Chapter 75: Public Execution
"This old gentleman, I have come from the north to seek refuge with relatives, and I don't know what is going on in this city, so may I ask what is going on in front of me."
The old man put down the book, glanced at Qi Xiaotian, and said, "Then what else can happen, it's nothing more than a lawsuit." ”
Qi Xiaotian was stunned for a moment and said, "There will also be a lawsuit for the New Year." ”
The old man said with a smile: "Who made the lawsuit big, Taizun is also going to be angry, pity that woman." ”
Qi Xiaotian asked, "Woman? ”
"Yes, a good female doll, she is about to be punished, but a group of old men will only watch and have fun on the side, isn't it lively enough."
Qi Xiaotian said: "There is such a thing, what did that woman do." ”
The old man smiled and said: "What's the matter, it's nothing more than a beautiful appearance, a red face and trouble, that's a capital crime." ”
Qi Xiaotian was stunned for a moment and said, "What does this mean?" ”
The old man suddenly pursed his lips and said: "What kind of person wrote this, the man worships a woman as a teacher, and he also talks to the master to marry me and me, the world is corrupt, the people's hearts are not ancient, and they are depressed." ”
The old man tossed it aside, muttering to himself, shaking his head, but after a while, he picked up the book again, and said, "These words are all vernacular, but many words do not make sense." ”
Qi Xiaotian was a little ignorant, but he seemed to understand a little, in the eyes of those old masters, it was already very bizarre to say that a man worships a woman as a teacher, especially when it is written, the descendants of the Yang family, who have been loyal to the martyrs for generations, recognize the thief as their father, and recognize the legendary Jurchen as their father, that is really what a thousand masters are pointing to, at least in the eyes of many old masters, it is definitely a thorn in the eye.
In the era of later generations, whether it is a commentary, its position is to consider problems from the perspective of the Central Plains civilization, and there will naturally be problems.
Of course, this is also what the Council of Elders is willing, and there will be exciting plots such as Tianlong Babu in the future.
However, Qi Xiaotian is also strange, during this New Year, he is used to sealing, not working, such a lively day, I don't know what he is doing?
He walked over slowly, but instead of squeezing into the crowd, he listened: "Diao Min below, admit your guilt or not?" You should not be punished for arsoning with women! ”
In the middle of the lobby, there was a blur of blood and flesh, a person lying on the ground, could only moan there, and there were several officials standing next to him, and the water and fire sticks in their hands were still bleeding, and it looked like they had just been executed.
The people around looked at him and didn't dare to speak, but next to him, a scholar who was not tall walked over slowly and said: "I said, Huang Xi, you are really stubborn, Taizun is angry, don't you quickly admit it, do you really want to be ruined, your girls have been sentenced to hanging, and they will be executed in a few days, and now you still want to turn the sky upside down, come on, admit this crime, and compensate your family's land and other things to Taizun's son, and the safety of your family will be hidden, I have been a curtain guest in this neighborhood for a few years, Can't you still trust me Master Liu? ”
The beaten man was lying on the ground, but his head was raised rudely by a servant at this time, but he looked at the master and did not speak, and suddenly spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm, which hit the master's face, and there was blood in the phlegm, which of course made a servant who was holding him another violent beating.
"Stolen official, I won't let you go, and I won't let you go if I'm a ghost!"
"Hit me, hit me hard!"
The master was spit out, and he was also annoyed and angry, shouting a few words, but he was a little impatient, waved his hand, and said: "Stop, don't really kill you, you have to get out the gold bars from his Huang family's cellar." ”
He turned his head to look at the few men next to him who were chained to death, and said: "Xiao Huang, look at it, this is the fate of your father, and you, how good it is to stay in your hometown, you have to petition, oh no, it's a lawsuit, the emperor in the imperial capital is gone, how can you sue, it's not that you have been arrested." ”
"Master."
The big man behind him spoke, and Master Liu immediately turned his head, bowed down and said, "Master." ”
"Don't let the people misunderstand, thinking that there is something bad about my family and harming the official reputation of this official."
