Through Time Chapter 247

When confronted with this question, Rees was stunned.

According to the Great Qin Law, anyone who stole for any reason would have one of his hands cut off.

So, of course, this one called Zhang San was going to have his hand cut off.

But any sane person would have noticed the unreasonableness in it.

At this point, Li Si gritted his teeth and said

“According to the Great Qin Law, it is natural that the hand should be cut off.”

Zhao Lang smiled as he quizzed and

“Then without a hand, neither of these two can live.”

“So, Uncle Li, this law made by the Great Qin Legalist is to force to death a two people who steal food because they are hungry.”

“Just ask, what is the use of having such a law?”

Li Si said, with red eyes.

“The law is the law! The fault lies in the fact that Zhang San should not have stolen in any case!”

“And how innocent is the family that was stolen from!”

Zhao Lang laughed and returned.

“Uncle Li, you are also right.”

“But in that case, neither the family who was stolen from, nor Zhang San, gained any benefit through the law, so what is the point of such a law?”

Li Si had slowly returned to his senses by this time, and said, fiercely

“If everyone obeyed the law, such a situation would not arise!”

Unwilling to say much about human greed, Zhao Lang laughed instead and

“And the law is only the lowest moral requirement for people; if a person boasts that he or she obeys the law, it is entirely possible that this person is scum.”

Hearing this, Li Si frowned at once to the point that

“That’s impossible, how can such a person be scum?”

Zhao Lang asked, with a faint smile.

“Uncle Li, the Great Qin Law, is it a crime to curse someone”

Li Si froze for a moment and said that

“No.”

After all, how can you control the mouths of others when you are in charge of heaven and earth?

Zhao Lang said at once, once again

“Uncle Li, once upon a time there was a man called Zhang San, who did not get along with his mute neighbour, and so, every day, did nothing.”

“Just scolded his neighbour every day, from morning to night, day in and day out.”

“Then, one day, his neighbour couldn’t take it anymore and stabbed Zhang San.”

“But Zhang San didn’t die, and according to Qin law, his neighbour was sent to the frontier for committing murder with a knife, and then died on the road.”

“Excuse me, is Zhang San guilty?”

Hearing the question, the corners of Li Si’s mouth twitched and he said that

“Why is this man also called Zhang San?”

Zhao Lang blinked, was that the point?

“Uncle Li, do you think this Zhang San is guilty or not?”

Li Si said with his eyes closed.

“Not guilty!”

“Then this mute neighbour of Zhang San deserves to die?”

Li Si was tempted to say that the only thing to blame was that the mute was too weak to withstand the scolding.

But that was something he couldn’t say.

Zhao Lang laughed at this point and said

“Uncle Li, these are just two examples, look at those who learn the law, they tend to lose their humanity as they learn.”

“Uncle Li, the law is not outside of emotions, that’s the truth.”

“So how long can such a law last when the law family is really a dominant one? In the end, the Law family will only end up in extinction!”

Hearing these words, Li Si bowed his head in dismay.

Suddenly, he once again looked up at Zhao Lang and said that

“If you were to cultivate the law, could you do a better job?”

Zhao Lang laughed at once and

“Uncle Li, now it’s just the two of us chatting, and you’re still taking it seriously?”

Li Si looked at Zhao Lang with a complicated expression, squeezed out a smile and said

“What you said, Ah Long.”

“Well, Uncle Li still has some business, so I’ll leave first.”

When Zhao Lang heard this, of course he wouldn’t stay, he was still waiting to meet up with someone.

Smiling, he said.

“Uncle Li take care.”

At once, Zhao Lang looked at Uncle Li, and then walked out towards the outside, only the numbness in his legs had not yet healed.

He even almost bumped into a Fa family disciple on his way out.

The Fa family disciple looked at Li Si, who had swung by, and said to a companion on the side that

“Ugh, that man just now looks like the leader of our Fa family!”

A companion to the side looked at the slightly woebegone Li Si and said, disdainfully

“The chief is so dignified, how could he not even be able to walk steadily, you must be mistaken!”

“That’s right, let’s congratulate the French family!”

All of a sudden, the whole eatery was buzzing with activity again.

This time, Zhao Lang was able to connect with his own people extremely smoothly.

The segments of the spider’s web were joined into pieces.

After taking care of these matters, Zhao Lang went to find Elder Qin and agreed to leave the city together tomorrow.

Then he returned to his farmhouse within Xianyang.

Night soon fell.

Zhao Lang did not rest, but waited in his room.

Of course, there was no idleness while waiting, but he took the time to look at the Confucian classics.

Having only just met his teacher, when he returned to the Zhuangzi, the other party would definitely want to test him, and if he couldn’t answer then.

That ruler on the palm of his hand would not only hurt, it would also be humiliating.

It was not until late at night that Xi came in to report that

“House Master, the man has arrived.”

This man was naturally the spider web scout who was in the technical courtyard.

Soon, the person walked in, saluted to

“Greetings, my lord.”

These people, only knew that Zhao Lang was a level higher than them.

But they did not know that Zhao Lang was the Lord of the Spider Web.

Zhao Long put down the bamboo slip and nodded his head.

“Last night, things happened in a hurry, and some things were not made clear.”

The scout quickly explained the situation in the Technical Institute that

“The Yin Yang family, the lowly ones, and the remnants of the Six Kingdoms all have secret lines in the Technical Institute?”

The complexity of the Technical Courtyard was unexpected by Zhao Lang.

It was not surprising that the Remnant of the Six Kingdoms had dark lines Zhao Lang, many of the Technical Children, were originally the wives and daughters of the nobles of the Six Kingdoms.

“But this lowly one, what kind of people are they?”

Zhao Lang puzzled.

“The superiors, all of them are a network of slaves, skillful children, people of low status.”

“There are all over the place, but the connections are not strong and there is no unified leader.”

“But they are extremely well-informed.”

The scout returned.

Zhao Lang nodded lightly, it was a bit like a mutual aid society.

The scout spoke up at this point and

“My Lord, the humble ones are always looking for something to rely on as well, should we absorb them.”

But he hesitated; these lowly ones, though well-informed, had no loyalty to speak of.

A violent expansion would instead destabilise the spider web.

I suppose that was why none of the other forces had made a move when they had detected the group.

Thinking through these hurdles, Zhao Lang suddenly said that

“There is no need…”

Only before he could finish his sentence, there was a sudden rattling outside the door.

Soon, hi came in pressed against a mannishly shaped figure in black.

“House Master, the woman had just gone up to the roof when we caught her.”

Zhao Lang didn’t focus on the woman at this time, instead his eyes were slightly cold as he looked at the scout.

The scout saw the man in black and shouted, somewhat stunned

“Sister Mei, why have you come here!”
