Chapter 132 Forgiveness
Tao Youmei and Ji Qiang's story about the Holy Ancestor was just an introduction, and his real intentions were revealed later.

"Your Majesty, after the founding of Daliang, it took nearly ten years for the ancestors to establish the prototype of our Daliang law. Especially in terms of sentencing, it took the longest time. There was only one case. The ancestors wanted to abolish it, but all officials opposed it. , confronted the holy ancestor for three months. Afterwards, the two parties compromised, and the punishment of sitting down was not completely abolished. However, when sentencing, the offender's family and children under the age of ten can be exempted from the death penalty."

"The legal system that the ancestor took so much effort to build, if your Majesty "opens the precept" with King Yong, the efforts of the ancestor in the past will be in vain. Your Majesty, please think twice!"

What Tao Youmei said was very cryptic, but Ji Qiang immediately understood what he meant.After falling to the ground, she slowly got up and walked down.

"Tao Qing means that what I have done not only failed the painstaking efforts of the holy ancestors, but it is also a step backwards in terms of Daliang's legal system... Is that what you mean?"

As for the last question, her tone already contained a lot of sternness.

Tao Youmei was not afraid, bent over and cupped her hands, and replied firmly: "Yes."

Such a frank and bold answer was beyond Ji Qiang's expectation, she didn't say anything, but looked at him carefully.

Tao Youmei, who was almost forty years old, looked ten years younger than her peers.

He was neither from a family nor from a poor family.He was an orphan since childhood.

Although he is an orphan, he was taken in by the old national teacher and taught carefully.People who practice Taoism look younger than ordinary people.

For example, the national teacher is clearly in his twenties, but he doesn't look older than Xiao Maju and his elder brother.

This person was originally trained by the old national teacher as the next national teacher, but unfortunately, the destiny belonged to Jiang Jian, and Tao Youmei finally took charge of the Criminal Department of Daliang with the support of the old national teacher.

In my impression, Tao Youmei was the most silent one in the court apart from the national teacher.On weekdays, even if the people around her were arguing, Tao Youmei refused to speak easily.Even if someone took the initiative to find him, he would still say "um" and "ah" in a perfunctory manner.

Ji Qiang also observed him for a while, every time.

It's been a long time, but no one is looking for him in every debate.

Tao Youmei felt that His Majesty had been watching him for a long time, so she couldn't help raising her head slowly, meeting Ji Qiang's smiling eyes, and couldn't help but tremble in her heart, is there anything wrong with his clothes today?
It is worth His Majesty's laughter.

At this moment, Ji Qiang said: "All adults within the nine clans of King Yong, regardless of gender, will be executed. In addition, all the cronies, followers, and aides under King Yong's command who have a slight connection with King Yong's collusion with the enemy and treason will all be executed. .”

"As for those minors, they are temporarily detained and await their release."

Tao Youmei: "..."

"Thank you, Your Majesty Long En, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live."

He really didn't expect that Ji Qiang listened to persuasion so easily, and didn't use such words as "the king keeps his promises" as an excuse.

"Tao Qing, please, I have one more thing..." Ji Qiang looked hesitant, before he said, "Do you know, what the state teacher is doing recently?"

Since she was "ill" last time, the national teacher pretended to be her father and relieved her, so far, January is about to pass.However, the national teacher is like a stone sinking into the sea, and there is no news from him.

Last time, when Shang Liujia went to the National Teacher's Mansion to look for him, the two big boys said that the National Teacher had retreated again, but for some reason, Ji Qiang didn't really believe such words.

In the past, she was only embarrassed by Ji Hua and others, and the national teacher would jump out to frighten her. Now, with so many things coming out in the court at once, and everything was difficult, the national teacher would instead pick her up... This is not in line with common sense.

Tao Youmei was also very confused about this point. To be honest, he didn't know the specific movements of the national teacher.

Although he and Jiang Jianshi came from the same school, he moved out of the National Teacher's Mansion as early as the day he entered the court as an official. At that time, his master, the old National Teacher, was still there.

Later, the old national teacher passed away, and his younger brother Jiang Jian became the new national teacher.

In Tao Youmei's eyes, the national teacher is the national teacher, and in Daliang, the national teacher is a transcendent existence.Therefore, he never took the initiative to mention it to others, such as "he and the national teacher came from the same school".

This is the respect for the national teacher, and it is also the observance of the teacher's motto of "respecting the teacher, respecting the way, and being strict with self-discipline".

"How long is the longest time for the national teacher to retreat?" Ji Qiang asked again.

Tao Youmei thought for a while and answered, "I remember that the longest time the old national teacher retreated was three months. As for the national teacher, I don't know."

Three months... Ji Qiang's expression gradually became serious.

……

On the day the imperial decree to execute King Yong's family was issued in Yongzhou, Ban Zhuojia led the Xuanjia elite soldiers to personally execute it.The people of Daliang have not seen such a grand execution scene for many, many years. For the people, this is an infinitely powerful deterrent, and it is also a redemption from the bottom of their hearts.

The people they were killed by Yong Wang Luoqin were not humans, ghosts or ghosts, and countless border people died tragically under Beirong's iron cavalry.

If King Yong is not dead, who will die? !

Before the execution, Luo Qin was about to die, but he still didn't know how to repent, and shouted: "The demon girl misled the country, the fourth generation of Liang Liang declined, and the sixth generation died!"

The people were furious when they heard this, and they wished to send Luo Qin to hell immediately. He had colluded with the enemy and treasoned the country, and he had no remorse when he died.

Ever since, all the people waved their fists and shouted: "Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Ban Zhuojia took out the plaque carved by Luo Zhao, the first generation of King Yong, and read it to the people, and also to King Yong: "The Luo family will always be loyal to the Ji family."

Hearing the sound, the corner of Luo Qin's mouth showed a hint of sarcasm, very disdainful.

Ban Zhuojia read to him the small characters on the other side: "Anyone from the Fanluo clan who has a different heart will be punished by everyone!"

Luo Qin's face changed, and he tried his best to look at the line of small characters. After seeing it clearly, he suddenly smiled miserably, which was very strange.

"Great-grandfather, great-great-grandfather, why did you give up the land you conquered in your narrow escape to a woman? If you don't let me, I will be the emperor now, and your descendants will be emperors... Hehe, everyone in the Fanluo clan has a different heart. And Zhu Zhi, since that’s the case, why did you marry a wife and have children?”

"Now, you are going to end your children and grandchildren."

Luo Qin muttered to himself.

Outside the paddock, the people are still boiling: "Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The shouts of the people covered the sound of the horse's hooves, until the chief eunuch got off his horse and climbed onto the platform with an imperial decree in his hand.

"The decree has arrived!"

"Your Majesty has an order that within the nine clans of King Yong Luoqin, all minors, regardless of gender, will be exempted from the death penalty! From now on, all men over the age of 12 will enter the barracks. All women over the age of 12 will enter the Jiaofang Division. The rest All of them will enter the Yangshengtang."

Ban Zhuojia accepted the order, and Luo Qin, who was still in a state of madness just now, suddenly closed his eyes quietly.

……

A few days after the incident in Yongzhou, there was new news from Jizhou. The King of Wuling County and the King of Ji joined forces to repel King Gledun of Beirong Zhongtingqin and drove the Beirong people out of Yangping County.

However, this battle was fought very fiercely, and the Ye Family Army and Xuanjia Army suffered heavy losses.
