Chapter 255: An Insoluble Alien Contradiction
"The war has stopped, the people of Gaosong County don't know how to live in peace, but they gather to fight in broad daylight, how big is your small county town, and the two ethnic groups are not in harmony and make such a big noise, do you dare to say that this is not your fault as a county commander?"
When Zhao Zhixue heard this, he knew that His Royal Highness Lord Feng must have encountered the case they had just dealt with, so he came over to ask for the guilt. His face was full of shame, and his ears were red:
"It's Wechen's fault, and Wechen is guilty."
Chenguang looked at him with a cold face, she was angry, if the two tribes kept disagreeing, the country would only become more and more chaotic. The agreements she signed with Long Xi and the other three countries will all be implemented from next spring, and if the situation in the country cannot be stabilized before next spring, it will only make other countries have the heart of a tiger and a wolf.
Winter will soon come to spring, but the tension in Fengming country due to different ethnic groups is even more serious than Chenguang imagined.
Gong Wende, the county magistrate of Gaosong County, admitted the charge without justifying it, for fear that he would be convicted like this, so he hurriedly opened his mouth and said:
"His Royal Highness Lord Feng, regarding the contradictions between the three tribes of Fengming, Nanyue, and Beiyue, Lord Zhao really tried his best. Since the imperial court issued a decree that all those involved in the conflict and fight of the three clans to death will be executed regardless of the severity of the crime, Lord Zhao has always been sentenced in accordance with the will, even if he was insulted by the people of Gaosong County and scolded by the elders of the clan, Lord Zhao has never wavered. In order to promote the will of intermarriage between the three clans promulgated by the imperial court, Lord Zhao even recruited a Feng Ming man as a son-in-law. However, in Gaosong County, the contradictions and conflicts between the three ethnic groups have not only not eased, but have become more and more intense. ”
Chenguang looked at him and said coldly:
"It is your duty as a courtier to do what the court decrees, do I want to praise you for this and give you some reward?"
Gong Wende trembled, hurriedly kowtowed, and said in a panic and embarrassment:
"Don't dare! Don't dare! ”
Morninglight looked at them with displeasure.
Zhao Zhixue and the others knelt on the ground, their heads hung low, and they didn't dare to breathe.
After a moment of silence, Chenguang spoke and asked:
"Is the death warrant useless?"
Zhao Zhixue and the others thought that she would be angry because of what had just happened, and they were nervous, but she suddenly spoke, which startled them, and after listening to her question, they were stunned again.
Zhao Zhixue frowned and replied:
"Your Highness, it is not useless, after the death warrant was issued, the number of criminal cases that occurred because of brawls in the past has indeed decreased, but now, due to the deterrence of heavy punishments, there are almost no homicides. However, in the end, there are still the largest number of South Vietnamese people in this land, and the South Vietnamese people have always felt that the death warrant is aimed at the South Vietnamese people, so the hatred of the South Vietnamese people for the other two ethnic groups has not been reduced, but has become stronger. Now, the contradictions between the three clans generally do not develop into murders, but the fights continue, and the yamen is also arrested. There are also South Vietnamese people who shield each other, and even if there are those who do the case, because the people cover each other and perjury each other, it also brings a lot of difficulties to solving the case. ”
Chenguang didn't say that he was "incompetent" this time, because she felt that what he said was that it would indeed happen in reality, and that the death warrant could restrain the murderous intent of the haters, but it could not eliminate the hatred in their hearts.
After a moment of silence, she spoke, and continued to ask:
"How many families in Gaosong County have interracial marriages?"
"When the holy decree was first issued, because of the bounty, there were a few families who married Feng Ming and North Vietnamese girls, but since these families got married, they have been in trouble, and these families who married foreign people are honest people, and their lives are very bad, and since then, even those who have a mind do not dare to intermarry with foreign people."
Chenguang frowned.
"Have you heard of the South Vietnamese Society?" After a pause, she asked.
Zhao Zhixue was stunned for a moment, and asked suspiciously: "South Vietnam will?" The minister has not heard of it. ”
Chenguang nodded.
It seems that the South Vietnamese Association has not yet developed into such a small county town.
She was a little relieved and a little worried.
At this moment, the sound of hula footsteps came, and the county officials who came back from patrol quickly walked in groups with long knives in their hands.
When the catchers passed through the yamen hall, they saw the county magistrates in the hall kneeling in a row on the ground, and sitting in the hall was actually a girl dressed in white like a fairy, they panicked and stared at them in surprise.
Gong Zhide hurriedly called all the people in and ordered them to kneel down to see the driver.
In the morning light, a middle-aged head catcher knelt beside a young man with red lips and white teeth, obviously not from South Vietnamese.
"He's your son-in-law?" Chenguang asked Zhao Zhixue.
Zhao Zhixue saw that she saw it, and hurriedly replied: "Back to Your Highness, this is Cheng Kuan, the minister's little son-in-law." ”
Cheng Kuan seemed to be very excited because he saw Chenguang, and when he saw his father-in-law mentioning him to Chenguang, he bowed down to Chenguang and stumbled:
"The grass people see His Royal Highness the Phoenix Lord! His Royal Highness the Phoenix Lord Chitose! ”
"Where are you from Feng Ming?" Chenguang asked.
"The grass people were originally grass control people, and they came to Gaosong County half a year ago and were recruited as their second son-in-law by the county commander." Cheng Kuan replied with a smile.
Zhicao is very close to the border pass, and he should be the first batch of people to move from the Fengying Kingdom.
"You moved from the grass control alone?" Chenguang asked.
"The grass people moved from the grass control with their parents and sisters, and the grass people's parents and sisters live outside the city and usually make a living from farming."
"How old is my sister? Can you get married? ”
Cheng Kuan's smile became a little embarrassed: "Caomin's sister is eighteen years old this year and has not yet married. ”
Chenguang looked at his smile and guessed that it was probably because the Feng Ming people here were not easy to find people. She stopped asking, paused, and asked:
"You're a catcher now?"
"Yes." Cheng Kuan replied with a smile.
"Can the body take it?"
Feng Ming's weak physique is recognized by all countries, and the strength of men is similar to that of girls who are slightly stronger in other countries, especially when they move from the desert to Middle-earth, and it also involves a problem of adaptation to the water and soil, which is very worrying.
When Cheng Kuan saw her asking about her body, he was sincerely afraid, bowed down, and hurriedly replied with a smile: "Back to Your Highness, the grass people can, and the grass people want to contribute to the stability of Gaosong County." ”
Chenguang didn't expect him to answer like this, slightly stunned, and raised his eyebrows.
Zhao Zhixue saw that she was silent when he stopped asking, raised his head boldly, and said with a smile:
"Your Royal Highness Lord Feng, it's almost time for dinner, if Your Highness is not in a hurry to leave, the minister will go to Furong Building to prepare a table of banquets for Your Highness, arrange a few rooms, Your Highness has a meal, take a good rest, in order to relieve the fatigue of the boat and car, Your Highness is good?"
Chenguang thought for a moment and refused, "No need. ”
After a pause, she asked, "Your house is in the backyard, right?" ”
Zhao Zhixue was stunned for a moment, nodded and replied, "Yes." ”
"I'll live in your house today, you don't have to break the bank, how you usually do today, I'll meet your wife and daughter first, and I'll go to your house early tomorrow morning to have a look." Chenguang said to Cheng Kuan.
Everyone was stunned, surprised and panicked, and felt that this was the supreme glory, so they hurriedly bowed down again.
