Many ministers were surprised to find that Lu Bu, who had not been seen in person for ten days and a half in the past, appeared in front of everyone very frequently recently, and took the initiative to visit the ministers of the DPRK and China.
You know, Lu Bu has been in Xuchang for half a year. In the past, everyone wanted to see Lu Bu but couldn't. This is definitely the first time he has taken the initiative to visit him like this.
Soon, the news that Song Xian's son Song Bin raped a civilian woman and accidentally killed her had spread throughout the streets.
If this kind of thing had happened under Cao Cao before, there probably would not have been such a big fluctuation, because as soon as the incident came out, the superiors would suppress it and minimize the impact. At the same time, most of the people had already
If you're used to it, there's no way there would be such a big movement.
But things are different now. While the New Deal has brought benefits to Lu Bu, it has also invisibly changed the people's attitude towards the powerful. In the past, they could only sigh inwardly and be helpless about such things, but now they dare to express their dissatisfaction.
Of course, it is impossible to go to the government offices to cause trouble. The New Deal has just begun, and the old concepts have not been eliminated, and they have been eliminated. Unless they have to, no one would dare to attack the government offices. If someone does it, it is either a fool, but the bigger problem is
It's possible that there is someone behind the scenes. If that's the case, it would be easier to handle.
But even if you don't say it, the loss of reputation is invisible. As Confucian monks, Chu Nan and Chen Gong have felt it the most in the past two days. Since Haoran Qi enjoys the blessing of popular support, naturally when public resentment arises, there will be backlash.
Of course, this little thing won't have a big impact, but it can't stop someone from secretly adding fuel to the fire.
"Zi Yan, this matter must be handled properly, otherwise it will have a great impact on the new law." Chen Gong was not prepared to ask about this matter. After all, Song Bin's matter was contrary to Chen Gong's philosophy, but when it came to Chen Gong's situation
, he understands that things in this world need to be the same as light, and not everything can be done according to one's own will.
The two masters and apprentices were walking on the street. Chen Gong probably knew that Lu Bu's family had been running away in the past three days, just hoping that these ministers would be noble and suppress the matter. They could give a heavy sentence but save Song Bin's life.
But even if it is a heavy sentence, it will have a significant impact on the new law.
"In this whirlpool of power, it's not scary to have no power, but what's scary is that you can't even control yourself." Chu Nan rubbed his temples. In the past three days, he had made many secret arrangements. The reason for these three
Days later, he was not trying to protect Song Bin, but for the next counterattack.
"I have done nothing to teach my son well, and he deserves to be punished for raising such evil deeds and harming people's lives!" The two were walking when they suddenly saw a crowd gathering in front of them, and a familiar voice came from the crowd.
Chu Nan and Chen Gong looked at each other and hurriedly stepped forward to clear the crowd. They saw Song Xian kneeling down in front of a couple and a young woman. His hoarse voice was heartbreaking.
"But in consideration of his young age, can we spare that evildoer's life and let him make amends for what he has done? We, the Song family, are willing to make up for it!" Song Xian said and kowtowed.
"General Song, we don't need to wait. Murder must be paid with life. This is the rule and law set by Marquis Wen. The life of the general's son is life, but the life of us untouchables is not life?" The old man looked at Song with red eyes.
Xian yelled: "My son is dead and my family's incense has been cut off. Even if I lose my life, I must seek justice for him!"
In the crowd, Chu Nan sighed, pulled Chen Gong, and the two quietly exited the crowd.
"There is someone behind this person!" Chen Gong said in a low voice after leaving the crowd.
Chu Nan nodded. The reason is very simple. Song Xian's attitude is already very sincere. This is not the future. According to the thinking of ordinary people, people cannot be resurrected after death. They can get a pension money, plus Song Xian admits his mistake.
No matter how sincere his attitude is, he will never be so decisive.
What's more, putting this aside, Song Xian may retaliate afterwards. After all, the huge status gap between the two sides is a practical issue that must be considered.
But the old man's attitude was determined not to leave any room for retreat. Judging from their age, they were only in their early forties, and they were fully capable of having another child. The money given by Song Xian was enough for them to live a more comfortable life and have another child.
Of course, it can also be regarded as an emotional inability to accept it, but within a few days, the emotion will not only dissipate, but will definitely be alleviated. Moreover, you can say that Sheng Dou Xiaomin has a bad background, but you cannot treat him as a fool.
It's strange that Chu Nan doesn't leave a way out for himself at this age. Chu Nan doesn't have the power to read minds, but there is a high probability that he will never see this person in Xuchang in the future. Someone will definitely pay more for them to tell this matter.
Stay the course.
The impact of the incident has been huge, and countless people are watching. It can be done hastily, but what will be hurt is the people and the system on Lu Bu's side.
This is someone giving them a question. Bao Songbin, on the New Deal issue, they have to make concessions. There is a precedent. No matter how perfect it is and how appropriate the reason is, it sets a precedent for the future. There will be ten, one
Hundreds, a thousand Song Bins appeared.
If Song Bin is not protected, cracks will likely appear within Lu Bu's forces. For Lu Bu's forces, which have just begun to formalize, internal divisions at this time will be fatal!
It may seem like a small matter, but it is a major event that can affect Lu Bu's power.
Therefore, Chen Gong asked him to handle it properly.
But how can there be a solution to both problems in this world?
All Chu Nan could think of was that hatred had been transferred.
Next, until the two parted ways without saying a word, Chen Gong was thinking about the solution to the matter, and Chu Nan was thinking about how to turn this matter from a bad thing into a good thing.
