"What a shameless slut."

At this moment, Tian Fugui's feelings are complicated, and she is ruthless and does not do anything, saving her from shaking off the past because of deep hatred for herself in the future, and said viciously: "Everyone has seen it with their own eyes, don't say anything, according to the old rules of the ancestors, sink the river!" ”

The big guys were shocked, and they were going to kill the widow? After all, human lives are at stake, and not everyone wants to kill.

It's just that Tian Fugui's ancestor is a scholar, and he also has the reputation of being a child, and he has a high rank and great power in the village, and he has always been used to being arbitrary, and the children of the same clan are not convinced, and he has to be afraid of three points. And other people with foreign surnames, even if they don't agree, they don't have the right to speak.

At this time, the ignorant and cruel side of the countryside was immediately exposed, and Zhu Zhanji was stunned to see that after making such an exciting decision, under the banner of protecting the honor and face of his clan, and with some opinions on discussing and resolving the inheritance of incense, this was the intention to divide up the property of the widow's family.

But seeing that all the men immediately echoed without thinking, the whole clan agreed, and not a single man said yes, and those young and ignorant good deeds immediately brought ropes and millstones.

In the frenzied atmosphere, people's moral concepts and cruel ignorance have been confused, and the women stood far away, feeling a little uncomfortable, and they had no choice but to sigh softly: "God! ”

"Slut, lose the face of the whole clan, quickly strip her clothes."

"Let you steal men, steal men, sluts who are worse than dogs."

"Don't save her face, don't you like to hook up with men to undress and throw yourself into your arms? Just let her be embarrassed before leaving, and take off her clothes! ”

In the midst of the confusion, the men's reprimands were mixed with ulterior motives, and the young people looked excited, chattering and scolding the women for being shameless, and tearing the widow's clothes without saying anything, and in a moment they stripped the disheveled long skirts and small clothes. A snow-white carcass exposed to the sun.

More and more men gathered around, shamelessly admiring the glamorous and rare young body, satisfying their deep-seated covetousness, but pretending to be disdainful, as if the young woman in their eyes was a pig and a sheep-like livestock.

Zhu Zhanji, who was only a teenager, could no longer describe this scene, and it was true that there was a law in the Da Ming Law that stripped women of their canes as a way to humiliate sinners, but most officials would not do this, especially women who were sympathetic to them. Unless it is to inflict sin on a married woman, because everyone hates this kind of adulterous woman.

And to a widow who was about to die. The widow who made it clear that she wanted to follow the adulterer, the woman who did not sprinkle, did not beg for mercy, did not mess around, and seemed worthy of sympathy, even if she did something wrong that she should not have done, could not leave her with the last bit of human dignity? People are going to die, and they still have to do whatever they want?

Xie Jin had already turned around, he knew that Xu Hao would definitely not stand idly by, but unfortunately Xu Hao was indifferent and watched silently.

The widow did not resist, but stood. Letting his clothes detach from his body, ignoring the greed of the man, he stayed on his twin peaks and lower body, and his wet eyes stared at the patriarch who decided to kill him in the crowd.

His hands were tied with ropes, and he carried a small stone mill on his back. The rope fastened the stone mill tightly around her neck.

Tian Fugui was afraid that she would expose the old bottom, and he was very angry when he was stripping his clothes, and he looked at the little widow's snow-white body a few times, and scolded "cheap." Cheap! ”

After satisfying his wish for many years, he pretended to be a righteous gentleman and disdainful again, and hurriedly hid in the Medicine King Palace.

Zhu Zhanji said angrily: "One word can decide the life and death of a person." So what is the use of the law? Every year, my father has to think twice, for fear that it will hurt people's lives and violate the peace of heaven, how can this be? ”

Xu Hao said: "I don't know. ”

In the palace of the medicine king, Tian Fugui and a few elders discussed the aftermath of the matter, and prepared to ask everyone to collectively draw a charge, and put the responsibility on this is a public discussion, so that it is a private matter within the clan, and secondly, the law does not blame the public, and has relied on this kind of 'democracy' to vote throughout the ages, and I don't know how many women have died unjustly.

Tian Fugui also warned those elders of the clan who have an indispensable mentality on this matter, people are old and afraid of things for many years, listening to the patriarch repeatedly quoting the sayings of the sages, showing his justice, and a resolute attitude to eliminate evil, it seems that only in this way can the shame of his clan be washed away.

In order to avoid accidents, Tian Fugui couldn't wait to order the clansmen to escort the little widow to the stream, and the angry blacksmith Li had already passed out.

Zhu Zhanji was a little excited, and said hurriedly: "No, I want to stop it." ”

Xu Hao suddenly asked, "You can stop one, can you stop ten hundred?" ”

"So what should I do?" Zhu Zhanji was a little confused.

Xu Hao glanced at Xie Jin, and finally didn't say anything, because he really didn't know how to continue.

Before leaving, an old cousin held a two-year-old child who didn't know anything, and wanted to lean over and let the widow feed the child the most milk, Tian Fugui yelled: "Old fox, you have seen the hell!" Don't hurry up and get out of the way. ”

The child was frightened and cried, and people noticed that there was no hatred or fear on the face of the woman on the verge of death, and she was not nervous at all, and the calm was palpitating.

