Chapter 56 Eliminate harm for the people, seize the day
Bai Qing stood by the window and watched Xu Fang walk into the corner, but he couldn't see what was arrested behind him. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"This Xu Fang is not small, but his mind is unpredictable, and he doesn't know what his idea is, I have to guard against it, Lao Hu, I will let people go out later, and find out the news of the Zhang Mansion family banquet last night, I want to know, why this Chen Zhi was targeted like this." Retracting his gaze, Bai Qing commanded an old servant beside him.
The old servant nodded, and then showed a look of hatred: "These big families have always looked down on us, and even the servants in the house are also holding a fight, it's not easy to investigate, as long as those celebrities don't make a comment, their subordinates don't dare to spread it casually, I'm afraid it's not easy to find out in a short time, and the time limit given by Xu Fangxiaoer is too short." ”
"Do your best," Bai Qing sneered, "These big clans are just strong, in terms of money, my Bai family is no worse than them, and they still put up a fight with me, but they are just the shadow of the ancestors, otherwise how can they compare with me?" ”
The old servant scolded twice, and then changed the conversation: "Master, Xu Fangxiao'er's words can't be trusted, what kind of person is Wang Mi, even the government is jealous of him, and if he wants to deal with a family, he still wants to borrow the hands of others?" I see, this is Xu Fang pulling the flag to deceive you. ”
Bai Qing stroked his beard with a smile and said, "Don't I know? But that token is not fake, I have seen it two years ago when the rogue came to commit crimes, the relationship between this Xu Fang and Wang Mi is definitely not ordinary, his words may not be true, but it should not be fake to be able to help me introduce Wang Mi. ”
"Master," the old servant's voice was a little lower, "No matter how strong Wang Mi is, but after all, he is a thief, he has been lurking in the past two years, sometimes recruiting homeless people, causing trouble everywhere, killing many officials, but he is an important criminal in the court, and it is always a business of killing heads, we can't mix with this kind of person, you ......"
"I have my own plan," Bai Qing glanced at the old servant, revealing some intentions, "I am determined to enter the product, and when the whole family chicken dog ascends to heaven, this is the right way, Wang Mi is just a big bandit for a while, I don't know how many such characters in the past, and they will eventually be awarded." ”
"And you?" The old servant was puzzled.
Bai Qing laughed: "Xu Fang wants to use me and use the power to suppress me, I will take advantage of the situation, Wang Mi is a thief, wait for me to know a little, tell the government, do you say it is a vote?" ”
The old servant hurriedly complimented: "It's still the master's thoughtfulness, Xu Fangxiao'er's little calculations are nothing at all, and when the time comes, the master has made a great contribution, and our Bai family may be able to take that step." After speaking, he proposed: "However, it is better to expose Xu Fang directly, and it will save the risk." ”
"Hahaha!" Bai Qing couldn't help laughing when he was said to be in the center, and then explained slightly, "Xu Fang is a family member, even if he has the anti-thief token, in the eyes of the imperial court, it is just an ordinary work, killing is not enough to invite merit, and it may also attract thieves, it is worse than chicken ribs, I only hope that this Xu Fang will be cautious and not be caught by the government, otherwise the officials in this place will not want to attract anti-thieves and are afraid of the court's questioning, he must have been killed with a knife, and it will be a big deal, then I will have no chance to make meritorious contributions, such an opportunity is not easy to find a second time." ”
………………
"Xu Fang has been caught?"
Listening to this news, Chen Zhi was quite surprised, in his opinion, this Xu Fang's deeds were secretive, it seemed that he had a plan, and he shouldn't be so easy to catch, so Chen Zhi also prepared some back-ups, and there was news so soon.
Overestimating him?
"That guy's bones are too soft," the soap Li who reported looked down on Xu Fang very much, "Chen Junzi, don't you know, when this person was just arrested, he was still arrogant when he saw us, and said a lot of things, let us go and pass the word to the county guard, and said that we couldn't afford to arrest him, saying that if we arrest him in, he won't go out, waiting for us to apologize to him." ”
"And this?" Chen Zhi was surprised when he heard this, this person's behavior was a little wrong, "And then?" ”
"And then?" The messenger couldn't help laughing, "Let's just take out the torture tools, and haven't called him yet, this himself has been cowardly, and he has begged for mercy again and again, you said that if you were burned a few times, it would be enough to beg for mercy, just now he was arrogant, and turned his face and begged, what is this called, and then we don't need to torture, and he confessed to the arson." ”
That's it?
Chen Zhi was very stunned, the first round of offensive went down, and he took it down? The weak one is unexpectedly weak.
As soon as his thoughts turned, he said to the messenger: "In this case, Brother Lao went back and told Zhou Youxi, and said that everything will follow the law." ”
Soap Li nodded, and then said with some embarrassment: "That, Chen Junzi, look, why don't we hold on tightly, and kill him in the next two days?" He saw Chen Zhi look at him in surprise, and quickly explained, "The main thing is that the number of death row prisoners has just been handed over, and it is the middle of winter, and it will take many days to ask for beheading, and you can't spend money to support it in prison, it's too wasteful to use this money on the dead, according to our Zhou Tou, since we are a family member, and we are sure to betray the master, we can't turn the case, a slave, and it is normal to be beaten to death in prison." ”
It turned out that when Emperor Zhaolie was alive, he always maintained some of the military camp laws set up by Chen Hou, even if Chen Hou was not there, he would not allow others to disobey, which involved regulations on sanitation and cleaning, and in order to prevent plague, there were special arrangements for the treatment of the wounded and dead.
