After Huang Su'e returned to the court, her expression was dull and expressionless. She walked straight to the defendant's stone, knelt back with a plop, her head was still lowered, and others could not see the expression on her face.
The county magistrate acted in a difficult manner, sighed several times, shook his head and said: "I have arrived at my post. No, since I became an official, various strange and difficult cases have emerged one after another. This case is the only one that makes me feel like I have nothing to do. Feeling, Huang Su'e, you are a female, and major events in life cannot be controlled by you, but it is impossible for you to marry three husbands as a daughter. This matter is against the rules. I will continue the case today and will only punish you with thirty canes as a courtesy. Otherwise, you will be punished. My Xinghua people have simple and honest customs. If the people spread the word and everyone imitates it, how can we establish a righteous style and pass it on to future generations! Huang Su'e, the sinner, do you have something to say?"
Mrs. Huang was sweating coldly on the sidelines. This matter had nothing to do with her daughter Huang Su'e. It was all a conflict caused by her. The magistrate scolded her fiercely, which made her feel even more ashamed. Thirty punishments with a cane are no joke. Even an iron-clad man cannot hold up after being hit on his body. It turns out that he has to eat this meal by himself. How come he has become his own daughter. . ?
My daughter, you should bear the punishment of thirty sticks for your mother. . !
Huang Su'e's eyebrows were lowered, and her tears fell down, wetting the green bricks on the ground. She quietly bent down and kowtowed a few times, then got up and said that the female convict was guilty. The voice was as thin as the chirping of mosquitoes, but full of helplessness.
The county magistrate picked up a red pen, drew a sign, and threw it to the ground. Two government officials moved a bench out, and Huang Su'e lay down on it. There were ropes on the bench to fix her body, and her hands and feet were tied to prevent the prisoner from breaking free due to pain. After the rope was tied, the two government officials held water and fire sticks and began to perform the cane punishment!
The forearm-thick water and fire mixed with water and fire may feel like playing on the butt in TV dramas. It is like a teacher spanking a child, but in ancient times, if you were really punished with thirty canes, it might really kill you. !
Medical technology in ancient times was quite backward, and an ordinary injury could become a fatal disease once it was infected by bacteria. Cane punishment is not a simple spanking, but a strong adult man spanks your ass hard with a big stick. The first stick will burst the blood vessels in your butt, and the second stick will directly tear the skin and flesh, and the blood will flow directly. Squirt out, and the third stick is beating the meat sauce of the peeing beef balls, beating the torn meat into minced meat, and the next step is to repeat the action, beating a piece of meat into meat sauce!
After being beaten with this kind of stick, you usually take it home and sprinkle some medicine to treat the trauma. In ancient times, there were no so-called surgical procedures to suture you, let alone disinfection. All you could do was wait for death! Those who are rich can hire some miracle doctors to treat them. The knowledgeable doctors will scrape off the carrion and resuscitate it to prevent the wounds from rotting and infection. Ordinary people, especially these prisoners, will be thrown directly back into the prison after being beaten, and the wounds will become infected and inflamed in no time. With the pus flowing out, all that's left is to see when the King of Hell wakes up from his nap and sends Black and White Wuchang to come and take away his life.
Liang Chuan remembered that the famous Jin Yiwei in history turned the skill of beating people into an art. There are two realms of hitting people. One is that the intention is enough, that is, no force is exerted on the stick, but the stick and flesh are in contact, and the visual effect of sweating profusely is produced, so that people know that you are really hitting and not acting. , although the victim was bleeding and bloody after being beaten, the injured person was still able to go for a long run without any problems. The other is to fight hard! This method of fighting is to fight to death, both to prevent you from seeing it and to kill you.
Legend has it that these Jin Yiwei used sticks and stones to hit everything else that could be hit from the beginning. They practiced hard and hard. At what level can they be considered to have achieved some success in their kung fu? Place a piece of paper on a brick, and when you hit it with a stick, the brick will break into pieces but the paper on top will not be broken. This is when you have mastered the skill. What does it mean to be on a human body? When the stick goes down, the skin on the buttocks is still intact, but the muscle tissue inside is completely torn apart. It looks like the person is not injured. Now the family members are glad that the blow is not very serious. It's serious, but the family's mood is generally not very stable after they return, and they will most likely have to prepare for the funeral.
