Not long ago, Cheng Yuan was concentrating on two things, listening to the conversation between the monk and Hu Luan, while talking to the fat man behind him:

"Dare to ask my brother, when I went down the mountain that day, how many people who saw me were still in this yamen?"

"Oh, I can't afford to call me brother! Not only our village that day, but also a lot of villagers watching the excitement at the foot of the mountain, the place where the cattle slaughter occurred is not far from Dong'er Mountain, and now the people who have witnessed your dignity in front of this hall are probably not a hundred but dozens of people. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Why did you follow the monk to attack the yamen?"

"The people in the monastery said that there were people in the government who colluded with bad businessmen to rob our cattle. Originally, although everyone was angry, only a few were willing to come with them to protest, but last night's heavy snowfall made everyone almost hopeless to deal with the collection of the government's summer harvest, so many people had the idea of dying and the net was broken, and now it seems that most of them are hungry and cold and have to make this decision. Everyone originally thought that this was a gathering of people to ask the state government for help, asking the court to forgive our summer grain. Who knew that the owners of the lost cattle were actually the fields controlled by the temple, and now I feel that it is more reasonable to say that it is more reasonable. ”

Chengyuan nodded, but it was still a little uncertain if he showed up immediately, after all, this kind of thing still requires determination and courage, so he decided to continue to wait and see what happened for the time being.

At this time, he happened to hear Cao Zheng's shout, and Chengyuan didn't want to shout:

"Chengyuan...... Cheng Kui is far away here!

After shouting a sentence, Chengyuan secretly scolded himself for being a little impulsive. When you think about it, it's a difficult question to see which side you're on.

If you agree that the criminals are sentenced to death, then of course it is ugly for Hu Luan, but if you stand on the side of Hu Luan, it is obviously offending Cao Zheng. He thought about it: Although the initial conviction of capital crime in the county may not necessarily be Cao Zheng's idea, Cao, as a county lieutenant, is equivalent to the "Neixiang County Public Security Bureau", and overturning the case of Neixiang County may involve him.

Cheng Yuan thought again: "Cao Zheng shouted this inexplicable roar, I'm afraid there is only one fundamental purpose: to muddy the water, and then from the "chaos in the world" to the "rule in the world", no matter what, as long as I take quelling the chaos as the ultimate goal, it is always right." ”

The eyes of all the people were already focused on themselves, and the officials in front of them, who were holding their knives, took the opportunity to take a few steps forward, keeping the crowd a little further away from the lobby.

Many people's eyes are fashionable and unclear at first, but they immediately turn to horror, and finally they are a kind of adoring look. It seems that the fat man is right, there are indeed many people in the crowd who participated in the onlookers at the foot of Dong'er Mountain and have seen themselves. He gritted his teeth and decided to let it go:

"Great monk, I have a few words I want to say to you!"

The monk looked at him in amazement, at first he didn't understand why this kid had attracted everyone's attention so much, but it didn't take long for him to sneer, as if everything was under control again.

"Great monk, you said that the villagers who committed the crime did not know the usefulness of the cowhide and deserved to die, is this the original intention to condemn? Or is it the original situation? ”

"Nature should be forgiven." The monk's reply did not hesitate.

"Otherwise, if it is convicted in the original situation, then it is necessary to consider the embarrassment of the hungry people, consider the ins and outs of the situation, the cowhide has already been delivered, that is to say, the fact that the temple has become ironclad, it is reasonable to judge, and the statement of assassinating Shi Gong is completely appropriate."

"However, doesn't this statement fall into the principle of tyranny? Little donor, do you make sense of what I said? ”

Cheng Yuan sneered in his heart, it turned out that the monk attributed the logic of Hu Luan's judgment to the Qin Dynasty Legalist's theory of "objective guilt" (that is, to say that it is mainly consequential). In fact, it is very similar to the Germanic law in the West, and the fallacy of this monk is to compare Hu Luan to the tyrannical Qin.

