Your Talent Is Good; It’s Now Mine Chapter 26: Who is the ghost
Qiu Duan is a very special symbol of Huiyao's characteristic legal system, and it is also a huge concession of the law to the "strong", which allows the strong to have a certain right of revenge.
It is normal for criminals to be punished. Even powerful awakeners have no legal immunity. But there is another situation: the relatives and friends of the perpetrator are strong.
Different human societies will naturally breed different social ethos and public opinion trends. The relatives of the perpetrators of the earth will naturally rarely show excessive revenge, because the strength of the individual is far less than that of the collective, and there is not much difference between the individual and the individual.
But the radiance is different. The powerful awakener can crush ordinary people, and the strong survivability is also extremely outstanding. In history, there have been unjust, false and wrongful convictions, which caused the relatives of the prisoners to attack all the people involved in the case in anger, including the framed nobles and officials who ruled the case, and they have been at large. The attacker stopped - as to whether it was really an unjust case, no one knows.
Although the strong can never force the frontal army, if the strong are playing guerrilla warfare in the city, killing one person and ten steps without leaving, the court will also have a hard time solving it.
Moreover, this kind of unworldly powerhouse is actually not the main problem. After all, there are not many powerhouses, and most of them will be included in the imperial court. The real trouble is that there are many ordinary awakeners in the world who practice fighting techniques. They are strong in martial arts, and most of them are hard bones who would rather not bend. It is almost natural for them to avenge their relatives and friends.
That's right, my father/uncle/grandfather/friend did something wrong, but he died, I can't accept it, I'm going to beat you to death!
This kind of thinking can be recognized by the public. After all, the glorious court cannot guarantee its fairness and strictness. For ordinary people, supporting these "righteous men of revenge" means reducing the chances of the court making unjust, false and wrongful convictions. Everyone's butts are not crooked, and the atmosphere of "revenge" will naturally become more and more intense.
But it's not a solution for the court operatives to be revengeful like this, so the court compromised, or in other words, they resorted to a trick: the law of revenge.
According to the provisions of the Enemy Judgment Law, relatives of prisoners can apply for a confrontation against the 'enemy' in a public place, the number of times is limited to one time, and the object is limited to one person. The 'enemy' can surrender, but must make compensation or apology, regardless of life or death in the duel, the hatred will be written off after the duel, and those who violate the order will be wanted and hunted down by the court afterwards.
As incredible as it sounds, how could the imperial court encourage relatives of prisoners to take revenge on officials?
But legal interests are the basis for incrimination, and ethics are the basis for guilt. In a society where there are strong people, ethics and legal interests will naturally change.
The introduction of the law of revenge has greatly reduced the bad influence of civil revenge. Because only one person can take revenge on the 'enemy', without involving other people, it can be recognized by the people. Naturally, the act of revenge and killing the whole family like before will no longer be sought after, but will be spurned by the public.
Moreover, the Qiu Duan Law stipulates that Qiu Duan must be in a public place, which turns the secret 'revenge' into a public 'Qi Duan'. No matter what happens, the official can quickly grasp the situation and prevent the whole family from being killed. I don't even know who I've offended.
More importantly, the law of revenge transfers the contradiction from the people and the court to the avenger and the enemy.
Whether the enemy was killed by the Avengers, or surrendered to compensate, it has nothing to do with the court, it's just that the enemy himself has lost face, and it has nothing to do with the court's face.
Facts have proved that the law of hatred and judgment has also completely reversed the social atmosphere. After all, the imperial court supports you in taking just revenge, and if you sneak up on assassinations, you will naturally not be praised by others.
The court also often preached some 'positive examples'. For example, after the avenger in that county defeated the enemy, the case was rehabilitated; although the avenger in this county was defeated by the enemy, the enemy took the initiative to kneel and admit his mistake, and the avenger also realized The two of them reconciled after seeing the mistakes of their relatives...
All in all, taking revenge in an open and honest way can not only be recognized by the people, but even encouraged by the imperial court!
"Anyone out there for a vengeance?"
"That person is from the Statistics Division!"
"What, did someone finally find someone from the Statistics Division to take revenge?"
