Concubine

Chapter 234

Of course Yang Qiuchi is not a god, he just used modern criminal investigation fingerprint technology and a little trick to solve this small case.After the teapot is handed over to the Yamen, other people cannot touch the teapot until the owner is identified. Therefore, the teapot should have the fingerprints of the real owner and no other person's fingerprints.

He first took the teapot to the internal office, used a magnetic fingerprint brush and scotch tape to extract the fingerprints on the teapot, and fixed it on a piece of paper. sleeve.

Back in the hall, the plaintiff and the defendant were asked to kowtow in the earth temple outside to divert everyone's attention, and then compared the palm prints on the two oaths with the fingerprints just extracted.

Although there were many fingerprints on the teapot including Yang Qiuchi's own fingerprints, he only needed to confirm which of the plaintiff and the defendant had no fingerprints on the teapot. The defendant Jiang Wenming's fingerprints did not have the plaintiff Zhu Jiaohua's fingerprints, so it was determined that the teapot belonged to the defendant Jiang Wenming, and the plaintiff Zhu Jiaohua was lying.

Yang Qiuchi then took out the brush dipped in scallion juice and drew a grimace on Zhu Jiaohua's oath.Deliberately dawdling and procrastinating for a long time, after the green onion juice on the paper dried up and then went to the Earth Temple to put on a pose, lit the paper money in the incense burner, and roasted the oath of Zhu Jiaohua with the grimace on the fire. The onion juice used to draw ghost faces forms a substance similar to a transparent film on the surface of the paper. This substance has a lower ignition point than paper, and it will change color after being baked.So, that grimace emerges.

Because this is based on the real fingerprint identification conclusion, of course it also accurately pointed out the liar, and using the awe of the gods of the ancients, the plaintiff Zhu Jiaohua was forced to admit the lie through the apparition, and the case was successfully resolved.

Yang Qiuchi said to Zhu Jiaohua who was kneeling: "When you see money, you pretend to take other people's lost things. Not only do the villains sue first, but you also swear and swear. You know, there are gods standing three feet up! God sent, I must give you a little warning to treacherous people like you. Come on! Take him out and flog him twenty times, and show the shackles to the public for a month!"

The slaves dragged Zhu Jiaohua down to the platform in front of the lobby, beat him twenty boards, put Zhu Jiaohua on a [-]-jin wooden shackle, and dragged him outside the yamen for a public display amidst the laughter of the audience. .

Yang Qiuchi ordered that the blue and white short-mouth teapot be awarded to the defendant Jiang Wenming.Jiang Wenming thanked Master Qingtian for his bright mirror hanging high, and kowtowed again and again.

Yang Qiuchi told him to back down, Jiang Wenming was about to leave, Master Jin said: "Wait a minute~!" He leaned into Yang Qiuchi's ear and whispered: "My lord, the owner has to give half of the price to the person who picked it up." let's go."

"What? The owner still needs to give money? Who stipulated it?" Yang Qiuchi said, thinking that it is a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation to pick up money without hesitation, and it should be encouraged, but I haven't heard that there are still half of the money picked.

The current law in our country stipulates that if you refuse to return the found things, you can constitute the crime of embezzlement, but it is a crime of personal prosecution, that is to say, the owner must go to the court to prosecute and prove it before he can be held criminally responsible.There is no such system of half-picking, but if there are expenses incurred in the management of the found objects, expenses incurred in finding the owner, and losses such as lost work, the owner can be required to compensate for the management without cause.

Master Jin knew that the magistrate of the county could not understand all the criminal laws, otherwise what would he do as a master, he said with a low voice, "My lord, this is the regulation of our "Law of the Ming Dynasty."

The law of the Ming Dynasty indeed stipulates this: "Anyone who has lost something should send it to the official within five days. The official property should be returned to the official, and the private property should be recognized by others. Half of it will be given as a reward to the person who got it, and half will be given to the person who returned the lost property. If Those who are not recognized within [-] days will be given in full."

As soon as Yang Qiuchi heard the regulations of the Great Ming Law, since Master Jin said so, there must be some, so he nodded and said to Jiang Wenming: "Your blue and white short-mouth teapot was handed over to the yamen after the owner picked up the money and picked it up. Only you can claim it back, according to the regulations of the Ming Dynasty, you should pay half of the price as a reward to the person who finds the object.”

Jiang Wenming was honest, honestly took out ten taels of silver and handed it over, Yang Qiuchi ordered the person waiting outside the lobby to pick up the lost item to come up and receive the reward.This case is just over.

The second case was a bigamy case. Yang Qiuchi didn't bother to look at the sloppy complaint, so he directly passed on the plaintiff, Li Daniu, and said, "What do you want to sue, tell me in court."

Li Daniu kowtowed and said, "My lord, 13 years ago, my sister Mingmei was married to the defendant Wang Ke. Unexpectedly, this Wang Ke, with a face of beasts, kept it from us and married Li Chengming and Li Yuanwai's niece in six ceremonies in the city. Wife, one person and two wives, where do I put my sister? Please let the old man decide for us."

Public bigamy?This kid must be too brave, Yang Qiuchi ordered the defendant to come to the court.

