Chapter 199 Original Heart and Killing Heart
"Spring and Autumn" says: There is a method of original mind, and there is a method of killing the mind.
That is to say, "Spring and Autumn" records two methods of conviction: the method of original heart, which is to investigate the criminal motive of the criminal suspect to determine whether he is guilty; the method of killing the heart, which means that regardless of whether the suspect is guilty or not, His crime is judged solely on the basis of his intentions.
It is said that once upon a time, there was a man in Qing County (now a part of Cangzhou City, Hebei Province) who was sentenced to death for committing a major crime and was about to be executed.
But he was not willing to die, so he looked around for opportunities to escape.
Through his unremitting efforts, he finally learned a secret: the magistrate of Qingxian County who was in charge of his case had a special hobby, that is, he liked to molest children.
This criminal had a son who was only fourteen or five years old at the time, but he was very handsome.
In order to rescue his father, this young man looked for an opportunity to get close to the magistrate of Qingxian County.
One day, he learned that the county magistrate wanted him to go to the provincial capital to handle matters, and he felt that his opportunity had come.
He followed the county magistrate all the way.
On the way, the magistrate stayed at an inn, and he also stayed at the same inn. Then he pretended to have met by chance, found an excuse to have a lawsuit to fight, asked the county magistrate for help, and volunteered his life.
After the two had an affair, the young man revealed his true intentions.
And the county magistrate was greedy for the beauty of the young man, and in order to achieve the purpose of possessing the young man for a long time, he agreed to his request without hesitation.
I don’t know what method the county magistrate used, but the death row prisoner was released without charge soon after.
In this case, the boy was actually a prostitute who sold men to prostitutes. This was a despicable act, but the world did not look down on him because of it!
This is because his intentions are good and his motive is to save others at the expense of himself!
This is probably the original heart conviction in "Spring and Autumn"!
Here’s another story.
In a certain village, there was a young woman who was greedy for pleasure and often had sex with her husband without any restraint. As a result, her husband died of tuberculosis due to excessive sexual intercourse.
In the days that followed, her mother-in-law discovered that she had a lascivious nature and was worried that she would not be able to remain a widow and would have an affair with others and lose her family's reputation, so she often monitored her and never relaxed.
This mother-in-law took her daughter-in-law to go out and eat together. Even when she slept, she and her daughter-in-law slept in the same bed. They were almost inseparable for five or six years.
He died in depression. She is actually a chaste woman, but if people do not accept her as a chaste woman, her heart will be punished.
This young woman couldn't stand being treated like this by her mother-in-law, and she ended up feeling depressed and depressed.
In fact, no matter how lustful this young woman was, she only had sexual intercourse with her husband and had never had an affair with anyone else. She was considered a chaste woman.
But the world doesn't think she is a chaste woman! Because of her lustful nature, her husband died of physical weakness!
This is probably what the "Spring and Autumn" says about punishing one's heart and condemning one!
Later generations feel that the story of the child molester is similar to what Guo Liu did in Mr. Ji Xiaolan's book. The difference is that the boy did not die. (For details about Guo Liu, please refer to Mr. Ji Xiaolan’s "Luanyang Xia Lu")
No one knew what the young woman's true intentions were and whether she was obscene or not; but her body did not do anything obscene.
"The Book of Songs: Cart" says: "If you are afraid of your son, you will not dare, and if you are afraid of your son, you will not run!" It means: Who said I don't love you? I'm afraid you don't dare to fall in love with me; who says I don't love you? I'm afraid you don't dare to elope with me!
Although the Book of Songs describes the love between men and women, the principles apply to other aspects as well.
It's like saying that those who are officials above the court are afraid and do not do bad things, even if they still abide by the country's laws and regulations; ordinary people below the court can be afraid and do not do bad things. Still observing etiquette.
A gentleman should be kind to others and treat others with tolerance! Just like when the young woman died, our comments on her life should still praise her for being a chaste woman!
