Chapter 274: Eliminating Harm for the People
Shan Zhixian's whole face collapsed, if a mortal commits a crime, he must report to the Jingshi, and only after obtaining permission can he ask for beheading. He, as a magistrate, did not have the power to arbitrarily impose the death penalty, but the yokai were different.
The monsters in the Xuanyuan world have no human rights, and for the same crime, the disposal of monsters is much more severe than that of humans, and as for the monsters who kill officials and rebel, of course, they are killed on the spot, and they are never polite.
Shan Zhixian has the power and responsibility to correct it, and now under the gaze of the people and the persecution of Ye Xingyuan's words, he has almost no other choice.
"Do you really want to kill this black fish essence?" The people in the hall were taken aback, they had always known what kind of virtue Shan Zhi County was. He has always been timid and afraid, does he really dare to kill the dragon king's brother-in-law on the spot without fear of the powerful?
Some people who had been swallowing their anger finally couldn't help but smile, especially the people who were killed relatives and friends in Banqiaodu, some people cried and gritted their teeth and said: "The hatred of killing my father, I don't share the sky, ask Lord Qingtian to uphold justice!"
As soon as someone took the lead, someone began to chim, "Kill him!"
Shan Zhixian understood what it meant to be angry, and he also knew what it meant that the general trend was gone, and as soon as he closed his eyes, he also knew that he couldn't hide today, so he was ruthless. This monster has harmed countless people, it should have been killed, and I will be a hero again.
He took out the order arrow, threw it hard into the hall, and shouted: "The black fish is crazy, killing people, confessing in court, and beheading according to the law." Demon clan offenders, correct the law on the spot, where is the executioner?"
"Wow!" The stout man in the hall carried the ghost head knife, rushed up, grabbed the madness, and said with a smile: "The demon slayer knife passed down in the family has never been cut off a little demon in the past few years, thank you for being the master of the people, I will cut this knife cleanly." ”
Ao Qi panicked at this time, and shouted: "You can't kill me! You can't kill me! My brother-in-law is the Dragon King of Dinghe!"
The executioner was very strong. Stretching out his hand to carry Ao Mad like a lantern grass, he hurried out of the court, and then knocked down Ao Mad at the entrance of the yamen, and laughed: "Even the emperor Lao Tzu can't save you now!
He raised the knife in his hand, only to hear a sound, and the crazy head was divided, and he made a rolling gourd, with a hideous face. A cloud of filthy blood erupted from his neck, and at first he was still twitching his hands and feet, as if he was about to struggle. But soon he froze to the ground.
The demon soul did not disperse, and let out a terrible roar, but it was sucked and stirred by the ghost-headed knife, and all of them were shattered, and they could not be reborn forever!
Executioners who have accumulated years generally have two knives, one knife to kill people, and one knife to kill demons. This demon slayer knife has the ability to shatter the demon soul, where can the cultivation of the madness be able to resist it, and the soul is broken by the sword qi. Even the opportunity to go to the underworld was denied.
Everyone cried with joy, and most of them rejoiced, shouting together that the Great Master of the Blue Sky Shengming! Thank you Ye Zhuangyuan for making a move! Shan Zhixian had never been so embraced and flattered. I was stupid for a while.
Ye Xing saw this evil demon ambushing him, and his heart was open, although it was only a small episode, it could be regarded as a complete merit. If this kind of injustice hadn't happened, it would have been fine. If you encounter it, you must take care of it, so that you can have a good idea.
Today's Ye Xingyuan is no longer the one who has just stepped into the Xuanyuan world, and he is cautious. Even if you feel the existence of the Destiny Trap, the husband will do something, and he will do something. The so-called "bravery" of tens of millions of people, he has a deeper understanding.
This is probably the reason why he has been wearing General Pei's treasure knife for a long time, especially after the examination, Ye Xingyuan has recovered some edges and corners, and he tends to deal with things more directly.
Shan Zhixian killed the Ao madness, sweated through heavy clothes, and overdrew a lifetime of courage, seeing that Ye Xingyuan was leaving, he hurriedly retreated from the hall and ordered the master to stop him, and invited Ye Xingyuan into the back office.
Ye Xingyuan took pity on him for his courage, and finally he finally ordered the knife to be cut, so he gave face and went to the back office to use tea.
Changqing County is really not rich, or Shan Zhi County is not extravagant, and the back office is also very simple, and the wine and food he uses are still messy and have not been cleaned up.
Shan Zhixian's face turned red, and he quickly asked someone to clean it up, and served fragrant tea, and then sat down as the guest and host. Ye Xingyuan said with a smile: "The county lord slashed down with a knife, and the crowd cheered, is he in a better mood?
Shan Zhi County Magistrate sighed: "It's strange to say, I'm not afraid of Brother Ye Xian's jokes, before I ordered to kill the black fish essence, I was scared half to death." But after the order was really given, I was not so scared, and the matter has come to this, so what can I do?"
He beheaded the black fish essence, and his courage grew, and by the way, he called Ye Xingyuan a brother and sister, so as to get closer.
Ye Xingyuan clapped his hands and said: "It is precisely this principle, the saint Yun Yong is not afraid, that is, he must have this breath of breath to close his eyes and let go of the cliff." Such a move to win the hearts of the people, obey the heavens and people, and do not violate the law, so why be afraid of it?"
