493 Exile
The news of Shang Wen's assassination was reported in the newspapers. People have a good impression of this young and capable prime minister. I am still very concerned about his assassination. Many people spontaneously came to visit Shangwen. But they were all sent back by Yingyu. The public knows that the relationship between the two is extraordinary. I won't bother anymore.
Shang Wen was wounded in the right arm. It's hard to handle some copywriting in person in a short period of time. The left hand is very inflexible. Yingyu acts as Shang Wen's right hand to help him with some things. Delicate font. It was hard for Shang Wen to imagine that this guy in front of him would be a martial artist. Yingyu became very concerned about Shangwen. Perhaps it was the grief after the loss of a loved one pinned on Shang Wen. The two became more intimate.
On the issue of dealing with the assassination of the teenager, Shang Wen thought that it was better to go there in person.
Tingwei is equivalent to the current judicial organ, but he is an agency that integrates the police and the procuratorate. Since this case involves an important minister. So the efficiency is not generally high.
In Tingwei's cell, Shang Wen met the young man. At the same time, there are his family, neighbors. and the companion of the teenager.
"You're really efficient." Shang Wen said approvingly. But in my heart I was extremely disgusted.
"Your Excellency has won the prize." The jailer replied with a smile.
"Those are innocent, let them all go. Give them some compensation by the way. Shang Wen said.
"Forget it, I'll go." Shang Wen thought that this was ancient. The situation was nowhere near as it is now. Even in modern times, people who come out of prison are subject to some kind of discrimination. This kind of discrimination is secondary harm. This kind of injury can induce a second offense in some cases. Shang Wen decided that it would be better for him to take care of these things properly.
"Deal with these things in the future and do as I do. It is far more difficult to prevent the harm of a second crime than to arrest a prisoner and go to prison. Shangwen taught.
"What your lord said is very true." The jailer said.
Shang Wen shook his head helplessly. It is very difficult to deal with the set of words. Police, inspection in one. Although the Imperial Doctor is the same as the prosecutorial authority, this is only a part of the prosecutorial power in the judicial system. There's a long way to go.
"Your Excellency. My lord. Help us. Some of the **s in the prison shouted.
"Is this it?" Shangwen asked.
"Yes, yes." The jailer said hurriedly.
"Open." Shang Wen said.
"Whoa." The jailer hurriedly opened it.
"Your Excellency. My lord. The men began to kneel and beg Shangwen.
"Everyone, hurry up. Get up. Shang Wen immediately pulled the kneeling man up. The wound on the right hand was also pulled. Shang Wen endured the pain.
"Listen to me, everyone is fine. Everyone can leave. I'll take care of that. Shang Wen didn't finish his words yet. And they fell to their knees again.
"Everyone, hurry up. Get up. Shang Wen hurriedly said.
"First of all, I want to apologize to you for this. You are innocent. You shouldn't have been caught in. Second, for what follows you. I think you're likely to be discriminated against by others. In order to avoid such a situation. I decided to write a letter of introduction to each of you. Hopefully, I can save you some of the credibility loss. Shang Wen said sincerely.
"Thank you, sir." As he spoke, he knelt down again.
"Don't kneel, everybody. I have a wound on my hand. Shang Wen really couldn't bear it, plus the pain of the wound. The temper is a little anxious.
Then the people stood up in horror.
"I'm sorry, I was rude. There is one more point about what I just did, and I will clarify these things for you. If there's something to come to me directly. But I advise you to emigrate. Maybe you will have a better life than this. Shang Wen said.
"My son, my son, hurt you. You need to save him. As he spoke, a middle-aged man knelt on the ground.
"Uncle, I'll settle this matter properly." Shang Wen said.
"Okay, I'm going to fix this matter as soon as possible." Shang Wen said.
Later, Shang Wen went to the cell where the teenager was being held. As soon as he entered the cell, Shang Wen saw that the boy was covered in wounds. Obviously, there is a black hand in prison.
"Go and call a doctor and treat him. Also, burn your set of torture instruments, you won't need them anymore. Qin's prisons were not places where violence was carried out casually. Shang Wen said tiredly.
"Hmph." The boy snorted heavily through his nostrils, clearly unconvinced.
"Tell me, why did you kill me." Shangwen asked.
"Why don't you annex Korea, why don't you send troops to attack Zhao. If the army had been sent early, the Qin State would have annexed the two countries long ago. The boy said fiercely.
"You are not our Qin people at all, the blood of our Qin people is all shed on the battlefield, and we are not afraid of death. You are not worthy of being the prime minister of our Great Qin, you can't even beat a South Korea. It's just a shame on our Qin people. The boy scolded breathlessly. The beating had exhausted a great deal of his strength.
"That's enough." Shang Wen shouted.
"Knowing what our price is after sending troops to attack South Korea and Zhao Guo. It's death. It's a lot of bones. Shang Wen looked at the young man and said.
"We are not afraid of death." The boy said firmly.
"We are not afraid of death. But our relatives are afraid. Others are afraid, too. Shang Wen said distractedly.
"So, we should unify the Kanto region." The boy continued.
"Child, you are still young and do not understand. Some things are not as extreme as you think. Shang Wen said.
"I know what you're trying to say. And understand why you do it. But I don't have anything to tell you clearly. This is history, you, me, and many others are in the great tide of history. What we can do. Nor can it change the menacing tide of the tide. Shang Wen said.
"You assassinated a high-ranking official, according to the laws of the Qin State, I just checked it. You will be torn apart. Your family, neighbors have also been beheaded for negligence. Shang Wen said.
"Die, die on the battlefield. I'm not convinced. The boy said unconvinced.
"But, now you have received an amnesty from the King of Qin. But it is impossible to exonerate you from the fact of the crime. I can't change that, so I've changed the way you punish you. First of all, your loved ones, neighbors are innocent, they will be acquitted, but I can't guarantee that they will be discriminated against by other people. So, I gave each of them a letter of introduction. If that's not possible, emigrate to other newly established states. As for you. You will be exiled. Rest assured, you won't get tattooed. That is degrading and does not prevent a second offense. You will be sent to the Western Regions. There, perhaps, you still have a chance to take part in the battle. There was fighting everywhere there. There is an extreme shortage of manpower. You will go to war. The bloody cruelty of war will change you. Shang Wen said.
"Alright. White book. You're done with your business. Hope you understand. Shang Wen then left.
