217 Sanniang abolished the bed and investigated the wrongful imprisonment

Throughout the ages, the darkest place in the world was not a night without the moon and stars or even lights, but a prison.

It is said that the first person in China to propose the creation of a prison is called Gao Tao (gāo yáo). The impartial judge in Chinese mythology has a clear face and a bird's beak, and an iron face is selfless. He had a unicorn and knew who was the sinful one. Gaotao tried the case, and when he encountered difficulties, he brought the divine sheep, and the horns of the divine sheep only touched the guilty person.

There is an idiom called - painting the ground as a prison, which tells a very touching story:

There was a man named Bukit who made a living by collecting firewood. One day, he came to Xiqi City to sell firewood. At the south gate, just in time for King Wen's car to pass by. Due to the narrow road in the market, when the firewood was replaced, he accidentally hit the sergeant Wang Xiang'er who was guarding the door. It was also a coincidence that he killed the other party at once. Bukit was arrested and handed over to King Wen for processing.

King Wen said, "Since Bukit killed the king, he should resist his fate." "He ordered people to draw a circle on the ground of the south gate to make a cell, erected a log to make a jailer, and locked up Bukit.

Three days later, the doctor San Yisheng passed by the south gate, saw Wu Ji crying bitterly, and asked him, "It is natural to kill people to pay for their lives." Why are you crying?"

Bukit said: "The villain's mother is 70 years old, and she only has a son like me. The villain has no wife, and the mother is alone, afraid that she will starve to death!"

San Yisheng entered the city and entered the palace to see King Wen, saying, "It is better to let Wu Ji go home first, and wait for him to finish supporting his mother, and then come to repay the king's life." - I don't know if it's possible?"

King Wen approved it and let Bukit go home......

If Bukit's story is true, he's in luck! More "Lucky Fifty-two" than "Lucky Fifty-two", it's like "Sunday" every day.

Prisons are meant to be for the most heinous people, or at least the bad people. But the reality is not so, most of the prisons in the Song Dynasty were held by people who made small mistakes, even innocent people.

The prison of the Daimyofu is not located in the Daimyofu, about ten miles northeast of the Daimyofu. At that time, the prison was not called a prison, but a "prison city camp". The name of this prison camp is "Unsure Village".

The owner of the village is now called Wang Ren, who is now the so-called prison warden, and is a guy who "eats people" and does not spit out bones. His daily work is to rack their brains and torture prisoners in various tricks. There are only two purposes, one is to ask for money, and the other is to have fun. Wang Ren has been a prison warden for only three years, and more than 1,000 "prisoners" have died unnatural deaths.

Wang Ren saw Hu Sanniang nodding and bowing his waist, trying his best to flatter, and hated to call her Grandma Zu. Hu Sanniang hated Wang Ren at first sight, and quickly beat him away and personally interrogated the prisoner.

I saw five prisoners in a fit of anger, and they were tortured like ghosts, but none of them cried out. When Wang Ren is mentioned, it is said that he is more compassionate than Guanyin Bodhisattva. Hu Sanniang understood that these people had already let Wang Ren and others "clean up", and none of them dared to tell the truth. Even if Wang Ren lets out a stinky fart, he will say that it smells like a rose.

The sixth extracted prisoner was named Zhou Wen, who was skinny and had two big eyes like hollows. If the eyes do not move, they are no different from a dead man. He has long lost the expression of a normal person, the joy, anger and sorrow have nothing to do with him, and all that remains is numbness.

Hu Sanniang also drove the jailer away, leaving only Lin Siniang by his side.

"Are you wronged?" Hu Sanniang asked softly and gently.

"Not wronged, not wronged at all." Zhou Wen said indifferently.

"What crime did you commit in coming in?"

"What sin? Forgot. ”

"How long have you been in?"

"Forget."

"I've checked, you've been in for ten years."

"Ten years, is it that long?"

Lin Siniang walked over, handed over a scoop, asked him to drink water, and said softly: "It is the new prefect of the Daimyo Mansion who asked you, if you are wronged, you will speak out, and you will definitely make the decision for you." ”

Zhou Ren drank the water, glanced at Hu Sanniang, and hurriedly said: "No injustice, no injustice, I deserve to die!" ”

Hu Sanniang still said softly: "You have a younger brother named Zhou Wu, who came in with you, what about the others?" ”

Zhou Wen glanced at Hu Sanniang again and said, "He's very good!" ”

"No, he died in prison three years ago. - What is the reason? ”

"Sick and dead."

"Your brother didn't die of illness, there is another reason."

"My lord, no matter how you die, you die, there is no difference!"

Zhou Wen raised his voice slightly, and he also had a little feeling.

"As long as you tell the truth, Master Hu will make decisions for you!" Lin Siniang raised her voice.

"Lord Hu, how long can you stay here?" Zhou Wen suddenly raised his head and looked at the other party.

"If you don't find out how your brother died, I won't leave!" Hu Sanniang said loudly.

Zhou Wen whimpered and cried, and it took a long time to stop his grief and say, "Brother Wu, can you come out this time......"

Zhou Wen spoke slowly-

When we came in, my brother was 20 years old and I was 26 years old. His younger brother Zhou Wu liked fists and kicks since he was a child, and he offended people because of his grievances. That kid is Zhao Yuanwai's son, and his nickname is Zhao Dalu. Just because Zhao Da molested women, he was taught a lesson by my younger brother, and since then he has been married.

That year, a thunderbolt killed a child surnamed Lei. My brother scolded: "God is really unfair, he killed the children of the Lei family, why didn't he kill Lei Zhixian!?" ”

"Don't talk nonsense!" I immediately warned my brother.

These words happened to be heard by the two members of the Zhao family. Zhao Dali began to retaliate and sued my two brothers. The Zhao family made the money, and Lei Zhixian also hated my brother and took us down together...... After several tosses, we came to the uncertain village. The younger brother was strong-blooded, and he was tortured unconvinced, but he never lowered his head.

Three years ago, on the eighth day of the eighth month of August, a jailer, Li Gui, came to the cell. At that time, my brother and I were locked in a cell. The younger brother was beaten again for disobedience.

Li Gui sent a plate of loaches, there were seven or eight, and said with emotion: "Zhou Wu, I respect you as a man, and I went to the river to catch some loaches." Please Lang Zhong prepared medicine and fed it, swallow it raw, and the stick injury will be fine in only three days! ”

My brother and I were so moved that we didn't think much of it. The younger brother was also very hungry, and he was beaten for two days without food, and swallowed all the loaches in one go. In the middle of the night, my brother died.

It turned out that Li Gui, a bastard, didn't have a good heart at all. One of the loaches my brother swallowed had a very small hook in his belly. When the fish is digested, the iron hook cannot digest it, and the stomach and intestines are hooked, causing massive bleeding and death.

Hu Sanniang and Lin Siniang were shocked when they heard this.

The two forgot to sleep and eat to investigate the wrongs, and the more they investigated, the more shocked they became. This uncertain village is simply hell on earth. Before this, Hu Sanniang had stayed in the cold palace and in the water prison, compared to the uncertain village, it was simply heaven!
