299 [It's better to go home and grow sweet potatoes] (for the penguin boss
Feng Shenglun, the magistrate of Qianshan County, slept in a tent by the river for six days, and the magistrate of Guangxin slept with him for six days.
This is the order left by Zhao Han: handle the case right by the river, with the magistrate of Qianshan as the presiding judge and the magistrate of Guangxin as the assessor.
Night, riverside, tent.
Ding Xukun, the prefect of Guangxin, used a cattail leaf fan to drive away mosquitoes, pulled up the mosquito net and said, "Youti, in what year did you enter school?"
"In the second year of Chongzhen," Feng Shenglun asked, "where is Prefect Ding?"
Ding Xukun said: "We entered school in the same year, but I was a candidate in Chongzhen's third year."
"Disrespect, disrespect!"
Feng Shenglun felt a little unhappy. You are no better than a scholar like me.
Ding Xukun sighed: "Oh, I am not showing off, but feeling emotional. At that time, the Lianzhong Dao Examination and the Provincial Examination were so proud that I really never thought about rebelling against the Ming Emperor."
"Things are unpredictable, but things are pretty good now." Feng Shenglun said.
"Yes, that's good. Let's take this case as a warning," Ding Xukun said, "If something like this happens to you and me, even if the punishment is lifted, it is impossible to be promoted in the short term. You are the magistrate of Qianshan County. From now on
Take good care of the Fei family and make sure nothing goes wrong."
Feng Shenglun said: "This case is just a matter of business. There is no need to keep an eye on the Fei family. After all, it is Mrs. Fei's natal family."
"It's necessary, it's very necessary," Ding Xukun said, "Knocking on the Fei family means knocking on the world's great families. Keeping an eye on the Fei family means keeping an eye on the gentry everywhere. Including your family, including my family!"
"I understand." Feng Shenglun said.
It's really difficult to be an official in Jiangxi. Although you get promoted quickly, you will be punished if you go wrong.
Take this time as an example, is there any relationship with Ding Xukun?
It is equivalent to a prefecture-level city. It has jurisdiction over a certain town or village in a county. A murder case was suppressed by the county magistrate. The mayor, Ding Xukun, was actually held accountable.
The seventh day.
Zuo Zuo, who fled into the mountains, was finally captured and brought to justice.
"boom!"
"Ascending to the Hall!"
Feng Shenglun's eyes were bloodshot and he said: "Kong Yan, did the deceased Fei Liang fall to death or was he beaten to death?"
The widower named Kong Yan kept crying: "I can't help Mr. Zhao, I shouldn't have done the autopsy indiscriminately. I thought at that time that I wanted to repay Mr. Zhao for his great kindness. Mr. Zhao is the son-in-law of the Fei family, and I
After receiving the kindness of Mr. Zhao, why should I speak for the Fei family..."
Wu Zuo, a forensic doctor, was a lowly servant in the Ming Dynasty, and his descendants were not allowed to be officials.
Zhao Han abolished the distinction between good and bad, and everyone in the world was a direct beneficiary.
"boom!"
Feng Shenglun took a picture of the gavel: "Don't talk nonsense, did he fall to death or was he beaten to death?"
Kong Yan said with difficulty: "The one who was beaten to death had a damaged spine and bleeding in the five internal organs. Even if he could be saved at that time, he would probably be paralyzed for the rest of his life."
Feng Shenglun asked again: "Did you collect or confiscate the suspect Zheng's money?"
"Five cents of silver, said to be tea money." Kong Yan replied.
Feng Shenglun and Ding Xukun looked at each other, feeling incredible that the county government officials dared to forge the autopsy report for only five coins.
Kong Yan cried and said: "Your Majesty, I really don't want to commit corruption. I just want to repay Mr. Zhao's kindness."
"You are confused, you are trying to harm Mr. Zhao!" Ding Xukun said depressedly.
Magistrate Ding didn't say anything yet: You've done me a disservice.
