Chapter 436 Judgment (4)

There are four aspects of relevant personnel in Tian Xiaoe's case.

Tian Xiaoe's father Tian Gouzi, Tian Youzhuang from the Tian clan, and Zhang Wanhe from the Zhang clan were all sentenced to severe punishment.

Only Zhang Dacai and his parents were unable to attend today's court because they were killed by Tian Xiao'e, so naturally they could not accept the trial.

Even so, these three cases have had an immeasurable impact on the people.

At least everyone knows that from now on, any disputes and conflicts cannot be resolved privately in the countryside, but must be tried by the "government".

In the crowd of onlookers, the original country gentry, clan elders, etc. were all trembling, already thinking that after returning, they should stay away from right and wrong as soon as possible, so as not to fall into the fate of Tian Youzhuang and Zhang Wanhe.

People thought that the case was judged here and it should be over.

Since even Tian Gouzi, Tian Youzhuang, and Zhang Wanhe were sentenced heavily, it is obvious that Tian Xiaoe and Ma Tianjiu are innocent.

Unexpectedly, Zuo Menggeng soon found Ma Tianjiu.

"The relevant person, Ma Tianjiu, knew that Tian Xiao'e was already married, but still had no clear connection with her. He committed the crime of breaking the marriage and was sentenced to two years in prison. Considering his good intentions and his disability, his execution was suspended for one year."

The crowd boiled again.

No one thought that Ma Tianjiu was guilty.

Huang Zonghui couldn't bear it any longer, stood up and said, "Presiding officer, I don't agree with this verdict. If Wu Tian Gouzi forced it, Tian Xiaoe and Ma Tianjiu would already be husband and wife, not to mention that Ma Tianjiu had never had any affair with Tian Xiaoe." , so the judgment should not stand."

At least half of the onlookers agreed with Huang Zonghui's words.

Zuo Menggeng was firm.

"Ma Tianjiu and Tian Xiao'e have no marriage contract, so there is no factual significance. This court only bases on facts, and verbal agreement does not serve as a reference. After Tian Xiao'e married Zhang Dacai, Ma Tianjiu was still entangled. Naturally, he wanted to destroy other people's marriages. .”

Huang Zonghui froze, feeling aggrieved.

But Zuo Menggeng's words were indeed clear and plain, Ma Tianjiu and Tian Xiao'e did not have a marriage contract, so there was no de facto marriage relationship.

On the contrary, the marriage between Tian Xiaoe and Zhang Dacai was notarized and existed as a fact.

Given that Tian Xiaoe was already married, no matter what the purpose was, Ma Tianjiu had interfered in other people's marriages, so he was sentenced to the crime of breaking the marriage, which was appropriate.

Huang Zonghui was powerless to refute, so he had no choice but to ask questions where he didn't understand.

"Excuse me, the presiding judge, what's the explanation for the one-year suspension of execution?"

Zuo Menggeng declared on the spot.

"From the date of the judgment, in the next year, if the party behaves well and does not repeat the mistake, the two-year prison sentence will be cancelled. On the contrary, if the party commits the crime knowingly, the crime will be increased and the responsibility will be severely pursued."

People were silent at first, and then showed joy.

Only then did I understand that Zuo Menggeng's sentence seemed harsh, but it was actually lenient.

Because as long as Ma Tianjiu doesn't make any more mistakes in the future, this sentence will be tantamount to no sentence.

Will Ma Tianjiu commit a crime knowingly?
Obviously, for the kind-hearted him, it was simply impossible.

Ma Tianjiu also understood what was going on, and kowtowed heavily to Zuo Menggeng while lying on the wooden board.

"Thank you for your forgiveness, Mr. Caomin..."

Zuo Menggeng corrected: "It's not that I forgive you, but the law. The law is ruthless, but there is no warmth in the world. As a person, Ma Tianjiu, I admire your kindness and appreciate your kindness even more. Obsession with love. But as a judge, I can only interpret this case according to the law."

With tears in his eyes, Ma Tianjiu nodded heavily, listening to everything in his heart.

Tian Xiao'e next to him covered her face and cried, feeling relieved.

The only thing she could miss in this world was this man who lost everything for her.

Now that this man has got a good result, she has no regrets.

Of course, the next judgment will be her turn.

Zuo Menggeng put away his smile, returned to seriousness, and solemnly read out the most important judgment.

"The client, Tian Xiaoe, committed the crime of intentional homicide and arson, and was sentenced to death according to the law. However, the crime Tian Xiaoe committed was a resistance under oppression and humiliation, so it was reduced or exempted as appropriate. The court finally sentenced Tian Xiaoe to ten years in prison without parole or Sentence reduced."

Even Tian Xiao'e was sentenced to criminal responsibility, and all the onlookers were at a loss as to what to do.

Since the trial of the case, the cause and effect have already been clearly understood by everyone.

