The Age of Awakening: From the Young Runtu

Chapter 185 Execution
The little girl is gone.

The people from the Hua family are in a hurry.

Despite foot binding.

But the family loves her.

Foot binding is also for the good of little girls.

Can marry better.

When the person disappeared, the family was more anxious.

"Where is Xiao Hua, where did Xiao Hua go?"

Several elders are very anxious.

"Is it because of the foot binding? Xiao Hua ran away."

"Where can a seven-year-old go?"

"Report to the officer."

If it was before, I might not dare to report to the official.

It's different now.

In Jiashan now, the first thing to do is to report to the official.

Security is very good.

There are so many new troops.

Very few dare to seek trouble.

"Have you seen Daniel? I seem to have seen Daniel sneaking around. Did he take Xiaohua away?"

"I'm going to Daniel's house."

Xiaohua's parents quickly divided up the work.

One went to the county government to report to the official, and the other went directly to Daniu's house.

Come early in the morning.

Go knock on Daniel's door.

"Who is it? Sister-in-law of the Hua family."

"Is Daniel there?"

"It was still there yesterday, but I haven't seen it today. I probably went to Mr. Zhang's house."

"Sister-in-law of the Hua family, what's the matter with you?"

"My daughter is missing. I saw your big cow wandering around my house yesterday, and asked, did the big cow take my daughter away."

"How is it possible, my baby is honest and responsible, otherwise he wouldn't be able to do things for Mr. Zhang, right? You can't spit blood on others."

Da Niu thought for a while.

Yesterday Daniel told him about Xiaohua.

I said foot binding.

I thought to myself, could it be that my son really did it.

Binding people's feet is their business, so don't care what they do.

Is there anyone in the city who doesn't bind his feet?

The ones in the countryside are better, and the ones in the city basically have their feet bound.

If you are a big family in the countryside, you will also bind your feet.

Hundreds of years of foot binding history.

Think of foot binding as a trend, fashionable.

Basically all around.

Those who are not entangled will be looked down upon instead.

Those who bind their feet will be much better off if they marry.

Although the Reform Movement of [-] already advocated not to bind feet.

both failed.

What should be entangled is still entangled.

Only when the Qing Dynasty is gone.The concept has changed slightly.

"Da Niu's father, you really don't know?"

"Sister-in-law of the Hua family, am I guilty of lying to you? I really don't know. If the matter is done by a big cow, I will break his leg. I can't break it. He is working for Mr. Zhang now, and his boy is only Zhang. Only adults can punish him, right?"

Daniel does things for Runtu, so that he, as a father, will have more face.

In Jiashan, there may be people who don't know the county magistrate, but basically everyone knows about Runtu.

When Aunt Hua heard this, she probably didn't know.

But in her opinion, her daughter was most likely taken away by Daniel.

They are neighbors.

Very close.

I thought about going to Zhang's mansion to have a look.

Go to Zhang's house.

Knocked on the door.

"Who are you looking for?"

"Is Daniel there?"

"Who are you from Da Niu?"

"Neighbor, his aunt."

"Wait a minute, I'm going to call someone now."

Close the door, turn around and leave.

"Daniu, someone is looking for you outside."

"Who?"

"Your neighbor, your aunt, surnamed Hua."

Daniel immediately understood.

Go out and have a look.

Seeing Daniel, Mrs. Hua immediately said, "Daniu, did you take my daughter away?"

"Yes, Xiaohua doesn't want to bind her feet, so I brought her out."

"You! How dare you. Where is she now?"

"It's in Zhang's house. Aunt Hua, Xiao Hua is very safe in the adult's house now, you should go back first."

"That's my daughter, adults can't force her to stay."

She still loves her daughter.

Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain.

I want to wrap my feet as soon as possible.

The longer it drags on, the harder it will be for her daughter.

One time solution.

It only hurts once, not so hard.

"Auntie, Mrs. Zhang has already known about this and forbids foot binding. A notice has been issued that all girls in Jiashan can no longer bind their feet."

Daniel said loudly.

In his opinion, as long as it is a decision made by Runtu, there is nothing that cannot be accomplished.

"Is that what your lord said?"

Mrs. Hua was stunned.

After all, it is not so easy to discard the hundreds of years of tradition.

Full people enter the customs.

It is also very troublesome to shave your hair and engage in yin and yang head.

Leave the hair but not the head, cut off a lot.

This was carried out only when there was a threat to his life.

It is estimated that there will be no small obstacles to not binding feet.

