rape

Xianyang has a vast land, although it is under the foot of the emperor, it is inevitable that there are some remote areas. The place where this incident happened is considered to be half a poor area.Yu Zishi originally planned to take Hu Hai along the avenue to walk in the mountains, forests and fields outside Xianyang City, but he did not expect to encounter such a thing on the road, so he immediately decided to join in the fun, maybe after this thing is over, he can still be with Fan Kuai It's almost like asking some things, for example, how is Liu Ji in your village recently?How about Xiao He and Cao Shen?Greet them for me, nothing else, I just want to express my concern.

When the group arrived at the county government office, the small public hall was fully equipped with everything from the county magistrate down to the officials. In front of the government office stood a stone carving of the Daqin law that was one person tall. Well, this thing is no different from the stone carvings in front of the main hall of Xianyang Palace. At first glance, Li Si's iron painting and silver hooks are full of iron and blood.

Master Tingwei really has a presence everywhere.

Yu Zishi withdrew his gaze lightly, and was just about to follow the spectators into the house when he suddenly heard a sharp roar from afar, "Get out! Get out of the way!"

Hu Hai, who was half a step behind Yu Zishi, stretched out his hand and dragged Yu Zishi back. The white fox fur made snow-colored ripples. He stood in front of Yu Zishi and hugged his shoulders. His clear eyes suddenly dimmed.

The man who ran so wildly that his hair covered his face roared past the two of them.Yu Zishi squinted his eyes and saw the back of the man running away in a panic, he seemed to be a tall and thin young man.

"Are you all right, sir?" Hu Hai asked.

"It's okay." Yu Zishi shook his head.

The next moment, a group of people rushed out from the alley, looking around aggressively with hoes and hatchets, when suddenly someone shouted, "Over there!"

Hearing the sound, the fleeing man in front sped up and ran wildly.Hu Hai's eyes darkened, he pinched the sapphire pendant around his waist, and his hand in the sleeve moved slightly. In the eyes of everyone, the man suddenly bent his left knee in pain, and the next moment he screamed forward. He swooped down, hit his face on the ground with a bang, he jumped twice like a convulsion, and slapped the ground, "Ah" twice, and there was no movement.

The angry villagers rushed forward and immediately surrounded them. Amidst the violent body collisions and the angry curses of the villagers, Yu Zishi heard one or two extremely sharp howls, "Don't slap your face! Don't slap your face!"

"Liar!" "Little bastard!" "A magician who cheats money! Don't you even know where this is?"

Hearing the angry curses of the villagers one after another, Yu Zishi subconsciously frowned.Immediately afterwards, I felt Hu Hai gently pulling himself down, "Let's go, sir."

Yu Zishi turned his head to look at Hu Hai, who had a delicate and clean face wrapped in white fox fur, and turned his head to look at himself in a daze as if frightened by the scene.

Just a charlatan.Yu Zishi nodded, and walked into the county government office together with Hu Hai. As soon as he entered, he heard the young couple scolding each other fiercely.

"Whore! Whore!" The little boy's face trembled so much that even his voice changed, as if he was about to die of anger.

Naturally, in the courtroom, witnesses and physical evidence were discussed, and it was only when Fen entered the courtroom that he realized that the matter had become serious.At that time, he was so angry that he lost all reason, and when he came back to his senses, he realized that he was standing in front of the county magistrate, and he broke out in a cold sweat. Although this matter was a family matter, there were many witnesses, so he was naturally guilty of not taking reason.But now that the matter has come to this point, he must not admit his mistakes. If something happens that affects his official career, his life will be ruined. People who have violated the law and been punished in the Qin Dynasty are not allowed to hold official positions. This is a clear stipulation. Thinking of this, he Gritting his teeth with his neck stuck, he planned to pour the dirty water to the end!Unexpectedly, Wang Cui's eloquence was so good, he was half angry and half blushing and thick necked.

"I'm a scholar, so I won't tell a shrew like you." He glared at Wang Cui suddenly, then turned to look at the magistrate, "My lord, I've only been married to her for two days. My face, humiliate my family style!"

