Chapter 236 Judgment (Part 2)

This move was a good move. All civil servants in the Huai'an army, whether they were forced to join, or those who passed the imperial examination, were deeply hated when they mentioned the cruelty of the Mongolian and Yuan court.

Establishing a system different from the Mongolian court and eliminating the negative impact of the Mongols on China is very tempting for them. Almost every time Zhu Bashiyi proposed it, it can achieve excellent results.

This time, it also happened immediately. After hearing this, everyone immediately felt that the criminal law formulated this time was indeed more influenced by the Mongolian Yuan court. There was no tolerance during the Song Dynasty. They blushed and responded in a low voice: "My lord is saying that Song Li rarely sees corporal punishment, but if the law of war is too relaxed."

"It's nothing but not only. Military law is different from civil law. This time everyone formulated civil law. It doesn't matter if it's a little loose. Besides, Zhu has always believed that the law does not care about leniency, but whether it's appropriate and whether it's fair when it is implemented. If someone says something and abuses the law, or the law enforcement always varies from person to person, no matter how strict the law is, it's a pile of waste paper. On the contrary, if everything follows the rules, the prince breaks the law and the people are the same as the people, the people will naturally be convinced. Even if they are a little tolerant, no one is willing to go to the jail to play. What do you think?"

"This." Everyone was shocked by Zhu Bashiyi's novel statement again. Their own chief executive had this benefit. Although they always put forward some strange ideas, they could always justify themselves, and it sounded quite like that, which made people unable to refute it.

How could they know that Zhu Bashiyi's body was still filled with memories of another world. In that world five hundred years later, the Chinese were in an era when they opened their eyes and absorbed the world's knowledge and spiritual heritage without distinguishing between good and bad. Anyone who has received high school education or above has to receive various information from different regions of the world every day, and is impacted by various social thoughts, and cannot refuse it even if they want to.

In other words, Zhu Bashi had a huge library in his mind at this moment. Although a lot of knowledge was incomplete, he was caught with just a few pieces, and even contradicted each other, his wide range of involvement was greater than any library in the late Yuan Dynasty. He had human relationships, political power and strategy, and any civil servants under his command, or even some military generals, would not be worse than him. However, in terms of his extensive knowledge and extensive knowledge, all the scholars in the entire Huai'an army could not surpass him.

That was the result of the evolution of mankind for seven hundred years. It also involved the exchanges between the East and the West, the collision of ancient thoughts and modern culture, and the adjustment of Chinese civilization to itself and adaptation to the entire world after experiencing disasters. Unless Lu Zeng and others traveled through time, denying that everyone could never reach the same height and have the same knowledge accumulation.

"Just like that, according to my idea, if it doesn't work, we will change it in a few years. Anyway, our Huaian Army has just been established, and there is no way to the ancestors." Seeing that everyone was so excited that they were told, Zhu Bashiyi continued to knock on the bricks and nail the feet.

The group of Huai'an Army has neither historical burden nor any established future direction, so it is not too much to reject the attempts of something new that has never been seen before. Zhu Bashiyi has already established absolute authority through victory after victory. Therefore, after admonishing everyone, he accepted his point of view with conditions, and then after some bargaining, he finally confirmed a preliminary criminal law draft.

Among the five types of death sentences, cut, crack, chop, snatch, and poison, thousands of knife cuts and car splits were completely abolished, because in the years when the Mongolian Yuan court was in power, fewer and fewer people were sentenced to these two punishments. The Huai'an army claimed to be a civilized army, and of course it could not be more barbaric than the Mongolian Yuan court.

The other three items did not go as Zhu Bashiyi wished, and directly joined forces to make a decision. In the eyes of Lu Lu Zeng and others, there are two completely different treatments. Therefore, for people with great treason and evil, they must be different from each other to serve as a warning. Only those who are implicated and sentenced to death or those who are executed in various situations will be treated as a snatcher. As for poison, it is completely a meritorious minister or a well-educated scholar, and ordinary people have no right to enjoy it.

