The autumn decision includes two trial seasons: the autumn trial and the court trial.

For those convicts who have been sentenced to beheading or hanging, the three legal divisions -- the Criminal Department, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Dali Temple -- are retried every autumn by the three legal divisions -- the Criminal Department, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Dali Monastery -- together with the relevant dignitaries of all parties, and submit them to the emperor for ruling.

After the autumn trial, the court trial is carried out from 10 days after the frost falls to the winter solstice every year. It is mainly to re-examine the suspicious and pitiful persons in the cases of beheading and hanging in prison sentences adjudicated by the Criminal Department or in the vicinity of the capital. After the trial, it was still submitted to the emperor for ruling.

The trial results are divided into four categories: "facts", "suspended decision", "acceptable", and "retained and honored". Only the category of "truth" should be handed over to the imperial pen to be removed and executed, and the other three categories can save a life.

This is the state's tradition of "prudent punishment," and as long as it is not a heinous crime that is "beheaded" or "hanged," and is subjected to the autumn trial and the court trial, at least more than three-quarters of the chance of being spared. Although there were remnants of this kind of death penalty review procedure from the Tang and Song dynasties, the real formation of the legal system was still in the Tianshun period of Yingzong.

Emperor Yingzong was an emperor with great ups and downs. As the eldest son of Emperor Xuanzong, he was only nine years old when he first ascended to the pole, and his era name was orthodox.

He was the unlucky emperor who was captured by the Warats during the Tumubao Rebellion. This emperor, who listened to the great eunuch Wang Zhen and was enough to be included in the ranks of faint monarchs, was placed under house arrest by Nangong for eight years, and the liaison minister launched a change to seize the door and became the supreme emperor again.

This time, his era name is Tianshun.

After Emperor Tianshun ascended to the pole, he reflected on himself many times, appointed virtuous ministers, and especially showed the image of a benevolent monarch. He was worried that there would still be people who had been wronged in the autumn trial, so he added an additional court trial. He also officially put an end to the system of concubines being buried for the Daxing Emperor, and issued a series of decrees to protect the personal safety of slaves.

However, the emperor's kindness, like any other policy, will eventually be exploited by the executors who run through all the links. As long as the key is bought out, it is easy for the three legal divisions to divide from "facts" to "deferred decision" during the trial. For the parties concerned, it is a matter of life, and for the second- and third-rank officials in the upper position, it is a detail that they will not notice at all.

Min Zhanlian is such a character who has been between "truth" and "reprieve every time" for ten years. Only in this way can the prison guards who take care of him, the scribes in the torture room, and even the magistrates in the judicial department get a sum of money every year.

Min Zhanlian's own family background is not rich, and he can't withstand the knocking of bones and marrow by layers of filthy officials. However, his fame was not due to his murder, but to his skill in his work, and he took many disciples in his home.

There is a way to be poor and rich in martial arts, those disciples spent a lot of money to learn the art, although there are those who really like this skill, but there are also many who have built a bigger family through this skill.

These people have the name of master and apprentice with Min Zhanlian, and they have the righteousness of father and son, even if they can't get the master out, they will not spare the money they pay for their lives every year. Coupled with the efforts of all parties, Min Zhanlian's life in prison was very nourishing, and he even accepted two prison guards as disciples, and he served good wine and food every day, which was even more comfortable than outside.

Tanning took the guards of the East Palace and entered the Shuntianfu prison, and saw that the cell was clean and tidy, full of sunshine, except for the cage with thick wrists, there was no oppressive atmosphere at all. He looked at the murderous young hand who had been famous for a long time, and saw that he had a gentle complexion, about fifty years old, his whole body was refreshing, his skeletal muscles were loose and soft, but his gestures brought out great power.

"Prisoner Min Zhanlian, I don't know what the official is doing here?" Min Zhanlian clasped his fists and saluted, his voice low and steady.

Tanning stared at Min Zhanlian's white and tender hands, and couldn't help asking, "You are Min Zhanlian?" ”

"It's the prisoner." Min Zhanlian is like being in his own home, full of contentment.

"Want to get out?" When Tannin asked this, he was also a little unconfident.

"Huh." Min Zhanlian smiled slightly, his body suddenly tensed, and he twisted it hard, only to hear a crisp sound in the air. He smiled again: "Kung Fu is useless, it's better to be stable here." ”

Tannin was dumbfounded.

This kind of strength to break through the air turned out to be a waste of kung fu!

"I heard that you are a disciple of Wang Zongyue?" Tannins asked again.

He had made preparations before he came, but some people said that Min Zhanlian was Wang Zongyue's personal disciple, and some said that he was a second disciple. In short, his Mianquan Kung Fu must have something to do with the great master of Inner Boxing during the Wanli period.

"Hey, hey." Min Zhanlian turned sideways, stretched out his hand to raise his arm, and put it down again, seeing that the action was like a ball of air. In Tannin's eyes, it was as if he could see the air condensed like porridge, being played with by the old man in the palm of his hand.

Min Zhanlian obviously used this means to show his mentorship, and the layman only saw it like a cloud.

The tannins can see some doorways slightly, but they can't say why, and they don't feel a little impetuous. He got straight to the point and said: "I am a guard of the East Palace, and now the prince is hiring a head teacher." Mr. Min is famous, and the prince is willing to invite him. ”

"Teach what?" Min Zhanlian didn't take a pretentious and asked bluntly.

"Kill." Tannin said dryly.

"This is exactly the skill of the ancient generals to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions!" Min Zhanlian daxiao said: "It's just that I have several lives on my back now, I'm afraid it's inconvenient to go out." ”

Tanning didn't expect Min Zhanlian to agree so boldly, but he figured it out when he settled down. If Min Zhanlian didn't know each other, he would never have survived this year. Since there is a chance to save your life and fight for your background, why not?

"Someone will release you later." Tannin put down the sentence and turned to leave. The function of the East Palace Order he brought to Shuntian Mansion has not yet been tested, but it will not be unfamiliar to think of that Mansion Yin.

As soon as Tannin came out of the prison door, a thin figure flashed in the shadows, approached Min Zhanlian's cell, and whispered, "Master, are you going to take the opportunity to escape?" ”

"Run?" Min Zhanlian said with a smile: "The whole world is not the king's land, can you escape from the sky?" ”

"Master, you don't know, there's already a lot of chaos outside!" The thin disciple said: "There is King Li Chuang in the west, who has killed several vassal kings, saying that he wants to come to Beijing to live the addiction of being an emperor." The Jiannu in the east are also becoming more and more fierce, and they have looted to Shandong last year alone! The people in the city said, "One day is one day, and the thieves will open the city when they arrive at the door!" ”

Seeing that the master was silent, the little apprentice said again: "This is no longer something that is said in private, many people say so on the scene!" ”

"Isn't that the time for my generation to make meritorious contributions?" Min Zhanlian's eyes were bright, and he said, "I told you, your master has two stunts, don't you remember?" ”

"Remember, remember, remember." The disciple hurriedly said, "It's the Yin Fu Gun, Tai Chi." ”

"Do you think that marksmanship is here to help you practice boxing?" Min Zhanlian's color tensed: "It's the opposite!" ”

"Is it the other way around?" The disciple was shocked: "Isn't it just to listen to the big gun pile?" ”
