MTL - Red Alert 1895-Chapter 901 Don't take money indiscriminately, don't talk nonsense (Part 1)
d The Imperial Procuratorate soon prosecuted the cases of corrupt literati who received bribes from foreigners and then came to discredit the imperial court and the emperor Wang Guorui in newspapers. The Supreme Court of the Empire has all tried it, and according to the order of the trial, the crime of traitor and treason are the highest priority in the trial, and have the highest priority in the trial level. Therefore, the criminal cases that were supposed to be tried will also be suppressed, so they will be tried quickly. And those literati who collected foreign wealth to discredit the Chinese government and the emperor Wang Guorui were all censored. And this is an out-and-out crime of traitor and treason. In order to survive, their so-called uplines also took the initiative to sell their downlines.
In this way, there is no one who can "sell" those downlines, and there is no way to bite out a few to mitigate the crime, so they must all face severe punishment instead. Soon after some evidence comparisons and corresponding evidence, these evidences can be found directly in the newspapers. Moreover, after arresting some online companies, and checking those abnormal bank fund flows again, we can also find out the direction of those funds. Then I found a few professional accountants to review the income of those shabby literati, so that a series of evidence could be formed soon, which was enough to make them generals.
This group of shabby literati is obviously not a master, and they were all found out by those professional investigators soon, and it didn't take long for the evidence to be solid and ready to be sentenced.
"All the defendants did not have any confession and confession, so they were given heavy sentences according to the law. Therefore, everyone was sentenced to death and executed immediately! Moreover, the hanging was carried out publicly and the whole body was allowed to be left."
After the court pronounced the verdict, all the literati panicked. They didn't expect that they would be sentenced to death. They thought they were just holding some money and taking money while swearing. Isn't that great? Moreover, he would be sentenced to such a heavy sentence. It was directly hanged. Although they were allowed to keep the whole body, but at their level, even if they kept the whole body, they would die. Of course they were not reconciled.
"Freedom of speech. Freedom of speech, and freedom of speech is what our Constitution gives us!"
Those shabby literati also started shouting one by one, and obviously wanted to redeem the result. But those bailiffs didn't care that much, they arrested these dozens of shabby literati, and then they started to walk outside me step by step. He was going to be escorted to the so-called Caishikou for execution. The current death penalty is to leave the whole body, and shooting is rarely used. Those literati were covered with black hoods, which was actually to prevent their terrifying faces from frightening people during the execution.
This method of hanging and wearing a black hood can be carried out in public without much blood. This can not only deter those who want to commit crimes in the future, but also avoid exposing too **** scenes to everyone, hurting the hearts of those adults and children, and having a negative impact on them.
This can be regarded as a relative "progress", and leaving the whole body has been a tradition in China since ancient times. Obviously, even if it is dead, the whole body should be kept. Originally, beheading meant that they didn't want to leave their whole bodies, but hanging was a method for those who had meritorious service or those whose crimes were not so serious. but. In the West, it is just the opposite. In the ancient West, the nobles would rather be beheaded, but the common people would be hanged. However, in the future, executions will be carried out by hanging and covering the face with a black hood, so that it will not be too scary.
After those people were escorted to the execution ground, they were tied to the execution chairs, ready to carry out the execution. However, this execution has attracted a lot of people's attention. Unlike those who committed murder or other common crimes, those people who were executed would naturally have nothing to say. But now these are literati, and they just scolded Wang Guorui and the new government in the newspapers. That would be the death penalty. Before, everyone thought it was freedom of speech, and they could speak whatever they wanted. And most people have always thought so. I am afraid that if you scold Wang Guorui, the emperor, you will be detained at most, and you will be sentenced for slander and swearing. Nothing else happened. Even, only those who have a certain influence will be detained and sentenced, and the government will not bother to talk to you if you say a few words in private.
But now dozens of literati are executed at once, which also reminds everyone of the so-called literary prison in the past. We must know that the fall of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was less than a full year, and the literary inquisition of the Qing Dynasty was the most severe of all dynasties. Almost every time the literary inquisition involved thousands of people. There are even tens of thousands of people! So those feudal literati scolded the new court for many bad things, but this freedom of speech was what they most supported and could not oppose. But now the new imperial court actually wanted to kill dozens of literati for this, which made them very worried. They are also afraid that there will be some new text prison, which will be troublesome.
