Chapter 043: Unpardonable Sin (1)
The dew rises on a cold night, the wind shakes the trees, the moonlight is faint, and the cool air is slow.
The chic and uninhibited Bai Luoshang, at this moment, is like a naΓ―ve child, squatting on the stone steps, hugging his knees, and wailing again and again.
originally thought that everyone would be happy when the murderer was caught, but in fact it was the opposite. This greatly surprised Bai Luosheng, and it also made him feel uncomfortable all the time.
After sitting in a daze for a while, I felt the cool air on the ground rushing from the bottom to the top.
Tan'er guarded him for a long time, seeing that his hands were red from the cold, and his lips were starting to turn pale, so he couldn't bear it, so he persuaded: "Son, don't sit here." β
Bai Luoshang muttered, "Why not? The moonlight here is just right, and I want to sit here." β
Tan'er was suspicious: "Childe is sitting here, is he really admiring this moonlight?"
Bai Luoshang pursed her lips and came over for a long time before replying: "No, I'm not in the mood to appreciate this cold moonlight at all." β
Tan'er sighed and said: "Since you haven't appreciated the moonlight, Childe should go back to the room first, sitting here at night will freeze." β
Bai Luoshang rubbed his hands and said stubbornly: "I don't." β
Tan'er sighed again and said, "Aren't you cold?"
Bai Luoshang shook his head, "It's not cold." β
"But I think you're frozen. Tan'er reached out and touched Bai Luoshang's hand, startled by the cold, "If you stay any longer, you will get sick." β
Bai Luoshang looked at Tan'er blankly and said, "Do you know what I'm doing now?"
Tan'er looked at Bai Luoshang with some tears and laughter, and said with a smile: "I don't know what Childe is doing, but I know that I won't be appreciating the moonlight anyway." β
"That's right, I'm not admiring the moonlight. Bai Luoshang turned her head and looked at the crescent moon in the sky stupidly, "I'm thinking about something, and I can't sleep until I figure it out." I heard that when people's brains are not clear, they need to be frozen. β
Tan'er only felt that she couldn't cry or laugh, stomped her feet and laughed: "What kind of truth is this? Why have I never heard of it?"
Bai Luoshang propped her temples with both hands, and said abruptly: "That's because the girl has never encountered a difficult thing that can make her want to break her head." β
Tan'er opened her mouth wide in surprise, "It must be a difficult thing to think about breaking your head." It must be a big difficulty to make Childe think about it. β
Bai Luoshang nodded: "That's right." β
Tan'er looked at Bai Luoshang with a smile and asked, "If Gongzi can't think of an answer for a night, do you want to freeze here for a night?"
"Yes. β
"Maybe after Childe goes into the house and drinks two glasses of wine, he will be able to figure out this problem. β
"Drinking?" Bai Luosheng's eyes flashed, but soon, he said with a sullen head again: "Even if I drink, I still can't figure it out." I don't drink until I figure it out. β
"Don't drink?" Tan'er opened her mouth wide in surprise, "It's really strange that Childe actually doesn't want to drink at times." β
Bai Luoshang smiled bitterly, raised her eyebrows slightly, smiled apologetically, and said, "The girl doesn't have to accompany me." β
Tan'er asked uncertainly, "Childe must continue to sit here?"
"Go back, let me sit again. Bai Luoshang tilted her head back again, looking at the dark sky in a daze, "I must figure it out by myself." β
Tan'er was also so frozen, she gently beat her legs, and saw that Bai Luoshang really had no intention of getting up, so she had no choice but to walk away quietly.
Yesterday, after talking to Duan Nanshan in Hail Cloud Temple, Bai Luoshang felt very uncomfortable.
Duan Nanshan's words were all about the fact that Qi Jing had to pay for his life when he killed someone, but the effect after saying it was to make Bai Luoshang think that Qi Jing's crime would not lead to death.
If there is anyone in this world who knows Bai Luoshang best, except for Duan Nanshan, there is no second person.
Since Bai Luoshang believes that this Qi Jing's crime is not to death, he will not see death without saving, coupled with his innate compassion for women, he already feels that those people are innocent in his heart, so he thinks that Qi Jing is a crime and does not deserve to die.
Presumably, Duan Nanshan also thought that Qi Jing didn't deserve to die, so he called him to the Hail Cloud Temple, and the appearance of Manwan was not accidental.
Duan Nanshan understands Bai Luoshang, and Bai Luoshang doesn't know Duan Nanshan.
After thinking about Duan Nanshan's intentions, Bai Luoshang hung his head like a frosted eggplant, and he couldn't lift his spirits all day.
Could it be that Qi Jing was arrested, was it really his fault?
Shouldn't Qi Jing be arrested?
Is it not wrong for Qi Jing to kill people?
It was the first time that Bai Luoshang felt depressed because she had helped the government catch the murderer.
He thought he had done a great deed, but now it seemed as if he had done a great deed.
How can this not be depressing?
The so-called "good intentions do bad things" should be like this.
Bai Luoshang sat and sat down, and began to stand alone, until another voice with a low voice spoke to him, and then pulled his deep thoughts back.
