Hu Ronghua, a special master of Chinese chess in later generations, was also a master of playing cards. Regarding Doudizhu, Hu Teda has a famous saying: The more people lose, the more they want to compete with the local master. The more they are, the more they lose, the more they lose. This sentence is just right for Zhao Erlu. He lost too much before, but he took a desperate bet and was stunned without even looking at the cards. Then he lost everything and lost everything.

At this time, Zhao Erlu owed a lot of gambling debts. Even if she sold her house and wife, it would not be enough to pay the gambling debts.

When Zhao Erlu returned home, his wife Xiaofeng walked up with a bowl of snow-cargo egg noodles. Zhao Erlu, who was already hungry, took the noodles and ate them all in a few seconds. After eating, she threw the bowl on the ground, grabbed the woman, and cursed: "It's all you bad guy, you have caused labor and capital to lose money again!"

Then, Zhao Erlu grabbed the woman and beat her up, scattering all the anger that she lost money today on the woman.

Xiaofeng was actually a little girl from a scholarly family. Logically speaking, she could not become Zhao Erlu's wife. Zhao Erlu is a street gangster and a rogue. As for why she married Xiaofeng, it was because several thieves and bald donkeys in the same temple of Zhao Erlu colluded with each other. One day, Xiaofeng went to the temple to burn incense, but was raped by Zhao Erlu.

The women had a low status back then. If such a thing happened, if they sued the government, although Zhao Erlu would be sentenced to death, the woman who was harmed by him would have to commit suicide, and the woman's parents could not raise their heads outside.

In order to maintain the reputation of the family, Xiaofeng's father had to force his daughter to marry Zhao Erlu.

However, Xiaofeng's father was pretty good. In order to prevent his daughter from suffering too much after marrying, he gave her a large sum of money as a dowry. Logically speaking, Zhao Erlu married a wife with a large sum of dowry without spending a penny of money and had to be kind to her wife. But who knew that after Xiaofeng got married, Zhao Erlu lost all Xiaofeng's dowry not long after.

Zhao Erlu, who lost all money, beat or scold Xiaofeng every day. Her family was so poor that she couldn't get rid of the problem. Later, Xiaofeng heard that Zhongyong Hou had opened a garment factory in Nanjing, which specifically recruited female workers, so she went to work in the garment factory.

Xiaofeng works hard every day, and the money he earns is taken to gamble by Zhao Erlu. After Xiaofeng, who has worked hard all day every day, she still has to serve her mother-in-law who is sick in bed and her husband who is addicted to gambling. I don’t know when such a hard life will be.

In fact, Zhao Peng made subtle changes to the laws of the Ming Dynasty. If a man has gambling, eating soft food, committing crimes, etc., a woman can file a complaint with the government and apply for the government to judge the separation. As long as the evidence is conclusive, the government can immediately judge the separation in the lobby.

But Xiaofeng is a traditional Chinese woman, how could she go to the government to apply for a divorce? So she could only accept it and grit her teeth and persevere.

However, this time, Zhao Erlu was destined to be unable to protect her wife. He owed a lot of gambling debts. Even if he sold his house and his wife, it would not be enough to pay the gambling debts.

Zhao Peng, who has always hated gamblers, did not order a nationwide ban on gambling because casinos can obtain high profits. Among the taxes in Nanjing for one year, the tax paid by casinos accounted for a large proportion, so Zhao Peng did not issue a ban on gambling.

Gambling is a harmful thing, but gambling harms those gamblers, and Zhao Peng believes that it deserves it. Of course, gambling will also cause gamblers to take risks and do illegal and criminal things at will.

Since it is illegal and criminal, I am sorry. After Zhao Peng's slightly revised Daming Law, the punishment for crimes caused by gambling is very severe. No matter how much theft is, they will be sent to Qiongzhou to start a mine; if they robbed because of gambling, they will be directly killed; if they kill people because of gambling, they will not only kill the criminals themselves, but also implicate their parents, and their parents will be punished for being improperly disciplined.

