Northern Song Dynasty Justice

Chapter 207 Rescue
Oops?

Fan Chunren turned his head to look at Zhang Fei, "What do you mean by that?"

Zhang Fei said solemnly, "If you can't expose Huang Laoer's ugliest side, the chances of winning this lawsuit will be much smaller."

This lawsuit is an extrajudicial affair, so this affection must be in place, otherwise, it will be difficult for affection to break through the boundaries of the law.

Fan Chunren pondered for a while: "The presiding officer must have asked the right questions, otherwise, you don't need to appeal, and the judge standing next to him will definitely reject the presiding officer's judgment."

"It's different!"

Zhang Fei shook his head.

Fan Chunren asked, "What's the difference?"

Zhang Fei said: "Erbi is aggressive and can set traps in the question, but the presiding judge asks questions in a fair manner and is not offensive. He just raises his own questions based on doubts. It is easy to guess, and we could have thought of a countermeasure in advance, but it is difficult to expose the ugliest side of the other party."

Fan Chunren nodded slightly, and asked again: "Then which interrogation method do you think is more fair?"

Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Does it need to be said, of course it is the former."

"Why?" Fan Chunren asked.

Zhang Fei said: "Because both parties will do their best to protect their client and at the same time spare no effort to attack the other party. This is almost certain. If the main interrogator asks questions."

He tilted his head to look at Fan Chunren, and said with a smile: "Fan Sijian and I have fought two lawsuits, and you should know that many questions seem to be fair, but asking them at different times and changing the order, the effect is that Very different."

Fan Chunren lowered his eyebrows and remained silent.

He was the only one who felt deeply about this.

Because he had fought against Zhang Fei before, he had to hide many questions that were beneficial to him, and he had to wait for the opponent to make a move first, and then bring it out to refute, if he took it out first, he might be countered by the opponent.

If it is led by the presiding officer, who knows what he is thinking, what is his purpose for asking this question.

Xu Zhiqian, who was in the hall, also felt something was wrong. Judging by Liang Dong's attitude, she didn't know how much room she would give them.

In the previous interrogation method, Erbi was also qualified to ask questions, but the main line was controlled by the judge, and Erbi could only make a defense based on the judge's questions.

as predicted.

When Huang Yongli went to the hall, Liang Dong asked directly: "Huang Yongli, as an only son, why didn't you take your elderly mother to live with you?"

Since the Song Dynasty attached great importance to filial piety, in the "Song Xingtong", there is such a rule that if you have a different family and riches, if you have a lack of support, you can be considered a crime of unfilial piety.

That is to say, when the parents are old, the children divide the parents' property privately and set up a separate family, which leads to the failure of the children to fulfill their duties of supporting their parents.

The crime carries a maximum penalty of death.

Therefore, no matter how ruthless Huang Yongli was, he would not dare to sell the house while his mother was alive.

Liang Dong also had to question this point when he came up.

Huang Yongli immediately complained: "The official has learned that the villain is wronged. After my father passed away, the villain always wanted to take his mother to live with the villain, but the mother is used to living in the old house and has always refused to live with the villain. Living together, the villain even argued with his mother several times for this."

Xu Zhiqian immediately said: "If you are really filial, why did you never show up for your mother's birthday in the past few years?"

Huang Yongli looked sad, shook his head and said: "This is indeed my negligence. All these years, I have focused on making money to support my family and neglected my mother's birthday. I am really unfilial!"

As he spoke, he choked with sobs and wiped his eyes.

Li Lei on the opposite side immediately said: "Regarding this point, Si Lu can send someone to ask how busy Huang Yongli is every day. He gets up early and sleeps late every day, and often forgets his own birthday. Mrs. Xu has been pampered since she was a child, so she naturally doesn't understand the common people hard work."

Xu Zhiqian was also forced to change the subject of the question, and said to Liang Dong: "If Si Lu knew what Huang Yongli was doing on the eighth day of the seventh month two years ago, he would know that what he said was all lies and could not be trusted."

