In order for Tianfu's officers to arrest the traitor Song Tu, the court adjourned for a while.
The people listening to the trial inside and outside the hall were no longer restrained by the officials of the yamen. They really threw stones in the men's toilet, arousing public outrage.
For men, there are two irreconcilable hatreds: the hatred of killing one’s father and the hatred of taking away one’s wife!
It is a heinous crime to steal someone, but to bring them home and put them on the bed where your husband sleeps every night is really unheard of and appalling.
For a time, some of the people who were listening to the trial said that the king was a good man. Some cursed the king's wife, and some sighed with regret. Why didn't they just kill the adulterer with a knife?
Some even say that it is easier for them to kill adulterers and adulterers with one knife. They should be tied up, stripped of their clothes, and paraded throughout the city for three days. They will be reviled by thousands of people and shame them to death!
"My cousin is the most honest and responsible person. Although he doesn't have much potential, he can still rely on his strength, be filial to his parents, and support his family. He is also a good man!" The proprietress of the tea stall was next to the old man, crying, "Marry yourself." After I got this wife, I worked day and night to make money, for fear of wronging my wife."
"His wife can use anything good first. During the holidays, I can't even bear to make half a pair of new clothes. When my shoes are broken, I beg my slave to mend them and keep wearing them!"
"Just like that, the shameless one always scolded the slave brother, and this time he did such a scandal. She just wanted to be shameless, and she implicated the slave brother and committed this heinous crime of murder!"
She cried while talking, and cried while talking.
Zhu Yunxi felt a little uncomfortable after listening, "Hey, honest people always suffer!"
But fortunately, the laws of the Ming Dynasty protect honest people.
He couldn't help but suddenly think of a friend of his who worked as a carpenter on a construction site after graduating. Over the past ten years, with his hard work and intelligence, and the promotion of his boss, he started a contracting team and made more than one million yuan a year to his family.
Now that he has money, his friend is not too lazy. He is an honest person by nature. He smokes the cheapest red plums, doesn’t drink alcohol, opens a Wuling Bread, and does his own work every day. He wears a pair of domestic sneakers, A coat for my wife costs 7,000.
One day this guy went out to work, and he remembered that he had left his tools at home, so he went back. As soon as he opened the door, he saw his wife and a man having sex on the sofa.
In anger, he threw a screwdriver at him and went to jail. The adulterer received compensation, and his wife divorced him and received half of the property.
How can they explain this matter?
Are honest people destined to be living kings?
So, Zhu Yunxi took advantage of the old bridesmaid's sobbing break and said, "Don't worry, boss lady, your cousin Wang is right to kill someone, but there won't be any serious problems? Don't you know the laws of the Ming Dynasty?"
"You're a Taoist woman, and you don't know her words. How can you know the laws of the Ming Dynasty!" cried the landlady, "But I know that you must kill someone to pay for your life, and you must pay back your debt!"
Indeed, due to the literacy rate in this era, almost 99% of people do not know what the Ming Law is.
"Hey, you guys are studying!" The old man suddenly squinted his eyes and looked at the scholars from the Imperial College next to him, "Tell us ladies, how should we handle this kind of thing according to Ming law?"
Those students from the Imperial College were whispering, and they seemed to be talking about today's events, which were similar to the popular Water Margin. Isn't the king's wife Pan Jinlian Yan Poxi?
Suddenly being interrupted by the old man, they were a little unhappy. But when they saw the old man's face, several people were naturally trembling and their hearts pounded.
One of them paused, then raised his hands to the tea stall proprietress and said, "Sister, if what your cousin Wang said is true, according to Ming law, you are not guilty!"
"Ah!" the tea stall proprietress exclaimed, somewhat disbelieving.
The student laughed again and said, "It is a law of the Ming Dynasty that if a wife or concubine commits adultery with another person, and the husband personally catches the adulterer at the place where the adulterer is committed, and the adulterer kills the adulterer immediately, don't do anything about it."
