"I, I haven't had time to go back to Xingyuan Mansion yet!" Gao Yue looked at the flowing clouds in the sky and was surprised by the sudden change in the situation.

And Wei Gao over there was inexplicably excited, directly rolled up his sleeves, and asked Liu Bi: "Where is Li Linggong (Sheng) going?" ”

Liu Pi hurriedly replied that Li Sheng returned to the capital of Shu before us, and now he is thinking about the itinerary and should go to the border of Jianzhou.

"Send the fastest horse to report the news of Li Linggong's Longshan border to Jianzhou."

Liu Bi hurriedly complied, and then Wei Gao asked Gao Yue again, where are the anti-autumn soldiers of your White Grass Army.

Gao Yue thought about it and said that it was time to arrive in Luoyang City in Xingzhou.

Wei Gao raised the whip, thought about it for a while, and said Let your Guo Zaizhen's soldiers and horses stay in Luoyang, and I will serve 12,000 children of the righteous army, and they will also stop in Fengzhou City.

"Waiting for the disposal of the imperial court?" Gao Yue asked.

Wei Gao nodded, and said Of course, now that I know about this, if I am busy with the delivery of government affairs, won't it delay my war!

"What if Your Majesty retreats and is war-weary?" Gao Yue was worried that Emperor Li Shi would repeat.

"In this current situation, either we cross Longshan to fight Xiaofan, or Xiaofan crosses Longshan to fight us, how big the battle will be and how long it will be won, it is not up to the Holy Lord to decide." At this time, Wei Gao was going to send someone to contact Duan Taiwei of Fengxiang Mansion.

Gao Yue thought about it, and then patted Wei Gao's shoulder, "You and I hurry back to Chang'an at this moment to ask for your life, if the imperial court decides to go to war, the Baicao Army of Quanxing Yuan Mansion has 11,000 officials, and Yue Yuan will pull them all out." ”

"Okay, let's continue to fight side by side."

After all, it was the brother who had sworn in front of the tomb of Zhuge Wuhou, and the hands of the two were clasped tightly.

In Huangshui, Shanzhou, many Han people knelt on the ground, and behind them were patches of mulberry fields.

In front of a luxurious tent, the dark-skinned, wolf-like eyes of the Western Tibetan Commander, Shang Jiezan, dressed in a narrow robe, sat on a low bed, and wore a sserpentine ornament on his arm, which was the symbol of the highest power in the Western Tibetan Empire.

And his subordinate warrior "Soma", dressed in light persian leather armor with armor on his cheeks, only his eyes exposed, and a wavy sword in his hand, accompanied his master Shang Jiezan.

To the left of Shang Jiezan, kneeling Han people, who are now the "Wen Mo" and slaves of Western Tibet, and to the right of Shang Jiezan, there are several soldiers of Western Tibet, with bows and arrows in their hands.

In the middle of the Han people and the Western Tibetan soldiers, there was a corpse, which was obviously Han from its clothes, and there was an arrow feather buried deep in its chest.

It turned out that these Xifan soldiers were hunting in the field next to the city, but the arrow hit a Han man who was working, and the Han man died on the spot.

Originally, this case was adjudicated by the local governor of Xifan, the "castle master", because in the eyes of this person, the hundreds of thousands of fallen old Tang people in the Helong area were not even as good as the status of "Yong" (serfs in Xifan), and they were all at the end of the group, so he made a judgment: five soldiers of Xifan compensated the two yaks of the Han people who were killed by arrows.

But it happened that Shang Jiezan came back from inspecting the host, so he rejected the judgment of the lord of Tianshui Castle and sentenced him personally.

Shang Jiezan sat upright and first asked the five Xifan soldiers, "Did you shoot this Han man unintentionally, or did you deliberately take his life out of hatred and contempt?" ”

The five people told each other on the ground, saying that they would not hide their thoughts, and that the shooting of the Han man this time was actually an accident.

The Han people in the same village as the victim next to him were angry and frightened, and only asked the murderer, what justice could there be in this kind of lawsuit?

But Shang Jiezan's expression was serious, and he asked the judge and clerk beside him to move out of the law of the wooden tablets of Xifan, and asked how the five people should be determined if they had no intention of killing people during the hunt.

So the judge carefully told Shang Jiezan that in this case, each of the five Western soldiers would find twelve of the most just wise men or warriors to be their guarantors, and swear to the majesty of the god Zampu.

Shang Jiezan nodded, waved his hand, and soon the five soldiers really found twelve guarantors each, and then faced the palace of the god Zampu to the south, and swore an oath.

Hermes-Epitek was even louder at this time.

Soma, the warrior of the guards, drew his sword, and the discussion was suddenly quieted in fright.

Shang Jiezan got up, pointed to the guarantor found by the soldiers, and said: "You see, we Xifan use tiger skins to glorify warriors, and use sue bodies to glorify wise men, and this group of guarantors is either wearing tiger skins or having bronze and silver guarantors, so their oath is recognized by the god Zampu and has divine effect. According to our law, if there is no intention to injure a person during a hunt, if the victim dies, then it is enough to pay for the life with money. ”

With a bang, the mood of the Hermes-Epitek was obviously rising again.

"Do you think that the law is different from the Tang law that you used to be used to, so it will not be fair!" Shang Jiezan suddenly roared.

The whole scene immediately fell silent again.

Then Shang Jiezan pointed to himself: "Don't talk about you, if I am unintentionally shot to death in the hunt, as long as the shooter can get the oath of twelve noble and just guarantors, then he only needs to compensate the family with 10,000 taels of silver, the same price as the inner great theory, the same price as the deacon of the Zanpu uncle, the same price as the Zhonggong theory, 6,000 taels for the body, 5,000 taels for the gold, 3,000 taels for the silver, 2,000 taels for the brass, 1,000 taels for the red copper, and 300 taels for the warriors of the Jiamen. Fifty taels. Isn't this also a strict and just law? ”

Then Shang Jiezan smiled slyly and said to the Han people who did not dare to answer anything: "You are also the people of the god Zanpu, but if you break the law and give too high compensation to the deceased today, it will cause dissatisfaction among the people who serve the Zampu class with courage or wisdom, but this treatise will treat you as the same as 'Yong', and let these five criminals compensate the deceased fifty taels of silver." ”

Fifty taels of silver, fifty taels of silver.

It is indeed much more generous than the original castle owner's "compensation for two yaks".

In the end, the group of Han people could only drink hatred, hung their hair in a bun in the smoke and dust, and silently accepted Shang Jiezan's judgment.

This is the ruthlessness of this host marshal, "After that, you can just live and work in peace and contentment, and pay a quarter of the 'ox leg tax' to the Tongchou (the head of a thousand households in Xifan) on time with the income from farming, and I will have the warriors of Xibo to protect you from being violated." In addition, you have to adapt to the fact that you can no longer use the Tang calendar, but use my Dafan calendar, and you can no longer follow the Tang law, but use my Dafan law, and you can no longer wear Tang clothes, but should wear my Dafan clothes. As long as you do this, you can talk in Tang dialect and write in Chinese characters, and we will not interfere, and then those who are proficient in skills can also enter my Dafan as an official, and the god Zanpu will use it to give you and so on. After speaking, Shang Jiezan pointed to a complacent man beside him who combed his Western style braids and said: "In fact, he was originally your Han Chinese, named Xu Sheren, and now he is working for Zampu, and he is the think tank next to Zampu. ”

At this moment, the bird envoy from the Sand Castle rushed in front of Shang Jiezan.
