Chapter 62: Please Enter the Pit (II)
"You are confused and mediocre, shielding your relatives, conniving at your relatives to commit murder and beating the victim, and even abusing the official punishment for personal use! Violated the order of change and took the power to try his wife's case, come on, give me fifty heavy responsibilities first! Lu Ning spoke, and two guards came in the morning, and they were going to press Liu Ding down.
The officials were stunned.
According to the law of the Tang Dynasty in the previous dynasty, "the juju prison officials and the juju people have five internal relatives, and the marriage family of the great merit or above, and the practitioner is the governor of the headquarters, the assassin history, the county order, and the person who has a grudge", are all among the replacements.
The promotion of the Yuan Dynasty in this dynasty will inherit the Tang Law and the system of substitution.
Those who violate the replacement system will be punished with 50 lashes according to Tang Law.
However, in the case of the Southern Tang Dynasty, the implementation of this exchange system has not been strict, not to mention that the Emperor of Shangao is far from Quanzhang Erzhou, which is in a semi-independent state.
No one expected that this Donghai Duke suddenly moved out of this change order that everyone had almost forgotten to punish Liu Ding's crime.
Du Baoku, a judicial member of the army, hurriedly stepped forward and bowed down: "Donghai Gong, please slow down, the order to change the push is difficult to implement in this dynasty......
Lu Ning frowned, "Shut up!" Under the rule of this father, there must be laws and regulations! ”
Du Baoku was reprimanded with a big red face, after all, he was also a gray-haired old man, and he was reprimanded like this by a young man, but he couldn't reply.
At this time, Liu Ding had been overthrown to the ground, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Donghai Gong, what if I accept your fifty boards?!" ”
Lu Ning sneered and ignored him.
The guard lay down his pants and slapped them with a bamboo board.
Liu Ding was a ruthless character, gritting his teeth and staring at Lu Ning with an angry face.
However, sometimes the pain of the flesh is not something that willpower can resist, and in the end, he still snorts occasionally in pain.
No one spoke.
How many officials present still don't know that Donghai Gong is deliberately finding fault today?
It's no wonder that if it's just a property dispute case and a civil case, even if someone wants to observe the record, it's enough to have Chen Taixing join the army, but now it's the judicial army and the record of the army have been left, it seems that Donghai Gong has long intended to make things bigger.
Mao's pretty face was angry, and her triangular eyes widened, watching her husband being beaten on the board, she wanted to speak several times, but she was stopped by Chen Taixing, who joined the army in the army.
Fifty boards down, Liu Ding's face was already pale in pain, and he was so painful that he was about to faint, so he could only lie on his stomach, and a doctor came in to treat his injuries, but it seemed that Donghai Gong still had something to say, and he didn't let people drag him down.
The doctor who took the medicine was naturally not Wang Jingxuan's wife, Qian, and she had not yet received official documents to perform her duties in the Donghai Mansion.
At this time, Wang Jingxuan had a strange thought in his heart, if his wife really used it in Donghai instead of a joke, he was afraid that the business would be very busy in the future, and he couldn't say it, so he would have to disguise himself as a man and show up?
I pondered in my heart, this Donghai Gong, don't look at his youth, he is really a ruthless character, his ancestral inheritance, it all depends on his old man, if he fails, it is better if he can escape north, if he can't escape, that is fate.
The plaintiff, Chen Jincai, was even more frightened and didn't dare to come out, he was a smart man, how could he not know that he was being used as a gun now? I regretted that my intestines were green, and I hated that I shouldn't be plucked by this Wang Jingxuan, and as a result, the civil case of dozens of dollars was getting bigger and bigger, and this Donghai Gong may not be able to stay here for a long time, and when Liu Dingqiu settles accounts in the future, he is afraid that he will be retaliated against ten times and a hundred times!
Wang Dalang, Wang Dalang, you hurt me!
Chen Jincai only wailed in his heart.
After Liu Ding was beaten, Lu Ning looked at Guan Yuan and said: "This dynasty is promoted to Yuange, and those who resist the change of orders and pervert the law will benefit from their cases, how should they be punished?" ”
Guan Yuan hesitated, and finally said: "It's equivalent to bending the law with money!" He memorized these articles by heart.
Lu Ning nodded slightly: "In this case, his wife has gained more than 34 times, which is equivalent to Liu Ding receiving 34 times of wealth and bending the law, how should he be punished?" ”
Du Baoku and Chen Taixing's faces changed drastically, and Liu Ding also raised his head suddenly, and hissed: "Donghai Gong! You're making a big fuss! ”
Guan Yuan saw Lu Ning staring at him, sighed in his heart, and said slowly: "One foot cane is one hundred, one horse plus one grade, fifteen horses twisted ......"
A horse, refers to silk, a horse, the official price is counted in copper coins is consistent copper coins.
That is to say, Liu Ding's crime is equivalent to accepting bribes for more than 30 times when the case was decided, and he made the wrong case and helped the bribe giver to benefit.
