The Guangling Chen family's "bandit cultivation plan" died just at the beginning.

Because of Zhong Hui's report, Ma Long was very clear about the Chen family's every move. When the generals of the Chen family pulled Chen's private soldiers across the Huai River from Huainan, they honestly came to Ling County according to Chen Yue's arrangement, and just made preparations for "looting" the county seat. Ji Han's Xuzhou Corps also appeared here with a pinch.

Then, this team numbered as many as 3,000 people, and on weekdays, under the command of the head of the family, they were powerful and prosperous in Guangling County. The private soldiers of the Chen family, who were good at bullying the serfs in the manor in every possible way, really had to carry a knife into battle, and collapsed in an instant.

The so-called "under the three woods, why not ask for it". In addition, the Chen family, as a Kanto family, has been lying on top of the welfare of the Jiupin Zhongzheng system for decades. The master of this house is rotten, and the people in charge below are actually rotten. So, Malone quickly got all the confessions and relevant evidence he wanted.

So the Xuzhou Legion acted quickly again and wiped out Chen Yue and others who were still waiting for news from Zhonghui!

Because the Guangling Chen family is one of the more than 40 top families in the Kanto region, it is rare to only focus on the family that focuses on one county (all of them are top families, and they often have very strong power in the court, which also leads to most of the top families in addition to operating their nests, but also have estates and forces in other places). Therefore, Ji Hanqing's household tax investigation was the strongest stimulus to the Guangling Chen family. Therefore, the Guangling Chen family is the first family to jump out.

But the result was also the worst.

"Brother, after taking down all the core members of the Chen family. After careful investigation again, Ma Xiaoxing obtained a total of 5.1 million mu of land and 183,000 people before and after Beiguangling. In twelve cellars, three thousand catties of gold and 1.3 billion gold were found. There are no less than 10 million stones of grain stored in its various estates...... Xiaoxing estimates that there are at least seventy percent of the above figures in Nanguangling......"

"Well, I already have the numbers over there in Nanguangling. Not as much as seventy percent, but not too far off. ”

"Oh, it's shocking. Brother, remember that when you and my brother first arrived in Fuling County, the total population of the county was a little more than 20,000, and the cultivated land was less than 150,000, right? ”

"So the family is the big beetle of the country! With so many people and land in the hands of the family, where does the country's tax revenue come from? How can various industries develop? These guys don't usually pay much taxes, and after a hundred or two years, this savings are of course extremely terrifying. ”

"Brother, the Chen family rebelled, how should I deal with it?"

"Hahaha~~ Wushuang, you have to change your concept. Now that there is the Supreme Court, how to determine the sentencing is a matter for the courts. We, the Prime Minister's Office, cannot interfere. However, the right to prosecute this rebellion case is still on our side. Therefore, then you go to Xuzhou in person, investigate and collect evidence, and then file a public prosecution in the Xuzhou court. ”

"No, please rest assured, brother. The foolish brother must make it an iron case. ”

In October 275, after rigorous evidence collection. On behalf of the Dahan Prime Minister's Office, the Vice Premier simply filed a public prosecution with the Xuzhou Court against the Guangling Chen rebellion.

Needless to say, Chen Gang led the army to attack the county seat of Weixian County. The crux of the matter is to link this act with the rebellion plan of the core members of the Guangling Chen family.

The main physical evidence is the letters written by Chen Yue to Zhong Hui and Wang Rong, as well as the approval documents of several main housekeepers of the Chen family to allocate money and grain to Chen Gang.

And the human witness, it's really a bit unexpected.

Chen Gang, the leader of the generals, personally testified, saying that it was Chen Yue who asked him to pretend to be a bandit, and then wanted to expand his power.

Several of the Chen family's housekeepers also came forward to testify and provided several hiding places for the Chen family's property.

If the actions of the above people can be explained by the fall of the tree. Then, the one who broke through Chen Yue's last psychological defense line was Wang Rong, the current head of the Langya Wang family, who actually came to the Xuzhou Court in Xiapi in person to testify that Chen Yue had rebelled!

Therefore, in the end, Chen Yue, who had completely collapsed, admitted all his crimes very happily.

Li Mi, who rushed to Xuzhou in person to open the trial, finally made a verdict:

In the case of the Guangling Chen rebellion, the evidence is conclusive and the facts are clear. According to the newly promulgated "Han Criminal Law", Chen Yue, the head of the Chen family, was beheaded! The seven clan elders of the Chen family were all beheaded.

The rest of the Chen family, the men, and the underage women surnamed Chen were all exiled to Liaodong County in Pingzhou. Foreign women who marry into the Chen family can decide for themselves if they want to return home or follow their husbands to Liaodong.

