Lin Tailai originally wanted to stay in Mudu Town for a few more days. Victory in today's battle is just the beginning.
There are many things I want to do next, and choosing a location to open customs is just one of them.
He also wanted to approach Gaofeng in the west to view Taihu Lake and see the bleak spring breeze and the rising waves!
He also wanted to summon nearby church members to form an alliance with Mudu!
And I heard that Lingyan Mountain next to Mudu Town is the former site of Guanwa Palace, one of Fucha's two palaces. Maybe I should engrave some poems to get some historical interest.
But just as Lin finished reciting poems at Wangjiang Pavilion, a clerk who stayed at Xumenwai's headquarters took a boat overnight to report the news.
"At the request of the Yamen Association, Suzhou Guards dispatched 300 elite soldiers, under the command of Xumen, Commander-in-Chief Nian!
Now we have troops stationed at Xumen, waiting to be captured immediately after returning from sitting in the palace!"
After hearing the news, all the close friends around Lin Zuiguan changed their faces.
But Lin Tailai laughed out loud and asked inexplicably:
"This military attache guarding Xumen is actually named Nian?"
Immediately, Lin Siguan stood up and ordered: "The rest of the troops will continue to clean up here. The troops from our headquarters outside Xumen will return to the division immediately with me!"
Someone advised: "The situation in the city is unclear now, so there is no need to go back in such a hurry while sitting in the restaurant."
Lin Zuoguan laughed "Haha" and said: "It's because the situation is unclear, so I have to rush back as soon as possible!
If everything is clear, then why go back and do it?”
On the way back to the city, Gao Changjiang, who prided himself on being a scholar, felt tired and couldn't help complaining:
"It's true that your words came true. You just said that leisure is worse than fame and wealth, but in the end you really can't rest anymore."
While they were talking, the group of people arrived at the dock outside Xumen in the afternoon.
The Shenwei Lieshui with the "Lin" flag flying was so eye-catching that as soon as it docked, three hundred officers and soldiers in red coats blocked the dock.
The leader was a middle-aged military attaché, probably the most senior general of the Xu family.
As soon as Lin Zaiguan poked his head out of the boat, Mr. Nian shouted:
"Lin Tailai! I have been ordered to arrest you! Should you come down by yourself, or should we go up?"
Feeling a little sleepy in the afternoon, Lin Tailai yawned and asked, "Sir, do you want me to resist arrest, or do you want me to just raise my hands and be arrested?"
Mr. Nian Ba replied: "If you resist arrest, then be a human being and keep a straight line, so that we can meet each other easily in the world!"
If you raise your hands and are detained, then I will accept your kindness and take the credit!"
The people watching the excitement were all shocked. The officers and soldiers were dispatched to arrest people. How could they ever be so polite?
Probably it was Lin Daguan who was known as Jinbu who got this treatment!
After all, if Lin Daguan and his men exerted their full combat effectiveness, at least dozens of these officers and soldiers would be killed or injured.
No one of a group of soldiers who earn nine cents a month wants to be one of the dozens of casualties.
Lin Tailai laughed a few times and jumped off the boat. He raised his hands and said to Mr. Nian:
"Then I'll give this credit to you! Catch me and take me to the Yamen!"
Mr. Nian didn't take any measures for Lin Daguan. He said, "That's where the responsibilities lie." Then he surrounded Lin Tailai and entered the Xumen.
At this time, Magistrate Deng of Wuxian County was judging a case in the county government hall, and a group of idlers were gathered around the door of the court hall to watch the excitement.
Suddenly seeing officers and soldiers sending Lin Tailai over, Magistrate Deng felt both regret and joy in his heart.
Unfortunately, Lin Tailai did not resist arrest and escape, and got more and bigger charges;
Fortunately, Lin Tailai finally went to court, which was his absolute domain as a county magistrate!
No matter how hard your heart is, you can't resist the law!
Ignoring other matters, Magistrate Deng immediately asked the clerk to move out the case files, took pictures of the panic, and shouted to Lin Tailai: "Do you know the crime?"
Lin Daguan also answered very skillfully: "What crime do you have?"
Magistrate Deng continued to shout: "Yang Zhen, a citizen of Mudu Town, is suing you for forcing his wife to rape her to death. Can you plead guilty?"
Of course Lin Daguan denied it and said: "There is absolutely no such thing!"
Magistrate Deng scolded: "The prisoner still dares to quibble? Dozens of people heard with their own ears that you told Yang Zhen about his wife He's outstanding appearance, and also said to Yang Zhen that I will support your wife!"
Lin Daguan tried to retort: "Don't you, the county magistrate, listen to you and think it's false?"
Magistrate Deng did not listen to the excuse and said directly: "After my investigation and judgment, He's suicide is directly related to your words!
You ruined the reputation of others with your words, and then He committed suicide behind you!
It can be said that there is persecution first, and then there are lives!”
Official Lin suddenly interrupted Magistrate Deng and said impatiently:
"Now that the county has made the decision, let's stop talking nonsense and pronounce the verdict directly!"
