Back to the Ming Dynasty to be a tyrant

If someone gives a few copper coins, the children dare not spend them to buy some food. Although they have some money in their hands, they just look at the small stall selling steamed buns next to them and drool, and they dare not buy them at all. Delayed to continue begging.

Seeing this, Chongzhen felt that these children should be controlled by others, but pretended not to know, and asked, "Housekeeper Wang, look at those children in front, why are they so pitiful? The officials of the Nursing Home are receiving the salaries given by the imperial court and His Majesty." , but don’t care about these children?”

Wang Chengen looked at the children that Chongzhen was referring to, and said helplessly: "Master, don't say that the nursing home has no money to support these children, even if there are, they can't control them."

Chongzhen knew what was going on, but he pretended to be curious: "Why? The nursing home has no money, I know, so what's going on if I can't control it?"

Wang Cheng'en replied: "Master, these children were all cut up. Some people deliberately made them like this to make money, and most of those people called themselves disciples of the beggar gang.

The Nursing Home wants to take care of it, but it has no soldiers or horses in its hands, so it can't catch people;Furthermore, once a batch is caught, there will be another batch.Over time, there are fewer people in charge.

My court is much better than before.This is also why in recent years when the common people have no food, some vicious people have taken risks and done such a thing. "

Chongzhen understands that it is a problem that later generations have never completely cured, and it is too difficult for Da Ming to completely solve it.I just don't know how Daming treats these criminals?So he went on to ask: "Then according to the law of Daming, how should these people be dealt with?"

It’s just that Wang Chengen’s next words startled Chongzhen: “Returning to the young master’s words, according to the law of the Ming Dynasty: whoever harvests life and cuts off people will be executed as the mastermind Ling Chi, the accomplice will be beheaded, and the property will be cut off and paid to the family of the cut off. Wife Although they didn’t know about it, their son and their cohabiting family members, they lived together for two thousand miles and were resettled. They were cut off for those who followed them. Those who knew about it and did not report them would sit together.”

Thinking about future generations, Chongzhen's biggest crackdown on human traffickers is nothing more than a peanut, and the strength of the Ming Law is very impressive.

In the previous life, I had no good way to deal with this situation, and I couldn't do anything. Now that I am the emperor, I have to teach these bastards how to behave!

With a decision in mind, Chongzhen stopped going to the temple fair at all, turned around and ordered a few words, then found a food stall and sat down.

When it was time for a cup of tea, the soldiers and horses of the five cities had already sealed off the entire vicinity of Dongyue Temple, and then Jin Yiwei ordered to rush in and cut everything into small pieces, making it difficult for them to form a group.

At this time, Tian Ergeng, who specializes in controlling domestic livelihood affairs, also came to the scene.After the ceremony with Chongzhen, all the people present knew that today's emperor actually came to Dongyue Temple in a white dragon fish suit to visit people's sentiments privately.

There was a guilty conscience in the crowd, and immediately whispered to the person next to him: "Brother, I just said that I can't come to the capital, right? Isn't this just a coincidence? If we are discovered, I will wait..."

The man who was called the big brother was quite majestic with big shoulders and round waist. Hearing the words, he replied in a low voice: "What are you afraid of? He didn't come here specifically for us. Besides, if you don't come to the capital, you're afraid of that bastard surnamed Zhang." They will still chase us all over the world, and only at the feet of the Son of Heaven, that Zhang can do nothing about us."

Chapter 61 Heavy Code

No matter how the people present guessed, it couldn't change the situation that the entire area around Dongyue Temple had been completely surrounded by soldiers and horses from the five cities. What's more, there were Jin Yiwei in the crowd who were wearing flying fish suits and holding embroidered spring knives. Kneeling obediently—because the emperor was present, the Xiuchun knife in Jin Yiwei's hand was out of its sheath!

When Chongzhen came to Dongyue Temple and ordered Jin Yiwei to bring those little beggars there, everyone present probably guessed what Chongzhen wanted to do.

In the crowd, the man called Big Brother was already pale, and murmured: "It's a disaster, it's a disaster!"

The person calling him next to him, although he was lean and smart, didn't react at all, and asked without knowing his death: "Brother, what's the matter? Although the person surnamed Zhang is also in the capital, we don't need to be afraid." he."

The man who was called the eldest brother gave a soft sip, and said: "What is that surnamed Zhang? How can I, Wu Zhen, be afraid of him?" Then he said dejectedly: "At this moment, it is better to lose that surnamed Zhang. in hand."

I don't know what I remembered, but I said to the thin man next to me: "Xu Liuzi, I, Wu Zhen, did not lose you, did I?"

Xu Liuzi heard the words, and hurriedly said: "Where did Brother Wu say that, brothers eat hot drinks, don't you rely on your brother Wu to support you?"

Then Wu Zhen continued: "Six sons, in this situation, brother can only place his hopes on you. After a while, you will just pretend to be a theater watcher, and brother will bear the responsibility alone. From now on, your sister-in-law and the others will entrust it to you gone."

Only then did Xu Liuzi come to his senses, and asked, "Brother, today's matter is aimed at us?"

Wu Zhen nodded slightly, and said: "Probably yes. If you can hide it for a while, you go back to your hometown immediately, and after your sister-in-law and the others get married, you go to take care of one or two. Brother will definitely die today."

Xu Liuzi stopped doing it, and said softly: "Brother, who do you think my sixth son is? This time, my younger brother took care of me, and the family is thanks to my elder brother for taking care of me. My brother is stupid, not as flexible as my elder brother, or It is more important for the eldest brother to survive."

