Qiu Duan is a very special symbol of Huiyao's characteristic legal system. It is also a huge concession of the law to the "strong". It allows the strong to have a certain right of retaliation.
It is normal for criminals to be punished. Even powerful awakeners have no right of exemption from responsibility in law. They should be killed and imprisoned. But there is another situation: the relatives and friends of the offender are the strong.
Different humanistic societies will naturally breed different social ethos and public opinion trends. Naturally, the relatives of criminals on the earth rarely have extreme retaliation, because the power of the individual is far less than that of the collective, and there is not much gap between the individual and the individual.
But Huiyao is different. The strong awakener can crush ordinary people, and the survival ability of the strong is also extremely outstanding. There have been unjust, false and wrong cases in history, which led to the angry relatives of the prisoners sneaking attacks on all the people involved to death, including the framed nobles and ruling officials, and they have been at large. Finally, the court vindicated the wrong case and let the strong man stop - no one knows whether it is really a unjust case.
Although the strong can never shake the front army, it is difficult for the imperial court to solve the guerrilla war of killing one person for thousands of miles in the city.
Moreover, this kind of strong people is not the main problem. After all, there are not many strong people, and most of them will be incorporated by the imperial court. The real trouble is that many ordinary awakeners who practice war methods all over the world have a strong martial spirit. Most of them are hard bones who would rather not bend and do everything to avenge their relatives and friends. It is almost natural for them.
Yes, my father, uncle and Ji you did something wrong, but he died. I can't accept it. I'll kill you!
This idea can be recognized by the public. After all, Huiyao court can not guarantee its justice and strictness. For ordinary people, supporting these "righteous Avengers" is tantamount to reducing the chances of the court creating unjust, false and wrong cases. Everyone's ass is not crooked. Naturally, the atmosphere of "revenge" is getting stronger and stronger.
However, the officials of the imperial court were always so that revenge was not the way. Therefore, the imperial court compromised, or pushed the boat along the water, and made a public plan: Qiu duanfa.
According to the provisions of the hatred judgment law, prisoners' relatives can apply for a duel against their "enemies" in public only once and only one person‘ The "enemy" can surrender, but must make compensation or apology. In the duel, life or death, the hatred is written off after the duel, and the violator will be wanted by the imperial court.
It sounds incredible. How can the imperial court encourage prisoners' relatives to take revenge on officials?
However, legal interest is the basis for committing a crime, and ethics is the basis for committing a crime. In a society with the strong, ethics and legal interest will naturally change.
The introduction of the law of revenge greatly reduces the adverse impact of civil revenge. Because revenge can only be taken against the "enemy" without involving others, it can be recognized by the people. Naturally, the act of revenge and killing the whole family like before will no longer be sought after, but will be despised by the public.
Moreover, the law stipulates that Qiu Duan must be in public, so it turns the secret "revenge" into an open "Qiu Duan". No matter what happens, the official can quickly grasp the situation, so as not to be killed. The whole family does not know who they have offended.
More importantly, Qiu duanfa transferred the contradiction from the people and the court to the avenger and the enemy.
Whether the enemy is killed by the avenger or surrendered and compensated, it's none of the court's business. It's just that the enemy loses face, which has nothing to do with the court's face.
Facts have proved that Qiu Duan law has also completely reversed the social atmosphere. After all, the imperial court supports you for just revenge. If you sneak in assassination again, you will not be praised by others.
The court often publicized some "positive examples." for example, after the avenger of that county defeated the enemy, the case was vindicated; Although the avenger of this county was defeated by the enemy, the enemy took the initiative to kneel down and admit his mistake. The avenger was also aware of the mistakes of his relatives, and the two reconciled
In a word, revenge openly can not only be recognized by the people, but also encouraged by the imperial court!
"Where did someone make a judgment?"
"That man is from the statistics department!"
"What, did someone finally find someone from the statistics department to revenge?"
