Chapter 1022: The Dagger Is Revealed: The Dagger of the Prisoner's Dilemma! Without Investigation, There Is No Right to Speak!

Ying Chengyu nodded happily: "Very good!"

"In the past, Lord Xinling stole a talisman to save Zhao. Although it was a happy story for a moment, it should make us think deeply."

"The king's order may not come from the king's hand, and the tiger talisman may not be given by the king."

"When something happens, you should think more about it."

"Don't make hasty conclusions based on an accusation, an appearance, or a royal order!"

The officials wished they could plug their ears and pretend they were deaf.

Mature legal officials know very well that even if Wang Ling is wrong, so what? Wang Ling is Wang Ling!

Even if the order is not issued by the king, it still represents the authority of the king, and they must obey it!

Otherwise, it would be disloyal to the royal power!

If you dare to question the king's order or even raise troops to ask the king whether the order was issued by the king, it is not only disloyal, but also treason!

Not to mention that he did it, even if he just said such remarks, he had evil intentions!

But, did you say this from Lord Changan?

Oh, that's okay.

Regardless of whether the king's order is true or false, whether Chang'an Jun will comply or not depends on his mood.

However, Ying Fusu looked like a good boy who had been abducted to a nightclub. His waist was straightened unconsciously, his breathing was a little rapid, his eyes were slightly red, and he murmured repeatedly: "No, this is not right! This is not in line with what Masters want." Word!"

"Yes! Yes! Yes!"

"What uncle said should be right!"

"Jun Xinling can steal the talisman to save Zhao, so how can Wang Ling be absolutely the king's true will?"

"Since even Wang Ling may not be the King's true will, how can the candidates' accusations be necessarily the truth!"

“Without investigation, there is no right to speak!”

"Without investigation, the truth cannot be told!"

What Ying Chengxuan said was completely different from the teachings of Chun Yuyue and others, and also completely different from the rhetoric and theories of everyone Ying Fusu had come into contact with.

After all, even now, when ideas are blooming, and even though Lord Xinling has stolen the talisman to save Zhao, there are still few people who dare to directly say that Wang Ling is not necessarily true.

However, Ying Zheng's performance and Ying Chengyu's slightly celebrity-like remarks made Ying Fusu, who was not yet mature in thinking, unable to refute and accept the situation.

Ying Fusu stood up fiercely, faced Ying Chengyu and solemnly raised his hands: "Thank you, uncle, for your advice!"

"Nephew is taught a lesson!"

Seeing Ying Fusu's sincere and suddenly enlightened expression, the corners of Ying Chengqiao's mouth could not help but turn up slightly: "Very kind."

"Fusu thinks, what should a good official do when faced with such a situation?"

Ying Fusu said without hesitation: "Collect all the accusations and first select the evidence that multiple candidates jointly accuse."

"Then the evidence will be handed over to the commander, and the law officials will be asked to investigate it to find the evidence and the perpetrator, and then hand it over to the county lieutenant to pre-judge the severity of the crime."

"The minor cases will be judged by the local county magistrate, the more serious cases will be judged by the local county magistrate, and those involving the death penalty will be transferred to Xianyang, where the court captain and the father will judge the crime."

"From the moment the evidence is investigated, the censor must be ordered to supervise the whole process!"

Ying Cheng nodded and said, "Very good."

"This is the way to be an official!"

"Just keep working."

Ying Fusu excitedly raised his hands and said, "Wei!"

Filled with an unprecedented sense of mission, Ying Fusu took the transcripts sent by the legal officials and arranged them in categories. He also took advantage of his free time to number all the accusations and extract the repeated accusations.

In Linzi City, candidates are either anxiously tossing and turning, waiting for the fork in the road of their lives, or boarding a boat on Taigong Lake to express their accumulated depression after long-term preparation for the exam.

Therefore, outside the city of King Qi, the common people gathered together to discuss all night, thinking about what kind of gifts they could give to Ying Chengyu, and also wondering whether the candidates' accusations were serious enough that they would need to move their entire family overnight.

Therefore, on the King's City of Qi, 1,500 county and county soldiers closed the gates of the King's City and climbed up the city wall to inspect the surrounding areas. The entourage opened the arsenal and took out arrows, preparing for a deadly battle to defend the city. Thousands of family soldiers were also personally involved. Wearing heavy armor and standing ready outside the Chang'an Bookstore, the sword can be ready to taste the blood of an anxious dog jumping over the wall at any time.

Therefore, in the city of King Qi, Ying Chengxuan led more than a hundred examiners such as Ying Fusu and Qi Diaoli to review the test papers day and night, sharpening their knives!

Qin Wangzheng August 10th.

The faint morning light illuminated Chang'an Bookstore.

Ying Fusu, who had a tired face, oily hair, and clothes that smelled sour, had bright eyes.

Taking a deep breath of oxygen to relieve the fatigue of his brain, Ying Fusu picked up the Chang'an paper and walked to Ying Chengyu, and said solemnly: "Uncle!"

"All the candidates' accusations have been transcribed and summarized!"

"A total of 131 people were accused by the candidates of having the intention and ability to disrupt our country, Daqin, and 108 of them had evidence of their crimes written down by the candidates."

"Although no one has cited the evidence of the former Qi Gongzi Tian Huan's crime, there are as many as 2,253 candidates who have accused the former Qi Gongzi Tian Huan of having evil intentions in Da Qin."

