Chapter 192: This is how a bully is

Yang Zuren smiled and replied in a low voice: "Actually, the magistrate of Linjilin, Jiaoxi County, has also been in the Fangsi. That place is not that mysterious. It is just a place to spend money. Everyone is busy spending money, saying that it is spending money to buy intelligence, but in the past few decades, only a dozen pieces of information have been useful to the state, and the rest are nonsense."

Zhao Xing asked again: "Brother Yang has contacted me so much, can you give me a list? Because I need them to help me with each other and be more reliable!"

Yang Zuren smiled faintly: "This pot should have several teacups... No need, just send it to my house. Speaking of the situation of Zhifangsi, you have found it right. My Yang family is behind the general, and Zhifangsi has always been controlled by the general, and the civil servants are just serving as some "transcription office". I will write for you, but after reading it..."

Zhao Xing nodded slightly without notice: "Don't worry, I understand. I am curious about this because Zhang Laozi and Zhang Dun are not a general family, how can he instruct personnel from the rank of the ranks?"

Yang Zuren stood up gently and said, "The music is so loud. I can't hear what you said just now... Ah, I'm singing until the door is about to be closed. I'll come and listen. Thank you for your teapot."

As soon as Yang Zuren left, Liao Xiaoxiao leaned forward again. She said tightly: "My husband, the whole family only has one set of teapots. I'm still thinking about playing with them for a few days. Why are you... one set, another set!"

Liao Xiaoxiao's voice trembled and she sang the word "Ah" in a slight twist. This was no longer talking, but acting coquettishly. Chen Yiyi was interrupted by her and glanced at her dissatisfiedly, and found that Liao Xiaoxiao was shaking her arm. A bracelet on her arm flashed colorfully. She frowned in dissatisfaction and said, "Xiaoxiao, why did you bring that object with you? Do you wear that object for others to see? Take it off quickly."

Liao Xiaoxiao was wearing a string of gold bead bracelets. This string of gold bead bracelets should not have appeared in this era because it used a technology that spanned this era - metal tubes.

The thin metal tubes made of white, yellow, and purple-gold are not complete smooth tube walls. There are countless fine fish-scale sections on the surface of the tube. These metal tubes are stringed with gold beads and coiled into a rotating three-ring shape. As Liao Xiaoxiao's arm shakes, the metal tube's throwing surface flashes, like fish jumping out of the water, with a little sparkling smell.

These white metal tubes are white gold, which means that the gold is mixed with 75% silver, the yellow one is 18k gold, and the purple and gold ones contain copper gold. The appearance of these metal tubes is just that, and the huge golden blue beads should not appear here. It is really too disaster-provoking.

Liao Xiaoxiao's sleeves hang down, and the corners of her sleeve covered the string of pearls. She said proudly: "What's wrong? Didn't you say I didn't have a dowry? This is my husband's permission. Is this enough to buy your fiefdom?"

This time, Zhao Xing did not help Liao Xiaoxiao. He lowered his face and said, "Yi Yi is right. Take off the string of golden beads. This thing is not worn for others to see. Who wants you to wear it?"

Liao Xiaoxiao pouted, fumbled her hands in her sleeves, and then raised her hands. Her arms were empty. She complained dissatisfiedly: "My husband, it's not for people to show it, so what's the use of it? Isn't this 'going in a good night'?"

Yi Yi chuckled, and she said softly: "Have a night of fine clothes, the last Liu San who said this was already put in a box by Brother Xing to sink into the bottom of the sea. Are you planning to do the same?"

Liao Xiaoxiao curled her smile, she looked up at Zhao Xing, and said coquettishly: "Officials, I don't want to let go, right? Xiaoxiao knew that she was wrong, but the officials were reluctant to let go, right?"

Zhao Xing shook his head, stood up and said, "You keep watching, I'll go to Azhu and see Azhu and the children."

Although Cheng Azhu was raised since childhood, the physical condition of the mountain people was different from that of the beautiful girls. She had already gone to the ground to move, but Zhao Xing didn't allow her to walk out of the outdoors. The yard was noisy, but Cheng Azhu was watching the child in the room. The child had just eaten his milk, and the wet nurse returned him to Azhu. Azhu looked at the child's sleeping little face and was fascinated by the sight, and even Zhao Xing didn't notice it when he came in.

There was Hu Ji Kasli in the room. She bowed to Zhao Xing and said, "Official, the old man has just arrived and said he had just left, saying that he had gone to the show."

