073, on behalf of the master craftsman

Looking at the other party's flag from afar, in the center is the Great Xia Dragon Flag, next to another bear flag, and behind it is the totem flag of various tribes and subject countries, which is the honor guard of the Son of Heaven. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Xia Qi is the Son of Heaven, and the founding name is Daxia, but the inheritance is still the legal system of Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor.

The headquarters totem of the Xia Hou clan is the bear, and the bear is also one of the totems of the Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor tribal alliance. After Xuanyuan became the Son of Heaven, he took the dragon as the banner, and the honor guard was matched with the totems of the various tribes to which he belonged, and Xia Qi followed suit today. Seeing the ox cart coming from a distance, the honor guard of the Son of Heaven had stopped, and the Son of Heaven Xia Qi stepped out of the car, stood alone in the middle of the road, and took the lead in saluting.

Seeing the Son of Heaven getting out of the car and walking, Xiao Jiu had already gotten out of the car, stood sideways on the side of the road and saluted. Of course, Xiao Jiu would not think that Xia Qi, the Son of Heaven, would take the initiative to salute him, so he gave way to the oncoming position, it seemed that Xia Qi was saluting the car, but in fact, it was.

Qingniu shook his head, looking like a cow, as if to say-don't talk to me if you have something, I'm the one who pulls the cart!

Bo Yi avoided it, and Qingniu had this attitude, so the only person who could speak was Xiao Jiu. Xiao Jiu opened his mouth and said, "Meet the Son of China!"

Xia Qi looked at the empty ox cart with some doubts, naturally concealed the embarrassment on the scene, and walked up to Xiao Jiu with a smile and said: "Qi Jiu heard the name of the Ninth Prince, pacified the state affairs of Baoming, and the success drifted away, which is a rare young talent in China, which makes Qi admire! I wonder why the Ninth Prince traveled in this car today?"

As long as the Son of Heaven is willing, it is not difficult to find out Xiao Jiu's identity and many things he has done since he was a child, but Xia Qi can't find out the exact relationship between Xiao Jiu and the tiger baby. Qingniu was right, Xia Qi did not come to Xiao Jiu, but to the car and the ox pulling the cart, more precisely, to the owner of the ox and the car.

Xia Qi spoke directly, and asked the key as soon as he opened his mouth. Xiao Jiu replied: "Just Baoming state affairs, there is Lao Tianzi worried, I am now traveling according to the guidance of Mr., this car was Mr.'s car, and this cow is also Mr.'s mount." With divine thoughts, he introduced his relationship with Huwa, and how the cow and the car came about, and there was nothing to hide.

Xia Qi was slightly stunned, and then smiled again: "The Ninth Prince and I are both the juniors of the Tiger Monarch, and we need to be close. Huwa gave the car to the ninth prince, and the ninth prince assisted the city lord in Zhaiyang City to ask the case, I don't know what else his old man commanded?"

Xia Qi did not find Boyi's body on the battlefield, nor did he find the human emperor's seal, so he had to declare that Boyi had died in the chaos. But Boyi suddenly appeared in the Central Plains, and he was still riding the white fragrant wood car of the tiger baby and Dayu, and the one pulling the car was the tiger baby's mount, the green cow, and Xia Qi was also taken aback.

Xia Qi had already guessed that Boyi was rescued by the tiger baby. Huwa and Boyi have an old relationship, and it is not too surprising to save Boyi's life, but Huwa let Boyi ride in his own car, and openly appeared in the Central Plains, and also asked about a murder case in Zhaiyang City, what does this mean?

Xia Qi couldn't bear the attitude of the tiger baby, so he would definitely come to inquire, even if it was for the whereabouts of the human emperor's seal, he had to come in person. Xiao Jiu deliberately made it so eye-catching when he left Zhai Yang City that day, and he also took a look at Zhai Shui's Bojun's car, so he had expected today's scene.

When did Mr. become an old man? Xiao Jiu replied very respectfully: "Mr. didn't give any orders, it was all done by Suiyu himself." I originally planned to rush to Zhaiyang City after the autumn, wait for the approval of your nuclear punishment from the Son of Heaven, and if necessary, I would go to the imperial capital to meet the Son of Heaven in person, but I didn't expect to meet the Son of Heaven here. ”

Seeing that Xiao Jiu claimed to be Suiyu's name, Xia Qi, the Son of Heaven, also changed his title: "It turns out that Mr. Suiyu has something to do with me, so I might as well go to Yuncheng with the car to talk about it, I also have a lot of things I want to ask Mr. Suiyu." ”

Xiao Jiu glanced back with some embarrassment and said, "I do have something to say to you, the Son of Heaven, but the cow that pulled the cart for me doesn't want to go into the city, can we just talk on the side of the road?"

