Half an hour later, in the house of a farmer with jujube trees in Libei.
Heifu counted a few women sitting together and asked Li Zhengdao, who was tied to a pillar by Wu Hua Da, "In Feng Li Zheng, in Blind Mountain, are these four the only women who were robbed and sold by human traffickers?"
Feng's hair and beard were still stained with solidified chicken blood, and he was very embarrassed. He turned his head away angrily, unwilling to answer.
Tian Dian, who was still a little timid at the side, quickly responded: "Pavilion Chief, there are still a few people, but they have been bought for a long time and they no longer want to go home..."
Heifu nodded. This is human nature. Over time, the desire to leave has weakened. That is, Ju's daughter "Yuan Yuan" and Ji Ying found that the woman who was locked up in a pig pen and abused was the most interesting.
He resisted and tried to escape again and again.
It turned out that Heifu and Dongmenbao had just restrained Li Zheng and Tian Dian, and immediately took them as hostages, forcing the residents who came after hearing the news to get out of the way, until they reached the place where the whistle sounded in Libei.
Li Xian, Ji Ying and Ju, together with a rescued woman, were being besieged by three men from the farmer's family and their neighbors. Dongmen Leopard roared again and drove them away. Huyang Pavilion
All the talents can come together.
Heifu had people close the courtyard door and used this farmer's house as a temporary base. He also used Li Zheng and Tian Dian as threats to ask the residents outside to quickly bring in the other women who had been robbed and sold!
Everyone in Blind Mountain was basically the descendant of a Pu tribe in the past. Li Zheng and Tian Dian were both officials and clan leaders. Li Zheng refused to cooperate. Fortunately, Tian Dian did as Hei Fu said. After a while, two more people
A woman was sent over.
At that time, Heifu planned to take his people and leave Blind Mountain as quickly as possible, but he was blocked back by the inner wall.
In order to unite the people and rescue the people who were robbed and trafficked, they were still a step too late. The third person in the prison gate had already heard the news and came to organize the people inside to surround them.
Under the organization of the inner prison gate, the originally scattered inner residents outside began to gather more and more, each holding farm tools, and surrounded the farmhouse. They neither dared to rush in, but refused to give up the road, so both sides
It's such a stalemate.
Heifu asked Dongmen Bao and Li Xian to hold spears and crossbows outside, while he and Ji Ying were inside, asking about the experiences of the four women. Now that they can't get out for the time being, they can only grasp the basic situation.
, Only by understanding the criminal situation of the officials and people in Blind Mountain can he make the next plan.
So, starting with Ju's daughter Yuan Yuan, the four women who were kidnapped and sold into the blind mountain began to make tearful accusations...
…
Yuan Yuan is only 16 years old, but because of the pain she has experienced in the past two years, she is a bit haggard and does not look like a young girl.
She said that in March two years ago, when she went to pick mulberries, she was greeted by an old woman passing by. The old woman was in her fifties and had a kind face. She also chatted with her and kept praising Yuan Yuan.
Beautiful. Then she said that her relatives were waiting for her behind Sang Lin. She couldn't walk. Could she ask Yuan Yuan to help her there?
Yuanyuan had no doubt that he was there, but what was waiting for her behind Sang Lin was two big men over seven feet tall. They put sacks on her head, strangled her and threw her into the car...
In the days that followed, she was half-conscious, her mouth was gagged, and she was not allowed to eat to prevent her from escaping. She was sent to the blind mountain with a bumpy ride. When her hood was taken off, she was already sitting at Zheng Zheng's house.
, Li Zheng said that she had been sold as a concubine, and from now on, she would be the wife of Li Zheng's stupid brother...
Life in the Li Zheng family was not too bad to be honest, but Yuan Yuan always remembered her parents, and
I couldn't bear to serve that stupid "husband", so I tried to escape many times in the past two years, but I was caught every time by Rimasa and his men.
As Yuanyuan spoke, she looked at Li Zheng with gritted teeth. Because Li Zheng's stupid brother didn't know anything about men and women, that night, Li Zheng actually demonstrated in person, teaching him step by step how to have sex with Yuan Yuan, and then violated him several times.
she.
She had been doted on by her parents since she was a child, but she had never suffered such humiliation. She once tried to hang herself to death, but was saved again. For two years, life was worse than death...
Having said this, she threw herself into her father's arms again and burst into tears. This sixteen-year-old girl had already experienced the greatest pain in the world.
However, her experience is nothing compared to the woman called "Ling" who was locked up in the pig pen...
Ying was a little mentally disturbed after being locked up for a long time. The dirt on her body had been cleaned by others, and Heifu even gave her his own clothes to cover her body. But no matter what she asked Ying, she would just giggle and repeat, "I
They were robbed and sold, "Help me", "Spare my life" and the like.
