Bite the Bullet
Chapter 55:Bite the Bullet
In the cheers of the people, Zhang Yan quietly retreated, and when he passed by the blind hair, he looked at him deeply, and immediately bowed his head, concealing the bitter color of his face.
In the small square, the excited voice of Lu Renqing echoed.
"Guests, today is the first day of the establishment of the trial bureau, since the court has set up, of course, it is necessary to hear the case."
The onlookers and the rich squire looked at the eyes in surprise, and I did not expect that today would be real, I don't know who was the first unlucky!
"The first case, Bailiang Town in the family of the two Lang case, below the plaintiff in the mother-in-law, the sister-in-law's family, the defendant Meng family four sons Meng Zhengyang, the housekeeper Mengjun."
With the voice of Lu Renqing, Meng's body trembled slightly, although he knew that Wang Kefan was going to take the Mon family, he still couldn't help but have some glancing.
Yu Sanlang accompanied Yu's mother-in-law to the mother-in-law, came to the humble public hall, saw that the opposite was Meng Zhengyang and Meng all two enemies, Yu mother-in-law immediately fell to their knees, crying to the hall, the children in her arms were also scared to cry, the orphans and widows were sympathetic.
In Sanlang, he sent the paper, Zheng chose to take it, read it aloud first, and explained it to the onlookers.
The case is very simple, right and wrong questions to know that when Meng Zhengyang and Meng were arrested by the court, they had already suffered, frightened and dared not deny it.Hearing that the Meng family, in order to seize a small shop, was willing to fabricate the crime of harming the family, causing the people to be excited, and they shouted and severely punished the bullies of the family.
"Mong Zhengyang's plotting for the property of others, instiding Meng Quan and others to kill in Jiro, has violated the laws of the Great Ming Law xx, xx Chapter XX, and should be severely punished!"Lu Renqing made a summary, and then turned to the chapter to open a ceremony: "However, this case involves the holy brother (Mong Zhengfa), is the chapter to observe the people around the force, how to deal with, but also ask the chapter to observe the show."
The face of the chapter was red.
Wang Kefan had already passed him, Zhang Yan was forced to promise to lose the car to keep the coach, let the family accept the punishment, but in front of so many people, Lu Renqing forced Zhang Yan to take his own confidant under the knife, it was simply a harsh slap in the face of him.
Under the fire, he could no longer resist and burst out.
“Mum, how do you heal your family?The unrighteous thief must be severely punished!Severely punished!...”
Roaring, hissing roar, Zhang pointed to the straight nose and scolded, venting his anger in his heart, although he was slapped hard, but he could only take softly and bowed his head, only to catch Mon's hair, and swallowed his teeth and blood.
Most of the people onlookers were compassionate and kind people, and they were deeply moved by him.This master is a good officer, look at him!
"Yes, the observation of the adults just said, the trial bureau to investigate the case from a serious time!"Wang Kefan took a step forward and interjected: "But there is a rule for everything, the trial bureau can not act at will, the judgment should be based on the Great Ming Law!"
There is a living head in it, the provisions of the "Great Ming Law" are very many, some of them overlap with each other, the same case, can use different terms to deal with, the result is very different, not familiar with the "Great Ming Law" of the annual title, simply can not figure out the inside of the curve around.
Zheng chose Master Zheng is a talent in this regard, at the behest of Wang Kefan, he has already carefully selected the corresponding terms, now to do, just in front of the people to put on the appearance.
He and Lu Renqing, Wang Sheng discussed it, and then publicly announced that Meng Zhengyang sceptre 30, the number of ten, imprisoned and imprisoned, and fined silver two hundred and two compensation to the mother-in-law's family, the direct murderer Mengquan, asked after three!
The people were excited, and I did not expect the first case to cut the brain shell, which was really exciting!
Meng Zhengyang was executed on the spot, and was beaten and wailed, but he was completely frightened and stupid, and he collapsed on the ground without shouting, and several soldiers of the Gongyi camp dragged him down.
But Meng Zhengfa took the first two steps and bowed deeply to his mother-in-law's family: "Sherdi committed such a great crime, he is ashamed, and is willing to double the compensation of the old lady, Ming Yu sent four hundred and two silver lines."
