Unexpectedly, as soon as Wang Jiansheng's words fell, Jiang Feng also ordered his doglegs: "Call me, beat this gang of errands, and let them know that Ben Shao is not easy to mess with."
So the servants and the doglegs fought.After fighting for a while, Wang Jiansheng saw that the errands were all shrinking their hands and feet, and did not dare to beat hard, but the dog-legged men were extremely fierce, beating the errand officers fiercely, seeing that the errand officers were all injured and could not support it, Wang Jiansheng had to bite his teeth and shouted loudly: "Brothers, give me a hard beating, kill Jiang Feng, I, Wang Jiansheng, am responsible, and it is none of your business."
With this roar, the soldiers became bolder, and their strength came up, roaring angrily and rushing towards Jiang Feng, quickly knocking Jiang Feng down, and beating him for a while, until Jiang Feng stopped humming and couldn't move.Wang Jiansheng walked over and saw that Jiang Feng had been killed.killed Jiang Feng, Wang Jiansheng knew that he was in trouble.However, Wang Jiansheng also let it go, he thought, Jiang Feng is rampant in the township like this, lawless, careless of human life, he deserves to kill him, I don't wait for him Jiang Chen to find me, I will go to him Jiang Chen, explain things clearly, and see what he Jiang Chen should do?
Wang Jiansheng did not return to the county office, turned his head, and went directly to the Egyptian governor's palace to ask to see Jiang Chen.Wang Jiansheng told Jiang Feng about killing the grandmother, knocking the girl unconscious, and the servant killing Jiang Feng.Jiang Chen didn't wait for Wang Jiansheng to finish speaking, he slapped the table, his eyes widened, and he roared with spit in his mouth: "Wang Jiansheng, you are so bold, you dare to order someone to kill my son, straight mother thief, didn't you kid take Lao Jiang and me in your eyes?"
Isn't it because I, the governor, can't control you kid?
”Wang Jiansheng distinguished: "Your Excellency the Governor, I don't have the courage to kill your son, but your son is too lawless, he ran rampant in the countryside, killed the old grandmother, and resisted arrest, and the party that started the conflict was killed."
Jiang Chen said: "My son killed his grandmother, no matter what crime it is, and I, the governor, have it, what does it matter to you Wang Jiansheng, why did you kill my son?"
Wang Jiansheng was also anxious, he said loudly, "I am the criminal officer of Yimei, my grandmother is a citizen of Yimei County, your son killed the people of Yimei County in Yimei County, and I, the criminal officer, should be in charge."
Jiang Chen angrily pointed at Wang Jiansheng and said: "Okay, okay, Wang Jiansheng, you really have a kind, don't forget that you, the criminal officer, are also my subordinates, believe it or not, I will remove you?"
Wang Jiansheng raised his head and said: "When your son committed the murder, I was the criminal officer of Yimeiti, of course I had to take care of it; Now that I'm dismissed, I don't care, I'll go home and be a civilian. ”Seeing that Wang Jiansheng did not show weakness, Jiang Chen became angry and angry, and suddenly ordered his subordinates: "Push Wang Jiansheng out and behead him."
Wang Jiansheng was shocked, and immediately shouted: "Why do you behead me, according to which law, even if you are the governor, you have no right to kill me, only Your Majesty and Dali Temple can condemn me!"
Jiang Chen said: "I will rely on this governor, if you kill my son, I will behead you."
As he spoke, he ordered his subordinates: "Push Wang Jiansheng out and behead him."
But what Jiang Chen didn't expect was that his subordinates felt that they shouldn't kill Wang Jiansheng, so they answered, but didn't do it.Jiang Chen was furious and shouted: "If you don't do it, you will behead any of them."
