Of course, Wu Qiang knew what Ling Yuqiang meant by chopping, and he was influenced by the concept of popularizing the law in later generations, so he said angrily: "Killing people is not enough, and treating a woman with such a cruel criminal law is simply a shame for human civilization." ”

Ling Yuqiang hurriedly stabbed Wu Qiang, and said, "Brother Wu, don't be angry, let's go and inquire, maybe this is not the case." ”

At this time, the procession of people had already walked through the streets, and the faces of many men suddenly glowed, and some of them gathered around them with a trivial look in their eyes, pushing and shoving each other, and the short ones stood on tiptoe to watch, hoping to enjoy the most irritating content.

When the procession came near, some people seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, and they screamed strangely, and even some bold ruffians actually stepped forward to grope for the woman's body, but the guards and officials did not stop it.

When Wu Qiang saw this situation, he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, the tradition of Chinese people watching the lively scene has really been around for a long time.

Ling Yuqiang was also very curious, and pulled a gangster-looking man to sit at a tea stall on the street and asked the other party about the situation.

The thug was disturbed and was about to have a seizure, and when he saw the few copper coins that Ling Yu forcibly put on the table in front of him, he immediately changed his smiling face and talked endlessly about the reason for the incident.

The woman riding the wooden donkey is surnamed Ma, after the death of her husband seven years ago, she has never remarried, everyone calls her a horse widow, there is a way that the widow has many rights and wrongs in front of the door, I don't know if it is true or false, it is rumored that she has an affair with many people in this county.

Half a year ago, Mi Youde, the owner of the county's Changfa Commercial Bank, hooked up with the widow Ma, and the love of men and women was originally a matter of love between men and women, unless they were caught and raped in bed on the spot, the government generally did not want to interfere too much. Moreover, the county magistrate of this county is also a cousin of Mi Youde, and no one is willing to meddle in things.

Mi Youde's family has a big business, and the horse widow has gained a lot of benefits from this, and her appetite is a little big when she comes and goes, and she wants to hug Mi Youde's thick legs. Mi Youde Tsushima Widow is just playing on the spot, with the intention of having fun. Later, Mi Youde thought that the horse widow was insatiable, so he deliberately alienated, and the horse widow was unwilling to stop, so he bewitched a ruffian named Liu Er in this county.

On a windy and dark night, the widow Ma lured Mi Youde to her house, and after the two of them had a rainy day, while Mi Youde was sleepy and asleep, the widow Ma wrestled Liu Er to death and threw his body in a pond.

The above is all hearsay from this gangster, and he doesn't know what the specific situation is.

The next thing is that this gangster can pat his chest to ensure authenticity. Before Widow Ma and Liu Er could escape, the case was solved, and the county magistrate quickly sentenced the case, and Liu Er had been executed by Ling Chi three days earlier.

The fate of the horse widow was even more miserable, in addition to being punished by Ling Chi, she also had to ride a wooden donkey through the streets to show the public. Three days before her execution, the horse widow was thrown to the prison guards and the prisoners to play in turn, and even the ruffians who knew the jailers well were invited to join in the prison.

The thug claimed that he had also been to play with the horse widow, and told the details with great relish. Wu Qiang couldn't listen to it anymore, he pulled up Ling Yuqiang and left, he was afraid that he would not be able to help but beat people, and Pu Guang followed behind them without saying a word.

Ling Chi's punishment is rare in ordinary times, let alone cutting a woman, and most of the men in Qingpu County flocked to the crossroads. The so-called murder and execution in the novel, film and television, generally refers to the capital.

There was originally a small livestock trading market in Qingpu County, but it was also temporarily closed because of the widow of Ling Chima.

Wu Qiang did not want to see Ling Chi's bloody scene, so he proposed to return, while Pu Guang said that there was also a livestock market in Qibao Town, and Ling Yuqiang wanted to go to the scene to visit the execution.

Puguang finally suddenly said viciously to Ling Yuqiang: "You don't have to go, according to the laws of the Qing Dynasty, the horse widow will only have twelve knives at most, what's the point of this." Let me tell you more carefully, there are several types of Ling Chi, and how many knives the prisoner will take, to ensure that you enjoy listening to it. ”

Ling Yuqiang heard that Puguang's tone was not good, and hurriedly said, "Senior Brother Puguang, I won't go, and I don't want to hear it." ”

Puguang said with a fierce expression: "If you don't listen to me, I want to say, Ling Chi is generally divided into eight knives, twelve knives, sixteen knives, eighteen knives, twenty-four knives, twenty-four knives, thirty-six knives, sixty-four knives, one hundred and twenty-eight knives, etc., if there is a rebellion, the crime is extremely evil, and it is feasible to have more than 1,000 knives, and the former Ming eunuch Liu Jin was cut more than 3,000 knives, which is the most ...... in the past dynasties."

"Senior Brother Puguang, are you okay?" Wu Qiang found that something was wrong with Puguang's demeanor, and hurriedly pulled Puguang.

Puguang looked stunned, as if he was reciting the scriptures on weekdays, and said to himself: "The punishment of Ling Chi is generally to cut the double breasts first, to the left and right, and each arm is knifed, and the claustrophobic is repeated, that is, the man picks the yang heel, and the woman takes the birth door......"

