Original God, but the real world

Chapter 105 104-Compromise, Sister
Procedural justice and outcome justice will greatly affect the development and future of the law.

Mingjun's case is not complicated.

If the person affected was not Shen He, if there was no immortal standing behind Shen He, then how should this matter be resolved... In fact, only three people died, right?

Oh, another one died of illness.

The world is not that safe.

There are treasure-hunting groups, monsters and fools in the wild, and the dead are indeed worth investigating and collecting evidence, but for something that has no evidence or signs at all, how can we solve it other than declaring it an unsolved case?
Many things are simply not worth it.

But because it was Shen He, this matter became special.

The only evidence of whether Mingjun made a mistake and what kind of mistake he made is his own statement.

No one else can provide any evidence to interfere with the direction and development of this matter.

Here’s where things get interesting.

If you think he should die, then you should write in the record that the evidence was obtained through torture by the immortal, rather than the answer obtained through normal channels.

Because immortals are also likely to commit fraud, even if immortals are outside the law, anyone who acts in this way in the future will have a case to rely on.

Before confirming a person's guilt, treat him as a criminal in advance, and then obtain evidence to prove that he is indeed a criminal.

Not to mention the possibility of making a mistake, the outcome is determined before the action is taken.

That is to say, before taking action, they had already been judged as sinners.

How to judge is a problem. In short, I have no evidence, but I believe he is a bad guy. If we increase his intensity a bit, he will definitely confess that he is a bad guy.

What if you get halfway through the intensity and find out that he is not really a bad guy?
What can be done.

I can't apologize to him and ask for his forgiveness, right?

What is my status and his position? I am qualified to challenge him, but there is obviously a big gap between our status.

I have to apologize if I make a mistake? What if he is just being stubborn and not afraid of death?
I'm not sure whether I'm wrong or not. Why don't you let me try again? Maybe if I continue to use some tricks, he will change his story.
No, he still has a family, right? I talked to him about his wife and son's recent situation.

I didn't have any bad intentions. I just saw that he missed his family so much, so I took the opportunity to chat with him.

Well, you see he admitted that he did these things, he is a bad person.

Damn, I am a messenger of justice, I am right!
Apologize? Admit your fault?
I was right, why should I admit my mistakes or apologize? I am justice and righteousness!!!
Besides, even if I apologized, what if he didn't forgive me? Should I sacrifice my official position and future as an apology?

Is he worthy?
Just because I accidentally got a person's identity wrong, I accidentally judged him as a bad guy? So I have to give up everything I have to pay compensation?
Then why don't I just go with the flow and make this a solid case?
This way my loss will be smaller.

Anyway, the evidence he gave and the evidence I gave, as long as I do some manipulation, they are all what he said.

He must be a bad guy, because I must be a good guy who fights for justice.

He is not a bad person, so if I do something to him, wouldn’t I be a bad person?
In ancient times, there was a process of signing and sealing when filing a case. However, the signature and seal might not be what the prisoner said, or what they had done. Rather, it was what I thought you should say.

This is an inevitable event.

As long as outcome justice is taken as the standard of execution, misjudgments will occur sooner or later.

At this point, whether a person is willing to pay for his mistakes or just let it go depends entirely on whether his personal background can be turned into reality, and whether he has the morals to pay the price for his mistakes.

The situation was probably that they just let the situation go, or I was unaware of the matter and it was my subordinate who committed the crime privately.

I am willing to review his mistakes and kick him out.

Me? I don't apologize enough for other people's mistakes?

Why are you so annoying? What else do you want?
The classic intern made a mistake.

And if you think that he just handled the situation improperly, but he himself was also a victim of robbery, ambush and beating... in fact, this is the normal answer, and it is the only answer that can be confirmed by evidence.

Mingjun would not choose to say something that was unfavorable to himself, and all the evidence that could be verified could only prove his innocence.

He was just a poor guy who had his things taken away from him.

Any normal person in Mingjun's situation would insist that he was just an unlucky guy caused by an accident.

