Chapter 901 - You Can't Take Money Randomly, You Can't Talk Nonsense (Part I)
The Imperial Prosecutor's Office soon prosecuted the case of the shabby literati who had taken bribes from foreigners and then smeared the imperial court and the emperor Wang Guorui in the newspapers. And the Supreme Court of the Reich conducted the trial, and according to the order of trial, and this crime of traitor and treason were tried with the highest priority, with the highest priority trial level. Therefore, the criminal cases that were supposed to be tried were also suppressed, so they were also quickly tried soon. And those literati who received wealth from foreigners to discredit the Chinese government and Emperor Wang Guorui were censored. And this is an out-and-out crime of traitor and treason, their so-called uplines in order to survive, and then they also took the initiative to sell their downlines.
In this way, there is no one to "sell" those who are offline, and there is no way to bite out a few to reduce their responsibility, so they will definitely face heavy punishments. Soon, after some evidence comparisons and corresponding evidence, these evidences can actually be found directly in the newspaper. Moreover, some uplines were arrested, and those abnormal bank capital flows were checked again, and the direction of those funds could also be found. Then I found a few professional accountants to review the income of those shabby literati, so that a series of evidence could be formed quickly, which was enough for them to be generalized.
These broken literati are obviously not masters, and they were soon found by those professional case-handling personnel, and it didn't take long for the evidence to be conclusive and ready to pronounce the verdict.
"All the defendants did not have any voluntary confession of repentance, so they were sentenced heavily in accordance with the law. So sentence everyone to death, execute it immediately! In addition, the hanging was carried out in public, and the whole body was allowed to be kept. ”
After the court pronounced the verdict, the literati panicked one by one. They did not expect that they would be sentenced to death. They thought it would be nice to just take some money and take it while swearing? Moreover, it would be sentenced so heavily that it would be hanged. Although they were allowed to keep the whole corpse, it got to the point where they were. Even if you keep the whole corpse, you will die, of course they are not reconciled.
"Freedom of speech, freedom of speech, freedom of speech is a right given to us by our Constitution!"
One by one, the broken literati also began to shout, and then, apparently, they wanted to redeem the results. But those bailiffs didn't care so much, they arrested these dozens of literati, and then they started to walk outside step by step, ready to escort them to the so-called vegetable market for execution. At present, the death penalty is to keep the whole body, and it is rare to use shooting. The literati wore black hoods over their heads. This is actually to prevent the execution of the death penalty when their terrifying faces frighten people.
This way of hanging and wearing a black hood can be carried out in public and without too many bloody scenes. This will not only deter those who want to commit crimes in the future, but also not expose the bloody scene to everyone, so that those adults and children will hurt their hearts and have a negative impact on them.
This is considered a relative "progress", and keeping a whole corpse is also a tradition in China since ancient times, obviously even if you die, you must keep a whole corpse. Originally, beheading did not want to leave them with a whole corpse, and hanging was a means for those who were meritorious or some people who were not so guilty. But. In the West, on the contrary, in the West the ancient aristocracy preferred to be beheaded. Instead, civilians will be hanged. However, in the future, the execution will be carried out by hanging and covering the face with a black hood, which will not be too horrifying.
After being escorted to the execution ground, they were tied to the execution chair and ready to be executed. However, this death penalty has attracted a lot of attention, unlike those who commit murder or ordinary crimes. Those people were executed, so naturally there was nothing to say. But now these are literati, and they are scolding Wang Guorui and the new government in the newspapers, so that they will be sentenced to death. Before, everyone thought it was freedom of speech and could speak casually. And everyone has always thought so, I am afraid that if I scold Wang Guorui, the emperor, I will be detained at most. The sentence is just slander and swearing, and nothing else happens. Even, only those who have a certain influence will be detained and sentenced, and those who say a few words in private will not bother to pay attention to you.
But now dozens of literati are executed at once, which also reminds everyone of the so-called literary prison in the past. You must know that it was less than a full year after the fall of the Manchu Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty's literary prison was the most powerful among all dynasties. Therefore, those feudal literati scolded the new court for many bad, but this freedom of speech was what they supported the most and could not oppose the most. But now the new court is actually going to kill dozens of literati for this, which makes them very worried. They were also afraid that there would be some new text prison, which would be troublesome.
