Lu Yan stood on the high platform and could see at a glance that there were many so-called chivalrous people below. As he glanced around, he noticed Nian Duan's unique temperament.
Hmm? This woman seems familiar.
Duan Murong was originally staring at Lu Yan, but when she saw that he seemed to be looking here, she was startled and looked away with a guilty conscience.
Lu Yan's eyes did not stay on Nianduan. He glanced around and continued: "The second article announced today is that from now on, private fights are prohibited. Murders and fights will be treated lightly according to the severity and impact.
In some cases, they may be punished by doing hard labor; in severe cases, they may be punished by physical punishment, or even worse, they may be executed directly.”
"Ding-Deng-Deng"
A group of soldiers ran out from under the high platform and formed an array with swords. A group of prisoners in prison uniforms were pushed over, followed by a group of executioners with broad shoulders and round waists.
"What?! This is going to happen!"
"You're not going to kill someone, are you?"
"This is the East Market. This, this is too unlucky."
There was a commotion among the people. The faces of those who were excited just now because they could receive the reward turned ugly.
"Master, does he want to be here -"
Duan Murong looked at the torture knife held by the executioner and clasped her hands together in front of her body. The fearful, desperate expressions and shouts of those being held made her feel unbearable.
Nian Duan did not respond to her this time, but looked steadily at both sides of the platform. There were some people wearing official uniforms there, but they had not shown any signs yet.
“Private fights can cause minor injuries, such as loss of hair, broken skin, bruises, and severe injuries, such as broken ears, noses, lips, broken finger bones, and other non-fatal injuries.
These two types, according to the degree of physical injury, include two-year-old punishment, four-year-old punishment, and four-year-old punishment. If a weapon is used during a private fight, ranging from long swords to iron swords to wooden sticks and fine needles, the crime will be increased.
Wait.
If a fight resulted in death, he would be cut in half in the street. It will be like this right now."
Lu Yan gave the order, and the soldiers below pushed down a row of criminals, and the executioner began to prepare for execution.
Many people were afraid of this bloody scene, but no one dared to run out on this occasion.
Some of the rangers gnashed their teeth secretly, some were directly panicked, and a few cast their hateful gazes above.
"In Handan County, the blacksmith Hammer killed the customer who took the longbow because of price changes on a certain day of the month. The fatal wound was a sword wound, and the killer was punished by abandoning the hammer."
"A Bing, a ranger from Yan Kingdom, had a sword fight with Lao Qi, a ranger from Handan, on a certain day in a certain month. He destroyed the restaurant and killed the shopkeeper.
Lao Qi, a knight-errant from Handan, and A Bing, a knight-errant from Yan State, were both sentenced to abandonment."
"On a certain day in the west of Dabei City in Handan, an old beggar who was a knight-errant and a Qi Shang guard started fighting and used sharp swords to cause leg and arm injuries. The old beggar was originally sentenced to four years of age in Guizhou. For the crime of sharp swords, he received an additional one degree and was sentenced to death.
.”
"……,death penalty."
"……,death penalty."
Lu Yan knew by heart what these people had committed and how they should be punished according to the law. In his cold and ruthless statement, the executioner below raised his knife.
"No, it was that person who insulted me first, and then I took action. I didn't mean to kill anyone! I was wronged~"
"Spare your life, spare your life~"
"Lu Yan, you are looking down on human life!"
"The people of Qin are cruel. My ancestors of Zhao, you have seen it, please show your spirit~"
In the crowd, a ranger couldn't help but move his feet, "Oh~ damn the Qin people!"
The person next to him grabbed his hand in time and said, "Don't be impulsive. Are you going to die?"
With one sentence, his companion's mind cooled down, and he warned: "Not only are the Qin troops here, but there are also killers in the net. You must not act rashly."
"Hmph...these are all bloody men from our Zhao country, and they were treated like this by Lu Yan, a thief..."
Lu Yan could only feel disgust at the evil and tragic behavior of these people. With a wave of his hand, he slashed down with the Qinggan Sword and said, "Execution."
The machete penetrated the flesh and made a small sound when it touched the bone. Then a stranger's head was sprayed with blood and rushed out, rolled to the ground and rolled twice, and stopped moving at all.
When the people present saw such a scene, their faces turned pale with fright, and they swallowed saliva tremblingly.
Even though Duan Murong had been following her master to treat the injured and patients, she had never witnessed such a bloody scene with her own eyes.
"Lu Yan..."
She looked up again, trying to see even the slightest pity or regret in Lu Yan, but unfortunately she didn't.
"Master, is he really a healer? How could he be like this?"
Nian Duan also looked at Lu Yan standing above her, but compared to her disciple, her expression even seemed a little relaxed.
"Rong'er, I taught you before that hearing is false and seeing is believing. Now I want to tell you that what you see with your own eyes is just a perspective, not the truth."
"What I saw with my own eyes was just a perspective, not the truth." Duan Murong frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "Master, I don't understand."
"Then use the next time to figure it out."
"……Um."
This simple execution ground was removed, and the officials below the high platform who had no role to play for the time being began to post legal provisions on how to deal with private fights.
Lu Yan said to the shocked crowd: "Everyone says that there are many generous and tragic people in the land of Yanzhao, and many knights have been born here since ancient times.
And how many of these people who were just executed were knights? What contributions did they make to the country? Did they ever protect ordinary people who did not know martial arts? Fellow citizens, you can think carefully about what kind of people these knights are.
All along, it was you who grew the food, and it was those frontier men who received the food and paid the wages and defended the country. These rangers who are not engaged in production, what on earth did they do?!"
As soon as the voice fell, someone drew his sword out of its sheath.
"You are deceiving the public with your evil words! Lu Yan, you shameless person! All Zhao people, don't be fooled by him!"
"Since Changping, we, the people of Zhao, and the people of Qin, have been at odds with each other~"
Among a large group of people, there were only two people who were not afraid of death, or in other words, they were crazy.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The Qin soldiers guarding them were about to arrest someone, but Lu Yan signaled them not to move for the time being.
He looked at the two Zhao Xia with interest, invited each other with his hands, and amplified his voice, "You two dare to stand up and refute me, you must have something to say. The people of Handan are here, you two can be proud.
Tell me what you have done for the country and the people."
The people around them consciously made space for the two of them, and looked at them with eyes full of different emotions.
"We act chivalrously and punish evildoers. Aren't these our contributions?"
"Punishing rape and eradicating evil, except what kind of rape and evil, whose name is it, and what bad things has the other person done?"
"this……"
"These are the great achievements that made your rangers become heroes. You must have forgotten them, right?"
"How is it possible! We..."
"You can't tell! You are not engaged in production. If you want to survive, you have to join the family of a noble person. And if there is no noble person to take care of you, you would rather wander than cultivate even an inch of land. You can still eat and you can still
Drink, hold a three-foot sword in your hand, just to get something for nothing!"
Lu Yan became more and more excited as he spoke, and the green sword in his hand shone brightly, "Who knew it would be painful to go to the side court? Even if I die, I will still smell the fragrance of a hero's bones."
The sword movement carried his strong spiritual will, creating a scene of this battle with the Huns for everyone present.
No matter the people of Qin or Zhao, what sacrifices they made to protect the land and relatives behind them.
There were 150,000 people, and more than 70,000 people were buried in the north.
"They are the ones who can be called chivalrous. Every Zhao soldier in the border army will be awarded a title and fertile land according to the Qin army's merit system. The acres of Zhao land are being remeasured, and this promise will be fulfilled soon. I
