Edo Traveler

Vol 2 Chapter 7: Cautious use of torture without partiality

   The truth is revealed!

   Is there anything else to say? The step-wife is the eleven-year-old daughter of the greedy family. She wants to take it for nothing, and then uses the little girl for profit. Used to supplement his declining family background, as well as his son who immediately took the job and needed money.

   As for the separation of other people's flesh and blood, it's her business!

   Said she was bad, and this person is also bad. Said she is good, this person kind of dotes on her son. Human is such a complicated animal. But no matter how complicated it is, she can't change her bad mind trying to seize other people's children. There is no doubt about this.

   The laws of the Edo Shogunate focused on the issue of the right to custody of children. In fact, all of them focused on boys, because when the laws of the samurai were formulated, they were all about the inheritance of the family. As for the girls, Ieyasu Tokugawa and Hidetada Tokugawa did not expect this at all.

   So in theory, there is no legal basis now, and what can be invoked is child trafficking. It should be noted that in the feudal era, the penalties for kidnapping and trafficking in children are much more severe than in the future. In later generations, due to certain special considerations, in order to prevent traffickers from harming women and children who were trafficked, they were often not sentenced to severe death.

   At the moment, whether it is Oeiqing next door, Li Chao, and Japan, where Chuemon is located, for the abducting and trafficking of women and children, especially the kind of childbirth that makes children disabled for profit. It was extremely evil. Not many years ago, Emperor Jiaqing sentenced an elderly trafficker who was over seventy years old to death.

   This is already the most severe personal punishment in the feudal Confucian society that pays attention to prudent punishment. Ling Chi is often sentenced only for the crime of conspiring to commit great rebellion, and ordinary murderers are generally sentenced to beheading.

   And that trafficker is in his seventies. It stands to reason that he is not a criminal at this age in ancient times. The advice given to Jiaqing by the local officials was also the sentence of imprisonment.

   But Jiaqing abducted and trafficked 16 little girls, killed 11 of them, and disabled five elderly traffickers. In order to deter the criminals and stabilize the people, after reporting to the Ministry of Justice, regardless of autumn, he directly ordered the imperial guards to carry out the imperial decree, went south to Anhui, and executed the traffickers to death in the downtown area.

   Now if the post-wife talks about the abduction of children, then it is not as simple as beating thirty. The top punishment can be sentenced to "bamboo sawing", that is, burying people on the ground, and passing people take bamboo pieces to cut the murderer's neck with one stroke until the murderer's death.

   Chungemon saw that although his wife was not a good person, she was obviously not sentenced to death. As a person in charge of judicial adjudication, Tademon himself still hopes to use punishment carefully.

   "Since you have pleaded guilty, Gu Nian still has a child in his family, and he has been forced into hard labor under the city for 30 days, and he has spent 50!" Chungemon sentenced him to stand.

   Yuanshan Yuan, who was sitting on the top, nodded his head unanimously, expressing his approval of this judgment. If you want a fine, this woman obviously can't hand it over. If you are sentenced to exile, what will this child do? However, it is absolutely impossible to easily condone the crime of robbing other people's children for nothing, so 30 days of hard labor in the city is a very appropriate punishment.

  The hard labor under the castle didn't mean that she was asked to build a fortress. Edo Castle has been around for more than two hundred years, so there is no need for fortification. What this meant was that she was asked to go to the ditch under the city to dig out big dung and let the water flow. After being punished like this, most people would have a longer memory no matter what. As for Fifty Fifty, just hitting fifty with a small bamboo board or back is also a warning sign.

   The ex-wife, mother and daughter who originally saw Chuemon Hei San were full of ill feelings, now they have changed their colors, calling on Chuemon to judge the case like a god. Many salutes to Chuemon and the two adults sitting in the main hall to express their gratitude.

  The people eating melons in the field also knew that Chuemon had taken out fifty taels to deceive the stepwife who had only money in his eyes, and at the same time, tried to see if the ex-wife was really unwilling to be separated from her daughter. It's not that she really wants to buy her daughter and send it to Daao's cage that he can't get out of his entire life.

   Everyone was impressed by Chuemon's wit, and such a tricky case, which was impossible to judge at all, could be easily judged within a few words. Not only has the bad intentions of the step-wife been completely exposed, but it has also taken into account the problem of having a child in the step-wife’s family.

   Thanks to the kindness of the mother and daughter, Chuemon sat back on the porch again, bright and bright!

   For the follow-up cases, Yuan Jingyuan will of course not be on trial. He is just an idol to increase credibility. Now that the contending case has been settled, Yuan Shanyuan, who is the leader, must be no longer interested in the next small case.

   It is nothing more than drunk in the store and beat people to see blood, or caught some habitual stealing, and seized some dirt~www.wuxiaspot.com~ needs to be filed and registered, and will be returned to the owner in the future. There are also cases of brothers competing for property, but in these cases, either the criminal has already arrived, or the factual evidence is clear, all can be judged based on previous cases.

  Because of his previous practice in Edo-cho, as well as everyone and power, there is a good senior, named Ooka Echizen Shou Tadao. This old man's eyes are like torches. In Japanese history, he has the same meaning as Bao Qingtian next door. Pursued as the name of the world, he was in charge of Edo for 19 years. During this period, the people are happy and praised by the people.

   Since it is the Japanese "Bao Qingtian", how could Ooka Tadao leave a little bit of descendants. He personally wrote a book of "The Official Official Party's Royal Order" as a supplement to the martial arts. In addition, the various judgments that Ooka Tadasang has been serving for the past nineteen years have been brought together, all of which can be used as regular cases.

   Basically, as long as the facts are clear, a similar verdict can be found in the "Official Party Official Document". Heizo and Chuemon just need to draw a gourd.

   The common people's spread of Ooka Echizen's reputation is called a wide. Many writers who have written novels these years like to use the name of Ooka Tadao to write those crime-solving episodes with martial arts colors. Not only the people like to hear and see, but also leave a lot of textual materials for future literary creations and film and television creations.

   In later generations, some detective novels and animation film and television dramas all borrow the content of the current Ooka crime novels. For example, the familiar Conan and Jin Tianyi have some shadows in them.

  Tadaemon Heizo does not procrastinate at all, and can try as quickly as possible without delay. This is not only to appease the suffering master, but also to be responsible for the criminals.

   Today, the result of the punishment of the case of Seiko was spread word-of-mouth from the masses of melon-eating people, and the name of Edogawa Chuemon, the name of Edogawa Chuemon, was spread day by day in the thousands of households who entered Edo Castle Town.