"Of course, I don't dare to be careless. The adults already know about Xiao Hua, he wrote the notice himself. You should go to the street to see it, and it should have started posting."

Mrs. Zhang was taken aback for a moment.

Unexpectedly, Runtu would even take care of this matter.

Knowing that Jiashan can develop so well, it all depends on Runtu.

Thinking about what Runtu said, is it true that foot binding is not acceptable?

I was still thinking in my heart, if I didn't bother, how would my daughter marry into a rich family.

If you don't bind your feet, your husband's family will look down on you.

She didn't know what to do either.

Stalemate here.

After thinking about it, I still go back first.

Zhang's house is not a place where she can mess around.

Xiaohua's father went to the county government to report the case.

"Tell me."

"My lord, my daughter is lost."

"How long have you lost it, and when did you lose it. What's your daughter's name, and what's your name?"

"My name is Hua Degui, and my daughter's name is Hua Cai'er. I was still there last night, but when I woke up in the morning, my daughter was gone."

Record the general situation.

The yamen servant took it seriously.

The case of missing persons is a big case.

If he was sneaky, he wouldn't be so concerned.

Asked a lot about the situation.When he knew that he was only seven years old, there was a high probability that he was taken away by someone.

"We'll investigate right away, and we'll let you know if we have any news."

This is a big case.

The people who arranged the Yamen began to investigate.

He also told the county magistrate about it.

Check out the dossier.

See if there are any recent cases of human traffickers.

In the past two years, the crime rate has been quite low.

There were many fights.

But there are really fewer human traffickers.

Runtu is more ruthless towards human traffickers.

Those personal trafficker organizations will not come to Jiashan to act.

There are so many places in the country, there is no need to be in Jiashan.

Runtu's punishment was quite harsh.

Especially for traffickers.

Start looking now.

Several yamen servants went directly to Hua's house to check to see if there were any clues.

A lot of yamen's power was used.

Without equipment, there are relatively few ways to solve crimes now.

The method of solving the crime is not clever, but the criminal's method of committing the crime is also not clever.

It is relatively simple to check.

The yamen servants in Jiashan are still of high quality.

Not long after, the suspect was locked on Daniel.

The identity of Daniel was found.

"Sir Zhang under Mr. Zhang, should we still check?"

"Check. What kind of person is Mr. Zhang? If this man named Daniu really committed a crime, Mr. Zhang will not spare him."

Although Jiashan has a county magistrate, everyone knows that Runtu is the most powerful one.

Today's Jiashan still uses the system when Runtu was there.

Various bureaus and departments.

Some institutions only obeyed Juntu's orders.

Especially the new army.

A new army of 8000 people.

Daily training.

Eat meat every day.

I often take baths with liquid medicine and take medicine.

Physical fitness is much stronger than the average army.

The yamen servant went to Zhang's house.

"Put away the knife at your waist. We just need to talk about the matter. If the seven-year-old girl is missing, if it is really done by this big cow, it must be investigated thoroughly. Mr. Zhang's wisdom cannot be let down by some small Three is ruined."

open the door.

"What's the matter with you guys?"

The person who opened the door saw these people in official uniforms.

I know it's the county yamen's yamen servant who catches up fast.

"Let's find Daniel and ask and investigate some things."

"People from the county government office? Do you know whose house this is? Don't bother me if you have nothing to do."

People from the county government came to Zhang's mansion to investigate the case, which is considered to be the following crime.

"I'm on duty, please ask Daniel to come out for a while."

"Wait."

Turn away.

"Daniu, someone is looking for you, this time it's someone from the yamen. What have you done that is outrageous? Even the people from the county yamen have come to look for you."

Daniel was also quite confused, so he went out to have a look.

"what's the matter?"

"Received a report from the Hua family, and the investigation found that you took the daughter of the Hua family away, right?"

"it's me."

Daniel directly admitted it.

The servants were dumbfounded.I didn't expect people to agree so quickly.There are some words that I don't know how to say at once.

"What about the little girl?"

"It's in Zhang's mansion, Mr. Zhang has seen her, why, you want to take her away?"

"Sorry, we were reckless."

The yamen servants thought that even Runtu knew about this, so it would definitely not be a kidnapping case.

Very annoyed, the Hua family has nothing to report.

Take people away, this matter will not be taken care of.

At this time, the streets and alleys began to post notices.

Foot binding and chest binding are prohibited throughout the county.

The content of the notice was also placed in magazines and newspapers.

For so long, magazines and newspapers have had a lot of influence.

