I'm watching the gate in the jail

After Sha Niu gave birth to a child, she seemed to be inspired to be a mother.

Although she may not know what to do as a qualified mother, she instinctively protects her baby and keeps him away from danger, especially the danger from men, which is a woman's instinct engraved in her bones.

Whenever two men tried to get close to her and the baby, she would yell and scratch at them.

Fearing that the silly girl's yelling would attract people from their own village, Master Ding and Yuanwai Guo didn't dare to approach the Earth Temple easily.

Because she was helped by this fat old mother when she gave birth, Sha Niu felt that she should be a "good person", so she was only allowed to enter the earth temple to visit her and the child.

So the fat mother was simply sent by Master Guo to serve the silly girl, help her recuperate her confinement, and teach her how to feed the child.Helping the silly girl, she raised the child until she was five or six years old.

Although she is a servant of the Guo family, Master Ding will give her some money and fabrics from time to time, firstly to thank her for taking care of the mother and child, and secondly to silence her.

If this kind of thing is known by any outsider, it is an earth-shattering scandal.

Both of them are the heads of the big local families in Shexian County, and they are among the most famous figures in the village.It must not be known that they had sex with a stupid girl at the same time, and also gave birth to a stupid son who didn't understand why.

This fat mother got Master Guo's monthly money, and took advantage of Master Ding, taking advantage of both ends, but she looked down on the mother and son very much.

Calling "Silly Sister" to the silly girl, and "Xiao Yezhong" to the child, anyway, their mother and child don't know what it means.

So the two masters followed her and called out "Little Wild Species" and "Little Wild Species" to the poor child—he didn't have a decent name anyway.

When the child grew up a bit, the two masters looked at the face of "Xiao Yezhong" together, and felt that he was neither like Ding nor Guo.

Not only does she look like a silly girl, but she even has the same brain as her mother—you can't call people when you're five or six years old, and you can only smile foolishly.

Every day, he scurry around in the mountains like a wild monkey, making horrible screams with his throat, and he is extremely powerful. He is just like a wild man and a little fool.

These two masters were still a little selfish, thinking that if the child looked like themselves, they would take him home, find any member of the clan to recognize him, and he would be regarded as returning to the clan.

But after knowing that he is also a fool, no matter whose blood is on his body, the two men are not interested at all.

Gradually, Master Guo first transferred the fat mother back.Then the number of visits to their mother and child was reduced little by little.

Originally, the rice grains were delivered twice a month, but changed to once a month, and finally became once every two or three months.

Both of them thought that the other party would continue to deliver food to Sha Niu's mother and child, and it shouldn't matter much if they lost their share.

But fortunately, when "Xiaoyezhong" grows up, he will go to the mountains and rivers to find food by himself, and bring it back to support the silly girl.

Occasionally, one of the two masters became lustful and teased the silly girl with food and clothes as before.

"Xiaoyezhong" didn't understand the meaning here, and thought someone was bullying his mother when he heard the sound.No matter what is going on inside, pick up the fire stick in the temple and hit the man.The two of them ran out of the temple without even having time to put on their trousers.

Gradually, the two men stopped coming at all.

It was a long time before they realized that the silly girl had already died.Only "Xiaoyezhong" was left living in that temple.

As for where the silly girl's body was buried by the silly son, only God really knows.

This "little wild species" has hardly had contact with any human beings in his life, and he is more afraid of strangers than his mother.

Staying on the mountain during the day, picking fruit to eat when hungry, drinking water in the river when thirsty, the earth temple is the place to sleep.

On the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year, or when he saw someone coming to offer incense from a distance, he ran away from a distance and came back after the person left.

After so many years, no one has noticed how strange it is that no one sees people when they "visit the temple".

In this way, "Xiaoyezhong" lived to be more than 20 years old and grew into a young man.He can barely speak human language, and he only remembers the few simple words Sha Niu taught him when he was a child.

All the year round, except in winter when the cold is unbearable, I would go to people's houses down the mountain to "touch" two cloaks on my body, almost all of them were naked, no different from savages.

In his short life, he only came into contact with a few people: "mother" is a "good person", "two masters" are "evil people", and "fat mother-in-law" often beats and scolds him.

Other than that, it's blank.

After listening to Mrs. Jiao's narration and Mrs. Fatty's additions, the entire yamen fell into silence.

Even the well-informed county magistrate, even Yang Xiuxian and other Lishi captains of Jinyiwei have never heard of such a case.

