Chapter 236: Under Judgment This move has no disadvantages.
All civil servants in the Huai'an army, whether those who were forced to join like Lu Luzeng or those who were selected through the imperial examination to work under Zhu Bayi, hated the mention of the cruelty of the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasty.
It is very tempting for them to establish a system different from that of the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties to eliminate the negative influence of the Mongols on China.
Almost every time Zhu Bayi proposed it, he received excellent results.
This time, the results were also immediate.
After everyone heard this, they immediately felt that the criminal laws formulated this time were indeed greatly influenced by the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasty.
There is no trace of the tolerance and benevolence of the two Song Dynasties.
They all blushed and responded in a low voice: "My lord is right, corporal punishment is rare in Song Dynasty law, but if the wartime laws are too loose..."
"It's nothing but yes, military law and civil law are different.
This time we have enacted civil law, and it doesn't matter if it is a little looser.
Moreover, Zhu has always believed that the law does not care about leniency, but whether it is appropriate and whether it can be executed fairly.
If If someone just says something, they will bend the law for personal gain.
Or if law enforcement is always different from person to person, no matter how strict the law is, it will be a pile of waste paper.
On the contrary, if everything follows the rules and the prince breaks the law and the people are equally guilty, the people will naturally be convinced, even if they are a little more tolerant.
People are willing to go to prison and have fun.
What do you think?"
"This" everyone was once again shocked by Zhu Bayi's novel statement.
My own general manager has this advantage.
Although he always comes up with some weird ideas, he can always justify them.
And it sounds quite similar to that, making it hard for people to refute.
Little did they know that Zhu Bayi's body still contained memories of another world at this moment.
In that world five hundred years later, the Chinese are opening their eyes and absorbing the world's knowledge and spiritual heritage without distinguishing between good and bad.
Anyone with a high school education or above receives a variety of information from different regions of the world every day and is impacted by various social trends.
They cannot refuse even if they want to.
In other words, at this moment, Zhu Ba Shi had a huge library in his mind.
Although much of the knowledge is incomplete, only fragmented, and even contradictory to each other, the scope of the discussion exceeds that of any library in the late Yuan Dynasty.
When it comes to dealing with human affairs and political intrigue, any civil servant under his command, and even some military generals, are no worse than him.
But in terms of profound knowledge and wide-ranging knowledge, all the scholars in the entire Huai'an army combined cannot surpass him.
It was the result of seven hundred years of human evolution, which also involved exchanges between the East and the West, the collision of ancient ideological trends and modern culture, and the Chinese civilization's adjustment to itself and its adaptation to the entire world after going through many catastrophes.
Unless Lu Luzeng and others also travel through time, we will never be able to reach the same height.
Have the same accumulation of knowledge.
"That's it, let's try my idea.
If it doesn't work, we can change it in a few years.
Anyway, our Huai'an Army has just been established, and we don't have any ancestral methods."
Seeing that everyone was so pleased with what he said, Zhu Bayi continued to knock on the bricks.
Nail feet.
The Huai'an Army has neither historical baggage nor any set future direction.
So I am not very reluctant to try something new that I have never seen before.
Zhu Bayi is currently in this group and has already established absolute authority through victory one after another.
Therefore, after everyone advised them, they conditionally accepted his point of view.
Then after some bargaining, a preliminary draft of the criminal law was finally finalized.
Among the five types of capital punishments: mutilation, chopping, beheading, hanging, and beating, mutilation with thousands of knives and carnage were completely cancelled, because in the years when the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties were in power, fewer and fewer people were sentenced to these two punishments.
The Huai'an Army Claiming to be a master of civilization, of course it cannot be more barbaric than the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties.
The other three items, however, did not go as Zhu Bayi wished and directly merged into one.
In the view of Lu Luzeng and others, death with a complete body and death without a complete body are two completely different treatments.

Therefore, for those who commit great crimes and commit great evil, their heads must be removed in order to serve as a warning to others.
Hanging was only used for those who were implicated and sentenced to death, or those who were executed under various other circumstances.
As for poison, it belongs to the treatment of meritorious ministers or well-educated celebrities, and ordinary people have no right to enjoy it.
Zhu Bayi had nothing to do about this.
Maybe hundreds of years later, in Zhu Dapeng's world, it would be a complete joke to classify a death sentence into three, six or nine.
But in the world in front of him, he was limited by people's thinking patterns, and he couldn't completely follow his own temper.