"Ready to execute!"
"Keep people under the sword!"
Immediately, a group of people came out, shouting something like "Keep people under the sword". This kind of rule of keeping people under the sword has actually existed since ancient times. And even before the execution of the death sentence in later generations, they can be given a chance. If they can present some evidence that the judiciary has not yet grasped, and can assist in the arrest, the execution of the death sentence can also be suspended. So now some people are shouting "Keep people under the sword", according to the so-called law enforcement procedures, the execution of the death penalty is also suspended, so they have to temporarily suspend the execution of the death penalty.
Those poor literati immediately seemed to feel a glimmer of hope, because they knew that these so-called literati would not just let themselves be killed, because this is a literary prison. They finally came from the crazy era of literary inquisition in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and naturally they were unwilling to return to an era when literary inquisition was prevalent. They are now beginning to prevent the execution of the death penalty, so that they all see hope. And those shabby literati obviously also took out the so-called banners, and then began to protest.
"Freedom of speech, freedom of speech!" "You can't be convicted for your words! You can't kill people for your words!"…
"What are you doing? Maintain order!" Immediately, the bailiff came to maintain order at the scene.
When the bailiff maintained order, he immediately asked, "Why are you interfering with the execution? Now we are executing criminals, what do you mean by interfering at this time?"
"We can't kill people because of speech. Didn't the new court say that we won't kill people because of speech?" "Yes! Didn't we say that we can't kill people because of speech?" It is given to us by the Constitution!" …
Those guys started yelling right away, obviously trying to save these guys so they thought it was their victory. Because each of these literati has nothing to do all day long, and then they have to fight for their own voices, so that they can all have face and a sense of existence.
In the palace, Wang Guorui heard the report from outside.
"Your Majesty, the literati outside also talked about freedom of speech, and they cannot kill people because of their speech. They went to the execution ground to protest, thinking that we cannot execute the death penalty, and even said that the court violated the constitution!" Hu Ling said.
Wang Guorui snorted, "These shabby literati actually know how to use the constitution to explain things?"
"Your Majesty, according to the current situation, people from the Conservative Party have participated to a certain extent. They either sent some small people to participate, and then even provided some support secretly. The so-called constitution, in fact, what kind of constitution do those poor scholars know? Having such "experience" is nothing more than being manipulated by the masters. These masters, in fact, are the Conservative Party. They hope to use this opportunity to damage the reputation of the emperor, so as to unite those guys. Then try to use them, so that they can provoke the hostility of those shabby literati towards the new court." Hu Ling said.
"So it's the Conservative Party that's causing trouble, that's why!" Wang Guorui snorted coldly.
It seems that the Conservative Party still doesn't want to die like this~www.novelbuddy.com~ They hope to unite all the forces that can be united, and they will win people overtly and secretly. But they are obviously all in vain, because these literati and scholars are simply scholars who failed to rebel for three years. These scholars can make trouble one by one, but in the face of absolute force, they can't do anything at all. Once these run-down literati are stripped of their so-called privileges and the so-called sacred halo on their heads, they are nothing.
In the past, ordinary farmers regarded them as sacred and inviolable people, but now ordinary farmers dare not take them seriously, and even bargain with them. These people are actually destined to be eliminated, and there is no way for them to have a future. So don't worry about these guys, it's easier to clean them up than anyone else, so there's no need to worry.
"Okay, I'll explain it myself and let them know that some things can't be done casually. Since they have sacrificed the so-called constitution, it's hard for me not to show up. Although this constitution is still not very useful, but The future still needs to be maintained, otherwise we will definitely be in trouble. So if I don’t come out, maybe many people have lost confidence in the constitution! This constitution must be taken seriously, this constitution is to safeguard our future long-term rule requirements, if the Constitution cannot be upheld, then all other laws will be gone. Since they use the Constitution as an argument, we really can’t take it lightly!" (To be continued.)c
