Wu Huaiyu wanted to kill Zhao San as easily as crushing an ant.
Honghu does not associate with sparrows, and usually Zhao San is not worthy of Huaiyu taking action against a market scoundrel like him, but today since he is on such a Lantern Festival, in front of the colorful building at the gate of the Wu family, he is in charge of many neighbors and even other people in Chang'an.
In front of the soldiers and people in the square, he openly insulted the Wu family.
Especially this is someone who has received a lot of help and kindness from the Wu family.
Then Wu Huaiyu must take action.
Now that you've taken action, get it right once and for all.
Huaiyu directly asked people to invite the bad guys from Wannian County to pick him up.
Zhao San scolds officials, fails to pay debts, and steals. If you add up these things, you can give him a hundred or two hundred slaps first, and then serve him for another two or three years.
Although the punishment for beating someone with a board may not seem severe, sometimes it can kill someone.
If in ordinary times you give some money and some support to the interrogator in charge of execution in the yamen, then if you have no grudges or grudges, the interrogator will be merciful and give you a spanking, but it won't hurt your muscles or bones. But
If someone wants to make someone suffer, it is normal to spend money to deal with it and beat you to a disability.
If you want to kill you, even a god can't save you.
The evil nature of human nature has always been like this. There are too many white-eyed wolves like Zhao San. Since things have gotten out of hand today, if we don't deal with it severely, the majesty of this upstart of the Wu family will no longer exist in the future.
Fear of power and virtue.
You can't just be a good person. It's necessary to give money and food, but when it's time to show your fangs, you still have to show them, and you should even see blood occasionally.
There are already delinquents from Wannian County who maintain order during the Shangyuan Festival.
After receiving the notice from the servant of Shouyang Houfu, he came over immediately, and soon the bad commander came in person.
Iron ruler and chain, just pick up Zhao Sanxian.
The six county captains of Wannian County, the one in charge of public security, also arrived quickly and briefly reviewed the entire matter directly in front of many onlookers.
The facts are clear and the evidence is sufficient.
There are people and stolen goods, and there are many witnesses.
The Wu family also showed the Zhao family's IOU, fingerprints, etc.
"First give him eighty sticks, and then take him back to the county jail!" The county lieutenant was very polite to Huaiyu. As one of the six county lieutenants in Wannian County who was only in charge of public security, he had a low rank and little power, so he drove him there personally.
I came here because I was afraid that I might accidentally provoke this upstart from the Wu family.
Seeing that things were simple now, he deliberately took the opportunity to build some relations with the Wu family.
The onlookers cheered.
They all said that this bitch should be beaten to death.
It really should be fought.
Huaiyu looked at Zhao Zhang who was still crying. He felt that the three Zhao people deserved to die, but she was indeed pitiful. He pulled the Wen county captain and said, "This woman is the wife of the scoundrel Zhang San. Zhang San owes
I had a lot of gambling debts, and yesterday a creditor forced me to pawn my wife off to that scoundrel for three years."
Wen County Lieutenant looked at the woman, she looked haggard and thin, she was really pitiful.
He understood the answer and said, "Zhang San's behavior belongs to marrying and selling his wife, which is a bad custom prohibited by the imperial court. His contract is invalid."
Pawning a wife is actually a rented wife, which is somewhat different from direct marriage, but it is also an illegal act. However, for this kind of thing, people are really unable to do it, and the government generally does not take action, as long as both parties are willing
Just turn a blind eye and ignore it.
If the government wants to investigate, it will be illegal and invalid.
The two chatted for a few words.
Wenxian Wei said that his ancestral home was also Hedong, and Sanwen from Hedong was his uncle.
Hedong Sanwen, Wen Dalin Wen Yanbo inspected the school and was the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Yongzhou was in charge, and was granted the title of Duke of Xihe County. Wen Daya and Wen Yanhong were the Minister of Rites and Duke of Li.
In the second year of Wen Dayou's martial virtues, he was awarded the title of Minister of Zhongshu and the title of Duke of Qinghe County. It was a pity that he died young, otherwise he would have become the prime minister long ago among the three heroes of the Wen family.
Upon hearing that this was the Wen family, Wu Huaiyu immediately became polite.
Although Wen Dalin and Wen Yanbo were defeated in Hedong the year before last and were taken captive by the Turks to Mobei to herd sheep for a year, he was brought back after the Weiqiao Alliance. Moreover, this former Youzhou Sima of Li Yi, and later Li Yuan's confidant, now has to
Li Shimin appreciated and trusted him. Although Wen Daya was also Li Yuan's military secretary in his early years, he later became Li Shimin's Minister of Industry in Daxingtai, Shaanxi Province, and became Li Shimin's confidant Yuan Cong.
As soon as the new emperor ascended the throne, he appointed Wen Daya as Duke of Li, and now he is also the Minister of Rites.
The name of Wen County Lieutenant is Wen Fu. He said that his uncle Wen Daya also started his career as a scholar of Donggong and Wannian County Lieutenant in the early Sui Dynasty. It was revealed in his words that he was very close to the Wen family brothers and was the key supporter of the Wen family.
young sons.
"This rogue probably won't be able to withstand these dozens of sticks." Wen Fu said casually.
However, Huaiyu understood that he was asking what he meant, and Yinhui said that he could kill him directly with a stick. This was also to help the Wu family establish its prestige.
