Chapter 740: There is no bottom line for miserable people
According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, knowing that not acting is equivalent to being an accomplice, so having the ability to stop the murderer from committing a crime but doing nothing, isn't this more serious than being a co-defendant?
"Don't think too much, there are many such murderous demon kings, Jiangxi Li Fulu kills people like hemp, and the people he kills can be piled up into a mountain, and he can't catch them now. Han Ziping is nothing compared to him. Lian Daning comforted.
This is true, there are many people on the rivers and lakes who kill more people than Han Ziping, and there are more bloody cases in the hands of those bandits and bandits, but besides, he has never seen those scenes with his own eyes, and what lingers in his mind is the bloody cases committed by Han Ziping.
In fact, it goes without saying that Li Fulu, that is, Li Fulu's sworn brothers, the Li family brothers and the Los Angeles Shuangjiao, are all murderous masters, and everyone may have more murders than Han Ziping, but they still have friendships with them, and the Li brothers have saved the lives of Zuo Ling and Xiao Nier.
But he knew that he knew them, and he did not hate them, because he did not know what murders they had committed and what blood debts they owed. Seeing is believing, and what you don't see is considered to be non-existent.
Along the way, the carriages and horses were dispatched, this time not only according to the inspection of the Yamen and Ying Tianfu, Zhongshan Wangfu was also dispatched, Wei Guogong took the little prince to walk in the front under the protection of a large number of guards, they were the earliest to receive the news, not reported from Liuhe County, but the secret agents arranged there by the Zhongshan Wangfu found it and immediately uploaded the report.
After the Nanjing Criminal Department and Dali Temple learned the news, they also sent cadres to investigate the scene, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate was not willing to be lonely, and sent a Du Yushi to supervise the officials to handle the case.
During the Ming Dynasty, although the cabinet was respected inside and outside the court, and the six ministries were respected by the officials, the power of the Metropolitan Procuratorate was still the highest and most extensive, and they had the highest supervision and law enforcement powers, and could supervise hundreds of officials, no one was an exception.
In the civil system, the supervision power of the imperial history is mainly carried out by various temporary official positions such as governor, patrol, and economic strategy, and the other is the supervision of all aspects of the annual brushing, pasting, money and grain audit, and official performance evaluation, and almost all major events must be supervised by the imperial history sent by the Metropolitan Procuratorate to ensure impartiality.
The more important task of the Imperial Procuratorate is to supervise the army, the imperial history supervision army is a major feature of the Ming Dynasty, although some emperors favor the eunuchs, to the eunuchs to supervise the army, but often criticized, and by the collective resistance of the ministers of civil and military affairs, the imperial history supervision army is the implementation of the Ming Dynasty has always been the system.
This was also controversial in later generations, and those who criticized it believed that the Imperial Historian had greatly hindered the right of army generals to command the army freely, and blamed the Ming Dynasty for not producing such a famous general as Yue Fei.
In fact, civilian officials command and supervise military attachés, and this is precisely a major feature of human civilization, and later generations claim to be the most democratic and free, and the country with a system that is 100 years ahead of other countries also resolutely implements the system of civilian leadership and military attachés, and military attaches are never allowed to act arbitrarily.
China has a painful lesson in this regard, the Tang Dynasty's feudal towns and five generations of warlords fought almost destroyed Chinese civilization, in Su Shi's words, "etiquette and righteousness were swept away".
Therefore, starting from the Song Dynasty, the authority of the military attache was strictly controlled from all aspects, and blind spots were never allowed, even so, in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, Gaozong crossed to the south, and the generals rebelled at every turn, and once even invaded the government office where Gaozong lived temporarily, which frightened Gaozong and left a lifelong regret. Gaozong's later wariness of the generals was inevitable, not entirely suspicious.
Yue Wumu's turmoil pavilion tragedy actually originated from this, with Yue Fei's status as the deputy envoy of the Privy Council and the crown prince at that time, it was by no means that the prime minister Qin Hui could kill if he wanted to, the Privy Council was the highest institution at the same level as the prime minister's Zhongshu Province, and Yue Fei's position was on the same level as the deputy prime minister.
Therefore, it is not objective to blindly blame the failure of the Ming Dynasty army on the imperial history supervision army, and the imperial history of the supervision army may have made mistakes, but the generals made more mistakes. Zuo Liangyu in the Southern Ming Dynasty did not have the constraints of imperial history, but became a full general, threatening the imperial court, and often had to "admonish the soldiers", and finally as soon as he died, his son surrendered to the Manchu Qing with more than 500,000 elite soldiers. The largest army, which had been cultivated by the people of Jiangnan, was like a gift on a plate to the conquerors of the north.
In the heavy rain, the convoy made its way and came to the village after an hour.
The villagers hid in the house and didn't dare to show their faces, not because they were afraid of these officials and gentlemen, but because they were afraid of the murderer, they all knew it now, and these two cases were not murdered by evil ghosts, but by murderers.
The magistrate of Liuhe County greeted these old men with three classes of officials and tolerances, and the magistrates now want to commit suicide by throwing themselves into the river. This is also too unlucky, why did the murderer commit crimes specifically in his jurisdiction, and there are many prefectures and counties next to him, why don't you go there.
