Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Official Qian did not dare to answer this question.

National laws and regulations bind everyone.

In this world, there are people who exercise the power granted by national laws and regulations and become messengers of right and wrong.

But this person is definitely not an official named Qian.

If he dared to say that he could represent the laws and regulations of the country, even if Bai Mingwei killed him, no one would complain to him.

So he chose to remain silent.

Bai Ming slightly raised his voice and asked the guard who had just taken action: "Where are you?!"

The Qin party guards knelt on the ground and dared not speak.

After solving this problem, Bai Mingwei focused on the refugees.

She pointed at the official named Qian and asked loudly: "Is it him who caused your current situation?"

"Did he cause the rain? Did he cause the flood? Did he take away your home and your relatives? Is it because of him that you are hungry and suffering?"

One of the refugees replied: "But he wants to attack us! He wants to kill people!"

Bai Mingwei asked: "Have they taken action against you? What do you mean by asking this general to take his life?"

"Is it the justice in your heart that you can't even distinguish, or is it the anger and hatred you have towards officials because of the suffering you have suffered?"

Some refugees still wanted to speak: "But he...he..."

Bai Ming asked in a loud voice: "Who is he? I will ask this general today, does all the suffering you have suffered have anything to do with him?"

In the phrase.

Every question she asked went straight to the crux.

The question left everyone speechless.

Seeing everyone fell into silence again, Bai Mingwei said the key point she wanted to express:
"Sir Qian, as a court official and a disaster relief official in Jiangbei, you are not only burdened with His Majesty's imperial edict, but also with the responsibility of relieving the victims."

"Today, at this moment, you are standing here to solve problems, not to create them! Make your responsibilities clear and don't interfere in things that have nothing to do with you!"

"I know you are very angry about what happened to Mr. Qin, but it is the Dongling Law that can define who should bear how much responsibility! It can't be you, and it can't be me!"

How could an official named Qian dare to say anything?

It was in public, in full view of everyone, but the "law" hat made him afraid.

What frightened him even more was Bai Mingwei's ability and courage to speak his mind.

He didn't have to take the law seriously, but he had to worry about Bai Mingwei and couldn't let Bai Mingwei use the label of "law" to crush him to death.

Seeing that the official named Qian remained silent, Bai Mingwei turned his attention to the refugees.

Her voice was very calm, with soothing power: "I think you must understand that it was the flood that made you lose everything this time."

"And we are the ones sent by the imperial court to solve your problems, the ones who decide whether you can survive this disaster, and the ones who help you rebuild your homes."

"The two of us may have disparities in status and conflicts in positions, but it is definitely not this kind of life-and-death hatred. We are definitely not enemies!"

"If you put all your grievances on us, and if you don't agree with us, you will shout and kill us, we will have to pay the price with our lives!"

"Let me ask you, can the problem be solved by this?" After a pause, Bai Mingwei continued, "I just want you to understand one thing."

"That means we are your hope! Cooperating with us in disaster relief will pave a way for you to survive!"

"If one and two of us die, who will arrange the relief food? Who will distribute the relief money? Who will help you survive?!"

"Even if you lose everything, if this person is not the one who caused your suffering, he should not die because of your anger!"

After a few words, I broke them apart and crushed them into pieces.

The refugees had nothing to say.No matter how the imperial court had oppressed and exploited them, this disaster was indeed not caused by the official in front of them.

And disaster relief officials were originally the ones who came to help them.

If this group is gone, the court is still willing to appoint the next group, but can they wait until the next group of officials arrives?
Killing disaster relief officials means cutting off their livelihood.

If they don’t understand this, then they are really waiting to die!

At this moment, no matter whether they were convinced by Bai Mingwei's words or not, all they could do was to restrain their anger.

Seeing that both parties stopped talking, Bai Mingwei opened his mouth and asked what happened: "What happened? How did Mr. Qin get injured?"

The official surnamed Qian blurted out: "It was him who poisoned..."

Bai Ming glanced slightly, and the official named Qian immediately became silent and did not dare to speak.

The guard who was ordered to watch the man knelt down on one knee and described what happened:
"General, Mr. Qin just came to inspect the porridge situation. When he passed by this man, he knocked over his bowl."

"The man wanted to pick it up, but Master Qin kicked him away. He even grabbed the man's shirt and verbally insulted him."

"But then, he fell to the ground in pain and convulsed, vomiting black blood from the mouth! When I saw it, my subordinates knew he was poisoned, and immediately sent Mr. Qin to the doctor for treatment."

"The subordinates stayed to guard the man. Immediately afterwards, Mr. Qian came and wanted to kill the man and seek justice for Mr. Qin."

Of course Bai Mingwei knew that the truth was not as simple as the guard said.

However, she did not point it out, but looked at the refugees who were once filled with indignation:

"Do you have anything else to add? If there are any omissions in what this guard said, please add them truthfully. This general will definitely handle it in accordance with the law."

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you.

look at each other.

But no one stood up to add anything.

"That's what it is and we have nothing to say."

"Right, that is it."

"We all saw it, and it's exactly what he said."

"..."

Bai Mingwei nodded when he heard the words, and then looked at the official named Qian: "According to Dongling Law, officials beat and insult the people for no reason. How should we deal with it?"

The official surnamed Qian thought hard for a long time before he stumbled and answered: "According to the seriousness of the case, fines, rods, rods..."

Bai Yu, who had been watching from beginning to end, added loudly: "Depending on the severity of the crime, the fine will range from five months to one year, and the penalty will be ten sticks!"

Bai Mingwei asked again: "How will officials punish civilians who falsely accuse them of committing crimes?"

The official surnamed Qian trembled heavily.

Bai Yu spoke loudly again: "Depending on the seriousness of the crime, the fine will be one month to one year's salary and ten sticks!"

Bai Mingwei also asked: "What should be done if the common people hurt officials?"

Bai Yu responded loudly: "Depending on the severity of the crime, I can use anywhere from twenty to fifty sticks!"

Bai Ming nodded slightly, and then said with a golden voice: "What Master Bai just read was the article written into the regulations word for word by the ancestors of Dongling!"

"They belong to the national law and bind every Dongling person! Even if the emperor breaks the law, he is as guilty as the common people! It does not distinguish between high and low, and treats all Dongling people equally!"

"Just now, Mr. Qian asked the disaster relief officials whether their lives were their fate. Now I can seriously answer that the national law protects every Dongling person!"

"In front of the national law, the life of every disaster victim is also a life! If someone endangers the safety and life of the disaster victims, then he must be punished by the national law!"
