There’s a Dragon Girl in the Desolate Sea: 719|The sixtieth dragon scale (twelve)
Sixty Dragon Scales (Twelve)
No one knows what Mr. Smile is thinking, but Ding Lan's question is deafening. Not all men regard women as objects. Among the officials in the audience, there are those who have been with their wives for many years, and some who love their daughters. As fate would have it, they had also thought about what would happen to their pearl in the future, so they racked their brains to find a good husband for their daughter. As fathers, they are naturally willing to raise their daughters for the rest of their lives, but not marrying after fifteen years is not allowed in this world.
As Mr. He said, a woman's life is nothing but an object passed from her father to her husband. As parents, as husbands, they have the right to do anything to women, as long as they have this name , the law cannot be blamed on them.
Ding Lan hated this.
She doesn't want to be a great person, she just hopes that when she has the ability, she can change the world a little more.
Linglong got up first, she felt bored, the rest were human affairs, nothing to do with her.
She wants to leave, so the official family will not stay. Before leaving, she said to Mr. Yi Xiao, "Sir, why don't you think about it."
Mr. Smile saluted the emperor and then sat down on the bench in a daze, wondering what he was thinking. In fact, he has traveled abroad for many years, and has seen many common people. Compared with the noble nobles who have three wives and four concubines, most of the folk men and women are monogamous. It was necessary to take concubines, but he always felt that it was only natural for men to want to take concubines.
He once saw a savage woman in a village, tearing her man's ears with his hands. He heard that the man made some money outside, and when he came back, he couldn't take it anymore and wanted to take a concubine , The woman was naturally unwilling, so she chased and beat the man for a while, and the scene was very indecent. At that time, Mr. Yixiao said his own set of words that women should be virtuous and gentle, but who knew that the woman almost beat him!
Where do the country women know about Mr. Smile, anyway, this old man is not likable when he talks, and even pushes her man to take a concubine, she even beats the old man together!
Mr. Smile said that only women and villains are difficult to support, while hugging his head.
This is just a trivial thing in his many years of experience, but for some reason, he has never forgotten it for many years, maybe because the faint tears in the eyes of the savage woman when she chased and beat her man are very similar The daughter who wrote a family letter that year but accidentally dropped her tears on the letter paper.
His daughter.
Has been dead for almost fifteen years.
Mr. Smile is getting older and his memory is getting worse and worse. He thinks that he should have forgotten his daughter's appearance, but in fact, he even remembers the shape of the tooth gap that she showed when she changed her teeth when she was a child and smiled at him. Clearly.
It used to be the bead on his palm, and he used to be a swaying, milky little man. Mr. Laugh remembered in a trance that his daughter didn't seem to have the same temperament as she did later.
She is his greatest pride.
It is the perfect woman he has cultivated. Whether it is talent, personality or temperament, there is nothing wrong with her. He taught his daughter according to his ideal appearance, and she did not disappoint him, she really grew into a good appearance, and then he found a talented and promising husband for her, she became the prime minister's wife, the more Being noble and dignified is the object that countless noble girls in the capital are eager to learn.
But she died.
Died at a young age.
When Mrs. Pei died, Linglong Jiang was two years old. She had just been able to talk and walk, but she was very precocious. Mr. Yixiao told Pei Xiang that he wanted to take his granddaughter with him to raise him for a few years. Pei Xiang naturally didn't dare to refuse, but when he took his granddaughter to his side, Mr. Smile discovered that this little guy is completely different from her mother. He is not well-behaved at all, and he is not sensible at all. No matter how he teaches her, she will follow him. Opposite.
Even now, Linglong has not grown into what Mr. Smile hoped to be. Not only is she not virtuous and gentle, but she is also very willful and arrogant. She doesn't know what humility is. In the past, Mr. Laugh felt that he was ashamed of his daughter under Jiuquan for not teaching his granddaughter well, but today, he is suddenly uncertain.
Because he saw "live" from Linglong, Ding Lan, Lvqiao, and even the little girls in the Ministry of Punishment.
It's not the daughter's step-by-step and calm appearance, but freedom, freshness, and her own will.
As Ding Lan asked, as a father, can he manipulate his daughter's fate? Is it He's fault that He was defiled? Could it be that the culprit was not Niuben who defiled her? Not to frame her stepmother? Not to whitewash Taiping's father? What's wrong with Ho?
Why did the victim fail to get justice, but the perpetrator got his wish and lived better? If everyone is like this, what axioms are there in this world?
Ding Lan likes to talk with data. Since Mr. Yi Xiao was going to stay in the punishment department for a few days, she and her apprentices sorted out the files over the years and gave them to Mr. Yi Xiao and let him read them by himself.
