Chapter 1303 My Uncle Has a Lot of Fallacies
Mr. Tong was afraid because he was different from Master Zheng. Master Zheng was a suicide squad, while he was a living pawn.
This vital piece of the game needs to continuously make contributions and grow stronger, becoming a trusted confidant of the King of Ye, so that he can bring great benefits to powerful families in the future.
He then looked at the string of prisoners brought by Vice Commissioner Jiang and saw not only Zheng Qianming and Lu Qian, but also Chen Yusheng and Bai Peijian!
Of these four, Lu Qian and Zheng Qianming might refuse to confess even at the cost of their families, but Chen Yusheng and Bai Peijian were not the type to withstand it.
These two are very likely to reveal part of the truth... Master Zheng's death may be imminent.
"Guards! Young Master Chen has openly insulted those with military merit as lowly people. According to the laws and military regulations of the Great Wei, he should at least be punished by having a finger cut off or his skin severed!" Qin Xiaomi looked at Young Master Chen and said with a smile, "Young Master Chen, would you rather have a piece of flesh cut off or a finger severed? You can choose. After all, I'm not one to fuss over trivial matters and I'm always willing to give people a choice."
Evil spirit, evil spirit!
Young Master Chen, Bai Peijian, Lu Qian, Zheng Qianming, and the others were terrified and cursed her in their hearts.
“…Master Qin, Young Master Chen is young and acted impulsively. He has already realized his mistake. How about we change it to caning? What do you think?” For some reason, Zheng Qianjia was the first to plead for leniency.
Perhaps he harbored some secret thoughts... After all, women in this world, especially those from poor families, all have the desire to marry into wealth.
Although Zheng Qianjia looked down on Qin Xiaomi, he really wanted to woo her and make her heart flutter, but he could never have her and could only look up to her for the rest of his life.
You're not some cured meat, I'm not looking up to you!
Qin Xiaomi really didn't understand why these young masters and noblemen were always so arrogant. Couldn't they just be normal?
Yes, yes, we have normal young masters and noblemen.
Si Pei immediately rebuked Zheng Qianjia: "Zheng, what you said is extremely wrong... Without rules, there can be no order. If everyone commits a crime and is not punished according to the criminal law, then wouldn't the Wei law become a joke?"
Wei Lu said: It's been a joke for many years.
“You are still a student, and you will become an official in the future. It is terrible for a future official to help criminals get lighter sentences. He wants to become a bad official!” Si Pei was so righteous that he was scared.
Zheng Qianjia was trembling with anger, but considering her past image, she dared not lose her temper. Instead, she bowed and admitted her mistake: "Classmate Si is right. I was too considerate of the sentiments of scholars. I was afraid that if Scholar Chen lost his finger, it would affect his examination. That's why I wanted to ask Master Qin to make an exception."
He was good at changing the subject to reduce the focus on his mistakes, so he said to Qin Xiaomi, "Boss Qin, is it alright if we don't cut off your fingers? After all, it's unsightly and affects how you hold a pen."
"Even though my right hand is crippled, I can still write with my left hand!!" Uncle Qin's roar came as he ran, pointing at them and saying, "You dogs think all the men in my Qin family are dead? You dare to bully my niece like that! If I don't beat you up, I'm not worthy of being your uncle!"
"Erlang, surround them! Don't let them escape!"
"Hey!" Jiang Erlang ran extremely fast, like a whirlwind, and in the blink of an eye he was beside Zheng Qianjia and Young Master Chen, grabbing one in each hand and shouting to Uncle Qin, "Uncle Qin, come quick!"
Let go, you lowly people!
Zheng Qianjia roared inwardly, feeling utterly disgusted and filthy, wishing she could chop off the hand that Jiang Erlang was holding.
Go ahead and chop it up! Anyone who doesn't is a coward!
"Coming right away, hold them back, don't let them get away," Uncle Qin replied, huffing and puffing as he ran over.
Mr. Tong hurriedly said, "Second Master Qin, please calm down. Zheng Xuezi is innocent; it was Young Master Chen who insulted her." "Bah! Does that mean accomplices don't go to jail?!" Second Uncle Qin retorted, "That Chen fellow insulted my niece, and Zheng Qianjia even spoke up for the Chen family. That's accomplice behavior! According to the laws of the Great Wei Dynasty, accomplices are equally guilty. I know the laws of the Great Wei Dynasty by heart; how could I not know them?!"