Magistrate Deng was puzzled. He had never seen anyone so anxious to be convicted.
"Did you plead guilty?" Magistrate Deng couldn't help but ask.
Official Lin said frankly: "No matter whether I plead guilty or not, it will not change the county judge's sentence.
The county magistrate has already made a decision in his heart, why do you still care whether I plead guilty or not?"
County Magistrate Deng was angry and said: "You bastard! I enforce the law impartially and cannot tolerate your slander here!"
Official Lin raised his head and looked at the sun outside the court hall, urging:
"I would like to ask the county magistrate, who enforces the law impartially, to make a judgment quickly. I am in a hurry! I don't have much time to waste in the county government hall."
Deng Zhi County: "."
The people who were waiting outside the court to watch the excitement also couldn’t figure out why Mr. Lin was so proactive in waiting to be sentenced.
When things go out of the ordinary, they become monsters, and the attitude of Lin Daguan also made Deng Zhixian unpredictable.
Lin Daguan, who was waiting impatiently, was surprised: "No way? No way? Does it mean that the county magistrate doesn't know how to sentence you because you don't know the name of the punishment?"
In fact, I can all tell the county magistrate that in cases of attempted rape and forced death, the lighter punishment is one hundred rods and three thousand miles of exile! The heavier punishment is hanging!
The county magistrate should hurry up and write down the sentence! It’s getting late!”
Magistrate Deng was originally thinking about it, but he didn't expect Lin Tailai to keep urging him, and he suddenly felt angry and evil!
He immediately wrote a verdict and sentenced Lin Tailai to a hundred punishments and three thousand miles of exile.
It wasn't that Magistrate Deng didn't want a harsher sentence of hanging, but because he couldn't wait any longer.
Hanging is a type of death penalty, and under the judicial system of the Ming Dynasty, the death penalty has to be reviewed all the way to the Ministry of Punishment, and the execution process is very long.
As for the stick of one hundred, the flow of three thousand is relatively simple. After reporting to the government for approval, it can be implemented immediately.
After the verdict was read, Magistrate Deng said unceremoniously: "Put Lin Tailai in jail!"
This is a judicial custom. After the verdict is made in court, the guilty party will be sent to jail until the punishment is executed.
"Wait a minute!" Officer Lin shouted, "I am an official from Hushu Pass, the chief official who has been ordered to open a sub-pass!
If you want to imprison me, please inform the king’s tax envoy first!”
After finishing speaking, Officer Lin turned around and hurried out, as if he didn't want to stay for a moment longer.
Deng Zhixian was in a trance and had the illusion that Lin Tailai's attitude when he came to the county government this time was as if he was just punching in.
All I have to do is write "I'm here for a visit" on the pillars of the court hall.
After all, Deng Zhixian did not forcefully stop the arrest, and even secretly hoped that Lin Tailai would escape the crime.
Lin Daguan, who was sentenced to three thousand miles of exile, came out of the county government office. He refused to stay for a moment and hurried to the government office in the next street.
As if he was seizing time, Lin Tailai jogged all the way.
This made the officers and soldiers who were guarding him suspect that Mr. Lin was trying to escape.
But seeing that Lin Daguan was not running out of the city, he felt relieved again.
When I came to the gate of the Suzhou government office, I found the drum. Lin Daguan stretched out his hand and wanted to play the drum.
The yamen servant next to him reminded: "Although you are Lin Tailai, you can't file a complaint beyond your level. You have to go to the county yamen first!"
Lin Daguan complained: "I have just been sentenced to three thousand miles of exile by the county government! I can only go to the government office to complain about my grievances, which is not considered overstepping my rank!"
Fuyamen servant: "???"
After working in the Yamen for so long, this is the first time I see someone running around outside after being sentenced to a severe sentence.
Official Lin was about to beat the drum vigorously to complain, but he was stopped by the government officials.
"Don't knock, don't knock! I'll send you directly to the official master!"
The yamen officer then explained: "The last time you played the drum in Changzhou County, you broke the drum. It cost the yamen officer two months of his own work and food money to repair the drum!"
The structure and system of the government yamen are very different from those of the county yamen. A seventh-grade official is specially set up to take charge of judicial and criminal matters.
Lin Tailai was sent to the official's office and shouted to Liu, "I have an appeal for grievances!"
It was also the first time Liu Tuiguan had seen such a person who had been sentenced to a heavy sentence and still ran around outside.
Generally, criminals who come to the prosecutor's office to complain about their injustice are taken into prison and then transferred to the government's official prosecutor's office along with their case files.
How could Lin Tailai be like this? He had just been sentenced to a heavy sentence, and in the blink of an eye he showed up at the government office to appeal.
Wu County is too irresponsible. How can we let serious criminals run around in society?
Liu Tuiguan felt that such a strange matter was beyond his control and he had to report it to the prefect immediately.
Please give me a monthly pass for June, my new book needs the support of list exposure!! All the fun is coming!