In these files, there are many dead women. Most of them are women, wives, and daughters-in-law. It is their fathers, mothers, husbands, and in-laws who control their fate. These women are like puppets. From birth to death, this short and hasty life will come to an end.
Ding Lan is a humane person. When she re-examines these files, she will mark some information next to the deceased's name.
For example, Fahrenheit was beaten to death by her husband. Before her death, she had a good hand and was good at embroidery. She was beautiful but loved spicy food;
Wang, who was abandoned because she had no children and was rejected by her parents' family, she loved to play shuttlecock with her close friends when she was a girl;
As a widow, she was defiled by rogues and died because the government refused to accept it. Qian, known as the bean curd Xishi, relied on this good craft to support a pair of children and elderly in-laws who were waiting to be fed. When she died, the whole family was scattered;
Hua Niang Taohong, who murdered more than a dozen men by brutal means, was sold by her biological father into the Goulan Courtyard at the age of five, and received guests at the age of eight, where she was tortured and humiliated. Ask the jailer to help her buy a candied haws—her brother was held by her father when she was a child, holding one in her hand, she swallowed and tried to lick the candy coating off the table, but was slapped She was half deaf, and later she became a flower girl. She had money, but she never bought candied haws from beginning to end...
These files are piled up into a thick hill, and in contrast, there is another pile.
Three years of Chengwu, the salesman Hao Dashan was drunk and raped | Promiscuous sister-in-law. When he woke up, fearing that his deeds would be revealed, he accidentally strangled his sister-in-law and was sentenced to three months in prison;
In June of the third year of Chengwu, the **** escort Lou Zhi saw the beauty of the rich lady who was escorting him, so he did something wrong. The latter lady was forced to marry him as his wife. After two years of marriage, he was depressed end;
In the fifth year of Chengwu, the local ruffian Wang Xiaolai spread rumors that the daughter of Zhu Yuanwai's family in the town had three red moles on her chest. It was accepted, Wang Xiaolai withdrew, and Ding Lan retrial later. This person confessed that he just drank two more cups of yellow soup with his Hu Peng Gou friends and boasted that he could marry a daughter of daughters in Haikou, so he put his idea on Miss Zhu. Zhu Yuanwai was so cruel, he would rather marry his daughter Shen Tan than marry him. This person has a smiley face when he confesses, and there is no remorse in his words;
In December of the sixth year of Chengwu, a family in Yansi County was exterminated under the rule of Chengzhou. He killed his wife, children, and parents-in-law, and sentenced him to ten years...
Every time he turned over a file, Mr. Smile's face turned pale, and he couldn't take it any longer after reading half of it.
Ding Lan came in from outside, and saw the previously imposing old man sitting there like an eggplant beaten by frost, dejected and lacking in spirit, looking old.
She knocked on the door: "Sir."
Lv Qiao was with her, and came with a bunch of files in her hand. There were not many other files in the punishment department, but there were too many files, and the old man couldn't finish them.
Mr. Smile slowly raised his head and asked, "Why are there so many of these cases? Why didn't I hear about them before?"
Ding Lan replied softly: "Because before, no one thought this was a big deal."
Mr. Smile froze.
Lv Qiao said: "Sir, if it wasn't for Lord Ding to serve in the Penal Department, you would never want to see these files. If you think about it this way, it's pretty good, isn't it? At least these are things that no one has mentioned before, and Lord Ding will take them into consideration. It was dug out, and it was presented to the world in a fair manner.”
"I'm afraid I don't know, sir, in the first year of my tenure in the Penal Department, how many similar cases have been suppressed by the subordinate government officials. The officials all felt that this was a trivial matter and could not be brought to the forefront. But sir, If the death of an ordinary person cannot stand on the table, then in this world, who will the officials govern in the future?"
"Sir, I don't know. Most of the adults in the Criminal Department are upright and honest. Although they could not accept me and Ding as officials at first, but after long-term contact, they can get along peacefully. Going to the county, townships and towns, the quality and ability of catching fast and slaughtering are uneven, and there are many people who are fishing in troubled waters and relying on the power of the yamen. month, a case in Feizhou.”
Mr. Smile found the files. These files are arranged according to the year and month. They have also bookmarked. It is easy to find them.
These files were also improved after Ding Lan came to the Ministry of Punishment. In order to turn over an old case, she spent seven days in the dossier of the Ministry of Punishment before she found what she wanted from the mountains and seas of files. When she had some spare time, she took everyone from the Department of Punishment to classify the files, and then asked a craftsman to make a simple folder. After that, finding the files was much more convenient than before!
The case mentioned by Lvqiao happened in April of the eighth year of Chengwu, but the deceased was not a woman, but a man!
