The woman was overjoyed when she heard this, but she asked again: "Will my husband be released without charge?"
Meng Yi said: "As long as the case is as you said, then it should be acquitted."
Hearing this, the woman finally heaved a sigh of relief, then with a plop, she knelt down to Li Yang and Meng Yi, kowtowed desperately, and thanked repeatedly.
Li Yang hurriedly helped the woman up, and saw that she was holding the child, Xianyang is thousands of miles away from Shandong, it is not easy for the mother and child to go back, so he ordered the Criminal Department to arrange a carriage and give it to the woman.
In this way, the woman's case was successfully resolved.
Chapter No.3072 Judicial Reform
After this incident, the Ministry of Punishment began to work in a short time, formulating and promulgating the law of legitimate defense and related explanations for excessive defense.
The promulgation of this law not only protects social interests and other legitimate rights and interests from illegal infringement, but also deters criminals from acting rashly, and encourages the justice of everyone in society to fight against ongoing illegal infringement. The wind can be said to be of great significance.
This is the progress of the Great Qin legal system, and it is also a victory of justice!
Of course, only Li Yang understands that the most important significance of the advent of the law of legitimate defense is that in this era, the Great Qin Empire recognizes and protects the inviolability of personal legal rights.
This is of great significance!
In addition, this time, in addition to rectifying and optimizing the shortcomings of the crime of private fighting, and promulgating the law of self-defense, the Ministry of Criminal Justice also made further definitions and explanations for blackmail and blackmail.
Opportunity and blackmail in the form of false accusations are regarded as the crime of extortion and extortion, and the sentence ranges from half a month to seven years in prison.Moreover, in the Daqin law, there is a special explanation, that is, the illegal act of blackmailing in the form of taking advantage of others' kindness, opportunism, and false accusation, regardless of the amount of blackmail, will be regarded as particularly serious and will be severely punished.
In other words, ordinary blackmail, such as intentionally holding a vase in your hand and letting you break it, such opportunistic behavior can be regarded as minor, and half a month in prison may be enough.
However, if a well-meaning person helped the old lady, but he was falsely accused and blackmailed, no matter how much money you blackmailed, even if it was only a copper coin, it would be regarded as a particularly serious case and a heavy sentence would be given, that is, the sentence will be counted in years. Already, like five years?seven years?
In short, this law is also to maintain and promote social justice and noble morals.At the same time, crack down on false accusations and blackmail.
It doesn’t matter if there is any mediation or blackmail failure. None of these things exist, and they will be sentenced directly to the highest penalty.
In Li Yang's words, it is a society where everyone only cares about gains and losses. A person who is originally kind does not dare to help others lightly. , such a society is extremely indifferent and selfish, and if all these phenomena and the current situation are caused by laws, then such laws must be rectified, modified and optimized.
Therefore, in order to put an end to this phenomenon, the laws of Daqin can be said to have taken precautions in advance.
Li Yang wants to let every kind-hearted person in Daqin in the future feel relieved to help those in need, so that every person full of justice can boldly say that to evil forces and illegal acts. "No" word!
At the same time, everyone who dares to take advantage of the kindness of others and consume kindness will pay a painful price!
Relevant laws were promulgated soon, and the provinces, counties and counties of Daqin were directly issued.
At the same time, in the early winter of 11 AD, the State of Qin also reformed the judicial system.
Daqin, the original official system, locally, each province has a provincial yamen, and there are two levels of county and county below the province, which are mainly three main officials who are not affiliated with each other: the county guard, the supervisor, and the county lieutenant.
Sheriff, county chief.The county guards in the Qin Dynasty had great power. Except for the county magistrate who was directly appointed and dismissed by the imperial court, the censor who was responsible for supervising the county government, and the county lieutenant who was responsible for commanding the garrison and managing public security, other county officials were appointed and dismissed by the county guard.
Supervisory history, subordinate to the Supervisory Yuan, is responsible for supervising the sheriff and other officials.
County lieutenant, in charge of the county garrison, in charge of law and order, and detecting thieves. Since Li Yang reorganized the Qin army, the county lieutenant has been separated from the army system and reduced to a county chief of security. In the words of later generations, he is the city prince* Secretary.
Of course, in addition to this, there is Jun Cheng.The deputy official of the county assists the county guard in comprehensive county administration. When the county guard is absent or unable to act as a director, the county magistrate acts as the county guard.The subordinate officials include death history, master book, pastor's order, etc.
