If life had a starting line, someone was born in Rome

Chapter 209 The law can never transcend the simple moral sentiments of the people! (Three-in-one monthly pass plus updates)

Let Wang Daqiang let his pigs go to dig the ancestral graves of Li Zhuzi's family.

Also talking about "tit for tat"...

The viewers in the live broadcast room felt like their heads were going to burn.

"???"

"Wait a minute, it's already outrageous to hold a trial on the pig's tomb case, and this verdict is even more outrageous!"

"My CPU has been burned out. Shouldn't it be 'according to Article XXX of the law, what is the verdict now?' How come it's all tit for tat?"

"Yeah, it's incredible!"

"But it seems understandable. Think about it, Teacher Lin just said that the law does not support the demands of feudal superstition. Where does the legal basis come from? Isn't this the only way to take advantage of it?"

"Although, the law is strict, and judges represent the law to a certain extent, so we can't use tricks like this, right?"

“From the moment I entered this village, things have developed beyond my imagination.”

"Yeah, I don't understand it at all!"

"..."

The live broadcast room was filled with excitement, and everyone present was also surprised!

Ever since he heard Judge Li's verdict clearly, Wu Peng's mouth has not been closed:
"Huh? Can you still judge like this?! This is different from all the law popularization columns I have watched before... But there seems to be nothing wrong with tit for tat?"

Zhang Yunshu nodded with some emotion:

"Although it is quite informal, the idea of ​​tit for tat is inherently correct. More importantly, we are live broadcasting now, and the dramatic effect is full."

Zhou Zicheng twitched the corner of his mouth and said:

"What you're saying...well, maybe it's because I'm slow to accept new things. I don't quite understand it."

Even Sun Wei stopped painting and joined the discussion:

"According to my observation, Uncle Zhou Cheng has been recording, but can these things really be written into official documents? I don't understand, I really don't understand!"

The four children looked at each other and unanimously turned their attention to Lin Feng:
"Teacher Lin, what do you think?"

Lin Feng turned his head, looked at the four children with doubtful faces, and smiled slightly:
"This incident is a very rare training. You can see the essence through phenomena. You use your brains, observe and think. The teacher will not spoil the answer."

"Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't understand. The trial has just begun, so don't be impatient."

After the words fell, although the children did not get the answer, their hearts suddenly became quiet.

Teacher Lin is right, read first and think for yourself first.

The children calmed down, but the villagers did not have this awareness and pointed at the plaintiff and defendant on the court.

"As expected, he is a man who eats public food and has a tough temper. He is not as easy-going as the village chief."

"Is this matter settled like this? It's different from what I imagined."

"Tit for tat, no problem! The ancestors of the Wang family are uneasy, but the Li family can escape?"

"There is nothing we can do about future generations doing evil and bringing harm to their ancestors."

"What a sin, what a sin. You have to take good care of your own pigs from now on."

"Isn't that right? What happened?"

"..."

Amid everyone's discussion, Li Zhuzhu's expression became increasingly ugly.

But at this moment, Li Fengmao stopped shouting:
"Wang Daqiang! Go and let the pigs go! Under our witness today, we will completely settle the matter!"

When Wang Daqiang heard this, although he was old, he still started to roll up his sleeves with great vigor:

"Okay, sir, you are wise!"

Li Zhuzhu suddenly looked flustered, and then he became more and more frustrated the more he thought about it!

Expressions of grievance and anger appeared alternately on his face, and in the end, the veins swelled.

"hu~hu~"

He was like a crazy old cow, wheezing and panting, his eyes red:

"Whoever touches my ancestral grave will risk my life!"

Seeing Li Zhuzhu looking so crazy, the viewers in the live broadcast room stopped discussing whether the verdict was reasonable.

"Damn it, this has intensified the conflict!"

"Wang Daqiang is an old man. If he really confronts Li Zhuzhu, I'm afraid something will happen."

"Isn't this just the reason why I am making trouble? You, Li Zhuzhu, are only allowed to touch the ancestral graves of Wang Daqiang's family, and others are not allowed to touch yours?"

"You have to talk to reasonable people before you can make sense. Now there is no solution."

"What a mess! What a mess!"

"What should we do now?"

"..."

At the scene, Li Zhuzhu's appearance caught the eyes of the four children, making them extremely worried.

"Teacher Lin, what should we do?"

Wu Peng frowned and said:
"You're not really convinced by my crow's mouth, are you? There are no bailiffs here."

Zhou Zicheng sighed:

"What do Judge Li and Uncle Zhou think? They are going to suffer."

Sun Wei also stopped painting and stared at Li Zhuzi for observation, and found that his expression did not seem to be fake.

"How does this make sense? Grandpa Li and Uncle Zhou's legal education environment is really... ugh!"

