Chapter 710: The Capital Strikes Hard, Baoyu Disdains
Since the founding of Chang'an more than 2,000 years ago, the people of Chang'an have seen almost all new things. Just imagine that even "Playing with the Princes by Beacon Fire" was a sideshow for the 700th anniversary of the city's founding. What else have the people of Chang'an not seen?
However, although the people of Chang'an are well-informed, there are few new programs like "Strike Hard" that benefit them. They actually find it very new. Even in the legendary era for several generations, this kind of thing has never happened.
thing.
However, everyone soon realized the benefits of promoting this name.
For example, in the Nancheng Market, a thief stole a wallet and was immediately caught. However, several burly men suddenly appeared and directly intimidated everyone.
"If you don't want to get beaten, just stay away. If you can't keep your wallet in check, you're incompetent!"
The big men's mouths were indifferent, and they didn't pay attention to the people in the market.
But before he finished speaking, a sharp whistle was heard, and soon a dozen or so soldiers in brocade uniforms wearing flying fish uniforms, embroidered spring knives across their waists, and holding wooden sticks rushed over, directly surrounding these people and scolding them.
After that, the sticks came up, and they knocked the burly men and the thieves to the ground, and tied them up tightly.
"If you catch a thief and his accomplices, how should you deal with them according to the law?"
"Thirty boards per person!"
"The Jin Yiwei will carry out severe punishment and double the punishment, even if they are beaten to death!"
"yes!"
Immediately, several soldiers in uniforms were picked out, and they beat them severely with sticks.
These soldiers had gone through several months of training, and every one of them had been beaten and scolded by the instructors. Every one of them was very angry, and they would not be gentle when it came to execution.
Suddenly, there was a sound of skin opening and flesh bursting.
A few thieves wanted to stick it hard and pretend to be heroes, but when more than a dozen sticks were hit, they screamed in pain, and the grandparents screamed at the top of their lungs.
But the executor was stared at, saying that sixty sticks are sixty sticks, and no one could let go.
So they were beaten with dozens of sticks, killing two people immediately. Several others also had more air coming out and less air coming in. Even if they were cured, they would be disabled.
This kind of thing happens in more than one place.
However, no one will feel sorry for a deceitful and abducted person like this, even if he is beaten to death or maimed.
But Lin Zhao was not satisfied.
How can one be beaten to death or crippled?
After all, the policy of "strike hard" is to avoid past mistakes and avoid future ones, and to treat illnesses and save people. How can we say that we should just kill people if they kill them?
Wouldn't it be better to keep working and reeducate through labor?
So Lin Zhao quickly issued a new order.
The punishment with sticks was changed to flogging.
Although his flesh and blood were bruised after being whipped, he could be healed with medicine and the person would not be disabled. However, after applying medicine and treatment, the person was not released directly, but was taken outside the city to wait.
Building a mausoleum for the Supreme Emperor requires a lot of manpower.
During the Han Dynasty, the emperor began to build his own mausoleum as soon as he ascended the throne.
But then everyone was not so stupid.
Many emperors had been emperors for more than ten years, and when they felt old and weak, they began to build tombs for themselves.
The Supreme Emperor is even more extraordinary.
He ascended the throne at the age of twenty and has been the emperor for forty-five years. He has always been powerful and majestic, and he always feels that he will live forever.
It was not until he abdicated due to serious illness that he began to think about building a mausoleum.
Today's reign is "filial piety", which is an excellent example of filial piety and morality. The tomb of the Supreme Emperor is naturally very large.
So there are a lot of laborers arranged.
Lin Zhao thought what the emperor wanted and used severe crackdowns to recruit a large number of criminals. Many of them were directly sent there to build tombs.
Of course, only the most guilty ones are sent there and work until they die of exhaustion.
There are many manors outside the city, and there are many jobs. People who have not committed serious crimes are assigned to wherever they are, and some are busy. They are guarded by soldiers in training when they come and go. It is impossible to escape.
The official document at that time clearly stated that after the punishment, the person must be reformed through labor to discipline him into a disciplined manner, and then he could be released free.
Some people can go back after working in a manor outside the city for a month, while others have to be sent to some old villages in the mountains of Zhongnan Mountain, and some have a hard time.
People fear power rather than virtue.
But when the gang of thieves were killed and the guys who set up the trap were sent to work outside the city, the public security atmosphere in Chang'an City suddenly improved. Under heavy laws, lives were at stake, and no one was not afraid.
