In the fourth year of Yonghui (653 AD), the first day of the first month.

Wu Kang really couldn't imagine that the New Year would start with a question, which was not a good sign. Zhang Sunzhuang in the south of Wuzhou City, Zhang Er, the second son of Zhang's family, is proficient in ventriloquism, imitating human and animal voices, vivid and vivid. took advantage of Wu Heti in the same village to go out, pretending to be his voice to deceive and rape his wife, and was caught raping and fleeing in a hurry.

Wu Heti is not a thing, he doesn't go to Zhang Er to settle accounts, he sprinkles his anger on his wife, and writes a letter of divorce to divorce his wife. Wu Kang is in line with the principle of demolishing ten temples and not breaking a bigamy, and knows that he is moved by emotion and reason. Helplessly, Wu He didn't get in to lift oil and salt, Wang Ba ate the scales, and divorced his wife with an iron heart.

Wu Kang is helpless, and it is difficult for a clean official to cut off family affairs, so he can't force it. Legally speaking, Wu Zhang is suspected of being a rape and meets the conditions for being suspended. The situation was deadlocked, Wu Heti did not listen to persuasion, ignored his wife's pleading, turned his back and gritted his teeth.

Seeing that Wu Zhang's state was not good, Jiuniang was worried about an accident, so she brought a stool from the carriage and asked the maid to find water nearby, and kept comforting her. Wu Kang's face was expressionless, racking his brains to recall Yonghui Law and find a solution.

Wu Zhang gradually stopped crying, as if accusing and talking to himself, describing the life of the husband and wife. Originally, the family was poor, and there was no meal to eat, but this young woman was also a capable person, with a unique hand embroidery skill, and she made a fortune.

The former mutual affection made Wu Hedi gradually turn his head straight, his facial features were no longer hideous, and he no longer gritted his teeth, but his face was still ugly. Wu Kangjue can continue to rescue, and just wanted to persuade the organization, he received Jiu Niang's strange eyes, and saw her stretch out three fingers.

After a moment of stunnedness, there was a burst of clarity, like an initiation. A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he quietly gave a thumbs up, if it wasn't for the time or occasion, he would have to rush over and kiss a few mouthfuls.

organized the speech, stared at Wu Hedi and said: "Yonghui Law's household marriage, Article 40 says: Although there are seven offenses, three will not go." Those who do not go three times are called: first, through the funeral of the aunt; Second, when you marry, when you are cheap, when you are expensive; Third, there is the so-called no-home. And he that comes out shall have a hundred rods, and shall return them to him. Wu Hedi, listen to the official's explanation. ”

Wu Kang said lightly: "If the wife commits seven crimes, but the experience is to mourn for her in-laws, and keep filial piety; When she married, her husband's family was poor, but later she became rich and prosperous; The mother's family has no relatives, and the wife has nowhere to return. In these three cases, if the wife is forcibly divorced, he will be punished with a hundred rods, and the government will force the husband and wife to reunite. ”

Wu Hedi was dumbfounded, and soon blushed and had a thick neck, he really didn't know that there was such a rule. Wu Kang breathed a long sigh of relief, this law also has the following, "If you commit a bad disease, you don't need this law." That is to say, if the wife has a bad disease, she can not be restricted by the "three nos". I can't help but secretly rejoice, and my heart says that it is fortunate that it is "Yonghui Law", but fortunately, "Tang Law and Discussion" has not yet been promulgated.

At this moment, the eldest grandson Wuji, Chu Suiliang and other bigwigs are annotating "Yonghui Law". In October this year, the "Yonghui Law Note" was promulgated all over the world, that is, the famous "Tang Law Shu Yi". In the discussion, the restriction of "adultery" is increased by the three no-gos, as long as the woman cheats in marriage, even if it meets the three no-gos, she can still divorce her wife.

This is the time difference, and it feels a lot for a while. When I was in school, I had a question, what is the use of studying history, and why is it studying history? At this moment, I really want to answer loudly, learning history is to travel through, and the prophet will decide first to win.

For "when you are cheap and expensive after marrying", you also give a thumbs up, those celebrities and wealthy businessmen, who abandon their wives and look for new love after they are developed, are like carp crossing the river. If it was in the Tang Dynasty, if it was in my hands, I would dare to try a divorce, and a hundred big boards would kill you.