"Obviously you cheated on the marriage first." Wang Cui sneered, "Xiao misses my Wang family property."

"Hey!" Fen squinted at Wang Cui, "My lord, I just signed the marriage letter with her two days ago, and now the marriage letter is still sealed with red mud in the back hall of the county government office. My lord, let people know at a glance. , she, Wang Cui, is clearly voluntary, but now she is just saying that I was deceived?"

"My lord!" Wang Cui was about to speak when Fen suddenly interrupted her.

"You said I lied to you. How could I have lied to you? There are indeed seven wives and concubines in my family. However, Daqin Law did not say that a man cannot marry more wives and concubines. It is clear that you are jealous. You Wang Cui married I am a wife, and I made an alliance with you. Now you are jealous first, and then you have fornicated others, and you have ruined my innocence! My lord, I ask you to punish the jealous woman Wang Cui with pounding rice, and to upright Qin Hao. wind!"

The county magistrate listened for a while, looked at Wang Cui, then at Fen, and asked for a while, "Wang Cui, you said that the man Fen plotted for your Wang family's property, do you have evidence?"

Wang Cui's complexion changed slightly, and he gritted his teeth for a while and said, "He treated all his seven wives and concubines like this, cheating marriage first, and seeking wealth second."

Fen sneered, "Wang Cui, be careful what you say, who can prove your words? My seven wives and concubines obviously married me voluntarily, and they are willing to donate their wealth to support my career." He looked at the county Cheng, "If you don't believe me, you can ask my concubine Xiao Luo."

Xiao Luo looked at Wang Cui, then at Fen Xiang, who seemed slightly satisfied, and finally bowed her head in silence for a while, finally, she said softly: "My lord, everything my beloved said...is true."

Wang Cui's complexion finally changed. She was standing in front of the hall wearing a black wedding gown. Her hair was full of gold and jade, and her neck was full of pearls. After a long time, she couldn't help laughing out loud. She turned her head and saluted generously, smiling sweetly, " How about asking my lord to show me the evidence of my infidelity?"

"Evidence?" Fen sneered, "You flirted with that dog Tu and beat me in public, that's the evidence. If the two of you have nothing to do with each other, why should he force himself to meddle in other people's private affairs?"

The county magistrate seemed lost in thought.

At this moment, Fan Kui stood up generously, and he casually bowed his hands in salute, "My lord, Fan Kui, the dog Tu of Pei County, has a few words to say."

"Go ahead."

Fan Kui glanced at the little white face. The latter's face turned paler, but he straightened his waist even more. Fan Kui stared at him, and suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled out the blood-stained dog-butcher knife from his waist. Fen was so frightened that he took two steps back and hid behind the official, his face turning gray.Daqin is so fierce, everyone can carry a knife to the battlefield, and everyone can't help laughing at Fen's embarrassment.Fen blushed in the embarrassing laughter, but gritted his teeth and thought to himself, as a scholar, he would be at a disadvantage when confronted with a vulgar person like Fan Kuai, he knows current affairs!

Holding the knife, Fan Kui suddenly realized, "I took it wrong." Under Fen's gaze, he casually inserted the knife back into his waist, and Fen's expression became even uglier in an instant.

"It's this one." Fan Kui took out a pass from his waist and handed it to the magistrate. He said generously, "My lord, it just so happens that I was originally from Pei County, and my ancestors have been murdered in Pei County for generations." Dogs. This is the first time I have entered Xianyang City. When I had no money to eat on the way, I helped others kill dogs to earn money. After walking for three months, the soles of my shoes were worn out." He hooked his feet Pulling off the shoe, there were indeed two black holes in the sole. He turned the shoe around and passed it on to everyone so that everyone could see clearly, and then said: "This time I went to the city to meet a friend, and by the way, bring some dog meat to the city to earn some money back." If you don’t believe me, take my household registration and check the traffic records, I, Fan Kui, entered Xianyang City for the first time this morning. There is an affair..." He looked at Xiang Fen, "I don't quite understand what's going on here, can you explain, scholar?"