The lecture square in the morning was the busiest time. There were both businessmen setting up stalls and children waiting for lectures. As soon as the news of Qiu Duan came out, it immediately spread ten to ten, and the whole square became noisy.
The patrol guard in the square pushed the crowd in and suddenly changed his face when he saw Yue Yu. Although Qian yuliu doesn't wear a vest, his steel soled boots can't be fake. What's more, they know Yue Yu. Recently, the statistics department has a captain who likes to play cards and catch people while playing cards. They also heard a little about it.
"What are you doing here? Spread out!" scolded the patrolling guard. "Are you trying to gather people to make trouble?"
Gathering people to make trouble is a big crime. The next step is to 'gather people to rebel', but Lin Xue doesn't eat this set. Her voice slightly adds spiritual strength and clearly rings through the square: "we want to break up with Qian yuliu, and please patrol the criminal guard as a witness."
"Please patrol the prison guard as a witness!" people nearby said in unison, like thunder.
The patrolling guard's face showed embarrassment and looked at Yue Yu. His eyes seemed to say, 'we've done our best'.
Yue Yu looked up at Yao bell tower and said, "there are 17 minutes left."
He paused: "there are still 17 minutes to go to work from the statistics department, and it takes me three minutes to walk. I don't want others to break the agreement or break the agreement with others about eating your salary and being loyal to you. Therefore, in the next 14 minutes, let's end all this."
"Let me see what Mr. Lin's proud apprentice has." Yue Yuyun said quietly, "are you going together or fighting in wheels?"
There is a pitiful point in the revenge method, that is, although it limits the avenger to find only one person for revenge, it does not specify the number of Avengers - yes, group fighting is also allowed in the revenge method!
However, when the enemy saw that he could not fight, he could surrender decisively and apologize and lose money. However, the avenger lost his only chance of just revenge.
Therefore, Qiu Duan method is actually a gentleman's method. If both sides are gentlemen who pay attention to face, Qiu Duan method will be meaningful. Everyone will end hatred in a war.
But if both sides are shameless, there is no point in hating and breaking the law - if you dare to beat me in groups, I dare to kneel down and beg for mercy.
Although I lost someone, you lost your father and grandpa's friends!
"Although I really hope I can wash away my father's shame," Lin Xue took a deep breath and said, "but qianyuliu, you are indeed a talented and immoral generation. I dare not say that I can defeat you alone. Therefore, please allow me, GAOJIN and xialinguo wheel to go out of the war and break off their kindness and hatred with you!"
Speaking of this, Lin Xue's face showed some shame, including the shame of putting forward the wheel battle and the hatred of Qianyu, but more importantly, he hated his incompetence!
If she can defeat qianyuliu alone, why should she ask for a three person round battle? But in order to inherit her father's last wish, she can only do this shameless thing!
Lin xueti didn't mention what qianyuliu would pay after the victory - if they won, they had plenty of time to scold qianyuliu; If she doesn't win, how cruel she is now and how miserable it will be to be beaten in the face at that time.
Yue Yu glanced at the three people in front of him.
Lin Xue, needless to mention, when Lin Jinyao's only daughter went to school, Qian yuliu regarded Lin Xue as his sister. The results proved that all Qian yuliu's sister would be the opposite of Qian yuliu.
Gao Jin is also an old acquaintance. He has a smelly mouth and speaks loudest. However, he looks like a dog. He looks like a hot-blooded and sunny youth. He seems to be the president of the student union in the military academy. Lin Jinyao often praises this disciple with Qian yuliu.
Xia Linguo, Yue Yu noticed him at this time. On the night of Lin Jinyao's death, he was also in the yard and taken away by the statistics department. However, he was silent and didn't like to talk. Even if he wanted to break off with Yue Yu, he didn't speak. He just looked at Yue Yu silently. His appearance looked like a clever face, but Yue Yu vaguely felt his threat.
Lin Xue, Gao Jin, Xia Linguo
Sure enough, they came to me and broke their revenge.
In other words, the white night's traitor is among the three of them!
