As the saying goes, love the house and the crow, hate the rest.
The Tengu and the embroidered shoes were involved in stealing and robbing. In the mind of the Mohist Juzi Qin Huali, their master Fan Ju's character must also be lacking.
Feeling in his heart that Fan Ju had lost the face of his teacher Gui Guzi, Qin Huali pondered for a moment and spoke.
"The law of 'redemption' originated from Yao and Shun. Although we, the Mohists, do not agree with it, we will not disobey the sages."
"Anyone who steals or robs will be exempted from punishment if he pays ten times the amount of the item!"
In ancient criminal law, criminals were allowed to pay a certain amount of property to offset their punishment. This system was called atonement.
The atonement originated from the legendary Yao and Shun era.
"Shang Shu Shun Dian" says: "Gold is used as atonement."
In judicial practice during the Warring States Period:
When there are doubts about the circumstances of the case and cannot be clarified, when there are difficulties in convicting and sentencing, and when it is impossible to confirm that the perpetrator has "good intentions and evil deeds," Mo, Gu, Gao, Gong, and Dapi can all be deducted in gold.
The most famous one is the case of Sima Qian:
Sima Qian was sentenced to death by castration. He could have redeemed his sentence with money, but his family was too poor to redeem himself.
Sad, deplorable!
Hearing that they were expected to be freed from the crime, Banlaer Tengu and Embroidered Shoes hurriedly begged loudly.
"Please also ask Prime Minister Fan to show mercy and save us!"
"If we can escape today, we would rather be like cows and horses and try our best to repay the kindness!"
Today's Fan Ju is also "riding a tiger but can't get off". He ignores the two young thieves who begged for help, but softly asked the war giant who escorted them.
"I would like to ask General, where is the thing stolen by my useless subordinate? How much is it worth?"
The war giant turned to ask Qin Huali for instructions. Seeing that the latter nodded in agreement, he made a move with his giant hand in the distance and spoke in a low voice.
"What the thief stole is one of the highest achievements of my Mohist: arrows raining down like rain!"
"This thing can fire thousands of arrows in an instant, and it can penetrate armor within five hundred steps!"
After the war giant finished speaking, he saw eight wooden oxen pulling a large and exaggerated chariot.
In the car, a battle formation machine comparable to a small mountain shone with cold light.
The most eye-catching thing is the densely packed heavy arrows on it, which are as thick as an adult's thigh.
The heavy arrow is engraved with various talismans:
Armor-piercing, blast, sharp gold, explosion, dark thunder, blazing flame...
Not to mention the war machine itself and the heavy arrows made of ebony, these talismans alone are valuable!
Fan Ju even suspected that even if he dismantled the embroidered shoes and sold them in pieces, he wouldn't be able to get back an arrow from the war machine...
How much money does it cost to buy this one?
Not to mention having to pay ten times the fine!!
You must know that just now there were just three "useless" wooden donkeys, and they almost beat the half-assed boy to death!!!
Fan Ju and Xu Fu even doubted that if they really agreed to use their own virtues to save the two tengu, they would disappear immediately without even a chance to become a fool!
At this thought, Fan Ju looked at the Tengu and his companions with increasingly cold eyes.
Two ignorant beasts, what on earth were they thinking?!
It’s just like a pig brain with a human head!
What is the difference between openly robbing in Mexico City and soliciting customers from the police station with a special profession?!
Picking up cow dung with a lantern - are you courting death?!
Besides, even if you want to steal, just steal something smaller!
Such a terrifying war machine, even if no one cares about it, you two idiots still can't move it!!!
Ants steal elephants?!
The dung beetle grabs the shot put?!!
The more Fan Ju thought about it, the angrier he became, and he let out a cold snort.
"Tengu, I have tried so hard, even at the expense of my own energy, to transport you two into Daozang. How did you tell me?!"
The Tengu was immediately panicked when he heard this, his eyes averted and he answered softly.
"The Prime Minister reminded me: After entering Daozang, you only need to arrange the eight positioning stakes, and then come out immediately."
"Because... because we are consuming your opportunity and luck every moment..."
Fan Ju became even more angry when he heard this. He waved his sleeves and stopped looking at the Tengu and embroidered shoes.
"Just remember!"
"But how did you two do it?!"
"Not only did they not set up positioning stakes to lure us in, they became greedy and only focused on looking for treasures themselves, and caused such trouble!"
"Now you want me to save you again?! Ha, ha!"
After Fan Ju finished speaking, he turned to face the Mohist Juzi Qin Huali with a serious face and a businesslike look.
"The juniors are not strict in their discipline, so these two beasts have offended the majesty of Mo City!"
"Senior please handle it according to the law and don't worry about the face of the junior!"
Although I'm not ashamed of Fan Ju's tendency to change his mind faster than flipping through a book, his words spoke to Qin Huali's heart.
The future giant of Scratch is full of flowers. If this half-hearted bad dog is not severely punished, where is the dignity of the Mohist family!
Thinking in his mind, the Mohist Juzi Qin Huali ignored Fan Ju and said to Chen Daji with a smile.
"Young general, since Prime Minister Fan is so 'aware of righteousness', I will let you deal with these two thieves!"
"I have a word of warning: the punishment just mentioned is only the minimum limit."
"As for the upper limit... the young general can decide on his own!"
"No matter what the punishment is, all of us in Mocheng will give our full support!"
