The case has been settled at this point, especially after Wen Zhao came forward, there is no possibility of changing the verdict of the two.

At first, Wei Zheng was worried that his lord would be dissatisfied with this verdict. After all, Chen Xu was invited by Guan Yu to exonerate Guan Wu.

Although there have been some turmoil in the case now, the verdict of Guan Wu has not been changed.

Even if Wei Zheng is a capable official who has some persistence, with Wen Zhao, the lord of Guanzhong, standing on the side, staring at him with fierce eyes, he still has some ups and downs in his heart.

However, until Wei Zheng set up the case file and asked the two to sign and draw on it, Wen Zhao still didn't say a word.

After the outcome of the case was completely finalized, Wei Zheng saw a hint of relief in Wen Zhao's eyes. Yes, it was a look of relief, not a look of dissatisfaction.

After the case was over, the people in the county office slowly dispersed, and even Zheng's mother left the county office with Zheng Tu's young daughter.

Wen Zhao called a personal soldier and said to him: "This place is not close to Guanjia Village, Zheng's mother is too old, and her granddaughter is too young, you can give them a ride with a war horse." ”

After receiving the order, the soldiers naturally acted as promised. When Zheng's mother learned that the soldier was going to send the two of them back to Guanjia Village, she was immediately very moved.

Mother Zheng is also more and more grateful to Wen Zhao, the master of Guanzhong.

If it weren't for Chen Xu's arrival, even if Guan Wu, the murderer, could be brought to justice, Guan Xiong, who was the murderer behind the scenes, would still continue to be at large.

Now not only did the enemies who killed their son, but they all got the punishment they deserved, Wen Zhao, the general of the dynasty, actually remembered the two of them and sent soldiers to send them home.

This kind of meticulous care and thoughtfulness can't help but make Zheng's mother burst into tears.

The villagers of Guanjia Village have all left, only Guan Yu and Guan Ping are still staying in the county government. Guan Yu originally called Wen Zhao in order to make Guan Wu's punishment easier.

He didn't expect that things would develop to such a point.

If Guan Wu really killed Zheng Tu for his father, it would be understandable, even if he asked him to pull down his face and plead with Chen Xu, Guan Yu would try his best to keep Guan Wu.

But Guan Wu was completely taken advantage of, and he killed an innocent person. In this case, Guan Yu would be embarrassed to continue to intercede for Guan Wu.

This is also why, even if Wei Zheng's trial of Guan Wu was exactly the same as before, he still didn't say a word.

Seeing that everyone had left, Wen Zhao came to Guan Yu's side and said, "Yun Chang, I feel very guilty for not being able to exonerate Guan Wu. However, the country has its own laws, and the family has its own rules, and since he has broken the law, even I cannot intercede for him. ”

"You must know that there are no rules, and if the law loses its due binding force, I am afraid that the government will no longer have credibility in the hearts of the people."

Guan Yu saluted Wen Zhao and said, "Why did the general say this? The boy Awuna doesn't know people, and he doesn't know that he was killed by someone else's knife. If I had been until the twists and turns in it, I would definitely not have gone to Kasaka to disturb the general. ”

"In any case, the general was able to take time out of his busy schedule and come to Xie County with Guan to retry this case, and Guan is already grateful."

Wen Zhao shook his head, and said, "Yun Chang, if Guan Xiong hadn't happened, and Guan Wu had indeed killed someone to avenge his father, I would still not exonerate him." ”

Guan Yu was stunned when he heard this, and involuntarily asked, "Why?" ”

With a sigh, Wen Zhao said, "Can Yun Chang know the Shang Martingale Method?" ”

Guan Yu replied: "Although I have heard of it, I don't know the details. ”

Wen Zhao stared at Guan Yu with burning eyes, and said: "After Shang Ying changed the law, the Qin State legislated in detail and implemented law enforcement. Through unremitting efforts, the poor, backward, and barbaric Qin State became strong, and finally swept the six countries and dominated the world. ”

"Can Yun Chang know that when the laws of the Qin State were perfected, how many people in the Qin State were executed for fighting in the process of enforcing the law?"

Guan Yu replied, "I don't know." ”

Wen Zhao smiled slightly and said, "Actually, I don't know the specific number, but I only know that there was a time when hundreds of people were beheaded at one time because of the fighting. ”

"Hundreds, how is that possible?"

Not only Guan Yu, but even Xu Huang, Dian Wei, and Wei Zheng also exclaimed. The law does not blame the people, this is not an empty word, but an eternal truth.

If there are too many people involved in breaking the law, and these people are still dealt with according to the law, it is easy to cause civil unrest. They didn't dare to imagine what the concept of killing hundreds of people at once was.

Of course, if the army marches to fight and kill the enemy, or even slaughter the prisoners and the people under the rule of the other party. Don't say hundreds, even thousands, tens of thousands of people will not lose their color.

But it is unimaginable to behead hundreds of people in the territory just because of the fight.

After exclaiming, Guan Yu immediately said with an angry face: "It is said that the Qin State is tyrannical and the Qin law is harsh, and I heard the words of the general today to know that this is true." ”

Wen Zhao shook his head and said, "Yun Chang only knows that the Qin State beheaded hundreds of people at one time, but he doesn't know how many people of the Qin State they saved by this move."

"Before the Shang Dynasty changed the law, all the people in the Qin State liked to fight bravely, and often fought with each other over some trivial matters. Sometimes, people fight for water, and even large-scale fights break out. ”

"This kind of fighting causes almost thousands of casualties among the people of Qin every year. The people are also because of the death of people in the village, and the grudge between them and other villages is getting deeper and deeper. ”

"Even the women in many villages in the Qin State would rather find guests to borrow seeds than marry men from other villages. In this way, the Qin State, just the consumption of internal strife, has already dragged the country to an overwhelming burden. ”

"Although the Qin State once killed hundreds of civilians at one time in the process of enforcing the law, it is a small amount compared to the number of people who die every year because of armed fighting."

"It is precisely because of Qin's implementation of law enforcement that the people in Qin's territory have a sense of reverence for the law and no longer dare to violate the law."

Speaking of this, Wen Zhao looked at Guan Yu with blazing eyes and said, "Even if Guan Wu really avenges his father and kills people, I will never be extrajudicial to show mercy." ”

"After all, let's not say that Zheng Tu's crime of scolding people is not death, even if he is really guilty, he should be punished by law."

"If everyone kills people in revenge, where will the law be, and how chaotic will the lives of the people be?"

Wen Zhao's point of view, Guan Yu did not agree with some points, but did not refute it. On the contrary, it was Wei Zheng who became a little bright-eyed.
