What a cheating husband
Chapter 177 Unfilial Punishment
Stepping out of Liang's mansion, Liang Zijun's smell of alcohol dissipated slightly, and he wandered back to Liang Zi'an's house.
The next day, he first visited Liu Weizhi's tutor, Lu Changyu, and then visited his old friend to discuss the location of the shop. There were three consecutive days of banquets and banquets. Xiao Shijing's group of nobles couldn't help but wonder if this newcomer really has some skills?
Knowing that this person is a newly-promoted candidate who passed the provincial examination, and also a collateral nephew of Liang Baijin, people from all walks of life sent people to submit letters, wanting to make friends with him.
Two brothers, Liang Zishu, introduced him on his behalf. In addition, he himself is good at dancing. After a short time, he became popular in Beijing, and several people wanted to recruit him.
Liang Zijun's various deeds will not be shown for the time being, Liu Daidi finally woke up after being in a coma for three days, but fell asleep again before he could say a few words.
Chen Qing saw that he was insane, so he couldn't help worrying secretly, even invited several doctors for consultation, but he could only say "resign to fate"
Chen Qing, who is resigned to fate, stays up all night. Ancient medical methods are limited, and all diseases are treated by oral administration and external application. It is okay to have a headache and brain fever. If you encounter a serious illness, you can only rely on precious medicinal materials to continue your life.
It doesn't mean that ancient medical skills are not as good as Western medicine. The prescriptions handed down from the ancestors can even treat difficult and miscellaneous diseases that are unsolvable in modern medicine. How can it be said that they are not good?It's just that traditional Chinese medicine is slow in acting, and has no quick-acting anti-inflammatory effect on trauma. How can the absorption by the human body compare to the quick effect of directly acting on the blood?
In particular, the high fever caused by inflammation in the body is extremely easy to burn out the brain. Even if the inflammation subsides, it may leave regrettable sequelae for life.
It was not until seven days later that Liu Daidi came back.The light medicine dregs filled two wooden barrels. If it doesn't work anymore, it may be said that this person is really hopeless.
It was a trivial matter that the medicinal materials cost hundreds of taels. What Chen Qing was most worried about was that he would turn into a fool. Fortunately, the first thing he asked after waking up was the doll, which made Chen Qing's heart sink for a few days.
Knowing that in order to save him, Chen Ping did not hesitate to sacrifice himself for the crime, Liu Daidi was about to struggle to the ground, Chen Qing persuaded the sobbing man for a long time before stopping his search for someone for the time being.
Passed the doll to him with emotion and said, "Even if you don't think about your body, you have to think about your son, right? You have the heart to leave him alone with such a small baby? Besides, the provincial capital is far away. The baby in the middle is on the road?"
Liu Daidi looked sideways at the crying baby, tears streaming down a river, her husband is now in prison, how can he recover from his injuries with peace of mind?
"Don't think so much, it's important to take care of your body." Chen Qing wiped away his tears for him, and persuaded in a deep voice, "This is the end of the matter, and the official documents are out. Even if you go, you can't get him back. It's better to take care of him." Wait for him to come back...it will only take about three years, and after the hard labor, the three of you will be able to reunite. I have asked someone to find out, and when I have definite news, I will give you some benefits, so I can take care of you."
"Brother... Daidi, please, I will repay your kindness even if I am a cow or a horse in my next life." Liu Daidi stretched out her trembling hands, pulling Chen Qing with all her strength and begging.
"Don't worry, we are all one family, what are you talking about?" Chen Qing stuffed the doll into his arms, so as not to let him think about it.
Coming out of the door, seeing Liu Hongmei fidgeting and walking around, Chen Qing smiled and said, "You are awake, don't worry."
"It's good to wake up...that...you see Daidi is still sick, don't let the doll tire him anymore, why not..." Liu Hongmei looked eagerly into the back room, which made Chen Qing chuckle, "I know, that's not right. He just woke up, so that the father and son can get close, and when he calms down, I will carry the doll to your yard."
"Hey! That's the deal." Liu Hongmei clapped her hands and wanted to go out with a smile. "I have stewed soup in my yard, and I'll bring it here..."
"Sister-in-law Hongmei... don't rush away yet." Chen Qing stopped him, hesitant to speak, and tried to persuade him, "Now that Daidi is awake, this baby belongs to others..."
Liu Hongmei sighed melancholy, and said quietly, "I know, I just feel that this baby is destined for me, and I just can't bear it..."
No matter how rare it was, it wasn't her own baby. Chen Qing sent Liu Hongmei away, and felt wronged for her. If it wasn't for the mother and daughter's crimes, why would the two sister-in-laws have no children?
Liu Daidi was raised by Liang's family for a month, and when he was able to walk around in the field, he took his son back to raise him.
Chen Qing saw that his complexion was recovering well, so he didn't force him to drink some decoction that made him cry and laugh. Instead, he went to shopkeeper Lin's pharmacy to prepare some tonics to nourish the body, to regulate blood and nourish qi.
It wasn't until her legs and feet became sharp that Liu Daidi bid farewell tactfully.After being away from home for more than a month, he also misses the few acres of land at home.
After persuading him several times, Chen Qing hired a part-time worker to let him go home, and brought him more than ten pairs of tonics to take with him, so as not to leave the root cause of the disease after the lack of tonic after childbirth.
"Just hire someone to do the work in the field, and be careful not to wear yourself out," Chen Qing said worriedly before leaving.
"Understood." Liu Daidi got on the bullock cart, hugged the baby tightly and bowed to Chen Qing.
Before leaving, Liu Hongmei chased after her and called out, "Wait... I made some quilts for my baby, you can take them with you"
Chen Qing stared at the big and small parcels and called out, "Sister-in-law, what are you doing?"
"It's not for you, what are you talking about?" Liu Hongmei touched the milk baby's pink face, and said reluctantly, "This baby is so beautiful... I'm not so lucky... If I have time, I will bring the baby back Look, after all, it has been raised for more than a month, and it can be regarded as some affection..."
"If my sister-in-law is too rare, why don't I wait for the baby to grow up and recognize you as a godmother?" Chen Qing joked, but Liu Hongmei's eyes lit up, and she immediately agreed, "Okay, I can't ask for it." It's a good thing to come, how could it... I just don't know if my siblings are willing?"