Lu Ning snorted coldly, "Put this Liu Ding in prison first, and then make a decision after reporting to the Criminal Department, I will not select the merit to be promoted for the position of Longxi County Commander." ”
The officials of Quanzhang and the two prefectures are all "recommended" to the Son of Heaven by the king of Jinjiang, and the so-called promotion is actually a good word, but in fact, it is to be directly appointed by the follower, and then reported to the center, just a formality.
And Lu Ning served as the assassin of Zhangzhou, and naturally got the power to act cheaply, otherwise, it takes too much time to appoint and dismiss an official and exchange official documents, but it will not be as efficient as staying effective, how can Lu Ning do this sand-mixing thing in Zhangzhou?
Du Baoku and Chen Taixing glanced at each other, and they were horrified in their hearts, this Donghai Gong seems to be muddy and unruly, but if he doesn't make a move, he will take down the most important magistrate in Zhangzhou, but this news must be spread out quickly, see how to deal with Brother Wang's stay!
Mao's face was even more miserable.
"I'm not convinced!" As the guards dragged him, Liu Ding shouted.
The big peach and the little peach looked at each other with smart eyes, both of them looked a little funny, why are they all this sentence?
Lu Ning suddenly said in his heart, there are many people who disagree with me, how old are you? However, after all, he didn't blurt out the skin.
looked at the Mao family again, and said coldly: "Liu Mao, you are arrogant and murderous, oppress the good, flog ten, and punish the big commandment!" ”
Liu Ding, who was being dragged out, immediately struggled to get up, and roared: "Lu Ning, you should die!" ”
Du Baoku and Chen Taixing were stunned, Du Baoku glanced at Mao, faintly, with some expectation in his eyes, but his face seemed to be shocked.
It's Guan Yuan, and there is also an unbearable look on his face.
"Donghai Gong, kill me!" There was a sense of determination on Mao's face.
Lu Ning waved his hand, "Pull it down, and the secretary will be punished, so that you don't have to be punished!" ”
Liu Ding, who had been dragged to the door of the hall and was desperately struggling with the threshold, heard Lu Ning's words, his anger seemed to be vented, and his body was weak and he was dragged away.
Du Baoku secretly glanced at Mao's eyes, the greedy look was gone, and he was full of energy.
Guan Yuan also breathed a sigh of relief.
I heard that the pawn secretary was tortured, and the pawn secretaries around Donghai Gong were all servants, although there were five big and three thick female men, but after all, they were not as strong as men, not to mention, these ten flogging punishments, the severity was a trivial matter, and women were punished, and the most feared thing was to go to their pants to be executed.
Nowadays, the customs and customs have become more conservative than in the previous dynasty, Mao is the wife of an official, and if he is executed in front of a bunch of men, it is really a great shame, and if he is fierce, then don't live.
Hearing that it was the "secretary of the pawn" who was tortured, Mao was stunned, the initial arrogance and the determination just now gradually gone, and under the signal of Xiao Mi Tao, he followed Xiao Mi Tao obediently, walked to the door of the hall, and looked back at Lu Ning deeply.
Lu Ning looked at Guan Yuan again, "Is there a mistake in this case?" ”
Guan Yuan bowed slightly, "The East China Sea Gong judged the case according to the law, and the severity was appropriate, and there was no mistake." Especially merciful in my heart, I bow to the officials! ”
Lu Ning knew that he was talking about Mao's flogging, and said with a smile: "You said that I ordered the women to be tortured, right?" This is called humanized torture! ”
The little peach turned around at this time, and the big and small peaches were accustomed to the owner's frequent spit out righteous words (nonsense), and they all smiled at each other, and quickly wrote down this word in their hearts.
Several officials, as well as Chen Jincai, the embarrassed "victim" who was originally the victim but was not the victim at all, and Wang Jingxuan, all heard it inexplicably.
Guan Yuan bowed and said: "Humanization, its meaning, the lower officials need to ponder." ”
showed mercy to Mao's subordinates, and Guan Yuan's impression of Donghai Gong suddenly improved.
Today, everyone knows that the Duke of Donghai is looking for faults, and Guan Yuan himself is also a mirror in his heart, but in Guan Yuan's view, if the court officials can find fault like the Duke of Donghai, why worry about the lack of clarity in the governance of officials? The provisions of the laws of the state are clear and clear, but in many cases, they become waste paper, which makes the official who has read all kinds of classics since he was a child very sad.
He now regrets it even more, some time ago, he shouldn't have followed the trend and didn't come to the office, when his father was alive, he always said that his ears were soft, and it seems that his father's evaluation of himself was very thorough.
Lu Ning's face was cold again at this time: "Guan Yuan, are you guilty?!" ”
Du Baoku and Chen Taixing were a little confused, this official Yuan, his brain was in water, he didn't know how to fall into the Gu, he touted the Donghai Gong, he had the reputation of a prodigy since he was a child, and the official eunuch family was already in his early thirties to join the army, but he was stubborn, saying that the nerd was too heavy, saying that he couldn't be a man, and he didn't understand the etiquette of his colleagues at all, and he was maverick.
However, the official family has been in Quanzhang and Zhangzhou for a long time, and it is the royal brother who stays in the public and has always treated the official yuan preferentially.
