Chapter 32: Judgment (5,000 words) "Hmph."
Qi Minzhi was arrested, but he just snorted coldly, and he didn't look at Li Zhen at all.
Li Zhen ignored his faux pas, stared at him for a while, and said slowly: "Four years ago, there was a theft incident in the Yuezhou Shipyard, the drawings of a new design of a rapid response warship were stolen, and at the same time, there was a senior ship designer named Yan Minzhi and four or five apprentices led by him.
In less than half a year since then, pirates in the South Seas have become rampant, and most of them are equipped with a kind of fast warship called the Laoshan class, because it is too fast, there are almost no opponents at sea, and even the warships of the navy can only eat farts behind them - this kind of ship must be improved by you through the stolen blueprints of fast warships, right?
Good fellow, do you know how much money your Hongu lost by the fire?
” This incident was too big at the time, Li Zhen was deeply impressed by it, the original drawings were stolen, and the Yue ship had time to redesign a warship with the same performance - the problem was that Yan Minzhi also set a fire when he stole the drawings, and burned half of the warehouse where the drawings were stored, and countless materials were burned.
When they finally completed the information, and caught up with the peak period of going to sea, almost every day there are merchants here to place orders, and almost every day a few ships are launched, which leads to the design of the new ship has been intermittent, until the middle of last year, the design work was completed, and after half a year of verification and commissioning, the destroyer was completed and delivered to the navy, but the production capacity is still limited, almost three months have passed, and only two fleets of the Lingnan Naval Region are equipped.
However, after more than three months of trial production, the shipyard's manufacturing process has matured, and I think that within the next year, it should be almost able to equip the whole army, and at that time, the arrogance of pirates should be suppressed.
"Humph!"
Qi Minzhi still didn't answer, just glared at Li Zhen, with obvious disbelief flashing in her eyes.
"Hey, you're all on this, and you're still so crazy?
You are very good, let Cheng Ye teach you to be a man again today.
Cheng Chuliang next to him saw that Qi Minzhi had arrived at this point, and he was still so unruly, he simply didn't take Li Zhen in his eyes, his whole person was angry, and he stretched out his hand to teach him a lesson.
"No, what are you fighting with a dying man?"
Li Zhen hurriedly grabbed Cheng Chuliang: "What's more, it's not good to use lynching, we are the government, we must try him in accordance with the law, otherwise no one will be convinced, and even we can't interfere in the matter of trying them, we must hand it over to someone who is really qualified and has the right to judge them." ” Cheng Chuliang was speechless: "Hey, my Highness, when did you become so pedantic?"
What are the rules for talking to such scumbags?
Besides, they don't talk to us about the rules, why should we talk to them?
” "They're brutes, are you too?"
Li Zhen said, but his eyes glanced at the crowd, and found that several of them had excited looks on their faces, and what they were thinking one by one was so clear that there was no need to guess at all.
But where is it that simple?
The corners of Li Zhen's mouth hooked up a sneer, he just wanted to tease and tease this group of scum, but he didn't expect anyone to really believe it.
"Beloved, you are the supreme governor here, and you have the right to judge the prisoners, so this matter will be left to you.
As for the jury matter, there are so many people here, each of them is an elite of Datang, so let's randomly select sixty people from the scene. ” The jury system was founded by Li Zhen a few years ago, and this is also his own reason, because at the beginning he killed more than 100 civil and military officials with one sentence, and was attacked by the government and the opposition frantically, Li Zhen had a very bad life during that time, and even pedantic scholars threw rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves at him when he walked on the street, so that he didn't dare to go out during that time, which was terrible.
So after the matter calmed down, in order to take revenge, Li Zhen proposed the jury system to Li Shimin, and used himself as an example to say the disadvantages of arbitrariness, and proposed that local officials could refer to this system when trying cases, and randomly select some famous squires or scholars in the local area to participate in the trial of the case, so as to prevent unjust, false and wrongful convictions.
After this proposal was handed in, everyone was instantly speechless, although they were frantically opposed, because doing so would be tantamount to weakening the rights of the officials themselves, and of course they did not want to.
But Li Zhen used himself as an example, and they attacked Li Zhen a lot in their previous affairs, the reason is that he is arbitrary, if he doesn't agree, it shows that they are all bullshit in their previous words.
Now it's very funny, Baiguan doesn't want to agree, but if he doesn't agree, he is slapping himself in the face - the prince kills people and is arbitrary, and now this kind of thing has fallen on your heads, and you don't agree again, what kind of truth is this?
Are you still not doing double standards?
Or are there some things that the prince is not allowed to do, but you can do them as a matter of course?
Is the prince bigger, or are you bigger?
Therefore, although a hundred people disagreed in their hearts, the civil and military officials still pinched their noses and passed this proposal - in fact, even if they disagreed, it was useless, because the decision power in this matter was actually in the hands of the emperor and those ministers, they were all long-term visioners, and they could naturally see how much benefit the jury system had in restricting the rights of local magistrates and preventing them from becoming bigger, and what benefits it was for the stability of the country.
