Chapter 143: The Joy of Zhang Zhenren's Troubles
It is the first time for Zhang Qianyan to talk about his troubles with others like this.
She has always been respected by her own teacher, who is the current Dali National Teacher, as the next generation of national teachers, and she has learned most of the policies and legal principles of governing the country.
Because of the historical legacy, after a long evolution, their Yin Yang Warlocks are more like the combination of Confucianism and law.
Or rather, they are a group of law scholars who have learned the art of yin and yang.
It stands to reason that her status and identity are not much better than the saints of Tianxuan Holy Land, and she will not have and should not have troubles.
At least she wouldn't be bothered by external objects, and the only possibility should be herself.
It's like hesitating in the pursuit of Jian Nandou.
Of course, Zhang Qianyan at this moment is not too familiar with Gu Youtian, just because he just had some hazy simulated memories, he thinks that this person is more kind.
Of course, she will not talk about the game between the Dali royal family and the demon clan again.
He won't talk about Jian Nandou either, because it has nothing to do with him.
Her worries are not limited to Jian Nandou.
She and Lin Xiren are two extremes.
Senior Sister Xiaoxi was never worried about that kind of grand thing, the things she cared about were very small.
And Zhang Qianyan's troubles ......
"What does Gu Gongzi think of today's Da Li?"
Do you talk about your home and country as soon as you come up?
is worthy of being the heir of the national teacher.
"The country is strong, the people have enough food and clothing, and there is no one who dares to invade the feudal domain, although there are occasional demons and evil spirits, but it can also be called the wealth of the people and the country, and the peaceful and prosperous times."
Zhang Qianyan listened to Gu Youtian's impression of Da Li, and there was a faint hint of pride between his eyebrows.
She is very likely to succeed Dali as the national teacher, and she naturally feels honored for the prosperity of Dali.
Since she was a child, she was taught by her master to put her family and country first, so much so that she regarded the prosperity of Dali as more important than anything else.
Now that I hear someone praise Dali, I naturally feel like I am being praised for a good job.
After all, she is still a girl, and when she hears this statement, she can't help but feel a little happy.
Even the injuries on Yuan Ying were much lighter.
Her teacher, as the national teacher of Da Li, is the type who is serious and unsmiling, and even if she does a good job on weekdays, she can't get a few words of praise.
Sometimes some kind teachers will praise her, but every time like this, she will be refuted by her teacher.
said that as her disciple and as the successor of Da Li's national teacher, she should have been so good.
She even felt that she was not good enough, and she could have done better.
Over time, she never heard compliments again.
Even if she perfectly completed the task assigned by her master, what she got in exchange was only the ardent expectation that the master would increase the amount without increasing the price.
Shizun seems to want to train her into a more perfect "Dali National Teacher" than herself.
At this point, she and Li Qingmu are also two extremes.
Li Qingmu has a dirty nature, but she became the Holy Maiden of Tianxuan in extreme praise.
Zhang Qianyan worked hard and forged ahead, but he didn't get any praise.
The world is impermanent, and she has never complained about anything, which is the price that her identity brings to her.
Gradually, her sense of honor and disgrace no longer takes herself as the main body.
Instead, it was transferred to the great country that was built by their Yin-Yang Warlocks.
In a sense, Dali is their child.
When they are prosperous and strong, they will be happy about it, and if they are not, they will be disappointed and implement new policies to change.
Gu Youtian looked at Zhang Qianyan's smile and didn't understand which of his words was so pleasing to her.
But I have to say that Zhang Qianyan, who scattered the green silk, has less and less ethereal rhyme, and it is even more delicate.
She retorted slightly:
"The Demon Purification Division will not tolerate demons wreaking havoc in Dali."
Gu Youtian naturally agreed, but judging from the disaster caused by Xuancheng's sister Ruoyu at that time, the Demon Purification Division could not take care of every place in Dali.
Perhaps keenly aware of Gu Youtian's silence, Zhang Qianyan whispered to make up:
"Da Li is already thinking of improving the treatment of the Demon Cleansing Warrior...... But after all, the mortality rate of the Demon Purification Division is high, and there are not many people who come. ”
Zhang Qianyan is a quiet person on weekdays, but when he talks about Dali, he talks about it like a river.
There was no sense of alienation from Gu Youtian.
But he always felt that although Zhang Qianyan was radiant at the moment, he always had a strange taste.
He couldn't tell what it was like, maybe it was too shallow.
