Section 254 Penalties
Whenever the people bought or sold goods, the courtiers ordered them to operate in accordance with the profit law established by the state, and those who violated the orders were punished with punishment. If the person in charge refuses to repay the debt and a lawsuit arises, the courtier will prove through a person who lives close to the client that he has indeed accepted the entrustment of the creditor, and then accept their lawsuit. Wherever a thief attacks and kills the township, the town, and the common people, it is not guilty of killing these thieves. Whoever takes revenge shall report in writing to the magistrate in advance, and he shall not be guilty of killing the enemy. If there was a great famine, pestilence, or military campaign in the country, the courtiers would order the vassal states, the fiefdoms, and the dukes to consider reducing the punishment and expenses.
