Hanging pot to help the world, I just want to live forever

Chapter 391
In front of a dark and gloomy cell.

"Zheng Fei, Zheng Fei, you have caused a big disaster, and now you still don't know how to repent? Let me ask you again, do you realize you were wrong?"

In front of the cell, a figure standing in the darkness said something sadly.

The only answer to him was silence.

"Don't say anything? You charged into the Emperor's car, and even threw weapons at the Holy Emperor's mount! Once this guilt is determined, you will not be the only one who will be unlucky!

Think about your own family, think about your relatives and friends. Do you hate them so much that you want to drag them down with you? ! "

The figure in front of the cell became increasingly angry and scolded him loudly.

"I am not wrong."

In the cell, a weak voice finally came out.

"correct?"

The figure in front of the cell began to jump, "What's the use of telling me this? Do you know how many people have been implicated by what you did? Don't think that you have suffered great grievances after being pressed in the cell for several months.

Those people who begged for mercy on your behalf have now moved their heads!You still don’t know how to repent? "

"Which law of the Xia Dynasty have I violated?"

The figure huddled in the cell asked.

"Oh, are you still clinging to your laws? Master Shang, the leader of the Legalists, had resigned from his post a few years ago, and now he is probably gone to the west.

Without Mr. Shang standing in front of the emperor, who do you think you are?Will the new Legalist leader succeed?
With the look in your eyes, even the emperor can't see clearly. It's only because of the kindness of the Xia Dynasty that someone like you can become a street patrol.

Now that you have violated the emperor and you brought out the laws of the Xia Dynasty, who will do justice to you?

The so-called law is nothing more than the sentence above! "

The figure in front of the cell was dancing and dancing. The thick darkness made it difficult to see clearly. What's more, Zheng Fei's eyesight was not good. He could only barely make out a somewhat humanoid thing in the darkness, baring its teeth and claws.

"Although Mozi has passed away, Mohism still exists. Xunzi has left, but Confucianism still exists. Could it be that if Shangzi did not become an official in the Xia Dynasty, Legalism would become empty talk?"

Zheng Fei's weak but firm voice sounded, "I act in accordance with the laws of the Xia Dynasty, and I am not guilty!"

"I'm not guilty of your size!"

The figure in front of the cell finally couldn't stand it anymore and slapped the cell door, "How clear do you want me to be to you? Don't talk about Mohism and Confucianism. Mohism and Confucianism are not as powerful as in temples!"
The Xia Dynasty is the territory of Emperor Xia, and Emperor Xia is the rule!Can you take Emperor Xia's sword and try to kill Emperor Xia?Is there anything more ridiculous than this in the world?You have to figure out who is the master of Xia Dynasty! "

"Humph."

A cold snort sounded. No matter what he said, Zheng Fei remained unmoved, "If you want to chop me, just chop me. Don't talk so much nonsense. I act according to the laws of the Xia Dynasty. Even if Emperor Xia is in front of me, I Not guilty either!"

"Okay, okay, you don't want to take anything hard, right? Then just stay in the cell and let me see who can save you!"

The guy who was talking endlessly in front of the cell door finally left.

Zheng Fei leaned on the cold floor, facing endless darkness.

His eyesight was not good to begin with. Even in broad daylight, he could not clearly see the scene several feet away, only a blurry outline.

Even the things that are right in front of you have to use all your strength to barely see them clearly.

Because of this, he suffered a lot when he was a child.

When ordinary people read, the handwriting on it is always clearly visible.

But most of the time, he could only use bamboo slips to learn, feel through the touch of his hands, and judge by the echo of his ears.

Eyes on his body, more often than not, are always a burden.

There are very few people like him who are born with diseases, but they are not impossible.

If he were elsewhere, his life would be almost over.

But his family is considered wealthy, and he himself has a desire to learn.

Even though he was born with a disability, he still refused to give up.

He taught himself the laws of the Xia Dynasty, measured the words on the bamboo slips inch by inch with his fingers, and tried to figure out the hard work of the sages of the Xia Dynasty through the carvings on the bamboo slips.

Just because his eyes are half-blind does not mean that his heart is also blind.

Through his own efforts, he knew the laws of the Xia Dynasty by heart.

Later, by virtue of his speculation and study of the law, he successfully passed the examination and became an ordinary street patrolman in the imperial capital.

