Chapter 1016 Make a death case
After saying such an unclear sentence, the magistrate of Funing got up and made a gesture asking Liu Yu to take a step to speak.

After taking two steps back, the guards immediately surrounded the two of them, not letting the people in the depression watch.

The county magistrate of Funing glanced at Liu Yu quietly. Although Liu Yu looked normal, he knew that this was a soldier who came from the battlefield.

Although Liu Yu's reputation in the officialdom is considered ignorant, and he doesn't know much about saints at all, the County Magistrate of Funing reckons that Liu Yu should still understand what he said just now.

So he said: "Duke, the lower officials have the courage to ask, do you really want to judge this matter based on disaster relief funds, river labor funds, and military supplies funds?"

The implication of these words is that you are going to kill someone?Or to scare people?
As long as this matter is not classified into these three situations, there will be a turning point, and at most a fine and expulsion will be made.

Liu Yu smiled and said, "Why, are you trying to persuade me to do good deeds and not kill people?"

The county magistrate of Funing immediately shook his head like a rattle.

"The Duke misunderstood. I heard about such a thing before the next official. It was said that a tenant in Funing was bitten by a dog on the road. The tenant beat the dog to death in a panic."

"It turned out that the dog belonged to the squire's family. The squire called the tenant, paid out incense and tinfoil money, and dressed the dog in linen and mourning for seven days. He kowtowed in front of the grave before giving up."

Liu Yu has heard this kind of thing a lot, and said lightly: "It's normal for a dog to bite a person, but it's an anecdote for a person to bite a dog. Just like this, in this world, is this worthy of trouble?"

"I'm a man of good manners. Which regulation in the "Da Shun Law" says that tenants can't wear sackcloth and filial piety for their dogs? What a big deal. The means of production, that is, the land, is in the hands of the squire. Ma Daixiao can’t rent land at all, so what’s the wind? Isn’t that normal.”

Funing County Magistrate Dui smiled and said: "Yes, what the Duke said is correct, it is indeed normal. But, although this matter is normal, although the truth is exactly as the Duke said, this is birth...birth...oh, yes, birth A matter of data ownership."

"Indeed, if you want to cure the root cause, you have to equalize the land. Or, like the prince of the state, you can advocate that there is another way to survive in Nanyang. But, the world will definitely oppose the equalization of land. They will be terrified, and the country will be destroyed. Going to Nanyang is too cruel, and many people will die. He It's normal to die in the local area. How did the county not die three to five thousand a year ago? But dying in Nanyang..."

"However, if you don't talk about the essence, don't talk about the root cause, if you just bring up the dog, the public opinion in the world will be angry, and everyone will say it can be killed. If you kill someone because of this, the world applauds and praises, and no one will say anything."

Liu Yu chuckled and asked deliberately: "Why, I follow the rules, they embezzle food money to kill people, that's not okay?"

The county magistrate of Funing shook his head and nodded again.

"Don't be angry, the Duke. Indeed, you can do it or you can't. If the Duke really kills people because of embezzlement, everyone in the world will think that the Duke is cruel."

"It is indeed as the Duke said, the squire asked the tenant to wear sackcloth and filial piety for the dog. According to the law, he should not be killed. However, if such things are added after the murder, the world will definitely not say that the Duke is cruel."

"It's one thing to know why you were killed."

"After killing, how many crimes and how many people hate him are another matter."

"Government is based on Dao, and punishment is used in uniform, and the people are free from shame. Virtue is used in Dao, and propriety is used in uniform, which is shameful and dignified. The lower officials misinterpret the meaning of the saint, which is not the original intention of the saint."

"However, the difference between politics and punishment, virtue and etiquette, the Duke of the State should think about it carefully."

"The Duke of the state kills people like this, and he uses politics and punishment."

"And if you add those things that are not illegal to the public, and spread them all over the world, then it will be based on virtue and propriety."

"Politics and punishment are used to kill people; morality and propriety are used to public opinion. Only in this way can the gentry in the world have nothing to say."

"Otherwise...the dynasty may be branded as tyrannical. At that time, the people will spread the word more. They will only say that they built bridges and repaired roads, but they will say that the Duke deliberately harmed them. The Duke Zong is not afraid of the shadow, but...but this time After all, this matter is detrimental to the court’s reputation of benevolence.”