Liu Tiechi was even more stunned. It was the first time he had heard of such a nasty and disgusting case in all his life.

Seducing the slut, abandoning the young son, violating the family relationship, showing no shame, nothing like a beast!

Gao Hui blushed with anger, and clenched his fists tightly.He only heard a "crack", and he stepped on a big hole in the bluestone bricks under him in a rage.

If this foot stepped on a person, I don't know how many bones would be broken.

Like Gao Hui, Yang Xiuxian also heard this story for the first time today.

He was originally cold-hearted than ordinary people, even so, he could hear his chest heaving several times, and he clenched his teeth.

"Master... Laoshen is just a servant. I will do whatever the master tells me to do. They do things that are out of conscience and have nothing to do with Laoshang."

The fat mother knelt on the ground, crying and saying, "When my wife was here, she asked me several times what I did in the past few years. Did the master raise a child outside and sent me to take care of it. I am I didn’t dare to reveal anything about the silly girl. I just said that my niece in the country gave birth to a child and asked me to help. I will return to Guo’s house to work when the child is older..."

"Later, my wife passed away, and my grandma was in charge of everything at home. Then I dare not tell my grandma about her father-in-law."

As the fat mother spoke, she glanced at Jiao Shi, whose face was sinking in fear, and said tremblingly, "Later, the little grandma also... was gone. I really couldn't bear it any longer. When offering incense, no one dared to confess to her memorial tablet. But, but I didn't expect..."

Who would have thought that the young mistress who was clearly "dead" and could no longer "die" was actually alive and heard what she said.

Is it true that the sky has eyes, the sky net is restored, and it is sparse but not leaking?

"You two gentlemen, is what this Jiao's daughter and this fat sister-in-law said true? You two cheated the demented woman, taught her to give birth and then abandoned their mother and child, right?"

Qiu Zijin patted the gavel heavily, and asked sharply.

"This this……"

"I……"

If you say that when Mrs. Jiao recounted everything she overheard in the ancestral hall, the two masters still felt that they could refute it, saying that Mrs. Jiao's identity was unclear, and the testimony was not credible.

But this fat sister-in-law is an old servant of the Guo family. More than 20 years ago, she left the Guo family for five or six years, and then returned to serve. Many old servants in the family know.

At that time, as long as the people in the government can ask anyone casually, they will be right...

"Lord Qiu, according to the "Law of the Ming Dynasty", what crime should this cheating and adulterous girl be convicted of?"

Wanda was also furious, anxious to know what would happen to these two scumbags, so she ignored them and asked Qiu Zijin directly.

"According to the "Crime of Rape" section of the "Law of the Ming Dynasty", cheating young girls and sluts is the same as rape—according to the law, they should be hanged!"

Qiu Zijin replied bluntly.

"What about the abandoned children?"

Wanda asked.

"Two years."

"That's it, as the saying goes-severe and strict, anyway, they are all hanged, and it doesn't matter if they are exiled or not."

Wanda looked down with a sneer, "Is that right, you two?"

This is the first time that Wanda really thought of killing after coming to the Ming Dynasty.

Although the case of the Minister of the Household Department's Tunyin Bank and the case of the White Lotus Sect were extremely abhorrent, Wanda has never been so angry as he is now.

As a person from the 21st century and a person who has received a civilized education, he can't accept that someone would do such a thing to a weak woman who was born with mental retardation.

What do they think of people?What do they take women for?

The "chaste" that you keep talking about, the "reputation" that you always remember, the gentry, the sages, the elders, all of them are farting!

All of them are dressed in gold and silver on the outside, and they look like human beings, but in fact, they are all dirty, rotten, and smelly inside!They are pigs, dogs and beasts who are worse than the smelly rotten fish intestines at the fish stall!

"I...I don't agree."

Guo Yuanwai lay on the ground, gritted his teeth, and finally thought of something, raised his head, pointed at Mr. Ding and said, "If you want to say 'cheat', it is also the cheater named Ding. I bought the silly girl, and she My mother signed the prostitution document with me. After all, she is a girl from my Guo family. If the master slept with a girl, can it be considered cheating?"

Wanda was taken aback for a moment.

He really forgot about that.

"You, what are you talking about? You don't want to spout blood!"

Seeing that he was about to die, Master Ding also began to resist, "Who can prove that I lied to the silly girl? Fat sister-in-law? Or this little bastard? If you have the ability, you ask the silly girl to come and confront me. Here...here From the beginning to the end, I have nothing to do with you! Silly girl is your concubine, you raise it in the temple, and I have nothing to do with it."

