Tang Dynasty: The poisonous scholar in the Eastern Palace, please abdicate and let the wise one take

Chapter 105 The law does not punish the public
Cuihua's maternal instinct made her step forward without hesitation and block Su Chen's knife. Perhaps this matter was doubtful, but why were there Acorus calamus that was enough to make a person unconscious in their bamboo baskets?
In addition, with the presence of the renowned genius doctor Sun Simiao, it would be easy to tell whether Zhang had given birth to a child or had milk. How could they fake it?

After the lie was exposed, Wang Xiaobai and his wife fell silent.

The onlookers, the victims and the police, did not tolerate them and pushed them down into the mud one by one with great force.

If it weren't for them, we would still be busy building the river embankment. If it weren't for them, why would we have to search the area within a radius of hundreds of miles?

"What else do you have to say?"

After confirming that Wang Xiaobai and his wife were lying, Li Chengqian also became tough.

A pair of phoenix eyes kept scanning Wang Xiaobai and his wife, as if he was considering what kind of punishment should be given to them in order to relieve his hatred!
A prince with a great reputation was almost fooled by a peddler couple!

If this matter gets out, where will the prince put his face? !

"Your Highness, please spare my life..."

Wang Xiaobai had a sad face and lost his previous stubbornness. "It's true that my husband and I miss our son so much that we want to take Huzi with us to raise him."

"Ok?"

Li Chengqian frowned, "What excuse are you looking for? No matter what the excuse is, it is not an excuse for you to steal someone else's child!"

"Wang Ren!"

"The subordinate is here."

"What is the crime for stealing someone else's child according to Tang Dynasty law?"

Wang Ren thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, anyone who sells another person's child as a slave will be hanged, and those who sell children as slaves will be exiled three thousand miles."

Li Chengqian frowned and looked over, "Stealing a child?"

Wang Ren sighed, "Those who steal children as wives, concubines or offspring will be sentenced to three years in prison."

"How can they be so cheap?"

Li Chengqian was furious.

If you steal someone's child, you can only go to jail for three years?

Fortunately, I found it. What if I hadn’t?
Isn't that a bargain for them?

Wang Ren: "Your Highness, the law is based on how they treat children. They did steal Tiger, but when they were leaving, Your Highness saw through them and arrested them, so..."

Li Chengqian interrupted Wang Ren with a cold face and waved his sleeves, "Let me ask you, if Hu Zi was taken away by them, what would happen?"

Wang Ren: “This…”

"Say!"

"According to the rules of the broker, I'm afraid it will have to be sold to a childless family. If it's hard to sell, I'm afraid..."

Wang Ren didn't say anything else, but everyone present understood the result.

"But Your Highness, they didn't sell the child in the end!"

Wang Ren said in a deep voice, "Even if Your Highness wants to deal with the two of them, you must act according to the law. Please think twice!"

"you……"

Li Chengqian was immediately angry.

He had made it so clear, but Wang Ren still wanted him to follow the law.

"Wang Ren, are you going to favor the two of them?!"

"it's not true!"

Wang Ren remained calm and said, "I am only following the law. I hope Your Highness will forgive me."

"If it were someone else today, I would still act according to the law!"

Wang Ren treated each word as a law and thought twice before speaking. Even Li Chengqian, who was angry, quickly realized that something was wrong.

Looking at Wang Ren, who had a serious face and enforced the law impartially, Li Chengqian suddenly understood something.

He is the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty and should set an example and be a supporter and advocate of the law.

We cannot ignore the law and act solely on our own pleasure in public because of our own selfish desires.

Su Chen smiled and bowed, saying, "Lord Wang, I admire your impartiality in enforcing the law."

Wang Ren glanced at him, and Su Chen continued, "Your Highness, Lord Wang is right. Please think twice."

Although Li Chengqian understood what they meant, he was still a little angry. "Then tell me, what should we do about this?"

Wang Ren: "Act according to the law."

Li Chengqian rolled his eyes.

The officials and victims showed dissatisfaction.

They stole children and only got three years in jail?
That's too cheap for them!
In contrast, Wang Xiaobai and his wife looked happy.

Three years in jail is better than having your head chopped off!

"Lord Wang is wise!"

"Lord Wang is wise."

In response to the praise from Wang Xiaobai and his wife, Wang Ren just snorted coldly and did not respond.

in this way.

