Chapter 0263: Escape and Death

Although the handover work is completed, this does not mean that the whole situation of Bukui is mastered. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Only after the analysis and processing of data can we derive some regularity.

The data handed over sometimes made Jia Min and Feng Ziying almost crazy.

"Chief Min, look at this, the number of people registered is seven thousand eight hundred and twenty, okay, this is not a problem. But if you look at the number of detainees, it's 7,870. In other words, the court exiled a total of 7,820 people here, but he took 7,870 people, an increase of 50. I don't know where these fifty of them came from. ”

Feng Ziying's temper has always been relatively mild, and at this time, she is also angry.

"Could it be that the fugitives who were caught are also counted here?"

"Of course, there are fugitives who have been caught, but they are kept separately and have nothing to do with this. I asked a few of them, and one of them said the same, which shows how confused their numbers are. ”

"yes. , digital chaos, in fact, is management chaos. It also proves that their management has failed before. ”

"If you look at this again, the unnatural mortality rate has reached 31 percent, and one in three people will die unnaturally. It's no wonder that people say that Bu Kui is dead. This is not counting the deaths on the road, if you add up the deaths on the road, there will be more, that is, the group of people we detained, none of them died, and all of them were sent to the place. ”

"Ziying, there won't be such a high mortality rate, right?"

The unnatural mortality rate of 31 percent of the exiles is indeed an astonishing number, and even Jia Min can't believe it.

"That's right, I've checked it several times."

"What caused the deaths?"

"There are many reasons, and to sum up, there are several main ones."

"One is the most sick and dead. The second one froze to death, and seven of them froze to death last winter. The third is exhaustion. The fourth was suicide, and the fifth was killed. Some of those who were killed were killed by Zhuang Tou, and some were killed by their accomplices."

"Others died of unknown causes, presumably malnutrition or starvation. The last category is to die in various accidents, such as the death of ore in the mine and the scalding of molten iron in the iron factory. ”

This category is the death of work safety accidents.

Jia Min fell into deep thought.

This abnormal mortality rate is really too high.

People are always going to die, and everywhere they are going to die. It is also normal for exile prisoners to have a higher mortality rate than others. After all, the natural environment here is harsh, and the labor is more difficult, but such a high mortality rate is still abnormal.

Although these people were exiles, since they were not sentenced to death, they had the right to live.

This is not because of the consciousness of his previous life, but because in the peaceful period of the Daitoku Dynasty, he was very cautious about executing prisoners.

In a relatively serious case, from the county, to the prefecture, to the province, if the death penalty or felony is sentenced, it is actually very cautious. Finally, at the level of the imperial court, it will be tried by the Criminal Department, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Three Law Divisions of Dali Temple, and after giving opinions, it will be submitted to the Minister of Military Aircraft for discussion, and finally handed over to the emperor for decision.

In many cases, some prisoners who had already been sentenced to death were changed to exile without death when the emperor was executed.

At this time, the emperor adhered to a kind of thinking that God has the virtue of a good life, and could not bear to be tortured and killed, and exiled. In fact, it is a kind of cautious killing thinking.

The emperor couldn't bear to kill these people, but he didn't expect that when he came here, he became a victim of the lives of the people.

Of course, there are objective reasons here, but the subjective reasons of the regulators are also very important.

"Chief Min, if you look at this escape rate, eight percent, out of a hundred people, eight escaped, and the success rate was four percent. Half of them succeeded, and the other half were either attempted or caught. ”

"The reasons for the escape are understandable and unacceptable."

"Specifically, what are the reasons?"

"There are those who miss their hometown and homeland, those who miss their relatives, those who can't see the future, and those whose ideals are shattered. Of course, these reasons are excusable, but there is no basis in law. Since you are an exile, you have to endure these problems. Escaping on this ground is untenable. ”

"The rest, some of them will be considered. Some were oppressed and abused by Zhuang Tou and other exiles, some were too bad to be fed, sheltered, and transported too badly, some were forced too hard and the labor time was too long, some were obviously unable to do the work, but they had to be called to do it, and some were wronged,......。 ”

"In the end, I really can't stand it, so I have to think about suicide and self-harm, or I just take risks and escape, trying to find a way to live."

When the exiles arrived in the penal colony, the long process of punishment had just begun.

Not only is personal freedom gone, but the harsh living conditions are the real test. When they are abandoned and humiliated, coupled with being oppressed and inhuman physical and mental torture, many people have limits to their patience. Those who are bold may rise up to resist and flee, and those who are timid will resort to suicide to escape.

