The next day, the trial will begin.

Liu Banshan wore a special striped prison uniform, his whole face was haggard, no longer the arrogance he had yesterday. Under the escort of the ICAC law enforcement officers, he seemed to obediently come to the prison cell of the court and accept the Yangqu Court. verdict.

Although Liu Banshan said it was justified last night, burning the village and hurting people was a crime that could not be concealed, and his motives were actually not sufficient.

After all, except for farming, forest land has always been state property or village collective property, and it cannot belong to a person's private property.

Chen Hui appeared in court for trial with injuries, and made a judgment in court: "Although outsiders in Qingxi Village were wandering to Jielucheng Village in Qingxi, it has been more than 20 years since then, and Qingxi villagers have been paying taxes to the government according to law. Therefore, it is the legal person who moved here in the Ming Dynasty! The evildoer Liu Banshan only made an appointment with the neighboring village Zhao Si, and wanted to occupy Qingxi village houses, which burned the house and injured people. Now the evidence is conclusive, and this court sentenced Liu Banshan to compensate Zhu Dashan and others totaled 100 taels, and the cessation lasted four years!"

"I don't accept it! This is simply unreasonable. You are clearly targeting me on purpose and avenge my dog ​​biting you yesterday!" Liu Banshan roared angrily when he heard that he was going to be locked up for four years.

Chen Hui looked very calm in the face of Liu Guanshan's roar: "If you are not convinced, you can appeal to the Taiyuan Court! If you dare to roar in the court again, this judge can sentence two crimes and punish you according to the new law, and extend your sentence!"

Liu Banshan originally wanted to shout, but when he heard the threat of extending his sentence, he swallowed the ill words he had spit out.

Although he always believed that nothing could not be solved by money, seeing Liu Hui's tough attitude and the court's determination to promote the rule of law also had to rethink his own destiny.

In fact, he spent so much money to calm the storm this time because he realized that his approach was wrong, and now he was just deceiving himself.

But when I thought about being locked up for four years, I couldn't help but feel blood in my heart, and I began to regret why I had to do such lawless things.

But who can blame me again? Even though I know that I am the one who is dedicated to serving the people, I still do such a crazy thing. It is simply a matter of blame.

"It's true that evil cannot defeat justice!"

"If you want to tell me, this newly established Independent Commission Against Corruption is still good!"

"I don't think so, everything has to be attributed to the one from the court!"

...

More than a hundred people who attended the audience saw Liu Banshan surrendering to justice, and even villains like Liu Banshan have the right to appeal, which made everyone feel more and more the justice of the judiciary.

Of course, everyone understands that the basis of judicial justice does not lie in the Quyang Court, nor the newly established ICAC, but the one from the court.

Although he did not name a name, everyone knew who made all this and who knew clearly who created such a situation in the Ming Dynasty.

"It's a blessing in Shanxi!"

Liu Baien, the new president of Shanxi merchants, looked at the scene in front of him and said sincerely with gratitude.

Originally, he was worried that Lin Xuran would still distrust them in Shanxi and thought that Shanxi was a place where traitors were traitors, so he regarded Shanxi as a pilot area of ​​the court system.

But now it seems that I have judged the gentleman by the heart of a villain. Master Lin did not trust them in Shanxi, but clearly gave the best judicial system to Shanxi.

I thought this would end successfully, but the next day I was shocked by everyone's chin.

The ICAC filed a lawsuit and submitted a crime to the Yangqu County Court, which was a lawsuit against Taiyuan Prefect Chen Sanchou and other officials who accepted bribes to shelter Liu Banshan, and Yangqu County Office and other officials who did not act.

Although many people had already speculated before, it still made everyone feel incredible to see the ICAC doing this and pointing the finger at the official group directly.

"I heard it right? Is it that I'm right? I'll interrogate the prefect of Taiyuan?"

"How is this possible? The court can even judge this?"

"What's impossible, and don't look at who is in power now!"

...

