This case, which shocked all countries, was solved by Du Ning with the plan of "New Laws of China".
The head of the culprit was beheaded in public, and then the heads of other aristocratic families were sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment and asked to perform voluntary labor, which made many people applaud.
The bribes accepted by Zheng Chaoyang and others, as well as Xing Feng and others, were also fined by Du Ning in accordance with the "New Laws of China". They were fined as much as the bribes they received.
This sentence is very difficult for these people’s families to accept.
They have already been beheaded in public, but they still need to be fined?
Doesn't this tell everyone that all these people's years of corruption have been in vain, and their lives have been in vain?
Du Ning directly issued bills to those families, asking them to hand over the bribes collected from prisoners over the years to the Yamen within three days, otherwise, the Yamen could seize all the assets in their family's name based on the new legal power.
p>
Those families had no choice but to promise Du Ning to pay the fines in full as soon as possible.
They are very aware of Du Ning's strength. If they really challenge Du Ning and refuse to pay the fine, then the Great Confucian Palace can justifiably take action again.
Who is Du Ning?
He is a human king!
In his name, with just one word, the Great Confucian Palace can be dispatched quickly.
Therefore, they can only cooperate with Du Ning's work honestly.
Some people are very dissatisfied, thinking that these prisoners are not worthy of death, and they are sentenced to death even though they can be punished for their crimes.
Therefore, those members of the family decided to jointly file a petition to the Holy Court, asking the Holy Court to give their family justice.
Several scholars from the Liao Kingdom, led by Qin Wengong, publicly petitioned the Holy Court to impeach Du Ning's position as governor of Lanzhou.
These scholars from the Liao Kingdom were so complacent and critical that they criticized Du Ning's actions in Lanzhou City as useless.
As a result, they encountered strong backlash from many scholars in the Yun Kingdom, and these Liao people were scolded bloody in the literary world.
Qin Wengong did not respond in the literary world, but was thinking viciously that when the Holy Court dismissed Du Ning, he could launch a fierce counterattack in the literary world.
He was very confident in his performance. He believed that he was a great Confucian after all and still had a certain influence in the literary circles of various countries. The Holy Court would definitely give him face and remove Du Ning from his position in Lanzhou Yamen.<
/p>
As a result, two days later, the Confucian Hall of the Holy Academy rejected Qin Wengong's petition and did not approve Qin Wengong's request to impeach Du Ning.
This made Qin Wengong, who thought he had a chance of victory, beat his chest in anger, pointed at the air at home and cursed loudly, even his eyes were splitting, almost going crazy, unable to accept that the Holy Court would reject his application to impeach Du Ning.
When he thought of the humiliation he suffered outside Du Ning Yamen, he became furious. If anyone dared to offend his temper at this time, he would definitely become furious.
In addition, the Holy Court also rejected joint lawsuits from many aristocratic families.
This made the aristocratic families who had jointly appealed in Lanzhou City feel defeated. Many uninformed women wanted to make trouble on the spot. As a result, they aroused public outrage and were kicked out by the scholars from various countries who were watching.
The other side.
Lanzhou Yamen has successively received fines from many aristocratic families.
This ill-gotten gain has also attracted close attention from scholars in various countries.
Du Ning divided the ill-gotten wealth into two parts, half of which was used to compensate each victim, and encouraged many students from poor families to continue to study hard in the liberal arts academy, and to stand out in the future as a good official who loves the people as much as his sons. The other half is for the entire Lanzhou City, paying school fees for every child from a poor family, so that children from poor families can go to school well.
This approach greatly admires scholars from all over the world.
The most meaningful thing is to use ill-gotten gains to benefit the people.
In the following days, Du Ning worked hard in the yamen every day, reviewing various official documents, and communicating with various prefectures and counties under the rule of Lanzhou through Hongyan letters.
Occasionally, Du Ning would travel to various prefectures and counties to investigate the public sentiment. With his cultivation in the realm of Confucianism, he could visit cities in various prefectures and counties within two days, just by visiting a busy teahouse or restaurant.
If you sit down, you can find out what the local government officials are doing.
Nowadays, Du Ning's reputation is at the peak of the sky throughout Lanzhou. People like Zheng Chaoyang and Xing Feng who used to cover the sky with one hand in Lanzhou will behead their heads if they say they are beheaded. They also insist on contacting their subordinates with Hongyan letters every day, which makes some people with ulterior motives
None of the officials dared to do anything that violated the new law.
Officials in various prefectures and counties are studying the "New Laws of China" every day. They originally wanted to find some loopholes in it, but they increasingly felt that the new laws formulated by Du Ning were very consistent with the current era, and even had a certain degree of legalism.
Concept.
…………
Until June.
In the past six months, the entire territory of Lanzhou has gradually adapted to the "New Chinese Code". Originally, Lanzhou was the place that was most resistant to the "New Code of China", but it turned out to be the place that most enthusiastically praised the "New Code of China". Many scholars from various countries specially visited Lanzhou and had a unique experience.
Many scholars from aristocratic families are no longer domineering, but have restrained themselves.
When a scholar from an aristocratic family makes a mistake, the common people can straighten their backs and point out the other person's mistake, and the person who made the mistake can only admit it humbly.
If someone is fighting in the street, both parties will be invited to the Yamen for mediation. For cases that generally have little impact, they can be kept private if they can.
For major cases, the Yamen will immediately escalate them to court for acceptance.
In addition, the law enforcement officers in the streets and alleys no longer rely on their status as law enforcement officers to shout at the people, but handle every conflict with a service attitude, which has attracted countless praises from the people. The huge changes in Lanzhou City have made scholars from all over the world yearn for it.
The content of the "New Law of China" has also begun to be widely circulated in various countries, and more and more people are exposed to and understand this new law.
Many Legalist scholars have accidentally discovered that in Lanzhou, the "New Laws of China" has become the strongest weapon for anyone to protect their own interests. As long as they abide by the law, the Yamen will be the strongest backing.
…………
This night.
Two young scholars came to the yamen court, both of whom were scholars of Confucianism and Taoism. One of them was a scholar from an aristocratic family. He smelled of alcohol and sat there with a look of regret on his face.
The other one is a student from a poor family, with injuries everywhere on his body and a face full of anger.
There is no doubt that this is another case of fight between scholars.
Du Ning sat in front of the two of them and looked at them with interest: "Tell me how you ended up fighting tonight."