Speaking of this, the magistrate of Funing County took another look at Liu Yu, thinking that the people from your army are simple and rude in doing things, without the standard they should have.That is to say, you have a good background and a good father, otherwise you will take the imperial examination, and you will have to go home in half a year.

How can a person kill like this?This is not a battlefield.

Besides, what a big deal, if you just kill them like this, don't all the scholars in the world sympathize with these squires and feel that they are wronged?

Originally, this matter would kill people, so it was serious.

Since you don't want to give them money and food for military supplies, disaster relief, Yellow River dams and other crimes, beheading is enough, but the country gentry will definitely not accept it.

You obviously want to add a crime, so why not excuse it, why don't you just withhold some money and food, and resell some rice for slavery, if this makes trouble, won't everyone in the world be in danger?
Besides, even if he was really guilty, it was you who framed him.Knowing that cats eat fishy meat, you have to put fast meat next to the cat, and you will beat the cat if it eats meat. This is really unreasonable.

At that time, you say that you have a high position and authority in this matter, and anyway, there is a puddle of shit on your body, which is not bad.I can't do it. I will become an official in another place in the future. When people hear that I am the magistrate of Funing County in the first year of Weixin, how can I be an official in this place?
At that time, people will collect more about these squires repairing bridges and roads, donating to county schools, and disasters, and maybe you will be erected on their graves in the future.

I don't want to kneel with you.

"Duke, didn't the notoriety of the former Emperor Hongwu come from killing people? It's okay to kill people, but after killing people, you have to punish your heart."

"Yu Li, there is really a law to follow to kill them."

"For love, killing them is really tyrannical. Therefore, the key to love is morality."

"Based on the law, you should not kill the dog as I said just now. But in terms of emotion, kill it and fight for joy."

Liu Yu chuckled and said, "This is not the way to use the term "killing people and punishing one's heart." The meaning of "Spring and Autumn" is that the original situation has been determined, and the intention of pardoning the matter is punishable. Therefore, although Xu Zhi killed the king without committing a crime, Zhao Dun used it to punish the emperor. A thief reads a book."

"According to this, I only need to convict them of the theory of punishing the heart, saying that they deliberately instigate the relationship between the court and the people, wanting to cause riots among the people; deliberately ruin the name of the court's benevolence. Even, their intentions are sinister, Want to deliberately sabotage the Huai River project and continue to drown 10,000+ people in Anhui every year?"

"Even trying to plan Gaojiayan to burst and drown millions of people? Serious anti-community behavior that needs to be shot?"

The County Magistrate of Funing smiled bitterly and said: "This kind of crime of punishing one's heart is a bit ridiculous. On the contrary, it makes people think it's a joke. No one believes it. So, the easiest way is to use the meaning of punishing one's heart."

"Since there are people who force tenants to wear sackcloth and filial piety for their dogs, then, is there any such thing as bullying men and women? Is there any such thing as robbery? Bringing these things out is more important than the theory of heart-breaking that the Duke understands. useful."

"I don't know if the Duke knows, but there was such an inverse poem at the beginning of the founding of the dynasty. Weeping for the six armies, all of them were naked, and became a beauty when they rushed to the crown...The next officials will not dare to recite it."

"The meaning of the lower official is...uh..."

The County Magistrate of Funing thought about the words for a long time before he came up with a word that Liu Yu had used before, and after repeatedly pleading guilty, he said: "Uh...Duke, please don't get angry."

"The lower officials think that the Duke's...uh...Three Views, yes, the Three Views, the Duke's Three Views are very different from the people in the world."

"The three views of the inverse poem I recited before are also very different from the three views of Emperor Taizong of this dynasty. Take the case of uniting with captives to defeat the righteous army of the Holy Dynasty at that time, or switch to borrow troops to avenge the emperor's father. Many people thought it was normal at the time. But after Emperor Taizong changed customs, people generally felt that it was abnormal.”

"For another example, there has long been a saying that the former dynasty won the righteousness of the country. But before Emperor Taizong, what he said was that it was the Red Scarf Army who rebelled to 'chaos' the world. Zhu Hongwu was not the first to rebel, because These rebels have brought chaos to the world, and he came to pacify the world, not to usurp and rebel, but to think it right."

