Chapter 85: Containment
(Roll for recommendation votes)
"One, two, three, four."
Half an hour later, in the house of the farmer who planted jujube trees in the north.
Heifu counted a few women sitting together, and asked Li Zhengdao, who was tied to the pillar by Wuhuada: "In the peak, in the blind mountain, there are only these four women who were sold by human traffickers?" ”
Feng's hair and beard were still stained with coagulated chicken blood, and he was very embarrassed, and he turned his head angrily, unwilling to answer.
Tian Dian, who was still a little timid on the side, hurriedly responded: "Pavilion chief, there are still a few people, but they have been bought for a long time, and they don't want to return home......"
Heifu nodded, this is also human nature, and over time, the heart to leave faded, that is, the daughter of the foal "Iris", and Ji Ying They found that the woman who was abused in the pigsty was the most resistant, and tried to escape again and again.
It turned out that after Fang Cai Heifu and Dongmen Leopard restrained Li Zheng and Tian Dian, they immediately took these two hostages, forcing the people who rushed to get out of the way all the way after hearing the news, and walked all the way to the place where the whistle sounded in Libei.
Liham, Ji Ying, and Ju, along with a rescued woman, are being besieged by three men from the farmer's family and their neighbors. It was another roar from the Dongmen Leopard, which drank them back, and the people of Huyang Pavilion were able to converge.
Heifu asked the courtyard door to be closed, using this farmer as a temporary base, and using Lizheng and Tian Dian as a threat, so that the people outside could quickly bring other women who were plundered and sold in Lizhong!
Everyone in the blind mountain is basically the descendants of a Puren tribe in the past, Li Zheng and Tian Dian are both officials and patriarchs, Li Zheng is not cooperative, but fortunately Tian Dian did what Heifu said, and after a while, two more women were sent over.
Hefu was about to take the people and leave the blind mountain as quickly as possible, but he was blocked back by the inner wall.
In order to gather everyone and rescue the looted and sold, they were still one step slower, and the third person in the middle of the prison had already heard the news and rushed to organize the people to besiege them.
Under the organization of the Inner Prison Gate, the originally scattered people outside began to gather more and more, each holding a farm tool, surrounding the farmhouse, they did not dare to rush inside, but they also refused to give way to the road, and the two sides were deadlocked.
Heifu asked Dongmen Leopard and Lixian to guard outside with spears and crossbows respectively, while he and Ji Ying were inside, asking about the experience of the four women.
So, starting with the daughter of the foal, the four women who were sold to the blind mountain, began to complain with tears in their eyes......
……
Iris is only 16 years old, but because of the hardships of the past two years, she is a little haggard, not like a flower girl.
She said that she was two years ago in March, when she went to pick mulberry, she was greeted by an old woman passing by, who was in her fifties, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and chatted with her, and praised the beauty of the kite. Then she said that her relatives were waiting for her behind the mulberry forest, she couldn't walk, could she let the kite help her over.
Kite didn't doubt that he had him, but what was waiting for her behind Sang Lin were two men more than seven feet old, who put a sack on her head, strangled her unconscious, and threw her into the car......
In the following days, she was half-awake, her mouth was gagged, and she was not allowed to eat, so that she could not escape. has been bumpy and sent to the blind mountain, and when she was taken off her hood, she was already sitting at Li Zheng's house, and Li Zheng said that she had been sold as a concubine, and from now on, she would be the wife of Li Zheng's stupid brother......
The days of the Li Zheng family, to be honest, are not too bad, but the kite has always remembered her parents, and
I can't stand to serve that stupid "husband", so I tried to escape many times in the past two years, but each time I was caught by Li Zheng and others.
Iris said while gritting his teeth and looking at Li Zheng, because Li Zheng's stupid brother didn't know about men and women, that night, Li Zheng actually demonstrated in person, taught him how to have sex with the iris hand in hand, and then violated her several times.
She has been pampered by her parents since she was a child, how could she have suffered this kind of humiliation, once tried to hang herself, but was rescued again, in the past two years, it is really better to live than to die......
At this point, she threw herself into her father's arms again and began to cry out loudly, for this sixteen-year-old girl had already endured the greatest suffering in the world.
However, her experience is nothing compared to the woman who was locked in a pigsty and called "Yu......
She has been locked up for a long time and is a little insane, and the filth on her body has been cleaned up with the help of others, and Heifu also covers her body with his own clothes. But no matter what she asked, she would only giggle and repeat things like "I was sold", "help" and "spare my life".
