"Get out of the way. Tongzhou guards are here to do business. Please get out of the way. Otherwise, we will treat you as obstructing official business."
Soon the shouts of the communication patrol soldiers were heard not far away.
"Sir, please leave quickly. There are two words for official. It makes sense when you say it on the left, and it makes sense when you say it on the right. You'd better leave as soon as possible." The old couple said just now.
"It's okay. I want to see how, in broad daylight and with the world clear, what the left says is right and what the right says is right."
Zhu Youjian said.
Tongzhou is currently an important transit hub for the Ming Dynasty. Whether it is grain, grass, ordnance shipped to the north, or cattle and sheep transported from the north to the capital, Tongzhou is a necessary transit place.
As far as the Ming Dynasty is concerned, Tongzhou cannot afford to lose anything.
The garrisons in various parts of the Ming Dynasty should not have any problems under the four-fold mutual supervision of biochemical soldiers, royal guards, secret guards, and inspection troops.
Then the people who may have problems are the local gangs and the civil servants.
In this regard, Zhu Youjian wanted to take a look and see how much darkness there was under the so-called peaceful Ming Dynasty.
"This military master, they, they are the ones who ignore the laws and regulations of the court and beat us."
As soon as the guards arrived, a few scoundrels who were still lying on the ground groaning hugged the guards' thighs and shouted.
"Master, I wonder if these people are correct?"
Said the leading guard.
I despise these scoundrels from the bottom of my heart, but His Majesty has always advocated handling things in accordance with the law. Although these scoundrels are despicable, they are disgusting. But they didn't break the law.
"Yes and no."
Zhu Youjian answered.
"Young master, those who fight and stir up trouble. Ten of sticks. If there is an official status or title, it will be doubled according to the corresponding official status and title. If the master is involved, or the master's subordinates, it is because the other party takes action or is bullied by the other party. If you return the favor, it is a legitimate defense, and there is no need to bear any consequences."
said the leading guard.
"I think it's serious. It was these scoundrels who wanted to attack this young master and were beaten by his guards. Now they actually dare to complain first. It's really shameless."
Soon the people watching around him reacted. To put it bluntly, it was these scoundrels who made the first move.
It's not that these common people want to frame each other, it's that these scoundrels are really disgusting.
It can be said that the main thing Zhu Youjian said now is that these scoundrels will definitely be treated badly by these sergeants.
"This military brother, this is the first time I came to Tongzhou. After I came to Tongzhou, I saw these rogues..." Zhu Youjian briefly told the soldier the actual situation he had just returned from.
It's not that Zhu Youjian wants to protect these beasts, nor is it that Zhu Youjian is afraid of the people behind them.
But Zhu Youjian knew in his heart that he couldn't lie on this matter.
Listening to the people's words and letting these scoundrels be punished seriously can really please people's hearts.
But what Zhu Youjian hopes is that Ming Dynasty will exist forever.
If the country wants to last forever, public opinion must be taken into consideration, but the law cannot be ignored casually.
If the emperor of a country arbitrarily accuses others, can't he tell everyone that the law is a piece of shit?
Is it okay to ignore the law as long as you have a background?
As for public opinion, it really doesn’t matter here.
Legislation must refer to public opinion, and affairs must refer to public opinion, but the law cannot make concessions in the face of public opinion.
