Being used as a backing by Wei Tu, Zhao Nanfeng panicked for a while, looking at the situation of his own defeat and retreat, he hated Wei Tu, a despicable villain, but at such a critical juncture, he couldn't allow him to think too much, and he turned around and was about to flee from here.

But Li Dahe was furious when he saw Wei Tu fleeing, and when he saw this Zhao Nanfeng also about to flee, how could he let him leave so easily.

"Don't let Zhao Nanfeng run away." Li Dahe yelled.

Li Jiang, who was fighting with the enemy on the side, heard this, forced back the enemy who was entangled with him with a knife, grabbed a brick on the side quickly, and threw it vigorously towards Zhao Nanfeng, who was about to escape from Xiaoyuan.

"Ahh

After a miserable scream, I saw Zhao Nanfeng fall down in response.

This group of killers saw that the gold lord on their side had taken the lead in running away, and they had already lost the will to resist desperately at this moment, and after resisting for a while, they covered each other and scattered, leaving only Zhao Nanfeng on the ground to hold his right leg in pain and look at the guards who surrounded him in fear.

Seeing that he had become a turtle in the urn and had no possibility of escaping, Zhao Nanfeng endured the pain in his legs, knelt in front of Li Dahe and kowtowed like pounding garlic and begged: "Li Qincha spares my life, I was also deceived by Wei Tu to do such a thing, begging Qincha to let me live!" Khin Cha spares his life! ”

Li Dahe glanced at Zhao Nanfeng coldly and said: "As an official of the imperial court, you don't want to serve Your Majesty, but you follow Wei Tu to oppress the people, and you still want to live, it's just a joke, come here!" Escort him down to me, close the city gates, and search for Wei Tu and the others who have committed crimes. ”

When the guards heard this, they were amazed.

The fighting in this small courtyard had already alarmed the surrounding residents, and these people carefully observed the situation here through the crack in the door, and saw that after several waves of fierce and vicious people rushed out of the small courtyard, they all held their breath and did not dare to make a sound, so as not to set themselves on fire.

With the closure of the city gate, Li Dahe immediately mobilized all the armed forces in the city and began to search for Wei Tu in the whole city.

The search lasted for a day, and at noon the next day, under the report of the people, Wei Tu, who had been on the run for more than a day, was finally arrested.

Two days later, as Han Ji woke up, Li Dahe came to the Punishment Division again, but the two people who sat on the top with him last time have become prisoners at this moment, and things in the world are impermanent, which really makes Li Dahe sigh for a while.

"Take the prisoner Han Ji." Li Dahe said loudly.

"Back to Qincha, Han Ji brought it." The guard said in a loud voice.

"The hall is from Pingnan City, Han Ji!"

When the young man, who had been tortured to the bones, heard this, he immediately cried bitterly and said: "I am Han Ji, I ask Qin to do justice for me, I didn't kill anyone!" ”

Li Dahe patted the shocked wood and said, "Don't shout loudly in the court, Han Ji, let me ask you, do you know these two people." ”

As he spoke, he pointed to Wei Zhao Erren, who was kneeling on the side and was tied up by five flowers.

Looking at the two people beside him, Han Ji suddenly became angry in his heart, and he didn't know the power that erupted from his thin body, so he suddenly broke free from the guard of the servant and rushed directly towards the two.

Seeing this, Li Dahe was immediately shocked and hurriedly said, "Stop him." ”

Although hatred caused Han Ji to burst out of strength, the long period of malnutrition made his movements stumble, and he was easily subdued by the officials.

"I'm going to kill you." Under the suppression of the officials, Han Ji roared angrily at Wei and Zhao.

"Smack!"

There was a crisp startling sound, and Li Dahe said loudly: "It is forbidden to roar in the court, and if there is a recurrence, the punishment will be served." ”

When Han Ji heard this, he looked at Li Dahe, slammed his head a few times, and said, "Sir, these two people committed adultery with my wife, and after killing them, they said that I killed them, sir, Han Ji requested that these two people be executed immediately." ”

Li Dahe snorted coldly and said: "What are the charges of these two people, it is up to the officials to decide, when it is your turn to say more." ”

"Heh, surnamed Li, if you want to kill, you have to be punished." Wei Tu, who was dismantled in his head, sneered.

And Zhao Nanfeng on the side was already so frightened that his face was pale, and he knelt on the ground and trembled.

"Be bold Wei Tu, and dare to defy the court officials when you are dying, and if you come, you will be punished with twenty sticks." Li Dahe said angrily.