Except for a few officials who were not present because they were with the army, the case has basically been concluded at this point.
At noon, I went to open the coffin and conduct an autopsy. The internal organs must have been rotted for a long time, but the skeletal injuries were easy to verify. They were indeed caused by being beaten with a blunt instrument.
In the evening, Feng Shenglun began to pronounce the verdict. The river was densely packed with boats, and the riverside was densely packed with people.
"boom!"
Feng Shenglun read out the verdict and said:
"Fei Zheng, formerly known as Zheng Shulan, is from Ehu Town, Qianshan County, Guangxin Prefecture, Jiangxi Province. Her crimes include: first, instigating others to beat and kill two people. Second, personally or instructing others to insult, beat, and imprison for a long time
Good people. Third, falsely accuse the servant of violating the employment contract. Fourth, instruct others to bribe officials..."
"Several crimes were punished concurrently, and Fei Zheng was sentenced to beheading and executed in the autumn. Fei Zheng was sentenced to thirty canes and executed immediately. All the land under Fei Zheng's name was recovered. The servant Gao Liu's liquidated damages of 2 taels of silver were returned and compensation was given.
Gao Liu's ten taels of silver. Return the servant Gao Feng's liquidated damages of two taels of silver and compensate..."
Zheng was paralyzed there without saying a word.
"good!"
"Master Qingtian!"
The onlookers cheered and shouted, they like to see evil people being punished, and they are powerful evil people.
In ancient times, appeals could also be made. Executions were carried out after the autumn, so that there was enough time for appeals and review.
If Zhao Han personally investigates this case, it will definitely be impossible to review it again.
Four evil slaves, two of whom committed murders, but they were ordered by others and accidentally beat people to death. Therefore, they are exempt from the death penalty, but they must be mined for six years of labor reform. Their fate will be determined if they survive six years.
Big. Moreover, all the land under his name will be confiscated.
The other two evil slaves, although not involved in any murder, had been beating and abusing their servants for a long time. Half of their property was confiscated and they were forced to undergo labor reform in the mines for three years.
As for Fei Yingqi, he allowed his wife to beat and abuse others for a long time, causing the death of two people but did not report the knowledge. He was sentenced to three months in prison and had half of his property confiscated. He was not allowed to be an official in the future. He and his descendants within three generations were unable to obtain a franchise license.
The exclusive business under the name shall be suspended for a period of one month.
Fei Yingqi, Fei Zheng and his wife deliberately violated the "Slave Release Order" and were fined five thousand taels of silver and had to pay the fine within three months!
Is it also a crime to deliberately violate the manumission order?
The gentry who were present to watch the trial all felt guilty, fearing that someone in the family would not be wise. They had to go home and be restrained, and they should not beat or scold the servants again, otherwise it would be very painful to pay the fine.
This is the Fei family, and the sentence is so severe, why shouldn’t others be allowed to peel off their skin?
"Hahaha...wuwuwuwu!"
Fei Yingqi cried and laughed. He thought he was dead, but in the end he only spent three months in jail.
Being able to get rid of that evil woman, only three months in jail, being fined with some land, family property, and ruined your reputation is worth it!
The case involves more than a dozen officials. After all officials have arrived, it will be handed over to the Jiangxi Integrity Office for review. After the review is completed, it will be handed over to the Jiangxi Prosecution Department for trial, and finally reported to the Officer Selection Department, Criminal Names Department, and Integrity Department of the General Military Mansion.
Division review.
"Bang bang bang bang!"
Firecrackers sounded in Hekou Town and Ehu Town, and countless ordinary people cheered.
The Fei family has been punished for their crimes, and other gentry will definitely be unlucky for their crimes. From now on, they will not be afraid of these wealthy families at all.
"Long live King Zhao!"
"Long live Mr. Zhao!"
There were many businessmen from other places in Hekou Town and Ehu Town. They looked at the joyful people and inquired about the outcome of the case, and they all felt a kind of shock from the bottom of their hearts.