In other words, no matter how dissatisfied the low-level officials are, this proposal will actually be passed, and it will be issued as soon as possible - of course, although the proposal was agreed, they also hated the initiator of this matter, that is, Li Zhen.
"Yes, my subordinates obey."
Fang Yiai figured out what Li Zhen wanted to do, and a smile appeared on her face - His Royal Highness is still so naughty, but these fools are naïve enough, is His Highness really a good gentleman?
They also don't want to think about it, when did His Highness let the enemy go so easily?
Where have the millions of natives in Nanyang gone, don't these people have a little bit of pressure in their hearts?
The jury was quickly selected, all of them were selected from the Junior Army, each of whom could be said to be the elite of the country, both civil and military, and had great military achievements, and of course they were qualified to serve as jurors - the only problem was that these people were all Li Zhen's henchmen, but the conditions were limited, so let it be.
"Ahem...... coughed dryly, and Fang Yiai's face turned straight: "Well, this condition is simple, let's do simple things."
Now, Pontus announces that the Coconut Harbor 56 Regional Underworld Prisoner Trial Conference, now on, the first, to bring people to prisoner Piero. ” "Whoa."
Piero was tied to the chains and pushed up.
Fang Yiai took out a fold from his arms (in fact, it was the list that Golden Tooth gave to Li Zhen), and asked in an official tone: "Piero, now someone accuses you of murder, smuggling, black eating black, theft, robbery, and forced women......
There are a total of 12 charges, can you admit it?
” "Of course I won't admit it."
Although Piero knew that he couldn't escape this catastrophe, he didn't have a little luck in his heart, and he stiffened his neck when he heard the words: "I don't think it's a good thing, and occasionally I will do a little illegal smuggling business, but you can't wronged people, I haven't done murder - you'd better be responsible for what you said, and you'd better come up with strong evidence, otherwise I'll appeal." ” "Evidence?"
Fang Yiai was stunned, is there really such a shameless person?

However, Piero's words also stumped him a little, where did he get the evidence at this time?
"Yes, now the judiciary advocates conclusive evidence, and it is not allowed to be punished without teaching, since you want to solve the problem in accordance with the law, then you had better come up with evidence, otherwise even if I die, I will die blindly."
"This ......"
Fang Yiai glanced at Li Zhen, speechless in her heart, it's all your fault, what kind of trial is playing?
It's good now?
Stopped being asked, right?
What now?
Who knew that Li Zhen was not in a hurry at all, but put her hand into her arms and asked Piero: "You want evidence, right?"
Then the palace will give you evidence - but there is one point, if according to the crime just now, your punishment is to cut off the head, but if the palace shows evidence, then you will at least be cut in half......
Are you sure you really want to look at the evidence?
” "......"
Piero was a little weak-hearted, did he really have any evidence?
But things have come to this point, and Piero has no way out, so he has to say strongly: "That's right, you say I'm guilty, but you have to make me a ghost, right?"
As for the halving......
I admit it. ” "Good."
Li Zhen took her hand out of her arms.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were firmly fixed on his right hand, because in their minds, this hand was likely to hold evidence that could cause Piero to be convicted of a capital crime, and it was probably not only Piero, but it was probably the ironclad evidence of all the criminals present.
Therefore, as this hand was slowly taken out, everyone's hearts were also raised, but when Li Zhen's hands were really taken out......
"Hey!"
Everyone was almost, because there was nothing, they went in and came out empty-handed, not even a piece of paper.
"Your Highness, what the hell are you doing?"
Even Fang Yiai is a little angry, isn't this playing with people?
"This palace has never said that the evidence is in his arms."
Li Zhen chuckled: "The evidence is actually in the mind of the palace, and the palace now identifies Piero as guilty, and all twelve charges are established......"
"What's the use of your designation?"
Piero felt that he had been tricked, and said angrily: "Could it be that if you are the crown prince, you can wronged people in vain?"
” "Of course, this palace will not wronged people."
Li Zhen looked at him indifferently: "But since this palace said that you are guilty, you are naturally guilty......
Isn't the words of this palace still used as evidence?
” "Of course this is possible, if His Highness's words cannot be used as evidence, I am afraid that there will be no one in this world who can be a witness."
Fang Yiai finally understood Li Zhen's plan, he said bluntly, he actually planned to anger this group of scum before he died, first give them a little hope of life, and then cut off this hope with his own arrogance and unreasonableness, so that this group of people died in depression, even if they died, they couldn't turn a blind eye.
Fang Yiai misunderstood Li Zhen, of course he did have this idea, but the most important thing was not this.
It's not that Li Zhen doesn't have or can't find evidence, at least the ledger in Fang Yiai's hand has recorded all the criminal records of the black market, and there is naturally Piero among them, and he can be put to death.