Instead, the punishments of mutilation, mutilation and mutilation were replaced by fines, and everyone accepted it very smoothly.
This is also a major contribution to the Mongolian rulers.
During their more than seventy years of rule, the government has always only valued money and not been unreasonable.
The social status of big businessmen, relatively speaking, has improved compared to the Song Dynasty.
Therefore, spending money to atone for sins has long been considered acceptable among the people.
Zhu Bayi does not need to expend any effort to implement it.
Since leg-breaking and castration can be replaced by jail time and fines, other types of more minor corporal punishments that are purely for the purpose of humiliation and punishment are more likely to be cancelled.
In this way, the entire criminal law has been greatly simplified.
In the end, Lu Luzeng only had two or three thin pages left in his hand, which were simpler and clearer than the criminal laws of any era since the Wei and Jin Dynasties.
"When Emperor Gaozu entered Guanzhong, he abolished the punishment of Qin Dynasty and only made a three-chapter agreement with his father."
Looking at the few thin pages he had rearranged in his hand, the old Jinshi couldn't help but sigh.
As a person who has served as an official at both local and central levels, he never thought that one day, there would be so few methods and tricks for punishing criminals.
It's so rare that the county magistrate doesn't even need to hire a famous criminal master, he can just read the book by himself and judge the case without hesitation.
"I will issue it tomorrow and let the officials at all levels follow this in the future."
Zhu Bayi has been a bit impatient recently and likes to do everything in one go.
"When Zhang Mingjian and others are tried in public, this sentence will also be followed.
Lest they feel that our Huai'an army is unfair."
"Yes" Lu Luzeng and others accepted the order.
"Has the venue been cleared?
Who will be responsible for interrogating them?
If there is no one, Zhu will be the chief interrogator himself."
Zhu Bayi thought for a while and continued to ask.
"My lord, you must not do it!"
Lu Luzeng, Chen Ji and others all tried to dissuade him.
"It's empty on all sides and crowded with people.
If there are rebel soldiers nearby who slip through the net, or assassins sent by the Meng Yuan side, I will die without redemption."
This reason is not sufficient.
Zhu Bayi shook his head slightly, "As for that, our guards are not decorations."
"No matter how good your martial arts skills are, who can guard against a big shot?"
All the staff still tried to dissuade him in unison, refusing to let Zhu Ba11 be the chief judge no matter what.
They have all seen the power of the big gun.
Although it is difficult to shoot accurately, within a distance of two hundred steps, one bullet will definitely kill you.
In addition, the grenades commonly used by the Red Turban Army themselves are also surprisingly powerful.
In the current chaotic state, no one can be sure whether these things have passed through the hands of other red scarf princes and spread to the imperial court.
Zhu Bayi argued for a long time, but still couldn't make everyone understand.
He had no choice but to give up his plan of being the chief trial officer and handed over the task of trial to Luo Ben, who joined the army.
The latter is within the Huai'an Army, and most of the time he is responsible for joining the army.
Therefore, he is not unfamiliar with how to resolve cases.
After asking Zhu Bayi and Lu Luzeng for some precautions, they started to prepare.

Three days later, the trial was held in an open space cleared in advance in front of the ruins of the original Yangzhou government office.
Because they had been notified in advance, the refugees in Yangzhou City crowded around them.
Some smart people even came a night in advance to take up good positions and built several benches with bricks and wood.
Then they were sold to those who had a deep hatred for Zhang Mingjian at the price of ten copper coins per seat, and they actually made a small sum, enough to buy food and eat for several days.
"Come here, bring Zhang Mingjian."
Luo Ben, who joined the army, slapped the crowd with his hand and shouted loudly, imitating the appearance of Mr.
Qingtian in the opera.
"Bring Zhang Mingjian, bring Zhang Mingjian, be mighty."
The Yangzhou city government officials who were temporarily summoned from the victims opened their voices and sang "Tangwei" very professionally.
Soon, Zhang Mingjian was taken out of prison and dragged into the trial court.
A burst of angry shouts immediately broke out among the surrounding people, and countless people held up stones and bricks and pushed forward desperately.
Thanks to Huai'an's military preparations, they sent out enough soldiers and built a wall with their bodies and shields on the innermost side, so they were not swarmed by the crowd and beat the criminals to death.
"Kill him, kill this inhumane dog thief" "Cut to pieces with a thousand cuts, cut this thief into pieces with a thousand cuts."
