"Ma Sandao, you commit murder, arson, rape, rape, robbery, and all kinds of evil. This county rebels against you and you will be executed immediately!"
"Money monkey, beat the adults, molest good women, rob other people's property, this county rebels against you and exiles you to Congling!"
"Yang Liang, you fight and bully the good people in this county to betray you and exile you to Australia!"
"..."
At the public trial, as the Sun family was being tried, Zhu Houzhao did not forget those ruffians, thugs and the like who had committed many evil deeds.
Zhu Houzhao also had no intention of being lenient at all. As long as the crimes were serious, he would basically be executed immediately and sent to the guillotine on the spot, so that here at the guillotine, blood flowed into a river, corpses were everywhere, and the corpses of the Sun family were piled up.
Together, it was so terrifying that many adults had to send their children home quickly to avoid having nightmares every night.
As for the ordinary gangsters, who had not committed any serious crimes, Zhu Houzhao was also sentenced severely, and basically they could not escape being exiled to the Golden Continent, Australia, and many of them were even exiled to Congling, Beihai and the Altai Mountains.
"Everyone, the Sun family and the gangsters under their command have all been punished as they should be. The Sun family has plundered and plundered in Huairou County at all costs over the years, exploiting the folks in Huairou County, and accumulated huge wealth."
"Now this county will return the illegal gains of the Sun family to the folks in Huairou County in accordance with the law. As long as you can produce enough evidence, or have certain witnesses and physical evidence, you can come to this county and return the illegal gains that belong to Huairou County.
Take your property back."
The public trial lasted for a whole day. Thousands of people gathered at the scene. Zhu Houzhao did not even eat lunch and kept pronouncing the verdict.
When it was almost sunset, the verdict was finally pronounced, and Zhu Houzhao then announced a major decision to return all the property that the Sun family had robbed over the years to the folks in Huairou County.
"Master Qingtian!"
"It's really Mr. Qingtian!"
"Everyone kneel down, everyone kneel down and kowtow to Master Qingtian!"
After hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, an old man knelt down on the spot and shouted to those around him.
When others heard this, they also knelt down and kowtowed to Zhu Houzhao.
"Master Qingtian!"
"You not only uphold justice for us, uphold justice and redress the grievances of those of us, but you have not even forgotten our insignificant things."
"We really don't know how to thank you. Please accept our prayers!"
As the old man spoke, he led others to kowtow to Zhu Houzhao.
To be honest, no one thought at the beginning that the young county master in front of them could uphold justice and justice for everyone and bring down the Sun family.
At first, everyone thought that Zhu Houzhao, like previous county magistrates, was colluding with the Sun family and did not care about the life and death of the people in Huairou County.
But who knew that this young man in front of him not only wiped out the Sun family's cancer with thunderous momentum, but also, unlike other officials, did not covet the Sun family's property, and actually took all the Sun family's property
Take it all out and give it back to everyone.
This made the people of Huairou County, who were extremely disappointed with the imperial court, both overjoyed and unable to believe it.
There are still good officials in the world, and there are still good officials who are willing to make decisions for the people.
"Get up, get up!"
When Zhu Houzhao saw it, he quickly walked down and asked everyone to get up.
"These are what I should do!"
"Actually, all this is the fault of us officials. We didn't discover the cancer in the Sun family in time, and we didn't take action in time to redress everyone's grievances. This led to everything today."
"If the cancer in the Sun family had been eliminated earlier, there would not have been so many tragedies. In the final analysis, it is still the fault of the imperial court. It is the imperial court that has failed you and the fellow villagers of Huairou County."
Zhu Houzhao looked at the people in front of him and felt something.
The reason why the Sun family is able to run rampant in Huairou County is only relying on a small Tongpan and the county magistrate. However, this big official, even though his own people act recklessly and lawlessly.
How many such officials were there in the entire Ming Dynasty?
I'm afraid that in the vast land of Ming Dynasty, there are still a lot of cancers like the Sun family. They torture the people wantonly. However, because there are people above to provide protection, they can never be eliminated. Justice has been slow to come, and injustice has never been done.
to stretch...
At the Huairou County Government Office, Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao were chatting while drinking tea.
In the past, the two rarely talked about national affairs, because Zhu Houzhao was not interested in them at all, and Liu Jin was too lazy to discuss these things with Zhu Houzhao.
What I talked about with Zhu Houzhao was basically military, mechanical and electromagnetic things, because these are what Zhu Houzhao is interested in.
But today, Zhu Houzhao took the initiative to chat with Liu Jin, and they talked about national affairs.
"Old Liu, how many cancers like the Sun family are there in our Ming Dynasty?"
