Zhao Xin and Liu Sheng fought in full swing in the north, and the travelers and ordinary people from all over the country under Beihai Town were also closely watching.

For example, Cao Peng, the director of the Ningguta Military Control Commission, sent a call to the North Navy General Staff every day to inquire about the progress of the battle. However, a recent criminal case that shocked all neighboring towns made Cao Peng very angry.

On the evening of September 5, a young criminal wearing a brand new blue cloth cotton suit walked into the yard of Ningguta Public Security Police Station.

"Who are you looking for?" Seeing the visitor shaved with a bald head and wearing two work clothes, the security police on duty thought they were from Beihai Town.

"I want to sue, someone rapes and murders!"

After hearing this, the security policeman on duty changed his expression and hurriedly took the man into the house to speak. After sitting down, he found out that the young man's name was Nian Wang, who came from Sanxingcheng.

"I am also a Han. Speaking of which, my grandfather was persecuted to death by the Qing emperor." Nian Wang showed regret and resentment on his face, and continued: "Alas! Actually, my ancestors also wanted to rebel against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, but how could people do it better than God do it?"

The security police officer in charge of the record blinked, looked at the performance with passion and asked calmly: "Who is your grandfather?"

"The ancestor Shuangfeng Gong."

"Ah?" The security police looked at the other party blankly, which meant that they had never heard of it.

Nian Wang pursed his dry lips, and his eyes turned, "Gen. Nian, have you heard of it?"

The security police felt that this title sounded familiar. He came from Shandong. After thinking for a while, he suddenly said, "Nian Gengyao? Are you a descendant of Nian Gengyao?"

A smile appeared on Nian Wang's face and he hurriedly bowed: "Yes, yes."

In the third year of Yongzheng, Nian Gengyao incident occurred. His fourth son Nian Xing was dismissed from his position as a first-class guard and assistant. In the fifth year of Yongzheng, he was exiled to Wula, Jilin. In the tenth year of Qianlong, Nian Xing was exiled to three surnames for having a private marriage with the governor of Yongji Prefecture. This Nian Wang was Nian Xing's son.

In fact, under Cao Peng's rule, there are many other celebrities related to historical events!

By the way, since taking office, Cao Peng’s first thing was to check the materials and verify the population and household registration in his jurisdiction.

Although the official archives of Ningguta and Sanxingcheng are all Manchu, Beihai Town has trained 100 ethnic minority cadres over the years, including the postman before Furdan City and the Sa philosopher from Balk Village. For example, Bamangong, who once worked as a postman in Furdan City, and Qiji, a villager from Balk Village, are now assisting Cao Peng in Ningguta.

Today, Cao Peng is responsible for the management of two towns, Ningguta City and Sanxing City, as well as 37 natural villages. There are more than 20,000 people in the jurisdiction, making it the third largest "city" after Furdan City and Beihai Town.

As a capital outside the northern pass in the Qing Dynasty, the internal situation in Ningguta was extremely complicated, so although it had occupied it for two years, it was still under military control. Although the local residents were Manchus, there were not many old Manchus now. The local Manchu old surnames include the Guarja, Jueluo, Boheli, Dong E, etc. These people either went to Jilin Ula, or followed Naqitai to escape to the Li Dynasty. Most of the people who stayed in Ningguta were "New Manchus" composed of Hezhe, Feiyak, Chilar, Chakala Jurchen, Oroqen, and Kuye Feiyak.

It is said that in the ninth year of Tiancong (1635), Huang Taiji issued an order to prohibit the name of Zhushen and determined that the clan was named "Manchu". After that, according to the order of conquest and surrender, the minority under his rule, the remaining Jurchen tribes from the Northeast, and other tribes, who were naturalized in the banner, were called "Iche Manchu"; while the early Eight Banners Zhushen was called "Buddhist", that is, the old Manchu.

As for the Han people, it was quite complicated, including criminals exiled in the Shunkang and Yong Dynasty, literary inquisitions in the early years, losers in the internal struggles in the officialdom, etc. Fang Gonggan, an exiled in the Shunzhi period, once said: "There are 13 provinces in Ningguta, and there are no provinces and no ones." Since the 24th year of Qianlong, exiled prisoners have almost no longer been exiled to Ningguta and Heilongjiang, and they are generally in Yili. After all, the farming in the place requires a lot of labor.

What surprised Cao Peng was that during the population verification process, some people claimed to be descendants of Zheng Zhibao, and several Manchu families said that they were descendants of the "Ming Shi case".

