All doubts and dissatisfaction are nothing in front of the hunting knife!
No matter how dissatisfied, unwilling or opposed the person who was awakened was, when Liu Dadao placed the hunting knife across the man's neck, the man still took off his shoes obediently.
"Damn, it stinks so much! It smells worse than fucking salted fish!"
Liu Dadao just picked up the shoes that the man took off, and he almost rolled his eyes because of the shoes. He quickly threw the shoes into the pile of shoes and gave the man a look of contempt.
It’s not like I want to take it off!
The man was full of dissatisfaction, but for the sake of the hunting knife, he shrank his neck and did not dare to say a word.
"Thank you, Brother Dadao." Seeing this, Zhu Ping'an smiled slightly and expressed his gratitude to Liu Dadao.
"My benefactor, why are you so polite to us?" Orion Liu Dadao grinned and shook his head repeatedly.
"Even benefactor, this is what we should do." Other hunters also said.
"Brothers, I just said that it was you who saved me." Zhu Pingan put down the branch and said. Seeing the excited faces of the hunters who wanted to refute, he couldn't help but touch his head and said helplessly, "Uh, okay.
, Okay, but then don’t call me benefactor, just call me Ping An Lang.”
"No, we can't scream."
"That's right, how can that be done? How can we call our benefactors by their names?" The hunters shook their heads repeatedly, "If the village elders are still here, they will definitely scold us for not knowing etiquette."
Regarding the issue of title, from "Benefactor" to "Sir", the two parties finally reached an agreement and decided to call Zhu Ping'an "Gongzi".
During the exchange, Zhu Pingan and the six hunters got to know each other better. The leader of the six hunters, the scar-faced hunter, was named Liu Mu. He was the most skilled among them and the most outstanding hunter in their mountain village;
Many of them are familiar with each other. The hunter who seems to be more active is called Liu Dadao. He was the one who woke up the two unconscious people by peeing just now. The other four hunters have similar names to Liu Dadao, and they are all familiar to elders with little cultural ink.
They were named after their weapons, hoping that they would become good hunters in their village in the future. Their names are Liu Daqiang, Liu Dachui, Liu Daxe and Liu Dagang.
In comparison, only Liu Mu's name sounds more serious.
These six hunters had just arrived in the capital not long ago. They secretly returned to the village at the foot of Yunmeng Mountain to bury their fellow villagers and family members, and then returned in a hurry.
They are still guilty! This time they went back to the village to bury the villagers in secret.
When Zhao Baihu killed a good man and pretended to have merit, he killed a whole village of old and young, and took all their heads and pretended to be Tatars to repay the crime. More than ten hunters returned from the battlefield and met Mr. Liu who had gone out to fetch water and survived. After knowing the truth, they naturally
Unwilling to give up, he went to the county government office to beat drums and complain about his injustice, and sued hundreds of households. Zhao Daying had a human face and a beast heart, and harmed all women, children, old and young in the village.
However, Zhao Baihu had great power behind him and was protected by officials. In the end, the county magistrate ruled that the women, children, and old children in the village were killed by the Tatars.
hero.
The ancient law has always been "false accusations will lead to false accusations." The meaning of false accusations and false accusations is very simple, that is, if it is proven that you deliberately fabricated facts to falsely accuse others, then the government will punish you for the crime you falsely accused them of. For example, Zhang San
Accusing Li Si of intentional homicide, if proven to be a false accusation, Li Si is not guilty, but Zhang San himself will be punished by the government for murder.
False accusations are counterfeit. This law was created from the Qin Dynasty and was inherited by all dynasties. It was further developed and added a new paragraph, "Anyone who falsely accuses a person with merit will be punished by one degree." Merit refers to "
Scholars" and officials above.
The Ming Dynasty was no exception. Zhu Yuanzhang, the great ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, paid great attention to the rule of law. On the basis of inheriting the previous dynasty's rule of false accusation and rebellion, he further increased the punishment for the crime of false accusation. The chapter "Fighting Litigation" in the "Laws of the Ming Dynasty" stipulates: "Anyone who falsely accuses others will be flogged."
Those who falsely accuse others will be punished with a second-degree crime; those who falsely accuse others of being imprisoned, exiled, or caned will be punished with a third-degree crime. The maximum punishment is a rod of one hundred and three thousand miles."
The Orions accused Zhao Daying of killing the whole village, and the county magistrate ruled that Zhao Daying was not guilty of hundreds of households. Then the Orions who complained were making false accusations! According to the Ming Dynasty Law, false accusations should be divided against false accusations, and the punishment would be the same as the conviction of a murderer.
Law of the Ming Dynasty: Those who kill, die!
As a result, all the hunters who came to sue hundreds of households against Zhao Daying were sentenced to death and sent to prison to wait for execution in the autumn.
Liu Mu, Liu Dadao and six of them went to buy paper money, candles and other commemorative items for their fathers and fellow villagers who died unjustly. They escaped by chance. After hearing the news, they escaped overnight. On the way, they were chased by Zhao Daying from hundreds of households several times.
After running for dozens of miles into the mountains, he escaped, and then there was the scene where he met Zhu Ping'an in the mountains on the outskirts of Beijing.
The reason why the county magistrate sentenced the execution after the autumn was because of the ancient saying: "The king is in harmony with the sky, which is called his way. Heaven has four seasons, and the king has four political affairs. If the four seasons are similar, they are common in the world. Celebration is spring,
Rewards are summer, punishments are autumn, punishments are winter. Rewards, punishments and punishments are indispensable in celebration, just like spring, summer, autumn and winter are indispensable." The ancients paid special attention to following nature and obeying the weather. In spring, everything revives, the grass grows and orioles fly, and in summer
All things grow and are full of vitality. Spring and summer are the time when all things grow. In autumn and winter, leaves wither and are full of desolation. The system of the world should also comply with the will of God, with rewards in spring and summer and executions in autumn and winter.
"Ming Huidian" clearly stipulates: "Execution of heavy-duty prisoners must be done after the autumn, otherwise it will hurt business." In other words, heavy-duty prisoners must be executed after the autumn.
Therefore, the county magistrate decided to "behead the prisoner and execute him in the autumn".
Now, the few hunters imprisoned in the local county jail have not been executed yet. Theoretically speaking, there is still a glimmer of hope.
Therefore, Liu Mu, Liu Dadao and the others buried their fathers and fellow villagers and immediately returned to the capital, trying to save their relatives in prison by filing a complaint. Then when they tried to file a complaint, they found that there was no way to file a complaint.
Not to mention filing a complaint, they couldn't even enter the imperial city. They couldn't even enter the Yamen of the Ministry of Punishment. They were driven away by guards as soon as they got close. In addition, they are still guilty, and Lu Yin still has an identity.
They are all problems.
Of course, it was not without some gain. When they were running into obstacles and almost despairing, they learned that Zhu Ping'an had impeached Zhao Daying of a hundred households.
Originally, they had prepared the matter and spent their whole lives repaying Zhu Pingan's kindness. Now that they heard that Zhu Pingan risked his career to impeach Zhao Daying for the sake of their village, they were even asked by Zhu Pingan to ask for help for the people.
Conquered by the charm of personality.
For the sake of their relatives in prison and to repay their kindness, the six hunters began to ask people about Zhu Ping'an like headless flies in the capital.
By chance, I heard Zhu Ping'an's voice on the way, which led to today's scene. (To be continued.).
