"This ......" In the face of such a "professional" question from the prime minister of the Lower Five Banners Sect, Zong Ling Yue Le, the scholar and criminal department man Shangshu Jueluo Bahana [1], and Shangfang Yuan Langzhong Sun Ligui, without exception, all stood up.

This little Xuanye just recited the "Great Qing Dynasty Law Collection Interpretation By-Regulations" like a few treasures, and it turned out to be a good word, and now he specifically asked him why he was injured by Sun Gouzi! In the face of such a deliberate question, it would be strange if the people present really knew how to answer!

Jueluo Bahana is not stupid, he knows that according to the provisions of Article 61 of the "Laws and Regulations" in the "Supplementary Regulations on the Collection of Laws of the Great Qing Dynasty", if ordinary people can read, explain, and understand the meaning of the law, even if they commit a mistake or cause a crime due to the involvement of others, as long as it does not involve rebellion, they will be exempted once, regardless of the severity. In the past, if the emperor heard the large part of Xuan Ye's recitation and explanation just now, he could be greatly appreciated immediately.

But now, if he rashly classifies the wounds he has suffered in a certain category, if he is mistaken, it is also in accordance with the provisions of the "Decree on the Reading of the Law", that "if there is anyone who cannot explain and does not know the meaning of the law, the official shall be fined one month and forty lashes."

The most important thing is that this dislocated injury is indeed not clearly stipulated in "Brawl", that is, the injury can be light or severe!

Seeing that the Bahana who understood the most couldn't speak, Hongyi smiled: "The injury is unknown, why was he convicted and sentenced?" Ladies and gentlemen? If you misjudge, how can you convince people? ”

"Xuan Ye, this 'beheading of the prison marquis' is based on the 'beheading decision' issued by the emperor himself, so it is naturally in accordance with the holy decree and in accordance with the law. Only after the ruling of the Shangfang Court, it will be handed over to the Dali Temple, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Criminal Department for 'three divisions of trial', and then reported to the emperor. Even if he goes to the emperor, he will naturally criticize and 'make a decision'. This is a great grace to your emperor, have you forgotten it? Seeing that the other two were speechless, Yue Le hesitated again and again, but decided to come forward. After all, if they delay for a long time, they will lose their grace, and they will lose face as the presiding ministers.

Hearing the word "emperor", with Yue Le's standing fist, the other two chief judges all acted the same. As the prime minister of the Lower Five Banners Sect who supervised the trial, Xuan Ye was injured, and his emperor's little father had already specially approved him to be exempted, so he just stood up from his seat and stood respectfully.

"Xuan Ye didn't dare to forget the mighty grace of Emperor Amma, the day before yesterday, the imperial gate listened to the government, and Emperor Ama said: The slave surnamed Zhang who took the lead will be decided! There were many bad slaves who committed crimes, and all of them were beheaded prisoners. ”

After Hongyi finished relaying, he glanced back at Zhang Gouzi on the ground, and found that after he heard the emperor's holy decree, it seemed that he had heard that he was "acquitted", and he suddenly had the strength to lift his blood-stained face! Through the messy hair, Hongyi actually saw a pair of tears of gratitude - the words "just want to die quickly" are so clearly written in his eyes!

"Then you haven't rushed to the proposal of the Shang Fang Academy?" Yue Le was confused.

"But, Fourth Uncle, Xuan Ye can't fall into the dilemma of Emperor Ama not being separated from his family and country, and his law enforcement is unknown!" Hongyi made a distressed look and startled several people!

"Xuan Ye, you, what do you mean by this?" Yue Le, as the head of the clan, asked earnestly.

"Fourth uncle, according to the laws of the Qing Dynasty, Xuan Ye is only slightly injured: whoever is beaten by the sect will be punished with sixty canes for one year [although there is no injury]; and the wounded shall be punished with eighty rods for two years. According to these two articles, the grandson of the dog can only be roded for 80 years and two years. The rest of the house slaves did not participate in the beating of Xuan Ye: according to the fighting, those who were not injured in the fight were punished with twenty lashes. This is the law of the Qing Dynasty, and it cannot be abandoned! Besides, if the punishment of hanging and beheading is applied, unless Xuan Ye causes illness and death! I don't think the Emperor Ama and your lordships will have such expectations! After Hongyi finished speaking, he bowed to the three of them.

