Chapter 83 I speak for you

At this time, A Yun was already in despair. He just lowered his head and thought that he was so miserable at such a young age that he couldn't help crying.

Li Shen said, "What Si Mashu said is very true. According to Lv Ayun, do you have any different opinions?"

There was a sigh in the jury, and some people said, "What is the jury doing in such a clear case?"

More women sighed, "No, look, how can this weak woman like A Yun kill her husband? There must be a secret in it."

"Mr. Ouyang, what do you think of this?" Zhao Yu asked Ouyang Xiu in a low voice,

Ouyang Xiu frowned and twisted his beard with his hand: "No, if I remember correctly, the emperor once had an edict, saying: Murder has been hurt, according to the question, turn yourself in, from murder minus second class." He looked at Zhao Yu. Isn't it obvious that there is a difference between the criminal law and the imperial edict?

Zhao Yu looked at the lobby. Xu Zun, the person who resolutely commuted A Yun's sentence, had to be silent because of his current status as an official of Dali Temple. There was another person standing in the same camp with Xu Zun. That person was Wang Anshi, but Wang Anshi did not come today.

It seems that today's overall situation has come, although the appearance of A Yun has somewhat surprised everyone present,

Suddenly, a loud voice came from behind the jury: "Slow, this case is still controversial. I'm here to speak for A Yun."

"Brother Wang." Zhao Yu couldn't help shouting in a low voice and turned his head along the voice. Wang was walking towards the lobby of Kaifeng Mansion with his head held high.

"Isn't that next to the king?"

The people outside Kaifeng Mansion and some of the people watching the trial outside the lobby also recognized the king of Zhennan,

"Oh, it's a good show. The prince hasn't appeared for a long time. Every time he appears, it will be refreshing."

"Do you hear me? He said he spoke for A Yun. What is an endorsement?"

"Idiot, instead of speaking, I said, there must be an inside story in this case, otherwise I can't be convicted for so long."

Of course, Wang heard these comments around him, but he didn't stop. If only the matter was as simple as the grievance or inside story of the case,

It seems that this is just an ordinary case, but the time of this case is too coincidental. It happens that when Wang Anshi is preparing for change, Wang Anshi wants to realize his legal view that "courtesy can't be used by common people without using it, and punishment can't be done by doctors without giving" through A Yun's case. This is a kind of feudal etiquette society. Progressed, he became a representative who actively advocated the change of the law in the future, and what Sima Guang adhered to and adhered to was a legal concept of "extra eloquence, impoliteness; where the courtesy goes, the punishment is taken". "courtesy" is the cornerstone of his argument, which implements the basic spirit of the combination of etiquette and etiquette in the feudal etiquette society, and has become Wang Anshi is an active defender of the opposing old-fashioned ideas. Judging from the differences in legal concepts between the two sides, it is not surprising that such a very ordinary criminal case as the A Yun case has caused a year-long debate in the court and aroused such a big wave.

And for Wang Fanglai, he is not only helping Wang Anshi, but also helping Zhao Yu. Between the law and the imperial edict, if it is changed day and night, it will become impossible to follow. Of course, for the current Wang Fanglai, he will not let go of any opportunity to let the people participate in and help change the law.

Yesterday, Wang Bian and Xu Zun returned to Wang Anshi's house. When Xu Zun told them the story of the case and why he wanted to fight for A Yun's chance to live. After listening to it, Wang Bian was a little touched, but Wang Anshi could not come forward about these A Yun's affairs. Of course, Wang Bian remembers the scene when Wang Anshi gave him those books just now. He must be busy with the Development and Reform Department these days. Wang Anshi and Ben didn't have much preparation.

I promised. Tomorrow I will come to defend A Yun. I said goodbye to my father and Xu Zun. Wang went to Kaifeng Mansion. Now A Yun has been transferred to the prison of Kaifeng Mansion.

bi an

The king of the palace is often in and out, but the king of death row is the first time to come. The stone at the door of the cell is ferocious, followed by a yaman. The king enters the prison. In the dark and wet cell, there are three or four criminals in each room. Some look at the king with slanted eyes, and some quietly use stones on the wall. What's scratching on the head? These are all relatively light crimes. A prisoner who can go out in a few days,

Going further, there are more big cases. There are only two people in a cage at most. Some of these people looked at the king numbly, and some of the people who grabbed the cage shouted, "Sir, I'm wronged." Some even stretched out their hands from the cracks, trying to touch the clothes next to the king and the jade on their bodies. The light of nostalgia, admiration, and greed flowed from their eyes,

Finally, I finally came to the death row prisoner. There was a moldy sour smell, mixed with the bad smell of spoiled food. There were hemp ropes, wooden box, shackles, locks, shackles and other torture tools hanging on the wall. There was a box in the cage of the big prison. There was a person sitting, looking up at the wall motionless in a daze,

"This is A Yun."

"Open the prison door."

"Yes."

