Daming: Brother, there is no future for monks, let's rebel

Chapter 413
After Zhou Liang finished the trial of the case, he didn't pay attention to this matter.

Murder in the street is not a small case, but don't forget that this is Yanjing.

When the Mongols ruled here, it was not uncommon to kill people in the street.

Later, the world was in chaos, and human life was even less valuable.A lot of people died on the street, it was as common as eating and sleeping.

Especially in winter, the government has to hire corpse collectors to transport out the corpses of beggars and refugees who froze to death, so as to avoid plague.

At that time, there were truckloads of corpses being pulled out.

It was only after the founding of the Ming Dynasty that this situation was effectively improved.Compared with before, it is really just a small scene to die in the street now.

For Zhou Liang, it is a matter of course that killing people pays for their lives and beheaded directly in accordance with the law of the Ming Dynasty.

The follow-up work will naturally be done by other officials in the yamen.

There is no need for him, the Governor of Jingzhao Mansion, to worry about a death row prisoner himself.

As a result, less than half an hour later, a yamen servant ran in in a hurry: "My lord...no...it's not good."

Zhou Liang frowned in displeasure: "Calm down and speak slowly, looking at you like this, how decent is it?"

The yamen servant quickly calmed down as much as possible: "My lord, things are not going well. Just now His Royal Highness brought people over and rushed directly into our prison in Jingzhao Mansion."

"What?" Zhou Liang, who had just advised the yamen servant to calm down, stood up abruptly, his expression changed drastically: "Why did His Royal Highness forcefully break into the prison in Jingzhao Mansion?"

"Could it be that we accidentally caught the wrong man of the King of England? Damn it, this is going to be a big trouble."

At this time, Zhou Liang completely forgot that he was teaching the yamen servant to be calm and calm just now.

But the yamen servant shook his head with a confused expression: "My lord, we don't know what's going on. His Royal Highness led the people and went straight in."

After a moment of hesitation, Zhou Liang quickly lifted up the hem of his official robe, and walked quickly towards the prison: "I'll hurry to meet His Royal Highness the King of England."

Zhou Liang trotted towards the direction of Jingzhao Mansion Prison.

Zhu Han had already met the person he wanted to meet on this trip.

"What's your name?" Zhu Han thoughtfully, looking at the prisoners in the prison.

This prisoner was obviously the one who had just killed someone in the street on Dongjing Avenue and was sentenced to be executed by Yin Zhouliang of Jingzhao Mansion.

The young man who had already changed into uniform and had shackles on his feet looked up numbly.He lowered his head again, turning a deaf ear to Zhu Han's words.

"Bold..." Seeing that this guy didn't even answer the prince's words, the guard next to him scolded angrily.

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Han raised his hand to interrupt the guard.

Stepping forward to the gate of the cell: "I am the King of England, Zhu Han. This time, I am here to give you justice. If you don't say anything, I will not be able to help you even if I want to help you."

Hearing Zhu Han's name, the little bastard was shocked, dragging his rattling shackles, rushed to Zhu Han and knelt down.

Weeping loudly: "My lord, you make the decision for me, my lord. I didn't want to kill him, but I just wanted to scare him, and wanted him to give me my wages so that I could use the money to save my mother. But he insisted Said, I didn’t sign any contract with him at all, and I never worked for him, so it’s impossible to give me money.”

"I know I'm stupid, but I really did work for him. It took me half a month. It was agreed at the time that he would settle the money for me in half a month, so I did it for him. "

"My lord, I'm not afraid of death. I know that killing people will pay for their lives. But if I die, what will my old lady do?"

This guy spoke in a dialect, and he talked with a hammer and a stick, saying whatever came to mind.

It took Zhu Han a lot of effort to fully understand the cause and effect of the incident.

Speaking of it, such a thing is actually not complicated.

The young man's name was Miao Lifu, and his family lived in the suburbs of Yanjing. This time, because his mother was seriously ill and had no money for medical treatment, he just heard that someone was recruiting, and the wages were quite generous.

Now there are job seekers everywhere around Yanjing, and he doesn't think these people are liars.

Considering his family's situation, Miao Lifu originally hoped that the other party could settle the wages every day, or even within ten days.

After all, his mother is in poor health and needs to take medicine as soon as possible.

