Chapter 866: Sweeping Corruption Becomes Famous
If Mai Ke had decided for himself, he would not have used Ling Chi's method of violating humanitarianism, and no matter how heinous the two guys Gu Yu and Tu Tao were, they would just die.
However, now that Gu Jiaxin is specifically presiding over this matter, Mai Ke will go with the flow.
Anyway, the written law of the kingdom of heaven has not yet been established, so let's be willful for once.
Since this was the first such crime in the Kingdom of Heaven, and it was also the first operation under the function of the anti-corruption envoy of the Kingdom of Heaven, Guo Songtao still rushed over.
After seeing the crimes of these guys, Guo Songtao completely agrees with such a sentence against these people!
Including Ling Chi's execution of the two first offenders, including the officials and officials at all levels below, he agreed with everything!
Guo Songtao, as an anti-corruption envoy, gave Gu Jiaxing, the Xiangli, a very high evaluation of this operation: the facts are clear and the sentencing is accurate.
He also said on the spot that this precedent will be used as the standard for handling similar cases in the future until the statutory law is published.
When these two colleagues were in charge of deciding and adjudicating the case, Mai Ke was also very busy!
Not only is he busy, but all the soldiers, the 100,000 heavenly army, plus the 21,000 Tongbai Mountain Xinding, are all doing one thing: curing the sick and saving people!
In the entire Yiyang and surrounding counties, townships and villages, the disaster situation in Yiyang Prefecture is the most severe!
Because the control here is tighter, as a result, hundreds of thousands of people are trapped in the empty city, not to mention the food is as tight, even if there is a little food stock, it will soon be empty.
Originally, there were a few large families who had a little more food in stock, but they were all kind-hearted people and had already taken it out. Cook it into gruel and give it to the citizens who are dying.
As a result, even if they boiled gruel, they quickly ran out, and then these rich families also joined the ranks of the hungry.
The head of the head of a wealthy family, Dong Shancheng, known as Dong Shanren, once found Zhizhou Gu Yu and asked him to open the official warehouse to relieve the hungry.
However, it had no effect at all.
Gu Yu not only rejected him. also sarcastically mocked him for having ulterior motives. I want to take this opportunity to buy people's hearts and minds, with bad intentions.
Dong Shanren, who has never lost his temper, was so angry that he broke off his friendship with him on the spot!
Before this, the two had a very good personal relationship.
In fact. Gu Yu is a rake. The grain in the official warehouse was originally for the military and civilian emergency relief. So many people have died, of course, it has reached the critical juncture of 100,000!
If he doesn't have this ability to judge, he still knows what state!
In fact, he doesn't have any positions to open at all!
The grain in the official warehouse has long been stolen by him!
So. He had no choice but to refuse Dong Shanren's request to open a position.
The secret was revealed later when his crimes were revealed in depth.
Dong Shanren had no choice but to return home, gather a few families who did good deeds together, held a meeting, and decided to take out everything that could be eaten and eat it, and if there was no rescue, he would die with everyone.
So, they gathered all the seeds that were left behind, the farm animals that could never be moved, the police dogs that guarded the homes, and the war horses that the guards rode and ate some of them every day.
This time, the porridge and soup were even thinner, and they could only barely survive the starvation.
In the end, everything was eaten.
There was no way anymore, and it was strictly forbidden to escape, so I had to wait for death.
Death came swiftly on these people, first of all, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, who became the first corpses.
Then there are those who are strong and strong, and they become old, weak, sick and disabled.
The next step is death.
At this time, the heavenly army came, and it continued to survive.
Fortunately, thanks to the concerted efforts of these good families, they advocated good deeds and tried their best to help the emergency, so that 50% of the residents of this city could survive.
After Mai Ke entered the city, he immediately launched a life-saving operation, and 100,000 people were in a hurry.
He sent out all the soldiers of the Heavenly Army, not only those veterans, but also the 21,000 new soldiers who had descended from Tongbai Mountain.
Although these people are not as experienced as those veterans of the Heavenly Army, most of them are locals and are more familiar with the surrounding situation, so the combination of new and old is still good.
