Chapter 643 Ministry of Punishment Statement (2)

The sun gradually climbed to the direction of 11 o'clock, and the bright sunlight made it hard to keep your eyes open. The storm and rain last night seemed to have become a long-lasting memory.

"Mighty."

Under the sun, the two rows of guards in the Courtyard of the Ministry of Criminal Justice held water and fire sticks, and shouted mightily in a low and forceful voice, officially opening the curtain of the Ministry of Criminal Justice's petition.

"Snapped"

A gavel sounded in the lobby.

"Come here, bring Zhu Ping'an and Zhao Daying to the court." The five presiding judges in the hall gave way to each other, and finally Wang Xueyi, the servant of the Ministry of Punishment representing the host, slapped the gavel, ordering the guards to take Zhu Ping'an and Zhao Daying Da Ying went to court.

After the order was given, the two guards walked up to Zhu Ping'an, and stretched out their hands one by one as if they were going to take the prisoner.

"Don't bother, I'll go by myself."

Zhu Pingan stopped the officer from pulling with his eyes, then straightened his clothes, and walked towards the court.

Is this a petition, or an interrogation? ! Zhu Pingan rolled his eyes speechlessly.

Compared to Zhu Ping'an, Zhao Daying's treatment was much better. He was respectfully invited by the guards, and the presiding judges were also kind.

Tsk tsk, today is Zhao Daying's home game, it has been arranged a long time ago, hehe, it's getting more and more interesting, Zhu Ping'an smiled disdainfully while walking, stretched his waist, and went to In court.

"My subordinate Zhu Ping'an, I have met all of you adults."

Zhu Ping'an walked up to the courtroom, bowed his hands to the presiding judge in the courtroom, and then bowed his hands to the auditoriums on both sides.

"no."

After a long time, I heard the presiding officer in the courtroom reply lightly.

"Who is in the hall?" Although he knew that Zhu Ping'an and Zhao Daying were standing in the hall, the presiding officer in the courtroom still asked according to the procedure.

"The lower official Hanlin Academy attends Zhu Ping'an."

"The next official is the commander of the Xicheng Bingmasi, Zhao Daying of Qianhu."

Zhu Ping'an and Zhao Daying replied almost at the same time.

"Well, since everyone is here, let's go to court." The presiding officer in the courtroom nodded and patted the gavel again.

"Mighty." The water and fire stick in the officer's hand knocked on the ground frequently, and the deep mighty sound sounded again, calling out the majesty of the court.

The guards shouting mighty and the presiding officer slapping the gavel are all for the purpose of "magnificence". Through these, the authority and sanctity of the law are conveyed. Simply put, it is to shock and frighten people, and is used to train and control the people.

Zhu Ping'an knew the reason a long time ago, so this set is useless to him, and his heart is like still water without the slightest ripple.

Zhu Ping'an stood under the hall, his whole body was like a huge reef standing in the waves, wave after wave came over, and he couldn't shake it a bit.

Zhu Pingan's composure made many officials who were watching secretly marvel. In their opinion, a young man like Zhu Ping'an's age would definitely feel fearful and nervous when he first saw this kind of formation, but they didn't expect that Zhu Ping'an was so calm. They have all experienced in the officialdom for a long time, and their eyes are also very poisonous. It can be seen that Zhu Ping'an is not pretending to be calm, but a calmness with a strong psychological quality and exuding from the inside out, just like he has experienced in the officialdom for more than ten years. like the old bureaucrats.

"The case of Zhu Pingan's impeachment of Zhao Daying, a thousand households, was read by the Imperial Academy's minister. Today, he made a statement at the Ministry of Punishment. Now, Mr. Taku Haituo, the Tongzhi of Jin Yiwei, Mr. Zhao Qiu, the left servant of the Ministry of War, Mr. Wang Xueyi, the minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and the Shaoqing of Dali Temple Mr. Wan Gongwan, Mr. Wang Gaowang, the right deputy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Mr. Wang Xueyi from the Ministry of Criminal Justice, jointly presided over the petition. Zhao Daying, Zhu Ping'an, do you have any objections to this interrogation?"

