Great Lawyer

Chapter 197 Two Cities One Case ([-])

What she has to do today is not to let He Cheng admit her, what she has to do is to get a chance, a chance for the three divisions to interrogate!

Get out of Baoqing, go to the capital, let those who can decide the life and death of a mortal with a single sentence, see this case and see Ma Yuniang.

Then, their chances of winning will be even greater.

"My lord, there are thousands of men in this world, but not all men think that women are insignificant. There are also those who love women and treat them respectfully." Du Jiuyan cupped his hands and said, "In this world, there are also those who are born Just a woman who is superior to others, a woman who looks down on the world above ten thousand people."

"There are people who understand and judge."

"As for who it is, the students don't dare to guess. Simply hand over this case, and let the emperor, the adults in Beijing, and the people of the world judge it!"

"Mr. Ma is guilty, what should be the guilt?" Du Jiuyan said: "Master Wu, Mr. He and everyone, please wait together, don't make a conclusion early."

"If people in the world still think that Mrs. Ma's crime should be Ling Chi after knowing the facts of this case, then both Mrs. Ma and her family will be convinced." After Du Jiuyan finished speaking, he saluted.

The members of the Ma family behind her also saluted, and said in unison: "Please, some adults, extrajudicially show mercy and send the files to Beijing."

He Cheng didn't like Du Jiuyan. He thought that as a litigator, Du Jiuyan's defense in this court was out of the law, and he was trying to win sympathy throughout the whole process, and he had no standard at all.

"My officer..." He Cheng opened his mouth, Wu Dianyin raised his hand to interrupt him, and said to Du Jiu: "Mr. Du is right, just like what you said."

He Cheng's face suddenly changed, and before he could speak, Master Wu continued: "Scribe Miao, I order you to sort out the files quickly, and hand them over to me in person tomorrow morning."

The Miao scribe should be, and he glanced at Du Jiuyan.I was moved and excited in my heart, Du Jiuyan won, this case was a guilty plea, and the whole process was based on emotion, but she was able to do this...he had never seen it before.

Du Jiuyan, it really is Du Jiuyan!

No litigator in the world can match him.

"Thank you, Mr. Wu." Du Jiuyan no longer looked at He Cheng. He was narrow-minded and unworthy of her respect and association.

"Take good care of your body." She squatted in front of Ma Yuniang, looking at her with a smile, "Even if you fail, you can just maintain your current state, but what if you are pardoned?"

Ma Yuniang looked at Du Jiuyan in shock, her hands trembling violently, tears quickly gathered in her eyes, and after a long time she said, "Thank you!"

"Jin Xiu said that the sauced elbow you made is very delicious, and my son likes it very much. We will wait for you outside, so that my son and I can have a chance to taste Madam's cooking." Du Jiuyan said with a smile: "Ma'am, take care!"

"Okay, okay." Ma Yuniang nodded, her tears fell heavily on the ground like raindrops blown by the wind, "I, take care!"

Du Jiuyan nodded.

"Take Ma Yuniang down and leave the hall!" He Cheng said, and he couldn't wait to hand in hand with Wu Dianyin, "My lord, take a step to speak."

Wu Dianyin went to the back hall, and before He Cheng could ask, he had already said: "The inside story of the law, although Li Zhi is dead, the evil he committed is still there. After this case, I will report all his actions to the heavens. walk."

Wu Dianyin had Wu Dianyin's considerations. Through this incident, he reported all of Li Zhi's crimes, and even added some other people's affairs to Li Zhi.

To settle the account together, so as not to expose the matter, he will inevitably be responsible for negligence.

"But my lord." He Cheng said: "It's just a woman, why..."

Wu Dianyin narrowed his eyes immediately, looked at He Cheng with displeasure, and reprimanded in a low voice: "He Cheng, please pay attention to your words, it's fine with things and people, but if you keep saying these words on your lips, If you make a big mistake at that time, don't blame me for not reminding you."

He Cheng was startled, and suddenly thought of the Queen Mother.The queen mother is also "a woman".

It turns out that Du Jiuyan asked him to report the case intact, betting on the mind of the Queen Mother, who is also a woman like Ma Shi?
"Your Excellency reprimanded you." He Cheng stopped talking and sent Wu Dianyin and his party out from behind. He glanced at the yamen hall again. Du Jiuyan was still there, and he left in a huff.

Du Jiuyan was explaining to Li Mingzhu and others, "Now rebury Qiao's mother's coffin and do a few more religious ceremonies."

"Okay." Li Mingzhu nodded, Fan Anyi answered, and said in a low voice, "Mr. Du, are we just waiting now?"

Du Jiuyan replied, "We'll talk about it when we go back."

"Okay!" Fan Anyi agreed, leading everyone to carry the coffin, and slowly left the yamen.

The people outside did not disperse, and they all made way silently. On the crowded street, there was no sound. Mother Qiao's coffin passed through the crowd. Suddenly, someone stretched out her hand and whispered "I'm here to help you."

"I come."

"I come."

"I'll help you back."

For a moment, Mother Qiao's coffin was lifted up, carried on the shoulders of more than a dozen people, and passed through Baoqing City high.A month ago, after Qiao's mother died, although she was buried with her, she was still buried hastily outside the city in a thin coffin. No one sent her to the end, no one mourned her, and she disappeared from this world without a sound.

But today is different, so many hands support her, let her be upright, don't have to be afraid of anything, and go to a place where there is no abuse and fear.

"Thank you!" Jin Xiu and the others knelt behind the crowd and kowtowed, "Thank you everyone."

"Thank you."

Several women helped them up, and said with a choked voice, "They are all poor people. Once a person dies, the debts of this life will be settled. In the next life, she will definitely be reborn into a wealthy family, and she will live in prosperity and wealth for a lifetime without worrying about food and clothing."

