Chapter 26: Who is the inner ghost?

Enmity is a very special symbol of the Huiyao characteristic legal system, and it is also a huge concession of the law to the 'strong', which allows the strong to have a certain right to retaliate.

It is normal for the perpetrator to be punished, even if it is a powerful awakener, there is no immunity from responsibility in the eyes of the law, and he will be killed when he should be killed, and he will be imprisoned when he should be imprisoned. But there is another situation: the relatives and friends of the perpetrator are the strong.

Different humanistic societies will naturally give birth to different social atmospheres and public opinion trends. Naturally, the relatives of the perpetrators of the earth rarely have excessive acts of revenge, because the strength of the individual is far less than that of the collective, and there is not much difference between the individuals.

But Radiance is different, the powerful awakened can crush ordinary people, and the survivability of the strong is also extremely outstanding. There have been unjust, false and wrongful cases in history, which led to the relatives of the prisoners in a fit of anger to attack all the people involved in the case to death, including the falsely accused nobles and the officials who adjudicated, and have been at large, and finally the court rehabilitated the wrongful case, so that the strong man stopped - as for whether it is really an unjust case, no one knows.

Although the strong man can never shake the frontal army, if the strong man plays guerrilla warfare in the city with a thousand miles of killing one person and ten steps without leaving behind, it will be difficult for the imperial court to solve it.

Moreover, this kind of immortal powerhouse is actually not the main problem, after all, there are not many strong people, and most of them will be absorbed by the imperial court. What's really troublesome is that there are many ordinary awakeners in the world who practice the art of war, they have a strong martial spirit, and most of them are hard bones who would rather bend than bend, and it is almost a matter of course for them to stick a knife in their ribs to avenge their relatives and friends.

That's right, my father/uncle/grandfather/friend did something wrong, but he died, I can't accept it, I'm going to kill you!

This kind of thinking can be recognized by the public, after all, the Huiyao Imperial Court cannot guarantee that it is fair and strict. For ordinary people, supporting these 'revenge heroes' is equivalent to reducing the probability of unjust, false and wrongful cases being created by the imperial court.

But it is not a way for the court officials to always be revenged like this, so the court compromised, or rather, it was a trick to push the boat downstream: the law of revenge.

According to the provisions of the Hatred Law, the relatives of the prisoner can apply for a duel against the 'enemy' in public, and the number of times is limited to one person. The 'enemy' can surrender, but must make compensation or apologize, life and death in the duel, after the duel, the hatred will be written off, and the violator will be wanted and hunted down by the imperial court afterwards.

As incredible, how could the imperial court encourage the relatives of the prisoners to take revenge on the officials?

However, legal interests are the basis for criminalization, and ethics are the basis for exoneration of crimes.

The introduction of the Hatred Law has greatly reduced the bad impact of civil revenge. Because only one person can take revenge on the 'enemy', and no one else is involved, it can be recognized by the people, and the act of revenge and killing the whole family like before will naturally not be sought after, but will be spurned by the public.

Moreover, the feud law stipulates that the feud must be in public, so the secret 'revenge' becomes an open 'vengeance', and no matter what happens, the official can quickly grasp the situation, so that the whole family will not know who they have offended.

More importantly, the law of enmity transfers the contradiction from the people and the court to the avenger and the enemy.

Whether the enemy was killed by the avengers or surrendered and compensated, this is none of the court's business, it's just that the enemy loses face, and it has nothing to do with the face of the court.

Facts have proved that the law of hatred has also completely reversed the social atmosphere. After all, the imperial court supports you in righteous revenge, and if you sneak up assassination, you will naturally not be praised by others.

The court also often preached some 'positive examples', such as the case of the avenger of that county who was rehabilitated after defeating the enemy, and although the avenger of the county was not the enemy, the enemy took the initiative to kneel down and admit his mistake, and the avenger also realized the mistake of his relatives, and the two reconciled......

All in all, revenge openly and honestly can not only be recognized by the people, but even the imperial court is encouraged!

"There's a feud there?"

"That guy is from the Statistics Division!"

"What, has anyone finally made a feud with someone from the Statistics Division?"