"This, this ......" Bahana looked at Yue Le helplessly.

"Lord Jueluopa, this is exactly what Xuan Ye said just now. Today, I will use the body of my second son of the Qing Emperor, Dorobelle, the prime minister of the Lower Five Banners Sect, and the Minister of the Left President of the Firearms Battalion to establish the majesty of the Qing Dynasty, set an example for the yellow and red belts of the clan, and also exonerate the Qing Dynasty Criminal Department from the burden of pleading for many items! I hope that from today onwards, the Great Qing Sect will take the lead in following the Great Qing Law, if he is not tamed, unless he can be more precious than I love Xinjue Luo Xuanye! ”

After Hongyi finished speaking, he threw down the stunned three chief judges and ignored them, and with the support of Xiao Gongzi, he actually came to the lobby step by step, and squatted in front of Sun Gouzi with "deignence", so frightened that Sun Gouzi immediately shrank into a ball, apparently afraid that Hongyi would give him another kick.

Hongyi surprised everyone, first sighed lightly, and then said earnestly:

"Sun Gouzi, you will not sin to death. If you knew today, why bother in the first place? But now to receive this great punishment, it is really not what I really want. Don't blame me! ”

"Lord Belle! Sinner...... Whining...... Whining...... The sinner Sun Gouzi only wants a quick death to offset Sun Gouzi's disrespectful capital crime towards you! ......" Sun Gouzi actually knelt upright, and then kowtowed fiercely while howling.

"Xiao Gongzi, stop him!" Hongyi's left shoulder was injured and he couldn't exert his strength, so he had to order Liang Gong on the side.

"Don't howl! Didn't you see that my Lord Belle begged for your life just now! Listen up! Liang Gong scolded while stroking Sun Gouzi and kneeling.

Looking at Sun Gouzi, who was helped up and kneeling in front of him, Hongyi continued:

"Sun Gouzi, you remember, you just kicked me. Although I am a member of the clan and a prince, the laws of the Qing Dynasty clearly state that this crime will not lead to death, but only eighty canes for two years! Now that you are being tortured like this, it can be regarded as my inconsiderate fault that day, and these are all counted on my head. If you can come back alive one day, I, Xuan Ye, will definitely compensate you! ”

"Lord Belle, Sun Gouzi really doesn't have to die?" The people of the earth were skeptical.

"Don't worry, the "Supplementary Regulations of the Great Qing Dynasty" makes it clear that you didn't use swords and arrows, you just kicked me, and I just had a misaligned shoulder, no serious injuries, and no internal injuries and disabilities, so you are not a capital crime! As long as he is exiled to the wilderness of the far north and punished as a slave of the armored people, he can be regarded as loyal to the country. After two years, you can return to your hometown, which is the capital! Hongyi said, and actually stretched out his hand to open the messy hair in front of Zhang Gouzi's eyes, showing unbearable color, but he had no disgust!

This move surprised several people behind the table, and they even doubted their eyes for a moment. Even Xiao Gongzi on the side almost couldn't help but stop the master, but remembering the past when the master was close to the lame beggar in the Liuli Factory four days ago, Liang Gong still endured it with interest.

"Lord Shabel's grace not to kill......" Zhang Gouzi understood it, and was about to continue to kowtow fiercely, but he heard it again:

"But, Zhang Gouzi, if you still don't want to repent after staying in vain, continue to be idle, bully others, and look down on people, then, I don't need to personally punish you, that is, you are yourself, in the eyes of the Qing Dynasty officials and people, you have long died, if one person looks down on you, you will die once, and tens of millions of people look down on you, you have already died thousands of times! Understood, no! ”

"Sun Gouzi understands, Sun Gouzi Shabel Ye does not kill! This life is given by you, you are my reinvented parents! Whining...... Sun Gouzi swears allegiance to the emperor, allegiance to the Qing Dynasty, and allegiance to Lord Baylor, you......"

