Becoming a Saint by Leisure Reading - Chapter 776

[Chapter 752 Extralegal Jurisdiction?]

“Water area governance?”

Chen Luo sat in the flower hall of Duke Anguo’s mansion, listening to Hai Rui’s report, frowning.

“What the hell is this? Why don’t you know the true face as a biased face?”

Hai Rui also had a sad face, and explained: “Back to Zhu Kingdom, the government of this water area was originally unknown to the lower officials. After the teacher’s guidance, I just found the root cause in the records of the Spring and Autumn Hall.”

“This statement comes from “The Rivers and Rivers of the World” written by the Ren Dynasty.”

Chen Luo was taken aback, Ren Chao?

That’s long enough.

Hai Rui, as the seed of a famous minister, naturally would not miss anything. He had already prepared all the materials when he came to report the matter to Chen Luo.

Hai Rui handed Chen Luo a jade slip and said, “This is the original text of “The Rivers and Rivers of the World” that I found in the Spring and Autumn Hall. Please read it to Zhu Guo.”

Chen Luo took the jade slip and swept it away , suddenly his face darkened.

“The world is not the world of the human race. The human race lives in it temporarily. It should be thought of good, not evil. Today, there are rivers, rivers, lakes, and seas in the world. Heavenly creations are naturally generated, and they are not habitable by humans. Show me the way of tolerance of the human race, and make good friends.”

“Human race lives on land, and aquatic people live in water, why? The way of heaven is perpetual, and this is an act in accordance with the sky.”

“Water is not beneficial to my human race, but it can be done. The place where the aquatic people live, why should we cherish it?”

“Besides, China has initially decided that the demon clan will go south, and there may be a day of counterattack. The river network in Shenzhou is criss-cross, and the aquatic tribe is used as a barrier for our human race to keep away the demon race. Isn’t it true that our human race is more numerous? One million troops?”

“Measure the waters of China and form an alliance with the water tribes.”

“This is a strategy of great benefit but no harm, I beg you to think carefully.”

“Hmph!” Chen Luo snorted coldly and put down the jade slip .

What a “world is not the world of the human race, the human race lives in it temporarily!”

What a “measure the waters of China, form an alliance of the water race”!

What a well-known speech skill, this kind of tone made Chen Luo sick after ten thousand years.

Could it be that the Divine Continent was directly given to the human race by the Dao of Heaven?

This is what the ancestors of the human race did with rags, inch by inch!

An inch of rivers and mountains and an inch of blood, life and death meet each other.

The mountain is sad and the heroic spirit is crying at night, and the water is stained with blue blood and the river is red!

You told me to live temporarily?

Pooh!

It has belonged to my race since ancient times!

On racial issues, you can be rational, but never neutral!

Although Shenzhou is large, there is no place that is redundant!

Humans in the water area are not suitable for living?

I put it there, plant lotus, dig water chestnut, I am happy!

If it is not livable today, what if it will be livable tomorrow?

Seeing Chen Luo’s uneasy expression, Hai Rui explained (arched) and released (fired) again: “Who wrote this memorial is unknown, but it was not accepted by the court at that time.

” At the end of the Human Dynasty, there was a crocodile-dragon aquarium who took advantage of the jihad of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism to live in a large lake. At first, they said that they had offended the Yuanhai dragons, so they took refuge temporarily and rented here.”

“Later, they directly bribed the local people. The officials rented the big lake as a mountain forest, and have settled in the lake ever since.”

“This move has been followed by the Shui people.”

“There are voices of opposition within the human race, but they are always respected by the holy people. Suppress it.”

“They thought ‘Zi said, it’s a joy to have friends from afar’, and emphasized that ‘peace is the most important’.”

“Until…”

“The previous dynasty was shattered, and the northern barbarians invaded. In order to strengthen their strength, the human tribes in various places signed cooperation contracts with the local aquatic tribes to resist the barbarians. From that moment on, the governance of the water area was officially proposed.”