"Master Qingtian, you must definitely chop him up."
Unable to take revenge with their own hands, the people could only cry loudly outside the circle.
Some government officials whose families had been victims also had red eyes and gritted their teeth.
As soon as Robben said the word "fight", he rushed over and gave Zhang Mingjian a killing blow.
After Zhang Mingjian was captured alive by Zhizhou Li Song and his men, he knew long ago that he was in doom.
Therefore, he deliberately pretended to be a bachelor before, hoping to take advantage of the opportunity of being tried in public to act like a hero again.
At this moment, when I heard the roar of landslides and tsunamis around me, I couldn't help but tremble in my heart.
The heroic spirit that had been brewing for a long time was gone.
Before Luo Ben could ask questions, he knelt down and shouted loudly, "The guilty general Zhang Mingjian, please pay homage to General Manager Zhu.
Please, General Manager Zhu, for the sake of you and me being military generals, please give the guilty general a good time."
I will be grateful to Mr.
Zhu for his great kindness."
"Cut him, chop this inhuman dog thief" "Cut to pieces with a thousand cuts, cut this thief into pieces with a thousand cuts."
The people around him became even more furious when they saw that Zhang Mingjian suddenly became so cowardly.
Waving the bricks and wooden blocks in his hands, he continued to roar loudly.
"Quiet!"
The chief judge, Robben, was stunned and shouted loudly.
"Mighty, Mighty, Mighty" Yangzhou city government officials, who were temporarily summoned from the victims, beat the ground with fire sticks and sang "Mighty Might", and soon suppressed the noise around them.
Seeing that the people gradually stopped making noise, Luo Ben, who joined the army, cupped his hands in the direction of the commander's tent and said loudly, "You are mistaken.
I am Luo Ben, Mingfa who works under General Manager Zhu's account.
You don't dare to pretend to be my general manager."
"You, you are not Zhu, Manager Zhu."
Zhang Mingjian heard this and immediately felt humiliated.
He struggled to stand up.
Immediately, two government officials rushed over and hit his kneecaps hard with water and fire sticks, knocking him to the ground again.
"Good fight, Yi Ge is good with the stick" "Brother First, when we make money from the canal next spring, we will treat you to a drink."
Immediately there was another round of cheers all around, applauding the government servant who beat the man.
Robben, who joined the army, was so angry that he was stunned again, "Don't make loud noises and you, who asked you to hit him?
If he wants to stand, just let him stand and talk.
Our Huai'an army does not kneel present" "Ah, yes, yes, I know I am wrong, I know I am wrong, please forgive me, please forgive me, please forgive me, please forgive me."
Hearing this, "Yi Ge", the beating yamen servant, quickly raised his hands to apologize.
"Pull him up!"

Robben didn't want to argue with a yamen servant.
He glared at him and ordered loudly.
"Yes, yes."
Two government officials, one on the left and one on the right, lifted Zhang Mingjian from the ground.
Zhang Mingjian just suffered a loss, and his two kneecaps hurt like needles.
Not daring to talk about seniority anymore, he raised his hand to Robben and thanked him loudly, "Thank you, thank you Mr.
Luo.
The guilty general Zhang Mingjian, I just want to die today, please give Mr.
Luo a happy life.
Don't let the guilty general come back again."
Being humiliated by these villains” "As long as you answer my words carefully, I promise that no one will humiliate you again before you are convicted."
Robben, who joined the army, glanced at him and nodded with a smile.
"Come here, bring Zhang Mingjian a brick and ask him to sit down."
"This is it."
The government officials hesitantly agreed.
With full of confusion, they took out a huge blue brick from the ruins and placed it on the ground to serve as a seat for Zhang Mingjian.
Zhang Mingjian also didn't expect that he would still be qualified to sit and talk today.
His mind immediately became active.
He glanced at Robben secretly, and then looked at the side of the presiding judge.
He saw the old Yangzhou people sitting in a row.
He raised his chained hands and bowed to salute: "Master Luo and all the elders."
In front of me, where is the seat of the guilty general?
Just ask Mr.
Luo, and the guilty general will answer truthfully."
"Okay."
Luo Ben was not polite about joining the army.
He knocked on the table with the gavel and asked in a deep voice, "Zhang Mingjian, I want to ask you about the case of rioters looting Yangzhou and committing murder and arson on the 18th of last month.
Are there any other co-defendants who were involved in the case?
Who have you appointed?
Please recruit them truthfully