The left and right fat aunt can only be regarded as a personal certificate, and she was called over when the silly girl gave birth.

Everything before was a clue that she had strung together bit by bit based on the clues she had observed over the years.

Strictly speaking, only Sha Niu knows whether Sha Niu is on good terms with Master Ding...or she herself doesn't know what is "good" and what is "bad".

"You, if you have nothing to do with the silly girl, why are you giving her food and drink, aren't you guilty?"

Guo Yuanwai immediately turned his face.

"I'm kind-hearted... I think she's an orphan living in the temple, she's pitiful. That temple was built on the grave of my ancestors anyway. I do good deeds and accumulate virtue for my ancestors. Speaking of it, it's a good thing." .”

Mr. Ding really lived up to the saying "Jiang is old and hot", and in a few words, he actually shirked the crime of cheating and adultery by hanging as "doing good deeds and accumulating virtue".

When Wanda heard this, she was so angry that a Buddha was born and the Buddha ascended to heaven.

If Qiu Zijin hadn't been tugging on his sleeve, he would have jumped off, and would have slapped the old man on the spot, killing this stinky and shameless man.

Because there is only "half" witnesses and not even a single physical evidence, this case that was thought to be a certainty turned out to be Guo Yuanwai's "must-tell story between the master and the maid" and Master Ding's "doing good deeds to help orphans" It's a great thing.

"Who said there was no 'physical evidence'?"

At this moment, Yang Xiuxian suddenly spoke.

"He is the 'physical evidence.'"

He stretched out his hand and pointed to the "little wild species" who was lying on the ground and counting ants.

"Let's do a blood test."

The two masters were stunned in court.

It's very simple, this is a half-and-half probability game, it just depends on who is the little fool's father.

Based on the results of the blood test, the next punishment will be determined.

If it is the fusion of Master Guo's blood and "Little Wild Species".That is not counted as cheating and adultery, but only as the crime of abandonment. As a result, Mr. Guo was exiled for two years.

If it was the fusion of Master Ding's blood and the "little wild species", it would be a real fraud, and Master Ding was hanged.

Wanda thought, let's not talk about whether the method of "recognizing relatives with blood" is scientific or not.

After all, it's a mind game.

As long as one of them fuses with the little fool's blood, the other one will definitely not bleed again, and the one who did it first will definitely face a lawsuit.

Conversely, if the blood of the first person does not fuse with the little fool, it indirectly proves that the other person is the little fool's father.

Because silly girl will not have other men except the two of them.

As long as someone bleeds, one of them will definitely die—not to mention two years of exile will not kill him, this time Qiu Zijin, like Wanda, was motivated to kill.

In the play, Xu Xian's exile from Hangzhou to Suzhou is called "exile", and the exile of people from Jiangnan, a land of fish and rice, to outside the desert, Lingnan and even Qiongzhou is also called "exile".Whether to die on the road or at the destination at that time depends on luck.

What's more, with Jin Yiwei's methods, it's not too difficult to really kill someone on the road.

There is a dead end on the left and right, this approach is too "critic".

After Wanda figured it out, she secretly blinked at Yang Xiuxian.

Upvote for you!

What the semi-literate Wanda could deduce, the two masters naturally thought of it.

Before, because of the competition for the Earth Temple, they sent Qiu Zijin, who was serious in his work, to Nanjing for verification.

The two families also thought that the young inspector was a hairless, unreasonable, bookworm who could only read books and handle cases on paper.

But I forgot, this inspector is good at following the rules.

But the one who followed him was Master Jin Yiwei Wan who never blinked an eye, and who was always vicious in his actions!

Where Wan Zhenfu has passed, can anyone survive?

Nothing!

"no no……"

Seeing that a brocade guard really came up, holding half a bowl of clear water in one hand and a small knife in the other, the two masters were trembling with fear.

The Jin Yiwei with the knife walked up to Master Ding and scratched his arm involuntarily, blood dripped into the bottom of the bowl, forming a blood clot.

When he walked to the side of "Xiaoyezhong", he hesitated.

"Let me do it."

Holding the knife, Mrs. Jiao patted "Xiao Yezhong" on the shoulder. He turned his head for no reason, and when he saw Mrs. Jiao reaching out to him, he obediently stretched out his arm.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Jiao slashed his right arm with a small knife, then handed the knife back to Jin Yiwei, took out a square cloth from his pocket, and bandaged the wound before "Xiaoyezhong" cried out in pain.