In the middle of the righteous obscenity, he suddenly heard Yao's throat, Wu Heti jumped to his feet, and shouted like a demonic barrier: "What kind of truth is this, not abiding by women's morals is still protected by the king's law?" I don't accept it, I want to sue the Yamen, I want to sue her for adultery! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces changed, Wu Zhang's face turned pale, Jiuniang's willow eyebrows were upside down, Wu Kang's face was black to the bottom of the pot, and he was directly angry and rude: "Bastard thing, are you talking about human words?" Reading in the belly of the dog? Shut up for me! ”

The effect was immediate, Wu Hedi quickly stopped, how could the people dare to fight with the officials? Wu Kang said lightly: "The miscellaneous law of Yonghui Law, Article 22, one and a half years for traitors: one and a half years for all traitors, and two years for those who have a husband." Adulterous men and women, one of whom has a family, is convicted. The adulterer was sentenced to one and a half years in prison, and the woman was a junior and sentenced to one and a half years; A married woman shall be sentenced to two years. ”

Glaring at Wu Hedi, he said, "Imprisonment, that is, the punishment of slavery." Your wife, who lost her freedom within two years, was forced to work in the government during the day, doing the dirtiest and most tiring work, such as washing the toilet and cooking rice, which was miserable. It's nothing, and at night..."

After a moment, he stopped talking, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "At night, I will wear shackles and be put in prison." There is no women's prison in Datang, there are no female jailers, and your wife will be humiliated and reduced to a jailer's plaything. If Wu Zhang deliberately committed adultery, the official would not say anything, but it was an accident! You push her into the fire pit with your own hands, you, brute? ”

Wu Hedi, who was scolded for being bloody, had no blood on his face, his lips trembled, and he suddenly cried. Wu Zhang's couldn't cry, and under Jiu Niang's prow, he cautiously leaned over to comfort him. Wu Hedi did not overreact, and Wu Kang breathed a sigh of relief, this family will not break up.

Xiao San'er and derailment, moral problems in later generations, and crime problems in the Tang Dynasty. Unmarried men and women in the Tang Dynasty could mess around casually, regardless of the law. Once a marriage is established, both men and women have to pay attention, and women obediently teach each other husband and children. Two years in prison is no joke.

For couples who hug their heads and cry, Wu Kang is very patient and gives them time to release their emotions. Jiuniang felt very deeply, walked over with red circles under her eyes, and hugged his arm. After a while, the crying gradually stopped. The two slaves and maids of Cuifu went to the neighborhood to buy water and came back, the male servant carried the bucket, and the female maid took the water scoop and handed out the kind water.

The couple calmed down, Wu Zhang held a water scoop, and Wu Hedi held water to wash his face. After the work was changed, Wu and the water scoop at the end of the embankment waited. After washing up and tidying up each other's appearance, Wu He snatched the letter of resignation, tore it to pieces a few times, threw it on the side of the road, and bowed to Wu Kang: "Wu Gong is the first to drink, and the students are grateful, so this matter is over." ”

Wu Kang bowed slightly, and was about to say something when there was a rumbling sound of horses' hooves behind him. A burst of smoke and dust dissipated, and more than 20 horses galloped, led by the bad handsome Jiang Daniu. It depends, they applied for mounts.

Similar to the arrest of felons, the police apply for a gun, and the bad guards arrest extraordinarily serious criminals, they can apply to the division and the yamen to call the war horses in the stable. In public and private, the soldiers will basically be approved to join the army, after all, he has to take responsibility for the serious offense.

The horse team came to the front, a total of twenty-two people, one of the bodyguards, and the rest were all bad people. They were fully armed, with horizontal swords on their left and iron rulers, ropes around their waists, and strong bows and quivers behind their backs.

Dismounted neatly and saluted, Jiang Daniu stepped forward and said: "Wu Gong Rongyu, because of the requisition of horses by the commander, there are only twenty-one horses left in the stable, and only twenty-one people can be brought here." The rest of the brothers were in the city and were ready to come, as soon as they had horses. ”

Wu Kang was a little confused, just catching a traitor, as for working so hard to mobilize the people, it was like a war. Pouted his lips and motioned for everyone to be exempt, and said with his hands behind his back: "The sudden accident has annoyed the brothers to cancel their vacations, and the official is deeply ashamed. Without saying much politely, he quickly went to Zhang Sunzhuang, arrested Zhang Er, and brought him back to the judicial yamen for trial. ”

The bad guy promised and rode his horse straight to Zhangsunzhuang. When the smoke and dust dissipated, Wu Kang looked at the Wu family and his wife, pondered for a moment and said, "You are back together, the official is very pleased, but this case is not over, Zhang Er must be punished." ”

The Wu couple turned pale and shook their heads in unison, Wu Kang waved his hand to stop it, and comforted: "Don't worry, the Yamen has special regulations for the trial of private cases. First of all, the doors of the hall were closed, and no outsiders were allowed to observe. Secondly, streamline the errand and issue a gag order, which will never be leaked out, and don't worry about losing your reputation. ”

The couple's faces were still ugly, and Wu Kang continued: "Wu Hedi, the yamen will sue Zhang Er for rape. If convicted, he will be sentenced to two years in prison according to Yonghui law, and your wife will not be guilty. That grandson hurt you so badly, you have to swallow your anger? ”