As the old Chinese medicine doctor who was killed said, their illness is easy to cure, and two bowls of porridge are good.
The remaining half of the population was just out of extreme hunger, and Mai Ke asked all the people to give them half a four-season fruit bowl and a bottle of life river water.
After eating, these people basically recovered, at least out of the shadow of death.
An hour later, they were each given a bowl of fruit for the four seasons and a bottle of water from the River of Life.
After eating, they returned to normal and were alive and well!
These survivors are already at the age of being alive and vigorous.
The first thing they are anxious to do when their lives are regained is to go to those corrupt elements to settle accounts, take revenge on those who have revenge, and avenge those who have been wronged.
It is estimated that each of them, in the time when they were helpless and waiting for death, I don't know how many times they dreamed, if they had the opportunity, they must eat the flesh and skin of these ink-greedy people!
Now that God is willing to do so, how can they not seize the opportunity?
For Mai Ke, the real challenge is those who appear to be dead but still have signs of life.
Those people in the front, relying on those Heavenly Army soldiers, can basically turn them into safety, but these people in the back mainly rely on the spirit rhino to move.
These people must first be found, and then it must be determined whether they still have a chance of survival.
Once the spirit rhino moved and gave them a diagnosis and treatment, if it was decided that they could still be saved, what followed would be treatment.
And the ability to treat the rhinoceros is also unimaginable to manpower.
As long as the head is not lost, or the key organs are irreparably damaged, the spirit can basically be saved with a single move.
As for these starving people, if they are just starving to death, and their brains and key organs are not rotten, they all fall within the scope of being able to be saved by a single move.
After a rigorous inspection by Lingxi, the results came out.
Thirty percent of those who account for 50 percent of the total population and have been declared dead according to normal standards can be saved!
Mai Ke was overjoyed when he heard this. Immediately ask the spirit to move and start saving people!
At the same time, he also prepared a number of first-aid teams to follow Lingxi's movements, as long as Lingxi moved to pull those people out of death, he would immediately take over and carry out follow-up recovery work.
To be able to achieve this process, Mai Ke can only be satisfied to a limited extent.
If it weren't for the resolute intervention of the Heavenly Army, 100% of the population would have died, and it would have died.
Now, fifty percent have stopped moving towards death. Sancheng was dragged back from death. In total, seventy percent of the people were exempted from the threat of death.
At this point, the matter of the city of Yiyang Prefecture has come to an end.
However, Mai Ke still didn't have time to catch his breath!
There are also surrounding counties, county-governed townships, townships, and villages!
Under the rule of this corrupt Gu Yu, the same disaster befell all the people of Yiyang Prefecture.
For Mai Ke. Those hungry people scattered in counties, townships, villages, and villages. He also needs to hurry up and save his life.
This task is even more daunting. Not only is it crowded, but it is also geographically dispersed.
Through the four-layer map, Mai Ke has already checked it clearly. Yiyang Prefecture has 10 counties, with a total of more than 200 townships and 3,200 villages.
The total population is about three million people.
In other words, the death rate of this great disaster of Gu Yudao zhì was as high as 17 out of 100 people.
Of the 500,000 who died, if Mai Ke's rescue efficiency in Yiyang City was followed, about 300,000 people could return to their deaths.
In order to save the lives of these 300,000 people, and to prevent more people from continuing to die, Mai Ke fought hard!
In one go, he sent 20 regiment-level formations, two regiments in each county, to take the heavenly train to deliver four seasons of fruits and rivers of life to the hungry people there, and to bring out those villagers who were struggling on the death line, so that they could all be freed from the threat of death.
Mai Ke shuttled non-stop through the ten counties, asking the spirit rhino to show his skills and drag back those who had crossed the death line but had not gone too far.
Although the matter here made Gu Yu a mess, Mai Ke still saw the positive side.
This is the foundation of the Manchu Qing Dynasty that it destroyed, not only the main force of the Qing army, but also the Heavenly Army, and those big families and scholars who have the most headaches for Mai Ke have been deprived of vitality by this famine and have no strength to compete with the Heavenly Army.