The officer's ruthless stick fell directly on Huang Su'e twice. Huang Su'e was wearing ordinary linen clothes. When the two sticks were struck, her clothes were stained red by the blood that burst out. What a pity for this stubborn girl, she didn't say a word and carried it down forcefully. Beads of sweat as big as beans rolled down her forehead.
Su Cheng and Feng Yizhi glanced at it. The picture was too bloody. They frowned deeply, turned aside, and continued to watch.
Huang Yi, on the other hand, couldn't stand the stimulation at all, and suddenly he was about to pounce on him, but was stopped by several government officials nearby to prevent him from destroying the cane punishment.
Huang Su'e is delicate and frail, even an adult man can't handle her, let alone a weak woman. After only five or six strokes, Huang Su'e fainted and her face was pale and bloodless. Seeing that she had fainted, the officer put his index finger above her nose and probed with his hand, but found that there was no pulse at all. The yamen servant was shocked and immediately reported to the county magistrate: "My lord, Huang Su'e is weak and cannot withstand the cane punishment. She has been caned to death in court!"
The magistrate sighed again, such a good girl was beaten to death. He sighed: "You just checked the deceased's breath, but did he really die?"
The officer said categorically: "Returning to your lord, my subordinate's breath was checked just now, and Huang Su'e was undoubtedly killed on the spot!"
Dead? When Huang Wang heard her howl, it could only be described as a howl of ghosts and gods. One person's voice could penetrate the entire court. This time, I could really hear the grief in her voice, which was a bit sympathetic. A good daughter was beaten to death in the court like this. She didn't want to marry anyone, but now it's better, it turned into a tragedy.
The audience in the hall couldn't help but feel pity for her. The attitude of the crowd changed from disdain and ridicule to admiration. Huang Su'e would rather die than surrender to show her ambition! The voices of ridicule and criticism in the court completely disappeared. Huang Su'e redeemed her reputation with her death!
Su Cheng and Feng Yizhi didn't dare to see Huang Su'e being beaten just now. When they came to their senses, the yamen officer had announced that Huang Su'e had been beaten to death. The look of pity on his face was beyond words, and he even stood aside, fearing that there would be some involvement.
She was such a beautiful girl. Even if she wasn't beaten to death, looking at the bloody mess of her ass, it would be a question of whether she could have children when she took it back! Let me ask, what is the use of marrying back?
Huang Yi didn't say anything. Although he was a dignified man, the tears had already flowed down. He crawled over mechanically, touched Huang Su'e's face with his hand, held her in his arms and cried silently. It was touching to watch. Even though Huang Wang’s biological mother was crying at the side, her cries were more like a performance than a true expression of true feelings!
The mood of the masses is almost in place!
The county magistrate coughed and said, "Now that Huang Su'e is dead, Su Cheng, your family has paid a bride price. Huang Su'e is already half of your Su family. You can take this body back!"
Su Cheng was shocked: "The county magistrate is really good at joking. It's true that our Su family paid the bride price, but Huang Su'e has never been married, so how can she be considered a member of my Su family? Whoever wants this dead body will want it. Our Su family I will never recognize this marriage!"
Su Cheng had a lot of money, but he just fell in love with Huang Su'e's beauty. Now that he was dead, he brought Huang Su'e home to do what he did. Did he deliberately want Huang Su'e to become a widower without asking for a wife?
The magistrate glanced at Feng Yizhi again and asked, "Feng Yizhi, since you and Huang Su'e are engaged to each other, do you recognize the marriage?"
Feng Yizhi chuckled and said: "It's a joke, which article of the Song Dynasty law stipulates that if I have a marriage contract with Huang Su'e, I must recognize her as my Feng family member. I am a dignified person. If our marriage contract with Huang Su'e is valid, why didn't the magistrate just directly transfer her to her?" Huang Su'e promised me, but it will only cost another life!"
