Chapter 428 Clan Chaos Law
"You didn't mean to take his life?"

Guzi looked at Li Chaosheng puzzled after hearing this, Li Chaosheng smiled slightly and said: "Yes, if I really want to kill Zuo Liangyu, then when assassinating him, the killer should not use a knife, but bring a sword with him. Two grenades, then rushed into Zuo Liangyu's tent, blew the grenade, and fell on Zuo Liangyu, even if Zuo Liangyu put on thick armor, it would be useless."

Gu Zi was even more puzzled when he heard the words: "Then why didn't you do that?"

Li Chaosheng said with a smile: "Ming has never been short of talents. Zuo Liangyu, Zhang Liangyu, and Wang Liangyu are dead. As long as Shandong is still under the control of the imperial court, there will be no shortage of people in the Shandong General Army, and these newborn calves are not afraid of tigers." , At that time, we will have thoughts that we shouldn't have, maybe we will have to work hard again."

"And Zuo Liangyu has learned a lesson this time, so he naturally knows the depth and strength of our Lantian, so if he is not sure about destroying our Lantian next time, he will not dare to make a fool of himself, and we can save a lot of breaking up with them." Pulling strength, keep this strength, isn't it great for us to build up our Lantian?"

Hearing this, Gu Zi nodded and said, "That's right, Zuo Liangyu, Yang Sichang, and Zhou Yanru must be crying in their dreams after being taught a lesson like this."

Li Chaosheng sighed at this moment and said: "I am willing to be kind to others. In fact, I am still a farmer in essence, and I don't have much to pursue. I just like to lead the people to farm in peace, but they will not let us live in peace. , then only the jackals came to fight the jackals, and the tigers and leopards came to kill the tigers and leopards."

After Li Chaosheng finished speaking, Bai Shoumin and Guzi looked at each other and were speechless. County officials are always like this. Who in this world is not a farmer? It's a farmer.

Li Chaosheng chatted with the two of them again, when Li Chaosheng suddenly remembered something, he looked at Bai Shoumin and said, "By the way, where did Li Dingguo go?"

After hearing this, Bai Shoumin said: "Speaking of this Li Dingguo, I have to say that he is really a character. Our sentry saw him on the border of Hubei three days ago. He seems to be going to detour through Tongguan in Henan to come to our Lantian."

After hearing this, Gu Zi asked, "Where are they now?"

Bai Shoumin shook his head and said: "Li Dingguo's anti-reconnaissance ability is very strong, our people dare not get too close, and we don't have enough sentries outside, we only cover big cities, and Li Dingguo and the others seem to specialize in interpersonal surveillance. In a barren land, it is difficult to trace their whereabouts, so..."

"You are lost."

Li Chaosheng looked at Bai Shoumin and said, Bai Shoumin heard this and said: "The county honorable atonement, the subordinates will immediately send more people to track down, and we must find his whereabouts."

Li Chaosheng smiled when he heard this, and said, "No need, we don't need such a lot of effort for a Li Dingguo. No matter how he hides, his goal is Lantian County. As long as he wants to come to Lantian, they will run away." No, our secret spies don’t have full coverage outside, but in Lantian, everyone is our secret spies.”

After hearing this, Bai Shoumin said, "Yes, what about us?"

Li Chaosheng said: "Notify the secret agents outside Lantian County to ignore Li Dingguo, Li Dingguo is not within their scope of investigation, so they should be busy."

Bai Shoumin nodded and said, "Yes."

Bai Shoumin left, and Gu Zi packed up the materials and said, "Master Xian, why don't you let Xiaolei watch over it."

"Xiao Lei."

Hearing this, Li Chaosheng said, "That's fine. He wasn't happy when he was dismissed as the commander of the Arsenal Firearms Training Battalion a few days ago. Now that he's been assigned to the investigation department, this kid still doesn't want to come out. Stay in the investigation department."

After hearing this, Gu Zi said: "This kid is okay. During this period of time, the chiefs of the two localities who were found to be corrupt are all village elders who were recommended by the localities when we had no one to use them. Now we control the localities. Now that their strength has come up, they still don't know how to restrain themselves, and continue to exploit as before, so it's time to use their heads to comfort the local people."

"Oh, nothing happened, did it?"

"Yes, Liu Jincai, the head of Nanfangli, is the patriarch of the Liu family, the largest clan in the area. This old boy relied on his own power to greedy for land under our noses. He even set up a small court in his clan and tried several times. A tribe who dared to disobey him."