It is precisely because the administrative bureaucracy in various places is like this, so it can be seen that the local judicial system in Daqin is not independent.Judicial and administrative powers are decided by the local governor.
For example, in a province, the governor has the final say; in a county, the magistrate has the final say; in a county, the county magistrate has the final say.Only the censors are subordinate to the Supervisory Yuan and are not subject to local governors.
Moreover, there is basically no appeal, especially in judicial cases.
Because of this, Li Yang believes that Daqin's judicial system must be reformed.Therefore, he directly separated the judiciary from the local administrative agencies and named it the Daqin Judicial Administration.
The Judiciary Department is naturally an organ exercising judicial power, responsible for adjudicating cases and making judgments. At this time, it is equivalent to the combination of the court and the procuratorate of later generations.
At the same time, the agency that supervised the censors was changed to the Supervision Office, which is equivalent to the discipline inspection and supervision agency in later generations.
The Judiciary Department is directly independent from the local government and is subordinate to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. It is not subject to the restrictions of the local governor, and the final judgment is not made by the local governor, governor or county guard, but directly submitted to the higher-level judicial organs.
For example, in the county-level judicial office, disputed cases or cases that are dissatisfied with the judgment can be directly submitted to the county-level judicial office for appeal. If there are still disputes or dissatisfaction, they can continue to be submitted to the provincial judicial office.
In this way, the entire judicial system can greatly reduce unjust, false and wrongly decided cases.At the same time, it also urged judicial departments at all levels to hear cases fairly and fairly.
As soon as the Daqin judicial reform was implemented, the common people didn't think it was special at first.
However, in any era, there are always some smart, talented, and far-sighted people.They immediately realized the far-reaching significance and impact behind the judicial reform.
Then, under the explanation of these people, more and more people suddenly understood that the judicial reform is equivalent to allowing everyone in the world to be treated fairly and justly before the law.
In the past, if the county magistrate said you were guilty, you were guilty. If the county magistrate said you were innocent, you were not guilty. How could the people have the right to say "not to accept"?
But now it is different, the right to hear the case is no longer in the hands of the county magistrate, as long as you are innocent, even if the county-level judicial office convicts you, you can appeal to the county-level judicial office, to the province, Even for some particularly controversial cases, the province will submit them to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for resolution.
In short, this allows every ordinary person to see the hope that everyone will be treated fairly and justly before the law.
It is precisely because of the far-reaching and significant significance of this judicial reform that it has been directly recorded in the annals of history.
Historical records: "In the early winter of the 11th year of the Qin Dynasty, Li Yang, the king of Qinzhen, carried out judicial reforms, independent judicial offices, and the right to appeal. This judicial reform not only laid the foundation for the rule of law of the Great Qin Empire, but also marked that everyone There is a precedent for the right to pursue fairness and just treatment before the law!"
Chapter 373 News from the Public Transport Book
At this time, it is already deep winter, and the mountains and rivers of Daqin are covered with snow-white armor.
In this severe and cold winter, the people of Qin State did not feel how cold this winter was.
Because this winter, they no longer need to starve or suffer from cold.
This year, there was a bumper harvest of grain, and the harvest tripled, and the imperial court also reduced or exempted the mouth tax, so that every household in Daqin had enough surplus grain.
In addition, the state of Qin was engaged in infrastructure construction and vigorously developed the handicraft industry. During the slack season, almost all men went to build canals or work in handicraft workshops, so they all had income.
With wages, life can be improved, and with the rise of the handicraft industry, whether it is clothes, shoes, hats, or quilts, you can easily buy them.The entire state of Qin can be said to have completely solved the problem of food and clothing.
Countless people, in this cold winter, all have happy smiles on their faces, warmth in their hearts, and even hope in their eyes.
Many people can't help but wipe tears from their eyes when they talk about their lives today.
Because they have experienced too much suffering and encountered too much suffering, and today's life is simply unimaginable in their dreams, so when they think of their stable life today, they are all touched, and then filled with emotion.
The tears in their eyes are tears of happiness and tears of emotion.

It was snowing in Xianyang City, and every household was waving snowflakes everywhere.
Heavy snow covered the roads of Xianyang City, and the light shone on the snow, making Xianyang City clear and clear. Snowflakes chased the breeze and danced around the city.On the street, some sons and gentlemen wore brand-new gorgeous clothes, riding tall horses and trampling the white snow on the road into a mess.
"It's the end of the year, and the year is coming to an end!"