Instead, it made many disaster victims even more annoyed.

Su Chen looked at the unhappy victims with a smile, "Lord Wang enforces the law impartially, and is a role model for all officials. It is admirable."

"But, I, Su Chen, am just an ordinary person."

"If anyone hurts my relatives, I will fight them to the death."

"I think everyone feels the same, right?" Everyone nodded.

Su Chen said again: "Everyone has seen this with their own eyes. If your child was stolen, what would you do?"

"Kill her!"

"Kill them!"

"We can't let such a scourge like them go!"

Without any hesitation, everyone present, whether victims or officials, were filled with indignation.

The person who was stolen today was an ordinary disaster victim family. Will their children be stolen in the future?

As a parent, this is the situation we worry about the most.

Yu Er simply picked up the hoe and shovel and smashed them at Wang Xiaobai and his wife.

Wang Ren hurriedly said, "Quick, stop it! You are committing a crime!"

The people who took action seemed to hear nothing.

More and more victims joined in. Wang Ren stamped his feet anxiously, muttering, "What are you doing? This is a crime," but he never took a step forward.

They even stepped back unconsciously to avoid being accidentally injured by these emotionally excited victims.

"Lord Wang, help me!"

"Lord Wang..."

The cries for help from Wang Xiaobai and his wife became weaker and weaker, and more and more miserable.

Just as Wang Ren was about to step forward to take a look, Wu Canjun quickly blocked his way and said, "Lord Wang, this is the will of the people. We cannot go against it."

"Master Wang, please think twice. It would be disastrous if you get hurt because of these two thieves..."

Wang Ren: “…”

You don't think I'd go up to protect them, do you?

It only takes a moment.

Under siege by a group of people, Wang Xiaobai and his wife died on the spot.

Yu Er stood in front of everyone with great righteousness, "Lord Wang, this incident was caused by me. Everyone killed them with good intentions. I, Yu Er, am willing to be punished."

"We killed the man together. If you want to arrest someone, arrest all of us!"

"Yes, arrest us all!"

"I just don't believe that after we killed a gangster, the government will chop off our heads!"

Wang Ren was so angry that his face turned red and he pointed at everyone and couldn't say a word.

What did the officer say?

Didn’t I just let you do it and teach them both a profound lesson?

A dog bites Lu Dongbin, but it doesn’t recognize a good heart!
Wang Ren angrily swung his sleeves and left. When he passed by Su Chen, he glared at him hatefully, "You poisonous scholar!"

If it weren't for Su Chen's provocative words, how could these people have attacked and beaten Wang Xiaobai and his wife to death?
You have taken all the good reputation, and I have become a bad guy!
"Master Wang, please don't talk nonsense."

Su Chen cupped his hands and said, "It wasn't me who ordered them to kill the two agents. It was everyone who was filled with righteous indignation and couldn't take action."

"If Lord Wang is dissatisfied, he can just arrest everyone. Why are you accusing me of something without reason? Be careful or I will sue you for defamation!"

Wang Ren: “…”

He wanted to arrest someone, but could he arrest someone in this situation?
The people in front of him were all disaster victims, and they were also Yu Er’s neighbors.

A group of people helped to catch the mechanic, and out of anger, accidentally beat him to death!

What is this called?
This is called not holding everyone responsible!

If he really caught someone, everyone could spit at him to death.

Besides, he had never thought about arresting these people.

But as a governor, he should act according to the law. The victims can ignore the law, but he cannot, and neither can the prince!
As long as they act according to the law, as for these disaster victims killing people...

This is the public opinion. What can I do as an official?

"Forget it."

Li Chengqian said with a smile, "Sir Wang, the man has already been beaten to death, why are you still talking about this?"

"Come here, come here, take these two bodies and bury them. Don't let them remain here to disgust others."

"Yes!"

Several guards carried the bruised and battered body away.

puff.

Yu Er and his wife held Hu Zi in their arms and knelt on the ground, "Thank you, Your Highness, and thank you, Master Su!"

Li Chengqian smiled and waved his hand: "No need to do that, no need to do that."

Su Chen pointed at Wang Ren and said with a smile, "The person you should thank the most is Lord Wang. If Lord Wang hadn't shown mercy, you might not have been able to beat them to death."

Wang Ren's face suddenly darkened.

Just knowing it is enough. Do you have to tell it out? Then what did I do just now?

"Thank you, Lord Wang!"
