In front of everyone's eyes, the woman who was regarded by him as an object to show off her "manhood" gritted her teeth, and her tears became more and more turbulent.

Heng Yu clenched his fingers when he heard this.

She probably understood.

In the "Edict on the Auspicious Time for Marriage" issued by the imperial court not long ago, there are regulations for those men or widowers whose families are poor and have missed the age of marriage, and appoint lowly women as wives.

Because they are lowly statuses, these women have no choice or refusal, and can only be arranged by arrangement.

At first, when she heard about this regulation in Beijing, she felt uncomfortable, but now that she has seen it with her own eyes, she realizes that the disadvantages are too great.

These men who are too old to marry a wife, except for those who are disabled, are most likely lazy people or have bad character, and it is a problem to support themselves with such goods, where do they have the qualifications to marry a wife?

And the posture that if you marry someone back, you can kill at will-

Heng Yu forcibly suppressed the anger surging in his heart, looked at the man and said: "You have a wrong sentence, since she is married to you, she is no longer a lowly person, but a good citizen." ”

This is the so-called amnesty of the imperial court, according to the rules of the good and the low, the good and the low can not intermarry, and this amnesty gives the grace of the untouchable woman who marries the lover and can sell the lowly status.

But for the woman in front of her, is this really a grace?

"Even if she is stained with Lao Tzu's light and becomes a good citizen!" The man said fearlessly: "Could it be that if I hit her twice, she can still go to the government to sue me?" ”

Seeing that there were more and more onlookers, the man who enjoyed this attention became more and more carried away, bent down and grabbed the woman's hair, forced her to raise her head, and asked, "Do you have the courage to go to the official mansion?" The wife sues the husband, that is to go to jail! ”

The woman clenched her teeth and wept, looked in the direction of Hengyu, and shook her head gently. There is gratitude in the bottom of the eyes, but more despair.

Heng Yu understood that this lady was asking her not to worry about this matter anymore, because she knew very well that she couldn't escape, and she didn't even dare to think about anything else.

If a husband beats his wife, others cannot intervene, and if the wife does not sue, the official will not be prosecuted.

But if the wife sues her husband, even if it is true, it will be two years in prison. In the end, the husband may only be beaten a few times, but the beaten wife will go to jail.

To put it bluntly - yes, it's wrong for your husband to beat you, you can sue him, but if you sue him, you need to go to jail.

Therefore, what can be accused of being abused and beaten against the husband is completely false, and is the person who made this law a contradiction and inadvertently omission?

No, legislators are well aware of what this means, they are more sober and hypocritical than anyone else.

But this ridiculous ordinance, which is unfair to women everywhere, is clearly written in the law of Dasheng, and there is not even any loophole to exploit.

"It's better to leave other people's family affairs alone......"

"How can there be a husband and wife who do not quarrel?"

"I can't slap a slap, maybe it's ......"

"That is, we don't know the inside story, so let the couple go home and solve it on their own."

"It's hard for Qing officials to cut off family affairs, so don't get involved with the little lady." A man shook his head beside Hengyu and said.

Gigi was angry when he heard this: "It's clear that you are the mud!" If you don't help, forget it, and talk coolly! People are like this, what kind of family affair is this? ”

"Stinky, don't embarrass me here! Walk! Listening to the sound of the four voices, the man seemed to be more emboldened, and slapped the woman in the face.

The woman was beaten so that blood flowed from her nose, and she got up with a shudder, and the shoe on one foot was lost somewhere, and there were scars on the bare instep.

"I guess my little seventeen must still be in charge."

In a teahouse opposite Jingshui Building, Yan Jin, who was eating tea at the window on the second floor, looked at the situation on the street and said to the servant beside him in a firm tone.

The woman followed the man and was about to leave.

The onlookers dispersed a lot, and for most people, it was just an ordinary and visible bustle.

Hengyu couldn't treat this matter as a so-called hilariousness at all.

In the northland of October, the wind was bitterly cold, and the thin back of the slender woman wearing only a coarse cloth dress looked very thin, and she walked behind the man, as if she might fall again in the next moment.

And after falling, what awaits her will inevitably be punches and kicks.

"Wait!"

Hengyu suddenly spoke.

The back froze, and he turned back a little slowly, and in a pair of eyes that had been worn out by life, there was clearly a trace of unspeakable expectation, just like the last bit of ember.

"Is the lady willing to die with this person?" Heng Yu asked.

"Righteousness...... Righteousness? The woman muttered, not seeming to understand what it meant.

Hengyu: "There is a rule in the Dasheng Law that if a husband beats his wife and causes serious injury, the wife can go to the government to ask for a forced dissolution of the marital relationship. ”

When the woman heard this, there was some expression on her face, and she was unsure; "But I'm a lowly ......"

There are no human rights to the lowly, and the law often does not justice them.

"If you marry him, you are a good person. Since it is a good book now, it is naturally applicable as well! Hengyu looked at her and asked again, "Is the lady willing?" ”

"I ......"

Before the woman could answer, the man sharply interrupted: "Don't listen to her nonsense! Wife sues husband? Don't even think about it! ”

Heng Yu said coldly: "Who said they were going to sue you?" This lady just went to the government to ask for a sentence of righteousness, not to sue the government for punishment for your atrocity. ”

Although it was too cheap to let this person go, this was the only "loophole" she could think of.

In this way, at least we can help this lady get out of the fire.

But in the end, it also depends on whether this lady can make up her mind.

"Don't you think about it!" The man seemed to be a little panicked, grabbed the woman's arm tightly, and threatened: "If you dare to break off with me, you will return to your cheap nationality and be your cheap slave!" Don't want to be a person for the rest of your life! ”

"So what! How did you treat me as a human being? The woman raised her voice suddenly, stopped her tears, and plucked up the courage to say: "Even if you go back to the mine, it is better than facing your disgusting face all day!" Bah! ”

"You little slut is still spitting on me! Looks like I'm still light! Heng Yu was about to signal Ji Ji to step forward, when Yu saw Meng Dazhu striding over, he grabbed Ji Ji's hand.

It couldn't be better to let Meng Dazhu come forward.

Meng Dazhu, who was kicked in the ass by his own general, grabbed the man's raised wrist.

Although it was instructed by the general, he couldn't get used to this incompetent person who could only bully women!

The man was anxious and annoyed at this time, and the wrist that was grabbed by the young man hurt so much that he immediately scolded: "Which son of a bitch did you raise!" Be nosy! ”

"Okay, you dare to scold him?!" Ji Ji almost jumped up and said: "He is a lieutenant under the Marquis of Dingbei, and he has an official position!" What do you mean by insulting officials, girl? ”

"Insulting officials below the sixth grade, ninety rods."

Meng Dazhu couldn't react when he heard it—huh? Is he still of such use?
