Bury the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 331 Exterminating the Gate ([-])

When Jianyi entered the customs, Grand Master Qian Qianyi came. The water was too cold and his scalp itched.

Now that he is here with Master Qian, he has naturally perfectly inherited Qian Qianyi's ability to adapt to the wind, and when he saw that the limelight was not right, Master Qian directly admitted all the crimes.

And Master Li, who was the successor of the Donglin gentleman, and Master Zhang, the descendant of Fushe, were not to be outdone, and immediately admitted their crimes cleanly.

Of course, the reason why Master Qian, Master Li, and Master Zhang admitted so simply was because Uncle Liu and Steward Qian put all the responsibilities on Liu Dashan. Master Li and Master Zhang are charged with relatively minor crimes.

If it was said that there was no Liu Dashan who was pushed forward, then Master Qian, Master Li, and Master Zhang would never dare to admit it.

You know, those crimes on Liu Dashan's body are enough to punish Liu Dashan's family and even implicate the nine clans, while Master Qian, Master Li, and Master Zhang may only need to die.

This is tantamount to a very simple multiple-choice question. The first option is to take the initiative to admit mistakes and beat Liu Dashan to death. Accompanied by Mr. Liu Dashan, the whole family died and was even killed by the nine clans.

And after Mr. Qian, Mr. Li, and Mr. Zhang all admitted their crimes, and said that Uncle Liu and Steward Qian were not talking nonsense, and that everything was instigated by Mr. Liu Dashan, Mr. Liu Dashan, who was already paralyzed on the ground, Totally desperate.

Jiang Xinlong felt very refreshed at the moment, he looked at Liu Dashan with a sneer and said, "Liu Dashan, what else do you have to say?"

Without waiting for Mr. Liu Dashan to answer, Jiang Xinlong looked at the crowd of onlookers and said, "Fathers and folks, today's public trial of Mr. Liu Dashan, everyone has seen and heard it with their own eyes."

"Whether it is the magistrate's yamen, the inspection of the censor's yamen, the inspection of the censor's yamen, or the farmers' association or the Jinyiwei, none of them have imposed even the slightest punishment on him, Liu Dashan, let alone poured dirt on him. water."

"All the things, one after another, were all done by him, Liu Dashan. Not only Liu Erbo and Qian Butler can testify, but even Master Qian, Master Li, and Master Zhang are willing to act as witnesses. witness."

"I think, there should be no master who is willing to risk his wealth and life to cooperate with the government to perform such a play, right?"

After Jiang Xinlong's voice fell, the surrounding people couldn't help but nodded.

Indeed, Mr. Qian, Mr. Li, and Mr. Zhang are all famous people. If you want to talk about how they are cheated and kidnapped, and how they take advantage of their own families, the common people will not doubt it at all, but if you want to say that they would rather He gave up his own life to cooperate with the government to act, just to kill Liu Dashan's family, but none of the common people would believe it.

Jiang Xinlong then said to Mr. Liu Dashan: "Now the matter is clear and the evidence is conclusive. Mr. Liu Dashan, do you plead guilty? Or not?"

Liu Dashan suddenly laughed, and said: "How about pleading guilty? So what if you don't plead guilty? Your government has the final say on the left and right. If you say that I, Liu, are guilty, then I, Liu, is guilty."

This time, not only Jiang Xinlong and other officials were stunned, but even the crowd of people watching were stunned.

Things have come to this point, he, Liu Dashan, still thinks that he is innocent, and that all the crimes were imposed on him by the government?

After being stunned for a while, the crowd of onlookers couldn't bear it anymore, especially the businessman who had been explaining the evil deeds of Mr. Liu Dashan to the surrounding people, even took out a few copper coins from his pocket neatly, He smashed his head and face at Liu Dashan: "I'm a girl! Why do you have the face to talk nonsense here!"

And after the businessman took the lead in smashing things, the surrounding people also threw the things in their hands at Mr. Liu Dashan.

Of course, there are no common people throwing vegetable leaves and rotten eggs at people like in movies and TV dramas. After all, they are all things bought with money, and they are reluctant to throw them at Mr. Liu Dashan like this.