This is two neighbors in the countryside who met on the road, and they stood on the side of the road and chatted about the sky? In front of him, it was the Chinese Son of Heaven who led the honor guard to wait here, and invited Xiao Jiu to go to Yincheng with the car, Xiao Jiu actually gave such a proposal? But he said that this was the meaning of the green cow, Xia Qi was also a little helpless, nodded and said: "Okay, I will order someone to set up a tent on the side of the road, you and my brother can talk well." ”

Xia Qi is not his father Dayu, he is strict and does not treat people so easily. He stood here talking to Xiao Jiu, and the guard of honor behind him, including the accompanying courtiers, did not dare to move, because the Son of Heaven had ordered not to disturb. But when Xiao Jiu first saw Xia Qi, the son of heaven, today, he felt very cordial, and Xia Qi even called him a brother.

Of course, this is still to save the face of the tiger baby, the tiger baby personally instructed Xiao Jiu for so many years, and also gave the white fragrant wood car to Xiao Jiu to ride, and Qingniu personally pulled the car for him, the relationship between the two is by no means ordinary. Why did Huwa save Boyi and take away the human emperor seal at the same time, and why did Xiao Jiu take Boyi to show up openly in a car, Xia Qi wanted to ask clearly.

Xiao Jiu shook his head and said, "Don't bother others, I have prepared a big artifact tent, is the Son of Heaven willing to go in and sit?"

As he spoke, he waved his hand and threw something out. This thing appeared out of thin air, and the shape is a treasure umbrella, like a canopy inserted in the car to shelter from the sun and rain. The umbrella was opened in mid-air and turned into a lotus leaf with a stem, and a large tent fell on the side of the road.

Xia Qi, the Son of Heaven, exclaimed, "Is this the artifact of the Tiger Monarch?" He could more or less guess the origin of this artifact, which was originally a leaf of a five-colored divine lotus.

Xiao Jiu smiled and nodded: "Yes, Da Niu just lent it to us." Huwa gave a lotus leaf to Qingniu, and Qingniu saw Mr. Sanshui's artifact umbrella, so he begged Yunqi for help to continue refining this lotus leaf into an umbrella cover on the car. It didn't take out this artifact along the way, but it lent it to Xiao Jiu privately.

The artifact can change with the shape of the god, and the umbrella cover is just a small means to turn into a big tent, and speaking in this big tent, outsiders can't snoop.

Xia Qi, the Son of Heaven, also smiled: "It is rare to see the big tent turned into the Tiger Monarch artifact, and it is also a blessing for Qi to be able to sit inside." ”

He and Xiao Jiu entered the big tent with their arms, and when they lifted the curtain, they found that it was empty, and the Son of Heaven instructed the attendants to quickly move in all the things they needed, including tables, seats, and refreshments, etc., and the utensils were all extremely beautiful, and in a blink of an eye, the empty tent was arranged, and then everyone was sent away.

After taking a seat, Xiao Jiu poured tea for the Son of Heaven, Xia Qi raised his glass in return, and then said, "I don't know how Tiger Jun is doing lately?"

Xiao Jiu replied: "Mr.'s whereabouts are uncertain, and I don't know where he is now. ”

"Yes, first salute Tiger Jun!" Xia Qi raised his glass and saluted into the air, and then asked, "Mr. Suiyu surprised the people by car, and he has not hidden his whereabouts recently, he must have expected me to come, I don't know what to see?"

Xia Qi is not stupid, of course he knows that Xiao Jiu deliberately alarmed him, he must have something to talk to him face-to-face, otherwise why prepare such a big tent? Since Xia Qi dared to enter the tent alone, of course he was not afraid that Xiao Jiu would be unfavorable to him, and he didn't think that the tiger baby would deal with him, but he was very curious about what would happen?

This matter was really not explained by Huwa, but Xiao Jiu himself encountered it, he immediately put down the cup and said: "In Zhaiyang City, the case of Chai Lang killing Danghan must be known to the Son of Heaven." I don't know how you decide?"

Xia Qi replied: "Are you doing this for this? Danghan did not commit murder against Chai Lang, but Chai Lang attacked and assassinated him in public, and according to the law, he had committed a capital crime. Even if the Han deserves to die, he should be executed by Yousi. However, in consideration of the fact that there was a reason for the incident, and in order to show mercy, I have condemned him, but I pardoned his sentence and changed him to serve three years. ”

The inside story of this murder has been clarified, Chai Lang's crime is conclusive, there is no doubt, the Son of Heaven convicted him, but pardoned his death sentence and exiled him to the river basin for three years of hard labor, which is already a very light punishment in comparison.

Xia Qi's tone paused, and then said: "If any master has an old relationship with Chai Lang, and something happens to Chai Lang on the road, it is his own business." But as the Son of Heaven, I can only order Cheng Kuo to do this punishment. ”

These words are clearly a hint and temptation, Xiao Jiu can understand it, Xia Qi is secretly referring to Boyi's matter. Bo Yi must have committed a capital crime back then, but he was rescued by the tiger baby, and Xia Qi could only announce that Bo Yi died in the chaos, and it was impossible to pardon him.

It's a little different from today's situation, but there are similarities. Xia Qi could have spared Chai Lang's death penalty, but it was impossible not to do other punishments. If Xiao Jiu has a friendship with Chai Lang and doesn't want Chai Lang to serve hard labor, he can go and rescue Chai Lang and resettle him himself, but the Son of Heaven will not change the order.

