Chapter 124 Future Livelihood
Liu Xianfu lowered his head and did not say a word.
Ye Fu looked at him for a moment, but he didn't say anything more provocative things like 'deliberately not replying', but nodded and said, "Okay!" OK! If you have nothing to justify, then I will pronounce a sentence! ”
Liu Xianfu suddenly shouted: "Damn it! Little damn it! I beg you to spare your life! I beg you to spare your life! ”
Ye Fu snorted and said, "Since you know that you deserve to die, don't say such boring words." As the saying goes, killing pays for life, and paying off debts is justified. Although you didn't kill anyone, you almost forced your father-in-law to death, which is considered an attempted murder. Although you don't owe money, but your father-in-law worked hard to raise his daughter and marry her to you, so that you can give her happiness, not let her be a cow and a horse for you, you owe a favor, which is more serious than owing money! What's more, son-in-law, that's half a son! Half a son! If you don't honor your father-in-law, you don't honor your parents! In my Daming, this is the most important sin! ”
Ye Fu said, slapped the table suddenly, and said: "Even eight or nine-year-old children know to be loyal, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, you guy, for the rich and unkind, for the son is not filial, you are still a human being?" Still worthy of being a father? Come! Drag me out! Ten days in the flail! ”
The so-called 'flail', according to historical legend, is probably a torture instrument created by the Wanli Emperor. This kind of flail is long in the front and short in the back, and the long end touches the ground, and the prisoner is shackled by the neck, and the body can only stand there to support, and it is impossible to kneel and sit. In the long run, he will inevitably be exhausted and suffocated to death.
When Liu Xianfu heard this, his face immediately turned like earth, and he couldn't say a word.
Not only him, but even the people who were listening outside were so frightened that they screamed in fright.
Ye Fu didn't care at all, he made up his mind to kill people today! Moreover, this person named Liu Xianfu can't die happily! Otherwise, how can you deter Xiaoxiao?
Ten days of flail, don't give a mouthful of food, don't give a mouthful of water, even an iron man can boil into molten iron, not die, that is absolutely impossible! It is conceivable that this person is not only certain to die, but also has to expose his body to the public!
The soldiers only listened to Ye Fu's orders, and after hearing him say so, they immediately agreed and dragged Liu Xianfu out.
Liu Xianfu kept howling, leaving a deep and shallow mottled bloodstain along the way, Ye Fu was unmoved, just watched him being dragged out of the lobby.
Then, he turned his gaze to Liu Cuishi.
"Liu Cuishi, are you guilty?" Ye Fu asked.
Liu Cuishi was conscious, she bowed her head and said, "Yes, the people's daughter is guilty!" ”
"Well, since you know the crime, then of course you should know that if you do something wrong, you should be punished!" Ye Fu said, "As a daughter, you don't honor your father, but instead watch your father being oppressed by her husband, which is really unfilial!" By the law, it's a mortal sin, you know? ”
"The folk girl knows!" Liu Cuishi still lowered his head, his voice trembled slightly, but he answered very quickly.
Cui Yi's face immediately changed.
But thinking of Ye Fu's appointment with him in the three chapters beforehand, he could only hold back and not say anything.
However, the young man Liu Chuang, seeing that his mother was going to be punished, was naturally unwilling. He knelt down and said to Ye Fu: "My lord, the ancients, the father's debts are repaid." The student thought that the mother's debt could also be repaid by the son! The mother is only a weak woman, she has no status in the family, and everything she does is forced to do it, although it should be punished, but it is not unforgivable. If the adult insists on being punished, please allow the student's surrogate mother to suffer! ”
"Oh? Would you like to be a surrogate mother? Ye Fu asked.
Liu Chuang nodded very firmly and said, "Yes!" Students are willing to receive it as a substitute for their mothers, and adults are invited to fulfill it. ”
"No way!" Liu Cuishi hurriedly shook his head, "My lord! Chuang Er is still young! Ask the adults to punish the people's daughters! Spare it! ”
Ye Fu listened, looked at Liu Cui's family, and then looked at Liu Chuang. Suddenly laughed, "Okay! Finally, there are still people with a human touch! Well, just because of your mother-son affection, I should also be light. Liu Cui's! ”
Liu Cuishi immediately responded: "Yes, the folk girl is here." ”
Ye Fu instructed: "You are the daughter of Cui Yi, you should have honored your father, but you were forced by your husband and lost the virtue of a son." According to the law, unfilial piety is a capital crime. But I see that Cui Yi is old and has just lost his son, if he loses his daughter again, I am afraid he will not be able to live. In addition, you have raised your son well. In this case, you will be punished to work in a nursing home! Serve my father day and night! Cui Yi is satisfied, so you can eat in one bite. If Cui Yi is not satisfied, then when the time comes, no one will be able to save you anymore! Are you convinced by such a judgment? ”
said that it was a punishment, but in fact, how could Liu Cui's weak woman support herself? Letting her work in a nursing home is also a way out for her in the future. At the same time, with her kind and weak nature, taking care of her father for the rest of her life must also be handy.
Ye Fu's move solved Cui Yi's pension, and at the same time, it also solved the problem of Liu Cui's livelihood in the future.
Cui Yi knelt on the ground and shouted 'Qingtian' to Ye Fu. And many people who were hearing the trial outside the hall couldn't help but comment, saying that this general was really good, not only did he fight a great battle, which made the Tartars frightened, but also he was extremely reasonable. will not tolerate wicked people such as Liu Xianfu, and will take great care of poor people like Cui Yi and Liu Cui.
After settling the father and daughter, Ye Fu's eyes turned to Liu Chuang again, and asked him, "You said before that you were a child, where are you studying?" ”
"Back to my lord! Students are self-taught! Liu Chuang replied.
This made Ye Fu very surprised, a young child, actually self-taught? He shook his head and said, "Your father doesn't even want to spend money on studying?" ”
Liu Chuang stared at Ye Fu, Ye Fu nodded, and he also felt that he had asked a stupid question. With his father's temperament of valuing money as his life, how can he be willing to pay for education?
He thought for a while and said: "I have always attached importance to education and respected scholars, and all prefectures, prefectures, and counties have established social studies to open up people's wisdom and teach Mengtong. But now it seems that it is a waste of time, and in Liaodong, no one pays attention to it. Since I have encountered this incident today, I will set a rule! From now on, prepare for the establishment of the Chongwen Society, this matter, by ~~ Geng Rongxiang, by your political department to supervise, select and send a teacher. It must be achieved that within two years, all children under the jurisdiction of the mountain must be enrolled in school at the age of eight, and they will be allowed to graduate at the end of two years. ”
Geng Rongxiang immediately agreed: "Yes, obey the order." ”
Ye Fu continued: "I know that there are many of you outside the people who don't think so. Thinking that his children were born poor, they should not study, but should farm and apprentice early. This is a big fallacy! To put it mildly, if you don't study, you don't know how to be polite! To put it mildly, for poor families, reading is the only way for children to change their poor lives! You've planted all your life, and your father and grandfather have planted all your life. After suffering for several lifetimes, don't you want your children to change their fate because of studying? I still know! You are worried, wasted time, and even more worried, tuition fees are expensive. I'm telling you, it's not a problem! ”