So these common people used clods and stones picked up from the ground at random—ask, which one would hurt more if you hit Mr. Liu Dashan with a clod or a stone?Answer, Liu Dashan is more painful.

Especially those strangely shaped stones, one of them might have some sharp edges and corners, it is so easy to smash people's scalps.

And those yamen servants who were supposed to hold back the common people were all born and bred in Songjiang Mansion. They already hated Liu Dashan so much in their hearts, how could they stop the common people at this time?

Therefore, Liu Dashan screamed at Bian Lian soon after being smashed, and his body was even more bruised and purple.

It wasn't until Liu Dashan's head was broken and bleeding that Jiang Xinlong, the prefect of Songjiang Prefecture, patted the gavel and shouted: "Quiet! Quiet!"

After the crowd of onlookers gradually calmed down, Jiang Xinlong looked at Liu Dashan again and said: "Liu Dashan, have you seen it all?"

"You opened a baby education hall, sent those children to Jianyi sticky sticks, opened a smoke house, and entrapped the people of Songjiang Prefecture, and now you have run a lace tabloid to edit the emperor, edit the imperial court, and discuss the government affairs indiscriminately. How can you escape without admitting to each evil deed?"

Speaking of this, Jiang Xinlong turned his head to discuss with the officials and gentlemen of the inspecting censor's yamen, the Ducha censor's yamen, the peasant association, and the criminal department, and then said to Liu Dashan humanely: "Now, the Ducha censor Shi Yamen is here to announce the crimes against you, Liu Dashan and others."

The official of Ducha Yushi Yamen stood up, coughed his throat, and said loudly: "The criminal Liu Xin first worked for the Jianyi sticky stick, and after Qutong Osman, he opened a smoking den to harm the people and privately The crimes of running a newspaper and publishing saints and other crimes are clear and convincing. According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, the three clans of Liuxin were sentenced to death. In addition, within three generations of the nine clans, they were not allowed to be officials, join the army, or be teachers."

"Criminals Qian Zhili, Li Jingzu, and Zhang Chengzong ran private newspapers, edited sages, and talked about government affairs indiscriminately. The facts are clear and the evidence is solid. According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, Qian Zhili, Li Jingzu, and Zhang Jingzong were sentenced to death, and the other three families were not allowed within three generations. As an official, you cannot join the army or be a teacher."

"According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, the case file will be sealed and stored in Beijing, and submitted to the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Ministry of Criminal Justice for review and execution after approval."

After the verdict was pronounced, the Ducha Yushi looked at Mr. Liu Dashan, Mr. Qian, Mr. Li and Mr. Zhang, and said loudly: "The verdict has been pronounced, do you and the other four have any objections? If not, you can wait until the case is closed." Apply for a review."

"There are two opportunities for review. The first review will be reviewed by the Metropolitan Procuratorate in the capital. If you are still not satisfied, you can apply for the second review. At that time, the four departments of Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Yushitai will Yamen review."

"Have you heard everything clearly? Are you not convinced?"

After Ducha Yushi's voice fell, Master Qian, Master Li, and Master Zhang looked at each other and replied bluntly: "Master Bing, the villain knows that he deserves to die, plead guilty, no Apply for a review."

Who is so stupid, Liu Dashan's whole family and even the three clans are going to die, and the nine clans are also completely implicated, but his own family is just an extermination - the whole family is dead, the clan is saved after all, and it only implicates the three clans and three generations Not being allowed to be an official, join the army, or be a teacher. Compared with Liu Dashan's punishment, I don't know how many times lighter. What is there to be dissatisfied with?
Besides, the so-called ability to apply for review may be a good thing for those mud-legged people, but it is definitely not a good thing for all the sages and gentry in the country—if the Ministry of Criminal Affairs and Dali The temple suspects that the punishment is too light, and if it is a little more severe, wouldn't it be completely ruined?

It was precisely because of this that Master Qian, Master Li, and Master Zhang pleaded guilty and stated that they would not apply for a review.

It's just that in this way, the pressure is all on Liu Xin and Liu Dashan.

If Mr. Qian, Mr. Li, and Mr. Zhang all resisted and pleaded not guilty, then today's public trial will be regarded as a conviction.

An extra day counts as a day.

