Chapter 200, lawsuits everywhere
Pan Long didn't agree with Shang Man's idea, but he could at least understand the "face" argument.
If you live for a hundred years, you will inevitably die. No matter how strong and domineering he was in life, he can only be judged by others after death.
For the vast majority of people, what happened before them and their name after death is their life.
In this life, strictly speaking, there is nothing that can not be satisfied. He was born as an orphan, and he also fell into dust and mud, but after all, he relied on his own efforts and courage to seize the opportunity, so as to work hard and finally achieve something.
Overall, his life was inspirational enough to be a model for future generations.
Although his achievements are a bit small, they are already quite good in terms of his origins. Most people in this world will not be able to achieve what he is doing now in their lifetime.
At this point, he has to care about his reputation after death.
Revenge itself is not a bad thing, even in the communist society of Pan Long's previous life, there was revenge and revenge, and it was affirmed by the whole society. Many people with strong folk customs will even worship such warriors.
For example, there was a time when a child's child went camping in the mountains and was eaten by a wild wolf. The man was extremely indignant, went into the mountain alone, and spent more than half a year finally finding the two wolves that had killed his children and killing them.
The Russian aunt also made a video to introduce how she determined that these two wolves were her enemies - as for the part of the revenge in the front and the revenge in the back, she brushed it off.
At that time, the federal government did not comment on this matter, but the people generally believed that the aunt did a good job and was admirable.
Even animal protection organizations say they understand and accept her approach.
The wolf kills her child, and she kills the wolf, which is very in line with the laws of nature, fair and reasonable.
The same is true of Shang Man's revenge, which can withstand moral torture, and he has a clear conscience in any era.
But the enemy's daughter chose to commit suicide in front of the gate of the yamen in order to denounce him, which made it difficult for him to do so.
Logically, he shouldn't have bowed his head - after all, he didn't kill the wrong person.
But everyone in the world sympathizes with the weak, so the daughter has no way to sue but to die? This incident is enough to move those who are bullied and persecuted.
When the time comes? People won't care if Shang Man's revenge is righteous or not, they will only think that Shang Man is a court official? Thinking of the misery of the hotel owner's daughter who called the sky should not be and the earth was not spiritual? And then think of yourself.
Although this matter is not big, it may not be passed on to future generations. But as long as it is passed on? Shang Man's notoriety is inevitable.
The reason why Shang Man turned himself in when he learned of this incident was precisely to resolve this problem.
That daughter committed suicide for revenge? Is it filial piety, he learned that the other party committed suicide and was willing to surrender? It is to affirm the "filial piety" of the other party and be willing to fulfill the other party.
In this way, if this story is spread in future generations, it will be a grievance between a filial daughter and a righteous man? Not only is he not offensive? On the contrary, you can stand on the moral high ground.
Though...... The price was his own life.
These ideas are not difficult to grasp, they are nothing more than the routines of legendary scripts and folk tales that are common in Great Xia.
It's just that Pan Long couldn't have imagined that Shang Man would care so much about the reputation of future generations, and even be willing to sacrifice his life just because of a possibility.
...... Replace it with himself? Absolutely not!
But he really didn't know how to persuade Shang Man.
Of course, he can promise the other party a reputation for future generations - with his ability, immortality is not difficult. As long as he promises to keep an eye on Xiangping? When there is a folk tale in the local area, he comes forward to guide public opinion? I think it will be possible to avoid rumors that will be unfavorable to Shang Man in later generations.
Even...... Reverse black and white, and make the daughter of the hotel owner who shouts that she has no choice but to commit suicide become the villain in the story? None of this is a problem.
But this kind of thing? He was reluctant to do it.
Does he have a relationship with Shang Man? But this friendship is not so big that it can make him ignore right and wrong and reverse black and white.
At most, he can only ensure that the rumors of later generations will not be distorted, and pass down the whole story as it is.
Then among those who know this story in later generations, there will definitely be many who are disgusted with Shang Man.
After all...... Revenge is something that not everyone wants. But the fact that there is nowhere to complain is much more common.
Pan Long can't help in this regard, so he really can't help Shang Man.
Of course, he can also suppress all the stories about Shang Man, so that future generations will not know the existence of Shang Man unless they consult the history books—and naturally they will not know these stories about Shang Man.
But that result, Shang Man obviously won't like it.
(All in all, this is "moral killing"!)
Pan Long sighed and left the prison, thinking about how to solve the matter.