Liu Hongmei looked at Liu Daidi with a timid expression, and seeing that he answered with a smile, she hurriedly shouted, "Zi Zhuang! Hurry up and take out the milled rice and fine noodles at home, and bring them to our godson!"
"Hehe..." Chen Qing bent over with a smile, and Liu Daidi accepted his son's meeting gift with a smile after a few words of refusal. Waiting to go home, let the baby serve tea to the godmother when I have time."
"It's easy to say, easy to say, the baby is not in a hurry to drink tea, I have a golden lock here, put it on the baby, a little rice noodles is not a meeting gift." Liu Hongmei took out a juan handkerchief from her arms, took it out carefully Wrapped with a golden lock, I put it on the baby with my own hands and then smiled contentedly, "The baby will live a long life, and the godmother will wait until you grow up to honor me."
"Since you recognize your god-in-law, you must be filial," Liu Daidi agreed with a happy face.Being able to climb up to the sister-in-law of the Liang family to be a godmother, not to mention that the son will be able to make a fortune in the future, he will definitely be able to use his strength to study in a school.
Husband is a scholar who has studied in school. Although the imperial examination is not good, he still has some knowledge. Liu Daidi does not know a single word, so naturally she hopes that her son can be a superior scholar like her husband.
"This baby was originally Ah Qing's nephew, and now he recognizes you as a godmother, isn't it just a kiss? You are satisfied this time!" Liang Zizhuang said with a smile as he embraced his wife.
"What's the matter? I don't think you're really nervous? I'm hungry at night, and you wake up more diligently than me. Why don't you get up in the middle of the night?" Liu Hongmei poked her husband, fine lines appeared at the end of her eyes from laughter .
"Hehe...isn't that right, this baby is exquisite and smart, everyone will like it" Liang Zizhuang stretched out his hand to tease him, and then persuaded Chen Qing to accompany her for a while, so that she could go back and help with the tidying up.
Chen Qing missed grandpa, and thought that grandma hadn't offered incense yet, so she went home and got some paper money to offer fruit, and followed them back to Chenjiagou.
As soon as he entered the village, he heard the villagers mention Grandpa Chen's death, and Chen Qing was furious, but everyone was dead, so saying anything was superfluous.
Liu Daidi heard that Grandpa hanged himself on Grandma's grave in order to exchange life-saving money for her. Before rushing to the new grave, she passed out in grief.
After Chen Qing settled Liu Daidi, she rushed to the village chief's house.
Seeing Chen Qing coming back, the village head said, "I wanted to wait for Chen Ping to come back before implementing the family rules. Now that he is in prison, it's fine if you come back. You have the right to be a witness."
"Where is Miao Rencui!" Chen Qing asked in a deep voice with red eyes.
"It's all locked up in the ancestral hall. Hey~ If your father is still alive, how can you end up in such a situation?" The village chief looked at Chen Qing again, and couldn't help shaking his head and sighing. If it wasn't for the death of Chen Qing, how could Chen Qing be a brother? get married?
Then Chen Ping just couldn't support the wall with mud, if it was Chen Qing who married, not to mention living a prosperous life, it would definitely not make Grandpa Chen unable to close his eyes when he was dying.
It is not the first time that Chenjiagou opened the ancestral hall, but Chen Qing is a married man after all, and it is untenable to go back to her natal family to participate in clan affairs now, but what the old village chief said made all the clans close mouthed.
"Although Chen Qing is married, he is still a member of the old Chen family. Now Chen Ping is in prison, and Daidi is his wife. Although his younger brother is not in compliance with the rules, he is still his own family after all. It is not easy to let the family Execute the family rules in private, right?"
"Forget it, the Chen family will have to rely on him for support in the future, this time I will make an exception!" Once the elder in his 80s opened his mouth, everyone shut up and stopped discussing.
Chen Qing nodded to all the elders in the village, and stood quietly to listen to the matter, but when Miao Rencui was pushed out, she couldn't help but stepped forward and scolded, "Miao Rencui, you bastard! Grandpa and Grandma have treated you so well, it’s fine if you don’t remember it, and you’re forcing him to death! Even if the clan doesn’t sanction you, I’ll make you pay with blood!”
Boss Chen was bound and knelt on the ground. He had no face to look at Chen Qing, let alone face his relatives. He burst into tears and said, "It's all because of my unfilial piety...I'm guilty!"
"Boss Chen...what's the use of saying these things now! Sigh~" All the elders in the clan stamped their feet and turned their heads away, disdainful to see his repentant appearance.
Miao Rencui was surrounded by a group of clansmen, and she had already shrunk into a ball in panic and fear, but now that a big mistake has been made, even if she pleads hard, it will not help.
Seeing that Chen Qing, who is dependent on others, also accuses him imposingly, Miao Rencui can't help scolding in his heart, "I lose my conscience? Where are you? Why didn't you see your filial son and grandson serving you when your grandma was seriously ill?" In front of the bed? This will come to accuse me, where do you have the face to say that?"
"I..." Chen Qing felt uncomfortable, and heard the people whispering, he couldn't help but feel ashamed, but in the end he was married with a clean body, even if he was not filial, it was reasonable.
"Who says elder brother doesn't respect grandma anymore?" Liu Daidi held the baby in her arms, pushed away the crowd and stood up to defend Chen Qing.
"The clan is discussing matters, you woman, hurry up and go out, you don't have a place to talk here." Liu Daidi was reprimanded by the elders of the clan as soon as she opened her mouth.
Liu Daidi has never been afraid of these things. She glanced around and said, "Brother takes care of her mother's family in many ways, why don't you allow me to be fair? Married from her husband, and didn't give a dowry to accompany her, so my elder brother helped the family a lot during the disaster year. Ration. When grandma was seriously ill, she also bought medicine for Yinzi privately, but now that Miao Rencui is so bloody, if you don’t uphold justice for elder brother, I can’t let her talk nonsense here!”
When Miao Rencui saw Liu Daidi, she was furious, and she shrank into a ball just now, but now she got up and bumped into her, cursing, "You little bitch, you didn't even kill you when you gave birth! What a loser! I haven't had a good time since I married you..."
