Chapter 336 Giving Fairness
In the big tent, Li Tai and his recently recognized cheap grandson Li Yunxin walked in one after another. Everyone in the tent also looked at them. When they saw Li Tai nodded with a smile on his face, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Under Li Tai's impassioned speech just now, these village tycoons no longer regard this feud as a matter between two families, but as a scourge endangering the entire village. Now that it can be properly resolved, it is natural that people The heavy heart relaxes.
"Thank you so much to Li Changshi for not being afraid of taking responsibility, having the courage to do things, and being both benevolent and wise, so he finally solved this surface crisis. All the villagers benefited from this, thank you Li Changshi!"
The old man named Lu Fuhu stood up first, bowed to Li Tai and said.
When other villagers present saw this, they all stood up and thanked him. Their eyes looking at Li Tai were a little more respectful, and they were no longer the kind of people who were respectful on the surface but fearless in reality.
Li Tai accepted the compliments and thanks from the villagers without hesitation, and said with a polite smile: "I just have the courage to create ideas and take the lead in initiating. If I can properly solve this old nostalgia, All the virtuous people present here can share the credit. Also, you two can put the overall situation first and stop letting your anger ruin the local customs and order. I would like to express my gratitude to you both in public and private matters. "
When the two people heard this, they stood up in a hurry and respectfully. Li Yunxin, who had just recognized his grandfather, needless to say more. Quan Hanlang also lost his previous arrogance. It can be seen that when people are tamed by a certain rule, their words and deeds will naturally follow the rules. , the effect is more effective than sword deterrence.
"This is a good deed that benefits the poor and weak of the two ethnic groups and is related to the education of nostalgia. Therefore, it must be carried out with caution and meticulousness. We must not let the people laugh at morality and justice just because the deacons are careless and careless."
Li Tai looked at the two of them and said seriously: "So when you return, you must carefully visit and list the clansmen who need relief. You must not take it in vain, and you must not omit it! In the future, if there are clan members who complain that they should receive relief but have not received it, even if I have no longer Taking this position..."
"Nostalgia will never be spared!"
Before Li Tai could finish speaking, Lu Fuhu quickly expressed his position again.
A trace of annoyance flashed in Li Tai's eyes after hearing this, but he did not immediately refute. Instead, he nodded in agreement and said: "Don't be an enemy of the country's laws and local sentiments. If you lose your reputation because of this, it will be too late!"
After hearing the words, the two of them nodded quickly in agreement, and each stated that they would never neglect this matter.
Seeing that the attitude of the two people could be called respectful, Li Tai stood up and walked in front of the two people. He raised his hand and took one of the wrists, and said with a smile to everyone in the tent: "Now that the matter has been resolved, please share it with me." Let’s tell the news to the people waiting outside, so that they can settle their worries and go home with peace of mind.”
After hearing this, everyone quickly stood up and followed, but Yang Kuan sat still in the table, just smiled and waved his hands to show that he did not want to compete with Li Tai for the limelight.
At this time, outside Kuamagou, after several hours of watching and waiting, no further development of the situation was seen. The onlookers had become a little anxious, and some even some prodigal children in the countryside were afraid that the world would not be in chaos. He shouted and encouraged the two families to fight.
However, with thousands of state soldiers stationed and the help and control of powerful tribesmen from various families, although the scene seemed a bit chaotic, it was still far from getting out of control.
This is actually a microcosm of the current society. The number of ordinary people is naturally the largest, but they are scattered and completely unorganized. The government and the powerful have controlled the vast majority of social resources and the right to speak by virtue of the force they possess.
When Li Tai and his party appeared inside the camp fence, the eyes of the people present were immediately drawn towards them.
In terms of appearance alone, Li Tai is naturally the most eye-catching among the group of people, but this is not the focus of the crowd's attention at the moment, so the attention is quickly moved away from this handsome but unfamiliar face.
Then the onlookers soon saw Li Yunxin and Quan Hanlang being held by Li Tai's left and right hands. The crowd suddenly buzzed and a series of surprised shouts broke out. They couldn't believe their eyes. They never expected this. The two of them will one day walk together peacefully and hand in hand!
While the crowd was in shock and confusion, Li Tai ordered Zhao Yan to step onto an earthen platform built outside the camp and announce to the surrounding crowd that the matter had been successfully resolved.
The sergeants present shook the drums to suppress the crowd's discussion. Zhao Yan stepped onto the platform step by step. When he opened his mouth, he first introduced Li Tai's official status to the crowd, and then directed the crowd's attention back to Li Tai. .
It was difficult for the masses to fully remember his series of official titles, and they may not necessarily know what they meant. However, seeing that Li Tai had so many titles at such a young age, one could not help but feel that he was not a simple person.