Zhu Houzhao was in a bad mood, obviously affected by today's public trial.
Originally, I just looked at the files and archives, and could not really relate to the things described above. But today, after hearing the complaints from the folks in Huairou County, I can somewhat understand the feeling of being tortured by the Sun family.
His beloved wife was robbed, and he wanted justice, but was almost beaten to death; his wife was humiliated to death, killing two people, and even the child in her belly was gone.
Your daughter was forcibly taken away, and your legs were broken; the property you worked so hard to accumulate was taken away in despicable and shameless ways, and your wife was bullied...
The common people gnashed their teeth in hatred towards the Sun family, and today they can finally feel the same way.
"Your Highness, I don't know how many there are. All we can do is try to reduce the occurrence of cancers like this in the Sun family."
Liu Jin thought for a while and didn't know how to reply.
We must know that even in later generations, in the era of advanced information and advanced technology, there are still many such things, many, too many, too many evil forces that cannot be swept away no matter how hard they are swept away. Even if they are swept away, living a better life
It will reappear in a few years.
After all, there is a sunny side to this world, and naturally there is also a dark side. This is true no matter which country or dynasty it is, and it can never be changed.
"I never understood why my father was so diligent before, but now I somewhat understand."
"Many times, the emperor doesn't just want to feed the common people. If there is a famine, the emperor will reduce or reduce taxes in a place, and also allocate funds to help the victims."
"But when it comes to implementation, the tax reductions and exemptions are still being collected, but they are in the hands of these corrupt officials below. Not even a particle of the silver and grain allocated by the court has reached the hands of the victims, and it has gone to these corrupt officials.
In hand."
"The final result is that the people suffer, and they blame the emperor for not caring about the sufferings of the people, and not caring about their life and death. However, the emperor thinks that he has done his best to provide disaster relief and relief, and the people can survive the difficulties, and the world will be peaceful."
"Only these officials in the middle, they eat the top and eat the bottom, hide it from the top and bully the bottom."
"My father works extremely hard every day. In the final analysis, it is for the sake of the people of this world. But being an emperor is not enough to be diligent. Wisdom is also needed."
Zhu Hou looked at the stars in the night sky, and what he was thinking about was that Emperor Hongzhi was working very hard all night reviewing memorials.
Thinking about it again, the officials from all over the Ming Dynasty were living a happy life in wine pools and meat forests. As for the common people at the bottom, they are probably still working hard at this moment.
After some comparison, Zhu Houzhao also had a deep understanding of the country, the emperor, and world affairs.
"Your Highness's words are truly astonishing. I've been seeing you with admiration since we've been apart for three days."
Liu Jin looked at Zhu Houzhao and was very surprised that he had such experience and profound understanding.
Think about Zhu Houzhao in history. After he ascended the throne, he was completely opposite to his father. He did not like going to court or dealing with government affairs, but this did not mean that he did not do anything.
On the contrary, he re-enabled factory guards, opened up his ears, attached great importance to military affairs, and defeated the little Tatar prince in foreign affairs. These are enough to show that he has his own ideas and methods about being an emperor.
Emperor Hongzhi was diligent and frugal, but to be honest, both his means and wisdom were average. He felt a bit like being fooled by the civil servants, and he listened to the civil servants in everything.
Perhaps it brought a stable and seemingly good situation to the Ming Dynasty to a certain extent, but it was unable to fundamentally solve the problems and drawbacks faced by the Ming Dynasty, and it also made these drawbacks and problems more serious, leaving the civil servants
The group continued to grow, and eventually by the mid-to-late stage, it had grown too big to be dealt with.
More importantly, he followed the advice of civil officials and carried out salt tax reform. Instead of paying grain to pay silver, the border army was completely destroyed and no longer had fighting capacity. In the end of the Ming Dynasty, when faced with the Tatars and the successive peasant uprisings, the court
He was dragged to death abruptly.
Zhu Houzhao may have clearly seen the situation faced by the Ming Dynasty and wanted to make changes and do something. However, he died too early and too suddenly. He left in a hurry without completing many things, which ultimately took advantage of Zhu Houzhao.
, and Zhu Houcong also saw this situation, and has been fighting wits and courage with the civil servants, but he has never found a solution to the Ming Dynasty problem.
Now Zhu Houzhao can have such an understanding, which makes Liu Jin have to look at him with admiration.
"Your Highness, this is indeed worthy of our reflection and thinking of a good solution. The core of it is the checks and balances and supervision of power!"
After thinking about it, Liu Jin also slowly told some of the knowledge about power checks and balances and supervision in later generations.
