Chapter 174 Monsters
From death penalty to exile
In the lobby of the Jinchengfang mansion, Li Ang clenched his fists when he heard the news, and then let go.
"sorry."
Li Leling spoke like a gnat.
"nothing dealing with you."
Li Ang smiled wryly and waved his hand,
Discuss relatives, discuss old friends, discuss meritorious persons, discuss capabilities, discuss meritorious service, discuss nobles, discuss Qinqin, and discuss guests.
The eight-discussion system first originated from the Eight Pieces of the Western Zhou Dynasty. It was formally included and implemented in the "New Law" of the Cao Wei period, and has continued to this day.
After Changxiang County King voluntarily died, Li Shenbin, who inherited the title, received a reduced punishment, which is completely in line with Yu Law.
only
"Those servants who assisted him in committing crimes and covering up crimes were all convicted of felonies.
The worst of them, that is, the coachman who advised Nie Shilei to frame him for him, was sentenced to hang. "
Li Ang was silent for a while, and suddenly asked: "Le Ling, have you heard of "Journey to the West"?"
"Um?"
Li Leling was stunned for a moment, although he didn't know why Li Ang asked such a question, he still replied: "Is it the novel adapted from the story of Yu Chu's eminent monk Xuanzang's Story of the Western Regions?"
"yes."
Li Ang nodded, and said lightly: "There are all kinds of monsters and ghosts in the story, and their endings are different.
On Thorn Ridge, the tree spirit, who was harmless to humans and animals, was directly beaten to death for no reason because of 'fear of becoming a demon and hurting people in the future'.
In the Tongtian River, the king of inspiration who only eats boys and girls was taken away by pleading because he was a goldfish in the lotus pond of Guanyin Bodhisattva.
In the Lion and Camel Country, the Dapeng Golden Winged Eagles, who devoured all the men, women, old and young in the city, saved one life because of their relationship with the Tathagata.
Bhikkhu Kingdom, the White Deer Essence, which tricked the king into using the hearts and livers of 1,111 children as medicine, was brought back to the sky because it was the mount of the Antarctic birthday star.
In addition to this, there is also the dragon of Heishui River,
The Golden Retriever of Zhu Ziguo,
The golden and silver corners of the Lianhua Cave in Pingdingshan.
Little ghosts and monsters without background, if you kill them, you will kill them.
On the contrary, it is a big demon with vile crimes. Because of his relationship with the gods and Buddhas in the sky, he can escape punishment for various reasons and return to heaven to enjoy happiness. "
“.”
Li Leling was speechless. The Golden Horn and Silver Horn King of Lianhua Cave is the boy who guards the golden furnace under the Taishang Laojun, the Taoist Heavenly Venerable.
And one of the incarnations of the Taishang Laojun is Lao Tzu, who is the current ancestor of the Li Yu royal family.
Li Ang’s words are so directional, if the people in the palace hear them, they can ask him, “What are you implying? Who are you mocking? What is your purpose in saying this?”
“.Just treat me as gibberish.”
Li Ang smiled, stood up, and walked outside.
In the study, Chai Chai is still studying hard,
On the street, there was a lot of traffic and pedestrians, and it was a bustling and lively scene.
The prosperous and peaceful state of Yu, and the academic palace that practiced the world and slayed demons and demons, are real.
Nie Shilei and Meng Ying who died in vain, and Li Shenbin who escaped the death penalty are also true.
"Once upon a time there was a mountain where lived the King of Golden Horn and Silver Horn"
Li Ang hummed the inexplicable ditty in his memory, leaning against the courtyard wall of the mansion, looking at the street view of Chang'an.
tick-tick—
At an angle that no one could see, a drop of ink slowly seeped out of the sole of his shoe, and fell into the gap in the stone cover of the canal.
The moss stretched into a thread, drifting east along the water.
——
"Old Man Nie, did you come to Dongshi so early today?"
"Your Dalang just left some time ago, and you are now setting up a stall, isn't it?"
"Stop saying a few words, alas, what is all this?"
On the streets of Dongshi, in front of the stall with some bamboo products, a group of familiar neighbors were gathering, looking sympathetically at the old man Nie and the woman sitting on the small wooden bench.
Old man Nie had a humble expression, lowered his head, and said something vaguely in his mouth.
"To live."
"My son is gone, and I still have a daughter to support."
"Please make room for me, I still want to do business."
In contrast, Nie Yuhuan's expression was more numb.
She was sitting on a small wooden stool, looking down at her dusty shoe toes in a daze, and the empty bamboo flower basket was placed beside her feet.
Tap-tap-
The sound of dense footsteps from far to near,
A group of guards in the uniform of Dali Temple escorted a prisoner in shackles to Dongshi.
This group of people saw Old Man Nie, and Old Man Nie also saw them.
Among the guards, Zou Han froze in place. The order from his superiors was too hasty, asking them to **** Li Shenbin out of the city before evening, and travel day and night to the place of exile.
Now passing through Dongshi, the purpose is for Li Shenbin to go to Xingningfang, to see the king of Changxiang County who voluntarily died, and to show his filial piety.
It's just that Zou Han didn't expect that old man Nie would end Nie Shilei's funeral so early and appear here.
“.”
Li Shenbin was wearing heavy shackles and slightly dirty prison uniform,
He noticed the old man Nie who subconsciously stood up in the distance, the corners of his mouth slowly raised, showing a victorious smile.
"Haha, hahaha."
The smile turned into a big laugh, even tears came out.
Li Shenbin wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand, and coldly urged the guards of Dali Temple who stopped beside him, "What are you all doing blankly, why don't you send me to Xingningfang."
He no longer cares about the eyes of others. After the death of King Changxiang, he became an unfilial and unrighteous person who forced his own father to death. Even among the relatives of the clan, he no longer had a foothold.
I can never go back to the days of luxury and lust.
But what does that matter?
Even if he loses his status as a son of the clan, the rich inheritance his father left him is still his after all.
Even if you are a rich man in a remote state capital, you are a hundred times better than a penniless commoner, or those dead people.
Li Shenbin walked into Dongshi with a smile under the guard of the guards.
Old man Nie subconsciously took a few steps forward and walked towards Li Shenbin, but was stopped by his neighbors, Zou Han and other Dali Temple guards.
Li Shenbin's exile punishment was issued by the emperor himself. To stop at this time is to disobey the emperor's order.
"Calm down, you calm down first!"
Zou Han shouted loudly to stop old man Nie from rushing forward.
Maybe Old Man Nie’s expression was too angry. An officer picked up the scabbard at his waist and slapped him **** his chest, knocking him down to the ground, clutching his chest and moaning in pain.
Neighbors in the neighborhood hurriedly leaned over to check on Old Man Nie's injuries, and there was another flutter.
Li Shenbin, on the other hand, had an indifferent expression, walking forward on his own, as if this drama had nothing to do with him.
“.”
Nie Yuhuan raised her head, looked at Li Shenbin who was passing by in front of her, clenched her small palms tightly, her nails dug deep into the flesh of the palm, and blood oozes out.
The breeze blows, and the locust trees sway silently.
