Confucian and Taoist scholar

Du Ning continued: "Legitimate defense focuses on protecting yourself, not harming others. You must not injure someone's life unless it is a last resort. Otherwise, it is a serious case of excessive defense. Take the case of Liu Chen's knife killing Wang Shuo as an example. I

Why was it pronounced that Liu Chen acted in self-defense? That’s because at the time of the incident, Wang Shuo raised a knife to hurt Liu Chen and almost accidentally killed Liu Chen during the scuffle. Therefore, Liu Chen was desperate and jumped up to grab the knife and kill Wang Shuo."

"Let's return to this case. Did Yang Mao pose a threat to Situ Yan's life? Did Situ Yan have no choice but to kill Yang Mao to protect himself when his own life was threatened? No! So, you guys

Why define Situ Yan as self-defense? Is it just because Yang Mao took the lead? Ridiculous! Who taught you this? When I edited "Chinese New Code", I did not include this definition!

”

"I will tell you another key point. After Situ Yan defeated Yang Mao, he continued to use the bench as a weapon to continue to violently assault Yang Mao, causing Yang Mao's death. Therefore, in this process, it was Situ Yan who was threatening Yang Mao's life. It was Situ Yan who wanted to

Killing Yang Mao is not only an act of excessive defense, but also constitutes malicious killing of others!"

Du Ning turned to look at Qin Wengong: "But you, Qin Wengong, regard this malicious killing of others as legitimate defense, believe that Situ Yan is innocent, and even want to defend Situ Yan. Is this what you call Legalism?

Is this what you call the holy way of Legalism? I have not learned the thoughts of Legalism, but the sophistry of the Zajia family is quite essence! As a dignified scholar, instead of seeking justice for the victim, he described a murderer as innocent.

Man, have you read all the books you’ve read for so many years into the dog’s belly!”

"Du Ning, you..."

Qin Wengong was so angry that his whole body was shaking. In front of scholars from all over the world, Du Ning actually scolded him like this. This was a huge humiliation for Qin Wengong!

At this time, many scholars in Lanzhou City cast extremely contemptuous eyes on Qin Wengong.

The scholars in the Qin family were so angry that they couldn't bear Du Ning's criticism of Qin Wengong, and they cursed Du Ning in their hearts.

"In addition, there is another point that is even more disgusting. You confuse two murder cases that are essentially different in nature and make a mess of right and wrong. All your defense words have no actual basis at all. What are your intentions? What do you want?

Why?"

"Nonsense! Nonsense!"

Qin Wengong's eyes were about to burst, and his hair stood on end with anger, "You are talking nonsense! You are talking nonsense!"

"Bang!"

Du Ning was shocked, looked at Situ Yan and said: "Prisoner, I want to ask you, why did you continue to beat Yang Mao to death after you defeated him? As a scholar, don't you

Do you know that human life is at stake? Is there someone behind this case who was instigating you?"

"I...I..."

Situ Yan's face turned pale, and he didn't know how to explain it for a while.

Qin Wengong's expression changed greatly and he said hurriedly: "Du Jun Mingjian, this was just a manslaughter caused by Situ Yan's impulse."

"Yes, yes, I was just impulsive. This... this was just an accident!"

Situ Yan hurriedly followed Qin Wengong's topic and said: "I was so angry at that time that I couldn't control myself at all. I..."

"Bang!"

Du Ning was shocked again and shouted coldly: "You still dare to argue in court now. Do you think you can deceive me with your little tricks? This case is not an accident at all, but a

In the murder case, you wanted to deliberately beat Yang Mao to death, so you had an argument with him, inducing the other party to attack you first, and then you used the so-called 'self-defense' as a defense, right?"

"I...I..."

Situ Yan gritted his teeth and naturally refused to admit it easily.

Qin Wengong said loudly: "What Yun Qijun said is really funny. Although Situ Yan and Yang Mao have enmity, he has no motive to kill Yang Mao."

"No! He has this motive, and this motive is very clear!"

Du Ning said: "Because Zhou Shuwan is engaged to Yang Mao, and Situ Yan has always loved Zhou Shuwan, so Situ Yan wants to kill Yang Mao. As long as Yang Mao dies, Zhou Shuwan and Yang Mao will not be able to complete their engagement, and Situ Yan will also

There is a chance."

"Situ Yan, this is your motive for killing Yang Mao, right?"

Situ Yan's eyes widened, showing a bit of panic, and his mouth hesitated to speak, but no words came out.

"Bad talk!"

Qin Wengong yelled, "This is just your personal guess, you have no evidence at all!"

"I do have no evidence, but it is true that Situ Yan killed Yang Mao. Therefore, taking the entire case into consideration, Situ Yan not only acted in excessive defense, but was even suspected of maliciously killing Yang Mao. If this was a premeditated murder,

Then the nature of this case is completely different."

When Du Ning said this, he looked at Qin Wengong with deep meaning.

Qin Wengong looked ashamed and angry, and he immediately understood that Du Ning suspected that he was secretly instigating Situ Yan to maliciously beat Yang Mao to death. The reason why Situ Yan dared to do that was because Qin Wengong could use the concept of "legitimate defense" to protect Situ Yan.

Without worries, Situ Yan would certainly dare to do anything.

At this moment, Du Ning completely took the initiative in the case and organized the logic of the entire case extremely clearly. Not only did he classify Situ Yan as "excessive defense", but he was also suspected of premeditated murder of Yang Mao. Once this case was confirmed, Situ Yan

It’s not just as simple as twenty years in prison.

"Du Ning is so quibbling, damn it!"

"Am I, Qin Wengong, going to lose this defense?"

"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! I don't believe it!"

Qin Wengong yelled in his heart. He finally found an opportunity to attack Du Ning's Legalist thoughts, but Du Ning calmly resolved them. This is really ridiculous!

Many Liao people in the crowd also looked extremely ugly, especially the scholars of the Qin family, who were so angry that their eyes were splitting and their lungs almost exploded.

"Situ Yan, please answer me, did you kill Yang Mao because you had a grudge against him?" Du Ning asked sharply.

"No...it's not..."

"You will be given leniency if you confess, and you will be punished if you resist. You can try to cover up the truth by lying, but do you think I will be like a three-year-old child that you can fool easily? Once I find out the truth, you will

You can decide for yourself whether you will receive a more severe punishment!" Du Ning said sternly.

"Yes...yes...I do have a grudge against Yang Mao...that's why I struck a little harder..."

Situ Yan finally couldn't bear the pressure and began to hesitate.
