The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 1050 Sinful Bloodline

Tang Hanlin whispered: "Fang Xusheng, you must think twice! Once you use private soldiers to deal with the villagers, you will definitely be criticized for being bloodthirsty and cruel."

Fang Yun said calmly: "If you can save those innocent women and children in prison, if you can make those traffickers afraid, if you can reduce the number of broken families, if you have to give comments, give more and heavier comments!"

Ren Daxueshi, who had been following but never spoke, finally spoke: "Fang Xusheng, you may not have considered a problem. When trafficking must be sentenced to death, then once the traffickers find that they may be caught, I am afraid they will kill people and destroy evidence. Moreover, during the Three Kingdoms period, wars were frequent and people were living in poverty. Severe punishments were used in various places and people were killed like flies. As a result, some people still took risks and killed people and robbed goods. "

Fang Yun said: "Ren Daxueshi used the example of the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, which seems to be reasonable, but he forgot that the reason they took risks was not because they were not afraid of the death penalty, but because they could not survive! Once they can survive, have enough food and clothing, and live in a safe place with their families, they will never take risks, and most people will not kill people and rob goods. Is what I said reasonable?"

"Fang Xusheng is right, Ren is abrupt." Ren Daxueshi agreed.

"As for the fact that human traffickers are worried about the death penalty and destroy evidence, then it can prove one thing, that human traffickers are afraid of death! Even if they are not afraid of death and do not want to die, the death penalty is a deterrent to them! Since there is a deterrent, the death penalty can effectively reduce the occurrence of trafficking!"

"Fang Xusheng looks at the problem from a unique perspective, which makes sense. "Ren Daxueshi not only did not refute, but listened attentively.

"As far as I know, there are two factors to deter criminals. The first is naturally the severity of the punishment. The heavier the punishment, the more deterrent it is. Many legalists believe that when the punishment is severe to a certain extent, whether it is imprisonment for 20 years or direct death penalty, the deterrent effect on people is the same, so for the sake of benevolence, the death penalty can be avoided. But in fact, if all prisoners are imprisoned instead of the death penalty, it will cost more manpower and material resources. Is this true?"

"That's true." said Ren Daxueshi.

Fang Yun said: "Then, it involves the second factor of deterring criminals, the crime clearance rate! Since trafficking is a floating population, it is difficult to find clues after abducting people, so the crime clearance rate is much lower than that of murder. Many human traffickers think they will not be caught, so they are more rampant. To increase the crime clearance rate, more manpower and material resources are needed. Therefore, the legalists believe that instead of using the death penalty to deter, it is better to use the increased crime clearance rate to deter. Am I right?"

Ren Daxueshi nodded, vaguely understanding what Fang Yun was going to say next.

Fang Yun said: "Then, the result is obvious. For the court, it is more feasible to sentence serious criminals to death and then use the manpower and material resources originally used to imprison criminals to improve the rate of solving cases. Therefore, from a practical point of view, the death penalty is the best choice."

"But, killing is ultimately against benevolence. He killed someone, but we sentenced him to death. What's the difference between him and us?"

"Of course there is a difference! If there is no difference between the two types of killing, why is there a concept of self-defense in the law? Why is there a difference between killing and being forced to kill, even though they are both killing? Why is there a difference in the punishment for manslaughter and murder? Why is there a difference between killing one person and killing many people? If a normal person, who would think that punishing criminals is a criminal act? Only murderers and people who think they may kill people will stand from the perspective of criminals, right? If there is no difference, criminals should not be punished after hurting others, because this is also hurting criminals!"

Ren Daxueshi was speechless.

"So, all the human traffickers here should be killed!" Fang Yun looked at the villagers of Changxi Village.

Many people in Changxi Village had fierce looks in their eyes.

"What did you say? Say it again. A child who hasn't even grown all his hair yet, who wrote a few crappy poems, dares to come to our Changxi Village and act wildly. Do you think there is no one in our Changxi Village?" A middle-aged fierce woman holding a kitchen knife glared at Fang Yun, not caring about Fang Yun's identity.

"Who is the human trafficker? Why didn't I see it? If you dare to slander us again, thousands of us will go to the capital to file a complaint! If the capital doesn't care, we will go to the Holy Court to file a complaint! False Saint? Wait until you become a true saint before coming!"

"Don't you even look at where this is!"

"The scholars in the village say how powerful you are. Haha, no matter how powerful you are, dare you kill us, the people of Jingguo? What can a county magistrate do to us?"

Among the villagers of Changxi, the more illiterate people were, the more fierce they shouted. The more they looked at those who had read many books, the less they dared to speak, and only stood at the end of the crowd. Those scholars looked gloomy, as if they knew that they could not persuade the villagers, so they could only watch.

When those people were done cursing, the village chief Diao Zhili snorted and stretched out his arm, and everyone stopped.

Diao Zhili said: "County Magistrate Fang, you have seen that we are all good people in Changxi Village. We may have made a little mistake because of the pressure of life, but this is a place where no one cares. The county magistrates of all generations have turned a blind eye to it. As for those county magistrates who don't want to close their eyes, they have to close their eyes in the end! We Changxi villagers have always been well-educated and reasonable, so if County Magistrate Fang returns the same way, we will pretend that what happened today has never happened. If you continue to force it, it will be spread in a few days that you have forced the people to death. Fellow villagers, don't you think so?"

"Yes!" Nearly a thousand people shouted in unison, the sound was deafening.

There were even some children screaming excitedly, their eyes were extremely clear, and they didn't know what was good or what was evil.

Fang Yun's emotions did not fluctuate at all, and his eyes were always cold.

