Chapter 461: Criminals Can Be Killed
Dai Wang was followed by two jailers and escorted him to the prison of Fa Cao, the capital of Liangzhou. Because the burn scar on his face looked hideous, and there were rumors that he had shot six arrows from Changsong County and killed the landlord and his wife in the dung pit, the two jailers had a respectful attitude towards him.
Li Siye walked behind the jailers, and he had already stuffed money into everyone in the Liangzhou Mansion Facao Prison in advance, so that although Dai Wang would not enjoy super high treatment, he could at least be fed without being disturbed by others.
"Dai Zhuangshi, please come in, I have wronged you for the time being."
The two jailers locked the cell door with iron chains, crossed hands towards Li Siye and left.
Li Siye spoke through the wooden fence: "You can endure it for a few days for the time being, and then you can get real freedom." ”
Dai Wang'an sat on the straw bunk, turned his head and said: "I have never tasted prison in my life, this place is very quiet, just enough to calm down and think about the past and future days."
"Okay, then you want to."
When he came out of the Liangzhou Mansion Prison, Yan Xiaosi, a personal soldier, hurriedly led his horse to find him, rushed to the front and whispered: "General Li, Zhongcheng asked me to call you." ”
Li Siye frowned, could it be that something happened? The dignified Hexi Jiedu made him particularly cautious in a case.
"Well, I'll be right over."
Jiedu makes the mansion and the Liangzhou Mansion sit side by side, which is convenient for the transmission of official documents. When he entered the gate of the mansion, he saw a chaotic scene, a bunch of local officials stood outside the door to ask for a meeting, and the relatives and friends of Fu Meng Zhongcheng also came to congratulate, crowded behind the wall of the courtyard gate to wait in line, each carrying a local product in his hand, arguing with each other about who was closer to Zhongcheng's family along the way. I forgot to mention that Fumeng himself is a Qiang person, although he was born in Feng Yi in Tongzhou, but there are many people with the same clan all over Hexi, and when he learned that the family was a big man, he naturally wanted to come up to his thighs.
Fumeng Lingcha is indeed a thigh at this time, although his foundation in the court is not as good as Wang Zhonghe, An Lushan and others, but with the step-by-step support of Li Linfu, there is already a preliminary atmosphere, and there are still not many people who can concurrently serve as the envoy of the two towns in the Kaiyuan Tianbao Dynasty.
The steward of the house was the servant he brought from Chang'an, and the promotion of the master made the identity of the servant with the same surname rise, and the army called him the chief of Bo.
Chief Bo led Li Siye forward, walked through several porches to the main hall, and several children of the same surname who were waiting in the foyer saw that someone could actually enter the mansion without being informed, and couldn't help but become sour, and shouted loudly: "Ah Bo, what's the matter, we haven't been able to see Zhongcheng for half an hour, why are you swollen and let him cut in line?"
The chief manager turned around slightly with both hands on his lower abdomen, and a pair of triangular eyes hung down from the tips of his eyebrows, which looked extremely sharp, making the children in line shut their mouths in a sneer.
Chief Bo turned around and smiled apologetically at Li Siye: "General Li, let you see the smile, these are all relatives who can't be beaten by Ah Lang's eight poles, and when I heard that his old man was making a career, I didn't know where he came out of nowhere."
"It doesn't matter." Li Siye thought to himself, if he was in a high position in the future, would there be a bunch of relatives from Gaoling's hometown who would come over with him.
When the two came to the hall, the chief manager of the Bo branch retreated, and Li Siye saluted to Fu Meng Lingcha, who was sitting on the Hu bed, only to notice that there were still two people sitting cross-legged in the hall.
Fu Meng Lingcha's demeanor became more and more official, he raised his head and raised his eyelids, raised his hand from the Hu bed and pointed to the two people sitting on the bed to introduce him: "This is Zhang Shunhe, the commander of the Liangzhou Mansion, who temporarily handles the affairs of Liangzhou, and this is Zhao Ru, the state law Cao and Zhao Ru, who joined the army, and is mainly responsible for trying the murder case of Dai Wang."
The two got up from the ground and saluted Li Siye, Shangzhou did not drive from the four grades, and the official was slightly inferior to Li Siye, and there was no obvious civil and military boundary in the Tang Dynasty, and a certain magistrate holding a scroll he saw might still be bending a bow and shooting a knife on the battlefield yesterday. A martial artist like Li Siye is also likely to enter the court. Therefore, if this don't drive the first salute, Li Siye can return the salute, this is the rule of officialdom, and there can be no deviation by half a point.
