Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 501 It's too late to regret!

Although Zheng Mingyou is not outstanding among the many Qingzhang squad leaders, he still has basic abilities.

He knew that Qin Guanwen must not be sent to the court alone by Yang Zhicai's people.It wasn't that he was worried about Qin Guanwen's safety, but that he was afraid that Qin Guanwen would fall into some trap on the way.

For example, he took refuge in Yang Zhicai and became a person on the side of the nobles and big landlords, and then reprimanded the land tax reform in the court.

At the same time, in order to gain the trust of the people in Yangcun, he asked three ordinary people who showed high prestige in Qingzhang Tianmu to accompany him.

With Yang Zhicai as the plaintiff and Xiao Lian as an important witness, they naturally wanted to go.

As soon as these people left, the matter of "the commissioner of Qingzhang sleeping with the concubine of the landlord and the concubine" in Yangcun would come to an end.

The common people are still skeptical of Commissioner Qingzhang. Not only did they lose their previous enthusiasm, even the unmarried women and young daughter-in-laws in the village hid themselves and never showed up again.

But at any rate, no one said strange things in front of them anymore.

Zheng Mingyou knew that if he wanted to further eliminate the common people's misunderstanding about them, he had to wait for the verdict of Qin Guanwen from the Shangyuan County Court.

···
It was dawn when Qin Guanwen was sent to the Shangyuan County Court.

Because the case involved Commissioner Qingzhang, the trial was requested to be expedited, so the trial was scheduled to be held in the afternoon.

In the morning, the prosecutors of Shangyuan County Court conducted a joint patrol to understand the case, and found that Qin Guanwen might be framed by design, but none of the existing evidence could prove his innocence. On the contrary, it was Yang Zhicai who sued He strongly bases Xiaolian's personal and physical evidence.

Because on December [-]st, Auntie Zhu issued the relevant decree, all cases involving land tax reform can be judged quickly and not delayed.

So in the afternoon, under the witness of 33 members of the jury, the Shangyuan County Court made a trial and judgment on the case.

""The Law of the Ming Dynasty", those who are strong alkali, twist; those who fail, have a hundred rods, and flow three thousand miles; those who are young girls under the age of 12, even if they are the same!"

Because the courts of the Ming Dynasty still have the responsibility of popularizing the law to the people, the judges will try their best to explain the relevant laws in every trial.

This time Qin Guanwen was accused of the crime of strong alkali, so the judge read out all three laws related to "Da Ming Law Strong Alkaline" and gave an explanation.

In the last article, "Although He Tongqiang" means that even if a young girl under the age of 12 agrees to have a relationship with her, the man will be sentenced to a crime of strong alkali.

It can be said that since the strong alkali crime began in the Han Dynasty in China, almost all of the strong alkali criminals were sentenced to heavy sentences.Only the Tang Dynasty had the lightest punishment of this kind, with only two and a half years in prison.

The Daming court hearing panel system has only been implemented for a few months, and all the people selected are famous people from all walks of life in the county.Because the jury is only qualified to hear, not jurors.

So, when the judge delivered the sentence, the jury listened in silence.

Only Qin Guanwen, who was sitting in the defendant's seat, was full of despair and regret.

"After the trial, Qin Guanwen strongly defended Yang Zhicai's concubine Wu Xiaolian with convincing evidence, so the First Court of Shangyuan County Court sentenced Qin Guanwen to hang, with a three-month reprieve.

If you are not satisfied, you can appeal to Yingtianfu Court.The trial of this case is over, and the court is adjourned! "

"I don't accept it!" Qin Guanwen struggled and shouted again, "Your Honor, I was really framed! I want to sue!"

The judge looked at him and said, "You will be imprisoned in Shangyuan County Prison for three months, and you have the right to meet your family members here. If you want to sue, you can ask your family to hire a lawyer to sue and defend you."

After finishing speaking, leave.

Qin Guanwen showed despair again after hearing this.

Although he is a citizen of Nanjing and has read some books, his family has declined rapidly since his father died of illness.Now there is only a 50-[-]-year-old mother. Although the family is not impoverished, it does not have much money, otherwise it would not be in its twenties without a wife.

