Chapter 92: Punishment and Crime

Originally, I wanted to use more modern titles such as city, county, mayor and county magistrate, but now it feels so discordant, fortunately, the county magistrate and the city have only mentioned it once before, and I've changed it, or use the prefect of the county and the county, and the like, and there was a chapter before that accidentally made Shang Shu a minister, and it was changed, sorry, sorry, I didn't think it through. (。 īšã€‚ *)——

"Look, my lord."

Le Juhui handed over the information in his hand.

Yan Ling stared at the entire information, then waved his hand, and Le Ju bowed, then hurriedly retreated, disappearing into the shadows like a ghost.

And he brought the information and went to Yan Quan with the cabinet members.

The information started with Yan Quan and circulated it to everyone.

It was a list of officials in the military government of Jiangsu and Zhejiang who had committed illegal acts, and their crimes were described in great detail.

Yan Quan's face was very ugly, and he couldn't help but say hatefully:

"The government has provided them with free education, and has made great efforts to train them and make them go to different places, with the intention of making them benevolent and governing."

"You did such a thing!"

Although Yan Hongliang's face was ugly, he somewhat expected this. This situation happened as early as when they had just occupied the towns and villages and established their political power, when Yan Yinghui was still in power, and these lawless officials were quickly found out by Yinlong, and then brought to justice, and Yinlong was known to the officials at that time.

Unexpectedly, it has appeared again now.

He said:

"The desires of man's heart are never satisfied. In the past, they only occupied a few towns and towns, and the reliable mayors of more than a dozen families appeared, but many corrupt officials appeared, and it was only by the deterrence of the Intelligence Department that they were silenced; Now sitting in the southeast, tens of thousands of officials, for power, wealth, and many things, will cause them to violate the law. ”

The faces of the crowd became even more ugly.

Yan Ling's face was as usual.

I've lived for three hundred years, and I've never seen anything.

He reached out and picked up the information.

"A four-pin prefect, just two months after taking office, accepted bribes of 5,000 taels of silver, sheltered landlords to increase rent, bullied tenants and a series of other behaviors."

"Someone reported it to the Supervision Office, but the director of the Inspection Center, who was supposed to supervise local officials, even accepted bribes to help cover up the matter......

The following is a long list, obviously, in the area under the jurisdiction of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang military governments, there is not only such a prefecture, a prefect.

The landlord's self-help? Want to be like termites, eroding and assimilating the bottom of this new regime as before?

He sneered and said:

"This wind can't last."

Yan Quan immediately continued:

"Immediately, the Intelligence Department will send someone to arrest and detain him, and hand him over to the court of the Criminal Department for punishment at a later date!"

Yan Ling stretched out his hand to stop him:

"The Intelligence Department is only responsible for picketing the world and investigating whether there is any, and the specific arrest and detention are the responsibility of the Criminal Department, which cannot be exceeded."

The Intelligence Department was accountable to the King of Yue alone, a means for the King to establish his authority, and the Intelligence Department was spread all over the world to deter his ministers from disobeying.

However, if you interfere with the administration of justice and abuse lynching, then it will be arbitrary.

This should be understood.

Yan Quan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but he already knew something about politics and other matters under Yan Ling's education, and he also understood it at this time, so he nodded and stopped talking. And on that side, Shangshu of the Criminal Department also gave up his orders.

â€Ļâ€Ļ

The officials of the Criminal Department quickly set off with the order to arrest, and after seeing the seal of King Yue on it, the local police did not hesitate to immediately dispatch the police and directly arrest this four-rank officer.

Officials who committed crimes in other localities were also quickly arrested, and under the strict control of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang military governments over their localities, even if some people received information from certain people, it was difficult for them to escape and they were arrested one by one.

In a short time, they were all arrested and sent to the base camp of Ningbo Prefecture.

The prefect was the first to be interrogated, and he was brought to the top of the lobby.

Under the jurisdiction of the Criminal Department, the first-level court, this is where he was tried. As the most authoritative and top-level court, its highest judge is a member of the Zheng Sanpin, a waiter of the same criminal department, who is responsible for major and important cases.

All the evidence was conclusive, and the prefect had no choice but to admit his guilt.

The judge then pronounced his sentence.

Shooting, raiding.

His sons and grandchildren are not allowed to be officials.

"What?"

When the prefect heard this, his legs were weak, and he sat down on the ground directly, his eyes lost.

Among his crimes, the rest is actually easy to say, but he helped the landlord to increase the rent and oppress the tenants, which is very serious.

You must know that the military governments of Jiangsu and Zhejiang attach great importance to the implementation of these decrees, and the reason why Yan Ling would rather use the new officials he has trained and have no practical experience than the experienced officials left over from the Ming Dynasty is a very important factor.

Now the other party has fallen to the side of the landlords and gentry, and if it is not severely punished, the consequences will be unimaginable.

He was immediately accused of deliberately undermining government policy.

Naturally, there is nothing to say about this crime.

Yan Ling also wants to use this to deter officials everywhere, and it is impossible to completely prohibit it, but before committing it, at least weigh the consequences.

If nothing else, once a crime is committed, the children and grandchildren will not be allowed to become officials, which is enough to make many people put their minds away.

You must know that the civil atmosphere is not so easy to reverse, although many people have emerged willing to participate in industry, commerce and science and other industries, but for many scholars, going to the government to become an official is still the first choice, after all, it has been like this for hundreds of years.

Children and grandchildren are not allowed to be officials, even if they are not for themselves, they have to consider for future generations, and they can stop a considerable number of people.

This greatly reduces the disruption of order.

After all, things are man-made, and the Ming Dynasty has a lot of policies, the original intention is good, but the result is that the officials below colluded with the landlords and gentry, which led to a change of taste.

For example, the gentry's preferential policy of exempting from forced labor was originally intended to give some benefits to officials at all levels, but in the end, after the last operation of the local government, the landlords and doctors simply did not pay the regular tax.

Yan Ling would never allow such a situation to happen in his own government.

Otherwise, even if he could think of a good strategy, it would be useless.

The prefect was dragged down.

Some of the officials in the back also blamed themselves, and the landlords were also punished.

Naturally, these will not be concealed, and only by making them public can they play a deterrent role and show the government's determination.