When these words came to his heart, Wu Hedi twisted his eyebrows and pondered, and finally nodded in agreement. Wu Kang then flickered: "You can write and hyphenate, and you can write your own pleadings, but I recommend finding a professional lawyer." The Wu Cui clan next to me is the first lawyer in Datang. ”

Wu Kang pointed at Jiuniang and patted his fiancée: "Her name is Wu Tangjing, the shopkeeper of Wuzhou Law Firm, proficient in Yonghui Law, and has rich experience in the industry." A few months ago, the person who picked up the 'night without a reason' should be acquitted of killing people under normal circumstances. Lawyer Kewu had iron teeth and bronze teeth, and the case was reversed, and the murderer was sentenced to beheading. ”

Feeling the pain in his lower back, Wu Kang smiled evilly. Wu Hedi's face was strange, and he had already seen that Jiu Niang was dressed as a man, so he hurriedly gave a salute: "I have heard about that case, and my classmates have also discussed it. That being the case, the iron pen of the martial lawyer is tired. ”

Jiu Niang rewarded Wu Kang with a roll of his eyes, and also responded to the matter, arranging: "It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, understand this case as soon as possible, and you can live a peaceful life as soon as possible." Now go to the office, at the gate of Wuzhou Yada, someone is on duty, just report my name. ”

The two saluted again, and Jiuniang instructed the slaves and maids, beckoned them to take an ox cart, and returned to Wuzhou City the same way. Wu Hedi stared at the giant kite, quite dumbfounded.

Sending them away, Jiu Niang asked the bodyguards to set the carriage and follow the ox cart far behind. Wu Kang saw her sad face, and smiled to flatter: "Jiuniang doesn't have to be depressed, go to Kurong Mountain tomorrow, do the right thing first, okay?" ”

"It's not because of the glider", Jiu Niang sat on his lap again, and said sullenly: "Yonghui Law on rape sentencing is not very reasonable. strong relatives, the heaviest sentence is hanging; slaves and maids force their masters, and are sentenced to be hanged and beheaded; A good man is a good man, and only one degree is added to the rape, that is, two years in prison, and the sentence is too light. ”

The hero saw the same thing, Wu Kang nodded again and again: "It's really light, if I participate in the formulation of the law, at least I will be exiled, and I will be directly sent three thousand miles to Hainan Island to fend for myself." However, Jiuniang, the focus of this case is not to sentence Zhang Er, but to save the Wu family. ”

Jiuniang stretched her brows, sighed and said: "If the husband and wife divorce, if it is divorced and separated from righteousness, then they are all happy, and women are not rumored to be able to marry a good family again." If the seventh is divorced, it will be miserable, it will be difficult to marry again, be looked down upon everywhere, and even fall into the dust. ”

Wu Kang is noncommittal, and everyone is happy to leave, and the righteousness is to be discussed. What is renunciation? The husband and wife broke off their righteousness. What is grace and righteousness? For example, if the man beats his father-in-law, the woman beats his sister-in-law, etc., and the government comes forward to force a divorce, whoever does not agree will be beaten, and if he does not leave, he will have to leave.

Suddenly a sigh interrupted his wandering, Jiu Niang pouted and said: "Seven out is not reasonable, just take the evil disease as an example, if the wife is seriously ill, the man should take care of him, how can he divorce his wife?" It's all you stinky men, and women's status is so low. If you want me to say, there should be equality between men and women..."

"Ahem...", Wu Kang choked on saliva, almost lost his breath, and looked at her in disbelief. This girl, feminist, if you and Wu Zhaoyi are in contact, there should be a common topic.

The old waist hurt again, so he quickly replaced his astonishment, and said with a smile: "I can't overturn a boatload of people with one rod, I am a supporter of 'equality between men and women', and I don't favor sons over women." In this way, when my official residence is a product, I will write to the imperial court to rebuild..."

The words stopped abruptly, and I was suddenly depressed, and I thought inexplicably that the relationship between men and women was chaotic. The Tang Law's clause on adultery is basically nothing. From the royal palace nobles to the peddlers and pawns, both men and women, they are more open than Japan. The woman had a few lovers outside, and it was common for them to eat.

stopped Jiu Niang's slender waist and said: "Baby, let's be honest, I don't have a virgin complex, I didn't care before, but after we get married, don't cuckold me... It's cheating in marriage, it's a lover outside... Ahh

Jiuniang took a sip of him, waited for Xiaoluyan and said, "Knowing the men in the world, why do you want to marry a woman with five surnames?" Because the women with the fifth surname are loyal to their marriage, unlike those uneducated women who raise face-raising lovers. Also, the five surnames and Qiwang have a very strict family education, and there will be no loss before marriage. ”

"Wise! It's just wise and martial", Wu Kang licked his face and immediately changed the subject: "That... Continue the case. Tang Law's definition of rape and rape is very vague and pitfalling. The explanation given by the "Famous Examples": Being resisted by the strong all the time is regarded as rape; Resist first and then give up, which is regarded as rape. ”

Speaking of this, he couldn't help sighing, shook his head and said: "Zhang Er used ventriloquism to deceive, Wu Zhang believed it, how could he resist?" As a result, the verdict is ambiguous, but the consequences are vastly different. I'm going to be sentenced to rape, and I'm worried about the future..."

