Eastern Jin Invincible Iron Army

Chapter 99 Martyrs Protection Law
Ji Kan was willing to let Xian Gao Jingzong, apart from not wanting to be the first bird, the main reason was that he saw in Gao Jingzong a kind of vigor that despises everything and is unstoppable.In his opinion, this kind of vigor is sometimes too superstitious about struggle and victory, but he has to admit that he, who often demands himself with prudence, is always attracted by Gao Jingzong's temperament.

As time went by, Gao Jingzong became more and more imposing as a superior.Even if Gao Jingzong didn't say a word, just exuding a bit of coercion, Zhang Fangping, a man who had seen battles before, was so frightened that his face turned ashen, trembling, and he couldn't speak!
As the saying goes: look at the beauty under the lamp.Although Liu Xihua is not beautiful, Xiaojiabiyu's pear raindrops are even more charming. Under the swaying lights, her graceful and mature figure is three points better than that in the daytime. For a while, the lobby is dazzled, but seeing her face His expression was dignified, but he didn't dare to look too much, and lowered his head in shame.

Gao Jingzong said lightly: "What's going on!"

Liu Xihua gave a blessing lightly, pointed at Zhang Fangping with the hatchet and said: "The thief insults the slave!"

As soon as the words fell, Wang Daxing's cold sweat broke out in Jianghuai metropolitan governor's office.Wang Daxing used to be a water and fire yamen servant in the southern city of Yecheng. The so-called water and fire yamen servants do not refer to yamen servants who specialize in extinguishing fires, but because ancient yamen servants were divided into water and fire sticks, half of which were painted red and half black.Red is the color of fire, and black is the color of water, which means that personal affection is not tolerated, so it is called water fire stick.As someone who used to be regarded as half a member of the public family, Wang Daxing knew that his punishment officer joined the army as a seventh-rank official, at the same level as the county magistrate of Zhengtang, but with a lot of power. Refers to ink, 劓, 刖, Gong, and Dapi; after the Han Dynasty, the five punishments refer to flogging, stick, disciple, flow, and death.

Although it is said that the Jianghuai Metropolitan Governor's Mansion only has three cities at this time, and the population is no more than [-].But this is also a high-level official who has entered the Dudu Mansion anyway.It happened at this time that this kind of scandalous incident happened, and Gao Jingzong would definitely think that he had neglected his duty. If he was dismissed as a punishment officer and joined the army, he would have nowhere to cry.

Liu Xihua choked with sobs, and narrated how Zhang Fangping cursed her late husband Zhang Jiankang, and how he molested her with his words.It was Liu Xihua who said angrily: "The thief dares to humiliate the slave like this, how can the slave give up? I hope the governor will be the master of the women!"

When everyone heard this, they were dumbfounded.Zhang Fangping is not an ordinary person. If an ordinary person insulted the martyrs and their families, it is not too much to sentence him to beheaded.However, Zhang Fangping was a hero who participated in the war, beheading a first-class hundred generals is equivalent to third-class merit in later generations.If the treatment is too much, it will have a bad impact on Gao Jingzong, and there will definitely be gossip, thinking that Gao Jingzong will kill the donkey.As a member of the public family, Wang Daxing did not directly pronounce the verdict, but observed Gao Jingzong's face.

Although the ancient legalists put forward that "the prince breaks the law, he is the same as the common people!" In fact, this has always been an empty talk.This has never been done in Chinese history.The so-called fairness is only relative. If the common people kill the common people, the common people must pay with their lives. This will be fair.But once the classes are different and collide, the balance of the law will begin to tilt.When a scholar kills a commoner, he doesn't have to pay his life, he only needs to pay for it. A mere ten thousand dollars is only the price of twenty sheep and a head and a half of a cow.

Gao Jingzong said: "This is the case. This is the first civil case in our Jianghuai Metropolitan Government. Everyone can talk about how to deal with it. The people involved in the case are involved in the military. Let the military generals avoid it!"

Well, Feng Lei and Ji Kan still wanted to save Zhang Fangping, a warrior who had killed hundreds of generals, but Gao Jingzong's light words shut their mouths.

Lu Yonghua said: "Great Governor, our Governor's Mansion was founded, so we followed the Han law. It is said that death is the most important thing. Zhang Fangping insulted the deceased first, and molested the widow second. According to the law, he should be punished with a stick, as an example to others!"

The so-called rod punishment is to take off the trousers and spank the buttocks with a rod, which not only causes physical pain, but also achieves the effect of humiliation.

Wang Daxing looked at Gao Jingzong's gloomy face, and guessed Lu Yonghua's opinion. Gao Jingzong was not satisfied, so he said: "Great governor, colleagues, the so-called "death is the greatest" is a weird concept. If you die, you will die. , no matter how big it is, it will not be bigger than a living person, and when a person dies, he will be wiped out in ashes. Zhang Fangping disrespects the dead, although it is against the custom, it is not easy to be severely punished, and he should be punished with copper and flogged!"

Flogging is a light punishment for beating the back, buttocks or legs of the prisoner with bamboo or wooden boards. It is designed for minor crimes, or as a reduced punishment.

Although it is the same as beating, the rod punishment is far heavier than the flogging punishment. The rod punishment, especially the large rod, has a very high mortality and disability rate, while the flogging punishment is only a pain of the flesh.The nature is completely different. According to the laws of the Celestial Dynasty, rod punishment constitutes a criminal offense, while flogging constitutes a civil offense.

Hearing the speeches of the two, Gao Jingzong was burning with anger, he slapped the table fiercely, pointed at Zhang Fangping and shouted: "Zhang Fangping, are you convicted?"

Zhang Fangping was already terrified at this time. As a commoner in Shengdou, he had never dealt with the government at all. Usually, the elders of the clan and village would come forward to resolve disputes between neighbors.Suddenly came to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, don't think that this Metropolitan Governor's Mansion was established by Gao Jingzong and others.However, during the period of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the decrees of the Eastern Jin Dynasty could not actually go out of the 72 counties of the eight counties of Xuyang.Seeing that Chang Shi and Si Xing joined the army to deal with him, he hugged his head in regret, buried it deeply in his chest, and begged: "Great governor, sister of the Liu family, I'm sorry for you. I'm sorry for Brother Zhang. Woooo Ugh...I'm sorry for you..."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's over!" Gao Jingzong said angrily: "And you, Liu's Xihua is not an ordinary person, she is the widow of our brothers who died in the army. He was killed in battle, but now his bones are not cold, and his wife and children are being insulted by others, but although we are not ignoring it, we are here to make mud, if Zhang Jiankangquan knows, what will he think?"

Gao Jingzong clapped the case, and hissed: "Your lips are dead, your teeth are cold, if all of us present here unfortunately die in battle in the future, and your wives and children are bullied, what will you think? What will you think?"

Gao Jingzong's words were like a giant hammer, hitting everyone's hearts heavily.Everyone began to reflect. This reflection is not important, and there are more problems involved.After the death of the soldiers of the dead army, can the compensation for some fields and money make up for the shortcomings of the families of the martyrs?Certainly not.In particular, there are seniors and juniors, but is the problem exposed by Zhang Fangping an exception?Certainly not, the Huaxia nation has a bad habit of eating widows, not only people like Zhang Fangping, but even the families of martyrs have to face bullying from their relatives.What should I do in the face of bullying by relatives?
Especially the other widow present, Zheng Shishi felt the deepest about this matter.Thinking of what happened to Zheng Shishi and what happened to Liu Xihua, Gao Jingzong's face became even more ugly.
