When Cui Shihong bought the depression of Pingkangfang, everyone laughed at him. When he planted a few flags, let the children of the city play a game of pilling, and filled the depression at an almost negligible cost, the crowd turned to admire him.

Just when everyone thought he was very shrewd, they were surprised to see that Cui Shihong did not tamp the filled depression, but dug it again, and dug deeper than the original, like digging a well.

The citizens of Chang'an were very puzzled, did not the effort of letting the children throw pills before in vain? Where is his shrewdness?

The neighbors in the neighborhood watched Cui Shihong's land change every day as if watching a big play, and there was no shortage of people who secretly discussed and ridiculed.

Some couldn't help but go to Cui Shihong to find out, but Cui Shihong always smiled and didn't say anything, or replied with a smile: "You will understand in a few days." ”

People had to wait patiently, seeing that the wells were increasing one by one on the open space of several acres wide, and then saw a lot of steel bars being transported, large and small, and people were even more curious, why did they bring in steel? Then I saw a lot of cement and sand and gravel being shipped.

Someone couldn't help but ask Cui Shihong, but this guy still laughed and didn't say anything. It makes everyone's hearts tickle like cat scratches, and I can't help but bypass it every day.

On this day, I saw the laborers on the construction site, and the steel bars were tied into cylindrical "iron cages", and then put them into deep wells, and then mixed with cement and sand and gravel to mix into slurry and pour into deep wells.

The people in Chang'an City have never seen this kind of thing, and they are curious, and the periphery of the construction site is impassable, if it were not for the fact that people are arguing about the "presumption of innocence" and "presumption of guilt", it is estimated that there are more people who come to watch.

After the deep well was filled, I saw the craftsmen using wooden planks to nail out square pillar frames, stairs and floor slabs, and for a while, the construction site was densely packed with wooden poles for load-bearing. Let people see the clouds and mountains and fog cover, I don't know why.

The more this is the case, the more people come to see the freshness, and watching the changes on this construction site every day has gradually become one of the reserved programs for the people of Chang'an City.

In the court, after discussing the plan for water and soil management in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, Qin Mu immediately issued an edict, ordering the agricultural code to set up a forestry patrol department to implement the inspection and supervision tasks layer by layer, and go directly to the Lizheng of each village. At the same time, officials were sent down to put up signs to vigorously publicize the laws and regulations to protect the ecology and their importance.

After the matter came to an end, Qin Mucai said to the ministers of the palace: "From the murder case in Linyao Village, it can be seen that officials at all levels have very poor means of investigating the scene of the murder and lack professionalism, so that a large number of useful clues have been missed, so that the real murderer can get away with it, and the innocent people have suffered injustice.

The life and death of the prisoner are the same. It's a big deal. Historically, when local officials took office, their first priority was to record prisoners, clean up prisons, and redress grievances and punish the culprits. If it is not so insufficient, it will be a bright future in the world.

However, looking at the officials of the prefectures and counties of Daqin, they can even be said to know nothing about investigating and arresting the murderers, relying on such officials. How can the people complain and clear the prison? Every time I think about it, I can't help but worry.

I intend to use books such as "The Collection of Grievances" as teaching materials. Then select some people with rich experience in the investigation of murder as teachers across the country, and then let each county select at least two people to Nanjing for training, and after passing the examination, change their names to forensic doctors, so that they can be responsible for the investigation of the scene of the murder. What do you think, ministers? ”

Sima An immediately said: "As His Majesty said, the life and death of the prisoner are really a serious matter, and you must not be careful. The minister thought that His Majesty should do this. It's just that Daqin has a vast territory and many prefectures and counties, such as Ganzhou and other places, and it takes a long time to rush to Nanjing, so I think that it can be divided into several points, and set up some more training points in Nanjing, Beijing, Xijing, and even some provinces, which can greatly save the time of going back and forth on the road and speed up the progress of training. ”

As soon as Sima An spoke, he not only fully supported Qin Mu's proposal, but also supplemented a more perfect plan, Qin Mu was quite satisfied and nodded frequently. Li Yuan, Gu Junen and others naturally did not object anymore.

Only Yang Chao, the right attendant of the household department, groaned again, he roughly calculated, Daqin currently has more than 1,500 counties, plus the state and government levels also need to be trained, the total number of people to be trained is nearly 10,000, if a person's training fee is calculated according to ten dragon coins, it is also a large expense, not to mention ten dragon coins may not be enough.

