The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

Xu Ci shouted in the lobby of Dali Temple that the fan was a fake, and the plaintiff's lawyer said "Oh—" "That's a fake, ah."

The crowd was noisy, and the plaintiff's face was ashen.Grandpa Chen scolded: "Trash! Trash!" Xu Ci knew he had been duped, angry and regretful, he stumbled.

The plaintiff litigator made a group bow to the people below, then turned to Roman and said, "Lord Luo, I request that four witnesses come to court."

"approve."

I saw four people coming out from behind, all of them were dressed as merchants.Roman asked who they were.They turned out to be the shopkeepers of several big antique shops in the capital.Xu Ci suddenly slumped on the chair as if he had been cramped.The plaintiff held a fan and asked the witness, "Excuse me four, do you recognize this fan?"

All four said "recognized." "Twelve days ago, someone brought it to the small shop to ask for advice, and he looked very anxious." "The villain looked at it for a long time and told him that this fan is really well made, but it's a pity that it's a fake." The villain knew it was a fake after just a few glances, and it was imitated by today's people." "The villain can tell it at a glance." "The villain also said that although it is a fake, few people can spot it. Mr. lost in the hands of the master , It is not wrong to lose."

"Do you still remember the four people who took the fan for advice?"

"Of course I remember." "There are not many fakes that are so well made, so I remember them very clearly."

"Is he above the main hall of Dali Temple?"

"exist."

"Please point out the four."

The four of them pointed at Xu Ci in unison: "This is Mr. Xu."

Roman nodded: "Defendant and plaintiff, do you have any objections to the witnesses and evidence provided by the plaintiff?"

Xu Ci said nothing.The plaintiff argued strongly: "A counterfeit fan, perhaps Xu Sanye bought it from outside? How can it be that it was given by a nobleman?"

The plaintiff litigator wondered: "Oh~~Since you just bought a fake ancient fan by mistake, why did Mr. Xu refuse to admit it?"

Someone below shouted: "How shameless! The more educated people are, the more shameless they are."

The plaintiff litigator hurriedly said: "This gentleman, don't accidentally hurt the innocent. I have also studied, but I have to lose face." Some people laughed.

The accused lawyer really didn't have much skill, so he didn't know how to deal with it.A Confucian scholar stood up behind him: "Lord Luo, the late student has a pen, which can distinguish right from wrong."

Roman sullenly said, "Please read, sir."

The Confucian scholar coughed, took out an article from his pocket, put on his glasses again, shook his head and began to read. "Husband's "Book of Rites" says that a woman does not come out for ten years, and the mother teaches the childbirth to obey..."

The group of masters and masters behind Xu Ci shook their heads, and the audience below were at a loss.The talkative person in front couldn't help whispering to the person on the other side: "What is this old man talking about?"

The man said: "I don't know either!"

Someone shouted: "Can you speak human language!"

"Yes! Speak in human language! We are not monks, so we don't know how to read scriptures!"

Roman slapped the gavel: "Silence!" Everyone shut up.

The Confucian scholar's article is quite long.While reading, some people were almost falling asleep, and he was still twirling his beard triumphantly.At the end there is a paragraph of four or six parallel prose, which the Confucian scholar stretched out his arms and gestured in the air while reading.Someone below complained loudly: "There is no end! It's more noisy than bees."

The Confucian student was disturbed at his pride, and glared angrily at the servant.At this glance, Fang Fang noticed that the listeners' eyes were loose and their expressions were dull, and almost no one understood the beauty of the article, so he couldn't help but annoyed: "Playing the piano to the cow!"

The plaintiff litigator on the opposite side immediately said: "No! The defendant insulted the people watching."

Roman said loudly: "The objection is valid. I have warned the defendant that if he insults the people again, he will be expelled from the court hall."

The Confucian scholar stumbled and wanted to swear something polite, but the accused lawyer waved his hands vigorously: "Sir! Master Luo has warned you!"

The Confucian scholar suppressed his anger, and recited the remaining sentences of the parallel prose with great enthusiasm.Lin Daiyu smiled and said to Zhan Kun in a low voice: "Let Cong'er talk again."

Zhan Kun asked in a low voice, "What?"

Jia Cong poked his head over: "Sister Lin, why are you complimenting me quietly?"

Lin Daiyu shot him a look: "You said, the writing habit of a literati is extremely hard to change, especially when he is sure that he is right. Even if someone tells him to only write about 'reason and reason', the writer still can't help but add 'law' to it. Go in. Otherwise, he will feel that the article is not complete."

Jia Cong proudly said: "What am I talking about? If they don't give them a godly assist, there will definitely be pig teammates among them. What is more terrifying than pig teammates is the pig teammates who think they are wolf teammates."

Zhan Kun said: "The article is really well written, so people who listened to it haven't noticed it. Otherwise, someone interrupted him just now and didn't allow him to finish reading."