In the end, the two parties negotiated to settle the wages every half a month.He left his mother in the care of his younger sister, and came to Yanjing alone to work.

As a result, after half a month of hard work, his boss never mentioned the matter of wages.

He asked his boss to argue, but his boss ignored him at all.

As time passed day by day, people in the family also brought news that her mother's illness was getting more and more serious. If she didn't get treated in time, she might really die.

Miao Lifu heard from others that his host would be meeting at Dongjing Avenue today, so he secretly went to block people with a butcher's knife.

Originally, he just wanted to scare his boss, and didn't intend to really kill people.

But instead of paying wages, the boss insulted him and his mother.

In the end, Miao Lifu's temper also came up, and in a moment of anger, he stabbed the businessman who owed him wages twice.

"My lord, I really didn't want to kill anyone. If I didn't come back, I was going to leave, but he said that I was a bastard with a mother but not a mother. Whenever I got angry..."

After finishing what was in his heart, Miao Lifu bowed his head obediently and knelt down.

Zhu Han nodded expressionlessly: "This king knows about this matter. Don't worry, this king will definitely uphold justice for you."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Han turned and left the boss of the Criminal Department.

Liu Shenhong gritted his teeth and cursed: "These profiteers are really worthless."

"My lord, you made repeated orders to strictly forbid them to default on the wages of the workers. At that time, I thought you were worrying unfoundedly. I didn't expect that you would be so bold."

Zhu Han said with a sullen face, "You don't think he's just an exception, do you? I can tell you that this kind of thing has definitely happened a lot recently. It's just that due to various reasons, it hasn't become such a big deal."

"After all, compared with those businessmen, the power of ordinary people like them is too small. If they are threatened, they can only knock out their teeth and swallow them in their stomachs."

"They dare, I tore them apart!" It was the first time Liu Shenhong lost his temper in front of Zhu Han.

Realizing that he had lost his composure, he hurriedly apologized to Zhu Han: "I'm sorry, my lord."

The two stepped out of the criminal prison one after the other, the warm sun shone on their bodies, but they couldn't dispel the cold ice on Zhu Han's face.

Zhou Liang, Yin Zhouliang of Jingzhao Mansion, came late with his official robe.Hurriedly bowed and pleaded guilty: "The lower official has seen the prince who is a thousand years old, and I don't know that the prince will be far away when he arrives. I also ask the prince to forgive me."

"Get up."

Zhou Liang raised his head quietly, and looked at Zhu Han's face.It was dark, obviously not in a good mood.

I don't know who provoked this prince.

Forced a smile: "I don't know why His Royal Highness came to Jingzhao Mansion, I will try my best to help the prince."

He had already racked his brains for a long time, but he couldn't figure out what it was that he had offended the prince.

"You personally tried the riot and murder case just now?" Zhu Han asked coldly.

"Back to the lord, it was a trial by the lower officials." Zhou Liang felt more and more baffled.

If King Ying came here for other cases, he really has no confidence.After all, Yanjing is also the ancient capital of the former dynasty, and the interests of various parties are intricate.

His Jingzhao Mansion has a lot of power in other places, but in a place like Yanjing, he is really a small official with a big sesame and mung bean, and he can't afford to offend anyone.

So when handling many cases, the buttocks must be crooked.

Only in this case, Zhou Liang absolutely had a clear conscience.

"My lord, the facts of this case are clear, the evidence is conclusive, and there are witnesses and material evidence. Moreover, the crime took place on the street, many people were seen, and the parties involved have confessed. I can assure you that no one has been wronged. "

"No problem?" Zhu Han squinted at Zhou Liang: "Didn't you ask about the motive of the crime when you tried the case?"

"This..." Zhou Liang was at a loss for words for a while, and he hesitated to defend himself: "My lord, no matter what the reason is, Miao Lifu committed murder in the street, after all, he violated the law."

"Killing for life has been the principle since ancient times, and the lower officials did not intend to protect the victim."

"Oh?" Zhu Han raised his eyebrows, and jokingly said, "So, do you think your sentence is right?"

"This... this..." Zhou Liang's brain was spinning rapidly.

He really didn't understand what Zhu Han was really thinking.

There are very few people who can secure the position of Governor of Jingzhao who are truly upright.