Qin Mu opened his mouth and said: "Yang Qing, there is no need to calculate, this is a matter related to the world's prisons, even if it costs 100,000 dragon coins, this money must be allocated by the household department." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Okay, since the ministers have no objection, I will ask Li Qing to draft a holy decree when I go back, and send it back to the Nanjing Punishment Department to handle it immediately after I use the seal."

Li Yuan hurriedly replied: "The minister obeys the order." ”

At this time, Qin Mucai said casually: "I heard that in Chang'an, there is a heated discussion about the presumption of guilt and the presumption of innocence, I don't know what the ministers think of this?" ”

Sima An immediately lowered his eyelids, obviously not going to speak first, he had already thought through this matter, this was clearly a bureau laid by the emperor, from a series of things these days, he had already guessed that the bureau of the emperor's cloth was not small, and he really didn't want to comment until he thoroughly understood the mystery.

The entire Great Qin, now he is undoubtedly the most eye-catching, the founding minister, the first assistant, if the emperor has any thoughts, he is the first to bear the brunt, therefore, now he not only tries to cooperate with the emperor's various policies, but also carefully step by step, like walking on thin ice.

Wei Yuan, the right attendant of the Ministry of Works, said: "Your Majesty, the so-called presumption of innocence, the minister thinks that it cannot be taken seriously, if this is the case, I am afraid that a large number of cases will not be solved in various places, which will inevitably lead to the boiling of public resentment, and the credibility of the imperial court will decline sharply." ”

Qin Mu said noncommittally: "Take the case of Linyao Village, the current evidence is not enough to determine Yang Guan's guilt, according to Wei Qing's meaning, and regardless of it, as long as Yang Guan pleads guilty under the heavy punishment, he can be convicted, and the anger of the people is enough, right?" ”

"That's not what this minister meant."

"Oh? Then Yang Qing said what he meant. ”

"Minister"

"I think that whether a person is guilty or not should be determined by evidence, by the law; It shouldn't be up to the officials, not by the torture, do you think so? ”

"My Emperor Shengming!" The ministers of the palace chimed in. Wei Yuan's encounter made everyone reluctant to speak again.

Qin Mu said eloquently: "The people are hotly discussed, and those who are kings must not care about their concerns, and those who are courtiers must not ignore public opinion. Wei Qing is worried that the presumption of innocence will greatly reduce the rate of solving cases, this is just a technical matter, and improving the ability to investigate is Qin Mu said this, and paused before continuing, "In this way, the ministers should go back and think about it first, and then there is a presumption of guilt and a presumption of innocence, which is better or worse, and give me a note in three days, today's court meeting, that's it." ”

On the same day, Qin Mu handed over the fingerprint comparison results extracted from the dagger with Yang Guan's fingerprint to Yu Chengchan and asked him to open the court again. Yu Chenglong used fingerprints as evidence to announce that Yang Guanfei was the real murderer of Xia Niang and was acquitted in court.

This move not only made Guan Pei, the magistrate of Xia County, panic, but also set off a new round of heated discussions in the community, and those who originally supported the presumption of guilt changed their attitudes and supported the presumption of innocence instead.

From the Yang Guan case, it is clear to people that if the case is judged according to the thinking of the presumption of guilt, the possibility of Yang Guan being wronged will be greatly increased.

Local officials have preconceived notions that Yang Guan is the murderer, and they will unconsciously ignore many clues, which not only allows the real murderer to go unpunished, but also allows innocent people to suffer great wrongs.

If the presumption of innocence is followed, the officials must look for more evidence to prove that the person was killed by Yang Guan before he can be convicted, and if he cannot find evidence, he can only release the person.

A living example is in front of us, and the heated discussion in Chang'an is getting louder and louder, and it is rapidly spreading outward, and the northwest states and counties have also begun to discuss endlessly.

At this time, Qin Mu still held on to the real culprit and did not announce it, this was to create a kind of suspense, and only by retaining some suspense would people be more willing to discuss this matter.

Qin Mu knew in his heart that some things could not be rushed, and they had to be done step by step, and with public opinion as the foundation, some things could be implemented. On the one hand, while secretly promoting this trend, he was not idle, and began to prepare for the construction of the Polytechnic Institute.

Sima An, it's not good for you to name your son, you have to give him the word "Kai", isn't it clear that I want him to be a gunman!
