Chapter 41 Concealing the sky and crossing the sea can deceive the sky
Those who are guilty of capital crimes will be decided in three ways!
A small Qipin county decree only has the right to hear and petition for the death penalty, but does not have the right to decide on the death penalty. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Grace comes out from above, and punishment also comes out from above. Without the triage of the three divisions, the approval of the Criminal Department and the imperial pen of the Ming Emperor, who gave Mizhi County the right to kill people on a red errand?
Lichen knows a little bit of the rules of executing people in the Ming Dynasty, and he has never eaten pork and seen pigs run. It is a pity that most of the people in this era are illiterate, and under the deliberate obstruction of the government for hundreds of years, Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, on "If there is a "big zirconium" at home, the crime will be reduced by one degree" to encourage the people to know the law and abide by the law.
If the common people are familiar with the law, how can you let the officials use their power and oppress the people?
Lichen stood in the bustling crowd outside the court dressed as an ordinary person, inconspicuous. In the courtroom, there were all officers and soldiers with long guns and short knives, and the inner and outer three layers seemed to be "heavily guarded". On the execution ground, high wooden platforms have been erected. More than a dozen prisoners in white prison uniforms were bound up and knelt on a high platform. The unkempt hair cover is completely invisible. A tall wooden sign was inserted on the back of the neck, and a bright red circle encircled a huge word "chop".
After the dust consciousness swept over, his fingers pinched. Only then did I suddenly realize that I admired the courage of Mi Zhi, the county magistrate, even more.
"Talent!" Lichen had to admire the courage and infinite wisdom of this Mizhi County master.
The beggars on the high platform probably didn't know that they were just poor "scapegoats"! The county magistrate has indeed reported more than ten death sentences today, and the official document of the criminal department, the emperor's imperial approval of the death penalty approval will has also reached the county order.
The record of autumn and winter, all things are slaughtered. It is also the time to execute human traffickers and kill people with knives. It's just that the prisoners who can be executed according to the paperwork are not the people on the high platform!
The beggars were first executed in other people's names, and then the executions of the beggars were approved, and then the executions of the prisoners who were to be executed today were executed. If the above did not know before the two groups of prisoners were executed, and came to find out, who would know?
Above the execution ground, the winter wind hunts. The onlookers in the field turned into fog and froze into a dog. But it does not reduce the nature of "watching killing" in the slightest. Since Lichen knew the cause and effect, he didn't want to squeeze around in the crowd. Man Man walked into a teahouse next to the execution ground and waited for news.
Chinese love to see the lively attributes, it seems that the ancient hand-to-hand generation, from generation to generation is not easy. At this time, in the teahouse, it was already full of friends and occupied a good position, just waiting for this side to drink tea while carefully watching the scene of the drama of blood splashing.
There are several talismans pasted under the eaves of the gate of the teahouse. Qin Shubao and Wei Chigong will guard the gate. There is also a gossip mirror on the eaves of the door facing the execution ground in the lobby. The execution ground was furious, and the resentment of the deceased could not be eliminated. There is more wealth and disaster in the near blood, and the owner of this teahouse obviously already knows everything. At least this gossip mirror is not an ordinary thing, at least for hundreds of years. Ordinary people may not see anything, but only a good antiquity. What he saw was a faint aura, obviously from the hands of a master.
"Little Er, come to a single room, and serve a pot of good tea!" Shi Shi walked into the lobby and walked upstairs without saying hello to the shopkeeper.
Lichen walked to the teahouse, only to find that many people here had "official spirit" on them. At this time, they were gathered in small single rooms, cursing or gritting their teeth at the execution ground, or talking about the execution ground with great revenge.
It is estimated that those who came here were probably the "victims" of the Yin soldiers who borrowed silver that night! But Lichen still didn't know that these officials who read poetry and books were so vindictive! It seems that there are many people involved in this "execution" incident! It is estimated that it has become a tacit decision of the leadership collective!
No wonder Mizhi County Commander has such a big courage!
The single rooms in the teahouse are all open with a small window on the side of the execution ground, which is probably specially set up for the "officials" to do their best. The owner of this teahouse is very good at making "dead people's money"!
Just when Lichen had just sat down and began to listen carefully to the whispers of the people around him, Xiao Er had already come over with tea.
Tea is good tea! It's just so expensive. After dusting down a small ingot of silver, Xiao Er said goodbye with a smile on his face and left. Before noon, it was already a drum. seemingly
The officials of Mizhi County hated themselves and those beggars! At noon, the knife was divided and beheaded, so that the prisoner could do it. The knife was opened at three o'clock in the afternoon, but the condemned prisoner didn't even have to do ghosts!
"You said that these beggars have such great ability to steal such a large sum of silver. In the midst of the heavy guards, the place of deep guard. It was able to make so much gold and silver disappear. And it seems that the whereabouts of this large sum of money are unknown until now. Why didn't the county zun continue to investigate, but instead killed these people? In the next room, it was obvious that several young people of the "second generation of officials" were gathering together and talking quietly.
It's not that they are polite and don't make noise. But at this time, although everyone in Mizhi County has a little relationship, they still belong to the topic of "harmony", and it is easy to talk about it, and the water meter will be checked!
"Shh Another person next door opened his mouth to stop the little friend and said, "My father knows about this." It is said that someone used the Five Ghost Handling Technique to steal it. Otherwise, why do you think a thief could have lost such a large sum of gold and silver without knowing it? Thousands of pounds, people have to be crushed to death! ”
"Ahh The crowd next door was babbling. Obviously, this topic immediately attracted the interest of even the young people who knew the results earlier.
"Those beggars have such a magical skill? So how could they get caught? With such a powerful spell, how much gold and silver do you need, and you still have to be a beggar? "Someone next door was suspicious.
"I heard that these beggars are just accomplices. What kind of spells are they going to do! It's just that the demon who used the "Five Ghost Carrying Technique", seeing that they are pitiful, let them escape without taking a large sum of silver! "Someone disdainfully said.
"Since God doesn't know it, the ghost doesn't know it. Escaped overnight, how could he be caught! Someone asked curiously.
"This poor man, rich and rich, is there anything that does not show off right away. Although the demon also told them to leave overnight, some people couldn't help it, and ran to the Zuichun Building overnight to have a good time, and they couldn't wait even a night. But such a large sum of silver, there are private notes on it! On the spot, let the ** son of Zuichun Building see it. Isn't their owner the warden of the county seat? Isn't this a self-defeating trap? The man next door obviously laughed with disdain at a group of beggars who "can't change the virtue of eating (harmonious)". (To be continued.) )
