Zhang Dai took action, but no matter how he shouted injustice, the investigation of the case has been going on, according to Zhang Dai's knowledge, even the original bitter master, the little widow who was almost raped and still stayed in the imperial capital to open a tofu shop regardless of her face, was also found and summoned.

Zhang Dai couldn't sit still, this was clearly to overturn the case, this was someone disrupting the judiciary, in fact, he didn't realize it, at least, compared to the chaotic imperial capital in his original mind, he now at least thinks that there is some order.

suddenly remembered several major cases in the early Ming Dynasty, which were all Zhu Yuanzhang's actions to exclude dissidents through the case, but it cannot be denied that the officials themselves are indeed unclean.

Zhang Dai decided to hide himself and not to implicate his family, which is also the favorite of scholars, and they call it Mingzhe to protect his life.

At this time, the material reserves of the imperial capital are the best in the world, and Zhang Dai is not ambiguous, so he specially bought a set of imperial capital-style clothes for his subordinates, mixed them in the crowd, and went to the tofu workshop to have a look.

After waiting for a long time, the reply was very simple, the tofu shop had been closed, but he met the young man he met in the court last time on the road, and the young man seemed to be interviewing the case, and was catching the neighbors to ask about the understanding of the case.

Zhang Dai is about to cry, it's really a tribulation to see the truth, at this time, or have been in school, literate people know the severity, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the first good place, how can there be such a bad case, hundreds of years of imperial capital of the remaining conscientious readers, must not ignore this.

He ignored that the other party was a minion of the imperial capital's forces, and only thought that since he was literate and hyphenated, he was naturally a scholar.

Confucianism has always had the habit of demanding others with high standards and low standards for oneself, if this happened in a local area, it would naturally be condemned in a whisper, and then help cover it up, so that the mud legs could not let the mud legs find out that the old man was actually so dirty and incompetent in his bones, but the imperial capital was different.

The imperial capital as the "first good place", naturally also played a role in guidance and education, although this role has not been realized for many years, but in general, it can still be scrutinized, walking is a small number of people with high morality, naturally have the qualification of power, and under the leadership of these people, the country can naturally embark on a broad road of development, and the rule of three generations is not a problem.

Of course, how dirty and disorderly the imperial capital was, Zhang Dai didn't care, anyway, he lived in the south of the Yangtze River with the manor scenery, and people who didn't produce naturally admired those things that were out of reality, just like the life of the donkey friends praised by the little whites in later generations, the natural scenery, and the criticism of modern society, but they were required to live in the countryside, but they couldn't even do without toilet paper and pure water.

Similarly, people like Zhang Dai, although they still feel uncomfortable in the imperial capital, they are beginning to be inseparable from everything, not to mention anything else, this flush toilet is fantastic, clean and comfortable.

Eager to "make big news", he also received cautious reports that he had recently begun to retry the gambler's rape attempted murder case.

Of course, the purpose is to report more under the new system, to be cautious and pay attention to homicide cases, never let go of a bad person, and not wronged a good person, but the point is that the elders' intentions are all good, they don't have so many social connections, so it doesn't matter who they cover for, as for collecting black money......

I'm sorry, but the elders are thicker than you when they pluck a single hair.

At present, the imperial capital is such a political situation, let's say it is backward, all kinds of ideas are basically advanced, and those revolutionaries in the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries saw it and cried and said that this is heaven.

Not only in terms of technology, but also in terms of working hours, medical security, etc., all aspects of the lead, this is naturally a matter of personal habits of the elders.

But let's say he's advanced, the elders are already thinking about implanting chips in the human body, what do you think is the situation?

This is the pattern problem of the elders, it is not big from the beginning, counting on them from the beginning of the stars and the sea to think about occupying a universe and expanding outward, thinking too much, who can expect that the guys who were originally ordinary people would have political ambitions from the beginning? That all needs to be cultivated a little bit, Cao Mengde didn't want to be the king of Wei from the beginning, and he could be satisfied with a general who conquered the west.

