According to incomplete statistics, nearly 100,000 people lost their lives due to car accidents in Daming last year alone.
If you are traveling on a mountain road and are suddenly stoned to death due to a landslide, that is bad luck, and there is really nothing you can do.
But most of the reasons are due to violations of traffic rules, and many people fall victim to these violations.
Since cars were sold to the public, car owners have become more and more rampant as time goes by.
It would be even worse if you drive a luxury car. After drinking half a pound of liquor and stepping on the accelerator, it feels like you can drive directly to the road to heaven...
It has become a common thing for drunk driving to hit people or even hit the card. It happens frequently all over the mainland of Ming Dynasty and has been repeatedly investigated.
When Emperor Haojing left Beidu, the most serious traffic accident occurred when Cui He, the son of Cui Feng, a doctor in the household department, killed two people, hit seven others, hit a traffic jam, and crashed a patrol car while driving drunk.
Afterwards, instead of letting his son surrender, Cui Feng went around trying to bribe the investigators and turn the case into a trivial matter.
After the case was reported to the cabinet, Chief Assistant Xia Wanchun only ordered Cui He to be detained temporarily to collect relevant personal and material evidence, but did not let the Three Justice Department carry out follow-up procedures.
As a result, people can't help but speculate. There are rumors in the market that Xia Wanchun also accepted Cui Feng's benefits and let Cui He live in the prison for a while and then be released after a while.
The chain reaction of this incident was that various wealthy gentry children in Beidu became emboldened, ignored traffic rules, and repeatedly committed crimes, to the extent that they were reported to the police every day.
"Cui Hyuk, do you have anything to say?"
After Emperor Haojing came back, he wanted to meet a member of the "Living Room Commando".
"Your Majesty, I did not drive drunk that day. It was actually due to the loss of control of the vehicle."
Cui Hyuk had long been told that he must deny his drunk driving and put all the blame on the vehicle.
"Oh~! That's it! Cui Feng, do you think so too?"
Zhu Cixiang had seen this kind of excuse many times, and he didn't show any other expression.
"Your Majesty, I'll send someone to check the car afterwards. It's because the brakes failed!"
Of course Cui Feng has to help his son at critical moments. He is just a son and must protect him.
According to the relevant content of the "New Ming Dynasty Law", the parties involved in accidents caused by loss of control of the vehicle will be given a lighter sentence.
"Is there any evidence from the Three Laws Division that the vehicle lost control?"
"Your Majesty, this is evidence!"
Of course Cui Feng has evidence, and they have already communicated with each other. After taking the money, Cui Feng will naturally give him what he wants.
"Hmm~!"
Of course, Zhu Cihong's face-to-face testimonial is true. It can only explain one thing, that is, there are accomplices of this guy in the Sanfa Division. The good news is that it has the signatures of relevant personnel.
On the day of the accident, there were witnesses and surveillance videos, but afterwards, the surveillance videos were mysteriously "lost", which is very intriguing...
"Tell the victim's family!"
"Cao Min knocks to see my emperor! Long live my emperor! Long live! Long live!"
Zhu Cixiang didn't let them stand on equal footing. Both sides were related to the case, so it was good to just kneel down like this.
There is no doubt that the Cui family wanted to use the loss of control of the vehicle as an excuse to remove Cui He from the case.
As a result, the victim's family will definitely not accept this result, and neither will a certain emperor.
"I already understand the general situation of this case and the demands of both parties. There is insufficient evidence of Cui He's drunk driving, and it is currently impossible to prove his direct injury relationship with the victim."
"Your Majesty, think twice..."
The families of the victims began to kowtow and beg the emperor to reconsider such a judgment. This was really unfair to them.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Cui and his son were naturally very happy after hearing this. This was the result they had been expecting.
"Your Majesty has spoken, and you should stop making noise!"
Yang Jinchao hurriedly scolded these arrogant idiots with a male duck's voice. The emperor hasn't finished speaking yet, so how can you speak?
"Regarding this case, there is no need to go to the Tribunal for Trial. I have made the ruling. The rest is for the Cui family to compensate the victim's family. I believe this is a fair sentence. Cui He, Cui Feng, you and your son What do people think?”
It's been a long time since I solved a case, and I haven't deceived people for a long time. A certain emperor still felt quite satisfied. +
"Your Majesty is wise, I agree to compensate you!"
This means that the son will be released from prison soon, and allocating some money will not be a big deal.
