In the eyes of the powerful, what is the value of the lives of the poor? A detail of "Dream of the Red Chamber" is revealed

"Prince's Crime Act,Common people's crimes."

Such a concept seems to be very deeply rooted in our Chinese hearts today. How deeply rooted and rooted are they?

As early as 2,000 years ago, a man named Han Fei shouted loudly in his book:

"The law is not expensive, and the rope is not bent."

That is to say, the law, as a thing, should not favor those who are powerful, just like the ink thread used by carpenters in their work, and will never tilt to bends.

In our words today, "all are equal before the law".

In this way, however, the interests of the magnates seem to be deprived in disguise. Why? It couldn't be more obvious. If power is really useless, and wealth is really useless, then why do you sharpen your head to drill the camp and hollow out your mind to seek it?

Therefore, such an idea has different meanings relative to the powerful and the poor.

To put it more bluntly, for the poor, human life is a matter of great importance. But for the powerful, it may be different. How will it be different? "Dream of the Red Chamber" has such a detail, which is worth playing.

It is said that Lin Daiyu turned to her grandmother Shi Taijun and lived in the Rongguo Mansion. On this morning, when I went to Madame Wang's residence to ask for peace, I saw Madame Wang and Wang Xifeng, both opening a letter from Jinling.

Not long after, Lady Wang's brother, Prince Teng, sent two more daughters-in-law to speak.

Lin Daiyu didn't know it at first, but she heard Jia Tanchun's sisters talking. It turned out that the thing they were talking about was that Xue Pan was fighting with Feng Yuan to buy Yinglian, and as a result, he bullied people and beat people to death.

The situation at the time was:

"(Xue Pan) relied on wealth and power to kill people, and now he should be tried under the Tianfu case."

According to Prince Teng's meaning, he brought the case to the capital for trial.

"Now that his maternal uncle Prince Teng has obtained the information, he has sent people in his family to tell this side, intending to summon the intention of entering Beijing."

But what happens next? The specifics are unknown.

Anyway, Jia Yucun, who was dismissed from his post, was reinstated not long after, and he also fished for a fat shortage, that is, the prefect of Jinling Yingtianfu. The first case he took over after he took over after his arrival was the human life lawsuit committed by Xue Pan.

If you have to say that it is not a coincidence, it is estimated that God does not believe it!

This case has reached the hands of Jia Yucun, and the next situation, everyone should be familiar with, is the famous "gourd monk chaotic judgment gourd case" in the book "Dream of the Red Chamber".

It is worth mentioning that when trying this case, those bad and pus-like ideas seem to have come out of the door. It was only after the case was concluded that Jia Yucun wrote two letters to Jia Zheng and Prince Teng, telling them:

"The matter of the nephew is finished, don't worry about it" and so on.

When Madame Wang received Jia Yucun's letter, Xue Pan, Aunt Xue and Xue Baochao were still on their way to the capital. It is also strange to say that his son has caused a lawsuit for human life, but along the way, Aunt Xue has not mentioned a word.

When they were about to go to the capital, the two of them were still cleaning up their houses because they lived in the Rongguo Mansion and had a few words.

What is even more strange is that after Aunt Xue came to the Rongguo Mansion, she was busy telling Lady Wang about sisterly affection, and also met Jia Mu Shi Taijun, while Xue Pan went to meet Jia Zheng, Jia Shu, Jia Zhen, etc., and incidentally divided the local specialties she brought.

No one mentioned Xue Pan's murder case, as if it had never happened.

If you have to mention it, I am afraid that Jia Zheng sent someone to keep Aunt Xue and let her live in Lixiangyuan with her family, and she carried it with her:

"My nephew is young and doesn't know the way of the world, and he is afraid that there will be a life affair when he lives outside."

Listening to the meaning of these words, it was as if Xue Pan was young and ignorant and had been set up by someone. Some friends may feel that Xue Pan is after all the son of Lady Wang's sister, and Jia Zheng, as an uncle, only has to help wipe his ass, and it seems that it is not easy to say anything.

But after all, this is a human life, and it can be so understated!

At this point, we may wish to think of a question like this:

In the eyes of the powerful, what is the value of the lives of the poor?

In fact, it is really nothing, not even worth mentioning. Although as early as 2,000 years ago, the concept of "equality before the law" was put forward by a group of legalists, but those magnates in the past dynasties, they really equated themselves with the poor?

How can it be! It's so beautiful to think about!

Speaking of which, thanks to our birth in China, we have also encountered such a good era. The country is the mastery of the people, and the rule of law is becoming more and more popular, which makes Han Feizi's rule of law concept of "law is not noble, and the rope is not bent" more than 2,000 years ago become a reality.

Otherwise, a small grass and mustard people like you and me are really like grass mustard.

People say yes or no?
