Chapter 42 Rehabilitation
Perhaps because of his experience as a policeman, even though Shen Hao has been here for almost ten years, he still retains many subconscious habits.
For example, he has natural sympathy for Shen Hao, the common people at the bottom, and it is easier for him to take matters of the common people to heart.
So much so that after the case of the Li family's treason was concluded, the people in the guard were either trembling to consider whether they would take the initiative to admit their mistakes or wipe their butts quietly; Looking for an official position in "A Flag".
But few people think about how to deal with the innocent victims of unjust, false and wrong cases that need to be rehabilitated after the case is over.
The laws of the old Jing Dynasty did have clauses to explain unjust, false and wrongly decided cases, but there were no details. There was only a very general sentence that "individual cases can be compensated according to the actual situation."
How much compensation under what circumstances? How should I compensate?
Didn't say anything at all, just let the "actual" responsible yamen handle it at their own discretion.
I have to say that this legal provision is not so friendly to the victims of these unjust, false and wrongly decided cases, and it feels like you deserve your bad luck.
Tang Qingyuan said before that "follow the rules".
Shen Hao specifically went to the file room to check. The most recent rehabilitated case in the Licheng area was seventy-eight years ago. An unjust case of arson killed an innocent person by mistake. Compensation for two silver coins.
That's right, only one hundred taels is one life.
Dissatisfied? There is no place to shout if you are dissatisfied. If you want to blame, you can blame yourself for being unlucky.
After Shen Hao came out of the file room, he was full of complaints about the case seventy-eight years ago, and he was not prepared to handle it according to the rules above.
A wronged soul only compensates for one hundred taels of silver?
What is the concept of one hundred taels? It is equivalent to the normal annual expenses of an ordinary family of three, that's it? It's too unkind, and it's completely unmanageable in Shen Hao's hands.
Back at the public office, Shen Hao combined the injustice cases in his hands according to his own ideas, listing compensation methods case by case.
"For those who died unjustly, if there are still living people in the family, they can be compensated according to the standard of one thousand taels of silver per life."
"Those who do not have a source of income can still apply for household registration at the government office, and the standard is higher."
"Those who are beaten into slavery, as long as they are still alive, will be released from slavery immediately and restored to civilian status, and at the same time, compensation will be given from five hundred to one thousand taels of silver depending on the situation."
"Send a notice of rehabilitation to the yamen where the ancestral home of all the innocent people who have been rehabilitated, and ask them to make a public announcement on their behalf."
One order after another was passed out from Shen Hao, and he is still in charge of handling Li Jiamou's errands against the command, so no one stood up to question this series of orders. After all, these compensations seem unprecedentedly high, but in the final analysis they are not. Too much. Xuan Qingwei has never been short of money, but as for household registration fields and the like, that is something the local government needs to worry about.
Finally, the order was submitted to Tang Qingyuan, and Tang Qingyuan only said "You have a kind heart" before signing and approving it. Afterwards, under the urging of Shen Hao, these rehabilitating orders spread throughout all the cities within the jurisdiction of Xuanqingwei in Licheng in just half a day.
How many unjust, false and wrong cases can the Jiaziqi make over the years?
These days, Shen Hao took someone to sort it out. During Li Bing's tenure as the General Banner of the Jiazi Banner, there were a total of 35 unjust, false and wrongly decided cases! Hundreds of lives were involved, and hundreds of families were destroyed.
Licheng, Yaxing.
This is the place where Xuanqingwei's rehabilitation order was first received.
When the general manager of the dental office read the order, he felt very uncomfortable. Because this decree clarifies a long list, all of which are the family members of the Lin family involved in the unjust case "Yunyang Smuggling of Prohibited Materials Case".
Back then there were more than 20 members of the Lin family, old and young, but now some have been sold and some have died, leaving only three of them in the tooth shop. Two are because some of them are martial slaves with high value, so they sell slowly; one is a beauty, and it takes a long time to train them, and it is not yet the best time to sell them.
These three slaves have invested a lot of money in the dental office. They wanted to make a lot of money, but now they can only think about it.
Good luck to these three.
In addition, the tooth shop also needs to give Xuan Qingwei a detailed explanation, which of the family members of the Lin family sold in the tooth shop are dead and who are still alive, and who sold them to, etc., but if there is a link, is it correct? The number one dental practice is to speak out.
Moreover, now is the time when there are turmoil in Licheng, the Yanji knife in Xuan Qingwei's hand is still dripping with blood and has not returned to its sheath, who would dare to jump out at this time to die?
"Follow the requirements of this order and do it quickly, so be it."
The steward sighed, he had no temper with Xuan Qingwei, so he could only admit that he was unlucky.
The news soon reached the hands of the last three members of the Lin family in the tooth shop. Like the dew after a long drought, the three people who were already desperate were instantly stunned. Tears could not stop streaming down.
"Fortunately for you, the elder of Xuanqingwei helped you rehabilitate and offered compensation. You can go to Xuanqingwei to claim the exact amount. Take it, this is the identity card issued to you by the dental office. To go to Yamen to re-naturalize, you have to rely on this and another note from Xuan Qingwei, both of which are indispensable, so don’t lose them.”
Walking out of the dental shop in a daze holding a note, and then looking back, it's like a lifetime away.
The two men and one woman are cousins. The two men are at the second level of qi refining, and they are the children of the third house of the Lin family. And the girl is Lin Xin'er who brought the whole case before, and the only one who is still alive in the Lin family.
The three of them looked at each other with tears and grief in their eyes.
They were lucky enough to live to the day when they were rehabilitated, but many members of the family had already withered their bones prematurely. Although justice still came, the price of being late was blood and tears.
An hour later, the three of them came out of the Xuanqing guard, went to the yamen and re-registered as civilians, each with three thousand taels of compensation in their hands.
It was possible to choose the household registration field at the Yamen, but none of the three of them knew how to farm, so they all got money.
Relying on this money, the three of them can live a relatively well-off life even if they don't pay any interest.
"I asked them. At the beginning, Dafu and the others were buried in the mass grave in Shilipo outside the city. They were all there. It should be."
"I'm going to make some sacrifices, and together we'll tell the elder father that someone has avenged our family's hatred."
"go together."
The three of them bought paper money for wine, meat, incense, candles, rented a carriage and left the city, where they found the mass grave.
There are no tombstones in the mass graves, only old and new burial pits, big or small. The scene is gloomy and desolate. Even if you want to worship, you have to kowtow to your relatives who don’t know which burial pit they are buried in.
Coming down from the hill, Lin Xiner suddenly said, "I won't be returning to Yunyang for the time being, I want to stay, and I won't feel uneasy if I don't see Zhang Kuina's gang of thieves die tragically."