Even if they have the strength, it is estimated that they will not have the will to compete with the heavenly army!
Because not only everyone was saved by the army of heaven, but even the family itself was also saved by the army of heaven!
If the heavenly army does not come, these big families will at most die later than those poor people.
Those scholars originally paid attention to the wind and bones, and the scholars who did not have the wind and bones were basically worthless.
Now the Heavenly Army has actually saved everyone, not only the people, but also themselves.
Therefore, even if they talk about the backbone, they should fully support the Heavenly Army, because the Heavenly Army is the king of the people and the crime!
Then again, even if the Celestial Army didn't have these life-saving graces, they would be more representative of the Han people than those Manchus, right?
Therefore, if it is not for the interests involved, if it is objectively selected according to the wind and bones, the Heavenly Army will be their best choice.
Take 10,000 steps back and say that they should not support the Manchus either.
Therefore, the heavenly army sent out by Mai Ke can be expected to have no major obstacles, and it should be regarded as a love for the people.
After a quick turn around the ten counties, Mai Ke returned to the Yiyang Prefecture Ya, where Gu Jiaxing and Guo Songtao were the trial center.
Since he wants to eradicate corruption, Mai Ke decided to suppress corrupt officials and their various accomplices with great fanfare!
Let those who are greedy for ink get a memory that will never be forgotten.
If only they can survive this crackdown.
Mai Ke will not give those corrupt elements who commit crimes in his hands a second chance!
For the vast majority of people, their destination is death!
For those corrupt elements who are relatively light and escaped, Mai Ke has prepared a big blacklist for them, which will never be used!
If you have the talent to amass money, go to hell and show it.
Therefore, Mai Ke's policy towards corrupt elements is basically two: one is to be immediately executed, and the other is to be reformed forever!
Along with the two direct, there are two policy provisions that are directly related to the individual corrupt elements.
One is going back forever.
That is, even if this corrupt element steps down, even if he returns to his hometown. Even if it is buried in loess, as long as it is determined to be corruption, the ill-gotten gains obtained illegally must be recovered and returned to the victims, or the government will keep them on behalf of them and use them for the public welfare of the weak and small people.
The other is kinship.
Unless the corrupt person in question proves that he has cut off the practice of "one person attains the Tao, the chicken and the dog ascend to heaven", and his family members and relatives have not benefited from his corruption. His close family and friends were among those under investigation. Once it is determined that additional benefits have been obtained from corruption, they will be confiscated, and at the same time, the parties' participation in the process will be evaluated, and if there is active participation in the corruption behavior. It is regarded as a co-defendant of corrupt elements.
Then such relatives and friends are treated the same as corrupt elements.
Tong guò two provisions. Mai Ke sued the corrupt elements. It also warns those future corrupt elements who are ready to move, if you want to transfer your property, you will be fine if you want to escape a storm. That's just wishful thinking!
That is, it has been hidden for a hundred years, and the things you caused are still on your back.
Even if you transfer your ink-hungry people's fat and people's ointment to your goddaughter, you will also have to recover it.
So, Mai Ke found Guo Songtao and Gu Jiaxing together to exchange views on the relevant period.
Mai Ke first praised Gu Jiaxing's righteous killing of relatives, and he was unrelenting in his punishment of Gu Yue.
"Hmph! This is still cheaper for him! If it is a family service, he will be punished more severely. Gu Jiaxuan said hatefully.
"I'm curious about this, is it more painful than this Ling Chi?" Mai Ke's curious baby mentality flourished again for a while.
He said in his heart, if there is really a particularly good method, he might as well try it when he forces the enemy to confess in the future.
"Let's talk about one or two things. Gu Jiaxuan said casually.
"Let's just talk about Ling Chi - if you cut a piece of meat in half and cook it over fire, will it add some pain?" Gu Jiaxuan looked at Mai Ke and said.
Mai Ke suddenly felt a tightness in his spine, who was so strange that he came up with such a bad move?