Listening to Hai Rui’s ins and outs of the matter carefully Statement, Chen Luo nodded slightly.

“Having said so much, what exactly is the governance of the waters?” Chen Luo asked.

“Back to Zhu Kingdom, the so-called governance of waters refers to rivers, lakes and seas of a certain size, below three feet above the water surface, are the territory of the Aquarium, not the territory of the Daxuan.”

“The Aquarium governs itself!”

Gan!

Murderous intent flashed in Chen Luo’s eyes.

This TM is still a colony!

“Is there no one to care about Daxuan standing in the court?” Chen Luo calmed down a little, and asked.

This is unreasonable.

Not to mention the emperors who opened the dynasty of Daxuan, but his own teacher Bo Linhuang and the reckless Emperor Wu, with their personalities, they shouldn’t let such existences be allowed to exist!

What else is going on here?

Hai Rui hesitated for a moment, then said, “The officials in this court do not have the authority to view some materials. But if you say you object, there are indeed people who object, and what they do is extremely sensational.”

Chen Luo was slightly stunned, and searched in his mind. Seemingly thinking of something, he said, “Han Sheng?”

Hai Rui nodded, “It is Mr.   Chang Li, the head

of the church.”

At that time, there was a big river in Yuzhou, and crocodile dragons often appeared in the river, killing the people on the shore.”

“Mr. Changli wrote the “Worship of Crocodiles” in handwriting, and erected a monument in Zhenjiang, so as to solve the problem of crocodiles!”

Chen Luo was lost in thought, tapping rhythmically with his fingers Looking at the table, after a while, he said to Hai Rui: “The truth about this matter is known.”

“The truth will be dealt with.”

“You go back to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to hand over the work of this inspection.”

Hai Rui nodded, saluted and was about to leave, but Chen Luo thought of something again and said, “What about the pleading paper of the woman who sued for death? Give it to me. Hearing this ,

Hai Rui quickly took out a folded paper from his pocket and handed it to Chen Luo.   Seeing Hai Rui’s behavior, Chen Luo also smiled

: “You wear it close to your body, but you don’t take the initiative to give it to me… What if I don’t ask you for it?”

Then go back to Sanquan County, and open the case again in the name of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.”

“Trial the villagers first, and then the water monster!”

A strange look flashed in Chen Luo’s eyes, and he said, “You’re afraid that I won’t accept this case.” Hai Rui’s face remained unchanged, and he replied: ”

The existence of the governance of this water area must have its own reasons. The pros and cons of the exchanges between the human race and the water race are issues considered by the Zhu Kingdom, and Rui dare not make things difficult for the Zhu Kingdom. If there is an injustice, it must be sued, and if there is a case, it must be investigated!”

Chen Luo looked at Hai Rui, yes, it was the Hai Gangfeng in his impression!

“Go back.”

“I, Chen Luo, are still here, so I won’t make you sacrifice for your duty.”

Hai Rui saluted Chen Luo respectfully, turned and left.

Chen Luo spread out the paper, glanced at the content on it, and his face, which had been relieved by Hai Rui just now, became gloomy again.

The content of the pleadings is not complicated. It says that there is Suicune in the Jiami River, who eats ten babies every year, so as to bless the fishing village where the woman lives with a good harvest and safe sailing.

Seeing this, Chen Luo’s expression was quite normal, after all, Hai Rui had told him about this. But the content below made Chen Luo unable to hold back.

The pleadings explain the origin of the ten babies each year.

Abducted!

Every year in this fishing village called “Hongdong”, a part of the money will be specially set aside to buy abducted and trafficked babies, which will then be used as sacrifices to the Lord of Water in the River.

But this year, the trafficker didn’t get enough young children. The woman was once harassed by the son of the village chief, and kicked the lifeblood of the other party in self-defense. The village head held a grudge, and this time he put her child on the list of sacrifices.

