Separated by a wall, the second room of the big house was eating lively, and the scolding of several men could be heard in the main room.

Shan Tao and the others ate and listened carefully, and Dafang was on the side to help explain the battle situation.

There were three brothers from Shiya Village, the second was a widower who bought Shan Chunhua, and the other two were his cousins.

Where did Du Shi know where Shan Chunhua was, and the three of them didn't believe that they didn't know it, and in the end, they would either lose people or money.

"My sister is married to your family, and now that the person is missing, she should report to the official, what are you looking for us to do?" Shan Saburo, who failed in the county test, was at home, and he was angry in his heart, "We haven't looked for you yet." ”

"Married into my family? Phew! I haven't seen any seller in Shi Lao, your sister was bought by me for real money, if you are obedient and be a daughter-in-law, it is okay, if you are disobedient, it is a dog of my Shi family. Shi Lao Er took a sip, "What about reporting to the official, the marriage customs in our village have passed the Ming Road." Hurry up, no one will give money! ”

Du relied on the money from the sale of Shan Chunhua to barely maintain Shan Saburo's previous daily expenses, where was he willing to take out the money, and finally said that the three of them were appeased, and promised to help find Shan Chunhua.

Wen Xianling, who was stunned, put down the dishes and chopsticks, a chill appeared in his eyes, listening to the words of Shi Lao Er next door, Shiya Village because of the imbalance between men and women, marrying daughters-in-law and buying and selling, but the official master crossed the Ming Road, and he, the official master, didn't know at all.

According to the laws of the Mu Dynasty, a woman must be married only after she has reached the age of marriage, and it is not illegal to marry with a large amount of money in the marriage.

Before the division of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there were several empresses, and during their reigns, they had many trade-offs against the laws and regulations that disregarded women.

Even if she is married, a woman, as a child of the Mu Dynasty, should not be beaten and scolded at will, driven like a slave, because the household registration is a good citizen.

"Shiya Village is located in a remote area, and the previous Gao County Commander has not been in office for a long time, so I am afraid that I have not personally visited it, but the previous generations always knew about the situation in Shiya Village." After eating, Wen Xian Ling paced back and forth in the hall, "Shi Lao Er is a farmer, and most of the words he can say are true......

Because Sanzhu was studying, and this time the matter was related to people's livelihood, he was left here to listen, but he was too young and at a loss.

Shan Tao said the key in one sentence, "If the government knows about the trip to buy a wife and does not teach it, it can only be because this matter is beneficial to the official, because the population is ......."

In the tenure assessment of the county order, people's livelihood is the key, and the most important thing is the population, and the more the number of people in the jurisdiction increases, the more beneficial, so early marriage and more children are encouraged.

At the beginning of the new dynasty, officials from all over the country were full of energy to climb up, and it was inevitable to take some shortcuts.

"They are lazy, but it is the ......lives of these innocent women," Wen Xian Ling clenched his fists, "That Shi Lao Er once married two wives, saying that he couldn't stand him beating and scolding and fled, but Shiya Village is in a difficult and dangerous situation, if it wasn't for me and Brother Shan's cooperation that day, the mountain girl would not have been able to escape alone." ”

The two so-called runaway wives were sold by their families, and there is no way to know where to go, whether they are alive or dead.

"Since those women can't escape and can't get to the court, then the court can move them up the cliff."
