Section 180: Trial of cases
A heroic god like the Yingwa Slow Luo family can control Yiliang City for several generations, and we can't be the monkey mat emperor here. "Shi Zhiqi said that our people will only do better than this traditional local tyrant and shoddy Shen."
Of course, the natives, who have been trained in modern administrative skills, will certainly do better than the egoistic-centered granddoes. However, the ancient society was a typical acquaintance society, and the label of an outsider was not easy to remove. Some families may have bred in the local area for two generations, and they are still outsiders in the eyes of the locals.
Outsiders are excluded from local social networks and are hardly trusted by locals. Of course, talking doesn't work. Because there are few people and there is only one power, many times the interests are bullied and encroached upon.
If it's in a metropolis like Guangzhou, the situation is even better. In a semi-closed rural society, it is difficult for outsiders to peacefully control local power.
The first word of the century is still derogatory, not to mention the fact that the social environment is closed and the large population is almost untouched.17 Actually.
Without the support of large local households, how to settle down and gain enough prestige is a problem that Wen Desi has been considering.
Now the local heroes who resisted them have been wiped out, most of them have been killed, and the rest are either hanging on the gallows or about to be hung on the gallows. In accordance with the established guidelines for action, the person will be purged with the euphemism "this is a document for execution".
Those who escaped and died included their clansmen, "distant relatives", family members, who had received some favors from them, and who also had vested interests, so they were all moved to Lingao to await resettlement." The People's Committee of Civil Affairs will split up the population and resettle it throughout Hainan Island.
After this measure ended, the elite class in Ichirashi City was completely wiped out. Newcomers can easily establish authority in the local area as long as they have sufficient funds and strong work skills.
He fell asleep half-leaning back in his chair in the midst of his thoughts, and when he woke up, it was already completely light. Wen Desi thought that today was going to hold a town-wide meeting. Wen Desi quickly sat up and called the orderlies to come in and pour water to wash him.
Of course, he did not need to personally come forward to convene the congress, and the elders of the People's Commissariat of Civil Affairs had to come forward. Sitting in his makeshift office, he reads the reports and requests that have quickly accumulated on his desk.
The captured townsmen, "the servants of the family and the gentry, need to be screened, and the general principle is to punish those who are angry with the people, and generally release them on the spot." However, who has public anger and who only has a personal vendetta is a matter of entanglement, and since this morning, there have been more and more cases of sneaking to the headquarters to complain about "X complaints" and anonymous letters. The civil xiǎo group specially brought a group of indigenous people to deal with such matters.
The town-wide convention at the threshing floor was going well.
Wen Desi thought that this was not surprising, how could the meeting under the bayonet not go well, let alone the 100 people who had been hanged from yesterday to today. At the meeting, several liaison officers were appointed to be responsible for maintaining law and order in the town, "dealing with the aftermath and approving the collection of reasonable burdens". Among them are both the innkeeper Chen Zhang, and the local owner of Xiǎo grass mat shop, Li Cunfa. The presiding monk of the only temple of the zuihou one. The Taoist presided over a palm temple, and the temple property was not much, fortunately, there was only this temple in the town, and it undertook all the business related to the immaterial shijie. The income is almost enough for their masters and apprentices to live.
The three men worked under the direct leadership of the civil xiǎo group. Wen Deji ordered the allocation of five hundred taels of silver and hundreds of stone of rice to the civil xiǎo group as expenses. At the same time, the original public welfare organization in the town will be restored first. The water to fight the fire was reopened, and the guards who had been hiding in Mén also resumed their night shifts. Those whose houses and property were burned during the fighting also received relief rice. Subsequently, the civil xiǎo group was also ready to issue another relief silver.
I was amazed. Ji Xin, the representative of the arbitral tribunal responsible for patrolling and handling the legal affairs of the contingent, saw that the temporary team was already up and running. Chen was in charge of public security, Li Cun was in charge of the economy and reasonable burdens, and the monks were in charge of the charitable affairs of collecting corpses and relieving the poor, and soon everything became in order. Before I came to Guangdong, I was afraid that the natives would be afraid of the government's retaliation and would not come forward. ”
After the war, powerful local people came forward to maintain local affairs, which is not considered to be a defection in traditional society." There is even a good reputation for maintaining camphor. Most of these people are still local high-ranking scholars, and they are grassroots ruling collaborators that the government originally relied on, and of course, when they come back afterwards, they will not be punished for their actions, and of course, there are honest people who sincerely serve the people, who are anxious for justice and righteousness, and there are also despicable people who try to make profits from this, and the situation is very complicated.
At this moment, the elders have no choice, and most of the indigenous people have not yet established their basic trust in them, so they have to appoint this person who has come out to do things on their own initiative. As for the quality of these people, we can only slowly examine them in practice.
With the help of local liaisons, the aftermath of the civil xiǎo group was carried out quickly. The civil xiǎo group began to collect the eyelids, bury the corpses, relieve the poor, and appoint the enemy who had slipped through the net, "to repair the buildings damaged by artillery fire, both private and public." To a certain extent, the Vultures still agree with the concept of the inviolability of private property. Of course, on the premise of not prejudice to the interests of the Senate and the Empire.
