My younger brother Lü Fengxian

Chapter 112: Dharma Rectification
After Lu Yi's law was promulgated, everyone looked at each other in confusion.

It's not that the laws are too heavy, but that they are too light.

Just a few basic fundamental laws.

Therefore, it is easy to be known and remembered by everyone.

The decrees he promulgated can only be described as lynchings, not laws at all.

Moreover, it cannot be used outside Jiuli River, and may not even be usable in Jiuyuan Pavilion.

However, now the Han Emperor Liu Hong himself took the lead in the charge and sold official positions and titles like crazy.

This leads to rotten wood being officials in the temple and beasts eating the food between the steps of the palace; people with wicked hearts and dog behavior are in power, and servile and fawning people are in power.

The Han government’s national credit had begun to inevitably collapse, and with it the collapse of order.

But humans are social animals. The lack of order and restraint will inevitably cause some people to expose the darkness and bestiality in their hearts.

Therefore, even the most extreme order is better than no order at all.

Therefore, the power to make laws, the power to execute laws, and most importantly, the power to interpret laws began to shift to the aristocratic families and powerful clans.

Each dock is a closed little society, completely self-sufficient, where people can live a good life without any communication with the outside world.

The result is that the common people only know their own family head but not the emperor.

He only knows the family rules but not the national laws.

Even if these clan leaders do not become local lords in the future, they will at least be powerful generals under the lords.

Therefore, although Lu Yi established his own laws, it was not a decision made on a whim.

Other noble families and powerful clans had already started doing this, and they did it more thoroughly than Lu Yi.

They established private punishments and strictly controlled the words and actions of tenants and domestic slaves within their sphere of influence. They often tortured them severely, and in some cases even executed them on the spot and hung their bodies for public display to intimidate the people.

"If you are not satisfied with the rules I announced, you can raise them! I can let you go!"

Lu Yi looked at everyone with a deep tone and a serious expression.

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment when they heard this, but no one questioned it.

First of all, they were either Lu Yi's servants or recruited refugees.

The former has no freedom to leave Lu Yi, and the latter has no motivation to leave Lu Yi.

They were originally at the bottom of the Han society. Without Lu Yi's military force and power to protect them, even if they left Lu Yi, what awaited them would either be even more harsh exploitation or starvation to death.

Secondly, Lu Yi's agreement was only the most basic one, and it was in line with their demands and safety. Therefore, except for a few criminals kneeling on the ground, everyone else was happy to facilitate it.

"Very good..." After a long time, seeing that no one questioned it, Lu Yi nodded with satisfaction.

"Since everyone remains silent, I will take it as your consent."

"The law has been agreed upon, and today's matter should be carried out accordingly!"

"These people raped women in broad daylight. Even though they are my Lu family's slaves, I, Lu Yi, will never protect them."

"However, the matter has not been thoroughly verified yet, so we cannot act lightly."

"I want to temporarily imprison these people, and then carry out the corresponding punishment after the truth is revealed!"

As Lu Yi spoke, he turned to look at the girl's parents for advice.

"I wonder if the two elders can accept it?"

"Everything is up to the chief shopkeeper."

After hearing this, the girl's parents looked at each other and had no choice but to thank Lu Yi.

Although they wanted to castrate these scumbags right now, Lu Yi's proposal was reasonable and they could not refuse.

"Let's do it!"

"Fengxian, you take this man away and put him under guard first. Gao Shun and Cheng Lianru should investigate carefully."

"As for the others, just do your own thing!"

Seeing that the situation was under control for the time being, Lu Yi pinched his nose with some effort and waved to everyone. "Yes!" Lu Bu and others immediately took the order and left.

Order was quickly restored in Jiuli River.

The guys kept training.

Luwu continued to build.

The servants continued to farm.

Although the nature of the incident is bad, the process is very simple and the right and wrong are also clear.

After a day of investigation, the evidence of the crimes committed by several scumbags was solid.

So, the day before Lu Yi was about to go to Mayi with Jia Tong to meet Zhang, he reconvened all his men and held a public trial and execution of these criminals.

"With all the evidence and witnesses, what else do you have to say in your defense?"

After following a simplified trial process and before the verdict was announced, Lu Yi asked the three criminals at the front of the crowd who had been tortured by fear and terror and were no longer human.

"Master, we all plead guilty."

"Just considering our hard work for you, can you forgive us for waiting this time?"

"As long as you are willing to spare my life, I will repay your kindness for the rest of my life!"

Faced with irrefutable evidence, they could only lower their heads and plead with Lu Yi.

"If I had known today, why bother?"

"You also have families. If your family members were tortured like this, would you be willing to let the perpetrators go?"

Hearing this, Lu Yi sighed and asked back.

After hearing this, several people fell silent.

Guilt, fear and regret kept interweaving on his face.

"Oh my! Why did I get so obsessed that I committed such a wicked act? Now I can't even be a servant. I deserve to die!"

One of the cowards was so scared that he wet his pants. He kept cursing himself and regretted it deeply.

However, they no longer have the chance to regret.

"Since you all plead guilty, you should be put to death according to the law."

"But according to custom, you can be allowed to die of fullness before the execution."

Lu Yi said this and waved to the guards who had been prepared.

Immediately, several people came forward with chicken, duck, fish, meat and wine.

To be on the safe side, Lu Yi did not allow anyone to untie the ropes that bound them, and directly let several guards feed them one by one on the spot.

But in the face of death, even if the delicacies from land and sea were in front of them, these prisoners could not eat.

Half an hour later, when Lu Yi gave the order to finish, they had not eaten much.

The crowd watching felt sympathetic when they saw this. Many of them had the same idea as these people. Seeing that the refugees were helpless, they were ready to do evil. Fortunately, they were one step too late, and the plan was only an idea and was not carried out.

Otherwise, there would probably be a few more people kneeling here waiting to die today.

"Hahaha, you bunch of traitors have finally met your end!" Only the father of the victim girl looked sated. He pointed at the pale-faced criminals and cursed them with gritted teeth.

"The time has come, the execution begins!"

At Lu Yi's command, several guards came forward and held down the prisoners. The executioner, who had been prepared for a long time, also stepped forward immediately. After taking aim for a while, at Lu Yi's urging, he ended the lives of these villains with a few consecutive cuts.

The few people who served as executioners for the first time were all new recruits.

Lu Yi selected a few of the most courageous ones and forced them to act as executioners, so that they could get their hands on blood and build up their courage.

After all, waste is meant to be recycled!
