Ming Zuo

Chapter 433 Judgment (1)

The case of Tian Xiaoe's murder of her husband and in-laws has already spread far and wide.

The woman who was supposed to be soaked in a pig cage was now put in a big prison, and a public trial was scheduled for another day, which immediately caused a huge disturbance in Linqing City.

This is Zuo Menggeng's base camp, so the steps are all at the forefront.Therefore, the local people more or less felt that Zuo Menggeng seemed to have something wrong.

But because everyone's life is getting better day by day and they are gradually getting rid of poverty, so for the common people, they absolutely support Zuo Menggeng.

The Linqing Municipal Government headed by Qu Shixi has been in operation for a long time, but it is strange to say that the "prefect" master in the hearts of the people seems to have never made a judgment.

Could this be to use Tian Xiaoe's case as an example to others?
Three days later, the university field in the east of the city was crowded with people, and it was impossible to get through.Almost all the people in Linqing City were mobilized and gathered here.

The last time it was so lively was the Linqing Hemispheric Experiment.

In addition to the eye-opening results of the experiment, the new clothes of Zuo Menggeng and Xu Ruolin entered the hearts of the public.

Looking at it today, it is surprising to find that many of the common people are wearing new-style clothes.

In particular, many workers actually wear overalls for convenience.

Work clothes can be imagined, for the convenience of work, the style must be simple, and it has more or less similarities with the clothes of later generations.

Zhengjiao hadn't appeared on the stage yet, and the people's discussions were raging, saying everything.

"If you want me to tell you, it's superfluous to attend the seat. What's the point of trial? That kind of woman who doesn't obey women's morals should be immersed in a pig cage."

"It's best to beat the board before soaking the pig cage. I've heard that this woman will take off her pants when she hits the board."

"Speaking of which, Tian Xiao'e is also a hard-working person. But there is no way. I met such a father and married such a bastard."

The common people didn't wait too long, the soldiers of the new army marched into the school grounds, controlling the surrounding area, and the scene was austere.

Everyone knows that the main show is coming.

Sure enough, Zuo Menggeng, Zhang Zhenxiu, Qu Shixu and others came together.

Among them, Zuo Menggeng and Zhang Zhenxiu walked to the center and sat down at the table with the "Chief Judge" plaque.

Although the title of "chief interrogator" is very novel, the meaning is clear at a glance. The big guys still know that today's trial is actually Zuo Menggeng and Zhang Zhenxiu.

This scene amazed many people, wondering why Qu Shiqi, who is a local parent officer, did not preside over the trial?

In fact, before today, even Qu Shisi thought that he was the one to judge the case.

When he learned that Zuo Menggeng was interrogated in person, he didn't care.

After all, Zuo Menggeng said that if he wanted to use this case to set an example, he could only grasp the scale by coming in person.

But when he learned that the deputy presiding judge was Zhang Zhenxiu and not himself, Qu Shixu couldn't sit still.

He couldn't help wondering, could it be that he made some mistake that made Zuo Menggeng start to guard against himself?
After he made an inquiry, Zuo Menggeng formally proposed the policy of separation of administration and judiciary.

From now on, judicial execution will be separated from the administrative system and will no longer be the responsibility of local parents.

This move caused a great disturbance within the camp, and many people expressed their opinions.There are those who agree and those who disagree.

Some of them are out of righteousness, and naturally some are out of interests.There are so many disturbances that it is difficult for non-wise people to judge.

Zuo Menggeng's approach was very simple. He directly wrote an article "On the Separation of Powers" and submitted it to the public for discussion.

The results can be imagined, they are all outstanding people, and they immediately realized the huge benefits contained in it.

The operation and checks and balances of power have been the focus of repeated thinking and improvement by the rulers since the beginning of politics.

It can be said that from ancient times to the present, considerations and measures on this issue have been continuously improving and improving.

But obviously, in front of Zuo Menggeng's concept of separation of powers, the methods and systems of the predecessors are all like a firefly.

The check and balance of power is not simply a way for the supreme power to prevent subordinates from harboring ambivalent intentions and plotting rebellion.Even as courtiers, they are actually trying their best to promote power checks and balances.

The reason is very simple, the more perfect the checks and balances of power, the less the emperor will interfere in politics, and on the contrary, it will allow the courtiers enough room to display.

Because once there is a problem among the officials, relying on the system of power checks and balances, the officials can be calmed down and resolved, and naturally there will be no excuses or necessity for the emperor to end.

Otherwise, it can only become a confrontation between the emperor and his officials like Zuoshunmen's plank.

From the very beginning of the establishment of the camp, Zuo Menggeng has been playing down his role in the administration, which makes everyone like the current way of operating the regime.

But what would happen if Zuo Menggeng became an emperor like Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di who interfered in every detail of administrative affairs?

Obviously, no courtier could stand that kind of emperor.

