Chapter 110: Conflict of Ideas
"The purpose of punishment?"
Arthur bowed his head and pondered for a moment, then replied, "Naturally, it is to make the wrongdoer pay the price he deserves, to make up for his own mistakes. If you want to stabilize the territory, the best way is to kill or expel all the bad guys from the territory through the law!"
"As long as all the bad guys are killed and expelled, the territory will naturally be settled! Those who originally wanted to make mistakes will also dispel their thoughts under the deterrence of heavy punishments. ”
Hearing this, Alan shook his head slightly, unexpectedly Arthur, who usually looked suave and elegant, was so murderous in terms of law!
"Making the offender pay for his mistakes is indeed one of the purposes of punishment, but it is not the whole story. What's more important is how to make a bad person realize his mistakes and become a good person. ”
Alan Dao.
"Can a bad guy become a good guy?" asked Arthur rhetorically.
Alan nodded: "Of course you can, no one in this world is born a bad person, and there must be a reason why he became bad." ”
"For example, if a person steals, he may be lazy, but it is more likely that he is forced by life. ”
"For example, a person whose parents are seriously ill and has spent all their family savings for treatment and is forced to steal property, don't you feel that your punishment is a bit too heavy?"
Arthur was speechless, pondered for a long time and defended: "This is a special situation, and in this case, we can reduce or even exempt his punishment." ”
Although Arthur argued, his momentum was much weaker.
Alan smiled lightly and shook his head again: "The law does not tolerate mercy, anyone who makes a mistake must be punished, this is what I said before the law, everyone is equal." Of course, if the victim chooses to forgive the person who hurt him/her, the sentence can be reduced as appropriate, but in no way can the punishment be waived. ”
Therefore, the punishment must be prudent and cannot be generalized. Heavy when it's heavy, light when it's light. ”
"For those who have really sinned heavily, they cannot be forgiven. For example, if a person maliciously kills another person, then he must pay for his life. ”
"If you only make a small mistake and don't cause too serious consequences, then you should supplement it with punishment and education, so that they can realize their mistakes as much as possible, so that they can mend their ways. ”
"The severity of the punishment depends on the consequences of the offender and the intent of the crime. ”
"For example, if a person steals money that someone else is waiting to save his life and thus causes death, he must be severely punished, even though he may not know that it will have such serious consequences. ”
"Another example is that a person maliciously kills someone, even if he doesn't kill the other party, or even hurt the other party, but as long as he has this motive and has taken action, then he must be severely punished!"
After hearing this, Arthur bowed his head and pondered for a long time.
In terms of punishment, Allen's philosophy is in obvious conflict with his philosophy, and for a while, he cannot accept Allen's philosophy. At the same time, he also knew that without convincing Allen, it would be difficult for his ideas to be implemented in the territory.
This is an unsolvable proposition, Alan and Arthur, one of them must bow to each other's ideas.
"My lord, I want to go back and think about it. ”
Arthur said in a low voice, obviously, Allen's words had caused him to think a little, but they could not fully convince him.
Alan nodded helplessly: "Go ahead, just think about it before the law court is built." Also, pick some of the candidates to serve as your deputies and the presidents of the branches of the law courts in the various towns and towns, and the directors of the trial divisions, the investigation divisions, and the legislative divisions. ”
"It's up to you to decide all these candidates, just report the list to me after it's decided. ”
"Yes, my lord!"
After Arthur left the Lord's Mansion, Alan smiled helplessly.
failed to convince Arthur to reduce his sentence, and he expected that if Arthur was so easily convinced, then he would not be Arthur.
Alan can actually force Arthur to set the punishment according to his own philosophy as a lord, but Alan does not intend to do that, he does not want to be a dictator.
Alan walked to the courtyard of the Lord's Mansion, summoned the Gale Eagle, and rode it towards the town of Kribby.
As early as three days ago, Allen had already asked the heroes and soldiers of the territory to begin to assemble in Kribi Town, except for some soldiers left behind on the western border to guard the City Lord's Mansion, most of the soldiers in the territory were gathered in Kribi Town.
The Gale Eagle was fast, and in less than two hours, it carried Alan to the town of Kribby.
Alan had the Gale Eagle land in the barracks outside Kribby.
This barracks was temporarily set up by the soldiers in the past two days, after all, there are too many soldiers gathered in Kribi Town now, and it would be too disturbing for the people to be stationed in Kribi Town.
As soon as Alan landed, Galen, Svein, Yasuo and others greeted him.
Now the six heroes that Eren summoned are all in this barracks, and Eren also saw De Lael, the female warrior of the road, beside Yasuo.
The high-end combat power of Huaxia Ling gathered together.
"How's the preparation?"
After entering the barracks account, Alan asked.
"All the soldiers are assembled and ready for battle!" replied Galen.
Alan nodded: "How many troops are gathered here?"
"Lord Hui, a total of 50 Vanguard Knights, 100 Centaur Marksmen, 500 Noxian Giant Axes, 300 Frost Bows and Arrows, and 100 Holy Light Priests, a total of 1,050 people!"
The Vanguard Knights originally had only 30 people, but Alan later bought another 20 people, and now there are 50 in total.
Alan nodded again: "The date for the attack on the Blue Shirts has been set, and it will be on the twenty-third of this month. At that time, the city lord's mansion and the major territories will send troops together to catch the blue shirts by surprise and strive to completely wipe out the blue shirts. ”
"My lord," Svein said, "the coalition forces want to take the Blue Shirts by surprise, and I'm afraid they won't have a chance." ”
"Why?" Alan asked.
"According to the information detected by Noxus agents, the troops of the Blue Shirts have been moving frequently in the past two days, and according to my guess, the Blue Shirts are likely to have received the news that the City Lord's Mansion is going to unite the major territories to crusade against them, and are preparing in advance. ”
Alan frowned slightly: "The Blue Shirts got the news so quickly?"
He only got the notice from the City Lord's Mansion today to launch a general attack on the 23rd, but he didn't expect that the Blue Shirt Army had already received the news two or three days in advance.
"It's not surprising that there must be spies from the Blue Shirts in the City Lord's Mansion, even in the major territories," replied Svein, "These spies were probably sent by the Blue Shirts years ago. ”
"So, the Blue Shirts have already taken precautions, and it's impossible to catch them off guard?" Alan said disappointedly.
There is a huge difference between the results of a head-on duel and a surprise attack, and the price to be paid is even more different.
Svein smiled: "The coalition forces want to be caught off guard by the blue shirts, and there is indeed no chance, but our Huaxia Collar may not be able to." ”
