"Bring it up!" "Come out for me!"

"Harari?"

"I am Harari!" said a chieftain.

And the man in bailiff clothes said: "Check it out, and verify your identity?"

"Verified identity? You can't kill me!" That Harari was startled.

Generally speaking, after the verification of the body is the punishment of the canon, which is generally used only when the execution is due. And the chieftain Harari thought he was going to kill himself when he heard this, so he immediately resisted. However, a word from the bailiff reassured him a little.

"Don't worry, we won't kill you without a trial!" said the bailiff.

This made the Harari chieftain heave a sigh of relief, but he was immediately taken to his cottage, and he saw that there were crowds gathered everywhere, and they didn't know what was going on. And this Harari didn't even know what these Han people wanted to do, so he brought him back here to do it?

"Could it be that they want to reappoint me as Chieftain? If so, that would be great!" Chieftain Harari also thought excitedly.

And this chieftain, Harari, was taken to a high platform, then sent to an iron fence, and then handcuffed inside. And in this way, Harari didn't know what was going on, and he also felt that it was obvious that he was not going to be reappointed as chieftain.

"Now, the trial of the criminal suspect Harari begins. Now we swear to His Majesty the Emperor of the Yanhuang Empire, Wang Guorui, that we will have a fair trial!"…

Those judges began to swear an oath to Wang Guorui's photo, and then promised that there would be a fair trial. And that Harari didn't feel anything, when he heard that he was going to judge himself, he became very anxious.

"What are you doing? What are you doing? We have already surrendered. Shouldn't we be rewarded? Shouldn't we be given wealth? Even if we shouldn't be given wealth, at least we can't be punished?" Harari said .

But the judge ignored it and went on: "Prosecutor. Read the indictment!"

"The criminal Harari, during his tenure as a local chieftain in Guizhou, was brutal and frequently killed people. If anyone disobeyed a little, he was ordered to be executed. From before he took over the position of chieftain to after he was arrested, he ordered the killing of 102 people in total. .Not only wanton killings, but also raped women! Not only forcibly raped women, but even threatened to attack her family if he didn’t satisfy his lust.

A very long indictment, and these charges are simply too numerous to list, because one by one, many people were directly killed and indirectly killed. Even for a sacrifice, fifteen slaves were killed as a sacrificial ceremony. In addition, in order to make a religious ritual vessel, the crime of using human skin to decorate a murder is simply anti-human. And these, the Han people present were also extremely shocked. Those Han officials and the various military staff who came to accompany the various Han people also felt very angry when they looked at this Harari. This kind of random murderer. It's just horrible. And this guy killed more people than many so-called tyrants.

And heard such a long indictment, and these charges have also been investigated clearly. This surprised the minority people under the chieftain's rule. Although they said to each other that Harari is very cruel, they also accept his rule in their daily life, and they have been used to it for decades. But now that all his records have been counted, the chieftains are also shocked, because this situation is so terrible that they are also shocked.

"Harari, are you guilty?" the prosecutor asked.

That Harari immediately asked, "What's wrong with me? All I killed were slaves. What's the problem?"

"Slave? Who allowed us to have slavery here? In the code of our Yanhuang Empire, there is no provision that allows slavery. How did you own slaves?" the judge asked.

Harari immediately said: "This was awarded to me by the Qing court!"

"Wait, you accepted the canonization of the Qing court? But the Qing court is an aggressor. It does not belong to the legal government. Since you accepted the canonization of the Qing court, you have to add a crime of treason!" said the judge.

"Wait, wait. I didn't accept the canonization of the Qing court, but I accepted the canonization of the Ming court! Since the Ming Dynasty, we have also accepted the canonization of the Ming Dynasty and are responsible for leading this place. So I have the rule over this place. Right, so I can do whatever I want?" said the Harari.

