Chapter 719

The 60th dragon scale (12)

No one knows what Mr. Yixiao is thinking. Ding Lan's question is enlightening. Not all men regard women as objects. Some of the officials in the audience have been with their wives for many years, and some love their daughters as their lives. They also thought about how their favorite pearl will be in the future, so they racked their brains to find the right husband for their daughter. As fathers, they are naturally willing to raise their daughter for a lifetime, but they don't get married after 15. It's not allowed in this world.

As he said, women's life is just an object from their father to their husband. As parents and husbands, they have the right to do anything to women. As long as this name exists, the law can't blame them.

Ding LAN hated this.

She doesn't want to be a great person. She just hopes that when she has the ability, she can change the world a little more.

Linglong gets up first. She feels bored. What's left is these human things, which have nothing to do with her.

When she wanted to leave, the officials would not stay. Before she left, she said to Mr. Yixiao, "Sir, it's better to think about it."

After Mr. Yixiao saluted the emperor, he sat down on the bench and didn't know what he was thinking. In fact, he has traveled abroad for many years and met many folk people. Compared with the noble nobles with three wives and four concubines, most folk men and women are monogamous. Mr. Yixiao doesn't think it's necessary to take concubines when his stomach is full, but he always feels that it's natural for men to want to take concubines.

He once saw a fierce woman in a village. She tore her man's ears. It was said that the man made a few money outside and couldn't stop thinking when he came back. She wanted to take a concubine. Naturally, the woman didn't want to, so she chased the man for a while. The scene was very indecent. At that time, Mr. Xiao said that his woman should be virtuous and gentle, but the woman almost beat him!

Rural women don't know what to do. Smile, sir. Anyway, the old man doesn't like to talk and encourages her men to take concubines. She beat the old man together!

Mr. Yixiao said that it was difficult to raise only women and villains, and ran away.

This is just a trivial matter in his many years of experience, but I don't know why, but I haven't forgotten it for many years. Perhaps it is because the tears in the eyes of the fierce woman when she chased her man are very much like the daughter who wrote a letter but accidentally dropped her tears on the stationery that year.

His daughter.

He's been dead for almost fifteen years.

Mr. Yixiao is getting older and his memory is getting worse. He feels that he should have forgotten his daughter's appearance, but in fact, he can clearly remember the shape of the tooth gap when she changed her teeth and smiled at him when she was young.

It was once a pearl on his palm and a small person who swayed with milk and milk. When he smiled, he remembered in a trance that his daughter didn't seem to have the same temperament as later when she was young.

She is his greatest pride.

It is the perfect woman he cultivated. No matter whether she is a lover, or her character and temperament, she can't find a fault. He taught his daughter according to her ideal appearance, and she didn't disappoint him. She really grew into a good appearance. Then he found a talented and promising husband for her. She became the prime minister's wife, becoming more noble and dignified, and is the object of countless noble girls in the capital.

But she's dead.

He died young.

When Mrs. Pei died, Linglong was two years old. She was just able to talk and walk, but she was very early. As soon as she smiled, Mr. Peixiang said to Peixiang that she wanted to bring her granddaughter around for several years. Peixiang naturally didn't dare to refuse, but he received his granddaughter. When he smiled, Mr. Peixiang found that this little guy was completely different from her mother. He was not clever and sensible at all. No matter how he taught her, she would face him.

Even now, Linglong has not grown into what Mr. Yixiao hopes. She is not only not virtuous and gentle, but also very willful and arrogant. I don't know what humility is. Mr. Yixiao is often angry. Once upon a time, Mr. Yixiao felt that he was ashamed of his daughter under Jiuquan for not teaching his granddaughter well, but today, he was suddenly uncertain.

Because he saw "life" from Linglong, Ding LAN, Lvqiao and even the little girls of the Ministry of punishment.

It's not like her daughter's step-by-step calm like water, but free, fresh and has her own will.

As Ding LAN asked, can a father control his daughter's fate? Is it Ho's fault that he's defiled? Isn't it the culprit who defiled her running? Didn't you frame her stepmother? Not a whitewashed father? What's wrong with Ho?

Why did the victim not get justice, but the perpetrator got his wish and lived better? If everyone is like this, what axioms are there in the world?

Ding LAN likes to talk with data. Since Mr. Yixiao wants to stay in the Ministry of punishment for a few days, she sorted out the files of these years with her disciples, held them to Mr. Yixiao and let him read them by himself.

In these files, there are many dead women. Most of them are women, wives and daughter-in-law. It is the father, mother, husband and mother-in-law who control their fate. These women are like puppets. From birth to death, this short and hurried life comes to an end.

