434 [On Death]

Before the public trial, "The White-Haired Girl" must be staged first.

The drama version, only in the case of insufficient manpower, allows missionaries to quickly learn the play.

If there are enough people, it is a big opera, that is, the opera version of "The White-Haired Girl".

In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, Yuan miscellaneous opera was popular throughout the country and was commonly known as Beiqu.

In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, Nanqu counterattacked, and the Yiyang cavity, Qingyang cavity, Huizhou cavity, Taiping cavity, and Kun cavity quickly became popular.

After the standard pronunciation reform of the Kun dialect, it was known as the "official dialect", and all the pronunciation was in the official dialect. The rest of the dramas quickly followed up, and they also used the official dialect to read the white, so the famous characters must be Mandarin masters.

By the end of the Ming Dynasty, Nanqu ruled the whole country and was divided into southern accents and northern accents.

The northern tone is dominated by the chord cavity and the bangzi cavity. Among them, the daughter cavity, the girl cavity, and the Luo Luo cavity in Shandong and Henan provinces belong to the chord cavity. The Qin cavity has also developed and grown, and is classified as a vein of the Bangzi cavity.

The southern accent is dominated by Kun dialect and high cavity. Among them, the high cavity is a mixture of many southern cavities such as Yiyang cavity and Qingyang cavity.

The south-to-north dialect was thus formed, and it was the ancestor of hundreds of local operas in China in later generations.

Shandong doesn't need too many performances, because the landlords and gentry can't get by. There is too much land without permission, and after the people get the land, even if the landlord has land at home, how many peasants are willing to share the land?

To tell the truth, there are 10,000 acres of fertile land in Shandong, and it can only be barren in the next year or two.

The Kong family is an outlier!

Aliens naturally have to be taken care of, and the missionaries who are sent to Qufu can all sing big operas.

At this time, they sang in a high tone, and the people of Shandong could also understand it.

A "White-Haired Girl" has not yet been performed, and the people watching the play are already boiling. There are many kinds of happiness, sadness is always the same, and the experience of the white-haired girl can also cause the fame of the people of Qufu, and the master Kong here is countless Huang Shiren.

Some wept and wailed, others scolded angrily.

"Take the evil slave Kong Lin!"

The public trial conference has long had a routine.

To deal with local clans, the gentry cannot be directly judged. Because some of the gentry were well disguised, and even had a good reputation, all evil things were done by domestic slaves.

The evil slaves must first be put on trial, and then the evil slaves bite out of the gentry.

In the end, it will inevitably become a dog-eat-dog situation, and the gentry and evil slaves will blame each other, and the anger of the people will be completely ignited.

The house slave named Kong Lin was dragged to the high platform of the public trial, and his legs were weak and he knelt down.

The missionary held an iron horn and pointed at this person and said, "Kong Lin's original surname is Du, and he was originally a pouter in Dongchang Mansion. A few years ago, the White Lotus Sect captured Qufu, and most of the people of the Kong clan fled. This Kong Lin took refuge with Kong Yinmao in Dongchang, the White Lotus Sect perished, and Kong Lin returned to Qufu with Kong Yinmao...... Please come to the stage to complain about your grievances! ”

A young man was brought up and immediately knelt down for the missionary: "The grass man Kong Zhenxiang visited the official master, and asked the official master to be the master of the grass people!" ”

The missionary said: "Get up quickly, Your Majesty has an order, and the people are not allowed to kneel!" ”

Kong Zhenxiang stood up, pointed at Kong Lin and said, "That's it!" The grass people were also the landlords of Qufu, and the White Lotus bandits came, and the grass people's father and brother all suffered accidents. Before her mother fled Qufu with the grass people, she buried a thousand taels of silver in the courtyard. When the grass people returned home to get it, they were targeted by this guy. I don't know where to get an IOU, and I borrowed his money from him in Dongchang. God is pitiful, when the grass people fled, they only went to Dong'e, and they didn't go to Dongchang at all, and they didn't see this person, how could they borrow his money? ”

