Rise From the Humble

All doubts and dissatisfaction are scum in front of the hunting knife!

No matter how dissatisfied, unwilling or opposed the person who was awakened was, when Liu Dadao placed the hunting knife across the man's neck, the man still took off his shoes obediently.

"Damn, it stinks so much! It smells worse than fucking salted fish!"

Liu Dadao just picked up the shoes that the man took off, and he almost rolled his eyes because of the shoes. He quickly threw the shoes into the pile of shoes and gave the man a look of contempt.

It’s not like I want to take it off!

The man was full of dissatisfaction, but for the sake of the hunting knife, he shrank his neck and did not dare to say a word.

"Thank you, Brother Dadao." Seeing this, Zhu Ping'an smiled slightly and expressed his gratitude to Liu Dadao.

"My benefactor, why are you so polite to us?" Orion Liu Dadao grinned and shook his head repeatedly.

"Even benefactor, this is what we should do." Other hunters also said.

"Brothers, I just said that it was you who saved me." Zhu Pingan put down the branch and said. Seeing the excited faces of the hunters who wanted to refute, he couldn't help but touched his head and said helplessly, "Uh, okay. , okay, but then don’t call me benefactor, just call me Ping An Lang.”

"No, we can't scream."

"That's right, how can that be done? How can we call our benefactor by his name?" The hunters shook their heads repeatedly, "If the village elders are still here, they will definitely scold us for not knowing etiquette."

Regarding the issue of title, from "Benefactor" to "Sir", the two parties finally reached an agreement and designated Zhu Pingan as "Gongzi".

During the exchange, Zhu Pingan and the six hunters got to know each other better. The leader of the six hunters, the scar-faced hunter, was called Liu Mu. He was the most skilled among them and the most outstanding hunter in their mountain village; Duo, he is familiar with people. The hunter who seems to be more active is called Liu Dadao. He was the one who woke up the two people who fainted by peeing just now. The other four hunters have similar names to Liu Dadao, and they are all familiar to elders with little cultural ink. They were named after their weapons, hoping that they would become good hunting experts in their village in the future. Their names are Liu Daqiang, Liu Dachui, Liu Daxe and Liu Dagang.

In comparison, only Liu Mu's name sounds more serious.

These six hunters arrived in the capital not long ago. They secretly returned to the village at the foot of Yunmeng Mountain to bury their folks and family members, and then returned in a hurry.

They are still guilty! This time we went back to the village to bury the villagers in secret.

At the beginning, Zhao Baihu killed a good man and pretended to have merit, killing all the old and young in the village, and took all their heads and pretended to be Tatars to report their merits. More than ten hunters returned from the battlefield and met Mr. Liu who survived when he went out to fetch water. After knowing the truth, they naturally Unwilling to give up, he went to the county government office to beat drums and complain about his injustice, suing hundreds of households that Zhao Daying had a human face and a beast heart, and harmed the women, children, old and young in the whole village.

However, Zhao Baihu had great power behind him and was protected by officials. In the end, the county magistrate ruled that the women, children, and children in the village were killed by the Tatars. hero.

The ancient law has always been "false accusations will lead to death". The meaning of "false accusations and false accusations" is very simple, that is, if it is proven that you deliberately fabricated facts and falsely accused others, then the government will punish you for the crime you falsely accused them of. For example, Zhang San accuses Li Si of intentional homicide. If it is proved to be a false accusation, Li Si is not guilty, and Zhang San himself will be punished by the government for murder.

False accusations lead to false accusations. This law was first established in the Qin Dynasty and was inherited by all dynasties. It was further developed and added a new paragraph, "Anyone who falsely accuses a person of merit will be punished by an additional level." Merit refers to officials who are "scholars" and above.

The Ming Dynasty was no exception. Zhu Yuanzhang, the great ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, paid great attention to the rule of law and governed the country. On the basis of inheriting the previous dynasty's rule of false accusation and rebellion, he further increased the punishment for the crime of false accusation. The chapter "Fighting Litigation" in the "Laws of the Ming Dynasty" stipulates: "Anyone who falsely accuses others will be flogged." Those who falsely accuse others of being sentenced to imprisonment, exile, or caning will be charged with the third-degree crime of false accusation. The maximum punishment is a rod of one hundred and three thousand miles."

The Orions sued Zhao Daying for killing the entire village, and the county magistrate ruled that Zhao Daying was not guilty, so the Orions who complained were false accusations! According to the provisions of the Ming Dynasty Law, false accusations should be dismissed and people should be punished according to the conviction and punishment of murderers.

Law of the Ming Dynasty: Those who kill, die!

As a result, all the hunters who came to sue hundreds of households against Zhao Daying were sentenced to death and sent to prison to wait for execution in the autumn.

Six of them, Liu Mu and Liu Dadao, were lucky enough to escape when they went to buy paper money, candles and other commemorative items for their fellow villagers who died unjustly. After hearing the news, they escaped overnight. On the way, he was chased by Zhao Daying from hundreds of families several times. He fled for dozens of miles and entered the mountains to escape. Then there was the scene where he met Zhu Ping'an in the mountains on the outskirts of Beijing.

The reason why the county magistrate sentenced the execution after autumn was because of the ancient saying: "The king is in harmony with the sky, which is called his way. The sky has four seasons, and the king has four political affairs. If the four seasons are similar, they are common in the world. Celebrating spring, Rewards are summer, punishments are autumn, punishments are winter. Rewards, punishments and punishments are indispensable in celebration, just like spring, summer, autumn and winter are indispensable." The ancients paid special attention to following nature and complying with the weather. In spring, everything revives, the grass grows and orioles fly, and in summer All things grow and are full of vitality, spring and summer are the time when all things grow; leaves wither in autumn and winter, full of desolate atmosphere; the system of the world should also comply with the will of God, with rewards in spring and summer and executions in autumn and winter.

"Ming Huidian" clearly stipulates: "Execution of heavy-duty prisoners must be done after Autumn, otherwise it will hurt business." In other words, heavy-duty prisoners must be executed after Autumn.

Therefore, the county magistrate decided to "behead the prisoner and execute him in the autumn."

Now, the few hunters imprisoned in the local county jail have not yet been executed. Theoretically speaking, there is still a glimmer of hope.

Therefore, Liu Mu, Liu Dadao and the others buried their fathers and fellow villagers and immediately returned to the capital, trying to save their relatives in prison by filing a petition. However, when they tried to file a petition, they found that there was no way to file a petition. Let alone complain, they can't even enter the imperial city. In fact, they couldn't even enter the Penal Department Yamen, and they were driven away by the guards even if they got close. In addition, they are still guilty, and their identities and identities are all problems.

Of course, it was not without some gain. When they were running into obstacles and almost despairing, they learned that Zhu Ping'an had impeached Zhao Daying from a hundred households.

Originally, after they had prepared the matter, they spent their whole lives repaying Zhu Ping'an's kindness. Now that they heard that Zhu Pingan risked his career to impeach Zhao Daying for the sake of their village, they were even more conquered by Zhu Pingan's charisma in asking for orders for the people.

For the sake of their relatives in prison and to repay their kindness, six hunters began to ask people about Zhu Ping'an like headless flies in the capital.

By chance, I heard Zhu Pingan's voice on the way, which led to today's scene.
