Chapter 6 Yunzhao, bastard——(2)
After Bao Laoliu went on a business trip, he was not very willing to go home, because if he went home, he would have to pass by Old Man Mei's house .
Lantian County has not seen such strange things as death row prisoners for a long time.
Everyone is busy making money, who has time to commit crimes in the robber's den.
Yes, this is how the people of Lantian County describe themselves.
In this city that prides itself on being a bandit, people actually live a very peaceful life.
This is also true. When there is a robber in the middle of a group, any case will appear. When a group of people are all robbers, it is like a group of people who are all good people and can get along well.
Bao Laoliu actually felt a little guilty. He felt that he should not tease this damn Mei Chengwu.
It's not like he hasn't teased him on weekdays. He always bows his head and admits his mistakes, and everyone just laughs and gets over it. But today, I don't know what he is crazy about.
However, as a police officer, this feeling of guilt goes away as quickly as it comes.
After eating a large bowl of wontons in sour soup and drinking a corner of wine, he forgot about the matter.
Old police officers in the past said that when you are a police officer, your heart cannot be softened. Therefore, over the years, Bao Laoliu has trained his heart to be hard and ruthless.
When people enter the Sentence Department, they cannot see anyone until the verdict is announced. This is the rule.
However, there are not many people who are qualified to join the Shenxing Division. At least Bao Laoliu met Mei Chengwu.
It seems that the Liang family’s grain wine was not mixed with water today. After drinking a dime, Bao Laoliu felt a little dizzy.
As I staggered home, I finally passed by Old Man Mei’s house.
A black curtain has been hung on the door of his house, and there are messy paper money on the ground. The woman's cry in the yard is like a ghost, which makes Bao Laoliu very upset.
When passing by the open gate, Bao Laoliu glanced inside and found that Mei Chengwu's four-year-old son was running around the yard wearing heavy mourning, and he was laughing loudly.
"They are as heartless as Mei Chengwu."
Bao Laoliu hurriedly walked past Old Man Mei's house with his head lowered. He didn't want to be seen by Old Man Mei. I don’t want to be seen by the people in the yard.
"Even if he captured Cheng Wu, Bao Laoliu, you heartless man, you have eaten my family's ice cream for so many years, and you can't let Cheng Wu be spared?"
Mei Chengwu, a tall and thick Shandong daughter-in-law, has very sharp eyes. Even when she is crying, she can see and listen in all directions.
As soon as he saw Bao Laoliu, he rushed over to him crying, as if he wanted to tear Bao Laoliu alive.
Bao Laoliu couldn't afford to offend this woman, so he ran away...
When he returned home, his father pulled him into the house, closed the door, and put Mei Chengwu's After asking about the matter thoroughly, Lao Bao also sighed and felt thatDemei Chengwu is dead.
Unlike the Mei Chengwu family, the Bao Laoliu family are pure Lantian locals.
The emperor is actually a narrow-minded person. Others don't know this, but the people of Lantian County know it very well.
When the emperor first became a bandit, he could not see any other bandits in Lantian County. He started to eliminate them one by one. After the bandits in Lantian County were eliminated, his family was the only one left. The robbers from the county took action.
It is the rule of the green forest that everyone eats meat and drinks wine. However, since the emperor became a robber, he has killed a hundred times more robbers than the officers and soldiers.
In short, after he became a robber, there should be no other robbers in the world.
Sure enough, the emperor killed almost all the bandits in the world. Those who were lucky enough to survive are now living in a life worse than death.
Not only the robbers, but also the wealthy households in Lantian County. Among the four wealthy households in the four famous towns of Lantian in the past, except for the Yun family, which is still the richest in the world, the other three have long since declined. I don’t know where it went.
Therefore, Mei Chengwu was dead. No emperor could tolerate others scolding him in the street.
For this reason, the emperors also formulated an extremely strict law called - disrespectful!
It is said that someone who steals an object that is used by a great sacrificial god, and rides on a chariot to serve the emperor, says - it is disrespectful and should be beheaded!
Stealing and counterfeiting imperial treasures, combining imperial medicines, mistakenly not being as good as the original prescription and wrongly titled the title - disrespectful, should be executed!
If you make imperial meals and violate the food prohibition by mistake - it is disrespectful and you should be beheaded.
The Yuxing boat was mistakenly not stable and said - it is disrespectful and should be beheaded!
Criticizing Cheng Yu, being emotionally and rationally harmful to the defenders, but not having the courtesy of being a minister: "It is disrespectful and should be executed!"
This time, Mei Chengwu violated the last one, criticizing the public, being emotionally and rationally harmful to the defenders, and not being courteous.
Bao Laoliu's family has been a policeman for many years. His father, Old Bao, used to be a famous criminal in Lantian County, and he is very familiar with the laws of the country.
After a little analysis of Mei Chengwu’s crime, I know that no matter what the punishment department decides, the lightest punishment is to leave Mei Chengwu’s body intact.
"Dad, are you talking about Zhu Ming's law?"
Old man Bao smiled bitterly and said: "There have been many laws since ancient times, but no matter what the laws are, Change, but this one has not changed since ancient times."
Bao Laoliu said irritably: "Death is death, it is very annoying."
After that, he said. Just went to bed.
That night, Bao Laoliu couldn't sleep.
