The real Song Ci and Di Renjie are as follows:
Song ci
In order to find out the truth of the case, the southern song government put the evidence in the first place: "if there is a dead person, he will be killed by the root of the disease"; In the case of human life, the weapon must be collected; If the murderer is found guilty, the body must be confiscated; Fatal injury must be found in autopsy, otherwise it is not easy to close the case, which is a mystery. "The prison of the Great King begins with inspection." Under the guiding ideology of "cautious punishment", it has become a norm in judicial practice to take the existence of criminal facts as the basis for conviction and sentencing, and the criminal facts must be based on sufficient evidence, that is, the so-called "circumstantial evidence is left behind or false"; The same is true for direct forensics inspection. "Song Ci repeatedly emphasized in the book that the investigation and exploration for the purpose of finding evidence should be cautious, and took this as an example. Because the examination of fatal injury is very important for the offender's conviction and sentencing, Song Ci emphasized that the examination must be careful. "In the case of many injuries, only one marker is designated as fatal"; If it is a affray, "if there are two marks on the body, it may be fatal. If a person lays hands on them, they are harmless; If there are two people, one will give his life and the other will not. It must be within two marks, and the heaviest one will be fatal. "However, if two people stab at the same time, it is more difficult to determine which one is mainly responsible for the fatal injury. Thinking of this layer, the consideration of Song Ci is complete. The traditional society in China has always attached importance to the collection of confessions. Confession is important, but this method of illegally obtaining confession has long been spurned by the world, not to mention that "evidence is people-oriented, otherwise it is false." Song Ci believes that to "visit people from all over the world, it is necessary to unify the participants. You must not believe what one or two people say ",and" you must not believe the accuser, you must examine it in detail, and you must tell the truth ".On the one hand, because" the evidence must be true ",on the other hand, not believing in the confession is also reflected in the law at that time. Even if the criminal confesses, we must find out the evidence; On the other hand, even if the criminal does not confess, as long as the physical evidence is conclusive, he can be convicted and sentenced, and everything must be "judged according to the facts." "Time can't travel back to the past, and the case can't' reproduce the scene', so the so-called' truth' can't be completely restored. However, inspection and investigation are related to people's lives, and all the back-testing things must be done well to keep the truth close to 100% and to be true.
Di Renjie
In feudal society, the justice of judicial officials largely depends on his personal moral quality. Once, on the way to his post, Di boarded Taihang Mountain and saw a white cloud flying alone in the distance. Di Renjie told his colleague, "My relatives are under that white cloud." After watching it for a long time, I didn't return to the road until the white clouds drifted away. Zheng Chongzhi, a colleague of Di, is about to be sent to the northwest on business, and his mother is old and sick. Di Renjie urged, "How can you let your elderly mother worry about you thousands of miles away?" So I went to see Bingzhou Taishoulin and asked to travel instead of Zheng Chong. Lin was moved by their friendship, and was deeply ashamed of all kinds of discord between himself and his colleagues, and took the initiative to reconcile. Di Renjie was later framed and imprisoned by a brutal official. In order to avoid the death penalty, someone made him testify that Prime Minister Yang Zhirou was also an accomplice. Di Renjie said angrily, "How can I, Di Renjie, do such a thing against nature!" While speaking, his head hit the post, and his face was covered with blood, which scared the lobbyist to comfort him at once. To sum up, we can see that Di, a close relative of filial piety, is not only a fairly qualified judicial official, but also a moral model of feudal society.
