Verse 22: The first mouthful of spit

Since the day the Tang Dynasty was established, Chang'an City has not changed its inherent rhythm, one hundred and eight square markets opened, people seem to have forgotten the hustle and bustle of yesterday, and still began their own daily work, caring about those high-ranking wealthy families, it is better to care about today's rice prices, you know, this winter rice prices have risen by three percent, and I don't know if the victims who have eaten up the grain in Chang'an are gone.

The greedy child rubbed his eyes, looked at the elm tree on the corner of the street, and always wondered that those little elm coins always did not grow big, and yesterday he saw that there were green buds on the young branches, and why they were still the same today. Hatefully poured a soak of urine on the roots of the tree, this damn old elm tree, once again disappointed.

Look at the locust trees on both sides of the road, take a sip of saliva, compared to elm money, locust flowers are really delicious, take a handful of white locust flowers and brown rice and put them together to steam, that sweet taste can be transmitted to the market, but unfortunately, the locust tree will not bloom until April, and now it is still a bare branch, there is nothing on it.

The dust raised by fast horses is always so annoying, and Chang'an City in spring, if it doesn't rain, is always gray.

The knight jumped off his horse, carried a bucket of paste in his hand, dipped it in the paste with a pen, brushed it twice on the wall, and then took out a piece of paper from the bamboo tube on the horse's back, pasted it on the wall, looked up and down and saw that the paste was good, so he stepped on the horse and ran to the next target.

There are more than one or two such knights, there are them everywhere, but they do the same job, which is to brush paste, stickers.

This is fresh, Chang'an City has posted notices at the gate of the city except for the government. Then there are two pictures of Jiangyang thieves, who has ever seen someone paste expensive paper all over the city. There are still words written on it, and I don't know any of them, isn't this a person who is in a hurry to die.

If there is a good thing, the owner of the grocery store is immediately called out, and the neighborhood counts him as a good scholar, who has a red and white wedding event, and he is missing that time.

The grocery store clerk coughed twice. Clear your throat and prepare to read it out loud, so as to show off your knowledge, who knows. As soon as he saw what was written on it, he immediately covered his mouth and ran back to the grocery store with a thud. got on the baffle, closed the door, and didn't even do business.

Seeing that the grocery store shopkeeper looked like a frightened donkey, the neighborhood was even more anxious, not knowing what was written on it, could it be that the government was going to collect taxes on the city by capitation again? There are different opinions, and there is no clue for a while, Fang Zheng and Wuhou are now reporting to Jin Wuwei's errand officials, and they can't find anyone who can read and break words for a while.

A scribe in a round-necked robe approached, and at first glance he was a scholar of his studies. The old man stepped forward to greet him with his fists, and the young man was also easy to talk, so he came to the bottom of the list without saying a word, glanced at it and said to the surrounding neighbors: "There are thieves in Chang'an City, and they like to use people to make candles." It's the kind of funnel that inserts into people's mouths, pours boiling wax oil into people's stomachs, scalds them to death, and then inserts wicks and uses them as candles. Maybe the thief made the child into a candle and used it at night.

Before the scribe had finished speaking, someone grabbed the scribe and asked who the thief was. His children have been lost for two years, the scribe told him, this matter, no one found out, but was Lantian Hou found a statue in the Dou family in Xinghuafang, take a closer look at this candle He also knows, it turned out to be a singer in Pingkangfang on the edge of the East Market, called Luzhu, two days ago I watched her dance, who knew that it would become a candle in the blink of an eye, of course Hou Ye was not happy, so he posted a notice to warn the neighbors to be careful about their children and daughters, don't be deceived by others to make a candle, he himself went to Chang'an County to complain, Justice for that poor woman. …,

As soon as the scribe finished speaking, he bowed his hand and prepared to leave, and when he left, he warned the neighbors to be careful of their daughters and children, and looked at the neighbors who were crying and crying and left with a sigh.

After crossing the street corner, he took out a pinch of mustache from his sleeve and stuck it to his lips, turned to the next street corner, and continued to explain to the neighbors who did not know the truth......

The child who was still drooling at the elm tree just now was immediately dragged home by his mother, and he was slapped several times on the ass before he heard his mother tell him about the tragic story of the Dou family making the child a candle, and the frightened child couldn't even cry, and drilled into his mother's arms.

The children who were originally running around in Chang'an City are gone, and the young girls who like to go shopping are gone, and some of them have to come out as a last resort, and they are in a hurry like being chased by wolves, looking left and right like thieves.

When the sun came to the west, people finally breathed a sigh of relief, some smart people thought that this was another family of people who were messing around, ready to go home and release the children who had been locked in the house for a day to breathe, who would have thought that the Marquis of the Yun family really took the paper to Chang'an County to complain, from the east to the west, most of the people in Chang'an City saw this, righteous and thin, chivalrous and courageous, and went to Chang'an County Ya with a face of vicissitudes.

Obviously, the county lord stood at the gate of the yamen to greet him, but he wanted to beat the bells and drums on both sides of the county ya. Before the people complain, they always have to ring the bell and drum to urge the lazy old man to go to the court to handle the case, this rule has been in place since the Han Dynasty, Yun Ye has no chance to knock on this thing, if he has a grievance, he usually asks the emperor to solve it, but today he is wearing regular clothes, and he is destined to only conduct his own judicial process in the way of the people.