"For example, the family members of the warriors who died in the battle of the Demon Purification Division, Dali will allocate a house as a resettlement house, and will also find a way to make a living for them, if they have any applications to open a shop, the household department will also give them priority to pass the ......"
Zhang Qianyan was seriously describing to Gu Youtian Da Li's preferential treatment of the Demon Purification Warriors.
Her expression was like showing off her precious treasures.
It's not as sad as before.
Looking at Zhang Zhenren, whose eyes were shining, and even unconsciously leaned forward to get closer to him, wanting to hear him more clearly, Gu Youtian felt for a moment that maybe he should be a listener.
At least now she's happy, isn't she?
Who is sad when he shares his treasures with others?
But when she finishes talking about this grand plan, what kind of expression will she have?
Gu Youtian felt that he couldn't let her talk any longer, so he had to interrupt:
"Since Da Li is as prosperous as the real people say, why are the real people worried?"
Zhang Qianyan's voice stopped abruptly.
Gu You secretly said in his heart that he was offended, but if he didn't interrupt like this, he would probably not be able to know Zhang Qianyan's troubles after today.
As long as you don't do it, the problem will always be there.
Zhang Qianyan was stunned, and finally remembered what he had been talking to with Gu Gongzi, who had been an audience member for a long time.
At the thought of worrying about herself, her expression became a little confused.
How similar is the confused expression in the simulated plot, Gu You couldn't bear it, but he had to say to himself in his heart that this was what Zhang Zhenren had to bear to solve his worries.
"Huh......" Zhang Qianyan took a deep breath and recited a sermon.
It was back to its usual cool appearance.
She spoke:
"Gu Gongzi knows how many prisoners will be held in the Heavenly Prison in the imperial capital of Dali in a year?"
"The country of Dali is peaceful and peaceful, not to mention the imperial capital, I'm afraid no one dares to commit a crime at the moment, right? Gu guessed that there were probably only 100 people? ”
Zhang Qianyan's lips moved slightly, and after hesitating for a moment, he said;
"Sure enough, Gu Gongzi also guessed wrong."
"Please teach me a real person."
Zhang Qianyan's expression became solemn, and he sat down and said:
"In the imperial capital of Dali, the heavenly prison detained 1,0012 people last year, an average of nearly 1,000 people per year, and the number is increasing year by year!"
More than a thousand?
That's the prison of the Great Li Imperial Capital!
At the feet of the Son of Heaven!
The prisoners who can be imprisoned in the prison have committed a lot of crimes.
Previously, in Xuancheng, Gu Youtian and Li Qingmu also checked the files in the Xuancheng County Government, and there were only more than 200 people on death row every year.
Why is the imperial capital of Dali more chaotic than the remote Huainan Province?
"Emperor Dali is so messy?"
"No, with General Huben's Tiger Ben army, the imperial capital can't be chaotic at all."
"Then why are so many people thrown into prison?"
Gu Youting's questions also asked Zhang Qianyan's troubles to a large extent.
She looked a little dazed, and slowly spoke:
"Poor Dao couldn't figure it out either, but Poor Dao had caught a prisoner with his own hands...... Well, he's already been decapitated. ”
Zhang Qianyan's eyes cleared, and memories began to flood into her brain.
"That person's name, Poor Dao can't remember anymore, Poor Dao only remembers what he said when he interrogated this person in the prison."
"This person is a martial artist of the Second Realm."
Zhang Qianyan began to tell a story to Gu You.
On that day, Zhang Qianyan came to the prison on the order of his master to help interrogate some difficult prisoners.
At that time, this martial artist was escorted to the heavenly prison by the warriors of the Demon Purification Division.
She asked the man why he was in prison and the answer was: murder of a woman.
Carefully opening this person's file, Zhang Qianyan found some strange things.
First of all, the original crime of this person was not murder, but because he committed adultery.
Da Li is severely punished, and it is a solution for any man who commits the crime of adultery: beheading.
There is no other possibility.
As a result, the man who committed this crime did not need to be sent to the prison for detention, but could be beheaded directly.
It's convenient and hassle-free.
But he was sent to prison again for killing the woman after the defendant was convicted of adultery.
Looking through the file, Zhang Qianyan learned the original state of the matter.
On that day, this Second Realm martial artist was drinking with his friends in the restaurant, and because he had drunk to the fullest, he drank more, and when it was almost night, he was already drunk.
He was going to go home like that.
But he happened to see the widow Wang, who had just walked out of her mistress's house and was about to leave at night.
The weather was hot and humid that day, and she was also a bewitching person, so the widow Wang, who had just finished exercising, did not put on her gown, and was bumped into by the martial artist of the Second Realm in the night.
