Before the two of them reached Sanxianlou, a group of people gathered together. Hearing someone calling for help, Gu Can immediately stepped forward.
"Oh my God, she's about to give birth."
"I look at Xuan, she looks like she's having a difficult birth."
"What are you looking at? Get out of here, you bitch. I've already told you that the baby is dead, and you don't think it's bad luck, but I do. You've caused me to lose money lately. I'll beat this evil creature to death." The man said as he was about to hit her with a stick.
Gu Can saw this scene when he arrived. He immediately stepped forward, grabbed the wooden stick, and kicked the man away.
"Erqiang, Erqiang, what's wrong with you? Who are you? Why did you hit my son?" An old woman rushed over.
Gu Can ignored those people and took off his official robe and put it on the woman.
"Don't be afraid, they can't hurt you. I'll take you to the clinic now."
"Stop, who are you?"
"It's Gu Zhuangyuan, Gu Zhuangyuan. This woman is obviously having a difficult childbirth. How unlucky! You'd better stay away from her."
"That's right, women's private parts are the dirtiest, and they bleed. It's really unlucky."
"It's indeed dirty there, because dirty things like you were born there. It's unlucky that you were born from a woman's crotch!" Gu Can picked up the pregnant woman and released his imposing pressure, and everyone made way for her.
"Master Gu, what happened?" The patrolling officer arrived just in time.
"Catch those troublemakers over there, and then I will go to the prefect to plead my case myself." Gu Can said hurriedly, then carried the woman to the clinic.
"Wa ...
"Thank you."
"Don't cry, otherwise the child will think you don't like her." Gu Can said softly, gently wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"This child has good fortune in store. The first person to hold her after she was born was the top scorer in this year's imperial examination. Madam Li, you should be happy now." The person who came to help was the proprietress of the clinic. She was an extremely gentle woman, but she was very efficient in her work.
"it is good."
After she was dealt with and she had some strength left, she told Gu Can the whole story.
"Assholes, how dare these people under the emperor be so arrogant!" Gu Can was really angry after hearing this. This woman was raped by that bastard, and not only did her family not seek justice for her, they also hurriedly married her off without even a dowry.
After she got married, her family beat and scolded her. Things started to improve slightly when she found out she was pregnant. Even worse, when the test showed it was a girl, they went back to their old ways. The man was a gambler, and whenever he lost, he'd come back and beat her. Today, she finally found an opportunity to escape.
I was almost caught again.
"Do you dare to go to court?" Gu Can looked at her.
"Master Gu, I dare you. I want to divorce that beast. I'm just afraid that I won't be able to take my daughter with me."
"Don't worry, I'm here." Seeing the determination in her eyes, Gu Can promised seriously. God will help those who are self-reliant and strong. The mother and son were arrested and thrown into prison.
"Cancan, are you okay?" Feng Xiao and Gu Wenlu also heard the news and came to pick her up in person because they were worried. Seeing her covered in blood, they were really shocked. They quickly took Gu Can to check.
"I'm fine, it's Madam Li's fault. It's just right that you're here, Jinfeng Yulu, you stay and take care of Madam Li tonight."
"Yes."
Feng Xiao put a clean robe on Gu Can.
The family went to Jingzhao Prefecture, and Gu Can told the prefect of Jingzhao what had happened.
"Sir Lin, Madam Li is suing him for rape. Don't get it wrong. I know the law doesn't regulate behavior after marriage, but you can sue for behavior before marriage. Since someone has filed a complaint, it's okay for them to detain him for the time being." Gu Can saw that he was hesitant to speak and said directly.
"Master Xiao Gu is right." What could he do? It was obvious that Master Xiao Gu was determined to take care of this matter.
The next day, as soon as she went to court, the censor came to report her.
"They say it's better to demolish ten temples than to destroy a marriage. Minister Gu actually let his wife sue her husband. He even beat someone in the street. This is simply lawless."
Gu Can walked straight up to him and kicked him in the heart, causing him to fall to the ground with a "duang" sound.
"Does it hurt?" She walked forward and stepped on his wrist.
"Does it hurt?"
"Gu Can, you are so insolent!" The prince saw that this was a handle that was delivered to his door.
"How outrageous! You are the ones who are outrageous. You were born from a woman's crotch, yet you despise her filthiness. A bunch of people who only seek a sense of existence in women, are you human? The Emperor knows how to appoint people and appoints them wisely, and his administration is clean and honest. I really didn't expect that right under the Emperor's feet, someone would beat up a pregnant woman in the street, and no one would dare to step forward to stop it."
"Your Majesty, she is a wife, a daughter, and the mother of a child to come, but she is also a person. When you decreed that women could study, take exams, and become officials, weren't you treating women as human beings? How can it be that after marriage, women are no longer human beings?"
"But Gu Qing, this is a family matter after all."
"This isn't a family matter, it's two lives. If it's a marriage, then killing someone isn't illegal. Okay, I can marry Censor Wu now, and then I can beat him or even kill him, and it won't be illegal, right?"
"In the case of murdering her husband in Ping'an Town, Mrs. Du was sentenced to hanging, Mrs. He in Luyuan County was beheaded, and Mrs. Qin in Lekangfang was quartered. A woman who killed her husband is subject to capital punishment, while a man who beat and killed his wife is considered a family matter. How can such a thing be justified? In your eyes, men are the only people in this world."
"They committed premeditated murder," Censor Wu shouted.
"Because they have nowhere to turn for help! When they were covered in bruises, everyone was like Censor Wu, saying condescendingly, 'It's better to demolish ten temples than to ruin a marriage. Which man doesn't beat his wife? Just endure it and it will pass. But if she can't endure it anymore, then they can only die together, right?"
"If the emperor thinks I am wrong, I will accept your punishment, but I will definitely demand justice for Lady Li's matter."
"Your Majesty, please give justice to Madam Li." Lord Su also walked out from behind and knelt beside Gu Can.
"Your Majesty, please seek justice for Madam Li." Lord Mo also came, Lord Cheng, Lord An, and more than a dozen female officials in the court all stood up.
They are not just seeking justice for Lady Li. Women all over the world suffer, and they work so hard, aren't they just seeking justice for themselves and others?
"Your Majesty, please grant justice to Madam Li." This time it was Grand Tutor Gu who spoke, followed by Prime Minister Gu, Zhang Shu, and Lin Jinshi. In a blink of an eye, half of the people in the hall knelt down.
"Alright, this matter will be transferred to the Dali Temple for trial. Gu Can, you will assist. Since you are demanding justice, you must uphold your integrity. If you are unfair, you will bear the consequences yourself. Today, you behaved disrespectfully in front of the palace and assaulted an official. You will be fined three months' salary and given twenty strokes of the cane. Remember to accept your punishment after this matter is over."
"Thank you, Your Majesty for your grace."
"Your Majesty is wise." Now everyone knelt down whether they wanted to or not.
After the court session, Censor Wu snorted coldly at Gu Can. There were several officials around him who didn't like Gu Can.
"If the Censor doesn't want to listen to reason, I also know a little bit of martial arts." Gu Can looked at them calmly. Censor Wu was still grimacing in pain at this moment, and he quickly left in shame.
"Minister Gu."
"Can thanks all the gentlemen on behalf of Madam Li." Gu Can saw that it was Lord Su and the others, so he quickly bowed and thanked them.
"Minister Gu, you are too polite. Women in the world suffer. If they don't give us justice, we will fight for it ourselves. You are braver than us. Just tell us what you need us to do." Lord Su quickly helped Gu Can up.