With the news that Li Zhiming, the magistrate of Taiyuan Prefecture, came out, the entire Taiyuan City seemed to be in a turmoil. From ancient times to the present, people have been tried, so how could they be tried?

But this is the case. Officials such as Chen Sanchou, the prefect of Taiyuan, were taken to the court. The Quyang Court held a trial of the case that afternoon, and more than 100 people were allowed to listen.

After several weighings, Liu Banshan finally chose to appear in court to testify that Taiyuan Prefect Chen Sanchou and others accepted his money after being exempted from the temptation of bribery.

In addition, he also pointed the finger at Li Zhiming, the magistrate of Taiyuan Prefecture. Li Zhiming intended to marry his daughter on the condition of helping him escape.

Li Hu took out the silver notes seized from the arrest of Taiyuan Prefect Liu Sanchou and others that night, as well as the testimony provided by Caifenglou personnel, which confirmed the fact that these officials drank with Liu Banshan and accepted bribes.

.

When officials from Taiyuan Prefect Chen Sanchou and other officials saw Liu Banshan appearing in court to testify and accepted bribes that night because they were stolen and were captured by the ICAC, they were unable to make a quibble, so they nodded silently to admit the matter.

At this moment, they also felt regretful, both ashamed of their greed and hated their underestimation of Lin Shiran's determination to promote the establishment of the rule of law.

If they had received the "Code of Conduct for the Ming Officials" issued by the court and could take the above provisions seriously, they might not have had the results today.

Faced with this case of shelter and corruption, Shen Hui made a judgment in court: "The evidence of accepting bribes from Taiyuan Prefect Chen Sanchou and other officials accepting bribes to protect Liu Banshan is conclusive. The magistrate of Taiyuan Prefecture Li Zhiming used his power to seek personal gain. Now he ordered the return of the stolen money and charged it to the national treasury.

, a group of people are temporarily imprisoned, waiting for the court's final ruling!"

"It's really...it's really a verdict!"

"The dignified Taiyuan prefect was dismissed from his official position just because he accepted bribes?"

"What's so fuss about this? This is the real virtuous prime minister, this is the real prosperous era!"

...

Seeing the verdict of Quyang Court, although it was still necessary to hand over the court's ruling, many people couldn't believe that all this was true. The dignified Lord of the Mansion fell so easily.

However, when I saw this judgment and thought of the imperial court's magic needle, everyone praised the judgment and vaguely saw the real prosperity.

Although the Ming Dynasty's economy became better and better, and the people not only solved the problem of food and clothing, but also had surplus property, they could never get rid of the fact that they were bullied.

Even rich people like Liu Banshan have to sacrifice their daughter's happiness, so as to use the connections of Li Zhiming, the magistrate of Taiyuan Prefecture, to get rid of the blame.

Even Liu Banshan is like this, ordinary people can imagine it.

Although the living standards of the people have long surpassed the economic standards of any previous prosperous era, they are actually almost at a distance from the real prosperous era. After all, the vast majority of people are still the targets of being bullied by power.

But now, everything is slowly filling.

The construction of the court system gives ordinary people a way to defend their rights, while the establishment of the ICAC broke the situation where officials' power was uncontrollable and thus created an honest political ecology.

It is precisely this that the lives of the people become more secure, the Ming Dynasty's yamen become more honest, and the whole of China will show stronger cohesion, which is a true prosperity.

Ten days later, the court formally issued an order to dismiss all officials such as Taiyuan Prefect Chen Sanchou and others.

At this point, the case triggered by Liu Banshan ended successfully. The "Corruption Case of Chen Sanchou and other officials" is destined to be recorded in history. It is not only the first anti-corruption case of the ICAC, but also an achievement of the construction of the law and politics of the Ming Dynasty.

This case was reported by Shanxi Daily and then media in various places rushed to report it, which quickly spread throughout the Ming Dynasty.

"I've really been dismissed!"

"How can the court not love such a thing?"

"I really hope that Prince Lin can live a hundred years and rule the Ming Dynasty forever!"

...

