Chapter 38: A Strange Case
After Huang Su'e returned to the court, her expression was dull and expressionless, she walked straight to the defendant's stone, and knelt back with a plop, her head still low, and others could not see the expression on her face.
The county magistrate was embarrassed, sighed several times, shook his head and said: "The official has arrived, no, since he became an official, all kinds of difficult cases have emerged in endlessly, but this case makes the official have a sense of nowhere to exert his strength, Huang Su'e, you are a woman, and the major events in life are not up to you, but it is impossible for you to marry a daughter and three husbands, this matter is contrary to the guidelines, the official continues to file today, and only punishes you with a cane for thirty sentences, in order to respect and follow suit, otherwise I will Xinghua The people are simple, and the people will pass it out, and everyone will follow suit, how can I establish a positive wind to pass on to future generations!" Sinner girl Huang Su'e, you have something to say! ”
Huang Wang's side was in a cold sweat, this matter is not about her daughter's Huang Su'e, it is all a contradiction caused by her single-handedly, the county magistrate scolded fiercely, and she was even more ashamed in her ears when she heard it. Thirty canes are not a joke, and the man who is beaten on his body can't support it, so this board is to be eaten by himself, how did he become his own daughter..?
Daughter, you will bear the thirty canes for your mother...
Huang Su'e's eyebrows and eyes drooped, and tears fell down in a daze, wetting the green bricks on the ground. She quietly bent down and kowtowed a few times, got up and said that the people were guilty. The voice was as thin as a mosquito's chirping, but it was full of helplessness.
The county magistrate picked up a red pen and drew a lot, and threw it to the ground. The two officials carried a bench out, and Huang Su'e lay down on her stomach, and there was a rope on the bench to fix her body, and her hands and feet were tied to prevent pain and let the prisoner break free. After the rope was tied, the two officials began to execute the cane with water and fire sticks!
The thick water and fire with the thick forearms may feel like playing on the ass in the TV series, that is, the teacher beats the child's buttocks, but in ancient times, if you were really punished with a cane of thirty, it might really kill you!
In ancient times, medical treatment and technology were quite backward, and once an ordinary injury was infected by bacteria, it could be a fatal serious illness. Cane punishment is not a simple spanking, and an adult strong man wields a big stick to beat your ass, the first stick can make the blood vessels on your butt burst, the second stick is to tear the flesh directly, and the blood is sprayed out directly, and the third stick is to beat the meat sauce of the peeing cowballs, and the meat that you tear apart is minced meat, and the next thing is to repeat the action, and beat a piece of meat into meat sauce!
After beating this kind of stick, it is generally pulled home, sprinkled with a little medicine for external injuries, in ancient times, there were no so-called surgical procedures to help you stitch, let alone sterilize, all you can do is wait for death! If you have money, you can also invite some divine doctors to treat it, and the doctors who know how to scrape off the carrion and rescue it to prevent the wound from rotting and infecting, and the ordinary people, especially these prisoners, are thrown back to the prison directly after the beating, and the wound is infected and inflamed and pus, and the rest is to see when the Lord of Yama wakes up from a nap and sends black and white impermanence to come and take his life away.
Liang Chuan remembered that the famous Jinyiwei in history turned this kung fu of beating people into an art. There are two realms of beating, one is that it means a little bit, that is, there is no force on the stick, but the stick is in contact, and the visual effect of sweating is also played, so that people know that you are really beating and not acting, although the blood is dripping and the flesh is blurred after the torturer is beaten, but after beating the injured person, he can still go for a long-distance run, and there is nothing to do with him. The other is to hit it for real! This style of play is to fight to the death, both for you to be unable to see and for your life.
Legend has it that these brocade guards used sticks and stones to hit everything else they could from the beginning, and they were tempered thousands of times, and what level of skill did they have to hit to be regarded as a slight success in kung fu. Place a piece of paper on a brick, and a stick will be broken but the paper on it cannot be broken, which is considered to be a kung fu practice. What is the concept of changing to a person, this stick goes down, the skin on the buttocks is still intact, but the musculature inside is completely fragmented, looking at the person as if he was not injured, the family members in the current family are also glad that this board is not very heavy, but the family members are generally not very stable after they go back, and they have to prepare for the future.
