In front of a dark and dreary cell.

"Zheng Fei, Zheng Fei, you have caused a big disaster, and now you still don't know how to repent? Let me ask you again, do you know if you are wrong?"

In front of the cell, a figure standing in the darkness spoke bitterly.

He was only silent.

"Don't speak? Charge the emperor's chakra, and even throw weapons at the saint's mount! Once this culpability is decided, you are not the only one who is unlucky!

Think about your own family, think about your relatives and friends, do you hate them so much that you want to drag them into the water together?!"

The figure in front of the cell became more and more angry and reprimanded.

"I'm not wrong."

Inside the cell, a weak voice finally came out.

"Nothing wrong?"

The figure in front of the cell began to jump to his feet, "What's the use of you telling me this? Do you know how many people have been implicated in what you have done? Don't think you've been crushed in a cell for a few months and you've been wronged.

Those who begged for mercy for you have now moved their heads! And thou art unrepentant?"

"Which law of the Xia Dynasty did I violate?"

The figure huddled in the cell asked rhetorically.

"Oh, still clinging to your law? The leader of the Legalist family, Lord Shang, had resigned a few years ago, and now he is afraid that he has gone west.

Without Lord Shang in front of the emperor, who are you? Is the new Legalist leader not successful?

With your eyes, even the emperor can't see clearly, and it is the mercy of the Xia Dynasty that a person like you can be a street patrolman.

Now that you have collided with the emperor, you have moved out of the laws of the Xia Dynasty, who will administer justice to you?

The so-called law is just one sentence above!"

The figure in front of the cell was dancing, and the thick darkness was not clear, not to mention that Zheng Fei's eyes were not good, and he could only barely see that a slightly humanoid thing in the darkness was dancing with teeth and claws.

"Although Mozi is gone, the Mo family still exists. Xunzi is gone, but Confucianism is still there. Could it be that if Shang Zi is not an official in the Xia Dynasty, the Legalist family will become an empty piece of paper?"

Zheng Fei's weak but firm voice sounded, "I act according to the laws of the Xia Dynasty, and I am not guilty!"

"I'm not guilty of you!"

The figure in front of the cell finally couldn't bear it anymore and slapped it on the cell door, "How clear do you want me to tell you? Don't talk about the Mo family and Confucianism, the Mo family and Confucianism are not so powerful in the temple!

The Xia Dynasty is the territory of the Xia Emperor, and the Xia Emperor is the rule! Do you want to cut the Xia Emperor with the sword of the Xia Emperor? What could be more ridiculous than this? You have to find out who is the master of the Xia Dynasty!"

"Hmph."

A cold snort sounded, no matter how he spoke, Zheng Fei was unmoved, "If you want to cut me, cut me, don't talk so much nonsense." I act according to the laws of the Xia Dynasty, even if the Xia Emperor is close at hand, I am not guilty!"

"Okay, okay, don't eat soft and hard, right? Then stay in your cell, and I'll see who can save you!"

The guy who was talking in front of the cell door finally left.

Zheng Fei leaned against the cold floor, and there was endless darkness in front of him.

His eyes were not good, even in broad daylight, he couldn't really see the scene a few feet away, and he could only see vague outlines.

Even if it is close at hand, you have to use all your strength to barely see it clearly.

Because of this, he suffered a lot when he was a child.

When ordinary people read books, the handwriting on them is always clearly visible.

But most of the time, he can only learn with bamboo slips, perceive by the touch of his hands, and judge by the echo of his ears.

Eyes grow on his body, more often than not, but it is always a burden.

There are very few people like him who are born with a disease, but not none.

If he were elsewhere, his life would have come to an end.

But his family is still wealthy, and he himself has a heart to learn.

Even though he was born with a cripple, he still refused to give up.

He studied the laws of the Xia Dynasty by himself, measured the words on the bamboo slips inch by inch with his fingers, and figured out the painstaking efforts of the sages of the Xia Dynasty through the inscriptions on the bamboo slips.

Just because his eyes are half-blind doesn't mean his heart is blind too.

Through his own efforts, he was familiar with the laws of the Xia Dynasty.

Later, with his pondering and studying of the law, he successfully passed the assessment and became an ordinary street patrol in the imperial capital.

This is not a big position, on the contrary, it can only be regarded as the smallest official, but it also needs real talent.

He can also rely on it to support himself.

