I built the Salvation Organization

Chapter 325
He knelt down on the ground directly, and said in a crying voice: "His Royal Highness, if the two of them just want to steal something, for the sake of the same village, the villain will bear it, but they intend to treat the villain The madam is unruly, the villain was angry for a while, and then he accidentally killed someone."

In the laws of the Tang Dynasty, there is no such thing as justifiable defense.

Under normal circumstances, one will be sentenced to one charge of death by armed combat.

However, at that time, Cheng Goudan already had an official body. Although he was only the lowest ninth-class craftsman official, the meaning was completely different.

So killing those two people was not a serious crime at all.

Today's Datang, not only did not move towards the path of equality for everyone, but the hierarchy was more detailed, and the level of transition was made according to ability and contribution. This Cheng Goudan made his fortune as a carpenter by relying on his flexible craftsmanship. Tang's emerging aristocrats.

But Cheng Goudan's words left all the students stunned.

The student who spoke out first looked around, and happened to see a villager whom he had just questioned, striding up.

"Is what he said true?"

"Then, what happened that night, only he knows." The person being questioned panicked, and finally pointed at Cheng Goudan sharply, "It's he who lied. It's pleasing to the eye, it must be an opportunity to kill."

"Shut up!" The student yelled, looking at the troublemaker in front of him, he couldn't say a word.

Whether it is to take the opportunity to kill, or to miss it.

It is true that the two sneaked into the house of a craftsman first.

For this alone, killing someone is not a serious crime.

This student already knew that his assessment was over, and that he was a student of the Immortal Ci Academy, who was still an outstanding student, and he would be wantonly induced by some unscrupulous people.

There were other charges, though.

Some of the students who were standing with him just now asked aloud:

"Then what happened to you forcibly robbing the civilian girl?"

"Master Mingjian, Cui Niang and I are in love, but her father is addicted to gambling and wants to sell Cui Niang. The villain gave Cui Niang five taels of silver to bring Cui Niang back. How do you know that after he lost the silver, He is greedy and asks for money many times, but the villain naturally refuses."

"Say you abduct children."

"That's Cuiniang's younger brother. If the villain doesn't snatch it, I'm afraid he will be sold as well."

There is no need to ask anymore.

There are reasons for several serious crimes, and the rest of the crimes, such as occupying fields, even if they are true, are not guilty of death.

not to mention.

By now, the situation has become clear at a glance.

No one thought that there would be a time when a group of villagers slandered a person together.

"Troublemaker! Really troublemaker!" A student shouted angrily, obviously a little bit annoyed.

"My lord, I am wronged, my lord." The villagers knelt down in panic one by one, and some even cried out loudly, "Everything I said is true, this time the dog even forcibly robbed my family's fields to build roads, Relying on the rampant and domineering of those invited servants, there are stick wounds on the adults and villains at every turn!"

"You, you stole the chicken from Aunt Eight's house, shouldn't you beat it." Na Cheng Goudan was also very angry.

"Nonsense, which eye did you see?"

"That's right, I was beaten too."

"Even if it is true, what qualifications do you have to teach me!"

"."

A group of people quarreled directly in front of many students, spitting everywhere, and all kinds of unexpected swear words kept pouring out. When did some students see such a battle, Li Lizhi even hid beside Wu Zhao, with a small face Her eyes were pale, and her big eye sockets were about to shed tears.

Wu Zhao didn't change his expression at first, but seeing Li Lizhi's expression, he also sighed.

"Shut up!" She raised her eyebrows coldly, her voice was cold, and she was quite powerful.

Everyone's noise suddenly stopped.

Whether it was the villagers or Cheng Goudan, they all knelt on the ground, trembling.

This is Princess Ming.

Princess Ming who was protected by the fairy king.

Princess Ming's reputation among the people is better than that of the crown prince. After all, she is protected by the immortal. In today's Tang Dynasty, no family has a tablet dedicated to the immortal.

"The first thing that happened here is your fault." Wu Zhao looked at Cheng Goudan and said directly, "After you became rich, although you had no intention of harming others and intended to repay your hometown, it aroused public anger instead. To solve it, you should be ordered to leave this village, and then send an official here to give both kindness and majesty to educate the people, and within five years, the people's grievances can be quelled."

The method Wu Zhao gave was simple and rude.

Let this person leave Lujia Village, so that the villagers have no object of envy and resentment, and then send officials to educate them.

This approach is practical.

However, the Master frowned after listening.

"Princess Ming thinks Cheng Jiang is the first to blame?"

"indeed so."

"But what's wrong with Cheng Jiang?" The master was even more puzzled, "Since Cheng Cheng passed the examination three years ago and got the official status, he has devoted himself to the village, first to build roads for the village, and then to educate the village and mediate conflicts. Everything you do is for good."

"That's right." The rest of the students also said the same thing, "It's clear that it's the troublemaker here, who slanders and slanders instead of being grateful."

"If you change to a place with simple folk customs, Cheng Jiang can be a good official in the village."

"In any case, it shouldn't be Cheng Jiang's fault."

"Princess Ming's wisdom is beyond my reach, but I really don't understand this matter."

"."

These words made the villagers turn pale and tremble, but they didn't dare to say anything.

Wait until everyone has finished speaking.

Wu Zhao said unhurriedly:

"When it comes to the law and morality, he is indeed right, but the incident started because of him, and the result is resentment among the people and the emergence of ghosts. How can it be said that there is nothing wrong with this matter."

In a word, many people frowned.

There seems to be some truth to the truth.

But many people still can't accept it.

"Princess Ming's words, don't you only look at the beginning and the end, not the process." The master said with some caution.

"It's his fault even if you look at the process." Wu Zhao said very calmly.

"Princess Ming probably doesn't know that Cheng Jiang's actions are also a combination of kindness and power, which is the law of governing the people. It's just that the villagers here are jealous, so this happened." The master continued.

It's not that Cheng Goudan didn't think of a way after he found out that he was hated by others.

He began to mediate the conflict in the village, that is, someone was pointing from behind.

However, if this method is replaced by a foreign official, it may be useful.

But when he came to do it, it backfired.

It's just because this carpenter's family was despised by the villagers before it became prosperous.

But now, this "mere lowly carpenter" was ranked in front of everyone, became an official, and made a fortune.

Naturally envied.

"His fault lies in the fact that since it is impossible, or even counterproductive, why should he bother." Wu Zhao said seriously, "He should just throw up his sleeves and leave."
