In the past dynasties, there have been some fierce people and even emperors, who asked their subordinates or ministers to share the meat of one of their sworn enemies to show their loyalty to themselves, because if they eat this person's meat, they will never defect to the other party's camp again. Li Kui in "Water Margin" even blatantly cut off pieces of meat from the people who framed Song Jiang alive and roasted them, without even adding seasonings.

Yuan Chonghuan of the Chongzhen Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty was sentenced to death, and the executioner cut off a piece of flesh from his body, and he didn't swallow his breath until 10,000 knives. There are really many people in Beijing who buy a piece of meat for one or two pieces of silver to eat, expressing their hatred for this "traitor" who led the Qing soldiers to besiege the city.

As for how to evaluate Yuan Chonghuan, I don't want to press it here.

Moreover, walking in front proudly, except for Zuo Ling, Xiao Nier, the dart master, and the family members followed closely, everyone else consciously kept a safe distance, lest he use a demon spell for a while and swallow himself.

There are more and more people following behind, saying everything, and the voices are boiling, if it weren't for those who catch fast and tolerate, these people may have already swarmed up, even if the medicine king knows how to demons, he can't stop these people's greedy desires.

When they arrived in front of the Yamen of Fengyang Mansion, the crowd gathered almost caught up with the scale of the public trial and judgment meeting of 10,000 people, and even many women and children came to have fun.

"Brother, you won't have anything to do, right?" Xiao Nier finally couldn't hold herself back, with a crying voice in her voice, regretting that she had to pull out to go shopping, she swore in her heart that as long as she passed this hurdle, she would not go out of the door in the future, and she would stay at home and stay by his side honestly.

"Nier, it's okay, when did you see when my brother had an accident? I have a way to deal with them, don't worry. Besides, he said lightly.

It would be false to say that he was not afraid at all, but he also had a trump card, that is, to take out the names of the two teachers, and the officials in the officialdom protected each other, and the disciples of the same generation should not be poisoned, as long as there is time, you can count on the little prince and senior brother to come to the rescue.

At that time, he was determined to be ruthless to the Li family, and he had already thought of a way out. Now, these dozen people were indeed not killed by him, and they have nothing to do with him, and he believes that as long as he finds out, Fengyang Mansion will not do anything to him.

Zuo Ling saw that Xiao Nier's expression was wrong, and hurriedly comforted: "Nier, don't worry, Fengyang Mansion is not Longtan Tiger's Den, I have notified the family, and someone will come in a while." ”

At the moment when Zuo Ling arrived at the arrest, he had already sent his family back to inform his father and brother that the Zuo family's power in Fengyang Mansion was deep-rooted, and it was not something that the Fengyang Prefect could dispose of casually.

Just Fengyang Mansion?

Xiao Nier muttered in her heart, this Miss Zuo's words are too exaggerated, the county officials are not as good as the current management, the Fengyang prefect is the soil emperor of the Fengyang territory. However, Zuo Ling's atmosphere still encouraged her, and she was willing to listen to and believe it.

Not long after, the door of the lobby of Fengyang Mansion opened, and a group of officials walked out, some holding water and fire sticks to suppress the masses, and some holding pieces of silent black and white signs, giving people a sense of solemnity and **.

"The old man ascended to the hall and brought the prisoner up. A voice inside shouted.

A group of fast catchers walked into the lobby with the others, and the fast catchers looked at them angrily and hatefully, besides, the criminals who have seen cattle, and have never seen such a cow, are more powerful than the master. Okay, wait a while and see how the master cleans you up.

Entering the lobby, the catchers separated from the others. Besides, now it's the main culprit, one person occupies a position, and the others stand in a pile, whether they are considered coercive or not, and they can only be concluded after the master asks, and the one who shouted that he is a demon was also brought to the lobby, which is considered a plaintiff.

If it is a lawsuit, the plaintiff needs to submit the complaint first, but now it is a homicide case, there is no need for it, what is needed is the confession of the witness and the evidence extracted at the scene.

Xiao Nier and Zuo Ling originally said that they would not be separated from the situation, but they repeatedly told them that there was nothing wrong, so they retreated to the side and stood in the middle of a group of people.

On both sides of the lobby are places where bystanders and witnesses stand, so-called circumstantial witnesses. There is only one seat for the prefect in the entire hall, there are no seats next to or below, and only the criminal department, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Dali Temple will be tripartite tripartite, and three seats will be set up in the lobby.

Not long after, the prefect of Fengyang Mansion walked out of the back door dressed in official uniforms, and the officials all shouted in deep voices: "Mighty." ”

Not to mention, ordinary people really don't have this kind of bass, this is specially trained, they don't care about anything else, just shouting mighty when the master is handling the case, the echo formed by the buzzing sound, hovering and permeating in the lobby, there is really an atmosphere of gods coming.

The three rising drums seemed to hit everyone's hearts.

The people standing in the lobby are all creepy, and the lighting in the lobby is actually good, but everyone feels that there is gloom and pressure in front of them, and they can't breathe, and their bodies are already a little trembling.

Behind the prefect's seat is a picture of the blue sky and the sea in the sky, indicating that this official is the same as Bao Zheng, whether this is the case, there is no doubt that there is only one Bao Zheng, or more than half of it is from folk romance.

The Ming Dynasty also really had a great lord of Qingtian, such as Peng Ze of the Wuzong Dynasty and Hai Rui during the Jiajing period, although his fame was not as great as his, his political achievements were only stronger than Bao Zheng.

After a series of procedures, the arresters first stated the facts of the case, but in fact they did not see anything, they could only state what they had heard.

"Oh, who's standing down there, give your name. The prefect of Fengyang was shocked and shouted loudly.