After her husband came back, he wanted to save his own child, so he never came back.

“Poor, pathetic, and hateful!”

Chen Luo sighed and put away the pleadings.

“Dragon-cutting platform?” Since the target is the Shui tribe, Chen Luo naturally thought of the “Dragon-cutting platform” that Goulian Tiandao set up when he just wrote “Journey to the West”, but then shook his head.

First of all, although the dragon-cutting platform is an externalization of the rules of heaven, it is similar to the three swords of the blue sky, and it is more of a torture tool than a catastrophe.

The dragon-cutting platform does not automatically fall into catastrophe when it detects a creature that violates the rules, but requires the human race to capture the opponent and press it under the guillotine before execution.

Secondly, the Dragon Cutting Platform is essentially a supplement to the rules that were born in response to Yuan Hai, and it is aimed at “clans protected by the Dao of Heaven”.

The “protection” here is equivalent to the “wild card” issued by Tiandao, which refers to non-heavenly beings, such as dragons.

Once a dragon is sentenced to death by the human race, the dragon-cutting platform can remove it from the “Heaven’s wild card list” remotely, and there is no need to capture the opponent.

However, as long as the inland water demons are not of the direct bloodline of the dragon clan, or have mastered the “Dragon Transformation Technique” and cultivated the “body of a real dragon”, they are still creatures of the Dao of Heaven, born as a part of the Dao of Heaven, and do not need additional protection.

So this matter cannot be solved with the dragon-cutting platform.

Chen Luo pondered for a moment, then called out: “Old Mastiff!”

Mastiff Lingling rushed over

immediately , and asked, “What are your orders?” !”

“Yes!” Mastiff Lingling nodded and arranged to go.

…

In the evening, Chen Luo’s carriage stopped at the gate of Han Qingzhu’s mansion.

At this moment, the middle door of the mansion opened, and Han Qingzhu’s daughter, Han Yunge, had already been waiting at the door with a few old servants. When she saw Chen Luo’s carriage, she hurried forward, and Fuli said: “The daughter of the people, Han Yunge, has seen Faxiang.”

Chen Luo got down from the carriage and quickly helped Han Yunge up: “Sister Yunge, don’t dare to do this, I’m a little brother.”

Han Yunge said with a smile on his face, “Etiquette cannot be discarded.”

“Well, I haven’t seen you in a year. Hearing that ,

Chen Luo quickly apologized and said, “It’s my younger brother’s fault that I haven’t visited my sister since I returned to Beijing.”

“You have a heavy burden on you, and you live in the Zhu Kingdom, so don’t worry about these little things.” Han Yunge pulled Chen Luo Walking into the mansion, he said, “But I’m getting old, and I need a daughter-in-law who can handle these mundane affairs for you!”

“Ah… I got it…” Chen Luo quickly changed the subject, “Has the Prime Minister come back?”

“I came back early. I knew you were coming, and I specially arranged a banquet for you. I am waiting for you.”

Following Han Yunge into the flower hall, I saw Han Qingzhu sitting in the flower hall, and saw Chen Luo He came in and snorted softly: “I’m putting on airs when I become a Dharma minister.”

“Come if you want, treat yourself like your own home, and you have to make a post.”

“It’s intentional to ask your elder sister Yunge to go to the door to meet you .” Are you?”

Before Chen Luo could speak, Han Yunge said first, “Xiao Luo’s every move is watched by countless people, how can he be as free as before!”

After speaking, he said to Chen Luo: “You guys talk first. , I’ll let the chef serve.”

Chen Luo nodded: “Thank you, sister.” Han Yunge patted Chen Luo on the shoulder and left the flower hall, at this time Han   Qingzhu

said: “Come and sit.”

, there must be an important matter to discuss. Therefore, Yun Ge did not arrange servants to serve him, and he wanted to drink tea by himself.”

