Therefore, when he was in this world today and heard such absurd facts of the case, he made up his mind that he would never let the laws of the Great Qin Dynasty hurt the righteous party.
Because of the law, it not only punishes the evildoers, but also has the function and role of protecting the law-abiding and justice.
If the law-abiding people cannot be protected, the goodness cannot be protected, and justice cannot be framed, but instead suppress the atmosphere of justice and encourage the unreasonable demands of the wicked and the bad, then there is clearly a problem with the law and it needs to be amended appropriately.Otherwise, in this society, justice will gradually disappear, and finally people will become indifferent, not talking about right and wrong, not talking about good and evil, only talking about gains and losses.
Not helping the elderly is the best example.
Because people don't care whether helping the elderly is right or wrong, they only care about gains and losses. If helping the elderly will hurt themselves, then people will not help them, even if the behavior of helping the elderly is right and kind , but... so what?
Li Yang would never allow such a sad social atmosphere to appear in Great Qin.
Li Yang allows the law not to represent justice, but never allows the law to suppress justice.
Therefore, Li Yang immediately said to Fusu: "Your Highness, it is better to leave this matter to the minister, and the minister will definitely handle it fairly."
Fu Su nodded: "Alright, it happens that the Daqin law reform is led by the Taifu, and it is more appropriate for the Taifu to handle this matter than Gu."
At this time, Li Yang said to the woman: "I am Li Yang, the head of the State Council, and I will retry your case for you."
Chapter 367 Law and Justice ([-])
"Li Yang, President of the State Council?"
"It turns out that he is the Lord of Zhen!"
As soon as Li Yang's words fell, there was a sound of surprise in the audience, and everyone's eyes lit up.
Obviously, Li Yang's name has long been heard by these common people, but they did not expect that the young man next to Fusu was actually the famous Zhen Guojun.So it's no surprise that there was a moment of surprise and surprise.
"Great, Lord Zhen retried the case, and this time it is saved!"
"Yes, Lord Zhen will definitely give her justice."
"........."
The onlookers were all thankful for the woman.
And the person next to the woman hurriedly said to the woman: "What are you still doing in a daze? That is the king of the town who stands up for the world and lives for the people. He will help you retry the case. Your husband will definitely not If there is something to do, hurry up and thank Lord Zhen!"
When the woman was told by the people around her, he just recovered from his astonishment, because he didn't expect that the person in front of him was Li Yang, the Lord of Zhen.
Speaking of which, she traveled thousands of miles from Shandong to Xianyang, and her purpose was to find Lord Zhen, because someone told her that the laws of the Great Qin clearly stipulated that hurting someone's life is a violation of the law, so she wanted to save her husband. , there are only a few people in the world who can do it, either the emperor or Li Yang, the king of the town.
The reason is that the laws of the Great Qin Dynasty were enacted by Li Yang's leading reforms, so only he can revise the unfair laws.
Therefore, although this is only a glimmer of hope, in order to save her husband and this family, she still came to Xianyang with her last hope.
It's just that when I first arrived in Xianyang, I didn't expect to meet Li Yang, the Lord of the Town I was looking for. This...
The woman feels like she is in a dream.
This must be a manifestation of God!
It was precisely because of this that the woman didn't react for a while when she heard that the person who was going to retry the case was Li Yang, the Lord of the Town.
"Thank you Your Highness, thank you Lord Zhen!"
At this time, the woman hurriedly kowtowed again and again, tears streaming down her face.
She knew that her husband was finally saved this time!
Fusu said: "You don't have to worry too much, whether your husband is a capital offender, Lord Zhen will uphold justice and judge."
The woman nodded repeatedly.
After finishing speaking, Fu Su left first, planning to visit Central Park.
As soon as Fu Su left, Li Yang didn't plan to go back to the palace, but turned around and asked everyone: "Is there anyone else who has encountered injustice?"
Yes, Li Yang intends to take this opportunity to look at the laws of the Great Qin and what aspects need to be corrected.
