Chapter 299
Wei Xiang's move was so decisive and quick that the others present had no time to react.
It was not until the moment Wei Zheng's headless body fell to the ground that a scream like a tide suddenly burst out.
"The Lord actually..."
"I really killed Wei Zheng!"
"That's the humer-minded minister of Wei who came to Xiayi with the lord."
"It's actually for a Dinu..."
Everyone's faces were extremely complicated, and their hearts were filled with shock.
Wei Xiang squatted down next to Wei Zheng's body.
Wei Zheng was originally a very particular person, but when he turned into a blood-spraying corpse and lay on the ground, he naturally had no way to talk about this particularity.
Wei Xiang carefully wiped the blood from his sword's edge with Wei Zheng's robe sleeve, then sheathed the sword, stood up, and looked around everyone.
Everyone became silent in an instant.
Wei Xiang said lightly: "Doctor said that the law is to be abide by it when he issued the law.
Many people think that they are from the Wei family, old ministers, Chinese people, and misunderstandings, so they have a sense of superiority.
It seems that as long as he is stronger than others, even if he is a little stronger, he can hurt others at will.
Indeed, this was indeed the rule that many years before the Great Jin Dynasty.
But I said, this rule is wrong.
People are born equal.
Whether it is the Wei family, Huang's father, or Li Rong, I don't care.
What’s important is that you—all from Xiayi.
Between Xiayi people and Xiayi people, I don’t talk about official positions or titles.
I only preach.
Those who do not abide by the law will end up like this.
I can tell you all, not just Wei Zheng, if one day my wife and my child break the law, I will deal with him according to law.
You may not understand, you may not understand, but that doesn't matter.
I hope you remember one sentence - a doctor breaks the law and commits the same crime as the common people!"
For a long time after Wei Xiang finished speaking, there was still silence in the lobby.
These ancient people looked at the scene in front of them quietly, and many people showed thoughtful expressions on their faces.
They may not understand what a true rule of law society is, but when Wei Zheng's bloody corpse is placed in front of them, they will find ways to think about this issue carefully, whether passive or active.
If you want to continue to survive in Xiayi, you must abide by the rules of Xiayi.
Among many other territories, the rules are the mood and tongue of the lords and officials.
But in Xiayi, rules are laws!
Wei Xiang has proved to everyone with practical actions what the consequences would be if he did not abide by the law!
Wei Xiang turned around and looked at Wei Rui: "What are you waiting for? Hang Wei Zheng's head out and show his public at the entrance of the valley to serve as a warning!"
Then, Wei Xiang turned his gaze on Xiu Hei.
After thinking about it, Wei Xiang took out a dagger from the other side of his waist and placed it on Xiuhei's hand.
"Xuhei, from today on, you will be a real Xiayizhong. As a sorry for your previous negligence in work, Wei Zheng's mansion will belong to you from today on.
In addition, I will give you this dagger.
If one day there is another person who dares to do anything illegal to you, then you can use this dagger - kill him.
Remember, it’s not this dagger standing behind you, not me, but the law!”
Xiuhei's body kept trembling. Suddenly, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Wei Xiang sincerely: "Xuhei, thank you for being fair!"
The first trial in Xiayi ended like this, but the consequences gradually emerged in the following days.
Because Wei Zheng's illegal behavior was not investigated enough, many Xiayi officials, including Wei Rui, were punished. Since there was no precedent in this matter, the punishment was mainly based on salary penalties.
In the following days, the number of people surrounding the New Law bulletin board and tour guide at the market entrance increased significantly, almost every day, there were three layers inside and three layers outside.
More people began to believe in the law, and the drum of injustice was ringed again and again.
A month later, a total of eighteen heads were hung at the entrance of Xiayi Valley.
"Eighteen bastards..." Wei Xiang sighed: "Xia Yi only has more than 10,000 people, but there are actually 18 bastards?"
Intuition tells Wei Xiang that there are more bastards who have not been voluntarily reported or sued.
So Wei Xiang came to Lan Jie and said, "I want you to do something."
Lan Jie touched her head and said, "What's the matter?"
Wei Xiang said: "I want to form a department, a department that allows me to control everyone's movements quietly."
After Wei Xiang explained it clearly, Lan Jie asked a question: "What should this department be called?"
Jinyiwei? Imperial City? Blood Drops?
After many names kept passing through our minds, Wei Xiang made a decision: "Just call it - 'Nightingale'."
The famous spy spy organization "Nightinging" was established in such an ordinary daytime, and Lan Jie, the "second brother-in-law" of Wei Xiang, naturally became Nightingale's first leader.
Why is Lan Jie in charge of the Nightingale? The answer is simple, because Lan Jie is loyal enough.
In terms of intelligence, Wei Rui and even Xia Jing are above Lan Jie, but intelligence is not the necessary quality to control the Nightingale.
Because for a long time, the entire system, details, candidates, training, etc. of the Nightingale will be written by Wei Xiang, and all Lan Jie needs to do is convey and execute it.
It took Wei Xiang three months to completely build the structure of the Nightingale organization and to train the Nightingale members in a preliminary manner.
Nightingale, who had just successfully trained, immediately gave an answer that satisfies Wei Xiang. In the fourth month, a total of 32 new heads were hung at the gate of Xiayi.
Just as Wei Xiang was sharpening his sword and preparing to kill the criminals in the fifth month and intending to initially expand the Nightingale's power to other nearby territories, a new news disrupted his rhythm.
"Zheng is defeated, and Marquis Zheng surrenders to Chu!"
Looking at the urgent letter from Jiangdu Shi Mansion in his hand, Wei Xiang was silent for a long time and summoned Xia Jing.
"Call five hundred soldiers immediately and follow me to Jiangdu!"
Over the past few years, although Wei Xiang has changed many things and many people as much as possible, it turns out that he has not done enough.