Therefore, Heifu and the others could only learn about her from the bystander accounts of the other three women.
Kite said: "She was plundered and sold three years ago, and sold to the three brothers of Libei for more than 1,000 yuan, and at the same time gave them wives......
Polyandry, this appalling and reckless custom, is not unique in the blind mountains. Another woman also cried and said that she was a father and son at the same time......
Among the women who were plundered and sold, the one who resisted the most violently, after all, this kind of life of serving the three brothers at the same time is unacceptable to ordinary people. But like the kite, every time she escaped, she failed, and the three brothers were very cruel, every time they caught her, they would beat her hard, lock her in a dark room and starve for a few days, and it was at that time that Ji Ying accidentally bumped into her.
In the end, he simply closed the pigsty, and from then on, he began to go crazy.
After these women finished speaking, without waiting for Heifu to make a move, Ji Ying was already so angry that he kicked Li Zheng a few times, and there were several sisters in his family, who were about the same age as Yu and Iris, and they were inevitably angry.
"Whose sister is not a sister, whose daughter is not a daughter, you are really good at it! As a li, when he saw such a tragic thing, he didn't care about it, and he took the lead in buying it! What a beast! Although my Ji Ying is not a good person, she can't do this kind of thing! ”
He turned his head and sneered, "Otherwise? There are many men in the blind mountain, and it is far away from other places, and the women in the other places are unwilling to marry, and the women in this book are not enough, so they can only buy from the outside, what else can be done! ”
This is the reason why the blind mountain from top to bottom is so keen to buy plundered and sold women, the original good people have become evil people, just because of the instinct of fertility.
Of course, the slave trade was legal in these days, and they could also buy concubines, but an adult concubine cost more than 4,000 yuan. The blind mountain is poor, and several families can't scrape together so much money, at this time, the traffickers come to the door, and the women they provide are not only young, but also only need one or two thousand yuan each!
Li Zheng was there with a vigorous speech, and it seemed to be reasonable, but the kite angrily slapped him and scolded: "Don't quibble here, I heard the old man say it, it's not because he likes to drown when a baby girl was born in the blind mountain!" If you can have today's situation, you deserve it, I curse your whole clan and all of you to be wiped out! Bah! ”
She spat on her face, and the black man asked the foal to pull her back.
In this way, the matter in the blind mountain is clear, although the people in this place did not directly participate in the plunder, but they knew that those women had problems, but they still bought from the traffickers many times, which has lasted for more than ten years, and more than a dozen women have been sold here by the same group of people one after another.
But except for the four people in front of them, most of the others accepted their fate, or felt that marrying anywhere was not marrying, and now that they had the hope of being rescued, they silently chose to give up.
Maybe it's because they have children here and can't give up.
At this time, Na Tian Dian was already asking Heifu what crime he would be punished for if he had not purchased the plundered person?
"Regardless of whether you are involved or not, as long as you don't report it, you will be punished! It is certain that you will be a city dan, and as a lieutenant, you will be guilty of one more crime, and you will be punished with a black face! ”
Li Zheng was red-eyed, and said the crime, and then sneered: "As for us who know that these women are not coming properly, but still buy them, we are guilty of the same crime as the plunderers, and we are guilty of capital crimes!" ”
"Looks like you still know?"
Heifu sneered, it seems that this one has been specifically asked to understand.
Indeed, in the Qin law, plundering and selling human beings is the same crime as forcible and rape, and it is punishable by punishment, and the corpse is abandoned in the city!
As long as it is a buyer who knows in advance, it is also guilty of the same crime, and the buyer who does not know in advance will be the Cheng Dan Hang, and the other people who assist in concealing it will be cut off as the Cheng Dan Hang......
In the Qin State, the punishment is so severe, and the crime is so heavy! It is completely different from the gentle regulations of later generations that "anyone who buys abducted and trafficked women or children shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, short-term detention or public surveillance" and that "if there is no abuse of the purchased child and does not hinder his rescue, he may not be investigated for criminal responsibility".
Although this kind of severe punishment for trafficking makes Heifu feel relieved, there is also a problem, that is, if the offender knows that he is dead, he will resist stubbornly......
"It's a little difficult for us to get out of the blind mountain safely today......
Hefu opened the window, and outside the fence of the farmer's house, it was already surrounded by water, and almost all of the more than 200 people in the whole house, men, women, and children, were gathered here, they were holding farm tools, their faces were dark, and their eyes were full of unkindness.
More than 2,000 years of history have come full circle, and there will always be a sudden convergence at some point or event. This scene is familiar......