"Perhaps you two have had an affair for a long time. Wang Cui is a dissolute woman by nature. She has been doing business everywhere. It is not certain that the two of you met in other places in the past."

Fan Kui touched the knife, and said calmly: "I, Fan Kui, have grown up so much, and I still go back to the city for the first time. For more than 20 years, I, Fan Kui, have never been out of Pei County. As for merchants going to Pei County to do business, everyone really thinks too much. Even dogs know not to run to poor places.”

Wang Cui laughed, "My lord, I came to Xianyang for business, and I haven't been out of Xianyang City in the past three months. You can check my travel records."

The county magistrate looked at Fen, "Fen, framing and slandering is a felony."

"This..." Fen's face was a little ugly, and he said something after a while, "Although the two of them haven't had an affair yet, they still intend to!"

Hearing this sentence, Yu Zishi reacted for a while, and then felt that the words were familiar.The translation of Fen's words is: Fan Kuai, although you didn't sleep with my wife, I know that you just want to sleep with her!

This kind of accusation has risen to the spiritual level, and it can be seen that Fen has indeed studied for several years. This kind of sour and disgusting words can only be thought of by a scholar like Fen.Yu Zishi turned his head to look at Hu Hai, "Have you written the petition yet?"

Hu Hai took out a bamboo slip from his sleeve, and Yu Zishi took it over and looked at it. The clear and upright Zangfeng characters surprised him for a moment. Hu Hai's characters are quite good.He glanced at Hu Hai with a little surprise, the latter's eyes were clear and bright.

Immediately, Yu Zishi reached out to put Hu Hai's hat on, and plucked his white fox fur, "Shut up, I'll be fine soon."

After saying this sentence, Yu Zishi turned around and walked towards the courthouse that looked like a county government office in later generations. He said a few words to the official standing farthest away. The latter looked at him for a while, then raised his hand and let him go. went in.

"Master Xiancheng, I have two words, I don't know if I should say it or not." Yu Zishi felt that at this moment, it was a good time to show his heroism when he saw injustice on the road. People don't pretend to bully young people. !

"Who are you?"

"It's just an unknown person." Yu Zishi reached out and handed over the bamboo slip.

None of Hu Hai’s documents have any literary value, and he doesn’t have any icing on the cake like Fu Bixing. He has one thing to say and one thing to say. Different from the dull and boring imagined by most people, Hu Hai's book is extremely concise but reveals a sense of righteousness.

The county magistrate looked at it for a while, and when he saw the signature with his calm eyes, he suddenly raised his head in disbelief.

Zhao Gao, supervisor of Daqin Fuxi.

Yu Zishi slightly hooked the corners of his lips, and smiled knowingly at the county magistrate.The county magistrate pretended to be calm and put down the slip of paper, and returned Yu Zishi's eyes with "Don't worry, my lord".

Yu Zishi nodded lightly, with a profound look of "I'm really low-key", and cast a "teachable" look at the county magistrate.The county magistrate suppressed the emotion in his eyes, and calmly returned a firm look of "I will not disgrace my life".

So this scene fell in the eyes of everyone present, that is, their upright and honest county magistrate shook the letter in his hand, and looked affectionately at the little white face standing in the hall, during which the corners of his eyes twitched intermittently.

Yu Zishi sneered in his heart, he often floats in the officialdom, how can he not be stabbed if he has no skills?Anyway, he couldn't understand what the corners of Xian Cheng's eyes were twitching, so he just kept the corners of his mouth up exactly fifteen degrees.As for the effect of such a smile, whoever tries it will know.

"Fen!" The gentle county magistrate suddenly became fierce, glaring at the righteousness, "Have you ever beaten and tortured Wang Cui?"

Fen was taken aback by the words of the county magistrate, and immediately denied it: "My lord, I didn't."

"Wang Cui, did Fen beat you or insult you?" The county magistrate turned to look at Wang Cui.