Hongyi finally got up, but he didn't take two steps, turned around again, and said word by word: "Also, you remember, the reader is the most temperamental, and in the future, you must not defile any scholar in the world!" ”

"Sun Gouzi wrote it down, and Sun Gouzi will be a cow and a horse in the next life, and repay the grace of Lord Belle for reconstruction...... Woo woo...... "Sun Gouzi cried silently again.

"Fourth uncle, is what Xuan Ye said feasible?" Hongyi turned around and asked above the lobby.

"Well, according to what you said, after sending it to the three law divisions for trial, it will be submitted to the emperor for approval!" Yue Le understood that what Hongyi said earlier was true, and it could indeed make the red and even yellow belts of the clan dare not make a mistake, and they did not dare to override the law. After all, at the moment of the Qing Dynasty, which clan would be more expensive than Xuan Ye? People dislocated their shoulders, instead of viciously killing their minions, but acting cautiously according to the law, to see which of you dares to shout at every turn that you are "yellow belt" and "red belt", and even make a big fuss in court! [2]

But the conversation between Xuan Ye and Zhang Gouzi just now deeply touched Yue Le by the "reformers of the early Qing Dynasty". What is "dead a million times" in the hearts of officials and people? A small clothed slave and a scoundrel in the market can be punished thousands of times, so by extension, if the official does not make decisions for the people, wouldn't it be according to Xuan Ye's logic, and there is no doubt about the dead?

"What do you think?" Hony is ready to ask for advice one by one.

"Bahana has thanked Lord Belle for his own law, as long as the emperor's decree is approved, then I will be clear, and from now on, there will never be any favoritism!" Bahana saw that Yue Le was gone, and he was more economical in the future and bothered with a group of "yellow belts" who were not easy to serve, why not?

"Master Sun, you?"

"Lord Belle, the slave has no objection, this is a separate draft, and I will present it to you and the two adults!" As the main clerk in today's hall, Sun Ligui of Shangfang Yuan Langzhong immediately called several pen posts, and after a while, he redrafted a verdict, and under the joint witness of the three chief judges and one supervisor, he asked Sun Gouzi to draw a press seal.

When Sun Gouzi was about to be taken away and imprisoned according to the rules, Hongyi deliberately instructed Sun Ligui in front of him:

"Lord Sun, although this person is a repeat offender, he will not be guilty of death. I have also had a relationship with me on several sides, and I implore you of the Shangfang Academy not to embarrass him. When he stays in Ningguta in vain, I will also inspect it myself, and it is better to be fat in vain, or to walk to the place alive, so as to reflect my royal grace and power. Luckily? ”

"Yes, yes, yes! The minions must do it, they must do it! Sun Ligui was busy agreeing, and then intensified, in front of the three officials, he instructed the deputy on the side to diagnose and treat Sun Gouzi's injuries well, and not to be sloppy with three meals a day. Hearing this, Sun Gouzi couldn't cry again, and he had to break free from the servants and kneel in front of Hongyi again and kowtow!

When he took away Sun Gouzi, Hongyi said to Sun Ligui again: "Lord Sun can order the messenger to quietly pass on the matter of today's court trial to the other co-defendants in the prison number, so that they can all know that they can live." ”

"Huh! Minions, let's do it! ”

"Slowly, at the same time, we must arrange for people to quietly check their performance, especially that Sun Gouzi, if they pick up a life and still do not change their nature, they will also send someone to tell the leader of Liang Gong of the Second Institute, and let him report to me!"

"Huh!"

Listening to the words of these two people, Yue Le nodded secretly, and Bahana was amazed in his heart: The little prince in front of him, no wonder he can sit as a high-ranking official at the age of two, that scheming and that means are definitely comparable to others! In the future, we must serve well, and in the future, we will also get the benefit of "one person who has the Tao and the chicken dog ascends to heaven"!

"Lord Wang, after the results of this Shangfang Academy's deliberation are submitted to Huang Ama, can you ask a few of you to meet with Xuan Ye and explain in person?" Hongyi pleaded.

"It's just right, the dignified prime minister interceded with the prisoner who hurt himself, if you don't go, this king is still worried that the emperor will punish me and others!" Yue Le said something from the bottom of his heart.