Since the implementation of the new court policy, although the number of lawyers has increased, the cost of hiring lawyers has not decreased much.Given the situation in his family, it was almost impossible to hire a good lawyer to sue.

What's more, Qin Guanwen also knew that it would be very difficult for him to be rehabilitated in this case—since Yang Zhicai deliberately set him a trap, how could he leave evidence to make him stand up?

Most of the jury also left.

None of these people sympathized with Qin Guanwen, but all showed disgust.Obviously, Qin Guanwen has been identified as a strong base criminal and an evil official who uses power to oppress the people.

Yang Zhicai took a step slowly on purpose, and when he brought Xiaolian to Qin Guanwen, he stopped and taunted, "Stinky boy, you dare to have the idea of ​​my master's concubine as a petty official. You really don't know what to do. The court sentenced you to death with a reprieve. If you leave a whole body, it is already cheap for you."

Qin Guanwen stared at Yang Zhicai with red eyes, and then looked at Xiao Lian who was hiding behind him and dared not show her face, struggling to hit the two of them, but the chains restrained them, so he could only roar helplessly.

"Hahaha···"

Yang Zhicai walked away with Xiaolian in his arms and laughed triumphantly.

In the end, it was the other two Qingzhang commissioners who came to accompany Qin Guanwen, one of whom had a good relationship with Qin Guanwen before.

The man came to Qin Guanwen's side and sighed: "I told you to beware of Yang Zhicai and stay away from Yang Zhicai before. If you didn't listen, it's too late to regret it now. Sigh."

Another reprimanded bitterly: "During the training, the teacher told us repeatedly that all landlords are our enemies, and we should be as cautious when facing them as we are enemies.

Fortunately, you are one of us who has a good training record, but once you are flattered, you forget everything you learned in the training.

Now you can be judged as guilty and die, and it also caused our team to lose support in Yangcun and even Chunhua Town, making Qingzhang's work even more difficult.

Qin Guanwen, think about it for yourself, who are you worthy of? ! "

"Ah!" Qin Guanwen yelled in pain, and cried deeply with his headache.

He regretted it terribly.

Unfortunately, there was no chance to stand up again.

···
Zuodu Yushi, Gao Hongtu's mansion.

His disciple Wu Chengli came in and saluted Gao Hongtu, and then said: "Teacher, today there is another case of commissioner Qingzhang committing crimes, one person threatened the landlord of Yang Village, Yang Zhicai, and forced him to sleep in his concubine's room.

Now, less than half a month after the land tax reform started, there have been thirteen incidents in which the commissioner of Qingzhang used his power to bully others and use his power to disrupt the law.

And this is still in Yingtian Mansion, at the feet of the Son of Heaven.If the land tax reform is extended to the whole of Nanzhili and even other provinces in the future, we can see how lawless Commissioner Qingzhang will be.

Your Majesty wants to clear the land and increase the revenue of the treasury is a good thing, but things are not done this way.

As the censor of Zuodu, the teacher has the responsibility to advise the emperor, so you can't wait and see like this any longer! "

The more Wu Chengli spoke, the more excited he became, his eyes turned slightly red, and he looked loyal to the country and the people.

Gao Hongtu was smoking a dry cigarette, frowning.

If it was placed in the Chongzhen Dynasty, and encountered such a thing, he would have criticized the "land tax reform" and related ministers in the court, and would even advise the emperor to stop it in the court.

But today is different.

Although she is a woman today, she is a person who is destined by fate and has great supernatural powers.In the half a year since he took the throne, he has done almost nothing wrong.

In addition, in the thirteen cases mentioned by Wu Chengli, the Qingzhang commissioners involved were all convicted in accordance with the law and were not covered up.

Compared with more than 1000 Qingzhang commissioners, thirteen people are actually only a small number.

Therefore, Gao Hongtu had no confidence in persuading Aimi Zhu.If it can't be done, he doesn't want to do it.

But what Wu Chengli said also has some truth - the land tax reform has only started less than half a month ago, and the scope is also in the Yingtian Mansion at the foot of the emperor. If it expands to other places in the future, won't it get out of control?

Just when Gao Hongtu weighed and hesitated, Jiang Yueguang, the censor of the right capital, came over.

　First more.