Liu Deshan's house was the first batch to be included in the repair list because of the serious damage. A team of sailors carrying tools and pushing a car full of building materials came to Liu's house. Liu Deshan had just attended the general meeting on the threshing floor in the morning, and although he knew that Xiǎo's life and property were not in danger for the time being, he still had doubts about the reasonable burden in the future. I am afraid that this amount will be apportioned at that time. Occasion
When he was suspicious, this team of people suddenly appeared in front of his house, making Liu Deshan think that the Chu thief was coming to speculate. This tool is about to dig up the floor tiles and tear down the wall to find the secret treasure."
Sir, we'll meet again. "The leader of the team was an Australian who came to his house yesterday, he smiled and waved the axe in his hand, which scared Liu Deshan so much that he almost lost his pants, we are talking and helping you repair the house."
Before Liu Deshan could react, the sailors poured into the yard, and some people immediately demolished Liu Deshan's guys yesterday hastily ordered the haodemén threshold, and pushed in the purple electric trolley full of bricks and lime, and some people quickly set up ladders and climbed to the roof, and some straightforwardly asked guys to borrow buckets and prepare to mix lime to make mud. A handful of hands to repair the house.
In his mind, all the soldiers were idle, lazy, lazy, ruffians, and out-and-out officials and bandits, "If you don't rob or kill, even if you have strict discipline, this kind of army that comes to compensate the people for their losses after the war and can personally come to help repair the house is really unheard of."
I can't imagine that there are such people in this world," Liu Deshan praised again and again. Hurry up and ask someone to boil water and make tea immediately.
The old man is gone," said the man, and the old tea ran out yesterday. ”
Jerk makes good tea"
When Liu Deshan was making tea, the shopkeeper Chen scolded and took the group to the office. The corporal said that the public office was the original regimental training office. It was originally a temple, but it was renovated and used as a public office. There are many houses in it, and the hall is large, which is suitable for office work. The detachment is in. After the moonrise and the village broke, an office was set up here.
The group was sent here, and there was a large courtyard next to the office, which is now used as a temporary dog detention center. The rooms were full of people with sad faces.
Alone, they were escorted to a courtyard. This was originally the lobby of the public office. It is also a place where the members of the regimental training office set up a private court to try cases. Anyone who is brave enough to get suspicious characters in Yiliang City and the surrounding areas" or any unlucky guy who offends the old man will be taken here and tortured. In addition to the absence of plaques and ceremonial guards in the public court, there are all kinds of public case flying torture equipment.
It is now temporarily used as an ad hoc military court to hear cases. Ji Xin, the representative of the arbitral tribunal, has been hearing various cases since the morning, and most of the people have come to sue the people, mainly the wealthy and powerful families in the past. There are people who come to accuse them of death, there are people who come to accuse the gunwoman, there are people who accuse them of forcibly taking property, and there are so many people. There are those who come to deliver the pleadings in person to complain about grievances, and there are also those who secretly post anonymously. The material is now piled up on a table at the back of the courtroom.
There is no need to try this case, because the person concerned was already dead when the village was broken, or he was hanged and executed that night. Sue Luo Tianqiu's case holds a lot of other crimes, and there are five poisons." Ji Xin thought that this person was really a typical bully landlord."
Although there was no need for a trial, Ji Xin still asked the indigenous clerks to put together all the materials, especially to gather enough witnesses to testify, which was a later publicity material
The defendant is still alive and has to be arrested and arraigned in accordance with Procedure 1. This kind of trial mode that has no legal basis and no evidence in court, and only relies on the two mouths of the parties to refute each other, makes Ji Xin very uncomfortable, because he has to rely on his own common sense, flying knowledge, x concepts, and even intuition to judge
Ji Shin does not believe in the theory that poor people are inherently good people, and rich people are bad people". He was well aware that when a new ruler came, many people would use this to plunder other people's property to change their own fate. False accusations of exaggeration must be common at such times.
So he paid special attention to the fairness of the trial. He often expounded the theory that just because a person is guilty does not mean that all the charges can be put on his head. "This is incompatible with the iron fist theory of the public procuratorate headed by Du Chau and the theory that the law is an instrument" advocated by the pragmatists.
Liaison Chen escorted a few township teachers to come. "Someone told them that they didn't admit it."
Oh mouth," Ji Xin nodded, of course, people don't admit it. He was very dissatisfied with the order of the Vultures House to execute all the village teachers, and thought that there was a suspicion of indiscriminate killing of innocent people.
But this is a matter of high-level decision, and he cannot object to it.
Bring it on. He said as he removed the closed case file from the desk. Open a new one.
Qingxia was taken to court alone. The scale of the scene here is no less than that of the county government, but there are no people in the hall, let alone fierce officials, only three or four characters who look like thieves. In the center, a six-and-a-half-foot-tall strong man has a square face, thick eyebrows, big earlobes, and very white skin. It seems to be a very official mouthful, and he is about to be a big official among the thieves. Qingxia hurriedly pulled Jiang Suo and knelt down
Min nvchūn xia knock to see the lord"
You don't have to kneel and kowtow and stand and talk. The strong man said that he looked like Yan Yue sè, not as fierce and powerful as ordinary officials. Qingxia felt a little relieved.
