After exchanging experiences and asking detailed questions, Jia Yan was sweating profusely.
Can’t wait to come back and take a look:
His wife and children were nowhere to be seen.
He didn't panic. There were military fields nearby. Who dared to bully his people from the Beijing camp?
"Master, the sun is too hot. The young master and his wife went to town. I saw you were in trouble just now, so the kids didn't call you."
At this time, the manservant who was exposed in the sun opened his mouth to explain.
"Why are you going to town?" Jia Yan asked curiously.
"He is going to the Governor's Mansion." The servant was also full of doubts: "It's just that he has red sleeves on his arms and a knife on his waist. He looks very fierce, like a military policeman."
"Military police? Why are these guys here?"
These words made Jia Yan even more surprised. Could there be deserters?
By the way, he must be a deserter. Otherwise, how could he publicize it and invite people to see it? Just to shock.
Thinking of this, he felt relieved and moved forward leisurely.
The reform of the military is one step at a time.
At the beginning, the camp was named Camp, with 8,000 people in one camp, such as Yulin Camp, Mingjie Camp, etc., and later they were collectively called Jingying.
Wu, Shi, team, battalion, association and wing constitute the basic structure of the Beijing camp.
As for the Gendarmerie, the emperor had already set it up when he first reorganized the army. It was regarded as an eye to strictly enforce military discipline, and was only one level lower than the chief officer.
Later, they were unified and renamed military judges. Their status remained unchanged and they were still as arrogant and powerful. They had the power of law enforcement in the military. Although they were nominally subordinate to the Fifth Military Governor's Office, they were actually assigned by the emperor.
But in the military, they still call them Gendarmerie. It's so smooth that they can't change it. Besides, it's more cordial than Military Judge.
As he walked along, he saw many big men in the army one after another, calling friends and setting off towards the town.
After walking for a quarter of an hour, we arrived at the town.
Although it is said to be a town, there are not many civilians. 90% of them are from the Beijing camp, and they all take advantage of the holidays to visit and inspect the place.
Everyone wants to eat their own food next year.
Without him, it would be very difficult to live in the capital. Even the price of food is more expensive than elsewhere.
"father!"
As soon as I got closer, I saw my daughter shouting happily, being led by her son Jia Daishan as a little girl, jumping around, and the straw hat on her head fell off, but she didn't notice it.
"what happened?"
Jia Yan picked up his daughter and put her hat on.
"I heard that the military police caught a man selling his land privately, so he asked us to come and take a look."
Although these words were asked, it was Jia Daishan who answered. He had been studying for several years and was already a half-grown boy at the age of eleven.
"Private sale of land?"
When Jia Yan heard this, he immediately frowned and said angrily: "Why should these people be tried? They can just be executed."
"There are rules in the military!"
At this time, Zhao Shuang, who came over, also came here and said with emotion:
"If there were no such rules, wouldn't it make the military police lawless?"
"No matter how small a matter is, there should be a public trial. These are the rules set by His Majesty. Who dares to violate them?"
"Yes." When Jia Yan thought of the expressionless cold faces of the military police, he immediately nodded in agreement.
According to the rules in the military, any land exchanged for meritorious service or rewarded is not allowed to be freely bought and sold.
Even if a family is extinct, it can only be taken back by the court, and ordinary people are not allowed to mess with it at all.
Such rules are to maintain the army's combat effectiveness for a longer period of time and prevent it from declining rapidly or being taken advantage of by the gentry.
As the crowd gathered, most of the people in the town came, and the black-faced military judge on the high platform nodded:
"Bring the prisoner here."
After a while, two men were brought up.
One was wearing short clothes, strong and tall; the other was pot-bellied, wearing black satin, with a wide face full of fear.
"In the Central Military Governor's Mansion, Wang Jing, the chief judge of the Military Justice Department, with the military rank of Zuo Wei, is here to judge this case. This is Lin County Magistrate of this county——"
After some introductions, there was an uproar immediately.
Even Jia Yan couldn't stop breathing in the cold air, and couldn't stop the fear in his eyes.
"Dad!" Jia Daishan tugged at the corner of his clothes, with a look of longing on his face.
"Hey, you don't know."
Jia Yan shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Military ranks are divided into four levels: sergeant, colonel, lieutenant, and general, and right, middle, left, and upper are the fourth levels."
"Although your father and I are a guerrilla general, I am only a right lieutenant. The judge in front of you is a left lieutenant, two ranks higher than me."
As he spoke, he crossed his legs and looked at the stage, sighing: "It seems that this case will become a solid case."
"Quiet--"
Zuo Wei's scream silenced everyone.
Even the magistrate on the side was so frightened that the fat on his face trembled.
"Wei Qu belongs to the Beijing Camp Front Wing, League Two, Second Battalion, and Team Three. The team leader is Zhang Qianqian. What is his position? I'm right!"
"You're right."
The Dui Zhengzheng on the side nodded in agreement, and the Ying Zheng and Guerrilla also nodded hurriedly.
Wei Qu, who was kneeling in front of him with his head hanging down, had to say in a low voice: "You are right."
"I have been identified." The military policeman on the side shouted.
"Zhou Shi, you are an ordinary citizen. Your family owns more than a thousand acres of land. On September 3rd, you bought 50 acres of military land from Wei Qu for 500 silver yuan. But is this happening?"
"It is a rule in the military that no one is allowed to buy or sell military land. Is this true? Don't you know?"
Wang Jing shouted coldly, making the two people in front of him tremble with fear.
"Master Jun, I don't know!"
The pot-bellied Zhou Shi hurriedly shook his head and said: "It's this guy who said to me that the good water for irrigating the land is ten yuan an acre, so the students can't help but want to buy and sell it. It's him who deceived me."
"Wei Qu, is this possible?"
"Reporting to the judge, that's what happened."
Wei Qu nodded helplessly.
"Why are you selling the land?"
"My mother fell ill, and I borrowed money from my friends. I really had no choice but to sell my military land to raise some money to see a doctor and buy medicine."
Wei Qu cried, tears streaming down his face.
The people watching below all had red eyes and felt the same.
The county magistrate on the side heard this and praised: "What a filial son, he is indeed extraordinary in the capital camp."
Jia Daishan muttered: "Dad, he is so pitiful."
"What's the use of pity? Military law is military law."
Jia Yan shook his head, spoke softly, and stared at the stage intently.
"Hmph!" Wang Jing did not accept this trick and said firmly: "No matter what your reason is, military law cannot be ignored."
"According to military regulations, I sold my land to others and sentenced my whole family to exile in Qiongzhou Prefecture. Do you have any objections?"
"No!" Wei Qu raised his head and begged: "I have nothing to ask for, I just want my mother's disease to be cured."
"The principles of law are nothing more than human feelings." Wang Jing said in a deep voice: "The army will send military doctors to diagnose and treat him, don't worry!"
"Zhou Shi, although you didn't know it, you committed the crime of buying and selling military land. The crime is unforgivable. Let's be exiled to Qiongzhou Mansion together!"
As soon as these judgments were issued, the whole hall fell into silence.
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
I would like to recommend a new book with a relaxed and sultry style, focusing on daily life. Although the name is a little too good, the book is definitely durable and not a harem novel.
The title of the book is "Revival of Spiritual Energy: I Play the Boss of All Heavens", written by the author who has had a dream for ten years!