"Xiao Yezhong" looked at his newly tied right arm, and then at the left and right arms tied last night.Then he fluttered his arms twice like a little rooster, smiled, said "nice", and continued to lie down and count ants.

"Is this 'good looking'?"

Wanda actually felt that being praised by a fool just now was not a happy thing.

Jin Yiwei carefully placed the water bowl dripping with their blood on the table in front of Qiu Zijin and Wanda, and retreated with fists folded.

Wanda, Qiu Zijin, the magistrate on one side, and even Yang Xiuxian couldn't help but move their heads together.

"Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up..."

Seeing the two balls of blood getting closer, Wanda's eyes widened and he kept muttering.

It's just a matter of a snap of the fingers, but it's really itchy to wait.

The people kneeling on the ground also raised their heads one after another, holding their breath and staring at the scene in front of them.

Finally, the two blood groups gradually approached, as if they were testing each other, first two small blood beads met together.

Then, two big blood beads collided...

The blood of "Xiao Yezhong" and Master Ding's blood finally merged into one ball, and the whole bowl of blood was mixed together.

"You are his father! You cheated and raped a silly girl!"

Wanda slapped the table and shouted at Master Ding.

Although he vaguely knew that this method should not be very scientific, the result is not a certainty.

But what the hell!The main purpose now is to kill them!

Master Ding never expected that after so many years, he finally "found out" the child's life experience, and it was still under such circumstances.

But this time, I don't care about "recognizing the ancestors and returning to the clan" and "father is kind and son filial piety". Proving that "Xiao Yezhong" is his son means that he will be sentenced to hang...

He knelt on the ground in despair, without taking a breath for a long time.

Moreover, the "Master Qingtian" and Mr. Jin Yiwei in front of him, he himself sent someone to take the case and go to the pier to file a complaint to pick them up.

It's really self-inflicted, it's retribution!

"Master Ding, congratulations. Your Ding family has 'added a child', and you got such a big son for nothing."

Wanda gave Master Ding a cup of hands with a half-smile, and asked people to drag him aside to wait for the case to be closed.

Turning around again, he pointed at Guo Yuanwai who was frightened and hadn't recovered yet.

"Xiaoqiu, think about it, where is it better to exile this person. I heard that the Jianzhou Jurchen place is very good, with white mountains and black waters, and the sauerkraut is delicious."

"Little man, the villain is willing to redeem copper to pay for his crime!"

Guo Yuanwai suddenly thought of this key point, begging for mercy.

Wanda frowned, and finally remembered that the Ming Dynasty still had this trick.

Two years of exile for such a misdemeanor can be avoided by spending money.

"If you say you want to redeem copper, you will redeem copper! I won't redeem you!"

He slapped the table angrily, then turned to Qiu Zijin and said, "Xiao Qiu, don't listen to him. This kind of dog has money. If you can spend money to solve any crime, there is still a law in this world. what does the law do?"

Qiu Zijin patted the back of Wanda's hand, signaling him to be calm.

"What's the hurry? It's only the first case. Master Guo has more crimes than this."

After hearing this, Wanda lowered her head to look at Jiao's daughter who was still kneeling below, and suddenly realized.

Yes, self-inflicted, can't live.

The Guo family has committed a lot of things. If one can't kill him, there will be more.

"County Luo. As a county magistrate, you should have been accused of checking the yellow book. As a county magistrate, you don't know how many people there are in your She County..."

Qiu Zijin turned his head, and then took the county magistrate Luo to operate.

"My lord. This Xiao Ye... I mean, what happened to this little Mr. Ding is an old case that happened more than 20 years ago. In terms of responsibility, the lower officials are also responsible. But the previous county magistrates You didn't find it either, did you?"

Rhodes is not a very good official, but his mind turns very fast.In such a short while, he called "Xiao Yezhong" "Mr. Ding", and the anger of Mr. Ding who was kneeling beside him suddenly surged up.

If it is said that the population under this rule has been concealed, it can be said to be big or small.

At least it is a crime of negligence.If it is serious, it is a big deal to insinuate the population and help escapees.Fortunately, this is an old case, and he still has an excuse to shirk it.

"Okay, this is an old story, so what about this?"

