Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 904 Gong Law (Fifth Change)

Zhang Haolin bent his waist and just stared at the gilded waist card in front of him, frowning as if trying to discern the words on it, but he couldn't read at all, but seeing the expensive cost of the waist card, he knew it must have a background people.

"His Royal Highness Qin will not allow you to be presumptuous, kneel down!" Before he could figure out how to deal with it, Qin Zuoming kicked Zhang Haolin's calf.

Zhang Haolin was kicked to the ground and wanted to have a fit, but when he heard this, he frowned again, and at the same time turned his eyes around, thinking that this time he might really have encountered a problem. Although he had never heard of King Qin, he This person surnamed Qin would definitely not randomly recruit someone to pretend to be the prince. Thinking of this, Zhang Haolin immediately gave up struggling and changed his expression.

"My lord! Lord Qin arrested the little one indiscriminately. You have to make the decision for the little one!" Zhang Haolin's face immediately turned from cloudy to rainy.

"I don't know the name of this worker?" Liu Hongjian ignored Zhang Haolin, but asked the man who hurt his hand just now.

Qin Zuoming's loud roar just now really frightened these workers. They thought they had committed some serious crime, and crouched in a corner of the workshop in awe.

"The young one's name is Liu Youmin." The man who hurt his hand said fearfully.

"Liu Youmin, and you, now I am asking you a question, and you have to answer it truthfully. This is related to your future livelihood, understand?" Liu Hongjian glanced at the other workers and said.

He understands that sometimes the better your attitude towards these low-level workers, the more they will refuse to tell the truth. Instead, if you show the dignity that a superior should have, they will succumb to authority instead.

A group of workers nodded upon hearing this.

"Does this Haolin force you to polish 120 bricks every day?" Liu Hongjian asked.

The workers nodded again.

"Does it take ten hours to polish 120 bricks?"

Several workers nodded again, but Liu Youmin and the other two did not.

"My lord, it depends on the level of proficiency. The newcomers may not be able to polish well even if they are eleven hours old, and they often work continuously for two or three days!" Liu Youmin seemed to understand that Liu Hongjian was helping them, and immediately explained.

"A few days ago, did a worker named Li Liu die from overwork?" Liu Hongjian asked again.

"Back to the prince, yes, not only Li Liu, two people died last month, one named Feng San and the other named Zhao Tiezhu!
Every month there are people who can't make it, we all want to leave, but Zhang Haolin demands that we pay for it, the governor of Quanzhou, Cao Maoshan, and Zhang Haolin have the same nostrils, we can't leave, if we stay, we will die of exhaustion, let me tell you the truth, my lord It has been more than a day without rest!

I beg the prince to be the master for us! "Liu Minyou fell to his knees and began to cry as he spoke.

Because his left hand was injured and the polishing speed was slow, he had to give up the rest time, because not only would there be no monthly payment for the day of leave, but another day’s monthly payment would be deducted.

Sometimes I think it’s still comfortable to farm in the past. Although farming is tiring, it’s not so tiring. They haven’t had time to rest, but they can’t go back. Zhang Haolin, a profiteer, colluded with the Quanzhou prefect to make them live in such shackles. day!

"Liu Minyou, how dare you spout blood!"

Pa - "Ouch!"

Zhang Haolin also threatened people with the majesty of the Dong family, but Qin Zuoming hit the back of his head again, and he couldn't help lying on the ground covering his head and howling.

Immediately, Liu Hongjian took the workers in the workshop and Zhang Haolin to go directly to the Quanzhou magistrate's yamen, and called the workers from the surrounding workshops along the way.

He had actually seen Cao Maoshan, the prefect of Quanzhou, and he went out of the city dozens of miles to greet him when he just arrived at the Straw Hat Mountain in the border of Quanzhou. He insisted on dragging him to a banquet, but Liu Hongjian refused to go.

When they arrived at the Yamen of Quanzhou Magistrate, there had been servants guarding both sides of the gate, but when they saw Liu Hongjian approaching aggressively, with several rows of guards behind him, he panicked and ran straight into the Yamen without daring to scold him.

Not long after, Cao Maoshan ran out in official uniform, but when he saw that besides King Qin Liu Hongjian, there were many workers who looked like workers and his brother-in-law behind him, he immediately knew something was wrong.

"My lord, why don't we discuss in the backyard?" Cao Maoshan winked at Liu Hongjian.

How could Liu Hongjian not know what this guy wanted to do, he probably made a lot of money all these years, he just wanted to use the money to make peace.

But Liu Hongjian couldn't see what a little magistrate was like. He glanced at Cao Maoshan and sat on the main seat of the prefect's yamen.

Cao Maoshan was stunned and wanted to sit in Liu Hongjian's deputy, but Liu Hongjian made him kneel down together with the group of workers and Zhang Haolin.

Cao Maoshan has heard about Liu Hongjian's deeds, knowing that this young prince is not only powerful but also has been fighting in the north and south, he did not dare to disobey, and he knelt down obediently.

