Sui Dynasty: I, Yang Guang, am both scrupulous and stable

Chapter 176 Treat people as human beings

Coerced by public opinion and under covert pressure from Yang Guang, Yuan Xiaoju finally announced the decision to rectify the situation on the spot with anger and a trace of fear.

As soon as the words fell, two executioners holding swords came out.

Everyone stopped talking, only whispering, why was the scene so realistic today, even the executioner came out.

The executioner took a sip of wine and sprayed it on the broadsword. The broadsword was shining brightly in the sun. In the eyes of everyone who couldn't believe it, he slashed down on the necks of Bai Ting and Magu.

The knife fell from his hand, and his head rolled to the ground.

There was no mercy at all. There were so many people in the audience, but the sound of heads falling to the ground was unusually clear. Everyone who thought they were acting did not expect that in the end, the executioner killed both of them.

It would be unbelievable to say that this was an act. How could it be so realistic? People were beheaded in front of their eyes. How could this be false?
"This is not acting!"

People with smart minds have already realized that what happened just now was not an act. They understood that this also meant that the trial was not an act, and what was said in the trial was not an act. They were all true.

Bai Ting really bought the lamb from the trafficker, and Magu really ate the lamb. Such shocking things are hard to accept.

The crowd became commotion, and people threw whatever they had in their hands at the bodies of the two men.

Yuan Xiaoju said fiercely: "Your Highness, Prince Jin, I don't know how this matter will end. It all depends on you."

"Motsuka Zai, you can't leave yet."

"Why, do you still want to execute me, the Luozhou Tomb Master, on the spot?"

Yang Guang smiled slightly and clasped his hands behind his back: "Zai Yuanzhong seems to be confident. You have protected Magu from doing such evil things. It is not impossible to rectify the law on the spot."

"you!"

When Yuan Xiaoju heard Yang Guang's words, he was angry and scared at the same time. Yang Guang's behavior today really made him worry that Yang Guang would do something unimaginable to him without any scruples, including killing himself.

Yang Guang was still smiling, looking at Yuan Xiaoju's expression, and said confidently: "Yuan Zhongzai, don't worry, you are the Luozhou Zongzai appointed by my father. I cannot kill you just because of the unfounded reasons." , but please Motsuka Zai follow the soldiers home first and have a good rest."

"You want to imprison me?!"

"Motsuka Zai, what you said is serious. How could I imprison you? Besides, I have no right to imprison you."

Although Yuan Xiaoju was worried, he still maintained the majesty he had held in a high position for many years, and faced Yang Guang with unwavering momentum: "" "Then you..."

"It's at best house arrest."

Yuan Xiaoju was interrupted by Yang Guang before he finished speaking. Looking at the smiling young man in front of him, he became even more angry.

"Hmph, Your Highness Prince Jin, if you have the guts, kill me here. If you want to put me under house arrest, I'm afraid you don't have the ability to do so in Luoyang City."

"Yuan Zhongzai seems to have forgotten that my father ordered me to help control the world's soldiers and horses. The soldiers and horses of Luoyang City are also one of the world's soldiers and horses. In order to prevent Luozhou Zhongzai from becoming bigger, my father did not give you any military power. Today's remarks As soon as there was a commotion, everyone knew that you were inseparable from this case. I have arranged the troops and horses in Luoyang City. I will take my father's place of marching for a few days. When there is a reply to the letter sent to Daxing City, Yuan Zhongzai's The disposition will be settled naturally."

Yuan Xiaoju's eyes were filled with coldness at this moment. He really wanted to strangle the person in front of him to death, but it was a pity that he was surrounded by his guards.

"Your Highness, King Jin, please take care of yourself."

Yang Guang's army escorted Yuan Xiaoju home, and at this time, Yuan Xiaoju's mansion was surrounded by troops on three levels inside and outside.

Doing these things under Yuan Xiaoju's nose still took a lot of effort from Yang Guang, but fortunately he has the status of managing the army, and Yuan Xiaoju's relationship with the powerful people in the army is average, so he finally succeeded this time Said it was going well.

Yuan Xiaoju was "carried" back to his home by the army. Yang Guang said to the students: "The laws of the Sui Dynasty were lenient, but from today on, all students in the school must study the laws and act in accordance with the laws."

What happened just now still made the students a little scared, and no one dared to speak at this time.

Wang Long stood firmly beside Yang Guang: "Acting in accordance with the law is to correct your own words and deeds, and also for all of you to do things in the future. If you can do things, you can sit up straight, and when you become an official in the court, you can speak with confidence. "

"Students are taught."

"His Royal Highness King Jin killed well!"

Just when Yang Guang was calming down the students and thinking that he had to put in effort to appease the people, the people who had just thrown things on the bodies of Magu and the others calmed down a lot and began to praise Yang Guang.

"His Royal Highness King Jin is truly a good person to the people."

"His Royal Highness King Jin, please don't let go of the other people involved in this matter. They are looking down on human life and don't take our lives seriously at all. Please, Your Highness King Jin, must make the decision for us ordinary people." For a time, public opinion surged. When Wang Long saw this situation, he pulled Yang Guang out of the place and let others deal with the aftermath.

