Chapter 197: The Last Dress
Dali Temple is the central judicial organ in charge of criminal prisons in ancient China, in which Dali is an ancient official name in China, Dali means: the ancient name is in charge of punishment, and it is also said to be reasonable. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoEmperor Jing of the Han Dynasty increased the word, and took the prison of the heavenly officials and nobles to say the righteousness of Dali. Temple, "Shuowen" cloud "Tingye", that is, refers to the palace guards, and the official office of the temple people in the future is also called "temple", such as "Dali Temple", "Taichang Temple" and so on. Therefore, "temple" did not refer specifically to Buddhist temples, but to general government offices and government offices.
Dali Temple is the central judicial organ, Sanskrit, "temple" is called "Sangha Blue", which means "the garden where the monks live" Since the Sui and Tang dynasties, the temple as an official office is becoming less and less, and gradually become a special term for Chinese Buddhist architecture.
The original purpose of the Dali Temple was that the judicial power of local officials was too great, and they could execute death row prisoners on their own, resulting in many unjust, false and wrongful cases. In order to summarize the prison, Dali Temple was established as a review organ.
If you want to compare it with the modern public security and judicial system, Dali Temple is almost equivalent to the Supreme Court.
But it is only a part of the Supreme Court, for example, the judicial system of the Tang Dynasty was divided into three parts, Dali Temple, Criminal Department and Yushitai.
Among them, Dali Temple is responsible for the trial of the crimes of the central hundred officials, the cases of the Beijing master apprenticeship (compulsory labor) and the difficult cases reported by the state and county, and after the examination and approval, they are sent to the Criminal Department for review, and then reported to the Zhongshu Sect, and the major cases and death sentences should be submitted to the emperor for approval; The Criminal Department is responsible for reviewing the Dali Temple for the crime of exile and the state and county sentenced to imprisonment or above, the death penalty regardless of whether in Beijing or abroad, must be replayed by the Criminal Department, ask the emperor for approval, and then review the judgment by the Dali Temple; The Imperial Historical Observatory is responsible for supervising the judicial affairs of the Dali Temple and the Criminal Department. There are big and important cases, Dali Temple, the Criminal Department and the Yushitai want to send people to jointly try the case, called the "Three Divisions of the Judge", and later it has a more popular name, called "Three Divisions of Trial".
The robbery of the grain in Guangzhou shocked the world, the official wealth is the weight of a country, and it represents the supreme majesty of the imperial power, such an Anzi can be described as a big case, **** as the prefect of Guangzhou The robbed grain is the grain of the Guangzhou Mansion, and the most important thing is that the place where the robbery was carried out happened to be in the territory of Guangzhou Mansion. It can be said that he can't escape a joint responsibility no matter what, not to mention that he is the chief official and the culpability is added, and he can almost only wait for death in Dali Temple before the case is revealed.
In fact, **** is also very clear that this case is full of doubts. Whether it was the killing of the soldiers or the disappearance of the thieves, it is a problem that this was an organized and premeditated robbery, and that these thieves were ruthless and even fearless of the laws of the country.
You must know that such a felony is almost a major crime of the Zhulian Nine Clans, and if these people dare to do it, they have already forgotten everything, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is extremely vicious.
Since he was escorted to Beijing, he has long been in despair. This is a mystery that can never be solved, he can't, not even the officials of Guangdong Province, so he must die, only when he dies those people can continue to be officials, and only when he dies can some people be at ease.
But he didn't accept it, why did he die? He was unwilling, he had a beautiful wife at home, and his original life was so beautiful, but once he was convicted. So what will happen to the family? As you can imagine, it's absolutely miserable......
But he could do nothing but wait for death in a dark prison.
One day....
Two days....
......
Time passed under the window above him, and no one had ever asked about him since he had been imprisoned, and it seemed that all people had forgotten him.
"Whoa!"
"Whoa!"
The chains of the prison are being opened.
The door to the prison was opened, and the sound of two men talking could be heard, followed by the sound of dripping footsteps.
I couldn't help but smile bitterly, they finally came!
Got up from the broken bed, poured some water into his hand with the only broken teapot in the corner, and slowly wiped it on his face, he just wanted to wash his face cleanly, if it was too dirty, he was worried that his wife and daughter would not recognize him!
Then it's time to comb your hair. In fact, **** hasn't combed his hair for a long time, there is no comb here, not even a fish bone, only the bean-sized lice keep crawling on his body. But today he didn't kill them as usual, but grabbed these vampires and ate them, it was something with a salty and salty taste, but it was meat without a hint of meat, but he ate it, it was nourished by the blood in his body, and every piece of soft flesh in them was his own essence and blood. Thinking that since they are already fat, they should die, just like themselves, when it is time to die, those people can't wait, maybe they have also thought about saving themselves, but there is nothing they can do.
This is officialdom, this is people's hearts!
During this time in prison, he kept thinking that if he hadn't gone to Guangzhou, if he hadn't taken the imperial examination, if he had ..... There weren't so many ifs, and the footsteps were already in my ears.
He sat cross-legged on the straw mat and closed his eyes and waited.
However, no one shouted, only the cry of a woman came from front of her, and then there were drops of water, crackling in the quiet of the cell.
"Daddy! ... Woo.. Daddy, my daughter is not filial, I came to see you! ”
Where has Xia Yuhe ever seen her father fall to such an appearance, the whole prison exudes a stench that is difficult to breathe, there are still a few weeds on the mossy ground, she even saw a person who has rotted half of his thigh and looked weakly at the faint light in front of the prison, and her father is like a soulless zombie, gray and dirty, waiting for something, the emaciated cheekbones are protruding but such a familiar face..... Before we met, tears were already raining down.
Raising his head, **** couldn't believe his eyes: "He'er, He'er!" What are you doing here? ”
A thousand words turned into old tears at this moment, and the person who came when **** thought he was about to wait for the end of his fate was actually his daughter! She should have been in Guangzhou, but when the person came to his eyes, he saw a young scholar beside Xia Yuhe, with a face like a crown of jade, and nodded at him with a smile.
But **** is like five thunderbolts, and a fear arises spontaneously in my heart, is it possible...... Could it be .......
He didn't dare to think about it, what kind of place was this! This is the prison of Dali Temple, and the person who can enter here is a small role? But her daughter came in, she was just a weak woman without her own protection, but she still came in, did she want to sacrifice herself? But did she think that by sacrificing herself, she really rescued him, a dying man? The case has been resolved, and the reason why there is no verdict is only because the people in Guangdong are still fabricating charges for themselves......
What a heavenly injustice this is, but he put away his tears, he can't cry, he wants to leave a good image for his daughter, he wants to be the man next to him not to deceive his daughter because of his own affairs, since he can come in, then he must be a nobleman, maybe with his daughter's appearance, he will treat her well!
He'er, there's only so much Daddy can do for you! secretly said in his heart, he had already made a decision, and he would hang himself after Xia Yuhe left, such a result might be good for everyone, maybe his wife would suffer a little, but his daughter would survive.
PS: The second shift was sent, the guests left in the afternoon, and it took most of the day to only 2 shifts, and the three shifts will be resumed from tomorrow!
