Lord Fourth, Madam Has Tricked You Again

Hearing that, Si Ye, who had gone ashore, turned around and boarded the boat again.

After that, he handed his hand to Ruo Yin who had already landed, meaning that she would help him.

Upon seeing this, Su Peisheng on the side couldn't help covering his mouth and laughing.

Anyway, the emperor just wants to change the hand of Queen Falla.

Ruoyin twitched the corner of his mouth, thinking he was ruthless!

Gritting his teeth, stepped forward to support Si Ye.

The Fourth Master just held her hand and raised her foot to go ashore again.

"Master, the minion has long ordered the people under him to order a table of good wine and food in the restaurant." As he said, Su Peisheng led the way on one side.

Ruoyin is supporting Si Ye by the shore.

Now that he went ashore, she walked in front of him.

Because during the southern tour, their daily routines are basically not high or low.

When eating together, she can move the chopsticks first, without waiting for him after eating.

When sleeping at night, she goes to bed first when she is sleepy, not necessarily with him.

When she usually goes out and sees fun and delicious food, she will take Banmei to step forward, buying whatever she wants, without reporting to Si Ye.

Even if he walked in front of him, the fourth master would not say anything.

He continued to visit him, he was in a good mood, and stood by and waited for her quietly.

And she was used to it.

But this time, when she walked ahead, the collar seemed to be caught by someone.

Ruo Yin looked back and found that the culprit Si Ye was pulling her by the collar.

Then she heard him say: "Go back."

If the sound: "..."

She just remembered that no maid walked in front of the master.

So, I had to follow the Fourth Master silently.

When I was walking on the bustling streets of Suzhou, I happened to see someone from the Yamen sticking something on the notice board.

Gradually, the onlookers also approached and learned about the situation.

Upon seeing this, Si Ye raised his foot to the notice board.

After approaching, he paused.

Ruo Yin followed closely behind.

Looking up, the yellowed notice has been posted on the notice board.

The officials posted the notice, left in a group, and went to the next notice board.

The notice occupies most of the notice board, and it is densely written in Xingkai font.

There are several red stamps in the lower right corner.

Ruoyin only thinks that the red stamp is very familiar, as if I have seen it somewhere.

She tilted her head and thought for a while, but she remembered.

She had seen this kind of red stamp while in the Forbidden City.

Every time the court makes a major decision, it will be stamped with such a red stamp.

Could it be that something big happened to the court?

Thinking of this, Ruoyin looked at the notice carefully.

I saw it said:

On July 12 of the third year of Yongzheng, through a female demonstration in Yangzhou, the court believed that there was indeed a core problem with the status of women in the dynasty.

To this end, the court rectified the relevant laws and regulations of the Qing Dynasty.

First of all, the former "wife beats her husband, but sits after beating. With a stick of one hundred, the husband is willing to leave, listen, if the husband voluntarily declares, he sits. To the degree of injury or more, check the severity of the injury, and add three. And so on. To those who are severely ill, hang. The dead, be cut. Those who kill, are put to death soon." Abolished.

Changed to "Wife-beaten husband, not to be broken, to break or more, according to the mortal conviction, the husband must prosecute but sit, interrogate the couple first, such as those who are willing to divorce, convict and divorce. Those who do not want to be divorced, the laboratory is injured The sin of sitting should be redeemed, and after listening to the gathering. Until the deceased, he is hanged in prison. Therefore, killing is also hanged. If a husband falsely accuses his wife, he shall be convicted of false charges."

What has changed here is: In the past, when a wife beat her husband, as long as she beat her husband, she was guilty, and the wife must be blamed for a hundred.

The yamen only listened to the husband's wishes. If the husband is willing to leave, he can reconcile without his wife's consent. However, the husband needs to go to the yamen to sue.

In addition, if the wife beats her husband more than a broken bone, the punishment will be three-tier worse than that of an unrelated civilian.

Now, there is no conviction for not getting a broken bone.

If you hit a fracture or more, you need your husband to go to the yamen to sue, and the wife's punishment will be convicted of injuring an unrelated civilian.

Regarding peace and separation, the Yamen will respect the intentions of both spouses, and no matter which party can't make it through, they can be separated.

If the husband falsely accuses his wife, the Qing law will protect his wife, and the husband will be convicted of slander.

Before that, husbands slandered their wives, and the law did not care about women.

The rest remains unchanged.

Then, the following is also written:

In the past, "a husband who beats his wife does not have to be broken. For those who are broken or above, the mortal is reduced to the second class. If the wife is required to sue himself, he will sit. Interrogate the couple first, if they are willing to divorce, convict and divorce; The crime of injury and sitting should be redeemed, and the gathering is still heard. Until the deceased, he is hanged in prison. Therefore, killing is also hanged. If a wife falsely accuses her husband, he shall be convicted of false accusation. If a husband falsely accuses his wife, it will also be reduced to third class."

Changed to "If a husband beats his wife, it is not a broken wound. Anyone who is broken or above shall be convicted as a mortal, and the wife must confess to sitting. Interrogate the couple first, if they are willing to divorce, convict and divorce; The sin of sitting should be redeemed, and the gathering is still heard. Those who are severely ill will hang. The dead will be cut. Those who kill will be executed at Ling Chi. If a husband falsely accuses his wife or his wife falsely accuses his husband, he shall be convicted of false charges."

This law changes the bias towards men.

In the past, the husband beat his wife and suffered more than a broken bone, and the punishment he received was only a second-class offense on the basis of beating irrelevant civilians.

Now, if a husband beats his wife or breaks a bone, the punishment he receives is the same as that of a woman, and the punishment he receives is convicted of injuring an unrelated civilian.

The wife falsely accused her husband before and was convicted of false accusation.

But a husband falsely accuses his wife, but the degree of false accusation is reduced by three.

Now, the two sides are punished equally.

In addition, "until the deceased, the prisoner will be hanged, so killing is also hanged."

Changed to the same as for women, "Those who are severely ill, hang. Those who die, be cut. Those who kill, are put to death soon."

The rest remains unchanged.

In addition to the above two changes, a few more regulations have been added.

1. It is forbidden to buy or sell maids.

2. It is forbidden to force women.

3. Promote women's education.

4. Promote women's labor.

5. Promote women's industry.

6. Equal wages for men and women.

7. Protect women.

8. It is forbidden to drown girls.

9. It is forbidden to tie the chest.

10. Foot binding is prohibited.

and many more......

At the end, Ruoyin found the red stamp in the lower right corner.

It reads "After discussion by the court ministers, the emperor and the queen empress are the result of the trial, so this notice is issued to the people of the Qing Dynasty."

Somehow, when Ruoyin saw this, his heart was shocked.

Because of this incident, it can be said that she participated in a major event in Qing Dynasty.

However, she thought that even if the court and the Fourth Master had made a decision in the end, it would only be that the court announced the Qing Dynasty in the name of the Fourth Master.

But never thought that it was actually announced together in the name of her and Fourth Master.

At this moment, her cheeks were flushed with excitement, and her heart was jumping happily.

This kind of jump has nothing to do with love, but pure joy, little beauty.

Let her feel that her dedication and hard work were not in vain.