The ruthless stick of the servant fell directly on Huang Su'e twice, Huang Su'e was wearing an ordinary linen clothes, and the clothes were dyed red by the blood that burst out of the two sticks. Poor this stubborn girl didn't say a word, she carried it hard, and beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down her forehead.
Su Cheng and Feng Yizhi glanced at it, the picture was too bloody, frowned deeply, turned aside, and continued to watch.
However, Huang Yi couldn't stand the stimulation at all, and was about to pounce on him, but was stopped by several officials next to him to prevent him from destroying the cane.
Huang Su'e is delicate and frail, and adult men can't bear it, not to mention that she is a weak woman. After only five or six strokes, Huang Su'e fainted, and her face was pale and bloodless. When the official saw that she had fainted, he put his index finger above her nose and mouth, and probed her with his hand, but there was no pulse. The official was shocked, and immediately reported to the county magistrate: "Lord Yu, Huang Su'e is weak and can't withstand the cane punishment, and has been killed with a cane in the court!" ”
Zhixian sighed again, such a good girl was directly killed. sighed: "You just tested the deceased's snort, but did you really lose your breath?" ”
The official said categorically: "Lord Hui, my subordinates have already tested their snorts just now, and Huang Su'e has undoubtedly died on the spot!" ”
Dead? Huang Wang's howl can be described as a ghost crying god howl, a person's voice can penetrate the entire court, this time I can really hear the grief in her voice, a little sympathetic, a good daughter was beaten to death in the court like this, who is not married to marry, now it's good, it has become a tragedy.
The audience in the hall couldn't stop pity, the attitude of the masses changed from the original disdain and ridicule to admiration, Huang Su'e would rather die than give in to the Ming Zhi! The sound of ridicule and pointing in the public court disappeared completely, and Huang Su'e used her death to save her reputation!
Su Cheng and Feng Yizhi didn't dare to see Huang Su'e being beaten just now, and when they came back to their senses, the official had announced that Huang Su'e had been beaten, and the pity on his face was overflowing, and he stood to the side, for fear that something would have something to do with it.
is a good beautiful girl, but she hasn't been killed, looking at the blurred flesh and blood of that ass, it's also a question of whether she can give birth when she gets it back! Just ask, what's the use of marrying back?
Huang Yi didn't say anything, although he was a dignified man, the tears had already flowed, the man crawled over sluggishly, touched Huang Su'e's face with his hand, hugged him in his arms and cried silently, it was moving to watch, although Huang Wang's biological mother was also crying on the side, but the cry was more like a performance than a true expression!
The mood of the masses is almost in place!
Zhixian coughed and said: "Now that Huang Su'e is dead, Su Cheng, your family has paid a dowry, this Huang Su'e is already half of your Su family, you can take this corpse back!" ”
Su Cheng was shocked: "The magistrate is really good at laughing, my Su family has paid a dowry, but this Huang Su'e has not been through the door after all, how can it be regarded as a member of my Su family, who loves this dead corpse, our Su family will never admit this family business!" ”
Su Cheng has a lot of money, but he fell in love with Huang Su'e's beauty, and now that he is dead, he still pulls Huang Su'e home to do something, does he want him to become a widower directly without asking for a daughter-in-law?
The magistrate glanced at Feng Yizhi again and asked, "Feng Yizhi, since you and Huang Su'e have a marriage contract with each other, do you recognize this family matter?" ”
Feng Yizhi chuckled and said: "Joke, which law of the Great Song Dynasty stipulates that if I have a marriage contract with Huang Su'e, I must recognize her as my Feng family, I am a dignified person, if our marriage contract with Huang Su'e is valid, why didn't the county magistrate directly promise Huang Su'e to me, and I would hurt a life in one more move!" ”
Feng Yizhi secretly scolded you old fox, if you pass the exam next year, Lao Tzu will soar, how can you spoil your identity here.