According to the laws formulated by Zhao Peng, gambling itself is not a crime, but crimes caused by gambling are extra third-class.

The new Ming Dynasty law admits the money owed by gambling, and IOUs and IOUs are legal. Unless the person who loses the gambling has evidence to prove that he has been trapped and the other party joins hands to cheat him, the gambling debt will be counted, and the person who owes debt must pay back the money.

Zhao Erlu was tired of beating his wife. After a while, he returned to the house and lay on the bed and went to bed.

The next morning, Xiaofeng went to work in the factory. The factory leader saw that her nose was bruised and swollen, her eyes were swollen into panda eyes, and her arm was injured, so he asked with concern: "What's wrong? Is your gambler's husband hitting you again?"

"It's okay, it's because I accidentally fell down." Xiaofeng, who was very proud of her, defended her.

But the team leader naturally could not believe it, so he filed a lawsuit with Yingtian Prefecture.

Although there were legal measures for domestic violence back then, if the husband beats his wife, the second-class punishment will be reduced according to the crime and the sentence will be sentenced to separation. In addition, Zhao Peng's new Ming law, the crime of gamblers will be increased by the third-class. As long as the crime is confirmed, Zhao Erlu can be beaten by 100 and 3,000 taels.

However, when men were superior to women, the prefecture of Yingtian Prefecture was deeply rooted in people's hearts, and the prefect of Yingtian Prefecture was not very concerned about this matter. However, by chance, the Jinyiwei was in Yingtian Prefecture and immediately reported it to Zhao Peng when he learned about it.

Zhao Peng rushed to Yingtian Mansion after hearing the news and questioned the prefect: "Song Fuyi, the Ming Dynasty is not the same as before. The original male superiority of women was because a man made money outside to support his family and paid taxes to the country. But now, Xiaofeng works in a factory and pays taxes to the court, but was beaten by a man who is gambling for no reason and is beaten and injured and unable to work. May I ask Song Fuyi, a rogue who has never paid a penny tax to the court, beats a labor force that pays taxes to the court. Should he be severely punished?"

The prefect of Song replied: "If the Marquis is not willing to agree with the words of the Marquis, the officials will not agree with them. The three or five rules of the law are used by the wife. If the Marquis punishes Zhao Erlu, the world will not accept it."

Zhao Peng laughed: "The prefect Song is such a bad word. I will give an example. If the son of your prefect Song family married the daughter of the current prime minister and the sister of the current queen, your son beat up his wife, what should you do?"

The prefect Song was sweating profusely: "When the Marquis was laughing, how dare the son of the official, the son of the official, want to marry the daughter of the chief minister? If he was really lucky enough to win the daughter of the chief minister, it would be too late for me to love the daughter of the daughter-in-law, so how dare he let his son move? If the son of the dog is so unsatisfied and there is no need for the marquis to speak, the official will beat the unfilial son to death with his own hands."

Zhao Peng said: "Isn't that true? Social status depends not only on gender, but on the background of the two families as a reference. For example, Song Fuyi, dare you say that you are nobler than His Royal Highness? Similarly, economic status is also a reference for social status. Our Ming Dynasty does not raise a waste who eats, drinks, and gambling tickets. If you don't work, the court should force him to work!"

Just as the prefect Song was about to settle the case, someone came to sue Zhao Erlu, saying that he owed them three thousand taels of silver and could not be returned, and hoped that the government would make the decision for him.

The prefect Song was in trouble now, because even if Zhao Erlu sold all his possessions, he could not pay off the money. In the end, Zhao Peng made a main point for the prefect Song: "Zhao Erlu was 100 sticks and was 5,000 miles away. She was sent to the mine to work as a coolie, and the monthly salary was used to pay off the debt."

"But he will never be able to pay back this for the rest of his life." said the person who came to complain.