"That's good. Cui He killed two people. One man was forty-five years old, and the other woman was twenty-two years old. The man's annual living expenses are calculated according to one hundred silver coins, and for forty-five years, the living expenses are 4,500 silver coins. The woman's annual living expenses Living expenses are calculated based on fifty silver coins, which means eleven hundred silver coins for twenty-two years. Men can work for another twenty years and earn one hundred silver coins per year, and two thousand silver coins for twenty years. Women can work for thirty years and earn one hundred silver coins per year. Fifty silver coins, thirty years is one thousand five hundred silver coins. The woman still has a young son in her family who needs to be raised. The youngest son is three years old and there are still twelve years left before he becomes an adult. He needs to have living expenses of one hundred silver coins per year. Twelve years is one thousand two hundred silver coins. . Therefore, the man’s family must be compensated 6,500 silver coins, and the woman’s family must be compensated 4,700 silver coins. The total compensation for the two deceased people is 11,200 silver coins. Among the seven injured, one was seriously injured and is now unable to Normal travel. The injured person is thirty years old, and his annual living expenses are one hundred silver coins, thirty five years is three thousand silver coins, he can work for thirty five years, and he earns one hundred silver coins per year, thirty five years is three thousand five hundred silver coins, a total of six thousand Five hundred silver coins. The other six people, depending on their individual circumstances, must pay a total of 7,800 silver coins to the six people. In addition, the checkpoint was damaged due to card rushing and a patrol car was crashed, and a compensation of 10,000 taels was required. Thousand silver coins. The total of each item is thirty-seven thousand five hundred silver coins."
A certain emperor had his own calculation method, and the standards for dealing with these scum were certainly higher than those of the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country on the front line.
"Ah...this?"
Cui Feng never expected that he would have to pay so much money. Isn't this too bizarre?
At the beginning, I managed everything myself, but I only paid that kind of moron 20,000 silver coins.
"Cui Feng, are you unwilling to compensate?"
Zhu Cixiang had been waiting for this expression for a long time. Since it was a trap, he had to catch the other party off guard.
"Your Majesty, my family's property is not rich, so I hope you will be merciful!"
Of course Cui Feng wanted to cry for poverty, for fear of being exposed.
"Okay! You must pay the full amount at once tomorrow. The overdue payment will be calculated from the day after tomorrow. For every day of delay, you will have to pay a 5% late fee!"
The late payment fee was only over 1,800, less than 2,000 silver coins. A certain emperor believed that this was not a big sum of money for the defendant's family.
"……ah?"
Don't you mean to be merciful?
Why did it get worse?
Cui Feng is confused now!
"I remember that Aiqing has served the court for many years, and I have already reduced the amount of payment for Aiqing. Could it be that I am wrong? How about doubling the payment?"
Doubling it would be 75,000 silver coins, which was a considerable amount of compensation in Beidu.
If you have to pay so much money if something goes wrong, then few children would dare to cause trouble.
"Absolutely not allowed~! I accept the Holy Judgment!"
Cui Feng had turned a corner and knew that the emperor was deliberately blackmailing him.
But the matter has come to this, and once he refuses to accept it, it will be equivalent to retrialing the case.
"That's good! This is one of the cases committed by Cui He. I have four other cases here, all committed by Cui He. The chief assistant is really shameless. I must personally try such a small matter. Others The total compensation for the four cases is 25,800 silver coins. Including this case, the total is 63,300 silver coins. Aiqing will pay the compensation in full tomorrow and Cui He can be released!"
This is called a dog pulling out a sheep's intestines, and the more it pulls, the more it pulls.
Since the Cui family is quite rich, they should spend more blood.
A certain emperor would never be merciful when it comes to disemboweling others!
"...Your Majesty, this is too much!"
The more Cui Fengshi heard, the more frightened and distressed he became. He didn't expect that the prodigal son actually had other things that he was deliberately hiding from him.
"Too much? Is the amount unlucky? Well, just pay 66,666 silver coins to celebrate the occasion!"
One sentence will cost you more than three thousand silver coins!
Is it exciting? Not fun? Still want to play?
The servants and guards next to him wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh. Cui Feng actually dared to bargain with the emperor. It seemed that he had suffered less than usual!
What a shame, this person in front of you is your ancestor!
"...I thank you for your kindness!"
Cui Feng now knew that if he said more words, the total amount would go up, so he simply thanked him directly.
Cui He on the side wanted to argue, but Cui Feng stopped him with a sharp look.
Five cases cost him more than 60,000 silver coins. How many times would it take to get his money back?
If this prodigal son dares to cause trouble in the future, I will break his legs directly!
This is the best result that a certain emperor can get for the victims and their families. After taking the money, they can put the matter to rest.
