The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 984 There are still feelings

A strange aura came out of Ji Zhibai's body, containing the idea of ​​​​being inclusive of all the miscellaneous families, protecting Ji Zhibai's Wen Gong and Wen Dan.

However, Ji Zhibai's literary courage was still shaky, as thin as celadon, and might break at any time.

Yu Bachi looked at Ji Zhibai with pleasure. The fight for the holy way was dangerous, but there was also great danger in arguing about politics among scholars in person. Although Fang Yun's words seemed a little out of line, it was only half a step out of line. Not only was it not It violates benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom, trust, loyalty and courage, but it is incomparable.

Yu Bachi looked at Fang Yun again, admiration welling up in his heart. Fang Yun's previous rhetoric was not shocking if you look at it carefully, but it had a great power that made people convinced. At the same time, it did not completely subvert the "kiss and affection" The inherent concept of "hiding" starts from etiquette and ends with law, creating the concept of etiquette and law.

"This scene is probably about Ji Zhibai holding up a broken shield of the old-fashioned way, while Fang Xusheng is holding an unrivaled sharp sword of innovation. He cuts down with one sword, and nothing can stop him." Yu Bachi thought in his heart.

Fang Yun ignored Ji Zhibai and looked at the palace manager, then at the people outside the door.

The officials and common people outside the hall only felt that the power of God was in front of them, and instinctively lowered their heads to listen to the holy teachings.

"Rituals are the rituals of the country first, and then the rules of the human race. They are for the ethnic group, the political system, and everyone. Killing your wife and your children is like a monster or a barbarian. It is not allowed by nature. You are not worthy of being a human being. How can you use rituals to judge!"

Ji Zhibai's chest rose and fell, and countless words appeared in his mind. After all, he did not dare to object anymore, because once Fang Yun counterattacked, the strength of the Zajia family that he had cultivated for many years would never be able to protect him, whether it was with the Chao Qin Muchu of the strategist or the military strategist. Soldiers never tire of deceit, and neither Confucian tactics nor alliances under the city will be effective.

The power of a Jinshi is limited to begin with, not to mention that in front of him is a Tongsheng, a scholar, a scholar, and a Jinshi. He is a real virtual saint!

Fang Yun looked at the manager of the palace, slapped the hall in shock, and said: "People in this hall, what else can you say?"

The shopkeeper of the palace had been completely defeated by Fang Yun. He kept kowtowing like a chicken pecking rice, and at the same time begged for mercy: "I made a mistake, please forgive my life! I made a mistake, please forgive my life..."

Fang Yun said: "Since you have pleaded guilty, I can pronounce the sentence."

Ji Zhibai hesitated for a moment and couldn't refute, but that didn't mean he couldn't plead for mercy, so he sighed softly and said: "What County Magistrate Fang said is absolutely true. The shopkeeper of the palace did make a big mistake, but it is not a crime that will lead to death. The reason why the human race More intelligent and faster than demons and barbarians, It is because we have a benevolent heart that we can forgive others' mistakes. If you have seen the executioner killing people on the execution ground, you will definitely know how cruel it is, so please be merciful and don't do such cruel things."

Fang Yun looked at Ji Zhibai, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with undisguised indifference, "If you saw the tragic death of the palace manager's innocent wife and children, if you saw the blood-stained house, you wouldn't say Such cruel words! The kindness you give to the murderer is the evil that stabs the dead!"

Ji Zhibai's body trembled, and he felt a pain in the middle of his eyebrows. He thought to himself that it was lucky that he was begging for mercy. If he refuted, Wen Dan might have problems.

"Your Excellency is wise!" Tao Dingnian, the county magistrate, suddenly bowed deeply to Fang Yun. At this point, he was convinced.

"Your Excellency is wise!" Many officials, no matter young or old, whether they had been a leftist prime minister or not, all expressed their admiration.

Ji Zhibai gritted his teeth and stared at Fang Yun. He didn't expect that he, the top scholar in the country, would be refuted speechless by Fang Yun. What made people most angry was not the reaction of others, but that he almost even came close. Be convinced!

The kindness you give to the murderer is the evil that stabs the dead!

Ji Zhibai didn't even dare to open his mouth, because he knew that if he even had the slightest intention to refute at this moment, his courage might collapse.

