As the war approached, the market behind the Chenying King City was once again lively, not because of the market, but because of the execution. The murderer died and the injured person was punished. This is an old folk custom. A few days ago, a famous scholar Chen Ao accidentally killed Lu Renxing after drinking, and the county court sentenced him to abandon the market and not to redeem it. Today is the day of execution, so there are many bystanders.

There were many discussions, but the east side of the intersection was silent. Chen Qi and dozens of honorary scholars in Chen County stood on the East Street. These people were wearing armor and swords, and were as cold as ice under the scorching sun. The common people did not dare to pass by the east side, and the county officials also looked at it. Before the execution was carried out, the county soldiers surrounded the intersection and isolated the honorary scholars.

"Brother, what do you mean by the king?" Among the honorary scholars, there were a few familiar common people, and Chen Sheng was one of them.

"Big King Yan..." Chen Ao's murder this time was inseparable from Chen Qi. Before the bastard came up, the two had a big fight over whether to be a merchant. "...Big King Yan, Yu Shi should not die on the execution ground."

Chen Qi's tone was quiet. Before meeting the king, he thought that he could only redeem death. If he died, he would only be three gold coins, but the murderer would die and he would not be redeemed. The county official also said that Ying could not manage the case of the county court. In other words, the king had no choice because it was a county affairs.

"Take people to criminalize Chen Ao!" Li Xun, the Chen County Defeater, stood at the intersection in some unknown time. He wore a Xie Feng crown that judicial personnel often wore. He seemed to be looking straight, but in fact, Yu Guangquan looked at the Yushi in the east, worried that they would rob the criminals.

"People who commit crimes Chen Ao and killed Chen Xing drunk. For ever since, those who kill people have died, those who hurt others have been punished. The law is not as precious as the rope is not bend. Therefore, the county court sentenced Chen Ao to abandon the city to serve as a warning..." Li Xun had to add a defense before his execution to show the legitimacy of the punishment, but the honorary scholars he was worried that had begun to rob people, the king came.

"My dear, I'm paying homage to the king." The soldiers of the common county knelt around at the intersection, and even Chen Ao, who was ignorantly waiting to die, knelt down.

"No gift." Xiong Jing was riding on the horse without any expression. He stood beside him, Zuo Yinmeng Zhengqin, Xiang Yan, county magistrate Chen Jian, left and right historians, etc. According to convention, Chen County County Affairs has no right to interfere, and even the order Yin is useless here.

"The king's order, the monk Yu is not allowed to die in the execution ground, but when he dies in the battlefield, the old friend who violated Chen Ao is not allowed to die." Xiong Jing did not speak, but the servants took two steps forward and shouted at the king's order to everyone. When they heard the king's order, everyone knelt down again.

But the king's order is the king's order, and there are customs among the people. After the king's order was announced, Li Xun said, "I am reminded that the king: I am foolish and think that the nature of heaven and earth is the most precious. Those who kill people die. This is the common system of the three generations and the same as the hundred kings. I heard that the king is wise, why violate the old customs?"

"Li Sibai wants to discuss the common people or the power?" It's okay for Xiong Jing to stop talking, but the common people who had just raised their heads were lying again as soon as they spoke.

"I am stupid, please let the king make it clear." Li Xun also lowered his head when the king spoke.

"When it comes to the common people, then deal with the matter; when it comes to strength, then it means that both sides fight and if they win, they will bring Chen Ao with them." Xiong Jing looked at Chen Ao who was kneeling motionless, and his ragged clothes made people feel annoying.

"I think we should discuss customs." Fighting with the king is against the superior, and discussing customs is what the prisoners are good at.

"Okay. Since we are talking about customs, then don't ask you, what's the use of killing people three generations ago?" Xiong Jing sneered.

"Three generations ago?" Li Xun couldn't think of it. "I don't know, please tell me."

"Shi Qing, tell him, what's the point of killing people three generations ago?" The Right Shi was taken out by the king as a gun again. He held his eyebrows, looking very reluctant - to the truth, to the truth, to the contrary; to the truth, to the truth, to the contrary.

"Shi Qing, what you said yesterday, why did you forget today?" Xiong Jing looked at the reluctant Right Shi with a smile on his face.

"I have never forgotten. I think..." Last night, the king asked about the predecessors before the founding of the State of Chu, but he did not expect it to save Chen Ao.

"Don't think that yesterday, you will tell Li Sibai and Chen Ying the people. Justice is in the hearts of the people... and you," Xiong Jing looked at a literati who was kneeling to record. This person should be a literati of the Great Chu News, that is, a reporter. He has been following Xiong Jing to Chen. When encountering the robbery of the justice field, he naturally has to write a book. "Remember it and send it to the newspaper without missing a word."

"The villain received the order." The scholar bowed and then wrote quickly.

All officials looked at each other, and even the scholars of the Great Chu News looked at each other. The Right Shi coughed and said, "Before the king's rule, the murderer will not die... This is the Chu people's rule first."

The Right Shi finally said what Xiong Jing wanted, but he deliberately added a "before the royal system" in front of it. Even so, the crowd was sensational and fearful. If the murderer did not die, wouldn't everyone kill people?

"I wonder. I dare to ask His Highness, if the murderer is not dead, will he let him be free?" Li Xun asked loudly, Zuo Yinmeng Zhengqin also wanted to speak, but there was no chance.

"No. The revenge of ten generations can still be avenged, and the descendants of the deceased can avenge their ancestors, and more than ten generations." The Right Shi fell into it as soon as he opened his mouth and had to debate from Xiong Jing's standpoint. "The murderer also pays four sheep or one cow who was killed."