"Among them was a boy named Liu Erwa, who was dissatisfied with the grandfather's allocation of one acre of the two acres of land allocated to their family by the county lord as their family's public land, so he wanted to come to our county government to sue, but Unexpectedly, there were clan elders blocking it, Liu Erwa was a fool, and pushed a clan elder to the ground, and let the people in the clan control it at that time."

"In the end, Liu Jincai was sentenced to death for disobeying the clan elders, disrespecting the elders, ashaming the ancestors, and blatantly rebelling against the law, and was directly buried alive."

Li Chaosheng's expression changed slightly when he heard this, but he didn't feel too angry because he had seen this kind of thing too much these years. The county asked the head of the village to file a complaint, but Liu Jincai locked up Liu Erwa's daughter-in-law and lied that the woman was crazy."

"Liu Erwa's mother is blind. When she heard that her son was buried alive and her daughter-in-law was still locked up, she went to Liu Jincai for an evaluation. But on a small slope not far from Liu Jincai's house, she was attacked by two wild dogs. , was injured in the end, and died within a few days after being carried home."

"Later, Xiaolei was transferred to our investigation department. When he was leading a team to inspect the people's situation, he felt unbearable and sent a letter to the county post box set up in the county. According to the clues, Xiaolei found Nanfang and finally arrested Liu Jincai. .”

"But when Liu Jincai was arrested, some members of his clan gathered to make trouble, saying that the head of the clan could only accept the clan law, not the king's law, and would not let Shi Xiaolei take him away."

Hearing this, Li Chaosheng frowned, his expression showing anger. In Lantian, there is still a place where the king's law is not respected. It is an unforgivable crime.

Gu Zi saw Li Chaosheng's anger, and followed him up: "Xiao Lei didn't get used to these troublemakers, he beat them up with his subordinates and took them into custody, but the family members of these clansmen went to the county government to make trouble. , Xiaolei got angry, and in a fit of rage, he also arrested the family members of these clansmen, and now they are all put in the prison in Chunhua County."

"The chief of Chunhua County felt that this involved hundreds of people. It was a big deal. He wanted to let Shi Xiaolei release him, but you know Xiaolei's temper. He would rather bend than bend. These people have clearly violated the king's law, but they dare not abide by the king's law. , so he resisted the pressure and did not let him go, and now the two sides are in a deadlock."

"The head of Chunhua County thinks that Shi Xiaolei is relying on his good relationship with you, the county official, and doesn't understand the difficulties of their parents and officials. However, Shi Xiaolei thinks that the parents and officials are ineffective, allowing his subordinates to be lawless and useless in education."

"This matter has already been brought to the Political Department. The Political Department is negotiating. If it doesn't work, I'm afraid it will be reported to the county lord and wait for the county lord to handle it."

After hearing this, Li Chaosheng looked at Gu Zi, and said with a strange look in his eyes: "Is that bastard Shi Xiaolei asking for help?"

After hearing this, Gu Zi laughed and said, "Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from the county lord."

After hearing this, Li Chaosheng looked at Guzi and said, "The two of you will cause me trouble, and now you are still cooperating. No wonder you mentioned Shi Xiaolei to me, so you are here waiting for me."

After hearing this, Gu Zi chuckled: "Hey~ Xianzun, you can help Xiaolei, this matter is not Xiaolei's fault in the first place, it is really Liu Jincai and the Liu family who are too stupid."

After hearing this, Li Chaosheng looked at Gu Zi and said, "Gu Zi, never say that your people are stupid, they are just being deceived."

Speaking of this, Li Chaosheng said: "Pass my order to the Political Department."

Gu Zi saluted immediately, and Li Chaosheng said: "Lantian is the Lantian of the people, and it is also the Lantian of the law. In Lantian, the law is above everything else. Any behavior that tramples on the law or does not obey the law will be severely punished."

"Yes."

Guzi should be, and Li Chaosheng said: "Secondly, the head of Chunhua County did not do well, which led to people who despised the law in the countryside, and wanted to replace the law of Lantian with the law of the clan. This is all because of him. The dereliction of duty by the head of the village in Chunhua County, he was specially demoted to the deputy head of the village of Chunhua County, who took the responsibility of the head of the village, and after one year, we will see the effect."

"Yes."

"Thirdly, we can order the Deputy Director of the Investigation Department, Shi Xiaolei, to compensate for the damage to civilian facilities during the arrest, and provide timely medical treatment to the relevant personnel."

After finishing this article, Guzi's face was happy, this punishment is better than nothing, the damage to private facilities during the arrest, what can be damaged, at most it is some hoes and rakes, even if the wall of someone's courtyard is kicked down, it will not be destroyed. How much is it worth.