Thank you, sir. ”
You're welcome. The Australian actually laughed at what his name was. Where are the people? What do you do for a living? Qingxia only said that her group was a horse runner, and she didn't dare to say that they had ever been a township teacher. only said that he was framed because Boss Chen tried to steal their horses and property.
Master Mingjian, we are artists who sell solutions, we are home, and we are outsiders, how can we be the township teachers here? Qingxia knew that at this time, it was only possible to survive if there was no such thing. Ji Xin nodded and looked at this person. The nvzi who spoke in the center was in his twenties, tall, well-proportioned, and big-footed, obviously a xiǎo guy next to the mouth who had practiced martial arts, a seven-year-old born short, xiǎo robust, and an nvzi in his early thirties, a little bit of posture, sè face, sè pale, and even unsteady on his feet, as if he was sick. It is indeed unbelievable for such a person to say that they are Xiangyong teachers.
Chief," Boss Chen immediately jumped out, this "I have indeed been a teacher of Xiangyong, and I have fought with the chiefs, if you don't believe it, you can ask the Xiangyong who was caught here, there must be someone who knows them," he then pointed to Qingxia, the NV person and Luo Tianqiu, and there was a leg, "Qingxia's face was flushed, and her heart was extremely angry. As an NV in the takeaway art, his chastity has always been the object of suspicion and riddles, so Qingxia looks at it very seriously, and she can't be misunderstood by others. He was as guarded as a virgin, and he was slandered for no reason, and he was about to rush up and grab the shopkeeper Chen. Seeing the thief's bright bayonet restrained his anger. He turned around and knelt down and kowtowed.
The people are indeed virgins, and Master Luo has never had anything to do with it, this Boss Chen sprayed people with blood, please check the lord"
Seeing that this NV's expression was so intense, Ji Xin knew that she was telling the truth. He glanced at Shopkeeper Chen's smug expression. Although law does not talk about personal impressions, the performance of these two people is still inevitable, leaving Ji Shin with likes and dislikes.
Regardless of whether this one is a Xiangyong teacher or not, this shopkeeper Chen is obviously ill-intentioned. It is also possible that the opportunity to blackmail horses is real.
Qingxia, you have nothing to do with this case. The thief who was sitting behind the desk was about to be inexplicably crooked about the matter to **" The question was very dissatisfied, and he said to Qingxia You get up. Boss Chen said that you have been a township teacher, and you still go into battle to fight, but is there such a thing? ”
"Qingxia categorically denied that we are running horses and selling solutions, all of which are kung fu with fists and embroidered legs, how to coach Xiang Yong?" Boss Chen saw that Qingxia was clean as soon as she spoke, and her attitude was resolute, for fear that the Australians would believe her words, and hurriedly added: Chief, they are all really good at work, if you don't believe it, you can send someone to ask the people in this town. This nv's archery skills are excellent and can shè money a hundred paces away. Luo Tianqiu asked her to coach the Xiangyong with bows and arrows, "He also pointed out that Jiang Niang, this NV person can fly knives, and she still has a red injury on her leg yesterday, not to help Xiangyong fight, where did she get a red injury?" "This is a hard wound that cannot be denied. Qingxia didn't know how to unravel her mouth for a while
Shopkeeper Chen is right. ”
Returning to the old man, Min NV and others are people who sell and practice martial arts, it is not surprising that they have this kung fu to make a living, and they can't insist that Min NV and others must be a village teacher if they have kung fu, "Australians asked Jiang Niang sharply, do you have injuries on your body?" Jiang Niang didn't dare to answer, she didn't know whether to say yes or no. But she limped and was helped in by Qingxia, which was undeniable. I had to go to Xiǎo Dao Min NV did hurt. ”
How to get hurt. Qingxia hurriedly said that the master was stabbed by the civil NV when he was practicing martial arts.
The chief denied it, "Shopkeeper Chen didn't expect that this year's light NV is now so sophisticated and unhurried, and he has to shirk things cleanly." Furious in his heart, at this time he no longer cared about any horses, but felt that he had lost face. He hurriedly took out the account of the customer he was looking for.
"Chief, please see," he said, pointing to the names of the men, who had arrived in Deben a month earlier, and were in a group of eight of them. I lived in this store until half a month ago, and they moved out of the store and lived in the group room of the Luo family ancestral hall. The ancestral hall is not an inn, Luo Tianqiu is not a kind-hearted person, how could he let them live in the ancestral hall for no reason. You will know this as soon as you ask, sir," he said triumphantly, and now there was only one person left, so what about the old man? What about the man. There is also a xiǎo where the children have gone now. When Ji Xin heard it, he now knew that what Shopkeeper Chen said was true. He asked with a silent nod
Shopkeeper Chen said that there is such a thing. ”
