Pawn Crossing the River

Chapter 25 Great Mysterious Law

This situation was not only expected by Qi Xuansu, but also not expected by Qi Xuansu.

It was not expected because Qi Xuansu did not guess that Tianchensi would end directly. Even before that, he had only heard of Tianchensi's name and lacked a more intuitive impression of it. He also said that it was expected because Qi Xuansu probably guessed the plot of killing someone with a borrowed knife.

Therefore, Qi Xuansu was quite expecting this situation and was not too panicked.

Since the conflict between Tianchensi and Daomen, although they have not suffered a loss openly, they have also learned that Daomen is not someone they can provoke, at least not openly. Taoist priests have a strange mentality. It's okay for them to fight among themselves, but if they are bullied by outsiders, they will unite with the outside world as long as they add fuel to the flames. To put it bluntly, Taoist priests have always spoken and acted from their own standpoint. That is to say, you can target a certain Taoist priest, but you cannot challenge the entire Taoist priest class.

Last time Tianchensi killed a Daoist master, should that Daoist disciple deserve to die? In fact, Tianchen Division intends to establish its authority, which probably means that we, Tianchen Division, have the final say in the inner city and the imperial city, and even the Dao Sect is no exception. This is not directed at the Dao Sect Master, but at the Dao Sect. The Taoist priests of the Taoist sect are not blind or stupid, so naturally they are very angry.

Who is a mere Tianchen Division? He dares to climb on top of us?

His Majesty the Emperor chose to protect Tianchensi not intentionally to slap the Taoists in the face, but for the purpose of maintaining order, at least to preserve the deterrence of Tianchensi. In addition, His Majesty the Emperor is also a member of the Taoist class, so in the end the Taoist sect did not delve too deeply into the obvious aspect.

But not pursuing the case openly does not mean that there is no investigation secretly, so all the members of the Tianchen Division involved were suddenly killed. Dao Sect really wants them to die silently and no one can find out, so it is not difficult. But that goes against the original intention of Daomen. Is Daomen meant to kill people? In order to establish authority, the Taoist sect must let others know, so this is why he committed suicide by being shot eight times in a row with "Dragon Eye Jiajiu" behind his back.

Everyone can see that this is not suicide, and everyone knows why they died, so that they can serve as a warning to the monkeys.

This is the unspoken saying of Taoist priests. We are not ordinary people who are defenseless and can only accept the situation. We want justice. If you don't give it, we will take it ourselves.

Even if you are as noble as the emperor, you can't say anything more - Taoism has already taken a step back, and His Majesty the Emperor must also take a step back. The emperor could be superior to a certain Taoist priest, but he could not be superior to the entire Taoist priest class.

In fact, the Taoist sect is relatively rule-abiding. In the era when the Confucian sect was in power, it was commonplace for several palaces to be burned down, a prince to die, or even the emperor to fall into the water and die. The Confucian sect, which claims to be loyal to the emperor all day long, actually pays no attention to the emperor and kills the emperor the most. It roughly corresponds to the sentence: "I, I, I, I am the dog's feet."

After this incident, the effect of the Taoist sect killing chickens to scare the monkeys was immediate. Tianchensi restrained himself a lot and did not dare to rashly shout and kill people in the Taoist sect without substantial evidence. Under normal circumstances, even if there is substantial evidence, most people will ask the emperor for instructions first, rather than rashly using the power of "kill first and report later".

Because of this, although today is not an ordinary situation, it is clear that His Majesty the Emperor will not be asked for instructions, and these seven people have already formed a vague encirclement, but they still do not take action immediately. At least there must be a superficial appearance, and it is best if Qi Xuansu resists, so that they can Just take action.

Qi Xuansu looked at the man in white: "Who is your Excellency?"

The man in white did not answer, but pointed to the gun in Qi Xuansu's hand: "Anyone who secretly hides firearms in the Imperial City will be punished by death! Anyone who kills people indiscriminately in the Imperial City will be punished by death!"

He paused for a moment and then said: "Even if the person you killed is innocent, it is not the reason for you to take over your place. The Imperial City does not pay attention to chivalry and justice."

These few words can be said to be very powerful and preemptive. Ordinary people will inevitably be shocked and feel guilty.

Qi Xuansu was not surprised but smiled instead: "It's not strange for the Taoist sect to talk about the law. It's not strange for the Sanfa Division to talk about the law. It's just that you eagles and dogs talk about the law, which makes me want to laugh. One mouthful is a death penalty, how can you learn from "Da Xuan" How about I find the corresponding relevant provisions in the Law and kill myself on the spot? If there are no corresponding relevant provisions, how about you cut out your tongue?”

The man in white looked gloomy and said nothing.

Qi Xuansu continued: "The "Da Xuan Law" contains a clear text: All civilian private owners such as vests, side cards, fire tubes, muskets, artillery, flags, trumpets and other weapons should be prohibited from wearing weapons. Add one level to those who make private works. Each crime will be punished by a hundred sticks. If the land is not perfect and cannot be used, it will not be ignored. The bow, arrow, spear, knife, and crossbow will be ordered to be sent to the official. Harpoons and harpoons are not prohibited."