Ding LAN is a human person. When she re examines these files, she will mark some information next to the names of the dead.

For example, Fahrenheit, who was beaten to death by her husband, had a good needlework, good at embroidery, beautiful appearance, but loved spicy food;

Wang, who threw herself into the river because she had no son and was rejected by her mother's family, loved to kick shuttlecock with her girlfriends when she was a girl;

As a widow defiled by scoundrels, the government did not accept the death of the hanging beam. Qian, known as tofu Xi Shi, relied on this good skill to feed a pair of starving children and elderly parents-in-law. When she died, the whole family was scattered;

Hua Niang Taohong, who murdered more than a dozen men by cruel means, was sold into the GouLan courtyard by her biological father at the age of five and received guests at the age of eight. She was tortured and humiliated in it. She was very cruel when she committed the murder. When she ate the broken head meal, she asked the jailer to buy her a sugar gourd - her brother was held by her father when she was young. She swallowed her saliva and wanted to lick the sugar coat off the table, But she was slapped by her father and half of her ears were deaf. Later, she became a flower mother. With silver, she never bought sugar gourd

These files are piled into a thick hill, opposite to another pile.

In the third year of Chengwu, Hao Dashan, a peddler, was drunk and raped his sister-in-law. After waking up, he was afraid that his deeds would be exposed. He strangled his sister-in-law and sentenced him to three months' imprisonment;

In June of the third year of Chengwu, Lou Zhi, the escort escort, saw that the rich lady escorted by him was beautiful, so he went astray. Later, the young lady was forced to marry him. Two years after marriage, she died depressed;

In the fifth year of Chengwu, the local ruffian Wang Xiaolai spread rumors that there were three red moles on the daughter's chest of Zhu Yuanwai's family in the town. Zhu Yuanwai expressed his family style and sank his daughter into the pool. The government recognized that it was a family dispute and refused to accept it. Wang Xiaolai withdrew all over. Later, Ding LAN tried again. This man confessed that he only drank two more cups of yellow soup with his friends and boasted that he could marry a daughter, He made up his mind to Miss Zhu. Unexpectedly, member Zhu was so cruel that he would rather sink his daughter than marry him. When he confessed, he smiled and talked without regret;

In December of the sixth year of Chengwu, a family in Yansi County under the rule of Chengzhou was killed. The murderer was Zeng fan, the son-in-law of the door. Just because he couldn't stand being laughed at by others for his soft food, he vowed to be looked up to and ruthlessly killed his wife, children and parents-in-law. He was sentenced to ten years

Every time he turned over a file, Mr. Xiao's face turned pale. He couldn't read it anymore after reading half of it.

Ding LAN came in from the outside and saw the magnificent old man sitting there like the frosted eggplant, dejected and spiritless.

She knocked at the door, "sir."

There was also Lvqiao with her. She held a pile of files in her hand. There were not many other files in the criminal department, but there were many files. The old man couldn't finish reading them.

Mr. Yixiao slowly raised his head and asked, "Why are there so many cases? Why didn't I hear of it before? "

Ding LAN answered softly, "because in the past, no one thought it was anything."

Mr. Yixiao was stunned.

Lvqiao said, "Sir, if Lord Ding had not served in the criminal department, you would never want to see these files. It's good to think so, isn't it? At least these things that no one mentioned before, Lord Ding dug them out and presented them openly to the world. "

"Sir, I'm afraid I don't know. In my first year in the Ministry of punishment alone, how many similar cases have been suppressed by the lower government. Officials think it's a trivial matter and can't be brought to the table. But Sir, if the death of an ordinary people is not on the table, who will the officials rule in the future? "

"Sir, I don't know. Most of the adults of the Ministry of justice are honest and upright. Although they can't accept me and Lord Ding as officials at the beginning, they can get along peacefully after long-term contact. However, the quality and ability of captors are uneven in the government offices of the three law departments, and then in the county government offices and towns. Many people fish in troubled waters and fish in the power of the government offices, and those people who have suffered injustice, I dare not sue at all. You can look at a case in Feizhou in April of the eighth year of Chengwu. "

Mr. Xiao found the files, which were arranged according to the year and month, and made bookmarks. It was easy to find them at a glance.

These files were also improved after Ding LAN came to the Ministry of punishment. At the beginning, in order to turn over an old case, she stayed in the Archives Library of the Ministry of punishment for seven days before she found what she wanted from the mountain and sea like files. When she had leisure time, she took the people of the Ministry of punishment to classify the files, found craftsmen to make simple folders, and then found the files, which was many times more convenient than before!

The case mentioned by Lvqiao took place in April of the eighth year of Chengwu, but the deceased was not a woman, but a man!