Qiu Zijin pointed to the daughter of the Jiao family who was kneeling in the hall and asked, "When the Jiao family 'died', didn't it just happen when you took office as the county magistrate of Luo? In a family as big as the Guo family, a young lady died. How did you die, whether it was a real death or a fake death, don’t you know?”

"me……"

Rhodes couldn't argue.

After the daughter of the Jiao family married into the Guo family at the age of 16, her mother-in-law died at the age of 17, and her husband died at the age of 20.She has been a widow since she was young, and the family once wanted to take her back for another marriage.

But Jiao's daughter insisted on keeping the festival for her husband, and she was unwilling to leave with her elder brother who came to pick her up. The Jiao family had no choice but to let her go.

Jiao's daughter also gradually became famous in She County because of this incident, and she was compared to the second old lady of the Ding family.

Some people praised her as a chaste and strong woman who does not serve two husbands.There are also people who are waiting to see the good show, wanting to see how long she can guard it, and whether she can guard it for a lifetime like Mrs. Ding.

You know, it would be a big joke if this woman who was determined to stay chaste remarried halfway.

As a result, two years ago, Jiao's daughter suddenly hanged herself and died for the martyrdom, which shocked everyone in the county.

Some people say that she is really chaste, and some people say that she may feel that she is young and young. Instead of being a widow for a lifetime, it is better to be liberated early and seek an afterlife.

In any case, the suicide of Jiao's daughter was recognized by the whole county.So after that, her father-in-law wrote a letter for her and asked the imperial court to issue a decree, and the people in the county also felt that she deserved her name.

Who would have thought that she was not dead at all?

"You don't even know how she 'died', so why did you ask for a letter for her?"

Qiu Zijin pointed at the Luo county magistrate and reprimanded, "Is it just based on the Guo family's one-sided statement? Don't you even check it?"

"This... Only major homicide cases will ask you to do it. And she is the young mistress of a big family, so she dare not defile the corpse..."

County magistrate Luo knew he was wrong, but he still argued a few sentences.

"My lord, the Minnv really 'died' at that time."

At this moment, Jiao's daughter kowtowed heavily to Qiu Zijin twice.

"You can't blame Magistrate Luo for this matter. If you really want to say who is guilty..."

She turned around, pointed at Guo Yuanwai, then pointed at the fat aunt kneeling on the ground, and smiled coldly.

"It was the two of them who 'killed' me."

"What? Kill? You were killed? Didn't you commit suicide?"

The magistrate asked nervously while lying on the table.

You must know that asking for imperial court petitions is not something that can be done at the county magistrate level, but to apply from the county level to the state capital, and then the state government will verify that it is correct before reporting to the Ministry of Rites.

Without the approval of the imperial court, the people are not allowed to erect archways privately.

The archway can only be erected locally after waiting for the approval of the Ministry of Rites.The words "Imperial System" or "Chizao" recognized by the imperial court will be engraved on the archway as a commendation for the righteous women...

If this Jiao family did not commit suicide, but was killed by homicide, then this is a murder case.

Not to mention asking for petitions, a major homicide case has been fooled into suicide by a married woman, and a funeral has been reported as a happy event. This is a major event that the entire Huizhou government has to suffer from from top to bottom.

"What are you looking at? Go down and kneel, too."

Wanda grinned.

This Huizhou government official may be too easy to be.From top to bottom, they are generally confused, and the gentlemen are fooled by these gentry, regardless of the "life and death" of the people at the bottom.

If they hadn't come here to investigate the case this time, the woman of the Jiao family would not know how long she would be "dead".

"My lord, Mrs. Jiao, a commoner woman, wants to sue my father-in-law Guo Yuanwai. After my mother-in-law and husband died, he tried to misbehave with commoner women many times. This fat sister-in-law is his accomplice."

Qiu Zijin and Wanda were both surprised when they heard this.

Yesterday, Mrs. Jiao only said that he was forced to death, but did not reveal the details.

Unexpectedly, there is actually an inside story where the father-in-law and his servants are trying to pick up the ashes of the daughter-in-law.

A father-in-law who tried to misbehave with his daughter-in-law, dared to ask her to honor his family lintel after forcing his daughter-in-law to death?

This is not slapping the face of the local government, slapping the Ministry of Rites, or slapping the court, what else can it be?

"Call me!"

Wanda was furious, grabbed a handful of sticks, and threw them on the ground with a crackling sound.

"This fat sister-in-law, that magistrate, give me all of them! Beat them hard!"

