Chapter four hundred and sixty first criminal officer can kill
Dai Wang was followed by two jailers, escorting him to the prison of Fa Cao in Liangzhou Prefecture. Because the burn scars on his face looked very ferocious, they shot the Changsong County Magistrate with six arrows and the landlord and his wife.
Rumors that Dung was killed in cesspools made the two jailers keep a respectful distance from him.
Li Siye sauntered behind the jailers. He had already stuffed money into everyone in Facao Prison in Liangzhou Prefecture in advance, so that although Dai Wang would not enjoy super high treatment, he could at least have enough to eat and no worries about others.
disturb.
"Dai Zhuangshi, please come in. I have wronged you for the time being."
The two jailers locked the cell door with an iron chain, crossed their hands towards Li Siye and left.
Li Siye spoke through the wooden fence: "You can endure it in there for a few days, and then you will be truly free."
Dai Wang sat calmly on the thatched bed, turned around and said, "I have never tasted the feeling of going to jail in my life. This place is very quiet, just the right place to calm down and think about the past and future days."
"Okay, then you think about it."
When he came out of Liangzhou Mansion Prison, his own soldier Yan Xiaosi hurriedly led his horse to look for him. He rushed to him and whispered: "General Li, Zhongcheng asked me to call you."
Li Siye frowned. Could it be that something unexpected had happened? The dignified Hexi Jiedushi was particularly cautious in this case.
"Well, I'll be there right away."
The Jiedushi's residence was located side by side with the official residence of Liangzhou Prefecture, making it convenient for the delivery of official documents. When he entered the palace, he saw a chaotic scene. A group of local officials stood outside the door asking to see him, and relatives and friends of husband Meng Zhongcheng also came to congratulate him.
They crowded in line behind the screen wall of the courtyard gate and waited, each holding local specialties in their hands, arguing with each other about which of their relatives was closer to the Zhongcheng family. I forgot to mention that Fumeng himself is a Qiang person, although he was born in Tongzhou.
Feng Yi, however, has many fellow clan members all over Hexi. When he learned that the family had a big shot, he naturally wanted to join him.
Fumeng Lingcha was indeed considered a big figure at this time. Although his foundation in the court was not as good as that of Wang Zhongsi, An Lushan and others, with Li Linfu's step-by-step support, he had begun to show signs that Kaiyuan Tianbao could serve as both
There are still not many people to control Jiedushi.
The steward of the mansion was a servant he brought from Chang'an. The promotion of his master made the status of this servant with the same surname rise, and he was called Chief Bo in the army.
Manager Pu led Li Siye forward and walked through several doorways to the main hall. Several members of the same family who were waiting in the hall saw that someone could enter the mansion without being informed. They couldn't help but feel sour and shouted: "Ah
Bo, what’s going on? We’ve been waiting for half an hour and still can’t see Zhong Cheng, why are you letting him jump in line?”
The steward held his lower abdomen with both hands and turned around slightly, with a pair of triangular eyes hanging downward from the tips of his brows. This look was so sharp that the disciples in line silently closed their mouths.
Manager Po turned around and smiled apologetically at Li Siye: "General Li, I'm making you laugh. These are all relatives that Alang can't touch. As soon as he heard that he was getting rich, they all appeared out of nowhere."
"It doesn't matter." Li Siye thought to himself, if he were to be in a high position in the future, would a bunch of relatives follow him from his hometown in Gaoling?
When the two came to the hall, Manager Pu crossed his hands and left. Li Siye saluted Fumeng Lingcha who was sitting on the bed, and then he noticed that there were two people sitting cross-legged in the hall.
Fumeng Lingcha's demeanor became more and more official. He raised his head and raised his eyelids, raised his fingers from the bed and pointed at the two people sitting there and introduced him: "This is Zhang Shunhe, a farewell chariot from the Liangzhou Prefecture.
Someone is responsible for handling government affairs in Liangzhou. This is State Law Officer Cao Junjun Zhao Ru and others. He is mainly responsible for hearing Dai Wang’s murder case."
The two stood up from the ground and exchanged greetings with Li Siye. Shangzhou Biejia was from the fourth rank, and his official position was slightly lower than that of Li Siye. Moreover, there was no obvious boundary between civil and military affairs in the Tang Dynasty. He saw someone holding a scroll.
Official, maybe yesterday he was still on the battlefield with a bow, shooting, and a sword. A warrior like Li Siye might also come to court to pay homage to the prime minister. Therefore, this person had to bow first before Li Siye could return the salute. This is an official rule and cannot be done.
There is half a deviation.
Zhang Biejia pointed at Zhao Ru who joined the army and said to Li Siye: "As for the case, you can just ask Zhao Rujun directly."
