Chapter 557 Excuse me, please continue
There was once a joke that men must be kind to themselves. Once they fall ill, other men will take your job and spend your money. Living in your bed, sleeping with your wife, beating your baby~~
I have always felt that this was just a joke.
Now, listening to the grief and indignation of the white-bearded old man, Zhu Pingan found that the joke was much gentler, and the fact in front of him was even crueler: a kind-hearted man saved a woman's parents and married this The woman not only gave her good clothes, food, love and care, but also treated her parents as her own parents, gave her parents gold, silver and real estate, and responded to her requests. The kindness of this kind man continued, and he took in a helpless woman. ,and Give him food and clothing, teach him how to survive, and marry him a wife. However, the truth behind is very cruel. This woman whose parents were rescued and who relied on her man to have a good life and a good life has become a licentious woman. Go out of the wall; this one is taken in The orphan has become a white-eyed wolf, repaying kindness with revenge, eating men's food, spending men's money, living in men's houses, and sleeping with men's women... Judging from the reactions of the white-bearded old man and the villagers of Majia Village, this cruel fact It's just true.
Good deeds are rewarded?
NO!
Good deeds are not rewarded with good deeds. This cruel reality violates the values that people have always adhered to and subverts the world's view of good and evil.
Indeed
After listening to the white-bearded old man’s words, Zhu Ping’an felt confused in his heart. What a fucking reality!
Not to mention that the native Ming Dynasty who valued ethics and ethics looked up to the sky and was angry. Even Zhu Ping'an, who came from modern times, felt a sense of resentment in his heart after hearing this story, and could not calm down the nameless karma in his heart for a long time.
"Sir, killing one person can serve as a warning to others, and punishing those in front can deter future ones! Ever since a pair of adulterers and adulterers on Shentang Road a hundred years ago, we in Majia Village have not seen such immoral things happen again for more than a hundred years. The village is clean and prosperous, sir." The white-bearded old man was very excited, and his body trembled with the sound.
People are also very angry.
These two are really fucked!
However, dipping a pig cage is considered lynching! What does lynching mean? Lynching refers to punishment imposed on people without following legal procedures. Or punishment imposed on people privately, which is against the law.
The ancients said: Do not reward privately to satisfy public discussion, and do not punish privately to violate national laws.
For example, if a person kills your friend, you cannot seek revenge and kill the murderer. Instead, you should bring him to justice and hand him over to the government, who will punish him according to the law!
So, for this fucking fact and these two fucking people, we can't just go into the pig cage based on our personal likes and dislikes.
After having laws and regulations, it is no longer a world of grudges and grudges. We must act according to the laws.
Of course, following the laws and orders does not mean that you don’t care. It is said that in the ancient dynasties, there were many punishments that were a hundred times more bloody and cruel than Shen Run. What about Ling Chi, about splitting a chariot and quartering a horse into pieces, and what about beheading people in half? alive Cooking, filling with lead...
Emperor Yuanzhang, the great ancestor of this dynasty, also had many tortures, such as the Shovel Meeting: corrupt officials were lined up in rows to dig pits and buried alive, with only their heads exposed on the ground. , then use a big ax to cut it, and chop off a few with one axe. For example, scrubbing, which sounds elegant, is actually extremely bloody. The prisoner is stripped naked and placed on an iron bed, poured with boiling hot water, and then brushed on the body with an iron brush until the person is reduced to a skeleton; for example Intestinal pumping, to put it simply and concisely, means to Insert an iron hook into the dung door, and then push it straight in to hook out all the intestines; there is also Emperor Yuanzhang's iconic peeling and filling method, where the human skin is completely peeled off and made into a human skin bag, filled with straw and hung for public display ……
The behavior of the man and woman in the pig cage is, to be precise, adultery. The Ming Dynasty punished adultery according to its laws.
This depends on how the Ming Dynasty laws stipulate adultery.
Zhu Pingan put the official ultimatum and the ebony tooth plaque into his arms, and searched for the relevant laws and regulations of the Ming Dynasty in his mind. The imperial examination involved the laws of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Pingan was no stranger to this. Soon, Zhu Pingan had recalled the relevant law coefficients over and over again, and he already knew how to punish him.
Fortunately, this is not a modern society. Modern society has abolished the crime of adultery in 1997. If it happened in modern society, their sloppy behavior would just be a matter of moral style, and the law would no longer punish it, that is, Says adultery is not guilty. If you are a public figure, at best you can enrich the gossip news to support some self-media. What about hooking up, what about mistresses, what... there are too many tricks...
However, this is ancient times.
This is the Ming Dynasty.
Different from modern times, adultery in ancient times was a deeply abhorred and unforgivable scandal. In ancient dynasties, adultery was a crime under any law. This is not a modern day where people get into bed on their own merits...
As for adultery, the laws of the Ming Dynasty are very detailed, with different punishment provisions for different situations.
Zhu Pingan's eyes swept across the crowd, and finally landed on the man and woman in the pig cage. He looked at them for about two seconds. How to deal with the man and woman depends on the specific situation. This score clear.
"Please take the towels off their mouths." Zhu Pingan walked to the pig cage and said to the young students.
ah?
