Chapter 613： false accusation

Chapter 613 False accusation

All doubts and dissatisfaction are scum in front of the hunting knife!

No matter how dissatisfied, unwilling, or opposed the awakened man was, when Liu Dadao put the hunting knife across the man's neck, the man obediently took off his shoes.

"Damn, it stinks! It smells worse than his mother's salted fish!"

Liu Dadao just picked up the shoes that the man took off, and was so smoked by the shoes that he almost rolled his eyes. He quickly threw the shoes into the pile of shoes, and cast a contemptuous look at the man.

It's not what I want to take off!

The man was full of dissatisfaction, but for the sake of the hunting knife, he shrank his neck and didn't dare to say a word.

"Thank you Brother Dadao." Seeing this, Zhu Pingan smiled slightly and thanked Liu Dadao.

"Grandfather, why are you being polite to us?" Orion Liu Dadao grinned and shook his head repeatedly.

"It's benefactor, it's what we should do." The other hunters also said.

"Brothers, I just said that you saved me." Zhu Pingan put down the branches and said, seeing the excited faces of the hunters who wanted to refute, he touched his head and said helplessly, "Uh, okay , okay, but then don’t call me En Gong, just call me Ping An Lang.”

"No, we can't call."

"That's right, how can I do that? How can I call my benefactor by his first name." The hunters shook their heads again and again, "If the old man is still here, he must scold us for not knowing etiquette."

Regarding the addressing issue, from "Engong" to "Adult", the two parties finally reached an agreement and set Zhu Ping'an's address as "Master".

During the exchange, Zhu Ping'an and the six hunters got to know each other further. The scar-faced hunter who is the leader of the six hunters is called Liu Mu, who is the best among them and the best hunter in their mountain village; Most of them are familiar with each other. The more active Orion is called Liu Dadao. He was the one who woke up the two people who passed out by urinating just now. They are named after weapons, hoping that they will become good hunters in their village in the future. The names are Liu Daqiang, Liu Dahammer, Liu Daax, and Liu Dagang.

In comparison, only Liu Mu's name sounds more serious.

These six hunters have only arrived in the capital not long ago. After they sneaked back to the village at the foot of Yunmeng Mountain to bury their relatives last time, they hurried back again.

They are still wearing a crime! This time, returning to the village to bury the folks was also carried out secretly.

Back then, a hundred households of Zhao killed the good and pretended to be meritorious, killing all the old and young in a village, and took all the heads to pretend to be Tartars to repay their merits. More than a dozen hunters returned from the battlefield and met Uncle Liu who survived by going out to fetch water. Not reconciled, he went to the county yamen to beat drums to complain, suing a hundred households that Zhao Daying was cruel to all women, children and children in the village.

However, Zhao Baihu has a lot of power behind him, and he is also protected by officials. In the end, the county magistrate ruled that the women, children, and children in the village were killed by the Tartars. hero.

The ancient law has always been "false accusation against others", the meaning of so-called false accusation is very simple, that is, if it is proved that you deliberately fabricated facts to falsely accuse others, then the government will punish you with the crime you falsely accused them. For example, Zhang San sued Li Si for intentional homicide. If it is proved to be a false accusation, Li Si is not guilty, and Zhang San himself will be punished by the government for homicide.

False accusation against sitting on the throne, this law was created from the Qin Dynasty, and was inherited by successive dynasties, and further developed, a new article was added, "Whoever falsely accuses a person of fame and reputation will be punished with a higher crime." Fame refers to "Xiu Cai" and above officials.

The Ming Dynasty was no exception. Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang paid attention to governing the country with strict codes. On the basis of inheriting the false accusation of the previous dynasty, he further increased the punishment for the crime of false accusation. For those who are punished, the crime of false accusation shall be added to the second class; for those who falsely accuse others of being sentenced to imprisonment, exile, or rod punishment, the crime of false accusation shall be added to the crime of third class. The maximum penalty for punishment is one hundred rods and three thousand miles."

Orion sued Zhao Daying for killing the whole village, and the county magistrate ruled that Zhao Daying was not guilty of one hundred households, so the Orion who sued was a false accusation! According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, it should be divided into false accusations and false charges, and punished according to the conviction of a murderer.

Da Ming Law: Murderer, die!

Thus, all the hunters who went to sue Zhao Daying, a hundred households, were all sentenced to prison and sent to prison, waiting to be executed after autumn.

Liu Mu, Liu Dadao and the other six went to buy paper money, candles and other sacrificial objects for the fathers and villagers who died unjustly. On the way, he was chased and killed by Zhao Daying from hundreds of households several times, and escaped after fleeing dozens of miles into the mountains. Then there was the scene of meeting Zhu Pingan in the mountains on the outskirts of Beijing.

The reason why the county magistrate decided to execute after autumn was because of the ancient tradition: "The king matches the sky, which is called his way. The sky has four seasons, and the king has four politics. If there are four seasons, they are of the same kind, and the world has the same thing. Celebration is spring, Rewards are summer, punishments are autumn, and punishments are winter. Celebrating rewards and punishments is indispensable, just like spring, summer, autumn and winter must be prepared.” The ancients paid special attention to Taoism following nature and conforming to the weather. All things grow and thrive, spring and summer are the time for all things to grow; autumn and winter leaves are withered, full of killing spirit; the system of the world should also follow the will of heaven, spring and summer are rewards, autumn and winter are executions.

"Ming Hui Dian" clearly stipulates: "The execution of heavy prisoners must be done after autumn, and when there is no wrong time, so as to hurt business." That is to say, the execution of heavy prisoners must be done after autumn.

That's why the county magistrate sentenced "behead the prisoner and execute the sentence after autumn".

Right now, those hunters who were imprisoned in the local county government prison have not been executed. In theory, there is still a glimmer of life.

That's why Liu Mu, Liu Dadao and the others buried their fathers and fellow villagers and immediately returned to the capital, trying to save their relatives in prison by suing the imperial court. Then when they tried to sue the imperial court, they found that there was no way to sue the imperial court. Not to mention the imperial court, they can't even enter the imperial city. They couldn't even enter the yamen of the Ministry of Justice, and they were driven away by the guards if they got close. In addition, they are still in the body of guilt, Lu Yin and identity are problems.

Of course, it was not without a little gain. When they were hitting a wall and almost desperate, they found out that Zhu Ping'an had impeached Zhao Daying from a hundred households.

Originally, after they had prepared something, they spent their whole life repaying Zhu Pingan for his kindness. Now that they heard that Zhu Pingan risked his official career to impeach Zhao Daying for their village, they were even more conquered by Zhu Pingan's charisma of pleading for the people.

For the sake of their relatives in the prison and to repay their kindness, the six hunters began to inquire about Zhu Pingan in the capital like a headless chicken.

Coincidentally, I heard Zhu Ping'an's voice on the way, and today's scene happened.
