Jia Yan was sweating profusely after exchanging their experiences and asking questions in detail.
Can’t wait to come back and take a look:
His wife and children were nowhere to be seen.
He didn't panic. There were military fields nearby. Who dared to bully his people from the Beijing camp?
"Master, the sun is too hot. The young master and his wife went to town. I saw that you were in trouble just now, so the kids didn't go to call you."
At this time, the manservant who was exposed in the sun opened his mouth to explain.
"Why are you going to town?" Jia Yan asked curiously.
"He's going to the Governor's Mansion." The servant was also full of doubts: "It's just that he has red sleeves on his arms and a knife on his waist. He looks very fierce, like a military policeman."
"Military police? Why are these guys here?"
These words made Jia Yan even more surprised. Could there be deserters?
By the way, he must be a deserter, otherwise how could he publicize it and invite people to see it? It's just to intimidate him.
Thinking of this, he felt at ease and moved forward unhurriedly.
The reform of the military is one step at a time.
At the beginning, they were called camps, with 8,000 people in one camp, such as Yulin Camp, Mingjie Camp, etc., and later they were collectively called Jingying.
Wu, Shi, team, battalion, association, and wing constitute the basic structure of the Beijing camp.
As for the Gendarmerie, the emperor had already set it up when he first dispersed the customs and reorganized the army. It was regarded as an eye to strictly enforce military discipline, and was only one level lower than the chief officer.
Later, they were unified and renamed military judges. Their status remained unchanged and they were still as arrogant and powerful. They had the power of law enforcement in the military. Although they were nominally subordinate to the Fifth Military Governor's Office, they were actually assigned by the emperor.
But in the military, they still call them Gendarmerie. It's so easy to pronounce that they can't change it. Besides, it's more cordial than Military Judge.
As he walked along, he saw many big men in the army one after another, calling their friends and setting off towards the town.
After walking for a quarter of an hour, we arrived at the town.
Although it is said to be a town, there are not many civilians. 90% of them are from the Beijing camp, and they take advantage of the holiday to visit and inspect the place.
Everyone wants to eat their own food next year.
Without him, it would be very difficult to live in the capital. Even the price of food is more expensive than elsewhere.
"father!"
As soon as I got closer, I saw my daughter shouting happily, being led by her son Jia Daishan as a little girl, jumping up and down, and the straw hat on her head fell off, but she didn't notice it.
"what happened?"
Jia Yan picked up his daughter and put her hat on.
"I heard that the military police caught a man selling his land privately, so he asked us to come and take a look."
Although these words were asked, it was Jia Daishan who answered. He had been studying for several years and was already a half-grown boy at the age of eleven.
"Private sale of land?"
When Jia Yan heard this, he immediately frowned and said angrily: "Why should these people be tried? They can just be executed."
"There are rules in the military!"
At this time, Zhao Shuang, who came over, also came here and said with emotion:
"If there were no such rules, wouldn't it make the military police lawless?"
"No matter how small a matter is, there should be a public trial. These are the rules set by His Majesty. Who dares to violate them?"
"Yes." When Jia Yan thought of the expressionless cold faces of the military police, he immediately nodded in agreement.
According to military rules, any land exchanged for meritorious service or rewarded is not allowed to be freely bought and sold.
Even if a family is extinct, it can only be taken back by the court, and ordinary people are not allowed to mess with it at all.
Such rules are to maintain the combat effectiveness of the army for a longer period of time and prevent it from declining rapidly or being taken advantage of by the gentry.
As the crowd gathered, most of the people in the town came, and the black-faced military judge on the high platform nodded:
"Bring the prisoner here."
After a while, two men were brought up.
One was wearing short clothes, he was strong and tall, and the other was pot-bellied, wearing black satin, and his broad face was full of fear.
"In the Central Military Governor's Mansion, Wang Jing, the chief judge of the Military Justice Department, with the military rank of Zuo Wei, is here to judge this case. This is Lin County Magistrate of this county——"
After some introductions, there was an uproar immediately.
Even Jia Yan couldn't stop breathing in the cold air, and couldn't stop the fear in his eyes.
"Dad!" Jia Daishan tugged at the corner of his clothes, with a look of longing on his face.
"Hey, you don't know."
Jia Yan shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The military ranks are divided into four levels: sergeant, colonel, lieutenant, and general, and the fourth level is right, middle, left, and upper."
"Although your father and I are a guerrilla general, I am only a right lieutenant. The judge in front of you is a left lieutenant, two ranks higher than me."
As he spoke, he crossed his legs and looked at the stage, sighing: "It seems that this case is going to be a solid case."
"Quiet--"
Zuo Wei's scream made everyone stop talking.
Even the magistrate on the side was so frightened that the fat on his face trembled.
"Wei Qu belongs to the Beijing Camp Front Wing, the Second Battalion, and the Third Team of the Second Association. The team leader is Zhang Qianqian. What is his position? I'm right!"
"You're right."
The team at the side was Zhengzheng for seven years and nodded in agreement. The camp and guerrillas were also busy nodding.
Wei Qu, who was kneeling in front of him with his head hanging down, had to say in a low voice: "You are right."
"I have been identified," the military policeman on the side shouted.
"In the Zhou Dynasty, you were an ordinary commoner. Your family owned more than a thousand acres of land. On September 3rd, you bought fifty acres of military land from Wei Qu for five hundred silver dollars. But what happened?"
"It is a rule in the military that no one is allowed to buy or sell military land. Is this true? Don't you know?"
Wang Jing shouted coldly, making the two people in front of him tremble with fear.
"Master Jun, I don't know!"
The pot-bellied Zhou Shi hurriedly shook his head and said: "It's this guy who said to me that the good water for irrigating the land is ten yuan an acre, so the students couldn't help but want to buy and sell it. It's all him who deceived me."
"Wei Qu, is this possible?"
"Reporting to the judge, that's what happened."
Wei Qu nodded helplessly.
"Why are you selling the land?"
"My mother fell ill, and I borrowed money from my friends. I really had no choice but to sell the military land and raise some money to see a doctor and buy medicine."
Wei Qu cried, tears streaming down his face.
The people watching below all had red eyes and felt the same.
The county magistrate on the side heard this and praised: "What a filial son, he is indeed extraordinary in the capital camp."
Jia Daishan muttered: "Dad, he is so pitiful."
"What's the use of pity? Military law is military law."
Jia Yan shook his head, spoke softly, and stared at the stage intently.
"Humph!" Wang Jing did not accept this trick and said firmly: "No matter what your reason is, military law must not be ignored."
"According to military regulations, you sold your land to others and sentenced your whole family to exile in Qiongzhou Prefecture. Do you have any objections?"
"No!" Wei Qu raised his head and begged: "I have nothing to ask for, I just want my mother to be cured."
"The principles of law are nothing more than human feelings." Wang Jing said in a deep voice: "The army will send military doctors to diagnose and treat him, don't worry!"
"Zhou Shi, although you don't know it, you have committed the crime of buying and selling military land. The crime is unforgivable. Let's be exiled to Qiongzhou Prefecture together!"
As soon as these judgments were issued, the whole hall fell into silence.
I would like to recommend a new book with a relaxed, sultry style and a focus on daily life. Although the name is a bit hit or miss, the book is definitely durable and not a harem novel.
The title of the book is "Revival of Spiritual Energy: I Play the Boss of All Heavens", written by the author who has had a dream for ten years!