Even from the perspective of the most cold-blooded person, Tian Xiaoe is a poor person with a tragic fate.

Such a person, even if it is not enough to give her the greatest mercy, how can he punish her?
For a time, unacceptable people abounded.

In the corner of the crowd, the beautiful woman holding the little girl was gnashing her teeth even more.

"Bah, I thought you were a good person in vain, but I didn't know you were so vicious."

To say that the one who can't accept this result the most is Huang Zonghui.

As the person in charge of the case, he knows the details better than anyone else.

Now, seeing an innocent woman being charged with crimes, Huang Zonghui exploded.

"My lord, I don't agree with your judgment..."

Zuo Menggeng pushed back coldly.

"The objection is invalid. I declare that this court session ends here."

After all, he had already stood up, packed up the files, and left the stage hand in hand with Zhang Zhenxiu.

The court guards stepped forward and detained the parties one by one, showing that there was no room for repentance in this trial.

Huang Zonghui stood on the spot, only feeling that a mouthful of thick blood was bursting from his heart, which made people mad with anger.

When Tian Xiaoe was taken down, she suddenly ran in front of him, knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"Master Huang, it is thanks to your lord that the women are able to have their day today. The women will be set up as ancestral tablets for your lord, and will be enshrined every day, praying for your lord's long life."

Huang Zonghui slapped the table and shouted: "What is this? What I want is justice. Tian Xiao'e, just wait, I'll go and seek justice for you."

After all, he didn't care about the side, he pulled up his feet and chased after Zuo Menggeng.

Zuo Menggeng did not go far, and was still exchanging the case with Zhang Zhenxiu, Hou Xun, Li Banghua and others to finalize the detailed rules.

Huang Zonghui charged from a distance, completely ignoring the guards, and directly blocked Zuo Menggeng's way.

"San Zuo, you bastard!"

Everyone's complexion changed drastically, and they stopped him one after another.

"Huang Zewang, don't be rude!"

"Come on, take him down."

"Are you still up and down?"

Facing the accusations from everyone, Huang Zonghui didn't care at all.

"Hehehe, isn't our lord sitting here shouting that everyone is equal? ​​Why, can't you just scold him?"

Zuo Menggeng's expression didn't change at all, he waved his hands to block the fury of the crowd, and even smiled at the furious Huang Zonghui.

"You kid scolded me just now. When I find time, I have to beat you up. You can't beat me, so you're sure to get beat up. But before I beat you again, I have to convince you. Come with me, let's talk."

Zuo Menggeng dismissed the crowd and walked along the country road with only Huang Zonghui.

The surrounding guards were tens of meters apart, but the conversation between the two was overheard by a third person.

"What's your dissatisfaction?"

Huang Zonghui has already gone all out.

"What is Tian Xiaoe guilty of?"

Zuo Menggeng stood still and looked back at him.

"Tian Xiao'e killed someone."

"She killed all the people who deserved to be killed?"

Zuo Menggeng's words became much sharper in an instant.

"Who should kill? Who stipulated that Zhang Dacai and his parents should be killed? Who has the power to decide their life and death? Tian Xiao'e? If Tian Xiao'e has it, does it mean that other people also have it? Since anyone can decide the life and death of others, then we must What is our government, our laws?"

Huang Zonghui was stunned, completely unexpected that Zuo Menggeng turned the question to such an angle.

He was not a fool, and he understood almost instantly that Zuo Menggeng's meaning was actually the same as that of Zhang Wanhe's sentence.

Since Zhang Wanhe has no power to decide Tian Xiaoe's life and death, Tian Xiaoe naturally has no power to decide the life and death of Zhang Dacai and his parents.

Even if Zhang Dacai and her parents really deserve to die, she can only turn to the law and solve it through the law, not lynching.

"What...does this matter?"

After all, Huang Zonghui was still a little younger, and didn't understand the deep meaning of this.

Zuo Menggeng was much more serious, and also revealed the bloody truth behind it.

"What do you think is the essence of the law?"

He knew that Huang Zong would not be able to answer.

"The law, like the army, the police, and the government, is a tool for the ruling class to rule the ruled class. How can this tool be effective? Naturally, it is to shape its authority. Those heroes and gangsters want to lead the group , What is the first thing to do? It is to establish the rules. Only when the rules are established, can everyone know how to behave and whose orders they should obey. If it is a country or a political power, the law is the rules they set. "

Zuo Menggeng looked at the white snow on the ground, and quietly said: "How can this rule be feared and obeyed? That is because it can determine the fate of people. Life or death, honor or disgrace, reward and punishment are all in the law." Under the law, the law can penetrate into the hearts of the people, and everyone abides by it.

But what did Zhang Wanhe and Tian Xiaoe do?
They superseded the law and undermined its authority.You said, is this allowed? "

After a long speech, Zuo Menggeng nakedly presented the essence of the law in front of Huang Zonghui.
