Chapter 242: The case of a confused official and a confused official "You, you, you are such a mouthful."
The old man surnamed Liu was trembling with anger.
He pointed at the old woman on the ground and protested loudly to Robben, "Sir, she is just a crazy woman.
Her son jumped into the river and died.
She wants to get out of my husband's house."
I wanted to blackmail a pension fund.
Even though I had a big family and a big business, I still had to have a reason for spending it, so I would never dare to make such an excuse if other unscrupulous people followed suit."
"Pah!"
Luo Ben, who joined the army, slapped the crowd hard and interrupted Mr.
Liu's words.
"That's enough.
Have I asked you to speak?
You are a juror, not the presiding judge.
It's not your turn to stand in for me yet."
"Official decision" Mr.
Su, surnamed Liu, and several other jurors had previously refuted Robben dozens of times, but were not embarrassed by Robben, so he felt a little scornful in his heart.
I feel that the Huai'an army is just like this.
Although it is a little braver, it will still be inseparable from my group of people to govern the place in the future.
But he didn't expect that Robben didn't play according to common sense at all, and immediately fell out when he said he would.
After being shocked, he immediately realized the huge gap between officials and people.
He quickly made a long bow and sat back in his seat with a frown.
"Advisor Liu, is her accusation true?"
Luo Ben, who joined the army, glared at him again, and then turned his attention to the criminal.
"Why do you want to stop Jiangdu County from taking this grandma's case?
Is someone promising you any benefits?"
"Unjustly accused."
Upon hearing this, Liu Tuiguan immediately knelt on the ground and shouted Qu Lai loudly.
"The villain is just a recommendation official.
He has no real power at all.
How dare he interfere in how Jiangdu County resolves the case.
Villain" "You're talking nonsense," the common people who complained refuted in unison, "Who in the entire Yangzhou city doesn't know that you, Liu Bapi, specialize in making money from cases?
If you don't give you money for a small case, you will turn it into a big case of beheading.
The real Jiangyang robber is here.
In the hands of the government, as long as you receive enough benefits, you can be released from your prison and continue to kill people and set fires everywhere."
"You are just talking nonsense!"
Liu Tuiguan glared, showing his composure without anger.
"My officer, I was still in the sixth grade at that time.
How could I care about such trivial matters as asking specific questions?
My officer" "Shut up!"
Luo Ben, who joined the army, felt irritable as he listened to his words.
He slapped the gavel hard and asked loudly, "Don't beat around the bush and be specific.
When this grandma complained, did you ever submit your name card to the county government?"
"This" Liu Tuiguan originally wanted to deny it, but when he saw Luo Ben's face was not kind.
After hesitating for a moment, he responded in a low voice, "At the beginning, it seemed that a post was indeed sent.
But, it was not about the specific trial of the case.

The villain, the villain just felt that at the end of the year, there must be many Unruly people will get into disputes with their employers.
There are thousands of shops and workshops in Yangzhou City, and the end of the year is an important time to collect business taxes, so this behavior cannot be encouraged under any circumstances, otherwise the consequences will be very unpredictable."
"You" joined the army.
Luo Ben was so angry that he gritted his teeth and wanted to jump up and kill Liu Tuiguan with a knife.
This is obviously a case of collusion between government and businessmen to harm the people.
Official Liu must have received bribes from it.
However, this guy actually had the nerve to make a high-sounding excuse, as if not doing so would cause chaos in the world.
While he was indignant, he heard another young citizen crying loudly: "Master Qingtian, don't be fooled by Liu.
He is not doing it for the peace of Yangzhou City.
He is just seeking revenge for his corruption and perversion of the law."
It's just an excuse.
The villain was also a businessman back then, and it was because the white porcelain he made last year was top-notch in Yangzhou.
He accidentally got involved in an unjust lawsuit and was blackmailed again and again by this man named Liu.
In the end, the entire shop and a porcelain kiln outside the city were owned by him.
If he wanted everyone to have a stable year, why would he?
I don’t want to be open to the villain.
It stands to reason that the villain is also the owner of the shop, and the villain also pays money to the government at a fixed time every year."
"Master Qingtian, he is just lying."
Several other victims also spoke up, loudly accusing Liu Tuiguan of his crimes.
"The last time a servant of the grain merchant Lao Qian's family broke my eldest brother's leg on the dock, he was the one who intervened to settle the case.
As a result, my eldest brother's leg was broken in vain, and he had to pay compensation to Lao Qian's family for delaying the shipment of grain. money" "He took a fancy to the villain's house and wanted to pay two hundred dollars to buy it.
The villain's father refused, so he found a habitual thief, surrendered himself, and falsely accused his father of selling the stolen goods.
My poor old father is innocent.
I’ve been pissed off to death by this murderous thing all my life, woo woo, woo woo.”
"He wanted to take the villain's sister as his concubine, but he refused to pay the bride price.
So he colluded with the government and insisted that the villain had ties to the Ming Cult."
The victims cried and said, one after another, each one is outrageous.
Liu Tuiguan kept quibbling and picked himself clean.
Among the jurors, there were also several old men with angry faces, ready to jump up and refute at any time.
Unfortunately, I can't figure out what Robbenloo's approach is, for fear of causing the opponent to suddenly go crazy.
I had to be patient for the time being and wait for the right time.
The presiding judge Robben became angrier and angrier as he listened.
The five fingers of his right hand kept opening and closing under the table.
What he is going to try today is the crimes committed by Zhang Mingjian and others in Yangzhou City more than half a year ago, and has nothing to do with the accusations of the victims.
However, if Liu Wencai is not brought to justice, he will really feel unworthy of his position as the presiding judge.
After thinking about it, I simply changed my mind and shouted loudly, "Okay, I have heard you clearly.
Liu Wencai, you rely on your official skin to bully the good, take plunder, and kill many people.
I If I don’t punish you for seeking money and killing someone today, God will think that I don’t have eyesight, so I’ll drag him down.”
"Wait a minute!"
All the elders did not dare to delay any longer.
They stood up one after another and protested loudly.
"Sir, Manager Zhu said that I will be a jury today."
"Yes, Mr.
Luo, we jurors haven't passed the jury yet."
"Master Luo, you can't go back on your word."