Our Jin Yiwei is unreasonable today, how about it?

None of you try to run away.

After the heavy punishment, there was no one who was kneeling on the ground except Jiao Shi, Liu Tie Chi, Xiao Yezhong and Jiao Shi's girl.

Blooming blood was all over the floor, and the Jinyi guards almost turned the lobby of Shexian County into the imperial prison of Beizhen Fusi.

A group of people were lying down, kneeling and kneeling, all screaming.

It stands to reason that for an official of the prefect's level, Qiu Zijin couldn't easily punish him.But Jin Yiwei has no such scruples.

Don't say that you are a magistrate, even if you are the elders above the imperial court, Jin Yiwei won the emperor's order, and if you beat him, you will beat him. Whose face is not good?

Wanda doesn't have a driver's seat now, all he relies on is the favor of the emperor's brother-in-law and the phrase "do it cheaply".

Even if he had to hang up after returning to Beijing, he was not afraid of being censored by the courtiers.

It's amazing to go back to my hometown in Shandong to open a restaurant.It's just that today's bad breath, he must speak out for Jiao Shi!

According to what Jiao said, ever since she married into the Guo family, this father-in-law looked at him very strangely.But at that time, my mother-in-law was there.The mother-in-law is strict in running the family. Not only does she not allow her husband to take concubines and hook up with the girls in the family, but she also treats her son equally.

Therefore, in the first year when Jiao Shi first married, her life was pretty good.

A year later, her mother-in-law passed away, and she felt that her father-in-law looked at her more and more wantonly.

It's not that she hasn't mentioned this to her husband, but Mr. Guo thinks it's nonsense.It is well known in the county that his parents are loving and respectful to each other.I also think the wife is thinking too much.

Jiao has nowhere to complain, and there is no one trustworthy around her. Only a little girl, Cuicui, can complain.

Cuicui is the girl kneeling in the hall, she was brought by Jiao from her natal family, although she is young, she is sincere.

This Guo Yuanwai may have seen something, and since then, he began to avoid suspicion with his daughter-in-law, and finally they lived in peace.

Unexpectedly, after four years of happy life with her, Jiao's little husband suddenly became seriously ill and passed away.

Jiao loved her husband very much, she didn't want to remarry, and she was determined to be chaste, so she persuaded her elder brother, who was going to take her back to her natal family, to go back.

I thought that following the example of the old lady in the Dingjiazhuang next door, I would be able to guard my husband's memorial tablet for the rest of my life.But how did Jiao know that her father-in-law had no intention of letting her go.

Both his wife and son are dead, and the old lady in the family has long since disappeared. The entire Guo family has no one who can control Guo members.

After taking several concubines in a row in retaliation, he turned around and set his sights on the young and newly widowed daughter-in-law.

One night, he sneaked into his daughter-in-law's boudoir during the night.Unexpectedly, this Jiao family never let go of his guard against him for a day.She sleeps in the same bed with the girl Cuicui every night, just to guard against this old pervert.

Guo Yuanwai didn't succeed the first time, but after a while, he came up with another plan - to tune the tiger away from the mountain.

Taking advantage of the preparations for the sacrifice at home, he asked his fat wife to send Cui Cui to help in the kitchen, and deliberately dismissed the servants in the backyard temporarily, in order to forcefully misbehave with his daughter-in-law.

"That day, he broke into my room and wanted to insult me."

Jiao pointed at Guo Yuanwai, his eyes were full of hatred, "I called Tian Tian Ying, and the ground was not working...he almost got it."

"Then how did you escape?"

Qiu Zijin asked nervously.

"Minnv once heard people say that women in Quanzhou, Fujian, would wear a 'strength hairpin' on their heads in order to prevent themselves from losing their virginity to Japanese pirates and pirates. So I asked someone to make one for me according to the local style. They said yes 'Fire girl's hairpin' is actually a hairpin knife that can be used for self-defense. When necessary...suicide."

As Jiao said, he pulled out a silver hairpin from his loosely tied bun.

Gao Hui stepped forward, took the hairpin away, turned around and handed it to Qiu Zijin and Wanda.

Everyone took a closer look—it was a "Strong Girl Hairpin". The front of this hairpin was no different from ordinary hairpins. At first glance, they thought it was just a plain hairpin.But when it comes to the part where the hair is inserted, it is made into a triangular cone.If this thing stuck into the body, it would definitely be a blood hole.