"Ready to execute!"
"Keep people under the knife!"
Immediately, a group of people came out and shouted something "keep people under the knife". This kind of rule of keeping people under the knife has actually existed since ancient times. And even before the execution of the death penalty in the future, they can be given a chance, and if they can present any evidence that the judicial organs have not yet grasped and can assist in the arrest, then the execution can also be suspended. Therefore, now some people are shouting that "people are left under the knife", and according to the so-called law enforcement procedures, there is also a moratorium on the execution of the death penalty, so they have to temporarily suspend the execution of the death penalty.
Those broken literati immediately seemed to feel a glimmer of hope, because they knew that these so-called literati would not just let themselves be killed, because this was a literary prison. They finally came from the very crazy era of the Manchu Dynasty, and naturally they were unwilling to return to an era when the literary prison was prevalent. They are now preventing executions, giving them hope. And the broken literati apparently took out the so-called banners, and then began to protest.
"Freedom of speech, freedom of speech!" "You can't be convicted for your words! You can't kill people by your words! ”……
"What? Maintain order! "Immediately a bailiff will come over to maintain order at the scene.
When the bailiff maintained order, he immediately asked, "Why are you here to interfere with the execution?" Now that we are executing criminals, what do you mean by interfering at this time? ”
"We can't kill people because of our words, didn't the new court say that we wouldn't kill people because of our words?" "Yes! Doesn't it mean that you can't kill people because of your speech? "Freedom of speech is the right that our citizens should have, and this is granted to us by the Constitution!" ……
The guys immediately started yelling, obviously trying to save the guys, so that they would think this was their victory. Because these literati have nothing to do all day long, and then they have to fight to make their voices heard, so that they can also have face and a sense of existence.
In the palace, Wang Guorui heard the report from outside.
"Your Majesty, those literati outside also say that they have freedom of speech, and they can't kill people because of speech. They protested at the execution site, arguing that we could not carry out the death penalty, and even said that the court violated the Constitution! Hu Ling said.
Wang Guorui snorted: "These broken literati actually know how to use the constitution to talk about things? ”
"Your Majesty, judging from the current situation, the Conservatives have some involvement, and they have either sent some small people to participate, and then even secretly provided some support. The so-called constitution, in fact, those who are in tatters know what the constitution is, and they can have such 'experience', which is nothing more than the manipulation of a master behind the scenes. These high-ranking people, in fact, are the Conservatives, and they hope to use this opportunity to attack the reputation of the emperor, so that they can unite those guys and nobles, and then try to use them, so that they can provoke the hostility of the broken literati to the new court. Hu Ling said.
"It turned out to be the Conservative guys who were doing it, I see!" Wang Guorui snorted coldly.
These Conservatives still don't seem to want to die out like this, they want to unite all the forces that can be united, and they will win over people both openly and secretly. However, they are obviously all in vain, because these literati and talents have rebelled for three years. It's okay for these showmen to make trouble one by one, but in the face of absolute force, they can't do anything at all. Once these broken literati are stripped of their so-called privileges and stripped of the so-called divine aura on their heads, they are nothing.
In the past, ordinary peasants regarded them as sacrosanct, but now ordinary peasants dare to treat them inappropriately, and even bargain with them. In fact, these people are also destined to be eliminated, and there is no future at all. So these guys don't have to care, it's easier to clean them up than to clean up anyone, there's no need to worry.
"Okay, I'll explain it myself and let them know that there are some things that can't be done casually. Since they have sacrificed the so-called constitution, it is not good for me not to come forward. Although this constitution is still not very useful at present, it still needs to be used to maintain it in the future, otherwise we will definitely be in trouble. So if I don't come forward, maybe many people will still lose faith in the Constitution! This constitution must be taken seriously, this constitution is a requirement for the long-term rule of our future, and if we fail to uphold the constitution, then all other laws will be gone. Since they use the constitution to talk about things, then we really can't take it lightly! (To be continued.) )
