Chapter 236: Judgment (II)

This move is invincible, and all the civilians in the Huai'an army, whether they are forced to join like Lu Luzeng, or those who were selected under Zhu Eighty-one through the imperial examination, are deeply disgusted when they mention the cruelty of the Mengyuan court.

And to establish a system different from that of the Mongol and Yuan courts, to eliminate the negative influence of the Mongols on China, is very tempting for them, and almost every time Zhu Bayi proposes it, it can receive excellent results.

This time, it was also immediate, after everyone heard it, they immediately felt that the criminal law formulated this time was indeed more influenced by the Mengyuan court, and they didn't see the tolerance and benevolence during the two Song Dynasty, so they blushed and responded in a low voice: "The lord said that the Song law is indeed rare corporal punishment, but if the wartime law is too lenient."

"It's nothing but it's not, military law and civil law are different, this time everyone formulated a civil law, it doesn't matter if it's a little more relaxed, and Zhu has always believed that the law doesn't care about leniency, but whether it is appropriate, whether it can be implemented fairly, if anyone says a word to bend the law for personal gain, or law enforcement always varies from person to person, no matter how strict the law is, it is also a pile of waste paper, on the contrary, if all the rules are followed, the prince is guilty of the same crime as the people, and the people will naturally be convinced, even if they are a little more tolerant, No one wants to go to the prison to play, what do you think? ”

"This." Everyone was shocked by Zhu Eighty-one's novel statement again, and his own chief manager had this benefit, although he always put forward some strange ideas, he could always justify himself, and it sounded quite like that, which made it difficult for people to refute it.

How did they know that at this moment, Zhu Eighty-one still has the memory of another world in his body, and in that world five hundred years later, the Chinese are in an era of opening their eyes and absorbing the world's knowledge and spiritual heritage without discriminating between good and bad, and anyone who has received enough education above high school has to accept all kinds of information from different regions of the world every day, and is affected by various social trends of thought, and cannot refuse if he wants to.

In other words, at this moment, Zhu Ba has a huge library in his head, although a lot of knowledge is incomplete, only scratched on the scales, and even contradicts each other, but when it comes to a wide range of things, it is past any library building in the last years of the Yuan Dynasty, picking up personal accidents, political and power schemes, any civilian under his command, and even some military generals, will not be worse than him, but when it comes to profound knowledge and well-informed, it is impossible for all the scholars in the entire Huai'an army to surpass him together.

It is the result of 700 years of human evolution, and it also involves the exchange between the East and the West, the collision of ancient ideas and modern culture, and the adjustment of the Chinese civilization to itself and the adaptation to the whole world after all the catastrophes.

"That's it, try it according to my idea, if it doesn't work, let's change it in a few years, anyway, our Huai'an Army has just been established, and there is no ancestral law." Seeing that everyone was moved by what he said, Zhu Bayi continued to knock on bricks and nails.

The Huai'an Army is a group that has no historical baggage, nor does it have any established future direction, so it is not very reluctant to try some new things that have never been seen before, and Zhu Bayi's current presence in this group has already established absolute authority through one victory after another, so after some persuasion, they conditionally accepted his viewpoint, and then after some bargaining, finally determined a preliminary draft of the criminal law.

Among the five types of capital punishments, chopping, beheading, hanging, and chopping, the thousands of knives and car splits were completely canceled, because in the years when the Mengyuan court was in power, fewer and fewer people were sentenced to these two punishments, and the Huai'an army claimed to be a civilized army, of course, it could not be more barbaric than the Mengyuan court.

In the eyes of Lu Luzeng and others, there are two completely different treatments for the dead and the dead without the whole corpse, so for the great traitor, he must be allowed to be in a different place, so as to set an example, only for those who are implicated and sentenced to death, or those who are executed under various other circumstances, they will be hanged, and as for the donkey, it is completely the treatment of meritorious men or well-educated people, and ordinary people have no right to enjoy it at all.

Maybe hundreds of years later, in Zhu Dapeng's world, it is a joke to divide a death sentence into three, six, nine, etc., but in the world in front of him, he is limited by people's thinking patterns, and he can't do it completely by his own temperament.