Self-injury and self-harm is also a passive means of escape, that is, by hurting oneself, making one's hands and feet and other parts disabled, so as to escape heavy labor.

There are also some exiles who receive preferential treatment, but this is only a special case.

These people who receive preferential treatment, or those who are rich, get some preferential treatment by buying off the head of the village or being an official.

Some of them have craftsmanship, and if they don't have this person, they will also receive some preferential treatment.

Some are related, and relatives and friends with backgrounds greeted them and receive some preferential treatment.

There are some exceptions, that is, they are more literate and more respected. Whether it is officers, soldiers, prisoners, or local people, they will respect and take care of these people.

However, the fate of the vast majority of ordinary people is very miserable. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are struggling on the death line every day.

This is the fundamental reason why the mortality rate and escape rate are so high.

At the beginning, these exiles were not directly executed, but they were left with a life, so naturally they were not willing to let them all die here.

If a person dies here, not only will the court's willingness to kill be cautious fail, but it will also damage the reputation of the court.

The imperial court exiled these people, not only to punish the exiles, but also to rely on their labor to create a certain amount of wealth, and use these people to enrich the frontier.

If all people die, these purposes will be futilated.

The high rate of unnatural mortality among exiles in penal colonies is a widespread phenomenon. However, in the case of Bu Kui, the abnormal mortality rate is 31 percent, the flight rate is 8 percent, and the total is nearly 40 percent, which is really too high.

In order to reduce the mortality rate and escape rate, in addition to giving the displaced people a vision of survival and hope for returning to society in the future, improving their living conditions is a realistic way. At the very least, make it bearable for them.

But that's easier said than done!

This requires the investment of huge human, financial, and material resources, as well as various existing systems and institutional constraints, and most importantly, ideological conflicts.

If it is not handled well, if one is not careful, Jia Min's career will be affected.

However, if this situation is not reformed and allowed to continue, the vicious circle may end even worse in the future.

Once the endurance of the exile reaches a critical point, they will take risks and fight to the death.

The riots of last August, which killed the former garrison Chandlu and 20 soldiers, are a painful lesson.

"Okay, give me some time, let me think about it, this is a big deal, I have to think of a foolproof solution."

"I also feel like these things have to change. Now that we've taken over, if someone makes a fuss about it, it will be bad for us in the future. ”

"How is Zhong Ding's trial over there?"

"Lin Dajiang is doing it, but many old people are watching, saying that Zhong Ding is the nephew of General Ningguta, and it depends on what we do."

"General Ningguta, is it the second grade?"

"Yes, the entire northeast of Shengjing is the largest. is very powerful, and in the court, he can be regarded as a figure. ”

"Look at my luck, just take a collar casually, it's a nephew of the second grade. But, so what? Isn't Ma Qiming also indispensable? Aren't we going to bring him down so easily? ”

"As long as we sit straight and walk upright, what can we do even if we meet a few big people? Many people are just paper tigers. Who dares to stand in our way, kill God when encountering God, kill Buddha when encountering Buddha. ”

Looking at Jia Min's resolute face, Feng Ziying felt a strong murderous aura.

While the two were talking, Lin Dajiang came.

"Chief Min, I found more than 5,000 taels of silver in Zhong Ding's house, as well as a few letters."

"Oh, so much silver? Did you bring the letters? ”

Lin Dajiang gave the letter to Jia Min.

This is Zhong Ding's family letter, two are from his wife, one is from his father, and one is from his uncle, his second uncle is indeed Han Tiankui, the general of Ningguta.

The silver was of some use, and he was asked to state the source, and the letters were of little value. Does he have any other place to live? ”

"I asked a few of his subordinates, but they didn't say anything."

"He should have a place to live outside, and find out who he usually has a close relationship with. Now the soldiers still have doubts, they are waiting and watching, and if we have other important evidence, they will turn around. ”

"Get two whistle-blowing boxes and hang them on the street, I don't believe that he Zhong Ding can cover the sky with one hand in Bu Kui."

Feng Ziying and Lin Dajiang smiled at each other: Breaking through from the periphery, this trick is clever.

Just do it, Lin Dajiang immediately found someone and made two informant boxes. One hangs on a ash tree on the side of the Dusi Yamen. The other hung on the edge of the Wong Kee grocery store.

In addition, he wrote several notices, calling on those who are in the know to report and expose Zhong Ding's illegal facts, and those who verify the truth will be rewarded.