Take off the towel, are you going to let someone go? !
"Sir, this..." Several young students were stunned.
The crowd was also in an uproar. They were very puzzled and their eyes were filled with indignation. If they had not respected Zhu Pingan as an official, they would have probably swarmed Zhu Pingan and beat him half to death. However, even though he respected Zhu Pingan's status as an official, he was still classified as a dog official at this moment.
Contrary to everyone else, the man and woman in the pig cage were very excited when they heard the words, especially the woman, whose eyes were filled with tears of excitement. The man who could not be seen as human also twisted his body in excitement. .
"Sir, if we don't get rid of these immoral people, our Majia Village will never have peace. If this continues, our Majia Village will be in decline, and I will have no face to face my elders in the village, and I will even be ashamed to face the ancestors of Majia Village! What if? If they are not drunk, then I will make myself drunk and apologize to my ancestors."
The white-bearded old man said, and he pushed aside the crowd and was about to jump into the rolling river.
Zhu Ping'an had quick eyes and quick hands and reached out to stop the old man with white beard. The people in Majia Village also reacted and quickly stopped the old man with white beard.
"Please be patient, sir. I have a few questions and I need their cooperation." Zhu Ping'an stepped forward and bowed deeply, speaking sincerely, "When I finish asking about the case, I will Dispose of it in accordance with the law.”
"When the emperor breaks the law, he is guilty of the same crime as the common people. I should have heard of it. No matter whether the emperor or the common people, they will be convicted according to the law when they break the law. When I find out the facts of the case, I will naturally convict and punish them in accordance with the law." After Zhu Pingan said, Deeply surrendered again.
The old man with white beard looked at Zhu Ping'an for a long time, then sighed, waved his hand and said, "Follow your orders, sir." After the old man with white beard gave the order, several young men unwillingly put the towels of the two people in the pig cage. Taken it off.
"Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. Your Majesty's move is of immeasurable merit. I will definitely build a shrine for you in the future and offer incense day and night." The invisible man took the towel. Next, I kept thanking Zhu Pingan.
"The slave family has thanked you, sir. The slave family will chant sutras and worship Buddha day and night to pray for your benefactor." The woman in the pig cage also kept thanking her.
After hearing the words of the two people in the pig cage, everyone in Majia Village cursed them angrily, shamelessly, and scolded them endlessly.
“May I ask my father-in-law, when did you find out about the adultery between these two people?” Zhu Pingan turned a blind eye to this and asked his father-in-law calmly.
"Just now, we caught him raped in bed. Everyone has heard about it before, but he didn't catch him. This time, we caught him on the spot."
The onlookers replied in a hurry, The white-bearded old man and other village elders also nodded.
“That’s what they said?” Zhu Pingan asked, looking down at the two people in the pig cage.
The two looked evasive, neither admitting nor objecting, which was equivalent to acquiescence. They couldn't deny it even if they wanted to. How could they deny it when so many people caught her in the act?
"Oh, that means we caught the rape on the spot." Zhu Ping'an nodded, then looked at everyone and asked, "I wonder if the victim, Mr. Wang, is here?"
Everyone focused their attention on one person. This person had a dark complexion and looked more ordinary than ordinary people. However, he was well-dressed. He should be Mr. Wang. At this moment, Mr. Wang looked humiliated and extremely depressed, as if he had lost his soul.
"Were Mr. Wang present at the time of the rape?" Zhu Ping'an asked.
"It was Mr. Wang who led us to catch the traitor." The villagers replied in all directions.
"My family's misfortune makes you laugh." Mr. Wang nodded, sighed heavily, and cupped his hands towards Zhu Pingan.
“Excuse me, please continue.”
After hearing this, Zhu Pingan nodded, and without asking any more questions, he stood up, bowed his hands deeply to the white-bearded old man and everyone in Majia Village, said something apologetic, and then turned and left.
Huh?
What?
Everyone was stunned and did not react for a while.
"My lord, my lord, please don't leave. Ask them to let us go, my lord, my lord..." The first person to react was the man and woman in the pig cage, looking at Zhu Ping'an's leaving figure, There was a heart-rending cry.
"Law 9 of "Minghuidian": If a wife commits adultery and catches the adulterer in the place of adultery, she should be killed immediately. According to the law, if the woman's husband catches the adulterer in bed, he can be killed on the spot. Dead adulterer and adulteress..."
Kill... What's the difference between death with a stick, drowning, or sinking into a lake...
Zhu Ping'an did not look back, shook his head, read out the Ming law in a low voice, led the horse, and got on the horse Just leave.
There were faint sounds of desperate cries and cheers from behind, and then there were neat hey, hey, hey... Finally, there were two sounds of heavy objects falling into the water, which completely ignited the scene. cheer.
“We in Majia Village can usher in another hundred years of good times...”
The voice of the white-bearded old man looking up to the sky in celebration also vaguely came over...
Hey...
Zhu Ping'an sighed, clamped the horse's belly hard, and accelerated his departure.
Good and evil will eventually be rewarded, and the way of heaven is reincarnation.
If you don’t believe it, look up and see who God will spare. (End of chapter)