Feng Shenglun was exhausted and relieved, and finally no longer had to live in a tent by the river.
Since it was getting late, he stayed at the inn in Hekou Town.
When we landed, the people rushed to watch and shouted "Master Qingtian".
The scene of thousands of people chanting praises instantly swept away the fatigue, and Feng Shenglun felt elated. He liked this feeling, as if it was surrounded by fairy music, making people addicted to it and unable to extricate themselves.
"This is what the people want," Feng Shenglun warned the officials around him. "You must remember from now on that if you are an official and do not make decisions for the people, it is better to go home and plant sweet potatoes!"
"We will remember the county's teachings!"
All the county government officials bowed to each other one after another, and the chief registrar even had an idea to replace the couplet in the county government lobby with this one.
The scholar who was riding a boat on the river looked at the bustle in the distance, and suddenly he was inspired. With a lamp in hand and a pen in hand, he made up a story about Luling County based on this case.
The facts of the case were similar, but the magistrate of Luling was corrupt and perverting the law. The male protagonist Zhao Xin (Zhao Han) and others learned about this injustice among the people, so they sneaked into the county government office in the middle of the night and killed corrupt officials to make decisions for the people. According to a conversation between the corrupt officials, the male protagonist
The imperial court was completely disappointed and angrily invited heroes from the world to rebel.
In the next two months, the officials of Guangxin Prefecture were extremely busy, and a large number of old and backlogged cases came to the officials.
In more than 90% of cases, there is no way to review them at all. At most, there are only a few witnesses left, and the physical evidence has long been lost.
Of course, if there are problems with criminal records, these old cases can still be reversed.
The story that the domestic slave was wronged and Zhao Han was furious and ordered officials Jiangbian to review the case quickly spread from Guangxin Mansion to the outside world.
Zhao Han's prestige among civilians has once again been raised to a new level.
Hanzhu Primary School.
Fei Yuanlu read through "Datong Township Agreement" and "Fei Family Rules", and spent half a month to re-compile "Fei Family Rules".
Qianshan Fei's family has lost face this time and must take this as a warning.
He printed more than two hundred copies of the family rules, and each branch of the Fei family kept several copies. He also set a rule that on the first and fifteenth day of every month, the elders of each family must gather their descendants to learn and understand the "Fei family rules".
content.
At the same time, Fei's female family members also have to learn. The first thing a daughter-in-law does when she enters the house is to learn the family rules.
This incident was both accidental and inevitable.
It can only happen in the Fei family, and it can't happen in other families.
If it were other gentry and wealthy families who committed the crime, local officials would not dare to cover up the murder.
Simply because Zhao Han was the son-in-law of the Fei family, local officials still had traditional thinking and believed that helping to cover up was a sign of loyalty to Zhao Han, and even thought that doing so would gain Zhao Han's appreciation.
Once this case spreads, officials at all levels should know what to do if they encounter relatives of powerful people committing crimes in the future!
E Lake, Feizhai.
The third eldest brother, Fei Yingke, was sitting in the garden, drinking and having fun with his wife and concubines. He lamented: "I am the only one left among the four brothers in the family. The eldest brother is an official, the second brother is in prison, and the fourth brother has long since become a general. All the fighting is in vain.
.Hehe, no one is fighting with me now, but I feel very uncomfortable."
The wives and concubines rushed to comfort him.
Fei Yingke said: "I am an incompetent person. I am a useless person. My children should be taught by good teachers. Those who have not gone out to work and are not married yet will listen to me telling me the family rules every ten days from now on. This person lives in the world and is not afraid of not being able to do anything.
, just for fear of doing something big wrong. You should also remember that from now on you must live in harmony with each other, and don't be as confused as that Zheng."
"My husband is right in admonishing me," said the wives and concubines.
Fei Yingke scratched his head and said, "Which of you knows what disgraceful things my second brother has done? He has been manipulated by the Zheng family for thirty years."