Wang Cui raised her eyes to look at Yu Zishi who appeared out of nowhere, but she didn't realize it. Yu Zishi lowered her head and casually touched her nose with her hand, pretending to be inadvertently across her face.Wang Cui's eyes changed suddenly, and she turned to look at the magistrate, with a brush on her face, she burst into tears.

"My lord, Fen did beat and insult me. You can all testify that I still have this red mark on my face!" Wang Cui seemed to be extremely sad because of something heartbroken, and she covered her face and refused to say any more.

"My lord, it's me, I didn't hit her...I..." Thinking of the two slaps, I was completely slapped, wasn't I talking about an affair and a marriage fraud?How did this get around him to torture Wang Cui?

"Do you think you hit the red marks on her face?" Xian Cheng stared and shouted, "Did you hit her?"

"My lord, I hit... I did it, but..."

The county magistrate slapped the table violently, "The marriage contract is still on display in the back hall of the county government office. Do you know what crime it is to beat and humiliate your wife?"

"No, my lord, Wang Cui insulted me first, and I couldn't help it before I did it. I wanted her to stop." Fen hurriedly explained.

"So you admit that you fought?" Xian Cheng's eyes were sharp.

"Then... no, my lord Wang Cui hit me too, my face is still swollen! You saw it with your own eyes when you brought someone here!" Fen said, pointing to the red mark on his face, This Wang Cui is much stronger than him, okay?

The county magistrate spread his hands helplessly and said: "That's none of my business, Da Qin Law didn't say that."

Seeing that the face next to Fen was blushing and he was about to argue, Yu Zishi looked down at his clothes and said suddenly, "Little Finger."

Fen was so angry that he couldn't speak, but when he heard Yu Zishi's words, he almost jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on. His eyes almost popped out, "What did you say? Say it again."

"It's really thin and short."

Fen yelled a swear word and didn't want his demeanor at all, and he rushed towards Yu Zishi.The next moment, Yu Zishi sideways avoided, and the official beside him grabbed Fen and dragged him back. Yu Zishi turned his head and calmly said to the magistrate, "My lord, I'm just describing the shape of my fingers. Now I suspect the man is violent."

The county magistrate immediately patted the table, "Tie him up and put him in prison! He will be sentenced to death tomorrow, and all the property will belong to Wang Cui!"

Hearing the words of the county magistrate, the expression of Xiao Luo, the kneeling sixth wife of Fen, changed instantly. She stared at Wang Cui in a daze. The latter was wearing a black wedding dress.

Fen was directly dragged away by the officials covering his mouth, he struggled desperately but couldn't say a word.Enduring punishment is not a harsh criminal law, it's just a removal of eyebrows, beard, and face hair. It's more of a symbol of insult for people to learn to know shame. However, for Fen, enduring punishment is a great criminal law. The official career that represented his life was completely ruined.

The Great Qin Law stipulates that civilians who have been punished by the Great Qin Law are not allowed to serve as officials in the court.

Listening to the sound of Fen being dragged away, Yu Zishi recalled the look in Li Si's eyes when he was transcribing this section of Daqin law, and he lowered his eyes for a while.What did he say to Li Si at that time?People are not sages and sages who can do nothing wrong, and if you know your mistakes, you can improve them greatly.

After all, it seems cruel to Yu Zishi to ruin a person's career because of a single mistake.What was Li Si's reaction at that time?

By the way, Li Si listened, put down his pen and looked up at himself, and said lightly, "People are not saints, then I will teach them to be saints."

At that time, I only felt that Li Si, a civil servant, was crazy to the extreme, but now Yu Zishi suddenly felt that, for Qin Guo, Li Si's words were much more realistic than his.For Qin, who is fighting everywhere, the cost of opening a school to educate the people is too high, and it is far less simple and easy than setting up a law with a few words.Li Si is a real politician, he knows what kind of medicine should be given to Qin at this time.

When Yu Zishi came back to his senses, he realized that he had thought too far.Putting away his thoughts, he straightened his sleeves, turned around and walked towards Hu Hai.