He said this sentence, regardless of the Meng Zhengyang who was still firing, bowed his head through the crowd and took care of himself.The people looked at him with a look of shame, and felt that it was no wonder that this matter was wrong, and let go of the road together.
"The second case, Long Maochang trafficking private salt case, below the defendant, Long Maochang treasurer Hu xx..." Lu Renqing's voice sounded again.
After Hu Daguan was brought up, his mouth kept saying, “Little man is wrong!”Long Maochang donates hundreds of silver coins to the county every year, and should not be wronged!Look, you know the little man, you can't see death or help!"
Chapter before some of the tidnight had just received his gift, listening to his words, his face was immediately changed, to make a look in Xu Bing, there was a soldier to a few times, with a bamboo paw, ooze a blood in the mouth of Hu Daguan, the voice of the speech became ambiguous.
Xu Bing's face showed an unbearable color, the Ming Dynasty Tianfu had to be handed over, most of the income in the county came from the merchant Jia Tei, the Hu Daguan was also the county's seat, and now the appearance is really sad.
But this is the Hu Daguan blames himself, he picked the "for the rich" brand, but also want to use the Zhang open forces to frame Wang Kefan, Wang Kefan has been unable to bear, once counterattacked, but it is an unstoppable means of breaking.I don't know where he came from the evidence, after the implementation of the Gongyi camp these days, each one is a nail on the board, even if the emperor came, can not be for the Long Maochang case.
With the evidence, the case was well decided, and Hu Daguan was extremely responsible for the imprisonment, the keel was displayed, Long Maochang was seized, and all the property was confiscated.
A group of tooth merchants Jia was cold, and he looked at the blood-filled Hu Daguan with fear, and then secretly looked at Wang Kefan, looked at the next chapter, lowered his head, and the atmosphere did not dare to come out.
Jingliang brought a new fruit book to them, so that each dental dealer Jia one by one, in a few days is the Lunar New Year, next year every month the fruit silver is marked clearly.
Fortunately, much less than the number of the first time, the dental dealer Jardo one hundred and two, less than thirty or fifty, are within the range, although there are still some meat pain, but in this mouth, who dare to say half no words.
"All the neighbors of the sages, the lake is not good, from next year, the big families in the townships will also donate a certain amount of fruit and silver, for the whole army training, to protect the people..." Wang Kefan finally began to the squire, the peasant army and the Qing army are about to enter the lake, the anti-Qing war will overwhelm everything, not afraid to offend these gentry.
Of course, Wang Kefan is not ready to turn his face with the whole Gentleman class, but to cooperate with most of them, using their strength and resources.
The black fish crowded in the crowd, always saw the end of the trial, turned to the Gongyi camp, at this time, his face has been no confused, the eyes are clear and firm.
Zhou Guodong and others have been following the hilarity, there is a problem for a long time, and Wang Kefan returned to the barracks, finally have the opportunity to ask: "Yuntai, the crime of the family can not be more than this, with the evidence we have, can uproot the Meng family, even the hair can not be separated."Are you still afraid and relent to the family?”
"Oh, after today's event, I've already offended the chapter, why should I be merciless."Wang Kefan laughed, “I am not afraid of Zhang Yan, but other rich people...”
If it is too hard on the Mongolian family, it will cause the vigilance and uneasiness of other gentry rich people, and even cause a strong backlash.Kill the housekeeper Mengquan, and Yu Erlang's life, in the proportion of grasped just right, other powerful households see such a result, most of them will choose to cooperate, rather than the fight against the broken net.
Since this period of vows, Wang Kefan has punched and kicked, and has broken out of a world of his own, but at the same time he has offended a large number of people, there are civil officials and generals, as well as gentry merchants, Jianghu forces, in addition to the bottom of the people, almost all sides of the enemy.
He has no channels for exploiting ordinary people, the troops to survive, to develop, will clash with a variety of interest groups, in this complex situation, only to adopt a more flexible strategy of struggle, in order to go further in the cracks.
After a moment of silence, Wang Kefan suddenly raised his head and said to Zhou Guodong: "I am about to celebrate the New Year, I want to go to the mountain and see the two elderly people in the Order Hall."
Tongshan County is the home of Zhou Guodong.
Li Zicheng died in Jiu Gongshan Mountain, Hubei Province.
