Chapter 232: Wife Remarry
Of course, Yang Qiuchi is not a god, he just used modern criminal investigation fingerprint technology and a small trick to solve this small case. After the teapot is handed over to the yamen, no one else can touch the teapot until the owner is clearly lost, so there should be the fingerprints of the real owner on the teapot and not the fingerprints of another person.
He first took the teapot to the internal office, extracted the fingerprints on the teapot with a magnetic fingerprint brush and scotch tape, fixed it on a piece of paper, and then got a little green onion juice from the kitchen, dipped it in the green onion juice with a brush and hid it in his sleeve.
After returning to the hall and asking the original defendant to kowtow to the land temple outside, so as to attract everyone's attention, he compared the palm prints on the two oaths with the fingerprints he had just taken.
Although there were many people's fingerprints on the teapot, including Yang Qiuchi's own fingerprints, he only needed to determine which of the two original defendants did not have fingerprints on the teapot, and because it was two rows of one, it was quickly found out that the teapot had the fingerprints of the defendant Jiang Wenming but not the fingerprints of the plaintiff Zhu Jiaohua, so as to determine that the teapot was the defendant Jiang Wenming's and the plaintiff Zhu Jiaohua was lying.
Yang Qiuchi then took out the brush dipped in green onion juice and drew a grimace on Zhu Jiaohua's oath. Deliberately grinding and delaying for a long time, waiting for the green onion juice on the paper to dry and then pretending to be in the land temple, lighting the paper money in the incense burner, and putting the oath of Zhu Jiaohua, who painted a grimace, on the fire to roast, because the green onion juice used to paint the grimace before generated a substance similar to a transparent film on the surface of the paper, the ignition point of this substance is lower than that of paper, and it will change color when baked. So, that grimace is revealed.
Because this is based on the conclusion of the real fingerprint identification, of course, it accurately identified the liar, and took advantage of the reverence of the ancients for the gods to force the plaintiff Zhu Jiaohua to admit to lying through the apparition, and successfully resolved the case.
Yang Qiuchi said to Zhu Jiaohua, who was kneeling: "When you see wealth, you take the lost things of others, not only the wicked person sue first, but also swear and swear, you know, there are gods three feet above your head!" Stealing and playing tricks is to be sent by heaven, and you must be given a little warning to people like you. Come! Escort him out and be flogged twenty times, and put him in chains for a month! ”
The soaps pulled Zhu Jiaohua down on the platform in front of the lobby and beat 20 boards, put Zhu Jiaohua in a 20-pound wooden flail, and dragged him down outside the yamen to show the public in the laughter of the crowd.
Yang Qiuchi ordered that the blue and white short-spouted teapot be awarded to the defendant Jiang Wenming. Jiang Wenming said that he was grateful to the Qingtian Lord Mingjing for hanging high and kowtowing again and again.
Yang Qiuchi ordered him to retreat, Jiang Wenming was about to leave, Master Jin said: "Wait~!" He leaned into Yang Qiuchi's ear and whispered, "My lord, this lost owner has to give half of the price to the person he picked before he can leave." ”
"What? The owner still has to give money? Who prescribes? Yang Qiuchi said, thinking, this is the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation, and it should be encouraged, but I haven't heard that there is still half of it.
China's current law stipulates that if you find a found item and refuse to return it, it can constitute the crime of embezzlement, but it is a crime of personal accusation, that is to say, the owner must go to the court to sue and provide evidence to prove that criminal responsibility can be investigated. However, if you incur costs due to the management of the found items, or if you have incurred expenses to find the owner or suffered losses such as lost work, you can claim compensation from the owner for no cause.
Master Jin knew that of course the county master could not understand all the criminal laws, otherwise what would he want him to do, so he laughed in a low voice: "My lord, this is the regulation of our "Da Ming Law". ”
The Da Ming Law does stipulate as follows: "All things that are lost and lost shall be sent to the official within five days, the official property shall be returned to the official, and the private property shall be recognized by others, and half of the property shall be given to the person who has obtained the property as a reward, and half shall be given to the person who has returned the lost property." If there is no one who knows him within thirty days, give it all. ”
As soon as Yang Qiuchi heard the provisions of the Ming Dynasty, since Master Jin had said so, there must be one, so he nodded and said to Jiang Wenming: "Your blue and white short-spouted teapot is the owner of the family who picks up the gold and hands it over to the yamen before you can claim it back, according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, you should pay half of the price as a bounty to the person who finds the object." ”
Jiang Wenming was also real, he honestly took out ten taels of silver and handed it over, and Yang Qiuchi instructed the person waiting outside the hall to pick up the lost item and receive the bounty. The case is only now closed.
The second case was a bigamy case, Yang Qiuchi was too lazy to look at the crepe of the paper, and directly passed the plaintiff Li Daniu up, saying: "What do you want to sue, tell me in court." ”
Li Daniu kowtowed and said: "Master, thirteen years ago, my sister Ming Media was marrying the defendant Wang Ke as his wife, but I didn't expect that this Wang Ke was a beast and concealed from us, and married Li Chengming's niece and Li Yuanwai's niece in the city. Please be our master. ”
Blatant bigamy? This kid is too bold, Yang Qiuchi ordered the defendant to be summoned to the court.
