Chapter 210: Cross-examination
readx;
The official road connecting Jinghu South Road and Guangnan West Road was crowded with fleeing people, turning this hard dirt road, which was not very wide, into a one-way street. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Xiangshui runs through the whole road from Dongting Lake, and extends to the territory of Jingjiang Prefecture, and it is thanks to this river that the people can have a bite to eat and drink on the road.
And the survivors, after seeing the tall city walls of Jingjiang Mansion, no longer have any excitement on their faces, numbness, laissez-faire, and have become labels on most people, because they have abandoned their homes, have no long things, do not know what the road ahead is, and do not know where the hope is.
The tall walls didn't give them much security, and the gaze of the local people was even more disturbing, and no one wanted others to come to their territory to grab food, but just under the walls, a quick and stern word broke the silence.
"Seventeen people, including Hengzhou Charge, Record, Poster, and Soap Li, take it!"
"Twenty-three people, including Yongzhou envoys, secretary offices, and yacha, take it!"
"Statewide ......"
......
Officials and the common people will never be piled together, and in this flow of people, those officials who wear the uniforms of the imperial court, act with great swagger, and always look at others, seem to be more conspicuous than a few foreign officials, and these words, without exception, are directed at them. When those soldiers of the forbidden army who were like wolves and tigers and had bright armor slipped out of these people one by one from the other side according to the list, their brains turned quickly, and they all understood that this was going to settle accounts after the autumn, and they suddenly collapsed on the ground, and their heads were not very good, and they were still shouting in vain that they were wronged or something, hoping that their own head officials could say a word.
Along the way, several chief officials along Jingnan Road, except for Hengzhou Shouyin Gu who led troops to Tanzhou to help guard, the rest of the states, some came to Guangxi, some disappeared, and the largest of them did not reach Wupin, not to mention a group of magistrates, they know very well what these people are for, and the matter has something to do with them more or less, it would be good to be able to get rid of it, and no one would be stupid enough to take the initiative to get involved.
"Fujun, county honor, you say something, this is all a rule, and the little ones didn't swallow it privately...... a few shouters didn't finish their words, they were pressed down by the sergeant on the side, "snapped", pulled their jaws off, and could only hum with their mouths open, "ahhhhh
"Are you all done?" A man who looked like a man seemed to be their leader, and when he saw that they were all pulled out, he didn't struggle anymore and shouted, so he turned his head and asked, and beside him stood a man dressed as an ordinary person, who was taking out a small notebook, and comparing them with those people.
"It's done, let's execute it" The man finished counting, and when he saw that there were no mistakes or omissions, he nodded at him.
Dutou received the instruction, raised his hands without hesitation, twisted the sergeants of those people in pairs, pressed the people into an upright kneeling shape, and then came up from behind them a five-year-old and three-thick executioner, who was accustomed to being a good hand in the yamen, and did not insert a mark, nor did he declare any crime, so he carried a half-man-long ghost head knife and cut it down according to his neck.
"Grunt" dozens of heads rolled on the ground for a while, whether it was the fleeing people or the local people, their faces turned pale with fright, and those officials with a bit of identity were even more trembling with their legs and their faces colorless, what is this doing? Liwei, who to show it, it will never be those docile and docile people!
The execution of prisoners in the Great Song Dynasty is not like in the later images, Bao Longtu shouted, the dragon head fell directly, and the corpse was separated, which was very happy, but it had to go through a very complicated review procedure. In particular, major and important cases have to go through more audits, and often prisoners will live in prison for several years, maybe one day they will be able to meet amnesty or the like, and they will be exempted from capital crimes, and they actually kill dozens of people at a time in broad daylight, without appeal, without going through the three divisions, in broad daylight, in full view of everyone, and all of them are officials.
What's even more ridiculous is that it was the forbidden army of Guangxi Road who killed people, but it was the people of Jingnan Road who died, what is this going to do? No one dared to think about it.
Everyone stared at the corpses in amazement, until their family members suddenly reacted, and when they were crying and about to pounce, they were stopped by the surrounding Praetorian sergeants behind the knives and guns, and the man looked at them and frowned inadvertently.
"Family members are imprisoned, stolen goods are recovered, and those who cannot be recovered are exiled and must not be registered, and those who are too young are to be handed over to the government for adoption and registered in a separate register." At least it was small, he didn't say, he didn't ask, he raised his hand in that direction, and the sergeant who was in charge of the execution parted the crowd and escorted all the weeping family members in the direction of the city.