Zhu Bashiyi had no choice. Perhaps hundreds of years later, in Zhu Dapeng's world, it was a complete joke, but in the world in front of him, he was limited by people's thinking patterns, and he could not completely rely on his own temperament.

However, the punishment for the tragedy, palace and other people accepted it very smoothly. This was also a great contribution of the rulers of the Mongol Yuan. During the rule of more than 70 years, the government had always only recognized money but was unreasonable. The social status of the merchants was relatively improved compared with the Song Dynasty, so spending money to atone for sins was long considered acceptable among the people, and Zhu Bashiyi did not need to spend any effort to promote it.

Since even the broken leg and castration can be replaced with imprisonment plus fines, other slight corporal punishments are easier to be cancelled for the purpose of insults and punishments. In this way, the entire criminal law has been greatly simplified. In the end, Lu Luzeng only had two or three pages of paper left in his hand, which was simpler and clearer than the criminal law of any era since the Wei and Jin Dynasties.

"When Emperor Gaozu entered Guanzhong, he abolished Qin's punishment and made three rules with his fathers." Looking at the thin pages he had reorganized, the old Jinshi couldn't help but sigh that as a person who had served as an official in both local and central government, he never thought that one day, the punishment methods and tricks of criminals would become so few that the county magistrate would not have to hire a famous criminal master at all. He could just flip it up and make a verbal judgment.

"I will issue it tomorrow so that government officials at all levels will follow this in the future." Zhu Bashiyi has been a little anxious recently and likes to do everything. "When Zhang Mingjian and others were tried in public, they would also follow this sentence so that they would not feel that our Huai'an military was unfair."

"Yes." Lu Lu Zeng and others bowed to take the order.

"Have the venue been cleared out? Who is responsible for interrogating them? If there is no one, Zhu will come to preside over the trial in person." Zhu Bashiyi thought for a while and continued to ask.

"My lord must not." Lu Luzeng, Chen Ji and others dissuaded in unison, "There are empty all over the world and there are many people and eyes. If there are any riots who escape the net nearby, or assassins sent by the Mongol Yuan, I will never redeem them if I die."

This reason is not sufficient. Zhu Bashiyi shook his head slightly, "As for it, our guards are not decorations."

"No matter how good the martial arts are, who can defend against the big gun?" The aides still spoke in unison and refused to let Zhu Bashiyi be the presiding officer.

They have seen the power of the big gun. Although it is difficult to hit accurately, they will definitely die if they get a bullet within a distance of 200 steps. In addition, the grenades commonly used by the Red Turban Army are also amazingly powerful. In the current chaotic state, no one can guarantee whether these things have been passed through the hands of other Red Turban princes to the court.

Zhu Bashiyi argued for a long time and could not make sense to everyone. He had to give up his plan to be addicted to trial and hand over the task of trial to Robben, the military officer.

The latter was in the Huai'an Army and most of the time it was the responsibility of joining the army of Mingfa, so he was not unfamiliar with how to determine the case. He asked Zhu Bashiyi and Lu Lu Zeng for some precautions, and then started to prepare.

Three days later, the trial was cleared in advance in front of the ruins of the former Yangzhou government. Due to the early notification, the refugees in Yangzhou City squeezed the surroundings and crowded with people. Some clever minds even came to the station to take a good seat one night in advance, built several benches with bricks and wood, and then sold them specifically to those who had deep hatred with Zhang Mingjian at the price of ten copper coins per seat. They even made a small amount of money, enough to buy food and eat for several days.

"Come here, bring Zhang Mingjian." Robben, the army, slapped the agglomeration with his hand, and listened to the appearance of Master Qingtian in the play, and shouted loudly.

"Take Zhang Mingjian, take Zhang Mingjian, Wei,,,,,,,,,,!" Yangzhou City yamen runners who were temporarily gathered from the victims opened their voices and sang the hall very professionally.

Soon, Zhang Mingjian was taken out of the prison and dragged into the trial site. An angry shout broke out among the people around him. Countless people held stone bricks and squeezed forward desperately. Thanks to the Huai'an army's sufficient preparations and sent enough soldiers to build a wall with their bodies and shields at the innermost side, they were not rushed forward and beaten the criminals to death.