I sympathized with his situation, so I advised him, but he took advantage of my kindness and attacked me, then snatched the sorcery that I accidentally obtained and did not have time to destroy, and used the sorcery.

I was wrong.

I was wrong in that I shouldn't sympathize with a husband who lost his wife, I shouldn't have shown extra kindness and tolerance to a madman, I shouldn't have expected him to return to normal, I should have rejected him directly, or reported him directly, without showing him any mercy...
What an easy excuse.

Where did I go wrong? I went wrong with kindness and compassion.

But who dares to say that?
Who dares to say that kindness and compassion are wrong?
It is not difficult to deal with Mingjun, but it is more difficult to characterize this case.

You could easily say, of course, that he was wrong.

But the evidence provided by the immortal is full of the flavor of power. It is not based on justice and fairness, but the answer given by power.

I said he was guilty, therefore he was guilty.

That's it.

What the available evidence showed was that he was wrong in showing sympathy and pity for a poor man who had a tragic experience and was attached to his dead wife, and then he was ambushed and his things were stolen, and the other party took advantage of this to carry out an evil plan.

If you insist that he was wrong, that's fine too. I think it's wrong to have sympathy and pity for innocent people.

We should not show sympathy or pity to anyone who is in misfortune, let alone want to help or comfort him, because this is wrong.

We should sit back and watch the unfortunate suffer misfortunes and the poor be left alone.

Because there was a man who gave his life out of pity for someone, we cannot and should not learn from him.

"If it was Ye Lan, I think she would just sink the file to the bottom and let the immortal make the decision." Jiang Qing said with a smile, "She doesn't care about justice, she only cares about the result."

"Really not considering special cases? In fact, for many things, no one cares about the truth and the answer."

He consoled her like this.

I'm afraid the only people who care about the significance of this matter itself are people like Ganyu and Yanfei who are kind-hearted and have sufficient status.

Ye Lan, Ningguang and even Keqing would choose to handle special matters specially, treat the evidence brought out by the immortal as a record, and then put the file at the bottom of the file, never letting it be exposed.

Things that don't exist will have no impact at all.

It happened to be Ganyu and Yanfei, who had enough status and position to raise this matter. At the same time, they were respectful enough to the law and kind enough not to make judgments lightly just because Mingjun's identity was relatively insignificant and Shenhe was the son of an immortal.

This is where it gets interesting.

Because people value the status of immortals, they choose to handle special matters in special ways.

On the contrary, Ganyu and Yanfei, who are immortals, are quite reluctant to accept any privileges.

Should I say that the old man really taught well?

"Shen He is my junior sister, and my teacher has asked me to take care of her many times." Gan Yu was shy, which was unusual for her. "But I think this matter cannot be ended so hastily."

"The Emperor said that he wanted the people of Liyue to govern the city themselves... I actually considered leaving Liyue Harbor and returning to live in Jueyunjian."

Her voice dropped, with a palpable frustration.

Jiang Qing was right about Ye Lan.

He had some understanding of Ye Lan.

The head of Ningguang's intelligence department wrote the file directly and prepared to throw it into the fire.

Writing it down to record is respecting the rules, throwing it away is respecting the immortals.

Between rules and immortals, she especially respects immortals.

To be more precise, she respects strength and power.

Ye Lan also knew the difficulty of this matter, so she planned to keep the case under wraps as soon as possible.

Mingjun was directly convicted and dealt with through internal channels, and this matter would never be allowed to surface again.

Something that is unknown will naturally not cause any adverse effects.

Gan Yu thought about it and took the initiative to suppress the handling of this matter.

To this day, Mingjun’s case is still being handled at Yuehai Pavilion, and the files have not been directly closed to end the record.

It always sounds a little strange that someone who enjoys privileges says she doesn't want to enjoy them.

So Ganyu was a little embarrassed to explain.

She didn't know how to put it in a way that would make it sound better instead of sounding weird the way it did now.

"That's great." Jiang Qing consoled him. "Special treatment has its value. The world is so big that we have to allow privileges and accidents to exist."

"But it's good if people can be aware of the problems when they enjoy their privileges."