Seeing that the dignified Taiyuan Prefect Chen Sanchou and other officials were dismissed for accepting bribes and shelter, not only was the whole of Shanxi unbelievable, but the entire Ming Dynasty was also very shocked, and he also saw Lin Shiran's determination to promote the construction of the rule of law.

Although corruption cases have been cracked down on throughout the dynasties, those are often based on political struggles, unlike the current establishment of special departments to deal with corrupt officials.

Now the court controlled by Xiangye Lin seems to be decisive and decisive, not only doing what they want to do, but also doing things they dare not think of.

"Such good governance should be implemented nationwide!"

"It's true, there's no need to continue to pilot it, and it's implemented nationwide immediately!"

"If anyone dares to stop such good policies, he will definitely be the sinner of my China!"

"Secretary Lin has done this for us. We should follow us to the death, otherwise we will let the vicious people hurt Mr. Lin at all!"

...

This matter quickly fermented throughout the Ming Dynasty. After people in Southeast and other places learned about the judicial system, they strongly called for this set to be promoted nationwide as soon as possible.

Although this matter will inevitably encounter obstacles, many knowledgeable people realize that Lin Shiran is a real plan for a lifetime, so they stand in Lin Shiran's camp more firmly.

If anyone is the sacred and inviolable person in the world, I am afraid that only Lin Qingran will be the only one. With Lin Qingran's current reputation, anyone who dares to say that Lin Qingran is not will definitely be attacked by the crowd.

This is also due to Lin Shiran’s reputation today. Although the judicial system seriously infringes on the power of the ruling class, as long as Lin Shiran firmly implements it, no people dare to stop it.

It’s just that some people are happy and some are worried, and the entire officialdom becomes panic.

Although the court has been promoting administration for so many years, it is ultimately lacking supervision, especially in some remote areas, the traditional style of the local emperor has been inherited.

Now the imperial court has changed its previous style of turning a blind eye, but is preparing to build a complete judicial system across the country and establish a power organization for supervisory officials, thus greatly limiting the power of local officials.

That's why many officials knew that their good days were about to be out of order, and some even worried that the dirty things they had done would be revealed, so they submitted their resignation.

According to incomplete statistics, after the "Corruption Case of Chen Sanchou and other officials" was reported, more than 20 local officials across the country submitted memorials to resign.

After all, Lin Qingran is not a person who can only act recklessly. While the "Corruption Case of Chen Sanchou and others" was fermented quickly, he also issued the "New Regulations on Officials' Salary" to raise salaries to different levels for officials from 1 to 9 ranks.

Thanks to the rapid growth of fiscal revenue in the Ming Dynasty, especially the continuous transport of gold and silver from the American continent back to the capital, and now the Ming Dynasty's financial surplus is surplus every year.

In fact, since Baili ascended the throne, Lin Qingran has raised salaries several times for Ming officials, and the increase is not small each time.

Although he did not think that high salary could support integrity, he knew that officials who could not eat enough would be corrupt. Officials like Hai Rui who became officials but did not eat meat for half a year could only be an isolated case.

This is true. While promoting the construction of the judicial system, he also threw out the salary increase laws that benefit all officials, which were considered as a sweet date.

Officials from all over the country also understood Lin Junran's heart for the people. Although many officials felt uncomfortable, they still accepted the result silently.

As for the general public, Lin Shiran was arranging officials below, and the income of the court was not obtained from exploiting the people of the Ming Dynasty, so naturally no one would accuse Lin Shiran of his salary increase.

While the outside world is calling for the judicial system to be promoted nationwide, Shanxi's judicial construction is still advancing in an orderly manner.

The resistance to the rule of law is undoubtedly the rule of man for thousands of years. It has always been "the power of the royal family is not in the county", but now the courts have to intervene in all matters, so they are inevitably subject to resistance.

From Liu Sanshan's resistance, Shen Hui also saw the shortcomings contained in the court itself. When explaining the situation to Hai Rui, he also proposed the idea of ​​building a judicial policeman.
