Chapter 690: On the Importance of Laws
After hearing Jin Ling's words, Lord Wang Chong was silent for a moment.
Of course, there is a reason for his silence. Jin Ling's question really made him feel guilty. Wang Bao waited to challenge Caoyuanju Inn that day and injured Huo Bao and caused his death. He was indeed preparing to send the immortals from the township master's mansion to arrest him.
But at this moment, the second prince Shang Yu sent a counselor named Luqiu Zhiping. The guy said that the matter about Jinyuan involves the state system and will be directly dealt with by the Ministry of Justice of the Kingdom, and the Xianxiang has no right to interfere.
Wang Chong was very confused at the time, why did the Jinyuan incident involve the national system? Jinyuan was headquartered in Lingshan Xianxiang, and Jinling's fief was in Shuangshi Xiancun. No matter what, the Xianxiang should deal with the matter. However, after the reasoning was ineffective, he had to obey the orders and take Wang Bao away by the second prince's guard.
Originally, he thought that the second prince could at least be fair for Huo Bao, but he didn't expect that Wang Bao was just taken to ask questions, and was locked up for a few days before he was released back to the Lingshan Immortal Land. Reason? There is no reason. If you want to blame, you can only blame Huo Bao, a mortal, overestimate himself and take the initiative to find fault, and insist on fighting with the immortal. How can the power of the immortal be resisted by him?
The murder case was left unresolved. Wang Bao quickly returned to his original state and was still domineering in the fairyland. He drank wine and gambled big money all day long. Jinyuan sought justice several times, but it was left unresolved.
After being silent for a while, Wang Chong had to say, "Wang Bao's death can be said to be the reason for Huo Bao. He killed a person's life and died by himself, which is also retribution. But the leader of the Wang Gang..." He did not continue, but Jin Ling understood it. What he meant was that although Wang Hu was also wrong, he would not die of sin. With Jin Ling's current strength, he could naturally kill the other party on the spot without much effort, but it was inconsistent with the truth and law.
But on the other side, Wang Hu refused to rely on it and said evilly: "Master Wang, I'm afraid the word retribution has passed, right? It's clear that this kid commits a crime by engaging in trouble! Killing people in public! This is what everyone sees!"
"Gangmaster Wang!" Wang Chong stared at Wang Hu, and his voice was stern, "I'll give you a step, I hope you give me a step, too! How did Huo Bao die? Why did Wang Bao let it go without any trouble, you know in your heart! Everyone knows it in your heart! The person behind you can protect your brother from being fine, I can also assure you that the people behind Jin Ling will definitely protect him and come out without any trouble! Do you believe it?"
The village master is in a fairyland and is the supreme authority. Although Wang Hu was angry, he did not dare to contradict Wang Chong's authority. He had to put away the Nine-ring sword hatefully and stare at Jin Ling: "Boy, today I will let you go when I see Wang's hometown master's face. After I finish my brother's funeral, I will settle the score with you sooner or later!"
He turned around and left with hatred. The gang members quickly lifted Wang Bao's body and followed.
"Zhengwang, why do you have to come out?" Jin Ling said unhappily, "I am just about to leave them all here to comfort Huo and Du's spirit in heaven."
"Judge Jin, Young Master Jinyuan, I know you are amazing now." Wang Chong's face was cold, "not only has such a great power, but his immortal power cultivation has reached a very high level. But I ask you, you have killed Wang Bao and three others casually today. Now you are going to kill Wang Hu and the accompanying Tiger and Wolf Gang again, which will add up to twenty or thirty lives. I don't doubt your strength can do this, but!"
"If you say you have so many lives, what are the charges for killing me?"
"Crime?" Jin Ling frowned, "You are joking, Wang Xiangzhu, shouldn't they be killed? For so many years, the Tiger and Wolf Gang has been enemies of Jinyuan and has done a lot of vicious things openly and secretly."
"If you are enemies with Jinyuan, should you die all?" Wang Chong asked, "Whether a person is an immortal or a mortal, whether he should die or what punishment should be sentenced, it should not be up to you, the young master of Jinyuan alone! If this is the case, everyone can lynch his opponents according to their personal likes and dislikes. What should the village master's mansion, town master's mansion, and city master's mansion do at all levels?"
Jin Ling was stunned. He knew what Wang Chong was going to say.
"The Wangxian Continent is indeed a world where the strong are respected. The strong can decide the life and death of the weak at will, and the strong can deal with the wealth of the weak at will. However, these are just some unwritten secret laws." Wang Chong's tone slowed down, "On the open, the state has national laws and gangs have rules. From the Eternal Night Empire to the small land, no matter which force it is, there is a set of open and just laws and regulations. Although the Northern Jin Kingdom is small, the laws are also strict. I would like to ask the Lord Jin, what is the basis for killing Wang Hu and his gang members? What is the basis for directly killing Wang Bao?"
"Justice Jin, this place is the Lingshan Immortal Township, and it is also under the jurisdiction of the township master's government, not your fiefdom. I don't care about your actions on the fiefdom, but I will definitely not agree to do this in the fairyland. Brother Wang Hu has a way to kill him. Even if he is guilty, it is not your turn to kill him! You come and kill him! Unless they take the initiative to come and fight back, you can fight back, otherwise, no matter what method you kill them, it is a crime and will be arrested and governed by the township master's government!"
Wang Chong said a very old-fashioned rhetoric. This rhetoric is now sneered by people in most parts of the continent. To this day, no matter what race, they believe in the concept of power first, believing that power is axiom, and that government officials who truly act completely according to the law are rare. In fact, it is not that they do not act according to the law, but that the current law is powerless to do anything about the grievances among immortals, even the law of immortals.
However, Jin Ling, whose mind was deeply influenced by the dream world, still felt that he recognized this statement.
"In other words, it is the law." Wang Chong saw that his words seemed to touch the young man in front of him, his tone was even more relaxed, and he was a little old-fashioned. "A man should govern a small place, perhaps his will can easily control everything in this small place, and whatever he says is what he does is what he does. But when the place expands, is ten times the size of this small place? A hundred times? A thousand times? Without a compelling unified law, his willful action will only become the source of chaos!"
"I have always wanted to say this to you before you killed Xianjialou and Huayu Club. Even if Song Xiaoyuan and Mu Huayu have their way of dying, many of their subordinates are just coerced to do it. Do they have to die? Some subordinates who have not even attacked you once died in a melee. Are they not raised by their parents in life, so they will die unjustly?" "Jinyuan has expanded greatly now, very quickly." Wang Chong said, "If all your subordinates follow your actions, and do not care about your enemies, regardless of the rules and laws, just settle their grudges and breathe a sigh of relief, then think about it carefully, what is the situation in Jinyuan in the future? I believe that no matter how large your scale is, you will not be able to achieve good results in the end."
Wang Chong's words became slower and slower, and Jin Ling became more and more scared as he thought about it, and even broke out in a cold sweat.
Indeed, if the grudges with the Tiger and Wolf Gang are not to protect themselves, but to take the initiative to kill and kill lives, it will indeed disrupt the laws of the world. Although this laws have become increasingly declining and are less and less recognized by all forces, it is a consensus on the order of the world after all.
"Wang Bao has committed evil and has been punished. I have been unable to bring it to justice because of the kingdom's interference. I have always felt guilty. However, killing arbitrary is not a solution. Does Wang Hu really have the guilt of death? Does the gang members under him really have the guilt of death?"
