After the villain was defeated, she still had power in the government

"The buyer bought the child home, gave the child a stable life, and saved the child from wandering. This is a good deed, shouldn't the punishment be lenient? Lord Fu, you treat the buyer and seller as the same crime and punish them all severely. This is too harsh and cruel."

Fu Yutang smiled and said, "Since Lord Lu is so kind, I will give you a chance. As long as you redeem the kidnappers, well, I don't ask you to exchange one life for another, just exchange one kidnapper for every fifty sticks you receive, okay? For the sake of serving in the same court, your wife, daughter, brothers, and colleagues can also redeem the kidnappers. I wonder how many kidnappers Lord Lu and the others are willing to save?"

Lv Zhengyun: “……?”

Qiao Si and others: “……???”

After thinking about it, Fu Yutang seemed to think that this was too much trouble. Without waiting for their answer, he said, "Forget it. After the court session, I will have the yamen runners bring the kidnappers from the prison to visit each of your houses one by one. After each of you has been beaten with fifty sticks, the yamen runners will release you on the spot."

Knowing that Fu Yutang was capable of doing such a ridiculous thing, Lu Zhengyun panicked and stammered, "Those kidnappers have no relationship with me, why do they want me to atone for their sins?"

"Don't you think I'm cruel? Do you think the law is too harsh?"

Fu Yutang looked at him expressionlessly and said seriously, "So, I specially relaxed the law to give you a chance to show your love. After all, Lord Lu is a gentleman who is kind and polite."

After being confronted by Fu Yutang, Lu Zhengyun was choked and didn't know how to respond.

Fu Yutang didn't care about this little shrimp. He sneered and turned to look at Qiao Si and others and asked, "What about you? How many people do you plan to save?"

Qiao Si looked grim for a moment, and said, "Master Fu, please stop joking. If Master Fu really wants to release them, just do it directly. Why bother to tease us like this?"

"You are wrong. You are the ones who want to let the kidnapper go, not me." Fu Yutang looked at him and said word by word, "As a person who is cruel by nature and indifferent to life, I have never thought of letting a kidnapper go."

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhengyun felt that he was fine again, and immediately shouted: "Okay, so you don't want to let him go, then aren't you just teasing us by saying this? I knew you were a heartless person, you..."

"You have some humanity, why don't you bear the punishment for the kidnapper?" Fu Yutang asked back.

"I..." Lu Zhengyun paused and argued, "They are all innocent. If they are innocent, why should they be punished? Why should I suffer for them?"

"Not guilty?" Fu Yutang was so angry that he laughed. The anger that he had suppressed before suddenly burst out at this moment. He swung his arm and slapped him in the face without any unnecessary movements.

"Clap clap! clap clap!"

The slaps came so fast and hard that Lu Zhengyun had no time to react and stumbled to the ground.

Fu Yutang did not let him go, he raised his foot and kicked him to Qiao Si's feet, looking at his panicked face, he walked closer step by step, and said with a cold face: "Studying is not only about learning knowledge, but also about cultivating moral character, you must have one of the two.

You, on the other hand, have nothing.

A thing that only grows in height but not in brains!

You always call yourself a gentleman, but why don't you take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror, how can you be called a gentleman?

As for the Ren you mentioned...

The sage said: "Only the benevolent can love good people and hate bad people."

Only a benevolent person can correctly like or dislike someone.
