Chapter 557 The Art of Throwing the Pot

two hours ago.

Before the justices voted, there would be a communication time. Apart from an old-fashioned telephone, there was no tool for external communication in this room.

The judges sat there one by one, their faces were very ugly.

The evaluation of the votes of the Imperial Supreme Court has gradually declined over the years, especially after the economic crisis and the emergence of several judgments.

Victims of financial fraud took their cases to the Supreme Court. Everyone knew how shameless those bankers were, but the chief judge could only rule that the bankers were not guilty of their actions. The chief judge had extremely high authority, but We must also do things within the framework of the law. Even when several justices were chatting in private, they said they were really screwed.

So, what about Zhou Huan’s vote today?
In fact, everyone knows very well that whether it is four to five or five to four, the reputation of the Supreme Court will be completely lost. If he is guilty, Zhou Huan will definitely lift the table and slap everyone in the face. If he is not guilty, , so the clear and clear evidence is there, are you blind, have you not seen these things?

"I have a suggestion, I hope everyone will listen to it."

Justice Luo Lin raised his hand. As the oldest and most prestigious justice, everyone was convinced by him.

"These days, I often read a piece of history. It was 300 years ago, when Chen Yunying killed three great Confucians and many other Confucian scholars."

No one interrupted. Justice Luo Lin had a reason for mentioning this period of history.

"After Chen Yunying entered Beijing, a bloody massacre began. Many officials were killed. Of course, many innocent people were also involved. Law enforcement agencies such as Dali Temple and Jingzhao Yin kept signing execution orders. Three A highly respected scholar and their relatives and friends were also involved, and even civilians in the capital came to their door to plead for mercy, saying that their children were really innocent and so on."

The justices are all proficient in history and are deeply impressed by that story. For example, in a certain yamen, from top to bottom, even the gatekeepers were beheaded. How could there be no innocent people among them?

Forced by the situation, the three great Confucians had to stand up, just like us now, we represent the law, we must vote on this case, and then decide whether Mr. Zhou Huan Zhou is guilty or not.

But folks, what is the outcome of our vote? "

Justice Rollin shook his head.

"Whether it's five to four or four to five, the reputation of the Supreme Court will be completely lost. I'm not afraid of death, and I'm not afraid of Zhou Huan overturning the table, but what's the use? It's just giving those people an advantage."

Everyone knows who those people are referring to. In the era of Murong Jiu, Helen and others, the families, officials and rich people who were doing business in a stable and stable manner, when the mountains above their heads disappeared, they immediately started to go their separate ways. performance.

"As for the three great scholars, because of their extremely high reputations, everyone wanted to take advantage of them. Some of Chen Yunying's subordinates also wanted to overthrow them, using the illegal behavior of their disciples to make them disgraced. They were on the verge of being ruined. The three Da Ru took the initiative to die, took some of his incompetent disciples with him, and secretly sent a pardon list to Chen Yunying in advance.

Chen Yunying could control people, but he could not control those who sought death. Chen Yunying killed three great Confucians, as well as those drunkards, those who were ignorant of flexibility, those with evil intentions, etc. in the Confucian sect. The three great Confucians became martyrs. Chen Yunying After killing people, he ordered them to be buried properly, pardoned a group of people, and everything was happy. "

"Lao Luo, what do you mean by this?"

"It's very simple. No matter what the result of this vote is, we are all laughing stock, and those who voted guilty will be killed by Zhou Huan. Which of you would like to die meaninglessly?"

Luo Lin's eyes swept across several justices.

"Five people are dead, and the remaining four are alive. What about their reputation? It's no different from being dead!"

In fact, the ratio of five to four has been decided by default, and the justices are more inclined to make themselves five.

We are all 80 or [-] years old. Death is very scary, but there are things that are more terrifying than death. When all your companions have sacrificed their lives, but you are still alive because of betrayal, anyone with any sense of shame will be ashamed.

"I propose that everyone vote guilty. The evidence fully proves that Zhou Huan is guilty. Why can't we act in accordance with the law?"

"But……"

One of the justices muttered...

"No, Justice Luo Lin is right. He gave us a new way of thinking. Thank you, Luo Lin."

The other justice stood up suddenly. He laughed and hugged Justice Luo Lin.

"It's a pleasure to work with you, my friend."

The other justice had a dark face and looked at Justice Luo Lin coldly, wishing he could eat him alive.

Soon, the justices all understood Luo Lin's thoughts, and they all had different expressions.

"I have decided, and Lao Li has also decided to do this. The rest is up to you."...

