Rebirth of the eldest daughter

No matter how loud the shouting was just now, as soon as this clear female voice fell, everyone's heart tightened and they didn't dare to move.

The person accused of poisoning the official named Qin was indeed the refugee who was full of poison.

He was tied up and lay behind the guards unable to move.

It is still unknown how the official named Qin was poisoned.

However, the matter started due to a poisonous man, which attracted Bai Mingwei's attention.

However, this is not the best time to find out the man's identity.

Before that, she still had important things to deal with.

Bai Ming slowly walked over and just glanced at him.

"Dangdang!"

Someone couldn't hold the broken knife in his hand.

He wanted to pick it up, but as soon as his hand touched the broken blade, he knelt down with a "plop".

It turns out that my legs are too weak and I can no longer hold them up.

"Bang bang" several times.

All the swords in the hands of the Qin Party guards fell to the ground.

Before Bai Mingwei could reach them, they were already kneeling on the ground shivering.

Even the most arrogant official named Qian was shaking like chaff, like a tiger that had its teeth pulled out, and could no longer be arrogant.

Bai Ming slightly glanced at his gauze-wrapped head: "It seems Master Qian has recovered, otherwise he wouldn't be so angry."

This official named Qian was the one who was beaten to a bloody head by Bai Mingwei before.

His head was still tied with silk, but it didn't stop him from becoming a monster at all.

Logically speaking, he shouldn't be here.

It's just that as the most loyal henchman of the Qin Party, when he heard that Qin Ze was injured by the refugees, he came to vent his anger on his master despite his heavy head.

Otherwise, how could he show his loyalty to protect the Lord?

Faced with Bai Ming's slightly pointed words, he quickly cried out: "General, you are here, Lord Qin, he was poisoned by the unruly people, and now he does not know whether he is alive or dead!"

"We are officials of the imperial court, and we were ordered to come to Jiangbei to provide relief and help these refugees tide over their difficulties! But what did these unscrupulous people do? They actually murdered the official of the imperial court!"

His voice was trembling, and he seemed to lack confidence.

But as he spoke, his tone became confident and plausible:

"The lives of these victims are important. Aren't our lives ours? If our safety cannot be guaranteed, how can we provide relief to the victims?"

"General, today I ask you to clarify my doubts. Are the lives of these unruly people more important than our lives? Yes or no?!"

With these words, there was deathly silence everywhere.

Some people are afraid of Bai Mingwei, fearing to offend her.

Some people were thinking about what the official named Qian said, but they couldn't get an answer.

Disaster relief officials and refugees should not have had such conflicts.

But sometimes, we stand on the opposite side.

In the current situation, if Bai Mingwei blindly favors the refugees, it will inevitably arouse the dissatisfaction of the officials.

Not only the officials of the Qin Party, but also those who are neutral, prudent and self-protective, and even those who stand in her camp will be chilled by this.

But if Bai Mingwei punishes the refugees who poisoned the official named Qin, those refugees who have just been calmed down will inevitably set off another wave of anger.

So, this should have been a dilemma.

However, Bai Mingwei had already considered this result when he ordered to relax the restrictions on the Qin Party.

She has long been prepared.

She wants to let everyone understand today: As a human being, we should be bound by morality and law.

If the two sides continue to be at odds with each other, nothing will change except making the situation worse.

After taking a deep look at the official surnamed Qian, Bai Ming asked loudly: "How do you think this matter should be handled?"

As soon as this statement came out, whispers broke out.These voices gradually became unconstrained and became noisy, even hysterical.

Some refugees asked angrily: "We saw what happened just now. You officials have no scruples and want to take our lives in public!"

"We are humble, we are lowly, so should we die?"

"He is an official and has power, so can he shout and kill?"

"You are here to provide disaster relief. It is your responsibility to save us! These dog officers want to take our lives at will! They should be severely punished!"

"Since the general has promised to make decisions for us and save us from suffering! Then kill him! Let us see the sincerity of the general!"

"If the general doesn't do anything! That's just officers protecting each other! His words that he would lead us to overcome the disaster are just bullshit!"

The refugees were all talking and excited.

Famine and deprivation are all factors of instability.

Therefore, if a country wants to be strong and stable, those in power must hide wealth among the people so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, so that a prosperous and peaceful age can be ushered in.

But now that a flood has taken away everything these people have, they have become a source of uneasiness, and their rationality has been taken over by anger.

Just like the dry firewood, it ignites at a moment's notice.

No matter what appeals were made at first, gradually the voices became consistent.

"Kill that dog officer! Make the decision for us! Kill that dog officer! Make the decision for us!"

Compared with the victims, who are agitated by public anger, the Qin Party appears to be weak in numbers.

They refused to let go of the fact that the official surnamed Qin was killed and poisoned, and advocated their demands at the top of their lungs:

"Our lives are also lives! Even if they are weak, they should kill to pay for it!"

"Murder for life!"

"..."

Suddenly, the angry voices from both sides resounded through the city gate.

It was more deafening than a torrent of water.

They seemed to be tireless, screaming, angry... shouting hysterically, asking for what they thought was fairness and justice.

Bai Mingwei just listened quietly.

Until they shouted more and more angrily, and even wanted to take action again.

Bai Mingwei shouted loudly: "Okay!"

The powerful voice instantly overwhelmed the anger and noise.

The sounds all around slowly stopped.

When the scene fell silent, leaving only their heavy breathing that could not be calmed down, Bai Mingwei slowly spoke:
"I have heard all your appeals and heard them very clearly."

"But, I just want to ask you, are you enemies? What do you gain by killing the other party?"

As he spoke, Bai Mingwei looked at the official named Qian: "What do you get? Is it justice or morality?"

Without waiting for the official named Qian to answer, she glanced at the refugees present:

"What do you get? Food? Land? A way for the flood to recede? Money to rebuild your home?"

Then, she pointed at the official surnamed Qian: "It is only right to pay debts and kill people to pay for their lives! But such words should not come from the mouth of a court official!"

"The official robe you wear is not your power to define right and wrong, good and evil, but a proof of shouldering and fulfilling responsibilities!"

"The state has national laws, and families have family rules. Every Dongling person, regardless of their status, should be bound by the law!"

"This is especially true as a court official! Otherwise, you will know the law and break the law, abuse your power, and use your power for personal gain!"

"If he is guilty, it should not be measured by the so-called fairness and morality in your heart, but by national laws and evidence to measure the seriousness of the crime he committed!"

"Only national laws and regulations are the only criterion to judge whether he should pay for his life! Here, no one can go beyond the national laws and take another person's life!"

The official surnamed Qian was a little dissatisfied: "But he clearly poisoned Mr. Qin!"

Bai Mingwei didn't say much to him, but asked loudly in front of everyone: "Can it be done or can't it be?!"