The "old man" in Hu Ji's lecture was Cheng Laoqi. He learned Chinese from Zhao Xing, and his language contained a lot of modern meanings, so only Zhao Xing could understand the Song language she spoke. Fortunately, Hu Ji Kasli was deeply educated by the palace. In their part, women were guilty of talking to strange men. Under this traditional thinking, when she met someone, she was completely dumb.

Zhao Xing patted Kasili on the shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work to take care of Azhu these days. When the end of the month, Azhu will not need to take care of her. You should go back to your room to sleep."

Kasli's eyes flashed, and his speaking big eyes winked at Zhao Xing, asking him about the meaning of his words. During this period, Cheng Azhu did not look up, but only stared at her child with a loving look. She was still whispering in her mouth. Zhao Xing only heard clips, such as "the eyebrows and eyes" and "the sleeping scene"...

Zhao Xing did not disturb Cheng Azhu's obsession. He sat gently beside Azhu. Azhu felt his arrival. She pressed her face against Zhao Xing's face, but did not look away and continued to mumble meaningless words to the child.

The Tianning Festival holiday was three days, and on the fourth day, no one was worried about official duties. When they arrived at the yamen, it was still afternoon. The colleagues met each other and could get home from get off work and get their children. Jiao Chu played in Hangzhou for a few days. After learning about Zhao Xing’s meaning, he said goodbye on that day and went home.

October 15th is the day of the revenge. After the yamen did not work for four days, countless cases were welcomed as soon as the door opened on that day. There was a "bully case" inside. The plot was bloody and like a Song Dynasty novel written by people from the Ming and Qing dynasties. Zhao Xing was excited when he heard about this case.

After many years of coming to the Song Dynasty, I finally met a "bully" who teased in the street - no, bullying the people in the street. Zhao Xing was happy and directly changed the order of trial and brought the case to the morning.

There were too many festivals in the Song Dynasty and too many holidays. During the yamen, the yamen runners basically went home to carry their children. However, although no one maintained public order during the festival, the local social situation was outrageously calm. Therefore, when encountering this "bully" case, even the yamen runners had a gossip and surrounded the lobby to watch Zhao Xing's trial case.

The case is also very simple. On the second day of Tianning Festival, when the people were parading, a "bully" touched someone's butt in a remote alley, but was shouted out loud. As the shouts landed, the people living nearby ran out with sticks and colanders, ravaging the "bully"... Look, now the "bully" has a swelling face, and even his mother cannot recognize it.

Zhao Xing looked at the tragic situation of the "bully", was very curious, and couldn't help blurting out: "You have also traveled through time?"

This made the "bully" stunned. He tried his best to ask what time travel is, but he was broken and could not say a complete sentence.

Zhao Xing was unwilling to do so, and he complained viciously: "It's not something that travels through time. Why do you want to be a 'bully' in the Song Dynasty? Do you want to die?"

Zhao Xing's unfinished trial question made Gao Qiu frown. He walked to Zhao Xing with a cup of tea, placed the tea cup on the table, stretched his foot and gently stepped on Zhao Xing's toes. Zhao Xing immediately understood and returned to the main topic of the trial: "Take your neighbor Li San."

The focus of the trial of this case is not on the "bully" incident, but on the neighbor Li San.

The Song Dynasty stipulates that if you don’t rescue him when you see danger, you will be sent for two years.

The Song Dynasty was a patriarchal society, which emphasized "watching and helping each other", and the punishment implemented this patriarchal idea. So when the teaser called for help, the neighbors or those who heard the call for help jumped out and beat the "bully" a few times, saying that he had participated in the rescue, but his neighbor Li Sanjia had no movement, so he violated the criminal law of the Song Dynasty and was exiled for two years according to the law.

As for the "bully" man, the punishment for him was very relaxed, that is, everyone who heard the cry for help beat him one by one, and it would be fine if he had to beat him more than one. The government encouraged such beatings. If he was still alive after being beaten, the local officials would still beat him. After the local officials beat him, he would still live tenaciously, so he would ask his parents to take him home to discipline him well - and then beat him.

Under such a strict patriarchal system, a man still wanted to be a "Gao Yanei" in the street. This made Zhao Xing suspect that this guy was a time traveler. He was famous for his reputation. He only dared to use sweating drugs to kidnap people in a remote alley in the middle of the night. This guy dared to be beaten in broad daylight - strong, seriously strong.

Li San shouted loudly: "Official, it's unfair. At that time, my whole family went to watch the parade, and there was no one at home... It's not that I didn't hear the sound of help, but there was no one at home, and no one heard the cry for help."

