Chapter 117 willing to die
With Zhang Wenyuan's story, Gao Bonian couldn't help but squirted directly.
This is the thing. Wang Xu, his ancestors, has always been rich, but although their family has no ability, they have a clue to slowly accumulate wealth in the business of small businesses. Gradually, they have been moving mountains for several generations, and have changed from a small landlord to one of the top rich people in the county.
However, the Wang family men have always had a problem, that is, they are afraid of inner self!
The same is true for Wang Xu's generation. His dead son Wang Daoping also showed this sign. After seeing his father's experience, he decided to get married immediately, and he has been delayed until he is 18 years old and has not yet got married.
Wang Xu took Zhang, a wealthy family member from another county, and the Zhang family dared to get married, and he revealed his nature. He was a domineering shrew. The reason why he was called this is because Wang Xu took a concubine twice.
It was almost the most common thing for men to take concubines from wealthy families in the Song Dynasty, but it was an exception in the Wang family in Yuncheng.
The Wang family believes in the Tao, and everything is indifferent and does everything goes with your heart.
The same is true for Zhang. After getting married, he gave birth to his son Wang Daoping, and then he refused to have children. He said that having a child was like walking in the gate of hell. For this reason, Wang Xu severely scolded her. Then Zhang was beaten up with a bruised nose and swollen face. He didn't dare to go out for half a month.
Wang Xu couldn't afford to offend his woman, so he wanted to raise a concubine. But he just looked at a maid in his family. Before he could do anything, he was discovered by Zhang. In less than ten days, he decided to marry a three-inch nailed bark seller with a bun...
Gao Bonian widened his eyes when he heard this. He wanted to ask whether this guy was telling him about Wu Dalang.
Then... Wang Xu was beaten up again... He didn't go out for a month!
"puff!"
This time Gao Bonian couldn't help it.
"How miserable is this guy?" Gao Bonian felt a little sympathetic to Wang Xu.
Zhang Wenyuan held back his smile and continued to tell: "This is not over yet. Wang Xu has not given up yet. After half a year, he came up with another plan. This time he learned his lesson and did not do things under his woman's nose. Instead, he found a pretty yellow girl outside, using 20 guan as a bride price, and he would raise her outside first, and then take her back to recognize her ancestors after giving birth. The woman was jealous of money and agreed.
But he underestimated Zhang's ability too much and actually bribed the personal servant around him. So, just as he agreed, Zhang found out, so the woman searched for her husband's house for a month and her family for the second month. This time, Wang Xu didn't see anyone for two months! Haha..."
"Puff! Haha!" Gao Bonian smiled while holding his stomach: "This man lives really...haha..."
Zhang Wenyuan held back his smile for a long time and said, "But there was nothing I could do before. Isn't it the only child gone this time? Wang Xu was obviously moved again. Now, he asked the adult to tell him that if the adult could ask him to take a concubine, he would be willing to give him 300,000 stones of food and 200,000 yuan!"
"Damn!"
Gao Bonian suddenly widened his eyes. This guy is not only rich, but also too willing to let him go. A woman is worth so much money?
What is this being suffocated...
Gao Bonian couldn't help but ask: "How old is Wang Xu? Even if she really takes a concubine, can it still work?"
"Hehe, Wang Xu told me that he has been nourishing and his body is very strong, hehe..." Zhang Wenyuan smiled strangely.
Gao Bonian finally suppressed the shock in his heart, calmed down and said, "Well, go back and tell Wang Xu that this matter will definitely make him get what he wants! Don't worry! Then tell me what happened to Feifenglou."
Zhang Wenyuan became serious and said, "The madam Feifenglou was killed. This madam redeemed the old leader from a building in Tokyo, and then came to our Yuncheng County to buy a house, build this Feifenglou, and also invited a chef from Tokyo City to open a restaurant.
Then I bought some young ladies and trained them to start my old career. Then I became bigger and bigger, and became the Feifeng Tower today.
But now that she died, many people have come up with this idea. Some people are greedy for this building, some are greedy for those little ladies, some are young and pretty ladies, but some are ordinary and have a hard-working background, so there is no place to go. One of them has been hung the day before yesterday!
If adults don’t deal with it in time, I’m afraid there will be many people hanging their necks!
The lord is a good official and the people trust you. If this matter is spread, it will be detrimental to the lord's reputation!"
Gao Bonian pondered for a long time and nodded, "You are right. This matter really needs to be properly handled. In this way, you can wait for this county to go to this Feifeng Tower and tell the little lady there, and just say that if I let them stay for a few days, will there definitely be a proper way to deal with it? I will ensure that no little lady will be wronged and that I will not have any thoughts of suicide!"
Zhang Wenyuan left, but Gao Bonian fell into deep thought.
It’s not that he wanted to look for flowers and willows, but that he knew very well that China’s population base was not large in this era. Once the Jin soldiers went south, the population would inevitably shrink again. He didn’t want women to die at any time. Without women, the population was completely empty talk.
The status of women in this era is really low. If he doesn't care, there will probably be few good consequences for these women.
However, he really has no way, and he needs to think carefully.
The next day was the day when the verdict was made by Min Zhang, and many people came to watch outside the county government.
In the lobby of Gao Bonian, two rows of yamen runners stood on both sides. Until this time, Gao Bonian still did not think of two other ways.