The lecture square in the morning is the most lively time, there are both merchants who set up stalls to sell, and children waiting for lectures, as soon as the news of the feud came out, it suddenly spread ten or ten hundreds, and the whole square was in an uproar.

The patrol guards in the square squeezed through the crowd and came in, and when they saw Le Yu, their faces suddenly changed. Although Qian Yuliu didn't wear a waistcoat, his steel-soled boots couldn't be faked, not to mention that they knew Leyu - the Statistics Department recently had a captain who liked to play cards, and they had heard of it while playing cards.

"What are you doing here? Spread out! The patrol guard scolded, "Are you trying to gather a crowd to make trouble!?" ”

Gathering a crowd to make trouble is a big crime, and going further is 'gathering a crowd to rebel', but Lin Xue didn't eat this, and her voice was slightly attached to spiritual power, which resounded clearly in the square: "We want to make a feud with a thousand plumes, and we also ask the patrol guard to be a witness." ”

"Please also ask the patrol guards to be witnesses!" The people nearby said in unison, and their voices were like thunder.

The patrol guard looked at Le Yu with a sad face, as if to say, 'We've done our best'.

Le Yu raised his head and looked at the Yao Bell Tower, and said, "There are still 17 minutes." ”

He paused: "There are 17 minutes left before the start time of the Statistics Division, and it takes me 3 minutes to walk. I don't want others to break the agreement, nor do I want to break the agreement with others, so in the next 14 minutes, let's end all this. ”

"Just let me see what Mr. Lin's proud apprentice has the ability to do." Le Yuyun said calmly: "Are you going to go together, or are you in a wheel battle?" ”

There is a very pitiful point of the vendetta law, that is, although it restricts the avenger to only one person for the vendetta, it does not stipulate the number of avengers - yes, group fights are also allowed in the feud law!

However, when the enemy sees that he can't fight, he can surrender decisively, and it's a big deal to apologize and lose money, but the avenger has lost the only chance for righteous revenge.

Therefore, the law of enmity is actually a gentleman's law, if both sides are gentlemen who pay attention to face, the law of feud will be meaningful, and everyone will hate after a fight.

But if both sides are shameless, the feud law is meaningless - if you dare to beat me in groups, I will dare to kneel down and beg for mercy.

Although I lost someone, you lost your father/grandfather/friend!

"I wish I could wash away my father's shame." Lin Xue took a deep breath and said, "But Qianyuliu, you are indeed talented and virtuous, I dare not say lightly that I can defeat you alone." Therefore, please allow me, Gao Jin, and Xia Linguo to take turns to fight and break off your enmity! ”

Speaking of this, Lin Xue showed a little shame on her face, not only the shame of proposing the wheel battle, but also the hatred of Qian Yuliu, but more importantly, she hated her own incompetence!

If she could defeat Thousand Feathers by herself, why did she ask for a three-person round? But in order to inherit her father's last wish, she can only do this shameless thing!

As for the price that Thousand Plumes will pay after the victory, Lin Xueti didn't mention it - if they win, they will have time to scold Thousand Plumes; If she doesn't win, then how hard she mentions it now, how miserable she will be slapped in the face when the time comes.

Leyu glanced at the three people in front of him.

Lin Xue, needless to mention, Lin Jinyao's only daughter, when she was in school, Qian Yuliu treated Lin Xue as her sister, and it turned out that all the sisters of Qian Yuliu would inevitably be the opposite of Qian Yuliu.

Gao Jin is also an old acquaintance, with a foul mouth and a crazy mouth, and he speaks the loudest, but he looks like a dog, and he looks like a hot-blooded and sunny young man, and he seems to be the president of the student union in the military academy, and Lin Jinyao often praises this disciple with Qian Yuliu.

Xia Linguo, Le Yu only noticed him at this time. On the night of Lin Jinyao's death, he was also in the courtyard and was taken away by the Statistics Department, but he has always been silent and doesn't like to talk, even if he wants to break off with Le Yu, he didn't speak, just looked at Le Yu silently, his appearance looked like a well-behaved face, but Le Yu faintly felt his threat.

Lin Xue, Gao Jin, Xia Linguo......

Sure enough, they came to me and broke off their enemies.

In other words, the traitor of the white night is among the three of them!
