I have a magical tree

When Taizu was still alive, he sent Da Gao to the countryside. If the people had any grievances, they could even go directly to the imperial city and complain to the emperor in person.

Moreover, Taizu said that if someone is wronged, officials along the way will not only not be able to stop him, but they will also be escorted along the way. The person who has been deceived will be killed and punished for treason. In the most serious cases, the clan may even be executed.

The cruelty of his laws made officials all over the world say: treat the common people as brothers and feet, and treat the officials as enemies!

This is also the reason why after Taizu Long conquered Bintian, the officials privately celebrated with their foreheads and hands. Because this emperor takes the people too seriously! It was so important that officials in high positions felt it was unfair.

Just as Taizu said, it’s better to cry as a family than to cry together!

However, Taizu has been thousands of years away from now!

There is actually a great imperial edict preserved in this village!

Liang Zuo himself had great respect for Taizu and Dagao, and used Dagao to regulate himself everywhere, but he was still shocked when he heard the news, or in other words, it was because of this that he felt shocked in his heart.

Some people couldn't feel it, such as the group of officials behind him. Compared to Liang Zuo's moving expression, their faces were too cold. Instead, there was some confusion and confusion.

Liang Zuo said with difficulty: "Grandma, the imperial edict is useless!"

If Taizu were still alive, the power of the imperial edict would be no less than that of the royal envoy. But now, what's the use of Da Gao? Even he, who admires the use of imperial edicts to rule the world, knows that imperial edicts are useless!

No one wants to go back to that era, not to mention the sects and families in the world, the officials in the court, and even the emperor.

The old woman nodded, "I know it's useless, it's been useless a long time ago! We enshrine it in the ancestral hall, just to let future generations remember that there was such a time."

She looked at Liang Zuo again, "Then, in front of Da Gao, tell me the truth, who is the person who killed hundreds of people in my Keling Village?"

I don't know when several women and children entered the ancestral hall and took out a book with a bronze cover.

This is the imperial imperial edict. Thousands of years have passed since its publication. However, this imperial imperial edict may be the best preserved that Liang Zuo has ever seen.

There is no patina on the cover, but a soft glow. This requires careful wiping every day to do this.

Liang Zuo almost subconsciously took the imperial edict and opened it. Inside was a paper made of a special material, which did not rot when exposed to water or melted when exposed to fire. It was like gold but not gold, and had a flexible feel.

The content above was different from the imperial edicts he had seen before, because one was an official version and the other was a civilian version.

The difference between the two is not that there is any difference in content, but that the civilian versions are all in vernacular, with many colloquial sayings mixed in. It is hard to imagine that these contents will appear in the imperial imperial edict, but it is true!

"Tell us! If I didn't know, I would never die in peace!" The old woman sighed softly. She knew about this official Liang Zuo.

This is a high-ranking official from the city, who is more noble than the county magistrate of the state and county. He has actually been here several times. At that time, she was not so old, but now she is no longer able to do so.

However, she still remembered that this was the only official who mentioned Taizu's imperial edict here. He is also the only official who does not change his color after hearing Taizu's decree and does not avoid him like a snake or a scorpion.

Therefore, she invited this imperial edict.

Liang Zuo closed the royal imperial edict and rubbed it gently with his palm. After a long time, he said: "There are two people who committed such crimes. One of them is the master of Linghe Temple in the county. Linghe Master, one of them is Yan Chengdao, the young master of the Yan family in the county!"

"Are these two very powerful?"

"Grandmaster!"

"Oh, Grandmaster! No wonder they were no match, but they were all dead in less than an hour!" The old woman said calmly and terrifyingly, "What else?"

"The father of Yan Chengdao, a double master of the Yan family, is a second-grade grand master!"

"Okay! I understand!" The old woman nodded, "You can leave! Take them away!"

Liang Zuo was stunned, "Why?"

The old woman shook her head, "Let's go, listen to me, young man!"

Liang Zuo also shook his head, "No, although I am unable to avenge the people who died in vain in Keling Village, I still want to stay here. All the young people in the village are dead. If we leave again, what will happen if the village is in danger? Who will come? Protect you?"

"We don't need protection, we have the ability to protect ourselves!" The old woman's attitude was very resolute, "Hunter, do you remember what I just said, there are two treasures in this ancestral hall, and now we have to bring out the second one!"

"I showed you the first treasure, and you can even take it away if you like it, but I can't let you see the second one."

The old woman stuffed the big imperial edict into Liang's left hand, "I can see that you are a good person! If you were in Taizu's time, you would have been a good official, and maybe you could even become the prime minister!"

Hearing this, Liang Zuo became more and more uneasy, "What on earth are you going to do?"

Then he looked at the women and children behind the old woman. Except for the ignorant children, everyone was so determined and fearless. But that was why he was worried.

"Don't think too much. We are not stupid. Since we are not strong enough to take revenge, we will not die. Besides, there are so many children in the village! It is a small matter if we die, but they are still young and don't understand anything!"

The old woman sighed, "Now we have to send the dead men in the village to the ancestral hall, and then let everyone remember these two people. If we can't take revenge, then let our descendants do it. One generation can't do it. Then it will take two generations. If two generations don’t work, then it will take generations.”

"Didn't you say that? They are all masters, they should be able to live for a long time, right? They can afford to wait, so why can't we wait?" A smile appeared on the old woman's face, with unprecedented determination.

These words finally made Liang Zuo feel at ease, "Grandma, don't worry, I won't just let this matter go. Even if you can't get revenge, I will help you when I have the strength!"

"I believe it!" The old woman nodded, "Let's go! Sacrifice at the ancestral hall, outsiders are not allowed to be present!"

Liang Zuo hesitated for a long time, but finally nodded, because the old woman was not talking nonsense. It is true that no outsiders should be present when offering sacrifices to the ancestral hall.

The family gods only recognize people of their own sect and clan. The presence of outsiders will cause the family gods to riot and even cause bloodshed!

Liang Zuo took the royal imperial edict and left with a group of officials. Which officials were in front, he walked at the end. When he reached the entrance of the courtyard, he stopped again. After all, he couldn't hold it back, "Grandma, I The Lord of Heishan Prefecture is a rare righteous person, maybe..."

The old woman smiled and nodded, "I understand, thank you very much! Young man! Let's go quickly!"

She waved her hand, signaling Liang Zuo to leave quickly.

At this time, other women and children had already begun to work together to carry the coffin.