There is no way for the people to sue the officials, and if the people sue the officials first, even if the lawsuit is won, the spine will be eighty, and the exile will not be less than one mile, and the exile of three thousand miles will definitely not be one mile less. Looking back at the large group of Chang'an citizens behind him, there was a smile on the corner of Yun Ye's mouth, the Dou family, the Dou family will be drowned in this wave.

Chang'an County Ling Zuo Kui has never hated himself as much as he does today, standing at the gate of the county ya, watching the Hou Ye beat the urging drum, that is not beating the drum, that is urging life.

The county magistrate, the county lieutenant, also has a face like earth, yesterday evening, the people of the Dou family sued them, if Yun Ye came to sue, if they dared to accept the paper, the best fate of their whole family was to be assigned to Lingnan.

Yun Ye sat in the county hall drinking a bowl of yogurt, leisurely watching the three officials looking at their appearance, they had to look, and they had to take it, Yun Ye saw Hong Cheng standing on the side of the court wearing the clothes of the officials, dozing off with a bamboo cane against the solemn big sign.

It's nothing to kill a cheap singer, and the criminal law only stipulates a fine of copper and a cane, and the heaviest punishment is only a one-year punishment. The affairs of the beloved are too busy, and who has the kung fu to take care of the affairs of the sluts, so the government has always turned a blind eye to this kind of thing.

Who knows, if you walk a lot at night, you will meet ghosts sooner or later, maybe it is the unjust soul of the slut who has accumulated too much resentment in Chang'an, and finally gave birth to a big incident of a marquis suing the national government for abuse and murder, the crime is very peculiar, a crime against humanity, and I can't find such a strange crime through the laws of the Tang Dynasty.

Lin Kui gritted his teeth and said to Yun Ye: "Yun Hou, since the promulgation of the "Law of Martial Virtue" in the seventh year of Wude, my Tang Dynasty has never had this crime against humanity. ”

"Since ancient times, the laws have been formulated to correct the behavioral norms of the people of the world, and the law of severe punishment is used to tell us that those things can be done, those things cannot be done, since the Qin Dynasty, the way of forgiveness has been implemented in it, and the harsh punishments are becoming less and less, and those cruel corporal punishments in history are now only floggings and boards in my Tang Dynasty, the five horses are gone, the palace punishment is gone, the punishment of gouging out the eyes and cutting the tongue is gone, and even the rebellion of the head of the ten evils is just the beheading of the main culprit, his father, The crime of the son and nephew was reduced by one degree, and the sentence was hanged and the whole body was left. …,

It can be seen that the intention of the imperial court to establish the law is to educate the people not to break the law, to punish the former and the latter, and to educate and save people, not to force a good person to be exiled, to behead him, who likes to make things bloody. Just last year, even in the year of the catastrophe, weren't there only twenty-seven criminals who were beheaded in my Datang?

Why? This is a sign of the coming prosperity of the times, in the border pass our dynasty to pacify the Turks, capture Jieli alive, in the court and the people of the government have made great contributions, on the one hand, to supply and demand food, grass and ordnance for the army in front, on the other hand, to provide food for those people who have suffered disasters, lest they freeze and starve to death.

Now that spring has arrived, my Datang is about to usher in a new year, we are all gearing up to work hard for the upcoming prosperous era, so that we all have a good life, we have wise monarchs, brave soldiers, wise officials, hard-working people, why can't we have a good life? ”

The people of the Tang Dynasty had never heard the speech, although Yun Ye himself had been disgusted by his own words, but the officials behind the case, the people at the Yamen, when they heard the declaration about the coming of the prosperous era for the first time, were all indignant, and even Hong Cheng, who was dozing off somewhere, widened his eyes, as if he knew Yun Ye for the first time.

As soon as Yun Ye's words stopped, the people applauded, the main body today was them, Yun Ye turned around and shouted hoarsely in front of the crowding people: "In this good day of spring and Jingming, there are always some unknown disgusting things happening. It was the Dou family who lived in Xinghuafang, and in order to vent their anger, they made a fifteen-year-old woman into human wax.

A person from the croaking to the ground, to grow into an adult, how many tribulations to go through, how much effort parents need to pay, we all have the deepest love to imagine that after their children grow up, men can glorify their ancestors, women can marry a good family, happy life, who would want their children to become candles? Sue me, who wants their children to be candles? There are very few people in my Tang Dynasty, there are only a few million people on the territory of Nuoda, and every time Your Majesty worships the sky, he will sincerely pray for the prosperity of the people in the world, and the reproduction of six animals, and what are you doing in the Dou family, you are taking care of people's lives!

Dou family, how forbearant you are, we will be full of compassion when we see an injured puppy, why don't you pay attention to the poor woman's pleading, ignore where she cries and begs for mercy? Why did you bear to pour hot wax oil into that woman's belly? Where is the reason of heaven, where is the heart of your Dou family? Wanshi family, poetry heirloom, I bah! ”

With Yun Ye's mouthful of spit, the angry people of Chang'an spit out in the direction of Xinghuafang. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to (.) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation. )
