The days when I fished in Daming

Chapter 26 Molesting Women Has Serious Consequences

Wan Ling was a little at a loss, and replied in a panic.

"My lord, the little girl will not sue."

Zheng Yiyan was furious when he heard the words.

"Presumptuous, what do you think of me as Yingtianfu's government office? Come and leave whenever you want. You don't have to tell me. Come on, someone, drag me out and give me [-] slaps, so as to make an example of others."

"promise."

As soon as the yamen servant heard this, he made a gesture to pull Wan Ling out to beat the board.

Wan Ling was even more flustered at this time, and could only speak loudly in a hurry.

"My lord, the little girl has a grievance. This is my complaint. I hope that my lord will make the decision."

Zheng Yiyan snorted coldly, and the subordinate officer on the side took the pleading paper and handed it to Zheng Yiyan.

Although the Ming Dynasty started by defeating the Mongolian Yuan and restoring Chinese orthodoxy, it has only been established for three or four years now, and many things are based on the Yuan Dynasty.

Including this law, the famous Great Ming Law is still being produced.

"Da Ming Law" has the significance of reforming the old and reforming the old in the history of ancient Chinese law codification.It not only inherited the fine tradition of ancient Chinese law-making before the Ming Dynasty, but also a historical summary of the compilation of legal codes and documents of various dynasties in China before the Ming Dynasty, and also initiated the development of legislative activities in the Qing Dynasty and even modern China.

The process of formulating the law of the Ming Dynasty was in October of the first year of Wu (1367). Ming Taizu ordered Zuo Chancellor Li Shanchang and Yushi Zhongcheng Liu Ji to discuss the decree.In December, 430 articles of "Laws" were compiled, including 280 five articles of laws and 140 five articles of orders.At the same time, the "Law Order Direct Explanation" was issued to explain the meaning of the "Law Order".In November of the sixth year of Hongwu, Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty ordered Liu Weiqian, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments, to formulate the "Law of the Ming Dynasty" in detail based on the "Law Order".

It was completed in February of the seventh year of Hongwu and promulgated to the world.Its chapters are divided into twelve chapters, imitating "Laws of the Tang Dynasty", "Guardian", "Fighting Litigation", "Fraud", "Miscellaneous Laws", "Catching Death", "Broken Prison", and "Famous Cases".Thirty volumes, six hundred and six articles.In the 22nd year of Hongwu, a major modification was made to this, with "Ming Li" at the beginning of the chapter, divided into six laws according to the six functions of officials, households, rites, soldiers, punishments, and labors, with a total of 460 volumes and 30 articles. The traditional legal structure has changed drastically since then.Hongwu re-promulgated in May [-]th year, and at the same time stipulated that other announcements and prohibitions should be abolished, and the prison sentence should be based on this.

There is also the big patent, which is the tomb of officials. As long as the common people hold the big patent and escort officials to Beijing, they will not be stopped along the way.

It is still the system of Xiyuan, and so is this law.

Wan Ling's family is also considered wealthy. Although she is spoiled, her daughter's family may not have learned the three obediences and four virtues, but she still knows how to read and write.

There is also a collection of books at home, and she has also found out the laws of Qianyuan, and there is also an explanation of the laws of Mengyuan who molested women. This is also the confidence of Wanling to come here.

In ancient China, criminals who molested and insulted women were severely punished! ".

"During the Qin and Han Dynasties, if you molested, insulted and violated a woman, the criminal would be castrated directly, and the whole family would be ashamed!", "The punishment for the crime of rape in ancient times, before the Han Dynasty, was mainly based on the confiscation of the tools used to commit the crime! The criminal was castrated directly!".

"In the Tang and Song dynasties, criminals who molested and insulted women were mainly hanged!".

"In the Yuan Dynasty, if a woman was molested and insulted, the criminal would be beaten until his whole body was bruised, his face would be engraved and he would be exiled to a wasteland for thousands of miles, and the whole family would be punished for several generations! The criminals who raped and insulted women in the Yuan Dynasty were mainly killed and abandoned the city!"