The missionary asked, "What happened?" ”

Kong Zhenxiang said: "At that time, the grass people were only fifteen years old, so they quarreled with him and beat him with sticks. This guy pretended to have his leg broken, and conspired with Kong Xinglu to send the lawsuit to the clan. The clan was biased and biased, sentenced me to return the debt, and asked me to pay ten taels of medicine money. The grass people's mother was unwilling to be wronged, and committed suicide by hanging the beam to prove her innocence, but she was beaten by this guy, saying that the grass people's mother committed suicide in fear of sin! ”

The missionary asked, "Give him the money?" ”

Kong Zhenxiang's eyes were already red when he said: "This guy gathered more than ten people and robbed the silver at night." The grass people went to the clan to report to the official, but the clan urged me to return the debt quickly. The fields in the grass people's homes are all the fields that rely on the canals, and they are all used to pay off debts, and they all fall into the hands of Kong Yinmao and Kong Xinglu's father and son! ”

Why is it that after the military disaster and famine, there are already fewer people and more land in Shandong, and there are still people who are plotting to seize the land?

Because of the severe drought, the land far away from the water source has been abandoned by the landlords. The powerful and powerful took advantage of the bullying and set their sights on the fields that could be irrigated!

The house slave named Kong Lin was nothing more than a dog that acted on orders.

"Wronged!"

Kong Lin cried out: "This official master, the grass people are a foreigner, where can they bully the landlords of this county? It was all instructed by the master, and the grass people only got ten taels of silver for the soup and medicine, and the reward afterwards was only two taels of silver. ”

"With Kong Yinmao, Kong Xinglu father and son!"

An old man and a middle-aged man were dragged to the public trial table.

The missionary asked, "Is what Kong Zhenxiang and Kong Lin said true?" ”

There are too many people who know about this matter, and the house slaves have confessed, so their father and son can't deny it at all.

Kong Xinglu hurriedly said: "This master, my father and I have also been wronged." My family only got 20% of the usetian that was invaded, and the rest was taken away by the clan. ”

The missionary shouted: "Take the Kong clan to raise Kong Yinzhen." ”

Another old man was dragged up.

The missionary asked, "You have occupied seventy percent of the Ueda in Kong Zhenxiang's house?" ”

Kong Yinzhen sighed and said: "This matter was quite a big trouble at the time, and the old man did take seventy percent, but it was later divided by the second son of the patriarch's family. ”

One string at a time, one question is a big string.

The case of encroachment on Ueda alone involved more than a dozen people. The same clan and clan, they are really good at it, nothing more than bullying Kong Zhenxiang's father and brother to death, only a fifteen-year-old boy in the family, an unmarried girl, and a widow who has a dead husband.

The missionary pointed at the more than a dozen people, picked up the tin horn and shouted: "Who else has been bullied by these people?" Come up to those who have been wronged! ”

"Me!"

"And me!"

“……”

Dozens of people came forward one after another, and were arranged by the missionaries to take the stage one by one.

Some cases are well known.

There are some cases, but there are other hidden secrets.

Moreover, a case is bound to involve a lot, and the number of people on trial on the stage quickly becomes dozens.

Anyway, as the evil things were revealed one by one, the people in the audience were already excited, and began to pick up dirt and stones and throw them at those bastards.

"Execution!"

It was the judicial system of Qufu County that presided over the execution, and the content of the public trial was recorded throughout the process.

More than twenty people, lined up, hanged with ropes on the spot.

These are all involved in serious cases, such as murder, rape, and so on.

More than 40 people were sentenced to hard labor and had to serve the government for five years without compensation. During the period of service, they are not allowed to settle down, they are not allowed to divide the land, and all property is confiscated. The three generations of children and grandchildren are not allowed to be officials, and they are not allowed to have a monopoly business license. If you dare to commit a crime during your service, you will be exiled to the island of Taiwan immediately.

