Chapter 4 Misfortune and fortune depend on each other, and the road is true!
Ying Zheng looked at Qin Luoheng with his eyes straight. It took him a long time to calm down: "The imperial court will send someone to verify the information you said and investigate your life experience. You will be fine until the results of the investigation come out."
Qin Luoheng's eyes showed a strange color.
See the situation.
Ying Zheng frowned and said, "You don't want to?"
Qin Luoheng shook his head.
"I am naturally willing to find a relative for me if the imperial court helps me."
"But I have actually given up the idea of finding my relatives a long time ago. The time when I was lost was at the end of the Warring States Period, when wars and wars broke out all over the country. Trying to find relatives in these troubled times was like looking for a needle in a haystack."
"and......"
"Before the unification of the Qin Dynasty, there were different languages, different customs, and different living habits in different places. With the information I provided, I can't even determine the basic location. It's not easy to find relatives across the country."
"The Tao is always inactive, and there is nothing that is not done."
"Some things can just follow nature, there is no need to force it."
"If I guess correctly, these words are just excuses. You don't want to kill me."
Qin Luoheng's eyes showed a hint of cunning.
He continued:
"Although I have never dealt with officials in Qin, I have heard about it and know how officials in Qin work. Officials in Qin are always vigorous and upright in their work and do not care about personal interests. If they really wanted to try and judge the case, they would not spend so much money.
Mouth and tongue.”
Ying Zheng nodded: "You are quite smart."
Qin Luoheng smiled and said: "It's not that I'm smart. When you first came to the door, I was really frightened. I even wanted to run away. But when I saw that you didn't take action for a long time, I stopped.
Some speculation."
"After listening to everything you said, I completely calmed down."
"You have no intention of killing me."
Ying Zheng glanced at Qin Luoheng and said: "I really don't want to kill you, but the state has national laws, and all operations in the Qin Dynasty follow Qin laws. In the world, it is easy to convict a person of death, but you want to exempt a person.
The death penalty is difficult."
"Only the First Emperor of the Qin Dynasty can do it."
"And since you have committed multiple serious crimes, it is even more difficult to avoid the death penalty."
"Besides, you are still in Lishan Mountain."
"The Imperial Forbidden Garden!"
"Do you think I can convince the First Emperor?"
"Qin Shihuang?" Qin Luoheng's face changed slightly.
He doesn't know any of this.
In his habitual thinking, Qin officials have the power of life and death, and he was able to survive entirely because the middle-aged man stood up for him.
But what the middle-aged man said shocked him.
He has no right to interfere with the right of life and death!
Ying Zheng snorted coldly and said seriously: "The rulers in this world interpret the law too much and leave it to private discussion. This is why this country is in chaos... Therefore, the law is the balance of the country. The husband doubles the law and leaves it to private discussion."
I have discussed it, but I don’t know what kind it is.”
"This is the content in "Shang Jun Shu·Xiu Quan"."
"The Qin Dynasty enforces the rule of law. The laws of the Qin Dynasty are above everything else. Even the First Emperor must act in accordance with the law. The emperor does have the power of life and death for all the subjects of the Qin Dynasty. However, according to the laws of Qin, only when people break the law and commit crimes, the emperor will
Only then can we exercise the power of life and death against criminals."
"Only the emperor can exercise it!"
"Now you know who saved your life, right?"
"It's the First Emperor!!!"
After hearing what the middle-aged man said, Qin Luoheng realized it later.
He has been wrong all along.
He thought that the emperor was just like in the TV series, that he could decide a person's life or death at will, but he realized now that this was Da Qin, the first unified dynasty in history. Da Qin did have a lot of innovations in the system, but the overall trend of thought
It was still inherited from the Pre-Qin Dynasty.
However, the pre-Qin Legalists were not like later generations who blindly advocated unlimited monarchy. What they advocated was relying on "law" to limit monarchy, and they really did so.
At least this is the case in Qin.
Since Shang Yang's reform, the king must strictly abide by the laws. This has become a general consensus among the successive kings of the Qin Dynasty. Qin Shihuang unified the world. Although he violated the laws to a certain extent, he still abided by the laws on the whole.
At least that's the case for now.
Life and death.
Life is the privilege of the emperor!
Immediately, Qin Luoheng felt something was wrong.
He had no interaction with Qin Shihuang, so why did Qin Shihuang forgive him?
Firstly, he was a gangster, and secondly, he was hiding in the imperial palace. This was a serious crime. There was no reason for the First Emperor to exercise the power of life and death for someone he did not know.
"Why did the First Emperor let me go?" Qin Luoheng asked curiously.
Ying Zheng said indifferently:
"Because there were assassins in Lanchi that day."
Qin Luoheng was stunned.
He didn't know much about this.
But he reacted quickly and understood instantly.
The First Emperor must have been on a small trip that day, but somehow the news leaked out, and assassins attacked him on the road. However, he acted righteously at that time and solved the crisis. The First Emperor therefore acted extrajudicially and spared him the death penalty.
certainly.
He would not think that he had saved the First Emperor.
A person like the First Emperor who has been assassinated many times must have layers of protection around him. The middle-aged man was probably exposed intentionally by the First Emperor to attract hatred.
Qin Luoheng bowed in the direction of Xianyang.
See the situation.
Ying Zheng knew that Qin Luoheng would be wrong.
But he had no intention of explaining, and continued: "The First Emperor was merciful and forgave you the death penalty, but the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be forgiven. You are not allowed to leave Guanzhong until your true life experience is found out."
"According to the laws of the Great Qin Dynasty, your household registration is still classified as a 'private slave registration'."
"However, when the Guanzhong Dasuo is over, I will grant you permission to change your household registration once, but only this time. Daqin's household registration system is strict. Even I cannot change it for others at will. After this change, I have no power to change it again.
You changed your household registration, do you know?"
Qin Luoheng bowed his head.
"I understand, I can't let you take action for me again."
"It's a misfortune and a blessing. I originally thought that this move was motivated by motivation, but I never thought that it turned out to be a huge benefit. Not only did I get a favor from the First Emperor, I was exempted from the death penalty, but I also obtained a household registration. My descendants are already very contented.
"
"Thank you, Chief."
Ying Zheng's head: "Your basic information has been registered. Although there are still a lot of gaps in family information, it is enough to compile a simple file. In a few days, I will send someone to send the custom-made 'examination' from the government."
.”
"Guanzhong is in the period of big trouble. Don't go out casually these days."
"If something happens, I won't protect you."
Qin Luoheng said respectfully: "Thank you, chief official, for reminding me."
Ying Zheng nodded, turned and left.
After walking a few steps, he seemed to remember something. He stopped, turned his back to Qin Luoheng and said, "My surname is Qin."
After saying that, he strode away.
Qin Luoheng watched the Qin official leave.
When Chief Qin completely disappeared from sight, he slowly came back to his senses. He stood blankly on the spot, with an unreal feeling in his eyes.
"The household registration matter that I have been worried about has been solved like this?"
"Sure enough, it's a blessing and a misfortune, how can one know what to rely on!"
