Chapter 484: Woe to Wife and Children
Because of the excessive force, it was slashed on the eaves by the well, and Oda's saber was directly broken in half.
Xiao Tian didn't feel distressed, this knife was not his.
Liangchen looked at the half-cut knife in his hand and threw it on the ground.
He took out a brand-new white handkerchief from his sleeve, wiped the blood that had splashed on his face, and threw it into the well.
After glancing at the half of the severed palm again, Rao had the experience of slaughtering Taizhu Hong, and he still couldn't help but feel numb.
It feels like rubbing your bare hands on the concrete floor.
"My father-in-law is very skilled!"
Zhou An came to pat himself on the back, he saw the stitches, and now he was coaxing Grandpa Wei, so he pointed at Grandpa Wei. Otherwise, after killing so many people, he would not be able to hold a small general banner.
With Eunuch Wei in the way, it was also an order to take 10,000 steps back.
"It's okay."
Liangchen also felt that his skills were getting stronger, although he had not been systematically trained, but the knife shot just now was really as fast as lightning. After clapping his hands and relieving the discomfort on his hands, he motioned to Zhou An to quickly seal the well.
A few Zhengding soldiers struggled to move two large stone slabs, and the wellhead was blocked as soon as it was banged.
There is no need to plug it with other things, for for such a long time, it is impossible for the people in the well to regenerate it.
Whether there are innocent people among the people killed today or not, the good minister does not want to think about it.
Because, if you don't do it well, it's really possible that there are some sins that don't lead to death.
Moreover, several of the executed disciples of the Three Yuan Guan were younger than Liangchen.
From the perspective of a previous life, he is a minor.
Under the law of the past life, juvenile offenders are protected, but victims are not.
So, this is an evil law.
Good ministers must change the evil law. In his opinion, the younger the offender, the heavier the punishment.
If you do evil at a young age, you can't do it without heavy punishment, and you don't know the crime if you don't punish it severely.
If you spare them, you will do more evil.
It is also unfair to the victims to spare them.
……..
When he came out of the courtyard, he saw the women kneeling in front of him again.
Silent sobbing is more heartbreaking than crying.
Liangchen wanted to say that I had avenged you, but in the end I was silent.
At this time, it is useless to say anything, the damage has already happened.
In the end, Liangchen instructed Zhou An to send them to send troops to Cangzhou Jiaozhizhou Yamen to send them back to their hometowns.
"Tell Cangzhou that these women were abducted by Sanyuanguan to do hard labor, and if the Cangzhou Yamen talk nonsense, our family will definitely not spare them."
Liangchen specially told Zhou An, and Zhou An understood that Father-in-law Wei pitied these women and wanted to save their reputation. Otherwise, if it is truthful, I am afraid that most of them will have to find a short-term sight after returning to their hometown.
At present, the people's customs are open, but they are only economically developed areas, such as Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Beijing and other places, and the rest of the places are relatively conservative. Poorer places still value the chastity of women.
If you don't know, if you know, the religion kills.
Liangchen didn't want to save people with his front foot, but these poor women forced their family to death with their back foot.
"My father-in-law is really a good man!"
Zhou An was moved, this time there was some sincerity. Like him, he didn't expect that. In the end, he is a eunuch, a yin and yang person, and he is careful.
Liangchen waved his hand, and asked Zhou An to ask those women if they knew where the hometown of the dead four women was, and if so, they would melt, pick up the bones and bring them back. If you don't know, you will be buried in the mountains behind the view. Give some money to the nearby villagers and let them take care of it.
Zhou An was busy one by one and took people to do it.
Song Zhutou and several arresters from Suning's torture room did not dare to enter the courtyard to watch the execution, and they did not get involved in this matter from the beginning, because they were afraid that they would cause a big disaster.
Dozens of people were executed without going through the government or the judicial department, and if you want to say that the nature is vile, it is no less serious than the matter of the three-yuan criminal. Mingzhe protects himself, even if he hates the evil deeds of the three-element view, Song Zhutou categorically does not dare to kill people directly.
Fortunately, Gonggong Wei was considerate of them, and did not force these trappers to do it, but gave five taels of silver to each person.
This money doesn't look like a seal.
Because, Grandpa Wei didn't care if the matter would get out at all.
Liangchen saw Song catching them, and ignored them, only asked Xiao Tian to lead people to carry out the money they had found. After looking at the boxes, I picked five large boxes and asked Oda to load the truck.
"Send these boxes to Beijing immediately and hand them over to Jiaziku in the imperial city."
Entering Beijing with these boxes of gold and silver was a statement written by a good minister, and the recipient was Wanli.
The letter is as simple as before, and the events of the three-element view are written truthfully in the form of vernacular, without the slightest exaggeration or sensationalism.