"Rest assured, this matter is all Xuan Ye's idea alone, and I don't think Huang Ama will ever blame you. Moreover, there should be a few more rewards! "Hongyi swears.

Out of Shangfang Courtyard, Hongyi did not go east along the Guanzi River into the Xuanwu Gate and return to the East Second Institute, but went directly to the west out of Xi'an Gate, and went to the mansion of Ji Kaisheng near the Liulichang and the right of the military department......

[2] In the official history, there was a farce of the clan "yellow belt" beating officers and soldiers later. It was on the seventh day of the fifth lunar month in the thirteenth year of Jiaqing (1808), a "yellow ribbon" named Minxue, after drinking a little "Erguotou", came out of the barber shop after shaving his head, and suddenly saw a roasted sweet potato seller on the street. He couldn't help but wonder in his heart: Why do you still sell roasted sweet potatoes on such a hot day? Could it be an impostor? So, Min Xuewen asked the seller of roasted sweet potatoes: "Is your sweet potato real or fake?" The roasted sweet potato seller replied, "How can sweet potatoes be fake?" Min Xue said: "I think your sweet potato is fake." You take one and let me see. "The seller of roasted sweet potatoes handed Minxue a roasted sweet potato. Min Xue took it and took a bite, thinking: It's really a sweet potato. However, how can the "yellow ribbon" lose its share in front of the roasted sweet potato seller? So, he threw the roasted sweet potato on the ground and said, "Even real sweet potatoes are not good!" A smell of pickled radish. After saying that, Minxue turned around and wanted to leave. The handful of roasted sweet potatoes grabbed Minxue and said, "You have nothing to find fault with, compensate me for sweet potatoes!" Min Xue has always been domineering, and he immediately shouted: "Call me!" "A housekeeper immediately stepped forward and beat the seller of roasted sweet potatoes; Minxue also added his fists and kicks, and beat the roasted sweet potato seller with blood on his face and kneeling on the ground to ask for mercy. As soon as the master and servant of Minxue started, passers-by went to report to the official. The soldiers of the infantry commander Yamen arrived, restrained Minxue, and handcuffed him. Min Xue was furious, forgetting that he didn't tie the "yellow belt", so he scolded the infantry commander Yamen soldiers. The soldiers pushed and shoved Minxue to the "pile room" (a police agency in the Qing Dynasty). Seeing that something was wrong, Min scholar Ding hurriedly ran back to the house to call someone. After a while, more than a dozen family members rushed to the "stacking room" with knives and sticks. As soon as Min Xue saw the reinforcements coming, he suddenly came to his senses. He jumped up, and the commanders beat up the soldiers of the "stacking room", smashed the windows of the "stacking room", and destroyed the weapon racks. zuihou, Minxue pointed to the chief of the "pile room" and said: "You remember it for me, my name is Minxue, 'Yellow Belt'." You can sue wherever you fall in love, I'll wait at home! After speaking, he led the family members away. The incident occurred in the downtown area of Beijing, and there were many onlookers. The infantry commanders, yamen commanders, and soldiers not only suffered from the guilt, but also felt very shameless. So, the officers and soldiers filed a complaint and sued Minxue to the court. When Emperor Jiaqing learned of this, Long Yan was furious. Since he succeeded to the throne, he has received constant reports of "yellow belts" gathering crowds to make trouble, killing and injuring people, and oppressing the people. Emperor Jiaqing immediately decided: to take Minxue to open the knife and stop the unhealthy trend of the "yellow belt" in order to maintain the dignity of the Qing imperial family. Emperor Jiaqing issued an order: to expel Minxue from the "clan", replay 40 boards outside the palace gate, and assign the "accompanying capital" Shengjing (Shenyang), strictly control, and never be allowed to return to Beijing; Qin Chengen, the secretary of the Criminal Department, fabricated the facts, exonerated Min Xue, and was dismissed from his post as the secretary of the Criminal Department. Subsequently, Emperor Jiaqing ordered the "Zongren Mansion" to report the "idle clan" and "yellow belt" with misconduct, plus Minxue, a total of 70 households, together with the "accompanying capital" Shengjing.