In December of the seventh year of Yongli, the Southern Ming Dynasty, Zheng Zhibao followed his elder brother Zheng Zhilong to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. The Qing court then recruited Zheng Chenggong. Unexpectedly, Zheng Chenggong was unmoved and resisted resolutely. So in anger, the Qing court encircled Zheng Zhilong, and Zheng Zhibao was sent to Ningguta and imprisoned until death. During this period, Zheng Zhibao found a female prisoner in the local area to help him live, and left one.

However, Zheng Zhibao's descendants have now become Manchu, and the only descendant is Qi Bao, which is less than thirty years old this year. Since his grandfather's generation was resigned from slavery, the family's living customs were no different from other Manchus. Fortunately, Qi Bao's grandmother is still alive. I remember that there was such a thing in his ancestors. If the Beihai Army had not come to check the household registration, the old lady would not have told her at all.

The descendants of the "Ming Shi Case" were basically passed down from their matriarchy. This is mainly because the men involved in the case were basically unable to escape and died. Those who survived were exiled to Ningguta as slaves and maids. As the North Navy arrived, these Jiangnan women and the descendants of Manchus wearing armor immediately gave up their Manchu status and claimed that they were the Han people with a strong root.

Cao Peng just sneered at these two groups of people and ignored them. Why didn’t Zhao Xin meet you when he first fought against Ningguta? Now he remembered that his ancestors are coming, it’s too late!

Back to the point, according to Nian Wang, he came to report the case this time when a Beihai Commercial Club clerk named Li Da was purchasing deer antlers in Qiji Township outside the Sanxing City, intending to rape Ximutiqi, the daughter of the local widow Angdali. The woman vowed to die, so Li Da beat her up with the identity of a Han man, causing her bones to break and the pain, which led to the woman's unjust hang herself.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting contents below! Afterwards, the people from Qiji Township made trouble with weapons. Zhou Tai, Qian Sen and Zhang Qi, who were accompanying Beihai Business Club employees, had no choice but to give money to calm the incident. So he brought the relatives of the two deceased back to the three surnames and asked for help from the public security police station. After paying compensation of 100 Beihai silver dollars to the two deceased relatives, he threatened and intimidated them and drove them away.

Cao Peng was shocked when he heard this. If the matter was really as Nian Wang said, it was serious that the villagers caused trouble with weapons and the suspect colluded with the public security police, then the case would be of great significance and would seriously shake the political stability of Beihai Town in the northeast coastal border area outside the northeast.

It is said that Ningguta under the Qing Dynasty has always been a distribution center for medicinal materials. Since the Northern Navy occupied Ningguta, there have been fewer Shanxi merchants who came to purchase medicinal materials. The role of border trade with the Li Dynasty was completely replaced by Hunchun.

Since Cao Peng took office, he has handed over the acquisition of medicinal materials to the "Beihai Trading Company" under the Ministry of Trade. Whether it is mink, ginseng, deer antler or other medicinal materials, all of them are purchased by the clerks of the "Beihai Trading Company" in the countryside, and at the same time transported a large number of light industrial products, silk and cotton cloth to meet the daily needs of border residents.

This has eliminated the heavy burden of tributes in each township in the past, and the other is to use door-to-door service to bring the relationship between Beihai Town and the border residents in each township.

So after some consideration, Cao Peng first sent a telegram to the Beihai Town Public Security Police General Administration to inform the situation, asked the Pian Bingwei to send someone, and at the same time ordered the Ningguta Public Security Police Station to launch an investigation.

In early September, the Ningguta Public Security Police Station sent someone to Qiji Township disguised himself. The police chief Ba Mangong was responsible for investigating the case. Since joining Beihai Town five years ago, he has been in the civil affairs department for the first two years. He was transferred from the civil affairs department the year before and entered the public security police system after training.

After Bamangong arrived in Qiji, he soon obtained confessions from the victim's mother, brother, and the village head, and learned about the general incident.

The victim Ximutiqi, who was called when Nianwang reported the case, was named Unna; his widowed mother was not called Ondali, but Jiahan.

On August 12, 1790, Li Da and his group came to Qiji Township to buy deer antlers. After lunch, they went to the river to wander around. When Una was picking up firewood by the river. Seeing that Una was young and pretty, Li Da had evil thoughts. He first made a fool of himself by using silk cloth. Seeing that Una refused, he forced him to be under the willow tree next to the river bank, tore his clothes to pieces, and wanted to do something wrong. Una screamed and struggled constantly, and then he found an opportunity to escape home. During the escape, Li Da was kicked and hit on the buttocks and fell.