However, Master Qian, Master Li, and Master Zhang, the three bastards, simply admitted the crime of killing the whole family. If he applied for a review again, wouldn't he appear to be "ignorant"?
As the saying goes, compare your heart with your heart, Liu Dashan feels that if he is an official of Dali Temple or the Ministry of Criminal Justice, if he encounters such a "ignorant" thorn, he will definitely be punished later, and for the more sensible Master Qian With Master Li, Master Zhang and the others, maybe the punishment will be reduced some more.

In this way, wouldn't his act of applying for a re-examination not only cause trouble for himself, but also make wedding dresses for those three bastards?

Thinking of this, Liu Dashan simply admitted that he was guilty of all crimes, and he also expressed that he would not apply for a review.

Now, it was the turn of Master Qian, Master Li, and Master Zhang to be dumbfounded again—in fact, Master Qian and the other three readily pleaded guilty. Reviewed it...

Anyway, these few well-known sages and gentry in Songjiang Mansion are not good people, they are plotting against each other.

However, the mutual calculation between Mr. Liu Dashan and Mr. Qian and others took on a different meaning in the eyes of the crowd of onlookers.

Look, the government didn't torture at all, and even a little punishment was useless. They just refuted Mr. Liu Dashan and Mr. Qian by listing evidence of guilt, and Mr. Liu Dashan and Mr. Qian also pleaded guilty one after another. This shows what?
This clearly shows that Liu Dashan and his crimes are all true!And they sure as hell!

As for Liu Dashan, they should be damned, which naturally means that the things they arranged for the emperor and the court are all fake, and they are all for the purpose of fooling the common people!

Thinking of this, the crowd of onlookers immediately picked up stones or clods from the ground, and threw them at Liu Dashan and others again.

And Liu Dashan is indeed a ruthless person.

Even though his face was covered in blood, Liu Dashan still sneered and said to Mr. Qian, Mr. Li, and Mr. Zhang: "You want me to apply for a review so that I can make wedding dresses for you? Go dream! I'm out of luck, you guys A few of you have to accompany me too!"

However, what Liu Dashan did not expect was that Master Qian, Master Li, and Master Zhang ignored Liu Dashan's nonsense.

On the contrary, the faces of the three of them were full of mockery towards Liu Dashan—although the big guys had to die, but my family only died of one family, while Liu Dashan's family had to die of three clans, who was more unlucky ?

Besides, although Liu Dashan had more influence when Jianyi was in power, he was a latecomer after all, and he was not originally in the circle of sages and gentry. How can those who started later understand?

For example, clan punishment.

It's also the Zhu clan, the clan of Liu Dashan's family is the real death of the whole family, but the old village sages and gentry like Master Qian are just the death of the whole family on the surface-as the country sages, Who doesn't have an illegitimate child yet?

Thinking that there is still a fire in their own family, but Liu Dashan's family is going to be completely ruined, Master Qian and others feel better, and Master Li even has the mood to mock Liu Dashan: "I heard that Liu Dashan has learned from the past and the present. The great good man's arithmetic must also be excellent, and he must be able to calculate the gap between the first clan and the third clan?"

Master Zhang followed suit and said: "Hezhi is the first clan and the third clan. If you count the clansmen who are implicated and are not allowed to be officials here, then the range of the third clan and the nine clans is also different. I don't know how many people there are!"

Of course, Jiang Xinlong and other officials and gentlemen sitting on the public trial stand don't know how these sages and gentry play. After all, they all came up slowly after following Zhu Jinsong's rebellion. Gentlemen.

But Jinyiwei Baihu Guanbu, who was also sitting on the public trial stand, smiled and laughed. Liu Dashan, Master Qian and others were there dog-eating dogs--in terms of long inheritance, the Jinyiwei inherited from the Hongwu period was comparable to the Wanli period. Li's family, Qian's family, and Zhang's family, which only started to prosper during the reign of Tianqi, have even stronger backgrounds.

Although the background and background between the two are not the same at all, the Jinyiwei, which has been passed down for hundreds of years, really knows how these sages and gentry play.

As long as Jin Yiwei is willing, it is easy to find those illegitimate children that Master Qian and the others secretly left outside, and then completely eradicate them.

Whether or not to do this depends on what the Emperor Daming, who is far away in the capital, thinks.
