Chapter 80 General Tao's Arrow Shoots Sirius (13)
The Autumn Decision includes two trial seasons: autumn trial and court trial.
For those criminals who were sentenced to the execution of prison and the punishment of prison by the local pharmacy department, the three judicial departments—the Ministry of Justice, the Censorate, and the Dali Temple—retrial each autumn, together with relevant officials from all parties, they requested the emperor to make a judgment.
After the autumn trial, court trials will be held every ten days after the frost fall to the winter solstice. The suspicious and pitiful people in the case of beheading the prison and slandering the prison case near the capital will be reviewed again. After the trial, the emperor will still submit the ruling.
The trial results are divided into four categories: "factuality", "restraint", "can be proud", and "retaining and inheriting sacrifice". Only "factuality" must be handed over to the imperial pen and executed, and the other three categories can save a life.
This is the country's tradition of "cautious punishment". As long as it is not a serious crime, it is sentenced to "dead and clear punishment" or "dead and clear punishment" and is subject to the Qiu trial and court trial, at least more than three-quarters of the chance to save lives. Although there has been such a relic of the death penalty review procedure since the Tang and Song dynasties, the real legal system was formed during the Tianshun period of Yingzong.
Emperor Yingzong was an emperor with great twists and turns. As the eldest son of Emperor Xuanzong, he was only nine years old when he ascended the throne for the first time, and his reign was Zheng orthodox.
He was the unlucky emperor who was captured by the Oirats during the Tumu Fort Incident. This emperor who believed in the great eunuch Wang Zhen, who was enough to be included in the ranks of tyrants, was imprisoned by Nangong for eight years, and contacted the ministers to launch the door-snatching change, and once again became the supreme emperor of the imperial Ming Dynasty.
This time, his year name is Tianshun.
After Emperor Tianshun ascended the throne, he reflected on himself many times and appointed virtuous ministers, especially showing the image of a benevolent monarch. He was worried that someone would still be wronged during the autumn trial, so he added another court trial. He also officially ended the system of concubines burying the emperor for Daxing, and issued a series of laws to protect the safety of slaves and servants.
However, the emperor's kindness, just like other policies, will eventually be used by the executors who run through all links. As long as the key is bribed, it will be easy to divide from "reality" to "response" during the trial of the three courts. For the parties involved, it is a matter of life and life, and for the superior second- and third-rank officials, it is a detail that they will not notice at all.
Min Zhanlian is such a person who has been wandering between "reality" and "restraint" for ten years. Only in this way can those prisoners who take care of him, clerks in the punishment room, and even the prosecutors in the court get a life-buying money every year.
Min Zhanlian's own family background was not rich, and he could not withstand the marrow sucking of filthy officials. However, his reputation was not because of his killing, but because of his great skill, and he accepted many disciples at home.
Youdao is a poor scholar and wealthy martial arts. Those disciples spent a lot of money to learn from their masters. Although some of them really like this skill, many of them have built greater possessions through this skill.
These people and Min Zhanlian have the name of master and disciple, and also have the meaning of father and son. Even if they cannot get their master out, they will not be stingy with the money they buy their lives every year. In addition, with the guidance of all parties, Min Zhanlian's life in prison is very comfortable. He even took two prisoners as disciples, and provided them with good wine and meals every day, which was even more comfortable than being outside.
Tanning took the guards of the East Palace guards and entered the Shuntian Mansion Prison. Seeing that the cell was clean and tidy and sunny, there was no depressing atmosphere except for the cage with a thick wrist. He looked at the long-famous murderer, and saw that he had a gentle face, about fifty years old, his whole body was refreshed, his skeletal muscles were loose and soft, but his every move brought great power.
"Prisoner Min Zhanlian, don't know what the official is doing here?" Min Zhanlian held his fists and saluted, his voice low and steady.
Tanning stared at Min Zhanlian's white and tender hands and couldn't help asking, "Are you Min Zhanlian?"
"It's the prisoner." Min Zhanlian was as happy as he was in his own home.
"Do you want to go out?" Tanning asked this, she was also a little unconfident.
"Haha." Min Zhanlian smiled slightly, his body suddenly tensed and twisted hard, and he could hear a crisp sound in the air. He smiled again, "If the kung fu is useless, it's better to be more stable here."
Tanning was stunned.
This force to break through the air is actually a waste of kung fu!
"I heard you are Wang Zongyue's disciple?" Tan Ning asked again.
He had made preparations before he came, but some people said that Min Zhanlian was Wang Zongyue's personal disciple, and some said that he was a disciple again. In short, his Mianquan Kung Fu skills must be related to the master of internal martial arts during the Wanli period.
"Hehe." Min Zhanlian turned sideways, reached out and raised his arm, and then put it down again. Seeing that the action was like turning the air into a ball. In Tanning's eyes, it seemed that the air was condensed like porridge, and the old man was playing with it in his palm.
Min Zhanlian obviously used this method to show his master's teachings, and the layman saw it as if he was falling into clouds.
Tanning could see some tricks, but couldn't tell the reason, and she didn't feel a little restless. He said straight to the point: "I am the guard of the East Palace, and the prince is now hiring a coach. Mr. Min is famous and the prince is willing to invite him."
"What are you teaching?" Min Zhanlian asked straightforwardly without making any gestures.
"Kill." Tanning said simply.
"This is the skill of a general in ancient times to kill enemies and make meritorious contributions!" Min Zhanlian laughed and said, "But, I have taken several lives on my body now, so it is probably inconvenient to get out."
Tanning didn't expect Min Zhanlian to agree so generously, but he could figure it out after calming down. If Min Zhanlian didn't know the appearance, he would never have the possibility of living this year. Since there is a chance to save his life and gain a background, why not do it?
"Wait for someone to let you go." Tanning put down this sentence and turned around and left. The purpose of the Eastern Palace Order he brought was to Shuntian Mansion has not been tested yet, but I think the prefect would not be ignorant.
As soon as Tanning left the prison, a thin figure flashed out from the shadows. He approached Min Zhanlian's cell and whispered: "Master, are you going to take the opportunity to escape?"
"Escape?" Min Zhanlian smiled and said, "Can the king's land beneath the world? Can you escape from the sky?"
"Master, you don't know that the world is in chaos outside!" The thin disciple said, "There is King Li Chuang in the west, who killed several vassal kings, saying that he wanted to come to Beijing to be an emperor. Jiannu in the east became more and more fierce. He robbed Shandong last year alone! Everyone in the city said: One day after another, the thief would open the city and ask for in when he arrived!"
Seeing that the master was silent, the little apprentice said again: "This is no longer something to say in private. Many people say that on the scene!"
"Isn't that the time when we make achievements?" Min Zhan Lianliu said, "I told you that your master has two unique skills, don't you remember?"
"Remember, remember, naturally." The disciple said quickly: "It's Yin Fu Gun, Tai Chi."
"Do you think that shooting technique is to help you practice boxing?" Min Zhan's color tense: "It's against it!"