Wang Long took Yang Guang and walked in the empty school. Yang Guang asked: "Master Wang, why did you take me to leave first?"

"The public opinion just now is overwhelming. Although it seems to be a good thing, our expectations are too high. Your Highness cannot stay for a long time."

"Master Wang is very considerate."

Wang Long looked sad, but he asked with a smile unconsciously: "Your Highness, today, even Yuan Zhongzai was involved in the plot, and now he has sent troops to surround Yuanzhong Zai's home. I'm afraid it won't be that easy for me. In the past, even though His Highness has a noble status, this matter has gone too far, so it stands to reason that it would be best to at least remove Mototsuka Zai from the matter."

Yang Guang sighed and replied: "Hey, I have thought about it too. Yuan Xiaoju only did one thing in this matter, which was to release Magu privately. No matter how he is convicted, it will not be a big punishment. At most, it is dereliction of duty. , relying on his power and the status of the Yuan family, my father may only scold him a little, but his heart is far more hateful than his actions, so it is a big deal, and I did it this time."

Wang Long found a stone and sat down, and Yang Guang sat opposite. The old man and the young man sat down like close friends.

"His Royal Highness, Prince Jin, are you fighting back because Yuan Xiaoju wants to frame you?"

Yang Guang nodded: "A large part of it is due to this factor, and the other small part is because people like Yuan Xiaoju look at Dayi Lingran, but in fact, like the Bai family, they don't treat people as human beings at all. I am I can’t stand it anymore, I must have a good fight with him.”

Seeing the confidence and childishness of the young man in front of him when he said Dou Yidou, Old Master Wang Long couldn't help but feel envious: "Treat people as human beings, treat people as human beings! Why would Your Highness say this?" "

"Human beings are the gods of heaven and earth. Even ordinary people, no matter how poor they are, are not wild beasts in the mountains and forests. The methods of superiors from ancient times to fool the people are just for temporary benefit. I am different from them. I believe that young people are strong, and Sui Dynasty is strong. I We need to let all the young people in Da Sui have peace of mind and ask them to behave well."

The old master smiled and shook his head gently: "Your Highness, have you thought about the consequences of doing this? Yuan Xiaoju is not that easy to deal with."

"I have thought about it. Today's matter has been done. I have sent a letter to Daxing City immediately to wait for my father's decision. I know that my father will never bring down Yuan Xiaoju because of this matter. He may even think that I am making a fuss against Yuan Xiao. Ju, who knows that Yuan Xiaoju is my eldest brother’s father-in-law? Maybe he will force me to go back to Daxing. The worst outcome is that I will go back to Daxing City and spend a few months in isolation."

"It can be seen that His Highness did not do this because of his nature. The minister is even more puzzled. I don't believe that Your Highness can't think of a better solution. The result should be better than now, or what happened today will be better." The result should actually be the worst choice for His Highness personally."

"Master Wang, regardless of right or wrong for now, just tell me, are you enjoying today's conversation?"

Seeing Yang Guang raising his eyebrows and smiling, the young man's mood suddenly appeared on his face, and Wang Long actually had a trace of yearning.

"It's fun, it's fun..."

"It's good to have fun."

A gust of breeze blew between the two of them, and Yang Guang's hair was a little messy, but it added a touch of free and easy feeling: "Mrs. Wang, people look forward and backward in this life, there are many things to weigh the pros and cons, and there are always a few things that you want to think about. It depends on my temper. I feel disgusted even if I look at Bai Ting Magu and his like. I also deeply hate people like Yuan Xiaoju. Maybe I should use today's events to remind myself not to do Yuan Xiaoju in the future. A person of filial piety."

"Hahahaha, Your Highness has such a high opinion, Wang Long admires it. I don't know when I will say goodbye to Your Highness. Today I want to have a drink with Your Highness. I won't comment."

"No alcohol here."

Wang Long stroked his beard and took out a small horn flask from his sleeve: "I don't usually drink alcohol. I just carry a flask with me to show my elegance. I never thought I would use it today."

When he opened the lid, the aroma of wine overflowed. Wang Long poured a cup into the horn lid and handed the other to Yang Guang. The small and exquisite wine jug was really only for elegance and could not hold three ounces of wine.

Wang Long drank, a happy look appeared on his face, and Yang Guang also drank in one gulp.

Wang Long wiped the corner of his mouth gently and said, "Your Highness, I think I have to go home and give birth to a son after this time."

"Why did Master suddenly talk about this?"

Wang Long said with a smile on his face: "I am old, I don't know how many years I can live. I have to meet His Highness at such an age. I always feel unsatisfied. I have to give birth to a boy. I still have time to survive and catch up with the days when His Highness can display his great talents. , I want to tell him and let him take a good look at what great achievements His Highness can make for me."

"Hahahaha, Mrs. Wang, this is not what I'm saying to you. At your age, you should take it easy."

Wang Long said very confidently: "Your Highness, don't worry, besides studying, I am actually quite capable."

"Then Madam Wang, you can't drink anymore."

"Why?"

"Master Sun said, how can you drink alcohol while preparing for pregnancy?"

Yang Guang never expected that Wen Zhongzi, the fifth son among the legendary scholars, actually came from this.
