After a while, when the rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs in the hands of those onlookers were almost thrown away, the old patriarch made a gesture to stop.

The two middle-aged men standing beside him immediately understood what the patriarch meant, walked to the pig cage, lifted the black veil on it, and then lifted the cage and walked towards the edge of the pond.

Only then did the big guy see the woman's face, and although she was already in disarray, she was still a young woman with a sign of appearance, and her age was no more than twenty years old.

She herself seemed to sense that her life was coming to an end, so she began to struggle desperately in the cage, but the rope on her body was too tightly bound to break free.

Wei Shu saw all this in his eyes and his heart thumped, if in her original world, this woman should still be in college, and a good life has just begun.

But it was so miserable in a different time and space, and it was also at this moment that she realized very clearly that the rise and fall of this society, or the change of dynasties, has always been a matter for men.

Except for a few women, most women are like untouchables, who are not only exploited by this society, but also suffer from the oppression and brainwashing of the patriarchal society.

At the very moment when the widow was about to be thrown into the pond, a deep voice suddenly appeared in the crowd.

In order to prevent anyone from recognizing himself as a man, Wei Shu deliberately lowered his voice.

"Stop!"

The two men carrying the cage stopped, looking at Wei Shu with unkind eyes.

The eyes of countless doubles around her fell on her, hoping to see a hole in her.

"It's... Could it be the adulterer? Someone still made associations about her relationship with the widow.

But there are also people who like to reason, touched their chins and said, "But... It doesn't look like it, although this boy is born well, but he is too young. ”

"Heh, what do you know? Now some people like the small ones..."

Wei Shu walked out, she naturally heard the discussion of others, stood upright, and made a junior salute to the old patriarch.

And the old patriarch's cloudy eyes were also looking at her.

"Old sir, the younger generation is so polite, just passing by here, seeing the crowd noisy, he came to see the excitement, dare to ask sir, what mistake did that woman make to be treated like this?"

The old patriarch snorted coldly, "This is our family matter, and it's not your turn to ask a hairy boy, and there is no need to explain it to outsiders." ”

"Hehehe... This is strange, you treat a powerless woman in broad daylight, and attract everyone to watch with great fanfare, but in the end you say that this is your family matter, so who dare to ask Mr. who is this woman? “

Wei Shu suddenly burst out laughing, his eyes swept over those people coldly, and found that they were all watching the excitement, and everyone was watching all this coldly.

The woman in the cage is a living being, why do these people have such a disregard for life?

The old patriarch said confidently, "I am the patriarch of the Chen clan, this daughter is the widow of Sun Chen Hai of my clan, widowed for three years but does not abide by the woman's way, which is detrimental to the archway of chastity, I am today for the face of the Chen family to dispose of its sinking pond." ”

After the old patriarch finished speaking, he felt that his words should be very weighty, and glanced at Wei Shu again, but saw that she was covering her lips and chuckling.

Immediately said angrily, "This is a family matter within my clan, could it be that you, a yellow-mouthed child, also have to get involved, so the old man has to ask, what is your relationship with this Liu family?" ”

When the people who eat melons hear the old patriarch say this, it is difficult not to think about it, and many people have already gone in the direction of the young man in front of him is a widow.

Wei Shu still looked indifferent, and said indifferently, "This is strange, I have also read some books in the younger generation, and I probably understand the laws of Daqin, and I vaguely remember that the thirteenth article of the law of Daqin clearly states that those who commit the death penalty, injure people's lives, burn and loot, steal cattle, young sons, etc., will be punished according to the law of Daqin.

But it is up to the local government to carry out the trial, I wonder what position you have to put this woman to death? Could it be that it is not illegal to kill people who are over 70 years old by relying on the laws of Great Qin? ”

Hahaha...

The onlookers couldn't help but be amused by her words.

Seeing that the old patriarch's face was blue and white for a while, the big guys were afraid that he would be angry all of a sudden.

"You yellow-mouthed child, why are you so nosy with the private affairs of my clan? According to the law of the country, the Liu family really did not deserve to die, originally she could marry after her husband died, but her in-laws had already set up a chastity archway for her, she could not remarry, but this woman actually fornicated with a wild man in private, and killed and refused to say who the person was, we also have no way to do this, according to the family law even the government can not control! ”

The ancients usually followed two laws, one is the national law and the other is the family law, and there are often some things that the national law cannot control, but they can be dealt with with by the family law.

This is probably the same as the equality of men and women in the 21st century, saying that abortion is not allowed, and there is no preference for sons.

But in fact, in the eighties and nineties of the twentieth century, how many baby girls were killed by their own families before they had time to look at this world.

What is advertised on the surface and what is actually done are often different, and this is the case of the widow sinking in the pond today.

In terms of national law, this widow fornicating with a man was to be removed by the government from the archway of chastity, in addition to some moral accusations.

It's nothing else, after all, people don't commit adultery, and men and women love after being widowed.

But the clansmen of the Chen family do not think so, in this era, people are extremely optimistic about chastity, if there is a woman who can clean herself after being widowed, she has a chastity archway that is the face of the whole clan.

And this Widow Liu's behavior is tantamount to smearing the face of the clan, how can they tolerate her?

Wei Shu understood that everyone present felt that this widow should die, both men and women, with different starting points.

The look in the cage's eyes gradually darkened after a fruitless struggle, and people often felt that death might really be a relief when they were in complete despair.

Widow Liu felt this in her heart at the moment, and she had even begun to feel that even if she could survive, it would be absolutely difficult to have a foothold, and it would be better to die a hundred times.

Thinking like this, his face calmed down, and he curled up in the pig cage, his eyes empty like a bystander.

At this moment, a two-wheeled carriage slowly stopped on the road outside the crowd, with brocade as a curtain and a silver roof as a dome.

Due to the topography, you can see what is happening in the crowd from the position of the carriage, and the road in front of the carriage has been blocked.

"Young master, there are a lot of people in front, why don't we take a detour, although it is a little farther away." Xuan'an, who was driving outside, suggested.
