One word stirred up a thousand waves. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Princess Danyang, who was already about to leave, suddenly stopped.

When a common person stole something, Princess Danyang didn't care, and he didn't care if he was dead or alive in the future, but at this time, someone suddenly said such a sentence, and Princess Danyang couldn't help but care.

Princess Danyang is a smart person, so after suddenly hearing such a sentence at this time, she immediately noticed that things were a little weird, a thief is a thief, why should she have anything to do with Tang Zhou?

Thinking of this Lantian County county magistrate's surname Gao, Princess Danyang immediately understood what was going on.

And just when Princess Danyang understood what was going on, Tang Zhou also quickly reacted, no wonder he didn't educate early or late, but he just taught when he came to Luobei Village, it turned out that he wanted to embarrass himself.

Thinking like this, the corners of Tang Zhou's mouth already showed a sneer.

And at this time, Gao Wei was also suddenly a little surprised: "This Xia Fan is Tang Xiaohou's tenant farmer?" ”

The person who spoke just now nodded again and again: "It's not good, it's the tenant farmer of Tang Xiaohou's family." ”

Gao Wei glanced up at Tang Zhou slightly, and said, "It turned out to be a tenant farmer of Tang Xiaohou's family, but this person stole something, I don't know ...... Tang Xiaohou."

Gao Wei didn't finish speaking, because in his opinion, Tang Zhou should have followed after understanding the meaning of his words, but what Gao Wei didn't expect was that Tang Zhou didn't pay attention to him at all, but asked the other tenant farmers around him.

"Is this Xia Fan really our tenant farmer?"

The people next to him all showed a look of embarrassment, Tang Zhou saw this, he already understood, but he was a little puzzled, how did his tenant farmer go back to steal things?

Tang Zhou hated thieves, but before he taught Xia Fan a lesson, he felt that he should deal with Gao Wei's difficulties in the past.

But just as Tang Zhou was about to speak, Xia Fan, who had been keeping his head down, suddenly raised his head: "I'm not a tenant farmer of Tang Xiaohou's family. ”

After Xia Fan raised his head, Tang Zhou found that this person's face was very thin, and a little yellow, obviously a little malnourished, but his eyes had an indescribable perseverance, and this kind of look, Tang Zhou had only seen in those who were poor in their families, but they were strong enough to survive.

Xia Fan's eyes shocked Tang Zhou's heart, and from his eyes, Tang Zhou seemed to see the hardships of life and the difficulties of survival.

In addition, Tang Zhou also saw that this person had a very good quality, from the faces of the surrounding people, Tang Zhou already knew that this Xia Fan was the tenant farmer of his Tang family, but at this time he said that he was not, obviously he didn't want to affect himself.

Tang Zhou admires such a person.

So he showed a light smile: "Although you are not a tenant farmer of this marquis, but this marquis admires you very much. Speaking of this, Tang Zhou turned to Gao Wei and said, "Lord Gao, let him go." ”

Tang Zhou's reaction made Gao Wei a little uncomfortable, as if Tang Zhou was not embarrassed by himself at all, but he still regarded himself as a noble person, and he didn't take his county order in his eyes at all.

This made Gao Wei's self-esteem very frustrated, so he straightened his chest forward and said, "Tang Xiaohou, this person stole something, and the lower officials want to detain him to educate the people, how can he let him go?" ”

Seeing Gao Wei like this, Tang Zhou showed a slight smile, in his opinion, Gao Wei's actions are ridiculous, in fact, it shouldn't be difficult to protect a thief with an identity like him, right?

But this Gao Wei didn't know how to lift.

"Since Lord Gao said that he wants to educate the people, then the little marquis and the princess want to hear how you are going to educate the people, are you just escorting people to the village like this?"

Gao Wei looked at Tang Zhou and said: "Exactly, only in this way can the villagers know what courtesy, righteousness and shame are, and when they see the end of stealing, they will naturally not think about stealing." ”

Tang Zhou smiled: "To set an example, but so?" ”

"Exactly."

But just after Gao Wei said these two words, Tang Zhou suddenly shook his head: "No, your education is just a deterrent, in fact, it doesn't play a role, the real education should let the people know from their hearts what they should do as a person and what they shouldn't do. Did you do this by using coercion to make the people feel scared? ”

Gao Wei looked at Tang Zhou, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Since ancient times, the so-called prosperous era of never closing the door at night and leaving no trace is the result of the people's education, but this result has never been heard of because of the severe punishment of the thief, on the contrary, it is precisely because the life of the king, the people and even the thief can have a sense of feeling, that such a situation has finally been reached.

"If you really want to educate the people, you should let the people know what is diligence and what is courtesy, righteousness and shame, instead of setting an example and intimidating the people."

"So, if someone kills someone and sets fire, he can't catch it?"

"There are serious crimes, and if they can be called edification, they are not a big problem, and they should be given opportunities."

Speaking of this, Tang Zhou asked again: "Lord Gao, can you let him go now?" ”

Gao Wei couldn't argue with Tang Zhou, but if he didn't let go, it would seem that he was not doing well as an official, and he didn't even know how to educate the people, and in the end he could only set his eyes on Princess Danyang, Princess Danyang didn't expect Tang Zhou to say such a thing, and she felt that Tang Zhou was right, if she wanted to stay on the road and not close her door at night, it was not enough to only determine, but to let the people understand some principles of life from the root.

"Let's go!"

Princess Danyang only said a word superficially, and then got into the carriage with the support of Liu Ziyi, Princess Danyang's carriage drove away, Gao Wei waved his hand helplessly, and then left with his own servants.

As soon as Gao Wei left, Xia Fan, who had just been freed, suddenly ran towards the village like the wind, Tang Zhou was in shock, and a villager hurriedly explained: "Little Hou Ye doesn't know, this Xia Fan has a mother who is sick and bedridden, and we take turns to take care of him for the two days he was arrested." ”

Among the people, the folk customs are simple, and most of them are kind, Tang Zhou nodded and asked, "Then did this Xia Fan steal something before?" ”

"No, Xia Fan's mother is seriously ill, in order to see his current doctor, he spent all the family's money and sold the grain, he really couldn't open the pot a few days ago, and he didn't want his mother to be hungry, so he went to steal......"

Speaking of this, the common man couldn't help but sigh and said, "Alas, in the final analysis, he is also a dutiful person." ”

A few people were talking here, and there was a sudden burst of sad cries from the direction where Xia Fan ran just now, Tang Zhou's brows condensed slightly, and he didn't know about Tie: "Let's go, let's go and have a look." ”
