Zou Youlian had been using the Hong county magistrate's relationship to sell men in the corvee ever since he became Hong's county magistrate. After Judge Hong returned to his hometown, he was replaced by judges Yan and Zhu. During the tenure of the three judges, Zou Youlian traded a total of 785 adult men.
All the men were sold to the mine through Gao Tong's hands. The price given by the mine was high, and each male could be sold for up to ten taels of silver, which was more than seven thousand and eight hundred taels.
After Gao Tong took 60% of his money, Zou Youlian could still get 3,000 taels of silver.
District Judge Xu provided evidence of the crimes one by one, and asked Master Yu to read them out in class. But Zou Youlian kept his mouth shut and did not say a word. His son and grandson were all dead, only his life was left, there was no need to confess for the promotion of others.
Ming Shaoqing did not need Zou Youlian to speak, since in Fucheng, he had his subordinates torture the leaders of the Water Bandit Village.
The punishment in the Dali Temple was similar to the punishment in the army, even worse the leaders in the village of water bandits could not stand it, so they told her all the things they had partnered with Zou Youlian to sell men in labor services.Year, and pressed their fingerprints Her confession was placed on Judge Xu's desk.
"The evidence of the crime in this case is convincing. To show the grandeur of the criminal law and the way of the world, we must be given a severe punishment! " Zu county magistrate read the brief and dense documents.
But ...
"Zou Youlian still has a big case of colluding with the water bandits. He had to be taken to the Dali Temple in the capital to stand trial, so he would not be executed in Tianfu County. " So judge Xu
finished speaking, the sufferers who had come to listen shouted: "My master, this Zou Youlian ferocious beast has killed hundreds of people in our Tianfu County, he said, if such a heartless thing did not immediately kill him and give it to the dog, how could he be worthy of those who died!
" ? HIS?To keep my children alive, I saved up food and money, so I didn't dare to buy meat several times throughout the year. When the boy grew up and made money, the family built a new house and moved out of the old house that had been destroyed."
"My master, Zou Youlian is a beast that has injured many people. Look at the people present, every family has been killed by him. If you didn't slash him in Tianfu County, how could you be worthy of dead souls?" Zou Youlian and Gao Tong sold it to the mine
. In fact, the work in the mine could kill people, and Ming Shaoqing asked for some copper mines and iron mines that sold people from the confessions of some leaders in the water bandit village , and sending people to this mine to ask me the news I've got is people have died of exhaustion.
The suffering teachers present all cried loudly as they thought of their own men, boys, and brothers being killed this way. Some people were still holding on to the coffin, crying about all sorts of difficulties on the empty coffin that contained only one suit of clothing, which made county magistrate Xu have a headache from crying, she said, and hurry to comfort them.
Ming Shaoqing got up and said to the people present: "The Zou Youlian Case has been heard by Datian. Great Chu we use heavy codes. Wherever the execution took place, he would definitely die. And executions in the capital are more entertaining." The heroic spirit of the dead."
When the sufferers heard this, they said one after another: "Ming Shaoqing said that the capital is the residence of the emperor, if it is a man/son/my brother knew that the one who killed them was beheaded in the capital, I would be happy underground. This was because the emperor cared for them, but this was a happy event for Guangzong Yaozu. " The mouth of District Judge Xu twitched,
and he spoke for more than two quarters of an hour, in order for them not to make a fuss, Ming Shaoqing After a few words, they were instantly happy, and they still wanted to honor Zong Yaozu's happy event? Can you use words?
When county magistrate Xu slandered, he heard an old woman whisper: "Ming Shaoqing is really handsome, and his entire body looks much better than our county magistrate." A middle-aged woman next to him replied She said: "That's natural
. Our county magistrate comes from a peasant family, and he had to pluck dirt to cultivate the land since he was a child; ming Shaoqing came from a family, and he had played the piano, played the flute, and wrote poetry since she was a child. How could the judge compare to Ming Shaoqing?"
District Judge Xu: "..."
District judge Xu turned his head and sat back under the mirror hanging high, continuing to read the punishment results from the other accomplices.
The old officials, village chiefs, and village heads from various cities who participated in the case were all sentenced to death as long as they were alive. The dead were taken for granted.
Old officials, old village chiefs, old village chiefs and their families cried and begged for mercy, but they were dragged by district soldiers and government officials and put in jail.
After dragging all the accomplices away, Judge Xu wiped the sweat off his forehead, and spoke of the compensation: "Your Majesty sympathizes with you who have lost a man in your family, and your life is not easy, so he issued an oral warrant to compensate you for every Twenty taels of silver for the family."
Severe droughts in the northwest, coupled with military disasters in various places, the imperial palace has given a lot of silver to alleviate disasters and military disasters. , and it was the Shangguan Pavilion that asked for twenty taels of silver to give to these afflicted teachers.
Upon hearing this, the afflicted teachers present immediately knelt down and shouted for longevity.
Because too many men were trafficked, there were nearly 800 people, and when every household came to take the money, the, they had to check their registration and household registration records District Judge Xu and the others were busy until midnight before handing over his compensation. Finish everything.
On the way, I also persuaded the sufferers to go home first and come back to take the money tomorrow, but they refused, saying that it was too far to go to the district, to go, and county magistrates Xu and the others could only accept them.
After completing the compensation work, I had not slept for several hours, and I would be busy decapitating the accomplice the next day.
Many accomplices were executed this time, and they were all famous officials, village heads, and other figures. The preventive effect was much better than when Wan Lifang was killed. The dangerous self, who had done something bad, woke up in the middle of the night.
After the corvee male sales case was over, Ming Shaoqing asked Zou Jiang: "I heard that when this person sued Zou Youlian, he used corruption, fraud in scientific examination, he said, abuse of power and other crimes..." He didn't say anything
. After which, Judge Xu County knelt down in fear ... The only crime he handed over to Fucheng Yamen was the crime of trading the good guy Zou Youlian. Due to the perjury, County Judge Xu did not dare to report other things How did Shaoqing know?
Upon completion, County Judge Xu felt that he had buried his neck in the ground and was about to reincarnate.
Ming Shaoqing looked at County Judge Xu in fear like this, and said with a smile: "Judge Xu, don't be nervous. I have no other intention. I just want to see Zou Jiang.
" so scared to the point of breaking out in a cold sweat: "What are you doing seeing Zou Jiang? He's just a 60-year-old guy, just a little smart. My master is busy with business, so I don't need to see it." If Zou Jiang meets Ming Shaoqing alone, give it a go
knew Ming Shaoqing what he was doing. In the case of perjury, not only would Zou Jiang die, but Xu Chongfeng would also die.
Ming Shaoqing was speechless, only staring at County Judge Xu with a smile, and finally said: "Tonight, I will meet Zou Jiang, does District Judge Xu understand?"
As a lower official of Ming Shaoqing, county magistrate Xu did not dare to do so . After nightfall, he anxiously brought Zou Jiang to meet Ming Shaoqing.