"I would like to tell the king that this is the custom of barbarians, not the custom of the three generations." Meng Zhengqin finally turned around and bowed. "If you use this custom, the strong will inevitably bully the weak and the country will not be the country."

"The Chu State is a barbarian country, so it should practice barbarian customs." Xiong Jing sneered, "The world is the prey of the weak, but today is not the world?"

"King, if you do this custom, you will lose the hearts of the people. A big war is imminent, so it is impossible!" Meng Zhengqin no longer argues about barbarians. He knew that the king was determined to be barbarians, but he had to advise them with the hearts of the people.

"Oh. You know that the war is coming soon?" Xiong Jing smiled. "How can I kill my Yushi?! Yushi should have died on the battlefield, why did he die in the execution ground? The Uncheck couldn't see the hearts of the people, but the Uncheck only looked at the hearts of the soldiers. Uncheck knew very well: if these honorary soldiers were not listed in front of the military formation last year and fought to the death to block the Qin people, what other people would there be? You have already been a subordinate official slave of the Qin people, working until death!

The ancestor Zhuang Wangshi, when Chu State learned from China, his clothes were gorgeous, his poems and essays became more elegant, and his etiquette became more arduous, but his original bloodline was gone. Let me ask, if China's ruling was stronger than our Chu State, why did the countries in the world be destroyed by Chu and Jin, and the Zhou Dynasty was destroyed by the violent Qin?

Why?! Tell the Buying?"

After hearing the words of the king, the emperor was excited, and some people burst into tears, but no one spoke, including Meng Zhengqin. Later generations often thought that in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Chu State destroyed the most countries. In fact, compared with Jin State, Chu State destroyed the fewer countries. Chu and Jin were both major families, Jin was the first and second in Chu. Jin was actually barbarians, but Duke Wen of Jin followed the hegemony of Duke Huan of Qi and began to respect the king and expel the barbarians.

"Survival of the fittest!" Xiong Jing continued, and the historian behind him and the scholars of the Great Chu News wrote a shorthand, but they did not dare to miss a word. "There have been wars for hundreds of years in the world, and now there are only seven countries left. The seven countries can stand today because of their strength, not because of etiquette.

Chen County is under the rule of our Chu State. The first common people in our Chu State were that those who killed people would not die. However, those who were killed could take revenge for ten generations, and the government would never stop them. However, if they could not take revenge for ten generations, it only means that you are a weak person. Since you are a weak person, you must obey the strong. Don’t think that you are a human being, you are just a slave! How can slaves compare with others?

The strong killing is not unpaid. According to the common people, the murderer should pay the murdered one cattle or four sheep. If there is a random killer, it will be angered by the public, and other strong people can be angry and killed. If there is no strong person in our party, township and county, they are all slaves, then you will accept it. If you should be so despised, what are the resentments?”

"The king is wrong!" A clear voice was a blue-shirted scholar who came out of nowhere, followed by several disciples. "I have heard that last year, Qin people slaughtered Yiyi. The king was sad and said, "I am accepting the people's respect, but I do not protect their people, so I have stopped guilty. Those who hear this are called the king benevolence. Today, the king said, "If there are no strong people in our party, our hometown and our county, we are all slaves, and then we will accept it in vain. What's the resentment of you? " I dare to ask the king, why is this different?"

"There are many people who died in Yiyi, and they are not as good as the slaughter of the Qin people, and they are guilty of the slaughter of the Qin people." Xiong Jing rode his horse and then spoke. "However, under the rule of the slander, there are people who dare to fight and not fear death, like honorary soldiers in the army; there are people who are afraid to fight and fear death, like slaves who cannot recover their relatives for ten lifetimes. The former, I will be respected by him and will be sure to protect him, and the latter..."

Some words were too clear, so Xiong Jing didn't speak, but the latter was no longer treated as a human being in the language. The scholar in Lanshan understood this meaning, so he asked: "I dare to ask the king, if the latter does not worship the king, would it be fine?"

"Haha," Xiong Jing suddenly laughed. He choked and pulled out his short sword, Ling Ran said: "If they are not afraid of death, they can't accept the king, pay the land rent, or pay military taxes, but do they dare?"

The short sword is also a huge sword, which is shaking under the sun. When I heard that I drew the sword, except for the scholars standing there, everyone in the audience bowed their heads and bowed. With the Chu system, Xiong Jing, as the king, did not have any reason to interfere in the justice of the county court, but he was the king, he was the conqueror and ruler of this land. He had absolutely arbitrary power and could interfere with everything with the sword, as long as he wanted.

"The king is unkind!" The scholar shook his head in disappointment. In the face of the bright sword, he could only fight back like this.

"Those who practice benevolence and righteousness will destroy the country!" Xiong Jing responded, and he withdrew his sword and returned to his sheath, and then announced loudly: "From today, I will follow the people of Chu in the first place, and the honorary soldiers will not die! Any warriors in the army will not die. However, if there are casual killings, the honorary soldiers can kill them; if there are angry people, they can rise up and attack them. If they are not casually killed, the murdered people will be revenge for ten generations, and the government shall not interfere!"

Although the firm and unquestionable tone is contrary to the law, it is impossible to argue, including Meng Zhengqin.

In a civilized country, the murderer will die, the barbarian country, the murderer will not die; in a civilized country, everyone is equal, and the punishment is without rank, but the barbarian country is the strong who is king and the fittest survives. Based on the barbarian position, all laws and principles have become without foundation, so there is no argument. But if this is the case, is the king still a king? The barbarian kings are mostly killed by the strong, and are not inherited by the eldest son. If there are any evil deeds, they want to be king, what if?