"mighty……"
The ground was hit by the water and fire sticks, making Gao Bonian's thoughts come back to his eyes.
"Bang!"
Take a picture of the gavel!
"Take a prisoner!" Gao Bonian shouted loudly.
Soon, Min Zhang, who was shackled, was brought over with a tragic expression.
At the same time, there was a woman who looked around 2434 years old and was quite beautiful, but she was very thin and had a very weak face, obviously malnourished, and she also looked desperate at this moment.
Gao Bonian was surprised and hurriedly asked Zhang Wenyuan, the lieutenant who was acting as a master next to him: "Who is this woman?"
Zhang Wenyuan said: "This is Min Zhang's wife Qi. According to the law, the husband commits a crime, and women become prisoners, meaning that they have not disciplined their own men well!"
Gao Bonian: “…”
What a bullshit law! Gao Bonian was furious.
"Is this Qi himself a crime?" Gao Bonian's tone a little cold.
Zhang Wenyuan didn't understand what Gao Bonian meant. He was shocked and quickly whispered: "After investigation, there was no crime! Moreover, Min Zhang had a hot temper and often beat and scolded her. He once had a son in this life, but he died young. Min's father died early and his mother Yao raised him. However, because he was drunk once, he beat and scolded Qi very hard. His son was 7 years old. He went up to pull him up and kicked him one foot. Yao happened to come to persuade him, and was scolded by Min Zhang and fell ill. Because Qi was beaten, his son went out to dig wild vegetables a few days later and was bitten by poisonous snakes, and he disappeared. So Yao was so angry that he was so angry that he died before three months! Since then, Qi has been even more miserable."
Gao Bonian's face turned pale and nodded and shouted, "Who is kneeling down?"
"Sinner Min Zhang!"
"Sinner Wife Qi!"
Gao Bonian nodded and said, "Qi's ties can be relieved from kneeling and get up and talk!"
A yamen runner came forward to loosen his ties and wanted to help Qi up.
Everyone was shocked, but they didn't dare to speak, but their eyes were strange.
"Sir, thank you!" Qi was stunned for a moment, then tears filled his eyes, and he kowtowed Gao Bonian with a sob.
Gao Bonian ignored these things and then looked at Min Zhang and said angrily: "The criminal Min Zhang, who was a toll-door, killed several people in succession, violated the court's laws. It can be said that the crime was aggravated and wasted the court's expectations. This was a crime of disloyalty. This was one; unfilial to the old mother, which caused Yao to die of anger, which was unfilial. This was two; not caring about his wife and children, beating his wife and children, causing his son to die young, which was an unkind. This was three; an affair with bandits, and accomplice to open the city gate with relatives and friends, and putting him in danger was an unrighteous crime. This was four!
Such unfaithful and unfilial, unkind and unrighteous people have great sins and everyone can punish them!
The county sentenced that the criminal Min Zhang, at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, pushed out the South Gate and beheaded and displayed in public!"
"Okay!" The people watching outside shouted loudly, and Qi even cried into tears.
"Bang!"
Gao Bonian took a picture of the gavel again, and everyone immediately calmed down and listened quietly to Gao Bonian's words.
"Min Zhang's wife Qi married into the Min family and was deeply abused and unable to stop her. She lived a difficult life. After investigation, there was no crime. The county is now sentenced to: Qi is not guilty and released in court!
In addition, the county will issue a document to resign Min Zhang in the same court, and return him to his freedom and allow him to remarry! All the assets in Min Zhang's family will be inherited by the Qi family, and no one will be allowed to cheat!"
Gao Bonian's voice came from Lang Lang in the lobby, and everyone was shocked.
Min Zhang was sentenced to beheading and decisive, but Qi was found not guilty and an old case of Min Zhang's abuse of his old mother, wife and children was found. It was really unexpected. What's even more amazing is that Gao Bonian actually directly ruled that Qi had divorced Min Zhang and was still free, which was unprecedented.
It has always been a man who divorces women. When did a woman divorce men? Now it is a precedent!
"Minister Qi, the civilian woman, Xie Qingtian! Wow! Wow..." Qi knelt on the spot and cried loudly, and the bitterness in his heart suddenly vented.
Some yamen runners wanted to come forward to stop them, but Gao Bonian waved his hand to stop them. Let this miserable woman vent.
"Greetings to Master Qingtian! My decree is good!" A sudden roar in the crowd outside, and some of the onlookers knelt down and kowtowed!
Gao Bonian slapped the gavel again and shouted "Get out!"
The judgment is completed.
Then, Gao Bonian walked down the lobby and helped Qi up with his own hands: "Come on quickly, Min Zhang has nothing to do with you. Live your own life in the future. If you find a good family, marry and live a good life. If you are not old, you will have a few fat boys, and you will have good luck in the future!"
"Thank you... Qingtian... Master..." Qi was so crying that he couldn't speak.
It was not until then that Gao Bonian walked outside and bowed to all the people who were kneeling down and said, "Dear elders, please get up! If you commit a crime, you should be punished, and if you are not guilty, you should be rewarded for your merits! Do not make random judgments. In the future, this county will be in Yuncheng County, and I hope you will help you all!"
"I am willing to die!" The people immediately shouted in unison, shaking the sky.
Chapter completed!