The problem is that the ledger is too bad, if it is announced, it will not only involve the group of people in the black market, but also those who have identities on the surface - if this list is published, I am afraid that it will cause social turmoil, even if Li Zhen does not make it public, once some people know about the existence of the ledger, I am afraid that they will not be able to sleep well, and finally take risks.
In addition to this evidence, Li Zhen can be identified by the locals, Piero is rampant in the black market, it is impossible to say that he did not offend or kill people, and a few witnesses can identify him......
The problem is that time is pressed now, and it is also for the sake of witnesses, so that they will not suffer retaliation afterwards, so Li Zhen simply made this identification himself - although from a legal point of view, he does not meet the identity of a witness, but now his status is the highest, and the conditions at the scene are simple, it is no problem to make do with it, and no one will say anything in the future.
"I ......
You ......"
Piero stammered, he didn't expect Li Zhen to be so shameless, logically speaking, the law is fair, even if Li Zhen comes forward to testify, there is no conclusive evidence that the case cannot be filed.
But his identity is different after all, the credibility of the prince is of course very strong in this era, since Li Zhen is willing to identify Piero as guilty, then in the eyes of others, he is naturally guilty, not to mention that Piero himself is not clean, and the crimes accused by Fang Yiai are also true, and he does not mean to wronged him, so others will naturally not say anything.
Even so, Li Zhen didn't intend to let him go: "Of course, this palace is not without giving you a chance, if you can have evidence to prove that this palace's identification is wrong and is a false accusation against you, you can also file a counter-false accusation against this palace, as long as the evidence is conclusive, even if it is this palace, you can't escape the severe punishment of the law - the question is, do you have evidence?"
” That's a bit too hooligan, you're accusing others, you should be the one who comes up with the evidence, why let the family come up with the evidence?
But Li Zhen's identity is here, no matter how much others complain in their hearts, they still agree very much on the surface.
Especially Fang Yiai, who is the chief judge, praised Li Zhen with a clear conscience: "Yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so right, Piero said that you are not guilty, so you should show evidence?"
Or is anyone willing to testify for you......

Didn't you?
So what else do you say?
Since you can't give a stronger explanation for our accusations, your charges are valid......
In this case, the Protectorate of Benzon announced: The Protectorate of Luzon accused Piero of murder, smuggling, black eating black, theft, robbery, and forced women......
A total of 12 charges were convicted, and the punishment for several crimes was combined, and the sentence was split......
Do you have any other opinions from the jury?
” "Nope."
"Of course not."
"I have no opinion."
"Passing ......" “……” Soon, the 60 jurors unanimously passed the resolution, but Li Zhen was very dissatisfied: "I said can you act like a little bit?
How can all 60 people pass?
Is there no objection to it?
Forget it this time, you can't do it next time, some people in the province still say that we will open a hall. ” "......
"Sixty juries are ashamed, you are the prince, who dares to object to your words?"
Don't you understand that this is against you?
Besides, it's true, but you're probably a little too blatant, aren't you?
And this in front of so many people.
"Okay, now that everyone agrees, why don't you enforce it?
As for your ......" looked at Piero, Li Zhen said solemnly: "You can rest assured, this matter is not so easy to end, even if you die, we will help you collect evidence that there is no crime, if it is finally verified that you are really guilty to death, this palace will naturally be responsible to the end." ” "You're kidding us?"
At this time, if Piero still didn't understand what he had experienced, then he would really be an idiot, and glared at Li Zhen angrily: "Shi Ke can not be humiliated, you are a dignified prince, you actually play a dying person, what about your so-called Ming Jun demeanor?"
I think you're a scoundrel, more rogue than a rascal. ” As for sin not unto death?
Are you kidding?
Although Piero is a smuggler, he has a lot of appointments in his hands, and any investigation can find out the evidence of his crimes, where can there be a chance to overturn the case?
Even he knows this very well, and the so-called reversal of the case is just a comfort.
Li Zhen smiled: "What kind of Mingjun demeanor, it was just imposed on this palace by others, and this palace itself has not admitted it, not to mention that what this palace said is true, as long as you can show evidence that you have not committed a crime, this palace will naturally let you go - but can't you take it out?"
There is no way but to dispose of you according to the law......
Fang bereavement, isn't it still implemented?
” "Yes, come on, pull the criminal Piero out to the officer, and the car will be split."
"Yes."
Immediately, two samurai dragged Piero out to prepare for the execution, but this man was tough enough not to utter a word of begging for mercy until now.
"By the way, the execution location should be placed at the downtown entrance of Area 4, so that everyone can watch it together."
"My subordinates understood."
"Alright, go ahead."
"Yes, continue the trial."
Fang Yiai shouted: "Bring the weapon Wang Tie Zhiwen." ” "Whoa!"
The trial continues, anyway, those who can appear here today have human lives on their hands, no matter what their crimes are, they will inevitably be stabbed in the end, so Fang Yuai's trial is a little sloppy, but because of the jury, it can also go through the procedure, and I am not afraid of what someone will say afterwards.