However, for the grief and indignation in his heart, Liangchen still wrote a few more words.
At the end of the letter, there was a sentence - "The slave and maid thought that the protection of women was related to the plan of the imperial court, and the life and maintenance of women was the foundation of the society. It seems that the sins of the three-element view are clearly bad for the foundation of our country, and not killing them is not enough to anger the people. ”
It's almost like saying that women can hold up half the sky.
These words are not for Wanli, but for the concubine.
Of course, the letter also inevitably said that if Your Majesty thinks that what the slave and maid have done is wrong, or has no right to do so, the slave and maid will tie herself up and personally go to Your Majesty to ask for guilt.
Your Majesty really wants to do this, and the good minister will be the first to slip away.
Seeing a few boxes of gold and silver get into the car, Liangchen was actually very distressed. These boxes of gold and silver add up to at least five thousand taels, so they were given to Wanli, and it was no wonder that he was not distressed.
can be distressed, Wanli's endorsement is much more important than these five thousand taels.
Without the execution of more than 60 people by the government at once, if the Wei eunuchs, who had no law enforcement powers, did not have the endorsement of the emperor, this big case would definitely cause trouble in the three law divisions.
With Wanli's endorsement, there is not so much trouble, and Gao Huai led his troops to cross into Beijing with him, which is more scary than this.
The women accepted the arrangement of the good ministers, and Zhou An sent a few soldiers to send them to the state. The four dead were buried in the back mountain, and after everything was done, it was already noon.
In the ready-made kitchen in Guanli, he got some food casually, and Liangchen sat down to count the stacks of land deeds, and the more he counted, the more frightened he became. The land deed shows that the land owned by Sanyuanguan is not only in Sanwan, but also in other places, and even in neighboring counties, with a total of three or four thousand acres, most of which are high-quality fields.
How to dispose of these lands, Liangchen hesitated a little, and in the end, he gritted his teeth and ordered people to send these land deeds to Yanshan County, but he didn't dare to swallow them.
The reason is that it is impossible for him to stay in Yanshan County, so there is no way to operate these lands to collect rent. The procedures for taking over the land are annoying, and it is not possible to get it done in a day or two, and it will take at least half a year just to deal with the government and the tenant farmers. The premise is that the government has to cooperate 100%, and no one is blushing. This is obviously impossible.
It is even more unrealistic to divide the land to the tenant farmers, and the good ministers are not aware of the fact that they are now engaged in the matter of fighting the local tyrants and dividing the land. In that case, it's no different from looking for death. It looks like it's just a matter of a few thousand acres of land, but if you really want to do it, you are the enemy of the gentry of the world. The wise do not do it.
It was also not feasible to give it to the Zhengding soldiers, so it was the only and wisest choice to give this windfall to the local government.
This is not only a matter of forbearance and profit, but also a signal, a signal from his father-in-law Wei to the Yanshan County place.
He believed that as long as Yanshan County was not too stupid, he should understand the meaning of his father-in-law Wei's move.
The place is harmonious, and the emperor is also harmonious, and he Wei Gonggong is not afraid to spread this matter.
If Yanshan County is a lovely person, he Wei Gonggong doesn't mind being a model of anti-violence and peace.
People are killed, money is earned, and future affairs are done, but the purpose of coming is not accomplished.
Song Zhutou, who was the first to realize that the case was not over, walked over cautiously and asked in a low voice, "Father-in-law, what about Tan Qianniu?" ”
Liangchen asked Zhao Ming, and the other party didn't know where Tan Qianniu had gone now.
"If you can run, the monk can't run away from the temple, go back!" Liangchen snorted.
Song Zhutou was stunned: "What are you going to do when you go back?" ”
"Arrest his father and mother, arrest his wife and children, our family wants to see if he shows up." The good minister's eyes showed a fierce light.
"Huh?" Song Zhutou was startled, and said in a lost voice, "Father-in-law, Da Ming Law, Tan Niu Qianfei is a great rebellion, and it will not be a disaster for his wife and children." ”
"Are you talking to our family about the Great Ming Law?" Liangchen glanced at Song Zhutou, and his eyes were a little cold.
"Don't dare, don't dare." Song Zhutou was terrified.
"It's better if you don't dare." Liangchen raised his hand slightly, "You go and catch it immediately!" ”
"This..."
Song Zhu's scalp was numb, how dare he just arrest Tan Qianniu's parents, wife and children, for the sake of it, "Father-in-law, do you have to send a document from the county to arrest people if you give a catcher, otherwise..."
"Want to catch a strip?" Liangchen waved his hand impatiently, and motioned for Oda to take pen and ink, "Let's write one for you." ”