"Emperor Taizong said that the righteousness of the country in the previous dynasty originated from the exorcism of the Tartars and started from the common people. This is true. After all, if you talk about the previous dynasty in this way, the current dynasty is the most righteous."

"That is to say, before Emperor Taizong of this dynasty, it was wrong to raise troops first, and Fang Zheng was to make things happen after the world was in chaos. After Emperor Taizong of this dynasty, uh, yes, the three views, the sooner the three views, the more correct, who Whoever raises the flag first will be upright, and the earlier the better. After all, Han Lin'er is not said to be located in Zhu Hongwu, but Emperor Taizu is the name of Chenggao Yingxiang. Uh, of course... this, after the Holy Dynasty is established, why is it called an "rebellion" 'This is another way of saying, return early, it must be meaningful, not just talk about early..."

"However, in short, the meaning of being a subordinate official is that what the Duke thinks is a big matter, people in the world think it is a trivial matter; It's a big deal...even, sometimes the country thinks it's right, but others think it's wrong."

"If you want to do things, you have to change customs and make people in the world think you are doing the right thing; or you have to follow the three views of people in the world."

"So, the Duke thinks they should be killed, and the lower officials think it makes sense, but in terms of the world's three views, they shouldn't be killed. Killing them is tyranny."

"However, if you take the matter of dressing dogs in hemp and filial piety as an example, the Duke of the State feels that this matter is useless. You can either equalize the land or go to Nanyang to solve the problem of ownership of the means of production. No."

"However, scholars feel that going to Nanyang is tyrannical and equalizing the land is against the law. It would be more comfortable to kill a few people by doing this kind of thing and make everyone angry."

"Although it may be of no use to Duke Guo, it can't solve anything. However, people in the world don't think it needs to be solved fundamentally, they just want to see how to solve these fur."

"This matter, you should do it."

The county magistrate of Funing turned his mind quickly, and quickly came up with an idea.

It's time to kill, anyway, you have the intention to kill, and it's useless if I say not to kill.

Before killing, collecting notoriety is the kind of thing that can't be done legally, but morally makes people want to kill him.

After the case is settled, the facts of the case will be collected and published.

The reason for publishing the book, the purpose of publishing the book, is to have the morality of the Tao and the courtesy, so that people in the world know what is wrong and what is right.No one can object to this reason, which is a moral addition.

And if this step can be achieved, then no one would dare to overturn this case.

Because, even if you want to find out the strangeness in this case, no matter how you look at it, it will be tricky.

But due to these evil deeds, no one dared to risk the world's displeasure by overturning this case.

That is to say, I originally thought there was something wrong with the corruption and embezzlement in the case, as if someone had set it up, but after putting those notorious names on it, the case became a deadly case, and it seemed difficult to find out the strangeness of the corruption and embezzlement. To overturn the case of these evil deeds, the whole world needs to complain.

But it must be made clear that these people were killed not because of these evil deeds, but because of corruption and embezzlement of food.

In this way, not only the law is maintained, but also moral public opinion is borrowed.

More importantly... the magistrate of Funing thought to himself, there must be something wrong with it, no matter how you look at it, it looks like you are deliberately conniving, then luring them to commit crimes, and then killing them.It's too ugly to spread this matter, and your work is too rough, so my mother will have to be implicated as well.

You don't itch if you have too many lice, but I can't do it.

I can't avoid it anyway, this pool of mud is destined to get on my body.

That being the case, then just do it right away, make it a death case, and make it a death case that no one in the world dares to turn over or touch.

It's the same as the case of the squire burying civilians alive that shocked the Lianghuai River before.

Or not buried alive.

Since it is buried alive, then directly die.

Not only are they buried alive, but they are also labeled as gathering crowds to rebel and striving for great things.

Thinking of this, the county magistrate of Funing quietly glanced at the hundreds of squires gathered in the depression, and then looked at the depression, and suddenly woke up in his heart: "Isn't this... this depression just a grave that has not yet been filled? Damn, they are here Did you dispose of corpses in the same way in the Eastern and Southern Ocean battlefields in the Western Regions? It's really bad luck, Amitabha, goodness, goodness..."
