The public trial lasted until three quarters to noon. All the Fan family and his son were taken to prison, waiting for Li Er's final verdict!
The Tang Dynasty implemented a death penalty review system. Except for the emperor, no official could sentence a person to death at will.
The death penalty review system originated in the Han Dynasty and refers to the system of petitioning the emperor to approve the execution of death sentences. Since the Han Dynasty, emperors have begun to pay attention to cases where officials committed capital crimes. At that time, some death penalty cases for officials with an annual salary of more than 2,000 dan were reviewed, while death penalty cases for officials with an annual salary of less than 2,000 dan could be executed without review by the emperor.
During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the death penalty review system was gradually established. Whether local death penalty cases were common people or high-ranking officials and nobles, death penalty cases had to be reported to the "central government" and approved by the emperor himself!
In the Sui Dynasty, "Those who committed capital crimes would be sentenced after three memorials." That is to say, the final decision on whether to impose the death penalty could only be made after three petitions. The Tang Dynasty followed the old system, but if the normal historical trend is followed, in the fifth year of Zhenguan, Li Er changed the "three complex memorials" before execution to "five complex memorials" in order to avoid wrongful killing. Two citations are played on the day before the decisive battle, and three citations are played on the day of the decisive battle.
Therefore, in some TV dramas, local officials arbitrarily sentence people to death and immediately ask for execution, which is unscientific. Ancient rulers have always been very cautious about the death penalty!
"I have taken over Lantian since the beginning of this year. Due to many mundane affairs, I had no time to take care of the people's livelihood! Today, I will use the case of the Fan family and his son to make a guarantee to the folks in Lantian County: as long as I If Hou is still the master of Lantian County, he will never allow bullies like the Fan family and his sons to run rampant again, and he will never allow corrupt officials like the previous Sha County magistrate to go unpunished, let alone allow officials to deliberately bully civilians and merchants for their own benefit. !
In a few days, a locked public opinion box will be built outside the county government. If you are oppressed by big families or officials, you can write the truth on paper and put it into the public opinion box. Only I have the key to this public opinion box. Yes, I will check the letters inside regularly, and I will definitely send someone to thoroughly investigate the issues raised by the folks!
Of course, if someone deliberately falsely reports information and is discovered by this prince, he will definitely be severely punished! The public opinion box is a tool that I give to all people in Lantian County to redress grievances. I hope you can cherish it and use it properly! "
After Li Zexuan finished speaking, Dai Zhou and Magistrate He in the court, as well as the common people and businessmen outside the court, all stared at him with wide eyes and looked at him in disbelief.
It's not that they are making a fuss, but that Li Zexuan's move can definitely be described as unprecedented, and even a bit shocking! Throughout the ages, no official has ever been willing to use this method to give people the right to redress their grievances. Li Zexuan is really the only one!
"The Marquis is wise! The Marquis is mighty!"
"The Marquis is wise! The Marquis is mighty!"
After the people recovered from the shock, they shouted in unison with excitement on their faces.
"Haha! Magistrate He, it seems that it will not be easy for you to be the magistrate of Lantian County in the future!"
Dai Zhou stood up, looked at Magistrate He and said half-jokingly.
In fact, the reason why today's public trial went so smoothly is inseparable from the sufficient preparations done by County Magistrate He in the early stage. Especially Fan Shicheng, an extremely critical witness. When Magistrate He found him, he directly sent Fan Tongdi to the eighteenth level of hell!
Based on this, Dai Zhou admired Magistrate He's ability to investigate cases, otherwise he wouldn't have had time to chat with Magistrate He!
"Haha! What did Dai Shaoqing say? This move by Mr. Hou just saved the county government a lot of time in investigating the case. I'm afraid He, the county magistrate, can do better!"
Magistrate He chuckled.
Dai Zhou narrowed his eyes and whispered thoughtfully: "Magistrate He is quite open-minded, but I don't know if Magistrate He intends to go to Dali Temple to investigate the case. I may be able to arrange something for you!"
This guy has a love for talents. If it were another person, he would never do this.
How sharp is Li Zexuan's ear? Although Dai Zhou deliberately lowered his voice, he was still heard. He glared angrily and interrupted the conversation between the two:
"What does Dai Shaoqing mean by this? You actually want to poach my people in front of me? Isn't that unreasonable? I can't give you the conditions you have at Dali Temple?"
Dai Zhou loves talents, how could he, Li Zexuan, not love talents? To be fair, what he lacks most now is talent! After going through so many things, there is no doubt about Magistrate He's ability. Li Zexuan is planning to wait until now to reuse Magistrate He! Unexpectedly, Dai Zhou would actually take the initiative to poach someone on his territory. This is really intolerable!
"Ahem! Mr. Hou, Dai was just joking, just a joke! Given the loyalty of the county magistrate to you, Mr. Hou, how could he go to Dali Temple with Mr. Dai!"
Dai Zhou knew he was in the wrong and quickly laughed.
"Hmm? It's getting late now. Dai Shaoqing must be in a hurry to return to Chang'an to recover, right? Then I won't let you have lunch here! Let's meet again someday!"
Li Zexuan raised his chin, suppressed his smile, and said.
"ah?"
Dai Zhou was stunned. If he were a modern person, he would just want to say: Is it so real? Not even lunch?
………………………
"Captain, my father agreed! He agrees with your proposal, Commander!"
In the afternoon, Chang Sun Chong came to Li Zexuan's office again and said.
Li Zexuan was slightly surprised. He really didn't expect Changsun Wuji to agree so happily. At first, he thought it would cost a lot of money!
"Well! In that case, I will come to visit your father in person one day and discuss the details in person! Xiao Chong, you don't have to worry about these things. Studying hard is the right thing to do!"
"Yes! Chief Shan!"
Changsun Chong responded, said goodbye and left.
"Mo Zhong, call Pang Feiji over!"
In the office, Li Zexuan was delighted for a while at the growing growth of Yanhuang Bank. Then he shouted out the door and said.
"Yes! Mr. Hou!"
About a quarter of an hour later, Pang Feiji walked in under the leadership of Mo Zhong, bowed and said: "I have met the Marquis!"
"Um!"
Li Zexuan nodded, and then asked directly: "Fei Ji, after so long, have you found out the whereabouts of the remaining three of the four ghosts in Taibai?"
Since the fall of the Cui family, Li Zexuan has been secretly sending people to look for the Four Taibai Ghosts. After all, there are three fish that slipped through the net. If these three people secretly retaliate, his family will really not be able to bear it.
Pang Feiji said with a look of shame on his face: "Back to the Marquis, the general has not been found yet!"
