Chapter 98 [Forbearance is limited, if you can't bear it, kill it](1/2)
A moment later, at the door of the inn.
But I saw a group of fierce soldiers from the Detachment of Women holding horizontal knives in their hands, staring fiercely at the two government officials opposite. The two government officials opposite were risking their lives, assuming a rogue posture that was not afraid of death.
I heard the two people keep arguing: "According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, people who violate the law will be punished. We are ordered to arrest people, why do you obstruct them? Is it possible that the Detachment of Women deliberately protected the bandits, and you were behind the scenes to instigate the theft?"
"Fuck your mother." The soldiers were so angry that they almost wanted to kill them with knives.
However, the two government officials were not afraid. Instead, they laughed and asked, "Since it was not your instigation, why did you protect that Liu family? Since it was not your instigation, why did you stop us from arresting this person?"
These two people had sharp words and were very skilled in throwing dirty water. They seemed vaguely not like ordinary domestic slaves, but rather like people who were very good at this.
They held the arrest documents in their hands and kept questioning loudly, and said: "We hold the documents signed by the county magistrate, and we follow the laws and regulations of the Tang Dynasty. However, you actually regard it as nothing. Could it be that the Detachment of Women can ignore the king's law?"
Although the soldiers of the Detachment of Women were extremely tough, they were obviously at a disadvantage in their ability to talk. They had no choice but to curse and get furious but they did not dare to kill anyone.
The reason is simple. Zhao Ning ordered them to endure it before leaving.
Fortunately, Gu Tianya finally arrived at this time.
Yan Jiu hurriedly came up to them and lowered his voice: "Gu...Gong Gu, please be careful. These two are not ordinary government servants. They are good at finding excuses for others, and their words are extremely tricky."
Gu Tianya nodded slowly and said, "Don't worry, I know them."
As he spoke, he took a few steps forward and looked at the two yamen servants. Suddenly a smile appeared on his face and he said with deep meaning: "I originally thought that the person who came was a slave of the Sun family, but I didn't expect that it turned out to be a direct descendant of the Sun family.
, both of them are powerful people in the clan, right? No wonder they can use words to force my colleagues..."
The expressions of the two people from the Sun family on the opposite side did not change at all, as if they did not care about their identity being revealed. They just continued to hold up the arrest document and said: "What can we do, regardless of our background? Even if we are people from the Sun family, can't we?"
Do you serve the people as a government servant?"
"Good, what a great person to work for the people!" Gu Tianya praised and gave a thumbs up to the two of them.
Suddenly he turned around, looked at Niuniu's mother who was being protected by the soldiers, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law Liu, come here. Since they have brought the arrest documents, we have to make a trip today anyway.
But you don’t have to be afraid, we are just taking a trip..."
Niu Niu's mother walked out quickly and hid behind him with a panicked face.
Gu Tianya gave her a gentle encouragement, turned to look at the two government officials again, and said, "Let's go!"
Unexpectedly, the two people from the Sun family shook their heads suddenly and said firmly: "According to the law, this woman is guilty. She should be held in chains and taken to the county government for questioning."
Gu Tianya's face suddenly darkened, and he said solemnly: "How can we convict someone without an interrogation? We both know each other's thoughts. You want to use chains to arrest people, but you are just trying to get rid of them.
People have preconceptions. If Mrs. Liu is locked up by you, others will subconsciously think that she is guilty. Do you think I will agree to such dirty tricks?"
He exposed the opponent's conspiracy without any scruples.
However, the two Sun family members had tough faces and continued to hold up the arrest documents and said loudly: "We are following the laws of the Tang Dynasty. Do you want to ignore the king's laws?"
"Wang Fa? Haha!"
Gu Tianya laughed suddenly, then turned to look at the head of the village and shouted from a distance: "Eldest brother, second brother, wife, come here quickly, someone here is talking to me about the king's law..."
Suddenly there was a sound of laughter from the other side, and the Li brothers and sisters were seen coming hand in hand.
Zhaoning was the first to speak, and said with pride: "Talking about royal laws? Yes! My men are relatives of the state, and ordinary royal laws cannot be imposed on me. Is this what I say is not acceptable?"
In this era, there is no saying that princes break the law and common people are guilty.
Zhao Ning even used her own title, clearly using her status as a princess to oppress others.
If you make a fuss about a piece of shitty paperwork, don't blame me for mercilessly slapping you in the face.
Want to talk about Wang Fa?
Is Mr. Liu chained up?
no!
The two people from the Sun family were obviously stunned, with anxious looks flashing in their eyes. However, they reacted quickly. They instantly thought of their words and said loudly: "The person we want to arrest is the thief Liu family, not Gu Tianya."
, even if he is a relative of the country, what does he have to do with this matter?"
The implication is self-evident, Niu Niu’s mother is not a relative of the country, and since she is not a relative of the country, she must abide by the laws of the country.
In other words, they still have the power to chain and seize people.
These two people deserve to be from aristocratic families, and this excuse can really stop Zhao Ning from talking. Niu Niu's mother is a commoner and is not qualified to evade the law.