“Punishments were very severe in the Ming and Qing dynasties! In the Ming Dynasty, if you molested and insulted a woman, the criminal would be imprisoned and sentenced to death or beheaded!”

Of course, the actual behavior must also be considered. If you really want to get started, the powerless and powerful can only wait for death, and the powerful and powerful can only see if they are born in the right era.

Hooligans and bullies who dare to molest women from good families in broad daylight can only happen in the era when rituals and music have collapsed, and there are still chivalrous acts of righteousness, because this is stipulated in the law, and it is reasonable to go anywhere.

And Lao Zhu's era is the rising period of a country, the law is guaranteed, and Lao Zhu is an existence who can't rub the sand in his eyes.

After receiving the pleading paper, Zheng Yiyan read it carefully. The content probably meant that Zheng Xiong molested women from good families, and the conversation that day was also described.

Molesting women is a big deal, but it's just a bit of rhetoric, and there is no excessive action. Things can be big or small. If you don't handle it properly, you can drive people to death, and it's not a joke.

Women in this era attach great importance to fame and integrity. Chaste and strong women are not derogatory terms, they are all able to set up memorial archways, and they are role models for future generations.

After some consideration.

"What you said is one-sided, come here, bring Zheng Xiong here."

Although Zheng Xiong didn't come to the government office very often, but he belonged to Ying Tianfu, he was his own person, and Zheng Yiyan was proud of doing so many things, so let the errand runners remind Zheng Xiong, and think about countermeasures on the way.

It's a pity that Zheng Xiong didn't take it seriously, and he didn't ask carefully on the way. He didn't know until he arrived at the government office. Zheng Xiong realized that the matter was a bit serious at this time. He really wanted to force the other party into a chaste and strong woman.

After Zheng Xiong arrived, one or two hours had passed, and Zheng Yiyan tried a few more cases, and many people surrounded the government office.

The hearing seems to have come from a foreign country, and it is very fair and just. In fact, it is not surprising at all. In ancient times, crowds of onlookers can be seen everywhere. If the judgment is not good, they dare not throw rotten eggs at you.

As an ancient civilization with a history of 5000 years, we have our own traditions and inheritance. Modern development cannot be achieved overnight.

Seeing Zheng Xiong coming, Zheng Yiyan brought the two parties to the court. Zheng Yiyan played a trick here, and Zheng Xiong saved face for himself anyway, and he could help out within the rules.

"Bring Wanling, and Huimin Pharmacy brought Zheng Xiong here."

Hearing Zheng Xiong's name may not be familiar to some people, but the top leader of Huimin Pharmaceutical Bureau is like a thunderbolt. It is under Zheng Xiong's leadership that Huimin Pharmaceutical Bureau has accomplished these major events that benefit the people, and its attitude unconsciously favors Zheng Xiong.

When the two came to the front of the hall, Wan Ling knelt down and bowed down. In Zheng Xiong's independent hall, the surrounding audience didn't think he was peacekeeping, but Wan Ling couldn't see the form clearly.

"My lord, it's this disciple, all the girls are kneeling and worshiping you, and they regard you as the sky, but he is indifferent, obviously he doesn't take you seriously."

Zheng Xiong stared at the sky speechlessly, he still had a bit of a brain, and he would still drive the two of them apart, but he couldn't see the pattern clearly, and was about to speak.

Zheng Yiyan spoke ahead of time.

"It's okay, Zheng Xiong has fame and fame, and Huimin Pharmacy has withdrawn it, so you don't need to bow down, just talk about your grievances and how you want to solve them."

"On the day of this apprentice... I also ask the adults to make the decision and punish this apprentice."

Once Balabala spoke, everyone in the audience understood what had happened. The man looked at Zheng Xiong with an inexplicable smile, and the woman looked at Wan Ling with confusion.

It was a trivial matter, and Zheng Xiong was just talking about it. If it were to go online, a lot of people would die. Besides, there are only a few people in your family, and only a few of you know what you are talking about. Even if you spread it, it won't ruin your reputation.

You know it the next day if you make such a noise all over the world, and your reputation must be ruined.