Zhao Xing touched his chin and asked, "What you mean is that as long as there is no one in the family who comes to rescue him, there must be no one at home, right? No one left at home to look at the door - is this your fault or is it my fault? Is it reasonable that you don't come out to rescue him because there is no one at home? It's not said that, it's been two years since you have been free. I'll give you a favor. The place where you can get away from your home is not far from your home, just 300 miles away. You can choose a county town in the nearby 300 miles, and I will send you to you as you ask."

When Li San met such an unreasonable official, he had nothing to say. What's more, Zhao Laohu's reputation was also very loud. Do he dare to fight? Seeing the tiger sitting on it and smiling, he looked very kind, he felt cold in his heart and quickly said, "Grand official, there are droughts everywhere on Liangzhe Road. If you leave Hangzhou, isn't that a death? The young man doesn't know where to choose. Since the official has given grace, he will just point me one."

Zhao Xing nodded and praised him with a thumbs up: "Good! Then go to Lin'an County under Hangzhou - Lin'an. I like this name. The place is quite prosperous. If you exile there, you won't suffer any losses."

Li San raised his bitter face and thanked Zhao Xing for his grace. Zhao Xing touched his chin and looked at the uninhabited "bully" man below, saying to himself: "How many sticks are you good to hit? Look at your small body, you probably need to knock it to death with twenty more boards."

The "bully" was so scared that he couldn't say the complete words, so he just bowed to the top. When Gao Qiu heard Zhao Xing's words, he quickly brought another cup of tea and gently stepped on Zhao Xing with his toes.

The Song Dynasty stipulated that the edict was only fifteen. That is to say, according to the emperor's will, the number of beating boards should not exceed fifteen.

This regulation could be implemented in the early Northern Song Dynasty, but it was no longer very strict in the later period. Even the official newspapers often recorded 40-pound beatings. However, this kind of thing belongs to "the people do not sue, and the officials do not investigate", and the prisoners can only be convinced. Otherwise, they are asking for trouble, and a large group of censors are waiting for impeachment?

Zhao Xing opened his mouth and said the twenty big boards, because he came from time to time and did not care about the emperor's edict at all. When Gao Qiu stepped on him, Zhao Xing understood. He lazily picked up the sign and drew a bamboo stick and ordered: "Then let's beat the fifteen boards, it's a good deal for you, if you..."

Zhao Xing originally wanted to say: If you live in the Ming Dynasty, you will inevitably have fifty big boards; if you live in the Qing Dynasty, you will inevitably have three hundred big boards; if you live a little later, you will be happy, even if you drive a BMW... Forget it, let him continue to be happy, because he lives in the Song Dynasty, the heaviest punishment for bullies in this era is fifteen big boards.

The Song Dynasty strictly restricted the size of the staff, which was used to express leniency and punishment. According to regulations, the rod was three feet and five inches long, the big head should not exceed two inches, and the thickness and the diameter of the small head should not exceed nine minutes. Later, it was stipulated that the weight of the staff was "no more than fifteen taels" - one pound and sixteen taels, and one Song pound was about 692 grams, which means that the weight of the staff was about 600 grams; the big head of the staff was no more than two inches, which was about five centimeters; the length of the staff was three feet and five inches long, which was about one meter in modern length - this was not a board, it was obviously not as good as tickling claws!

The implementation of the poker punishment was stipulated in the Song Dynasty that the person who was a poker was the buttocks, and the person who was a poker was the back - this "bully" needed a spank. Li San was an exiled person and needed a spine.

In addition, the specific content of the "three no-fighting" stipulated in the Song Dynasty was: "You can't walk a stick when you encounter night, you can't get old or young, and you won't get pregnant."

At the same time, it was also stipulated that "a woman is allowed to redeem her crime of being a crime of being absent from a pole". It was just the morning, and the "bully" was not a child or a disabled pregnant woman, but a man, so there was no possibility of using money to atone for his sins - so there was no negotiation on beating him.

Li San couldn't spare him, and he didn't help him when he saw danger. He gave him a fifteenth stick to the yamen runners to exile on the spot. There was no policy of insination in the Song Dynasty, and his family could continue to live on the original site. However, after this lesson, his family would definitely not see danger again in the future.

However, even if Li San's family continues to live in the original location, they are probably shameless. The yamen runners in Hangzhou looked at this rare crime of "not saving the danger" and talked a lot. Some people were a little dissatisfied with their words, suggesting that there was a reason for Li San's incident and that the punishment should not be so serious. But some people think that there must be someone in Li San's family at that time. They heard the cry for help and walked to the door, but did not come out because the neighbors had heard the noise inside...

However, these are irrelevant. Li San's family was guilty of being punished by their own crimes, and the case has been settled, so there is no need to dispute it.