Defendant Wang Ke was brought into the lobby and knelt down.Yang Qiuchi asked: "Is what the plaintiff said true?"

Wang Ke stabbed and said: "That's right."

Yang Qiuchi was slightly taken aback, how could this kid break the law and still be so awesome, and asked: "You married Li Daniu's sister first, but you haven't divorced your wife yet, and the matchmaker is marrying someone else's daughter, why?"

"Li Daniu's younger sister is lazy and ugly. Of course, I will marry another one." Wang Ke said with his neck crossed.

Yang Qiuchi's heart gradually became angry, and he was about to ask again, but Li Daniu yelled: "You are talking nonsense! My sister is kind and gentle, she is a husband and a teacher, and she has been with you for more than ten years, and has given birth to your children and daughters. The young old man has suffered a lot. When you were carrying a hoe and farming in your old home, why didn’t you say that my sister was bad? Now that you have climbed a high branch, do you think my sister is old and frivolous?"

Wang Ke's eyes slanted: "That's right, I think she's old and pale, what's the matter? Are you biting me?"

"You! You bastard, I will fight with you!" Li Daniu got up and was about to hit Wang Ke.

Yang Qiuchi yelled, and slapped the gavel: "Bold! No noise is allowed in the courtroom! Do you want to be boarded?" Li Daniu was startled, and hurried back to his original position, knelt down and kowtowed.

"That's right!" Wang Ke pointed at Li Daniu and shouted, "He's roaring in court, hit him! Why don't you beat him, old man? You old man..."

Yang Qiuchi's heart surged up to the top of his head, he slapped the gavel, and interrupted him: "I want you to teach me how to deal with this county?"

Wang Ke just shut up, with a very dissatisfied expression on his face.

Yang Qiuchi suppressed his anger and asked: "Wang Ke, this county asks you, are there seven reasons for Li Daniu's sister?"

"Of course! He is lazy, disrespectful to his parents-in-law, jealous..." Wang Ke was counting his fingers.

"Fart! You bastard, you've been married to my sister for 13 years, why haven't you heard a word of gossip about my sister? Last year, after you became the concierge of Li Chengming's family, you thought you were on a high branch and lied to Li Chengming that Unmarried, married his disabled niece..."

Yang Qiuchi patted the gavel to stop Li Daniu's words, and continued to ask Wang Ke: "Since his sister has so many problems, why didn't you divorce his wife?"

"I...I..." Wang Ke was at a loss for words for a moment, then his neck slumped, and he said, "I want to take a break, but I just don't have time!"

It turned out to be Chen Shimei, who is ungrateful for profit!When Chen Shimei was still so coquettish, Yang Qiuchi turned around and asked Master Jin: "Mr. Jin, how does our "Da Ming Law" stipulate bigamy?"

Master Jin replied: "The "Law of the Great Ming Dynasty" stipulates: 'If there is a wife who marries another wife, the stick will be ninety, and the divorce will be divorced.'"

Our country is a society of patriarchal ethics, and "one husband and one wife" is regarded as the basic principle of marriage. The ancients said: "Princes have no two concubines", which means that even princes and emperors cannot marry two wives at the same time. "Tang Law Shuyi" also said: "Monogamy is an unbearable system."The "Baihu Tongyi" edited by Ban Gu in the Eastern Han Dynasty also said: "Wives are equal, and they are equal to their husbands. From the emperor to the common people, their righteousness is the same."It means that there can only be one wife who is equal to her husband.

Therefore, "marrying a wife more" has been banned by the law since ancient times, and the law of the Ming Dynasty also clearly stipulates that "marrying a wife more" not only requires spanking, but also forcibly dissolves the marriage relationship.However, the law governs the law. According to ancient documents, in real life in ancient times, marriages were not uncommon, and it was up to the government to take care of them.

Yang Qiuchi said: "Okay! Drag this Wang Ke out for me, and give me a hard time!"

Zaoli agreed in unison to drag Wang Ke forward.Wang Ke shouted: "Hey! Do you know who I am? Do you dare to hit me? Don't you want to be a sesame official?"

Yang Qiuchi was taken aback, he sounded like a concierge after hearing this, as if Yang Qiuchi was a reward for this official.Yang Qiuchi laughed back angrily, waved his hands, and asked, "Who are you? Are you the Minister of the Ministry of Officials?"

"I'm Li Chengming, the concierge of Mr. Li's family! I'm Mr. Li's niece and son-in-law! You don't even ask, who is Mr. Li's old man!" Wang Ke sneered.

Yang Qiuchi was going crazy with rage, the gavel slapped the mountain loudly, and shouted: "Bold and unreasonable, how dare you despise this official, and give me another 120 boards! - No! Give me another [-] boards! Then the shackles Public display for two months!"

"You...you..." Wang Ke was stunned. The new Mr. Li Chengming didn't even give Li Chengming any face. Shocked, speechless.

The slaves carried him to the platform in the lobby, took off his pants and pressed him on the bench, and beat him violently.The beating made Wang Ke cry and scream for his father and mother.Li Da Niu was overjoyed and kowtowed again and again to thank Master Qingtian for making the decision.
