Chapter 779: Killing Chickens and Monkeys
When Liu Liuguanhai and the others stepped forward, Liu Yi had been observing in detail in the rear, the reason why he didn't immediately reveal his identity was to see if there was arrogance in the land of Jin County, although it was a big family and a big business, it was not too much, and it was common to judge people by their appearance at this time, so there was no need to be too harsh, and the subsequent conflict was not only Liu Ping's stubbornness, but also Liu Liu's first shot, and it was too strange to hit the door and not dare to resist! Therefore, Liu Yi did not take deep responsibility for the actions of everyone in the Liu Mansion, and Liu Liu's action was also inevitable.
"Get up, there is something to ask the lonely relatives here today, Liu Zhi you sit down and talk." Seeing that everyone knelt on the ground with a look of fear, Liu Yi's face slowed down and said, he is only here to give an explanation to the people about the affairs of the Feng family, as for the disputes in front of the mansion, he will naturally not care about it, the so-called ignorant are not guilty, and these people in front of him are not worth worrying about with them!
"In front of the Yan Wang frame, how can there be a place for the grass people to sit, in the public and private, Liu Zhidu should be solemn and teachable." Thinking of the many rumors about Liu Yi, and seeing Qin Bao and the other eight black-clothed people and Liu Ping's appearance, Liu Zhi was already faintly aware in his heart, it must be that this unscrupulous son did something inappropriate but happened to crash into King Yan's eyes! But seeing that Liu Yi's face was softened, and his words were not too harsh, his mind was a little calm, although he was given to sit in front of him, where did he dare to sit in front of King Yan!
In terms of identity, King Yan is just a white body, but he has some net worth by taking advantage of the momentum in the clan, how can the difference be thousands of miles? Speaking of seniority, Liu Yi is his uncle, and now that Liu Liu, Liu Qi and others are still standing, how can he sit peacefully? At that moment, he said extremely respectfully, and after saying that, he lowered his hands and bowed his head and stood aside, and everyone in the Liu Mansion also got up but didn't dare to make a sound.
"Liu Liu, tell me everything that Liu Ping has done." Liu Yi didn't insist on it anymore when he heard the words, the reason why he gave Liu Zhi to sit was just to show the meaning of the same clan, seeing that he was so natural, even if Liu Liu told all the things that happened last night, his eyes also carefully examined Liu Zhi's expression, and he didn't seem to know the details of his performance, if this is the case, this person is at most the fault of not being strict with his godson, but if he knows it but does not stop it, it is that the father and son are in the same stream, and the methods of dealing with the two are naturally different, Liu Yi believes that his truth and falsehood can't escape his eyes!
When Liu Liu heard this, he told Liu Zhi what happened yesterday clearly, and in order to show that there was solid evidence, he specially escorted the eight black-clothed people to the court! Originally, today I heard that a group of people who captured themselves were going to come to the Liu Mansion in Jin County, Qin Bao still had a fluke in his heart, the strength of the Liu family here is not ordinary, and if it is handled properly, it is difficult for the county government to pursue it, who knew that the person who captured him was actually the subordinate of King Yan, no wonder they seemed so vulnerable, but the person who guarded King Yan must be one in a thousand, how could it be that ordinary nursing homes could compete? Hearing Liu Liu ask about this matter at this time, the eight of them were all detailed and didn't dare to hide it anymore!
In fact, they are already lucky when it comes to this matter, King Yan was in that village house last night, and what is the difference between the behavior of himself and others and the assassination? With the skills of those elusive people, if they really want to kill them, they will not let them live to this day, I am afraid it is also an easy matter, now it seems that King Yan just wants to investigate this matter, even if they receive punishment, their lives must be fine.
The eight of them were still able to stammer, but when Liu Ping was brought up, he was trembling all over, his lips trembled, and it was difficult to say a complete sentence, you must know that King Yan was in that mountain village, and he didn't dare to do so, this is not a simple crime, how can they offend the majesty of King Yan, which is enough to punish him with death, and in the rumors, Liu Yi has never been a soft-hearted person, and he is even more decisive in killing! But even if he doesn't say anything, the words of the eight people and his expression are enough to explain everything!
"King Yan, this matter is all because the grass people have no way to teach their sons, I didn't expect this rebel son to dare to act so boldly, and now the evidence is conclusive and he can't deny it, how to deal with it, but it depends on King Yan's decision, it's just, it's just that the family nephew only relies on this rebel son to pass the incense, and I hope that King Yan will forgive the death penalty!" As the saying goes, knowing the son is more than the father, looking at Liu Ping's words and deeds, Liu Zhi's heart is like a mirror, he must be motivated by the lust to do this illegal thing, and even provoked the head of King Yan, this time he was not lightly angry, and immediately came to Liu Yi to kneel down and bow down, but after all, it was the deep love of father and son, although he was distressed when he saw Liu Ping in anger, he still pleaded for him!
