Volume 5, The Beginning of Divine Might, Chapter 852, Right and Wrong (7) – Crime and Punishment

As he spoke, the middle-aged man obviously realized something, and walked forward directly, no matter what was still being tinkered with, his right hand knocked on the door quickly, and said: "Hurry up, open the door quickly, otherwise if something goes wrong with the prisoner, you will not want to escape punishment, although I know that this is what the governor wants you to do!"

Hearing this, the sound of "drumming" inside became louder, and it seemed to be speeding up to open the door, but I don't know why this door is so difficult to open, and the middle-aged man was about to say something at this time, "click", and the door over there finally opened.

At this time, the middle-aged man was already pushing the door vigorously regardless of 3721, and his figure was running inside, and the two young men in the back immediately followed, and the expression on the face of the jailer outside was even more embarrassed at this time, but after hesitating for a while, he also followed, and when he ran in, he did not forget to remind the person behind the door to close the door.

The jailer knew the road well, and there was someone running in front of him, so he followed it all the way, and soon came to the deepest cell here, but he saw a strange scene.

I saw a prisoner with his hands hung up, wearing prison clothes was hanging on the wall at this time, and his body was full of blood and scars, the prison clothes were already bright red, and the whole person was hanging softly.

Opposite the prisoner was a burly man with a long whip, but instead of wearing the clothes of a jailer or a government, he was dressed in a civilian garment.

But this is not a strange place, the reason why this scene is strange is because at this time a middle-aged man is kneeling outside the doorrail of the prison, which adult, and the handsome young man and the ordinary young man are a little confused Standing behind the middle-aged man, and he didn't dare to say anything or do anything, he could only stand silently there.

At this time, the burly man with the long whip had already stopped the "whipping", because most of the wounds on the prisoner's body were new, and it seemed that this person had just beaten them, but beating the prisoner like this was no different from dead.

"Why do you still have to intercede for this kind of person, doesn't he deserve to die?" The burly man holding the long whip pinched the long whip in his hand, and said to the middle-aged man outside the doorrail, anyone could see the burly man's anger, but it could be that there was someone next to him, or it could be because the burly man was already tired, so although he pinched the long whip in his hand, the burly man did not continue to whip the prisoner.

"Absolutely not, Lord Governor!" replied the middle-aged man at once, and the words in the air were clearly interceding for the half-beaten prisoner next to him.

The burly man was panting, his face was also turned to look at this side, obviously he still had something to say, after hearing the middle-aged man's words, the burly man continued: "This person has done too many bad things, and he is not angry." I didn't kill him, it's already cheap, and you still have to intercede for him?"

After the burly man said these words, he turned his head to look at the prisoner over there, and his eyes were condensed, obviously hating this kind of person to the extreme.

However, at this time, there was a sound of "bang", but the middle-aged man over there had already kowtowed on the ground, making the people around him stunned, which also made the long whip in the hand that the burly man was about to raise stop, and looked outside, but saw that the middle-aged man who was kneeling on the ground actually kowtowed on the ground.

"It has been less than ten years since the reconquest of this place, and the government has lost its way before, and the people have been scattered for a long time!" The middle-aged man kneeling on the ground did not raise his head on the ground, but his words had already come, but in order to be able to pass the words out, the middle-aged man did not completely knock his head on the ground.

After finishing speaking, the middle-aged man knocked on the ground again, this is the body stood up, looked at the burly man over there, and saw that the burly man seemed to have something to say, the middle-aged man had already preemptively opened his mouth and continued: "According to morality, if you know his situation, you can only pity him, not rejoice!"

After a pause, the middle-aged man said with a serious face: "Joy and can't, let alone anger?"

The burly man on the opposite side obviously sensed something different, but he couldn't figure it out, but he was already panting, and at this time he threw the long whip in his hand, and his figure came from which prison to the door.

Seeing this situation, the middle-aged man quickly got up, and after reaching out to open the cell door, he nodded to the burly man over there, and then the two didn't say a word, the burly man walked out under the leadership of the jailer who came before, and soon disappeared around a corner and disappeared without a trace.