Of course, at present, the time point has entered the Republic of China 3 years, and many elders, with the help of the joy of being sought after and ordered at will, have begun to study how to expand the power in their hands, and they have gradually put away the yearning for the Republic of Europastan, the Republic of Britannia, and the Republic of Germany, after all, those cities in this era are just a pile of dungholes, and finally begin to truly understand the power of what they have in their hands.

In the crossing, there are often the existence of a horseman for a certain eldest lady with a big killing weapon, but that is, the elders who really realize that their weapons can in fact directly rule everything, and there is no need for Xu Hao to play Tai Chi there, are already clamoring for the world of martial arts and the sea of stars.

Of course, at present, on the entire earth, the imperial capital almost has the only light.

The mountains came quickly.

He looks very thin, but in fact he is a long-distance runner, and he is constantly paying attention to the big fish in his mind, Zhang Dai, in fact, the imperial capital's halls secretly have their informants, of course, it is not that type of intelligence, the elders don't care much about a group of guys who don't know the channels of arms, but gossip informants.

At present, there is nothing more satisfying to the elders than to fight the reputation of the old-fashioned magnates, old-style landlords, and old-style merchants, although in essence the elders are only supported by Australian gold, and their creations in the past few years have actually not been able to compensate for what they have gained according to the standards of later generations, but at least they have survived.

If it is in Jiangnan, the identity gap between the two people, it is necessary to wait for several layers of reports, and find ways to have such an interview opportunity, but now Zhang Dai has a request for others, and his assumed identity is an ordinary rich businessman, so he naturally does not dare to take Qiao.

According to the colleagues of the association, these reporters said privately that they would not charge any money for their feet at all, and they would not charge any money for tea, but at the same time, they were very unkind to the public office, and some people made mistakes in their hands, and they refused to withdraw their articles no matter how much they were tempted.

Later, I figured it out, at most, these people just write your mistakes on paper and spread them everywhere, be careful, after all, they are all official characters, people can write if they want to, and if you can't afford to provoke them, try to be careful.

The journalist group, a powerful group that was raised and raised by the elders as right-hand men, has finally begun to form its own combat system and influence, and is tearing its teeth at the traditional forces.

Why is a journalist the uncrowned king?

As long as it adheres to principled reporting, it must fight against some kind of immoral and unfair situation, and any country must always have a certain degree of control over the police force, and it is not allowed to use the police force at will according to the wind and rain, which is called abuse of law enforcement.

And the journalists just added to this.

This is as if the emperors in the early Ming Dynasty found that the civil official group was becoming more and more colluded, and the orders you sent down had already been taken as instructions when they reached the cabinet, and then they would be turned into requests by Lord Shangshu, and then turned into suggestions by the governor's yamen, and finally when they were conveyed to the prefectures and counties, it had become an inquiry, and those county officials could naturally gather the local landlords, saying that the emperor was going to marry a little wife, and you should pay the money one by one, and the landlords would pass on their losses to the peasants......

You go to check? Who to send? Originally, as a means of checks and balances, the founding nobles who could threaten the status of civil officials basically burped in the civil fort, and there was nothing left.

You send civil officials over, okay, before the person arrives, people have a psychological number, this person is a jinshi of such and such a year, and my fellow countryman is the same year, I and the nephew of the seventh uncle are classmates, everyone is a scholar, they are all their own people, take care of each other.

Once your subordinate boss also learns this trick, well, there are mistakes you carry, and you take the credit, so everyone doesn't learn to do things, first learn to be a man, learn how to make other achievements into their own, so in the long run, the people who pay and build are killed and destroyed, and the Confucian masters who can be people and kill people begin to get everything.

So as we all know, the Ming Emperor chose the eunuch group as his help.

Of course, for the elders, the journalist community is a double-edged sword.

At this time, Shan Jidao did not have the idea of pointing the finger at his life-saving benefactor and all the benefactors, in fact, as the source of progress in this era, the imperial capital itself has the most terrible weapon in the world, justice.

"Hello, Mr. Su, this time it's a case again, and you are very concerned about the security of the imperial capital."

