Volume 3: Tempered into Steel Chapter 20: Human Traffickers Don't Die a Good Death

Qian Yu exclaimed and followed: "You are the emperor?!!! ”

Zhu Qizhen looked at him with a smile and said, "What? Don't I look like an emperor? ”

Qian Yu suddenly knelt on the ground with a sudden realization, and also shouted: "Xiaomin knocks to see the emperor!" My Emperor ......"

But he was stopped by Zhu Qizhen, and Zhu Qizhen reassured: "Master Qian, please get up, it's because I didn't manage this family well that made you suffer so much." ”

Seeing that Zhu Qizhen didn't ask, Guo Mao hurriedly stepped forward, pulled Xiao Li's eyebrows and asked angrily, "What's the matter with you?" ”

Xiao Li was nervous and couldn't speak, but Lao Zhang Yu reported: "Commander, the thing is because a child was snatched by human traffickers in that street, and Li Jian appeared in a hurry to pursue him, but don't worry, before he got out of this street, the child was chased back, and Li Jian was definitely not found." ”

Zhu Qizhen, who sat down with Qian Yu again, heard Jinyiwei's experience, and was also very interested.

Guo Mao hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "Please ask the emperor to punish the ministers and the guilty of laxity." ”

"What are you doing here, am I so unreasonable?" Zhu Qizhen's face was displeased.

Several people hurriedly lowered their heads and shouted: "Don't dare, the emperor is holy." ”

Of course, Zhu Qizhen was not angry with Li Jian, in fact, population was the most important resource in the past, so since ancient China, human traffickers have been punished very severely, and from Qin to Qing Dynasty, almost all dynasties and human traffickers were sentenced to death.

The Ming Dynasty is slightly different in that it does not directly impose polarity on the traffickers, but stipulates that the traffickers and their families will be exiled forever and never return.

I don't know if it is because the death penalty was not directly imposed, there was also a crime called Caisheng Cutting in the Ming Dynasty, the so-called Caisheng Cutting is to make people crippled to beg and cheat money, and if Qian Shouhou is not redeemed, this is the end.

The punishment for such crimes in the Da Ming Law is the death penalty regardless of the principal and the accomplice, and the main offender must be executed at a later pace, and even the unsuspecting family members will be exiled, and all property will be compensated to the victim's family.

"It's still too light." Zhu Qizhen muttered to himself.

Then with a straight face, Xiao Li retold the story, and after listening to it, not only did he not get angry, but said appreciatively: "Okay! My Ming subjects need your quality of righteousness and courage, Guo Mao, you write down this matter, and return to Beijing to discuss the merits and rewards. ”

Guo Mao breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly took Li Jian to thank him, but he didn't seem to have grasped something in his heart, and he still frowned and thought about it.

A small turmoil made Qian Yu's impression of Zhu Qizhen three-dimensional, the high-ranking emperor suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, and unreal feelings always occupied his mind.

"Shang Chen, you help me remember, and after returning to Beijing, I will go to the road. Amend the laws of the Ming Dynasty on human trafficking and human trafficking.

Regardless of the circumstances and reasons, and the identity of the participants, all of them are guilty of the same crime and are punishable by death, and those who are accomplices to the family are also guilty of the same crime, and the family property is confiscated to compensate the victim's family. The penalty for harvesting and cutting is doubled. Although there was no fireworks in Zhu Qizhen's tone, it made several people tremble.

Qian Yu thought of his son, tears filled his eyes, and he knelt down again excitedly, crying: "The emperor is shengming! ”

Zhu Qizhen knew why Qian Yu was so excited, he wanted to persuade but didn't know how to speak, so he could only sigh and help him up.

And Qian Yu, who received such a courtesy from the emperor, was even more grateful, and his heart finally opened, telling how his family was forcibly bought and sold by King Yi, how he was beaten by King Yi, and how his wife hanged herself after being humiliated by King Yi.

"Since then, I don't have the heart to live a good life, and it's because of this uncompetitive son that I have survived until now. Who knows, but because of my negligence in discipline, Shouhou He actually became addicted to gambling and lost his legs in King Yi's gambling house. Alas......" Qian Yu said in the end, and he could only end with a long sigh.

After listening to this past, even Li Xian, who was good at hiding his emotions, couldn't help but ask angrily: "With such a horrific tragedy, don't the officials of Henan Mansion care?" ”

Qian Yu said numbly: "At that time, the government said that I was blackmailing the palace on the grounds that we had received money from the palace, not only did not accept my complaint, but even put me in prison, and in order to ransom me, all the family funds were emptied. ”

Li Xian raised his head high and couldn't help but clench his fists, and the rest of the people were already filled with righteous indignation.

Fan Zhong's fiery temper could no longer be suppressed, and regardless of whether King Yi was a royal person, he said fiercely: "This old brute! The emperor brought King Yi to justice, and he will definitely let me personally execute him. ”

Zhu Qizhen's face is naturally not good-looking, a good Yi king, raising bandits, squeezing the people, seeking money and killing people, occupying minerals, colluding with the government to block the people's feelings, he is really a good prince of the Ming Dynasty, and he spared no effort to change the dynasty.

"Can Mr. Qian still write a complaint?" Zhu Qizhen asked.

Qian Yu was stunned for a moment, and then nodded hurriedly: "The grass people can!" ”

"Well, I'll do it for you! This king of thieves must be brought to justice, and justice will be given to the people. Zhu Qizhen said coldly.

"Your Majesty." Everyone said in unison.

After eating the meal here, although he didn't move his chopsticks much, everyone was full, Guo Mao finally remembered the situation he had ignored just now, and hurriedly pulled Li Jian and asked, "You said that the person left the child not far away?" ”

Li Jian nodded blankly, and asked a little timidly: "Commander, is there any problem?" ”

Guo Mao's eyes narrowed and said, "That person is not a human trafficker at all. ”

"Huh? What do you mean? Li Jian asked in surprise.

Guo Mao said with certainty: "That person is the disappeared Luoyang Jinyi Wei Qianhu: Shi Jianbai!" ”

"But why didn't he come and ask for an explanation?" Li Jian spoke suspiciously.

Guo Mao did not answer this question, but asked Zhu Qizhen and said: "Your Majesty, this place is no longer safe, please move quickly." ”

A brocade guard Qianhu, after finding Guo Mao, not only did not take the initiative to ask for guilt, but hid his identity and fled, which means that he didn't want Zhu Qizhen to know that he had come, leaving enough time for the next action, as for what action, it should not be a welcome ceremony.

"They are really so bold that they can't even ......," Shang Chen couldn't believe it.

Zhu Qizhen patted Zhuangyuan's shoulder and said, "Go and pack your things, we will all be in danger at all times before dawn tomorrow." ”

After speaking, he didn't forget to explain: "Master Qian, protect yourself!" I'm waiting for you. ”

Qian Yu watched Zhu Qizhen and the others leave with tears in his eyes, and when Xiong Zongli was leaving, he gave him a prescription and instructed: "After the fever subsides, change this recipe to eat and recuperate for a month." ”

Yiluo River Bridge, Kaifeng in the direction of Luoyang, a brocade guard wearing a flying fish suit led an acquaintance to prepare to cross the bridge.

"Lord Fang, the horse is almost dead, if we don't let it rest, I'm afraid we will have to run to rescue the driver." A man pleaded beside the Flying Fish suit.

Jin Yiwei commanded the affairs, and Henan commander Fang Da glanced at this subordinate expressionlessly, and finally relented and said: "Repair for half an hour, be sure to rush to Luoyang before the unitary time." ”

He looked at the west worriedly, as if to say: Your Majesty, you must wait for the ministers!