These questions were originally used to ask Huang Yongli, but now she can only go directly to persuade the chief interrogator.

Liang Dong asked Huang Yongli, "What were you doing on the eighth day of the seventh month two years ago?"

Huang Yongli thought for a while, and said with a little guilt: "That day seems to be the villain's [-]th birthday."

Liang Dong immediately looked at Li Lei.

Huang Yongli immediately explained: "That's what the villain's wife has to do, it has nothing to do with the villain!"

Xu Zhiqian asked again: "Did you invite your mother to go that day?"

Huang Yongli replied: "Of course I invited, but my mother refused to come."

Of course he didn't, but such things are hard to prove.

Xu Zhiqian said: "The only son's [-]th birthday, the mother refused to come, can Uncle Huang explain why?"

After Li Lei heard this, a look of joy flashed in his eyes.

Huang Yongli said: "Didn't I say it before, I had a few arguments with my mother before, and she was angry with me."

Xu Zhiqian was just about to continue asking, but Liang Dong asked first: "You kindly took your mother to live in your house, no matter what, it is considered filial piety. Even if your mother is unwilling, she shouldn't be angry with you. You should be honest. Is there another secret?"

Xu Zhiqian saw that Liang Dong's question was reasonable, so she kept silent.

Huang Yongli glanced at Liang Dong with a guilty conscience, and said: "The villain dare not lie to the officials. In fact, the villain wanted to take his mother to live in the villain's house, and then sold the old house."

"Bastard!"

Liang Dong immediately reprimanded: "In the final analysis, you don't want to be filial at all, but want to seek your parents' property. It's really unreasonable."

Li Lei immediately said: "Si Lu Mingjian, in fact, the two are not in conflict. Huang Yongli really wants to sell the old house, because for him, this is actually killing two birds with one stone. He can fulfill his filial piety and get a fortune at the same time." Money, let your business go to the next level.”

Liang Dong said: "You are purely sophistry, can't you be filial if you don't sell this old house?"

Li Lei remained silent.

Huang Yongli also bowed his head guiltily and remained silent.

Liang Dong slapped the gavel, and scolded, "Why don't you come here quickly?"

Huang Yongli said: "Small man. The villain wants to take his mother to live at home. It is indeed a little selfish, but the villain also really wants to take his mother to live at home."

Li Lei explained again: "Si Lu, it's human nature to have some disputes between mother and child. Although Huang Yongli acted unfilially, he still respected his mother's wishes in the end and did not force her to sell the house."

Liang Dong nodded slightly.

Xu Zhiqian was completely dumbfounded. After Liang Dong's questions, she didn't even have a chance to intervene. Liang Dong had completely disrupted her rhythm.

Liang Dong's questions seemed fair, but in fact he followed the other party's answer and asked, rather than questioning.

It seems that it is not good for Huang Yongli, but it has been proved from the side that Huang Yongli actually wants to take his mother to live with him. No matter what the reason is, at least he has this plan.

Although filial piety is mixed with interests, who can figure out how much filial piety accounts for and how much interest accounts for.

And he can also use the quarrel with his mother to explain many of his unfilial behaviors.

Mother and son are angry, if you say they are not filial, it is also considered unfilial, and the son should let the mother go. For scholars, this will definitely be criticized by others, but for ordinary people, this is also human nature.

Definitely not a heinous crime.

One can tell from the attitude of the people watching the trial at the gate.

No one was very angry.

Some people even think that this old woman is really too stubborn, and it is not easy for her son to do business. If you live with your son, it is good for you and good for your son.

Xu Zhiqian was a little flustered immediately, the situation was already very unfavorable to her, Liang Dong had already determined whether Huang Yongli had asked him to be the Patriarch, if it could not be reversed, it would be very troublesome.