Chen Qing pushed Miao Rencui away, and said to everyone, "Did you hear clearly? The reason why Dai Di's life was in danger was caused by this thief woman. She first harmed the childbirth man and then forced my grandfather to death. Please give justice to the clan!"
Is it okay for the village chief to hear this?He hurriedly found Mrs. Wen to confront him, and Mrs. Wen scolded angrily, "Damn! At first, I felt that something was wrong. When Chen Ping said that his mother lied to him, I thought I was in a panic. I didn't expect that it was Miao Rencui who secretly I am the master, fortunately my life was saved, otherwise my mother-in-law would have to bear a big crime!"
"Bah~ stop talking nonsense, you were the one who said at the time that you would suffocate the baby if you didn't get rid of it, why are you being so kind now!" Miao Rencui immediately sprayed back.
"If it weren't for your husband's consent, I wouldn't dare to hit so hard!" Wen Po didn't care about other things, and rushed forward to beat Miao Rencui.
"Stop!" The village head snarled, and ordered the junior to pull the two wives away. "Boss Chen, tell me! Did you agree to keep the baby?"
Boss Chen broke down in tears and responded, "It's a crime!... She said at the time that there should be no delay, otherwise the baby would be suffocated in the stomach, but she didn't say that she would take the baby out of the birth canal..."
"Boss, you!" Miao Rencui bumped his head at Chen Boss, how dare he say this in front of outsiders, he will definitely be dragged to see an official.
"The patriarch... I, Boss Chen, have been useless all my life. My father died in vain, my mother had no money for medical treatment, and my daughter-in-law almost died. If Ah Qing didn't save me, how could I have the face to live in this world... What punishment is given in this village? I took both of them, and we should be punished if we were killed..." Boss Chen hit his head on the ground with such force that his forehead was hit so hard that his head was bleeding.
"If you want to die, don't hurt me!" Miao Rencui threw herself on Boss Chen's back like crazy, and hit him hard, telling him to stop talking.
"Okay! If this is the case, then implement the family rules. The dynasty has never tolerated unfilial people. Even if the legislation imposes a hanging, the family's ugliness will be exposed to the outside world, so the officials will not deal with it. Today, you and your wife will be fined three hundred sticks and hanged." To comfort the spirits of our ancestors!" The village head stood up and looked at the relatives, and after everyone nodded, he looked at Chen Qing and asked, "Is there any dissatisfaction?"
Chen Qing knew that this court legislated the sentencing of unfilial persons, but Miao Rencui's death was not a pity, but Chen Boss was dragged to death but finally he couldn't bear it.
Everyone sighed deeply and refused to accept it one after another. Even the village chief shook his head in disapproval, "He indulged his wife and killed my father, and the economic officer will not escape death!"
Liu Daidi had just recovered from a serious illness, so she was unavoidably weak when she just woke up, so she swayed and pulled Chen Qing to persuade her, "They deserve what they deserve, even if the elder brother begs for mercy, the family will not let daddy go."
Chen Qing also knew that there was no room for redemption, so he tried his best to turn his head away and replied, "Please leave a whole body for the family..."
"This is natural." The village chief waved his hand, and a few juniors came in from outside the hall, set up Mr. and Mrs. Chen and dragged them to the execution hall.
Miao Rencui wailed, "Boss Chen... you and I have been husband and wife for decades, and you have caused me to die miserably. Even if I'm a ghost, I won't let you go..."
Boss Chen looked up to the sky and sighed, his feet were limp on the ground and let the two of them drag him. He muttered, "The young couple is here to accompany you! With me by your side, why do you have to be wronged... Where is the money at home? In the end, you will die, and if you don’t bring life or death, you should leave it to the baby.”
"Hahaha... you're dreaming! Even if I die, I won't take advantage of that little bastard...and that bastard!" Miao Rencui kicked his legs and cursed.
Chen Qing wanted to go up to ask, but was held back by Liu Daidi, who shook his head and persuaded, "There is only a little money left and right. Isn't she so fond of money that she can't take it away even if she dies? There is only a little land in the house, just dig it out. If you can’t dig it out, it’s time to eliminate the disaster.”
Since Liu Daidi was so open-minded, Chen Qing stopped asking.
Seeing that the thief woman is about to die, she should be happy, but after a life and death, Liu Daidi's hatred for her has faded a lot. She only hopes that her husband will come back safely, and that the three of them can be reunited. up.
"Wuwu...Chen Qing, I was wrong...Please do me a favor and plead for me...I don't want to die, I don't want to die...Ping'er! Ping'er, come and save Auntie..."
Hearing Miao Rencui's heart-piercing cry, Chen Qing sighed in his heart, this is probably the last time he heard this woman's howl...
Three hundred random sticks, if you can't beat them to death, there is only one breath left. When the two of them are hung on the beam, they are already letting others do what they want.
At the moment when the bench was kicked down, Chen Qing embraced the exhausted Liu Daidi and sighed, "Evil is rewarded with evil, even if it can be forgiven, it is still a crime."
The author has something to say: Phew~~Lao Miao is finally a dog. Originally, he wanted to keep Boss Chen alive, but ended up with a broken leg. Unfortunately, after checking some ancient punishments for crimes of unfilial piety, he found that Boss Chen’s crime is unforgivable Ah... Everyone, it's time to watch the excitement. The following is the popular science that Xiao Chui found out... Hee hee~~
———————————–————————————————————————————————
In traditional society, corresponding to the moral concept of "filial piety is the first of all good deeds", there is a legal awareness that "five punishments belong to three thousand, and there is no crime greater than unfilial piety". Unfilial piety is the biggest crime.Therefore, punishing "unfilial piety" is also an important legal content to maintain filial piety.
In ancient China, "unfilial piety" was regarded as a crime, and legal sanctions were imposed on unfilial behavior very early.So far, the Shang Dynasty is the first dynasty in the history of our country with mature texts to test. The so-called "three hundred punishments, no crime is greater than unfilial piety", is talking about the Shang Dynasty.If the historical data are conclusive and reliable, it means that the Shang Dynasty had already condemned "unfilial piety".
By the Western Zhou Dynasty, "unfilial piety" had been clearly regarded as "the great evil of the original", and unfilial piety was the heinous crime, which was listed as the first punishment among the "eight punishments" and could not be pardoned.Qin Shihuang exercised power alone, imposed severe punishments and laws, and would not be merciful to those who were disloyal and unfilial. The laws of the Qin Dynasty also stipulated that the crime of unfilial piety should be punished with death.After the Han Dynasty, the feudal dynasties of all dynasties advertised to rule the world with filial piety, and "unfilial piety" was officially criminalized and included in the law.
