Chapter 299 Identification of Loyalty

The original food of the Golden Eagle Empire was divided into three types: military grain, civilian grain and commercial grain. Military food is naturally used by the army, while civilian food can only be circulated in this province*. Only commercial grain can be circulated across provinces. However, the batch of grain given by that grain bank to Deng Xinwu is a batch of civilian grain.

*People's food, etc., is a serious crime if it is intended to disrupt the imperial grain market. Deng Xinwu appealed several times, but there was no result at all. Soon he was sentenced to exile - he was asked to guard around the dirty place next to the boundless sea for ten years. During his imprisonment, the family property was also auctioned at a low price, almost all the industries fell into the hands of Niu Hao'an, and even nearly 200 tenant farmers were driven away from the land.

Deng Xinwu's wife knew that the garrison was dangerous, and Deng Xinwu was framed again. If she got there, it would be a dead word. Therefore, he rushed back to his mother's house overnight, pawned all his jewelry to several sisters, gathered a sum of money, bribed people, and exchanged Deng Xinwu with a scapegoat halfway. But at this moment, the two were penniless and could not show their faces, so they had to go up the mountain to become wild men. But even so, there are many beasts around such a family in the deep mountains, and the situation is in danger.

However, fortunately, Niu Hao'an was too vicious. The 200 tenant farmers had nowhere to go, and thinking about the benefits of the Deng family, the young people in it united and went back to the mountains to Deng Xinwu. However, with a large population and security, the surrounding land is not enough. So I had no choice but to come out to grab some money to make a living.

Su Minghai listened to it - he had seen a lot of these things that relied on power to seize family property in his previous life, but after arriving in this world, although there were many killing and killing things, it was really the first time he had heard of such a means like the viscount Niu.

This button is really well done - whether it is borrowed or sold, and the grain is given to Deng Xinwu, a local, and everything is legal and reasonable. But how could Deng Xinwu know that this batch of grain from the grain bank could not be shipped out of the county for sale - he was afraid that the other party had deliberately guided him to pull this batch of grain to Wuyuan County*, which is unreasonable! And now Deng Xinwu secretly replaced the scapegoat, which is another major crime and can no longer turn over. The button clearly bought the sinner's property. Everyone knew that it was embezzling private property, but there was nothing wrong with it.

"Now it's just your words, and I can't judge whether it's true or not... Alas, but in any case, you have committed a crime... When I go to Longshou County, I will inquire carefully if this is true. Humph! Official law is like a furnace, and although Niu Haan is a viscount, there must be a day of retribution!"

Yu Shenxing has actually believed 70% of Deng Xinwu's words, but after all, he is cautious, so he can point out that it still needs to be identified before it can be decided.

Deng Xinwu suddenly knelt down again and cried, "If my lord can avenge this for my Deng family, I, Deng Xinwu, am very grateful and will be bound to repay your kindness!"

But Su Minghai is extremely strange - this New Haan arrangement can be said to be seamless and there is no law at all. I think that if I don't have such a ability and encounter such a thing, I really have no choice but to end up together, and there is no other way. Seeing Yu Shenxing talking like this, Su Minghaiqi said, "Lord Yu, I don't seem to have any flaws to find in this matter... Even if it is really true, it seems that the lord can't do anything about this count."

Yu Shenxing raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? Lord Su, why can't you do anything about it?

Su Minghai said, "There is nothing illegal about the whole process of borrowing money and grain. If you really want to seize his handle, you can only conspire with the county guard to auction the property at a low price."

Yu Shenxing laughed and said, "If you arrest him according to a crime, why can't you ask for it under Wumu?"

Su Minghai knew that Yu Shenxing was famous. Seeing that he suddenly said such words, he was surprised and hesitated, "This...this is not..."

Yu Shenxing knew what Su Minghai was thinking and patted his arm and said, "Law is nothing more than natural and humane. How Lord Su thinks so is too formal."

Su Minghai is still a little puzzled: "I know that the law needs to conform to the morality of the public, but what is the meaning of the existence of the law in such a hasty way?"

Yu Shenxing said: "The judgment of sin by the law should guide the morality of the public to be in line with national interests and reflect the aspirations of the people's hearts. If you blindly stick to the provisions of the law and violate the hearts of the people, it will sooner or later become a word game played by the powerful."

The four words of the word game are like shouting in the head. Su Minghai suddenly woke up and thought to himself that in his previous life, officials and businessmen colluded, and power was everything. Ordinary people have nowhere to redress their grievances. Senior officials and dignitaries can casually find the basis from the law, but it is not the words that have become the hands of the powerful. Game? He had been a small official for many years in his previous life, and he was also a gainer in this kind of word game, so he thought it was reasonable to follow the law. For a moment, he did not expect that the law should also conform to the principle of nature.

Yu Shenxing pondered for a while and suddenly said, "How can Lord Su know that more than 1,200 years ago, he looked at another great Song Empire in Zezhou?"

Su Minghai was still thinking deeply about what Shenxing had just said. Hearing this, he was stunned and said, "I naturally know that this Song Empire was destroyed by the barbarians in the Shenyan Mountains."

Yu Shenxing said: "The Song Empire was forced by the rat-tailed country and urged to look at the north of Zezhou. During the Yongxing period after the north withdrawal, a great loyal minister, Yue, died of injustice. During the Yongxi period, another traitor Han Jeff came out. After being imprisoned, he went on hunger strike and died. I don't know what Lord Su think of these two people?

Although Su Minghai has read many mainland history books, he did not study these two people. He just knew that Yue Tingping was a figure who appeared when the Song Empire had just retreated to the north. He was single-out to the south and almost recovered nearly half of the land in the south of Zezhou. However, at that time, the old emperor of the Song Empire was imprisoned in the Rattail Kingdom. The new emperor who withdrew to the north was worried that the Rattail Kingdom would endanger his throne after the defeat. He won 12 gold medals in a row, recalled Yue Tingping, and finally died in Fengbo Pavilion under an unwarranted charge. Han Jeff was the prime minister of the empire that appeared in the middle and late period of the northern retreat. He was also a southern expedition and consumed people's power. Finally, he was convicted and imprisoned, but was included in the later history of the Song Empire. At this moment, seeing Yu Shenxing ask such a question, Su Minghai had no choice but to say so.

Yu Shenxing said, "Lord Su has never thought that these two people advocate the southern expedition, but why are they loyal and traitor?"
