Tang Jincheng ordered calmly: "Come here, go find the doctor who is sitting in the hall to diagnose and treat Mrs. Nie."
Seeing that this trick was useless, Mrs. Nie took a long breath and woke up leisurely.
"Sir, no need, my old lady is awake."
Tang Jincheng didn't want to watch her act anymore, "The case has been very clear. Mrs. Nie bit Nie Qianqian for no reason, stole money, caused trouble wantonly, disturbed the court, and was fined 500 wen, with a small punishment and a big warning. If there is no other reason, she will be fined 500 yuan." Resign and receive punishment."
500 coins? ? ?
Old Mrs. Nie felt a pain in her flesh, and she was throbbing in pain. This was really a loss for Mrs. Nie.
Nie Erzhuang was unconvinced. He was beaten by his mother-in-law and daughter, so the matter was settled like this? It really gave them an advantage.
Nie Qianqian's cold voice sounded, "Sir, there is one more thing that I would like to make a decision for the common people. Please bear witness that my mother Liu Yan wants to reconcile with Nie Erzhuang."
Nie Erzhuang immediately exploded. He had not yet settled the accounts with Nie Qianqian about his beating, but she still dared to mention the matter of reconciliation. The good daughter raised by this stinky woman is so disobedient and unfilial. She must be divorced and made her a cousin. She will not be able to hold her head high in the village in the future.
These days, reconciliation and divorce are rare in the village. A woman's status is not high. If she marries her husband's family, her husband's family will be dissatisfied. Most of them divorce their wives. The divorced woman will be considered to have no wifely virtue and bad conduct. It is difficult to remarry, and if you do remarry, you will have to find a widower to make ends meet.
Peace and separation? She was a married woman from a wealthy family in the town or provincial capital. The two families were well-established, and they really couldn't get along, so they had to give each other some dignity. Who is she, Liu Yan, to deserve such a face?
Nie Erzhuang said angrily: "Heli?? Sir, I want to divorce my wife, I want to divorce Liu Yan!"
Li Zheng was a little embarrassed next to him. He dared to bother the county magistrate with such trivial matters as divorce and divorce.
Liu Lizheng stepped forward and dissuaded him: "Qianqian, Erzhuang, let's go back to the village to talk about these things. Why bother bothering you here?"
Tang Jincheng waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. Now that we have arrived at the county government office, we will make our demands clear."
Nie Erzhuang spoke first, shaking the white cloth bandaged all over his body from side to side, "Sir, look at the injuries on my body. These were all caused by Liu Yan and Nie Qianqian's hands yesterday. Even behind my back was this death The girl was scratched with a knife! She disrespects her elders and disobeys my mother. It’s just that this woman can’t give birth to a son, and she can’t even teach children. I want to divorce him, please make the decision."
Nie Qianqian's face turned cold, "We are only fighting to protect ourselves. How many times have you hit my mother in so many years?"
Gu Xiao: "Sir, you don't know something. Nie Erzhuang has been a domestic abuser for a long time. He hit and scolded Liu Yan and Nie Qianqian until they were both physically and mentally disabled. Our dynasty has been in love with the late empress and his wife since the late emperor. Deep respect for each other is an example for all people. The late emperor once said that there are five things a husband should do to respect his wife. The first is to treat each other with courtesy, the second is to be dignified, the third is to have food and clothing at all times, the fourth is to be solemn and respectful to the wife, and the fifth is to be respectful. In the Fu family. It is also emphasized not to bully with force or force. A real man does something and does nothing."
Tang Jincheng nodded. Because the late emperor and the late empress had a deep relationship and treated them with courtesy, a trend of imitation began to spread in the capital. Especially, officials all respected their wives and had families. If someone's family was not peaceful and he was not in harmony with his wife, That is to be teased for being incompetent in managing the family.
Tang Jincheng looked at Gu Xiao appreciatively. He didn't expect the villagers to have such knowledge and knowledge, "That's true."
