"This is the duty of our officials!"

Meng Yi spoke modestly, and then looked at Li Yang expectantly.I thought: come and praise us, come and praise us.

however……

The words of praise and meritorious deeds did not arrive, but Li Yang actually asked him: "So, if you want to find me, you want to ask for merit?"

"This..." Meng Yi was embarrassed for a moment, thinking to himself, aren't you asking this knowingly?

So he nodded and said with a smile: "Exactly, the officials of our department have made great contributions. As the minister of the Ministry of Punishment, it is also the duty of the subordinate officials to ask for credit for the officials of our department. Hehe..."

Unexpectedly, Li Yang gave him a blank stare, and said, "Ask for credit? You still have the nerve to ask for credit? Do you know that the new law has flaws and deficiencies?"

"what?"

He didn't wait for the praise, but instead waited for a question, Meng Yi was also stupid.

This... Could it be that something went wrong somewhere?

Meng Yi glanced at the subordinates behind him, and his subordinates were also stunned, they didn't get the praise, why did they feel like they were going to be reprimanded today...

Chapter 369 It Must Be True

Meng Yi is not stupid. In today's situation, it is obvious that the newly revised law has caused some trouble. Otherwise, Li Yang would not be able to question everyone like this.

Since there was a mistake in the law, he didn't dare to be negligent, so he immediately asked cautiously: "I don't know which law has deficiencies, but I hope the Lord Zhen will express it!"

Li Yang sighed: "Once the laws compiled by the Ministry of Punishment are completed, the provinces, counties and counties will issue new laws for implementation. However, the Ministry of Punishment has no knowledge of or cares about whether the new laws have defects or deficiencies. It's a big mistake!"

After being trained by Li Yang, Meng Yi also realized his lack of work.

Li Yang was right. Once the law was written, it was promulgated to be implemented in all provinces, counties and counties, but he did not think about the situation after the implementation of the new law in various places, and whether there were any shortcomings. The Ministry of Criminal Justice did not consider it. arrive.

Thinking of this, Meng Yi immediately admitted his mistake: "This is indeed the negligence of the lower officials."

A dozen or so officials of the Ministry of Punishment immediately said in unison: "I am negligent, and I am willing to accept the punishment!"

Li Yang glanced at everyone, sighed, punishment?He didn't want to punish everyone.

Moreover, Li Yang also knew that they had worked hard to cultivate the laws of the Great Qin Dynasty, and they still cultivated such a sound law, which is not insignificant.

To be honest, Li Yang didn't want to reprimand them.

After all, the law was made by man, and since it was made by man, it cannot be perfect, and it is inevitable that the new law will have deficiencies and flaws.Not to mention the Qin Dynasty, even in the world that Li Yang came to, the so-called society governing the country by law, didn't the laws also have many flaws and imperfections?

However, since the flaws and insufficiencies in the law have appeared, and Li Yang has encountered an unjust case, Li Yang can't ignore it, and he can't help but give a few words.

Because the law is not like other things, it can be tolerated, vague, and muddled along.

The law is used to govern the country, the law is used to judge cases, the law is related to the stability of a country, the life and death of a family, and the interests of everyone.

Therefore, the law must be serious, and there is no room for randomness.

Perhaps in the eyes of these Criminal Ministry officials, it may be just an unavoidable flaw and deficiency, but for a family, for a person involved in the case, this small flaw and flaw may be fatal, and it may be fatal. It makes them feel like the sky is falling and brings hopelessness into their lives.

Viewed in this light, therefore, the law has to be taken seriously.At the same time, these officials who are in charge of the laws of a country should also have a serious and serious attitude towards the laws.

Therefore, even though Li Yang knew that these officials of the Ministry of Punishment had made great contributions, he still had to be reprimanded.

Glancing at the crowd, Li Yang said: "What's the use of punishment? I just want you to understand that enacting laws is only the prerequisite for ruling the country according to the law, and the policy of ruling the country by law must be implemented smoothly. If you want to rule the country by law, the world will last for a long time. , and must have the attitude of constantly perfecting the law.”

"Zhen Guojun's instruction, we will keep it in mind!" Meng Yi and the officials of the Ministry of Punishment hurriedly responded.

Li Yang calmed down a little, and then asked: "How do you judge when you fight privately?"

"The crime of private fighting, according to the law, depending on the seriousness of the circumstances, the sentence will range from three months to six years." Meng Yi replied immediately, and then asked curiously: "Mr. Zhen, is there something wrong with this law?"

Li Yang shook his head: "There is nothing wrong with this law, but does your Ministry of Punishment know that there is a good and righteous person who suffered punishment and prison because of this law?"

"This..." Meng Yi was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to reply.Because... a person who fights privately with others, even if he is a good and righteous person, but the law is about deeds, not about the heart.

What does that mean?

That is to say, the law doesn’t care whether your heart is good or bad, or whether you are a good person or a so-called bad person. things.So, since this person was originally a good and righteous person, is his private fight innocent?

Therefore, Meng Yi felt a sense of innocence, thinking that the question Li Yang asked was a little bit off from the fundamentals and arguments of the law.

The officials of the Ministry of Punishment below also looked surprised, apparently unable to understand how Li Yang would say such a thing.Therefore, for a while, everyone felt that the laws they cultivated by themselves were not wrong.

Seeing the birdlike behavior of the crowd, Li Yang knew that these guys really didn't realize that there was a problem with this law.

After a wry smile, Li Yang had no choice but to tell the truth about the case: "There is an aspiring young man in Xianyang who is chivalrous and righteous, but just last month, he was drinking in a restaurant and saw a rich man molesting a girl , because of his righteous words, he stood up to stop the rich son, and ended up fighting with the rich son, and then committed the crime of private fighting for this, and was sentenced to three years in prison. How do you feel about this case?"

Gah!

Meng Yi's jaw dropped.

The officials of the Ministry of Punishment were also dumbfounded.

How do you feel?

This clearly shows that the behavior of that aspiring young man is a righteous act, and this case is a disaster for him!

"Why are you silent?" Li Yang couldn't help asking when he saw that this guy was speechless.

Meng Yi and the officials of the Ministry of Criminal Justice thought that the law on the crime of fighting privately that they formulated was correct, and they even believed that Li Yang's question violated the fundamental rule of the law that the law does not care about one's actions. As a result... the case turned back He gave everyone a sharp slap in the face.

All of a sudden, all the officials lowered their heads.

Meng Yi said with a face of shame: "From the perspective of this law, there are indeed huge omissions, and the crime of private fighting cannot be generalized. It is my fault."

Li Yang glanced at everyone, and said: "Now I finally know that there is something wrong with this law? If this law continues to be enforced, who will dare to stand up for righteousness in the future? When bad people oppress good people, wouldn't it be called A good person can only be oppressed by others and not resist?"

Everyone said repeatedly: "I know I'm wrong."

Li Yang didn't seem to stop there, then he turned around and pointed to the door of the punishment department lobby, saying: "Also, did you see a woman outside the door?"

Everyone turned their heads and glanced outside the lobby, and nodded repeatedly.

In fact, everyone had noticed that woman a long time ago, and they were even curious about who that woman was, and she was holding a child in her arms, how could she be with Li Yang?

"Dare to ask Lord Zhen, who is that woman?" Meng Yi asked.

Li Yangdao: "You asked a good question, to be honest, that woman came from Shandong a long way away, and she came to Xianyang to complain!"