There is also timely medical treatment for relevant personnel. Give it a simple treatment, and then declare the canonical punishment.

Therefore, it is impossible for the person arrested this time not to be treated in time, so Li Chaosheng essentially did not punish Shi Xiaolei in any form.

"Fourth, all those involved will be judged fairly and strictly in accordance with the law, and no favoritism or fraud will be allowed. In Lantian, we will absolutely not allow any bad guys to get away with it."

After saying this, Li Chaosheng said: "Send someone to urge Chunhua County to judge this matter. Don't be afraid of crowds, and don't be afraid of them making trouble. There is no privileged class in Lantian, and there is no clan to cover up crimes. Lantian can only have a piece of sky. A very few bad elements are allowed to bring down the atmosphere in Lantian."

After Li Chaosheng finished speaking, Gu Zi nodded, knowing that Li Chaosheng was serious this time.

"Fifth, inform the Ministry of Law, the Political Department, and the Militia Command to come to the large conference room for a meeting tomorrow. The theme of the meeting is to eliminate the interference of rural clan snobbery in the judiciary, and how to eliminate the influence of large clans on local administration."

Li Chaosheng sent out a series of orders, and Guzi felt that this matter was not easy. He originally wanted to make Shi Xiaolei say something nice and help his brother, but he didn't expect that it was as if he had stabbed a hornet's nest. Let the county lord hold a meeting of the three ministries.

In fact, Gu Zi really underestimated the nature of this matter. What Li Chaosheng wants to do is to completely reform the dynasty. Anything that will affect the reform must be eliminated and must not be tolerated.

As for today's incident, it seems that the local clans do not obey the law, as long as they are severely punished by the law, but is that the case?

No, this is just a microcosm of the Ming Dynasty. Lantian and Li Chaosheng have carried out various reforms, and even used the power of rogues to clean up the aristocratic families, local tyrants and evil gentry, but there is still the clan resistance against the law.

Clans seem to be very weak, but Li Chaosheng only knew the powerful and terrifying power of this thing. The most glorious time of the clan should be before the Tang Dynasty, when the Qin and Han Three Kingdoms developed the most rapidly, and the Jin Dynasty reached its peak.

In that era, the clan was simply an aristocratic family, monopolizing politics, military affairs, and local finance, and even the emperor had to act according to the face of the aristocratic family.

It was not until Wu Zetian's period that Wu Zetian brutally suppressed the family, which led to the weakening of the family. Later, through the efforts of successive emperors, the family was finally wiped out at the top, but the family still took root in the soil and became a clan.

Firmly holding the basic administrative power of the empire is also a major drawback of all feudal dynasties, that is, the laws do not go to the countryside, which leads to all the laws in the countryside becoming the authority in the hands of the clan elders. I can't go into details.

It can be said that the exploitation of the local tyrants and evil gentry and the landlord class is visible to the naked eye, but in the clan, there are not a few people who do immoral things based on family affection, especially some people who have evil intentions but become clan elders or even patriarchs because of their birth.

They are the cancer of this society, and now they are doing things against the law, and they also threaten that their patriarchs can only deal with it by the family law, and the law cannot.

What are these people up to?In Lantian, who are the people that the law of Lantian cannot deal with?That was Li Chaosheng himself, and even Li Chaosheng had to abide by the law. They are so der, they don't have to obey the law.

This is her mother's rebellion. If this trend is ignored, it will be unimaginable what will happen in the end. Therefore, Li Chaosheng's comment on these people is: "Severe punishment."

What is severe punishment? It refers to the three to ten years of imprisonment mentioned in the law, then the sentence of ten years will be used. If there is no term to the death penalty, the death sentence will be used.

In troubled times, heavy codes should be used, Lantian is too comfortable, so comfortable that some people think they can come out to stir up wind and rain.

Lantian is too tolerant, so tolerant that there is no blood in Lantian, and if he is kind to the people, they can do whatever they want.

But now Li Chaosheng thinks it's time to sort out the internal chaos. Some people are too jumpy. They forget that Lantian is the common people's Lantian. They think that Lantian is theirs. This is the way to kill.

Li Chaosheng is very angry, the law does not go to the countryside, this is impossible for Lantian, Lantian's management is to have no dead ends.

This matter must be dealt with seriously.

When Li Chaosheng was thinking about how to deal with these clans, a guard outside the door gave Guzi a wink, and Li Chaosheng saw it all of a sudden: "What are you sneaking around, tell me."

After hearing this, the guard said: "Master Xian, just now Yuxianlou sent someone to say that there is a young master surnamed Ma looking for you."

"Surname Ma?"