"Also, after a few pieces of meat have been removed from different parts of the body, sprinkle the wound with salt to keep it fresh, and you can do it without salt, so you can have something sweet!
After sprinkling sugar, you can let the ants try how sweet it is! You can also put chili noodles ......" Gu Jiayu seems to have opened a grocery store, and there are still a lot of goods.
"Okay! Sure enough, there are so many tricks! It seems that your nephew is really better here than at home. Mai Ke himself was shocked when he heard it.
"But no matter where he is, or at home, he can't escape my hands. Gu Jiaxing sighed.
"What, it seems that your brother is still in charge of family affairs?" asked Guo Songtao curiously.
"Yes, I'm the current patriarch. ”
"It's no wonder. Mai Ke said: "When I am free, I will go to Brother Gu's house to see those family laws." ”
Mai Ke then mentioned a few main principles that he had in mind, so as to crack down on corrupt elements.
"I agree!" Gu Jiaxing and Guo Songtao unanimously agreed.
Seeing that Mai Ke proposed a heavy measure that was highly consistent with the ideas of the two, both of them felt very wonderful, as if they had discussed it in advance.
As a result, the anti-corruption law of the Kingdom of Heaven basically has a framework.
There are basically two aspects to this framework.
On the one hand, there are two ways to deal with corruption.
There are two ways to deal with it: immediate death, and eternal dismissal.
There are also two policies: one is to go back forever, that is, corrupt elements are always under attack.
The other is kinship, and when you become a relative or friend of a corrupt element, you will get the benefits of the chicken's and dog's ascension to heaven, but you must spit out the illegal gains! No matter how far the kinship is, and no matter what daughters and granddaughters are relatives or do things.
Then the three of them discussed how to execute Gu Yu and Tu Tao.
Ling Chi's execution is certain, but who will kill Ling Chi, how many knives Ling Chi has, and where he will be executed need to be determined.
Mai Ke expressed his considerations.
Since the kingdom of heaven does not generally punish in this way, but decides to adopt this outdated method inside and out, it is only because the anger of these two fellows is too great for them to settle their grudges, then let the persecuted people inflict the punishment.
"It's all here, can't it be 1.8 million knives?" Gu Jiaxuan said in surprise.
"That's not necessary! Each village can nominate a representative. It is possible to give 10 places in one county, and 10 counties are 100 deputies; but when the execution is carried out, anyone can come and participate! Not only people from Yiyang Prefecture can come, but people from other prefectures can also come! Not only can they come. We also want to ask them to come and encourage them to come!"
"Mai Ke, this is trying to achieve the goal of killing two birds with one stone, right?" Guo Songtao said with a smile.
"That's right! Which two birds? Brother Guo might as well talk about it. "Mai Ke is a little depressed in his heart, this person is too smart, right?
"The first bird, that is, don't care about the execution, or watch from the sidelines, you make them feel that the great revenge is avenged, the great revenge is avenged, and they feel comfortable, and then they are grateful, and the object of gratitude is the kingdom of heaven.
These two birds. Naturally, I got it. That is the support of the kingdom of heaven, and these people who are in a good mood will inevitably burst out with great power, and then the kingdom of heaven will have the strong support of these people. The entire Uiju of three million people will become your reserve arsenal. ”
Mai Ke laughed when he heard this: "It's not bad at all." Brother Guo, who knows me!"
"And a bird! Your reputation has skyrocketed. Since then, it has been like the sky!" Gu Jiaxing also came to join in the fun.
"Each other! The prestige of the two of you to sweep away corruption will also be famous, and those corrupt people will be terrified!"
The three of them laughed.
Saving people and sweeping corruption are really very meaningful work!
So everyone was sure. The sentencing conference was held this evening.
At the same time, notify everyone in advance that after the verdict, it will be the execution!
Except for the two culprits, the other death row criminals were simple, and they all cut off their heads with a knife.
However, there were many of them, including those Qing soldiers, errand soldiers, and corrupt officials at all levels, together there were about 3,000 people, so they were divided into two execution grounds.
In fact, there were two execution tables, on either side of the main table.