Jiuniang grinned and said, "Erlang don't worry, according to your thoughts, you can't be wrong." The law is not human, and sometimes reason is greater than the law. Record the case clearly, and no matter which Chin sends him, as long as he has a conscience, he will support the rape verdict. ”

After careful consideration, it seems that there is some truth in feudal society, which is the rule of man. Whenever there is a major event, especially a drought, the imperial court will send envoys to various places to go to prison. Check the case file to see if there are any unjust, false and wrongful convictions, and if so, the officials in charge will be unlucky.

took a reassuring pill, put the case behind, and began to talk sweetly, telling all kinds of jokes to amuse the beauty. Waiting to return to the school field outside the state ya, the Wu couple waited at the door of the office, Jiuniang went down to greet him, and Wu Kang went to the judicial yamen.

Xu Sanjiao came to report that Zhang Er had been arrested and locked up in the detention room of the bad guard. When I came to the detention room, I couldn't help but laugh out loud when I looked at the scene in my eyes. This kid has a thief's eyebrows and rat eyes, his head is swollen like a pig's head, and his arms are blue and purple, and he suffers from skin and flesh.

When he saw Wu Kang, he knelt on the ground regardless of the pain, kowtowing and shouting injustice. Wu Kang smiled gently, asked the bad guy to help him up, and moved a stool, and said with a smile: "For what happened to you, this official feels deeply guilty, and violent law enforcement is not right." So, you imitate my voice and repeat what you just said. If they learn like this, the official will punish them! ”

Jiang Da Niu was frightened and hurriedly reported: "Wu Gong doesn't know, Tian She is ruthless, and there are many vicious dogs at home. When the brothers were arrested, he not only did not cooperate, but also let the dog bite people, biting several brothers. We couldn't get angry, and after killing the vicious dog, we we..."

This grandson is very skinny! Wu Kang was noncommittal, waved his hand to interrupt Da Niu, and stared at Zhang Er with a smile. Zhang Er hurriedly coughed twice, imitated Wu Kang's voice, and said what he had just said. Everyone was dumbfounded, this is too similar, absolutely fake and real.

Talent is this, absolutely have to be accepted as a staff member, just like Meng Weijun's "chicken and dog thief", which can save lives at critical moments. But for now, deal with the case first, turn around and scold Da Niu: "How many times have I told you, don't enforce the law violently." Quietly this is covered with scars, if Cui Gong blames me, I can't afford it. You should really learn from the prison guards. ”

The bad guy's eyes lit up, and the big bull summoned his subordinates and whispered in a low voice. Wu Kang pursed his lips, came to Da Niu's desk, and dipped his pen in ink to write. It didn't take much effort before the bad guys came over with the guys, fist-sized stone hammers, mats stuffed with chicken feathers.

As soon as the bull gave an order, the bad guys rushed up, tied Zhang Erwuhua, and threw him on the ground. The chicken feather pad lay flat on his chest, and the two of them stood in position, smashing the cobblestone hammer on the mat. This routine does not leave external injuries.

A mournful wail filled the room, and Wu Kang ignored it and wrote hard. After finishing the work, I stood up slowly, picked up the paper to Zhang Er, and read aloud: My name is Zhang Er, a native of Zhang Sunzhuang in Wuzhou City, and on the twenty-eighth night of the lunar month of the third year of Yonghui, I sneaked into the back house of the Wu family. Blowing out the candles, imitating Wu Hedi's voice, and deceiving Wu Zhang. After being exposed by Wu Zhang's family, he was forcibly raped.

Zhang Er shook his head violently, his thief's eyes were terrified, and he shouted: "We are a rape, I didn't force it, we are a rape..."

The hammer rain fell again, the wailing burst out again, and Wu Kang laughed and said: "You, the best Tian Shenu, rape for two years, and rape for one and a half years, it is no different from you, and the conscience of the Wu Zhang family is greatly damaged." ”

He put the confession on the ground, turned around and left the detention cell, stopped in the courtyard, looked at the sun in the west, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a wry smile.

About a quarter of an hour, footsteps came, and Jiang Daniu held the paper in both hands. Seeing the ghost-like signature, the red fingerprints of the left and right thumbs, and the handprints of the palms, I couldn't help but be happy. Dare to let the dog bite the bad person, I thought it was a hard bone! With a confession, the case is perfectly solved...