For the first time, the laws of the Northern Qi Dynasty established the "Ten Serious Crimes" and listed "unfilial piety" as the eighth article.The Sui Dynasty formally established the crimes of "ten evils", and the crime of "unfilial piety" ranked seventh.Since then, "unfilial piety" has become a "heinous" felony.After the Tang Dynasty, all dynasties continued to use the crime of "ten evils". "Tang Law" clearly stipulates the content of "unfilial piety" and the corresponding punishment, including the following items: 1.Telling, cursing grandparents, parents. "Tang Law" stipulates that in addition to grandparents and parents committing crimes such as treason, treason, and treason, children must report other crimes committed by grandparents and parents, and they must be hanged.Falsely accusing parents is a capital offense.It is worth noting that the law also stipulates that although the children and grandchildren who expose the crimes of their grandparents and parents will be punished, the father and grandfather who are exposed are considered surrendered and can be exempted from punishment.This provides an opportunity for the descendants to save their relatives with death.In other words, in order to save grandparents and parents from being tortured, the children and grandchildren can expose the crimes of their elders and suffer the punishment themselves.In addition, children and grandchildren who scold grandparents and parents shall also be punished.The laws of the Ming and Qing Dynasties even included "swearing" as a special category. Not only sons who scolded their grandparents and parents were punished, but wives and concubines who scolded their husbands' grandparents and parents were also punished.
2.If the grandparents and parents are alive, the children and grandchildren shall establish a separate household registration and divide the family property.Traditional filial piety believes that after the children and grandchildren set up a separate family, filial piety will sink and die.Therefore, "Parents have no private property", and prohibiting children and grandchildren from owning private property can be said to be a consistent requirement of filial piety.The Tang Dynasty imposed a three-year prison sentence on the offspring who set up a separate family, and the Song Dynasty punished them more severely, and sometimes even sentenced them to death.The Ming and Qing dynasties were a little more lenient on this rule, and only accepted upon the request of grandparents and parents, and the punishment was relatively light.
3.Not dedicated to supporting parents.Supporting parents is a basic requirement of filial piety. If children and grandchildren are able to support their parents but do not support them, or do not do their best to support them, as long as the grandparents or parents file a complaint with the government, the children and grandchildren will be sentenced.
4.During the mourning period, men and women marry, play the piano and have fun, or take off the mourning clothes before the mourning period is over.According to the law of the Tang Dynasty, if a man marries a man or a woman during the mourning period for his parents, or changes mourning clothes into auspicious clothes, or plays the piano for fun, he shall be sentenced to three years in prison.Even if you encounter others playing the piano on the road and stop to listen, you will be sentenced to a hundred sticks.Pregnancy during the period of mourning, or separation of brothers during the period of mourning, should also be questioned.
5.Concealing news of the death of grandparents or parents, not going to the funeral or holding a funeral, or lying about the death of grandparents or parents.According to the law, after the death of grandparents and parents, the descendants who do not go to the funeral or hold the funeral will be exiled for two thousand miles; Sentenced to three years in prison.In addition, if grandparents and parents commit capital crimes and are imprisoned in prison cells, while their children and grandchildren or their wives and concubines play the piano for fun, they will be sentenced to one and a half years in prison for the crime of "unfilial piety and unrighteousness".
6.Beating grandparents, parents to death. The fourth "evil rebellion" in the "ten evils" is to beat or murder grandparents and parents. This is the most serious crime of unfilial piety that cannot be forgiven.Even those who curse their parents to death are punished as "murder".Committing the crime of "evil rebellion", all generations will be killed without pardon as long as there are "beating" and "killing" behaviors, regardless of whether they are injured or not, and the severity of the injury.Even if the children and grandchildren have committed suicide in fear of crime, the corpse must be exposed to the public as a punishment and warning.According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, grandparents and parents who were threatened by their children and grandchildren to death shall be sentenced to beheaded for the crime of beating grandparents or parents.
The Qing law more specifically stipulates that if grandparents or parents commit suicide because their offspring offend, the offspring will be executed;Even if the parents did not intentionally seek death, but died unintentionally, as long as the cause is caused by the children and grandchildren, the children and grandchildren still have to bear the same criminal responsibility.This is a typical manifestation of the so-called "parents who are everything in the world" filial piety in the legal field.
There are two cases: a mother wanted to send her disobedient son A to the government, but A begged hard, but the mother was unmoved; A was sentenced to hang for this.In another case, B was very filial to his mother on weekdays. His mother asked others for unjust property. Knowing this, he committed suicide in shame and indignation. Yi was first sentenced to hang for violating the decree, and was later commuted to exile for three thousand miles.
Looking at the laws of the past dynasties, the principle of aggravated punishment has been adopted for the punishment of unfilial crimes.When the government tried a case, it would first distinguish between the superior and the inferior, the relatives of the elders and the younger, and then listen to the reasons for right and wrong.The emperor often arbitrarily increased the punishment in the declaration and approval of the crime of unfilial piety.For example, the brothers of Li's family, a Beijing official in the Tang Dynasty, had not returned to their hometown for more than 20 years and concealed the news of their mother's death.
The last thing I want to talk about is the family law and family rules in ancient China.Family law and family rules are essentially consistent with the laws of the feudal state. In addition to maintaining the internal order of the family, adjusting family relations, and fulfilling various obligations stipulated by the state, they also use severe punishment to control family members ideologically and morally. "Family service" used to be a creepy sentence in ancient times.
Under the education and restraint of family rules and laws, the family is like a government office, and clan power has completely become the embodiment of dictatorial kingship.Especially in the Ming and Qing dynasties, family rules and family law education were more stringent than those of the previous dynasties.In terms of maintaining filial piety, family rules and family law play a role that national law cannot, and the effect achieved is more significant than national law.Especially in the closed remote mountainous area, where the sky is high and the emperor is far away, the government and laws are beyond reach. enforcer.
The most prominent of these is the punishment of unfilial children and grandchildren.If a family has an unfilial son, then the oldest patriarch of the family will open the door of the ancestral hall, punish severely, and even execute the unfilial son who disobeyed his parents.