There are many local gangsters who do not do any serious things and are always causing harm to the neighbors, as well as the heroes of the Beggar Clan who are trying to rule the area and rule the area. At this time, they are all trembling with fear. Those who can leave the city are leaving the city, visiting relatives and avoiding.
Many people discussed privately that this kind of harsh punishment violated the righteousness of the saints. Maybe the civil officials would advise and cancel this high pressure as soon as possible.
Unexpectedly, just a few days after the discussion, another news came out, saying that Jinyiwei's various departments were checking the backlog of cases in Shuntian Mansion. Cases committed in previous years were not found out, and those with serious circumstances must be thoroughly investigated.
Jinyiwei Comrade Lin Zhao personally contacted Sun Shaozong, the Prime Minister of Shuntian Prefecture, to handle the case, and must thoroughly investigate all criminal cases.
You must know that there is no perfect deal in this world. If you make a case, spend money on the same day, use connections, and delay it, if Jin Yiwei really wants to investigate, I'm afraid it will be accurate at first glance.
As soon as the news came out, even these calm people hurriedly walked out of the city, fearing that they would be swept away, beaten to death, or forced to do hard labor!
People all over the capital praised the "severe crackdown", but for wealthy people, it was just a casual chat after dinner.
On that day, Jia Lian mentioned the majesty of Jinyiwei in front of Jia Mu. Jia Mu and others praised her repeatedly, but Mrs. Wang didn't say a word. Only Baoyu pouted at the side.
When he returned home, he said to the attacker: "I think that eldest cousin is not only stupid, but also a villain who deceives the emperor. Why is the capital so chaotic and the people are so scared that we have to implement it?"
I think the strategy of cracking down is pure nonsense, and they are just villains who are obsessed with profit. We also live in the capital, why have we never seen those villains? In this peaceful world, the world is clear, it is clearly Lin Zhao in front of His Majesty
Confusing right and wrong, it is such a pity that sister Lin has such a brother."
When he usually says this, the maids will definitely agree with him.
Unexpectedly, after he finished speaking this time, Xiren just smiled and looked pale, obviously not agreeing with what he said.
Baoyu was about to ask again, when Qingwen on the side sneered: "What the second master said is really leisurely. Where do you usually live, and how many servants do you have when you go out? How many people are there in the Grand View Garden and Rongguo Mansion to look after the house? Servants
I’ve never read a book, but I’ve heard that ‘why not eat ground meat’? Now that I listen to your words, I know it’s true. Have you really learned something?”
Baoyu was speechless for a moment, and then he took care to say soft words to Qingwen.
On this day, Lin Zhao came to the Jinyiwei Yamen. After finishing the order, he was reviewing official documents in his small courtyard. Cui Qiushan walked in, greeted Lin Zhao, and said with a smile:
"Just now, Mr. Zhang, the young minister of Taipu Temple, sent someone over to express his gratitude, saying that we found some of his horses that he lost last year. Chang'an City has gone through so much trouble, but we didn't expect that the horse thieves caught today would be sold to Luoyang. This
As soon as the thief was caught, he was so frightened that he was so frightened that he had to confess his meritorious deeds."
Lin Zhao smiled and shook his head. Taipu Temple is in charge of horse administration. Losing a few horses is nothing, but if a poor family loses their cattle and horses, they will probably be ruined.
"The severe crackdowns presided over by Lord Lin really gave our Jinyi soldiers a face. Now our brothers are straighter on the streets than before. We have to thank Lord Lin for this!"
"Thank you for your praise. From now on, you can just call Lin Zhao by his first name. You can't act like an adult in front of the capital."
Cui Qiushan put his hands behind his back and said with a smile:
"Sir Lin, not only Your Majesty, but also the common people have all praised the meritorious service he has done. I'm afraid it won't take more than a few days. Lao Cui, I really want to call you "Sir." If you don't deserve it, you are busy.
You’re busy!”
After all, Cui Qiushan is the commander of the Jinyi Guards. As long as he lands smoothly and retires after completing this term, he will be stable in this life.
But he is from the Jinyiwei family after all. Seeing that under the auspices of Lin Zhao, the Jinyiwei that had been struggling in the past was rejuvenated and prosperous, Cui Qiushan was also honored, so he came over to show his goodwill when he had the opportunity. After all, he might not be able to use it, but his son
My grandson will continue to work among the Jinyi Guards.