However, Ji Zhibai was not willing to admit defeat. He turned to look at the relatives and friends of Shopkeeper Gong and winked.

Those people hesitated for a moment and knelt down one after another.

"Please ask Fang Xusheng to lightly sentence the shopkeeper of the palace. He has an excellent reputation among the customers of the grain shop and is never short of money!"

"I want to testify! Although Brother Gong beats his wife and children, he usually provides good food and drink, so he doesn't lack anything."

"Yes, a few days ago I heard from my third brother that he wanted to buy some gold and silver jewelry for my sister-in-law."

"My cousin said that he thought his third uncle was pretty good, and he didn't blame his third uncle for beating him!"

"Yes, my sister-in-law was nagging me a few days ago, saying that although the third child has a bad temper, he is not a bad person."

"They can testify, and so can we..."

After the relatives and friends of the palace manager finished speaking, Ji Zhibai took a step forward, cupped his hands and said: "What County Magistrate Fang said is absolutely true. Zhibai has learned a lesson. But a couple's kindness can last a hundred days, because they have been married for many years and have raised a lot of children." After many years, my son still has feelings in his heart, and I hope that the county magistrate will exempt the shopkeeper from the death penalty and spare his life to show your benevolence. "

Fang Yun thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "What Mr. Ji said is reasonable. A husband and wife are kind to each other for a hundred days. He still has feelings for his wife and children. This needs to be taken into consideration when sentencing."

Ji Zhibai was overjoyed and said: "County Magistrate Fang is wise!" After saying this, he didn't feel there was anything wrong with his words.

The palace family members thanked Fang Yun one after another.

However, Gong Liu's family looked at Fang Yun in disbelief.

Some officials sighed softly, not knowing what to say.

Ao Huang was suspended beside Fang Yun, very surprised.

"Hey?" A small voice came from the side door, and the little fox was seen sitting on the threshold of the side door, his eyes full of doubts.

"Thank you, Grandpa Xusheng! Thank you, Grandpa Xusheng..." Shopkeeper Gong was so moved that he burst into tears.

Fang Yun asked: "Master Gong, do you really still have feelings for your wife and children?"

"Yes! The conscience of heaven and earth really does exist! I really regard them as my relatives!" Shopkeeper Gong cried.

Fang Yun nodded and said: "The official officially pronounced the verdict. Gong Wu, the shopkeeper of the Kaiyuan Grain Shop, repeatedly beat his wife and children to vent his anger, and finally beat his wife and children to death today. It's too hard to write down, and it's hard to count, and it's worse than animals. According to the law, This beast should be killed, but..."

Fang Yun suddenly stopped and looked around.

A flash of uncontrollable joy flashed in Shopkeeper Gong's eyes, the corners of Ji Zhibai's mouth raised slightly, and the Gong family let out a long sigh of relief.

Gong Liu's family was extremely sad. The child's classmates gritted their teeth, clenched their fists, and had tears in their eyes.

Fang Yun continued: "But! This person obviously has feelings for his wife and son, but he still can be so vicious. Wouldn't it be even more heartless to treat other people who have no feelings? He can even kill his closest relatives and loved ones. Who in the world can do it?" This person cannot be killed? Once this person is alive, he will be a huge harm to everyone! I have sentenced Gong Wu to three levels of punishment for killing his relatives!"

"You..." Ji Zhibai pointed at Fang Yun, feeling dizzy and shaking violently.

Shopkeeper Gong looked at Fang Yun blankly, unable to believe the result. If it was the death penalty, it might just be hanging or beheading, which would not cause much pain. However, Ling Chi cut off the flesh of the person piece by piece. The most successful Ling Chi had to cut 3,600 times and kill the prisoner with the last cut.

Among the people, Ling Chi is commonly known as being cut to pieces by a thousand cuts, which is one of the most extreme punishments in the human race.

Gong Liu's relatives and friends knelt down in tears.

"Thank you Fang Qingtian, my second sister's spirit in heaven must be kowtowing to you!"

"Thank you Fang Xusheng! The beast Gong Wu has died a long time ago! If you don't sentence him to death, I will avenge my second sister's blood relatives and kill this beast!"

"Second sister, have you seen it? Fang Xusheng helped you take revenge!"

"Okay!" Everyone outside the door cheered.
