Touring the Ming Dynasty

"No one can fool me. I smell lies from you. I ask you, did you go to the crime scene that night? What did you do? What time did you leave?" Duan Fei's eyes were like Sweeping across the eyes of the four people in front of him like a sharp sword, one of them looked at him calmly, while the other three avoided their eyes, some turned to the left and some turned to the right, and the other looked down and looked down. .

Before the four of them answered, Duan Fei pointed at one of them and said, "You are the murderer!"

"Why do you say I'm a murderer!" The man yelled disapprovingly.

Duan Fei said decisively: "Your eyes have betrayed you. When people remember, most of their eyes will turn to the right, and those who lie will turn their eyes to the left. But you, when you are mentally prepared, you put on a calm look. The answer has already been kept in your heart, so you don't have to recall it at all, and you don't blink or move your eyes, the murderer is not who you are!"

Countless bloody hands pointed at him from all directions, and countless voices shouted: "It's you, it's you, you are the murderer! It's you who killed us and took the pieces to feed the dogs!"

The man's complexion changed terribly and he finally collapsed. He howled loudly, squatted on the ground and scratched his head, and shouted: "I didn't kill anyone, I just killed a few scumbags, the scumbags who abandoned their husbands and sons..."

As soon as the screen changed, Duan Fei was already in court. He talked eloquently: "The murderer was abandoned by his mother since he was a child, so he developed hatred. Once he sees a woman beating and scolding a child, he will suddenly turn into a cunning and ferocious vengeful beast..."

"Detective Duan Fei! Long live the detective!"

The cheers were clamoring, rose petals and colorful stripes fell like rain, Duan Fei spread his hands, closed his eyes, and gladly accepted people's flattery and admiration...

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning fell from the sky and struck Duan Fei's forehead. Duan Fei...disappeared...

……

In front of the Town God's Temple, Huang Laoxiu looked at Duan Fei who was lying on the desk and sound asleep, shaking his head and sighing secretly: "The rotten wood can't be carved! I don't know what daydreaming I'm doing again."

But he didn't dare to grab the ruler to wake this guy up, and even lowered his chanting voice a lot on purpose.

Duan Fei, who was smiling and moaning while sleeping soundly, looked very innocent and cute, but this handsome guy who looked only seventeen or eighteen years old was a big harm to Baoying County!From Baoyingzhi County down to a three-year-old child, everyone knows the name of Brother Ah Fei!

Duan Fei has been an orphan since he was a child, and he spends his days on the streets. He is the boss of the gangsters in the east of the city. Last month, the Duan Fei faction and the One-eyed faction in the west of the city fought for territory. Although Duan Fei and the others won the battle, Duan Fei did not He was heroically beaten into a vegetable.

Shi Bin and other good brothers rescued Duan Fei in time to save Duan Fei's life, but he remained unconscious until a thunderstorm night ten days ago, when a big thunder struck the dilapidated earth temple where they lived, and the collapsed earth Duan Fei, who was buried in the temple, crawled out by himself, and his one-foot-long head exploded like a hedgehog. The strange appearance scared everyone on the spot and thought it was a fake corpse.

This Duan Fei is no longer the original Duan Fei. In the 21st century, another Duan Fei was playing the game "Sherlock Holmes 3" in front of the computer. Suddenly, a spherical lightning pierced through the wall and hit him. Duan Fei screamed before it was too late. Passed out, and when he woke up, he was already in the ruins and became a gangster. Duan Fei soon realized that such a wonderful thing like time travel actually happened to him, he began to plan for his future, and took the test. Being a civil servant with a diploma is obviously both face-saving and safe. In the future, when an official becomes a big man, money and beautiful women will naturally come uninvited...

After getting better, Duan Fei asked Old Master Huang to read the sage books. The news that Brother Afei was going to be a scholar was widely spread in Baoying County.

Just as everyone predicted, gangsters are gangsters after all. Duan Fei started to get bored after reading for a few days. Huang Xiucai, who was surprised by Duan Fei's talent at first, was a little disappointed, but he could only secretly sigh with envy. He didn't really dare to call himself a teacher. He was beaten by Duan Fei after paying the protection fee two months late, and his bones still hurt.