The existence of privilege is necessary for a reason.

But just because it is necessary doesn't mean it is right.

“And you went a step further and asked for a modification of the privilege.”

"This is noble enough to be described as great."

Jiang Qing said with enough respect, "You could have said nothing and just accepted the Seven Stars' respect for the immortals. This is a privilege you naturally enjoy."

"But you feel that this is inappropriate and are willing to correct the inappropriateness of the privilege. If any trouble is caused by this, I think it is not your fault."

"Wanting to change a country for the better and taking real action is a decision that should not be criticized lightly."

Special measures are taken just for situations like this.

There are always some people and some things that are so special that even the basic laws and rules recognized by people have to give way to them.

Ganyu is such a person.

She could have enjoyed it all, the privilege.

But out of respect for the laws of this country, she took the initiative to negotiate and try to find a way to have the best of both worlds.

If she enjoys privileges, she just says I don't want privileges and is unwilling to make any effort to change.

Then this is called being both a hypocrite and an asshole.

And she has taken action to change, which is quite great and noble and worthy of respect.

Jiang Qing didn't feel that he had any right to laugh at the other party's choice.

He always maintains a high level of respect and love for any person or behavior worthy of praise, because he assumes the worst of people's choices, while at the same time deeply loving their glorious moments.

Admire their kindness and friendship, gentleness and beauty.

Ganyu felt much more relaxed.

In short, her choices during this period caused some trouble for everyone.

Just like Jiang Qing said, record it and then suppress the file. This is the option that everyone will agree with.

Special matters must be handled specially, the immortals have already come forward. Even if there is not enough evidence on the surface and the answer can only be obtained through torture by immortal arts, Qixing has no objection.

It was Ganyu, who directly enjoyed the privilege, who raised doubts.

Of course no one would accuse Ganyu of having too many things to do.

With her status, no matter how much trouble she makes, Qixing has to coax her and go along with her.

After all, Ganyu didn't intend to take action against Qixing's power. She was just feeling a little awkward occasionally. How could Qixing not follow her wishes?

But Jiang Qing was also the only one who directly expressed his support.

He has no position at all, or rather, his position is Ganyu.

"Let's try another approach."

Jiang Qing thought for a moment, "Anyway, Mingjun himself knows that you already know what he was thinking at the time, right?"

The handling of the law requires a balance between legal provisions and humanitarianism, that is, making a reasonable choice between humanity and rationality.

If problems can be solved purely by law, there would be no need for so-called legal consultants or judges.

Their appearance means that a simple judgment mechanism is not perfect and people need to intervene and participate in the decision-making.

People's participation means that when something happens, we not only need to refer to the law, but also consider its impact on social morality.

This places high demands on the judge, but it is necessary.

But Jiang Qing is not a judge. He is not part of the Liyue bureaucracy at all. He just solves problems.

"And, because of the Immortal, his case may be controversial, but his outcome is already determined."

It is not difficult to deal with the matter individually, but what is difficult is the symbolic meaning of the matter.

How hard can it be to destroy a person?

"Yes." Ganyu nodded obediently.

"Then why don't we do this? Since he already knows that this is a special case, we can transfer him to the prison of the Qianyan Army and let him confess on his own initiative."

"At the same time, he should have relatives and friends, so I simply mentioned that if he was honest, the chamber of commerce would be willing to help support his family's life."

If losses are inevitable, many people will choose to cut losses.

Jiang Qing didn't believe that Ye Lan couldn't come up with a solution.

If the immortal's evidence is not useful, then letting Mingjun admit it himself can be considered as solving the problem in another way.

This is actually the same method.

The immortal used magic to get the answer.

This answer is like a sudden sum of money in your account. You cannot explain its source, so your use of it is inevitably restricted in many ways.

But you are rich after all, really rich. Even if the source of the money is unknown, having money is having money, and this is two completely different qualities of life from having no money.

After you have money, find ways to make the money cleaner, and then you can naturally use it openly.

Of course, in order to be cleaner, you have to lose something - this process is commonly known as money laundering.

