There was once a joke that men must treat themselves better. Once you fall ill, another man will take your job, spend your money, stay in your bed, sleep with your wife, and beat your children.
It's always felt like 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, married this woman, and not only gave her a brocade clothes He gave her parents money, food, love and care, and treated her parents as his own. He gave her parents gold, silver and real estate, and responded to requests. The kindness of this kind man continued, and he took in a helpless girl who competed with pigs and dogs for food. Orphan, give him food and clothing, teach him to survive, and marry him a wife. However, the facts behind it are very cruel. This woman who was rescued by her parents and relied on her man to live and clothe herself, but she is a promiscuous person and cheats on this adopted orphan. But she became a white-eyed wolf, repaying kindness with hatred, 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 is true. .
Good deeds are rewarded?
!
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.
really
After hearing what the white-bearded old man said, 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 Pingan, who came from modern times, felt a sense of disgust 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 atmosphere 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 opinion, 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!
Therefore, regarding this damned fact and these damned two people, we cannot let the pig cage sink based on our personal likes and dislikes.
With the laws and regulations in place, it is no longer a world of grudges and grudges. We must act according to the laws.
Of course, following the law does not mean that you don’t care. It is said that in 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 into pieces and quartering a horse into pieces, about cutting people in half, cooking people alive, etc. Filled with lead
Emperor Yuanzhang, the great ancestor of this dynasty, also had many torture methods, such as the shovel-head meeting: the corrupt officials were lined up in a row and buried alive, leaving only their heads exposed on the ground. Then they used a big ax to cut off several heads, for example When talking about scrubbing, it sounds elegant, but it is actually extremely bloody. The prisoner was 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 was reduced to a skeleton, such as removing the intestines. To put it simply and concisely, That is to insert an iron hook into the dung door, then push it straight in, hook all the intestines out, and Emperor Yuanzhang's iconic peeling and filling with straw, peel off the human skin completely, make a human skin bag, fill it with straw and hang it Show to the public
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 relevant Ming laws and regulations in his mind. The imperial examination involved Ming laws, 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. In modern society, the crime of adultery was abolished in 1997. If it happened in a modern society, their sloppy behavior would just be a matter of moral style, and the law would no longer punish it, which means that adultery is not guilty. If you are a public figure, at most you can only enrich the gossip news to support some self-media. What about hookups, what about mistresses, what are too many routines?
However, this is ancient times.
This is the Ming Dynasty.
Unlike modern times, adultery was a deeply hated and unforgivable scandal in ancient times. In ancient dynasties, adultery was considered a crime under any law. This is not a modern situation where people get into bed on their own merits.
Regarding adultery, the laws of the Ming Dynasty are very detailed, with different punishment provisions for different situations.
Zhu Ping'an'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 this man and woman depends on the specific situation. This score is clear.
"Please take the towels off their mouths." Zhu Pingan walked to the pig cage and said to the young men.
ah?
Take off the towel, do you want to let someone go? !
"Sir, this" several young students were stunned.
There was an uproar among the people. People 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 now classified Zhu Pingan as a dog official.
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 don't become drunk, then I will become drunk and apologize to my ancestors."
As the white-bearded old man spoke, he pushed aside the crowd and was about to jump into the rolling river.
With quick eyes and quick hands, Zhu Pingan reached out to stop the white-bearded old man. The people in Majia Village also reacted and quickly stopped the white-bearded old man.
"Old man, please be patient. I have a few questions that require their cooperation." Zhu Ping'an stepped forward and bowed deeply, speaking sincerely, "When I finish asking about the case, I will handle 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 build a shrine for you in the future and offer incense and offerings day and night." The invisible man kept talking as soon as the towel was taken off. Thanks to Zhu Pingan.
"I have thanked you, sir. I will chant sutras and worship Buddha day and night, and pray for my 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 Ping'an turned a blind eye to this and asked his father-in-law calmly.
"Just now, we caught him in bed. Everyone has heard about it before, but we didn't catch him. This time, we caught him on the spot."
The crowd of onlookers replied in a flurry, and the white-bearded old man and other village elders also nodded.
"What are they talking about?" 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 they caught the rape on the spot." Zhu Pingan 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.
"When the adulterer was caught, was Mr. Wang present at the scene?" Zhu Pingan asked.
"It's Mr. Wang who led us to catch the traitor." The villagers replied in a hurry.
"The family's misfortune makes you laugh." Mr. Wang nodded, sighed heavily, and raised his hands to 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.
ah?
What?
Everyone was stunned and didn't 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. They looked at Zhu Ping'an's leaving figure and screamed heartbreakingly.
"Legal 9 of the Minghui Code: If a wife commits adultery and catches her husband or wife 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 kill the adulterer on the spot. Husband and adulteress"
What's the difference between killing with a stick, drowning, or sinking into a lake?
Zhu Ping'an did not look back, shook his head, recited the Ming Ling in a low voice, led the horse, got on his horse and left straight away.
Desperate cries and cheers were vaguely heard from behind, followed by neat hey-yo, hey-yo, hey-yo and finally two sounds of heavy objects falling into the water, which completely ignited the cheers at the scene.
"Our Majia Village can usher in another century of good times."
The voice of the white-bearded old man looking up to the sky in celebration could also be vaguely heard.
Why
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 has spared. To be continued.