It turned out that the scholar surnamed sun had a brilliant talent since he was young. His family worked hard for him to study. He became a scholar at a young age and was recommended by his teacher to study in qingluan Academy in Feizhou. Sun Shusheng is not only knowledgeable, but also good-looking. The file records that he looks like a crown of jade and has a great temperament, but he is such a talented scholar, but he was ruined by the son of the head of the academy because of his humble origin and outstanding birth.

The scholar is arrogant and unwilling to be convinced, but the government doesn't accept his case at all. In the laws of this dynasty, there is no law on how to deal with the sentence if a man is defiled!

Sun Shusheng couldn't get justice. He didn't speak to his relatives at home. The son of the head of the mountain was lustful again. He sent people outside to publicize that sun Shusheng was raped by a man's chicken, and there was no end of foul language, trying to force sun Shusheng to obey.

Sun Shusheng pretended to be obedient, killed his enemy with a hidden knife, and then committed suicide.

The mountain leader was so angry that he didn't allow sun Shusheng's family to collect his body and let him expose the body in the wilderness. Due to the Revenge of killing his son, he secretly sent someone to enter the house as a robber and killed sun Shusheng's family.

Unexpectedly, there was a little girl in the family. She went to her aunt's house in the town that day and escaped the robbery. She knew her brother's temperament and didn't want to believe that he would kill for no reason. She didn't believe that her poor family could attract more than ten robber gangs, but she didn't believe in the officials of the prefecture government. However, she sued for many years and suffered countless hardships, and no one was willing to stand up for her.

It was not until Ding LAN served in the Ministry of punishment and it was said all over the world that she came to the capital and begged Ding LAN to be the master.

In order to solve this old case, Ding LAN almost turned upside down day and night and couldn't sleep. Fortunately, the result was satisfactory. He returned sun Shusheng's innocence. The reputation of qingluan Academy was ruined. The mountain leader was sentenced to beheading for murder. The sister of the sun family, who was nearly 30, was finally able to bury her brother's clothes in her ancestral grave. Only because sun Shusheng's body was discarded in the random burial post and pecked by wild animals and birds, I can't tell which skeleton is him.

People are innocent, but the amazing sun Shusheng can never come back.

"People with status, power and reputation can trample people who are inferior to themselves into the dust at will. That's the case with class. But I think we can't all be equal now. We should also pay attention to the laws and regulations. The official family once said that the son of heaven breaks the law and commits the same crime as the common people. I believe the official family is a wise king and I am willing to serve the official family, but Sir, with my own strength, It's too hard. "

Ding LAN stepped forward and bowed 90 degrees to Mr. Yixiao. Lvqiao also imitated her appearance. They bowed deeply. Then Ding Lan said sincerely and seriously: "I want to ask you, sir, to help me for the sake of these innocent people who died miserably and those who are about to die. Your words are better than the painstaking efforts of many people! "

"Even if it's not a day's work to change the status quo, we should start today and now! I believe the queen thinks so. "

Empress... Mr. smile looked blankly. It was his granddaughter, but he didn't want to recognize his granddaughter at all.

Ding LAN knows that it is impossible to persuade the stubborn and stereotyped Mr. Yixiao at once, but at present, Mr. Yixiao has not refused, which proves that there is a possibility of success.

She is willing to be driven by the empress and to complete all the things that the empress asks herself to do. Ding LAN didn't know what it was to die for a confidant before, but now she knows.

God let her come here through thousands of years, not just to let her fall in love, marry a child, be a good wife and mother, and live a sweet life - Ding LAN found the meaning of life here.

She is busy with a new case these days.

He, who killed his husband before, was exempted from capital punishment and sentenced to one month's imprisonment.

He had nowhere to go. She looked around blankly, but saw the female criminal officer coming not far away. She quickly saluted. The female adult asked her, "Miss He, I know you have nowhere to go. Do you want to join us? You are knowledgeable and polite, full of poetry and books, and gentle. There is a lack of a gentleman like you in our women's school. "

He was stunned.

Later, when she went to women's school, she saw those young faces and met a group of like-minded friends. Her character was gradually cheerful and optimistic. The past was like a cloud, which could no longer make her painful. Even her kinship was cut off because of this life and death.

Ding LAN is very busy every day, but soon she welcomes a new helper.

When she saw the little queen of the Ministry of punishment dressed in men's clothes, her mouth opened indecently into a huge circle: "empress! Why are you here! Where are the officials? "

Can the officials be willing to let the little queen out alone? Didn't you sneak out again?! Holding the grass, Ding LAN has a hunch that she will work overtime crazily in the future. The officials are careful

Linglong took out the gold medal engraved with "if I come in person" and shook it. "What are you afraid of him doing?"