When the matter was almost done, the man took the pamphlet into his arms, raised a loudspeaker at his feet, and stood there to start a new round of agitation and propaganda.
"Folks, no matter where you come from, when you enter the territory of Guangxi, you must abide by the rules here, needless to say the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, we still have our own rules here, if you can't keep them, you can go anywhere you want, but please leave Guangxi Road."
"There are not many rules, only a few, but you must listen to them and remember them, otherwise you will lose your head one day, and don't come to shout wrong." In the same way, the man will say it several times a day, and these rules are not only to restrain foreigners, but also to locals.
"Bully, kill!"
"Corrupt and pervert the law, kill!"
"Bullies of women and children, kill!"
"Collusion with the Tartars, kill!"
......
There is no judicial interpretation, there is no room for commutation or leniency, simple and rude terms, coupled with the dozens of corpses on the ground with separate heads and blurred flesh and blood, the shocking effect is self-evident. Gone!
The Yuan people are approaching, the troubled times are coming, the people are most afraid of not the war, but the loss of order, which means that personal safety is not guaranteed, the world of the jungle, the law has long lost its restraint, and only such a strong order can maintain a basic stable situation, those Jinghu people who have personally experienced the war, have more experience of this, they show not fear, but a kind of relaxation, the kind of ease that has been sheltered again.
For some, the meaning is completely different, especially the beneficiaries of the old order, the bureaucratic gentry who supported the rule of the Great Song Dynasty.
"Which yamen are you, how dare you act so boldly!"
Before the crowd of onlookers had dispersed, they heard an angry rebuke, and a group of people with neat crowns and hurried steps rushed from the direction of the city gate, and the people at the head were old and angry, and when they saw the corpses on the ground, and heard the orders that the man had just said, they couldn't help it, and their hands trembled uncontrollably.
"Who is the Honorable Driver?" Although he looked at the menacing people who came, the man was unmoved, and stood still and asked.
"Presumptuous, this is the transfer envoy Deng Gong of this road, and he hasn't stepped forward to see him." One of the servants shouted.
The man glanced at him coldly, and hugged his fist at the old man led by him: "It's rude, isn't Cao Si located in Wuzhou, why did Deng Yuanjun come to Fucheng?" ”
If it was the early years of the dynasty, the marshal minister was not permanent, and the transfer envoy was the one with the highest power and responsibility along the way, not to mention that he was a white body, even the chief official of the state government categorically did not dare to speak like this, but the old man at the head of the country had a pale face, and he couldn't answer.
"Who are you, who dare to openly proclaim the system here, and execute so many officials without justice, Zhong Xian, do you know about this matter?"
What he asked was Zhong Dao, who was the official affairs of the criminal prison mentioned by Benlu, where would he know about this kind of thing, no one even knew what kind of case it was, the Criminal Investigation Department was actually a judicial review department, and it did not have its own prison and public court, and if the file was not handed over to him, there was no way to start at all.
"Tell me, whose orders did you have to do this?" Zhong Dao had no choice but to come out of this.
"Xiaguan is the new subordinate of the Yisi Division, the Guangxi Road Guangou, on the orders of the Shangguan, here to proclaim the people, in order to reassure the people, as for these people, all of them are moths found out by the state capitals in Jingnan, according to the law, that is, the military law, there is no need to report to the Xiansi."
Military! The old man's eyes narrowed suddenly, when can military law override the law? This reminded him of the things that the dynasty tried to restrain in every possible way, his eyes swept over these unruly soldiers, and the momentum in his heart suddenly became a little shorter, with his identity, what is the use of theorizing with these people?
"This official has never heard of any chances, when was the imperial court set up, who is your superior, ask him to come to see this official."
For his words, the man just turned a deaf ear, joking, they only need to be responsible for Liu Yu alone, who will care about these officials, not to mention a transfer envoy, even to the ruling minister, these people will not pretend, if it weren't for the sake of being an official all the way, the man would not bother to pay attention to him at all, and he still has a lot of things to do.
This silence was naturally regarded as contempt by the other party, and before the old man's anger burst out, a calm and powerful voice appeared at the right time, interrupting the confrontation between them.
"Duke Deng, when you arrive in Fucheng, you can't enter the door, is it because Ma didn't greet him in person, so he was neglected?"
The old man, who was still angry, suddenly changed his face, a little sneering, and no longer had his previous momentum.