Unfortunately, Zhao Ning is not the only one present today.
Li Shimin spoke.
When it comes to pretentiousness, Li Shimin didn't say anything inferior to others, but when he saw him clasping his hands behind his back, he said calmly: "From today on, the Liu family is no longer a Limin. According to the decree of the Empress of the Tang Dynasty, the Liu family in Hebei was given the life wife.
Because of the hardships involved in raising children, she can be regarded as an example for widowed women in the world. I am so moved by God that I should give her a wife."
What is a life wife?
The married woman is the official body of a woman.
After having an official status, she is no longer a commoner. Although she still has to abide by the laws, ordinary laws are no longer imposed on her. For example, chains cannot bind her.
The two people from the Sun family were obviously stunned again, and they all looked at Li Shimin blankly. After a long time, the two people suddenly came to their senses and argued hurriedly: "There is no queen in the Tang Dynasty, so how can the queen's decree come from it?"
There is indeed no queen in the Tang Dynasty.
Because Li Yuan’s wife had a medical condition six years ago.
Although the queen was granted the title after the founding of the country, it was still a title granted to the deceased. Therefore, the counterattack of the two government officials was very cunning. There is indeed no queen in the Tang Dynasty.
Since there is no queen, how can there be any explanation of Yi's decree?
It's a pity that they ignored Li Shimin's identity.
But seeing Li Shimin's face calm, as if he was saying a truth that could not be denied, he leisurely said: "The Queen is my mother, and I convey the decree for her. That's it. Can't that be done?"
As he spoke, he looked at the two of them and said with an indifferent expression: "If you are still not convinced, then I will give you another excuse. After I fell asleep last night, my mother entrusted me with a dream in the sky and asked me to convey a decree for her.
Are you satisfied with the rhetoric of granting Ms. Liu the title of destiny wife?"
The two people from the Sun family were stunned and felt that their faces seemed to be burning with pain.
That's right, Li Shimin was just slapping them both in the face.
And he fought without any scruples.
The imperial edict just now was fake and was fabricated by me, Li Shimin, on the spur of the moment, but what can you do to me? I said Mrs. Liu is the fateful wife and she is the fateful wife.
Not convinced?
Can!
But you have to endure it.
The two government officials obviously didn't want to endure it, because what happened today was not just as simple as taking someone in chains.
But before they could say anything, they suddenly saw another man step forward slowly, with a kind face: "Hehehehe, let's get to know each other, Li Jiancheng of the Tang Dynasty, who reluctantly became a prince..."
The only one is Li Jiancheng!
Barely becoming a prince!
This was said so plainly, but the two government officials stood dumbfounded on the spot.
The prince has also come forward. Do they still dare to chain someone? Even if they know that the queen's decree is not there at all, they can only hold their noses and admit it now.
It's a pity that although they recognized each other, Li Jiancheng was unwilling to let them go. He suddenly smiled and asked: "Do you want to make a promise to you that my mother also entrusted me with a dream last night?"
How could two people from the Sun family dare to fight against each other?
The two of them did not dare to argue, but Li Jiancheng still refused to let go. Suddenly his face turned cold and he said solemnly: "If you talk about the king's law in front of me, then I will talk to you about the king's law. According to the first law of the Tang Dynasty, the prince is the crown prince of the country.
, what are your identities? How dare you meet you without being polite?"
The two people from the Sun family were immediately startled, and almost unanimously wanted to see him as a gift.
It was a pity that Li Jiancheng suddenly roared and said in a more serious tone: "It's too late! Anyone who shows disrespect to you will have two sentences according to the law. The small sentence means eighty floggings, and the big sentence means beheading and execution."
This is indeed the case in ancient law. Any crime will have two sentences. You can choose a major sentence or a minor sentence.
The faces of the two Sun family members suddenly turned pale. Even if they thought with their toes, they could tell how Li Jiancheng would judge and how Li Jiancheng would judge.
Sure enough, Li Jiancheng slowly raised his hand and said calmly: "Prince Wei Commander, why don't you execute the sentence?"
Puff, puff, it’s two swords.
Two heads flew up.
It wasn't until the two Sun family members fell into a pool of blood that Li Jiancheng's expression returned to his sincerity. He turned to look at Gu Tianya, who was standing blankly on the spot, and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, you have to remember that you can't tolerate this kind of thing."
It depends on the situation of each other. If the two sides are evenly matched, then you can tolerate it. But if flies and dogs also offend you, do you also choose to reason with them and tolerate it? Then you will be very tired, and it is impossible to reason.
"
Next to him, Li Shimin sneered, and said with a bit of hatred: "This kid still hasn't been able to recognize his identity. He hasn't been able to adapt to the power of his royal relatives."
Gu Tianya still stood there blankly, and after a long time he murmured: "A relative of the emperor? Can you kill people?"
Li Shimin sneered again and asked lightly: "Otherwise, where do you think our Li family came from?"
He pointed to the two people of the Sun family on the ground and said: "They are from aristocratic families, so they cannot be sentenced to death casually, but they chose to serve as government servants in order to achieve their goals. This gives us an opportunity. As
