I am a corrupt official, but they say I am a loyal minister

Chapter 208 You Didn't Do It, Why Should They Sue You?

"Dong dong..."

At this time, there was a sound of drumming outside, which meant that someone had come to report the crime.

Lin Beifan is usually not in charge of cases, but he is in a good mood now: "I happen to have time, so let me handle this case!"

Lin Beifan walked to the middle of the yamen lobby, and saw a pretty woman kneeling below, really wearing some shabby clothes, with a very sad expression on her face.

Lin Beifan patted the gavel, and shouted majestically, "Who is in the hall, tell me your name?"

"My lord, Qi Zhang, a daughter of the people, came here from Huzhou to sue the imperial court, and I ask you to make the decision for the daughter of the people!" The other party kowtowed and said pitifully.

Detian Mansion, where Lin Beifan lives, is the political center of Dawu.

It has a very large authority and can undertake complaints from all over the country, which is equivalent to a small criminal department.

The so-called impeachment petitions are generally filed here.

If it can't be solved here, upload it to the Ministry of Criminal Justice and other judicial departments to organize three joint trials.

"Qi Zhang, why are you wronged, tell me quickly!" Lin Beifan said.

"Yes, my lord!" The other party confessed his grievances.

She and her husband used to do small business in Huzhou for a living. Although they lived in poverty, the husband and wife respected each other as guests, and they lived happily.

However, because of his good looks, he was taken by a local Yuanwailang.

The other party threatened and lured, but the husband and wife still refused.

But one day, four masked men smashed their small shop and broke his husband's leg at the same time.

She immediately reported to the government, but the local government colluded with the other party and refused to accept her complaint at all.

Threatened by local bullies, life gets tougher.

So in desperation, I had no choice but to travel all the way to the capital to sue the imperial court.

"My lord, there is absolutely no such thing!"

At this time, a middle-aged man in luxurious clothes ran in a panic.

"Who are you? You ran into the hall for no reason without being informed, what should you do?" Lin Beifan's official prestige was tightly controlled.

"My lord, he is the Yuanwailang who broke the legs of the woman's husband, and I ask you to make the decision for the woman and bring the real culprit to justice!" the woman who reported to the official said bitterly.

"My lord, she is talking nonsense and framing a good person!" The Yuanwailang shouted loudly: "She kept saying that I harmed her, but she couldn't produce any good evidence. How can she say it was me? She just wanted to take the opportunity to blackmail her, please My lord decides for me!"

Lin Beifan nodded: "I see! Come on, give me 30 sticks!"

Immediately, two police officers came out and held down the woman Qi Zhang.

Mrs. Qi and Zhang panicked: "My lord, the women are wronged!"

Lin Beifan waved his hand and pointed at Yuanwailang: "You have mistaken the person, I am going to beat him!"

Yuanwailang was dumbfounded: "My lord, why did you beat me? The grass people are innocent!"

"How dare you say you're innocent?" Lin Beifan slapped the gavel and shouted, "You didn't do it, why should they sue you~?"

Yuanwailang: "Damn it!"

What kind of rogue logic is this?

If the other party sues me, does it mean that I am a bad person?

Lin Beifan waved his hand again: "There is no need to say anything, let's hit 10 sticks first!"

The judge sitting next to him opened his mouth: "My lord, this is a bit of a suspicion of abuse of lynching..."

Lin Beifan yelled: "This officer is handling the case, don't interrupt!"

Tong San honestly closed his mouth.

Then, two policemen held Yuanwailang's body, and another policeman came out and beat him hard with a stick, making the opponent scream again and again, the pain was so painful that he almost killed him.

After the ten sticks were over, Lin Beifan asked, "Qi Zhang, you said that he killed your husband, what evidence and witnesses do you have?"

Mrs. Qi and Zhang shook her head, and said bitterly: "At that time, there were only me and my husband, and there were no evidence or witnesses! But the woman recognized that one of the masked people was a servant of Yuanwailang's family. His name is Liu San, he is highly valued by the outsiders, and he only obeys orders from the outsiders!"

"My lord, you heard it too. She wanted to frame me without evidence at all. I am really wronged!" Yuanwailang wailed.

Lin Beifan shouted: "You still dare to talk too much, it's clear that you haven't learned enough lessons, let's hit another 10 sticks!"

Yuanwailang: "Damn it!"

Then there was another wail, and everyone rolled their eyes.

"Is Liu San here now?"

"My lord, Liu San came to the capital with his colleagues!"

"Very good, pass it on to Liu San!"

A thug servant came up.

But when he saw his master's miserable state, he was shocked: "Master, why are you..."

Lin Beifan shouted: "Someone is here, give Liu San 100 big boards!"

Liu San was startled again: "My lord, why did you hit me?"

Lin Beifan shouted: "Because your master has already recruited! He said that you coveted Qi Zhang's beauty, so you joined other people to break Qi Zhang's husband's leg!"

Liu San was a little panicked: "Impossible! How could the master be able to recruit?"

Lin Beifan said with a smile: "Because of this officer, torture is a trick!"

Liu San: "Damn it!"

Lin Beifan smiled again and said, "Have you seen the misery of your master? This is the end of 20 boards! Tell me, what will happen if you suffer 100 boards?"

Liu San was chilled with fright!

20 large boards have no half life, 100 large boards can still survive?

The adult in front of me is a wolf!

Scarier than Lord Hades!

"My lord, I am wronged! Things are definitely not like this..."

Liu San fell to his knees with a plop, and wept bitterly: "It is true that Qi Zhang's husband was done by us, but if there is no instigation from my master behind him, how would we dare to do it? We are just ordinary grassroots people!"

