You don't investigate when an official dies? What did the Qing Dynasty do?

 Synopsis: Behind every suicide is a shocking dark secret!      

 6moon12morning10At about time, deputy secretary-general of the guangdong provincial party committee, zhanjiang municipal party committee former secretary liu xiaohua in guangzhou home in the study with cloth hanged to death. On the same day, Xiao Bibo, director of the Yantian District Secrecy Bureau in Shenzhen, jumped off a bridge and fell into the water, and was confirmed dead after failing to be rescued. In recent months, news of official suicides can be seen almost every little while.      

 We don't know how many secrets are hidden behind those officials who took their lives lightly, but we can agree that there must be an ulterior motive behind a good person's choice to end his life. Not long ago, Shi Yingkang, the godfather of the medical profession and former president of West China Hospital, died. Relevant sources revealed that before Shi's death, a disciplinary department was investigating him, and that Shi Yingkang might have been under pressure from the outside world on the day of his suicide.
     

 So many days have passed, and the news of Shi Yingkang's death has gradually faded into oblivion. In a few months' time, no one may care about what the godfather of the medical profession actually made the choice to cut his own career short because of. Let's make an irresponsible assumption. If President Shi had done something against the rules in partnership with others, wouldn't it be true that once the main person involved died, the trail of the case would be interrupted and the other participants would be able to get away with it? Is this the main reason why countless officials around the world have no choice but to say goodbye to their lives? Thinking about it, I can't help but think of a strange injustice in the Qing Dynasty, let's take a look at how our government dealt with officials hundreds of years ago!"commit suicide"event, where of course the"commit suicide"It's not that innocent.

   Jiaqing 13th year (1808Li Yuchang (李毓昌), a native of Jimo (即墨), Shandong Province, passed the entrance examination and was qualified to serve as a magistrate, and went to Jiangsu Province to take up his post.　The following year, Governor Tiebao ordered Li Yuchang to investigate the disaster relief in Shanyang County. When he arrived in Shanyang County, he went to the grassroots level to ask the people and check the household accounts, and was informed of the corruption of Wang Shenhan, the governor of Shanyang, who had fraudulently claimed the money for the relief supplies, so he opened an account book and was ready to disclose it to his superiors. Wang Shenhan was informed of the news, feel afraid, heavy bribes, Li Yuchang did not move; and plotting to steal the account books, so that the servant Baoxiang and Li Yuchang's servants Li Xiang, Gu Xiang and Ma Liansheng conspiracy, or did not get it, and so intends to kill Li Yuchang.
       

One day, Wang Shenhan invited Li Yuchang to his apartment for a drink, and when he came back in the evening, Li Yuchang felt thirsty, so Li Xiang poured poison into the water and told Li Yuchang to drink it, and Li Yuchang drank it and went to bed. In the middle of the night, he felt abdominal pain and sat up, Pao Cheung held his head from behind, Li Yuchang chortled:"What do you want?"Li Xiang replied:"We can no longer serve Mr."Ma Lien Sheng undid his own belt and hoisted him up.

  Afterwards, Wang Shenhan to Li Yuchang hanged himself upward report. Huai'an governor Wang Hub sent pallbearers to check it out and came back to report:"The body had blood in its mouth."Wang Hub was very angry, the pallbearer beat, pallbearer had to modify the autopsy report, to hang himself to report up. Li Yuchang's clan uncle Li Taiqing and Shen Mou rushed from Shandong to meet the funeral in Shanyang County, checking his books, saw half of the remnants of the manuscript, which reads:"The governor of Shanyang had fraudulently claimed the money and goods for disaster relief, and he tried to buy me off with favors, which I dared not accept for fear of failing the Son of Heaven."It was a letter written to the Governor, and the servants had not had time to destroy it. After Li Yuchang s body was transported back to his hometown, his wife had a nightmare and opened the coffin to look at it, and saw Li Yuchang s face as if he was alive. Stick a silver needle into it and the needle went black.

Li Taiqing then petitioned to Beijing, sued to the metropolitan police, demanding the arrest of Wang Hu, Wang Shenhan and those servants to the Ministry of Justice for interrogation. This side of Shandong's press commissioner Zhu Xiju also examined Li Yuchang's body, only the chest bone is normal, the other are black. This is because the poison attack has not yet died, but was hanged.        

This matter reported up, the Jiaqing Emperor was furious, beheaded Baoxiang, Gu Xiang and Ma Liansheng was executed by lynching, Li Xiang's heart was dissected out to sacrifice Li Yuchang's tomb, Wang Hub, Wang Shenhan are dealt with in accordance with the Qing law, the Governor of the following that the depreciation of the depreciation of the descending of the descending of the governor, Governor Tiebao himself removed from his post, sent to guard the frontier, the governor of the withdrawal of Wang Rizhang.

The posthumous reward of Li Yuchang for the title of governor; Jiaqing Emperor himself composed a poem, praising Li Yuchang, and let the poem engraved on the tombstone; Li Yuchang no children, his stepson plus grace reward for the Jurchen.

       Unless the dynastic revolution, ancient officials suicide is very rare. Because the interest is not too much, fishing and eating enough, it is easy to retreat, no one will go after. Wang Zhenhan could have retreated, which met the "fear of negative son of God" Li Yuchang, swallowed the crime of disaster relief money can not afford to think of a number of ways to solve the problem, and then started to kill. Li Yuchang never expected, as a court official, was killed, simply as easy as a slap on the wrist. And the injustice, but also because there is a literate clan uncle in the clan, otherwise this case of injustice will be sunk into the bottom of the river of history, the truth forever disappeared.

So much for the case of Li Yuchang, but of course this responsible Qing leader didn't really hang himself."commit suicide", and the current situation is different. But there are commonalities, such as the fact that all of these people in office died in the"meet with a mishap"before, and as soon as the person dies, no surprise everything winds down. According tocriminal procedureIf a suspect or defendant dies, he or she shall not be held criminally responsible, and if he or she has already been held criminally responsible, the case shall be dismissed, or no prosecution shall be instituted, or the trial shall be terminated, or he or she shall be acquitted, which undoubtedly gives even more weight to the"A wave of official suicides"It pushes the envelope a bit; it allows the wrongdoers hiding behind the darkness to seize the loopholes in the law:Just find one."good teammate"Then the whole crew can be saved!  
   

  And, in fact, whether or not the law supports the retention of the right to pursue the deceased, this moralistic view of the"Leave the dead alone and go to the grave."The feudalistic thinking of the official is questionable. If the suicidal official is really a just and clean official, his sudden death by suicide will leave the public with a"person suspected of embezzlement"The image of the deceased, even if the inspection team to stop the investigation of the deceased, his family will want to open the door, the prosecutors one by one to invite in, but also loved ones a clean name, really into the ground! So, the procedural law is really just standing in the perspective of the deceased to start for the sake of the deceased, or?
