Chapter 15 The Countermeasures of the Mur Qiuluo
"Thirty rods...... Chop chop hands? ”
Originally, the punishment of thirty rods could still hold up to everyone, but the "chopping hands" in the back was extremely terrifying. Most of the people in the tribe work with their hands to make a living, and if they cut off their hands, won't they be cut off?
So someone hurriedly begged for mercy: "Marquis of Mao, I'll wait...... We are really hot-headed, thinking that we are a first-time offender, please be magnanimous and spare me a small life! ”
As soon as the man spoke, many of the people knelt down and begged for mercy. Some people who didn't know anything were still standing straight, and they were pulled down by the old woman on the side.
More than fifty people kowtowed like pounding garlic, which was also an incomparably spectacular sight in this tribe; What's more, the news of this matter has already spread, and almost everyone has come to see the excitement, and there are three layers inside and three layers outside, and there are even a few slave owners who are guests here.
When those slave owners saw this spectacular scene, they all thought: "Diao people are Diao people, for such a small profit, they don't care about face, and now they know that they are begging for mercy, and they really deserve to be chopped up!" ”
Seeing the lively crowd talking about it, or discussing whether this law is reasonable, but Taijia, who didn't want to stand behind Mao Qiuluo, said: "You go on, don't you still want to rob?" How do you know that you are going to chop your hands and be honest? ”
The man who knelt on the ground turned blue and purple for a while, but he did not dare to come out; Mo Qiu Luo looked around, and said loudly: "It's not that I don't save face, this method is the method left by my ancestors, even if it is me, I must implement it!" Come, detain everyone here, and execute them tomorrow! ”
The crowd was in an uproar, some scolding and some applauding; Taijia stood behind Mo Qiu Luo alone, watching the people who offended him being justified, and he got great satisfaction in his heart!
"I relied on the salt money I earned by legitimate means, so that you people wanted to rob me of my things, and now I know what it tastes like! You say yes, right? …… Xingfu, poor Jian, what's wrong with the two of you? ”
Taijia is preparing to show off with the two, but he doesn't want the two of them to look like earth, as if they have lost their vitality; Taijia suddenly remembered what Qian Jian said before, the of his family is in this team, and Xingfu's father is greedy, so he must be among these people!
In other words, the people punished this time are also the close relatives of the two of them!
"Taijia, you go and ask for a favor for the Marquis of Mao, let him ...... Don't punish me dad! "The little apricot pear blossom brought rain, which hurt the Thai armor, "Although my father is not honest, he is my father after all!" If the Marquis chops off his hand, he is afraid of ......"
What are you afraid of? It's okay to cut it down, let him go to gambling again, let him go to domestic violence again! Taijia only dared to mumble in his heart, and he never dared to say it.
Xingfu didn't dare to continue, he was already crying loudly, and the Taijia who saw it panicked; How could I ever think that poor Jian also said: "Taijia, although my mother is strict, but ...... We are good brothers, although my mother owes you something, but you can't watch my mother be tortured like this! ”
Taijia looked at one person crying miserably, and one person begged earnestly, but he was at a loss for what to do, and asked, "Why don't you go to the Marquis to intercede, you want to find me?" ”
Poor Jian saw it more thoroughly than Taijia, and hurriedly said: "Taijia, this matter started because of you, and the Marquis is helping you come forward; As long as you open your mouth, the Marquis will definitely deal with it lightly! ”
"Taijia, you can do me a favor! Before my mother left, I was optimistic about my father......" Xingfu said as he sobbed.
These two people are good friends of Taijia, Taijia is helpless, although he scolded his poor mother and Xingfu's father a thousand times in his heart, he can only be cheeky to plead with Qiu Luo.
Walking behind Mo Qiu Luo, Tai Jia found that this man was extremely tall, and he was almost the same as the previous Pi Weng Mountain, but he was afraid that his strength was not small. Although Taijia didn't know what the Qiang chieftain looked like, Mo Qiuluo's physique was enough to reassure him as a tribesman.
"Marquis, the tribesmen have something to say!"
Treat Mao Qiuluo, Taijia naturally can't treat Duwen Mountain the same; He was respectful and unhurried, and he was very pleased with Qiu Luo.