The Chen family's property was confiscated. The tenant farmers and domestic slaves of the Chen family were all recorded in the civil register of the Guangling County Government. The state allocates land to the tax-paying population.

The private soldiers of the Chen family who participated in the rebellion, led by several family generals, should be beheaded according to the law. But on the one hand, the rebels have not done much real harm to ordinary people. On the one hand, the leader of the rebel army has the credit for taking the initiative to confess. Therefore, these more than 3,000 people were all exempted from the death penalty.

However, capital crimes can be avoided, but living crimes cannot be escaped. All of these 3,000 people were forced to join the construction brigade under the Ministry of Industry and carried out the construction of various public works as a permanent construction team of the Ministry of Industry. As sinners, the state only took care of food for the first three years of these fellows and did not pay them anything. And compulsory management is carried out, and those who dare to escape will be beheaded. After three years, if you want to withdraw, the state will allocate land and include it in the civil register to pay taxes. Those who are willing to stay will be paid according to their technical level.

In short, due to the relationship between the traversers, the extremely bloody criminal law of ethnic punishment is completely absent in the new Han legal system. Under the current situation that the actual number of Han people cannot reach 20 million, any Han person, as long as he has not committed a heinous crime. It's all worth keeping.

Moreover, the traverser naturally does not think that women are accessories of men, so when men commit crimes, women will either be killed or bought into the Qinlou Chu Pavilion, which has also been abolished by Guan Yi. Instead, there is a more humane arrangement: if you want to accompany your husband and son to serve their sentences, please feel free. You want to leave your relationship, return to your parents' home or start a new life of your own. Please feel free to do so.

……

"Congratulations to my father, for such a smooth suppression of the Guangling Chen family."

When the news of Xuzhou reached Chang'an, it was already November. The two brothers, Guan Fu and Guan Hui, who were both studying at Longshouyuan Academy, took advantage of the rest of the day to return home. Qi came to congratulate Guan Yi.

"Hehehe, this is just a good start to this hard battle. There's a lot more to come. ”

"My father's words are very true. Father, we have questions. ”

"Say it."

"Father, the housekeeper of the Chen family, the owner of the family, may be able to explain that he can survive after confessing. It's just that Wang Rong and Wang Xuanchong? ”

"Hehehe, the housekeeper of the Chen family, the owner of the family, the reputation of this life has been completely ruined. This kind of thing, that is, the Kanto family has been rotten for decades, so that the subordinates below will also be rotten. In the years when the Han Dynasty and even the Yellow Turban Rebellion had just begun. How dare a house slave rebel against his master? Hey, so ah, if the elite of this country is rotten, the ordinary people below will follow suit. Then the whole country and the whole nation will gradually lose the two Han Dynasty, especially the indomitable iron-blooded masculinity of the former Han Dynasty.

As for why you said Wang Xuanchong would take the initiative to testify. Hehe, of course he didn't take the initiative to stand up. It was Wang Yifu (Wang Yan), who was left in Chang'an, who was asked by his father to write a letter to him. ”

"A letter? This, this Wang Xuan Chong is a famous celebrity in the Kanto region. He stood up like this, but his reputation was ruined! A letter from his father can make him stand up? ”

"Hahahaha~~ You guys are still too young." Guan Yi stroked his beard and laughed and patted the shoulders of the two teenagers: "Who is Wang Xuanchong?" The last of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest. What was done? In his early years, he followed Ji Kang and others to deny current affairs and ridicule the Sima family. As a result, as soon as Sima's family killed, Wang Xuanchong hurriedly bowed to Sima Shi. This kind of spineless literati, as long as he understands the power of state power once, will be a good dog for the ruler for life! As for fame? Hehe, Wang Xuanchong watched Zhong Shiji frame Ji Kang and didn't help him, and his reputation was stinky. But after the establishment of the Jin Kingdom, as his official position continued to rise, didn't this reputation slowly come back? A considerable part of our people have a memory similar to that of a fish, at most for a moment. For example, if someone mutilates children all over the world, the people of the country are often indignant and shouting and shouting to kill. But after a few days, everyone will forget about it. ”

"Well....... the children don't really understand what the father said at the end."

"It doesn't matter. In short, his father has promised Wang Xuanchong to let him out. He was recruited to join the army as the recorder of the Great Sima Mansion. ”

"Huh? Father, why do you use such a person of bad character? ”

"For the father, I don't use him as a moral model, but use his ability to do things. Wang Xuanchong is still very characteristic of doing things. He is often able to find the most critical point in the complex affairs. Remember, to make simple things complicated is to add to the chaos. It is the officials who simplify complex things! Besides, haven't you all heard the story of 'the last egg' told by your father? The family is still very strong in the end, and it is impossible to force all the families to rebel with one cut. It must be divided and disintegrated, and it must be slowly figured out. ”