If that is the case, it may cause others to follow suit. If anyone thinks that someone deserves to die, assassinates him without being ascertained, convicted, and executed, and is not punished afterwards, then there will be chaos in the world and order will collapse.

Xiao Jiu shook his head and said, "I don't have an old relationship with that Chai Lang, and how to deal with it is the authority of the Son of Heaven, and I have no intention of interfering." At first, he only assisted the city lord to find out the inside story and truth of the case, so that he could report to the Son of Heaven and announce it to the people of the city. And today I want to ask the Son of Heaven, why did Chai Lang commit the crime of murder, and who else is responsible for it besides his own reasons?"

Xia Qi sighed and said, "Of course, it's because the city lord doesn't do it! Otherwise, I won't pardon his death sentence." ”

Xiao Jiu asked, "Does the Son of Heaven know what it means to be a great craftsman?"

Xia Qi: "I want to hear about it." ”

Xiao Jiu: "Mr. Zeng said. There are often killers who kill. The husband kills the killer, and it is said that the master is slashing. The master of the husband is the one who cuts it, and I hope that it will not hurt his hands...... If there is a division that has done its job, it is said to be ruled by inaction, and the Son of Heaven can take it for nothing, and there is no need for someone to cut it on behalf of the master.

Mr. Ziqiu was on the side at the time, and he also said. If the people have to cut it on behalf of the great master, they will hurt their hands, and the Son of Heaven will also hurt their hands. It is for the collapse of etiquette, and the beginning of chaos. ”

The reason why Shiaro was convicted was not because he mistakenly killed someone who should not have been killed, but because he did not have the right to kill without permission, and the situation at that time was not at all out of self-defense. The law set by Gaotao and followed by Xia Qi has very strict requirements for the execution of the death penalty, and each city has no authority to carry out the execution without authorization.

But on the other hand, such a thing happened because of the inaction of the city lord without a piece. Xiao Jiu had already said that the city lord had no way to find out the crime of the Han, the case was not complicated, and it was not beyond the ability of a normal person to find out. The most critical point is that Chai Lang has already denounced Danghan.

If Chai Lang didn't go to the city lord to denounce Danghan, but went directly to kill people, Xia Qi might not be able to say if he wanted to pardon him.

Therefore, in Xiao Jiu's opinion, whether Danghan should be killed is not the most important issue, even if the truth of the case is found out by Xiao Jiu himself. The reason why the Son of Heaven pardoned Chai Lang is not the point, but whether Chai Lang took the initiative to "cut on behalf of the great craftsman", or whether he had to "cut on behalf of the great craftsman".

If Chai Lang had to cut off the matter on behalf of the master craftsman, then who would be responsible? On the surface, it is impossible to find too many faults with the city lord without a piece, but is this really the case? The affairs of the world are the affairs of the Son of Heaven, so does the Son of Heaven have any responsibility? If the law enforcers do not enforce the law, and the rulers do not take care of the government, if some people do not do what they should do, some people will do things that they should not do, and the etiquette will collapse and chaos begins.

This is what Xiao Jiu wants to ask Xia Qi today, borrowing Mr. 's words.

Hearing this, Xia Qi got up and saluted Xiao Jiu and said, "Qi already understands, thank you Mr. Suiyu for your advice today, and if you have the opportunity, thank you for your words...... And there is one thing about Qishang. I heard Lord Zhai Shui say that he saw someone in your car with a description that looked like Bo Yi who had died in the chaos, I wonder if there is such a thing?"

Xiao Jiu asked unhurriedly, "Does the Son of Heaven want to arrest Boyi?"

Xia Qi shook his head and said, "Bo Yi is dead, and I haven't seen him just now." ”

Xiao Jiu asked directly: "Does the Son of Heaven want to ask where the Emperor's Seal is?"

Xia Qi finally nodded and said: "I am indeed here for this, I don't know if the human emperor seal is in the hands of the tiger monarch? If the tiger monarch keeps the human emperor seal, what is the purpose? This thing is very important, Qi has to ask!"

Xiao Jiu took out an object and put it on the case and said, "The human emperor seal is not in the hands of Mr., it is in my hands." My husband asked me to find an opportunity to return the Son of Heaven, and I met here today, just in time...... Son of Heaven, treasure it well, and don't lose it again. ”

......

Xia Qi and Xiao Jiu walked out of the big tent with their arms, looking like a father and son, and looking like close brothers. Xiao Jiu declined Xia Qi's invitation to enter the city together, claiming that he wanted to continue to travel in the mountains. The Son of Heaven personally sent Xiao Jiu to the ox cart, praised his hermit demeanor, and expressed his envy for being able to live freely outside the world, and then led the crowd back to the city.

After the big tent was collected, the ox cart continued to move forward, bypassing the city after ten miles, and continuing along the water in the direction of Wangwu Mountain upstream. At this time, Bo Yi floated back into the car and asked Xiao Jiu, "Suiyu Daoyou, did Xia Qi mention me?"

Xiao Jiu replied: "I did mention it, but he asked about the human emperor seal, not you." ”

Boyi: "Where's the human emperor's seal?"

Xiao Jiuyi spread his hands: "Give it back to him!"
