Original God: The Eternal Lord of Bliss

Chapter 291 In Xumi, criminals also have the right to reform

Facing Zhu Yuncheng's question, the Great Compassion Tree King spoke up: "Either this child will commit a crime, or this child will become an existence that everyone hates. Yongle, I have seen the same child you are talking about in Xumi."

"Tree King, what is the child you mentioned doing now?" asked Egolia.

The Great Compassion Tree King answered Egolia's doubts: "That child is in prison now. He fell in love with a girl and broke into her home and killed all the girl's family members who tried to stop him. Afterwards, the child's family said that their child was still young and that they could just take him back and teach him a lesson. Moreover, those who were killed had no objection. I have imprisoned that child and his family. They will not be released for at least 30 years."

"No, are they really your people?" Barbatos blurted out subconsciously, "This is too stupid!"

"Well, at least, I haven't seen anything like this among my people." The God of Fire also nodded.

The Ice God was puzzled: "Tree King, why don't you let that human pay for his life?"

Egolia nodded: "A human like this should be sentenced to death. At the very least, why are you only imprisoned for thirty years?"

"There is no death penalty in Xumi," the Great Compassion Tree King explained seriously, "I believe that as time goes by, he will realize his mistakes. Moreover, in Xumi, even criminals have the right to reform."

"Puff!" Zhu Yuncheng spat out the tea before he even finished drinking it.

"Too typical!" he couldn't help but shout. No wonder the little auspicious grass king of later generations would say such words. It turned out that even his mother, the great compassion tree king, thought so.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?"

"Yongle, are you okay?"

Facing the concern of his two wives, Zhu Yuncheng waved his hands: "I'm fine."

After coughing a few times, he took the silk scarf handed to him by Lei Dianying and wiped his mouth, then said to the Great Compassion Tree King: "Although I don't like to interfere with your gods' policy of managing humans, I must take care of this matter. Great Compassion Tree King, I hope that when you return, you will sentence that man to death."

"But he still has a chance to correct himself."

Zhu Yuncheng sighed, "What's the difference between you saying something like this and that person's family saying that their child is still young and they just need to educate him? And if you do this, how will your people view you? If someone believes that as long as you sincerely admit your mistakes, it's okay even if you kill someone, will there be more such things in Xumi in the future? After all, in Xumi, criminals also have the right to reform themselves."

The Great Compassionate Tree King was speechless for a moment.

"Some things may seem trivial to you, but they are big things to your people." Zhu Yuncheng tapped the table with his fingers. "I don't know how many times you have done this in the past, but this time I hope you will change."

He picked up the tea and took a sip: "Let's continue with the topic just now. Just as the Great Compassion Tree King said, such people are either criminals or hated by everyone, but more people will become the former. After they can't get what they want outside, they will steal and rob.

When they only steal a few hundred Mora and some small things without getting caught once or twice, they start to like the feeling of getting something for nothing. When there are more of them, different gangs of thieves are formed. Of course, what I said is just one of the reasons why thieves appear. "

After the story told by the Great Compassionate Tree King and Zhu Yuncheng's explanation, the Six Gods basically understood why the thieves appeared.

Egolia was a little worried: "So, there is no way to completely eradicate robbery?"

Zhu Yuncheng nodded slightly: "That's right, there is no way to eradicate it. The only thing we can do is to strengthen the protection force. Since the God of Fire just said that even if we send out 200,000 Qianyan troops, there is no way to protect all the caravans coming and going, so..."

Seeing Zhu Yuncheng silent, Bingshen's heart suddenly rose. Could it be that Yongle was going to send more Qianyan troops?

"You can recruit some guards from among your own people to protect the safety of your caravan, or allow some powerful people among your people to form their own guards and protect the caravan by charging money." Zhu Yuncheng spoke, and then he realized: Isn't this just an escort agency!

Hearing this, Bingshen breathed a sigh of relief.

After Liushen and Zhu Yuncheng exchanged ideas for a while, the latter said, "Now that the seven countries of Teyvat are under our governance, the country is peaceful and the people are safe. No one has died of freezing or starvation. It can be said that this is a prosperous era.

But prosperity does not mean that there is no need for governance. If there is no external threat to a country, there must be internal troubles, just like the Qianyan Army secretly planning a war in Inazuma more than 20 years ago, and the Qianyan Army that I returned to the country to eat empty salaries. These corrupt armies and officials are like blood-sucking worms, constantly sucking the foundation of the country. They must be dealt with in a timely manner and prevented. Only in this way can the prosperity be maintained for a long time. "

Zhu Yuncheng paused and said, "Okay, let's stop here for this report. I'll keep you for dinner. Before dinner, you can go shopping anywhere in Guili. Just send the bill to the Human King's Palace."

As he said that, Zhu Yuncheng took the crutches and stood up.

Seeing this, the Great Compassion Tree King couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Yongle, your leg isn't healed yet?"

Zhu Yuncheng looked down at his disabled left leg and smiled nonchalantly, "It will probably never heal, but it doesn't matter. I'm used to this kind of life. Even if it can be cured, I won't. I'll keep it as a lesson for me."

Although he said this, Zhu Yuncheng's heart was still full of regrets. After his leg was broken, he could neither run nor jump high, especially in the battle against the Nibelungen, the latter seized his disabled left leg and attacked fiercely, causing Zhu Yuncheng to suffer a lot.

Just after the demons left in twos and threes, the Water God found Zhu Yuncheng.

"Yongle, I have something to discuss with you."

In the Fengtian Palace, Egolia spoke softly.

"Sit down and talk. Someone come and serve tea to the Water God." Zhu Yuncheng said.

Soon a maid came forward and made a cup of tea for the water god.

"When you were reporting just now, I saw that you had something to say, but you didn't dare to say it in front of other gods." Zhu Yuncheng also lowered his head to drink a cup of tea. "Let me guess, do you want your followers to become humans?"

There was no surprise in Egolia's eyes: "So Yongle, you already knew."

"Of course I know, and I will stop you!" Zhu Yuncheng said in his heart.

Then I heard Egolia say: "My followers envy the free life of humans, envy human emotions, and want to experience the seven emotions and six desires like humans. They pray to me, pray to become human. The only way I can think of is to use the water of the original fetal sea, but I have no way to remove the seal that you, Yongle, set on the water of the original fetal sea, so........."

"Lord Water God, I have a question for you. What do you think, after the pure water elves become humans, are they humans or elemental life forms?" Zhu Yuncheng interrupted the Water God.