The first thing he thought of was to create some accidents and turn Shang Man's capital crime into a living crime.
As long as it becomes a living sin, there is a way to alleviate it in the future. Even if Shang Man wants to be imprisoned for one or two decades, or exiled to a wild and difficult place, there will always be a day to get out.
If he comes back in the future, this experience will become another highlight on his life resume.
The fault of a gentleman is also like the eclipse of the sun and the moon. Yes, everyone has seen it. And even more, everyone looks up to it.
Between now and the winter solstice, there is still some time. If you want to create the right accident, you still have time to prepare.
However, if he could, Pan Long still wanted to find an easier way.
It is not easy to create an accident that can reduce the sentence of a death row inmate.
If you do it too deliberately, it will be embarrassing if it is exposed by smart people in later generations.
So he thought about it for a while and decided to talk to Cangyuan.
Among the people he knows, Cang Yuan is undoubtedly the smartest and most means, maybe Cang Yuan will have a good idea.
What's more, Shang Man's matter can also be regarded as part of the change, and it is natural for Cangyuan to contribute to this.
As for Cang Yuan, who has been added to the workload, will he smile bitterly three times and say "I thank you...... Then, hehehehehe.
Pan Long thought about it as he walked, and then returned to the Yamen of the Wind Patrol Division, and before he decided when to go to Cangyuan, Tang Jingzhe had already found him in a hurry.
"Something is wrong!" The bald man's forehead was covered with sweat, "Among the patrol envoys from all over the country, a large number of people have been sued, and many of them even have conclusive evidence, and they are currently fighting lawsuits!"
Pan Long was taken aback and asked, "What's the matter?"
Tang Jingzhe sighed and told the news in detail.
In just the past few days, many cases against a certain wind patrol envoy have suddenly appeared in various parts of Great Xia.
There are roughly three sources of patrol envoys, the first is the talents cultivated by the imperial court itself - Tang Jingzhe is a typical example; secondly, those who are close to the imperial court are famous and upright - Liu Yunqing is in this category; and finally the righteous chivalrous men and lakes who are incorporated by the imperial court - well, Pan Long himself belongs to this kind.
Among these three kinds of people, there is basically no "black material" like Tang Jingzhe that can be dug out. They have a clean net worth and have been law-abiding since childhood. Even if you do something that is not very legal after becoming a patrol envoy, there is an "imperial court order" that can be used as an explanation.
It is basically impossible to find them in trouble from the legal level.
But their category is also the least numerous. The imperial court is naturally powerful, but the power of the imperial court is dispersed to the part of cultivating the patrol envoys, and there are not many.
...... Even, before the change of the law, the patrol made this department be suppressed by various departments of the imperial court very tacitly.
The emperor did not like them, the princes and nobles did not like them, and the officials did not like them equally.
Even if there are suitable talents, the imperial court often prefers to send these righteous people to the Shenji Camp for cultivation rather than send them to the Wind Patrol Division.
For a long time, the main composition of the patrol division has been two categories: two or three.
And these two types of people have a common characteristic, that is, they are strong in martial arts, and they are accustomed to "violating the ban with force".
Is it a bad thing to break the ban by force?
Pan Long didn't think so.
But for the laws of the imperial court, most of the forbidden acts are against the law, and they are almost instantaneous.
Therefore, many patrol envoys actually have a lot of "black material" that cannot withstand legal investigation.
Even Pan Long himself is actually the same.
Not to mention anything else, in order to take revenge, he killed people and set fire to them all night, and killed all the people who knew martial arts in the huge Junshan He family, which was a "black material" that could not withstand interrogation.
And over the years, among the people he has killed, there must be many people who should not die according to the laws of the imperial court.
Even he himself can't stand up to scrutiny, how can others be better?
In this case, I'm afraid that there is already less black material!
Everyone knows these things, and they have been safe in the past. Although there are occasional cases of accidents like Shang Man, after all, they are only a very few.
But now, in just a few days, a large number of patrol envoys' "black material" has been shaken out, and the bitter masters have gone to various places to report to the officials, and the words are conclusive, and the human and material evidence is complete.
This makes the patrol division very passive.
One or two, it's okay. With so many wind patrol envoys having an accident together, even if the Wind Patrol Division has great connections and face, there is no way to calm them all down.