"Minnv used this hairpin to pierce my father-in-law Guo Yuanwai's shoulder. If you don't believe me, you can take off his clothes and verify it in court!"

Before Guo Yuanwai could quibble, two Jin Yiwei standing behind him, one on the left and one on the right, took off his clothes.

Sure enough, on his left shoulder, he saw a red flesh scar.

The scar was very small, at first glance it was thought to be a sarcoma, so just now Yang Xiu envied him for teasing Guo Yuanwai for a long time, but he didn't find any wounds on the old man's body.

"Although I escaped a catastrophe at that time, I temporarily hugged my chastity. But this huge Guo family is full of people from my father-in-law. If he really wants to persecute me, how can I escape when I go back?"

Jiao's daughter closed her eyes in pain, her beautiful eyes filled with tears.

"At that time...all thoughts were lost, and I just wanted to die. At least after I died, I could go to the sky to meet the officials."

So later, there was the act of the "fair woman" Jiao who hanged herself in the back garden.

At that time, the whole Guo family was in chaos because of the death of the young lady, and Master Guo was injured at the time, but he didn't dare to let others know, so the Guo family hastily restrained Jiao's family and buried her in the ancestral hall.

It never occurred to them that Jiao Shi just passed out out of breath, not really dead.

Mr. Guo felt guilty and didn't dare to see his daughter-in-law's "body" at all, and the fat sister-in-law was even more ashamed.Only her maid, Cuicui, saved Jiao's body.

Cuicui put the ivory and gemstone comb that was her favorite in front of her young lady into her palm, and put on her the hairpin jewelry that she often wears in recent years.

Because the Jiao family "died" in midsummer, fearing that his body would melt, the body was left in the ancestral hall for three days before being buried hastily.

After the funeral procession left, Jiao Shi, who had been nailed to the coffin board and buried in the cemetery, finally woke up faintly.

What greeted her was a dark and cold interior of the coffin.

She struggled and shouted for help, pushing her elbows and scratching the coffin board with her nails, trying to tell the people outside that she is not dead, she is still alive, there is a living person here!

Jiao Shi didn't know how long he had been struggling, but he felt that it was getting more and more difficult to breathe. There was not much air left in the small space.Under her violent movement and shouting before, there are very few left now.

Just when Jiao was in despair, she heard the sound of "da da" knocking on the coffin.

There are people outside!

"'Ono', although he lives on the wild fruits on the mountain, but occasionally he will go down the mountain to make tooth sacrifices..."

Jiao looked gratefully at the idiot she called "Xiaoye".

"He would often go to the graves of various families to steal sacrifices. Especially during the Qingming Festival and the Winter Solstice, and around the Chinese New Year, every family would go to the grave. When they left, they would not take all the fruits and dishes with them. So these are all into Ono's stomach."

Seeing Jiao's smile, "Xiaoyezhong" also smiled.

"In addition to the fixed festivals, Ono found that there was something to eat after the funeral procession... That day, when he was eating 'my tribute' outside, he heard my cry for help."

Yang Xiuxian looked at the fool's palm as wide as a shovel, and thought that only people with such extraordinary talents could dig coffins with bare hands...

"When I saw Xiao Ye, I thought I had seen a ghost... But then I found out that Xiao Ye was a good boy. He saved me. He took me back to the earth temple, gave me something to eat and water to drink .It was he who saved me, he was my savior."

As Jiao said, he knelt down affectionately to "Xiaoyezhong".

"Xiaoyezhong" didn't know what this meant, so he followed her example and kowtowed to the floor.Jiao knocked one, and he was about to knock three, as if he was in a competition, which made Wanda laugh wryly.

"This Xiaoye... Xiaoye is so afraid of people, but he saved you by accident. It can be seen that God is not blind. You are all victims of these two beast masters. It is God who has eyes and left you Two lives!"

Wanda said with emotion.

The author has something to say: Whether it is the chastity archway or female virtues, it is the extreme oppression of women in the feudal society.Thanks to this day and age, there is no such thing anymore.But what we have to be vigilant about is that the chaste archway made of stone is gone, but the archway in people's minds is still there!The vitality of this thing is very strong.

Here is a quote from Mr. Lu Xun:

May the Chinese youth get rid of the air-conditioning and just go up,

Don't listen to the words of self-defeating people.

Do things that can do things, and make a sound.

There is heat, and there is light.

Like a firefly, it can shine a little light in the dark,

No need to wait for the torch.