Uncle Qin was clever from a young age. He realized the importance of learning the Wei law when he was four years old... After all, if you encounter evil people, as long as you can recite a certain crime of the Wei law, the evil people will not dare to bully you anymore.
"Master Qin, calm down." Mr. Tong wiped the spit off his face, cursing Qin Er the scoundrel in his heart. He deserved to be framed for cheating and had his right hand crippled!
"Calm down? If your daughter were publicly called a slut, could you stay calm? If you could, you wouldn't be human!" Uncle Qin roared, completely out of control. Mr. Tong didn't dare to provoke him any further and shut up and backed away.
Haha, Jiang Qianshi laughed and said to Uncle Qin, "Second Master Qin, please go ahead and don't be polite. Chen Yusheng is a criminal and was brought to the military headquarters to be punished."
"That's adding insult to injury! He needs to be taught a lesson!" Uncle Qin instructed Jiang Erlang: "Hold down that guy surnamed Chen and turn his face towards me."
"Okay." Erlang nodded and did as instructed, still holding Zheng Qianjia's hand tightly, being very dutiful.
"Stop! I am the young master of the Chen family in the capital city. My relatives hold official positions; we are an official family. You..."
Clap clap clap clap!
Five slaps, so hard that Uncle Qin's left hand went numb: "Bah! Just because you have relatives in official positions doesn't mean you're from an official family! My brother-in-law is the Prince of Ye, so I'm a member of the royal family, much more prestigious than yours. If I slap you, your whole family will have to take the hit!"
Young Master Chen's cheeks were swollen from the beating, and blood was trickling from the corner of his mouth. He glared angrily at Uncle Qin: "You..."
Clap clap clap clap!
He got slapped five more times.
"You dare to glare at the imperial relatives? Your Chen family has become something else! You show no respect for the imperial relatives, the Prince of Ye, or His Majesty. Does your Chen family intend to rebel?!"
This?
"Second Master Qin, you've gone a bit too far. You can't just say things like that." Vice Commissioner Jiang hurriedly reminded him. Why? Because it was on this charge that Young Master Chen and the others were arrested.
If Uncle Qin were also falsely accused of slandering the Chen family for rebellion, it would be a great loss.
Uncle Qin remained calm, being a smooth talker. He said, "His Majesty personally issued an imperial edict restoring my brother-in-law's family's title of Prince of Ye, which means he also acknowledges that my Qin family is the Prince of Ye's father-in-law's family. Therefore, my family is a member of the royal family. This brat Chen glaring at me, a member of the royal family, shows his dissatisfaction with the Prince of Ye, and with His Majesty!"
"Those who are dissatisfied with His Majesty, what else could they be but rebels?!"
Listen to how reasonable that explanation is.
After hearing his twisted logic, Vice Commissioner Jiang said he had learned something and would follow his approach from now on.
“Zheng Xuezi, we’re practically acquaintances now, so I won’t hit you. You can do it yourself.” Uncle Qin added, “Don’t blame Uncle Qin for being too serious. It’s just that you’re going to take the imperial examinations and become an official. If you end up speaking up for corrupt officials, won’t the Great Wei court be a world of treacherous and beastly people? Won’t truly good officials be squeezed out of their positions?!”
Good heavens, he has so many fallacies! And as I listened, I even found them quite reasonable.
Qin Xiaomi also said: My uncle has a lot of fallacies.
Zheng Qianjia lowered her head, concealing the murderous intent in her eyes.
Si Pei even advised him, "Zheng, why don't you slap yourself twice as a gesture?"
"Don't feel embarrassed. It's great to admit your mistakes and correct them. Maybe your act of slapping yourself will be spread as a good deed of genuine repentance and be praised by future generations."
"Si Peiwa, come here." Old Madam Guan hurriedly called out to Si Peiwa, otherwise she was really afraid that if Si Peiwa continued to talk, Zheng Qianjia would send assassins to kill him.
"Yes." Si Pei frowned, puzzled, but still obediently shut up and walked towards Madam Guan.