This is not a big position, on the contrary, it can only be regarded as the smallest official, but it also requires real talent and hard work.

He can also rely on himself.

Zheng Fei thinks this is good.

That is to say, in the Xia Dynasty, a person with eye disease could still be tolerated to hold a small amount of power.

As for a higher position?
He didn't think about it. After all, his eyes were diseased. No matter how clear he was in his heart, he couldn't convince others of many things if he couldn't see them clearly.

The days should have passed like this.

Until he caught a guy in the imperial capital who obviously violated the laws of the Xia Dynasty and drove a beast on the street.

No wonder so many people in front of him didn't stop him, allowing the other party to come within his jurisdiction.

The other party is the emperor of Xia Dynasty!

But doesn’t the law also include the emperor?
Zheng Fei had never really thought about this issue in the past.

After all, when Shang was the prime minister, even the Xia Emperor was only a part of the Xia Dynasty's laws, a whole.

Now that Mr. Shang is gone, is Emperor Xia ready to break away from the law?

During the few months he was detained in the cell, Zheng Fei had been thinking about this matter.

Law, emperor, law enforcer.
Among the three, who is on top and who is on the bottom, and who has to assess the situation and make changes due to different identities?
If it could be transformed, wouldn't the law become a toy?
Today, because the other party is Emperor Xia, he can turn a blind eye.

Tomorrow, because the other party is a high official in the court, he will deliberately tolerate it.

After all, what else can the law be considered?

If the other party can ignore the law because the other party has a higher official position than oneself, then what should the law enforcers do?Wouldn't it be better to just recruit warriors directly?
Zheng Fei stayed in the darkness, with waves of filthy stench coming from around him, making people want to gag.

The cage in which he was imprisoned was not big, and it was only about ten feet of land. He could eat, drink, and have sex here. You can imagine how disgusting the smell was.

But the real difficulty is not the surrounding environment, but the unsolved confusion in the heart.

Zheng Fei found a new question, but at this time, he didn't have an answer yet.

Maybe no answer is needed anymore.

He never confessed, and his patience had its limits.

The increasingly frequent "advice" today is proof of this.

It doesn't matter if you die, you don't need to face problems anymore.

Who can avoid death?
Even the leader of Legalism, Mr. Shang, had to resign one day when he got old.

Compared with those sages, he is just an ordinary citizen of the Xia Dynasty. He may not be able to find the answer he wants throughout his life. This is normal.

Zheng Fei leaned his head against the wall, feeling cold.

His consciousness gradually dimmed, and he wanted to step into the gentle night and stop thinking about those complicated things.

"crunch~"

At a certain moment, just when Zheng Fei wanted to fall asleep.

The closed cell door was opened.

A man walked in and woke Zheng Fei up.

Zheng Fei straightened his tired body. Although his body was tortured and his spirit was extremely exhausted, he still straightened his back and looked at the person.

Of course he couldn't see clearly, even in broad daylight, he might not be able to see clearly.

But this was his attitude, and it was the same no matter whether it was the executioner or whoever came. "Do you regret it?"

The person who came in spoke slowly, his voice was very calm, without the irritation of scolding him before, and he asked ordinary questions, like two people meeting by chance on the roadside, and then asked if they had eaten.

"No."

Zheng Fei answered without hesitation.

It will be the same if asked ten thousand times.

He acted in accordance with the laws of the Xia Dynasty and died without regrets.

"You can regret it."

The person who came in said: "As long as you say that you have done something wrong, I will guarantee your innocence. You can also continue to be a street patrolman, and everything before has never happened. You can continue to act in accordance with the laws of the Xia Dynasty, How about upholding the justice in your heart?"

A brief silence.

This is really a very good condition.

As long as he lowers his head and admits his mistake.

That's how it got over.

After all, what happened to bowing his head and admitting his mistake to His Majesty the Emperor of Xia Dynasty?
I don’t know how many people want to kneel down with each other but there is no way!

The fact that he was able to collide with His Majesty and still escape intact is something worthy of bragging.

Could it be that he still wants Emperor Xia Chao to come over and bow his head to apologize to him?
If only one of the two could admit his mistake, out of 1 people, probably 1 people would support Emperor Xia.

He is making a fuss out of a molehill and doesn't know how to adapt to circumstances.

However, Zheng Fei shook his head and said, "I am not wrong."

"why?"