Duan Fei, who was drooling, had another sweet dream. He dreamed that he was lucky in this era, and beauties of all sizes—from loli to mature women—were throwing themselves at him one after another. Duan Fei, a beautiful woman who came back to modern times, has envied many people. All the women who knew him or never met him were speechless or even beating their chests and regretting endlessly...

Just when he was dizzy, a faint sigh suddenly sounded in Duan Fei's ears, and then a soft voice said: "Sir... the little girl is polite..."

The beautiful dream suddenly shattered, a female ghost with green face, fangs and disheveled hair threw herself in front of Duan Fei, and fell from heaven to hell in an instant. There was really a girl about fifteen or sixteen years old standing in front of her, dressed like a simple young woman, with tears in her eyes, she looked haggard, at this moment her eyes were full of distress and consternation, Staring blankly at Duan Fei, it was obvious that he had just been taken aback.

The little sister in front of me, wearing a coarse cloth dress and combing a young woman's bun, is the most beautiful woman Duan Fei has ever seen since he came to this era. It's a pity that she is only fifteen or sixteen years old, so why did she get married?

"This... little lady, do you want to write a letter for me?" Old Huang Xiucai looked at the little woman in front of her with a smile on her face. Duan Fei was sitting beside him. He hadn't opened for several days. , If you don’t earn some money to fill your stomach, I’m afraid the whole family will drink the Northwest Wind.

"No, I... I want to ask my husband to write the certificate for me..." the beautiful young woman said with a frown, and she said pitifully.

"A paper?" Huang Xiucai felt a little strange, but he didn't ask any more questions. He spread out a piece of white paper, picked up his cherished lake brush, boiled it full of thick ink, and said to the little woman: "A paper is no more than a letter. It takes a long time to write a letter." A piece of money and silver, say..."

The young woman said: "Mr. Mingjian...My family name is Qian and my name is Yulan. I am suing my father Qian Rong..."

Huang Xiucai wrote beautifully in Song style, but he stopped suddenly before writing a few words, then put the pen on the pen holder, looked up to the young woman Qian Yulan and said, "Sorry, I can't represent your paper. Write, please find another Gao Ming."

Qian Yulan's bright spring eyes clearly showed disappointment and confusion. At this age, she should be a lively girl, but at this moment, she is pitiful as if she has gone through many vicissitudes.

There was another faint sigh, and Duan Fei, who was staring at her without blinking his eyelids, was awakened again. He looked at Qian Yulan who turned away and shouted: "Wait a minute...Huang Xiucai, come to your door You don’t even want to earn the money that comes, are you fooled by lard? Little sister, if he doesn’t help you, I will help you, come back, come back!”

Qian Yulan turned around and gave Duan Fei a strange look. She didn't seem to recognize the famous person in Baoying County in front of her, and said with some distrust: "You...you can really help me write the pleadings? I asked There are several gentlemen who dare not write..."

"Why don't you dare," Duan Fei said carelessly, and he snatched the pleading paper that Old Master Huang had just written a few strokes, and after seeing it, he also frowned.

"Alas..." Qian Yulan sighed again, her heart was filled with disappointment again, and Huang Laoxiu who was on the side did not dare to offend Duan Fei, and patiently explained: "I was surprised just now, there are Li Tongsheng and the others at the gate of the county government office." The person who wrote the pleading paper...was afraid to write it. The daughter accused her father of being disobedient and unfilial. Besides, there was a rule in the Ming Dynasty that "relatives should be tolerated". , not only will the complainant have to sit back, but the person who came up with ideas and wrote the pleadings will also be implicated, ranging from being slammed, to being exiled for thousands of miles..."