However, Liang Dong was the chief interrogator, and he would not accommodate these pens. He just waited for a while, and seeing that Xu Zhiqian was silent, he said loudly, "Biography to Mrs. Liu and Wu."

Xu Zhiqian was startled, and hurriedly said: "Si Lu, I. Haven't I finished asking?"

Liang Dong asked with a smile, "Do you have any questions?"

Xu Zhiqian didn't think of a countermeasure yet.

Liang Dong said very forgivingly: "Here you are, you can ask later when you think about it." Then he ordered: "First pass on Liu Wu."

Fan Chunren, who was watching from the sidelines, saw that Zhang Fei was sweating profusely, and couldn't help laughing: "Maybe you were right before, but this also proves that as long as you change the interrogation method, your method will not work."

Zhang Fei suddenly had an idea, he laughed and said, "I can't do it? If Fan Sijian can guarantee that I won't be punished later, I can immediately turn the situation around and nail Huang Yongli to death."

Fan Chunren was very curious and asked, "What are you going to do?"

Zhang Feiyun said calmly: "I'll just say a few words. That's enough."

Fan Chunren really doesn't believe it, you can turn the tables with just a few words, do you think you are a god?I thought to myself, shouting a few words is not a serious crime, so I nodded and said: "Okay! If you only shout a few words, I guarantee that you will not be beaten."

"Look! Don't blink!"

After Zhang Fei said that, he rushed over, jumped up, and cursed angrily: "Huang Yongli, you are not as good as pigs and dogs! You didn't hesitate to kill your own mother in order to sell the house. The murderer, you are a murderer!" mother murderer."

When he yelled, everyone was shocked.

Murderer?
Kill mother?
real or fake?

One of the officials was the first to react, and hurriedly ordered the servants, "Stop him, stop him quickly!"

Immediately, two yamen servants rushed over and stopped Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei shouted while struggling: "Huang Yongli, you bastard, your mother has been suffering from illnesses for the past two years, but you bastard has turned a blind eye to it." , you didn’t even invite a doctor, because you wished for your mother to die sooner, so that you could sell the house sooner.”

Huang Yongli panicked immediately, and retorted subconsciously: "I didn't! You wronged me!"

you idiot.Zhang Fei shouted: "I wronged you? Did you take your mother to see the doctor? Did you pay for your mother's medical treatment? You are a beast worse than a pig and dog. For money, you can even kill your mother." But you didn't expect it, Granny Huang has already seen through your thoughts, she would rather give the house to others than to you, and you will be mad at you, haha, retribution, retribution! Hahaha!"

Liang Dong also reacted, burning with anger, "How did this guy come in? Let me catch him quickly, it is really unreasonable, dare to play tricks in my court, I have to do it today!"

"Sorry! Sorry!"

Fan Chunren ran over suddenly, panting, "Liang Silu, I brought him in. I am so sorry for disturbing Liang Silu's trial. I will take him away now."

Liang Dong looked at Fan Chunren, he didn't look at the monk's face, he had to look at the Buddha's face, the key point was that he was an admonisher, who specialized in impeaching officials, this kind of favor would have to be sold, so he coughed: "Fan Sijian quickly take him out of here. "

"Yes yes yes! Another day, Fan will come to the door to plead guilty."

Fan Chunren cupped his hands again and again, feeling very guilty, and then pulled Zhang Fei outside, teaching him a lesson as he walked.

Where was Zhang Fei listening? Turning around, he secretly winked at Xu Zhiqian.

After leaving the door, Fan Chunren excitedly said: "You are wronging people."

Zhang Fei argued: "Why did I wrong someone? Didn't Fan Sijian hear it just now? He admitted that it was for money. Then Fan Sijian thought about it. His mother died of illness. Who is the biggest beneficiary? I got the house I wished for."

Fan Chunren said: "You are just speculating, there is no evidence."

Zhang Fei nodded and said, "I'm guessing, then Liang Silu won't listen to me either! Hehe."
