As we all know, in the old society, Chinese folk often had armed struggles and vendettas. First, due to the imperfect legal system, the people's education level is not high, and they lack legal awareness, they can only go to extremes when encountering things. Second, at that time, the lawsuit was time-consuming and laborious, and many people were dragged down by the lawsuit and ruined, and everyone had no money to fight the lawsuit. The third is the inertia of the tradition that has been formed for a long time.
During the Republic of China, Linyi, Shandong, had the surnames of Tang and Wang, and they had a deep vendetta and killed each other. In 1925, the Wang family broke into the Tang family and killed 6 members of the Tang family, and 5 years later, that is, in 1930, the Tang family gathered people to take revenge, killing 7 members of the Wang family, and killing 13 people in just 6 years, which was really a human tragedy.
As a result, an even more tragic thing was encountered, that is, the Shandong warlord Han Fuyu tried the case. Han Fuyu is a famous Hun person in history, and there are many jokes about Han Fuyu in the folk, although most of them are nonsense, but it is enough to see Han Fuyu's wind evaluation in the folk.
According to the recollection of Wang Yimin, who was then a senator of the Shandong Provincial Government, Han Fuyu was particularly fond of going on tour, and he called himself "inspecting the sufferings of the people." In fact, he was acting as a mighty man and playing with prestige.
Once he went to Linyi County and examined the case as usual, what was interesting was that Han Fuyu felt that he was discerning and judged the case like a god, in fact, he did as he pleased, and regarded the law as nothing.
I will give you an example, at that time, Shandong stipulated that officials at the county level could only wear cloth socks, and once Han Fuyu found out that the county magistrate of Gaomi County was wearing threaded socks, he couldn't help but be angry and wanted to remove him from his post and investigate. Zhang Honglie, then director of the Shandong Construction Department, said that at that time, it was only stipulated that the county magistrate could only wear cloth socks, and there was no provision for the removal of threaded socks, which meant that the regulation itself was incomplete. As soon as Han Fuyu thought it made sense, he said that he would be remembered as a big mistake, and this county magistrate would be remembered too much.
Whether he was dismissed or remembered was between Han Fuyu's thoughts, and you can imagine how his case was handled. When Han Fuyu learned that there was still a trend of mutual hatred and killing in the local area, he was greatly angered, and the Republic of China also engaged in family vendetta.
Han Fuyu sent a message from the Tang and Wang families, asking the people of the Tang family, "How many people are still in your family?" The tang family replied: "There are 11 people, the oldest is 84 years old, the youngest is 12 years old." After Han Fuyu finished asking, he immediately ordered that all the Tang family members be pulled out and shot.
Everyone was shocked and inexplicable, what was going on, and asked how many people in the family were going to shoot the whole family. The governor of Linyi County quickly explained: "The surname Wang also killed people." What he meant was that the two surnames hated each other, killed and injured each other, and what was the reason for shooting all the Tang surnames.
Han Fuyu replied very absolutely, he said: "In the fourteenth year of the Republic of China (1925), I have not yet come to be the chairman of the province, I do not care about the things at that time, the nineteenth year of the Republic of China (1930), the nineteenth year of the Republic of China, I became the chairman of Shandong Province, the Tang surname dared to kill people indiscriminately, that is not possible!" You don't talk much." Everyone was frightened and didn't say a word.
At that time, the consultant Zhang Liansheng advised him to let the 84-year-old man go, and Han Fuyu said that "if he stays, he will cry to death, and he will be killed." As a result, the Tang family, young and old, whether innocent or not, were shot dead, and such a warlord style of taking people's lives was really cold.
