Three streets away from the Ethics Mansion, there is a dignified mansion, in front of the door two small stone lions, the nailed mahogany door is tightly closed, and the plaque on it hangs two golden characters 'Wu Mansion'. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The sky is gradually white, and there are already many pedestrians on the streets, and a new day is coming.
If you walk into the quiet mansion and listen carefully, you will find a burst of crying and shouting coming from the inner room, and you will enter the inner room.
A young man in a white undershirt, about 20 years old, with a woman in her twenties tied in front of him.
This woman is the daughter of the old man, she was taken captive a few days ago, Wu Yong has long been tired of eating the overlord meal, and if she wants to have fun, she has been persuading this woman for three days.
However, after three days, this woman still doesn't know what to do, Wu Yong finally lost his patience, and he was about to bow hard against the overlord tonight, but he also knew that the twisted melon was not sweet, and he wanted to try to fight for it one last time.
But after talking about it for most of the night, she didn't eat soft and hard, she was still crying, and Wu Yong didn't have any desire, so she fell asleep, hoping that she would change her mind tomorrow morning.
At this time, Wu Yong woke up from sleep, saw the woman shrinking in the corner of the wall and wiping her tears, came to the interest, stepped forward with a lewd smile, and propped up her chin: "Little girl, you are from this young master, eat fragrant and drink spicy, wear gold and silver, what's the point of not following that lowly military household?" ”
It turned out that the old man was a woman and a soldier of the Yong'an Army named Tian Zhuang, and he was engaged to get married, but it would take long to pass through the door, and the soldiers of the Yong'an Army who were thieves and protect the people were the ideal destination for many women, and the woman in front of him was no exception.
When the woman heard this, her eyes suddenly widened, and she spat at Wu Yong: "Phew, Da Zhuang is much stronger than you, he can follow the garrison to kill thieves, make meritorious achievements, and earn fields and cattle and sheep for the family with his own ability!" ”
Before he finished speaking, Wu Yong's 'snap' slapped the woman's delicate face, and then kicked it mercilessly, scolding: "Miao Zhuang, he's a fart!" ”
The woman was slapped, and a piece of redness and swelling suddenly appeared on her delicate face, and the corners of her mouth were bleeding, but she still did not give in, and was kicked by Wu Yong a few times, curled up on the ground in pain, and coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood.
Wu Yong said with an arrogant face: "My father is Wu Yuan, a grain and rice giant in Datong!" Miao Zhuang, right? My Wu family has a lot of money, and it is as easy for Young Master Ben to pinch him to death as it is to pinch an ant to death, and then I will see who else you are with! ”
The woman's face was suddenly full of horror, and she shook her head again and again: "You, what are you going to do?" ”
Wu Yongyou snorted, smiled lewdly and pinched the woman's red and swollen face: "I know I'm scared this time?" I didn't want him to die, so I obediently followed Young Master Ben. ”
The woman kept shaking her head, and suddenly remembered something, and shouted: "No, no, you killed Da Zhuang, and the garrison will not let you go!" ”
Wu Yong's heart tightened after hearing this, and then he was relieved, and said contemptuously: "Xiao Yi? Xiao Yi can still get along with my Wu family for a lowly military family? ”
The woman also knew that the Wu family's wealth on Datong East Road almost monopolized the grain and rice trade here, although the garrison loved the people and the army, how could he make a feud with such a family for the sake of a military household? It's impossible.
She was full of despair, thinking that she was going to live a good life, but now not only would she be insulted by thieves, but even Da Zhuang would be implicated.
Seeing Wu Yong, who was approaching her with a lewd smile, the woman suddenly thought, if she died, would Da Zhuang live?
Wu Yong's hand was just about to touch the woman's clothes, and the woman was ready to commit suicide at any time, when the housekeeper ran in in a panic, Wu Yong said unhappily: "What are you doing?" Didn't you tell you to be okay and not to interfere with Young Master Ben? ”
The housekeeper waved his hand again and again: "Young master, there is a large group of people from the Yong'an Army coming here!" ”
Wu Yong let go of the woman and shouted, "What?!" Did you read that right? Isn't the Yongan Army supposed to be training in the barracks? What are they going to do when they come out at this time? ”
Wu Yong kept pacing back and forth, and after a while, he heard a family member running back with a roll: "Oh no, young master, Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi is here!" ”
"Could it be that Xiao Yi really wants to be the enemy of my Wu family for the sake of a lowly military household?" Wu Yong was shocked and muttered alone.