Not to mention that inside the patrol envoys, there are really a lot of face-loving people like Shang Man. Once encountering a situation where the bitter master shouts injustice and the evidence is conclusive, there is no shortage of people who pull out a knife and wipe their necks on the spot to "give you an explanation".
Just Tang Jingzhe knew, more than a dozen veteran wind patrol envoys had died.
...... That's almost more than the number of people that the Wind Patrol Division has lost in a year!
Because the patrol envoy only investigates the case and does not handle the case, in fact, there are not so many dangers, and there are not so many cases of missing hands. In just a few days, more than a dozen veterans died, and in the entire history of the Wind Patrol Division, I am afraid that similar things only happened during the period when the Great Purge was launched after Emperor Yihai usurped the throne.
If there were only a dozen or so people in the loss, for the Wind Patrol Division, it would still be able to bear it.
Can ...... now The patrol envoys involved in the lawsuit, just as of the internal report half an hour ago, there were 1,276 people!
1,276 Wind Patrol Envoys have suffered a lawsuit, and now they can't move!
In the entire Great Xia Wind Patrol Division, there were only less than 2,000 Wind Patrol Envoys in total. Excluding civilian personnel, this is basically the entire field team of the Wind Patrol Division!
Even Liu Yunqing was sued - she once killed people with a sword because of the bully's robbery of the people's daughter, but the bully's descendants did not report to the official, but at that time, several relatives of the family members who were killed by her went to the local yamen and sued her.
Pan Long listened to Tang Jingzhe's report, and only felt that his head was as big as a fight.
"What's going on!" he couldn't help but shout.
Tang Jingzhe frowned and asked, "Pan Guanfeng, what should we do now?"
Pan Long took a deep breath to calm himself down, and then asked, "What about Liu Yunqing?"
"Right Lieutenant Liu went out on errands, and he hasn't come back yet. ”
"Her case...... What do you think?"
"At that time, she had not joined the Yamen of the Wind Patrol Division, and she could not use 'obstruction of case handling' to excuse her, which was not very easy to do. Tang Jingzhe is also a magistrate, and he is quite familiar with the work of litigation and adjudication, so he pondered for a while, shook his head and said, "It's easy to excuse her for killing that bully, and you can refer to the decree of 'righteousness and courage' to exonerate herself." Killing a bodyguard in a nursing home can also be justified by 'legitimate defense'. ”
As he spoke, he sighed: "However, there are a few family members who don't know martial arts or even have weapons...... There's really no way to pose any threat to her, there's no way to excuse it!"
Pan Long frowned and asked, "Is there really no way?"
"Unless you turn black and white upside down and fabricate evidence, there's really no way. Tang Jingzhe also frowned, "Why did she even kill her family in the first place......
"It's easy to kill. Liu Yunqing's voice came from outside the door, and people followed, "I have also received the arraignment of the case." At that time, the bully was about to run, and a few family members blocked my pursuit—with my martial arts, I could jump over them with a single jump, and I didn't need to kill anyone. It's just that at that time, I had already killed six or seven bodyguards in the nursing home, and the killing machine was in full swing, so I killed them all with a sword. ”
Pan Long looked at her: "Then what are you going to do now?"
"Fighting and killing, the evidence is conclusive, and you can't deny it if you want to—and I don't want to deny it. Liu Yun said lightly, "I will probably consider escaping." For serious crimes other than the ten heinous, the wanted period is only 30 years. Thirty years later, the wanted notice will be revoked, and even if anyone reports it again, the court will not accept it. I'll just hide for thirty years. ”
She naturally has the confidence to say this, as a famous disciple, after she has been cultivating incognito for thirty years, she may even be in the realm of real people.
When the time comes, who will trouble a real person for an expired wanted warrant?
Pan Long frowned: "Obviously, someone is looking for trouble with our Wind Patrol Division! If you flee now, you will follow his wishes!"
"I'm just changing my name and surname, and if there's something I need to help with, I can still help. ”
"But if the name is not right, it is not good...... 'Liu Yunqing, the right lieutenant of Youzhou Guanfeng', after all, there is no way to appear in public again. ”
Liu Yunqing sighed, and a look of distress and helplessness finally appeared on his handsome and cold face.
"Now that this is the case, what else can I do?"
Pan Long frowned, groaned for a while, and said, "You wait a minute, I'll go back to Shendu and go to Cangyuan to ask." ”
"This matter must be very important, and there may be other information on Cangyuan's side. Wait for me to come back!"