"First, carrying firearms is not a capital offense. Second, this law only applies to private individuals, and Taoist sects are not included in this. When officials and Taoist priests go on business, go to work, return home, and merchants go abroad for trade, etc., if they carry weapons for protection during the journey, they will be protected in Beijing Collect the stamps of the Ministry of War and the official stamps of the dispatching yamen and the local government when you are outside, and indicate the number of items you bring for inspection along the way out of the city. Also inform the club to go to the place and pay them within a time limit. If you conceal the original stamps and fail to pay them, you will be in violation of the order. Law punishes crime.”

While speaking, Qi Xuansu took out a Ministry of War stamp from the sumeru object, held it between his index and middle fingers, and shook it gently - of course Qi Xuansu did not do this personally, someone from below would have gone to the Ministry of War to inform him, The Ministry of War will not stick to the Kadijing Daofu's neck on this kind of matter. It is all routine and will even take the initiative to send people to send stamps, usually within three years.

Ordinary people don't understand the law. When these men in white open their mouths and are frightened, they become confused. If they take risks, it just gives these men in white a reason to take action.

However, after Qi Xuansu learned from Xu Kou that he was coming to the imperial capital to serve as a Taoist priest, he carefully read the "Da Xuan Law" in the Gen Garden of the Shang Palace. After he entered the realm of training, his memory was far better than that of ordinary people. At this time, he naturally believed Come by mouth.

If he were not proficient in "Da Xuan Law", Qi Xuansu would not have thought of using "the same Taoist priest background" to take advantage of the loopholes.

In fact, Qi Xuansu didn't care much about these provisions in his heart, but on the surface, he must respect and care about them and hold them above the sacred and inviolable throne. Just like the saying "Princes who break the law are guilty of the same crime as the common people", no one will take it seriously. Can they really be guilty of the same crime? If he takes it seriously and goes to the palace to arrest criminals, he may lose his official title, but no one will deny this statement openly.

Qi Xuansu said aggressively: "You have such a loud tone. Opening your mouth is a capital offense. The "Da Xuan Law" is not your family's family law. You can change it at any time. Who gave you the power to modify the provisions of the "Da Xuan Law"?! "

This man in white originally wanted to take the lead and show his face, but he unexpectedly exposed his butt. They were used to running rampant in the imperial capital and were so arrogant that there was no need to talk about laws, and no one read the "Da Xuan Law". At this time, Qi Xuansu was After hearing the words, he was speechless.

At this moment, another man in white said: "The Holy One has given us the right to 'kill first and report later'! With the imperial power, we only know how to kill people and don't care about anything else."

Qi Xuansu stared at him: "Well said. Even if you have the right to kill first and report later, there must be a basis, right? There must be an explanation for why you should die, right? You can't just kill whoever you want, right? Did you kill the prince today? Killing Mr. Ge tomorrow is also authorized by the imperial authority. What criteria do you use to determine whether you should kill him first and then report him?"

The man in white was also stuck there, speechless.

Qi Xuansu said: "In my opinion, the right to behead first and then report is because Master Ziji has granted you the right to conduct on-site trials, that is, conviction and execution are combined into one. However, the conviction cannot be based on one's own temper, it must be based on evidence."

The third person in white is a woman, and she doesn't show any weakness: "The basis may not be the "Da Xuan Law"!"

Qi Xuansu smiled and said: "As an official of the Daxuan court, you receive Daxuan's salary and serve the emperor of Daxuan. You are still in the capital of Daxuan. If you don't act in accordance with the "Daxuan Law", then what do you act in accordance with? Is it the family law of your Tianchen Division? When will the family law be superior to the national law? "

The woman in white's face turned red and she couldn't argue. If you are making excuses and acting rogue, of course you can say whatever you want, but in the officialdom of the imperial court, talking nonsense can easily lead to disaster, and the principle that disaster comes from words will never go out of style.

The fourth man in white looks the oldest and has more experience. He said: "The Da Xuan Law was also made by humans. His Majesty the Emperor's edicts are always higher than the Da Xuan Law."

Qi Xuansu did not deny it, nor did he argue about the big issue between the emperor and the law. He just said: "Then if you look at Zizhi Zhenren's handwriting, you can't say that if there is an edict, there will be an edict, right? When it comes to the law , the foundation of a country, there is no reason to use oral instructions.”

The man in white was asked again, where could they get the handwriting?

Qi Xuansu's eyes were bright: "That means there is nothing left. If you talk nonsense and open your mouth, why are you worthy of talking about the death penalty? If you can't, how can you be convicted? I think you have violated the "Da Xuan Law", so you should stop showing off and go back. Reading the Da Xuan Lv in its entirety is the right thing to do.”

The six men in white were all silent. They wanted to use the two capital crimes to force Qi Xuansu to do something easier. It would be better to force Qi Xuansu to jump over the wall, and then they could let go and catch the cat. Mouse, in the end, Qi Xuansu put the hat on their heads with a backhand, and naturally they couldn't say the rest of the words.

As for the killing, Qi Xuansu hasn't fired yet, so it doesn't count. Look at this posture, even if they hold on tightly, they will definitely get slapped in the face.

Qi Xuansu sarcastically said: "To put it bluntly, you have become a prostitute and want to build an archway. If you want to kill people, just come and kill them. If you want to kill openly and justly, what is the difference between this and the prostitutes who set up archways?" ?”