Gu Xiao has a handsome face, and although his body is thin, he is as tall as a pine tree. Since entering the county government, he has always been calm and self-possessed, without the slightest hint of embarrassment. He is confident and even noble in his movements. He really does not look like an ignorant villager.
After Gu Xiao finished speaking, an unknown color flashed in his eyes, and he continued: "I heard that there was a case in Beijing, where the daughter of Lord Shangshu married the son of the minister of the Ministry of War. After the marriage, the son of the minister of the Ministry of War was nostalgic for the fireworks and wine alley, and he was obsessed with the minister. The woman used violence from time to time, and when the late emperor found out about it, he ordered the two of them to reconcile and divorce, and to marry each other. He also punished the son of the minister and asked him not to take the scientific examination for five years. Sir, is this possible?"
This incident caused quite a stir in Beijing, and Tang Jincheng had also heard about it.
Gu Xiao did not hesitate, "The late emperor has already punished men for domestic violence. It is precisely because of this precedent that ordinary people have the courage to ask your Majesty to make the decision and sentence the two to reconcile."
Nie Qianqian turned her head and looked at Gu Xiao. At this time, her cheap husband had grown taller. No wonder he suggested coming to the county government office to quickly resolve the divorce issue yesterday. It turned out that he had already planned it in his mind.
When Gu Xiao said these words, I am afraid that no official would dare to disagree with the late emperor's judgment and punishment, and the outcome of this matter would be determined with one blow.
Tang Jincheng didn't know the purpose of Gu Xiao's words, so he couldn't help but look at him a little more. This young man has a strong heart.
He didn't feel angry. He looked down on men who committed domestic violence. He also had a harmonious relationship with his deceased wife, but God's will caused her to die of illness five years ago. In the past five years, he has not considered remarrying and has always been thinking about his deceased wife.
Tang Jincheng: "The late emperor and the late empress played the piano and harp in harmony and stayed together forever. It is a good story. Five years after the new emperor ascended the throne, he also had a close relationship with the empress. They loved each other and respected each other. Nie Erzhuang, if you are really a wife who has been a domestic abuser for a long time, I will You will be sentenced to make peace with Liu Yan."
Nie Erzhuang was confused as to what he said just now. What does the emperor, queen, minister, etc. have to do with this matter?
He only knew that it was normal for the village to beat his own mother-in-law behind closed doors. He just beat her more frequently and harder, and that was because the mother-in-law couldn't even give birth to a son.
One thing he understood clearly was that if he admitted to domestic violence, his plan to divorce his wife would be in vain.
He denied it, "I didn't!"
Liu Yan, who had been kneeling on the ground silently, heard this and suddenly raised her head, staring at Nie Erzhuang, her eyes instantly filled with tears.
Gritting his teeth fiercely, he squeezed out a voice from between his teeth and asked: "No???"
So what has she endured every day for more than 10 years, what are her nightmares every night, and what are the pains on her body?
She bit her lip to prevent herself from crying. She could no longer show any cowardice in front of this man. Today, her daughter and son-in-law were trying their best to get a decent departure for her. She had to be strong.
Liu Yan's whole body was shaking, and the shaking was getting bigger and bigger. She shiveringly opened her left sleeve and right sleeve, and then, regardless of the men on the field, she slowly rolled up her left trousers and right trousers until her limbs were exposed.
With a trembling voice, she shouted to Mr. Tang with all her strength: "Sir, look!"
This is a body that is unbearable to look at. The exposed skin is densely covered with various scars.
Some are beaten, some are pumped, some are new, and some are old.
The old scars were like centipedes that had immersed themselves into the body, while the new scars were light pink, and some even had just scabbed over.
Everyone present was moved, even those he didn't know felt distressed. Tang Jincheng looked at the scarred body at close range and couldn't bear to look away, feeling uncomfortable in his heart.