The next day, Una was so ashamed that he hanged himself on a willow tree half a mile away from his home. After his mother Jiahan buried her daughter's body, she went with her son Getule to sue Li Da for the team leader Zhou Tai. Li Da argued that she had an affair with Una and was not raped. After discussion with Jin Zhuke, the head of Qiji Township, and others, he decided to follow Hezhe's local customary law, Li Da compensated the widow Jiahan with one bear skin, three iron pots, five fishing nets, two aluminum cans, three steel axes, and one hacksaw. Jiahan needed to return to Li Da five marten skins as usual. In this way, both parties privately settled the murder case. At that time, no relatives went to the three surnames to claim compensation and cause trouble, and did not take action with weapons, gathering people to threaten the Beihai Trading Company.

Cao Peng almost got angry after hearing Bamangong's report!

In the past year after coming to Ningguta, he devoted most of his work to investigating the population, measuring the land, liberating slaves, and handling civil disputes. Criminal cases were handled by the Public Security Police Station. However, because during the military control period, criminal cases were at most commercial disputes among border residents, fighting and fighting, and it was the first time that his own people in Beihai Town bullied border residents.

"It seems that the coffin must be opened and the autopsy is found. Wasn't the deceased injured?"

Facing Cao Peng's question, Bamangong said in a difficult mood: "I said this too, but the family members disagree. Hezheren does not have this rule, so it is difficult to deal with."

After reading Bamangong's investigation records, Cao Peng compared Nian Wang's inquiry records that came from the previous public security alarm, and he was amused and confused. He had already concluded in his heart that Nian Wang was a speculator. The kid said before that the donkey's lips were not right and had bad intentions.

The victim and family members were both wrongly said. Although Una was kicked by Li Da, she was not as broken as her bones were broken. Qiji Township did not send people to Sanxing City with Zhou Tai to collect armor, python satin and other items as compensation; the villagers did not cause trouble with weapons, and the security police station of Sanxing City did not collude.

Since the matter is clear, don’t wait for the people from the General Administration. Just hurry up and catch people.

That night, Li Da and four Beihai Business Club employees were arrested by people from the Sanxing City Security Police Station and interrogated the next day. Although Li Da was a little scared because he forced the person to death, he did not take it seriously when faced with the interrogation of the public security police.

"Brother, we are all Han people, we are our own people. Is this still a big deal if we die a few people with a lot of legs?"

Faced with Li Da's shamelessness, the security police officer in charge of interrogation said angrily: "Li Da! The victim Una is only fifteen years old, you can do it!"

"What's wrong with the age of fifteen? In the village in the south, fifteen years old is a child."

In short, when faced with interrogation, Li Da tried his best to argue and did not admit that he had beaten the victim at all. He only said that when the other party saw him by the river, he teased him. Then he had the idea. As for hanging himself, it had nothing to do with him; as for the subsequent compensation, it was also because he pitied Unna's widowed mother.

At the same time, after interrogation of Zhou Tai, Qian Sen and Zhang Qi, it was confirmed that the three of them knew that they did not report it was true, but they did not come forward to handle compensation for Li Da. It was completely a false accusation of Nian Wang.

When Cao Peng learned about the situation, he was smoked by Li Da's shameless anger. He was furious and ran directly to the telecommunications room. He shouted to the Sanxun City Security Police on the other end of the telephone: "Please review me overnight, don't let him sleep! I don't believe him, he won't help!"

A day later, after a series of wheel-fighting interrogations, Li Da, who was dizzy and dizzy, finally confessed that he had indeed used cloth to lure Una, but after failing, he became angry and turned to force his intention to do something wrong.

At this point, before the people from the General Security Administration arrived in Ningguta, the case was found out. Then they sorted out their confessions and sent someone to escort Li Da to the Ningguta Public Security Police Station to be imprisoned. Nian Wang, the speculator who wanted to use a big splash case to attract the attention of Beihai Town, Cao Peng asked Bamangong to scold him.

The next step is how to make a judgment. Since Ningguta is still under military control, Cao Peng, as the director of the management committee, can actually make a decision in one sentence.

Cao Peng always remembered what Zhao Xin told him that the key to governing the border is whether the relationship between the border people of all ethnic groups and the Han people in Beihai Town cannot be treated differently just because they were once the people of the Shun people or the "New Manchu" banner people under the Qing Dynasty.

So he contacted Zhou Weiguo, who was in charge of the judicial system, and solicited opinions on the situation of "the rape was not achieved, but the victim committed suicide by being mocked."

Zhou Weiguo has been responsible for judicial and judicial affairs in recent years, so he has studied the "Qing Dynasty Laws" and the legal provisions in another time and space. He said that this matter cannot be just about how to deal with it in our era, but about the customary laws of this era.