It turns out that the scholar surnamed Sun was talented and intelligent since he was a child, and his family worked hard for him to study. He also strived to live up to his expectations. He became a scholar at a young age and was recommended by his teacher to study at Qingluan Academy in Feizhou. Scholar Sun is not only good in learning, but also in good looks. It is recorded in the archives that he has a face like a crown of jade and a good temperament, but he is such a talented scholar, but because of his humble background and outstanding birth, he was spoiled by the son of the academy's chief.
The scholar is arrogant and unwilling to be subdued, but the government does not accept his case at all. There is no law in this dynasty on how men should be punished if they are defiled!
Scholar Sun couldn't get justice and met his relatives without words. The son of the mountain chief became lewd again and sent people to publicize Sun Shusheng was sodomized by men. He kept swearing and tried to persecute Sun. Scholar submits.
Scholar Sun pretended to obey, killed his enemy with a hidden knife, and then killed himself.
The chief of the mountain was angry and refused to allow Shusheng Sun's family to collect his corpse and let him expose it to the wilderness. Because of the revenge of killing his son, he secretly sent someone to pretend to be a robber to enter the house and kill Shusheng Sun's family.
Who knew that there was a little girl in the family who went to the aunt's house in the town that day and escaped the disaster. She knew her brother's temperament well and didn't want to believe that he would kill for no reason, and she also didn't believe that her own family who was so poor could lead her A gang of robbers of more than a dozen people came, but she didn't trust the officials of the state government office. However, she sued for many years and suffered countless hardships, and no one was willing to stand up for her.
It wasn't until Ding Lan served in the Punishment Department that rumors spread all over the world that she came to the capital and asked Ding Lan to call the shots.
In order to solve this old case, Ding Lan almost turned upside down day and night and couldn't sleep. Fortunately, the result was satisfactory, and Sun Shusheng was innocuous. Qingluan Academy was discredited. The younger sister of the Sun family, who was almost thirty years old, was finally able to bury her brother's clothes in the ancestral grave with integrity. Only because Scholar Sun's body was dumped in the mass grave and was pecked by wild beasts and birds, he could not tell which skeleton was him.
The person is innocent, but the astonishing scholar Sun will never come back.
"Position, power, and reputation, those who possess these, can step into the dust at will who are inferior to themselves. This is the case with class, but I think that even if everyone cannot be equal now, they must pay attention to laws and regulations. The official family once said that the emperor breaks the law and commits the same crime as the common people. I believe that the official family is a wise ruler, and I am willing to serve the official family, but sir, it is too difficult for me to do it alone.”
Ding Lan took a step forward and bowed ninety degrees to Mr. Yi Xiao, and Lu Qiao followed her example. The two bowed deeply, and then Ding Lan said sincerely and earnestly: "I want to ask Mr. , for the sake of these innocent people who died tragically, and for the sake of those who are about to die, help me. Your words are better than how many people's hard work!"
"Even if changing the status quo is not a one-day effort, we should start from today and start from now! I believe that the Empress thinks the same way."
The Empress...Mr. Yixiao's eyes were blank. It was his granddaughter, but she didn't want to recognize his granddaughter at all.
Ding Lan knew that it was impossible to persuade the stubborn and old-fashioned Mr. Yi Xiao at once, but now that Mr. Yi Xiao did not refuse, it proved that there was a possibility of success.
She is willing to be driven by the Empress, and she is willing to complete all the things that the Empress asked her to do. Ding Lan didn't know what it means to die for a confidant, but now she knows.
God made her come here through a thousand years of time and space, not just to let her fall in love, marry someone, have a child, be a good wife and a good mother and live a sweet life - Ding Lan found the meaning of life here .
She's been working on a new case these days.
He, who had murdered her husband before, was sentenced to one month in prison and released because of the extradition of the official family.
He had nowhere to go, she looked around in a daze, but saw the female criminal walking not far away, she hurriedly greeted her, but the female asked her: "Miss He, I know you have nowhere to go. , I don't know if you would like to join us? You are knowledgeable and polite, read poetry and books, and have a gentle personality. Our women's school lacks a gentleman like you."
He was stunned.
Later, she entered the women's school, saw those immature faces, met a group of like-minded friends, and her character gradually became cheerful and optimistic. , and because of this life and death, they were all cut off.
Ding Lan is very busy every day, but soon, she has a new helper.
When she saw the little queen dressed in men's clothes appearing in the Ministry of Punishment, she opened her mouth indecently into a huge circle: "Niangniang! Why are you here! Where is the official family?!"
Can the official family be willing to let the little queen come out alone? Didn't he sneak out again? ! Holding the grass, Ding Lan has a hunch that he will work crazy overtime again in the future, and the official family is a careful eye...
Linglong took out the gold medal engraved with the words "As I am here" and shook it, "What are you afraid of him doing?"