The task of each execution table was to hack to death 1,500 death row inmates.
And the execution table in the middle is responsible for the execution of Gu Yu and Tu Tao.
Each county is required to nominate ten deputies to work together, so as to ensure that everyone's hatred is overcome and that the families and people who are persecuted by them will feel comfortable.
Because the three-in-one hub project has already been paved in all counties of the state, the news of this sentencing and execution meeting has spread to every village in the state through the broadcasting system attached to the project system, and the person in charge of the heavenly army there will naturally do a good job in selecting and transmitting it.
As for the people in the surrounding state capitals, Mai Ke encouraged everyone to invite them to come, at least to spread the news widely, as far away as possible.
If they want to come to the main city of Uiju, they can take the train to each village and come with the locals there.
One stone stirs up a thousand waves.
The 2.7 million people in the whole state immediately became agitated, and everyone racked their brains in order to compete for the 100 places.
There are too many bitter and bitter people!
There are at least 1,000 people in a county, which is very suitable to act as a delay operator.
In the end, Mai Ke had to take two measures to settle the matter.
One of these measures is to send representatives of the families with the most deaths, based on the number of deaths in the family, which is the final number of deaths.
Whoever is saved is to be deducted from the last number of deaths.
When people die and are resurrected, the hatred value is naturally reduced, and the urgency of revenge is not as high as in families with many dead people.
You can't just fight for a place and hope that your family will come back to death.
Another measure was to double the number of people in each county, from 10 to 30 in each county, and from 100 to 300.
At the same time, Maike also added two supplementary provisions.
Among the deputies of various counties, there must be a quota of those landlords who have squandered their wealth for their righteousness, and the proportion should not be less than 10 percent.
If there is a family with a death of 100 people and not including 30 people, no matter how many, it must be put on the rack, and there is no limit of 30 people.
After these adjustments, the counties were finally completed, and the total number of people was 520.
The number of people has increased so much, which makes Guo Songtao and Gu Jiaxing worried.
These people are all bitter and bitter, and if they are not strictly controlled, I am afraid that the first person will be stabbed to death with a knife.
So the two specially recruited two retired executioners and asked them to guide and restrain these people.
In addition, it is also stipulated that the location of these people's knives is the place where the skin is thick and the flesh is thick, and the vital parts are left to experienced professionals.
As soon as noon, spectators arrived from all over the world.
Although Mai Ke said that each county has sub-venues, and you can see the live broadcast, most of them can come to the main venue.
Towards evening, the main venue was already packed, with about two million people gathered, half of whom were from the state and the other half were guests from nearby states and counties.
Three hundred meters away from the venue, the Celestial Army set up a reception station, where everyone could go to receive the Four Seasons Fruit Bowl and bottled River of Life water.
At six o'clock, the conference started on time!
Mai Ke, Guo Songtao, and Gu Jiaxing walked to the rostrum together.
The three of them spoke together: "The first anti-corruption judgment conference of the Kingdom of Heaven starts now!"
Mai Ke took a step forward: "I am Mai Ke, the head of the kingdom of heaven, and now read out the anti-corruption decree of the kingdom of heaven!"
Then he announced each of the four articles he had drawn up.
Then he retreated, and Gu Jiaxuan on the left took a step: "I am Gu Jiaxing, the anti-corruption envoy of the Kingdom of Heaven, and announce the verdict of the three thousand villains below! According to the anti-corruption order of the Kingdom of Heaven, they are extremely heinous, and they are innocent of death, and if they don't kill them, it is not enough for the people to be angry, and they will all be executed!"
Guo Songtao on the right also took a step forward and said: "I am Guo Songtao, the anti-corruption envoy of the Kingdom of Heaven, and announce the verdict of Gu Yu and Tu Tao, the main culprits of this corruption! According to the anti-corruption order of the Kingdom of Heaven, these two people are extremely evil, and they are especially innocent of death, and it is not enough for the people to be angry, in order to uphold justice and let the deceased get the revenge, immediately cut the two with a thousand knives!"
Then, the three shouted in unison: "Execution!".
(To be continued......)