To put it bluntly, it is not illegal to catch rapists and murders. The Ming Law encourages people to use this method to protect their own rights and interests.
The law of the Ming Dynasty also said that it is forbidden to kill the adulterer, and the adulterer will be punished according to the law and marry her husband and sell her. This means that if you only kill the adulterer but not the adulterer, then the adulterer is guilty, and the husband will even buy her.
, the Yamen doesn’t care either.
But at the same time, there is another rule: if a woman is married to an adulterer and sold to an adulterer, the adulterer will receive ten sticks from each husband, the woman will be divorced and return to the clan, and her property will be transferred to the official.
Some people found that they were wearing hats, so they could not sell their wives to adulterers. If they were wearing hats, the adulterers would each get ten dozen blows. The woman was ordered to return to her father's house, and her property was confiscated.
If there is a male and female child born from an adulterer, and the adulterer raises the child, he must also compensate the husband for the money he spent raising the child over the years.
This is the law that protects honest people in this era.
Your wife brought a hat to you and killed them on the spot, no guilt.
"Really?" the tea stall proprietress exclaimed again.
"This is a law set down by Master Hongwu himself. How can it be false?" the student laughed again.
"Master Hongwu will live a hundred years, and his life will be boundless!" the tea stall proprietress clasped her hands together and kept chanting.
The old man smiled slightly at the side and looked pleased with himself.
The tea stall proprietress muttered a few times, as if she was in shock, and continued, "It's better to be innocent than innocent!" As she said this, she said with some fear, "Kezi's temper is too inappropriate. That woman is shameless.
If you just get divorced, why kill someone?"
"A leopard comes out of a wilting man. Although your cousin is an honest man, he was ridden on his neck and shitted. Seeing such humiliating things with his own eyes, as long as he is a man, he can't help it!" The old man said, "Kill him."
Well done! If you don’t kill that whore, your cousin won’t be able to hold his head up for the rest of his life!”
"But.........."
The tea stall proprietress wanted to say more, but the student next to him smiled and said, "Fortunately, he was killed. Otherwise, if he had caused trouble in the Yamen, your brother would have been in trouble?"
"How can you be unlucky if you don't kill someone?" the landlady asked puzzledly.
"Haha!" The student continued to laugh, "To put it bluntly, according to the Ming Dynasty law, if you find your wife committing adultery, you will not kill her or arrest her, but she will bring it to the government office. The husband has a ten stick, and the adulterer has a ninety stick!"
"How can there be such a reason?" The landlady was even more confused, "You still have to fight even if you are right?"
"That's what the Ming Law is like!" The student said with a smile, "When Lord Hongwu first established the Ming Law, he said that the law governs the world, makes the people abide by it, and protects the people. However, the law does not exceed heavenly principles and morality. If some people break the law, it is because of
Indignation should be done as a last resort and should not be used to commit serious crimes if there is a judge!"
"But if there are common people who are willing to accept humiliation and humiliate themselves, there is a minister who can act as a stick to warn the people not to lose their blood!"
The tea stall proprietress heard this with half understanding and murmured, "It's no crime to kill someone, but if you don't kill people and don't make it public, you will be punished? Lord Hong Wu is really overbearing!"
"You're much more domineering, and you haven't seen it yet!" The old man grinned.
At this time, Zhu Yunxi caught a glimpse of Li Qi coming in with sweat on his face.
"How is it?" They walked aside and asked in a low voice.
"It's just as Long Live Lord expected. The Yamen officer went to save the place, and Song Tu had already escaped!" Li Qi said.
"Where is Jin Yiwei?" Zhu Yunxi asked again.
"The Jin Yiwei received the imperial edict and immediately surveyed the Nine Gates and the Canal's exit files. Just an hour ago, Song Tu left the Xihua Gate, and the Jin Yiwei were already rushing to chase him!"