Chen Luo nodded, walked to the table and sat down.

“What’s the matter?” Han Qingzhu asked straight to the point.

Chen Luo didn’t talk nonsense, took out the envelope from his sleeve, and handed it to Han Qingzhu.

Han Qingzhu took the paper, looked at it carefully, frowned slightly, then put down the paper, looked at Chen Luo, and asked, “Are you angry?”

Chen Luo nodded.

“I learned a new word today, called the power of waters!”

“Thanks to Hai Rui’s tossing in the Spring and Autumn Hall, I know the ins and outs of this matter.

” Hearing Chen Luo’s words ,

Han Qingzhu sighed slightly: “Because… there is no need…”

“Huh?” Chen Luo’s expression changed slightly when he heard the words, and he asked, “What do you mean?”

“It’s not necessary It’s just that there’s no need to worry about it, and there’s no need to change it!” Han Qingzhu shook his head lightly, “Whether you don’t change it or not, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages; if you manage it, if you change it, the advantages and disadvantages are hard to say.”

Chen Luo was stunned, pointing to the paper and said : “You call this matter that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?”

“This is essentially an extrajudicial jurisdiction. With rivers, lakes and seas as fiefdoms, it is self-reliant in my Daxuan. It is the same as the extrajudicial privileges of the aristocratic and holy families. It is an infringement.” The existence of the court’s legal power!”

“The benefits outweigh the disadvantages?”

“Why did you start arguing in such a short period of time?” Han Yunge came forward with a tray, arranged the dishes on the tray one by one, and smiled at Chen Luo , said, “Eat something first, and talk slowly if you have something to do.”

“Hey, thank you, sister Yunge.” Chen Luo nodded.

Looking at Chen Luo, Han Qingzhu also frowned and said, “What’s the rush, I will tell you in detail.” As he

said that, Han Qingzhu picked up the chopsticks, picked up a large piece of fish, and put it in Chen Luo’s bowl: “Taste, this The fish tastes very fresh.”

Chen Luo picked up the chopsticks and took a bite, while Han Qingzhu said, “I bought this fish for 30 Wen a catty today, and this fish weighs 3 Jin, which is 90 Wen. You know the fish seller Did you get any of them from the fishermen?”

“Three pennies per catty!” Han Qingzhu gave the answer without waiting for Chen Luo to speak.

“Don’t feel too little. Fresh fish are transported from Luoshui Port to Zhongjing. To keep them fresh, you need a lot of talismans. When you arrive in Zhongjing, tax, shop rent, labor…these are all expenses.”

“I know you care about people’s livelihood , but do you know what three Wen and a catty of fish mean to a fisherman?”

“The grain price in Luozhou is fifty-five Wen per catty of weak rice.”

“It means that he only needs to catch more than ten catties a day, which is enough for a family of five. This day’s rice and noodles food needs.”

“If it exceeds a hundred catties a day, he can even feed a child to school.”

“In my Daxuan territory, there are countless rivers and lakes. In addition to farming, the inland fishing The catch feeds nearly a quarter of the population of

Daxuan!” Chen Luo put down the chopsticks in his hand after hearing this, “Is this catch given by those monsters in the water?”

“Can’t we breed it ourselves?”

Han Qingzhu chuckled , continued: “The reproduction of aquatic species is far superior to that of land creatures. There are as many as one million eggs at a time. The survival rate of the eggs of water demons is much higher than that of ordinary fish, which is enough to support fishermen on both sides of the strait.

” Among them, those who can become demons, one in a million, or even one in a billion, can be captured by our human race, and the aquarium has no objection to this.”

“In addition, the fish, shrimp and crabs hatched from the eggs of water demons And so on, the meat contains a trace of blood power, long-term consumption by the human race will also improve the body.”

“Since the founding of the human race, the life span and vitality of the human race have shown an upward trend, of which diet is very important The reason.”

