The man who refused to accept the verdict was detained. Soon, more than a dozen people were escorted up. They were all wearing handcuffs and shackles.
"These people are the work of Haraqin Labusi Khan. They reported Duolun's grain output, population, and material reserves to Khan Ahai and Buyan Ahai, which caused the Mongolian nobles to attack us driven by greed. During the defense of Duolun City, I used bows and arrows to pass information to the outside world many times, causing heavy casualties to our soldiers and civilians defending the city. After trial by the Yamen, the evidence was conclusive and I was sentenced to death." As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd immediately became excited. This half-year siege of the city The battle to defend the city.
Many people have lost relatives and friends. When I think of the tragic fate that my family will face once the city is broken.
The eyes were red with anger. The shouts of people around were deafening, and they crowded forward like a tide.
I wish I could come up and beat them to death. The soldiers quickly held their halberds horizontally to block the crowd and shouted: "Back off, back off."
"Any crime that endangers the safety of the Ming Dynasty and the people is treason and must be severely punished. Everyone has the obligation to report such crimes to the government immediately. The government will give honors and material rewards." The law enforcement officials quickly took these people away. , to avoid accidents due to public anger.
Then a man who looked like a boatman was brought up.
"This man was punting a boat at the ferry. In order to make more money, he overloaded the boat to solicit passengers. As a result, the boat capsized. He was afraid of being held responsible and chose to escape instead of going into the water to rescue the guests who fell into the water. As a result, more than ten people who could not swim drowned. He died. He ran to the Mongols. Because he could punt, he was sent by the Mongols to take charge of the ferry. He escaped before the siege. This time the Mongols were defeated, and he was captured along with the surrendered Mongols. "
"Do you have anything to say, whether you plead guilty or not." The man, dressed like a boatman, knelt on the ground and howled, beat his chest and feet, and cursed himself for being a beast.
"I plead guilty, and I deserve what I got."
"According to the land and water transportation management regulations promulgated by Duolun Yamen, merchants must have the obligation to ensure the safety of customers. In this situation where the ship capsizes due to fault or force majeure, the obligation to rescue must be fulfilled. Taking into account the parties' usual peace of mind He was timid, panicked, and failed to take action to try his best to rescue the people who fell into the water. Instead, he chose to evade responsibility. The criminal must be punished by law. At the same time, compensation should be paid to the families of the victims. He was sentenced to ten years of hard labor in the quarry. The wages for these ten years will be used for To compensate the victim's family." Xiao Niangpi said: "Master, this rule is reasonable. There are many punters and ferrymen in Ming Dynasty, and many of them seek wealth and murder. After robbing the guests, they throw them into the water. Just say that he slipped and fell into the water. No one saw it anyway, and there is no evidence. The government can't punish him. With this law, you are your boat, and you will be responsible for anything that happens. It will reduce a lot of such cases. Lin Yueru also said: "Dongchang has dealt with an incident. The inn owner ignored the sudden illness of a guest and even locked the door. As a result, the guest died, and they took the opportunity to divide the guest's property. Property. I didn’t expect that this person was an informant from Dongchang, and he had important letters on him, which almost ruined our event." Yang Fan nodded and said, "When I reviewed, there was another incident. A private school teacher took his children on a spring outing. As a result, a child accidentally fell into the manure pit. The husband felt dirty, so he did not go to rescue the child, causing the child's death. I decided to sentence him to three years of hard labor. In this case, you take the person out, and at the same time you We have taken on the responsibility of ensuring their safety. Incidents of this type are all due to our own actions and we have the obligation to ensure the safety of others. We must be responsible." After the introduction of each incident, there was a lot of discussion outside. The common people analyzed the incident according to their own understanding and expressed their opinions with their own simple concepts.
Yang Fan said: "A big reason why officials are corrupt is that the people don't understand the law. Therefore, we must make great efforts to popularize the law among the people. Once the people understand the law, they will not be so easy to bully. They will know how to use legal weapons to protect themselves legitimate rights and interests. Next, several cases of fights and fights resulting in fatalities were publicly dealt with.
"Everyone, please don't fight. If you lose, you will be injured and you will have to pay for medical treatment. If you win, you will go to jail. If you have any disputes, you can resolve them with Li Zheng or the government. Duolun is not like other parts of the Ming Dynasty. The county magistrate can do whatever he wants. Torture is used. Not only the criminal is beaten, but the accuser is also beaten, and even the witness can be beaten. Torture is strictly prohibited in Toronto. So everyone can rest assured that you can come to the lawsuit safely. You will not be spanked." Next, another A batch of eucalyptus items have been processed.
It's almost noon. The public trial is finally over. Sibeigou brought his whole family to the hearing. The old man said: "You all listen carefully, study the Fa, and don't cause trouble. If you don't understand the Fa, you will just open your eyes and be blind. When things happen, you will get angry and become irrational." Si Xiaosong and Si Xiaobai were very anxious. , but I didn’t dare to leave, so I could only listen to the old man’s lessons.
The two of them purchased 200 sesame seed cakes from Heji Shaobing Shop in the morning. At this time, it is packed in a backpack and wrapped in a clean drawer cloth.
I plan to sell it to people in the square at noon. They both figured it out, and everyone was rushing to see the new show.
I will definitely not leave after the public trial, and I will definitely be hungry if I don’t eat for a day. At that time, the two of them would sell sesame cakes with baskets on their backs.
This is a good business. After listening to my grandfather's lesson, I quickly told my mother to hold a seat for them. After a while, the sesame cakes were sold out so that they could come back to listen to the show.
Then two boys quickly ran out to sell sesame seeds. I didn't dare to run around during the public trial, but now I can of course do it.
They shouted loudly,
"Seobing, sesame cake, pastry sesame cake, two big bucks each."
"Hey, you two little brats, Caihei, the sesame cakes cost a big buck each, but you actually sell them for two big bucks. Keep it for yourselves. No one will buy yours." People around them cursed one after another.
"There is a rich sesame seed cake. It's not far away. You always turn around and go out. It's only a few steps away from the square. You keep going out, can you come back?"
"Hey, good boys, you two bad boys are waiting here." The man cursed angrily. But then I smelled the aroma of sesame cakes, and my stomach rumbled unsatisfactorily.
I haven't eaten since I came to occupy the space in the morning. How can I not be hungry? On the other side, a little girl cried: "Mother, mother, I want to eat sesame cakes, I'm hungry." The woman holding the child comforted her in a low voice: "Good girl, be patient, after watching the show, go home, mother." I'll make some noodles for you, okay?" Si Xiaosong put the basket on the ground, opened the drawer cloth, took out a golden sesame seed cake, shook it and said, "The best sesame seed cake, the bottom of the pastry is covered with sesame seeds on both sides. It's fragrant and soft. The quantity is limited, while supplies last." Suddenly many children were so greedy that they cried.
Parents angrily scolded these two bad boys. Now that life is better, I can still afford a few sesame seed cakes.
So, they all cursed and spent money to buy a few sesame seed cakes for the children and the elderly as a cushion. Lin Yueru and Xiao Niangpi in the teahouse were giggling with laughter. These two bad boys were as good as Chen Zhuzhu in their swaying.
A young man in charge of the guard next to him said: "Sir, these two boys also made meritorious deeds during the Battle of Duolun. They are first-class merits." Yang Fan immediately stared. First-class merits are not easy to establish. Many of them are awarded. Of a hero who died in the line of duty.
Unless you make a significant contribution, it's simply not possible. These two boys are not simple.