But the public prosecutor immediately replied: "In this case, did the Ming court allow you to kill people at will? I remember that neither the so-called Ming court nor the laws of the Manchu occupation period stated that you can kill people here. ?Whether it is the law of the Ming Dynasty or the puppet Manchu Qing Dynasty, the people under the rule must be judged and convicted by the government before they can be reported to the central court for the Ming Dynasty punishment. Also, what you said about the so-called slavery in the Qing Dynasty , this slavery is only established in the Eight Banners. No one else or any organization can keep slaves. Even any officials in the Eight Banners have no right to kill slaves without authorization. They must be handed over to the judicial officials in the Eight Banners to kill them. So no matter whether you follow the laws of the Ming court or the puppet Qing Dynasty, there is no basis for it, what else do you say?"

Obviously, these prosecutors already knew how these guys would argue, so he had already prepared. Because whether it is the Ming Dynasty or the Qing Dynasty, there will be no private slaves. The Ming Dynasty completely abolished slavery, and legally speaking, there were no slaves in the whole country, except for a small number of fallen people. Although there were so-called slaves in the Qing Dynasty, it did not mean that the whole society was slaves. The slaves in the Qing Dynasty were only the so-called slaves in the Eight Banners, but in the middle and late period, the so-called Eight Banners slave system had disintegrated. Many slaves of the Eight Banners back then have also transformed and developed, and instead became officials. And those old masters and sons have declined instead. They only retained the master-subordinate relationship in name, but in fact it was no longer a slave-dependent relationship. What's more, slaves in the so-called Eight Banners could not be executed casually. No matter from the laws of the Ming and Qing dynasties, they were not qualified to be executed casually.

Since the Tang Dynasty, absolute slaves have ceased to exist. Even if the master wants to execute a slave, he must obtain the approval of the government before he can execute it, otherwise he cannot do it himself. Later, slavery was no longer the mainstream. This was caused by productivity and cultural factors. Any slavery could not last for too long.

"Didn't the court let me rule here?" Harari asked.

The public prosecutor immediately asked: "Which imperial court allows you to kill people and execute others at will? Can you show it? Do you have any evidence?"

"this…"

And this Harari didn't know what to say, because since their ancestors, they have had this kind of privilege here, and the Central Plains dynasties of all dynasties have never cared about these. And they have always ruled according to the method of saving ancestors, that is, according to this method, they will kill anyone who is unhappy, and this has always been their customary rule for hundreds of years. And even the Central Plains Dynasty didn't say anything. Generally speaking, as long as they don't kill the Han people, they are all fine. They killed their subordinates and slaves whenever they wanted, and those chieftains didn't have any ideas, nor did they think they were uncomfortable. It seems that this is the way it should be, it is the special power that their ancestors have had for generations.

However, these powers have never been written into any official documents of the Ming and Qing dynasties. It is just that they expanded their powers themselves, and then used the ideas of Emperor Shangao and the Central Plains Dynasty not to care about it, and expanded their powers for themselves. It will make them have this illusion from generation to generation, thinking that they have the power to kill people at will.

Not to mention that these chieftains think so~lightnovelpub.net~ Even the people and slaves under the chieftains think so, thinking that the chieftain has the right to execute them at will, and their fate is in the hands of the chieftain in. And now someone finally came to hold these chieftains accountable, and they were all surprised.

"My compatriots, no court has given them such power. No court has only given them the power of self-government, but they have never given them the power to kill people at will. They have not given them the power to enslave you either. And they enslave you, and no court has ever given them such power. If they want you to work, they must give you wages or rewards. But they not only don’t pay you, they even make you work without pay, and even execute you casually. Then your lives cannot be guaranteed. This is the power that no court has given them, so it is illegal for them to kill you, and it does not conform to the laws of any dynasty."

"Fellow folks, the so-called court gave them the power to kill you here at will, that is just a misunderstanding. Neither the Ming court nor the so-called Puppet Manchu Qing court gave them such great power, nor did they The right to kill you at will. If you want to execute anyone, you must be judged, not just killing you. And these chieftains killing you casually are intentional killings, and they must be tried according to the law!"