"Well killed!"

"Lord Qingtian!"

As the most heinous sinners fell down one by one, the people also knelt down to thank them.

"Dad, what's wrong with you, Dad?"

Before Kong Yinzhi's father and son were tried, this Yan Shenggong fainted in fright.

"With Kong Heung-sub!"

Kong Xingxie, who was pinching his father, also fainted when he heard this.

I'm really dizzy, scared.

Because what he did, according to the kind of judgment just now, would definitely be a dead end.

"Dada-da-da!"

As soon as he rode a fast horse, he shouted along the way: "Your Majesty's hand, Your Majesty's hand!" ”

Mao Qiling, who was watching the public trial, changed his face slightly when he heard this, could it be that the emperor wanted to let the Kong family go?

After Mao Qiling received the edict, he read it carefully, and then laughed: "Haha, the true saint is also the king!" ”

Mao Qiling handed over the emperor's edict to the judicial officials.

Judicial officials immediately re-sentenced the more than 40 people who had just been sentenced to hard labour, 16 of whom were commuted to death – and those who knew and connived at capital crimes would be killed.

This is the emperor, who is above the rule of law and decides the fate of all beings with a single word.

Even if the constitution is formulated in the future, and the emperor is really annoyed, the emperor can forcibly violate the constitution. Zhao Han's constitution can only bind his descendants, and it is impossible to prohibit his descendants from doing anything.

With Zhao Han's edict, Kong Yinzhi is dead, otherwise it would be really difficult to sentence him to death.

Qufu Kong clan, a Yan Shenggong, a patriarch, a clan, forty clan elders. and their children and grandchildren and domestic slaves, who were put to death by public trial and executed by more than 100 people!

Kong Yinzhi and Kong Xingxie, father and son, were woken up by cold water, and after waking up, they were dragged and hanged.

Kong Yinzhi cried and said: "Don't kill me, don't kill me, I am a saint descendant of Confucius, I want to go to Nanjing to meet Your Majesty...... Woo woo, don't kill me, please, don't kill me! I haven't killed anyone, I've opened a warehouse and released grain, and they did all the bad things...... Well...... Save...... Help ......"

Yan Yingyuan looked at the corpses all over the ground, and couldn't help but ask Mao Qiling: "County Zun, how will you face the world's scholars in the future after killing so many people from the Qufu Kong clan?" The reputation of the king may not be tolerated by Confucianism. ”

Mao Qiling smiled: "Which forest is Rulin?" I am Mao, thirteen-year-old Xiucai, and I am the first in Hangzhou. Confucian classics, not to say that they are all proficient, but they have also been read roughly. When I read the Confucian scriptures, I only saw the word benevolence and righteousness. I came to Qufu, but I couldn't see benevolence and righteousness, this is a place where dirt is hidden! For the sake of Confucius, I will also kill these people! As for what those rotten people say, me and someone. The last time I made a statement that angered His Majesty, His Majesty still let me be an official, and I knew what to do. Monarchs and ministers are suitable, and there are ministers who have kings! ”

"The county lord has seen Your Majesty? What kind of person is Your Majesty? Yan Yingyuan said curiously.

Mao Qiling laughed and said, "Renjun also." It is not a merciful kindness, but a man of the people. As an official in this Datong court, you should know that you are people-oriented. If you govern the people happily, the emperor will be happy, do you know what I mean? ”

Yan Yingyuan nodded: "Understood." ”

Mao Qiling said: "I am the county magistrate, you are the county magistrate, if you want to govern Qufu well, we have to work together." Remember, remember, everything is people-oriented. ”

The two of them killed Yan Shenggong and killed more than 100 members of the Confucian family, no matter what the purpose, they will inevitably become famous all over the world.

It's just that it's hard to say what kind of reputation it is.