The next day, he first visited Liu Weizhi's tutor, Lu Changyu, and then visited his old friend to discuss the location of the shop. There were three consecutive days of banquets and banquets. Xiao Shijing's group of nobles couldn't help but wonder if this newcomer really has some skills?
Knowing that this person is a newly-promoted candidate who passed the provincial examination, and also a collateral nephew of Liang Baijin, people from all walks of life sent people to submit letters, wanting to make friends with him.
Two brothers, Liang Zishu, introduced him on his behalf. In addition, he himself is good at dancing. After a short time, he became popular in Beijing, and several people wanted to recruit him.
Liang Zijun's various deeds will not be shown for the time being, Liu Daidi finally woke up after being in a coma for three days, but fell asleep again before he could say a few words.
Chen Qing saw that he was insane, so he couldn't help worrying secretly, even invited several doctors for consultation, but he could only say "resign to fate"
Chen Qing, who is resigned to fate, stays up all night. Ancient medical methods are limited, and all diseases are treated by oral administration and external application. It is okay to have a headache and brain fever. If you encounter a serious illness, you can only rely on precious medicinal materials to continue your life.
It doesn't mean that ancient medical skills are not as good as Western medicine. The prescriptions handed down from the ancestors can even treat difficult and miscellaneous diseases that are unsolvable in modern medicine. How can it be said that they are not good?It's just that traditional Chinese medicine is slow in acting, and has no quick-acting anti-inflammatory effect on trauma. How can the absorption by the human body compare to the quick effect of directly acting on the blood?
In particular, the high fever caused by inflammation in the body is extremely easy to burn out the brain. Even if the inflammation subsides, it may leave regrettable sequelae for life.
It was not until seven days later that Liu Daidi came back.The light medicine dregs filled two wooden barrels. If it doesn't work anymore, it may be said that this person is really hopeless.
It was a trivial matter that the medicinal materials cost hundreds of taels. What Chen Qing was most worried about was that he would turn into a fool. Fortunately, the first thing he asked after waking up was the doll, which made Chen Qing's heart sink for a few days.
Knowing that in order to save him, Chen Ping did not hesitate to sacrifice himself for the crime, Liu Daidi was about to struggle to the ground, Chen Qing persuaded the sobbing man for a long time before stopping his search for someone for the time being.
Passed the doll to him with emotion and said, "Even if you don't think about your body, you have to think about your son, right? You have the heart to leave him alone with such a small baby? Besides, the provincial capital is far away. The baby in the middle is on the road?"
Liu Daidi looked sideways at the crying baby, tears streaming down a river, her husband is now in prison, how can he recover from his injuries with peace of mind?
"Don't think so much, it's important to take care of your body." Chen Qing wiped away his tears for him, and persuaded in a deep voice, "This is the end of the matter, and the official documents are out. Even if you go, you can't get him back. It's better to take care of him." Wait for him to come back...it will only take about three years, and after the hard labor, the three of you will be able to reunite. I have asked someone to find out, and when I have definite news, I will give you some benefits, so I can take care of you."
"Brother... Daidi, please, I will repay your kindness even if I am a cow or a horse in my next life." Liu Daidi stretched out her trembling hands, pulling Chen Qing with all her strength and begging.
"Don't worry, we are all one family, what are you talking about?" Chen Qing stuffed the doll into his arms, so as not to let him think about it.
Coming out of the door, seeing Liu Hongmei fidgeting and walking around, Chen Qing smiled and said, "You are awake, don't worry."
"It's good to wake up...that...you see Daidi is still sick, don't let the doll tire him anymore, why not..." Liu Hongmei looked eagerly into the back room, which made Chen Qing chuckle, "I know, that's not right. He just woke up, so that the father and son can get close, and when he calms down, I will carry the doll to your yard."
"Hey! That's the deal." Liu Hongmei clapped her hands and wanted to go out with a smile. "I have stewed soup in my yard, and I'll bring it here..."
"Sister-in-law Hongmei... don't rush away yet." Chen Qing stopped him, hesitant to speak, and tried to persuade him, "Now that Daidi is awake, this baby belongs to others..."
Liu Hongmei sighed melancholy, and said quietly, "I know, I just feel that this baby is destined for me, and I just can't bear it..."
No matter how rare it was, it wasn't her own baby. Chen Qing sent Liu Hongmei away, and felt wronged for her. If it wasn't for the mother and daughter's crimes, why would the two sister-in-laws have no children?
Liu Daidi was raised by Liang's family for a month, and when he was able to walk around in the field, he took his son back to raise him.
Chen Qing saw that his complexion was recovering well, so he didn't force him to drink some decoction that made him cry and laugh. Instead, he went to shopkeeper Lin's pharmacy to prepare some tonics to nourish the body, to regulate blood and nourish qi.
It wasn't until her legs and feet became sharp that Liu Daidi bid farewell tactfully.After being away from home for more than a month, he also misses the few acres of land at home.
After persuading him several times, Chen Qing hired a part-time worker to let him go home, and brought him more than ten pairs of tonics to take with him, so as not to leave the root cause of the disease after the lack of tonic after childbirth.
"Just hire someone to do the work in the field, and be careful not to wear yourself out," Chen Qing said worriedly before leaving.
"Understood." Liu Daidi got on the bullock cart, hugged the baby tightly and bowed to Chen Qing.
Before leaving, Liu Hongmei chased after her and called out, "Wait... I made some quilts for my baby, you can take them with you"
Chen Qing stared at the big and small parcels and called out, "Sister-in-law, what are you doing?"
"It's not for you, what are you talking about?" Liu Hongmei touched the milk baby's pink face, and said reluctantly, "This baby is so beautiful... I'm not so lucky... If I have time, I will bring the baby back Look, after all, it has been raised for more than a month, and it can be regarded as some affection..."
"If my sister-in-law is too rare, why don't I wait for the baby to grow up and recognize you as a godmother?" Chen Qing joked, but Liu Hongmei's eyes lit up, and she immediately agreed, "Okay, I can't ask for it." It's a good thing to come, how could it... I just don't know if my siblings are willing?"