Mo Qiu Luo nodded and said, "Taijia, you are the son of God appointed by the elders, so there is no need to thank me for such a trivial matter. But these fifty men will be tortured...... I'm afraid there will be a riot tonight! ”
As a superior person, he naturally understands that unless he has great power in his hands, why would ordinary princes not hold the people accountable? Because there are many people punished by the law, it will inevitably lead to the dissatisfaction of many civilians and even scholars, and one careless will lead to riots and even rebellions.
For the sake of law and order, these superiors also had to back down; This is also the reason why people in later generations are fearless in breaking small laws.
Taijia is still young, and he has experienced very few things, so he doesn't understand what Mao Hou said, so he said seriously: "Mao Hou, Tai Jia has two friends whose relatives are still in this queue, I don't know if Mao Hou can see the thin side of Taijia...... Let them go? ”
"Oh?"
He was secretly surprised, it turned out that the Taijia had come for this matter; However, this matter is not trivial, the punishment of the prisoners is either to catch them all, or not to clean up any of them, the most taboo is to pardon a few people, this is the easiest to make the prisoners riot!
To be honest, he didn't want to help the Thai League, after all, it couldn't interfere with his interests; It's just that Gong Changqiu's old guy has to help Taijia many times, and in order to maintain his rule, he has no choice but to come out.
The thought of the possible riot that followed gave him a headache; And Taijia gave him a big problem at this time, which ......
"Eh, there you have it!"
Qiu Luo thought about it, nodded at Taijia, and shouted to the team escorting the fifty people: "Come on, let go of Yang Jia, the mother of poor Jian, and Kui Shan, the father of Xingfu!" ”
As soon as these words came out, there was silence in the audience, and Qiu Luo actually pardoned these two people in front of everyone? And also specifically talked about their relationship with poor Jian and Xingfu, as if they were afraid that others would not know.
What is the relationship between poor Jian, Xingfu and Thai Jia? Almost no one in the entire tribe doesn't know, just because the two of them are good friends of the Thai family, so their relatives are outside the law?
Can't bear it, can't bear it!
Sure enough, someone in the queue scolded loudly: "How can there be such a reason? Why don't those two have to be executed, and we have to chop up our hands? ”
"That's it, Taijia and the Marquis are so ruthless, where do they put us!"
His purpose was accomplished, and he deliberately said this to everyone, in order to displease the fifty-odd prisoners; When these people are dissatisfied, they will riot, and at this time, as long as he asks the Taijia to speak, he can let everyone go as a matter of course, and the riot will no longer exist.
And then the matter will eventually be forgotten by everyone.
The complaints of the prisoners gradually spread to the onlookers, and many of them were indignant and forced the Marquis to deal with it fairly and not for personal gain, which made the poor apricot on the side instantly pale.
It's no wonder that no one else, do you have parents? Someone else doesn't have parents? Others don't want to save their parents?
The slave owners who ate melons and watched the play thought that the matter was over, but they didn't want to make any more waves, so they couldn't help but take a few steps back, lest these people riot and hurt themselves.
The scene gradually got out of control, and Taijia also looked at it with a blank face, he didn't understand why these people were dissatisfied, shouldn't the punishment be deserved? Isn't it right to want to save people?
At this time, he suddenly said: "You see, because you want to cover up, it has caused everyone's dissatisfaction...... Otherwise, forget it this time, everyone is a tribe, don't hurt the harmony for a little thing......"
"Everyone is released like Yangjia and Kuishan, how about it?"
Qiu Luo spoke softly, as if the elders were admonishing, where could Taijia see that he was careful? Mo Qiuluo really doesn't want to make things bigger, not to mention that in the long run, fifty people have chopped off their hands, what is the significance of the development of the tribe?
If it weren't for the fact that Taijia was the son of God, these fifty or so people would have been forgiven a long time ago!
Taijia gradually pondered, and he looked at him unhurriedly, waiting for his final decision; He very much hopes that the Thai armor can see that he is the marquis and give himself such a face.
It wasn't long before the Thai looked up firmly.
"Never!"
