I am not a deposed emperor of Han Dynasty

Chapter 7

Of course, Liu He had read about Guo Xie's affairs in the book. As for the relationship between Guo Kai and Guo Xie, Liu He had guessed and guessed on the spot.

It seems that luck is good, the guess is not bad, then the next thing will be a matter of course.

Of course, Liu He couldn't reveal his background, so he simply didn't answer Guo Kai's question directly, but went on talking on his own.

"Guo Xie was originally a well-known ranger in Hanoi. I don't know how you escaped the family's punishment, but I guess you must want to inherit your ancestor's ambition and become a ranger who uses martial arts."

"But Emperor Xiaowu can't tolerate you rangers, let alone your Guo family, so you can only take the next best thing and be a water bandit leader."

"Whether you are the leader of water bandits or you refuse to confess, it's not for other reasons, but..."

Liu He purposely made a fool of himself, and after he was sure that the other party was listening to him seriously, he said slowly: "It's just to make things difficult for the court. If the court doesn't let you be a water bandit, you can be a water bandit. If the court asks you to confess, you can just confess." No confession, you just want to show your chivalrous spirit."

"Han Feizi" has a saying: Confucianism violates the law with literature, while chivalry violates the law with martial arts.

Confucians use literature to disrupt the state's laws and regulations, and rangers use violence to violate the state's prohibitions.

Put it on Guo Kai, no matter what he does, it is to fight against the court.

After listening to Liu He's words, Guo Kai's eyes widened at first, and then went out like a lamp, his whole body lost its brilliance.

A chivalrous man must use martial arts to break the ban, and he must also base himself on faith.

Guo Kai opened his eyes again, and said: "I have lost, and I am willing to confess."

Liu He breathed a sigh of relief, no blood was seen, and no one died, which is already a very good result.

"I want to know, who are you?"

"I am an official of Changyi Kingdom."

When Liu He and Guo Kai were "gambling" in the torture room, Yu Wuyou who was standing outside the door also started to attack Chen Xiu and He Qushang.

"You two, it's your job to deal with punishment and prison. I hope you won't use this kind of thing to bother your subordinates in the future."

Yu Wuyou held a gun and a stick, and Chen Xiu and He Qushang could naturally hear the sarcasm in it.

"What kind of thing does Langzhong Yu refer to?" Chen Xiu stared at Yu Wuyou and asked.

"Of course it's a bloody thing."

"According to what you mean, what I, the Fa Cao officials and prison officials in hundreds of counties in the Han Dynasty, together with Lord Tingwei in Chang'an, have done are outrageous things?"

"I have never said that you are doing things that are harmful to nature, but you two, don't forget that the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty was caused by the tyranny of the criminal law, and there is not a long time to learn from it."

Yu Wuyou said so coldly, without any regard for the face of Chen Xiu and He Qu.

Although after Dong Zi, the Great Han Dynasty apparently "dismissed all schools of thought and respected Confucianism", in fact it was "confucianism outside and law inside".

Educate the people with Confucianism and manage the people with Legalism.

So even if everyone is Confucianism, "judges" like Chen Xiu and the others are still supporters of Legalism.

Yu Wuyou used "Baoqin" as a comparison, which was equivalent to pointing at Chen Xiu and He Qushang's nose and calling them pigs and dogs.

However, "the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty was caused by the tyranny of the harsh law" is the current conclusion, so even though Chen Xiu and the others were extremely angry, they could not refute a single word, they could only blow their beards and stare, and their faces turned red.

Yu Wuyou had the same rank as Chen and He, two hundred stones, and was at least two rounds younger in age, but now he was slightly superior in momentum.

This tall and thin young man was like a martial artist guarding the door, questioning the two veterans in the execution ground.

If there is a sword in hand, it is estimated that it has been unsheathed by now.

"This... this, where did Yu Langzhong say this? It's all the meaning of the sect."

He Qushang is the king of Hades to the prisoners in the county prison, but he can only lower his eyebrows to the promising young doctor.

"He Yucheng is right. The virtuous meeting is the meaning of the sect. We are just following the rules."

Although Chen Xiu was still full of anger, he already had some sophistry, and sophistry meant admitting defeat.

"If you say so, you will really do it. If the sect asks you to rebel one day, will you really rebel?"

When He Qushang heard the word "rebellion", his face turned pale immediately, and he quickly looked around to make sure that the officials who came and went were not coming this way, so he lowered his voice and said with a sad expression on his face: "Mr. , be careful that the walls have ears!"

And Chen Xiu didn't think it was a big deal when he watched the excitement, he patted the sword on his waist, and said as if angry with Yu Wuyou: "Rebellion is rebellion, no matter what it is, as long as it is said by the sect, I, Chen Xiu, will do it. "

"Hmph, then I would like to thank Official Chen Cao on behalf of my sect."

"Don't dare, don't dare!"

……

A quarter of an hour later, Liu He pushed open the door of the execution room and walked out.

He found that the people outside the door were far away from each other. Although they didn't speak, the atmosphere was a bit strange.

Chen Xiu was angry, so how could he hurt his fear, and Yu Wuyou was indifferent.

After they saw Liu He coming out, they greeted him with a slightly relaxed expression.

"Under the door, is there any result?" He Qushang asked flatteringly.

"Take it, it's all here."

Liu He handed several wooden tablets full of small characters to He Qushang's hands, and Chen Xiu immediately came over.

The faces of the two of them immediately showed joy.

The above is Guo Kai's confession, one after another, all written clearly, and it is worthy of the confessions of those little people.

And on every piece of wooden tablet, there is Guo Kai's signature, unexpectedly this Guo Kai's handwriting is not bad.

With these, this case is an iron case that cannot be overturned.

According to the law of the Han Dynasty, Guo Kai's death penalty is inevitable. Next, Facao will make a verdict, and then report to the Tingwei Mansion for inspection. After the order from the Tingwei Mansion returns, it will be time for Guo Kai to "go on the road" .

"How long will Guo Kai live?" Liu He asked.

"September Autumn Judgment, I can live for five or six months." Chen Xiu replied.

"How will his subordinates be sentenced?"

"If it is light, it will be transferred to punishment, if it is serious, it will be the head of the owl."

Liu He sighed lightly and said, "God has the virtue of loving life, and man has the heart of compassion."

"They are all refugees who can't afford to eat. No one wants to make a living by licking blood unless it is absolutely necessary. What's more, they often only steal money and don't hurt people. So Liu He hereby begs Chen Caoshi to be lenient and try his best to make a living. Light sentence."

After Liu He finished speaking, he even made a big gift to Chen Xiuxing, which scared Chen Xiu and He Qushang back quickly.

Recalling what Yu Wuyou said just now, Chen Xiu immediately agreed without any hesitation.

When He Qushang and Chen Xiu sent Liu He to the door all the way, Liu He suddenly remembered another thing, so he said: "Guo Kai is not a very evil person, he is about to die, please treat him kindly."

"only!"

Liu He and Yu Wuyou got into the carriage, and under the watchful eyes of He Qushang and Chen Xiu, they drove north along the east wall of Changyi City, towards the even more magnificent Prime Minister's Mansion in the distance.