In fact, when it comes to forcibly robbing people's daughters, the crime is not to death according to the law, the heaviest is exile to the frontier, not to mention that according to later generations, Liu Ping is still an attempted crime, which belongs to the type that can be punished lightly! But in Liu Zhi's heart, his son sent someone to spy on King Yan's whereabouts and plot misdeeds is enough for him to die a hundred times, the law is important, but it is indeed much lighter than the majesty of the king, and what worries him the most is still here, if King Yan really investigates it, not only will the life of his beloved son not be guaranteed, but the Liu family in Jin County will also be implicated.
"It seems that you really don't know about this matter, it was all done by Liu Ping in private, and even so, you are at most a godson who is not strict! But the sage has a saying that the people are precious, the society is secondary, and the monarch is light, and compared with the people, the Son of Heaven is still light, not to mention Liu Pinghu? This matter must be severely punished, otherwise what is the law of the country? This is righteousness, even the people in the lonely clan can not indulge it, I heard that Pingzhang is quite prestigious in this Jin County, you talk to Lonely, what crime should this Liu Ping deserve! From Liu Zhi's expression, Liu Yi could already see that this matter was Liu Ping's intention, and asked with a deep sigh.
At this time, most of the laws of the states in Youzhou are from the hands of Liu Yi, and the details of this are even more well known, Liu Ping's crime is a heavy punishment and the crime is not to death, but Liu Zhi's thoughts when he spoke are also very well understood, since ancient times, all dynasties in China have quite detailed laws, but it has never been a country with a legal system, the dignity of the superior is not to be taken lightly, the privileged class can be above the law, the so-called prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, it is more just a propaganda technique, this reality has a deep historical foundation, Even Liu Yi can't change it, he can only try to increase the fairness of the law, but the human system will always be the theme for a long time to come.
"Back to King Yan, the grass people and the law are not proficient, but the king of Yan is a person who loves the people like a son, since this son touches the law, he should be convicted by the government, if the king of Yan agrees, the grass people will immediately send it to the county government to listen to the Huang County Lieutenant's impartial decision! That Feng Qian's family should also compensate for being frightened and disturbed, but before that, they should be investigated for the following crimes, and this move should be punished by the cane according to the family law in my clan, and it can be sent to the county government first! Hearing Liu Yi's words, Liu Zhi was quite happy in his heart, it seems that King Yan will not pursue his son's offense, as long as he can save his beloved son's life, it is not a bad thing to let him suffer some hardships, and he hurriedly said in a deep voice at the moment.
He didn't care about sending it to the county government for public judgment, that is, the punishment of exile could be replaced by a punishment for the family, at most it was just a team, but in his heart, the crime he committed was better than Liu Ping's actions last night, he didn't know much about the law, but the family law couldn't be unclear, Liu Yi was the patriarch of the Liu family in the party in addition to the identity of King Yan, and he disciplined the clansmen very strictly on weekdays, Of course, he also has something in his heart, and this Feng family can get the support of King Yan, which must have something to do with it, and it must not be underestimated.
Obviously, Liu Zhi's guess is far from what Liu Yi thinks in his heart, but that is because Lang Sheng has the experience of later generations, and his thoughts are very different from many people in this era, at least Liu Liu and others are quite satisfied with his arrangement after hearing Liu Zhi's remarks, standing in the position of King Yan, this is enough to explain to the people! This incident happened in Jizhou, if it was not under the rule of King Yan, how could there be such a punishment?
"Well, Pingzhang's words are not unfair, even so, you immediately send someone to send Liu Ping and these eight people to the county government, Liu Liu, you can tell the county lieutenant about this matter, and ask him to send someone to Fengjia Village to bring the Feng Qian family to the county, and after he arrives, he will try the case with the day after tomorrow, and he will listen to his decision in person! As for the matter of this law, I will write it down for the time being, and it will not be too late to do it after the county government decides! Liu Zhi may not be clear about the law, but Liu Yi can recite it backwards, with Liu Ping's crime as serious as three years, and 60 canes, but because of this, he can be punished lightly if he is not able to succeed, it depends on how the county lieutenant decides the case, and he does not want to influence his decision.
It is this three-year cane punishment of sixty or Liu Yi's improvement after the increase in punishment, if it is a human life, this sentence can not be punished, but also to investigate the responsibility of the life lawsuit, the original law on this is even lighter, it is precisely because of this that such things are common in all dynasties, and Liu Yi is to improve it can only be limited to a certain range, in addition to increasing the punishment also stipulates the details of compensation, here is also a benefit to the people, the inequality of status will inevitably cause the inequality of the law, This will be difficult to solve in the future! It is impossible for Liu Yi's improvement to transcend the scope of the times, otherwise it is likely to have the opposite effect!
As for the law of this public trial, it is the real purpose of Liu Yi's move, he wants to use this to establish his authority, King Yan treats his family so harshly, it is definitely a powerful deterrent to the children of other scholars, it may not be perfect in Liu Yi's mind, but it is enough to make the people grateful, the closer the war is approaching, the more Lang Sheng needs internal stability and the support of the people, and Liu Ping's move is giving him the opportunity to publicize it!