Huaiyu thought for a while and said, "This scoundrel has been drained of his body by drinking and debauchery. I would like to ask Wen County Lieutenant to ask the man holding the stick to be gentler and don't beat the person to death directly. Don't be unlucky on this wonderful day of the Yuan Dynasty."
Wen Fu said immediately, "What Marquis Wu said is that there is no way such bugs should be allowed to dirty the entrance of the Wu family." He stretched out his hand to summon an entourage and whispered a few words.
The attendant immediately went over and gestured calmly to the questioner who was about to carry out the execution with the stick, so the two questioners immediately understood the meaning.
This means that he must be maimed and injured, but he cannot be killed directly. It must not be too serious, but it can delay death for at least seven days.
This is because I don’t want him to live, and I don’t want him to die now.
This is a technical job, but the interrogators are those who specialize in executions in the yamen. Like the executioners, they have ancestral skills. Relying on the skills of ancestors, they are an iron rice bowl in the yamen, and they can live a very comfortable life.
.
Each stroke of the stick brought loud cheers from the onlookers.
Zhao San was still begging for mercy at first, but soon he was dying and could not scream, and his back was stained with blood from the beating.
After the beating was over, the executioner poured a basin of ice water on him. It was the first month of the year, so Zhao San woke up immediately and started screaming.
"Stop howling," Wenshi was very satisfied with his handiwork. Several delinquents came up and took Zhao San into a carriage and took him directly to Wannian County Prison.
As expected, Zhao San will not come back, and he does not even need to serve a sentence of hard labor. He will die in prison in seven days. As for the cause of death, he may have contracted tuberculosis, or died of internal injuries, or it may have been
Wound infection is possible.
At that time, no one will pay special attention to such a scumbag. With a stroke of the jailer's pen, this sinful life will end. Then if someone comes to claim it, the body will be taken home and buried. If no one comes to claim it, then it will be thrown into a mass grave.
Mrs. Zhao Zhang was also completely desperate for her husband. Although she had been heartbroken again and again before, for the sake of her children, she still tried hard to endure and maintain. But she did not expect that her tolerance would be exchanged for
What happened was that her husband wanted to rent her to someone else for three years to pay off a gambling debt.
heartbroken,
The tears have dried.
Mrs. Zhao Zhang did not raise her head to look at that bastard again. She held on to a pair of young children with both hands. Ten years of hard work had resulted in such desolation.
My husband was dragged away half-dead. Even if he survived, he would not be able to come back for a few years.
This actually made her feel more relaxed,
What about later?
The countless bad debts owed by her husband have already reduced the family to ruins. How can she, a weak woman, maintain herself and support her children?
If she didn't have these two young children, she would even want to die directly.
Although the eldest son, who was only nine years old, was particularly gracious to the Wu family and accepted him as an apprentice as an exception, there was also a girl who was only seven years old.
Wu Huaiyu stood up and walked in front of Zhao Zhang in front of the neighbors, "What are you going to do in the future?"
When Zhao Zhang saw Huaiyu, she seemed to have seen a savior. She took her daughter and knelt down directly, "I beg Wuhou to kindly take in Erya. Although she is still young, she can also serve tea and water. I just hope that she can have a good life."
A place to stay, as long as you have a stutter."
"And you?"
Mrs. Zhao Zhang was confused, her eyes revealed despair and were extremely gloomy. She had already thought about it and made arrangements for her daughter. She would go home and hang herself later.
Huaiyu could feel the frustration and despair.
After all, I can't bear to see the suffering and hardship in this world, even though I was just heartbroken by Zhao San's white-eyed wolf.
"If you are willing, come and help in the Wu family's kitchen. We will provide food, clothing and accommodation for you two, and we will give you six hundred wages per month."
At twenty cents a day, in today's Chang'an, only young and strong men can earn. Only skilled craftsmen can earn more.
A woman can have six hundred monthly money, which is a huge favor, not to mention allowing him to take a little girl with her, who is so small that she can't do much work.
Not to mention that this job is still in the kitchen. Working in the kitchen has some benefits. At least you can get some leftovers from noble families. This is a benefit that other servants do not have.
Zhao Zhang was surprised.
"Don't want to?"
"Willing, willing..."
There was a glimmer of light again in her dark pupils, and she regained some vitality.
Huaiyu looked at the little girl who was wearing only a thin coat that was heavily patched in the cold weather. "Don't go home for a while. Let Jianyi arrange a place for you in the mansion. We can go back tomorrow."
Clean it up."
Mrs. Zhao Zhang knelt down again in front of Huaiyu and burst into tears with excitement.
This scene also greatly moved the people watching around. Marquis Wu was very kind, and even though Zhao San looked down upon him, he only allowed him to be beaten once, and specifically told him not to hit him too hard.
Here they also arranged a way for Zhao San's wife and daughter to survive, and the conditions were so good.
The Wu family is really a good family.
Nobility is indeed both noble and noble.
Under the splendid colorful lanterns, the atmosphere in front of the Wu family was lively, and the reputation of the Wu family was rising rapidly.
Wu Huaiyu also took the opportunity to make a guest appearance as host, transforming into a riddleman and asking questions on the spot. Anyone who can answer his riddles correctly will be given a lantern, a small gift, a few copper coins, or a peace charm.
Rune bunting, etc.,
This made the atmosphere at the scene even more lively.
In the blink of an eye, everyone forgot about the rogue Zhao San, and no longer even paid attention to the poor and lucky mother and daughter who were brought into the house.
Joyful and peaceful.
The Wu family of the Shouyang Marquis Mansion also became more and more powerful.