But Qixing doesn't care.

They can make special arrangements for the immortals, so they don't mind giving up a little more Mora for Ganyu.

The main thing is that the accounts look clean.

It's enough to look clean.

In many cases, people are just glossing over the situation, rather than actually ensuring that everything is peaceful and prosperous for a long time.

By the same token, knowing Mingjun's choice, and knowing that he had offended the immortal, Qixing and Ganyu would not let him go.

So in the face of certain death, will he cling to his reputation, or plan to provide a little help to his relatives and friends?
Ganyu reacted instantly.

Mentioning that he would help relatives and friends was certainly a promise of benefits in exchange for Mingjun's compromise, but it was also another kind of threat.

But these can all be recorded on paper.

Mingjun is also a Taoist priest. Whenever he comes to a chamber of commerce, he will tell you that he saved a young master from a certain family when he was exorcising evil spirits on a certain day. Today, the young master finds out that it was Mingjun who saved him.

If a benefactor makes a mistake, his death is inevitable. After all, this is the law and no plea is allowed.

But the favor still needs to be repaid, because the benefactor is already dead, so I spent a few hundred million Moras to repay the benefactor's relatives and friends, in order to repay the life-saving grace.

Is this illegal?

It's obviously not illegal and completely reasonable.

I have money, I just want to repay the favor.

And which Seven Stars can't come up with such a chamber of commerce?

For a young master and young lady like this, who would refuse Qixing's initiative to ask for another benefactor?
It is no exaggeration to say that as long as the immortals do not intervene, after a hundred years, even if Qixing proposes to them to recognize an extra father, someone among them should be able to accept it.

It’s no problem to have an extra father, let alone just an extra “lifesaver”.

The Seven Stars are the richest merchants in Liyue. Mora is a problem for Jiang Qing, but to them, any problem that can be solved with Mora is not a problem at all.

"Coercion and inducement are actually similar means, but we used a more obscure rhetoric." Jiang Qing was unwilling to attribute any correctness or justice to his proposal. "In other words, Mingjun voluntarily admitted his mistake, and when he admitted his mistake, the news happened to spread, so a young master or young lady knew that the person who saved his life several years or more than ten years ago was this person."

"So they wanted to repay Mingjun, so they found Mingjun's relatives and friends and gave him a little reward worthy of saving his life."

Jiang Qing said seriously, "I know this is an open brush. You and I both know the truth of the matter. I can't deny it."

"But the matter has been resolved, and I was just making a suggestion."

"If you focus on the matter itself and bury the dispute and let future generations solve it, this is a workable method."

"If you insist on solving the problem of procedural justice and outcome justice, my talents are limited and I can't help you much."

Ganyu bit her thin lips tightly, with a bit of fragile beauty.

Jiang Qing turned a blind eye.

"Of course, out of respect for your character, I am still willing to do my best to help you make your choice."

In any case, Jiang Qing was already very happy that Ganyu was willing to bring up this matter.

But he didn't want to say it a second time, there are some things I can't do.

Jiang Qing cannot solve the problem of justice, just as he cannot solve the problem of greed.

Recognizing the existence of a problem and solving it are two different things, and Jiang Qing never forces himself.

He can only be a painter, covering up the truth.

In fact, many people are painters.

We may not be able to solve the problem, but at least we can solve the person who raised the problem.

Some problems really cannot be solved, and they cannot be exposed, so the only way to solve them is to solve the problems by those who want to expose their existence.

This is the power that is used to protect the interests of the general public.

Well, sorry, what matters to the public is not power but justice.

I was standing in the sun, gunshots were going off, and people were bewildered.

Because I am for justice.

As for these problems themselves... problems that countless kings, princes, generals and ministers have been unable to solve for thousands of years. Jiang Qing doesn't think he will be the one to surpass them.

Perhaps one day he would be able to gain the power to physically destroy anyone.

But as for thoughts and wisdom themselves, it takes time to accumulate and build up.

Jiang Qing left the choice to Ganyu.

At the very least, according to any records, Mingjun himself admitted to this matter.

