The little Fubao in the deserted village made all the dignitaries in the court go crazy with envy

After the little girl finished eating a pork elbow, Yan Changqing wiped the sauce from the corners of her mouth with a clean towel, and then wiped her two little hands clean before starting to answer her questions.

"A country has its own laws, and a family has its own rules. Whenever a person's life is involved, no matter what the reason or the difficulty, the person must be punished. The purpose of the law is to build and maintain order in the country. If one person breaks the law, then everyone will break the law, and the country will no longer be a country."

"But that uncle killed a bad guy. The bad guy killed his family of four. Shouldn't he be punished? The government office is a place where people are reasonable, but what if the government office is unreasonable?"

Bai Xiang understood what brother Chang Qing said, but he didn't understand it.

Bai Xiang only knew that if someone bullied her grandparents and the government was unreasonable and refused to give her justice, she would kill her enemies like that uncle did.

Even if the price is that you will be beheaded.

Lin Huaisong and Lin Huaibai slowed down their eating speed.

The two men frowned tightly, as if they were thinking about something, with a look of confusion in their eyes as if they were unable to understand the world.

Yan Changqing thought for a moment and said in simpler language, "The government is unreasonable, it is the emperor's fault. Da Rui is too big and too wide, he is standing too high, and his vision is blocked by others, so he did not see the injustice hidden in the shadow corner of Da Rui. I can understand his anger and despair for what happened to that man, but revenge by private punishment, no matter how many reasons he has, this behavior is wrong. We can't help him escape legal prosecution just because we sympathize with him."

After a pause, he continued, "He violated the law and needs to bear the responsibility and punishment, but the law is ruthless but people are kind. Execution may not be a bad thing for him and his group of people. It all depends on how the law enforcers judge him."

Hearing this, three pairs of eyes turned to him, holding their breath and waiting for his next words.

Yan Changqing smiled slightly, "Don't tell anyone about this. I have already made a rule."

"..." The three kids were so eager to keep the secret that they wanted to give the person who kept it a secret a beating.

"The world is vast, and the people of Da Rui are numerous. The injustice that man suffered was not unique. In places we don't know about, there may be many more injustices happening or have happened, and the people have nowhere to seek redress. This is an oversight in the emperor's governance.

My ideal and ambition in the future is to fill in the gaps and rectify the malpractices, eliminate the collusion among officials, and eliminate the practice of the rich for the public good.

Laws and regulations constrain the people and keep the country in order, but laws should not only be a constraint, they should also be a barrier to protect the people and a reliance for the people to protect themselves.

To achieve this and make Da Rui prosperous and peaceful, it will take a very long time, a lot of energy, and the joint efforts of many like-minded people."

The young boy, wearing a sky-blue robe, black hair and a white crown, sat at the dinner table and talked animatedly. It seemed as if his body was filled with starlight, twinkling, soft and dazzling.

Bai Xiang stared blankly at that pretty face with his mouth half open, not knowing how to describe his feelings at the moment. He only felt his heart was shaken like the howling of the wind and a tsunami, and his little body was numb.

Lin Huaisong and Lin Huaibai stared blankly at the young boy who was not much older than them. For a moment, they felt that they were the frog in the well that the Master had mentioned.

They sat in the well and looked up, and all they could see was the sky above their heads.

Brother Changqing stood on the top of the Goddess Mountain and looked over the entire world.

The young boy had a faint smile on his face, and when he looked up, there was also a faint smile in his clear eyes, "Are you willing to help me?"

Lin Huaisong and Lin Huaibai were immediately excited and said in unison, "How can we help?"

"Well, study hard first."

"..."

The corners of the two brothers' mouths twitched at the same time, haha.

What are you playing here?

They went to private schools just to learn a few words and understand some principles, but they never thought about striving for higher goals.

Their family did not expect anything else when they sent them to school. As long as they could write their own names, understand the books sold in the bookstore, and read the words written on the notices in the government office, that would be enough.

Their lives are foreseeable at a glance. When they grow up, they will get married, start a family, inherit a few acres of land from their family, and continue to grow their spathiphyllum.

A simple life is a blessing.

But Brother Changqing said those words first, and then he pulled them into his group, making them feel as if they would be unworthy of the little talk Brother Changqing had just said if they didn't fill their stomachs with knowledge.

Are you forcing the issue?

"Brother Changqing, your request is so difficult. My brother and I went to school just to learn to read. If you want to motivate us to take the imperial examination, I'm afraid it won't work. We know our own abilities." Lin Huaisong cleared his throat with a cough and shifted the focus to his sister to disperse the fire. "But our Baixiang is the smartest. She can understand what the teacher teaches after listening to it once. Let Baixiang study more!"

Bai Xiang frowned and broke his brothers' fantasy. "It's enough for me to know how to read. I don't want to take the imperial examination. I will learn medicine from my master and become a barefoot doctor in the village."

"That's useless. No one in our village is sick. You can't use the medical skills you learned."

"..."

The child's dumbfounded look made the three boys laugh.

Soon, there was a roar outside the side hall door, and the fat boy rushed in with a ferocious look. He stood beside the dining table with his hands on his hips, feeling angry and aggrieved. "Okay! I didn't watch you once and you left me alone! You treat me as an outsider! You exclude me! You——"

"Ah," Yan Changqing smiled when he saw the fat boy, "Duobao, you came at the right time. We were just talking about what we want to do in the future. Duobao, are you going to take over the family business in the future?"

"Of course! I am the only child in my family. Who else can inherit all these gold, silver, jewels and mountains of gold and silver except me? If I give up, the tablets of my Jin family ancestors will be so anxious that they will jump up and down!"

"I see. Very good."

"???" Jin Duobao tilted his neck back, alert, with suspicion in his eyes, "Why do I feel like you haven't held your fart well? What do you want to do?"

It’s not that he thought badly of Yan Changqing, but the more beautiful Yan Changqing smiled, the more he felt a chill on the back of his neck, as if something was staring at him.

Hiss, I feel frightened.

The little fat boy thought so and took precautions. He walked around the dining table for most of the time, and finally chose the seat farthest from Yan Changqing before jumping up and sitting down.

There was another burst of muffled laughter in the side hall.

The children spent an hour having dinner, laughing and playing, and the moon was already high in the sky when they finished.

The spring night was slightly chilly, and the bright moon, shrouded in mist, hung dimly in the sky.

Yan Changqing walked along the bluestone path outside the side hall to the back garden and found the person he was looking for at the Moon Viewing Terrace.

At that time, Xu Hanzhang and Jia Banxian were sitting opposite each other at a stone table, and the pot of tea and two cups on the table were temporarily neglected.

Old man Xu slammed the table at the moon, indignant. "That man tried to take the wife of a commoner but failed, so he killed her to vent his anger. How hateful! The government protected the wicked and abused their power to oppress the people. How hateful! The retired soldier tried to seek justice but failed, so he killed someone and fled. How pathetic! Such injustices still happen frequently under the rule of a wise ruler. The Great Rui Dynasty is the most pathetic!"

Jia Banxian glanced at the young man under the Yaotai and said slowly, "Mr. Xu, be careful with your words. You are drunk."

"Why are you drunk? The old man is drinking Baixiang Tea! The more he drinks, the more sober he becomes!"

"..."

Yan Changqing coughed lightly and walked up the bluestone steps. His voice was clear under the moonlight, "Sir, if you were to handle this case, how would you judge it?"
