504. Chapter 504
When he came to the county office, Guan Yu had been quietly watching the trial of the county order, and he didn't mean to interject at all.
He didn't expect that Guan Zhong's new law would be so detailed, nor did he expect Guan Wu's sentence to be like this. Seeing that Guan Wu seemed to be about to make a choice, he naturally couldn't sit still.
"Ah Wu and slow to choose!" Guan Yu took a step forward and said in a deep voice, "You have to think clearly, even if you have the hope of clearing your name when you join the army, it is more likely that you will die on the battlefield." β
"You must know that according to the new law of Guanzhong, even if you fight bravely on the battlefield, you will have to be beheaded at least fifteen levels before you can get rid of the crime."
"A certain person who has been on the battlefield for a long time and knows that ordinary soldiers may not be able to behead the fifteenth level in their lives."
For Guan Yu himself, this is not a very difficult thing, but not everyone is Guan Yu.
Beheading fifteenth level may not seem like much, but for ordinary soldiers, it is almost a completely impossible thing to do.
The battlefield is extremely cruel, and after every battle, it is very good to be able to come back alive. If you can behead two levels, you will also make a lot of contributions.
If you want to kill more enemies, it is absolutely extremely difficult except to encounter that kind of fragile garbage army.
The fifteenth level of beheading means that Guan Wu has to go through about seven or eight battles, and he has to make some gains in each of them, and he has to come back alive.
In fact, it's almost an impossible thing to do. Even if he is a strong soldier in the army, he does not dare to guarantee that every time he goes to the battlefield, he will be able to behead two levels, let alone guarantee that he will always be able to live.
Therefore, seeing that Guan Wu seemed to be a little moved, Guan Yu immediately spoke out to stop him. He didn't want to see this young man, who was very angry with him, lose his life for it.
Seeing that the red-faced man actually dared to disturb the court, the county magistrate of Xie County immediately shouted: "Who are you, dare to make a loud noise above the court and interfere with the choice of prisoners?" β
Even though the person in front of him was a small county magistrate, Guan Yu saw that he was impartial in handling the case and seemed quite fair, but he didn't want to deliberately embarrass him.
Guan Yu made a gesture to the county order and said: "I am a general under Liu Yuzhou, Guan Yu Guan Yunchang is also, and he is currently in the position of military commander. This time, he returned to the capital with the general, and returned to his hometown and province by the way. β
When the county commander heard that Guan Yu had reported his identity, he immediately lowered his rank and saluted: "It turned out to be General Guan, and the subordinate is polite." β
This person is a county magistrate of 600 stones, and compared to the military Sima of Yulu Qianshi, his official position is still lower. Of course, the county commander of Xie County is a civil official, and Guan Yu is a military attachΓ©, not a general in Guanzhong.
According to common sense, even if it is a county order of 600 stones, there is no need to see the military Sima.
However, now that the times are in turmoil, the status of military generals has been greatly improved. Guan Yu is the military commander under Liu Bei, but he is not comparable to the county order of Xie County.
What's more, Guan Yu took advantage of the general Chen Xu and said that he would return to Beijing with Chen Xu.
Maybe the county order of Xie County can not be very reasonable for Liu Bei, a prince. However, when he served in Guanzhong, he had to care about his lord. That's why he treated Guan Yu like this.
Guan Yu said: "This son is a neighbor of a certain hometown, and he is a distant nephew. Although he committed the felony of murder, he also had a reason, I wonder if the Ming Court can be lenient? β
When the county magistrate of Xie County heard this, his face immediately changed, and he said sharply: "The state has national laws, and the family has family rules, as a local official, I should naturally handle everything impartially in accordance with the laws of the country." β
Speaking of this, the county commander of Xie County sat back on it again and shouted: "Even if you are a general under the command of the lord, I will not agree to intercede for the murderer, not to mention that you are only a general under Liu Yuzhou?" β
"I respect the general as a general under Liu Yuzhou, and I know the lord, so I look at the general. If the general wants to let someone abolish the public for personal reasons and ignore the law of the country, it will make me look down on the general. β
"I hope that the general will mention this matter again!"
After speaking, he no longer paid attention to Guan Yu, but stared at Guan Wu and said, "Prisoner Guan Wu, have you ever thought about whether to serve in the military or to serve in the conscription?" β
Guan Yu saw that the county order was like this, although he was angry in his heart, he also admired this person even more.
He didn't have a seizure on the spot, but secretly thought: "Even if Guan Mou doesn't want to owe the general a favor, it seems that this time he will go to the general to intercede for the sake of Ah Wu." β
Guan Wu saw that Guan Yu's plea did not work, and he was somewhat disappointed in his heart. Fortunately, since he dared to kill people in the street, he had already considered the consequences.
Guan Wu took a deep breath and said firmly: "A certain wish to serve in the military!" β
When the county magistrate heard this, he immediately asked someone to write down a document and asked Guan Wu to sign and draw the charge.
Subsequently, he temporarily put Guan Wu in prison, and then sent the documents written on Guan Wu's crimes and trials to the county under the stars.
The case of murder is not a trivial matter, and it is natural that the county officials must look at it. Moreover, Guan Wu chose to serve in the military, and the officials above were responsible for making the final decision on where to let Guan Wu serve in the military.
This matter will come and go for at least ten days.
This triage, because the cause and effect are very clear, did not take a lot of time at all. It can also be seen from this that the law enforcement efficiency of officials under Wen Zhao's rule is amazing.
Guan Yu's father and son went to visit Guan Wu in prison, and Guan Yu naturally reassured him repeatedly: "Ah Wuxiu should panic, and when I return home, I will hurry to Pusaka and explain this matter to the general, and I will definitely reduce your sentence." β
Guan Wu was quite moved in his heart, but he didn't want to trouble Guan Yu too much, so he said: "If this matter is too difficult, uncle still doesn't need to bother." β
"Since murder is a violation of the law, military service is naturally a matter of course, and there has never been any grievance."
However, the more Guan Wu said this, the more determined Guan Yu was to excuse him. After saying goodbye to Guan Wu, the father and son rushed home.
On the way back, Guan Ping was silent for a long time, and then said slowly: "Ah Weng, even if you have a friendship with the general, but when it comes to the laws of the government, I'm afraid this matter is not easy to handle, right?" β
Guan Yu said with some indifference: "Ah Ping may not know that when the general was young, he was also a ranger and liked to make friends with heroes from all over the world. At the beginning, there were bullies who bullied the general's family, and the general also killed people in anger, and then escaped. β
From this point of view, the general and the father and Ah Wu are the same kind of people. He understood the cause and effect of the incident, and he would definitely open up to Ah Wu. β
In the final analysis, according to Guan Yu's current moral concept, he still feels that he is not guilty of killing people to avenge his father. Perhaps not only him, but many Han Dynasty people have this idea.
When Guan Ping heard this, although he was a little uncertain in his heart, he didn't say anything more.