Ding Lan doesn't like to kneel and worship, except when necessary, she basically hugs her fists very boldly, and Linglong doesn't care about these falsehoods. Anyway, it doesn't matter if the people she likes are big or small. Yes, you have to kneel.
After half a column of incense, Ding Lan finally understood that the official family was really willing to let the little queen come out to experience!
In addition, the official family also sent a group of dark guards to the little queen. These dark guards are well-trained in martial arts and can be used to investigate cases! Coupled with the identity of the little queen, hey, with her, Ding Lan feels like she has brought a plug-in, and she no longer has to worry about encountering someone with a higher official position than herself. Don't worry that the criminals are not fast enough!
What amazes Ding Lan is that the little queen is extremely smart, and she will not vomit no matter how disgusting the scene is, she is not too promising!
With the addition of Linglong, the case is solved as fast as it is opened...
The official family has been busy revising the law recently, and has basically no time to accompany Linglong. He also handed over the power of the Minister of Internal Affairs, which was originally under the jurisdiction of Eunuch Mao, to Linglong. Eunuch Mao now spends more time with Linglong than with the official family. are long. Just revising the law is of great importance. How to change it, how to change it, what to delete and what to add is not something that can be done with just one touch. The most important thing is that there are many old ministers, old-fashioned and reformers in the court. The **** and rainy wind of pinch all day long, the officials' heads are big.
Amending the law requires every detail to be taken care of, so he can't possibly pull all these loyal ministers down, right?
The latest case solved by the Ministry of Justice also caused controversy among courtiers.
Fan Butcher in the east of the city married a wife in his early years. His wife died in childbirth. One corpse and two lives were lost. Since then, Butcher Fan has never resumed his work. He only guarded the meat stall by himself. However, the stall has not opened for a long time a few days ago. I smelled the stench in Butcher Fan's house. Because Butcher Fan was irritable and irritable, he often chased and beat guests, so the relationship between the neighbors was not good, and no one was willing to take care of him. But after a few days, the smell became more and more unpleasant, and the neighbors came to the door bravely, but they found the body of Butcher Fan who had been cut into eight pieces!
Mixed in a bunch of dead pork, especially disgusting!
Not far away, there is a larger-than-body, deformed baby corpse.
Other than that, it was a mad and silly woman, with her naked clothes, dull eyes, and blood all over her hands, and the baby's body was held in her arms by her.
The government office didn't dare to hide it, and immediately reported it to the Department of Punishment. Ding Lan Linglong and the three of them rushed to the scene. Ding Lan, who had experienced many battles, felt unwell, but Linglong did not change his face.
Who is this woman, where did this deformed baby come from, and who killed the strong and strong Butcher Fan... These mysteries were gradually unraveled by the three of them.
It turns out that at that time, Butcher Fan's wife had a difficult childbirth. His wife was dead, but the daughter he gave birth to was not dead. Although the daughter was not dead, she was a fool. Butcher Fan felt ashamed, so he locked her in the house, eating and drinking. Sarah is not allowed to come out. Originally planned to sell this stupid daughter, but when the stupid daughter got older, Fan Butcher realized that she was very iconic.
So I got kinky.
The girl is stupid. She doesn't know what Butcher Fan did to her. She doesn't know about contraception. , buried in place.
Until this pregnancy, butcher Fan did not avoid the silly girl when he strangled the child and told her to see it.
No one knew what this stupid girl was thinking, and she was really stupid and fake. She dragged her feet with the iron chain that Butcher Fan used to lock herself, picked up the heavy butchering knife, and took advantage of Fan's iron chain. The butcher didn't pay attention and chopped him on the head. Then he smashed his corpse into pieces like a joke. Finally, he threw away the knife and took the strange baby, who was all blue and dead, into his arms. When Linglong and the others arrived at the scene, she was covered in Blood, with a crazy expression, holding a strange baby and giggling.
How to judge is a difficult problem.
From a logical point of view, Butcher Fan is mad and savage and deserves a thousand cuts. According to He's case, it is not impossible to be generous outside the law, but the problem is that Butcher Fan is the biological father of a foolish girl. This is not killing her husband, but Kill your father!
In Ding Lan's words, killing a husband and killing his father completely touches the power and dignity of a man. A humble poor man, as long as he is a man, he can control the happiness, anger and life of his wife and daughter at home. , But what the foolish girl and Mrs He did is to tell other women that you can resist, and even the law will be kind to you - not to mention how many women are really suffering, if there are those who fish in troubled waters? If you kill your husband's father, is it because you are pitiful that you can't be sentenced?
The court is also arguing about this matter.
They were arguing at the Golden Palace, and two elders simply fought each other. You pulled my hair and I pulled your beard.
The official family is desperate to help their foreheads.
Is this any better?