Feng Yizhi secretly scolded you, you're an old fox. If I pass the exam next year, I will become famous. Why are you ruining your identity here?
The magistrate sighed: "You two, one is rich, and the other is tomorrow's top three, but didn't you just say you want to marry Huang Su'e, don't you have any feelings for Huang Su'e?"
The two of them kept silent, and cursed in their hearts, you old guy, how can you solve the case like this? You beat someone to death and now let us collect her body. Damn it, don't be too ruthless in what you do.
The county magistrate added: "Since you two refuse to marry Huang Su'e, what about you, Huang Yi?"
Everyone looked at Huang Yi, who was holding Huang Su'e's body in agony. Everyone felt that as long as people are not crazy, who would marry a dead person.
Huang Yi couldn't help but shed tears. His feelings for Huang Su'e were indeed real. His voice was trembling with sadness as he said, "I am willing to bury Huang Su'e's body as my husband!"
Everyone was moved by Huang Yi's words. They didn't expect that this poor boy among the three people really liked Huang Su'e, and he liked her so sincerely that it didn't matter even if he married a dead man. There was another trend of public opinion in the court. People did not accuse Su Cheng and Feng Yizhi of being callous. Instead, they admired Huang Yi for his love and justice. It is a pity that Huang Su'e was not lucky enough to see this scene when she was alive. .
The magistrate patted the scaffolding and said formally: "I now officially pronounce the verdict that Huang Yi is willing to marry Huang Su'e. The case of Huang Su'e marrying one daughter to three husbands was originally caused by the confusion between Huang Wang's deceased husband and Huang Wang's family. It was not intentional. One daughter is Xu Sanjia. Huang Yi and Huang Su'e are truly in love. They are a match made in heaven. Jin Jian will be found under the punishment of the rod today. The county has ruled that Huang Su'e married Huang Yi, and the case has been closed."
Everyone has been confused, and this person was beaten to death by you. You are talking so much official-sounding nonsense now that there is no use for it.
The county magistrate continued: "The yamen servant quickly goes to the lady in the back hall to bring the old ginseng soup."
The yamen servant did not dare to neglect, and quickly ran to the back hall and carefully brought a bowl of ginseng soup. The magistrate directly ordered to feed Huang Su'e, and at the same time taught Huang Yi to rub Huang Su'e's back. I saw that when Huang Su'e was pouring the bowl of ginseng soup, Huang Yi pushed and rubbed it, and the breathless person woke up again!
Back from the dead!
Even Huang Yi couldn't believe that such a thing happened, but he could really feel Huang Su'e's temperature in his hands. It wasn't getting colder and colder, it was alive.
When the common people saw this miracle, they all applauded! Everyone was full of praise, shouting loudly that Magistrate Song solved the case like a god, and his methods were even more brilliant. Such a strange case was solved by Magistrate Song with his clever tricks!
The county magistrate laughed loudly: "Huang Su'e just made things difficult for you. You did a good job of holding your breath. I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to withstand this punishment!"
"Daughter of the people, thank you, Lord Magistrate, for your support!"
It turned out that Liang Chuan had just told Master that he only needed to beat Huang Su'e hard and then let her pretend to be dead. You would know who is sincere about Huang Su'e once you try it. The county magistrate is also a veteran. Once you hear this method, you will know that it will work every time. , as long as Huang Su'e cooperates and pretends to be dead, both Su and Feng have their own plans, and they will never go into this muddy water for love, so Huang Yi doesn't want to marry this Huang Su'e, and this matter can be settled!
The people in the hall cheered repeatedly. The magistrate could think of such a clever way to solve the strange case. Everyone kept saying good things about the magistrate. This case became a sensation and became the talk of Xinghua County after dinner!
Magistrate Song was stroking his beard, feeling quite proud, enjoying the cheers of the people in the hall. Fame is a man's aphrodisiac.