Chen Yaoxian stared blankly at the voting results of the justices, not knowing what to do.

How could it be nine to zero?It's just...

Are they crazy?
Then, Justice Rolling's gavel woke everyone up. He was going to make a speech on the vote. This was also the key point, showing the reasons and attitudes of the justices for voting.

Listen to it, and hear if they can spit out any dog ​​teeth from their dog mouths.

"Today is a special day, and the voting results are beyond everyone's expectations, so the closing arguments will be very different from those in the past."

Justice Luo Lin smiled and nodded at Zhou Huan. Chen Yaoxian noticed that Zhou Huan just sighed and shook his head helplessly.

"During these days, the Supreme Court's voting on several economic cases has caused great controversy. Those bankers and financiers are known to have committed crimes, but the law acquitted them. "

Chen Yaoxian has a big mouth. How can Justice Luo Lin say this?
Ordinary people can make comments at will, but government officials, especially people like the justice, cannot say this at all. Justice Luo Lin's words can get him into countless troubles.

"When we reviewed those cases, we tried our best to give the public a satisfactory answer. The people worked hard, put their savings in the bank, and put them into those people's promises, and then they were wiped out. , they can continue to live and drink and be complacent, which is unreasonable from any point of view.

As for Mr. Zhou Huan, he has always been law-abiding and kind to others. Although the Black Continent accidentally injured innocent people, it was to save more people. The situation was critical at that time, and millions of people in the empire saved their lives because of him.

But from a legal point of view, he broke the law, and the reason for filing the lawsuit was not because of the law, but because he wanted to prevent Mr. Zhou from becoming president, or to make political deals with Mr. Zhou in advance.

Well, congratulations to them, their plot has succeeded, and Mr. Zhou will lose his presidential candidacy and bear criminal responsibility. "

The scene was completely silent, and I didn’t know what the justice meant when he said these words.

“The empire’s economic crisis has lasted for more than three years, and we have witnessed too much injustice and darkness. My colleagues and I have tried our best to reverse it, but to no avail.

Someone once said that if a group of people work hard to abide by the law, study and work hard, but still cannot change their personal destiny, then it is a problem with the system. Now, the obvious mistakes are placed in front of us, but it has become For examples of people who obey the law, we have to hold our noses and admit it. What does this mean? It shows that there is a problem with the law. "

Justice Luo Lin took off his judge's hat and said to the people present.

"I resign as justice from today, and as a civilian, I find Mr. Zhou Huan innocent."

"Pooh!"

Chen Yaoxian cursed in his heart, what's the point of you resigning from the position of chief judge and then adjudicating Zhou Huan's innocence as a commoner?
"Mr. Zhou, I was wrong. I'm sorry. Goodbye."

Justice Luo Lin lowered his head and bowed deeply towards Zhou Huan. Then, a wisp of blood appeared on the corner of his mouth. Justice Luo Lin committed suicide with his heart broken.

More than 40 years ago, he buried his girlfriend's body and left a place for himself next to her. He had never hated Zhou Huan, he just hated him.

Your Majesty, you want to rebel?Come on, Weichen, in order to draw up the imperial edict, hurry up and ascend to heaven on a rocket.

The problem was solved. The nine justices unanimously ruled guilty based on solid evidence and upheld the dignity of the law. Then, Justice Luo Lin died to prove his pursuit and persistence of justice, leaving Zhou Huan helpless. There is something to be said.

"I will resign as justice from today on. I agree with Justice Rollin's speech."

The other justice stood up and took off his judge's hat. Without saying anything, he directly broke his heart.

"Dear friends, it is a pleasure to work with you."

The third justice stood up, hugged the justice next to him, took off his judge's hat, and began to make his speech.

Zhou Huan and the big capitalists raised by xx, don’t you want to see the joke of our Supreme Court? Don’t you want to discredit us to become a ** weapon?Aren't you pushing us to a dead end, making us unable to get up or down?
Is it okay for me to die?I have maintained my reputation, I have maintained the dignity of the law, I am 80 years old, what do I care?
He does not have as much internal strength as the first two judges, but Justice Luo Lin thoughtfully prepared capsules for everyone.

And the bitchy Justice Luo Lin, I will not let you go even if I die. After you commit suicide, what will other people do?Do you want to see your name go down in history?I do want to live, but I don’t want to be scolded!

Pooh!If you want to die, let's all die together!Nine justices committed suicide together. What a spectacular scene!
His body slumped in his chair, and the fourth justice stood up.
