"It's a bandit, it's a bandit. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

A slightly hoarse voice rang out.

In the silence, it was particularly harsh, and several earth dogs were awakened in an instant, and kept barking in the direction of the east of the city. Under the influence of these earth dogs, the domestic dogs in the entire city barked one after another.

The night seems to be bright and not bright, and there is a little darkness, close to the east of the city, the people who are sleeping are suddenly awakened, a dim oil lamp dispels the darkness, and there are slowly human voices in the silence, as if it is an ink painting, which comes to life in an instant.

Hearing that there were bandits in the city, most people subconsciously hid in the quilt and shivered, or used solid objects such as door bolts to resist the door, for fear of suffering from the pond fish.

Why?

Because the purpose of the bandits entering the city was to make money, food, and grass, they would mostly attack the big families or wealthy families in the city, while the common people were rarely looted.

So as long as you close the portal and don't make too much noise, you will generally not be harmed.

Some people even knelt down in front of their gods, and kept kowtowing and praying, hoping that the gods could protect them. If in this world, everyone will definitely scoff at this kind of temporary cramming.

But in the great dry of Shinto manifestations, this kind of thing is perfectly normal.

Believers provide faith and piety to the gods, and the gods have an obligation to protect the believers from being disturbed. A glimmer of divine light visible to the naked eye flew up from the idol and landed on the portal of the believer, turning into a distorted and strange symbol.

The believer looked at the portal and received the blessing of the gods, and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and respectfully thanked the gods for his grace, and then went back to sleep.

There are many people who sweep the snow in front of their doors like this and don't care about the frost on others.

But there were exceptions, a few men with strong bodies and bulging muscles all over their bodies, like little leopards, did not care about being wet by the cold outside the nest, put on trousers, carried a whistle stick bare-chested, and rushed out in three steps and two steps.

Although the others reacted a little slower, but after a while, there were dozens of strong men on the street, cooperating with the soldiers at the head of the city, and the patrol on the street was also a big force.

The whole of Zhibei County was awakened from their sleep, and the able-bodied men walked out into the streets without checking their clothes, their clothes on their shoulders, and holding sticks, while women and children and other old and weak people were repeatedly told to close the doors and hide in hidden and safe places. But there are still many people who can't resist their curiosity and secretly look at every move outside through the cracks in the windows of their homes.

"Bandits, where are the bandits. ”

Dozens of strong men with sticks gathered together, relied on each other, and instantly became a lot more courageous, grabbed the person who shouted loudly, and asked anxiously.

"This is the county seat, and there are soldiers to protect it, how can it be a bandit. If you talk nonsense, don't blame me for sending you to the government. ”

"That is, if you dare to talk nonsense, you will definitely be beaten by the board. ”

"In the prosperous era, where are there any bandits. I think you're spreading rumors. ”

It's no wonder that everyone is nervous, banditry is a serious crime, and Daqian hates it even more.

On the basis of the criminal laws of previous dynasties, heavier punishments were increased. It has the characteristics of "light on Qin law, heavy on Qin law", and the sentence for the crime of banditry is heavier than that of Qin law. Those who fail to grab money will also be punished by exile, and those who have robbed money will be punished by beheading.

Some people may say that this is not reasonable. The robbers are certainly hateful, but the legal sentences of the great cadres are too severe, and they are harsh punishments and undesirable.

In fact, not only the great cadres, but also the ancient times, the robbers were also severely punished.

In ancient times, the crime of robbery was called "robbery", which was recognized as the most serious crime against property, and was severely cracked down on in all dynasties.

At that time, although there was no charge of "robbery", but the punishment was inevitable, "Qin Jian: Legal Questions and Answers" contained: "The group of thieves is pardoned as a concubine, and the crime of robbery and imprisonment is above the crime, and death, and the crime is considered to be the crime, and the left toe is cut off for the city." "Cutting off the left foot, tattooing and painting on the face, and serving hard labor in the construction of the city were the methods used by the Qin Dynasty to punish robbers.

Tang Dynasty: Whoever robs is guilty of the same crime, and he will be imprisoned if he does not succeed

In the previous law, slaves and maidservants were treated as property, not as human beings. In the Tang Dynasty, even if a robber robbed a slave who was regarded as property, the slave had the same "identity" as a beloved, and the punishment for a robber was the same as that for robbing and killing or injuring a beloved.

After the Tang Dynasty, the sentencing was increased, and the amount of property stolen was no longer used as the standard for sentencing, as long as the crime of robbery was committed, the punishment would be very serious, and many were sentenced to death.

On the basis of the Tang Law, the Song Dynasty also promulgated a series of special criminal regulations that severely punished the crime of robbers, such as the "Harboring Heavy Law", "Heavy Law", "Heavy Law for Thieves", etc. The Song Dynasty not only imposed heavy penalties on robbers, but also for those who harbored robbers, the punishment was not light, and the heavier ones could be beheaded, and other members of the family would also be punished accordingly, such as being sent to remote areas. Those who commit the crime of robbers will be punished even more severely, they will be beheaded, their family property will be confiscated, and their wives and children will be sent thousands or 500 miles away from the state army. By the time of Emperor Zhezong of the Song Dynasty, most of the Song Dynasty had become a place of heavy law. During the Yuan Dynasty, the punishment for robbers was not light, and there was a provision that no torture should be inflicted except on robbers. It can be seen from this that the crime of robbery is still the most serious, and the punishment will certainly not be low.

It can be said that robbers are the most hated by the government and the common people.

There was such a big movement, the soldiers near the city gate naturally would not be unable to hear it, five people in a team, ten people in a team, whether they were patrolling or standing guard at the city gate, were all urgently assembled in an instant, under the leadership of the chief and the chief of the army and other low-level officers, the orderly blockade of the city gate, occupy the city head, the favorable terrain of the dark fort.

He even sent someone to hurry up and truthfully report the situation here to the lords of the Yamen of the Inspection Department and ask them to make a decision.

"It's really a bandit, you can't send me to the official mansion, Situ's house in the east of the city was attacked by bandits, and the dead bodies were piled up in ox carts. ”

When the man heard that he was going to be sent to the yamen, there was a look of horror in his eyes, and he hurriedly said loudly.

"What!"

"The Situ family in the east of the city, but the old man Situ who wrote the Mingzhou poem "The Burrow"?"

Everyone's faces changed instantly, their eyes were in a daze, and they asked in disbelief.

"How good is this, that's because we know that Beixian can't produce a genius in a hundred years. ”

"Sad, it's really jealous of talents, jealous of talents!"

"God, kill me!"

A few villagers who had studied for a few days, could read and write and hyphenation, and usually regarded themselves as literati heard that Situ Mansion had been bandited, and their faces turned pale in an instant, their expressions were sad, and they beat their chests and cried bitterly.

Although the others did not react so much, they also had sad faces on their faces.

After all, Situ wrote Mingzhou poems in the year of the weak crown, which is the pride of Zhibei County.

"It's the same one, I just came back from there, and I'm bleeding all over the place, and I'm so scared that I'm peeing my pants, and I'm still wet. ”

I was afraid that everyone wouldn't believe him, so I could only expose my shortcomings, thinking of the scene I was watching at the time, and said with a frightened face.

Everyone subconsciously glanced at his crotch, looked at the traces of dampness, and instantly took a step back with strange expressions.

Seeing everyone's disgusted and strange expressions, the man's face couldn't help but redden, revealing a look of shame.