"Plausible!" Cheng Yuan had studied Tang history diligently, and although a considerable part of it was "returned to the teacher" after graduation, he knew that this monk's statement was not worth refuting at all, "Great monk, I don't know why you, a monk, pondered these criminal laws and regulations all day long, but unfortunately I studied for a long time but didn't understand the reason!" The righteousness of Confucianism was originally opposed to the unreasonable Qin law, and it was easy to punish people for serious crimes with rigid laws, but the cautious punishment of Shi Gong was in line with the essence of chastity, isn't this the right way? ”

Cheng Yuan saw that the monk's eyes were rolling around, and he thought: "My nickname in the bureau is "Mouth Cannon Yuan", the Outstanding Newcomer Award of the Friendship Debate Competition of the Southeast Regional Organs, you recite those Amitabha Buddhas all day long, and you still want to play this with me?" He sneered, and did not allow him to quibble any further:

"You only judge for motives, this is by no means the original situation, but the Western Han Dynasty cool officials were convicted of the original heart, our country inherited the Tang law, with the law of Zhenguan as the key, and the original situation is guilty of this reason! Monk, go back and read your Buddhist scriptures obediently, and don't talk nonsense to confuse the crowd! ”

The onlookers couldn't understand what they were saying crookedly, but they saw the fat man behind Chengyuan shouting: "Kui Xinggong is right!" ”

Many villagers who had seen Chengyuan at the beginning whispered:

"That's Zheng San!"

"Zheng San of Xiagou Village! This man is a chivalrous man! ”

"Zheng Sansu is happy to fight, he is a good person."

"Hmm...... Kuixing Gong has Zheng San's guard, and what he says must be reasonable! ”

The monk knew that the villagers themselves knew nothing about what was going on, and except for some of their friends, they were actually brought by their own monastery. Afraid that these guys who fell with the wind would be pulled to the opposite side by the person in front of him again, he hurriedly coughed to stabilize the scene:

"These cattle slaughterers are not only forbidden, but also stealing, adding crime to crime, the so-called crime is more serious than the serious, and it cannot be forgiven! If the assassination of Shi Gong is punished as a misdemeanor, it is by no means a fair punishment. ”

"Hmph...... The severity of the crime is more serious, that is, two similar crimes, the lighter one has a provision for conviction, and the heavier one is not criminalized by law, of course, it must be convicted. Cattle killing is forbidden and theft, the two are not related, and there is no similarity, how to compare? Moreover, it also depends on whether the prohibition is established, and if you secretly change the semantics, you are clearly muddy. ”

"Amitabha...... It is true that sin is added to sin, and the donor should not chew on the words. said so many articles and laws, but everyone only recognized justice and heavenly principles. ”

Chengyuan thought to himself: "In the face of these farmers, if it is too complicated, I am afraid it will be enough." He was just thinking about how to speak, but he was hesitating whether he was too snarky.

Zheng San saw that he wanted to speak and stopped, so he whispered in his ear: "Don't be afraid of him, just say yours." This sentence sounded full of confidence, and I couldn't help but feel at ease.

"Who's going to chew words with you? Listen, I tell you a story: there was a monk who handed incense to his wife and daughter who came to worship in the temple, and he didn't want to accidentally touch someone's hand. ”

As soon as the onlookers heard this kind of topic, they all raised their interest and listened attentively.

"The woman dropped the silver coins as she was leaving, and was deceived by the monk. Afterwards, people came to seek justice. According to the master's reasoning just now, how do you guess the temple should be broken? ”

A villager shouted playfully, "How to judge? ”

"According to the master's statement, the monk touches people's hands first, and the crime of ignoring people's money is added to the crime, which is the so-called crime of lightness and seriousness, and should be punished as the crime of indecent assault.

Hearing this, there was a burst of laughter in front of the lobby. Even Hu Luan couldn't help laughing, although on the surface he still frowned and shook his head slightly.

The monk said angrily: "What is the reason for the donor to say such vulgar words to play tricks on the old monk? ”

Cheng Yuan retracted his playful expression and said: "The crime of violating the prohibition is not established, and the crime of theft has been dealt with by Hu Tingshi impartially." You, the monk, just compared the Assassin Shigong to the tyrannical Qin, which is ridiculous! As a person in Buddhism, he actually instigated the government to kill in vain, even if he is a cool official of the tyrannical Qin, he will be embarrassed to see the king! ”

Chengyuan's words were all thorns, and the monk's face was flushed, and there was a faint murderous aura: "Everyone, this kid must be a subordinate of a cattle thief and profiteer, don't let him talk nonsense here!" I saw him make a look, and the dead friends of the temples next to him were about to rush over to stop Chengyuan from continuing to "talk about it".

The fat man Zheng San roared: "Who dares?" These two words sounded like thunder, and the people next to them were frightened and flashed around desperately, and a large gap had been given up in an instant.

Several vicious people crowded over, and the leader actually held a firewood knife covered with red rust in his hand. Cheng Yuan couldn't avoid it, and he was about to make a mistake behind Zheng San, but suddenly thought: "I am "Kui Xing", this Kui Xing almost "ate Tang Seng meat", if you do embarrassing behavior, I am afraid that it will be inappropriate." He was in a daze, but he felt a strong wind next to his face, and Zheng San next to him punched out an old punch, and the person who squeezed up first was hit in the chest by this punch, and fell to the ground softly.