"Yes, yes," Master Liu listened, and immediately began to say to the onlookers: "Folks, you don't know how hateful the people of the Huang family are, their daughters don't abide by women's morals, and want to play fairy jumping, but they met the son of the master, and the son wanted to expose their tricks, but he was killed, but not only did they not admit their guilt, but they also made false accusations of beating a rake, and they wanted to go to the provincial capital to make trouble. ”
Master Liu's eyes scanned left and right, and his heart was calm, as long as anyone dared to say a word, he would be arrested immediately, and let the master fall afterwards, those who should go to the black coal kiln should go to the black coal kiln, and those who should kill the whole family should kill the whole family, hum.
"No...... It's the thunderous means of the big lord, we don't know that this Huang family is so vicious, and they dare to ruin the reputation of my Foshan so much, they should be killed, they should be killed! ”
Master Liu's eyes were a little wrong and looked at the few scoundrels arranged earlier, these guys, they usually get together and hang around, but now they are so troublesome, hum.
Some people said that the drought in the north a few years ago was that the Huang family had made the world have bad feng shui.
Some people say that the reason why Tartars and thieves are so rampant is because there are traitors and lackeys like the Huang family.
Some people also said that the Huang family had opened so many businesses in the city, and there must be tax evasion, so don't let him succeed.
Some people also said that the people of the Huang family like to on the street, and when he got up early and stepped on the, he didn't need to ask if it was the people of the Huang family.
Master Liu is very satisfied, the people up and down the Huang family can't resist, they can't run away, this is the time to avenge the old lady's son, who made the daughter of the Huang family too ignorant, the young master of the prefect's family took a fancy to her, but he actually dared to resist, hum.
Seeing that the people of the Huang family were not convinced, he was pleasant, the prefect lost his son, naturally he jumped up and down to make the decision, and at this time he proudly said to the young descendants: "Look at it, you are all beaten like this, you are still filial sons, why don't you dedicate the things outside your body to the master, so that the pain of the lord's loss of a son can be alleviated?" ”
"Dog official ......" A man was originally gagged, but he could just speak at this time, but he said such a sentence directly.
"Keep fighting."
The master continued to be beaten, but at this time, he was even more unscrupulous, and said: "What are you afraid of, hit hard, now the emperor is far away, this city is the lord's world, who can control it?" ”
It seems that he is going to be tortured again, but the master drove away the onlookers again, Qi Xiaotian also walked out slowly in the flow of people, he frowned, didn't know the essentials, walked out slowly, and returned to the old man who was reading and drinking tea just now.
The old man looked at the Condor Heroes, but he was enjoying it, on the ups and downs of the plot, how many years of experience in later generations, he could indeed crush ordinary scholars in this era, he should have seen the chapter of the little dragon girl who won the master of the martial arts alliance than me, it was really interesting.
Qi Xiaotian looked at it and said, "Old man, let me ask, what is the matter today, I only saw that the court was tortured." ”
The old man looked at it strangely and said, "Torture and torture, aren't you passing by to join your relatives, let's leave when you have enough rest." ”
Qi Xiaotian said: "But I think, how do you look at this thing, it looks like ......" He looked around, but fortunately there was no one around, "Bullying people." ”
The old man looked at it strangely and said, "Isn't the government just bullying the people, isn't the Ming Dynasty coming over like this for so many years?" ”
Qi Xiaotian said in his heart that this is not the case with the new imperial court of our imperial capital.
Indeed, Qi Xiaotian saw with his own eyes that an elder was an ordinary pomp and circumstance who didn't talk about hugging each other, accompanied by a bodyguard, and after colliding with a common man, the common people were panicked, but the elder didn't say a word and took out the money to buy another drink for the common people.
Qi Xiaotian can say this with pride and confidence.
Qi Xiaotian said: "What is the real thing like. ”
The old man said: "Don't ask about this, I still want to live a good life, old man." ”
Qi Xiaotian looked left and right, the old man was basking in the sun, and there were not many people at this time, so he smiled and said: "Actually, I am a storyteller in the north, it's not that my home is gone, so I went south to join my cousin, she married here, just listen to a story, otherwise, old man, I invite you to tea, you tell me about it." ”
As he spoke, he pointed to it and said, "I have a new one from last month, the one below this Condor Heroes, the Legend of Heaven and Dragon Slayer, and I'll give it to you later." ”
Qi Xiaotian took out a few copper plates and promised again.