Wu Zhen smiled wryly, and said, "Brother, brother, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear the punishment, and none of us brothers will be able to run away by then. What's more, we may not be able to hide it today."

Since the people around were whispering, it didn't seem obtrusive for the two to speak in a low voice.

The children who were kneeling or lying on the ground in front of Chongzhen years ago pointed to one of the older children, who looked about seven or eight years old, and asked softly: "Don't be afraid, baby, come and tell me, who brought you here?" ?”

Seeing that the child did not speak, he asked again, but the child just shook his head, but did not answer.

The Jin Yiwei guard next to him was annoyed, and shouted: "Your Majesty asked, why don't you answer quickly?!"

But Chongzhen glared at the guard, and shouted softly: "Go away, don't talk too much."

Then he said to the child: "Look, these people are afraid of me. I am the most powerful. Come and tell me, who brought you here? Can I vent my anger for you?"

The child's lifeless eyes finally had some light, but he still didn't speak, but his eyes searched the crowd.

At this time, a child who was missing an arm and was about the same age boldly said: "Big brother, he can't speak, his tongue is gone, and he is about to be beaten into a fool!" gone."

When Chongzhen heard the words, he was about to get angry, but he was afraid of scaring these children, so he said to the child who spoke: "Then you come and tell me who beat him, okay? I will vent my anger on your behalf."

The kid was also a bold one, but he asked, "Really? You can't lie to us."

Chongzhen smiled, and said: "I won't lie to you, I keep what I say. Whoever refuses to listen, I will order someone to spank their ass."

Only then did the child turn around and search the crowd.

Wu Zhen saw the child's gaze swept over, and glared at the child, causing the child to shrink back in fright.

At this time, Chongzhen was also following the child's gaze, and when he saw Wu Zhen glaring at the child, he knew something was wrong, and immediately pointed to the group of people Wu Zhen was with, and shouted: "Take it!"

When even more than a dozen school captains of Jinyiwei rushed over, each of them pointed a knife at each other, this small group of ten or so people was escorted to a place not far from Chongzhen.

Chongzhen didn't pay any attention, and just asked the child again: "Look, is there the person you mentioned here? If he wants to stare at you again, I'll let someone spank his ass, you don't have to be afraid."

The child pointed at Wu Zhen, and blurted out, "It's them! He and the skinny guy next to him just beat us every day and didn't give us food. We're hungry."

Hearing this, Chongzhen ordered the Jin Yiwei next to him to buy some steamed buns from the steamed stuffed bun stall and gave them to these children. He was so happy that the eyes of the steamed stuffed bun boss became slits—look, the emperor even bought my steamed stuffed buns , These copper plates can't be spent, and they will be offered later.

Chongzhen felt sad again when he saw those children devouring the steamed stuffed buns.In the previous life, the bear child in my family was also six or seven years old. He only wanted to play every day, and he would not eat food with meat and vegetables. A poor child who has nothing to eat?

The more Chongzhen thought about it, the more murderous intent became in his heart, and he immediately asked, "Where is the head of the Nursing Home?"

Seeing the head of the Nursing Home kneeling in front of him, Chongzhen said: "You wait for these children to return to the Nursing Home and spread the word to the Nursing Homes everywhere. If you find such a child, you can seek help from the local Jinyiwei and the government. , you can go directly to Beijing to file a complaint, and whoever dares to stop me will have his head!"

Seeing that the people in the Nursing Home took all these children away, Chongzhen said to Wang Chengen: "Order someone to bring a set of tables and chairs, and it is said that the admiral of the Wucheng Army and Ma Si, the Yin of Shuntian Prefecture, and the minister of Dali Temple came to see me. , I want to use this Dongyue Temple today to seek justice for my people!"

What he said was so loud that most of the surrounding people could hear it, and they all secretly thought that the emperor is really a wise and wise monarch.

Shuntian Fu Yin and Wucheng Bingmasi's admiral who got up in a hurry played drums, feeling that they might not be able to please today, but Dali Temple Minister was relatively calm, after all, this matter had nothing to do with him.

After the three of them saluted, Chongzhen directly said to the governor of Shuntian Prefecture and Wucheng Bing Ma Si: "In broad daylight, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, there was an incident of cutting and cutting, but neither of you dealt with it. Both of you will be punished for half a year." , if there is another time, dismissal and plead guilty! Do you two have any objections?"

Seeing that the salary was only paid for half a year, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief, knelt down and said: "Your Majesty is wise, I would like to obey the imperial edict."

Chongzhen went on to ask Dali Temple Minister: "If there is someone who harvests and cuts them, how will they plead guilty?"

The Minister of Dali Temple replied: "Your Majesty Qi Zuo, according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, the leader is Ling Chi, and the accomplices are beheaded. Whether the family members know about it or not, they have traveled two thousand miles away. If Li Zheng knows and does not report, he will be regarded as an accomplice and beheaded."

Chongzhen looked at Xu Liu and Wu Zhen who were pointed at by the knife, and said, "Can you two plead guilty? Do you have any objections?"

What objections do Xu Liu and Wu Zhen have?The two, who felt that they couldn't survive the punishment, pleaded guilty very happily: "The grassroots are guilty, and I beg the emperor to forgive me."

Chongzhen sneered, and said angrily: "I am kind to you, have you ever shown kindness to those children? I am afraid that human face and animal heart are not enough to describe what you have done?
