At the beginning of each month, the Supreme Court will hand over the summary of the previous month's work to the royal family, and Zhang Wei will browse it whenever he has time. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the work report in March, there was a small case that attracted Zhang Wei's attention.

The Li family of Jinshi County, Surabaya City, they have settled in the local area for the fifth generation, and the male direct members of the whole family have reached more than 60 people.

When Lan Fangjun arrived, they came forward to call on the local gentry and civilians to stabilize the market order, actively support the work of Lan Fangjun, and won the favor of the local government and the garrison.

Later, when the government recruited police officers and local administrative officials, the family actively responded to the government's call and sent more than 10 direct and collateral family members to participate in the assessment of the police force and local government officials, and many of them successfully passed the examination and became police or government officials.

At that time, the policy was that all administrative staff were appointed to serve in different places, while the police were mainly employed locally.

The Li family is famous and rich in Surabaya, and since they were young, the family has been willing to invest in their descendants, and they are stronger than ordinary personnel in terms of culture and behavior, so after they became police officers and civil servants, relying on their flexible way of doing things, they have soon been improved to varying degrees, and several families have even become the directors of police stations in several towns.

The fourth son of the Li family, is one of the better of these people, and in a few years he became the deputy county magistrate of Yanwang County, Linxian County, and the deputy county magistrate of Jinshi County happened to be from the Zhao family of Yanwang County.

The direct members of the two families are the deputy county magistrates in each other's localities, and the family members work in the local police department, which creates good conditions for them to seek personal gain.

With the help of the rapid economic development of the Xia Empire, the Li family has also achieved a leap forward on the original basis, and the family assets have increased several times in just a few years, expanding the original wooden ship construction factory, upgrading the textile factory, purchasing new cargo ships, expanding the scale of shipping, and establishing clothing, bricks, and food factories, and setting up a construction engineering team, transportation team, etc., becoming a model of national enterprises in Surabaya City.

With the help of the Li family's extensive connections and the interest groups formed by family members, the Li family gradually transformed into a local tyrant.

Recruited some local ruffians and hooligans from their hometowns on the mainland, helped them immigrate to the territory where the Li family was located, and let them start a family and start a business in the local area, become vassals of the Li family, and become a tool for the Li family to do many evils and endanger their neighbors.

In the county or town where it is located, it is necessary to purchase all other transport vehicles of small households, and no other personnel engaged in transportation business are allowed to exist except for the Li family, monopolizing the local transportation industry; If the transport vehicle is not sold to the Li family or the business is stopped, all kinds of troubles will soon come to the door, and several farmers even died in accidents while running and transporting the farm.

Individual shippers were forced to sell cargo ships to the Li family at a low price, and for those who disobeyed, several cargo ships were burned, resulting in the destruction of the family.

Forcing other store owners to sell their stores to the Li Family Group at a low price, otherwise, there will be a fire or casualties in the near future, resulting in the store being unable to continue operating and being forced to sell at a low price.

Accompany each other's bids, crack down on dissidents, and win a lot of local infrastructure projects; Fictitious costs, shoddy, and huge profits.

collude with local governments to buy urban construction land at a low price, divide it and then sell it at a high price; The shantytown was renovated, the family thugs threatened the residents to relocate at a low price, the disobedient were evicted by force, and the police secretly supported the people's grievances.

Workers work longer hours, exceed the standards set by the state, and refuse to pay overtime wages.

Tax evasion.

Secretly dealing in opium and establishing underground smoke houses.

Bribery.

It wasn't until a problem with the food supply for the elementary and middle schools caused food poisoning to children in many local schools that the county government and the prefectural police department began to figure out what had happened.

As a special case, the Supreme Court included this case in its work summary.

Zhang Wei saw the essence of the matter from this case.

Zhang Wei had to admire the wisdom of the Chinese, this is an underworld family, and there is not much difference between the methods of collusion between officials and businessmen of real estate companies for personal gain a hundred years later, and decided that this kind of case must be severely punished, and as a case, it will be reported to people at all levels across the country, so that successful people in society can take warning, let people at the bottom of society know how to ask for help when they encounter similar things, and let the citizens of the empire understand a truth, that is, evil does not prevail over good.

The secretary was ordered to call the Prime Minister Chung Do-woo and the President of the Supreme Court of the Reich.

Zhang Wei handed the case materials to Zheng Daoyou and said, "How to deal with this kind of case?" ”

When the two got together to read the case file, Zhang Wei continued: "I am very distressed that there is such a dark side under the glossy exterior of the empire, and the Supreme Court's decision is only an itch in the boots, and it does not have a deterrent effect at all, and even encourages the occurrence of such incidents." ”

"What does Your Majesty think should be done?" Dianzheng asked, looking up.

"Killing, not killing is not enough to anger the people, not killing is not enough to comfort those who have died unjustly, not killing is not enough to arouse the vigilance of similar people; All family assets were confiscated and compensation was paid to the victims; The remaining family members of the nine clans will be deprived of their citizenship, and all of them will be assigned to the mines, and they will be enslaved forever and will never be pardoned; Whoever dares to damage the foundation of the empire, I will cut off the roots of his family, let them cut off their children and grandchildren, and never turn over, so that everyone will not have a fluke mentality. Zhang Wei said viciously.