As the coffin moved away little by little, Du Jiuyan sighed deeply.A woman came over and looked at her expectantly, "Mr. Du, Mrs. Ma...will you be all right?"

Du Jiuyan replied with a smile: "Do your best to obey the destiny."

"Mr. Du, you...do you really think Mrs. Ma deserves to die for his crime?" Another woman came over and asked in a low voice.

Du Jiuyan nodded and said, "That's right. The crime is not worthy of death."

"But He Cheng said that a woman's life is cheap, even if her husband beats and scolds her, she should be patient and obedient. Is...is that so?"

Du Jiuyan looked at the woman who spoke. She was 30 years old, very thin, her hair was not combed neatly, and she looked in a daze.She paused and said to the other party: "No, no one's life in this world is cheap!"

The woman's eyes lit up, she nodded, and kept saying: "Yes, yes, yes." Hehe laughed, saluted Du Jiuyan, and said, "Mr. Du, thank you."

"Mr. Du, are you still in Baoqing these days?"

Du Jiuyan said: "Go back the day after tomorrow and wait for news from the capital."

"Mr. Du, which inn are you staying in? Can we...can we find you?"

"Mr. Du." Suddenly a man rushed over, looked at her and cried, "Mr. Du, that Mr. Li is too beastly. I... can I pick up his body tonight and scatter his bones and ashes?"

Du Jiuyan looked around: "Who is talking, I can't hear it, there are too many people, and I don't know who said it."

The man who spoke understood immediately, nodded with a smile, and beckoned his brother to dig the grave.

That night, Li Zhi, who had already been buried, had his grave dug up, his body flogged, his flesh cut up and thrown into a stinking ditch.

Even a few doors in He Cheng's mansion were poured with feces, the stench was unbearable!
He Cheng stood angrily on the street, trembling all over.

Bao Qing, who suppressed his curiosity and waited for the result, appeared to be calm on the surface, but seven days later, the capital city was like a pan of oil pouring into cold water... After the reexamination file was read by everyone in the Ministry of Justice, they were divided into two factions.

A small group of people, after knowing the whole story, felt that although Ma Yuniang had committed the crime of murder, it was justifiable and she deserved to die.

Most of them believe that the law is the law, and no matter how heinous Li Zhi is, Ma Yuniang should not end his life.

Guo Ting received a letter from Baoqing. The letter was written by Du Jiuyan himself, detailing the situation during the retrial that day and telling Guo Ting what he should do next.

"Qiao Ling." Guo Ting put away the letter, "You follow me out."

"What are you doing, my lord?"

"Paper kites," Guo Ting said.

On the morning of October [-]th, Zhao Yu sat on the dragon chair as usual and listened to the reports from various ministries. Qian Shilang, who was in charge of Huguang Road in the criminal department, came out, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, Ma Yuniang of Baoqing Mansion killed Li Zhi The case has been retried, and the file has been sent to the Weichen."

Zhao Yu remembered that King Gui was very concerned about this case, so he asked, "Well, what's the result of the retrial? Is there a new conclusion?"

"Yes! The litigator in this case, Du Jiuyan, requested the imperial court to sentence Ma Yuniang to [-] floggings and pay ten taels of silver." Qian Shilang said.

Zhao Yu was stunned, and all the officials below immediately asked: "To kill a person, thirty strokes of the cane, this... killing a cow is even heavier than this sentence, this... this is simply a joke."

"Let's take a look." After Zhao Yu finished speaking, Xue pressed down to take the file and presented it to him.Zhao Yu glanced ten lines at first, and then turned his head to look carefully. After a long time, he raised his head and said with frowned, "Why are these things not seen in the case in front?"

He Cheng's case was full of criticisms of Ma Yuniang's treason and immorality, but did not mention Ma Yuniang's motive for the murder and the grievances between the husband and wife.

"Magistrate He probably felt that these had nothing to do with Ma Yuniang's murder and would not affect the outcome of the case, so he didn't go into details." Qian Shilang said.

Zhao Yu was about to speak, when suddenly the guards outside the palace came in to report, and said, "My lord, the delivery lady has appeared outside the gate of the palace."

"What?" Zhao Yu didn't understand, so the guard said it again. He got up and said, "Go out and have a look."

So he took the lead out of the palace gate, stood outside the tall Jinluan Temple, and saw the concubine maiden slowly floating in the air at a glance...

"Who did this?" Zhao Yu frowned, and ordered: "I don't know where the Taoist priests are, pretending to be gods and ghosts, and quickly captured people."

The guards went accordingly, and when they went out of the palace gate, they saw many people bowing down on the street, saying that the concubine had appeared. Several guards followed the direction of the statue of the concubine, and suddenly they heard a commotion, and they looked up. Seeing that the goddess in the air was on fire, it turned into ashes and smoke in an instant, and disappeared from everyone's sight.

"This...what's the matter."

"The lady who sent the child was angry. Because Baoqing recently had a case. After a wife suffered from beatings, she couldn't bear to kill her husband who was an official. The county magistrate over there sentenced his wife to be Ling Chi. Warn women in the world, even if you are beaten, you should bear it, because women's lives are cheap!"

What the speaker said in the crowd was heard by countless people on all sides, which immediately caused a great uproar.

"Women's lives are cheap? You can say this well. His ancestors didn't have women, so he can still have him as a dog official!"

"That's right. Being beaten every day, who doesn't resist?"

For a while, after the statue of the Empress Sending Children was burned, such a person walked through the streets and alleys, and then disappeared after speaking.

"So, the empress is angry!" Everyone said: "The self-immolation portrait is a warning to us."

In just a moment, Yanjing was full of rumors. In the imperial city, after listening to the report, Zhao Yu glanced at the file in his hand, his eyes contemplative.