The old man stopped and said: "What do I want money for, this thing is not uncommon, the people in the city don't know what's going on, it's nothing more than ......" He looked left and right, confirmed that there was no one, and then continued: "The prefect has also been in our province for a few years, starting from the county order, and it is becoming more and more powerful, and now the world is in chaos, as long as you pay taxes with good food, no one cares about you, so ah, it is getting more and more powerful, the prefect has a son, but he is lustful and loves money, and he has to marry whoever he likes. If you don't give it, you'll be embarrassed. ”
Qi Xiaotian said: "This is excessive. ”
"A few days ago, I was doing New Year's goods, but it was the daughter of the Huang family, and she was seen by the guy who was not ashamed, and she couldn't leave all of a sudden."
Qi Xiaotian said: "It's the Huang family who was caught." ”
"But isn't it, after he took a fancy to it, he first came to the door and asked to marry, what did the Huang family do, who in the city didn't know about the prefect's family, the daughter of the Huang family has always been raised in the boudoir, and no one can see her appearance, I never thought that such a time, but it would be troublesome, if not, the red face will be in trouble."
Qi Xiaotian said slowly: "This is originally a good thing, if you agree, you will also have a powerful son-in-law." ”
The old man smiled and said, "It's a pity, the eldest young master, there are mothers-in-law in every village, how many girls have been harmed by him, that's it." ”
"Every village has a mother-in-law" also stimulated Qi Xiaotian, at any time, people from Dick Silk don't have a good impression of the second generation who occupies too many women by one person.
"But there's no way, no one cares, well, no one cares." He knows more or less that the officials of the southern provinces, since the fall of the Ming Dynasty, the money that should be taxed to the imperial capital is a lot of money, as for the whereabouts, it is naturally not necessary to ask.
The abolition of military conquest by the elders and the use of the path of cultural victory and economic conquest prevented the southern provinces from mobilizing their troops, but it also caused them to disperse at once.
The old man said slowly: "How old is the girl from the Huang family?" I haven't promised to match anyone, I thought I was still a child, but I didn't expect to be fancied, if I was a little older, I had the reputation of that son, and I would never dare to let her go out and show her face, who knows, she shouldn't go to burn incense. ”
"Burn incense and burn incense," Qi Xiaotian thought about how the elders in the imperial capital explained the routines of those divine sticks when they were teaching, so he came back to his senses and asked, "What about after that." ”
"The Huang family refused in every possible way, hoping to settle it with money, but in private, they planned to send their daughter away and go to relatives, and it was better to talk about her in-laws over there than to marry ......"
Qi Xiaotian understood and said, "Didn't run away?" ”
"Prefect, there are really ruffians behind him, people are mixed in the car and want to get out of the city, and the eldest young master led a group of ruffians to the door, intercepted halfway, and taken to a courtyard, and wanted to commit adultery on the spot."
Qi Xiaotian said, "Damn." ”
"That's really dead, think about it, the eldest young master is also in his thirties, I don't know how many women from good families have been harmed over the years, how many innocent women, his body has long been ruined, and he relies on all kinds of drugs to continue his life, he was fascinated by the daughter of the Huang family to die or live, claiming to do her, but he took medicine before."
"Medicine?"
"Yes, anyway, there is a statement of what it is, at the beginning, it was said that the daughter of the Huang family was not cooperating with rape and causing people to die, and then I thought about it absurdly, so I said that it was an immortal jump, of course the Huang family didn't do it, but where is the place to reason."
Qi Xiaotian nodded and said, "No one can take care of it." ”
After the old man finished speaking, he seemed to be used to seeing this kind of thing, and he didn't even have the slightest indignation, and said: "It's all fate, the Huang family deserves such a fate, in the early years, not all of them were like this, I think this Ming is completely rotten, the old man said, every time the dynasty changes, the new emperor has to do something, and the life of the common people can also be delayed for a few days, and when the little emperor comes out again, it's that set again, but it's better than barely living like this." ”
When Qi Xiaotian heard this, he was sad, thinking of what he had done in the north, and remembering what the elders said when they lectured, to fight in the south and liberate the whole of China is to do good things for the people, not to fight for one family and one surname.
