The Great Qin Empire---Qin Li

Chapter 86: Chapter 86 The Majesty of Qin Law



Heifu looked at the situation outside the yard, which was very similar to the situation when the police were surrounded during the crackdown on kidnapping in later generations.

In the eyes of the residents outside, the people in the house were the ones who took away their own or their neighbors' wives, and they were also the ones who would bring misfortune to this village. They had been waiting outside for a long time, and under the loud call of the prison gate, they began to become more and more anxious and uneasy...

At this time, Li Xian also walked into the house, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with some trembling: "Tingzhang, the situation is not good. The people outside may rush in at any time! I don't know when Xiao Tao can bring the reinforcements!"

Before Heifu came, he left Xiao Tao outside and told him to act according to the circumstances. Heifu thought that after hearing the whistle in the village, Xiao Tao should immediately run down the mountain to ask for help from various pavilions, towns and even the county town. How many miles has he run?

"We can't wait until dark."

Hei Fu looked at everyone in the house and made up his mind: "We have to get out before nightfall, otherwise, there will be no way out!"

The night will inspire people's cruelty and evil thoughts. The night is long, and they will die if they throw a fire. Hei Fu doesn't want to take the risk of waiting for rescue that may arrive at an unknown time.

Ji Ying was a little unbelievable: "Brother Hei Fu, are we going out like this?"

"We have a crossbow machine, which can deter the people from getting close."

Hei Fu handed the two-foot sword to Ji Ying at this time, and he took the crossbow, which was seized from the tomb robbery. It is really a good thing that is strictly prohibited from circulating among the people. It is very powerful. It can even shoot through the human body within ten steps. If it is hit in the vitals within twenty steps, there is no way to survive. It is the most deadly weapon in this kind of alley blockade.

"But although the crossbow is sharp, there is only one..." Ji Ying murmured.

There are 200 people outside. Although they don't have any weapons, they can be smashed into pulp with just stones. It's hard for one person to be the fourth hand. Even if Hei Fu and Dongmen Bao are very skilled in martial arts, even if the crossbow can deter people from making any rash moves, it's useless...

"Now, we can only take a gamble."

Hei Fu stood up and asked Ji Ying and Li Xian to take the head of the village and Tian Dian respectively. Oh, and they also had to shut up the two of them to prevent them from talking nonsense.

"We still have two hostages in our hands, which may make them afraid to act rashly."

"That's not guaranteed."

Li Xian muttered, "The people in this blind mountain are used to being fierce. If they feel that they are in danger of extermination, they may not care about the lives of the village officials and the clan leader, but also want to prevent us from leaving."

Hei Fu nodded, "In that case, in addition to weapons and hostages, we have a third thing."

"What is it?" Everyone in the room looked at Hei Fu, wanting to know if he had any trump cards yet.

Hei Fu took out the two-foot bamboo slips hanging from his waist, which were densely written with the terms of the Qin Law.

"And the majesty of the Qin Law!"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

"The majesty of the Qin Law?"

Hei Fu knew that his words would be very funny in the future, and would definitely make the criminals holding the knife laugh out loud.

Laws, laws are not immediately effective. In front of thugs and villains, they often become empty words. The weapon of law is often only useful in the trial after the incident. .

But it was different in Qin, where the Legalists ruled the country.

Qin law was not the civil law that was warm and affectionate to everyone in later generations, but a cold and cruel axe and stick. Everyone had to weigh it.

Hei Fu and his men were not anti-trafficking police who could be insulted and surrounded by villains and scoundrels at will, but the court's hawks and dogs, and the Anlu County's heavenly dogs who hated evil as much as they hated evil. Anyone who dared to pull a hair on his tail would have his neck cut off by the law!

"Although I don't want to admit it, this is our last resort!"

...

The residents outside were already discussing whether to rush in or set fire to force people out, but they didn't expect Hei Fu to take the initiative to come out and were shocked.

Seeing Heifu striding towards them with a crossbow in his left hand and a two-foot-long bamboo slip in his right hand, they stepped back subconsciously.

In the eyes of the villagers who had not left the village for a long time, the head of the pavilion was a very important official as far as they knew, and they still had a little awe in their hearts...

Heifu also saw the fear of the people outside. Looking at the two hundred dark and thin faces, he said loudly:

"I am the head of the Huyang Pavilion, a Qin official appointed by the Qin government! You all know the matter. I came to the blind mountain this time to find the woman who was abducted and sold... This matter is against the law. If you are stubborn and obstruct the investigation of this pavilion chief, the crime will be aggravated and regarded as a gang robbery! At that time, I am afraid that you will not be able to escape death!"