The person who came in asked curiously: "You only need to nod your head to return to your previous life. Now being held in such a narrow cell, survival is a problem."

Your family and friends may also be implicated because of your affairs.If the title of Chong Dijia is really decided, even the ancestral graves will not be preserved.

And all this is just because you are unwilling to bow your head and admit your mistake.

Do you think the persistence at this time is really worth it compared with the risks involved? "

Silence again.

Zheng Fei said nothing.

The person who came in continued: "You nod, this is a small thing, it is your mistake. And Emperor Xia is generous and willing to forgive your mistake, everyone is happy."

Emperor Xia has shown his mercy, and you can go back to where you belong.

But if you don’t nod, then this is a big thing, a huge thing.If you did nothing wrong, then the Emperor of Xia Dynasty could only do something wrong.

Some things, if not spoken out, weigh less than three thousand pounds, but once they are taken seriously, they weigh more than three thousand pounds, and few people can carry them.

Have you figured it out? "

"I can't think clearly."

Zheng Fei struggled to get up from the ground and stood up straight, "If you die, you will die. Who can't die? Even Mozi is not immune. Is my life more precious than Mozi's?"
Mozi was willing to lay down his life for the people of the world, and the world will still remember him.I, Zheng Fei, am not that powerful, and I am not as good as Mozi.But if one day, the laws of the Xia Dynasty become useless, and future generations investigate the matter, I cannot let future generations see that the laws of the Xia Dynasty were broken on me.

As you said, I nodded, this is just a small thing, a trivial thing.

But this small matter will be magnified infinitely because of my choice, letting everyone know that the laws of the Xia Dynasty can vary from person to person and can be compromised.

My death is nothing, people die every day in the Xia Dynasty, what is there to mention?

But I can't do this, let alone happen to me.

That's all. "

Maybe someone will finally break the laws of the Xia Dynasty.

No, someone must have sabotaged it.

Even when Mr. Shang is still there, someone will destroy it.

No matter how good the law is, it still depends on people to implement it.

But those laws that are broken are often due to human selfish desires.

The matters involved did not affect the Emperor of the Xia Dynasty, the decision-maker of the Xia Dynasty.

Previously, even the emperor was following the laws of the Xia Dynasty, so every Legalist could hold his head high and tell every Xia Dynasty citizen who violated the laws that the emperor did not violate the laws. Who do you think he is?

No matter how big you are, can you still be bigger than the emperor of Xia Dynasty?

Since then, isn’t the law supreme?
But now he took the Xia Dynasty law and chopped it on the emperor.

This little thing is no small matter.

It will become a landmark event in the Xia Dynasty. I don’t know how many people in the entire Xia Dynasty are watching.

Maybe this is the real reason why he never died.

His life was nothing.

The impact behind this incident is a real major event for the Xia Dynasty, a major event that can truly affect the Xia Dynasty.

After Shang left, where did the Legalists go?

Zheng Fei, however, chose to use his own life to defend the laws of the Xia Dynasty.

Even though it's possible that after his death, the laws of the Xia Dynasty will be changed immediately, it doesn't matter.

"very good."

Gu Dan nodded, "Yi Yu has a good heart, and even though he died nine times, he still has no regrets. Come out, you are not guilty."

"Ok?"

Zheng Fei, who was ready to die, froze on the spot.

"Let's go."

A hand grasped his arm and led him away from the prison.

After walking through the dim and seemingly long passage, my eyes suddenly opened up.

The sky is bright.

Endless light swayed down from the sky, and Zheng Fei subconsciously covered his eyes with his hands.

After being imprisoned in a cell for several months, it was difficult to even see the light of a large lamp. Now, suddenly, the light of day came, so dazzling that people dared not open their eyes.

After a while, Zheng Fei was finally able to adapt to such a bright and clean environment.

Those gray eyes looked at the person holding him.

Wearing a green robe, although his face was not very realistic, his aura seemed to be out of this world.

He seemed to have seen this figure before.

On the back of the green bull, the Emperor of Xia Dynasty rode the green bull for him.

He didn't know who the other party was.

"By the way, you haven't said what kind of punishment Emperor Qizhi needs to be punished for violating the laws of the Xia Dynasty?"

The man in green robe suddenly asked.

"Those who indulge in ferocious beasts on the street, disturb public order, and have not harmed anyone will be fined one armor for the first time."

Zheng Fei said subconsciously.

"Okay, just do as you say."