The lecture square in the morning was the busiest time. There were both merchants selling stalls and children waiting to give lectures. As soon as the news of Qiu Duan came out, it was immediately spread, and the whole square was noisy.
The guards in the square pushed through the crowd and entered, and his expression changed when he saw Le Yu. Although Qianyuliu doesn't wear a vest, his steel-soled boots can't be faked, not to mention that they recognize Leyu-the Statistics Division recently released a captain who likes to play cards and catch people while playing cards. They also heard a little bit about it. .
"What are you doing here? Spread out!" the patrol guard scolded, "Are you trying to gather a crowd to make trouble!?"
Gathering a crowd to make trouble is a very serious crime, and the next step is 'gathering a crowd to rebel', but Lin Xue didn't want to do this, her voice slightly added spiritual power, and clearly resounded through the square: "We are going to fight against Qianyu Liu. If you don’t, please also ask the patrol guard as a witness.”
"Please also ask the patrol guard as a witness!" The people nearby said in unison, their voices like thunder.
The patrol guard looked embarrassed and looked at Le Yu, his eyes seemed to say 'we have done our best'.
Le Yu raised her head and looked at Yao Bell Tower, and said, "There are 17 minutes left."
He paused: "There are still 17 minutes until the work time of the Statistics Department, and I need 3 minutes to walk. I don't want others to violate the agreement, nor do I want to violate the relationship with others. , so in the next 14 minutes, let's end it all."
"Let me see, Mr. Lin's proud apprentice, what skills does he have." Le Yu said calmly: "Are you going to go together or fight on wheels?"
One of the pitfalls of the Qiu Duan Law is that although the Avengers are restricted to find only one person to carry out the Qiu Duan operation, there is no requirement for the number of avengers - yes, group fights are also allowed in the Qiu Duan Method. of!
However, when the enemy sees that they can't beat him, they can surrender decisively. The big deal is to apologize and lose money. However, the Avengers have lost their only chance for justice and revenge.
Therefore, Qiu Duan Fa is actually a gentleman's method. If both sides are gentlemen who pay attention to face, then Qiu Duan Fa will have meaning. Everyone hates after a fight.
But if both sides are shameless, there is no point in revenge - if you dare to beat me, I will kneel down and beg for mercy.
Although I lost someone, what you lost is your father/grandfather/friend!
"Although I really hope that I can wash away my father's shame~IndoMTL.com~ Lin Xue took a deep breath and said, "But Qianyu Liu, you are indeed a talented and unvirtuous person, and I dare not say that I can do it alone. beat you. Therefore, please allow me, Gao Jin, and Xia Linguo to take turns to fight, and we will end our feud with you! "
Speaking of this, Lin Xue's face showed a bit of embarrassment. Not only was she ashamed of proposing a wheel battle, but also she hated Qian Yuliu, but more importantly, she hated her own incompetence!
If she can defeat Qianyu Liu alone, why should she ask for a three-round battle? But in order to inherit her father's last wish, she could only do this shameless thing!
As for the price Qianyu Liu will pay after the victory, Lin Xueti did not mention it—if she wins, they will have time to scold Qian Yuliu; if she doesn't win, how ruthless she is now, and she will be slapped in the face at that time. How miserable.
Le Yu glanced at the three in front of her.
Lin Xue, needless to mention, Lin Jinyao's only daughter, Qian Yuliu regarded Lin Xue as her younger sister when she was in school, and it turned out that all Qian Yuliu's younger sisters would inevitably turn against Qian Yuliu.
Gao Jin is also an old acquaintance. He speaks the loudest, but he looks like a dog. He looks like a hot-blooded and sunny young man. He seems to be the president of the student union in the military academy. Qian Yuliu praised the disciple.
Xia Linguo, Le Yu only noticed him at this time. The night Lin Jinyao died, he was also in the yard and was taken away by the Statistics Department. However, he has always been taciturn and did not like to talk. Even if he wanted to break up with Le Yu, he did not say anything and just watched Le Yu silently. Yu, his appearance looks good and handsome, but Le Yu faintly senses his threat.
Lin Xue, Gao Jin, Xia Linguo...
They really came to me for revenge.
In other words, Bai Ye's traitor is among the three of them!