Some people were whispering. In fact, they had already understood that this kind of thing was illegal, but everyone in the village kept it secret. Who knew? Until today, this matter was exposed by Heifu and others. What should we do now?

Although most of the villagers are illiterate and live in remote areas, at least a few people go to serve in the countryside and county every year, and have more or less experienced the harshness of Qin law. It is not like in later generations, even if you beat the police and block the investigators, you will eventually be treated leniently because the law does not punish the masses, and nothing will happen.

At this time, I heard Heifu say again: "If you open the road and let us go, I may plead for you! Let you not be sentenced to death!"

Heifu is deceiving the villagers. After the reckoning, those who should die will still die, and those who should be sentenced to city punishment will still be sentenced to city punishment. He will not ask for half of the face for the guilty.

In Qin, unless it is a pardon issued by the King of Qin himself, there is no such thing as extrajudicial mercy!

Sure enough, when this was said, everyone was in an uproar. When they learned that the crime was not punishable by death, their determination to resist was reduced.

One step, two steps, Hei Fu slowly moved forward.

Three steps, four steps, the residents at the outermost edge also retreated unconsciously.

It was only fifty steps away from the gate of the village. Hei Fu only needed a moment to leave...

At this time, the head of the village and Tian Dian were also restrained and escorted out by Ji Ying and Li Xian. Behind them followed Ju and the four women who were abducted and sold. Although Ju was timid, he still gritted his teeth to protect his daughter. Dongmen Bao was wearing armor and holding a halberd in both hands. No one dared to look into his fierce eyes.

Seeing the leader of the village being captured, the residents were even more frightened, but when they saw that the women they bought were also among them, those families started to shout again.

"That woman was bought by my brothers and I with more than 2,000 yuan!"

"What will we do with the money if she leaves!"

"Yes, she hasn't given birth to a baby yet."

In the eyes of these fools, handing over the money and the woman is reasonable and reasonable. What's the problem? How can they take away the woman they bought with money?

So a dark-skinned man wanted to come over and forcibly drag away the crazy woman named "Yun". When the woman saw the man approaching, she was immediately terrified and screamed.

Hei Fu raised his crossbow without hesitation and shot at the man!

"Ah!"

The man fell to the ground, and saw the crossbow arrow deeply penetrated into the flesh, blood gushed out, and he covered his thigh and screamed.

Can't shoot? Not possible.

In this era, with Qin Lu backing him up, Hei Fu could happily smash the village head with a bowl of chicken blood, and he could also pull the trigger on the thugs and the people without hesitation, without having to be timid and cowardly "die in the line of duty".

But with this incident, the atmosphere became tense again, and a group of villagers were about to rush up, but were forced back by Hei Fu who was re-stringing the crossbow.

"Whoever dares to come over will be the ghost under my crossbow!" Hei Fu raised the crossbow and aimed it at anyone who wanted to offend them.

Ji Ying and Li Xian, who were behind, also put their weapons across the necks of the village head and Tian Dian, and threatened loudly.

"If you move again, these two will see blood!"

Under the dual deterrence of the crossbow and the hostages, the villagers retreated again. They slowly made way, and more than ten people including Hei Fu walked through the middle on thin ice.

At this moment, the village gate was only ten steps away from them...

However, there was still a person blocking the gate! It was the village guard who had just organized the villagers to block the gate, named "Zhong Sheng".

Zhong Sheng was the third most important person in Blind Mountain after the village head and Tian Dian, but in terms of age and seniority, he was a few points older than the two. Because he had served as a garrison soldier and had been to far away places, he had a wider range of knowledge and more experience in dealing with Qin officials.

Just now, he came to get weapons and planned to distribute them to the villagers, but he didn't expect Hei Fu and others to be so bold and walked out directly. Zhong Sheng couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

Seeing that the villagers were frightened by Heifu and gave way, and were about to reach the inner gate, Zhongsheng hurried over and shouted to stop them:

"Don't be fooled, you two!"

Zhongsheng pointed at Heifu and said, "This pavilion chief is deceiving you. The village head has long told me that anyone who buys a kidnapped woman will be dead! As for the others, they will also be punished, and the lightest punishment is to serve as a prisoner! They must not be allowed to leave!"