Liu Hongmei looked at Liu Daidi with a timid expression, and seeing that he answered with a smile, she hurriedly shouted, "Zi Zhuang! Hurry up and take out the milled rice and fine noodles at home, and bring them to our godson!"
"Hehe..." Chen Qing bent over with a smile, and Liu Daidi accepted his son's meeting gift with a smile after a few words of refusal. Waiting to go home, let the baby serve tea to the godmother when I have time."
"It's easy to say, easy to say, the baby is not in a hurry to drink tea, I have a golden lock here, put it on the baby, a little rice noodles is not a meeting gift." Liu Hongmei took out a juan handkerchief from her arms, took it out carefully Wrapped with a golden lock, I put it on the baby with my own hands and then smiled contentedly, "The baby will live a long life, and the godmother will wait until you grow up to honor me."
"Since you recognize your god-in-law, you must be filial," Liu Daidi agreed with a happy face.Being able to climb up to the sister-in-law of the Liang family to be a godmother, not to mention that the son will be able to make a fortune in the future, he will definitely be able to use his strength to study in a school.
Husband is a scholar who has studied in school. Although the imperial examination is not good, he still has some knowledge. Liu Daidi does not know a single word, so naturally she hopes that her son can be a superior scholar like her husband.
"This baby was originally Ah Qing's nephew, and now he recognizes you as a godmother, isn't it just a kiss? You are satisfied this time!" Liang Zizhuang said with a smile as he embraced his wife.
"What's the matter? I don't think you're really nervous? I'm hungry at night, and you wake up more diligently than me. Why don't you get up in the middle of the night?" Liu Hongmei poked her husband, fine lines appeared at the end of her eyes from laughter .
"Hehe...isn't that right, this baby is exquisite and smart, everyone will like it" Liang Zizhuang stretched out his hand to tease him, and then persuaded Chen Qing to accompany her for a while, so that she could go back and help with the tidying up.
Chen Qing missed grandpa, and thought that grandma hadn't offered incense yet, so she went home and got some paper money to offer fruit, and followed them back to Chenjiagou.
As soon as he entered the village, he heard the villagers mention Grandpa Chen's death, and Chen Qing was furious, but everyone was dead, so saying anything was superfluous.
Liu Daidi heard that Grandpa hanged himself on Grandma's grave in order to exchange life-saving money for her. Before rushing to the new grave, she passed out in grief.
After Chen Qing settled Liu Daidi, she rushed to the village chief's house.
Seeing Chen Qing coming back, the village head said, "I wanted to wait for Chen Ping to come back before implementing the family rules. Now that he is in prison, it's fine if you come back. You have the right to be a witness."
"Where is Miao Rencui!" Chen Qing asked in a deep voice with red eyes.
"It's all locked up in the ancestral hall. Hey~ If your father is still alive, how can you end up in such a situation?" The village chief looked at Chen Qing again, and couldn't help shaking his head and sighing. If it wasn't for the death of Chen Qing, how could Chen Qing be a brother? get married?
Then Chen Ping just couldn't support the wall with mud, if it was Chen Qing who married, not to mention living a prosperous life, it would definitely not make Grandpa Chen unable to close his eyes when he was dying.
It is not the first time that Chenjiagou opened the ancestral hall, but Chen Qing is a married man after all, and it is untenable to go back to her natal family to participate in clan affairs now, but what the old village chief said made all the clans close mouthed.
"Although Chen Qing is married, he is still a member of the old Chen family. Now Chen Ping is in prison, and Daidi is his wife. Although his younger brother is not in compliance with the rules, he is still his own family after all. It is not easy to let the family Execute the family rules in private, right?"
"Forget it, the Chen family will have to rely on him for support in the future, this time I will make an exception!" Once the elder in his 80s opened his mouth, everyone shut up and stopped discussing.
Chen Qing nodded to all the elders in the village, and stood quietly to listen to the matter, but when Miao Rencui was pushed out, she couldn't help but stepped forward and scolded, "Miao Rencui, you bastard! Grandpa and Grandma have treated you so well, it’s fine if you don’t remember it, and you’re forcing him to death! Even if the clan doesn’t sanction you, I’ll make you pay with blood!”
Boss Chen was bound and knelt on the ground. He had no face to look at Chen Qing, let alone face his relatives. He burst into tears and said, "It's all because of my unfilial piety...I'm guilty!"
"Boss Chen...what's the use of saying these things now! Sigh~" All the elders in the clan stamped their feet and turned their heads away, disdainful to see his repentant appearance.
Miao Rencui was surrounded by a group of clansmen, and she had already shrunk into a ball in panic and fear, but now that a big mistake has been made, even if she pleads hard, it will not help.
Seeing that Chen Qing, who is dependent on others, also accuses him imposingly, Miao Rencui can't help scolding in his heart, "I lose my conscience? Where are you? Why didn't you see your filial son and grandson serving you when your grandma was seriously ill?" In front of the bed? This will come to accuse me, where do you have the face to say that?"
"I..." Chen Qing felt uncomfortable, and heard the people whispering, he couldn't help but feel ashamed, but in the end he was married with a clean body, even if he was not filial, it was reasonable.
"Who says elder brother doesn't respect grandma anymore?" Liu Daidi held the baby in her arms, pushed away the crowd and stood up to defend Chen Qing.
"The clan is discussing matters, you woman, hurry up and go out, you don't have a place to talk here." Liu Daidi was reprimanded by the elders of the clan as soon as she opened her mouth.
Liu Daidi has never been afraid of these things. She glanced around and said, "Brother takes care of her mother's family in many ways, why don't you allow me to be fair? Married from her husband, and didn't give a dowry to accompany her, so my elder brother helped the family a lot during the disaster year. Ration. When grandma was seriously ill, she also bought medicine for Yinzi privately, but now that Miao Rencui is so bloody, if you don’t uphold justice for elder brother, I can’t let her talk nonsense here!”
When Miao Rencui saw Liu Daidi, she was furious, and she shrank into a ball just now, but now she got up and bumped into her, cursing, "You little bitch, you didn't even kill you when you gave birth! What a loser! I haven't had a good time since I married you..."
Chen Qing pushed Miao Rencui away, and said to everyone, "Did you hear clearly? The reason why Dai Di's life was in danger was caused by this thief woman. She first harmed the childbirth man and then forced my grandfather to death. Please give justice to the clan!"