Zhang Yunshu approached Lin Feng and whispered:

"Teacher Lin, do you want to ask the program team to pause the live broadcast? What we want is traffic, not blocking the live broadcast room."

Lin Feng looked at the four worried-looking children, smiled slightly, and looked confidently at Zhou Cheng and Li Fengmao on the stage.

"Don't worry, trust Judge Li and Uncle Zhou, they are veterans."

veteran?

Before the children had come to their senses, they heard Zhou Cheng's voice:

"Desperately? Fighting for what? Judge Li is a member of the public, and his golden words carry the emperor's orders. If you don't listen, wait for the underworld to judge you!"

With one word, Li Zhuzhu's crazy expression suddenly faded away, turning into uneasiness and paleness.

The four children all opened their mouths wide——

Magic defeats magic? !
Wait, aren’t Uncle Zhou and Judge Li a legal practitioner? ?
At this moment, the CPUs of the four children were all overloaded!

At this time, Zhou Cheng stood up and first said to Wang Daqiang:
"Wang Daqiang, come back first."

Although Wang Daqiang didn't understand why, he believed the two judges now and walked back as they were told.

Then, Zhou Cheng ignored him, put on a smile that looked like a subordinate trying to please his superior, and said to Li Fengmao:
"Judge Li, there is something I don't know whether to say or not?"

One sentence attracted everyone's attention, and Li Zhuzhu suddenly turned his head to look at Zhou Cheng.

Could things still be turning around? !

At this time, Li Fengmao nodded at Zhou Cheng unhurriedly.

After receiving permission, Zhou Cheng pointed at Li Zhuzi and said with a troubled expression:
"They say tit for tat, Li Zhuzhu will not pay compensation, and Wang Daqiang is right to let pigs go to dig up his family's ancestral graves. I have no objection to this."

Hearing this, Li Zhuzi was a little disappointed, but Zhou Cheng's voice followed closely:

"However, with this approach, the ancestors of the Wang family have not found peace, and the ancestors of the Li family have also been dragged into the water."

With that said, Zhou Cheng turned to Wang Daqiang:
"Can you tell me if this is true?"

Wang Daqiang's heated mind calmed down, and his mind turned around——

What this master said is correct. I sent pigs to dig up the ancestral graves of the Li family. The matter of my ancestors has not yet been resolved.

Zhou Cheng turned to Li Zhuzi again:
"Alas! You are also a jerk!"

"If you still work hard at every turn, I don't even bother to tell you!"

"Think about it, as descendants, how can we bring trouble to our ancestors because of a pig?"

Li Zhuzhu's expression changed again and again, and his attitude became slightly relaxed.

Zhou Cheng glanced at Li Fengmao lightly.

Li Fengmao understood, coughed, and said with some dissatisfaction:
"Are you interrupting Wang Daqiang's execution of the sentence just to say these harmless words? Do you know that this matter is very serious?!"

Zhou Cheng quickly put on a smile and said:

"I'm too talkative... Hey, just listen to Judge Li and go let the pigs go!"

This time, Wang Daqiang hesitated and did not act immediately like just now.

Li Zhuzi was running around anxiously and suddenly shouted:
"Your Honor! I have something to say!"

Zhou Cheng was happy in his heart, but it didn't show on his face.

The same was true for Li Fengmao, who just said lightly:

"What do you have to say?"

Li Zhuzhu said with a depressed expression:
"If I agree to do rituals for his family to eliminate disasters, can I not touch my family's ancestral graves?"

Li Fengmao seemed a little embarrassed:
"My golden words..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Cheng interrupted him:
"Judge Li, you are true to your words, but if Li Zhuzhu sincerely admits his mistake, please give him a chance."

After finishing speaking, Zhou Cheng ordered Li Zhuzhu again:

"Oh, you are sincere!"

Li Zhuzi lowered his head and said:
"I asked a Taoist priest to perform rituals for his family. I also killed the pig to eliminate disasters for his family, but I have to ask the judge to grant some grace."

"You don't know, my pig broke out of the pig pen and dug into Wang Daqiang's ancestral grave because he was pregnant with his cub."

"Now we can kill them all with one knife, and both the big pigs and the little pigs are gone."

"Just give me three months' grace. After the piglets are born and fed, I will sell the piglets to raise money for the ritual, and kill the sow to make noodles."

"If I have more children, I can still have some left over, so I won't be busy this year in vain."

Zhou Cheng looked at Wang Daqiang and asked him:

"Do you agree to this approach?"

Wang Daqiang's mind was still filled with Zhou Cheng's words just now.

If I didn't agree, I would be happy now, but I would have to pay for the money for the ceremony and the meat for the banquet...

So, he nodded and said to Zhou Cheng:

"Okay, three months, just three months."