Although there was obvious trembling in his voice, no one fell behind.
This case has nothing to do with justice, but with the rules in Yangzhou City in the future.
These people used to be famous gentry, but the people who complained were just a group of illiterate commoners.
If we give a group of ordinary people a chance to "falsely accuse" the gentry, how can things be done in the future?
"You" Hearing the protests from all the jurors, Robben's face became even more angry.
Obviously, many of these old men had hooked up with Liu Wencai, and now they were determined to protect him.
However, if these elders succeed in their plans, all Manager Zhu's recent arrangements will be in vain.
Not only will the Huai'an army lose the support of the people, but the people who died unjustly may not be able to rest in peace if there are spirits under the spring.
Suddenly, I remembered some of Zhu Bayi's instructions before the trial started.
Luo Ben, who joined the army, gritted his teeth and sneered, "Many of you were involved in the suffering master's cry just now.
According to the rules of my manager Zhu, all those involved must be avoided.
Now, please invite Mr.
Liu, Mr.
Wu, and Mr.
Ren.
Lao Zhan, Lao Zhang Qian, and Lao Zhang Xu stepped aside and gave up their jury seats to people who have nothing to do with this case."
"Ah hum."
The five elders were slightly startled when their names were called, and then angrily threw up their sleeves and left the table.
I have seen confused officials, but I have never seen one as confused as today.
Ruling the world together with the scholar-bureaucrats was a rule set by the Great Patriarch of the Song Dynasty.
Although the Mongols did not explicitly declare that they would comply, in fact, nothing the government can do without the support of local leaders.
Today, a confused official named Luo offended Mr.
Su from Yangzhou City for a few illiterate bumpkins.
A little over half.
Is he here to win people over for Manager Zhu, or is he here to make enemies with the local government on behalf of Manager Zhu?
"Please recommend the five elders who have nothing to do with this case to take their places."
Joining the army, Robben also knew that he might have messed up the matter today, but he had to take action.
He stood up, bowed his hands to the people around him, and said loudly, "Please all the elders nominate five more people to make up thirteen jurors, so that we can convict this man named Liu."
The crowd roared and backed away like a tide.
No one wants to take the lead.
Those who had just been expelled from the jury box by Robben, who joined the army, were not only the original big salt merchants, but also jewelry, grain and ship owners, and even the owner of the tooth shop.
In other words, this was a group of dynamic civil groups in Yangzhou City in the past.
Nowadays, although the family property has been robbed and burned by the rebels, behind everyone, there is a network of connections that is incomparable to ordinary people.
If you really offend them, no one will know how they will die in the future.
"Please ask the elders to nominate five more people, and we will have thirteen jurors.
It's getting late, we have to hurry up."
Seeing the people's hesitation, Luo Ben continued to urge in a friendly manner.
The crowd continued to retreat.
People looked at me and I looked at you, shaking their heads and sighing.
They really want to seek justice for the victims, but they cannot afford the consequences of offending the elders.
As the saying goes, officers and soldiers are like water, while gentry are like stones.
The water is so strong that it can easily swallow up rocks.
But when the water recedes, the stone will still remain in place.
Still suppressed by the surrounding vegetation, unable to get out.
This principle is the same in ancient and modern times.

Ordinary people understand without being taught.
"Let's come, brothers."
Just when Robben was feeling embarrassed, Zhu Chongba took Tang He, Deng Yu, and Wu brothers, separated from the crowd, and strode forward.
"None of our brothers are locals.
We have no interests involved, and we don't know either party."
"OK" to join the army, Robben finally looked forward to a savior and nodded with joy.
"But Zhu has a few words, and I won't be happy if I don't say them."
Zhu Chongba continued to walk towards the jury box, and shouted at all the people of Yangzhou: "You bunch of wimps, Manager Zhu gave you a chance to take revenge, but you actually Pull yourself back.
Where are your balls?
Among the hundreds of thousands of you, do you still have the ability to rely on others for everything?
What are you doing, a bunch of sheep that kill meat for food?
You deserve to be bullied for the rest of your life."
The people were so scolded that sweat broke out on their foreheads and their faces turned red.
No one dared to speak back.
Zhu Chongba was still not satisfied.
He turned around and continued to curse at the jury box and Mr.
Su who had just left the jury box, "And you, five or six of you, are pretending to look good.
What kind of nonsense are you there?
If you have the ability, Yangzhou will be burned That day, I went all out with the rebels.
I don’t even think about how I got the jury seat, but I was so smart that I just opened a dyeing workshop.
Why didn’t I get it done to Zhang Mingjian in the first place?
All the bastards were in despair.
I have to wait for two bowls of porridge every day I'm dying, but I haven't forgotten to bully my neighbors.
You have read those sage books, and you have read that water can carry a boat or overturn it when a dog's belly is gone.
Do you understand that once the people are forced to rebel, just with the help of you stinkers?
Rotten fish and shrimps, whoever gets the good fruit to eat is not you either For those who have never experienced anything, when the fire breaks out, no one will recognize you.
Whether you have more money or less dignity, or whether you have enough dignity, it will burn all the wealth of your family.
It will also destroy your children, wives and families.
Who of you can guarantee your own safety?