Zhao Shenjun was short in stature, with drooping shoulders and looked very humble, but he always glanced up at Li Siye from the corners of his eyes, making people think that he was very wary.
Li Siye got straight to the point: "I don't know much about the trial. I just asked Zhao Canjun if Dai Wang killed someone in revenge and could be exempted from the death penalty."
Zhao Shenjun raised the corner of his mouth and crossed his hands, speaking slowly but forcefully: "General Li, Dai Wang was sent back from the army to farm and killed the county magistrate. He was killing an official with the people. He committed an unjust crime that cannot be forgiven.
.”
These words sounded very cold, and every word seemed to be rigid regulations, or words that had been thought out long ago to deal with Li Siye's prevarication, to block any possibility he raised. But the other party still shrank respectfully.
The shoulders were like a little wolfhound that suddenly jumped out and took a bite, then shrank back under the protection of its owner.
Li Siye turned to look at Fumeng Lingcha, but Fumeng Lingcha spread his hands and pursed his lips, indicating that it involved a serious crime and he could not openly show favoritism.
He actually wanted to question him loudly, I have helped you so much, but I just want to pardon one person, why is it so difficult to do so.
But he couldn't say that, and he couldn't offend the leader in this situation.
He twirled his beard and wandered in thought, wondering in his mind whether a county magistrate who buys an official position and harms the people can be considered a county magistrate? When he didn't know the solution, he suddenly caught an idea in his mind, turned around and said: "Can these two cases be considered magistrates?"
Can't they be tried separately?"
Zhao Canjun grinned and replied with a smile: "Where did the two cases come from? This is obviously one case."
"Why aren't there two cases? The Zhang Yu couple colluded with the Changsong County Magistrate to kill Dai Ada's family of five. This is one case. Dai Wang avenged his brother and killed the Zhang Yu couple and the Changsong County Magistrate. This is another case.
A case. First try and close the case of Dai A's mass murder, and then try the case of Dai Wang's revenge."
Zhao Ru stopped smiling, frowned and asked in alarm, "Even if they are two cases, the results are not the same. What's the difference?"
"Of course there is a difference." Li Siye asked with his fingers: "The Zhangs and his wife colluded with the magistrate of Changsong County to harm the people. If the evidence of the crime is confirmed, how should they be sentenced?"
Zhao Ru replied: "Of course the murderer must pay with his life, especially the one who wiped out his family. But even if he kills to pay for his life, Dai Wang is not qualified to go on a vendetta. He should be judged by Liangzhou Facao and reported to the capital punishment department for review and execution."
"What about Magistrate Changsong?"
"Of course, he was deprived of his official status, deprived of his fame and demoted to a commoner, and then sentenced to beheading or exile according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty."
Li Siye spread his hands and said, "Isn't this settled? Since in the Dai A massacre case, the magistrate of Changsong colluded with Zhang Yu and his wife to kill their loved ones, so naturally they had to take away their official status and demote them to common people. Dai Wang killed
If he takes revenge, it will not be considered as killing a court official, but an ordinary revenge murder, and it will not be considered as a serious unjust crime."
Zhao Canjun's narrowed eyes suddenly widened, and he grinned to show that what Li Siye said was ridiculous, but he opened his mouth wide and yawned, shaking his head repeatedly and saying: "You are wrong, Magistrate Changsong was still in the county when he was killed.
When he took office, he openly killed the county magistrate, which was a serious crime of injustice, how can he be pardoned?"
"Zhao joins the army," Li Siye asked solemnly: "Can anyone be the county magistrate of the Tang Dynasty? Before he became the county magistrate, this person was a prodigal son who failed in the three tests. Because he was from the same clan as Zhang Yu and had a close relationship, he
Zhang Yu and his wife spent a lot of money to buy officials from Chang'an, and he was appointed as the magistrate of Changsong County. When he was in office, he bullied men, dominated women, and harmed the people. He had already changed himself from the officials of the Tang Dynasty.
The team chose to go out."
"That won't work either. He has an official seal and is an official of the imperial court."
"Does it mean that someone with an official seal is an official of the imperial court? Don't worry about where the official seal comes from? If you buy it, it counts as if you rob it? Could it be that even if the official robe is worn by a bandit with a long history of evil, it can still be justified?
Killing the common people, and the common people took revenge and killed him, and it turned out to be the most unjust crime of killing an official?"
Under Li Siye's series of cross-examinations, Zhao Shenjun was speechless and his face turned pale. He really couldn't imagine how this seven-foot man could have such a good talk. Isn't it said that a simple mind requires well-developed limbs?