Zhang Dai's pseudonym is Suzhou and Hangzhou, but it is named after the place where he often moves, which is naturally very suitable, but when he sees this person at this time, he only has a card-style name post, and he doesn't even write about his master's background, so he doesn't write it, he doesn't need to ask, he is naturally a person from the new school in the imperial capital.

"Oh, the contemptible man has been in business all year round, but he has studied these criminal matters a little, so I have taken a look at them."

"Okay, then I will make a record of my interview with you next, and as for the recent case of the suspect Li Baibai to be executed in the imperial capital, which is remanded for retrial, what do you think?"

"This ...... As far as I am concerned, God has the virtue of a good life, but this person is extremely vicious, whether it is indecent to women and children, or killing people on the spot, he should set an example, otherwise, how can others rest assured. ”

"Ahem, Mr. Su, please note that criminal suspects are different from criminals, according to the principle of presumption of innocence, unless proven guilty by trial, the criminal suspect is innocent, although Li Baibai was originally sentenced to death, but now since he has been remanded for retrial, he is still a criminal suspect, so since he is a suspect, he can be considered innocent for the time being."

Zhang Daiqi said: "What is the presumption of innocence? In fact, his knowledge is not bad, these four words are not difficult to understand, even if they are foreign, but after a little reading, I already know what it means.

But it's weird, isn't it.

Shan Jidao said: "The presumption of innocence means that before the judge decides, a person cannot be called a criminal, and his protection cannot be severed, and a minimum of dignity is given. ”

Zhang Dai nodded at the beginning, then thought of something, and said, "Isn't it troublesome to try the case like this?" ”

Shan Jidao thought for a while and said, "If the quality of the judge is not high, it will be difficult. ”

Zhang Dai quickly understood what this meant, from the bottom of his heart, it was good, although the implementation was not optimistic, but if the Confucian crime in the future can also be said to be presumed innocent, and then it will be turned into a big thing and a small matter, then it will be very good.

But he felt it more and more intensely, and said: "What if it is those scoundrels in the market, if you steal chickens and dogs, it will endanger the market." ”

Shan Jidao said: "Then follow the procedure, and after you get the human and material evidence, you can do it." ”

Zhang Dai shook his head, this kind of thing is a public outrage, and the evidence is conclusive, as long as it is not the incompetent government of Thailand, it can always be handled.

"If there is a scoundrel who touches porcelain and cheats, steals and robs, but he will not admit his guilt."

Shan Jidao said: "Convictions without testimony, naturally there is evidence waiting for them." ”

Zhang Dai said: "Isn't that something that can be judged for a long time, not a day or two." ”

Shan Jidao thought for a while and said, "But whenever there is a dispute, it always takes a lot of time. ”

Zhang Dai said: "Can't you just torture it, under Miki, how can there be anyone who doesn't confess." ”

Shan Jidao said: "There is no policy for this suspected crime, and what we are prepared for is to torture them, torture them into tricks, and there are officials who collude to murder good people." ”

In Shanjidao's memory, the government naturally said that you were a criminal when they saw you, and then they directly collected money and took it away.

Zhang Dai has been silent for a long time, not allowed to beat people, it seems to be good governance, but for Zhang Dai, conscience and morality are things that are talked about, only power and oneself are true, originally the gentleman and the show can also hold their heads high in front of the government, every time the county official arrives, his Zhang family is always the first to be sent to the post, and he waits carefully, the reason is naturally that his family is deep-rooted.

Occasionally, the Zhang family is temporarily unable to make a move for the tenants who resist rent or really can't pay the rent, for various reasons, such as someone's death day and birthday, it is not good to see blood, then they will generally give a notice, in fact, it is to call a subordinate who has been ordered to go to the county government to say a word, without going through the county order, the officials go directly to the door, and directly arrest them back to the street for various reasons, and the person will die directly.

For example, our Lord Li Zicheng was sued by Ai Juren to the Mizhi County Ya because he couldn't pay the debts of Ai Zhao, and the county ordered Yan Zibin to swim him in the city and put him to death......

In the Ming Dynasty, this was as common as breathing.