When the guard heard this, he shouted loudly and dragged Wei Tu aside, and the stick fell like raindrops, but this Wei Tu was also a hard bone, and the flesh and blood of the butt was beaten but he gritted his teeth and stood down, without saying a word.

After the twenty beatings, Wei Tu had already fainted.

"Chincha, the prisoner is unconscious." Mr. Li said in a loud voice.

"Wake up with water!" Li Dahe said expressionlessly.

A basin of cold water was splashed, Wei Tu woke up slowly, the pain on his body couldn't help but make him frown slightly, looked at Li Dahe who was sitting above and said coldly: "The surname is Li, is this your ability?" ”

Li Dahe ignored his taunts, picked up a piece of paper on the table, and read aloud: "The criminal official Wei Tu, Zhao Nanfeng, as an official of the imperial court, did not think about the emperor's grace, committed adultery with others, and killed him, accepted bribes, plotted to assassinate the imperial court official, punished several crimes, sentenced to death, and confiscated all assets, three generations of descendants are not allowed to be officials, fined heavy taxes, and the two will be escorted to the capital for execution on a certain day." ”

After speaking, he said to the guards on the side, "Let them press their mudras." ”

The guards ignored Zhao Nanfeng, who was pleading, and forced his fingers to complete the drawing.

And Wei Tu shouted loudly while the guards pressed their fingers to draw the guards: "The surname Li, what do you say about upholding justice for the people, how many people in the Criminal Department have received my money, why don't you arrest them, the law of Daxia is a fart, and only the interests of you people are protected." ”

Li Dahe was shocked when he heard this, and roared: "Boldly offend officials, dare to slander others when they are dying, come here!" Palm mouth. ”

Under a severe beating, Wei Tu's teeth were knocked out of several times.

"The prisoner Han Ji, who was originally a good person, but his wife was not of good character, although he died according to the laws of Great Xia, abolished his wife's status as a native of Great Xia, and was reduced to a slave, he was not allowed to be buried in the soil after death, and his grave should be dug up, and the corpse would be in the wilderness."

After a pause, he continued: "I will not let any Chinese people be wronged, Han Ji will be acquitted, compensate for the loss of hundreds of copper coins, and retire!" ”

Finally cleared up his grievances, Han Ji cried with joy, and cried: "Thank you Li Qincha, thank you Li Qincha." ”

The next day, he ordered someone to hurriedly deal with Wei Tu's injuries and escorted the two to the capital.

This incident quickly spread in Pingnan City, and ordinary people cheered, Han Ji's case was not just his own business, through this case, people realized that officials can't do whatever they want, and they understand that the law restricts themselves and protects themselves at the same time.

As far as Li Dahe is concerned, Wei Tu did not dare to go down in detail about the bribery of many people in the criminal department when he knew that he would die, and if this matter continues to be investigated, it will definitely be a very difficult thing to involve some high-ranking officials.

Although he is young and a little enthusiastic, he is not a reckless man, and it is not good for him to know that he has too much control in this matter.

Half a month later, under the non-stop rush, Wei Tu and the two were escorted back to the capital and imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department.

Li Dahe, who returned to the capital, was summoned to the palace by Wang Lang before his butt could sit firmly.

After meeting Wang Lang, Li Dahe told the story of the incident.

But after Wang Lang listened, he didn't get angry or sneer, just sighed helplessly.

With the progress of society, corruption and perversion of the law will inevitably appear, and this generation of officials can be said to be novices in the officialdom, and when the system is perfected and the number of officials increases, it is difficult to put an end to the problem of corruption.

Han Ji's case may not be a special case, the rights of officials are increasing, and it is no longer uncommon for people to have a disregard for human life, this time Han Ji's luck is good, the level of these officials is too low, and Wang Lang easily saw the flaws, if these officials are familiar with the law in the future, and the dossier is not leaky, I don't know how many Han Ji have been innocently unjustly killed.

Intellectually speaking, Wang Lang hopes to rely on the law to protect the rights and interests of the people, but there is still a chivalrous spirit in his heart, the hatred of killing his father and taking his wife, which can be described as an enmity that does not share the sky.

If Han Ji hadn't been caught by Wei Tu and them, and after a few years of lurking, he would have killed these two people to take revenge, Wang Lang admired this kind of behavior from the bottom of his heart, even if such behavior damaged the foundation of his rule.

When society pushes you into a corner, don't forget that there is a path behind you, and that is crime, and there is no shame in remembering it.

