Chapter 7 Trial

Qiao Tianxing sat back on the stage tremblingly.

According to the Imperial Criminal Procedure Regulations, public prosecution for criminal cases is the main focus and private prosecution is the auxiliary. In the First Instance, two chapters are stipulated, "public prosecution" and "private prosecution", which include crimes of traitoring, inducing, hindering security, credit, reputation and secrets, theft and robbery, fraud and obtaining money, embezzlement, and destruction and damage in the scope of "private prosecution".

The tragedy of Zheng's family was naturally a public prosecution. The so-called public prosecution is to file a case in the police system and submit it to the ***, procuratorial departments and procuratorial branches at all levels to file a trial court at all levels under the Dali Court.

Whether in civil litigation or criminal litigation, the defendant has the right to ask a lawyer to defend himself. In civil litigation, the prosecutor and the defendant can also apply for a designated defense, that is, the legal courts at all levels appoint a lawyer to him.

However, even in the South, the procuratorial systems and litigator systems at all levels are not complete, let alone Jiangbei. Moreover, when Chinese people sue, they are used to going to the lobby to complain to others by themselves. Therefore, many times, even if there are extremely serious crimes, they are still taking private prosecution methods. The prosecutor is usually a witness. This situation is inevitable at this stage and can only be standardized step by step.

Therefore, under the Imperial Criminal Procedure Ordinance, there is a special "Provisional Contract for Criminal Procedure", which stipulates the legality of "private lawsuits" and trials on the spot under current conditions. It also clearly stipulates that the "Provisional Contract" is valid for ten years, and the "Provisional Contract" will be abolished ten years later. At that time, litigation and trials that do not conform to the spirit of the Imperial Code will be considered illegal.

This ensures the stability of the transition period, and it will not make people feel that the imperial criminal law is just an unrealistic empty text. With a clear time limit, it can accelerate the reform of the imperial judicial system, which can be said to be a kill of three birds with one stone.

The most difficult thing is to improve the litigation system. There are only two law schools in the empire today, one in Guangzhou, the other in Jinling, and the law school of Peking University that is being prepared. However, students who graduated from the law school are proud to enter the public service system such as the censorship, supervision, prosecutor, and even the police, and the prefectural government office. No one will be a litigation club with a very bad reputation in the previous dynasty.

In the current system of litigation experts, the questions can only be put very simple. As long as you are familiar with the law code of this dynasty, most of them can pass it. Therefore, they are mostly self-taught people, and even have a group of poor scholars who have spent all their money to memorize the various legal provisions of this dynasty. This is also a feature of this dynasty.

However, new things will always slowly move from immature to maturity.

Today, Zheng obviously belongs to the private lawsuit in the "Provisional Constitution".

Qiao Tianxing took Zheng's confession and felt agitation when he suddenly saw Zheng kneeling down in the lobby and kowtowed, saying sadly: "Please ask the master to make the decision to seek justice for the people!"

Qiao Tianxing hurriedly asked the police to help him up and said warmly: "The new dynasty law does not need to kneel down."

Zheng just wiped his tears, thinking of his relatives who died tragically, and cried endlessly.

While Qiao Tianxing was looking at the case, Xie Qiaoyang, Director of the Rehe Police Department, Zhao Huineng, Procurator of the Rehe *** Department, and Mr. Gao, Envoy of Xuanwei on the Rehe East Road, entered the lobby one by one, all of which were invited by Ye Zhao.

Director Xie, Zhao Sijian, and Gao Qianhu were all nervous and came to kowtow to Ye Zhao, but Ye Zhao didn't pay much attention to them.

The three of them sat on a bench from a distance, looking at me, and I could see the horror in each other's eyes.

When Qiao Tianxing ordered the legal police to summon Zheng Sanzi and others to sue the suspect, Rehe Governor Tan Zhonglin and governor Wang Jingyou also arrived in a hurry, and naturally he received the letter from the emperor to the prosecutor's office.

When Tan Zhonglin and Wang Jingyou kowtowed, Ye Zhao only nodded lightly.

Tan Zhonglin was ashamed and ashamed. He had heard of the Zheng family's case a few days ago. He sent people to investigate it, but he had not received any reward. He also knew that Wang Jing was secretly making money by reclamation in the yard, but in Rehe, Wang Jing had a lot of relationships with the local government. The officials at the lower level of Rehe were more of Wang Jing's old subordinates. Without Wang Jing's, his government orders were difficult to understand at all. In the contest with Wang Jing, it was difficult to say that every step was difficult.

Wang Jingyou also found a seat to sit down, his eyes flashing, and he couldn't tell what he was thinking.

After a while, Zheng Sanzi and others also entered the lobby one after another. Several of them were escorted. He heard about this case that alarmed the emperor to prepare to escape, but the Shenji Camp had long surrounded the militia courtyard, and the entire militia was put out of firearms.

Twenty-three people involved in the case, eleven people were in the countryside, and the remaining twelve people were all taken to.

After cases of oppression of good people occurred in the capital and some provinces, the Royal Military Commission issued regulations, and militias were designated as militias and subject to local supervision. There was no need to make a decision by military courts. The enthronement of the provinces was controlled by the governor of the province.

At the same time, according to the conscription law just promulgated by the Empire, a reserve army system will be established. The reserve army includes retired royal soldiers, militias, etc., and will be formed according to provinces, equipped with a certain number of training weapons, equipped with a certain number of active royal soldiers as officer backbones, organizing rectification and personnel adjustments will be carried out every year, and a training ground will be built to conduct military training during the slack season every year.

This is also a measure to gradually rectify the local government's publicity and envoys to nationalize the militia system.

