He said it as if it were a serious matter.

"When I wake up, I'll weigh these words, who could this girl be? Later, I thought of Liu Yilan, when Dongcheng was occupied by the Japanese invaders, wasn't she the one who resolved it? I originally wanted to come to the ancestral hall to ask and confirm if it was, but the ancestral hall caught fire. If you want to get her, the ancestral hall will be on fire, and I think it proves that she is the immortal that the ancestors said. ”

"This—" The old man hesitated, thinking about the meaning of his words.

"I know that you have always rewarded and punished clearly, and you will not tolerate these immoral things, otherwise you would not have watched your daughter burned to death. After all these years of living in pain, do you still want things to happen again? There are some things that can be flexible, and you don't necessarily have to make a fuss to stop it. Your daughter had to die because her father wouldn't admit it. The child in Liu Yilan's belly is Cheng Shiling's, a descendant of my Cheng family, as long as I marry her into the door, the matter can be resolved. Cheng Lao, it's time for this farce to end. ”

After Cheng Donglin finished speaking, leaving the old man alone to weigh up, it could be seen from his flickering eyes that he hesitated.

More than ten years ago, because of his identity, in order not to let everyone think that he was favoritism, he saw his daughter burned alive. He is not convinced, he has been unconvinced for so many years, what can he do, he is the elder of the ancestral hall, and he does things under everyone's gaze, and he can't be ashamed of his fellow villagers.

This kind of inhumane punishment, he has long wanted to abolish it, and he is worried that abolishing these will cause Dongcheng to fall into chaos, if there is no penal oppression, everyone thinks it is nothing, and when such incidents happen one after another, won't it be chaotic?

In order to maintain the peace and security of Dongcheng, he had to suppress this thought. The general is right, this farce, it's time to put an end to it! He frowned, looked up at the busy crowd and shouted, "Stop and listen to me." ”

Everyone stopped and listened to the old man.

"I would like to announce one thing, in the future, unmarried pregnancies will be abolished, and the punishment of burning to death in the pig cage will be abolished!"

For a while, the ancestral hall exploded.

"Elder Cheng, you're right, right?"

Some people even think that he is old and confused, so he says such rebellious words.

He paused, decades of elders are not in vain, and one look can control the whole audience lightly.

"The death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped! I will not tolerate a similar situation again! If the child's father refuses to admit it, the woman's evil deeds will be posted on the streets, accept everyone's strange eyes, and knock out the wild seeds in her arms that no one admits! Men also have to be punished, they can't help but hurt others, and they don't have a sense of responsibility, such a man is not worthy of being a man, and he must be castrated according to the laws of the Qing Dynasty! ”

These reform opinions have been expressed, and there are different opinions. Of course men don't agree, no matter how strict the situation is, men are not controlled by the law, and now it is unacceptable to come out of this box to control them.

The women agreed in unison. In the past, when something happened, whether it was right or wrong, they were punished, and the men were completely fine, this was the first time that they women felt their human rights!

In fact, only Cheng Lao himself knows in his heart how much affection is contained in these awards. Wasn't his daughter abandoned by that shameless man, so she was unwilling to die?