Zheng Fei thinks this is very good.

That is, in the Xia Dynasty, it was also able to tolerate a person with eye disease to hold a small part of the power.

As for the higher position?

He didn't think about it, after all, his eyes were sick, and many things were understood in his heart, and if he couldn't see it really, he couldn't convince others.

That's how the days were supposed to go.

Until he caught a guy who obviously disobeyed the laws of the Xia Dynasty and controlled the beast on the street in the imperial capital.

No wonder so many people in front of him didn't stop him, allowing the other party to go within his jurisdiction.

The other party is the emperor of the Xia Dynasty!

But doesn't the law also include the emperor?

Zheng Fei had never really thought about this question in the past.

After all, when Shang was in the position of prime minister, even Emperor Xia was only a part of the laws of the Xia Dynasty, and it was a whole.

Now that Lord Shang is gone, is Emperor Xia ready to break out of the law?

In the months that he was detained in his cell, Zheng Fei had been thinking about it.

The law, the emperor, the law enforcer......

Between the three, who is above, who is below, and who has to judge the situation and change due to different identities?

If it could be converted, wouldn't the law become a toy?

Today, because the other party is Emperor Xia, he can turn a blind eye.

Tomorrow, because the other party is a member of the court, he will deliberately tolerate it.

What else can the law be after going back and forth?

If the other party is able to ignore the law because he is more official than himself, then what do you need to do with the law enforcer? Wouldn't it be nice to recruit Takeo directly?

Zheng Fei stayed in the dark, and there was a foul stench all around him, which made people want to gause.

The cage in which he was imprisoned was not large, and it was only a place where he could eat, drink, and lazar, so you can imagine how the taste was disgusting.

But the real difficulty is not the surrounding environment, but the unsolvable confusion in the heart.

Zheng Fei found a new question, but at this time, he did not have an answer.

Perhaps there is no need for an answer.

He never confessed his sins, and there was always a limit to patience.

This is evidenced by the increasing frequency of "exhortation" today.

If you die, you don't need to face the problem anymore.

Who can not die?

Even the leader of the Legalist family, Lord Shang, had to resign one day when he grew old.

Compared to those sages, he is just an ordinary Xia Dynasty commoner, and he may not be able to find the answer he wants in his life, this is the norm.

Zheng Fei's head was leaning against the wall, cold.

Consciousness gradually became dull, and I wanted to step into a mild night, and no longer think about the intricacies.

"Crunch~"

At a certain moment, just when Zheng Fei wanted to fall asleep.

The closed cell door was opened.

A man walked in and woke Zheng Fei up.

Zheng Fei straightened his tired body, although his body was tortured, and although his spirit was extremely tired, he still straightened his waist and looked at the comer.

Of course, he couldn't see clearly, even in broad daylight, he might not be able to see clearly.

But that's his attitude, no matter what

It's the executioner or whoever it is, it's all the same.

"Do you regret it?"

The person who came in spoke slowly, his voice was very calm, without the annoyance that he had been constantly reprimanding him before, and he asked an ordinary question, as if the two people on the side of the road happened to meet, and then asked if they had eaten.

"Nope."

Zheng Fei replied without hesitation.

It's the same if you ask 10,000 more times.

He acted according to the laws of the Xia Dynasty, and he died without regret.

"You can regret it."

The man who came in said, "If you say that you have done something wrong, I will keep you innocent. You can also continue to be a street patrolman, as if nothing had happened before. How about you continue to act in accordance with the laws of the Xia Dynasty and uphold the righteousness in your heart?"

There was a brief silence.

That's a really good condition.

As long as he lowers his head and admits his mistake.

And so the matter was revealed.

After all, what's wrong with His Majesty the Emperor of the Xia Dynasty bowing his head and admitting his mistakes?

I don't know how many people want to kneel with each other but there is no way!

The fact that he was able to rush into His Majesty and escape intact was already quite something to brag about.

Could it be that he still wanted the Emperor of the Xia Dynasty to run over and bow his head to apologize to him?

If only one of the two admits their mistakes, out of 10,000 people, I'm afraid that 10,000 people will support Emperor Xia.

It's that he makes a big fuss and doesn't know how to adapt to changes.

However, Zheng Fei shook his head and said, "I'm not wrong."

"Why?"

The person who came in asked curiously, "You just need to nod your head and go back to your old life." Locked up in such a cramped cell today, survival is a problem.

