"Ahh

A half-grown teenager, holding the spear in his hand, picked up the flat shoulder of an old man opposite, and then kicked him in the chest.

The old man immediately flew upside down, and the young man followed suit, slamming his fist the size of a sandbag into the old man's face.

The old man's blood-mixed teeth jumped out twice, his eyes flashed with stars, and he almost fainted.

A young and strong man suddenly appeared behind him, and an axe smashed on the young man's back, and the boy wailed for it, almost crushing the fracture.

But, it's not fatal!

In this fight between villages, the villagers generally do not forget to greet each other's fatal parts, and do not kill each other.

Because even the most ignorant people know that murder pays for life.

Arrested by the government and put in prison, not to mention, the other party's family will also seek revenge until they kill their enemies!

"Stop! Stop! ”

After a long time, Fan Li led a large group of officials to arrive, including many stubborn armor soldiers.

After learning that there was a village-level armed fight on the outskirts of Jinling, the soldiers defending the city did not dare to slack off.

Because Fan Li showed himself as a token for the internal history of Su, and he conveyed the king's message, the soldiers of the Wu army who defended the city were also ordered to come.

Seeing this, the villagers, who had been fighting together, finally did not dare to act rashly, and knelt down one after another, throwing the murder weapon in their hands to the ground.

After all, even the stubborn armor has already been dispatched, and this is no joke!

"King! The minister is late, please surrender the king! ”

Fan Li hurriedly bowed to Qingji and pleaded guilty.

"The widow forgives you no sin."

Qing Ji replied vigorously, and then looked around again, focusing on the villagers who were already kneeling on the ground, trembling at it.

"Ten thousand years of the king!"

Knowing that the man in front of him was his own monarch, after Wu Wang Qingji, all the villagers, including Uncle Lao Hei, were frightened.

They never expected that they would gather a crowd to fight under the nose of the monarch!

Qingji was also disappointed in his heart for these villagers who dared to fight privately.

Almost every one of them had paint on their bodies, and even more of them were covered in bruises, and they had fallen in pools of blood, almost dying.

If Fan Li hadn't arrived in time with hundreds of people and horses to control this chaotic situation, I'm afraid there would have been more lives!

"Wait, it's too disappointing for the widow."

Qing Ji said coldly: "I, a native of the country of Great Wu, why am I so brave and ruthless? Ruoer and others are brave and ruthless, they are outsiders, they are on the battlefield, and the widows should be rewarded and encouraged. ”

"However, why do you do this in the same room, and do things that make relatives and enemies happy?"

Qingji's words made the villagers kneeling on the ground feel very ashamed, and they couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground for a while.

"King Mingjian!"

Uncle Hei slammed his head on the ground and said with tears in his eyes: "It's clear that they deceive people too much, they are rude first, and hurt people last." The grass people and others really can't swallow this bad breath! ”

"Nonsense! In front of the king, how dare you quibble and be untrustworthy? ”

The three elders of another village were very dissatisfied and said: "Daze Lake is the inherent fishing place of our village for generations, the ancestors are benevolent, let the people of your village fish together, but you are really rude, you want to dominate this Daze Lake?" ”

"Shut up!"

Seeing that they were arguing again, Qingji finally stopped saying more, and waved his big hand and said: "Put everyone into the prison and detain them, the injured will be treated by doctors, and the victims will be claimed by their families." ”

"No!"

After Qingji gave the order, the surrounding officials and soldiers immediately pushed and shoved the unarmed villagers, and took them back to Jinling City and put them in prison like driving cattle and sheep.

In this village-level armed fight, many people were killed and injured.

Five people died, and more than 20 were seriously injured, and it is estimated that they will be left with lifelong disabilities.

For this kind of folk private fighting, Qing Ji is deeply disgusted.

Originally, the population of Wu was not large, and if the people of the country were fighting privately, how many people would die every year?

Moreover, there are a lot of young and middle-aged laborers among them!

"Changqing, Shaobo, Er and others think that how should the widow deal with this riot?"

On the way back to Jinling City, Qingji put his inquiring eyes on Sun Wu and Fan Li.

The two looked at each other.

Fan Li first said: "King, private fighting among the people is a common practice, and it abounds in the kingdoms of the world. Especially in countries such as Wu, Chu, Qin, and Yan, it is especially serious! ”

"Or because of the competition for water to irrigate the fields, two villages or two tribes fought fiercely, and countless people died. Or because of the grudge between the father and grandfather's generation, the two families hated each other and attacked each other, so they have accumulated a grudge for a long time! ”

"Today's events are really a microcosm of the remote places of my Wu country."

"Almost every year, whether it is a fight between people in the village or a personal fight, the number of dead and injured is incalculable."

"In this way, please also ask the king to learn from it and severely punish those who participate in the armed fight, so as to set an example!"

Hearing this, Qing Ji was noncommittal, and set his eyes on Sun Wu's body again.

"Changqing, what do you think?"

Sun Wu pondered for a moment and said, "My lord, forgive the ministers for being blunt, the law does not blame the public. ”

"Now there are as many as 100 villagers involved in the fighting, and the king may be able to find out the murderers and seriously injure people, make them serve labor or be tortured, and then send them to the border!"

Fan Li and Sun Wu's statements are different, but they are essentially the same.

The law does not hold the public accountable!

During the Spring and Autumn Period, all countries also advocated governing the country with benevolence and virtue.

Unless it is a heinous sin, it will not be punished unto death, at most it will be punished harsherly, and then exiled to the border.

As Fan Li said, private fights in the world abound.

Even if it is a patriotic country where "there are many gentlemen who defend the land, and their country is in no trouble", there are vendettas.

In a remote country such as Wu, Qin, and Chu, they live together with the Rongdi barbarians, and the local people are even more disobedient and unruly.

Their private fights are often not personal vendettas, but large-scale armed fights between two villages.

If not, one village will slaughter another.

Such a tragic thing is not something Qingji wants to see.

As for personal vendettas, in fact, the nations are in favor of it.

For example, Qi, Lu, Wei, Jin and other Central Plains countries have been deeply influenced by Chinese culture for a long time, but for those who fight enemies, they are often praised as "warriors", with filial piety and righteousness.

Qingji also heard of a rather ridiculous thing, that is, in the state of Wu a few decades ago, there was a strong man who avenged his best friend and killed the person who killed his best friend.

Then, in a fit of rage, the other party's son killed the strong man, and the sons and grandsons of the strong man took revenge and destroyed him......

Isn't it ridiculous that the local government is ignoring such a thing?

The magical brain circuits of the ancients are really not something that modern people can understand for a while.