He knew that his brother-in-law must have offended the King of Qin somehow, but he guessed it shouldn't be a serious crime, so he didn't take it too seriously.

But who knows that Liu Hongjian went up and scolded Cao Maoshan, bluntly saying that Zhang Haolin ignored human life, and as the prefect of Quanzhou, he broke the law and protected Zhang Haolin, so that the common people complained, and the life of the official workers went from bad to worse.

The more Liu Hongjian talked, the more excited he became, to the point that Qin Zuoming, sitting beside Liu Hongjian, didn't understand why His Royal Highness King Qin was so angry.

"Come here, push out the prefect of Quanzhou and the profiteer Zhang Haolin, and behead him in public on the street!" At the end of speaking, Liu Hongjian was already in a state of despair.

So much effort wasted, so much energy wasted, for the sake of rejuvenating Daming, but suddenly found that the real bottom people are still in dire straits.

It's really amazing, all the palaces and palaces are made of earth, prosperity, the people suffer, and death, the people suffer.

This made Liu Hongjian very disappointed, and he seemed to have a kind of resentment that was difficult to vent. This also made him see the extra resentment of the profiteer and dog official in front of him, so he directly moved to kill.

"My lord, although my lord has protected Zhang Haolin a little, but the crime does not deserve death. Even if the lord is at fault, it should be punished and investigated by the procurator. The lord's punishment is so fine, and this official refuses to accept it!"

Cao Maoshan knelt down without saying a word. He wanted to listen to what Liu Hongjian had to say first. At worst, he would give some more money to settle the matter. He didn't expect that the young prince became more and more excited and wanted to kill him immediately. I panicked.

"My lord, why did you kill the little one? Then Li Liu died suddenly while working because of his poor health, and it has nothing to do with the little one!"

Zhang Haolin wanted to talk a long time ago, but his brother-in-law Cao Maoshan kept telling him not to talk nonsense, but seeing that he was sentenced to death for being confused, how could Zhang Haolin calm down.

"Hmph, what's wrong with your health? It's clearly because you, a profiteer, over-extracted the workers and made them die from overwork because they didn't have to work every night. Their deaths are directly related to you.

As the boss, you not only don't want to repent, but also don't give the family members any compensation, which is clearly a disregard for human life! "Liu Hongjian seldom judged cases, and rarely came into contact with these market green skins, so he stood up angrily.

"But my lord, what law in Ming Dynasty stipulates the working hours of the workers? Since the small ones hired them, they have to complete the tasks according to the small amount of work. The small ones are wronged!" Zhang Haolin continued to argue.

"Okay! If you want to know which law it is, then this king will tell you now.

Article 14 of the Industrial Law of the Daming Law stipulates that employers employ craftsmen and workers shall not work for more than five hours a day. If the worker dies from overwork due to excessive overtime, the employer shall fine 100 taels and pay 300 taels of compensation. Those who repent and cause overwork death again and more than one person, the employer should be beheaded! "Liu Hongjian said to Zhang Haolin word by word.

"it is good!"

At this time, the people outside the yamen were already full of people. It is estimated that the people had already complained about Cao Maoshan. When they heard that the young adult in the hall wanted to severely punish Cao Maoshan and Zhang Haolin, some people cheered loudly.

"My lord, although I have little talent and learning, as an official of the Ming Dynasty, I still know the laws of the Ming Dynasty. I have never heard of this law!" Cao Maoshan retorted.

"Of course you haven't heard of it, because this law was newly added by this king, the Gonglu of the Great Ming Law, starting from today!
As a magistrate, he doesn't think of benefiting the common people, but openly covers up his relatives and disregards human lives, which is the same crime!Come on, let me pull it out and chop it up! After finishing speaking, Liu Hongjian grabbed the token from the courtroom and threw it on the ground.

Cao Maoshan and Zhang Haolin were terrified when they heard the words, Chang Yu saw that Qin Zuoming did not move, so he gave Kuo Duan and other guards a wink, and Kuo Duan immediately pulled them out with a few soldiers.

On the street outside the Yamen of the Zhifu in Quanzhou City, he took out the two of them neatly with a knife in his hand.

Kuo Duan and the others were all veterans who followed Liu Hongjian in bloody battles. They wouldn't even bat an eyelid if they killed two dog officials and profiteers. They didn't care who this person was. Even the political envoy dares to chop here.

The common people have never seen such a vigorous and vigorous style. Although they hate Cao Maoshan, the dog official, they were shocked to be beheaded in court so quickly.

"Common people, the imperial court encourages business and industry to benefit the people without land, not to let profiteers and dogs jointly exploit you. In the future, whenever an employer oppresses you illegally, you can go to the yamen to report.

If the yamen officials ignore it, they can report it to the next level. If the matter is found out, the officials at all levels who have neglected their duties will be guilty of the same crime!

As this king said just now, the Gonglu of the Great Ming Law begins today! "
