Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 306
"what!"

A half-grown boy, holding a spear in his hand, swung the pole of an old man opposite him and kicked him in the chest.

The old man flew upside down immediately, and the young man followed suit, swinging his fist the size of a sandbag, and punched the old man's face one after another.

The beating made the old man's blood-stained teeth fly out, staring at his eyes, he almost fainted.

A young and strong man suddenly appeared behind him, and hit the young man's back with an axe. With a "click", the young man wailed for it, almost shattering his bones.

However, it is not fatal!

In this village-to-village fight, the villagers will generally not forget to greet each other's deadly parts, and will not kill them.

Because even the most ignorant people know that killing people will pay for their lives.

Not to mention being arrested by the government and thrown into a prison, the other party's family members will also seek revenge until they kill their own enemies!
"Stop! Stop everything!"

After a long time, Fan Li arrived with a large group of government servants, including many armored soldiers.

After learning of the village-level fighting on the outskirts of Jinling, the soldiers guarding the city did not dare to neglect.

Because Fan Li revealed himself as the token of governing millet internal history, and what he conveyed was the emperor's oral order, so the soldiers of the Wu army guarding the city also came here under orders.

Seeing this, the villagers who had been fighting in a group finally did not dare to act rashly, knelt down one after another, and threw the murder weapon in their hands to the ground.

After all, even the armored soldiers have been dispatched, this is not a joke!
"Your Majesty! Your minister is too late, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

Fan Li hurriedly bowed to Qingji to apologize.

"The widow forgives your innocence."

Qing Ji replied lightly, and then looked around again, focusing on the villagers who were already kneeling on the ground, trembling for it.

"Thousands of years, king!"

Knowing that the man in front of him is his own monarch, after King Wu Qingji, all the villagers including Uncle Hei were terrified.

They never expected that they would gather crowds to fight under the eyes of the monarch!

Qingji was also very disappointed in these villagers who dared to fight privately.

Almost all of them were covered with scarves, what's more, they were covered in cuts and bruises, and they had fallen into a pool of blood, almost dying.

If Fan Li hadn't arrived in time with hundreds of troops to control the chaotic situation, more lives would have been caused!
"Wait, it's really disappointing everyone."

Qing Ji said coldly: "I, the people of Great Wu, why are you so brave and ruthless? If you are so brave and ruthless, you are outsiders, and you are on the battlefield. You should reward them and encourage them."

"However, why are you fighting against each other like this, doing things that make loved ones hurt and enemies happy?"

Qingji's words made the villagers kneeling on the ground feel extremely ashamed, wishing they could find a crack in the ground and crawl in.

"Great Wang Mingjian!"

Old Uncle Hei knocked his head on the ground and said in tears: "It's clear that they bullied people too much, being rude first and hurting others later. Cao Min and others really can't swallow this bad breath!"

"Nonsense! In front of your majesty, how dare you quibble and talk nonsense?"

The elders of another village were very dissatisfied and said: "Daze Lake has always been a place for fishing in our village for generations. Our ancestors were benevolent and let the people of your village fish together. However, you are so rude that you actually Do you want to monopolize this Daze Lake?"

"Shut up!"

Seeing that they were arguing again, Qingji finally stopped talking and said with a big wave of his hand: "Shut everyone into prisons and detain them. The wounded will be treated by doctors, and the dead will be claimed by their families."

"promise!"

After Qingji gave the order, the surrounding government servants and soldiers immediately pushed and shoved the unarmed villagers, like driving cattle and sheep, and brought them back to Jinling City and put them in prison.

Many people were killed or injured in this village-level fighting.

Five people died, and more than [-] people were seriously injured. It is estimated that they will be disabled for life.

Qing Ji hated this kind of private fighting among the people.

Originally, the population of Wu State was not large. If the people of the country became popular, how many people would die each year?
Moreover, there are many young and middle-aged laborers among them!
"Changqing, Shaobo, what do you think, how should I deal with this riot?"

On the way back to Jinling City, Qingji set his inquiring eyes on Sun Wu and Fan Li again.

The two looked at each other.

Fan Li first said: "Your Majesty, private fighting among the people is commonplace in all countries in the world. It is especially serious in Wu, Chu, Qin, Yan and other countries that live in a corner!"

"Sometimes two villages or two tribes fought each other because of the competition for the water source to irrigate the fields, and countless people died. Or because of the enmity between the father and grandfather's generation, the two families hated each other and attacked and killed each other. This has been a long-standing grievance!"

"Today's event is actually a microcosm of the remote places in my country of Wu."

"Almost every year, whether it is a villager's fight or a personal fight, there are countless casualties."

"In this case, please also take a lesson from your majesty, and severely punish those who participate in the fighting, so as to make an example to others!"

Hearing this, Qingji was noncommittal, and turned his attention to Sun Wu.

"Master, what do you think?"

Sun Wu pondered for a moment, and said: "My lord, forgive me for speaking bluntly, the law does not blame the public."

"Now there are as many as a hundred villagers participating in the fighting with weapons. Your Majesty may be able to find out the murderers and those who have seriously injured others, and make them serve hard labor or be punished, and then send them to the border!"

Fan Li and Sun Wu have different versions, but they are essentially the same.

D!

During the Spring and Autumn Period, all countries advocated the rule of benevolence and morality.

Unless it is a heinous crime, if you pay the crime, you will not die. At most, you will receive a harsher punishment, and then you will be exiled to the border.

Just as Fan Li said, there are many private struggles in the world.

Even in Weiguo, where "there are many gentlemen in the Weidi, the country will be safe", there are vendettas and killings.

In remote countries like Wu, Qin, and Chu, where they live together with Rong, Di and barbarians, the locals are even more disobedient and rebellious.

Their private fights are often not personal vendettas, but large-scale fighting between two villages.

Maybe it will happen that one village slaughters another village.

Qingji was not willing to see such a tragic thing.

As for personal vendetta, in fact, all countries are in favor of it.

Countries in the Central Plains such as Qi, Lu, Wei, and Jin have been deeply influenced by Chinese culture for a long time, but for those who kill enemies with their hands, they are often praised as "warriors" with filial piety and loyalty.

Qingji also heard a rather absurd thing, that is, in Wu State decades ago, there was a strong man who avenged his best friend and killed the person who killed his best friend.

Then, the son of the opponent killed the strong man in a fit of anger, and the sons and grandchildren of the strong man took revenge and wiped out his entire family...

Isn't it absurd that the local government doesn't care about such things?

The magical brain circuits of the ancients cannot be understood by modern people in a short while.