"It was my master who fell in love with Qi Zhang, but he couldn't ask for it. In the end, he had to kill him! We are just accomplices, and the master is the real murderer. Please be careful!"

"So that's the case! But, your master said you did it, and you said it was your master, who do you think I should trust?" Lin Beifan shook his head.

"The adults and the young ones have witnesses. They work together with the young ones, and they can testify for the young ones!"

"Have they all come?"

"coming!"

"Since they are here, pass them on!"

After a while, the other three came tremblingly.

Lin Beifan yelled: "Put them in a room and interrogate them one by one. If one person's testimony does not match the other three, it will prove that this person is a liar. He is guilty. First, beat him 100 times!"

In the end, everyone confessed honestly in order to protect themselves.

All the testimonies are the same, pointing to Yuanwailang.

It was the other party who was greedy for Qi Zhang's beauty, but couldn't get what he wanted, and became angry with shame, so he sent them to beat the other party's husband.

Later, when the other party reported to the official, they obstructed him even more.

Some of the details were clearly written in their testimony.

"Yuanwailang, what else do you have to say?" Lin Beifan shouted.

"The grassroots plead guilty, please be punished lightly!" Yuanwai Lang trembled.

Lin Beifan slapped the gavel: "Just confess! According to the crime you committed, according to my Dawu law, you must be beaten 80 times with a cane and imprisoned for 5 years! And you must compensate the injured for all losses and all medical expenses, a total of 300 yuan. two!"

"Yes, my lord!" Yuanwailang bowed his head.

"There are four of you, can you plead guilty?" Lin Beifan shouted.

"` "The grassroots pleaded guilty!" The four servants trembled.

"According to my Dawu law, you must be beaten 50 times and imprisoned for 3 years, as a warning to others!"

Thus the swift trial of the case was concluded.

"Thank you, my lord, for being the master of the women! Thank you, my lord! Master Qingtian!" Qi and Zhang wept with joy.

She originally came to the capital to sue the imperial court, but she didn't have much hope.

After all, officials and officials protect each other, and she can't win a fight with a grassroots.

Unexpectedly, I met a young adult who solved the case neatly. Not only did the real culprit be brought to justice, but he also helped her get compensation. Happiness came so suddenly!

"Thank you, master! Thank you, Master Qingtian..." The other party kowtowed non-stop.

Lin Beifan smiled and waved: "Go down, and then I will be watched by people until the other party hands over the money to you!"

"Thank you, my lord, the woman will leave first!"

When the case was over, Lin Beifan smiled and asked the judges, judges and others present: "Everyone, how is the level of this judge's handling of cases?"

"Master Fu Cheng, tall! Really tall!" Everyone gave a thumbs up.

Lin Beifan smiled slightly, very pleased with himself.

"It's just my lord, what if I call the wrong person?"

A general judge said with a wry smile: "You have already beaten others before the case is cleared. At worst, it can be said to be an abuse of lynching! At least you will be demoted or demoted, and at worst, you may lose your head!"

"It's not a problem!" Lin Beifan said with a smile: "When Yuanwailang came in, I saw a hint of obsession, ferocity, and remorse in his eyes! Obsession is greed for Qi Zhang's beauty! Fierce, It's because I couldn't ask for it, which inspired the fierceness in my heart! Regret, because I didn't have time to stop it, and let the other party report to the police!"

"That's why I concluded that the other party was probably the real culprit, so I decided to 'frame' them directly, so as to break their psychological defense and lead to the evidence of a series of witnesses!"

"My lord, tall, really tall!" Everyone flattered again.

"Now, I would like to ask you a question! Usually, when you encounter such cases, that is, cases where people sue officials, or famous people sue powerful people, how are you tried?"

"Master Fu Cheng, of course the case will be tried in accordance with the Dawu law! First ask the reason of the case, then send the parties for further questioning, and finally find witnesses and evidence, investigate the real culprit, restore the truth of the case, etc., and finally it is the sentencing! "A general judge said eloquently.

"There is one thing to add in Xiaguan. As an official of the imperial court, on behalf of the imperial court to implement the law, you must be fair and strict, and you must not favor anyone!" An official added.

"Really?" Lin Beifan tilted his head and said with a smile: "But I found out that my government has taken over many cases where the people sued the government and the powerful, and the people were defeated in the end! This is fair and strict. Where do you start? ? Your money is not just greedy, right? "

The officials present broke out in a cold sweat!List.

Chapter 209 Ordinary people suffer so much that they cannot be bullied, but rich people bully to death!

"Master Fu Cheng, it's definitely not like this!"

"You misunderstood the dismissal!"

"This is absolutely nothing!"

……

Lin Beifan shouted: "Stop pretending to me! Who are you, I know better than you! Before making sophistry, think about how the extra 10 taels of silver at home came out!"

The officials present were silent.

Lin Beifan said angrily: "I'm talking about you! As the so-called food for the emperor bears the worries of the emperor, you should not share the worries of the imperial court and enforce the law fairly! But you are selfish and disregarding the law. Are you worthy of the court's expectations of you? Are you worthy of His Majesty's trust?"

The officials present lowered their heads one after another.

Lin Beifan continued to reprimand: "The common people have already lived a hard life, why do you continue to bully others with power? The common people are very able to endure hardships, and many times they bear it and pass it! If it is not intolerable, how could they sue? Officials, how could they sue the tyrants? Don’t they understand the principle of beating a pebble against a stone?”

"It's good for you, you have killed other people's hopes and don't give them a way to survive! As parents and officials, are you worthy of thousands of Limin people?"

The officials were speechless.