At least in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, it is regarded as the newspaper and magazine with the largest sales share.

Not only Jiashan, but people in the surrounding areas know that Jiashan is enforcing the prohibition of footbinding.

Many people in Jiashan saw this notice.

There was a lot of discussion.

"You can't bind your feet anymore?"

"No corset."

"If you don't tie your chest, don't you smoke a lot."

From the current aesthetic point of view, smaller breasts look better.

The same goes for feet.

All like small.

The buttocks can be bigger, and the buttocks are bigger to give birth.

Especially in a few households, the girls in the family are almost of age, so they can't bind their feet.

Some tangled.

"If you don't hang around, it's not easy to get married."

But the notice has been sent.

Know this thing is not a joke.

If you continue to pester me, you will be imprisoned for a few months.

Direct coercion is not allowed.

"The head of the family, do you still want to pester your daughter?"

"Jiashan has changed too much in the past two years. How many people have been killed, we can do what the adults say. I can't bear to see my daughter hurt."

It hurts very badly when you touch it.

It is very painful to deform the foot.

Someone came to the county government to report the case.

"My lord, the Li family in the west of the city is still binding the feet of his daughter."

It's clearly written on the notice.

Anyone who reports will be rewarded.

It is directly fifty oceans.

This reward is big enough.

Now the wages of ordinary people in Jiashan are about ten oceans per month.

50 yuan is half a year's salary, and anyone is willing to report it.

The yamen servant went directly to Li's house in the west of the city.

Go straight up and get someone.

The woman's feet are already bound.

"Take them all away."

Take all the people from the Li family away.

Check it out.

Li's daughter's foot wrap was removed for her.

Not long after it was wrapped, it can be restored if it is removed.

If it takes a long time, it will be finalized.

Removing the cloth will have no effect.

"Why do you arrest people? What's wrong with foot binding? It's been like this for hundreds of years."

"I can't see the content on the notice, and committing crimes against the wind, you are very rampant, don't take adults seriously."

As soon as the notice came out, absolutely no one dared to do it.

Still have a batch to continue to do.

They were all thrown directly into the prison.

Turn it off for a while.

How to deal with it still needs to come up with a charter.

Killing is not enough, fines and imprisonment are a must.

Runtu also thought about expelling people from Jiashan directly.

Now Jiashan has a very large population.

The city has been expanding.

Homes have also been extended.

Even so, there is still an endless stream of people coming to Jiashan.

Post the notice and it works.

But there are people who are still doing it.

If it weren't for the rewards for reporting, no one might be caught.

Even so, someone did it secretly.

The punishment was still too light.

Runtu immediately issued another order, and anyone who violated it would be directly expelled from Jiashan.

Life in Jiashan is very easy now.

80.00% of the people in Jiashan are from other places.

If you become a Jiashan person, you will definitely not want to be expelled.

There are millions of people in Jiashan.

20 of them were originally local.

The rest of nearly a million are people around.

Refugees received include those who come here for fame.

Having finally come to Jiashan, it is unbearable to be expelled again.

Both newspapers and magazines published it.

It was printed and distributed.

had a relatively large impact.

are discussing.

There are many more people who oppose it than those who support it.

After all, the old tradition has always been like this.

What really made an impact was when the Qing Dynasty was gone.

After Mr. Sun formally promulgated the order to ban women's foot binding, things got better.It was not until after the New Culture Movement and the May Fourth Movement that the prohibition of footbinding became mainstream.

Not yet.

There are too many people who oppose it.

Those who support are usually new schools.

"It's Jiashan again. This policy is beneficial to the country and the people. Women's feet are entangled and it is inconvenient to move. This is a good deed."

Runtu even thought about cutting the braids.

Foot binding is prohibited.

If you cut your braids, you are openly opposing the imperial court, so you should wait a little longer.

There are only [-] new troops in hand, which is still not safe enough.

"All kinds of government decrees in Jiashan, the ban on opium smoking, clearly pointed out that opium smoking has poisoned the people for a hundred years, and countless people have lost their homes and families. Banning opium is a good deed. It prohibits foot binding, establishes new schools, newspapers, magazines, and most of the factories. , Daxing Westernization. Could it be that the ministers of the capital reform fled the capital and came to Jiashan?"

What Jiashan is doing now is reform.

Even more thoroughly.

Fortunately, it is in Jiashan, where the emperor is far away.

If it was in the capital, it would have been stopped long ago.

"All kinds of means show that there are capable people. I want to go to Jiashan to have a look."