Lin Daiyu said: "After reading it, I'm appointed to praise the meeting."

really.As soon as the Confucian scholars finished reading, the first few people applauded in unison, praising "a wonderful article!" After they finished praising, Roman Fang said solemnly: "Please explain the article just now to this court in plain language—there are many people who don't understand Understood."

As soon as the words fell, the people below started to shout: "I don't understand, I don't understand!" "It's worse than a monk chanting!" "What are you talking about!"

The Confucian scholar said contemptuously: "Of course they don't understand, they are just a group..." Before he could finish speaking, the accused litigator rushed forward and tightly covered his mouth.Everyone knew that he wanted to scold him, so they started booing immediately.

"Crack!" With the sound of the gavel, Roman shouted, "Quiet!" Everyone who heard the trial knew that the minister of Dali Temple was on his side, and all fell silent.Roman said again, "Please explain the article just now to this court in plain language."

If such a gorgeous article is explained in easy-to-understand language, how can it be useful?Confucianism was so angry that he shook his sleeves and left.The accused lawyer stumbled behind.Helpless, I bit the bullet and took the article and read it in a hurry.He had never read this article before.Although Master Chen and the others had no choice but to hire a lawyer, they all looked down on him as a scholar who failed the ranking.After reading ten lines at a glance, the defendant litigator said: "The main purpose of this article is that, in terms of emotion, reason and law, Xu Sanye and Yao's family are not suitable for reconciliation."

Roman frowned: "Emotion, reason and law? How to be emotional, reason and law, please explain."

The plaintiffs have suffered a lot.This article is full of quotations and classics, and there is no way to explain it.Then Elder Chen sneered from behind and said, "Did Master Luo never understand this article?"

Roman said: "I understand it. Since it is a public trial, it is not good to just tell the adults to hear it. It must be told to the people to count. Please explain to the defendant."

Master Chen said: "Since ancient times, when the government tried civil cases, why did the people listen to it?"

Roman said: "Since ancient times, princes have not paid land taxes, but now they have to."

Master Chen choked, and raised his eyes to stare at Lin Daiyu who was sitting in the hall.No matter how beautiful this woman is, in his eyes she is no different from the evil ghost Rakshasa.Coincidentally, he saw his direct son-in-law Jia Cong sitting beside the female prime minister, leaning on the back of the chair leisurely and enjoying tea, so instead of glancing at Lin Daiyu, he glared at Jia Cong instead.Jia Cong didn't notice at all.Grandpa Chen glared at him again, but he still didn't check, and took another sip of tea.

The accused litigator asked in a low voice, "Master Chen, do you have anything else to say?"

Grandpa Chen said angrily: "Explain to these mud legs!"

The plaintiff's lawyer immediately said: "I object. The defendant insulted the people who were watching."

"The objection is valid. I once again warned the defendant that insults and the people will be expelled from the court hall."

Grandpa Chen was so angry that he glared at Jia Cong again.Jia Cong finally noticed this time, looked at his father-in-law and nodded with a slight smile.Grandpa Chen gritted his teeth and shouted at the accused lawyer: "Explain!"

Roman said: "The defendant should not yell at the court, give me a warning."

Mr. Chen was so angry that he took the case to the court, and the defendant hurriedly approached him and said in a low voice: "My Mr.! Do you really want to be kicked out?" Mr. Chen tried his best to suppress his anger and sat down.

The plaintiff looked at the article again, and said bravely: "This article says that Mr. Xu and Yao's husband and wife are in harmony and love each other forever."

Just listen to Yao Jiazhen's leisurely way: "That article is nonsense. Mr. Xu has a very shallow relationship with the little girl, otherwise how could he get a fan and want to divorce his wife?"

The plaintiff just pretended not to hear it, and skipped 'Yu Li' and said directly 'Yu Fa': "Although we can sue for divorce according to the law, there is no circumstance in this case. Therefore, according to the law, if divorce is attempted, divorce cannot be done. in accordance with."

Roman nodded when he heard the words: "That's true. I also filed a divorce petition in the Marriage Law. For example, the wife ran away with her husband, and the husband forced his wife into prostitution, etc. There was no attempt to cling to the powerful and divorce his wife."

There was an uproar immediately.An old man from the defendant said angrily: "Who told him to write this article! It's a bad thing!"

Another said: "This matter has been exposed! Discuss again!"

Who will reveal it?Yao Jiazhen stood up and said with a sneer: "In this way, I, Yao Jiazhen, have been married into Xu's family for more than three years. I am close to my sister-in-law, serve Wenggu, and raise my son. I have never made any mistakes. On the contrary, I have been bullied and humiliated by his Xu family. You are almost divorced without fault, but you can’t file for divorce? Is this law reasonable?”

