There is a temporary lobby outside the city gate of Hangzhou, and there is not even a wall, because the time is very short, only a temporary grass canopy is erected, but there are a few benches under Cao Peng, and there is a stove-style desk. These things were improvised from the place where the porridge was given in the past. Presumably, there were some armed soldiers around to maintain order, and there was a drum. It reminds people that this may not be an ordinary porridge field, but seems to be a place where officials try cases.

"Who are you? If you have any grievances, report them! A newly transformed judge who had just gained great power said in high spirits.

"I am a Jiading Xiucai Shen Li during the Wanli period, suing the culprit who had created countless unjust cases in the Jiading Massacre, the general head of the revolutionary army, I don't know what his name is, but his crimes are unforgivable, and at least he is the leader of the battalion officer and above. I hope you can find out the truth... ”

"It seems that your case was handed over ten days ago, and today's trial is just because the defendant has been summoned! Take the defendant! ”

At this time, a northerner walked up with a calm expression. The big man sneered, obviously not believing that this kind of grass platform team temporarily established by the Holy Lord would directly manage the army. It is true that the people do not sue the officials, and the officials and the army are involved, and it has not been possible to be so hasty and simple since ancient times.

"Your name is Wang An, a native of Xuzhou, and you used to be the head of the regiment in Jiading at that time, right? Do you admit that you committed a heinous crime in Jiading not long ago? ”

Although Wang An has not been in the army for a long time, he seems to understand some things, so he sneered: "The revolution is not a dinner party, is there anything wrong with what I did?" Even if a lot of people are killed by mistake in the process of execution, it is an indispensable price. The old does not go, and the new does not come. What's more, when I was in Jiading, it was originally a lot of people who provoked first, and I just used thunder to deter many local resistances... ”

"What about your opinion, is he guilty?" The temporary judge in the grass shed smiled at the scholars sitting nearby in charge of the jury.

"Guilty! Sins are unforgivable! The fifty members of the jury who had been invited said in unison, as if they had been prepared.

"Good! You are condemned, and I will sentence. Although this case involves an officer of the revolutionary army, it is not something I can advocate on my own, and I need to ask for advice today. But as the first batch of judges of the new yamen in Hangzhou Prefecture, I have already asked the Son of Heaven to grant me full powers, otherwise, I would not have been able to invite Wang An at all, right? Then I will pronounce the verdict: the defendant Wang An! Connived at his subordinates to kill innocents indiscriminately in Jiading and rob the people's property. According to the new law, the three tribes were exiled. Remembering his merits, even if it does not involve rebellion after all, he will be sentenced to beheading! ”

Wang An didn't react at all at this time, why did he just ask those dozens of people about their guilt and innocence, so quickly pronounced the verdict? Or is it a decision?

"I'm not convinced! You are making hasty judgments and disregarding human lives! It's class revenge! Wang An said with some dissatisfaction.

However, for some reason, the soldiers outside the Caotai Dharma Hall did not seem to have any sympathy for the revolutionary army system at all, more than a dozen people came up with guns, and some others pulled open a piece of cloth outside the hall and covered it with cloth, and the sluice knife, which no one had noticed before, executed the people as quickly as possible. From the beginning of the court to the execution, the whole process took less than a quarter of an hour, and it only took a stick of incense to decide the case.

Not only this one, but there are at least 50 grass platform classes at the city gate and even outside the city wall of the entire Hangzhou City, but more than 700 cases have been tried in just one day. Two-thirds of these more than 700 cases involved various violations of discipline by the revolutionary army and the army in the administration of the army, and at least 100 people were executed on the spot, and more than 230 were severely punished. Only a little over 100 people have been spared, such as "five days of detention", which is akin to being released in court. The other third, about 200 or so, is a variety of cases. Commercial disputes, neighborhood disputes, and things that used to be resolved privately or within the clan are all included. There are more civil cases related to marriage.

Of course, some people who are very concerned can find that these cases seem to be "serious and fast", but they also seem to have a certain choice. It is intended to tell the world that the people are no longer facing the same difficulties or high pressure, or delays or even procrastination for a long time. At the same time, it seems to be telling the world that even some things that used to be disputes between neighbors or judged and mediated within the clan can be brought to court. At the same time, the status of the lawyer is very different, and there is also a type of person who seems to be very powerful called "jury member", compared to the previous high school talents, there will be a high probability of a real power position, now such a position seems to be easy to obtain as long as you sign up...

In this way, more than 10,000 cases within half a month were resolved "seriously and quickly" under the method of the grass platform team's porridge field. More than 1,000 officers and even soldiers in the revolutionary army system were arrested, and hundreds of people were executed in a short period of time. Plus more selective resolution of civil disputes.

Although there is still no lack of bad comments and criticisms of this kind of behavior, this has made the once notorious Chongzhen regime gradually change some of the popular comments. Xiao Xuan's image in Jiangnan and other places has gradually changed from a "tyrant" comparable to Qin Shi Huang to an image of Li Kui, who is somewhat ignorant and ridiculous, but does not lose his righteous heart, and is probably a deteriorated version.

In these speedy trials, there were also some remarks about newspapers and books involving the revolutionary cause and various public opinions, and many insinuations and even cultural tendencies that were fundamentally different from the concept of the New Army, which made the selected judges seem to feel a little nervous.

However, Xiao Xuan has already conveyed some spirit in secret, and for these phenomena, it is better to have a wider standard in order to win the hearts of some old people and avoid some problems in the future.

Under these circumstances, a very small number of scholars in Koto began to have a positive view of the cause of innovation, which seemed to be a non-existent thing in the past.

Not only in Hangzhou, because this kind of "grass platform team" does not require much cost, it has also begun to appear widely in some other places. The entire new army system also began to feel a "shock" at this time

What Xiao Xuan didn't expect was that the drastic actions in this tide of change began to cause a series of consequences that had not been conceived before. A certain showdown seems to have come much sooner than before.