"Da Ming Law" - the law of the Ming Dynasty - stipulates that if someone in the family commits a crime, it is not wrong for others to conceal it for him. The Ming Dynasty was the era when ethics such as three obediences and four virtues were popular, especially for women. Obey the father when married, obey the husband when married, and obey the son when the husband dies. Although the original "three obediences" is just the ancient mourning (going to mourning) system recorded in "Rituals and Funeral Clothes Zixia Biography", as a woman at a funeral, she must follow her father or husband or behind her son, but these words were misinterpreted and distorted by later generations, and became a magic weapon to imprison women. Qian Yulan, as an unmarried daughter, sued her father, which was an intolerable disobedience in the eyes of those famous scholars This move is going to turn the world upside down!The people who wrote the pleadings also kept themselves clean, for fear of getting into trouble, so Qian Yulan couldn't even find anyone who wrote the pleadings.

Qian Yulan originally only knew a little bit vaguely, but she finally understood after hearing Huang Xiucai's words. She was full of despair. No wonder no one dared to write a pleading for her. Is it so unreasonable for a daughter to sue her father?

Before Huang Laoxiu finished his words, Duan Fei began to scold, saying: "What kind of ghostly symbols are you writing? I can't understand a single word. Can't you write more correctly?"

Old Master Huang was so angry that he almost fainted. He even forgot that the guy next to him was an unlearned and incompetent hooligan. What bad things has this guy never done?How dare I explain the Law of Ming Dynasty to him!

Qian Yulan was also amused by Duan Fei in the infinite loss, and she lowered her eyes in disappointment in a blink of an eye, ready to accept the tragic fate, but she heard Duan Fei say: "Isn't it just that the daughter sued her father? Tell me about your grievances." Come and listen, if you don't think my handwriting is ugly, I will write this pleading paper for you!"

Qian Yulan gave him a serious look in surprise, Duan Fei grinned at her, and thought to himself: "Unfortunately, this little girl is already married, I wonder if there are any unmarried sisters and sisters in her family... First ask where she lives... ...It's a pity that there is no phone these days..."

Qian Yulan said softly, it turned out that this little woman hadn't been married yet, her father disliked her engaged husband's family's downfall, and wanted to divorce her, but her husband's family refused, her father actually asked someone to arrest her fiancé The son-in-law broke his leg, her fiancé was lying on the bed and couldn't move, the old lady was so angry that she vomited blood to death, her fiancé's family was poor and no one cared about her, and it was difficult to file a complaint. dressed as a woman, and came to sue for her future husband.

"There is such a stupid woman!" Duan Fei cried out in his heart, in the 21st century, such a poor ghost would have been kicked to Mars by the woman.

Seeing Qian Yulan's miserable but still resolute eyes, Duan Fei couldn't help picking up the brush, but...

Duan Fei's hesitation was noticed by Qian Yulan, and her heart was tortured by constant disappointment. Her eyes turned red, and she said sadly: "Father is fierce and domineering. I'm afraid I will be arrested on the way back home." Husband has no one to take care of him and has no money to treat him, that's all, I'll go to Huangquan Road and wait for him first."

Duan Fei was startled by Qian Yulan's miserable words, he rolled his eyes at her and said, "What are you arguing about, am I trying to find a way?" After speaking, he picked up his pen and began to write.

"Master Fei, you have to think twice..." Huang Xiucai shook his head and looked at it, and couldn't help reminding: "The pleadings should not be too long, within [-] characters, just be concise."

"The daughter of the people, Qian Yulan, sued her father...

...the fifth day of March in the 14th year of Zhengde"

Finally you're done!Duan Fei finished writing the pleading paper one stroke at a time. In Qian Yulan's eyes, the dog-like writing was like a magic pen. Are you willing to accept it, alas... the three cardinal principles and five constant principles, human relations and heavenly principles must not be violated, it is difficult, it is really difficult!"

"Three cardinal guides and five constant rules? Um... Father guides son guides husband guides wife... One side is father and the other is husband... Well, there is!" Duan Fei suddenly had an idea, picked up the pen again, and added a few words in front of the pleading paper, After drying the ink, hand it to Qian Yulan and said, "This way I won't be afraid, it will give the magistrate a headache, hehe!"

Qian Yulan looked at those words with tears in her eyes, Huang Xiucai stretched her neck curiously and read it out for her: "If you don't sue your husband, you will harm your father, you must sue, you must sue!... Wonderful... Really wonderful pole!"
