"Sister, look, Wang Xiucai looks at you!"

As soon as he sat down, Liu Yuanshan bowed his head and said to Liu Yanran. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Liu Yanran's face flushed slightly, raised her head and peeked at Wang Xiucai, who was sitting in the middle, and sure enough, when she saw him looking at herself, she couldn't help but blush even more, and she didn't dare to raise her head again, and almost shrank her body to the ground.

"Hold your head up and sit down!" Liu Yuanshan said: "Otherwise, Wang Xiucai will look down on you." ”

Although Liu Yanran blushed, she was very obedient this time, sat down generously, and her heart suddenly became cheerful, her face was slightly shy, and her eyes dared to look at the center of the field.

"Yes, sister, that's it!"

Liu Yuanshan cheered her on, Liu Yanran smiled slightly, Liu also smiled, her courage and temperament have changed a lot, at least now when she sees the people in the village, she can straighten up and speak.

Seeing all this, Liu Yuanshan's heart was warm, and he secretly said that his efforts were not in vain after all, at least something had changed.

"It's all quiet!" Li Zheng stood up and waved his hand to make everyone stop talking, but after all, one or two thousand people were all uneducated peasants, and even if Li Zheng shouted, the scene was still difficult to be quiet.

Li Zheng seemed to be accustomed to such a scene, and said: "Everyone knows that a sad thing happened in our Liujia Village yesterday, and today I called us together just to talk about it." ”

Li Zheng spoke, first scolded Widow Ma and Liu Xiaozhong, and spent a long time describing the sins of the two, and only when the audience was really impatient did he say: "I asked Master Wang Xiucai to come out today and tell us about the laws of the Ming Dynasty, you all behave in the future, don't do something bad and moral, let my old man lose face and go to the county yamen." ”

Then Wang Xiucai followed Lizheng's words, summarized it for everyone, and began to use the most straightforward words to say some basic laws, he said a lot, including theft, robbery, human trafficking, false accusations, etc., and finally talked about fornication and rape.

"According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, whoever has fornication, the adulterer can be killed with a cane on the spot, and the people are allowed to use lynching. As for the women, go to the clothes and receive the cane, and the wooden donkey parades the streets! ”

The so-called wooden donkey parade is to tie the woman to a donkey made of wood, with a sharp pestle into its ****, and then four or five men carry the wooden donkey on the street, and every time you walk, you will use the pestle to stab the woman's lower body, the blood is dripping, it is a first-class torture, and when the street is over, the woman basically has no chance to live.

Sometimes for the sake of the rule of officials and the people's customs, this kind of torture can be the most effective, the more afraid the small people will not dare to overcome, so there are very few fornicators near Liujia Village, and it is close to nothingness for this reason.

Because once the crime of fornication is committed, the risk is too great for a woman, and she will lose not only her own life, but also the reputation of the family, the style of the family, and even the future of her children.

Sure enough, as soon as Wang Xiucai said this, the people at the scene were brainwashed, and everyone was in danger, obviously not daring to transgress the law.

Li Zheng convened a meeting to explain the law, which is still very meaningful.

After talking about fornication, then it's rape!

The Ming law criminalizes rape with a maximum penalty of death, while the victim is not guilty.

Then, after hearing the news, the crowd below was obviously a little out of control, and someone stood up and asked: "Master Xiucai, why is it that only men are guilty of rape, and aren't women guilty of immorality?" ”

Liu Yuanshan is also drunk, this kind of thing must be innocent of the woman, why do you need to say this? I think I know it with my toes.

However, the ancient social concept is obviously not at the same level as him, a modern person, and there was more than one man who asked questions on the spot, and many men stood up to question Wang Xiucai.

Wang Xiucai thought for a while, and even gave an explanation that Liu Yuanshan hated: "Men who forcibly take away people's innocence will be hanged at the highest level, and there is no clear mention in the law of women." I guess I am innocent! ”

"Should?" Liu Yuanshan's face was black.

However, he can't carry the whole society alone, and he doesn't care so much.

Surprisingly, the boss of Lao Gan's family was quite concerned about this crime of rape, and even asked Wang Xiucai one question after another, as if he had committed rape before.

This guy has quirks. Liu Yuanshan thought about it, but he didn't take it to heart, and secretly said that he didn't care about him, as long as Lao Gan's family didn't mess with him, Lao Tzu didn't bother to care about him, and the whole family smelled of commotion, but he couldn't be provoked.

At the end of the meeting, everyone dispersed

Entering the moon, Liu Yuanshan didn't have to go to class, so he took his family up the mountain.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and the gas is turning into smoke!

"This hellish weather, it's almost as cold as Dongjiang Town!" Third Uncle Shen came out of Second Uncle Mao's house, complained, and when he saw Liu Yuanshan's family, he smiled and said, "San Lang went down the mountain!" ”

"Hmm!" Liu Yuanshan asked, "What is Third Uncle Shen going to do?" ”

"It's out of the charcoal!" Shen San said with a smile: "It's all white charcoal, this is the last time the kiln will be opened, San Lang is really amazing, hehe!" ”

Liu Yuanshan waved his hand and asked Sister-in-law Fan to take Liu and her sister first, and he led Liu Da and Liu Er to follow behind Third Uncle Shen and said, "I'll go and help you, and it will be a lot warmer to work." ”

"Let's go, stinky boy!" Third Uncle Shen was the first to know Liu Da and Liu Er, and he was also familiar with them, so he took a few people to the charcoal kiln, and it happened that Uncle Mao and Second Uncle Mao were there.

There are three charcoal kilns in total, all of which are still steaming. Next to it was a large pile of white charcoal, Liu Yuanshan glanced at it, and said secretly: It should have been baked before, and asked, "Third Uncle Shen, hasn't this white charcoal been sold?" ”

"It's too troublesome, run to Xiangyang City again and again!" Second Uncle Mao then replied: "Your Third Uncle Shen rented a boat in the county seat, put these white charcoal pieces on it when you go back, and transport it to Xiangyang City to sell it in its entirety, so that you don't have to run back and forth." ”

The Malan River eventually flows into the Han River, and you can take a boat from F County to Yangyang Province, which is fast and saves time.

Liu Yuanshan took Liu Da and Liu Er and immediately entered the state of labor, but before he could lift the layer of soil on the top of the charcoal kiln, Sister-in-law Fan ran in from outside in a panic, and when she saw Liu Yuanshan, she shouted: "Young master, you go home quickly, someone is coming!" ”

"Someone's coming?" Liu Yuanshan was stunned for a moment, and secretly said that the Dong family was here again.

"Yes, yes, young master, a big happy event, someone came to say goodbye to you, saying that it was the young lady of Zhao Yuanwai's family in Zhao Wangzhuang, and the wife shouted that you should go back quickly!"

Come on, there is such a big thing in the family, and it is impossible for Liu's temperament to come out and call the shots, so he has to go back and watch his own family affairs, Liu Yuanshan took a deep breath and spread his hands helplessly.

Second Uncle Mao quipped: "Boy, don't go back soon, you want to marry a daughter-in-law!" ”