The girl was still motionless, and the king was a little strange. He turned around and walked to A Yun. The follow-up jailer carried a lantern and lit up the cell.

"A Yun, someone came to see you." The jailer did not dare to tell A Yun the identity of the king, which was also explained by the king,

A Yun turned her head warmly, and the light shone on her face. The only thing Wang saw was a pair of confused and helpless eyes,

"You, you are A Yun."

A Yun nodded gently: "You are."

"I'm here to help you file a lawsuit."

"Help me file a lawsuit." A Yun was a little surprised. For so long, except for the magistrate Li Zun, no one has heard what he said, and no one can speak for himself.

Until I saw A Yun, Wang's thoughts changed. A Yun's case is not only to help his father win the dispute between the old and new laws, but more importantly, a fair punishment should be given to A Yun here.

A Yun was kneeling there in the middle of the lobby. Wang's mind could not forget A Yun's innocent and bright eyes when he looked at him all night.

"Who is coming?" Li Shen asked,

"My name is Wang Pang, and I'm A Yun's defender."

"What is your relationship with the criminal?"

"It doesn't matter."

After Wang said, Zhao Yu and Ouyang Xiu couldn't help laughing silently,

Sima Guang said, "What, does the prince also want to intervene in this case?"

The jury suddenly buzzed: "This is the prince, this is next to the king, the Meyer mansion, the Jinxiang mansion, and the king of Jinxiu Tower."

"They haven't done that for a long time. Now they are abandoning business and entering politics. You don't know that Yongzhou has changed a lot after he went."

In the crowd outside the lobby, Concubine De looked at the king passing by. Just now, her eyes lit up. She heard a lot of Wang's name, but she didn't expect it to be so powerful and handsome. At this time, she was really a little jealous of A Yun, who knelt in the hall.

"Concubine De, do you see that this is next to the king."

"Hmm." Concubine De hummed. There seemed to be something magnetic next to the king, which attracted her attention. It was not only her, but also the people around her who seemed to look at the bright surroundings of the king. This was the highlight in the whole lobby of Kaifeng Mansion,

Wang arched his hand to Sima Guang and everyone: "I made this proposal for the public trial. Of course, I will come, and for the sake of the public trial and the jury here to make a more fair judgment, I will make an endorsement for A Yun."

Sima Guang shook his head, "Song Xinglu" black and white characters, so the sentence is clearly written, it depends on how you defend,

"Next to the king, you can start." Li Shen said,

"Li Sanzheng, before I start, I want a few people to go to the lobby together."

"You said it."

"This case is A Yun's injury case. Since A Yun was awarded the murder of her own husband, the victim should be invited."

Li Shen nodded: "Bring the victim of this case, Wei Da."

As soon as the words fell, the Yafu, who had been prepared for a long time, took Wei Da to the lobby. Looking at Wei Da, many people had deeper doubts. This Wei Da was about 35 or 36 years old, seven feet tall, tall, but very ugly. Such a big man, standing next to A Yun, the contrast immediately appeared. It's out,

"Wei Da, do you know this person?" Wang pointed to A Yun and asked Wei Da,

When Wei Da saw A Yun's description of being haggard, he scolded in his heart and dared not show anything on his face: "I know, she is my fiancee. She wants to kill me."

"Again, who is she?"

Wei Da scratched his head. He was right. This is his daughter-in-law who exchanged several stones of grain. The bride price was given, but she didn't have time to hold a banquet. Unexpectedly, this little girl ran to her own farm and was cruel while she was asleep.

"She is my unfinished daughter-in-law." Wei Da repeated it again,

"Since you haven't passed the door, why do you say that he is your daughter-in-law?"

"She, her family accepted my bride price, and of course she gave it to me."

Wang side smiled. He smiled very easily and turned to Li Shen and said, "Li Shenzheng, I have finished asking this person. I still have someone to ask. Now I want to ask A Yun's family, that is, the people who promised her to Wei Da."

"It is said that A Yun's uncle and aunt."

A pair of middle-aged women were brought up. My aunt stared at A Yun fiercely. Hearing her relatives coming, A Yun looked at her uncle. My uncle quickly lowered his head and did not look at A Yun. A Yun became more and more sad, but at this time she stopped crying,

"I'm here to ask you, A Yun denied giving it to Wei Da"

"Exactly."

"Then why do you only get married, but don't let A Yun pass through the door?"

A Yun's uncle lowered his head deeper and seemed to be unwilling to answer this question at all. His aunt said, "Just because A Yun's mother died not long ago, so..."

"Speak louder, say it again" The king seemed to feel that everyone didn't hear it clearly,

"Because A Yun's mother died not long ago."

"So, it's you two elders who sold A Yun to Wei Da during A Yun's funeral."

"Buzz." The inside and outside of the lobby of Kaifeng Mansion suddenly exploded. It was not only the spectators, but also the jury, and even the officials of the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Criminal Justice who heard the trial could not sit still and talked about it one after another.
