Qin Dynasty: Your Majesty, I really am a time traveler.

"Boom!!"

Covered in blood, Xiong Kuo was carried up by two guards. When the nobles of the six kingdoms saw Xiong Kuo in such a state, they couldn't help but gasp in shock.

"Xiong Kuo! Damn it, who could have injured you like this?"

"Who is it that dares to injure the nobles of our six kingdoms? Are they courting death?"

Hearing such words again, Tang Yu couldn't hold back any longer. He looked directly at the arrogant nobles and said coldly.

"It is I. I wonder which of you gentlemen wants me to pay the price?"

Upon hearing that it was Tang Yu who had done it, the nobles of the six kingdoms fell silent and lowered their heads, as if they had said nothing at all.

This is Tang Yu, he is an immortal! Even though they were not in the court that day, they had already heard of his fame.

Even just the fact that he is an immortal is enough to make Tang Yu and his group not dare to offend him easily. Moreover, they have heard that he has a legendary immortal artifact that can kill someone with just one strike!

What's even more crucial is that the entire Qin state knows exactly who's behind Tang Yu, and at this moment, even Li Si has to avoid his sharp edge.

Seeing that these people remained silent, Tang Yu continued speaking:

"What I did was not a violation of Qin law, but to stop Xiong Kuo from continuing to ride his horse and injure people. If I hadn't stopped him in time, his horse would have crashed directly into a three-year-old child. That's why I forcibly knocked him down!"

Listening to Tang Yu's explanation, whether these nobles believed it or not, they all had to pretend to agree and applaud.

"The Imperial Advisor did the right thing!"

"The Grand Preceptor is doing this to save a talent; it certainly won't violate Qin law!"

Seeing the anger in the eyes of these nobles, and their outward fawning, Tang Yu felt like laughing. It seemed that in this day and age, might made right. He looked at Ying Zheng and continued:

"Your Majesty, the trial of Xiong Kuo's case of injuring people on horseback in Xianyang City is now underway!"

"can."

Ying Zheng nodded slightly and then looked at the court. He wanted to see what kind of methods this omnipotent and omniscient Grand Tutor would use.

Instead of going to Xiong Kuo, Tang Yu unusually came to Li Si's side.

"May I ask, Your Excellency, what are the penalties under Qin law for running wildly on horseback within Xianyang City in violation of Qin law?"

"Unless there is an emergency or special circumstance, anyone who rides recklessly within the city of Xianyang will be punished with fifty strokes of the cane!"

Upon hearing this answer, Tang Yu nodded in satisfaction. Xiong Kuo, who was lying on the ground in the distance covered in wounds, had wide eyes. Xiong Meng, one of the nobles, was also watching this scene nervously.

That fifty strokes of the cane could literally kill someone!

"If someone injures someone on horseback and flees the scene, then rides off again with the intent to kill others, what punishment should be imposed?"

Upon hearing this, Li Si glanced at Tang Yu, realizing that Tang Yu had another purpose in rescuing him.

On the one hand, it was for the purpose of reform, and on the other hand, it was to fill the loopholes in the prefecture-county system. However, he discovered that these two things were not Tang Yu's true purpose at all.

Tang Yu's purpose was actually only one thing: to use his words and the methods of Legalism to openly and justly punish the person who had injured others on horseback.

Li Si was thinking about many things, but to the outside world, it was just a matter of a moment.

Although he didn't know why Tang Yu would do such a thing for ordinary people, Li Si didn't mind doing Tang Yu a favor.

"After injuring someone on horseback and fleeing the scene, and then attempting to kill someone again on horseback, according to the laws of Qin, he should be beheaded, and his family members should also be punished."

Tang Yu glanced at Li Si, but inwardly he was secretly impressed.

The Qin law truly deserves its reputation as one of the most stringent legal systems in the world, with the practice of collective punishment being applied at every turn.

To be honest, it's really great to use in situations like this!

After Tang Yu finished questioning Li Si, he turned to look at Xiong Kuo, who was lying on the ground.

"Xiong Kuo, is it true that you rode wildly in Xianyang City?"

After giving Tang Yu a hateful look, Xiong Kuo could only grit his teeth and nod, "It's true."

"After injuring someone on horseback, it left again, and instead of slowing down when it faced the little girl, it accelerated and rammed into her. Is this true?"

"true!"

Seeing Xiong Kuo nod twice, Xiong Meng, standing in the crowd, closed his eyes in grief, knowing that no matter how things turned out today, his son was doomed.

The officials in the imperial court all looked at Tang Yu with different expressions. To be honest, they still didn't understand what Tang Yu was up to.

In fact, although the original intention of the Qin law was to make the emperor and commoners the same as each other when they broke the law, even the former crown prince was punished for violating the Qin law, and his teacher had his nose cut off.

Normally, they would turn a blind eye, but judging from the Grand Preceptor's expression, he was determined to destroy Xiong Kuo!

Meng Tian stepped forward, nudged Fusu beside him, and asked with a hint of doubt.

"What does Mr. Tang mean by this? Why are you taking it so seriously?"

Fusu recalled the hardships of life he had witnessed among ordinary people that day, and thought of what his teacher had told him about the generations of sacrifices made by the people of Qin for the Qin state.

Recalling the arrogant way Xiong Kuo had acted after injuring someone on horseback that day, Fusu's face darkened.

“What you have done is exactly what I, Fusu, have thought. Ordinary people are also citizens of my Qin state. No matter who they are, they should not be humiliated like this!”

When Meng Tian saw Fusu, he was somewhat taken aback, because if it were the Fusu of the past, he probably would not have reacted so strongly. It seems that Tang Yu is indeed a famous teacher!

……

Wang Li, dressed in full armor, entered the hall. His eyes flickered slightly as he looked at Tang Yu, recalling his father's teachings from a few days ago.

"This Grand Preceptor is definitely not simple. If you go to the court, remember to observe carefully. At the same time, you can only befriend him, not make enemies!"

……

The court was silent, with only Tang Yu pacing back and forth.

He walked up to the nobles of the six kingdoms, looking at Xiong Meng, the leader, with a cold gaze.

"Xiong Meng, I ask you, is this Xiong Kuo your biological son?"

The court erupted in uproar. Asking this question in this era was tantamount to pointing a finger at someone and cursing them.

This was a huge humiliation, especially for a nobleman like Xiong Meng from the State of Chu.

Faced with such a question, Xiong Meng did not answer directly, but looked at Tang Yu with a hint of doubt and confusion in his tone.

"Is it really worth it for the Imperial Advisor to do this for a few lowly commoners?"

Seeing that Tang Yu did not reply, but the murderous intent in his eyes grew stronger.

Xiong Meng forced a sorrowful smile onto his face.

"Hahaha, of course, Xiong Kuo is definitely my biological son!"