But I don't know why, this guy slapped the East China Sea stallion uncharacteristically, and he was shocked to lose his glasses.
What is even more speechless now is that this Donghai Gong, how can he be a bastard compared to him? Don't know how hard it is to get this guy to compliment? It's good that your old man was slapped by him, but he asked him if he was guilty or not?
Guan Yuan was slightly stunned and looked at Lu Ning in astonishment.
Lu Ning said coldly: "How to stipulate the system of Shengyuan grid inspection?" ”
Guan Yuan was startled, then understood, and his face was full of shame, "Xia Guan is guilty!" ”
Lu Ning said coldly: "Not only are you guilty, except for Changshi Cui Zhuo and Zhang Dingnan, who joined the army, you have not come to the government for more than a month!" ”
"What is the crime?!"
Guan Yuan quickly thought about it in his heart, and said in amazement: "A year and a half ...... apprenticeship"
Only then did Du Baoku and Chen Taixing understand what the two of them said, and their faces changed drastically.
The inspection system is equivalent to the official sign-in system, and the promotion of the Yuan Ge continues the Tang law, and for those who do not go to the government and are absent from work without reason, "those who do not go for no reason will be punished with 20 lashes a day, and one will be added to one and a half days for three days, and the crime will be punished for one and a half years." ”
That is, if you are absent from work for one day, you will be punished with 20 flogging, and then every three days will be added by one grade, in order of 30 flogging, 40 flogging, 50 flogging, 60 cane, 70 cane, 80 cane, 90 cane, 100 cane, one year of imprisonment, and one and a half years of imprisonment.
The maximum penalty is one and a half years in prison, and the maximum penalty can be reached by a total of 31 days of absence from work.
After calculating and calculating, it is exactly the thirty-second and third days ...... after Lu Ning's arrival.
Du Baoku and Chen Taixing hurriedly said: "The lower officials are waiting for a sick person, not for no reason!" ”
Lu Ning bowed slightly: "This prince has just come to this far-south barbarian miasma, and he is seriously ill when he performs his duties, and there is a Chinese medicine official in the government as evidence, why have you lived in the local area for a long time, and you have all contracted serious illness together?" Okay, the informant, tomorrow I will bring the doctor who treats you and others, and I will ask you one by one! If you deceive, you will be guilty of one more degree! ”
Du Baoku and Chen Taixing were speechless, oh, you have not been in the government to visit the king of Jinjiang, there is a reason, the medical officer, your house, the little life is in your hands, how can you say it?
However, if we want to find a doctor to be a witness, you have to ask them one by one, why doesn't this sound good!
Du Baoku and Chen Taixing both broke out in a cold sweat.
Suddenly, I have a feeling, this Donghai Gong is really absurd and promiscuous, so he doesn't go to the government every day and doesn't care about himself?
I'm afraid that he deliberately waited for more than 30 days, even if there was no barbarian attack, I was afraid that there would be trouble in these days.
Looking at the smile on Donghai Gong's face, both of them felt a little chill in their hearts,
The smile on Lu Ning's face looked at Guan Yuan, his face was calm, and he said: "You are also sincere, you can change your mistakes, this official is thinking about this, and he will be extrajudicial and grant you a ransom!" He smiled again: "If the money is not enough, my father-in-law can temporarily pay it on your behalf without collecting any interest." ”
Of course, a suitable reason is required, and the official agrees to hear the case and reports to the center, and the official can redeem the sentence, that is, the official is exempted from the sentence and the sentence is redeemed with copper, which is a special circumstance.
But now the Duke of the East China Sea naturally has this privilege.
And if you are sentenced to one and a half years in prison, the ransom is thirty catties, that is, thirty catties of copper.
Nowadays, copper is expensive, and the official price should not be higher than 200 wen per catty, and if copper items and pure copper are traded privately, it is common to pay a catty.
Lu Ning's words to Guan Yuan were sincere.
Guan Yuan bowed slightly: "In the lower official's house, there is still a ransom of thirty catties!" ”
Lu Ning nodded and looked at Du Baoku and Chen Taixing, "You will go back now, and within three days, the doctor who will treat you and other illnesses will be brought to me." He looked at Guan Yuan again, "Help me draft the decree and send the decree of this official to all the adjutant and officials in this state!" Go for yall! ”
Guan Yuan joined the army in this record, and it was his power and responsibility to issue this kind of official document, and he was busy receiving orders.
Du Baoku and Chen Taixing were even more busy and retired, and both of them were panicked in their hearts, so they naturally had to hurry to find the backbone and discuss how to deal with it.
Both of them were even more frightened in their hearts, this Donghai Gong, where is what kind of absurdity? From the first day of arrival, this is digging a pit and waiting for yourself to jump in?!
But who would have thought that this Donghai Gong was actually proficient in the law, and his set of logic such as jurisprudence seemed to be more attractive to well-educated people, and it should be a very great thought, so even the official Yuan, who was so proud of his learning, was fooled and lame, and he knelt and licked him like a horse......
This, where can I reason?!
