"I'm afraid there's more than one person possessed by a demon in Nanxi Village."

"It's incredible that there are so many monsters. They will come back to our village and cause harm to people."

"No, we have to ask a Taoist priest to exorcise the evil spirits."

"Yes, find eminent monks and Taoist priests to do this to eliminate demons!"

Magistrate Zhu's mouth twitched when he heard what the people in the hall said.

He raised the gavel in his hand and slapped it hard.

"quiet!"

After the noise, the people shut up and did not dare to continue talking.

Everyone knows that the county magistrate will continue to investigate the case.

"Wang Shuisheng, why do you buy people to drink blood?"

"Tell me what you know and don't play tricks."

Wang Shuisheng's face was expressionless, his mouth opened and closed, and he explained easily.

"Drink her blood to cure illnesses."

Gu Xue looked confused, where did this person know that this method can cure diseases.

Magistrate Zhu was curious for a moment and continued to ask.

"What disease do you have? Which doctor said drinking blood can cure it?"

Wang Shuisheng's expression didn't change at all, no fear, no guilt, it was still calm.

"An incurable disease, a wandering Taoist priest told me."

Magistrate Zhu was speechless.

Gu Xue also knew in her heart that she had encountered a charlatan.

How can drinking blood cure diseases? Isn’t this nonsense?

Because it couldn't be cured, Wang Shuisheng broke the jar and believed the words of a wandering Taoist priest.

Well, it is possible.

Gu Xue guessed well.

As Magistrate Zhu continued to interrogate, Wang Shuisheng confessed everything.

It was because he was dying soon, and when he was in despair, he listened to the Taoist priest's words and treated a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

After learning that Ma Dashan was short of money, he wanted to sell his wife.

Then he bought someone just to get his blood.

Naturally, the wandering Taoist priest could not be found.

Because it has been many days and no one knows where to go.

However, this kind of liar will most likely die if he goes out.

Once he deceives someone he cannot afford to offend, when the other party knows that he has been deceived, he will retaliate.

Even if he could get lucky once and escape.

You can't escape every time.

Magistrate Zhu quickly decided the case.

He saw Gu Xue watching the excitement in the crowd, and the victim Liu Qiuyun was from Daling Village.

I guess I know that the Liu family will definitely not want this marriage to continue.

Magistrate Zhu directly sentenced Ma Dashan and Liu Qiuyun to death.

It is equivalent to two people being forced to divorce by the government.

It was also ordered that Ma Dashan should compensate Liu Qiuyun 6 taels of silver.

He gave all the money he got from selling his wife to the victim.

Ma Dashan also received 20 slaps and was imprisoned for half a year.

Wang Shuisheng compensated Liu Qiuyun 10 taels of silver, received 20 slaps and was imprisoned for 2 years.

In order not to beat anyone to death, Wang Shuisheng was beaten separately.

10 boards were played first, and the remaining 10 boards were played after a month.

After the case was decided, the Liu family knelt down to Magistrate Zhu and thanked Mr. Qingtian.

This case also gave people confidence.

Especially it gives confidence to women who have had a difficult life after getting married.

They thought they could only work hard and live a miserable life.

Unexpectedly, if a woman is bullied and hurt, her husband can also be punished.

Some people think this is survivor bias.

If it were them, there might not be a bright outcome.

Therefore, only a small number of people dare to change and resist.

Many people have become accustomed to the old life.

Breaking past habits requires not only courage, but also capital, or the courage to not be afraid of anything.

Of course, there were also a few brave ones who went to the government and sued their men.

Magistrate Zhu made the verdict.

These people embarked on a new life. Although they had to start from scratch, after escaping suffering, they felt that no matter how hard life was, it was sweet.

After all, it would be hell if you didn't have to be tortured and beaten every day.

They escaped from hell and felt that no matter how painful or difficult it was, it was better than before.

Everyone is talking about the cases that Magistrate Zhu later sentenced, all of which were about wives suing their husbands for abuse and injury.

Those who met the conditions were sentenced to justice by Magistrate Zhu.

The victims were happy, and the women who had similar experiences to them also felt warm in their hearts.

On the contrary, some men who had been sentenced to death later came to cause trouble and spread rumors about the county magistrate.

Magistrate Zhu naturally did not refuse them.

As soon as their rumors started, they were suppressed by several rich ladies.

They felt the same way about this, and they had respect in their hearts for Magistrate Zhu to redress the woman's grievance.

He couldn't stand such a good official talking so much, so he naturally took action to deal with the common people who spread rumors.

Several consecutive cases have also caused some people to restrain their behavior and be more polite to their wives at home.

Especially if the daughter-in-law in the family is more aggressive, I can mess with them less and never get into trouble.

Some people are curious and feel that this sends a signal.

"Tell me, Mr. County Magistrate, why do you keep hearing cases like this recently?"

"Hey, the county magistrate can't decide this. Naturally, it is decided by the person who reported the case."

"If those people report the crime, they will have to go to trial."

"Hey, but this is a bit too much. In normal years, this kind of thing doesn't happen. It feels like it's almost becoming a trend."

"What? Haha, it can't be that your wives are dissatisfied with you. However, the county magistrate's hearing of these cases has indeed given those ladies the confidence."

"Everyone straightened their backs and dared to make decisions with men."

"I think it is Magistrate Zhu who has encouraged these trends."

"I've never seen a case of Judgment. I've seen quite a few cases in our county recently."

"That's not possible. Magistrate Zhu is a good official."

Magistrate Zhu: It’s all written in Dai Viet’s law. I don’t favor anyone.

As for why there have been so many similar cases recently.

This is entirely because in the past, incidents of women being injured occurred. The victims and their relatives did not report the crime, but simply endured it or resolved it privately.

None of it was reported to the court.

But there is none.

As for why there have been so many cases recently, there are no successful cases out there.

Did others follow suit and muster the courage to go to court?

The successful case is the case of Ma Dashan and Liu Qiuyun.

Magistrate Zhu is a good official and will naturally ask for orders for the people.

In addition, during the trial, Gu Xue was watching in the hall, and the victim was from the same village as Gu Xue.

Isn't this obvious, or is he just supporting the people in his village?

Can Magistrate Zhu not take it seriously?

With intentional or unintentional blessings, things are developing in a good direction.

Gu Xue herself didn't expect that a little bit of female consciousness in the crowd had begun to rise.

At first, he was a native of Daling Village. He had work to do in the village and received dividends every year.

With money in hand, they are confident in whatever they do. In addition, the village chief is also a princess, so they are not afraid of going to court.

When something goes wrong, isn't it normal to report it?
