Wen Tiren and Shi Fenglai glanced at each other, and then lowered their heads.

Today's matter is over, what is wrong with this damn Sun Zhiqi, it has to be mixed with Fushou ointment?

The disadvantages of Fushou paste are not clear to others, how can Wen Tiren, who is the first assistant of the cabinet, and Shi Fenglai, who personally handled the transaction of Fushou paste in Japan, not know.

It won't take long for the iron-beaten man to become a weak chicken, annihilating human nature, and it is very easy to die suddenly in excess, the harm of this thing is so great, Emperor Chongzhen also has a will, whoever touches it will die, and he will die with the whole family.

What's even more hateful is that Sun Zhiqi, a bastard, is a civil official - even if he is a military general, even if he is a nobleman......

Emperor Chongzhen originally had an opinion on civil officials, but now Sun Zhiji, a bastard, suddenly jumped out and made such a move, today's matter is definitely not something that can be completed by one or two heads.

After pondering for a while, Wen Tiren bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, since this matter has been released, there should be a strict investigation by the department, so that the origin of this Fushou paste can be found out, as well as the people involved, etc., it is advisable to arrest and bring them to justice as soon as possible." ”

Emperor Chongzhen nodded, turned his head and ordered: "Spread the edict, the thieves caught today will be tracked down by Tianjin Jinyiwei, and if necessary, the accompanying Beijing camp can be mobilized, and all the people related to this thief will be corrected, and all the people of the nine clans will be locked up."

Ordered Denglaiwei to cooperate with Denglai Jinyiwei Baihu to check all the Fushou ointment, no matter who was involved, all the relevant people and their nine clans were taken down, and escorted into Beijing, and Sun Zhiqi and his nine clans were escorted to Tianjin to see me.

In addition, the governor of Denglai was not strict under the rule, and he was fined for half a year, dismissed from his post and retained in office, so as to see the after-effects. ”

Wang Chengen bowed down and went to draw up the decree, but Wen Tiren bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, even though the harm of Fushou paste is great, there is no precedent, is it too late to implicate the nine clans?" ”

Wen Tiren is really worried that this case doesn't need to be too big, as long as a dozen or so people are involved, and the people of their nine clans are added together, it is estimated that it will be tens of thousands, and if you can't get it, you can get more than 20,000.

Emperor Chongzhen squinted his eyes lightly and said: "I remember that when I was in the capital, I said that whoever dares to touch this thing will be complicit in the crime, and in addition to myself Ling Chi, he will also implicate the nine clans!" As for the lack of precedent, it is up to him to set this precedent! ”

After taking a sip of the tea with a snort, Emperor Chongzhen continued: "Since Wen Aiqing said that the implication is too wide, then I am not an unsympathetic person.

In this way, all the people involved in the case will be punished by Ling Chi, punished by the three clans, and the rest will be assigned to the Ministry of Railways as laborers for a period of ten years, what does Wen Aiqing think? ”

Wen Tiren bowed and said, "Your Majesty is merciful!" ”

That's it, if you can kill less, you can kill less, Daming is still short of people, now killing so many at one time, not to mention the impact on His Majesty's reputation, and wasting so much labor, it is better to only punish the three clans, and the rest of the distribution is used as labor, which not only has a good reputation for His Majesty, but also solves the problem of insufficient manpower, which is the real killing two birds with one stone.

It's just that after talking about the disposition of these people, Emperor Chongzhen put the abacus on the top of the revision of the Da Ming Law: "Time has changed, the great edict established by Emperor Taizu Gao, and the Da Ming Law, is it time to repair it?" ”

Wen Tiren couldn't help but want to wail in his heart-what kind of sin he had created!

His Majesty the Emperor has been out for more than a year, expanding his territory countless times, but when will this character be changed!

Looking at the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, even the most tossed Emperor Zhengde can only be regarded as a small thing compared to the one in front of him, and it is not worth mentioning!

Now set your sights on Da Ming Law? This thing is so easy to fix?

The problem is that Emperor Chongzhen really intends to revise the Da Ming Law this time, because this Da Ming Law, to put it bluntly, is still the set of ritual laws, not criminal laws.

In ancient Chinese law, etiquette occupies an important position, "for the government before the courtesy, for the government is the foundation", etiquette is not only a moral norm, but also a legal norm.

Qin Shi Huang ruled the country by law, and the early Western Han Dynasty was basically "overlord and miscellaneous".

Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty "deposed a hundred schools of thought and respected Confucianism alone", Confucianism has become the dominant political thought, and on the basis of it, a feudal legal ideological system with the convergence of ritual and law as the basic feature has gradually been formed. Maintaining the "Three Programs and Five Constants" has become the core content of the feudal legal code, and the principle of the legal system has become the principle of the legal system. From the "introduction of scriptures to prison", the implementation of autumn and winter executions, to the "ten heinous crimes" and the "eight discussions" regulations, many legal contents are based on the hierarchical ethical relationship of Confucianism as the criterion for conviction or pardon, and have been respected by successive rulers.

The law of the Western Zhou Dynasty has the provision that "whoever orders a husband and a woman shall not bow down to prison and litigate"; In the Han Dynasty, there was a system of "first request", and the trial of the nobles and bureaucrats who committed crimes had to be tried by the emperor first. Wei Lu stipulated the "Eight Discussions" according to the "Eight Discussions" of the "Zhou Li". In the Sui and Tang dynasties, the feudal privilege law continued to develop as a result, and the legal system of "discussion", "request", "reduction", "redemption", and "official office" stipulated in the "Tang Law" was a concentrated expression of the reduction and punishment according to the grade. After the Tang Dynasty, the legal codes of the Song and Ming dynasties affirmed it as an important content.

All in all, the Da Ming Law has not escaped from this set of frameworks at all, and the overall use of ritual and punishment is combined, and then the combination of various laws is formed, with litigation, civil, administrative and other aspects.

Emperor Chongzhen has long been dissatisfied with this kind of discussion, invitation, reduction, redemption, and official position.

In the face of these rules, it has really become a joke for the prince to break the law and the common people, and those who have officials, money, and fame can really play with the law.

Why?

I am the emperor, how to play by bypassing the law is the right given by God, and other people want to play like this? Who gave you the guts?

However, it is obviously unrealistic to really comprehensively revise the Daming Law, and this kind of thing is not something that can be decided by himself and Wen Tiren with a pat on the head here, so he has to wait until he returns to Beijing to convene the cabinet and the eight ministries and Dali Temple and so on to study this thing together, and finally start to cultivate the law.

If you really wait until the Daming Law is completed and implemented, it is estimated that the time will have to be delayed until the end of the fourteenth year of Chongzhen or even the fifteenth year of Chongzhen - and this speed is already fast.

The top priority at the moment is to solve the Fushou Paste case first, and then talk about other things.

Emperor Chongzhen traveled, in addition to the necessary protection of the inner factory and the Jinyi guard, the second factory in the east and west also sent enough people to drive, so if you want to dig out any information, it is even more convenient than when Emperor Chongzhen was in the capital.

Especially the man who was arrested was not a tough guy at all, and he didn't even survive a set of punishments, so he confessed happily.

Emperor Chongzhen read the confession he had just sent over and over again, his face became more and more gloomy, and after snorting coldly, he threw the confession in his hand on the table and motioned for Wang Chengen to show it to Wen Tiren.

Wen Tiren also became more and more frightened the more he looked at it.

There are too many people involved in it, some black and some white, black from the lowest association green skin to various messy gang leaders, white from small officials to prefects, almost Denglai and North Korea, as well as most of the officials in Tianjin.

Wen Tiren's face also became darker and darker.

So many people were involved, far more than the dozen or so people he had just expected, but they rolled upward, almost involving a hundred and ten people.

One hundred and ten people, plus the nine clans of these people...... Wen Tiren shook his head, not daring to think about it anymore.

This is not a matter of thousands of people, this is a big case of tens of thousands of people, and once all of them are arrested, it is almost foreseeable that this will be a big case of earthquakes.

Liu Lianzhong, who was the first to discover the clues and began to track down, also followed the interrogation throughout the whole process, and now his head was already full of cold sweat, and he was faintly unwilling in his heart.

There are too many people involved, and whoever comes must be handled carefully, and if you are not careful, it will be a monstrous disaster.

However, the brothers in the hundred households died in vain? And where should their family members who have been implicated because of this go to complain?

"Your Majesty?"

Liu Lianzhong's words broke the silence in the lobby, and other people's eyes also turned to Liu Lianzhong, making Liu Lianzhong feel like a needle prick in his back.

Emperor Chongzhen, who had just been distracted by his anger, was also awakened by Liu Lianzhong's voice, and directly tore off a jade pendant from his waist and threw it on the table, commanding: "Order the North Sea Fleet to blockade Tianjin Port and Denglai Port, and before the blockade is lifted, the sails must not go to sea."

Jingying, escorted by the ship, landed ashore, and together with the Tianjin Health Station, blockaded the city and port of Tianjin; The Shenji Battalion left behind in the capital was transferred to Denglai, and together with the Denglai Guard, blockaded the county towns and ports of Denglai.

However, if a person involved in the case is not apprehended, the blockade must not be lifted, and everyone is allowed to enter but not leave.