Is it okay for the village chief to hear this?He hurriedly found Mrs. Wen to confront him, and Mrs. Wen scolded angrily, "Damn! At first, I felt that something was wrong. When Chen Ping said that his mother lied to him, I thought I was in a panic. I didn't expect that it was Miao Rencui who secretly I am the master, fortunately my life was saved, otherwise my mother-in-law would have to bear a big crime!"
"Bah~ stop talking nonsense, you were the one who said at the time that you would suffocate the baby if you didn't get rid of it, why are you being so kind now!" Miao Rencui immediately sprayed back.
"If it weren't for your husband's consent, I wouldn't dare to hit so hard!" Wen Po didn't care about other things, and rushed forward to beat Miao Rencui.
"Stop!" The village head snarled, and ordered the junior to pull the two wives away. "Boss Chen, tell me! Did you agree to keep the baby?"
Boss Chen broke down in tears and responded, "It's a crime!... She said at the time that there should be no delay, otherwise the baby would be suffocated in the stomach, but she didn't say that she would take the baby out of the birth canal..."
"Boss, you!" Miao Rencui bumped his head at Chen Boss, how dare he say this in front of outsiders, he will definitely be dragged to see an official.
"The patriarch... I, Boss Chen, have been useless all my life. My father died in vain, my mother had no money for medical treatment, and my daughter-in-law almost died. If Ah Qing didn't save me, how could I have the face to live in this world... What punishment is given in this village? I took both of them, and we should be punished if we were killed..." Boss Chen hit his head on the ground with such force that his forehead was hit so hard that his head was bleeding.
"If you want to die, don't hurt me!" Miao Rencui threw herself on Boss Chen's back like crazy, and hit him hard, telling him to stop talking.
"Okay! If this is the case, then implement the family rules. The dynasty has never tolerated unfilial people. Even if the legislation imposes a hanging, the family's ugliness will be exposed to the outside world, so the officials will not deal with it. Today, you and your wife will be fined three hundred sticks and hanged." To comfort the spirits of our ancestors!" The village head stood up and looked at the relatives, and after everyone nodded, he looked at Chen Qing and asked, "Is there any dissatisfaction?"
Chen Qing knew that this court legislated the sentencing of unfilial persons, but Miao Rencui's death was not a pity, but Chen Boss was dragged to death but finally he couldn't bear it.
Everyone sighed deeply and refused to accept it one after another. Even the village chief shook his head in disapproval, "He indulged his wife and killed my father, and the economic officer will not escape death!"
Liu Daidi had just recovered from a serious illness, so she was unavoidably weak when she just woke up, so she swayed and pulled Chen Qing to persuade her, "They deserve what they deserve, even if the elder brother begs for mercy, the family will not let daddy go."
Chen Qing also knew that there was no room for redemption, so he tried his best to turn his head away and replied, "Please leave a whole body for the family..."
"This is natural." The village chief waved his hand, and a few juniors came in from outside the hall, set up Mr. and Mrs. Chen and dragged them to the execution hall.
Miao Rencui wailed, "Boss Chen... you and I have been husband and wife for decades, and you have caused me to die miserably. Even if I'm a ghost, I won't let you go..."
Boss Chen looked up to the sky and sighed, his feet were limp on the ground and let the two of them drag him. He muttered, "The young couple is here to accompany you! With me by your side, why do you have to be wronged... Where is the money at home? In the end, you will die, and if you don’t bring life or death, you should leave it to the baby.”
"Hahaha... you're dreaming! Even if I die, I won't take advantage of that little bastard...and that bastard!" Miao Rencui kicked his legs and cursed.
Chen Qing wanted to go up to ask, but was held back by Liu Daidi, who shook his head and persuaded, "There is only a little money left and right. Isn't she so fond of money that she can't take it away even if she dies? There is only a little land in the house, just dig it out. If you can’t dig it out, it’s time to eliminate the disaster.”
Since Liu Daidi was so open-minded, Chen Qing stopped asking.
Seeing that the thief woman is about to die, she should be happy, but after a life and death, Liu Daidi's hatred for her has faded a lot. She only hopes that her husband will come back safely, and that the three of them can be reunited. up.
"Wuwu...Chen Qing, I was wrong...Please do me a favor and plead for me...I don't want to die, I don't want to die...Ping'er! Ping'er, come and save Auntie..."
Hearing Miao Rencui's heart-piercing cry, Chen Qing sighed in his heart, this is probably the last time he heard this woman's howl...
Three hundred random sticks, if you can't beat them to death, there is only one breath left. When the two of them are hung on the beam, they are already letting others do what they want.
At the moment when the bench was kicked down, Chen Qing embraced the exhausted Liu Daidi and sighed, "Evil is rewarded with evil, even if it can be forgiven, it is still a crime."
The author has something to say: Phew~~Lao Miao is finally a dog. Originally, he wanted to keep Boss Chen alive, but ended up with a broken leg. Unfortunately, after checking some ancient punishments for crimes of unfilial piety, he found that Boss Chen’s crime is unforgivable Ah... Everyone, it's time to watch the excitement. The following is the popular science that Xiao Chui found out... Hee hee~~
———————————–————————————————————————————————
In traditional society, corresponding to the moral concept of "filial piety is the first of all good deeds", there is a legal awareness that "five punishments belong to three thousand, and there is no crime greater than unfilial piety". Unfilial piety is the biggest crime.Therefore, punishing "unfilial piety" is also an important legal content to maintain filial piety.
In ancient China, "unfilial piety" was regarded as a crime, and legal sanctions were imposed on unfilial behavior very early.So far, the Shang Dynasty is the first dynasty in the history of our country with mature texts to test. The so-called "three hundred punishments, no crime is greater than unfilial piety", is talking about the Shang Dynasty.If the historical data are conclusive and reliable, it means that the Shang Dynasty had already condemned "unfilial piety".
By the Western Zhou Dynasty, "unfilial piety" had been clearly regarded as "the great evil of the original", and unfilial piety was the heinous crime, which was listed as the first punishment among the "eight punishments" and could not be pardoned.Qin Shihuang exercised power alone, imposed severe punishments and laws, and would not be merciful to those who were disloyal and unfilial. The laws of the Qin Dynasty also stipulated that the crime of unfilial piety should be punished with death.After the Han Dynasty, the feudal dynasties of all dynasties advertised to rule the world with filial piety, and "unfilial piety" was officially criminalized and included in the law.