He first realized that he had made a mistake, and because of Shen He, his mistake would inevitably lead to his death.

The evidence is there for everyone to see.

But immortals do not care about evidence when doing things.

Based on this result, he doesn't have many choices.

If the immortal had not intervened, he would have surely bitten his own innocent finger to death.

But the result is certain, and all we can do is to recover the losses.

This is how normal people think and act.

Jiang Qing's method is nothing new and is still limited to the scope of coercion and inducement.

But his excuse was pretty good, it covered up the truth and there was nothing wrong with it.

He can only be responsible for whitewashing the situation.

Ganyu fell silent.

She didn't agree directly, nor did she refuse easily.

Jiang Qing didn't care and just waited quietly for her next words.

This matter has nothing to do with me, so there is no need to put too much thought into it.

As for this idea...it is indeed not difficult. Ye Lan didn't mention it probably because she knew that this approach would only be peaceful on the surface. Gan Yu didn't mention it probably because she was asking too much at the beginning and really wanted a solution that could solve the root cause.

But Jiang Qing is different.

He always just does surface work, and does it well.

In a way, Ningguang is willing to invest because of this reason.

You certainly don't need to believe that Jiang Qing can solve all your troubles, but at least believe in him and you won't have any trouble.

He is the one who always stands on the side of an individual.

As long as you cooperate with him, he will always stand on your side and consider you, and will never let you suffer losses without gaining any benefits from anything he promotes.

Of course, he will also make a small profit in the process.

But what else do you want?
Jiang Qing has been considerate enough about his partners. His suggestions may not be moral or just, but at least he will never harm your interests.

He has always supported his partners and always spoken up for his partners.

very good already.

Coercion and inducement are very old-fashioned tactics, and Ganyu is well aware of this.

She didn't need to, naturally because she was looking for a means to truly solve the problem rather than simply solving the superficial problem.

Shen He would never consider such a thing.

She is a very pure person and has no pursuit or admiration for worldly things.

But Ganyu can't.

But Jiang Qing has already admitted that he is indeed powerless.

Even so, Ganyu still recognized Jiang Qing and treated him as a friend with whom she could formally communicate.

Her first impression of Jiang Qing was not bad. Thanks to his expertise, Jiang Qing rarely lost points on the first impression.

Afterwards, he successfully obtained the divine favor from Morax, which made Ganyu even more optimistic about Jiang Qing.

Finally, there is the issue of Jiang Qing’s position during the conversation.

Not just enough, but always stand on the side of his own people unconditionally.

How could Ganyu not know that this was wrong?

But if a person is willing to support you regardless of the interests and losses of others, how can you have no good feelings towards him at all?

That's how people are.

It’s not that they don’t know what is right and what is wrong, but they often hope that someone can choose them regardless of right or wrong.

This is true even if Ganyu is an immortal.

She understands the truth better than Jiang Qing.

But she still couldn't refuse someone's wholehearted support...and Jiang Qing was like this to every partner.

This is also the reason why he was able to gradually gain popularity among Qin and Ningguang and make them willing to cooperate formally.

Of course, you won't easily trust an ordinary person who has nothing and looks not only poor but also weak... But he said you can wait and take action when things develop as I expected.

All his plans guarantee your interests. Although he will make a profit from them, he will never interfere with your work.

And in the end he is usually right.

Why wouldn't you want to have more trust in him and be more supportive of his next proposal?

"Thank you very much for your advice." Ganyu took a deep breath, "Maybe I should compromise."

Jiang Qing raised his eyebrows.

He always felt that the compromise Ganyu mentioned did not seem to be simply limited to this matter.

but······

"It would be my honor if my advice could be of any help to you." He smiled and held out his hand. "I am still willing to cooperate with you. No matter what troubles you have, I will stand by your side."

nonsense.

The value of all seven stars combined may not be greater than this one.

I would definitely support Ganyu, she is beautiful, powerful, and has a strong background.

"Thank you."

Ganyu thanked him softly, her eyes full of moisture.

She stretched out her hand, Jiang Qing held her fingers, and then let go.
