"Tang Min, what can you do to deal with such a shameless woman?"
Yu Yi really couldn't figure out how to deal with it, so he simply asked Tang Min for advice.
"Haha, how can it be that such a dignified village chief is so involved in this matter?"
Tang Min laughed, not joking enough. She had never seen Yu Yi so helpless because of anything.
"Stop teasing me. I know you must have a way. Keeping her locked up like this is not the answer."
Yu Yi coaxed Tang Min.
"When I was young, we had this kind of woman in Daoxiang Village. It seemed that she disliked her husband's incompetence, and then went to steal the man. In the end, the matter was exposed, and the villagers unanimously agreed to be immersed in a pig cage, and then the woman was imprisoned in the pig cage. I think it can be like this now.”
Tang Min played with her nails and talked while playing.
Yu Yi, who is familiar with history, naturally knows what "pig-cage dipping" means. As a punishment in the old days, pig-cage dipping is to put the prisoner into a pig cage, tie a rope around the opening, hang him up, and put him in the river. For submersion, a minor offender can have his or her head above the water and be immersed for a certain period of time; for a serious offender, the victim can have his head submerged and submerged until death.
In ancient society, in an environment where the law was not yet sound, village chiefs legislated in quite a few areas. They were the village judges and adjudicators of justice, deciding the villagers' finances and even the power of life and death. Due to the serious phenomenon of rule by man, The types of spells vary from place to place, which actually aggravates social divisions. This is how the pig cage immersion is a folk punishment.
Yu Yi is now the village chief. Of course, no one will have any objections to giving Xiao Qin such a punishment, especially since Xiao Qin is still an outsider. But as someone who has lived in modern civilization, Yu Yi believes that this Xiao Qin Although Qin is hateful, her crime is not worthy of death. She exchanged her body for money, did not destroy other people's families, and did not do anything harmful to nature. At most, she has moral flaws.
Seeing that Yu Yi was deep in thought, Tang Min thought that Yu Yi didn't understand the meaning of soaking the pig cage, so he described the whole process of soaking the pig cage to Yu Yi.
"Is there no other way besides this? For example, give her some more work to change her mind?"
Yuyi thought about it again and again and asked.
"What's wrong with soaking the pig cage? Is it because our village chief has fallen in love with this beautiful femme fatale woman?"
Seeing that Yuyi was still not sure about making up his mind, Tang Min always had a kind heart towards Xiaoqin, but was a little unhappy.
"That's not the case. I think there is a better way. Let's lock her up first. I think there will always be other ways."
After saying that, Yu Yi left the meeting hall and walked towards the newly built Yamen.
Halfway through, Yu Yi discovered that in addition to the construction of the Yamen, there was also a project appearing on the lakeside in the west of the village. Yu Yi looked from a distance and found that the project was still very large, and the construction seemed to be something like a statue. , in order to find out, Yu Yi quickened his pace and headed in that direction.
On the way, they passed Diao Ruxiao's house and met Zhang at the door. She nodded to Yuyi as a greeting. Since the wake started, Zhang had hardly left. From this point on, he was still very Those who admire this woman are affectionate and righteous, and it is not in vain that Master Diao Ruxiao is so kind to her.
"Master Wife, do you know what is being built behind? It looks huge?"
Yuyi thought Zhang would know the contents of this project, so he asked about it.
"This project started on the day of the sacrifice. I still need to ask Chief Hamun to go to the site to see what it is exactly."
Mrs. Zhang bowed politely.
Facing this etiquette, Yu Yi felt it was a bit heavy, and quickly stepped forward to help Zhang up, emphasizing: "My wife is also my elder, how can you treat me with such a big courtesy? I can't bear it, and Mistress, don’t call me village chief anymore, just call me Yu Yi, and I will get more used to it.”
Mrs. Zhang looked at Yu Yi and smiled. She did not expect that even after Diao Ruxiao left and Yu Yi gained all the power in Daoxiang Village, she would not forget to respect and respect herself. She thought that if Diao Xue was here, he would definitely betroth her to her. To this young man, he must be a good son-in-law.
"Okay, Yuyi, I won't delay your work anymore."
Zhang stood up and walked past Yuyi.
Yuyi watched her leave as a polite reply.
According to the location of the construction, Yu Yi finally came to the vicinity of the project. After walking closer, Yu Yi finally figured out what was going on. To the west of Daoxiang Village, someone was building a stone statue. The stone statue was about ten meters high. There is a middle-aged man below directing the operation of the project, surrounded by people transporting stones. Behind the stone statue is a group of craftsmen, who seem to be carving something on a stone.
"What are you doing!"
Since he was not familiar with the middle-aged man in the lead, Yu Yi stepped forward and asked.
"See for yourself, we are making a statue!"
The middle-aged man seemed a little impatient.
"As a villager in Daoxiang Village, why don't I know that I want to build a statue here?"
Yuyi continued to ask.
"There are many things you don't know. This statue was made for the new village Chang Yuyi. Don't disturb our progress by asking questions, otherwise you won't be able to bear the delay."
The middle-aged man became a little angry when he saw that Yu Yi kept asking questions.
"Humph, I am the village chief Yu Yi. Whoever asked you to build the statue comes out. I want to see him!"
Seeing that the other party was impatient, Yu Yi was a little angry himself and quickly revealed his identity.
However, his move didn't seem to work. The middle-aged man returned: "There are too many people claiming to be Yu Yi now. Most of them want to gain some benefits. You must be one of them. As the famous Yu Yi Village chief, why are you so young?"
After the middle-aged man questioned him, Yu Yi finally stepped aside and then remembered that he had never seen this middle-aged man before. He might be from another village, so it was normal for him not to recognize him.
"Oh, why are you here? Are you satisfied with the stone statue you built?"
Wu Chenggong suddenly appeared. Seeing Yuyi standing aside, he quickly stepped forward and asked.
"Wu Chenggong, what is going on? Why do you want to build a statue of me?"
Just when he met someone who could explain the problem, Yu Yi naturally transferred his anger and spoke a little harshly.
"He is the chief of Yuyi Village?"
The middle-aged man was very polite to Wu Chenggong and guessed it.
"Nonsense, you haven't come to see the village chief yet, why are you standing there?"
Wu Chenggong scolded him a few times.
"Ah, the village chief Yuyi is so arrogant. I am really blind-sighted. I still ask the village chief to blame me."
The middle-aged man looked very panicked, with beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.