Today, the joint trial of the five ministries, because the Ministry of Punishment is the home court, Wang Xueyi, the minister of the Ministry of Punishment, presided over the joint trial as a matter of course under the humility of the presiding judges.

These are all procedural questions of the triage trial.

In general, the presiding judge announces the composition of the collegial panel when a modern court is in session, and asks the parties whether they have any objections to the composition of the collegial panel. Its implicit meaning is that if the members of the collegial panel have an interest in the case or have other relationships with the parties to the case that affect the trial, they can apply for the withdrawal of the relevant personnel.

"No objection, I believe that your lords will judge impartially and return my innocence." Zhao Daying took the lead to reply, and after speaking, he gave Zhu Pingan a demonstrative glance.

Naturally, Zhao Daying would not have any objections. Among the presiding judges were his uncle Zhao Qiu, officials he had paid a visit to, and the core officials of the strict party. Except for a few presiding judges, almost all of them were It is beneficial to him.

Zhu Ping'an raised his head and scanned the presiding officials one by one, narrowed his eyes slightly, and thought for a while.

Objection?

Zhao Qiu is Zhao Daying's uncle, so he will definitely lean towards Zhao Qiu; Wang Xueyi, Minister of Criminal Justice, is a close aide of He Ao, Shangshu of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and He Ao is now attached to Yan Song, and Wang Xueyi is also Yan Song's party member. Don't even think about it, Wang Xueyi will definitely be biased towards Zhao Qiu Da Ying; Jin Yiwei knew that Tuo Hai was a close friend of Jin Yiwei's commander Lu Bing. Although Lu Bing was not a strict party, after jointly rectifying the former chief assistant Xia Yan with Yan Song, his relationship with Yan Song heated up sharply. Ying;

Wan Gong, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, Zhu Pingan has some impressions. He is an expert in water control and a capable minister. As for the others, I don't know.

Wang Gao, the right deputy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, is not a strict party. Wang Gao belongs to the party of Li Mo, Minister of the Ministry of Officials. For Shilin scum. Who knows, whether Li Dang is here to fight Yan Dang, or will take this opportunity to clean himself out of the scum.

So, counting, if you want to apply for recusal, the presiding judge in the court will have to recuse more than half of it

But Zhao Qiu said that he could raise an objection based on his relationship with Zhao Daying's uncle and nephew; but what about the other presiding judges, you said they are strict parties, so they raised objections? There are many strict parties today, there are presiding judges, and there are more observers.

This is not a legal reason. I will definitely not support myself in court, and I will completely hate Yan Song and offend the presiding judge. I am not worth the loss.

Another point is how do you prove that people are strict party?

So, if you object, you can only object to Zhao Qiu, which does not help the situation. Other presiding judges who are biased towards Zhao Qiu are still there. And even if he objected to Zhao Qiu, it might not be successful. In case someone declares that they want to destroy relatives in a righteous way, and the other presiding judges take the opportunity to say that internal actions do not avoid relatives and external actions do not avoid enemies, there is nothing they can do.

This is a feudal society, not a modern society ruled by law. In a modern society ruled by law, kinship will definitely be avoided, but feudal society is different, and it may be rejected if it is mentioned.

One more is not more, one less is not much.

Since this is the case, it is better not to mention it at all.

Let them be proud for a while and relax their vigilance, it will be more interesting then.

There were a lot of thoughts above, but in Zhu Pingan's mind, it was only a moment, and it was less than a second before Zhao Daying finished speaking without objection.

"I have no objection." Zhu Pingan thought for a while, then cupped his hands and replied.

After Zhu Ping'an finished speaking, Zhao Daying beside him couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and Zhao Qiu in the courtroom glanced at Zhu Ping'an, with deep meaning.

Other officials in the courtroom who knew the relationship between Zhao Daying and Zhao Qiu looked at Zhu Pingan and shook their heads slightly. Zhu Pingan was still too young

"Okay, since there is no objection, let's formally start the petition." Wang Xueyi, the minister of punishment, nodded and patted the gavel.

"Wait a minute, I have objections."

At this moment, a sound was heard suddenly, and the voice was extremely eye-catching in the courtroom.