When the world was initially decided, the new Han Dynasty gradually emerged, and when the new Han law was formulated, it also took into account things such as infection and plague, so all the death penalty, except for major crimes that required the beheading, was reported level by level, and unified instructions were given.
It is a pity that as soon as the times develop, the rules will become tasteless, because when they are established, there will always be places that are divorced from reality, and after development, contradictions accumulate, and eventually exist in name only.
For example, if you arrest someone this week, you have to talk to the husband who is also a township official, set a tone, and the husband will report the history of the county prison and go through the prison procedures.
The county lieutenant continued to report in accordance with the procedure, informing the county that after a set of procedures, many death row inmates had passed the first seven years, and then the local government drew up a list and handed it over, and after the central department approved it, the selected day was uniformly executed.
Nowadays, the Xuzhou boundary has suffered a disaster, there is a shortage of money and food in the prison, and the prisoners still occupy the place, so they can raise one less, and they will raise one less, and those criminals with low status and political status are all from the fast and strict and seize the time to eliminate harm for the people, and afterwards they will say that the prisoners are weak and died of illness in the prison.
"The efficiency of this grass is quite high."
Chen Zhi was secretly surprised, but he also knew that no matter how good the system design was, it would deteriorate after the erosion of time, and governing the country was a ruler after all, and he wanted to set up a comprehensive system of rules and regulations, ignoring the heart of the officials, thinking that he could be stable for eternity, it was a dream!
Besides, he had seen a lot of dead people in his previous life, and he didn't feel anything, this Xu Fang set fire in front and provoked later, which made Chen Zhi very vigilant.
If nothing else, just say that arson, Chen Zhi knew that the side effects would not hurt people's lives, and at most affect objects, but when Xu Fang set the fire, he didn't think that it would hurt the innocent, it was to be burned to death together with the third brother, the little sister and Aunt Liu, and his mind was extremely vicious, and he had no mercy.
Now that the charges are confirmed, the law does not tolerate them, so it is natural to act according to the rules and give convenience to others by the way.
But......
"Even if it is to save food, it will not be as soon as the interrogation is over, and he is in a hurry to let people die, it is estimated that there are still problems inside, and it must be prevented from gradually ......" He is not worried that Zhou Youxi will secretly release people, don't look at this is ancient, but just on people's minds, there is no difference from later generations, as soon as people are caught, no matter when they are executed, they have been put into the archives since the beginning of the husband, especially if the person has been imprisoned, then the file is left, involving several departments.
Besides, it is reasonable to be reasonable, and Zhou You has no reason to do this.
Thinking of this, Chen Zhi nodded, and said: "After this person is ambushed, the things he carries with him and the things at home will be sent to me by my brother, and they will be useful." "Xu Fang's behavior is quite strange, Chen Zhi has to investigate carefully to see what he can find, be careful.
Soap Li was full of answers, and he was also surprised by the decision of this young master of the Chen family.
While talking and laughing, Xu Fang's life and death were decided, Chen Zhi took out a piece of broken silver from his sleeve and handed it over: "There are a few people to work this time, and a few people will be invited to eat and drink with this money." ”
"I can't do it, I can't help it!" The person who reported the news was a soap officer who monitored and arrested Xu Fang, when he saw the broken silver, his eyes were bright, and he couldn't help it, the son of the family was generous, everyone was a big money, and as soon as he made a move, it was broken silver.
"You're welcome, there will be something to bother you in the future, don't blame it then." Chen Zhi handed over the thing, and the soap Li accepted it while refusing.
Taking out the broken silver at one time must be too much, but in Chen Zhi's plan, it is not much use to keep the silver, rather than wasting it, it is better to take it out and make contacts, no matter how humble the person, he has his use.
"Traveling around there, you don't have to worry, Chen has his own courtesy." After sending the silver, Chen Zhi gave Soap Li a reassurance, and couldn't help but make this Soap Li feel good.
"It is said that Chen Qigongzi is a ridiculous man, when I look at it today, he is clearly a hero, he gave silver, and he doesn't have to honor the above, such a good thing, he has to fight for it next time, and such a son-in-law brother has no quarrel to talk to such an old man like us, what a good person, who is making rumors about Chen Qigongzi in the future, must go over and stop it!"
Thinking so, Soap Li's eyes rolled, and he said: "Junzi Chen, that evil slave found the gambling house Bai Boss and the scoundrel Chen Asan during the day, it seems that there is some plan, and it is also strange, when I asked this, the bad man didn't say anything, just muttered, I didn't understand." ”
Chen Zhi frowned slightly when he heard this.
Note: The history of the prison is not the imperial history, it is a petty official who broke the prison, and the county level is at the first level.