Shan Zhixian recalled the taste of cheering in the public court, only to feel sweet, and forgot his fear for a while, nodded and said: "Fortunately, I was reminded by the virtuous brother, I know all kinds of yesterday's wrongs, today's knife not only cut off the head of the madness, but also cut off the fear in my heart." Looking back on the past, I am ashamed. ”
The master was bypassed by Ye Xingyuan after hearing his words, and said worriedly: "My lord is also not easy in every way, I am afraid that it will be more uncomfortable than the county master attached to Guo by the Dinghe River." If you don't clamp your tail and be a man, can you be safe?
This time, I raised my eyebrows, but I don't know how to deal with it in the future. The champion is patted on the ass and left, my family will have to bear the consequences here!"
Shan Zhixian hurriedly scolded: "Hugh wants to talk nonsense, killing demons and reassuring the people, it is the business of this official, what does it have to do with the champion?"
Ye Xingyuan's heart moved, and he also understood that Shan Zhixian wanted to leave him in order to let the master say this. Maybe killing a black fish spirit made Shan Zhi County Daigo empowered, but the logic of his behavior will not change for many years, and his fear of Dinghe Dragon Palace is deep-rooted.
Shan Zhixian was afraid that if he, the initiator, turned his head and left, the Dragon Palace would pour all his anger on him, so he came to find a way. However, the Dinghe Dragon Palace actually came to this point, so that the counties by the river had the sigh of "attached Guo", which was also unexpected by Ye Xingyuan.
The so-called "three lives do evil, and the county is attached to Guo", which means that if the county is unlucky and is in the same place as the city, then there is no prestige of Bailihou at all, and he can only be managed by others. And these magistrates by the Dinghe River, each of them has the pain of attaching Guo.
However, they are not attached to the palace city, but this stretching Dinghe River, which is the Dragon Palace hidden at the bottom of the Dinghe.
Ye Xingyuan didn't quite understand, so he asked: "Although the Dragon King is noble, he is limited by the rules of heaven, and he can only manage the affairs in the water, and must not interfere in local government affairs. Why should the county be so jealous?"
The Han River flows through Dinghu Province, but I haven't heard of the surrounding prefectures and counties having this entanglement, is it because the Dinghe River has a different relationship?
Shan Zhixian shook his head with a wry smile and said: "The virtuous brother is not an official on the bank of the Dinghe River, and he doesn't know the suffering of the Dinghe official. Although Tiantiao stipulates this, but the dragon king is powerful, if he really wants to play the side ball, who can cure him?
Especially in the past few years, the Dragon King has acted more radically, my Changqing County is quite good, I heard that the upstream counties, all respect the order of the Dinghe Dragon King, that is, the grain tax has to give him a filial piety. ”
He lowered his voice, terrified. Ye Xingyuan was stunned for a moment, and said in a lost voice: "Isn't this a big rebellion?"
According to Ye Xingyuan's understanding, the status of the underwater dragon king is actually similar to that of the vassal king, although the nominal status is extremely high, it is also strictly restricted. Just as a vassal king cannot leave his fiefdom, so neither can a dragon king leave his own waters.
It is said that it is to spread clouds and rain and irrigate the surrounding area, but this leaf is just a concept, and the specific work is still done by the Heavenly Court Rain Master. And after the local people called for wind and rain to adjust the vitality of heaven and earth, the dragon king did not even have this formal effect.
Therefore, when Ye Xingyuan offended the Hanjiang Dragon Palace, although he knew that there was a huge disparity in strength, he was not particularly afraid, just because he knew that the Dragon Palace had no real power.
The local officials have to listen to the words of the dragon king, and even contribute grain taxes, which means that the vassal king wants to control the place, regardless of what his purpose is, but if there is such an act, the court can think that you are a great rebel!
Shan Zhixian hurriedly stopped: "Virtuous brother Shen Yan! This matter is actually very widely spread along the Dinghe River, and almost everyone in Hexi and Jianmen provinces knows about it, but it is not so obvious in our Hedong."
The imperial court is losing control of the northwest more and more, in addition to the demon clan and the Liukou, there is actually a Dinghe Dragon King. Ye Xingyuan thought about it for a while, it was also the place where the imperial court was out of control, and the dragon king took advantage of the situation, since he did it so obviously, the imperial court would not be without a little news, and there was no reaction so far, it could only be said that he turned a blind eye.
Ye Xingyuan sighed in his heart, the more he understood this world, the more he discovered the decay of the imperial court. It's no wonder that Emperor Longping doesn't do his job, even if he wants to work hard, he doesn't know how to make up for so many holes.
About the emperor, he also felt that the crown prince could not bear the burden of the world, so he ruthlessly abolished him. At this moment, Ye Xingyuan actually understood Emperor Longping a little more.
Since the dragon king is so arrogant, then today's things are afraid that they will not be good. Ye Xingyuan still thought about it simply, he thought for a while, and then asked: "Is the county venerable worried about the Dragon Palace's personal revenge?" If so, I have a plan, so I will leave a bag at the county venerable, and when the Dragon Palace comes, I will be able to deal with it." ”
Shan Zhixian and the master looked at each other, and they actually heard a lot of Ye Xingyuan's legendary stories. But wouldn't this trick be too dramatic? Taking over the trick he prepared from Ye Xingyuan's hand, Shan Zhixian resisted the urge to open it immediately, and asked in a trembling voice: "Is the virtuous brother sure? Don't be a brother!"
Ye Xingyuan smiled lightly: "Mountain people have their own clever plans, don't worry." Along the way, in addition to worrying about the Liukou, I also have to worry about the Dragon Palace, but Changqing County is as stable as Mount Tai. (To be continued.) )
