After this incident, the Criminal Department soon began to work on the law of justifiable defense, as well as the relevant interpretation of excessive defense.

The promulgation of this law not only protects social interests and other legitimate rights and interests from illegal infringement, but also deters criminals from acting rashly, and encourages everyone in society to fight against the ongoing illegal infringement of justice.

This is the progress of the legal system of Daqin, and it is also a victory of justice!

Of course, only Li Yang understands that the most important significance of the advent of the law of justifiable defense is that in this era, the Great Qin Empire recognizes and protects the inviolability of individual legitimate rights and interests.

That's a lot of sense!

In addition, in addition to correcting and optimizing the deficiencies of the crime of private fighting, the law of legitimate defense has been formulated and promulgated, and the Criminal Department has also made further definitions and explanations for extortion and extortion.

Opportunistic and blackmail in the form of false accusations is regarded as the crime of extortion and extortion, and the prison sentence ranges from half a month to seven years. Moreover, in the laws of Daqin, there is a special explanation, that is, the illegal act of blackmail in the form of taking advantage of the kindness of others, opportunism, and falsehood, regardless of the amount of blackmail, will be regarded as a particularly serious circumstance and will be sentenced heavily.

In other words, ordinary blackmail, such as deliberately holding a vase in your hand and letting you break it, such opportunistic behavior can be regarded as a minor circumstance, and half a month in prison may be enough.

However, if it is a well-wisher who helps the old lady, and as a result, he is falsely accused and blackmailed, no matter how much money you blackmail, even if it is just a copper plate, it is regarded as a particularly serious circumstance, and the sentence is directly heavy, that is, the prison is counted in years, such as five years? Seven years?

In short, this law is also intended to preserve and promote the culture of justice and high moral character in society. At the same time, we will crack down on slander and blackmail.

Forget about the failure of mediation and blackmail, these are all non-existent, and they will be sentenced directly, and the maximum punishment will be imposed.

In Li Yang's words, it is a society, everyone only cares about gains and losses, a person who is originally good, but does not dare to help others easily, a person who is righteous, but does not dare to speak up when he sees illegal acts, and does not dare to act bravely, then such a society is extremely indifferent and extremely selfish, and if all these phenomena and the current situation are caused by the law, then such a law must be corrected and revised and optimized.

Therefore, in order to put an end to this phenomenon, the laws of Great Qin can be said to have taken precautions in advance.

Li Yang wants to let the future Daqin, every kind person, be relieved to be willing to minister, to help those in need, so that every person full of justice can boldly say the word "no" to evil forces and illegal acts!

At the same time, it also makes everyone who dares to take advantage of the kindness of others and consume kindness pay a painful price!

The relevant laws were soon promulgated, and they were directly promulgated in the provinces, counties and counties of Daqin.

At the same time, in the early winter of the 11th year of AD, the Qin state also reformed the judicial system.

Daqin, the original official system, locally, each province has a provincial yamen, and there are two levels of counties and counties below the province, which are mainly the three main officials who are not subordinate to each other: the county guard, the supervisor of the imperial history, and the county lieutenant.

The county guard, the governor of the county. In the Qin Dynasty, the power of the county guards was very large, except for the county commanders who were directly appointed and dismissed by the imperial court, the superintendent of the imperial history who was responsible for supervising the county governance, and the county lieutenants who were responsible for commanding the garrison and managing public security, other officials of the county were appointed and dismissed by the county guards themselves.

The Supervisor of the Imperial Palace, subordinate to the Supervisory Yuan, was responsible for supervising the county guards and other officials.

The county lieutenant, in charge of the county garrison, is in charge of public security and detects thieves, since Li Yang's restructuring of the Qin army, the county lieutenant has been separated from the military system and reduced to the magistrate of a county, in the words of later generations, is the director of the city public office.

Of course, in addition to this, there is also the gun. The deputy governor of the county shall assist the county keeper in managing the county affairs, and when the county keeper is absent or unable to serve as a director, the county officer shall act as the county keeper. The subordinate officials have a history of death, a master book, a priest's order, etc.

It is precisely because the local administrative system is like this, so it can be seen that the judicial system in the local area of Daqin is not independent. Both judicial and administrative powers are the final say of the governor of a place.

For example, in the provinces, it is the governor who has the final say; In the county, the county warden has the final say; In the county, the prefectural order has the final say. Only the history of the superintendent is subordinate to the Supervisory Yuan, and is not subject to the local governor.

Moreover, especially in judicial cases, there is basically no such thing as an appeal.

Because of this, Li Yang believes that Daqin's judicial system must be reformed. Therefore, he directly separated the judiciary from the local administrative body and named it the Daqin Judicial Bureau.

The Department of Justice, of course, is the organ exercising judicial power, responsible for adjudicating cases and adjudicating cases, which is equivalent to the combination of the court and the procuratorate in later generations.

At the same time, the organ that supervised the imperial history was changed to the Inspectorate, which was equivalent to the discipline inspection and supervision organ in later generations.

This judicial office is directly independent from the local government, subordinate to the criminal department, and is not subject to the supervision of the local governor, and the final decision is not made by the local governor or the county guard, but directly submitted to the higher judicial authority.

For example, if there is a dispute or a case against the judgment of the county-level judicial office, it can be directly submitted to the county-level judicial office for appeal, and if there is still a dispute or dissatisfaction, it can continue to be submitted to the provincial judicial office.

In this way, the entire judicial system can greatly reduce unjust, false and wrongly decided cases. At the same time, it has also urged judicial departments at all levels to adjudicate cases fairly and fairly.

As soon as the judicial reform of Daqin was implemented, the people did not think it was special at first.

However, in any era, there are so many people who are intelligent, talented, and far-sighted. They immediately realized the far-reaching implications and implications of the judicial reform.

Then, under the explanation of these people, more and more people suddenly understood that judicial reform is equivalent to allowing everyone in the world to be treated fairly and justly in front of the law.

In the past, when the county order said that you were guilty, you were guilty, and the county order said that you were not guilty, and if you were guilty, how could the people have the right to say "dissatisfied"?

But now it is different, the power to hear the case is no longer under the hands of the county order, as long as you are innocent, even if the county-level judicial office finds you guilty, you can appeal to the county-level judicial office, appeal to the province, and even some special controversial cases, the province will also submit to the criminal department for resolution.

In short, this makes every ordinary person see the hope that everyone will be treated fairly and justly in front of the law.

It is precisely because of the far-reaching and important significance of this judicial reform that this judicial reform has been directly recorded in history.

Historical records: "In the eleventh year of A.D., in the early winter, Li Yang, the monarch of Qin Zhen, carried out judicial reform, established the judicial office, and implemented the right of appeal. This judicial reform not only laid the foundation for the Great Qin Empire to govern the country according to law, but also marked a precedent for everyone to pursue fair and just treatment in front of the law! ”