"Kill him, kill this inhuman dog thief."

"Sliced ​​into pieces, cut this dog thief into pieces."

"Master Qingtian, you must cut him."

Unable to avenge with one's own hands, the people could only cry loudly outside the circle. Some of the yamen runners who were victimized at home were all red with their eyes and chewed their teeth. They just waited for Robben to say the word "tick", and rushed over and gave Zhang Mingjian a killing stick first.

After Zhang Mingjian was captured alive by the governor Li Song and his men, he had long understood that he was doomed, so he had deliberately pretended to be a bachelor, trying to take advantage of the opportunity to be tried to be tried as a hero. At this moment, he heard the roar like a tsunami around him, and his heroic spirit that had been brewing for a long time disappeared. Before Robben could ask, he knelt down and shouted loudly, "General Zhang Mingjian, pay homage to General Zhu, please, General Zhu, for your sake, you are both military generals, and you will be grateful to General Zhu for his great kindness and virtue."

"Steel him, cut this inhuman dog thief."

"Sliced ​​into pieces, cut this dog thief into pieces."

Seeing that Zhang Mingjian suddenly became so cowardly, the people around him became more and more angry. They waved the bricks and wooden blocks in their hands and continued to roar loudly.

"Silent." The judge Robben slapped the gavel and shouted loudly.

"Wei,,,,,,,,,,!Wei,,,,,,!" The Yangzhou City yamen runners who were temporarily gathered from the victims sang the power of the ground with water and fire sticks, and soon suppressed the noise around them.

Seeing that the people gradually stopped making noise, Robben, the military officer bowed to the direction of the general's tent and said loudly, "You have made a mistake. I am the Mingfa military officer under the tent of General Zhu. I dare not pretend to be my supervisor."

"You, you are not Zhu, General Manager Zhu." Zhang Mingjian immediately felt very humiliated when he heard this. He struggled and wanted to stand up. Two yamen runners rushed over and knocked him hard at the kneecap with water and fire sticks, knocking him over to the ground again.

"Work well, the first brother has a good stick technique!"

"Brother No. 1, when you make money from the canal in the spring next year, we will invite you to drink."

There was a cheering sound around him, and they applauded the yamen runners who beat the people, and they made Robben, who was so angry that he slapped the arbor again, "Bang, don't make loud noises, and you, whoever asked you to beat him, if he wanted to stand, let him stand and speak. Our Huaian Army has no kneeling salute."

"Ah, yes, yes, the young one knows that it is wrong, the young one knows that it is wrong, please forgive me if you ask me if I forgive me if you ask me for forgiveness." After hearing this, the "No. 1 brother" of the yamen runners heard the news and quickly started to apologize.

"Pull him up." Robben had no intention of conspiring with a yamen runner, glared at him and ordered loudly.

"Yes, yes." Two yamen runners raised Zhang Mingjian from the ground, one on the left and one on the right.

Zhang Mingjian had just suffered a loss, and his knees were as painful as needles. He didn't dare to discuss seniority anymore. He called out to Robben and said thank you loudly, "Thank you, thank you, Mr. Luo, the general of the crime. I just want to die today. Please give me a happy life to the general and don't let the general be humiliated by these villains again."

"As long as you answer my official carefully, I promise that no one will humiliate you again until you are convicted." Robben, the military officer, looked at him and nodded with a smile, "Come on, bring a brick for Zhang Mingjian and ask him to sit down."

"This is," the yamen runners hesitated and agreed. With confusion, they took out a huge blue brick from the ruins and placed it on the ground to serve as a seat for Zhang Mingjian.

Zhang Mingjian didn't expect that he was still qualified to sit and talk today, so he immediately started to move. He secretly looked at Luo Ben, then looked at the side of the judge, and the old man in Yangzhou who was sitting in a row, lifted his hand tied to the chain, bowed and bowed: "In front of Mr. Luo and all the elders, there is no seat for the general of guilt. Mr. Luo just ask, the general of guilt answers truthfully."