Defendant Wang Ke was taken to the lobby and knelt down. Yang Qiuchi asked: "Is what the plaintiff said true?" ”
Wang Ke stabbed and said, "That's right. ”
Yang Qiuchi was slightly stunned, why did this kid break the law and be so bullish, and asked: "You married Li Daniu's sister first, and you haven't divorced your wife yet, and you are marrying someone else's daughter, why?" ”
"Li Da Niu's sister is lazy and ugly, so of course Lao Tzu will marry another one." Wang Ke said cross-necked.
Yang Qiuchi's heart slowly came up, and he was about to ask again, but Li Daniu had already shouted: "You are talking nonsense!" My sister is kind and graceful, husband and child, has been with you for more than ten years, giving birth to children for you, giving birth to a young pension, and suffering a lot. When you were carrying a hoe and farming in your hometown, why didn't you say that my sister was bad? Now that you have climbed the high branches, you think my sister is old and yellow? ”
Wang Ke's eyes squinted: "That's right, I just think she's old, what's the matter?" You bite me? ”
"You! You bastard, I'm fighting with you! Li Daniu got up and was about to fight Wang Ke.
Yang Qiuchi shouted, and slapped it in shock: "Bold!" No noise is allowed in the public court! Want to get boarded? Li Daniu was startled, and quickly returned to his original position and knelt down and kowtowed.
"Yes, yes!" Wang Ke pointed at Li Daniu and shouted: "He roared at the court and beat him!" Why didn't you beat him, this old man? You old man......
Yang Qiuchi's heart suddenly burst into the top of his head, and he was shocked and interrupted his words: "How does this county deal with you to teach?" ”
Wang Ke stopped talking, and his face was still very dissatisfied.
Yang Qiuchi suppressed his anger and asked, "Wang Ke, this county asks you, does Li Daniu's sister have seven reasons?" ”
"Absolutely! He is lazy, disrespectful to his in-laws, and jealous...... "Wang Ke Hangerlang counted with his fingers.
"Fart! You dog thief, you have been married to my sister for thirteen years, why haven't you heard me gossip about my sister? Last year, after you became the porter of Li Chengming's Li Yuanwai's house, you thought that you had climbed the high branches, deceived Li Chengming and said that he did not get married, and married his disabled niece......"
Yang Qiuchi stopped Li Daniu's words, and continued to ask Wang Kedao: "Since his sister has so many problems, why didn't you divorce your wife?" ”
"I ...... I ......" Wang Ke was speechless for a while, then his neck was horizontal, and he said: "I want to take a break, but I don't have time!" ”
It turned out to be Chen Shimei, who forgot her righteousness! When Chen Shimei was still so coaxing, Yang Qiuchi turned around and asked Master Jin: "Mr. Jin, how does our "Da Ming Law" stipulate this bigamy?" ”
Master Jin replied: "The "Da Ming Law" stipulates: 'If there is a wife who marries another wife, the rod is ninety, and the divorce is divorced. ’”
China is a patriarchal ethical society, "monogamy" is regarded as the basic principle of marriage, the ancients said: "the princes have no two concubines", which means that even the princes of the Son of Heaven cannot marry two wives at the same time. "Tang Law Discussion" also said: "Monogamy is unbearable." The "White Tiger Tongyi" edited by Ban Gu of the Eastern Han Dynasty also said: "The wife is also Qi and the husband is in the same body, from the Son of Heaven to the Shuren, and its righteousness is also one." This means that there can only be one wife who is in harmony with her husband.
Therefore, "marrying a wife" has been banned by the law since ancient times, and the Daming Law also clearly stipulates that "marrying a wife" must not only spank, but also forcibly dissolve the marriage relationship. However, according to ancient documents, in ancient real life, it is not uncommon to merge with each other, and it depends on the government.
Yang Qiuchi said: "Okay! Drag this Wang Ke out for me and replay the ninety boards! ”
Soap Li agreed in unison to drag Wang Ke forward. Wang Ke shouted: "Hey, hey! Do you figure out who I am? Do you dare to hit me on the board? Don't you want to be a sesame official? ”
Yang Qiuchi was stunned for a moment, hearing this, he looked like a porter, as if Yang Qiuchi, the official, was rewarded by him. Yang Qiuchi laughed angrily, waved his hand, and asked, "Who are you?" Is the ministry still in the book? ”
"I am the porter of Li Chengming's Li Dayuan's foreign family! It's the niece and son-in-law of Mr. Li! You don't inquire, who is this old man outside of Mr. Li! Wang Ke sneered.
Yang Qiuchi was almost mad, he was shocked, and shouted: "Dare to disdain the people, dare to despise this official, and give me a heavy ninety board!" - No! Hit one hundred and twenty boards! And then the flail was displayed to the public for two months! ”
"You...... You ......" Wang Ke was stunned, this new old man didn't even give Li Chengming and Li Dayuan face, could it be that he had eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall, and for a while, he was angry and shocked, and he couldn't speak.
The soaps put him on the platform in the lobby, took off his pants and pressed them on the bench, crackling and beating him. beat this Wang Ke crying dad and calling his mother scream again and again. Li Da Newton was happy, and kowtowed again and again to thank Master Qingtian for being the master.
