Chapter 613: False Accusation and Rebellion
All doubts and dissatisfactions are scum in front of the hunting knife!
No matter how dissatisfied, unwilling or opposed the person who was awakened was, when Liu Da Dao put the hunting knife across the man's neck, the man still obediently put his shoes on Take it off.
"Damn, it stinks so much! It stinks worse than his mother's salted fish!"
Liu Dadao just picked up the shoes that the man took off, and he almost rolled his eyes because of the smell of the shoes, so he quickly Throwing the shoes into the pile of shoes, he gave the man a look of contempt.
It’s not like I want to take it off!
The man was full of dissatisfaction, but for the sake of the hunting knife, he shrank his neck and did not dare to say a word.
"Thank you, Brother Dadao." Zhu Ping'an smiled slightly and expressed his gratitude to Liu Dadao.
"My benefactor, why are you so polite to us?" Orion Liu Dadao grinned and shook his head repeatedly.
“It’s our benefactor, it’s what we should do.” Other hunters also said.
"Brothers, I just said that it was you who saved me." Zhu Pingan put down the branch and said. Seeing the excited faces of the hunters who wanted to refute, he couldn't help but touched his head and said helplessly, "Uh, okay. , Okay, but then don’t call me benefactor, just call me Ping An Lang.”
“No, we can’t. "
"That's right, how can we call our benefactor by his name?" The hunters shook their heads, "If the village elders are still there, they will definitely scold us for not knowing etiquette."
As for the issue of title, from "Benefactor" to "Sir", the two parties finally reached an agreement and settled on Zhu Pingan's title as "Gongzi".
During the exchange, Zhu Pingan and the six hunters got to know each other better. The leader of the six hunters, the scar-faced hunter, was called Liu Mu. He was the most skilled among them and the strongest in their mountain village. An excellent hunter; the hunter who talks more, is familiar with people, and looks more active , his name is Liu Dadao, he was the one who urinated on the two people who fainted just now; the other four hunters have similar names to Liu Dadao, they are all named after weapons that elders with little education are familiar with, and they hope that they will become the hunters of their village in the future. A good player named Liu Daqiang, Liu Dachui, Liu Daxe, and Liu Dagang.
In comparison, only Liu Mu's name sounds more serious.
These six hunters arrived in the capital not long ago. They secretly returned to the village at the foot of Yunmeng Mountain to bury their villagers and family members, and then returned in a hurry.
They are still guilty! This time we went back to the village to bury the villagers in secret.
Back then, Zhao Baihu killed a good man and pretended to have merit, killing all the old and young in a village, and took their heads and pretended to be Tatars to report his merits. More than a dozen hunters returned from the battlefield and met Liu who survived when he went out to fetch water. After knowing the truth, the old man was naturally unwilling to accept it. He went to the county government office to beat drums and complain about the injustice, suing hundreds of households that Zhao Daying had a human face and a beast heart, and harmed the women, children, old and young in the whole village.
However, Zhao Baihu had great power behind him and was protected by officials. In the end, the county magistrate ruled that the women, children, and children in the village were killed by the Tatars. Not only did Zhao Daying of Baihu have nothing to do with it, but Zhao Daying took the lead. The soldiers drove away the Tatars and became heroes.
The ancient law has always been "false accusations will lead to death". The meaning of "false accusations and false accusations" is very simple, that is, if it is proved that you deliberately fabricated facts and falsely accused others, then the government will punish you for the crime you falsely accused them of. For example, Zhang San accuses Li Si of intentional homicide. If it is proved to be a false accusation, Li Si is not guilty, but Zhang San himself will be punished by the government for murder.
False accusations are counterfeit. This law was created from the Qin Dynasty and was inherited by all dynasties. It was further developed and added a new paragraph, "Anyone who falsely accuses a person of merit will be punished by one degree." . Merit refers to officials who are "scholars" and above.
The Ming Dynasty is no exception. Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang emphasized the importance of governing the country with strict laws. On the basis of inheriting the previous dynasty's false accusation and rebellion, he further increased the punishment for the crime of false accusation. The "Fighting and Litigation" chapter of the "Laws of the Ming Dynasty" stipulates: “Anyone who falsely accuses another person of being flogged shall be punished with the second degree of the false accusation. ; Anyone who falsely accuses others of being sentenced to imprisonment, exile, or caning shall be punished with the third degree of false accusation. The maximum penalty is one hundred and three thousand li of cane.”
The hunter sued Zhao Daying for killing the entire village. , and the county magistrate ruled that Zhao Daying was not guilty, so the Orion who complained was a false accusation! According to the provisions of the Ming Dynasty Law, false accusations should be dismissed and people should be punished according to the conviction and punishment of murderers.
The Law of the Ming Dynasty: Those who kill, die!
As a result, all the hunters who came to sue hundreds of households against Zhao Daying were sentenced to death and sent to prison to wait for execution in the autumn.
Liu Mu, Liu Dadao and six of them went to buy paper money, candles and other commemorative items for their father and fellow villagers who died unjustly. They escaped by chance and escaped overnight after hearing the news. On the way, he was chased by Zhao Daying from hundreds of families several times. He fled for dozens of miles and entered the mountains to escape. Then there was the scene where he met Zhu Ping'an in the mountains on the outskirts of Beijing.
The reason why the county magistrate sentenced Qiu Hou to be executed was because of the ancient saying: "The king matches the sky, which is called his way. Heaven has four seasons, and the king has four political affairs. If the four seasons are the same, they are the same in the world. Yes. Celebrations are in spring, rewards are in summer, punishments are in autumn, and punishments are in winter. Celebrations and punishments are indispensable, just like spring, summer, autumn and winter. "You must be prepared." The ancients paid special attention to following nature and complying with the weather. In spring, everything revives and the grass grows and birds fly. The human system should also comply with the will of God, with rewards in spring and summer and executions in autumn and winter.
The "Ming Huidian" clearly stipulates: "Execution of heavy criminals must be done after the Autumn Period. Do not do it at the wrong time to hurt business." In other words, heavy criminals must be executed after the Autumn Period. .
That's why the county magistrate made the decision to "behead the prisoner and execute him after the fall".
Now, the few hunters imprisoned in the local county jail have not yet been executed. Theoretically speaking, there is still a glimmer of hope.
So, Liu Mu, Liu Dadao and the others buried their fathers and fellow villagers and immediately returned to the capital, trying to save their relatives in prison by filing a complaint. Then when they tried to file a complaint, they found that there was not even a complaint. There was no way to file a petition, let alone file a petition. They couldn't even enter the imperial city. In fact, they couldn't even enter the Penal Department Yamen, and they were driven away by the guards even if they got close. In addition, they are still guilty, and their identities and identities are all problems.
Of course, it was not without some gain. When they were running into obstacles and almost despairing, they learned that Zhu Ping'an had impeached Zhao Daying from a hundred households.
Originally, after they prepared the matter, they spent their whole lives repaying Zhu Ping'an's kindness. Now that they heard that Zhu Pingan risked his career to impeach Zhao Daying for the sake of their village, they were even more conquered by Zhu Pingan's charisma in asking for orders for the people.
For the sake of their relatives in prison and to repay their kindness, six hunters began to ask people about Zhu Ping'an like headless flies in the capital.
By chance, I heard Zhu Pingan's voice on the way, which led to today's scene. (End of this chapter)