Zhang Beijia pointed to Zhao Ru, who joined the army, and said to Li Siye: "Regarding the case, you can directly ask Zhao to join the army."
Zhao Senjun is relatively short, his shoulders are drooping and he looks very low, but the corners of his eyes always glance up at Li Siye, which makes people think that he is very vigilant.
Li Siye got straight to the point and said: "I don't know much about the trial, so I just asked Zhao Senjun one sentence, Dai Wang revenge and murder, can he avoid the death penalty."
Zhao Senjun raised the corners of his mouth and crossed his hands, and spoke slowly but powerfully: "General Li, Dai Wang's repatriation from the army and his killing of the county order is to kill officials with the people, and he has committed the injustice of ten heinous crimes, which is absolutely unforgivable."
These words sounded very cold, and every word seemed to be a rigid provision, or the words that had been thought of for a long time to deal with the prevarication of Li Siye, to block any possibility he raised. And the other party still shrunk his shoulders respectfully, like a little wolf dog that suddenly pounced out and took a bite, and then cowered into the little wolf dog under the protection of his master.
Li Siye turned his head to look at Fu Meng Lingcha, but Fu Meng Lingcha spread his hands and pursed his lips, indicating that he was involved in a serious crime, and he could not openly show favoritism.
He wanted to ask him loudly, Lao Tzu has helped you so much, I just want to pardon one person, why is it so difficult.
But that can't be said, and he can't save face on the leader on such an occasion.
He twisted his beard and wandered in contemplation, wondering in his heart whether the county order that bought the official mantle and brutalized the people was also a county order? When there was no way to solve the problem, he suddenly grasped a thought in his mind, and suddenly turned around and said, "Can't the two cases be tried separately?"
Zhao Senjun grinned and replied with a smile: "Where did the two cases come from, this is clearly one case."
"Why aren't they two cases? Zhang Yu and his wife colluded with Changsong County to kill Dai Ada's family of five, which is a case. Dai Wang's revenge for his brother killed Zhang Yu and his wife and the Changsong County Order, which is another case. The case of Dai A's destruction of the door was first tried and concluded, and then the case of Dai Wang's revenge was tried. ”
Zhao Ru stopped smiling, frowned and asked in surprise: "Even if it is two cases, they are not the same result, what is the difference?"
"Of course there is a difference." Li Siye crossed his fingers and asked, "The Zhang family and his wife colluded with the Changsong County Order to kill the people, if the evidence is confirmed, how should they be sentenced?"
Zhao Ru replied: "Of course, it is the murderer who pays for his life, and the exterminator is especially worse. However, even if he kills to pay for his life, Dai Wang is not qualified to go to vendetta, and he should be sentenced by my Liangzhou Fa Cao, and reported to the Beijing Division Criminal Department for review and beheading. ”
"What about the Changsong County Order?"
"Of course, it is to take away the official body, take away the fame and degrade to a concubine, and then sentence him to beheading or exile according to Tang law."
Li Siye spread his hands and said, "Isn't this the end?" Since in the Dai Ah Da Destruction Case, the Changsong County Order colluded with Zhang Yu and his wife to kill his beloved, so he naturally wanted to take away his official status and be demoted to a concubine. Dai Wang killed him to take revenge, which is not a murder of an official of the imperial court, but an ordinary revenge murder, and it is not a heinous crime. ”
Zhao Shenjun's narrowed eyes instantly widened, and he grinned to show that what Li Siye said was ridiculous, but he opened his mouth wide and yawned, shook his head again and again, and said: "You are not right, the Changsong county commander was still in the county magistrate when he was killed, and his blatant killing of the county magistrate was an unjust crime, how can it be pardoned?"
"Zhao joins the army," Li Siye asked in a solemn voice, "Can anyone do the county order of the Tang Dynasty?" Before this person was appointed as the county commander, he was only a prodigal son who could not pass the three examinations, because he had a great relationship with Zhang Yu, Zhang Yu and his wife spent a lot of money to buy officials from Chang'an, so that they sat on the position of Changsong County Commander, and when he made a trick of bullying men and women and killing the people in office, he had already selected himself from the ranks of Tang officials. ”
"That's not good, he has an official seal, and he is an official of the imperial court."
"Is there an official seal that is an official of the imperial court? Don't care where this official seal came from? Bought and robbed? Could it be that even if that official robe is worn by a bandit full of evil, he can kill the people in a righteous manner, and the people take revenge and kill him even become a great injustice in killing officials?"
Under a series of interrogations by Li Siye, Zhao Senjun was poor in reasoning and his face turned pale. I really can't imagine how this seven-foot man can have such a good mouth? Isn't it said that the mind is simple, and the limbs are developed?