"Brother Bai has something on his mind?" Lin Anwei didn't know when he arrived, but he looked at Bai Luosheng's face while worrying about helping people with his hands.
Bai Luoshang got up, but his two feet didn't listen to the call, and he tried twice before he got up tremblingly.
Looking at the two legs, Bai Luoshang couldn't help but sigh again, and sighed: "It seems that these two legs are also against me." β
Lin An looked at Bai Luoshang with a slight amusement, "What's wrong with Brother Bai today?"
Bai Luoshang patted his thigh and said with a wry smile: "I'm thinking about a problem. β
"Oh?" Lin An took a slight step back, "What kind of problem is it?"
He was really curious about what could make Bai Luoshang think of forgetting to sleep and eat in this world.
Bai Luoshang beat his legs and said with a wry smile: "I'm thinking about the issue of killing people must pay for their lives." β
Lin An was slightly stunned, and then smiled again: "So, has Brother Bai come up with the result?"
Bai Luoshang jumped twice on the spot, rubbed the corners of his forehead again, and sighed: "I almost wanted to break my head, but I still haven't figured it out, so it can be seen that this problem is really a big problem." β
Lin An said slightly: "The answer to this kind of question itself is not absolute, it varies from person to person and from thing to thing. β
Bai Luoshang sighed and shook his head, and said with a sad face: "I think so too, I also think that the answer to this question is not absolute." Killing people, paying for lives, sounds very fair, but it also feels very unreasonable. β
Lin An thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Killing people to pay for their lives and paying off debts is a matter of course in the eyes of many people. β
Bai Luoshang asked rhetorically: "If the murderer is a good person, and the person who is killed is a bad person?"
Lin An was silent for a while before smiling and said: "Paying for life is the result of sentencing, extrajudicial, and humane." β
After listening to the latter sentence, Bai Luosheng's eyes suddenly lit up, and then told Lin Anwei about the matter of Yusheng Tower in detail, of course, including the fact that he reminded Li Yuanzheng to go to Yusheng Tower to wait for the rabbit.
He had been haunted by this matter for the past two days, especially after seeing Manjuan in the Hail Cloud Observatory, he suddenly felt a sense of guilt.
Lin Anwei didn't react much after hearing this, but just comforted Bai Luoshang a few words.
Lin Anwei said that Bai Luoshang didn't have to worry so much about this matter. No matter what the motive for the murder is, if you kill someone, you should be brought to trial by the government yamen, even if Bai Luoshang doesn't know anything and doesn't say anything, the murderer will be arrested sooner or later.
This is the so-called causal cycle, and whatever you do, sooner or later you will bear the consequences.
Whenever a murderer is caught, it is because he killed someone first before he gets this retribution. This is a fact, and it will not change because of Bai Luoshang, let alone because of what Bai Luoshang did, that person was arrested by the government.
Although these words are reasonable, although this reason is true, Bai Luosheng's heart is still bored, he covered his head and slept all night, and the next day he didn't eat breakfast and went out with his sleeves out to have fun.
Tan'er looked at Bai Luoshang's back inside the door, and wondered: "It's really rare, Gongzi actually has unhappy times." β
As he spoke, he saw Lin Anwei coming from the corridor.
"He's out?" Lin An asked slightly, naturally in white clothes.
Tan'er saluted and said with a smile: "Yes, it's just that the spirit is not very good." β
"Hmm. Lin Anwei didn't say much.
Bai Luoshang went out, according to the past, if he didn't go to the Qinglou, he would go to the tavern, but today he didn't go anywhere, but went to the Yamen.
Because at this time, the most lively place in the whole Fengzhou is the county government hall.
I don't know what the county official had in mind, and he actually wanted to openly try the case of Yushenglou, and at this moment the door of the county government was opening for the people watching the excitement.
Maybe it's because there hasn't been a case in Fengzhou County for too long, or maybe it's because I've never seen a public trial, and almost half of the city has gone to see the excitement. So much so that when Bai Luoshang arrived, he had to squeeze in desperately with all his strength to see the court.
Today's yamen is very clean, and the entire public case is bright, which is completely different from the last time I saw it, and it can be described as spotless.
The officials who were divided into two shifts were refreshed and refreshed, and they did not see the laziness and procrastination of the past.
And the most different thing is the high-seated county magistrate.
A solemn court, a majestic county official. Today's court is not comparable to yesterday's.
This made Bai Luosheng, who only came to watch, couldn't help but feel refreshed, thinking that today's county magistrate really wanted to make a big difference in him.
I only heard a crisp sound from the startling wood, and the county official shouted angrily: "Ascend to the hall!"
The wolf-like servant, holding the law board, stood on both sides, and howled in unison with a tail note: "Ascend to the ...... Hall"
The county magistrate shouted again: "Bring someone to criminal!"
The officials immediately roared "might-martial-".
Could this be the rumored "Tang Wei"?
Bai Luosheng's eyes were round, and he suddenly felt that today's county government was really majestic and amazing.
After a while, the prisoner was escorted up, and it was Qi Jing, a murder fugitive from Yusheng Tower.