Chen Luo pondered for a moment, and said: “So, the human race agrees and even supports the Shui people to thrive in the territory of Daxuan…”

Han Qingzhu nodded, took another bite of food, and said, “This is just one of them.”

“Secondly, if you look carefully at the history of the human race, you will find that there are very few famines.”

“Among them, there is the contribution of the Shui tribe.”

“The so-called famine, there are two main types, one is water and the other is drought.”

“My Confucian school naturally has the magical power of ‘calling the wind and calling the rain’, as well as the secret method of ‘turning the rivers back to the sea’, and even the imperial court has ‘turning the clouds and raining’ Official skills!”

“There is no need to worry about the enemy, but it consumes a lot of money for the people’s livelihood. In terms of precision and breadth, except for a few powerful ones, none of them can compare with the water control talent of the Shui tribe.”

“Exercise Official skills also take a lot of luck.”

“Therefore, it is the most cost-effective and effective way to let the water people help and take care of one side!”

“That’s why the imperial court rewards these water monsters with the title of king, and they are called water kings. With that

said, Han Qingzhu picked up the paper and said, “At first glance, it is true that both humans and gods are angry.”

“Water demons are different. Some are kind-hearted, while others are cruel.”

“Some are like the ones on this paper. Generally speaking, they cannibalize and kill people; some people ask to sacrifice young girls every year for their pleasure.”

“But from the perspective of the whole Daxuan, the overall performance of the water demon is good. The number of deaths in these cases is the same as that of the water demon. Compared with the effect on the human race, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.”

“You know, even in such cases, most of them are agreements reached between the local people and the water monsters.” Han Qingzhu tapped the paper with his hand, “If this woman’s child is not sacrificed this time, will she not sue?”

“Also, if this village does not buy abducted and trafficked babies as sacrifices, but defaults to their own children, is that also wrong ?” Will you sue?”

“If you want to interrogate the Shui people, I’m afraid the first ones to disagree are not the Shui people, but those fishermen!”

“Those who hurt them, benefit them, as long as they don’t hurt themselves; those who help them, They think you are harming them.”

“After all, it’s a bad debt.”

“So, don’t worry about it, don’t change it, don’t mention it.”

Listening to Han Qingzhu’s words, Chen Luo was silent.

This time there was silence for half an hour.

Chen Luo repeated Han Qingzhu’s words over and over again in his mind. These words sounded reasonable, but Chen Luo always felt that something was wrong.

Han Qingzhu was not in a hurry, he ate the food slowly, but his eyes fell on the paper from time to time.

Finally, Chen Luo raised his head, and his eyes recovered.

“No!”

“Han Xiang, what you said is wrong!”

“There is a problem with this pros and cons analysis!”

Chen Luo said with piercing eyes, “Whether it’s fishing or flying clouds to spread rain, you only see that the aquarium treats me well.” The human race is beneficial, but is our human race not beneficial to them?”

“The rivers, lakes and seas belong to our human race!”

“It is our human race that gave them shelter!”

“They should provide fish, as they should! ”

“There is no reason to rent a house without paying rent!”

“When did this become a favor?”

“As for spreading clouds and rain…we can give them official positions and let them enjoy their salaries!”

“This is definitely not to cover up their crimes. ” Protective umbrella!”

Chen Luo stood up: “Right now, this is not the right to govern the waters! What they are given is the sovereignty of the waters!”

“They can be autonomous, but they must be under the jurisdiction of the Daxuan court!”

“It can only be relatively autonomous, but Not absolutely independent!”

Hearing Chen Luo’s words, Han Qingzhu was taken aback for a moment, and then slammed his chopsticks on the table heavily.

“That’s right!”

“Damn it, I was brainwashed by those ethical people!”

“I’m so aggrieved when I say this!”

“Boy, what are you going to do?”

Chen Luo looked at the pleading paper and said solemnly: “The aquariums in the world, it’s time to change the rules for them.”
