Shi Weimin turned around to look at Qingfeng Li in astonishment, and suddenly felt furious, thinking that he had been teased by Qingfeng Li.
"But if a thief like Zhao Dagou, who raped a decent woman, is not severely punished, how can he expect others to be convinced?"
"Are you trying to exonerate Zhao Dagou by saying this? What about my daughter's reputation?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Dagou immediately lowered his head in embarrassment.
Qingfeng Li understood the arrogance in the hearts of these scholars, so he smiled and nodded.
"Master Shi is right! Qingfeng Village has always had strict rules!"
"Although Zhao Dagou has ruined your daughter's reputation, it's also because they are in love. I, the peak master, can't forbid everyone in the village from having sex before they get married, right?"
Shi Weimin's face turned visibly red.
"Peak Master, your words are truly contrary to human ethics and laws. Aren't you intentionally condoning such a violation of etiquette and laws?"
Seeing this, Qingfeng Li knew it was almost done and nodded.
"Master Shi, I think what you said is reasonable, but my rules cannot force everyone in the village and the people under my jurisdiction to become polite gentlemen!"
Then he stood up and walked to Zhao Dagou, kicked him and signaled him to kowtow to the stubborn old man twice.
But Zhao Dagou looked up at Li Qingfeng with a confused expression.
"Ah? Bee Master, what do you want?"
Li Qingfeng rolled his eyes helplessly and sighed inwardly.
I overestimated Zhao Dagou's intelligence!
"It's okay. Kneel over there and I'll discuss your marriage with your father-in-law."
Zhao Dagou was overjoyed when he heard this, and grinned and nodded repeatedly.
"Okay! Okay! I'll go kneel over there."
As he spoke, he quickly got up and ran to the side to kneel down.
Shi Weimin was stunned by what he saw.
He moved his lips, intending to correct Qingfeng Li's wording.
However, Qingfeng Li already understood what he meant. Looking at Zhao Dagou, he didn't seem to be a smart person.
If I continue like this, God knows what will happen.
So I remained silent.
Li Qingfeng smiled and bowed to Shi Weimin.
"My brother has a straightforward personality. I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Lord Shi!"
Shi Weimin noticed that Zhao Dagou was looking at him with a pair of sneaky eyes.
I secretly shook my head in my heart.
Zhao Dagou doesn't look very smart and is a big and strong guy. It's hard to get anything from him.
However, the fact that he could make the leader of Qingfeng Village, who controlled several prefectures and counties, come to see him in person showed that he really valued Zhao Dagou.
Zhao Dagou is Li Qingfeng's trusted and beloved general. Qingfeng Village is currently gaining momentum and may be able to accomplish something great.
His daughter is not particularly beautiful, so if she could be with Zhao Dagou, everyone would be happy.
The only difference was Zhao Dagou's identity. In his agreement with Qingfeng Li, he only agreed to secretly hook his fingers.
But if my daughter follows Zhao Dagou directly, what if Qingfeng Village is destroyed by the imperial court in the future?
Wouldn't it be a mistake to entrust your daughter to the wrong person?
With a sigh, he did not continue on this topic, but asked,
"If Qingfeng Village cannot uphold the rules of propriety, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the people of the world to be convinced!"
Qingfeng Li understood what Shi Weimin meant and laughed.
"Master Shi, etiquette and law don't allow people to rebel!"
Shi Weimin's face twitched.
Then he pointed at Zhao Dagou who was standing beside him and said helplessly,
"But if things like this are not prohibited, where is the etiquette and law?"
Qingfeng Li's expression was also slightly solemn, and he sighed,
"Ritual is to regulate one's words and deeds, while law is to constrain one's words and deeds!"
"Rituals are based on the moral principles of sages and saints. However, people are all different. How many people know sages and saints? That's why there are laws! Laws are based on the lowest moral standards of human hearts!"
Shi Weimin was stunned when he heard this, and he felt that all his decades of hard study of the books of sages had been overturned.