For the first time, the laws of the Northern Qi Dynasty established the "Ten Serious Crimes" and listed "unfilial piety" as the eighth article.The Sui Dynasty formally established the crimes of "ten evils", and the crime of "unfilial piety" ranked seventh.Since then, "unfilial piety" has become a "heinous" felony.After the Tang Dynasty, all dynasties continued to use the crime of "ten evils". "Tang Law" clearly stipulates the content of "unfilial piety" and the corresponding punishment, including the following items: 1.Telling, cursing grandparents, parents. "Tang Law" stipulates that in addition to grandparents and parents committing crimes such as treason, treason, and treason, children must report other crimes committed by grandparents and parents, and they must be hanged.Falsely accusing parents is a capital offense.It is worth noting that the law also stipulates that although the children and grandchildren who expose the crimes of their grandparents and parents will be punished, the father and grandfather who are exposed are considered surrendered and can be exempted from punishment.This provides an opportunity for the descendants to save their relatives with death.In other words, in order to save grandparents and parents from being tortured, the children and grandchildren can expose the crimes of their elders and suffer the punishment themselves.In addition, children and grandchildren who scold grandparents and parents shall also be punished.The laws of the Ming and Qing Dynasties even included "swearing" as a special category. Not only sons who scolded their grandparents and parents were punished, but wives and concubines who scolded their husbands' grandparents and parents were also punished.
2.If the grandparents and parents are alive, the children and grandchildren shall establish a separate household registration and divide the family property.Traditional filial piety believes that after the children and grandchildren set up a separate family, filial piety will sink and die.Therefore, "Parents have no private property", and prohibiting children and grandchildren from owning private property can be said to be a consistent requirement of filial piety.The Tang Dynasty imposed a three-year prison sentence on the offspring who set up a separate family, and the Song Dynasty punished them more severely, and sometimes even sentenced them to death.The Ming and Qing dynasties were a little more lenient on this rule, and only accepted upon the request of grandparents and parents, and the punishment was relatively light.
3.Not dedicated to supporting parents.Supporting parents is a basic requirement of filial piety. If children and grandchildren are able to support their parents but do not support them, or do not do their best to support them, as long as the grandparents or parents file a complaint with the government, the children and grandchildren will be sentenced.
4.During the mourning period, men and women marry, play the piano and have fun, or take off the mourning clothes before the mourning period is over.According to the law of the Tang Dynasty, if a man marries a man or a woman during the mourning period for his parents, or changes mourning clothes into auspicious clothes, or plays the piano for fun, he shall be sentenced to three years in prison.Even if you encounter others playing the piano on the road and stop to listen, you will be sentenced to a hundred sticks.Pregnancy during the period of mourning, or separation of brothers during the period of mourning, should also be questioned.
5.Concealing news of the death of grandparents or parents, not going to the funeral or holding a funeral, or lying about the death of grandparents or parents.According to the law, after the death of grandparents and parents, the descendants who do not go to the funeral or hold the funeral will be exiled for two thousand miles; Sentenced to three years in prison.In addition, if grandparents and parents commit capital crimes and are imprisoned in prison cells, while their children and grandchildren or their wives and concubines play the piano for fun, they will be sentenced to one and a half years in prison for the crime of "unfilial piety and unrighteousness".
6.Beating grandparents, parents to death. The fourth "evil rebellion" in the "ten evils" is to beat or murder grandparents and parents. This is the most serious crime of unfilial piety that cannot be forgiven.Even those who curse their parents to death are punished as "murder".Committing the crime of "evil rebellion", all generations will be killed without pardon as long as there are "beating" and "killing" behaviors, regardless of whether they are injured or not, and the severity of the injury.Even if the children and grandchildren have committed suicide in fear of crime, the corpse must be exposed to the public as a punishment and warning.According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, grandparents and parents who were threatened by their children and grandchildren to death shall be sentenced to beheaded for the crime of beating grandparents or parents.
The Qing law more specifically stipulates that if grandparents or parents commit suicide because their offspring offend, the offspring will be executed;Even if the parents did not intentionally seek death, but died unintentionally, as long as the cause is caused by the children and grandchildren, the children and grandchildren still have to bear the same criminal responsibility.This is a typical manifestation of the so-called "parents who are everything in the world" filial piety in the legal field.
There are two cases: a mother wanted to send her disobedient son A to the government, but A begged hard, but the mother was unmoved; A was sentenced to hang for this.In another case, B was very filial to his mother on weekdays. His mother asked others for unjust property. Knowing this, he committed suicide in shame and indignation. Yi was first sentenced to hang for violating the decree, and was later commuted to exile for three thousand miles.
Looking at the laws of the past dynasties, the principle of aggravated punishment has been adopted for the punishment of unfilial crimes.When the government tried a case, it would first distinguish between the superior and the inferior, the relatives of the elders and the younger, and then listen to the reasons for right and wrong.The emperor often arbitrarily increased the punishment in the declaration and approval of the crime of unfilial piety.For example, the brothers of Li's family, a Beijing official in the Tang Dynasty, had not returned to their hometown for more than 20 years and concealed the news of their mother's death.
The last thing I want to talk about is the family law and family rules in ancient China.Family law and family rules are essentially consistent with the laws of the feudal state. In addition to maintaining the internal order of the family, adjusting family relations, and fulfilling various obligations stipulated by the state, they also use severe punishment to control family members ideologically and morally. "Family service" used to be a creepy sentence in ancient times.
Under the education and restraint of family rules and laws, the family is like a government office, and clan power has completely become the embodiment of dictatorial kingship.Especially in the Ming and Qing dynasties, family rules and family law education were more stringent than those of the previous dynasties.In terms of maintaining filial piety, family rules and family law play a role that national law cannot, and the effect achieved is more significant than national law.Especially in the closed remote mountainous area, where the sky is high and the emperor is far away, the government and laws are beyond reach. enforcer.
The most prominent of these is the punishment of unfilial children and grandchildren.If a family has an unfilial son, then the oldest patriarch of the family will open the door of the ancestral hall, punish severely, and even execute the unfilial son who disobeyed his parents.