In the more than 70 years of rule, the government has always only recognized money and is unreasonable, and the social status of big businessmen is relatively higher than that of the Song Dynasty, so spending money to atone for sins has long been considered an acceptable thing among the people, and there is no need for Zhu Bayi to put any effort to implement it.

Since even the severed leg and palace punishment could be exchanged for imprisonment and fines, other types of more minor corporal punishments, purely for the purpose of insult and punishment, were more likely to be abolished, so that the entire criminal law was greatly simplified, and in the end, Lu Luzeng was left with only two or three thin pages of paper in his hand, which was simpler and clearer than the criminal law of any era since the Wei and Jin dynasties.

"When Gaozu entered the customs, he abolished the Qin punishment, but only made three chapters with his father" Looking at the thin pages that were rearranged in his hand, Lao Jinshi couldn't help but sigh with emotion, as a person who had been an official in both the local and central areas, he never imagined that one day, the punishment methods and tricks for criminals would become so few, so small that the county order did not need to hire any criminal masters, and he could judge the case by casually flipping through it.

"I will issue it tomorrow, so that the officials at all levels will follow this in the future." Zhu Eighty-one has been a little anxious recently, and he likes to do everything in one go, "When Zhang Mingjian and others are tried publicly, this sentence will also be followed, lest they feel that our Huai'an Army is unfair." ”

"Yes." Lu Lu Zeng and others gave up their orders.

"Has the venue been cleared, who is responsible for interrogating them, if there is no one, Zhu will personally come to be the chief judge." Zhu Bayi thought for a moment and continued to ask.

"My lord, by all means." Lu Luzeng, Chen Ji and others dissuaded in unison, "There are empty on all sides, there are many people, in case there are chaotic soldiers who slip through the net nearby, or assassins sent by Meng Yuan, the ministers and others will die in a hundred ways." ”

This reason is not sufficient, Zhu Bayi shook his head lightly, "As for it, our guards are not decorations." ”

"No matter how good the martial arts are, who can prevent the big gun." All the staff members still dissuaded in unison, saying that they would not let Zhu Eighty-one be the chief judge.

They have all seen the power of the big gun, although it is difficult to hit accurately, but within a distance of two hundred steps, it must be killed by a bullet, in addition, the grenades commonly used by the Red Turban Army themselves, the power is also amazing, with the current state of chaos, no one can be sure, these things have passed through the hands of other Red Turban princes, spread to the court.

Zhu Bayi argued for a long time, but he was never able to explain everyone, so he had to give up his plan to be the main judge and hand over the task of trying the case to Robben, who joined the army.

The latter was in the Huai'an Army, and most of the time he assumed the responsibility of joining the army in the Ming Law, so he was no stranger to how to judge the case.

Three days later, the trial was held in front of the ruins of the former Yangzhou Mansion Yamen, on a vacant lot cleared out in advance, because they had been notified in advance, the refugees in Yangzhou City crowded the surrounding area into a sea of people, and some clever people even ran to stand in a good position one night in advance, built several benches with bricks and wood, and then sold them to those who had a deep hatred for Zhang Mingjian at the price of ten copper coins and a seat, and actually earned a small sum, enough to buy food and eat for several days.

"Come on, bring Zhang Mingjian." Robben, who joined the army, slapped the startled wood with his hand, learned the appearance of the Qingtian master in the excerpt play, and broke off loudly.

"Take Zhang Mingjian, take Zhang Mingjian, and ,,,, Wu ,,,,!" The officials of Yangzhou City, who were temporarily summoned from among the victims, opened their voices and sang very professionally.

Soon, Zhang Mingjian was lifted out of the prison and dragged into the trial ground, among the surrounding people, there was immediately a burst of angry shouts, countless people holding stones and bricks, desperately squeezing forward, thanks to the Huai'an military preparation first, sent enough soldiers, and built a wall with their bodies and shields on the innermost side, so that they were not swarmed by everyone and beat the criminals to death.

"Kill him, kill this inhuman dog thief."

"A thousand cuts, a thousand cuts will cut this dog thief."

"Master Qingtian, you must kill him."

Unable to take revenge with their own hands, the people could only cry loudly outside the circle, and some of the servants who had been victimized in the family were also red-eyed and gritted their teeth to cluck, just waiting for Robben to say the word "hit", he rushed over and gave Zhang Mingjian a killing stick first.