The magistrate sighed: "The two of you, one is a rich party, and the other is a top three tomorrow, but didn't you just say that you want to marry Huang Su'e as your wife, don't you have no feelings for Huang Su'e?" ”
The two of them just kept silent, and scolded angrily in their hearts, you old guy, have you decided the case like this, beat someone to death, now let's collect her body, damn, don't be too desperate for you to do things.
The county magistrate said again: "Since you two refuse to marry Huang Su'e as a wife, what about the rest of Huang Yi, you?" ”
Everyone looked at Huang Yi, Huang Yi was in pain holding Huang Su'e's body, and everyone felt that as long as people were not crazy, who would marry a dead man.
Huang Yi's tears couldn't stop flowing, his feelings for Huang Su'e were indeed true, and the voice in his mouth was trembling with sadness, and he said: "I am willing to collect Huang Su'e's body as a husband!" ”
Everyone was moved by Huang Yi's words, but they didn't expect that this poor boy among the three people really liked Huang Su'e, and liked it so sincerely, even if he married a dead man, it didn't matter. There was another wind of public opinion in the court, people did not accuse Su Cheng and Feng Yizhi of being insensitive, but quite appreciated Huang Yi's affection and righteousness, and it was a pity that Huang Su'e didn't have the good life to see this scene when he was alive.
The magistrate patted the shocked wood and said officially: "This official is now officially pronounced the verdict, Huang Yi is willing to marry Huang Su'e as his wife, Huang Su'e's daughter marrying three husbands, this is caused by Huang Wang's deceased husband and Huang Wang's confusion, this is not intentionally a daughter Xu Sanjia, Huang Yi and Huang Su'e are sincere, it is really a match made in heaven, and Jin Jian will be punished with a cane." The county ruled that Huang Su'e married Huang Yi, and the case was closed."
Everyone was confused, this person was beaten to death by you, and you have an egg for saying so much high-sounding now.
The county magistrate continued: "The official quickly went to the lady of the back hall to bring the old ginseng soup." ”
The official didn't dare to slack off, ran quickly to the back hall, and carefully brought a bowl of ginseng soup, and the county magistrate directly ordered to feed Huang Su'e, and at the same time teach Huang Yi to push and rub Huang Su'e's back. I saw that when the bowl of ginseng soup was poured into Huang Su'e, Huang Yi pushed and rubbed it, and the person who was already breathless woke up leisurely!
Dead!
Even Huang Yi couldn't believe that there was such a thing, but he really felt Huang Su'e's temperature in his hand, not getting more and more icy, but alive.
The common people all applauded when they saw this magic! They all praised endlessly, shouting loudly that Song Zhixian was like a god in solving the case, and the means were even more clever, such a strange case made Song Zhixian break his tricks!
The county magistrate laughed: "Huang Su'e has just embarrassed you, this breath-holding is good, the official is afraid that you really can't bear this cane punishment!" ”
"Minnu, thank you for the success of Lord Zhixian!"
It turned out that Liang Chuan told the master just now that he only needed to beat Huang Su'e hard, and then let her pretend to be dead, who would know if Huang Su'e was sincere in trying, this county is also an old fritter, as soon as he heard this method, he knew that he would definitely try a hundred things, as long as Huang Su'e cooperated and pretended to be dead, Su Feng and the others had plans, and they would definitely not go to this troubled water for any love, so Huang Yi didn't want to marry this Huang Su'e, and this matter could be over!
The people in the hall applauded again and again, and the county knew the strange case, and this method could also be thought of, everyone's mouth was constantly saying good things about the county, and the case became a sensation and became the talk of Xinghua County after tea and dinner!
Song Xianzhi stroked his beard, quite proud, enjoying the cheers of the people in the hall, reputation is a man's aphrodisiac.