If the common people want to overthrow the official, they have to wait for the opportunity, and they can only realize this long-cherished wish through other people, such as...
Since one day of delay would result in an extra 5% late fee, Cui Feng did not dare to delay even one day. On the same day, he used his house book, land deeds, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, jewelry, and jewelry as a mortgage, plus cash. Just collected the compensation.
"Dad! This money is so unfair!"
Cui He also felt that his family had suffered a big loss, and he felt resentful in his heart and mouth.
"What an injustice? Do you still want to come back?"
Cui Feng really regretted giving birth to such a prodigal son. Even a son with crippled legs would be cheaper than this guy.
"Dad, I know some heroes..."
"Shut up! Never have such thoughts!"
"Why?"
Cui He was still a little confused. He didn't dare to offend the emperor, so he didn't dare to deal with those unruly people?
"Stupid! Do you know why His Majesty would personally try the case you committed?"
"...I don't know!"
"His Majesty intends to use our family as an example of punishment, and the three judicial divisions can follow suit when handling the remaining cases!"
"...What's wrong with this?"
"Bastard! Thanks to you! Our family is targeted by the emperor!"
"...Dad! Hasn't the emperor finished dealing with it?"
"Idiots like you, even if you become an official, you will still be beaten to death by your colleagues! You are not allowed to gather with those bad friends again and think about your mistakes behind closed doors!"
"Dad! You haven't told me the reason yet!"
"Our family has been targeted by the emperor. If there is another disturbance, the emperor will definitely take action on our family!"
"...This...Dad, isn't that the case?"
"No? You don't understand the Holy Spirit too much! For a fool like you who wants to die, the grass on his grave is as tall as one person!"
"..."
"You just said you wanted to find some heroes in the world. If they actually act according to your wishes and cause death, you will be the mastermind. As a father, you will be an accomplice. Our family will be confiscated by the emperor and wiped out!"
"No way?"
"No? Do you have the final say on this matter? This place is at the feet of the Emperor. How can we allow people in the world to run wild? It's a blessing to be accused of being a rebel!"
"..."
"From now on, you are not allowed to go out without my father's permission. Otherwise, don't blame my father for being ruthless. Because of you, a rebellious son, our family will go bankrupt!"
After Cui Feng said this, he walked away, becoming increasingly angry as he spoke.
After hearing Cui He's case, Zhu Cixiang instructed the cabinet and the Three Justices Division that all cases in custody and without strong evidence should be tried according to the standards of Cui He's case, focusing on compensation for the victims.
In Beidu alone, there are more than 10,000 pending related cases, involving more than 26,000 victims.
According to the standard of compensation of 500 silver coins per victim, the total amount would be more than 13 million.
Of course, since many victims have died or been seriously injured on the spot, the total compensation must be more than 10 million.
The penalty results in the Ming Dynasty were determined based on the comprehensive consideration of the "New Ming Dynasty Law" and previous cases.
"Judgment" refers to cases signed by the Emperor's Holy Judge or the Emperor, and Cui He's case is one of them.
This is of course good news for suspects in custody who can be released on bail as long as their families pay money.
If your family has no money and you dare to commit crimes, then you will be sorry and you will have to be sent to mine to pay back the money.
Assuming that one hundred silver coins worth of ore can be dug out in one year, then the compensation of five hundred silver coins will only take five years of digging.
This is not important, what is important is that the factory guards started "visiting" the whole city!
The targets of the visit are those guys who think they can get away with it. Just because they weren't caught before doesn't mean they won't be caught now.
"Please sir, come with us!"
This is the greeting that scares the family heads the most. It is like a reminder. The prison of the factory guard is no joke.
But there is no other way. Once you reject someone, you are openly defying the court. Now the emperor is back.
Xia Wanchun has also been implementing double standards. The presence and absence of the emperor are completely different.
This made many children from rich families who were used to being indulged feel very uncomfortable, and some even ran away in front of the factory guards...
According to the order above, if the subject escapes in person, factory guards have the right to arrest him by any means, including shooting.
If the subject resists, the factory guards can kill him on the spot!
There is no one of his own in these things, so a certain emperor will not throw a rat into a trap.
According to Emperor Haojing's order, factory guards set up checkpoints at intersections throughout the city and implemented a three-day curfew.
All temporary checkpoints are equipped with armored vehicles, and anyone who dares to force their way through the checkpoints will be fired upon by machine guns.
This is how a certain emperor told some people that these are extraordinary times, and whoever dares to commit crimes will be responsible for the consequences!
Before moving, of course, give it a good cleaning...