It's not impossible, he's already making arrangements, everything just depends on tomorrow!
There was no words all night. Early the next morning, when Chu Nan was about to go out, he saw Song Xian coming. He looked at Chu Nan with red eyes and said in a hoarse voice: "Zi Yan, Song Xian has never begged anyone in his life, you must be able to find a way!
Please, save Abin!"
Saying this, he bowed down.
"No, General!" Chu Nan quickly supported him. Looking at Song Xian's appearance, he sighed secretly in his heart and said, "Which family didn't agree?"
"I even knelt down and kowtowed..." Song Xian said with a sad smile: "Song has never been so useless in the battlefield in his life. For A Bin, I admit it, but..."
At the end of the sentence, I choked up.
"There is another way to ask your father-in-law to go to the palace and ask the emperor for a pardon edict!" Chu Nan looked at Song Xian and said: "But you can't pardon just one person, you have to find a reason to pardon the whole world. Brother Song is a capital crime, so it's impossible.
Free of charge, but at least you can save your life!"
"Yes, I'm looking for my lord, please help me!" Song Xian was overjoyed and quickly pulled Chu Nan and ran to the Lu Mansion.
Lu Bu didn't waste any time, and immediately rode the red rabbit horse straight to the palace to ask the emperor for an edict of amnesty.
Song Xian was overjoyed after receiving the edict, and quickly rushed to the Ministry of Punishments with the edict. However, when he arrived, Song Bin had already been beheaded in public.
Song Xian was furious and wanted to kill Man Chong, but Man Chong was consistent with the laws of the Han Dynasty and was almost invincible in Xuchang City. How could Song Xian be his opponent? Man Chong waved his hand and drove him back.
Lu Mansion, Lu Bu's eyes were sunken in the sockets, dark circles appeared, and his expression was a little sluggish. It seemed that he had worked hard in the past three days.
Wei Xu and others also came, all with gloomy faces and silent words, and the atmosphere in the hall was a bit gloomy.
"Lord, I want to kill Man Chong, and I must kill him! Avenge A Bin!" Song Xian knelt in front of Lu Bu and kept kowtowing.
"Man Chong cannot be killed!" Chu Nan shook his head and said.
"Why!?" Song Xian raised his head and looked at Chu Nan with red eyes: "Why can't he be killed!? If you hadn't made him the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, this would not have happened. You..."
"Pah~" Chu Nan ducked, appeared in front of Song Xian, slapped him down, and said coldly: "General Song, wake up!"
Before Song Xian could speak, Chu Nan pointed at Lu Bu:
"Look at your lord, do you think you are the only one who is heartbroken by Brother Song's death? My father-in-law has been to the Sangong and Jiuqing's mansions in the past three days. My father-in-law is a hero. Have you ever seen him compromise like this? Who is it for?
?”
Song Xian looked at Lu Bu blankly, and was stopped by Chu Nan's words.
Lu Bu: "..."
It was a bit embarrassing. In fact, he had not suffered any grievances. The three gongs and nine ministers would not openly humiliate him if they had no brains. There were other reasons for his appearance besides not sleeping for three days.
It’s not the son-in-law who is causing the trouble! It’s all the son-in-law’s fault!
Everyone also looked at Lu Bu, and then they realized that Lu Bu looked haggard.
"Of course you can kill Manchu!" Seeing that Song Xian's mood had stabilized, Chu Nan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "These Manchu ministers don't need anyone else. My father-in-law can kill them all with just one halberd."
You take revenge, but do you know why your father-in-law is willing to compromise and come to ask them for help?"
Song Xian shook his head subconsciously.
"Because this law was established by us. From Xuzhou to now, we have been able to win the support of all the people. All the way to here, not only did the soldiers sacrifice their lives, but also because the people supported us. Brother Song, it is easy to open a hole.
, but it is difficult to close this hole. Everyone can ask to open this hole, but we cannot open it ourselves!"
Chu Nan cleverly made this matter everyone's business: "Because these things today, including the laws enforced by Man Chong, were established by us, and the soldiers fought for them with their lives. All our military power now,
Wealth is built on this foundation, and those people are waiting to see our jokes! Now, because of your own selfishness, are you going to destroy all our efforts in the past three years with your own hands!?"
"The general... doesn't want to, but the general feels uncomfortable in his heart!" Song Xian lowered his head and said.
"Revenge can be avenged, but you have to find the right person!" Chu Nan helped him up and said, "In the case of Brother Song, the Ministry of Punishment's execution was in accordance with the law. This is true, but Brother Song's mistakes were guided by someone. Otherwise, even though Brother Song
Some are dandy, but they are also people who know the importance of things. How could they commit such stupid things!"
"What do you mean by Zi Yan's words? Who is harming my son secretly?" Song Xian suddenly turned around.
"These are the results of my secret investigation over the past three days. I originally wanted to use them as a threat to force those people to come forward and save Brother Song's life, but it's a pity that I can't use it!" Chu Nan sighed and told how Xu Changling guided Song Bin step by step.
, and then how some people manipulated and bribed the family members of the deceased...
I hope to update on time more than anyone else. It’s almost the end of the month. If I have to go on a business trip at the end of the month, I have to prepare at least two or even three days to save the manuscript. But sometimes this vicious cycle is 10%, and I feel a little powerless to get back to it. Although it’s almost the end of the month.
There is still some time, but even if you save one chapter a day, you will still get nine chapters in three days. Work hard and resume updates as soon as possible.