When Zhou Cheng heard this, he begged Judge Li:

"Judge Li, you see that neither of them has any objections. Otherwise, could you please withdraw the judgment you just made?"

Li Fengmao thought for a full minute and nodded:
"For the sake of your pleading, okay, that's it." Li Zhuzhu's expression relaxed immediately, and Wang Daqiang also breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhou Cheng looked at the two of them and persuaded them again and again:
"Actually, that's okay. You see, you are all from the same village. You can't see each other when you look up. It's not appropriate to become enemies."

"There is an old saying that goes well, leave a fine line in everything so that we can meet again in the future."

"Everyone take a step back, okay, great!"

Wang Daqiang and Li Zhuzhu listened to Zhou Cheng's persuasion and looked at each other. This time, there was no hatred in their eyes.

"Uncle Wang, I'm sorry."

Li Zhuzhu lowered his head and said softly.

Wang Daqiang sighed and cursed:
"You! You don't even know how to raise the pen higher when raising pigs!"

"Forget it, I'll get you some rocks to cushion your grave later. If you dig another family's grave, a pig won't be enough to compensate you."

Li Zhuzhu nodded dullly: "Yes."

Seeing the reconciliation between the two, the villagers gave a thumbs up.

"That's how it should be, that's right!"

"What the judge said is reasonable. We are all from the same village. It's not worth it to make enemies!"

"I just said that Wang Daqiang's family is kind. If Li Zhuzhu admits his mistake earlier, the circle will be raised now."

"Even the village chief can't handle things, but the judge is still better."

"Why don't you just add 'official' in your title?"

"I think if we have something we can't handle in the future, we should know how to approach a judge!"

"Yes, good judge!"

"..."

The four children sitting behind the villagers listened to the villagers' discussions and remembered what Lin Feng had just said, with thoughtful expressions on their faces.

After a long time, Zhang Yunshu whispered softly:

"Although some of the steps are bizarre, who can say that this is not the popularization of law?"

Wu Peng nodded and said in agreement:

"That's right, the effect is immediate."

Then, he looked astonished:

"Teacher Lin, you said Judge Li and Uncle Zhou are veterans, so that's what you meant."

Zhou Zicheng also smiled happily:

"I'm actually waiting here! Absolutely amazing!"

Sun Wei smiled slightly, changed a piece of paper, and continued painting.

Lin Feng pointed to Wang Daqiang and Li Zhuzhu on the field and whispered to the four children:

"You see, the real situation in life is far more complicated than the legal provisions."

"Just like today's case, if the judges insist on clinging to the legal provisions and just ask for a feudal superstition that the law does not support, then there will be no way to deal with it, and the villagers will lose their trust in the law."

"It is far more difficult to hold court in a mountainous area than in a city, because in the city, the verdict often means the matter is resolved. Even if you are not convinced, everything has rules to follow."

"But in mountainous areas, due to people's level of education, sentencing is not the focus. The focus is often on solving the problem and not letting it expand."

With these words, the four children were suddenly enlightened!

Zhang Yunshu looked at Lin Feng with admiration:

"Teacher Lin, no wonder you just said that this is an opportunity for us to learn to see the essence through phenomena, and we understand a little bit."

Sun Wei also raised her little hand:

"Teacher Lin, a veteran is a veteran. He has a unique vision and has learned what he has learned."

Wu Peng puffed up his chest:
"I also gained something. I saw a different kind of law popularization lecture!"

Lin Feng touched his head: "Well, great."

Zhou Zicheng watched Lin Feng interact with Zhang Yunshu and Wu Peng, and suddenly he was no longer anxious about his future.

For the first time in my life, I had the idea of ​​learning slowly.

Lin Feng smiled and took in everyone's expressions, and said with emotion:

"If you gain something, it will be in vain for me to take you on this trip."

The viewers in the live broadcast room saw their interaction in their eyes and smiled at the corners of their mouths.

"Where can I find this kind of teacher and this kind of class?"

"I don't care, in the live broadcast room it's just a lesson, I learned it!"

"In mountainous areas, most people are like Li Zhuzhu, they don't understand anything, and they just try hard at every turn. So what Teacher Lin said makes sense. What Zhou Cheng and Judge Li did is really difficult."

“It’s my first time to see such a unique court, and I’ve benefited a lot!”

"Thank you, Teacher Lin, and thank you to the two judges!"

"..."

Amid everyone's discussion, Judge Li discussed the follow-up details and implementation issues with Wang Daqiang and Li Zhuzhu in an orderly manner.

Then, the trial ended.

At this time, it was already lunch time. Several children had gotten up early in the morning and started climbing. By now, they were already hungry.

When a half-grown child gets hungry, the growling sound in his belly can be heard from a distance.