Zheng Sanzi's face was full of flesh, and he knew it was not easy to meet at first sight. When he arrived at the hall, he stared at Zheng with fierce eyes and cursed: "Little girl, if you had known that you were a bad guy, you would be a disaster. If you didn't kill you, I would be unlucky!"

Qiao Tianxing asked him that he confessed to the murder of Batian and other things, saying that he had taken a fancy to the Zheng family's fertile fields and deceived the officials. He moved flowers and trees to get the land of the field.

Listening to the meeting in the classroom, Gao Qianhu's tight fat face gradually relaxed and his expression became relaxed.

The governor Wang Jingyou turned his wrists and Buddhist beads more and more slowly. He squinted his eyes and leaned back to the seat.

Qiao Tianxing immediately sentenced that Zheng Sanzi and others killed people and robbed land, and their crimes were unforgivable and sentenced to the Dali Court. They were punished with hang and reported to the Dali Court. They will be executed immediately after the three-month appeal period expires.

Zheng was full of tears, knelt in the hall, shouting at Master Qingtian, and even turned around and kowtowed hard towards Ye Zhao.

Looking at Gao Qianhu and others with a relaxed face, Ye Zhao said coldly: "Xie Gaoyang, Zhao Huineng, are you two guilty?"

Director Xie and Zhao Sijian looked like a slut, and knelt down together: "I am aware of the crime." Such a major family-killing case occurred, and it turned out that the emperor and the victim came to submit the complaints to the prosecutor. No matter what happened, both of them could not be blamed.

Governor Tan Zhonglin, governor Wang Jingyou, and Gao Qianhu also hurried over to collect the crime.

Wang Jingyou thought of apology with a cautious look on his face, but it was funny. Emperor Shengde turned out to be like this. The thunder sounded loudly and the rain was small. The thunder was furious. He only cured Zheng Sanzi. At most, Xie Goongyang and Zhao Huineng were dismissed from office. It was really better to meet him than to be famous.

Ye Zhao stared at Zhao Sijian for a while and said, "I will give you a chance to make meritorious service." He said, pointing to Tan, Wang and Gao, "These three people have been dereliction of duty, which has led to constant armed conflicts in Rehe, and even led to family massacres. In a few days, the Supervision Department and the Beijing Procuratorate General Office will send an investigation team to investigate the matter. At that time, you are the deputy, and you must investigate the matter clearly. Now I want to give up their officials and they are not convinced. What kind of crime should be taken depends on your investigation. After the matter is clear, you are still in the prosecution department, and you will take the lead in conducting the public prosecution."

Zhao Sijian was stunned. If the emperor was just their official position, it would be fine if he could prove the blame by ***. But several officials wearing official hats and want to investigate them themselves? Where did this start?

Although the local prosecutor and procuratorial system have their own system in terms of personnel and finance, and there is no intersection with the Governor's Office and the Governor's Office, in the eyes of the Governor's Office, the Governor and the Governor's Office are naturally his superiors.

Wang Jingyou and Gao Qianhu were also stunned, only Tan Zhonglin smiled bitterly in his heart. If he had known this would have been the case. He saw Wang Jingyou's smile on the corner of his mouth before, Tan Zhonglin even felt a little pity for him, and he was ignorant of the things that were alive and dead. If the emperor didn't peel you off the skin, I would pick out my eyes as a bubble.

However, Tan Zhonglin took out a small cloth bag, took out a stack of documents and presented it to Ye Zhao, and said, "Emperor, this is part of the evidence that Wang Jingyou and others have collected for selling land to make money. I was waiting for the investigation to report it to the capital, but I didn't expect that he would make trouble more and more, and it has caused a massacre today. I am guilty of it."

Ye Zhao nodded slightly and took it and looked through it. He had long expected that Rehe was so chaotic that Tan Zhonglin could not do anything. Unless he saw the wrong person, if he really saw it, he could only punish him as one.

Wang Jingyou looked at Tan Zhonglin in shock. Wang Jingyou could say that he had a hand covering the sky in Rehe. After several fights, Tan Zhonglin had eaten the turtle. So Wang Jingyou didn't care much about Tan Zhonglin, an outsider. I think he had done something with the emperor. The emperor's jester had just left young. Who knew that this biting dog was really silent.

Ye Zhao looked through for a while and handed the stack of documents to Zhao Sijian and said, "It's so great, come and check the authenticity." He also said to Tan Zhonglin: "Whether you are involved in the case of relocation or not, you must be summoned by the Procuratorate to be a witness or make you defend your own guilt."

Tan Zhonglin hurriedly bowed and said yes.

Ye Zhao waved to the censor Qiao Tianxing again, and Qiao Tianxing jogged over quickly.

Ye Zhao said to Qiao Tianxing and Zhao Sijian: "You can deal with cases in the province independently. The governor and the governor have no right to interfere. Remember this."

Qiao Tianxing and Zhao Sijian bowed and listened to Ye Zhao's instructions and nodded repeatedly.

"Emperor, Your Majesty, I was instructed by Master Gao. I didn't know anything, I didn't know anything. The fields were all his!" Zheng Sanzi, who was escorted aside, was stunned for a long time when he saw this scene, suddenly shouted, knelt down and kowtow, and shouted: "Your Majesty, I have an 80-year-old mother, Your Majesty, please spare your life, Master Gao, Master Gao promised to take care of my old mother and take care of my child without a mother, Your Majesty!" Dongdong kowtowed.

Seeing that Gao Qianhu was about to collapse and his promise could not be fulfilled, Zheng Sanzi was still tough at this time?

"Don't talk nonsense at all!" Gao Qianhu's face turned green.

But Wang Jingyou knew that he was finished, and his body became weak and collapsed to the ground.
Chapter completed!
