Seeing the butcher in such miserable condition, Gu Yu's suppressed mood improved a little, and there was a smile in his eyes unconsciously.
When it comes to arrogance, you have to look at Xiaoyao Wang.
Gu Yu stood up and said: "Looking for provocation in public and disrespecting the government will be punished by whipping and imprisonment for not less than three months but not more than one year, depending on the circumstances."
Only then did Widow Lin realize that the person who had just answered her was actually the imperial envoy. She immediately knelt down and saluted, "A civilian woman pays homage to the imperial envoy."
Everyone also knelt down and said, "Common people pay their respects to the imperial envoy."
As long as the scholar has the reputation of being a scholar, he can just bow his hands and salute.
Junze lifted his foot from the butcher's mouth. There was a bright footprint next to the butcher's mouth. The front teeth in his mouth were crushed by Junze's foot, and his gums were bleeding.
But when he heard Gu Yu's identity, he was so frightened that he ignored the pain and quickly knelt down and begged for mercy, saying: "The common people are ignorant and have offended you. Please forgive me."
Gu Yudao: "You didn't offend me, you offended this sister-in-law. You should apologize to her."
Gu Yu looked back at Widow Lin and said, "Sister-in-law, please come forward."
Widow Lin didn't expect Gu Yu to say that. She didn't even kneel or stand for a while.
Someone secretly pushed Widow Lin and said, "Sister-in-law, the imperial envoy is calling you. Go quickly."
Widow Lin stood up and walked to Gu Yu with her head lowered, feeling a little confused.
Gu Yudao: "I haven't asked my sister-in-law what her name is yet."
Widow Lin almost fainted. As a widow, she was bullied and belittled every day. Now the imperial envoy of the imperial court actually asked her her name.
Her surname was lost when she married into the Lin family. When her husband was alive, some people still called her Dai Shi. After her husband died, she was only called Widow Lin.
She said solemnly: "Mr. Lin Dai, a civilian woman."
Gu Yudao: "Sister-in-law Dai, this person underestimated you and insulted you. Now I am here to seek justice for you. If you want him to be punished, just say it."
Before Sister-in-law Dai could recover from the dizziness caused by the imperial envoy talking to her, she was even more dizzy by the words "I wonder what kind of punishment he will receive".
Aren’t officials always vicious and aloof?
Why was this Commissioner Gu so gentle and said he would seek justice for her?
There was a lot of trouble in the widow's house. It was like this. She wanted to join the army to earn reward money, which meant she was hot-headed. When those people laughed at her, she gave up her mind.
Seeing the butcher with his mouth full of blood, and the gentle but dignified envoy Gu Qin, she was at a loss. She didn't know what kind of punishment she wanted the butcher to receive, and she didn't know what punishment he should receive.
She didn't even know why the butcher had to be punished for the stupid words she was used to.
Seeing that Sister-in-law Dai did not speak, the butcher thought that she was holding back her cruelty and wanted to take revenge on him, so he hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law Lin, ah no, Sister-in-law Dai, I deserve to die. I am guilty. I should not bully you. You have a lot of money. Let me go."
Just one horse."
As the butcher said this, he knelt on the ground and pulled up the hem of Dai's sister-in-law's skirt.
Sister-in-law Dai took a step back in fright, and Gu Yu kicked the butcher in the face. The butcher lay on the ground and did not stand up for a long time.
Sister-in-law Dai couldn't turn her head around. She had always been someone who was despised and bullied. The butcher who was so arrogant just now actually knelt in front of her and begged for mercy, and was kicked away by Gu Qinshi.
While putting her in a dilemma, she also felt a sense of revenge.
But she really didn't know how to punish the butcher.
Gu Yu noticed her embarrassment and said, "Sister-in-law Dai didn't speak. She must be out of breath. Someone comes and whips this arrogant person ten times and puts her in jail."
Gu Yu looked at the strong body of the butcher and was satisfied that he had captured a strong man who could go on the battlefield.
The strong man lying on the ground pretending to be dead quickly begged for mercy.
The yamen servant had been paying attention to the movements here, watching Gu Yu speak, and quickly came over to arrest the butcher.
Sister-in-law Dai's face turned pale. She would be happy that the butcher was punished, but she was afraid that after the imperial envoy left, the butcher would take revenge on her. At that time, she was an isolated and helpless widow, unable to resist at all.
She wanted to stop her, but Gu Yu said in time: "Sister-in-law Dai, life is not easy, you have to stand up on your own. Just because you are soft-hearted and let him go now does not mean that he will be grateful to you. But if you deal with him harshly,
Only by making him afraid of you can you prevent him from retaliating against you in the future."
Sister-in-law Dai said, "But if he is afraid for a moment, he will never be afraid for the rest of his life. Your Majesty, if one day he is no longer afraid, what will a civilian woman do?"
Gu Yudao: "I just saw that Sister-in-law Dai is planning to join the army. If Sister-in-law Dai can make contributions in the war and become a military household, that person will not dare to bully you in her life."
Not only Sister-in-law Dai was deceived, but also everyone else was deceived.
Household registration in the Yu Dynasty was divided into scholar, military, medical, agricultural, industrial and commercial households. The highest level was scholar, followed by military household.
If any family is a military household, it is really a big deal and no one dares to look down upon it.
Sister-in-law Dai said: "Your Excellency, the civilian women and men have been dead for many years. Even if I join the army, I cannot become a military household."
Gu Yudao: "What does your becoming a military household have to do with your man? You are you, and he is him."
The crowd became restless. There was no such thing as a woman being able to establish her own family, let alone establish a military household in one fell swoop.
At this time, a woman in purple clothes who was quite smartly dressed came out and asked, "Envoy Gu, you are an official and you cannot lie to us common people."
Gu Yu immediately asked the yamen servant to bring pen and ink, pulled out his sword, cut a slit on his right index finger, dripped it into the inkstone, mixed it with the ink, dipped the blood ink into the notice and added a few words on the notice:
"Anyone with meritorious service, regardless of gender, can establish a military household."
Junze frowned slightly beside him.
After Gu Yu finished writing, he stretched out three fingers and swore: "I swear by my blood. If you violate this word, there will be thunder and lightning from heaven."
The woman in purple immediately said: "I want to join the army."
As soon as he finished speaking, an old man came over, covered the mouth of the purple-clothed woman and dragged her back, saying to Gu Yu: "Your Majesty, the imperial envoy, my little girl was rude and bumped into you. I will take her back right away."
The woman struggled and looked at Gu Yu with pleading eyes.
Gu Yu immediately said: "Stop. Didn't you hear? She said she wanted to join the army."
The father of the girl in purple said: "Your Majesty, my daughter is not sensible, so don't be as knowledgeable as her."
The girl in purple finally broke free from her father's hand and said: "I just want to join the army and establish a military household. Sir, I can hunt and use a bow, and can also bandage wounds. I am also strong and can move things. I will definitely do it when the time comes."
If I can help, please accept me."
The father of the girl in purple immediately gave her a hard slap in the face and cursed: "You are a woman, what do you mean by joining the army? Are you not going to get married?"
Gu Yu couldn't bear it any longer. He took out his three-edged sword from its sheath, pointed it at the father, and said coldly: "You commit an attack in front of me, because you don't want to live long."