Zhou Cheng finished sorting out the paperwork and was about to come find Lin Feng and the others. When he heard the children cooing one after another, he smiled sheepishly:

"Are you all hungry? Then let's go to the village chief's house. I already agreed before you came that we would eat together."

When the four children heard this, they looked at Lin Feng with bright eyes. When they saw him nodding, they jumped up immediately:

"Thank you, Uncle Zhou. That's great. Let's go have dinner!"

The group of people skipped to the village chief's house. Before they got closer, their eyes saw the smoke from the cooking stove, and their noses smelled the smell of burnt food.

Now, the children are even more greedy!
Zhou Cheng and Judge Li walked in front and pushed open the half-open wooden door of the village chief's house. Several children stretched their heads to look and were stunned.

Instead of the food on the table as expected, a pit was dug in the middle of the dirt yard and firewood was lit in it.

There was a pile of dark stuff in the fire, and the burning smell came from that thing.

Zhang Yunshu saw this scene for the first time and asked Lin Feng curiously:

"What's in the fire? Are we going to eat that later?"

Lin Feng nodded and explained:

"Those are potatoes, but the firewood was unevenly heated, smoked, and burned like this, so you didn't recognize them."

"The conditions here are much worse than those in Xiangzhang Village. The villagers' staple food is potatoes, and we also eat this."

Zhou Cheng heard their conversation, with an apology on his face, and said:
"I also brought instant noodles. I'll boil some water for you to soak in later."

Hearing this, Lin Feng patted Zhou Cheng on the shoulder:

"Thank you for your hard work! None of us picked on you."

He knew that his old classmates had tried their best to entertain him. They usually rode horses over the mountains and ate more dry food and cold food.

Hearing Lin Feng's words, the four children all smiled.

"Thank you Uncle Zhou, it smells great."

"Integrating into the local food habits and understanding the customs is also a course. This is what I eat."

"It tastes good to me!"

Zhou Cheng looked at the four sensible children and smiled. Lin Feng taught the children well.

At that moment, the group of people sat up around the bonfire.

The village chief arrived belatedly at this time, carrying a polished aluminum pot without a lid. When he entered the door, he shouted:

"Judge, I went here specially to collect the mountain spring water. Instant noodles are such a good thing. You need this kind of water to avoid wasting them!"

The village chief's smiling words made the children silent for a moment, and then everyone remained silent in tacit agreement.

After another busy time, everyone finally got something to eat.

Wu Peng held the potatoes that were burnt black, and his face was ashen after peeling. He turned his head and saw that Zhou Cheng's face was also stained with ashes.

Look at Teacher Lin Feng again. Although his face is clean, his hair is also stained with dirt raised by firewood.

"I thought places like Xiangzhang Village and Huapin Women's High School were already very poor, but I didn't expect that deeper here, it could be even poorer..."

Thinking of this, Wu Peng admired Zhou Cheng and Li Fengmao even more!

And this scene also fell into the eyes of other children.

Especially Zhang Yunshu and Zhou Zicheng, in their perception, Xiangzhang Village is already very poor.

But on the second day after arriving, I went directly to a poorer place, and the impact was even greater!
The two of them looked at Zhou Cheng and Li Fengmao and sighed in their hearts. Judge Li said before that the grassroots were hard, but they didn't expect it to be this hard!

Judge Li also said that his ideological consciousness is not high. He has been like this for 50 or [-] years. How can he be called high? !
At the same time, the two of them had more and more profound thoughts and emotions about the choices of Zhou Cheng and Lin Feng.

Sometimes, the word "admiration" has too little meaning.

In this atmosphere, everyone ate quietly.

Wu Peng was restless. After eating five potatoes in a row, he looked left and right again and couldn't help but ask:
"Uncle Zhou, I want to ask you a question."

Zhou Cheng smiled slightly and nodded:

"You said."

"I heard from Teacher Lin that the law does not support the demands of feudal superstition."

Wu Peng said in a low voice with curiosity:
"Then you held the court with great fanfare and put on such a big show. Why did you do this?"

Zhou Cheng thought for a moment and said:
“Law popularization is not just about telling people how to write legal provisions.”

“In a certain sense, what popularizes the law is people’s expectations for justice and recognition of civilization.”

“So, if it’s not supported by the law, we have to reject it.”

"You know, the law is just the lowest bottom line of morality."

"Beyond the law, there are also things like ethics and conventions."

“Together with the law, they build the civilized cornerstone of a society.”

"The villagers don't understand the law, but that doesn't mean they don't understand morality."

"They have developed their own simple sense of justice because of things like morality and ethics."

"And our laws can never transcend the simple moral sentiments of the people!"

"So, we should take care of Wang Daqiang's family affairs! We must also use certain skills to take care of it!"