"Wait for a long time?"

"No, sir is very powerful." Hu Hai smiled very quietly, the boy's eyes dispelled the gloom and hostility, revealing a clear light.

Yu Zishi's old face was slightly heated by Hu Hai's smile, and he said after a while, "Let's go."

"Ah."

As soon as Hu Hai and Yu Zishi walked out of the gate, they saw Wang Cui waiting there.As soon as she saw Yu Zishi, she took two steps forward, "Thank you for what happened just now."

"It's okay, it's just a matter of raising your hands."

"I still have to thank you son."

"you……"

Yu Zishi couldn't say anything to comfort him, and felt that nothing was appropriate.On the contrary, Wang Cui smiled generously and said, "I'm fine, don't worry, my lord."

"That's good." Yu Zishi heaved a sigh of relief. He said this, but his eyes drifted to Fan Kui behind Wang Cui.

Fan Kui also saw Yu Zishi's eyes, and just wanted to go up to say hello.Suddenly a disheveled man in ragged clothes came out from behind him, Fan Kui subconsciously waved the man away.

With a loud bang, the man hit the ground, slapped his fingers tenaciously, and sent out a broken greeting: "Fan...Fan Kuai?"

Fan Kuai was taken aback?How does this man know his name?He reached out to the man, hesitantly reached out and patted the man's shoulder, "Well, big brother, are you okay? Big brother didn't do it on purpose, so you are?"

The man raised his head, sucked the blood from his nose, and opened his mouth silently for a while to spit out the mud in his mouth.He turned to look at Fan Kui, "It's me, Xu..."

"Hey!" Fan Kui was taken aback by the man's green face, and slapped his face on the ground again in the conditional launch.

The man twitched his fingers twice, and the blood from his nose slowly flowed quietly down his cheeks on the ground.Fan Kuai hurriedly reached out to help him up, "I'm sorry, I'm not ready right away." Just as he helped him halfway, he suddenly pulled him closer by the collar, and he could vaguely see that his face was bruised and swollen. Fan Kui frowned sharply with two traces of a rogue, "Is that you?"

"You still remember..." the man said excitedly, and then Fan Kui let go, his head hit the ground again, and the broken voice continued firmly, "...you got me?"

Fan Kui looked at Wang Cui and Yu Zishi. Under Wang Cui's gaze, he awkwardly grabbed two beards, "He's a liar, a money liar, and he lied to me before."

Yu Zishi looked at the man's torn and messy clothes, always feeling a little familiar, and suddenly he heard Hu Hai whispering in his ear: "The thief who was chased by the villagers earlier."

Yu Zishi was enlightened, and when he took a closer look, he found that he was really the embarrassed man who howled "Don't slap me in the face" just now.After a long while, he looked away at Fan Kui, "Then let's go, how about talking while walking?"

"Ah?" Fan Kui was taken aback, he was going to sell dog meat, why did he go with you?

"Seeing the strong man and the bone sword heart, I want to make friends with you." Yu Zishi said generously, and then turned his head to look at Wang Cui, "Little sister, you..."

Wang Cui smiled, "I'm afraid the house is in chaos long after this incident happened, so I'll go back and take care of it." She bowed deeply, "Thank you for your help, Wang Cui is a vulgar village woman , there is nothing to thank, I hope you two will accept it."

Speaking of Wang Cui taking off the gold ornaments on her head, Fan Kui and Yu Zishi naturally refused to accept them. The two shirked for a long time, but Wang Cui suddenly stuffed the golden hairpin into their arms, turned around and ran away, turning back while running. He said with a smile: "When the family affairs are over, Wang Cuiding will personally thank the two of you."

The girl ran quite fast, and she ran away in the blink of an eye once she put on her wedding dress.

Fan Kuai and Yu Zishi looked at each other, and then held the golden hairpin in their hands, not knowing what to do.After a long while, Yu Zishi said: "It's also her wish, but it can't be ruined."