Zuo Menggeng established the responsibility system and the tenure system, and then let go of the administration as much as possible. Now that he takes away the judicial power, it can ensure that the emperor can still control the overall situation even if he does not interfere with the administration.

This is a situation he is happy to see, and it is also what everyone is happy to see.

Therefore, after understanding the meaning of the separation of powers, even Qu Shiqi happily became a bystander in this case.

The decision makers within the camp are all here today, and they are all spectators.

They all came to see how Zuo Menggeng would decide Tian Xiaoe's case.After all, the result of this case will become a precedent for similar cases in the future.

So far, in the territory ruled by the camp, there has not been a single or even a widely used legal clause.

Today is the beginning.

After Zuo Menggeng and Zhang Zhenxiu sat down, people noticed that the slightly lower place in front of them was divided into left and right areas.

On one side it says plaintiff, on the other side it says defendant, and next to it there are words such as jury.

They are all new tricks, which once again opened the eyes of ordinary people in Linqing.

After everyone was seated, Zuo Menggeng said without delay, "Take Tian Xiao'e into the court."

After a while, Tian Xiaoe, who was brought out of the prison, was escorted by two guards to the court and placed in the dock.

Under the gaze of tens of thousands of eyes, Tian Xiao'e was extremely flustered and tried hard to cover her face, but how could she do so?
The pointing and discussing voices were mixed with countless vicious accusations such as "human beings are as good as they can be", "shameless", "cowardly", "fox spirits", and so on.

Zuo Menggeng raised his eyebrows coldly, picked up the gavel beside him and patted it heavily, and shouted: "The court is an important place, no noise is allowed. Anyone who dares to make trouble will be severely punished."

In an instant, the scene was silent, and no one dared to speak again.

After controlling the situation, Zuo Menggeng looked at Huang Zonghui in the jury seat, and ordered: "Jury officer, please state the case."

Huang Zonghui stood up, and with the help of his assistant Cheng Xiaomei, he took a thick case file and began to read the case aloud.

The whole case is not complicated, and most of the details have already been known to the common people.After listening to it again at this time, many people were puzzled.

Such a case, is it necessary to work so hard?
Huang Zonghui eloquently and eloquently finished the whole case, and then said: "My lord, the facts of this case have been stated."

Zuo Menggeng nodded, signaling him to return to his position.Then he looked at Tian Xiaoe, who was still at a loss, and asked loudly: "Tian Xiaoe, have you heard the statement of the case just now? I am asking you, is there anything false in it? Please pay attention, this is your opportunity to defend yourself , I hope you cherish it."

Tian Xiao'e raised her head in astonishment, ignoring the gazes of her surroundings, trying to recall Huang Zonghui's words just now.

But after a long time, she fell down and found that there was not a single bit of falsehood in the case statement.

Seeing that she was silent, Zuo Menggeng asked: "Tian Xiao'e, is it true that you killed your husband Zhang Dacai, father-in-law and mother-in-law?"

Tian Xiao'e really didn't know why she had to be dragged into the public and suffer another humiliation.

But now that it's over, what can she do?

Amid Ruoyou Ruowu's sobs, she had no choice but to nod, admitting Zuo Menggeng's inquiry.

Seeing her plead guilty, the surrounding bystanders were in an uproar.Just when I was about to discuss again, I suddenly remembered Zuo Menggeng's warning before, and had to endure it forcefully.

But Zuo Menggeng didn't say anything about Tian Xiaoe's guilty plea, but said, "Take Tian Xiaoe's father, Tian Gouzi, to court."

Not long after, Tian Gouzi, Tian Xiaoe's father, was escorted to the court under the astonished eyes of the people.

Tian Gouzi is an old green skin, when has he seen such a big battle, his legs trembled in panic, and his crotch was almost wet.

When she saw Tian Xiao'e at the side, she immediately turned into anger and cursed loudly.

"You bitch lose money, don't take good care of your parents-in-law and husband, how dare you do such evil things, and make me embarrass myself, let's see if I don't beat you to death."

He didn't care about scolding, but he still wanted to turn over his seat to beat someone.

The guard next to him went up with two gun butts, and his bones were about to be broken when he was hit, shaking with fright in the wailing.

In the public, it's okay to endure the blame from the eyes of the world, but now she is about to be insulted by her father, Tian Xiao'e's sobs finally turned into loud tears.

Zuo Menggeng's heart was cold and hard, Quan pretended not to see it, but just looked at Tian Gouzi.

"Tian Gouzi, I called you here today because I need to ask you about the relevant details of Tian Xiaoe's case. You must answer truthfully, and you will bear the consequences for any false statements."

Tian Gouzi seemed to understand what he heard, but the ferocity of the guards and the gazes of the surroundings just now made him nod indiscriminately, not daring to make mistakes.

　I recommend the new book "I Have a Country-style Wife" by Yimeng Shanhai. It is a warm and daily life, all-you-can-eat dog food, and entertaining. It is a good way to pass the time.