Especially when he saw that he was holding one of the clan leaders in question with one hand, and surrounded by so many well-known powerful people in the state, it was obvious that Li Tai was the key figure here, and even these powerful people in the state had to bow to him. The moon shows that the person's status is respected.
After clarifying the priority of this matter to the crowd, Zhao Yancai shouted out the resolution of the matter. As he shouted, the surrounding environment suddenly became noisy.
The people standing close to here couldn't help but sigh after hearing that the matter was resolved in this way. Those standing at the back couldn't hear clearly and kept shouting and asking questions. After a while of noise, the result spread around and everyone knew it.
"It's a blessing for those two families that the matter is resolved this way. If the fighting continues, there will only be more casualties and more family members will suffer!"
"This method is not very clever. Why did it take until now for someone to show mercy?"
"Why didn't you say it beforehand if it wasn't clever? Even if you say it out loud, will those two powerful sects listen to you? It's not just ordinary people who can convince these two families. You must also uphold benevolence and righteousness, and not be greedy in order to make things right. The handling was so fair and convincing!”
There were various discussions at the scene. The people were very familiar with this rural feud that lasted for several years. When they heard that it was resolved in this way, they couldn't help but feel full of emotion and couldn't help but talk to the people around them. own opinion.
Generally speaking, everyone agrees with the outcome of this decision. On the one hand, it is useless to fight, and on the other hand, the victims can also get compensation. Although the dead cannot be resurrected and the disabled cannot be healthy, it is still better than It would be much better for things to continue as they are. If you insist that there is anything wrong, then you are really nitpicking.
Not to mention the onlookers who were talking about it, the reactions of the two families after learning the result were also different. Naturally, there was some disbelief at first, but when the respective clan leaders returned to confirm, some looked disappointed, some felt relieved, and some were still resentful and unwilling to let go of the hatred squeezing their hearts.
But no matter how everyone feels, this result must be recognized. Even if you have any hatred for killing your relatives and are unwilling to let go, you must still worry about whether continuing to dwell on hatred will affect other poor and weak people who cannot receive relief. supplies.
People may resent that in the decision-making process of collective rights and interests, individual rights and emotional demands are often not optimally resolved, and thus hate the situation where the group kidnaps individuals, but they ignore that if they do not happen to be in a certain group, , then there is no choice, but will be sacrificed by default.
The two clan leaders also warned everyone with serious expressions that if they can't let go of their hatred, then let it go, but they must not retaliate against each other in the name of the clan, and the clan will no longer be responsible for any deaths, illnesses, or injuries caused by this. .
The crowd had little hope for this, and came here just to watch the excitement, but they did not expect that the matter was actually resolved satisfactorily. While they were full of emotion, they also felt sorry for Li Changshi, who solved the matter. Left a very deep impression.
When the crowd's discussion and emotion subsided a little, Li Tai also stepped up to the platform, bowed to the crowd, and then said loudly: "The imperial court sent me to work here, but the crowd may be arrogant because of their young age, so they chose this one." I am here to inform the people that I am qualified for this official position, and you can trust me without any doubt.
Although young men have little experience, they are more courageous and courageous than the virtuous elders. The king of the country has given me authority, and within the country I have given justice to the people, punishing lawless people, and praising good people! In the first and middle ten days of every month, the state and county offices answer lawsuits every three days, and the people in the jurisdiction who encounter injustice can go to court to hear the verdict. If the lawsuit is justified, all transportation and food expenses will be paid by the state government. "
When the people present heard this, they immediately started talking loudly. After a while, someone shouted: "If we sue a powerful man with a high reputation in the county, can you give justice to him?"
After hearing this, Li Tai laughed, raised his finger and pointed at Li Yunxin, who had hurried back after appeasing the clan members, and asked loudly: "Yunxin, tell all these people what kind of kinship is between you and me? Am I showing favoritism when I settle my past affairs?"
Li Yunxin was stunned for a moment, but he soon came to his senses and shouted loudly in response: "Everyone knows, I am a humble grandson of the same clan as the emperor. My uncle has always been fair in his affairs. Although he has this kinship, he does not dare to seek favoritism. , the people also know the result of the judgment, it can be said that it is fair and no one can blame it!”
Hearing this, Li Yunxin's reaction was quite smart. Li Tai nodded with satisfaction and secretly thought that this grandson is really good. Then he turned to look at the crowd present. If I am ruthless, I won't even let my grandson go. If you common people are wise, you have to Provide me with some evidence of the crimes of the powerful people in the world, so that I can easily kill and unify a group of them.
Only in this way can I continue to grow my power, and at the same time have surplus resources to distribute to you enthusiastic people. Let us work together to restore a pure blue sky in Longyou!
