Section 22 The first saliva

Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the city of Chang'an has not changed its inherent rhythm. One hundred and eight markets have been opened one after another. People seem to have forgotten the hustle and bustle of yesterday and still start their daily work, caring about those who are above them.

Rich families, why not pay attention to the price of rice today? You know, the price of rice has increased by a full 30% this winter. I wonder if the victims who have eaten up all the food in Chang'an are gone.

A greedy child rubs his sleepy eyes and looks at the elm trees on the street corner. He always wonders that those little elm trees never grow up. Yesterday, he saw green buds on the young branches. Why are they still old today?

He looked like he was pouring urine on the roots of the tree. This damn old elm tree was disappointing once again.

Look at the locust trees on both sides of the road and take a sip of saliva. Compared with elm money, locust flowers are the real delicacy. Steam a handful of white locust flowers and brown rice together, and the sweet flavor can be spread to the street market.

, but it’s a pity that the locust tree won’t bloom until April, and now its branches are still bare with nothing on them.

The dust raised by fast horses is always so annoying. Chang'an City in spring is always gray if it doesn't rain.

The knight jumped off the horse, carrying a bucket of paste in his hand, dipped his brush in the paste, and brushed twice on the wall. Then he took out a piece of paper from the bamboo tube on the horse's back and pasted it on the wall of the square.

After looking up and down, I found that the sticker was good, so I got on my horse and ran to the next target.

There are more than one or two such knights, they can be found everywhere. They just do the same job, which is to apply paste and stick stickers on them.

This is new. In addition to the notices posted by the government at the city gate in Chang'an City, there are also two drawings of criminal thieves. Who has ever seen someone posting Jin Gui's paper all over the city? There are also words written on them, not one of them.

I don’t know. Isn’t this a desperate move?

When something good happened, the owner of the grocery store was immediately called out. He was considered the most learned person in the neighborhood. If any family held a wedding or wedding, he would be missing that time.

The shopkeeper of the grocery store coughed twice. He cleared his throat and prepared to read loudly to show off his knowledge. Who knows. As soon as he saw clearly what was written on it, he immediately covered his mouth and ran back to the grocery store with a slurp. (Part 1)

It's closed down, it's closed down, and it's not even doing business anymore.

Seeing that the shop owner of the grocery store looked like a frightened donkey, the neighbors became even more anxious. They wondered what was written on it. Could it be that the government was going to collect taxes on a per capita basis in the city again? There were different opinions, and they had no clue for a while. Fang Zheng and Wu Hou were now

They were all reporting to the Jinwu Guard officials, but for a while they couldn't find anyone who could read or write.

A scribe wearing a round-collared robe came over, and he looked like a reading husband. The older man came up and said hello, but the young scholar was easy to talk to. Without saying a word, he came to the bottom of the list and took a look.

At a glance, he told the neighbors: "There are evil thieves in Chang'an City who like to use people to make candles. They put a funnel in a person's mouth, pour boiling wax oil into their stomach, and burn them alive."

After death, insert a wick and use it as a candle. Didn't children always get lost in Chang'an City in the past? Maybe it was this evil thief who made the child into a candle and used it to light up at night.

Before the scribe finished speaking, someone grabbed the scribe and asked him who this evil thief was. His children had been missing for two years. The scribe told him that no one had noticed this at first, but it turned out that Marquis Lantian was hiding in Xinghuafang.

He found one at home, and when he took a closer look at the candle, he recognized it. It turned out to be a singer from Pingkangfang on the edge of Dongshi City, named Luzhu. He had watched her dancing two days ago, but who knew that in the blink of an eye she would become a candle?

Of course, the Marquis was not happy, so he posted a notice to warn the neighbors to be careful about their children and daughters, and not to be deceived into making candles. He personally went to the Chang'an County Government to file a complaint for the poor woman.

Women demand justice.

As soon as the scribe finished speaking, he cupped his hands and prepared to leave. When he left, he warned the neighbors to be careful about his daughter and child. Looking at the crying neighbors who had lost their children, he sighed and left.

After passing the street corner, he took out a mustache from his sleeve and stuck it on his lips. Then he turned to the next corner and continued to explain to the neighbors who didn't know the truth...

The child who was drooling over the elm tree shoots just now was immediately taken home by his mother. He was slapped on the butt several times before his mother told him about the tragic incident of the Dou family making children into candles. The child was so frightened that he could not even cry.

I couldn't help but crawl into my mother's arms.

The children who were running around in Chang'an City are gone, and the young girls who like to go shopping are gone. Even those who have to come out have no choice but to walk in a hurry like being chased by wolves, and look left and right like thieves.

When the sun turned to the west, people finally breathed a sigh of relief. Some smart people thought that some dude from another family was causing trouble, and were going home to let the children out for air after being locked in the house all day. Unexpectedly, the Marquis of the Yun family

I really took the petition and went to the Chang'an County Government to file a complaint. Walking from the east end to the west end, most of the people in Chang'an City saw this righteous and heroic Hou Ye, who went to Chang'an with a face of vicissitudes of life.

County government.

The county magistrate was standing at the gate of the government office to greet him, but he had to ring the bells and drums on both sides of the county government office. Before people complained, they always knocked the bells and drums to urge the lazy magistrate to go to court to handle the case. This rule has since

It had been in the Han Dynasty. Yun Ye had no chance to knock this thing. If he had any grievances, he would usually go to the emperor to resolve them. But today he was wearing ordinary clothes, which meant that he could only conduct his own judicial proceedings in the way of ordinary people.