Your family, your friends, are likely to be implicated in your affairs. If the name of the emperor is really decided, the ancestral tomb will not be kept.

And all this is just because you are not willing to bow your head and admit your mistakes.

Do you think it's really worth the persistence at this point compared to the risks?"

Silence again.

Zheng Fei did not speak.

The person who came in continued, "You nod your head, it's a small thing, it's your mistake. And Emperor Xia is generous, willing to forgive your mistakes, and everyone is happy.

Emperor Xia has shown his kindness, and you can go back to your own place.

But if you don't nod your head, then this is a big deal, a big thing. If you didn't do anything wrong, then it could only be that the emperor of the Xia Dynasty did something wrong.

Some things, if you don't say it, are less than three or two, but once you really take it out, it will be more than three thousand catties, and few people can hold it.

Have you figured it out?"

"I don't know."

Zheng Fei struggled to get up from the ground and stood up straight, "Death is death. Who can't die? Even Mozi can't be spared, is my life more precious than Mozi?

Mozi is willing to sacrifice his life for the people of the world, and the world still remembers it. I, Zheng Fei, am not that powerful, and I can't compare to Mozi. But if one day, the laws of the Xia Dynasty are nothing, and the people after them will investigate this matter, I will not let future generations see that the laws of the Xia Dynasty are broken on me.

As you say, I nodded, it's just a small thing, a little thing that can't be lighter.

But this little thing will be infinitely magnified because of my choice, so that everyone knows that the laws of the Xia Dynasty can vary from person to person and can be retreated.

My death is nothing, someone will die every day in the Xia Dynasty, what is there to mention?

But I can't do it, and it can't happen to me.

That's all."

Perhaps someone will eventually break the laws of the Xia Dynasty.

No, someone must have sabotage.

Even when Lord Shang is still around, someone will destroy it.

No matter how good the law is, it depends on people to carry it out.

But those laws that are broken are often due to human desires.

The things involved did not affect the emperor of the Xia Dynasty, the decision-maker of the Xia Dynasty.

Previously, even the emperor was following the laws of the Xia Dynasty, so every person from the Legalist family could hold their heads high and tell every citizen of the Xia Dynasty who violated the law that the emperor did not violate the law, how old are you?

No matter how big you are, can you be bigger than the emperors of the Xia Dynasty?

Isn't the law supreme!

But now he took the laws of the Xia Dynasty and slashed the emperor's body.

This little thing is not small.

It will become a landmark event in the Xia Dynasty, and in the entire Xia Dynasty, I don't know how many people are staring at it.

Perhaps this is the real reason why he never died.

His life was nothing at all.

The impact behind this matter is a real major event for the Xia Dynasty, which is enough to really affect a major event of the Xia Dynasty.

After the Shang left, it was a big matter where the Legalists would go.

And Zheng Fei chose to use his life to defend the laws of the Xia Dynasty.

Although it is possible that after his death, the laws of the Xia Dynasty will be changed immediately.

"Good."

Gu Dan nodded, "I also have the best intentions, although I have not regretted my death. Come out, you are not guilty."

"Huh?"

Zheng Fei, who was ready to die, was stunned in place.

"Let's go."

A hand grabbed his arm and led him out of the cage.

After walking through the dim and somewhat long passage, the eyes suddenly opened up.

The sky is bright.

Endless light swayed down from the sky, and Zheng Fei subconsciously used his hands to cover his eyes.

After months of confinement in a cell, it was difficult to see even the light of the lamp, and now suddenly the light of day came to him, and people did not dare to open their eyes.

After a while, Zheng Fei was finally able to barely adapt to such a clean and bright environment.

The gray eyes looked at the man who was pulling him.

Wearing a green robe, although his face is not very real, but that temperament does not seem to belong to the world.

This figure ...... He seems to have seen it.

On the back of the green ox at the beginning, the emperor of the Xia Dynasty drove the green ox for him.

He didn't know who the other party was.

"By the way, you haven't said what kind of punishment Emperor Qizhi needs to receive for violating the laws of the Xia Dynasty?"

The man in the green robe suddenly asked.

"Whoever indulges a ferocious beast on the street, disturbs the peace, and does not hurt anyone, will be fined a first class for the first time."

Zheng Fei said subconsciously.

"Okay, just do as you say."