Dressed in brocade Yiwei and the East Factory and the West Factory together took all the people involved in the case and their nine clan locks to the case, and sent personnel from the Criminal Department and Dali Temple to Tianjin. ”

Wen Tiren was suddenly shocked, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, slow down!" Why don't you wait for Your Majesty to return to the capital first, and then deal with it? ”

Emperor Chongzhen sneered and said: "If the people have me in their hearts, naturally all of them are united, and all the people in the world are working together, why am I afraid of these ghostly and ghostly people?"

If the people don't have me as an emperor in their hearts, what is the difference between me in the capital and in Tianjin? Sooner or later, it's just Yang Er's general end. ”

Wen Tiren's forehead was already sweating: "Your Majesty, having said that, if these thieves take risks, they will inevitably be shocked, I hope Your Majesty will think twice!" ”

Emperor Chongzhen sneered, raised his hand and pointed at Liu Lianzhong: "You come to tell me that having you here will make me frightened and hurt?" ”

Liu Lianzhong immediately straightened his waist and said loudly: "If there is one person in the inferior class, it will not make the thieves disturb Your Majesty!" ”

Emperor Chongzhen suddenly laughed out loud and said to Wen Tiren: "How is it, Wen Aiqing, can you rest assured now?"

It's not that I haven't gotten on my horse to kill the enemy, and the blood of the barbarian has been splashed on my body, so why should I be afraid of those little ones? ”

Wen Tiren wanted to persuade again, but Zhu Chunchen next to him spoke first: "Your Majesty, why don't you go back to the ship of the North Sea Fleet first?" Wait for the dust to settle before you go ashore? ”

Wen Tiren threw a grateful look at Zhu Chunchen - this time the matter is too big, once those people jump over the wall in a hurry, let alone Emperor Chongzhen, even the Heavenly King Lao Tzu is here, it is estimated that they will dare to brush the tiger's whiskers.

After all, Wen Tiren and the others had seen what kind of virtue those who smoked Fushou ointment, and they were inevitably worried about the safety of Emperor Chongzhen.

The decree stamped with the seal of Emperor Chongzhen and the transfer order stamped with the great seal of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies were issued one after another, and the whole Tianjin began to be in chaos.

Half of the ships of the North Sea Fleet were divided into the direction of Denglai, and the other half of the fleet left behind half raised their sails, and the muzzles of their guns pointed obliquely at Beitang and Dagu - if it weren't for Emperor Chongzhen's presence in Tianjin City, the guns would be aimed at Tianjin City.

Groups of soldiers from the Beijing camp began to drive into the city of Tianjin, and most of the people on the streets were still confused, and the people who wanted to see the excitement were all driven back to their homes.

In Tianjin, many people have become a mess, and some people don't plan to just sit and wait for death.

What a sin it is to sell Fushou paste without permission, many people know it in their hearts, and they also know what kind of reaction the imperial court will have after being caught.

According to the style of Emperor Chongzhen in the past, after being caught this time, the three clans are considered to be few, and the nine clans are estimated to be normal - however, no one thought that Emperor Chongzhen would lift the table so quickly, let alone that Emperor Chongzhen himself would directly lift the table when he was still in Tianjin City.

There are too many people sitting on this table, up to the prefect, down to the small officials Qingpi, if it weren't for the guards being stripped out, plus these people are afraid of the eunuchs in the army, they really don't dare to reach in, but they are afraid that the military attache system of Tianjin Wei will also fall in.

Several gang leaders, the biggest is the Qinghe Gang, because the Qinghe Gang has an inexplicable relationship with Caoyun, both in terms of personnel and equipment, it is far stronger than other gangs in Tianjin.

The gang leader Weng Zhihu has deep wrinkles on his forehead, squeezed up like the king character on the tiger's head, and has a thick voice, so he got a nickname, called Hejian Tiger.

Putting down the wine bowl in his hand heavily, letting a few drops of wine drip from his beard, Hejian Hu didn't care, but said directly: "I didn't say it, just call the good brothers, let's find a way to go to sea!"

Don't talk to Lao Tzu about going up the mountain to gather righteousness, a fool is going up the mountain! Those eagle dogs in Tianjin Wei are worried that there is no place to fish for military merits, let's go up the mountain with our heads and feet, and they will have to follow them on their hind feet! ”

The man in Tsing Yi, who was gently shaking a folding fan next to him, said playfully: "Go to sea? Where can you go? The world is so big, and there is a place for you and me? ”

Hejian Tiger was immediately angry: "Let go of your mother's fart!" If you hadn't come to woo Lao Tzu at the beginning, Lao Tzu would have done this murderous business with you? Now you tell Lao Tzu that there is no way out? Fuck you! ”