At this time, the middle-aged man withdrew his gaze and looked at the prisoner inside, and sighed softly, but the handsome young man suddenly stepped forward and came behind the middle-aged man, and asked: "My lord, why do you want to intercede for a death row prisoner, he has committed a serious crime and deserves to be executed!"

"Yes, he should be executed, but he didn't lynch like this, it's not right!" the middle-aged man looked up at the ceiling helplessly, and replied like this.

"Didn't you say it before, if you lose your way, you can't be happy, but you can't be happy, but you're angry?" At this time, the words of the ordinary young man sounded beside him, but it was the ordinary young man who looked at the handsome young man.

The handsome young man obviously couldn't understand at this time, and after shaking his head, he didn't speak, but stood there with an unhappy face, as if he was sulking.

"Especially for court officials, it's even more wrong!" At this time, the middle-aged man obviously felt the mood of the handsome young man, so he added, and glanced back at the handsome young man, but when he saw his appearance, he just shook his head silently, and walked to the prison, as if he wanted to check what was going on with the prisoners inside.

"It is not the power of life and death that can maintain stability, but the rules! Especially when we put on that official uniform, we have too many, too many things are restricted!" The ordinary young man did not follow the middle-aged man into the prison, but said in such a whisper next to the handsome young man, obviously reminding the handsome young man of something.

The handsome young man didn't have a good face at this time, and he didn't even look at the ordinary young man over there, and although the ordinary young man was a little helpless, he didn't want to communicate with this kind of person who couldn't distinguish between "right and wrong", and the ordinary young man was also going to the prison at this time, because where the middle-aged man at this time was nervously checking, and the ordinary young man wanted to help.

But as soon as the ordinary young man entered the prison, the door of the prison was slammed shut, and everything around him changed and brightened, and the ordinary young man just turned his head to look out.

...........

In an extremely bright space, the light slowly dimmed, but what was revealed was a piece of white around it, and in this white there were two figures, but they were two young people.

The two young men stood opposite each other, it was the ordinary youth and the handsome young man before, but at this time, the appearance of the ordinary young man was completely "changed" back to the appearance of Qi Yu, and the handsome young man became a little blurred, looking like burning black energy.

However, there is a row of fences between the two of them, and the two are facing each other across this fence, if you look at it from a distance, you will find that Qi Yu is standing in a cage at this time, and the handsome young man is standing outside the cage, but the expression on Qi Yu's face at this time is extremely natural, and the handsome young man outside is burning to a blur, which is somewhat inconsistent with the "position" where the two are located.

"Isn't it uncomfortable to restrain yourself? Why don't you come out and let yourself go with me!" The handsome young man's right hand was extremely "soft" against the railing, and he said so, as if he had some opinions about the cage where Qi Yu was at this time, and wanted to "release" Qi Yu.

Qi Yu, who was standing inside, smiled slightly, and said: "Who said you can't let go of yourself here!" As he spoke, the smile on Qi Yu's face was even better, and he continued: "I only give myself so much space, and the life I want is within these restrictions, if I can do what I want here without breaking the rules, why not live like this for the rest of my life?"

"It's all from your heart, so why bother with so many details?" the handsome young man then asked.

Qi Yu clapped his hands at this time, just on the cage fence in front of him, the cage was trembling, and it seemed that the shape had changed a little, but this change was very subtle, so it could not be seen from the naked eye, and Qi Yu had already continued: " Doing what you want from the heart is not doing what you want, that will only lose yourself, only on the basis of rules to find what you think in your heart, what you love in your heart and the meaning of life, is it in line with the Tao, and only in this way can you live out me, otherwise what is the difference with a corpse, they are just lying on the ground as they like. Qi Yu shrugged, and a helpless expression appeared on his face.

But immediately Qi Yu added: "Do you say those corpses don't look like those people who are idle but fantasize about getting rich all day long?" After a pause, Qi Yu said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "No, no, the corpses are better than them, at least they don't cause trouble to others, don't they?"

The handsome young man didn't seem to have any words to refute at this time, or Qi Yu at this time simply ignored the handsome young man, turned around and walked around in that cage, muttering something in his mouth, as if he was saying something very interesting, his face sometimes thought, sometimes comprehended, but always with a certain smile, which made people feel his happiness.