Such a person, unless he has the ability to reach the sky.Otherwise, at the lightest, he would be dismissed from office, and in serious cases, losing his life would be normal.

If King Ying wanted to protect the murderer with all his heart, Zhou Liang would naturally not confront the prince sensibly.

The question is, does the King of England really want to absolve an ordinary poor man from murder?

Let alone him, no dog would believe such words.

"Could it be that..." Zhou Liang pondered in his heart: "This His Royal Highness must have other purposes."

The more he thought about it, the more Zhou Liang felt that his idea must be right.

Ordinary people may think that now the world is peaceful, Yanjing is full of opportunities, and life is getting better every day.

But these officials can clearly feel the undercurrent surging beneath the calm.

The interests involved in re-establishing a capital city are too great.

Originally, they could get a lot of benefits, but now they can only watch those businessmen earn a lot of money.

Although they have also gained a lot of benefits through investment promotion.But originally they could eat the whole cake, but now they can only cut some cream.

Many people hold a grudge against His Royal Highness the King of England.

These things, although everyone has a very tacit understanding, have not been discussed in public.However, the King of England may not know it.

To do such a thing on purpose at such a sensitive time is definitely fishing.

After affirming his thoughts, Zhou Liang became more cautious when speaking.

"The lower official is just acting impartially in accordance with the Ming Law. If there is anything wrong with the lower official, please ask the prince to make it clear." Zhou Liang felt very fortunate that this case was too small and no special person was involved.

He believed that his judgment was completely in line with the law of Ming Dynasty.No matter what the king's purpose is, it should not be possible to take him under the knife.

Zhu Han smiled: "What a selfless Jing Zhaoyin, it's really a great honor for me to have a good official like you."

"I just try my best to do what I should do, and I can't be praised by the prince." Of course Zhou Liang understood that Zhu Han was mocking himself.

But he had no choice but to play dumb.

"There is something hidden in this case, and it is now being remanded for retrial." Zhu Han ordered bluntly.

Zhou Liang really wanted to say, His Royal Highness, although you are a prince.But to dismiss the case and retry it is the right of the emperor and the Ministry of Criminal Justice. You, a prince, have no control over the Jingzhao Mansion.

As soon as the words came out of my mouth, it became: "I obey the order and retry the case immediately."

Just kidding, this is His Royal Highness.How dare he, a little Jingzhao manor, go against the prince?
This is not knowing how to write the word dead.

Jingzhao Mansion Yin issued an order, and the entire Jingzhao Mansion Yamen moved.

Not long after Lin Putou went out to patrol the streets, people from Jingzhao Mansion ran over and ordered him to find the witnesses.

Hearing these orders, Catcher Lin also looked confused: "Isn't it all over, why is there a new trial?"

It is not unusual for Jingzhao Mansion to retry the case.

After all, sometimes the identities of certain people are not known, but after the sentence is over, it is discovered that there is a big person behind them.

If those characters say a word, they have to be as busy as dogs.

What's more, if both sides have backgrounds, once they fight for some reason.

These people may not be able to calm down for several days

It will not be considered over until the big figures behind have finished fighting or achieved a certain purpose.

However, this time the case will be repeated, and Catcher Lin can't understand it.

As far as he knew, the murderer named Miao Lifu was a commoner who could be seen everywhere, so it should be impossible for him to know any important person.

Inform the people at Linputou to be clear about what's going on here.

Just like the governor of Jingzhao Mansion, people who don't have any eyesight can't stay in Jingzhao Mansion for long.

Maybe when you don't open your eyes and offend someone who shouldn't be offended, then just wait for bad luck.

"Capturer Lin, His Royal Highness came down just now and asked our lord to remand for retrial, and our lord agreed."

The seemingly useless nonsense actually said everything that should be said.

This time, the prince participated in it, and Zhou Liang of Jingzhao Mansion did not stand in line.

"Understood!" Lin Putou understood instantly: "Go back and tell your lord, I will bring all the witnesses back in two minutes at most."

Although the witnesses had been away for a long time, it was too easy for local snakes like them to find someone.

Half an hour later, Zhou Liang carefully brought Zhu Han to the court of Jingzhao Mansion

"My lord, please sit down." He wanted Zhu Han to try the case.

At this time, I don't care about any rules or irregularities.

In short, the most important thing is to pick yourself out first.