Immediately below, several loud voices shouted in unison: "Unreasonable! Unreasonable! Unreasonable——"

Someone else shouted: "Unreasonable—unreasonable—unreasonable—"

Everyone is easy to follow the crowd.Seeing the joy of others shouting, not to mention the right and wrong of this case, and the fact that the officials and lords at the top are clearly aware of where they are standing, more people followed suit: "Unreasonable-unreasonable-unreasonable-" Blink Everyone in the eyes shouted, and the voice became louder and louder.

Roman patted the gavel three times: "Silence!" Seeing the smile on his lips, everyone fell silent.Roman stood up and turned to Jia Cong, Lin Daiyu and the others, saying, "My lord, my lord, and my lords. This case is clear and clear, so there is no need to repeat it. It's just that there is no legal basis. There is no way for the lower officials to rule in favor of the plaintiff."

Immediately below, someone shouted: "The law is not fair!"

Immediately, someone shouted, "The law is unfair!"

Everyone shouted in unison: "The law is not fair!"

Jia Cong stood up with his hands behind his back, as if about to speak.Everyone was silent for a moment.Jia Congnai said: "What everyone said is true. My marriage law is really incomplete on this point. However, it cannot be broken just because the marriage law is not complete."

Everyone was stunned.Before loudly arguing, Yao Jiazhen stood up first and said: "In that case, I dare to ask the little girl how to seek justice." Everyone held their breath and listened intently.

Jia Cong smiled and said, "Wait."

Yao Jiazhen said loudly, "What are you waiting for? How long?"

Jia Cong left his seat and took a few steps forward, and said to the people below: "The marriage law is incomplete, even unfair. We have already discovered this problem. But is this the only incomplete marriage law? It's more than that. At least there is another detail in Ms. Yao's case. The husband's family wanted to rob the daughter-in-law's dowry, and the daughter-in-law cut off the food and clothing supply because she refused to give it. Is there anything else besides these two? There must be. I believe I will be there All the fathers and folks can give examples. However, the law is the cornerstone of the country and must not be violated." He paused.The people below could see that he hadn't finished speaking, so they didn't make any noise.Jia Cong didn't get a chance to pretend, so he continued loudly, "However, the law can be, be, amended, be rectified."

"Boom—" There was an uproar below.

Jia Cong had already walked to the front of the three chief judges, picked up Roman's gavel and slapped it, "Crack!" Immediately, like a kite flying into the forest, a hundred birds muted their voices.He said sternly, "Han Zi said that if things are not equal, they will cry. However, things are not absolutely fair, and there are always injustices of one kind or another. Let's take today's case as an example. It is true that the Xu family really treated Ms. Yao unfairly. Let's get to the bottom of it." Why is it unfair? Ladies and gentlemen, it was the mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and sister-in-law in the inner courtyard of Xu's family who were unfair to Ms. Yao first. And Ms. Yao can only endure these injustices, because her husband Xu Ci did not come out to protect her." Jia Cong didn't pretend to be aggressive just now, and suddenly wanted to pretend once, "Who dares to try to be unfair to this king's wife? This king set Sanwei real fire on him and burned him to death!"

"Boom—" There was an uproar again.

Satisfied, Jia Cong patted the gavel again. "It's no wonder that Xu Ci treats Ms. Yao badly. He doesn't like this daughter-in-law at all. Ms. Yao was settled by the Xu family and the Yao family, without consulting Xu Ci himself. Married a daughter-in-law that he doesn't like. Maybe it won't be too bad for her, but if nothing happens, she will definitely not be remembered. If Xu Ci married the one he loves like this king, Grandma Xu might not find fault with that woman—everyone They bully the good and fear the evil." Many people below nodded, and Grandma Xu trembled all over.

"Therefore, there are more than one unjust and unreasonable things in the marriage law. This king announced that he will supplement and amend the marriage law of Yan Kingdom to make it perfect, reasonable and fair, so as to protect the rights and interests of kind and innocent ordinary people. Only in this way can the law be able to avenge the grievances of the people, benefit the people, protect the country and the people, and preserve the country for all generations.”

"Okay!" Someone below shouted and raised their heads to applaud.Immediately there was applause.

Jia Cong looked at Yao Jiazhen with a smile and said, "Ms. Yao, please wait for a while. After the king amends the marriage law, you are welcome to file for divorce."

Yao Jiazhen nodded with a smile: "Okay. I'll wait."

Jia Cong looked down at the people hearing the trial again: "Everyone is welcome to come to the trial again then."

"Okay—" "We will come—" everyone shouted.

Someone in the defendant's camp stood up to speak, but the other sat down.The man whispered: "Don't talk." He sighed and looked at his companion. "Just now what Jia Cong said, did you notice the most important sentence?"

Everyone was at a loss: "Isn't it a reform?"

The man shook his head and sighed again: "To protect the rights and interests of kind and innocent Xun, Chang, Bai, surname."