The patriarch and the widow got into a small boat, set up their oars, and rowed up the river.

Zhu Zhanji, who couldn't bear it, said in a commanding tone: "I want to save her, I don't care about any big reason, I just want to save her." ”

Xu Hao smiled and said, "I understand." ”

Compared with the calm and unusually calm woman, Tian Fugui, the head of the family, sat at the stern of the boat, as if he disdained to look at the expression of the little widow, but in fact, complex and chaotic emotions rose in his heart like a whirlpool.

He is not a wicked person, he has never done anything bad in his life, and it is the first time in his life that he has to put someone to death. In order to remove the thorn in the conscience, it is appropriate to hypnotize oneself repeatedly, and it is related to the face of the whole clan, and it really can't be otherwise. As a patriarch and have read the books of sages, it is an unshirkable responsibility to maintain morality and ethics and the morality of clan rules, and his decision is right.

He did not hate the flesh that was young and healthy and radiated with fresh and hot light, nor did he hate the widow as a person, and even liked each other very much. What he hates is that the fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, why is she willing to be enjoyed by the blacksmith? But why is he so repulsed by his respected patriarch?

Strong jealousy and unwillingness burned in his heart, and Tian Fugui, who was self-hypnotized, had an infinite sense of morality, and the madness that I couldn't get and no one could get it was also vigorous. As for the rest of the people? When the initial impulse passes. Everyone calmed down, their expressions were a little unnatural, and it became more and more that the widow was calm and calm at this time, and knew in her heart that she had lost.

But people's hearts will be like a ship with inertia, knowing that they are wrong and blindly sinking to the end, and still no one chooses to stand up, and the silence on the ship is terrible.

At last the boat was rocked to the middle of the river, and the oarsman pulled the oars out of the water and rested them on the side of the board. The boat spun gently to the left and then to the right. Everyone on the shore of the ship knew what was about to happen.

An older clansman said: "The girl's mother, there is a debtor and a debtor, you know very well in your heart, so go well." If you have anything to say, say it. ”

The widow looked at the person who spoke to comfort her, and after a while, Fang said in a low voice: "Third cousin, please do something good, don't let them pinch my Xiuxiu to death." That's the incense of the Tian family, when you grow up, don't hold grudges, it's enough. ”

The big guy was even more silent. The weather in the beautiful dusk, all of a sudden, became quiet, and no one would start.

Tian Fugui was very frightened in his heart, but as the patriarch, he had to show others. He got up and walked over to the woman, and suddenly threw the widow into the water. The whole ship was unbalanced, and he hurriedly leaned to the other side. It makes the boat sway, and people's hearts sway.

As soon as a person falls into the water, no matter who she is, she will inevitably struggle, but the stone mill tied to the widow does not give her a chance to struggle, and she sinks in a whirlpool.

The blisters tumbled out vigorously, and soon the surface of the water was calm, and a fresh life disappeared in the blink of an eye, disappearing without a trace.

The boat gradually moved away from its original position as the water progressed, and the young people on the boat stared straight at the water, unable to leave for a long time, and if there was any point in killing a woman, it would make some people mature, and this event would probably be unforgettable for the rest of their lives, although most people would still be so chaotic for the rest of their lives.

Death took away her personal shame and grievances from life, and also left an invisible gift to everyone.

Zhu Zhanji clenched his fists tightly, he grew up in the era of the emperor's grandfather who was wise and martial, and did not experience the painstaking efforts of Taizu to kill the world, since he was a child, his grandfather Zhu Di was a great hero, a bright and upright monarch, in order to protect the family, and the soldiers shared the joys and sorrows, the heroes who depended on each other in life and death, and the men who stood up to the sky.

His father was a benevolent and righteous king, he had never killed a person in vain, he grew up in the era when the Ming Dynasty had the cleanest political atmosphere, and the dark and sneaky seemed to be far away from him. Even his most hated uncle Zhu Gaoxu in history did not have the opportunity to do anything, because he did not feel the slightest fear of life being precarious and stormy.

Xu Hao has been quietly observing his reaction, no matter what he can make the prince experience and what he can change, he only hopes that this scene will make him more mature.

Xu Hao said slowly: "Death is sometimes a kind of relief, but also a means of revenge, she 'died', but the meaning of 'death' was transferred to the living. It seems that they have fulfilled their solemn obligations, but they have killed people with their own hands, a woman who should not have died, I believe that they will always be condemned by the invisible conscience, which may be nothing to the wicked, but for ordinary people, I am afraid that it is the most unbearable punishment, carrying the curse of death. ”

Zhu Zhanji frowned and listened, and saw that the boat was rowing ashore at a fast speed, and several men who looked high-spirited expressed "bravery" and "determination", but hurriedly went to the ancestral hall to kowtow, and then immediately set off firecrackers to hang red to expel the evil spirit, which shows that they are still weak in the end.

Among them, the one who felt the most was the patriarch Tian Fugui, who had already recovered the "honor" that had been lost in the clan.

Four years later, the patriarch committed suicide in the ancestral hall. (To be continued......)
