If you punish without teaching, then the punishment will be complicated and evil will prevail; if you teach without punishing, then the traitors will not be punished.
For this group of fox prisoners, as long as they did not commit the irreparable mistake of killing eighteen people after being poked into the cave, Gong Mengbi did not kill them and gave them a chance to reform.
In the past, there was no education and no law. After Gong Mengbi came, education flourished and the law was upheld.
Internally, we strive for opportunities for Yehu and open up promotion channels. Externally, we promote the changes in Taishan Empress’ beliefs and improve the external atmosphere.
A multi-pronged approach turned the tide of the whole Wuning County around, and the foxes no longer only looked at things like flies and dogs.
These fox prisoners were enlightened and indeed repented. This can reduce the sentence.
On the whole, of course, they are all for the better, so their sentences can be reduced. But there are differences between individuals. Some are driven by the outside, lack motivation, slack in practice, and have unclear breath, so the sentence cannot be reduced too much.
Some who are proactive, recognize their mistakes, sincerely repent, and devote themselves to spiritual practice can reduce their sentences.
What's more, this commutation will directly restore freedom. There is no doubt that these fox prisoners are all fox charms who have made mistakes but their faults are not serious, and they are sincerely repentant, such as the lustful fox Xue Nianjiao.
There is no doubt that the name was changed later.
Before I read the book, foxes had various names. Some of them were named after their brothers, such as Wang Wu; or they overlapped very closely, such as Hu Mei, Hu Meiniang, or even Hu Jiao. That's right, among this group of foxes, there are several foxes with the same name as Gong Mengbi's classmate Hu Jiao.
After studying, they became proficient in writing and writing, and their personalities developed. Some foxes changed their names, such as Caiwei, Li Dayun, and Xue Nianjiao.
After Gong Mengbi announced that the fox prisoners headed by Xue Nianjiao had regained their freedom, the fox prisoners stood stunned on the spot. Of course, in imagination, I hope to regain my freedom as soon as possible, but in reality, I don't dare to expect it to come so quickly. I was overjoyed all of a sudden, hugging my head and crying.
Gong Mengbi said: "Take off your prison uniform, remove your name from the gold slips, and start studying with other foxes from tomorrow."
Those fox prisoners who were not active enough immediately had their eyes red. I used to think that the sentence was too long, so I would simply let it go. Now that someone has successfully commuted his sentence, he is free immediately. How can he sit still now?
Gong Mengbi couldn't see through their thoughts, and said: "The sentences for the rest of you have also been re-determined. As long as you sincerely repent, devote yourself to practice, and make meritorious deeds, I will re-sentence you again today next year."
"You foxes who have regained their freedom must remember the rules of the fox. You must not be arrogant or slack off. If you make a mistake again next time, you will not let it go so easily."
All the foxes agreed.
Gong Mengbi only hopes that today next year, these fox prisoners will be able to take off their cages and regain their freedom.
Although the fox prisoners can be driven, what Gong Mengbi wants is not a group of yes-men, but truly outstanding talents among the foxes.
After the foxes retreated, Gong Mengbi thanked Empress Taishan and the Jade Fairy Goddess seriously.
The empress is his benefactor, and her spirit is always there. Ever since he entered Tianhu Courtyard, she has blessed him with everything going well and without any major setbacks.
The goddess is his boss and his mentor, and getting her to give him a letter is tantamount to expressing his stance. If someone wants to use some sinister means against Gong Mengbi, they must carefully consider whether they can hide it from the goddess and whether they can afford to take the risk.
Conflicts and disputes do not come from private places. Gong Mengbi does not think he will lose to others in an upright and upright manner.
After some ideological education from Gong Mengbi, there were so many foxes on the slope that they were tossing and turning, making him unable to sleep all night long.
There are also those who fall asleep with dreams in mind, such as Xue Nianjiao who just got free, or Hu Xin Xiaoqi who has constant nightmares.
The night wind howled, carrying a smell of blood that was not clear whether it was fragrant or smelly.
The flames spread in the village, and it was unclear whether the sound of burning wood or the sound of crying echoed in Xiao Qi's ears.
The general of Jiaozhi, wearing leather armor, knelt at Xiao Qi's feet and spoke in a language he didn't understand, but Xiao Qi understood what he meant.
He was saying: “Thank you God’s envoy, thank you God’s envoy!”
Confusion flashed in Xiao Qi's eyes, and he looked around. It seemed that a fierce battle had just occurred here.
There were corpses everywhere and rivers of blood.
Xiao Qi looked at his feet. He was standing on a fallen elephant. This elephant has white tusks and big ears, and its body is covered with black scars pierced by its tusks, and it has lost its vitality.
The blood flowing from the elephant's body seemed to have a slight smell of sandalwood, which should be a fragrance, but Xiao Qi smelled a foul smell.
There was also a corpse wrapped around Xiao Qi's tail. This corpse was wearing a yellow monk's robe, half of its arms were exposed, and all the muscles and bones were broken. It was strangled to death by Xiao Qi.
Xiao Qi flicked his tail and the body fell to the ground. Xiao Qi's breath seemed to be ignited by such blood and fire, almost boiling.
The general of the Jiaozhi Kingdom paid homage: "God's envoy, the leader of the Eight Hundred Daughters' Country has sued for peace from the leader of our country. We don't have to fight anymore in the future."
As soon as Xiao Qi's tail moved, he suddenly leaned forward, stretched out his hand to grab the general, lifted him up high, and asked coldly: "No more fighting?"
The general was trembling all over and said: "We have won..."
Xiao Qi felt violent in his heart and wanted to tear the general to pieces, but seeing the fear and humiliation in his eyes, he suddenly let go of his hand, causing him to fall to the ground and said: "So you are here to see me off? "
The general kowtowed repeatedly, crouched in a ball, and did not dare to speak.
Xiao Qi took a deep breath, feeling the graceful blood in the air and the sweet whine coming from the wind, and was filled with nostalgia for a moment. His aura was disturbed as a result, and scales kept coming out of his exposed skin.
It wasn't until he thought about it for a moment that he recovered from the violence and unwillingness and said, "Let's get started."
The general was overjoyed and shouted quickly: "Send the envoy!"
A large amount of precious spices were ignited, and the aroma seemed to cover up the smell of blood in the battlefield, as well as the dazzling light and heat of the flames.
Xiao Qi took a deep breath and inhaled the aroma into his body, gradually feeling a sense of peace and joy.
His murderous intention gradually disappeared, and his violence gradually receded.
He stretched his body, and his whole body turned into a huge green snake, carrying only the human head and face, and swam into the deep mountains riding on the scent.
The generals and soldiers of the Cochin Kingdom sang strange songs, which seemed to be songs to send farewell to the gods.
They knelt on the ground and piously prayed that the messenger of the snake god who protected them would leave, and they would worship the snake god forever, so that the temple of the snake god would always be lingering with the aroma of spices, and the totem of the snake god would always be on the land of Cochin. shine.
"Ah!" Xiao Xin sat up from the bed suddenly, breathing heavily to drive away the dream demon in his heart.
He pushed open the door and saw the fox fairy in red standing in front of the altar in the courtyard with his hands behind his back, with a gentle smile, as if he had been waiting for him for a long time.
