Qiu Ming slapped the shocked wood fiercely: "Qiu, this official asked you, do you have any remorse for committing such a vicious act?" ”

The villager was anxious, and now that the evidence is conclusive, the county magistrate did not hurry up to announce the verdict, but wanted to ask the convict if she had any remorse, was she ready to exonerate her? The villager didn't have time to object, but he saw Qiu Shi shaking his head expressionlessly: "Bingshangguan, the people's women have no regrets", her expression suddenly became hideous: "The people's women have been ruined by this person all their lives, and they can't wash away the humiliation of this body with all the water of the three rivers. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

There was a big uproar in the hall, and some children were so excited by the anger on Qiu's face that they were so frightened that they cried, and several old men shook their heads together and said: "Unreasonable, unreasonable, even if he deceived you first, you should also forgive, treat him with courtesy, and supplement him with virtue, which is the way to be a woman." ”

Qiu Ming pondered for a while: "Qiu, do you want to die or live?" ”

There was another commotion in the hall, and the village elder shouted: "The woman killed her husband, rebelled against the family, and begged the official to punish the canonical punishment to set an example to the world." Another person said: "This woman is violent, and I am afraid that after death, she will still turn into a terrible ghost and cause trouble in the village, so she should kill her eyes, break her tongue, cut off her limbs, and then nail her chest with peach wood nails, so as to ensure the safety of the water and soil." ”

Zhang Yulan, who was hiding on the side and eavesdropping, was very angry, these people are obviously talking nonsense, the Zhang family has been driving away ghosts and catching demons for several generations, Zhang Yulan has also learned a lot under the influence of her ears and eyes, how can she use such an evil method? She was about to show up and go out to say the law, but when she saw Qiu Shi throwing herself on the ground, she kowtowed and said: "The folk woman has nothing else to ask for, but to die quickly and to be fulfilled by Shangguan." ”

Qiu Ming looked at her for a while, and suddenly said, "I heard that you have two sons and a daughter, don't you want to see them again?" ”

Qiu Shi was struck by lightning, and tears welled up like a fountain: "Mother and son are connected, how can you not want to?" It's just that they have long been sold by the thief, and they will not see each other until they reach the Yellow Spring. ”

Qiu Ming smiled: "This is not necessarily, you see, who is coming from the compartment over there?" Qiu Shi hurriedly turned around and saw Ju Kong leading a four or five-year-old girl up to the hall, the girl had a yellow face and thin muscles, and looked like a fool, just standing and looking at everyone in the hall.

Qiu snatched out quickly, viciously snatched the child from Jukong's hands, the girl still had a blank expression, let Qiu ruffle her hair, wrench her neck, and carefully examine the birthmark on the back of her head, like a rag doll without consciousness and emotion.

Qiu Shi looked at it for a while, suddenly burst into tears, hugged the girl and said, "Dong'er, you are my Dong'er." The girl stared blankly at the woman in front of her, who was silent, and somehow there seemed to be a glitter in her eyes.

Qiu Ming said: "I'm sorry, I only rescued your daughter, and my two sons have been sold to other counties, but this official will definitely try his best to help you get them back." He raised his voice and asked, "Now, prisoner Qiu, do you want to live or die?" ”

Qiu knelt down and kowtowed again: "Shangguan, the women want to live, they want to live!" I want to watch Dong'er grow up, watch her marry and have children, and enjoy peace. ”

Everyone was in an uproar, this is a felony of murder, or a murderous husband, this woman still wants to live, it's really ridiculous. And seeing that the county Cheng behaved like this, most of them wanted to overturn the case for her, and for a while, the crowd was angry, and many people scolded the dog officials in a low voice. Wei Yan and Huang Zhong were all furious, and they looked left and right with their sabers, and the hall was immediately silent.

At this time, the girl Dong'er suddenly stretched out her hand, gently stroked Qiu's face, and murmured: "Mother, are you my mother?" Mother, I'm so scared, they scolded me, beat me, locked me in a small room, didn't give me food, mother, I'm so afraid. ”

Qiu held Dong'er tightly in her arms, as if she wanted to melt her daughter back into her body, and her cry was bitter and harsh, like a she-wolf on a moonlit night. Several old women in the crowd were also crying silently, and it seemed that the accusations against Qiu had gradually become softer.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the villagers hurriedly encouraged the bitter lord to also let out a loud voice of grief to win the sympathy of everyone. In the midst of a buzz, Qiu Ming patted the startled wood again: "Prisoner Qiu, since you want to live, just recruit what you said yesterday one by one." ”

In front of everyone, Qiu Shi said her tragic experience again, and today she added a wealth of personal feelings, which was much better than yesterday's empty description, which made people cry, and Dong'er in her arms cried even more. The villager said loudly: "Although this woman has something to be pitiful, her crime of killing her husband is serious, and she will inevitably die." ”

Tyumen smiled: "Kill the husband? Who is her husband? ”

The bitter lord hurriedly stood up and said: "My family is his husband, but he was murdered before he was fifty years old, and his death was extremely miserable, which made people cry and be shocked. ”

Tyumen asked: "If you are called a husband and wife, can you have three media and six certificates?" ”

The bitter lord and the villager were suddenly speechless, this woman was obviously abducted and sold from other counties, where can there be any media evidence? Qiu Ming continued to ask: "My Han family established the country with courtesy and righteousness, and there is neither the order of my parents nor the words of a matchmaker, how can I become a husband and wife?" Could it be that you and others conspired to ** this woman? ”

The bitter lord was dumbfounded, and argued loudly: "My township is poor, and the daughter from an unscrupulous family is willing to marry into the hometown, so he buys a foreign wife to match Dingkou, but he has never conspired **** The old man also stood up and said: "Shangguan Mingjian, the customs of the people in my township are like this, otherwise we can't continue to be people." ”

Qiu Ming Tie blushed and said: "Nonsense, if you don't abduct and sell women, you can't continue to be a person?" What about the trafficked women? Do they deserve to die? Just silently made your fertility tool? ”

The villager still replied stiffly: "Qiu County Cheng is the official of Dengzhou, and he should be the master of the people of Dengzhou, and the women of other counties care what he does." Besides, a woman will eventually marry, so what is the difference between marrying a child in my village and marrying in this county? ”

Qiu Ming pinched the startled wood, as if he was comparing whether he could smash this piece of wood into the face of the old villager, and whether he could smash him into a sunny spring flower. However, if Han Luli does not respect the elderly, he will be flogged, Qiu Ming is unwilling to show the law by example, he took a deep breath and said: "If there is no matchmaker to force a woman to have sex, this official can only sentence him to the crime of rape." The law says: Those who are strong and commit adultery are corrupted into palace ministers; Strong people think they are wives and helpers, and cut off their left toes as city dans. ”

The villager was anxious and said loudly: "Even if the deceased is guilty of rape, he is not worthy of death, and he has already died and his crime is gone." And Qiu's unprovoked killing, the township shook, and not killing it was not enough for the people to be angry. ”

Qiu Ming suddenly smiled: "My Han family's judgment emphasizes a spring and autumn prison sentence, that is, a conviction based on heart." Dear fathers and fellow villagers, if you live in the situation of the Qiu family, and are defiled by a strange man, lock his form, take his son, and abuse his heart, will you kill him? ”