In this way, they had no choice but to push Wang Jiansheng out and kill him.After Jiang Chen killed Wang Jiansheng, it aroused the anger of the people of Yimei County, and everyone jointly wrote a petition, recommending a representative to enter the imperial capital and complain directly to Emperor Li Lu.As soon as Li Lu heard this, he immediately ordered Di Renjie to take the lead, Jinyiwei, the General Administration of Integrity, the Ministry of Justice, Dali Temple and other major judicial departments to form a joint investigation agency to investigate and handle the case.At that time, Di Renjie and several other senior officials came to Yimei County together, seriously investigated, and found Jiang Feng's crimes clearly.believes that Wang Jiansheng, as a criminal officer of Yimeiti, should be the master of the people, Jiang Feng resisted arrest, fought against the errand service, and the errand soldier killed Jiang Feng in self-defense is not guilty.Jiang Chen's killing of Wang Jiansheng was revenge for personal gain, and he should be sentenced to death, only in this way can he be popular.After Di Renjie's report was sent to Li Lu, Li Lu read it several times and was speechless.He understood that Jiang Chen's murderous actions were very hateful; Jiang Chen killed Wang Jiansheng, and he was even more lawless, and Jiang Chen should be severely punished.Just when Li Lu ordered Jiang Chen to be heavily punished, many generals of the military wrote to intercede for Jiang Chen, they believed that Jiang Chen was a meritorious hero, and his merits could be completely avoided death, Li Lu also felt very reasonable after reading it, and said that Jiang Chen was his confidant and favorite general, so he came up with a compromise solution, not to kill Jiang Chen, to remove him from the post of governor of Egypt, and to appoint a local petty official.Unexpectedly, after Li Lu's decision was released, it caused a sensation in the government and the opposition, and the people of Yimei County were even more dissatisfied, and jointly filed a complaint, and many ministers of the imperial court also played to Li Lu, stating the reasons why Jiang Chen must be severely punished.Especially Di Renjie, he wrote to Li Lu, in which he wrote: "The king of the Holy Ming governs the country and suppresses rebellion, first of all, he must strictly enforce the law and discipline and respect the faithful.Liu Bangchu, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, entered the customs at the beginning of the three chapters of the law, and explicitly ordered the murderer to be sentenced to death.Now that Jiang Chen, as the governor of Egypt, he can't set an example, but takes revenge for personal gain and kills officials without permission, which is really a heavy crime, and killing is not enough to atone.There are many generals who have served the country and made outstanding achievements, and if meritorious heroes can be exempted from capital crimes if they commit crimes, then they will certainly connive at meritorious people to do whatever they want without regard to the laws of the country.If Jiang Chen is pardoned this time, and there will be meritorious heroes who will be punished and killed in the future, it will obviously mean that the laws and regulations are inconsistent and will cause public anger.If you pity a Jiang Chen and make a large number of people ignore the law, and finally have to be severely punished, the loss will be immeasurable.How can a governor who has committed such a crime not look at the overall situation and be sentenced according to the law?
The law is meant to be passed down from generation to generation, and Your Majesty must not violate the rule of law by showing a moment of pity. ”Li Lu read Di Renjie's report, pondered for a moment, and specially summoned several important ministers such as Xue Xiruo, the first assistant, into the palace together, and let the ministers discuss, and the ministers discussed for a while, and they all said to Li Lu: "The law is established, everyone must abide by it, even if it is an emperor, it cannot be disobeyed, taking Jiang Chen as an example, if Your Majesty does not kill him, where will the law be placed?"
Where do you place your prestige?
Your Majesty, Jiang Chen is not a sinner of your Majesty alone, but a sinner of the whole country, Your Majesty, you often say that the law is the final bottom line, since it is the bottom line, how can it be easily changed?"
Li Lu listened to the advice of the ministers and sentenced Jiang Chen to death.After Jiang Chen was executed, Li Lu issued another decree to set up a "monument of merit and crime" to Jiang Chen, and he said to the undertaker: "Write the inscription well, Jiang Chen's merits must be written clearly, and the rewards he received must also be written; The sins he committed must also be clearly written, and the punishment he has received must also be clearly written. ”After Jiang Chen's "Monument of Meritorious Crimes" was erected, many people watched it, and the education of people was also great.Since then, people have learned that meritorious service will be rewarded, and guilt must be punished, and that one cannot sin because of meritorious service.In particular, some people who are proud of their merits no longer dare to do anything wrong with meritorious service.