At this time, the woman laughed and spit out a mouthful of bloody phlegm at Wu Yong, looking extremely crazy: "Dog thief, the garrison has come to eliminate the harm for the people!" ”
Wu Yong was angry and kicked at the woman a few times, but the woman was tortured for a few days and could no longer support it, so she fainted at that time.
"Quick, quickly send someone to Yin's Mansion and Niu's Mansion... Oh, by the way, and Lord Zheng's mansion, call them here! Wu Yong paced a few steps, suddenly remembered something, and yelled at the housekeeper.
The housekeeper hurriedly rushed out of the mansion with more than a dozen servants, and as soon as he left the mansion, he ran back with a rolling belt, Wu Yong hurriedly went out a few steps, and hurriedly asked.
"What happened, how did you get back?"
A servant's voice was full of fear, and he pointed outside with a trembling voice: "The Yong'an Army is here!" ”
"Run!"
Wu Yong no longer had a trace of luck, his father was not in the house, Xiao Yi inevitably took the knife on himself, he immediately ordered: "Xiao Yi is abusing his power, my Wu family is not raising you for nothing, a bunch of waste, hurry up and block the door, support until Lord Zheng comes, you will be saved!" ”
Wu Yong kept shouting: "When my father comes back, Xiao Yi's garrison will be done!" ”
A group of servants hurriedly brought all kinds of things, blocked the gate to death, and then gathered around Wu Yong, trembling and listening to the sound outside.
Not long after, a fast horse kicked past, and one of them shouted loudly: "On the orders of the garrison lord, Wu Yong bullied people and forcibly kidnapped people's daughters, the crime is unforgivable, and he will be detained in prison according to the law!" ”
"This street is clear, and no one can stand, otherwise it will be the same crime!"
"If there is resistance, be summarily executed!"
Followed by the sound of footsteps from all sides, after a long time, the outside finally quieted down, Wu Yong and the housekeeper glanced at each other, forced themselves to suppress their minds, and said to the outside: "Outside, but the soldiers and horses of the garrison, I don't know what crime I, Wu Yong, have committed?" ”
Xiao Yi's cold voice came from outside: "Being a traitor, oppressing the good, plotting to kill people, and committing serious crimes is inevitable." ”
"Mr. Yuan Qian, what should I do according to my 'Daming Law'?"
Outside, Yuan Shao said respectfully: "Seeking people's lives, forcibly kidnapping people's women, beating the people, according to my Ming Dynasty's "Criminal Law", punish remote soldiers, migration, and tattooing." ”
When Zhu Yuanzhang crossed the river to occupy Jinling, he had already begun the formulation of laws, and in the first year of Wu, he systematically formulated "laws and decrees", but the laws at this time were not "Daming laws".
In November of the sixth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Li Shanchang, the prime minister of the left, Liu Ji in the imperial history, and Liu Weiqian, the secretary of the criminal department, to establish the law of the Ming Dynasty on the basis of the "Law Order" of Jinling, and officially began to compile.
After Yuan Shaogong finished speaking, it was quiet inside and outside, Wu Yong inside the door was already covered with cold sweat, he didn't expect Xiao Yi to talk about the Da Ming law, he naturally dealt with it himself in accordance with the law.
The law of the Ming Dynasty stipulates that the royal family, nobles, and gentry enjoy privileges, but it does not say that merchants also have privileges. Where is the incriminating evidence? ”
Xiao Yi sneered: "Evidence of crime? Open the door of the mansion and find out with a search. ”
Seeing that there was no sound in the door, Xiao Yi said: "It seems that the Wu family wants to resist the search and arrest, Mr. Yuan Qian, what is the deal with resisting the search and arrest?" ”
Because Zhu Yuanzhang was from a civilian background, the Da Ming Law was particularly serious about the oppression and good treatment of the rich, and in the first compilation of the Da Ming Law in the Hongwu period, it even regarded 'human life', 'resisting arrest', 'adultery' and 'rebellion' as the same crimes.
Yuan Shaogong said: "According to the provisions of my Ming Dynasty's 'Tang Law', if you resist the search and arrest, you will be beheaded, and those who are over 16 years old will be hanged; ”
The plain words and the soldiers of the Yong'an Army standing around him, this kind of breath made Wu Yong breathless.