Ding LAN doesn't like kneeling ceremony. Except when necessary, she basically hugs her fists and bows. Linglong doesn't care about these empty ones. Anyway, it doesn't matter whether she likes people big or small. Only those who make her unhappy must kneel.

After half a column of incense, Ding LAN finally understood that the officials were really willing to let the little queen come out to experience!

In addition, the officials also sent a group of dark guards to the little queen. These dark guards have high martial arts and are well-trained. They can be used to investigate the case! Coupled with the identity of the little queen, hey, with her, Ding LAN feels like she has brought a plug-in. She doesn't have to worry about being unable to check if she has a higher official position than herself! Don't worry that the captains of the criminal department are not fast enough!

To Ding Lan's surprise, the little queen is extremely smart, and she won't vomit at the disgusting scene. It's not very promising!

With Linglong's participation, the case is solved as fast as opening and hanging up

The officials have been busy revising the law recently. They basically don't have time to accompany Linglong. He also handed over the power of the internal ministry originally under the jurisdiction of father Mao to Linglong. Father Mao has been with Linglong longer than the officials. It's just that amending the law matters a lot. How to change it, how to change it, what to delete, and what to add are not things that can be done at the touch of words. The most important thing is that there are many old officials in the court, and the blood of the old school and the reformers all day long.

It's necessary to revise the law in every aspect. It's hard for him to drag these loyal ministers down and beat the board, isn't it?

The latest case uncovered by the Ministry of punishment has also caused disputes among courtiers.

Butcher fan in the east of the city married his wife in his early years. His wife had difficulty giving birth and died two times. Since then, butcher fan never continued his life. He only guarded the meat stall alone. A few days ago, the stall was closed for a long time. Some neighbors felt strange and smelled the stench in butcher fan's house. Because butcher fan was irritable and often chased and beat guests, no one was willing to talk to him because of his bad neighborhood relations. But after a few days, the more smelly it became, the neighbor's family dared to come to the door, but they found the dismembered body of butcher fan!

It's disgusting to mix with a group of dead pork!

Not far away, there was a baby body with a head larger than the body and a strange appearance.

In addition, she was a crazy and foolish woman, with naked clothes, dull eyes and blood all over her hands. She held the baby's body in her arms.

The Yamen didn't dare to hide it and immediately reported it to the Ministry of punishment. Ding LAN Linglong and Lvqiao rushed to the scene. Rao is a veteran Ding LAN who felt uncomfortable, but Linglong didn't look better.

Who the woman is, where the deformed baby came from, and who killed the strong butcher fan... These mysteries were gradually solved by the three people.

It turned out that in those years, butcher fan's wife had difficulty giving birth. His wife died, but his daughter didn't die. Although she didn't die, she was a fool. Butcher fan was ashamed, so he locked her in the house and didn't allow her to eat, drink and Lazar. Originally intended to sell the silly daughter, but when the silly daughter was older, butcher fan found that she looked very symbolic.

So he had a lustful heart.

The girl is stupid. She doesn't know what butcher fan did to herself. She doesn't know contraception. She often gets pregnant. Most of the children are as deformed as the baby. After birth, butcher fan quietly took them away, strangled them and buried them on the spot.

Until this pregnancy, when butcher fan strangled the child, he didn't avoid the silly girl and asked her to see it.

No one knows what the silly girl thinks. She is really silly and fake. She dragged the iron chain used by butcher fan to lock herself. She picked up the heavy pig killing knife. When butcher fan didn't pay attention, she cut him on the head. Then she broke him into pieces, threw away the knife, and held the dead baby in her arms. When Linglong and others arrived at the scene, She was covered with blood, her expression was crazy, and she smiled with a strange baby in her arms.

How to judge has become a difficult problem.

Reasonably speaking, butcher fan is insane and should be cut to pieces. According to he's case, it's not impossible to be kind outside the law, but the problem is that butcher fan is the biological father of a silly girl. This is not killing her husband, but killing her father!

In Ding Lan's words, killing her husband and father completely touches the power and dignity of men. No matter how humble a poor man is, as long as he is a man, he can control his wife and daughter's happiness, anger and life at home. But silly girl and he's doing this is telling other women that you can resist, Even the law will be gracious for you - not to mention how many women are really suffering. If there are those who fish in troubled waters? If you kill your husband and father, can you not be sentenced because of pity?

The court also fought to the death over this matter. The two factions insisted on their own views, and neither of them would obey the other.

They quarreled bitterly in the Jinluan hall. Two old men simply fought. You pull my hair and I pull your beard. A chicken flies and a dog jumps.

Officials are desperate to help.

Can this be better!