After Zhang Mingjian was captured alive by Zhizhou Li Song, he had already understood that he was in a catastrophe, so he deliberately pretended to be a bachelor before, wanting to take advantage of the opportunity to be tried by the public to be a good man, and at this moment he heard the roar of the surrounding landslide and tsunami, and couldn't help but tremble in his heart, the heroic spirit that had been brewing for a long time was gone, and he didn't wait for Robben to ask, so he knelt down and shouted loudly, "Sin General Zhang Mingjian, meet Mr. Zhu, please Mr. Zhu for the sake of you and I are both military generals, give the sin general a good time, Under the nine springs of sin, I will also be grateful to Mr. Zhu for his great kindness. ”

"Rip him off, rip off this inhuman dog thief."

"A thousand cuts, a thousand cuts will cut this dog thief."

When the surrounding people saw that Zhang Mingjian had suddenly become so cowardly, they became more and more angry, waving the bricks and wooden blocks in their hands, and continued to roar loudly.

"Silence." The presiding judge, Robben, slapped the wood in surprise and broke off loudly.

"Might,,,, Martial ,,,,! Mighty ,,,, Martial ,,,,!" The officials of Yangzhou City, who had temporarily gathered from among the victims, sang a solemn song on the ground beaten with water and fire sticks, and quickly suppressed the noise around them.

Seeing that the people gradually stopped making noise, Robben, who joined the army, arched his hand in the direction of the handsome tent and said loudly, "You are mistaken, this official is Luo Ben, who joined the army under the account of General Zhu, but you don't dare to pretend to be the head of my family." ”

"You, you're not Zhu, Manager Zhu." When Zhang Ming heard this, he immediately felt humiliated, and he struggled to get up, but immediately two officials rushed over and struck him his kneecap with a water and fire stick, knocking him to the ground again.

"Well played, a good cane!"

"First brother, when you make money from the canal in the spring of next year, we will invite you to drink."

There was immediately another cheer around him, and they all applauded the officials who beat people, and Robben, who joined the army, was so angry that he slapped the wood again, "Slap, don't make a loud noise, and you, who told you to beat him, if he wants to stand, let him stand and talk, let's Huai'an Army, there is no kneeling." ”

"Ah, yes, yes, the little one knows it's wrong, the little one knows it's wrong, please forgive the adult, please forgive the adult." When the "first brother" heard this, he hurriedly arched his hands to make amends.

"Pull him up for me." Robben didn't bother with a servant, glared at the other party, and ordered loudly.

"Yes, yes." Two officials, one on the left and one on the right, lifted Zhang Mingjian from the ground.

Zhang Mingjian had just suffered a loss, his two kneecaps hurt like pins and needles, and he didn't dare to talk about seniority anymore, so he arched his hand at Robben and thanked him loudly, "Thank you, thank you for this Luo Ye, the sinner Zhang Mingjian, today I want to die, please Luo Ye give the sin a good time, don't let the sin will be humiliated by these villains again." ”

"As long as you answer the words of the official carefully, the officer assures that no one will humiliate you again until you are convicted." Robben, who joined the army, glanced at him, smiled and nodded, "Someone, bring a brick for Zhang Mingjian, and ask him to sit down." ”

"This, yes." The officials hesitated and agreed, and with a stomach full of confusion, they took out a huge blue brick from the ruins, put it on the ground, and used it as a seat for Zhang Mingjian.

Zhang Mingjian didn't expect that he still had the qualifications to sit and talk today, so his mind immediately moved, secretly looked at Luo Ben, and then looked at the side of the chief judge, and the old man of Yangzhou who was sitting in a row, raised his hand that was chained, and bowed to salute: "In front of Luo Ye and the elders, how can there be a seat for the guilty general, just ask Luo Ye, and the guilty general will answer truthfully." ”

"It's fine." Luo Ben, who joined the army, was not polite, knocked on the table with a startled wood, and asked in a deep voice, "Zhang Mingjian, this official asks you, on the eighteenth of last month, the case of ransacking Yangzhou by the rebels and killing people and setting fires was not instigated by you, who else was involved in the same case, who did you assign, please invite it truthfully." ”
