"Song Zhang, what else do you want this county to make decisions for you? The county is a little tired, you say it quickly! ”

It can be seen that Hu Zeyi is already a little impatient and in a very bad mood.

Mrs. Song knelt on top of the court, slowly looked up at Hu Zeyi, her eyes were empty, but full of firmness, and said leisurely: "The people want to leave their husbands." A letter of resignation, but the love between husband and wife for 30 years! ”

"What do you say? Stop... Hugh? Hu Zeyi exclaimed in surprise.

As soon as the word Hugh came out, everyone present was like Hu Zeyi, and they all showed puzzled faces. It is common to divorce a wife and release a wife, but this is the first time I have heard of a husband.

"You woman is just fooling around, Hugh? This building is unheard of! ”

Hu Zeyi kicked Mrs. Song angrily and reprimanded: "In all dynasties, from ancient times to the present, there is only the saying of divorce of wives, where is there such a thing as a divorce husband?" How can this ruler be the master for you? ”

Hu Zeyi said that it was a thing, in ancient times when men were inferior to women and the sense of husband's power was constantly strengthened, even in the Tang Dynasty, when the people were open, although the status of women was significantly improved, but women's husbands were not included in the law. Moreover, marriage and family harmony have a bearing on the stability of social relations, and it is not permissible to break up the family at every turn. In ancient times, even if a man wanted to divorce his wife, it did not mean that he could divorce him, and the premise of divorce was that the woman had committed the seven rules, so divorce of his wife was also called divorce.

If the woman has not violated the seven regulations, the man, who is the head of the family, is not allowed to divorce his wife, even if the woman wants to marry her husband. Otherwise, once the lawsuit is brought to the yamen, the government will punish the man severely.

Therefore, Mrs. Song actually proposed to take the initiative to divorce her husband in front of all the men in the court, which is absolutely unheard of for Hu Zeyi and others. No matter how much they despise Song Wen, they will not accept Song's provocation of the sense of husband's power and male authority.

Mrs. Song was rejected, she was not convinced, tears fell down her eyes, and she choked up: "Lord County Order, the folk woman and Song Wen have been married for thirty years, if there is a trace of room for maneuver, how can they leave lightly?" This guy has lost his conscience, and dared to rebel against incest in the face of the world's disapproval, but has he ever read the relationship between the people and his husband and wife? Have you ever remembered when he was in distress 30 years ago, I would rather starve myself than let him fill his stomach so that he could study in peace? Have you ever thought that in order to allow him to study in peace without having to run around for his livelihood, the folk woman did not hesitate to pawn the dowry, and even did not hesitate to be cheeky and repeatedly borrowed debts with his mother's family for him to eat and drink? ”

As she spoke, Mrs. Song was already crying to death.

"Alas......"

Everyone listened with a burst of sympathy, and Cui Geng even spat at Song Wen and scolded: "You said that you are a person who has relied on eating soft rice to get to this day, why are you so shameless?" I don't think you have a bad conscience, but your conscience has already let the dog take it away! ”

Song Wen's face was stiff, and he couldn't say a word of argument for a long time under everyone's fingers.

At this time, after seeing Mrs. Song breathe a few sighs of relief, she continued: "Lord County Order, in the past 30 years, the folk woman has fulfilled her husband and wife responsibilities to Song Wen, and it is Song Wen's private morality that has done dirty things, and the folk woman will have to suffer the sins pointed out by the thousands of husbands for him when she walks on the street in the future?" ”

Call~

Mrs. Song got up suddenly, her face was resolute, and she shouted in a strong tone: "If the county magistrate does not allow the women to ask, the women will not have the face to live in this world, so they will simply crash to death in this county government hall today!" ”

Twisting her head as she spoke, Mrs. Song had already spotted a pillar in the public court, and Hu Zeyi refused to make the decision, so she ran over and crashed to death on this pillar.

"Song, don't come nonsense!"

Hu Zeyi was anxious, hurriedly got up and dissuaded, and then shouted to the station officials in the hall: "Take care of her, don't let her find a short time in the county office!" ”

In fact, he was also embarrassed, there was no Hugh at all, where did he go to be the master of the Song family?

But he couldn't allow the Song family to really die in court. Now that the murder case of Mei Ji has not been solved, if another civilian woman hits and kills the county government, will he still have to keep the black gauze hat on his head?

If there are two lives in Xiaoqingyuan County in less than a day, even if it is two unfortunate deaths in his eyes, it will also affect the assessment of the officials for him this year, right? Once he leaves a bad evaluation in the assessment of the ministry, it will inevitably affect his career.

Grandma's!

Hu Zeyi secretly complained in his heart, but he was worried about this old man!