The wine was on the head, and without saying a word, he picked up the widow Wang and carried her to the melon field.
The melons broke and the insects chirped, and the mess in front of him made him wake up halfway like a lightning strike.
He naturally remembered Da Li's torture methods for the crime of adultery.
If the king's widow denounced him, he would not have escaped death.
On that day, he knelt in the melon field for half the night, saying that he had drunk and made a mistake, and begged the widow to spare him.
and was willing to give up all his possessions to the king's widow.
At this moment, it is obvious that life is more important than family wealth.
He is a single man, and he is a martial artist in the second realm, and he has accumulated a lot of silver money on weekdays, which is enough for Widow Wang and her mistress to enjoy the rest of their lives.
But she was a fierce character, and said that although she was a widow, she also had a crush, and now she was unclean.
and inform the government of his evil deeds.
When he heard this, he was frightened, and cried and begged the widow for forgiveness, and said that he would get some more money for her.
But the king's widow was unmoved, and said that she would denounce him to the government at dawn.
The martial artist of the Second Realm was angry, thinking that since he could not persuade him with good words and his family wealth, he once again committed violence against the widow Wang.
The widow of the king rebelled frantically.
And this time, he didn't have the strength to restrain it, and the strength of the martial artists of the Second Realm was like a typhoon to Xiaocao.
The widow died on the spot.
And he was also discovered because the movement was too big.
Finally, he was sent to prison.
He could not escape death, and he did not have the slightest fear or remorse in the face of Zhang Qianyan's question.
He said: She shouldn't resist, she shouldn't choose to denounce me, if she chooses to forbear, I will naturally let her go after the end. It's my fault that I was drunk, but wasn't she inviting me by appearing in front of me in the middle of the night in disheveled clothes?
His words revealed a sad death, yes, he should have died.
All the words he said became the truest thoughts in his heart, and his meaning was: although he was wrong, she should not choose to denounce him, in that case, she would be able to live, and she should quietly accept his strong explosion.
His words shocked Zhang Qianyan at that time.
She couldn't believe that this was the thought that appeared in her, under the rule of her master.
And it's still in the imperial capital!
Before he said such words, Zhang Qianyan couldn't even imagine that there were such vicious people in the world.
"Ask yourself, if Poor Dao swaps identities with him, it may be very likely that he will do whatever it takes to survive......"
Zhang Qianyan's eyes were lonely.
Her honor comes from Da Li, so sorrow naturally comes from Da Li.
She couldn't understand why such a person was happening, why something was happening.
Whether it was for this Second Realm martial artist or for that widow of the king, this was a disaster.
Gu Youtian probably understood Zhang Qianyan.
Others have learned where the strange sense of dissonance that they have discovered earlier comes from.
This person is very empty, so empty that he seems to only have Da Li in his heart.
It's not so much a lack of understanding of the case as a questioning of oneself.
She didn't understand whether her master and what she had done was entirely right.
This is exactly the same as her pursuit of Jian Nandou.
"Gu Gongzi, Poor Dao wants to hear your opinion, who did wrong in this matter?"
"Is that the Second Realm Martial Artist? Or is it the king's widow? ”
Now that the words have been said to this point, Zhang Qianyan no longer hesitated, and directly expressed the doubts in his heart.
Although the other party may not be able to get a correct answer, at least they can get a reference answer.
An answer that is different from her master, teacher, and Da Li.
She didn't pin her hopes too much on Gu Youtian, at least, after she said it, her heart was also a lot more relaxed.
However, Gu Youtian's words made Zhang Qianyan's persistence over the years begin to waver.
As a young man from the 21st century, Gu Youtian has seen countless such cases.
Naturally, I have seen countless comments about it.
But there is one of them that he personally agrees with.
Gu Youtian said to Zhang Qianyan: "If it wasn't a drunken adultery, none of them did anything wrong. ”
They are all reasonable choices made at the moment in order to protect their own interests.
"Huh?" Zhang Qianyan was a little confused, what kind of answer is this.
Someone must be wrong.
Gu Youtian explained slowly:
"Gu did not excuse the crime of adultery, but wanted to say to the real person that it was not any one of them that caused this tragic incident, but the law."
"Law?"
I'm sorry, these two days every day to work overtime to twelve o'clock, come back from work really no time to code, yesterday morning at three o'clock in the morning, and then eight o'clock and get up to work, last night and added to twelve o'clock, even three days of work, I feel that people are going to soar, kowtow to everyone