I can't say it anymore, it's easy to be drunk blood, and this paragraph is too bloody, so as not to cause you discomfort, just skip it, if you want to know more, you can go to Du Niang Encyclopedia for help with relevant content.

"Senior Brother Puguang, calm down." Wu Qiang drank again and again, but Puguang was like a demon, and even Wu Qiang slapped him in the face, his eyes were still dull, and he still kept thinking about it.

Wu Qiang knew that Puguang had a shadow in his psychology in the past, and today he was stimulated and caused by illness. Seeing that some people on the surrounding streets began to notice them, Wu Qiang was afraid of causing unnecessary trouble, so he hurriedly dragged Puguang into an alley.

Ling Yuqiang was still a child, and he was so frightened by Puguang's situation that he cried, grabbed Puguang's clothes and said regretfully: "Senior Brother Puguang, I'm sorry, I didn't know it would be like this, I won't go to see it, you wake up quickly." ”

Wu Qiang flipped Puguang to the ground, rode on him, and slapped him several times in a row before the nonsense in his mouth stopped.

Ling Yuqiang saw Wu Qiang slapping Puguang's mouth, and at first wanted to stop it, but when he saw that Puguang's emotions had eased, he stopped.

"I'm fine, you let me go." After Puguang stabilized his mood, he seemed to understand what was happening.

Wu Qiang let go of Puguang, helped him up, and asked with concern, "Are you better?" ”

Puguang said calmly: "It's okay, we can hurry." ”

Ling Yuqiang wiped his tears and said, "Senior Brother Puguang, I'm sorry, it's all my fault for making you sick." ”

Puguang stretched out his hand and rubbed Ling Yuqiang's head, and said with a smile: "Silly boy, what are you talking about?" None of your business. ”

Wu Qiang saw that Puguang was indeed fine, so he took his suggestion, and the three of them rushed to Qibao Town.

Out of Qingpu County, none of the three of them mentioned the matter of the horse widow Ling Chi along the way, and they all avoided this topic, and Wu Qiang did not ask about the cause of Puguang's illness. Everyone has a deep past in their hearts, where there are sweet memories and pains that they don't want to touch.

Qibao Town is not far from Qingpu County, and according to Puguang, the seat of Qingpu County is in Qibao Town. Although Wu Qiang didn't know what the responsibilities of the county were about, he also knew that the county was the second-in-command of a county, and his rights were not small.

With the county garrison, Qibao Town has become the largest town in Qingpu County, at least there are still a lot of small traders, and there is indeed a small livestock' trading market here, which is in a vacant lot at the entrance of the town.

Because I don't understand the market, as well as the trading rules of this era, the whole process is completed by Puguang. Of course, Puguang is dressed as a layman, but he has a monk in his arms, otherwise he will be killed if he is found out by the government.

From Wu Qiang's point of view, Puguang did not have the business mind at all, and after being fooled a few words, he sold at a relatively low price. Wu Qiang didn't stop it, he looked at it completely as a bystander, anyway, the horses were not coming from the right way, and he didn't care about the high price and low price.

After selling the horses and collecting the money, the three of them were a little hungry, so they found a small restaurant to eat. Wu Qiang saw Puguang's look of picking at the rope when he ordered, and he hesitated, knowing that he was usually used to living a poor life, so he proposed that he should treat him to this meal.

Puguang refused at first, but Wu Qiang ignored it and said to the shopkeeper: "Pick four specialties from your store for me." ”

"Okay, guest officer, wait a minute." The shopkeeper was naturally very happy to meet such a customer, and left briskly after singing a promise.

Puguang was suddenly a little dumbfounded, and finally could only pinch the money bag and sigh reluctantly.

Wu Qiang laughed and said, "Senior Brother Puguang, don't worry, I have silver in my pocket, let's have a good meal today." ”

Ling Yuqiang said excitedly: "Then thank you Brother Wu, I have been going up the mountain during this time, and my mouth is about to fade out of a bird." ”

Wu Qiang suddenly remembered that the monks didn't eat wine and meat, so he said to Puguang: "Senior Brother Puguang, can I ask for two more plates of vegetarian dishes?" ”

Puguang lowered his eyelids and folded his hands and said: "Amitabha, poor monks are not taboo in meat and vegetarian, and they do not cultivate their hearts and mouths." ”

Ling Yuqiang laughed and said: "Brother Wu, Senior Brother Puguang is a true monk at all, I said Senior Brother Puguang, don't pretend to be with Brother Wu." ”

Wu Qiang couldn't help but smile and said: "Since that's the case, I'll serve another jar of wine and two meat dishes later." ”

Ling Yuqiang said happily: "Thank you, Brother Wu, you are such a good person." ”

Puguang's eyes suddenly lit up, but he deliberately held the shelf and said, "The poor monk is disrespectful." ”

Wu Qiang still couldn't help but say curiously: "I see that you have a degree of monkhood, why aren't you a real monk?" ”

Hearing this, Puguang glanced around, and then said in a low voice: "The poor monk doesn't want to keep braids. ”

Wu Qiang couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Puguang's words, and then there was a hot feeling on his face.

Seeing this, Puguang comforted: "Master Wu doesn't have to be like this, after all, everyone has their own ambitions, if it weren't for the Tartar who killed the poor monk's relatives, the poor monk would be like you now, with that rat's tail on his head." ”