When this question was asked, someone really stood up immediately and said: "Report to the Lord of the Town, the common people have also encountered injustice."
"Oh?"
Li Yang didn't expect someone to reply, so he couldn't help being a little surprised, so he hurriedly asked: "Why is it unfair, just say it."
The person who stood up was a middle-aged man, dressed gorgeously, he should be a wealthy businessman.
The man cautiously replied: "The common man is a doctor, and there is also a medicine shop in Xianyang. Seeing this situation, they naturally went out to rescue the old man immediately. It is a pity that the old man was suffering from some kind of sudden illness, and the common people tried their best to save them, but there was still no way to recover. However, because of this, the common people got into a big fight Disaster. After the old man’s children learned of this, they blackmailed the common people, saying that the old man died because of the common people’s disorderly treatment, and threatened to report the matter to the government.”
"If this matter is reported to the officials, and the common people are unable to prove their innocence, the common people will definitely lose their lives. In the end, they have to let them be blackmailed. The common people... are really wronged. Sigh!"
Having said that, the middle-aged man sighed helplessly, full of indignation.
Qin State, because after the reform of the Qin law, it pays attention to the people not to be promoted, and the officials not to be held accountable.And since the matter of this middle-aged man has not been reported to the authorities, Li Yang naturally has no need to help him with any case, because he himself has not filed a case for this matter.
However, Li Yang still feels sympathy for him. No matter who encounters this kind of thing, basically he can only admit it.Even in the world that Li Yang came from, it was the same.
Of course, what happened to the middle-aged man also made the crowd of onlookers feel sympathetic, saying that the good intentions are not rewarded, and the old man's children are too shameless.
For a while, it can be said that the crowd was furious.
At this time, another old man said: "You are not bad. I have a neighbor who is even more unlucky than you. He is brave and righteous, but just last month, when he was drinking in a bar, he saw a rich man. She molested a girl, and because of her outspokenness, she stood up and stopped the rich man, and ended up fighting with that rich man, and then committed the crime of private fighting for this, and was sentenced to three years in prison, alas, what a disaster!"
When everyone heard about this, they all shook their heads and sighed.
Some people said: "If things go on like this, how can this world make people dare to help, how can people dare to stand up for righteousness and fight against injustice?"
"Yes, some laws are really unfair. I hope Lord Zhen can uphold fairness and justice, and don't let this phenomenon continue."
Everyone bowed to Li Yang one after another, obviously they all hated this law that suppressed justice.
Seeing this situation, Li Yang knew that Daqin's laws really had too many flaws and inadequacies.
In order to appease everyone and made up his mind to revise the laws of Daqin, Li Yang immediately promised everyone: "I have already understood the extremely unfair things you said. Don't worry, everyone, if any law makes you People in the world generally feel unfair treatment and feel unfair, so I can assure you here that such laws will definitely be amended, and I will never turn a blind eye and continue to make mistakes."
When everyone heard this, they hurriedly shouted: "The Lord of Zhen is wise, and the Great Qin has lived for thousands of years!"
Li Yang pressed his hand, signaled for everyone to be quiet, and then said again: "The reason why the country needs laws is for the stability of the world, for the long-term peace and stability of the world, for fairness, and for punishing evil. However, the law It was made by man, and since it was made by man, it is impossible for every law to be perfect, so there are deficiencies in individual laws, and you all have to understand it, let the court time, and slowly perfect it."
Everyone nodded and agreed.
Seeing that the people's grievances were gone, Li Yang said to the woman: "You go back to the Ministry of Criminal Justice with me, and I will retry the case for you."
Speaking of this, Li Yang said to the old man who complained for the neighbor: "By the way, you go and tell your neighbor and ask his family to submit a complaint to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. I will order the Ministry of Criminal Justice to re-trial."
When the old man heard it, he was overjoyed, nodded again and again, and then ran back home impatiently, and went to report to his neighbors.