Murderer Plague God, your sister, did I have a grudge against you in my last life?!
The magistrate of Liuhe County shouted with grief and indignation in his heart, he really wanted the murderer to kill him now, and he felt that he had no face to live.
After Wei Guogong got out of the car, he saw the expression of the county magistrate who was mourning, and his mood was also very heavy. Zhixian had been standing in the heavy rain for an hour, and he had already become a soup chicken, Wei Guogong patted him on the shoulder, indicating that he could not be blamed for this, it was going to rain and the mother wanted to get married, what could he do? This made him feel a trace of human warmth.
"Lord Guogong, the scene is even worse this time, don't go to see your old man. The magistrate persuaded in trepidation.
"It's okay, I've also seen the scene of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. Wei Guogong waved his hand, and then walked into the house where the tragedy occurred with the guards.
Later, the people from the prefect of Tianfu, the Nanjing Criminal Department, the Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate all followed.
Besides, he was stunned all the way, and he didn't rush to get out of the car when he got to the ground, Lian Daning saw that he was in a heavy mood, so he accompanied him in the car, anyway, the scene would not fly away, as for whether the scene, physical evidence, etc. would be destroyed, there was no clear concept at that time.
After a while, the people inside escaped one by one, as if they had bumped into a ghost, their faces were purple and blue, and they had an expression of seeing a ghost in the daytime. A few people found the open space and began to vomit, and it seemed that not only did they vomit overnight, but they even vomited bile.
After a while, a person was carried out, and it was none other than a Metropolitan Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Master Sun fainted. Someone exclaimed.
"What's wrong?" Lian Daning hurriedly got out of the car and asked the man who was following the stretcher.
The man's face was terrified, and he said in a trembling voice: "It's so miserable, it's like a reappearance of hell." Your Excellency, don't go in. ”
Lian Daning was relieved, he really thought that something had happened inside.
He had seen this kind of scene twice, the first time he vomited for three days, he had no appetite for seven days, he had not eaten well for a month, and the case had been weighing on his heart for nearly twenty years, becoming the subject of his nightmares at night.
"Rush to the doctor. Lian Daning commanded.
He did not have the slightest contempt for Lord Du Yushi, the officials were all literati, and they learned the knowledge from books, how could they have seen such a miserable image of hell.
"I'll take a look. ”
Besides, he got out of the car, walked to the stretcher, and then took out a golden needle and pierced several acupuncture points on Sun Du Yushi, and after a while, this Sun Du Yushi slowly woke up, and as soon as his eyes opened, he cried loudly.
The nearby catchers all showed pity after seeing it, these old men are not very down-to-earth, they either drink and write poems on weekdays, or talk to those warblers and swallows, where have they seen such a tragic scene.
The catchers have been out of various scenes, and even more bloody scenes have been seen, but such a miserable, weird, and depressing scene is also the first time in my life to see it, if it weren't for a certain psychological quality, they wouldn't be much better than this Lord Sun.
"Send Master Sun back to the city to have a good rest. Lian Daning commanded again.
The stretcher continued to walk, and then carried the childlike crying Sun Du Yushi into the car, and hurried back to Nanjing City after the carriage started.
"Five children, five children. Another man came out of it, still muttering the words in a crazy way.
"What?" and he felt as if he had been punched in the heart, and he bent down, almost out of breath.
"Five children are dead, five children. "This person is a chief official of Dali Temple, and his children and grandchildren are on his knees, and he can't stand this kind of blow.
"Master Lian, you must arrest the murderer, and then cut him with a thousand knives. The chief officer came to Lian Daning and pleaded, his face was full of tears or rain, but his expression was extremely solemn.
"Don't worry, this official is to give up everything, and he wants this murderer to repay the blood debt. Lian Daning hadn't entered it yet, and his heart was already trembling, and this time the case was even more miserable.
Besides, he still stooped down and squatted next to a car, and Wen Bin squatted down to accompany him. Two officials carried umbrellas for them.
"It doesn't matter, do you? or you don't go in for a while, I'll be with you outside. Wenbin whispered.
"No, I have to go in, you don't have to go in. My feet are already wet, and I'm not afraid to get soaked all over, but your feet are still clean, so don't get involved in this. Besides, he straightened up and said.
"I'm going to go in, I will inevitably encounter this kind of thing in the future, I can't always hide, now I see in advance, this tuition must be paid. Wen Bin said with a solemn face.
What he means is that when he becomes an official in the future, he will definitely encounter all kinds of bizarre cases, and it is better to see it late than early, and you can't hide it.
Lian Daning looked at the situation and walked over and asked, "What's the matter, it doesn't matter, right?"
"It's okay, it's just that I don't know what happened in my stomach just now, and it's like turning over the river and the sea, but now it's better. And said with a wry smile.
"Anyone who encounters this kind of thing will be abnormal, even if you have extraordinary concentration, you didn't do much last time, but this kind of thing has stamina, and sometimes it will affect people for a lifetime. Lian Daning has a deep understanding of this, and the original case has been with him for nearly 20 years, and it has always lingered.
