91 Living Guilty Can't Escape

From Heishui Village to Chengcheng, thirty miles away, Luo Feiyu and his party led the horses and walked back with the young and strong men gathered by Wang Er.

Although the Jinyiwei Jingqin did not ride a horse quickly, at least he was not hungry. Wang Er and others were different. There was no spare food in the Heishui Village. He just cleaned up a little, and he was hungry, following Luo Feiyu and others back.

None of them fell behind, no one complained, and they walked for two hours before returning to Chengcheng when it was late at night.

As soon as they entered the city, everyone dispersed. Luo Feiyu didn't say anything more and went to rest.

The next morning, he took Shaanxi Governor Yang He and others to wait in Chengcheng County.

"Trial Master, will these twelve people come to the county government to collect the crime?" Chen Lian asked with some doubts.

Shaanxi Governor Yang He replied with a smile: "Don't worry, lord of the politician, they will come back!"

He is very confident in Wang Er and others.

Chen Lian replied with a smile: "The Governor looks very confident."

"Yes," Yang He replied, "Although Wang Er is a mountain villager, he is a man who values ​​love and righteousness."

Luo Feiyu didn't say anything.

Yang He asked, "How is the Grand Master preparing to deal with the twelve people of Wang Er and other places?"

"What do you think?" Luo Feiyu asked back.

"The death penalty can be avoided, but the living penalty cannot be escaped." Yang He replied. He had obviously thought about it a long time ago.

Luo Feiyu turned to Chen Lian and asked, "What about you? What do you think should be dealt with?"

"Let them go to the border army to serve!" Chen Lian replied.

Luo Feiyu refused to comment, turned to Yang Sichang and asked, "What do you think should be done?"

Yang Sichang was shocked. He didn't expect Luo Feiyu to ask for his opinion, and couldn't help but look at his father Yang He.

"You don't have to look at your father's eyes," Luo Feiyu said, "I'm asking for your opinion."

"Yes!" Yang Sichang stood up and lowered his head and replied, "It's a pity for Wang Er to kill people, but after all, they committed rebellion and cannot be let go of it lightly. Death crimes can be avoided, and living crimes cannot be escaped. It is necessary to publicly announce the execution of public executions in front of the people of the whole city, and inform the counties. Not killing is an extra kindness, and execution of punishment in public is a severe punishment and law. Only by clearly distinguishing rewards and punishments can these fierce soldiers know how to respect and obey."

Luo Feiyu laughed, turned his head to look at Yang He, and said, "The tiger father has no dog son! The son said this and understood much more clearly."

Yang He also stood up and said humbly: "Where is the Grand Master who has been awarded more than me!"

"He is following you and he is a little embarrassed." Luo Feiyu said, "I asked him to go back to the capital with me. Guo Shangshu of the Ministry of Revenue is sorting out tax matters. It is the time to use people. Sichang went to the Ministry of Revenue to do things, and it was also the old horse who knew the way and was familiar with the way."

"This..." Yang He pondered, but his eyes glanced at the excited look on his son Yang Sichang's face. When he thought that the young Grand Master in front of him was not a simple person, he nodded and responded: "Yes! Follow the Grand Master's instructions!"

While talking, there were noise outside the county government office. The Jinyiwei Xiaoqi trotted all the way and reported: "Reported that Wang Er and his twelve people came to the county government office to collect the crime. Outside the county government office, the people gathered but did not disperse."

"Okay, let's go and have a look." Luo Feiyu stood up and walked out first.

Outside the county government, a large number of people had gathered, and a large area was crowded with them. At the county government government, Wang Er and the twelve people lined up and knelt on the ground.

Luo Feiyu and his party came out of the county government, and the gathering crowd immediately became quiet.

"Very good!" Luo Feiyu came to Wang Er and others and said, "You are still men. You come here to collect the crime on time without escaping privately. Wang Er, I ask you, what crime you committed, do you know?"

Wang Er raised his head and replied, "Kill someone!"

"What crime should be committed to murder?"

Wang Er lowered his head, and a strong reluctance appeared in his eyes. He paused for a moment and replied, "Give up your life."

"Speak loudly, I didn't hear it clearly!" Luo Feiyu shouted.

"Murder for life!" Wang Er raised his head, shouting loudly with tears in his eyes.

The people present were silent.

"Murder for life!" Luo Feiyu said loudly, "This is the first of the three rules that Emperor Gaozu of Han made with his fellow villagers in Guanzhong when he entered Guanzhong. He has not forgotten them."

The crowd continued to remain silent. Shaanxi Governor Yang He secretly praised it in his heart. At this time, if the "Da Ming Law" was mentioned, these people would definitely not accept it if they didn't understand it.

Because Wang Er and others killed Zhang Douyao, the magistrate of Chengcheng, who was still collecting taxes with powerful means when the land particles in Chengcheng were not harvested for years, so that the hungry people had no way to go and then rose up to resist.

But taking the three rules when Emperor Gaozu of Han entered Guanzhong, these people had nothing to say. No matter how unbearable the magistrate Zhang Douyao was, he was also an individual. Now Wang Er killed him, which is to kill people, and kill people will pay for their lives.

This principle is so simple and so deeply rooted in people's hearts, but it is so powerful at this time that these people cannot refute it.

In the silence, a sudden commotion in the crowd, and people moved aside. A woman held an old lady and walked out tremblingly.

Wang Er turned his head and looked at it, immediately kowtowed heavily, and cried: "Mom!"

The old lady's white hair, her eyes were already turbid, and she was trembling when walking. Although she heard Wang Er's shout, she did not turn to look. The woman who was holding her eyes turned red, and tears fell down. Behind her was a boy half-year-old, with tears in her eyes, and tightly pulling her clothes.

The three of them supported each other, walked to Wang Er and knelt down. The old lady said something, with a strong accent, and Luo Feiyu didn't even hear clearly what she was saying.

He turned his head and looked at the county magistrate beside him. The county magistrate understood and immediately took two steps forward, saying, "The old woman said that the son did not teach her father's fault. It was just that Wang Er lost his father when he was young, and only she, the widowed mother, was left, so it was her sin. It was also worthwhile to kill someone to pay for his life. It would be useful to keep Wang Er."

Wang Erfu was on the ground and cried loudly. When the others were so aroused, they all felt sad from their hearts, kneeled on the ground and burst into tears.

The black people, no one spoke or organized, knelt down in unison, like seedlings blown down by the strong wind, looking so weak.

It turns out that this is power! Luo Feiyu's heart was shocked.

When he killed Wei Zhongxian, he felt the power that was above power. He controlled the Jinyiwei and killed Tian Ergeng. He felt the sweetness of power for the first time. When the important officials of the court gathered in the study, he felt the drunkenness at the peak of power.

And now, what he felt was the heaviness of power.

Emperor Taizong of Tang said that water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. This is a vivid and thorough way to compare the relationship between the people and power.

The people kneeling in front of them were filled with darkness and crawling in front of power. But if they burst out, it would be blood and fire, enough to burn everything!

Luo Feiyu took a deep breath, walked to the old woman with heavy steps, reached out to pull the three of them up, turned to Wang Er and said, "Wang Er, look, the elders and villagers are pleading for you. You are all old, young, and wife in the middle. You need to think twice before acting! How can you fight for a moment of anger and have a good time to fight for a while?"

He paused for a moment, looked around and continued, "This time, I think that you twelve of you took the initiative to take responsibility for your crime, no one fled, and cried bitterly, and I really felt regretful, so I will give you another chance to reform yourself! However, death penalty can be avoided, and living crime cannot be escaped. Are you convinced?"
