Li Xiang and Ying Quliang had a candle-lit night chat. After their conversation, Ying Quliang walked out shakily, and Li Xiang left as well.
The impact of this huge wave was a little too great. After Li Xiang had stated the pros and cons, Ying Quliang was still in a daze, but the balance in his heart had basically been tipped over. As long as Wei Yang did not show any mercy, the matter would be settled.
On the second day, Uncle Black, who was sent out by Ying Quliang yesterday, had already found the clue of the private fight over water. With his martial arts, Uncle Black was not weak at all. He sneaked into the feudal lands of the noble clans and went to investigate them one by one. Luckily, he caught the chiefs of Meng, Xi, and Bai clans celebrating there. Wei Yang's destruction of the fields and opening up the fields gave the peasants a chance to become rich, but the interests of the noble families were undoubtedly damaged. Once their interests were damaged, those people would not sit still and wait for death. When Uncle Black learned that Wei Yang had returned and was talking to Ying Quliang, he immediately ran to Bai Shun and told him the news.
Although Uncle Black was only an attendant, he was an attendant who had followed the previous Qin Xian Gong all the way here. Naturally, he had high standards. He also knew that with just his words alone, not to mention the current law, even if it was the rule of the people in the past, it would not be able to convict the three clan leaders. Therefore, if he wanted to punish the culprit, he had to find another way.
Li Xiang, on the other hand, said that he only needed to know who the culprit was. He didn't need to personally make a move on Xiaoxiao and the other two. He just happened to have a method to show them.
Over at Ying Quliang's side, Wei Yang's determination had become the last straw that crushed him, but he still could not let go of one person.
"That White Camel Old Man is a truly kind person. Moreover, this Stone of National Shame was personally carved by him. He has made great contributions to the country!”Ying Quliang leaned against the table and said helplessly. "Yes, the White Camel Old Man is a kind person. However, in a night of private fights, this kind person actually beheaded Old Man Rong Di six times! Dare I ask the ruler, if the old man was a good person, then wasn't Rong Di a good person?”Wei Yang took the dossier that he had already investigated and opened it up.
" Sigh…" Ying Quliang sighed. Before Wei Yang came here, he had even prepared the execution ground. Clearly, there was no turning back. And as the monarch, he had to put reason first, no matter how much he was reluctant and uncomfortable.
Right at this moment, Uncle Black had also brought Li Xiang here, and told Ying Quliang and Wei Yang about the secret instigation of the Meng, Xi, and Bai Clan Chiefs, which had implicated all the clans. As expected, when Ying Quliang was about to call for his men to arrest the three clan leaders, Wei Yang stopped him, saying that he could not arrest anyone without concrete evidence.
However, the problem was that the three patriarchs discussed everything in a small courtyard. They would not be stupid enough to record everything down. There would be no evidence at all.
"Grand Tutor, what solution do you have? These three dogs caused me to reform the State of Qin, how can we let them get away with it!”Ying Quliang said with a headache. If it was his big brother Ying Qian, he would have gone to the door to chop people up with his sword, regardless of the consequences. "Of course, there is a way. May I ask if you want them to be punished according to the law or just punished according to the law?”Li Xiang smiled mysteriously and asked Wei Yang and Ying Quliang. "What's the difference between the two? Anyway, as long as they didn't have fun!”Ying Quliang had no time to care about these things. He slapped the table and said. "Wei Yang, do you still remember what I said before? Your technique is generally perfect, but there are flaws in the details?”Bai Shun turned to Wei Yang and asked.
"Please enlighten me, White." Wei Yang cupped his hands and asked. "Since the monarch only wants the three of them to be punished, then I'll use a method of 'entrapment enforcement'.”"Enforcing the law by fishing?" " That's ridiculous!!" Wei Yang didn't understand, but after hearing this, he was strangely angry. He felt that this was an insult to the law.
"Then may I ask, is the new law of the Qin State forbidding 'fishing for law'?”Bai Shun naturally guessed Wei Yang's rage, so he asked with a smile.
Wei Yang was speechless. How could this be a small flaw? Bai Shun was the only one who discovered it first. If it was used by someone else, the entire Qin State would fall into chaos.
"Shu Zhang Zuo, don't worry, you only need to use it this time. Why don't you immediately write this new law that forbids 'entrapment' into the law?”Ying Quliang tried to persuade him, but he did not say that he disagreed with Li Xiang's method. "You guys…alright." Wei Yang glanced at Li Xiang and Ying Quliang, and finally nodded.
The next afternoon, the three clan leaders of Meng, Xi, and Bai were thrown in front of Ying Quliang, their faces covered in dust. One of them was the one who had rewarded Bai Shun in the imperial court. The crimes these three people had committed were neither too high nor too low, and they were on the verge of being beheaded. Naturally, they were not convinced, and clamored that they were innocent. They even said that their clansmen would come to bail them out, and by then, even the king, Ying Quliang, would have no choice but to let them go. But unexpectedly, Ying Quliang did not have the time to play with these fancy things with them. He directly dragged them out and beheaded them, dismembering them into pieces. One had to know that Wei Yang's decree forbidding " entrapment " was about to come out. Once it came out, the three of them would be innocent, but the law-enforcer would be guilty. If they didn't kill them now, when would they?
These three clan leaders didn't understand why the King of Qin Country would suddenly have such great courage. In fact, the reason was very simple. Ying Quliang had only seen the dangers of the reform and the opposition of others, but he had forgotten and neglected those who supported the reform.
Only Wei Yang and Li Xiang supported the reform? No! Wei Yang dealt with this private fight and detained thousands of people at once. He even announced that he would kill 700 people. Other than the old aristocratic families causing a ruckus, there was no chaos in the entire Qin country!
What was the reason? This was because the commoners hated personal fights and killings. Everyone had a grudge and no one could live in peace! This was the will of the people. This was the determination of the old Qin people to seek the law and protect them! Small government affairs are in the court, not in the people, big government affairs are in the people, not in the court. It's not worth mentioning that the family is criticizing you.