At dawn, Bao Laoliu had to go on an errand again. When he passed by Mei Chengwu's house again, he found that only Mei Chengwu's family was left in the yard.
It's wrong to be so deserted, but a funeral without a body is not decent either.
Bao Laoliu specially chose to patrol near the Shenxing Division today.
Most of the doors of other yamen are vermilion doors. Only the door of Shenxingsi Yamen is black. Not only the door is black, but also the door nails on the door are black.
The door knocker was held in the mouth of a brass lion. It looked ferocious. Bao Laoliu looked at it for a long time, but he didn’t see anyone taking pictures of the door knocker. There were only some people in Tsing Yi. Male and female officials came in and out through the side door.
These people are very serious, with basically no smiles on their faces.
In Bao Laoliu's eyes, this side door was like the gaping mouth of a beast.
Sitting with one leg on the table of Hou Dacheng’s house selling jelly, he threw a fried soybean into his mouth and chewed it tastelessly.
When Hou Dacheng saw that Bao Laoliu was always staring at the door of the Shenxing Division and sitting at his table, he said angrily: "That's the Shenxing Division official office. Why don't you recognize me?" Or are you going to arrest an official, tie him up with a thin iron chain, and send him to your prison?"
Bao Laoliu looked at Hou Dacheng and said, "Do you know the prisoner who was sent in yesterday?"
p>
As soon as Hou Dacheng heard that Bao Laoliu was about to start a long story, he quickly brought a bowl of big leaf tea and placed it next to Bao Laoliu and said, "Tell me."
Bao Laoliu said lightly. Taking a sip from the big bowl of tea, he whispered: "Yesterday, the emperor's car just passed by. Mei Chengwu, the ice cream seller, actually opened his mouth to scold the emperor, and he scolded so loudly that the street was full of people. Everyone heard it.
I will be arrested and sent to the Sentence Department."
Hou Dacheng looked at Bao Laoliu and said, "You caught him and sent him?"
Bao Laoliu said: "There is no way, it's my responsibility."
"Why did you scold me?"
"Yun...Hou Dacheng, I** !”
Bao Laoliu’s face turned red.
Hou Dacheng looked at Bao Laoliu coldly and said: "You are clever, if you dare to learn it, grandpa will send you to the punishment department, and your conscience will be eaten by dogs. ?
They are all neighbors. Who doesn’t know who is who? Mei Chengwu is a weakling who can’t be beaten with three sticks. Isn’t it because he is bullied that he talks nonsense? < /p>
You guys are so evil, you know clearly that Mei Chengwu made an honest mistake, and everyone in the street heard it, but you are the only ones who are selfless.
The Emperor cannot hear Mei. Cheng Wu scolded him, so you just pretended not to hear.
As for taking a life because of one sentence?
You are immoral. Let's do it."
As he spoke, he pushed Bao Laoliu off the table and pushed him out of his shed.
Mei Chengwu was lying on the straw bedding, looking eagerly at the men in Tsing Yi who kept passing by him. Unfortunately, these men in Tsing Yi ignored him and kept carrying things out of the depths of the prison. Some people sent these people back after a while.
The straw bed was quite dry, but there was an uneven spot on the floor of the cell.A small ant nest.
Mei Chengwu, who was bored, lay on the bed and watched the ants coming in and out.
Mei Chengwu regretted it very much at this time.
He also felt that he would not survive.
I don’t know how my parents and wife are doing now, but Mei Chengwu feels sorry for them.
When it gets dark, the cell is also dark. No matter how wide Mei Chengwu opens his eyes, he can't see clearly the ants on the ground. Maybe these ants have to sleep at night.
After staring until dawn, then until sunrise, and finally until afternoon, Mei Chengwu finally saw a man in Tsing Yi carrying a file come to his cell.
Different from the first day, he remembered clearly that when he first came in, a large group of people in Tsing Yi came to see him. These people looked at him strangely and just looked at him without making a sound.
Only one today.
The jailer in green clothes opened the cell and looked Mei Chengwu up and down: "Are you Mei Chengwu?"
Mei Chengwu knew that he was going to be beheaded. At this moment Instead, he relaxed.
He nodded and said: "I am Mei Chengwu."
"It was you who scolded His Majesty for being here after His Majesty's car drove by?"
Mei Cheng Wu felt that he could not deny it, so he nodded and said: "I scolded you."
"Why did you scold Your Majesty?"
"No reason, I just wanted to scold you!"
p>
"So, you admit that you insulted citizen Yunzhao in public?"
"I scolded the emperor."
"Do you regret it now?" "
"I regret it. I shouldn't have scolded the emperor because the ice cream melted."
"Well, the attitude is quite sincere. Because you insulted citizen Yun Zhao in public, you should be punished. Are you convinced of your three-day confinement?"
"Convinced."
"Okay, now that you have served your sentence, you can leave."
"Oh, can I see my father, my mother, and my aunt before I die?"
The man in Tsing Yi was stunned for a moment and said: "Who wants to kill you?"
Mei Chengwu sobbed and said: "Bao Laoliu said that if I scolded His Majesty, I had committed a crime of disrespect and would be beheaded."
The man in Tsing Yi patted his forehead and said: "Why didn't I know? "Lantian Law" still has the crime of being disrespectful?"