At the beginning of the Xia Kingdom, everything was created from scratch, and it was impossible to improve the legal system if it was impossible, and only by continuously improving the law through one case after another, it would take several generations of work.

Li Dahe did not mention Wei Tu's bribery, and after Wei Tu's sentence was finished, Wang Lang agreed to his sentence and demanded that it be executed immediately, and that the heads of the two be pickled and sent to the cities as an example.

After this incident, Wang Lang ordered the Ministry of Industry to set up a huge dragon skin drum outside the palace, called Dengwen Drum, whenever the people of Xia Kingdom felt that there was a great grievance, they could ring this Dengwen drum and go directly to the palace to meet Wang Lang.

As Han Ji and Zhao Nanfeng's heads landed, Kong Yi and the others, who had been worried for a long time, were finally able to take a long breath.

At the yamen of the Criminal Department, a middle-aged official said with a smile: "These two people are finally dead, and every day they live, I won't be able to sleep well for one more night." ”

"Having said that, it's a shame that as soon as these two people die, we have a lot less source of income." One sighed.

When everyone sighed, Kong Yi, who was sitting in the first place, snorted coldly: "Do you think that a smart person like Your Majesty will not be able to see what I am waiting for, you have made enough money, and sometimes your appetite is too good and you will die, those two are your examples, you had better be honest during this time, don't cause me any big trouble, otherwise I won't be able to save you." ”

Seeing Kong Yi's words, these officials all closed their mouths, there is a way to enjoy the shade under the big tree, as long as Kong Yi, the minister of the dragon, does not fall, his small life can continue to be free.

Kong Yi glanced at everyone and said: "That Li Dahe has been keeping an eye on me recently, if possible, try to pull it to our side, even if you can't pull it in, try not to offend him as much as possible." ”

"Shangshu, this Li Dahe has been a celebrity in front of His Majesty recently, and the limelight of this criminal department has been taken away by him, and now that he has the case of Han Ji, it is very likely that he will be promoted to a third-grade official, and in the future, he is a court official like me, and this promotion speed is inevitably too fast." An official said with some envy and hatred.

Kong Yi sneered, "The Criminal Department is my Kong Yi's world, I'm still here, you guys are worried about a fart." ”

After the heads of Wei and Zhao were pickled, they were hung on the city wall for three days, and the people who came and went pointed at the heads, and read the notices on the city walls loudly with literacy, which listed the crimes of Wei and Zhao and 1510.

The people were extremely shocked when they heard that these two people were high-ranking officials on the pastoral side, and the officials who broke the law said that they would kill them, and the deterrent effect of the law was incomparably magnified in the hearts of the people at this moment, and it could be said that they were afraid of the law like a tiger.

Bribery, rebellion, these crimes are too far away from the lives of ordinary people, but murder, adultery and such things can happen at any time, because there are several people who have been sentenced to death in adultery cases, and under the deterrence of butcher knives, men have to consider whether this matter is worth the risk, if the head is cut off just because it is cool, then the price of this cannon is too huge.

The human race, which has just escaped from the wilderness not long ago, although it has experienced the edification of the Xia civilization, but on the whole, it still has the barbaric atmosphere of the barbarian era more or less, and it is not uncommon to kill people with their hands without saying a word.

With the shackles of the law, they have to think twice.

The influence of Han Ji's case, as the head hangs in various cities, has become widely known, and it has also become a topic of conversation after dinner, for those disobedient children, their parents have an extra way to intimidate them, and if you are disobedient, you will be sent to the prison of the Criminal Department, which can stop the crying of children.

Historians recorded this incident in its original form, and later historians gave great affirmation to the punishment result of the first official crime case that occurred in human history, believing that this was a very important case that established the legal status of the Xia Kingdom.

When the territory of the Xia Kingdom was in a uproar by this case, in the southwest of the Shenzhou Continent, Li Mu's progress was very rapid.

With the spread of the local savages, the three words Xia people have a sacred meaning in the hearts of the savages.

Li Mu's strategy is different from the previous Xia State's brutal Tuobian, Xia State's navy and accompanying doctors, by helping to constantly help the wild people, and show great strength and won the trust of the wild people, after gaining a firm foothold here, with the spread of fame, even without the army to look for people everywhere, every day there will be many tribes not far away from the hardships, through the vast jungle to this stronghold by the sea, as long as they get here, they believe that they can become the rumored Xia people, from then on live a good life with enough food every day.
