"My daughter died after 6 years of marriage to you, I have to open the coffin to see what is going on, you are desperately trying to stop it, there must be a ghost in your heart! "During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, in Longping County, Zhaozhou (now Longyao County, Hebei), Zhang Tiezhu suddenly received a report from his son-in-law Wang Rui, saying that his daughter suddenly fell ill and died. Wang Tiehammer rushed to his daughter's residence, and after crying bitterly, he wanted to look at his daughter again, but he didn't expect his son-in-law Wang Rui to resolutely oppose it and push and block it. He also instigated the tribesmen to beat Zhang Tiehammer.
Zhang Tiehammer was very angry and immediately returned to his home to greet a group of relatives and friends. Due to pressure, Wang Rui had no choice but to agree to open the coffin.
After the coffin was opened, Zhang Tiehammer concluded at a glance that his daughter had been killed: there were blood stains on the side of her mouth, obvious strangulation marks on her neck, and multiple bruises on her body.
He hurried to the county yamen to report the case.
The magistrate ordered the corpse to be opened and the injuries carefully examined.
He reported the injury: "There is a strangulation mark on the neck, and the deceased is obviously suffocated to death, which should be a fatal injury; There are several bruises on the front chest and back, both old and new, which are not fatal; There is a spinning iron collar in the valley road, which penetrates deep into the abdomen, which is also a fatal wound. ”
After examining the body, the magistrate ordered the official to press Wang Rui to the ground and put him on the stick: "If you dare to quibble again, you won't be killed!" ”
Wang Rui knew very well: If he continued to rely on him, he would suffer the crime, so he confessed truthfully.
It turned out that Wang Rui lost his father at an early age, and his mother brought him and his brother Wang Dalong up with hard work. He practiced martial arts since he was a child, and later became a martial arts instructor in a large family. At the age of 23, he married his wife, Zhang.
Although Zhang was born in a farming family, she has 3 older brothers, and her parents have been obedient to her since she was a child, and her brothers have also given in everything, so they have developed a willful and brutal bad temper.
After the Zhang family married into her mother-in-law's family, she never fulfilled her daughter-in-law's filial piety, and never did work such as carrying water and firewood, saying that she had never done it since she was a child, and she couldn't do it;
The pigsty and chicken coop are never cleaned, saying that they can't stand the smell;
I don't cook food, I don't wash clothes, and I say that I have been wearing clothes since I was a child, and I stretch out my hands to eat to open my mouth.
The mother-in-law was not used to it, and the Zhang family was counted, but the Zhang family not only did not listen to the advice, but talked back to the mother-in-law.
Wang Rui taught Zhang a lesson behind his back and asked her to be filial to her mother-in-law.
Zhang's agreed, but he was resentful, and he intensified his torture of his mother-in-law behind his back.
Wang Rui was very annoyed when he learned about it and beat Zhang violently.
Zhang was doted on by his father and brother, and now he was beaten by his husband, and he ran back to his parents' house when he was angry and stomped his feet.
Wang Rui married his daughter-in-law at the age of 23, and his peers have several children at this time, so he can't give up! So Wang Rui took the initiative to come to his father-in-law's house to compensate for it, and was reprimanded by his father-in-law and 3 brothers-in-law, and he didn't defend himself, so he finally took his daughter-in-law home.
With the support of his mother's family, the Zhang family is even more unscrupulous.
On February 15 of this year, Zhang had a conflict with his mother-in-law because of his willfulness, and pushed his mother-in-law to the ground, and then walked away.
Wang Rui was furious, found Zhang, and without saying a word, he was punched, kicked and scolded.
Because of the loss, Zhang's hatred in his heart was even stronger because he let her husband teach him a lesson.
Two days later, in the afternoon, Zhang fed the dog the unfinished meal, and her mother-in-law Yang counted that she didn't know how to cherish the food.
Zhang pointed at the dog and scolded: "You old dog who is not welcome, you are not worthy of eating, you will starve to death!" ”
These words were heard by Wang Rui and his brother Wang Dalong. Wang Rui couldn't bear it anymore, so he raised his foot and kicked Zhang to the ground.
After her husband and uncle left, Zhang sat on the kang and scolded her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law for several hours.
In the evening, Wang Rui came home after a tired day, cold pots and cold stoves, and Zhang's chattered and scolded non-stop.
Wang Rui was evil and angry, pushed Zhang down on the kang, picked up a footcloth and wrapped it around Zhang's neck, trying to strangle her to death.
Zhang's desperate struggle, although Wang Rui was a martial arts practitioner, he couldn't subdue him, so he had to call his brother Wang Dalong to help: "Brother, sooner or later she will make the old lady angry to death!" ”
Wang Da hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and held Zhang's left hand. Wang Rui pressed Zhang's right hand with his knee, wrapped the footcloth around Zhang's neck, and strangled Zhang.
Wang Rui saw that Zhang was still breathing weakly, so he took off the spinning iron collar from the wall and pierced into Zhang's Valley Road, and Zhang was killed instantly.
The case is not complicated, that is, the daughter-in-law Zhang scolded her mother-in-law, which angered her son, and the son taught his wife a lesson, but the wife did not repent, but treated her mother-in-law even worse, and then the younger brother killed his wife with the help of his brother!
According to the laws of the Qing Dynasty, "All wives and concubines who beat their husbands and parents will be beheaded!" "Zhang's pushing and shoving mother-in-law is beating; Referring to the dog scolding the mother-in-law, according to the law, he will be strangled. In any case, Zhang is a criminal who deserves to die. Since they are the ones who deserve to die, Wang Rui and his eldest brother's behavior is to eliminate harm for the country and the people, which is a righteous act.
In the end, Wang Rui, who killed his wife, was sentenced to 1 year in prison and was given 20 boards to the place where he was sentenced; Wang Dalong, who helped his younger brother kill his wife, was hit by 40 boards, and the case was closed.
From the verdict, it can be seen that the Qing Dynasty will not tolerate acts that violate etiquette and religion! (*From the Internet, invaded and deleted).