Zheng San's punch was fast and heavy, and the other party fell to the ground without humming after taking this blow, and it seemed that one Buddha was almost born, and the second Buddha ascended to heaven.

Zheng San shook his arm: "Kui Xinggong is in danger and is not afraid, what a strange person!" ”

Cheng Yuan smiled bitterly and replied quietly: "Brother Zheng praised it falsely, I was actually scared stupid." ”

Zheng San smiled slightly when he heard this, and then took off his shirt, Chengyuan was surprised and delighted: This person is dressed in black and thick tendons, like steel, where is the fat man? It seems that at the critical moment, it is still the most real chapter of fist and foot kung fu!

Three more people grabbed it, and Zheng San sneered: "Good guy! They all aim at me and harm me, and what else do you say about farming, which is obviously practiced? ”

Several people were stuck in the position, and they were surrounded, and Cheng Yuan knew that Zheng San's fists and eyes were difficult to care about his whole body, and this time it was dangerous.

said that it was too late, Zheng San sold a little flaw, and the person on the right really rushed over. Zheng San bent down and hit the man's knee with his elbow, the man was in pain, and the balance of his body that couldn't control the rushing momentum was already pounced on his back. Zheng San grabbed his trouser leg with one hand, and grabbed his neck with the other, and actually lifted the person up.

The man was suffocated by his breath, and he fainted in an instant. Zheng San grabbed his feet with both hands and shouted, treating it as a weapon and hitting the other two, a man of more than 100 catties was like a bundle of straw in his hands.

only heard a few screams, and the three men were all knocked down by Zheng San in a few clicks.

"Zheng San is good!"

"This leg was swept hard just now!"

At this time, the monk saw that there were more and more people around him echoing "Kuixing", and knew that the changes in things were completely out of control.

Cao Zheng is secretly proud, using such a killer trick in a crisis, and he doesn't want it to be a miracle. However, this kid went against Liu Yanseng's will and chose to side with Hu Luan, which may have caused countless troubles in the aftermath of the matter. However, after all, things have taken a turn for the better, Cao Zheng knows that in order to end the chaos, he must make a decision immediately, and the opportunity cannot be lost, and he can only get off the donkey now, not to mention that if the government repeatedly connives, the power of the temple will not be a long-term solution after all. So he hurriedly nodded desperately to Zheng Mao, and gestured again and again. Zheng Mao knew that Cao was Liu Yanseng's first celebrity, so he had to sigh and sign his own signature.

It's a foregone conclusion.

Now that the state government and the Jiedu envoys have recognized Hu Luan's verdict, they can't really tie up the officials of the Assassin Shi and the Mabu Academy, and the monk has to make a gesture, and the dead friends of the temple who are holding hoes in front of him have withdrawn.

The monk waved his hand to the four people who fell to the ground, and a few people around him hurriedly grabbed it to help them up, accompanied by a burst of crying fathers and mothers, and those dead friends were about to slowly exit the Yimen with the crowd. When the monk passed by Cao Zheng's side, he whispered in his ear: "Deng Zhou arbitrarily decides the case, and the people in the court will have their own judgment, you don't have to regret it!" ”

"The master said seriously, the loss of temple property in Shuangxia Temple will be compensated at that time. However, the master should not forget who Liu Shuai is, and he must remember that our well water does not interfere with river water, as long as it goes down from Funiu Mountain to the flat land, this is Liu Shuai's territory. ”

Cao Zheng was drinking to order the troops to flash out of a passage, at this time he replied with a smile, just now the monk's gentle face was originally distorted by anger, but at this time it suddenly changed back to that pretentious look, he put his mouth to Cao Zheng's ear and whispered: "Is this kid you are talking about really what Kui Xingdou is?" ”

Cao Zheng sneered: "What Kui Xingdou? Did anyone say that? Who heard? ”

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a sharp pain, and it was the monk who bit his earlobe.

Cao Zheng was startled, and was about to raise his hand to push him away, but the monk sighed softly at him again: "Cao Gong, you're just afraid of being wrong, what kind of Kuixing is there in this kid?" I'm afraid it's the scourge of your Dengzhou Tianzi No. 1, do you hear it? Disaster star, great, disaster, star! ”

Cao Zheng hurriedly touched his right ear, but there was no blood on his hand. He was slightly stunned, and the monk was already laughing and walking away.