"The Chai clan in Chailuo County was second. A total of 231 candidates identified the Chai clan members with evidence of their crimes. Forty-three of the criminal evidences were repeated."

"After Yuling County was merged into the Yu family again..."

A full quarter of an hour later, Ying Fusu finally finished reading the summary results. He looked at Ying Chengyu with jealous eyes and said, "Uncle!"

"If the accusations made by these candidates are true, then all one hundred and eight of them shall be executed! Immediately!"

Although the candidate's accusation is not enough to be conclusive evidence, in Ying Chengyu's view, the candidate's accusation is at least 80% credible.

The reason is very simple. All candidates who participated in this examination must have read the Qin Law, and as long as they have read the Qin Law, they should know that there is an important clause in the Qin Law.

False accusation and counter-attack!

In short, if Ju Chang accused Chai Lue of murder, and it was later found that Chai Lue did not kill anyone, Ju Chang would be sentenced for murder!

Although there is no false accusation and counter-attack in the "New District Provisional Law" currently being implemented in the ancient Qi area, candidates should be able to understand the attitude of the Qin Dynasty towards false accusations through this law.

Ying Chengjiao smiled brightly: "Sure enough."

"If you don't make a nest when fishing, you won't catch much."

"If you make a nest when fishing, you will catch a lot!"

"It's worth it that I have spread so much bait for so long."

"This harvest will not disappoint me!"

Since entering the ancient Qi land, Ying Chengjiao has chopped off more than a thousand heads according to the law. Ying Chengjiao's unconcealed butcher knife and step-by-step high-pressure policy have made all the people in the ancient Qi land tremble with fear and their hearts and galls are broken.

However, Ying Chengjiao's move was just to create an atmosphere full of oppression.

What was revealed at the end of the test paper was Ying Chengjiao's final dagger - the blade of the prisoner's dilemma!

If all candidates betrayed the people and answered the third question, then the third question would be harmful to all candidates and would only allow Ying Chengjiao to reap the benefits.

If most of the candidates betrayed other people, then those who did not betray other people would be regarded as diehards by Ying Chengjiao. Even if the clan had no intention of rebellion and had not committed any illegal acts, they would still be the focus of Ying Chengjiao's attention.

If only one or several candidates betrayed other people, then this candidate would become a horse bone purchased by Ying Chengjiao with a thousand gold coins. Even if there were some minor problems in the clan, they would be temporarily ignored. The candidates who did not betray other people might die and their clans would be destroyed because of their backstabs.

Although everyone knew that the Qin Dynasty had launched this special examination for the ancient Qi land with great fanfare, whether for the purpose of selecting officials or for political propaganda, the result must not be fruitless.

If all candidates did not betray the people and did not answer the third question, Ying Chengjiao could only be forced to accept it and assume that the third question did not exist!

However, the candidates had just seen this question in the prison-like room where they could not talk to each other. How could they believe that the remaining 3,000 candidates would not betray the people? !

More importantly, among the more than 3,000 candidates, there are not only children of the common people who are as unclean as them, but also many children of the common people who are incapable of doing evil!

They have no choice!

They can only rush to the fishing net opened by Ying Chengjiao!

Ying Fusu, Qi Diaoli and all the law officials stood up, smiled and bowed: "Congratulations to Chang'an Jun!"

"Congratulations to the people of the old Qi!"

"Congratulations to the Great Qin!"

Ying Chengjiao stood up and stretched his sore shoulders, bowed and returned the greetings: "I still have to trouble you to take more care of the review of the test papers, and Qi Diaoli will supervise carefully."

"Fusu, follow your uncle!"

Ying Fusu was slightly stunned: "Where are you going, uncle?"

The test papers have not been reviewed yet, the rankings have not been determined, and Ying Chengjiao has not yet completed the most important thing for this visit to the old Qi.

Are you leaving now?

Ying Chengjiao turned out the case, put his sword on it with one hand, and showed Ying Fusu a sunny and warm smile: "Kill people."

Ying Fusu: !!!

Ying Fusu was stunned: "Uncle taught me before that I have no right to speak without investigation."

"Even Wang Ling may be false, not to mention the accusation of the examinee. An excellent official should first find out the truth before making a judgment."

"Uncle praised what my nephew said before, thinking that the process he said was the way of being an official."

"But now my uncle wants to kill people directly without investigation and without judgment by the officials?!"

"Uncle! This is neither in line with what my uncle said nor the laws of the Qin Dynasty!"

It has only been a few days since Ying Chengjiao told Ying Fusu to investigate first and then punish?

Ying Chengjiao himself did not follow his reasoning?

This is too double standard!

Ying Fusu was directly confused by Ying Chengjiao!

Ying Chengjiao walked past Ying Fusu and walked out of Chang'an Bookstore. He opened the door of the bookstore with both hands, and looked back and smiled in the rising sun: "Uncle is not an excellent official."

Ying Fusu:...

Ying Fusu really couldn't refute what Ying Chengjiao said!

Ying Chengjiao's smile became brighter: "Of course, it doesn't matter."

"Uncle, teach Fusu another truth."

"Special matters should be handled specially!"

"As for how to handle it specially, Fusu should see it in person."

Ying Fusu followed Ying Chengjiao in silence but full of curiosity. He stood one step behind Ying Chengjiao and said seriously: "Confucius said: If you say something, you should do it, and if you do something, you should do it. Why don't gentlemen be honest!"

"Even if your uncle is your uncle, if your uncle doesn't do what he says, your nephew should also strongly advise him!"