Therefore, Heifu and others could only learn about her from the other three women's onlookers' accounts.
Yuanyuan said: "She was robbed and sold three years ago. She was sold to the three brothers in Libei for more than a thousand yuan, and she was made their wife at the same time..."
Polyandry, this appalling custom that disregards human ethics, is not an uncommon practice in Blind Mountain. Another woman also cried and said that she was the wife of two fathers and sons at the same time...
Ying was the one who resisted the most fiercely among the women who were kidnapped and sold. After all, serving three brothers at the same time was unacceptable to most people. But like Yuan Yuan, every time she escaped ended in failure, and that
The three brothers were very cruel. Every time they caught her, they would beat her severely and lock her in a dark room and starve her for several days. That's when Ji Ying accidentally bumped into her.
In the end, he simply closed the pig pen, and from then on, Ying began to become crazy.
After these women finished speaking, Ji Ying was so angry that he kicked Li Zheng several times before Hei Fu could take action. He had several sisters in his family who were about the same age as Yuan and Yuan Yuan, so it was inevitable that they would be angry.
"Whose sister is not a sister, and whose daughter is not a daughter, you are really capable of doing this! As a local official, you don't care about such a tragic incident, and you take the lead in buying it! What a beast! I, Ji Ying, am not a good person either.
, but can’t do such a thing!”
Na Zheng turned his head and said with a sneer: "What else? There are many men in Blind Mountain, and it is far away from other places. Women from other places are not willing to marry here, and there are not enough women in this place, so we can only buy them from outside.
, what else can be done!”
This is the reason why people from top to bottom in Blind Mountain are so keen on buying robbed and sold women. The original good people turned into evil people just because of the instinct of procreation.
Of course, the slave trade was legal these days, and they could also buy concubines, but an adult concubine cost more than four thousand dollars. Blind Mountain was so poor that several families couldn't raise so much money. At this time, human traffickers came to the door.
The women they provide are not only young, but also cost only one to two thousand dollars each!
Li Zheng was speaking plausibly and seemed to be reasonable, but Yuan Yuan went over angrily and slapped him in the face, cursing: "Don't make excuses here. I heard the old man Li Zhong said that it was not because a baby girl was born in Blind Mountain."
He just likes to drown! You deserve to be in the situation you are in today. I curse your entire clan to be exterminated! Bah!"
She spat on her face, and then Hei Fu asked Ju to pull her back.
In this way, things in Blind Mountain became clear. Although the people here did not directly participate in the robbery and trafficking, they knew that there was something wrong with the women, but they still purchased them from traffickers many times. This has been going on for more than ten years, and there have been ten women in succession.
Several women were sold here by the same group of people.
But except for the four people in front of me, most of the others accepted their fate, or felt that marrying was not a marriage. Now that they had the hope of being rescued, they silently chose to give up.
Or maybe it's because they gave birth to children here and couldn't let go.
At this time, Na Tiandian was already asking Heifu, what crime would he be punished for since he had never purchased the victims?
"Regardless of whether you are involved or not, as long as you know and fail to report it, you will be punished! Being a city official is a sure thing, but as a local official, you will be guilty of an extra level and will be punished with a tattoo!"
Li Zheng, with red eyes, stated the crime, and then sneered: "As for those of us who knew these women were not legitimate but still bought them, we are guilty of the same crime as those who plunder and sell people, and are subject to death!"
"It seems you still know?"
Heifu sneered, it seems that this is exactly what he asked someone to know about.
Indeed, in Qin's laws, human trafficking is the same crime as rape and rape, and both are punished by being beaten, quartered and abandoned in the market!
As long as it is a buyer who has prior knowledge, he is also guilty of the same crime. A buyer who does not know in advance will be tattooed as a Chengdan pound, and others who help conceal it will have their toes chopped off as a Chengdan pound...
In the Qin State, the punishment was so severe and the crime was so serious! It is different from later generations’ “Those who buy abducted women or children shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention or surveillance”, and “If there is no abuse of the children being bought, no
Those who hinder their rescue may not be held criminally responsible." The gentle regulations are totally different!
Although this kind of severe punishment for trafficking makes Heifu feel relieved, it also has a problem, that is, if the offender knows that he will die, he will fight tooth and nail...
"It's a bit difficult for us to get out of the blind mountain safely today..."
Heifu opened the window. Outside the fence of this farmer's house, it was completely surrounded. More than 200 people in the house, regardless of gender, old or young, were almost all gathered here. They were holding farm tools, and their faces were dark and equally dark.
His eyes were full of evil.
More than two thousand years of history have gone in a circle, and there will always be a sudden intersection at a certain moment or event. This scene seems familiar...