At this moment, Chen Ziang stood up and asked Mrs. Song, "Song, this official asks you, do you really want to end the name and friendship of husband and wife for thirty years with Song Wen?" ”

Song nodded resolutely, didn't even glance at Song Wen in the hall, and replied directly: "The folk woman has made up her mind, even if you stay with him for a while, the folk woman is dirty!" If you don't rest, you'd rather die! ”

"Ahem, Song, don't be excited, you have your own official to make decisions for you today." Chen Ziang took this matter on his body, turned around and said to Hu Zeyi, who was sitting on the public case, with a difficult face: "Hu County Order, although there is no one to say, but today's matter is thought to be solved in accordance with the "Tang Household Marriage Law". ”

"Tang family marriage law?" Hu Zeyi was reminded by Chen Ziang, and his melancholy brows were slightly soothed.

Cui Geng didn't understand a little, and he didn't say anything about Hugh, so how could it be solved?

Immediately, he stood up and asked, "Please also ask Chen Xiancheng to clarify his doubts, what is the "Tang Household Marriage Law"?" ”

Chen Ziang was about to speak, but he heard Hu Zeyi snort coldly, and said with a slight sarcasm: "As the lieutenant of Qingyuan County, you don't even know the "Tang Household Marriage Law"? If you don't know the Four Books and the Five Classics, and you don't know the law, it seems that it is difficult for the county lieutenant Cui to be qualified for the post of county lieutenant! ”

I'm going to go!

Cui Geng couldn't help but roll his eyes and scolded secretly, it's all this time, you bastard still have the heart to mock me at the little brother, and you want to kick me out of the county government when you have the opportunity?

Anyway, they are already tearing apart openly and secretly, and it doesn't matter if they hide it, immediately, Cui Geng gently shot back: "Don't keep staring at me, Lord County, you better understand this matter in the court first." If you don't solve this matter well, you will die again, and you won't be able to explain it to Feng Tingshi at that time. Is this the reason? ”

Boom!

"How dare you mock this official?"

Hu Zeyi angrily slapped the case and shouted: "County Lieutenant Cui, you are presumptuous!" ”

Cui Geng pursed his lips and answered softly: "It's also the ability to pat the table!" Am I presumptuous? Cut, I'm still willful. ”

The voice was extremely low, and Hu Zeyi couldn't hear it clearly, but looking at Cui Geng's indifferent hob meat embryo, he could almost guess that this guy must have nothing to say.

A county lieutenant still dares to contradict the county honor? It's the opposite!

So, Hu Zeyi wanted to open his mouth again to reprimand angrily, but he was beaten by Chen Ziang: "Since County Lieutenant Cui wants to know what the marriage law of the Tang family is, this official will listen to you." ”

Before Hu Zeyi went crazy, he explained the ins and outs of the Tang family's marriage law and the key points in detail.

The so-called Tang Household Marriage Law, the full name is "Tang Law Shu Discussion: Household Marriage Law", which is a systematic elaboration of the marriage system in the "Tang Law Shu Discussion", which mainly includes three aspects: the conclusion of marriage, the dissolution of marriage and the restriction of marriage.

Chen Ziang focused on the dissolution of marriage, that is, Cui Geng's dream of divorce is very common in later generations.

There are three provisions on divorce in the Tang Law Household Marriage. 1. Divorce by mutual agreement. It refers to the so-called "reconciliation" of voluntary divorce between a man and a woman: "If the husband and wife do not live in harmony and divorce, they will not sit". 2. Promote divorce. It refers to the forced divorce initiated by the husband, that is, the so-called "divorce". 3. Forced divorce. If a husband and wife are found to have "righteous renunciation" or "marriage in violation of the law", the government may preside over the compulsory divorce.

Chen Ziang reminded Hu Zeyi that the Song family wanted to divorce her husband, although there was no precedent, but the county government could preside over the forced divorce for her.

The premise of compulsory divorce is that it is a marriage that is unlawful and unlawful.

The marriage in violation of the law in the Tang Dynasty mainly refers to those who have not reached the marriageable age in the Tang Dynasty to get married, or who do not respect the elderly.

What about righteousness?

It refers to the fact that if a husband and wife or a husband and wife's relatives or one of the husband and wife beats, scolds, kills, injures, or rapes another relative, it is deemed that the husband and wife have broken off their righteousness, and regardless of whether both parties agree or not, the government will judge and force the divorce.

Incestuous righteous women like Song Wen are obviously already in the category of righteousness.

Therefore, in this case, as long as the Song family appeals to the county government, the county government has the obligation to uphold justice for the Song family and carry out a forced divorce.

……

After Chen Ziang's detailed introduction, Cui Geng has gained a lot of knowledge, and it seems that there were systematic and comprehensive regulations on divorce in the Tang Dynasty, no wonder he saw in his dreams how common it was for those red men and green women in later generations to divorce.

Hu Zeyi also nodded frequently when he listened, and then said to Mrs. Song: "Song, since Song Wen has committed the righteousness in the marriage law of the Tang family, and you don't want to be married to Song Wen anymore, then this official will make the decision for you today!" ”

"Then the county will draft the wife release book!" Chen Ziang also felt that the Song family was pitiful, and had the heart to fight for some things that should belong to her for her to release her wife, such as family property and money.
