Chapter 454: Daming Fenghua 15
"Yes!" The master next to him said.
"This little brother, what do you think, how is Lord Zhang's eucalyptus sentence?" A common person next to him asked Qin Yu.
"Relatively smart." Qin Yu said. Lu Daxin and Lu Da, who came with him, had two authentic peasants, who were very emotional, just like the other people.
I was full of emotion in my heart: "New Da Ming Law" is really fair and just.
It is a kind of luck to be in the Ming Dynasty where the legal system is so fair.
Brilliant? The people who asked Qin Yu were a little incomprehensible.
"It means that the judgment is good." Qin Yu said.
"Oh, oh!" The people nodded.
"Continue to the next eucalyptus!" Zhang Yulin said.
How many eucalyptus is he going to deal with? Qin Yu was depressed, and couldn't help but think of the allusions in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Liu Bei sent Zhang Fei to inspect, the hundred-mile small county under the jurisdiction of Pang Tong,
After Zhang Fei arrived, Pang Tong processed all the eucalyptus in half a day.
I guess it's also, let's deal with it for whom.
"Take someone to commit it!"
Soon, several women, as well as a few prisoners who were dressed in tatters and looked like they were running away, were brought into the lobby.
The crowd was all wounded, as if they had been tortured.
The master directly stated the situation: "The criminal women Yan, Tang, and Jiang collaborated to sell several children to jugglers on the rivers and lakes. Those who run the rivers and lakes poison the children into mutes, and then let them dress up as monkeys and make money by performing on the rivers and lakes."
"Some broke their hands and feet to make it convenient for them to beg."
"This eucalyptus has been tried and the evidence is conclusive." Zhang Yulin said, "The Ming Law before the Ming Dynasty punished children very severely, let alone now. ”
"There is no need to report to the Criminal Department for approval, and the same crime is for buying and selling, and all of them will be executed at Ling Chi."
"Chop them for ten days, so that they may have enough time to repent of their sins."
"Good!"
"Your Excellency has a good judgment!"
When the crowd heard this, they applauded loudly.
It seems that everyone has a deep hatred for child traffickers.
"This brother, are you satisfied with Lord Zhang's punishment?" The spectator next to him asked Qin Yu again.
"But some people say that if the government imposes too harsh penalties on traffickers, it will lead to traffickers who harm children along the way." Before Qin Yu could answer, someone answered, "For example, when human traffickers are selling, they know that they will be executed by Ling Chi, and they will ignore the safety of their children." In order not to be exposed, they will also strangle children. ”
"And if the penalty is lighter, then the safety of the child can be guaranteed to a certain extent." The other is humane.
"Fuck off!" Before Qin Yu and others could answer, there was a humane all the way, "Is it okay to punish crimes too lightly and be the root cause of the frequent occurrence of crimes?" ”
"If you catch a trafficker, you will be executed, and there will be fewer and fewer such cases in the future."
"Unless they're not afraid of being cut by a thousand cuts."
"Master Zhang's judgment is the real protection of the child."
"Severe punishment is like an abyss, if you jump down, you will definitely die, and few people will jump. The lenient punishment is a low wall of one or two feet, and if it's okay to jump, someone will keep jumping. ”
"This brother is right." The words of passers-by immediately aroused the approval of the surrounding crowd, "After the severe punishment, there will be no human traffickers at all, and they will even be extinct, and the so-called lenient punishment is needed to protect the children?" ”
Alas!
Qin Yu sighed when he saw this!
In ancient times, there were very few cases of child trafficking, and the biggest reason was that the punishment was too severe.
From the Qin Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, this was the case for more than a thousand years.
More than 1,000 years of experience have proven that this method works.
When a group of criminals heard that they had been sentenced to Ling Chi, they all peed their pants in fright.
"In addition...... Zhang Yulin said to the onlookers, "if you encounter a human trafficker in the future, you can be killed directly, and you don't have to bear any criminal responsibility." This is one of the most basic powers bestowed by the emperor. ”
"He who has also given a holy decree."
"The emperor's original decree to the people of the southeast was that if the Japanese invaders came, prepare knives and kill them. In the face of child traffickers, it is to find any weapon you can find and kill them. ”
"The Emperor Shengming!"
When the crowd heard this, they all said.
As for whether Zhang Yulin's judgment is right or not, just look at the reaction of the people.
If Zhang Yulin is only sentenced to two or three years as a criminal, those people with children will be very worried. Because the cost of trafficking is so small, more criminals will follow this path of crime in the future.
But now that the traffickers and buyers have all been sentenced to death, they are immediately relieved. Because in this world, there are really not many criminals who are not afraid of Ling Chi being executed and slashed by a thousand knives.
If it is only sentenced to two or three years, few people will be afraid.
The sentence is too light, and the law has lost its most basic function of punishing evil.
"Old sister, we've been short of money lately, let's go sell a child?" In the village, one woman spoke to another. "Okay." The woman next to her immediately responded, "Anyway, if you catch it, you will only be sentenced to two or three years, and it's not a big deal." If you are caught, you don't lose, and if you don't get caught, you earn blood. "It's a case where a penalty is too light.
"Old sister, we've been short of money lately, let's go sell a child?" In the village, one woman said to another. "No, no." The woman next to her shook her head again and again after hearing this, "If you are caught, you will be cut by a thousand knives, and Ling Chi will be executed, I don't have the guts." Moreover, buying and selling is the same sin, and there are very few people who buy it. "That's what happens when the penalty is severe.
Dealing with criminals with too light sentences in an attempt to 'protect' the victim is undoubtedly a drink to quench thirst, and the key is that it cannot quench thirst.
"My lord, if the people are allowed to take up arms on their own, they can kill human traffickers by any means without bearing any criminal responsibility, is there any theory of 'Taoism' in this?" The master wasted no time in asking.
"Of course, this is also the 'Taoist Method'," Zhang Yulin said.
"All living beings in heaven and earth spare no effort to protect their children. This is the nature and instinct of thousands of living beings, and since it is the nature and instinct of all living beings, it belongs to the Heavenly Dao. ”
"The Ming Dynasty implemented the Dao Life Law, and everything must conform to the way of heaven."
"Conform to all the nature and instincts of living beings."
"Other creatures can protect their cubs without limits, and people certainly can."
"Those who don't allow parents to shoot criminals to death in order to protect their children are going against the sky."
"To put it mildly, even dogs that everyone has raised are extremely dangerous when they give birth. People who want to steal the chicks of the eagles will also be attacked by the eagles going crazy.
This is true of animals and beasts, let alone people? ”
"Good!" When the onlookers heard this, they applauded.
"The Dao Law pays attention to conforming to the way of heaven, and it is the best law between heaven and earth."
"The Tao is the most just when it upholds the nature and instinct of living beings."