"Your Majesty, is that too heavy? The law pays attention to one person doing things and one person is responsible, and the crime is not as good as the family! Dianzheng retorted.

This reminded Zhang Wei of many things in his previous life, smashing and killing people happened from time to time, and the last conviction was the ponyboy, and the people behind it would secretly help, and if it was really impossible to save, they would also treat their families well; Corrupt officials are extremely greedy, crazy to steal wealth, and in the end, even if something happens, he is the only one who is convicted, and the family members are still at large, suffering him one, happy family, sacrificing him, creating a huge family, if the officials protect each other well, more people will become fish that have slipped through the net, this kind of business is too cost-effective; At that time, he was also gritting his teeth with hatred and being powerless, and now that he is in power, he must not let something like this happen again.

So Zhang Wei said: "There is a saying in China since ancient times, it is not unreasonable for the father to repay the debt of the son; If the father is prosperous, and his son benefits the most, then why can't his father's debt be repaid by the son? Why can we only gain but not give? This is unfair, rights and obligations are not equal! Failure to punish them harshly will make more people have this kind of speculative mentality; Also, you are talking about the theory of Western countries, which is not completely suitable for the current Chinese, China has always regarded the family as the smallest social unit since ancient times, and Western countries have transformed into individuals, and the individual has become the smallest social unit; Since ancient times, Chinese have faced the family first, and then the society, which is the essential difference; At present, many Chinese families have the reality of the scholar clan but do not have the virtue of the scholar clan, and they must be allowed to take caution. ”

Zheng Daoyou said: "Your Majesty, will this cause social turmoil and make national capital move to foreign countries? ”

Zhang Wei said with an iron face: "Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts, upright, and don't have crooked minds of enterprises and families, will only be more welcoming to this kind of policy of the empire, which is conducive to fair competition, and those who migrate away are all unscrupulous, for this kind of black sheep, leave early and be clean early; And even if they leave, if they are later excavated for violating the law and committing crimes, they will be arrested even if they are chased to the ends of the earth, and if the person has died, they will arrest his descendants and blame them, don't think that they are safe if they leave, and don't think that they will be fine if they leave. ”

Zheng Daoyou said: "Your Majesty, is it the School of Administration, it no longer recruits low-level government officials, I feel that this kind of thing will not occur in the system." “

"Good people, upright people still exist, the important thing is to guide, not to waste food because of choking."

"I'm really sorry, Your Majesty, it's all because the government has not done a good job, so that there are black sheep in the government and the police force; In my opinion, in the future, officials in other places will have to be exchanged to other provinces, but it is not enough to exchange in this province. Zheng Daoyou said with some guilt.

"According to the wisdom of the Chinese, even if you go to other continents, they will also establish contacts with each other in a roundabout way, and without a perfect legal and supervision mechanism, as well as a certain deterrent, they will still go forward and defy the law." Zhang Wei asserted: "The thinking of the Chinese people cannot be changed in a short period of time, for example, so many people are threatened and persecuted, and no one has to denounce it, mainly because they are worried that the officials will protect each other, and the denunciation will be subject to more crazy retaliation, so our government must take the initiative to clean up this kind of black sheep as soon as possible, so as not to let the honest people suffer more harm." “

Dian Zheng also felt that there was a problem in the court system, so many people did not go to the court to sue, and they still did not trust the court system, so he said: "Your Majesty, the court is very derelict in its duties, I will severely punish such cases according to Your Majesty's requirements, immediately introduce legal amendments, inform the citizens of the whole empire of the handling of cases, and require the national court system to carry out dragnet inspections in their jurisdictions, and the courts in various places should increase publicity efforts to make everyone realize that the fairness and justice of the courts are a talisman for the citizens of the empire." “

"You should have done this a long time ago, don't stay in the office and wait for the victim to come to you, so that you will be more and more distant from the people of the Empire, and you will eventually become bureaucrats instead of tools for the citizens of the Empire to uphold justice." Zhang Wei affirmed the method of canonization.

Zheng Daoyou also pledged to strengthen the management and supervision of cadres after returning to China, and to conduct a detailed investigation among public servants across the country to see if other places are also black sheep.

"Your inspection and self-examination are all good methods, but don't attack each other, or even use them as a tool to eliminate dissent, and severely punish false accusations such as fabricating facts, otherwise making false accusations against each other out of nothing will be more harmful to society." Zhang Wei pointed.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The Supreme People's Court of the Xia Empire announced the cases of the Li family in Jinshi County and the Zhao family in Yanwang County, as well as the deputy county magistrates of the two counties, to all strata of the empire, and publicized them in all provinces, counties, towns, government organs, enterprises, and institutions, and organized personnel to study them, so that everyone could realize that the laws of the empire were supreme, and those who dared to defy the law would be severely punished by the empire.

Indeed, as Zhang Wei and Zheng Daoyou thought, people from all walks of life in the empire, some cheered, and some trembled.

Because the cost of breaking the law was too high, the empire was in a safe period for a while, and no one dared to gamble with the lives of the whole family anymore; Even those who have violated the law and discipline in the past have actively confessed to the government and made corresponding compensation, hoping to get leniency from the government.