"Disciple Xu Ming, I have seen my husband's ancestral grandmaster. "Besides, don't be in a hurry, and step forward to make a move.

"Bold, when I arrived in the lobby, I saw the prefect, and I didn't kneel yet!" a servant scolded loudly.

"The disciple has a meritorious name...... Although he is not talented, he does not dare to insult the dignity of etiquette. "Besides, don't look at the fox and the tiger's officer.

"In this way, you are a famous talent, who is you, and in which grandmaster has you obtained the fame?"

When he heard that he was called a grandmaster, his heart was very happy. It is said that the grandmaster is the title that can only be used to learn the imperial history, but both the emperor and the officials of the Ming Dynasty just liked these titles, and the prefect became the grandmaster, and the imperial history rose and became the great grandmaster.

"Disciple Wuzhong, the head of the case in the hands of Master Lian here last year. "Now I don't dare to be modest, and quickly move out of the officialdom to rescue the soldiers.

"Ah, is it Lord Lian Daning Lian of Suzhou Prefect?"

"Exactly, the disciple does not dare to call the Lian Adult by his name, and I hope that the Adult will understand. ”

"It turned out to be a disciple of Brother Lian Nian, how good is this, this official can't help but talk about some affection. "The prefect of Fengyang saw that this scholar in the hall was knowledgeable and reasonable, and he had a good impression.

"Master, don't let him go, he's a demon. The "plaintiff" on the side shouted.

"Bold, did Master Ben ask you?"

One of the servants came up with a stick of fire and water and struck him on the knee, and the man immediately fell to his knees.

"When you go back to the master, you have to kneel, you think you are also a showman. The servant rebuked.

This person felt wronged, he was the plaintiff, why did the plaintiff have to kneel, the defendant not only stood, but also made friends with the master. How did he know that the people in the world are one family, and they are all from one sect, called Lijiao. Regardless of the endless party disputes among the literati, it is still necessary to maintain the dignity of the literati in public. What's more, the prefect of Fengyang has no grievances and no hatred.

"However, if you are a showman, you must abide by the laws of the court, don't think that because you have a meritorious reputation, this government will not be able to cure you. The prefect of Fengyang feigned anger.

"The lord is wise, the sky is above. The plaintiff below prostrated and shouted, as if he saw hope.

"The disciple is just a showman, how dare he not abide by the laws of the court, let alone say that he is a showman, even if he is a scholar, he must abide by the laws of the court. ”

"Exactly, exactly. If only you understood that. The prefect of Fengyang nodded again and again.

Lian Daning knew that he was a rising star official in this dynasty, and it was said that he was about to be promoted to inspect the history, and there were even rumors that he might be appointed to supervise the imperial history. If that's the case, you'll be under his jurisdiction too.

The division of administrative regions in the Ming Dynasty was different from that of later generations, and the original establishment of three municipalities directly under the central government, namely Beijing, Nanjing and Fengyang, Fengyang was also called Zhongdu, that is to say, the three capitals were directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. Later, the status of the central capital declined, and it was assigned to the administrative region of Nanjing, and Fengyang Mansion was also under the jurisdiction of Nanjing, and there was no Anhui province in the Ming Dynasty, and most of the area was assigned to Nanjing.

For example, Hunan and Hubei were classified as Huguang Provinces, and without Liangguang, how could there be a Huguang Province? That was because during the Yuan Dynasty, Liangguang, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Hunan were classified as one province, collectively referred to as Huguang Province.

Sichuan Province in the Song Dynasty called the four roads in Sichuan, the road is the Song Dynasty's administrative division law, the Tang Dynasty is generally called the road, such as Longnan Road, Longxi Road and so on. The two Han Dynasty are state-level systems, such as Qingzhou, Jizhou, and so on.

The term province also comes from the Yuan Dynasty, the previous dynasties did not, the province means the province of the book, the province is the administrative center of the imperial court, equal to the State Council of later generations, the meaning of the province is mobile, so the province is the central province of the province set up in the provinces of the office, which is equivalent to the rights of the provinces are returned to the central government, cancel the local autonomy of the Han Dynasty, Tang and Song dynasties.

During the two Han Dynasty, local officials had considerable rights, basically belonging to semi-autonomy, until the Tang Dynasty and Song Dynasty, although the right of local autonomy became smaller and smaller, but there was still this scale, and the division of feudal towns in the Tang Dynasty was also possible because of local autonomy. The Yuan Dynasty was a foreign race into the Chinese and implemented a tribal rule system, so it naturally did not trust local officials, so it adopted the practice of direct management by the central government of each province.

The Ming Dynasty continued to use the title of the province, but in the provincial administration, it was still the political envoy who held the power, which was essentially different from the provincial system of the Yuan Dynasty, but this title was used for a hundred years, and it was too lazy to modify it. Until the fall of the Ming Dynasty, the governor system was always only a temporary inspection on behalf of the Son of Heaven, not a formal provincial head.

In the Qing Dynasty, foreign races entered China, and the tribal system was implemented, and the governor became the official head of the provincial level, and returned to the original meaning of the provincial system of the Yuan Dynasty. During the Qing Dynasty, whether it was the central ministry or the local provinces, the first main position must be the Manchus, and no matter how good the Han people were, they could only be their deputies, which was the true meaning of the tribal system of the Qing Dynasty. It wasn't until Zeng Guofan swept away the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and actually pocketed the local rights that this political pattern was changed, and the provinces of the Qing Dynasty became the world of the Xianghuai army, and later there was the Beiyang system, and the warlords of all walks of life fought endlessly in the Republic of China, which all came down the line.