"It's a pity that I like to keep both eyes open, and I want to see the world clearly!" Fang Yun said.

"It seems that Magistrate Fang is going to kill all of us in Changxi Village!" Diao Zhili said.

Fang Yun ignored Diao Zhili, glanced at everyone, and asked: "There should be scholars in the village, and there should be children. How do you read the saint's books? Aren't you afraid that the Wen Palace will be broken? Aren't you afraid that the road to the holy way will be cut off!"

Fang Yun always uses his tongue to spread the spring thunder, and his voice is full of supreme majesty, like a thunder emperor, with equal emphasis on kindness and power.

A student responded hurriedly: "Fang Xusheng Mingjian, the students have been persuading the villagers, but it is a pity that the students are so soft-spoken..."

"Shut up!" Village Chief Diao shouted, scaring the boy so much that he had to shut up.

Fang Yun looked at the crowd and said, "Is no one surrendering?"

Nearly a thousand villagers looked at Fang Yun with various expressions, but no one dared to speak and surrender.

"Then, who dares to admit killing the two guards and Wang Xiaocui?" Fang Yun asked again.

No one answered.

"So..." Fang Yun pointed to the underground and said, "Who knows how many innocent people are kidnapped in Changxi Village every year?"

Still no one answered.

"So, how many kind people are killed in Changxi Village every year?"

Some villagers looked ashamed.

The private soldiers behind Fang Yun breathed thickly because of their anger, and the emotions of some demon iron knights even experienced great ups and downs, causing their armors to ring softly and merge into one.

"Yes, coming to Changxi Village has given me some insight. I didn't expect that a kind place under the rule of a saint would be inhabited by a group of beasts that look like humans." Fang Yun's voice became a little more sinister.

"You fart!" one person yelled, and then everyone yelled.

Fang Yun pointed at the people in the village and spoke loudly, overwhelming the whole village.

"You dare to kill an unarmed woman, and this county is standing here. Do you dare to come and kill this county? You don't dare! Every one of you in Changxi Village is a beast inferior to a pig or a dog! They are all trash who bully the weak and fear the strong! Holy The Yuan Continent is full of vitality, and as long as you work a little bit, you will have enough food and clothing, but what about you? Apart from making money by killing people, what else have you done? You are the most incompetent scum, worse than maggots!"

The people in Changxi Village wanted to refute, but Fang Yun didn't give them any chance and continued to use his tongue to make spring thunder.

"The people in the Two Boundary Mountains are defending with their lives, the people in Zhenyuhai are killing demons with their blood, and the warriors in the north are fighting with all their lives to kill the barbarians. We can risk our lives for the sake of the human race, but what are you beasts doing? Kill us The peace you bought with your blood and lives is used to harm the human race! You are not worthy of being human!"

"That's enough for one person, that's enough for a group of people, but now the whole village is helping the evil tyrants and hiding evil, so there is no need for this village to exist! The evil here will definitely end! The blood of evil will not continue! "

"The last order from this county is to give you a hundred breaths of time to put down your weapons, kneel on the ground, and be captured! If not, you will be killed on the spot for colluding with the demons and barbarians to harm the human race!"

Village Chief Diao's beard and hair grew wild, and he shouted loudly: "How dare you! Even if we ask you to kill him now, you don't dare to kill him!"

The villagers of Changxi cursed together, but many people showed fear in their eyes, because Fang Yun was too determined and was fundamentally different from those incompetent county officials.

"Form up!" Fang Yun gave the order, and two thousand demon iron cavalry and hundreds of demon barbarian private soldiers slowly moved forward and formed a charging formation.

Four Niu Manhou, more than one foot tall, stood at the front, looking down at the villagers like four little giants.

"Bang..." The sound of weapons falling to the ground sounded.

"Pick it up! This is Changxi Village, not a place where the county magistrate can run wild! If anyone dares to betray the village at this time, I will let him taste the power of Diao's water prison!" Village Chief Diao said sternly.

Many villagers' expressions changed and they clenched their weapons.

Regardless of age, whether male or female, everyone was frightened by the Diao family's water prison.

Village Chief Diao stared at Fang Yun like a hungry wolf and continued to shout: "Don't be afraid! Why haven't I seen this before? He is just a young boy. If he dares to touch our village, his future will be over!" Diao The village chief loudly encouraged the villagers.

Many villagers nodded vigorously and even agreed with Village Chief Diao. Many young men's eyes were shining with bloodthirsty light. Almost all of them had killed people, abused abducted women, and some of them had even been robbers.

"It's a pity that you still don't understand that I am not a bureaucrat." Fang Yun whispered, whether to himself or to the officials behind him.

Fang Yun said, slowly raising his right arm.

"Time is up."

The Changxi villagers finally became truly frightened, but they still held on.

"Ritual will not be stopped by a thousand people! Law will not be abolished by a village! Punish!"

Fang Yun's raised arm fell down.

The demon private soldiers and the demon iron cavalry charge like tigers down the mountain.

"Don't kill the village chief. Wait until he has experienced the taste of Diao's water prison before you kill him!"

During the process of Fang Yun's speech, the sound of trampling horses' hooves, the sound of broken bones, the sound of cutting weapons, the sound of cracking cloth, the sounds of villagers begging for mercy and scolding, etc. seemed to form a majestic war song, impassioned, Sonorous and powerful!

"Three thousand soldiers obeyed the order, and half of the soldiers from each team entered Changxi Village to conduct searches and rescue the imprisoned people. The rest continued. Once any escapees are found, they will be killed without mercy!"

The blood-stained night.