The common people have no way to sue the officials. If you sue the officials by the people, you must first accuse them of guilt. Even if you win the lawsuit, your spine will be eighty, and you will not lose one mile. If you are exiled for three thousand miles, you will never lose one mile. Looking back at the large group of people behind you

Chang'an citizens, Yun Ye had a smile on his lips, the Dou family, the Dou family would be submerged in this wave.

Chang'an County Magistrate Zuo Kui had never hated himself as much as he did today about why he wanted to be an official. Standing at the gate of the county government office, he watched helplessly as the marquis beat the drum, which was not beating the drum, but urging orders.

The county magistrate and the county lieutenant also had earth-colored faces. Yesterday evening, the Dou family told them that if Yun Ye came to complain and if they dared to accept the petition, the best fate for their family would be to be sent to Lingnan.

Yun Ye was sitting in the lobby of the county government office, drinking a bowl of yogurt, and leisurely watching the three officials looking at his lawsuit. They had to look at it, and they had to accept it. Yun Ye saw Hong Cheng standing in the court wearing the clothes of a government official.

On one side, he was dozing off, leaning on a bamboo cane and leaning against a large, solemn sign.

Killing a cheap singer is nothing. The criminal law only stipulates a fine of copper and a cane. The most severe punishment is a one-year ban. There are countless servants and maids who are killed inexplicably every year in Chang'an City.

I haven't seen anyone come to complain to the government, and most of them just pay a little money and food to settle the matter. The husband is too busy with his affairs, and who has time to pay attention to the affairs of the bitch, so the government has always turned a blind eye to this kind of thing.

One eye.

Who knows, if you walk a lot at night, you will encounter ghosts sooner or later. Perhaps the ghost of the bitch has accumulated too much resentment in Chang'an, and finally a marquis sued the government for torture and murder. The charges were very strange.

, crimes against humanity, I couldn’t find such a strange crime even after searching through the laws of the Tang Dynasty.

Lin Kui gritted his teeth and said to Yun Ye: "Marquis Yun, our Tang Dynasty has never had this crime against humanity since the promulgation of the "Wude Code" in the seventh year of Wude. As an official close to the people, the lower official has also dabbled in the laws of the past dynasties.

I have never heard of this law, and I hope Marquis Yun can explain it to me."

"Laws since ancient times have been formulated to correct the behavioral norms of the people of the world. The laws of punishment are used to tell us what things can be done and what things cannot be done. Since the Qin Dynasty, the way of benevolence and forgiveness has been implemented.

Harsh punishments are becoming less and less. The cruel corporal punishments in history are now only whips and boards in our Tang Dynasty. The dismemberment of the body by five horses has disappeared, the castration has disappeared, the punishment of gouging out the eyes and tongue has disappeared, and even the most evil ones have disappeared.

Conspiracy was nothing more than beheading of the main culprit, while his father and nephew were sentenced to a reduced sentence of one degree and hanged, leaving their whole bodies intact.

It can be seen that the purpose of the imperial court in establishing the law was to educate the people not to break the law, to teach people not to break the law, to teach and save people, and not to force a good person to be exiled or beheaded.

I like to make things bloody. Just last year, even in the year of great disaster, weren't there only twenty-seven criminals who were beheaded in our Tang Dynasty?

What? This is a sign that the prosperous times are coming. Our court defeated the Turks at the border and captured Jieli alive. All the people-friendly officials in the court played an important role. On the one hand, they must supply food and ammunition for the army ahead, and on the other hand, they must provide food and ammunition for the army ahead.

Provide food to the people who suffered the disaster to prevent them from dying of cold and hunger.

Now that spring has arrived, our Tang Dynasty is about to usher in a new year. We are all gearing up to prepare for the coming prosperous age and work hard so that all of us can have a good life. We have a wise monarch and a brave king.

Soldiers, wise officials, and hardworking people, why can't we have a good life?"

People in the Tang Dynasty had never heard the speech. Although Yun Ye himself was disgusted by his words, the officials behind the desk and the people at the yamen gate heard the declaration about the coming of the prosperous age for the first time.

Hong Cheng, who was dozing off somewhere, also widened his eyes, as if he was meeting Yun Ye for the first time.

As soon as Yun Ye stopped speaking, the people cheered loudly. They were the main subjects today. Yun Ye turned around and faced the crowds of people and shouted at the top of his lungs: "In this good day of spring and Jingming, there are always some

An unknown disgusting thing happened. It was the Dou family who lived in Xinghuafang, the heir of poetry and rituals. In order to vent their anger, they made a fifteen-year-old woman alive into human wax.

From birth to adulthood, a person has to go through many hardships, and parents need to put in a lot of effort. We all cherish the deepest love and imagine that when our children grow up, men can honor their ancestors, and women can marry into a good family, and be happy.

In life, who would want their children to become candles? Tell me, who would want their children to become candles? There are very few people in the Tang Dynasty, and there are only a few million people in the territory of Nuo Da. Your Majesty will sincerely sacrifice to heaven every time.

I pray that people in the world will have prosperous children and livestock, but what are your Dou family doing? You are scorning human lives!

Dou family, you are so unbearable. When we see an injured puppy, we feel so compassionate. Why do you ignore the pleading of that poor woman and ignore her crying for mercy? Why do you have the heart to pour hot wax oil into that poor dog?

In a woman’s belly? Where is the law of heaven, and where is the heart of your Dou family? A family of all generations, a family of poems and rituals, bah!"

As Yun Ye spat out his mouth, the angry Chang'an people spat in the direction of Xinghuafang.
