The so-called ancient flower picking thieves are, to put it bluntly, today's rapists. Although China was a feudal society in ancient times, the status of women was very low, and feudal etiquette also took care of young women very strictly, especially those who were bridesmaids, who rarely went out, but there were still many rape cases in ancient China, and due to the problem of unsound laws in feudal society, there were not many cases that could be filed for "picking flowers". So, who were the most famous flower pickers of the year? How did they get caught?
Sang Chong
Sang Chong this person lived in the Ming Dynasty, from childhood is a rogue habit, few people in the neighborhood are willing to pay attention to him, a chance, let Sang Chong worship an adulterous thief as a teacher, from the adulterous thief learned the technique of male dressing as a woman.
After completing his studies, Sang Chong often dressed up as long women, mixed with the women's pile, and after getting acquainted with these women, he began to ask these women out alone and rape these women, and few women were able to escape from Sang Chong's hands.
Because Sang Chong repeatedly succeeded, his reputation in the "flower picking" circle was very large, and he successively accepted seven apprentices to teach them the method of "picking flowers".
According to Sang Chong's account after his arrest, in more than ten years, he wandered around, successively reaching more than 40 state capitals and seducing more than 180 women of good families. With such a huge number of crimes, apart from Sang Chong, there is really no one else to be found in the history of our country.
So, how did he get exposed? Speaking of the reason, the words also blame Sang Chong for being unlucky enough. After coming to Jinzhou, he fell in love with a daughter of a squire named Gao Xuan, and when he performed the original method of seduction, he stayed with Gao Xuan's daughter all day, but because the dress was too exquisite, he did not expect that Gao Xuan's son-in-law took the lead in moving against him and wanted to rape him, because he lived in the pile of women all day, Sang Chong was already a bit feminine, and he had no ability to break away from Gao Xuan's son-in-law, he did not expect that this son-in-law almost raped a man, and then Gao Xuan's family sent Sang Chong to the official palace.
The BlackFace
During the Kangxi Dynasty of the Qing Dynasty, there was a flower picking thief in Cangzhou, because he always masked his face with a black cloth, no one had ever seen his true face, and people called him a "black-faced ghost". This person can do some kung fu, and the girl he has a crush on, whether married or unmarried, as long as it falls into his hands, no one can escape. After receiving the report, the government sent people to arrest the "black-faced ghost" many times, and each time it ended in failure, and in desperation, the governor of Cangzhou had to report to the imperial court.
Later, the imperial court sent a catcher named Liu Zhenyun, who was very skilled, but the first few times when he fought against the "black-faced ghost", he was still escaped by the "black-faced ghost".
Liu Zhenyun knew that there must be something wrong there, why was he always escaped by the "black-faced ghost"? Moreover, there are always suspicious women in the place where the "black-faced ghost" disappears, and such a situation occurs more often, and Liu Zhenyun feels that there is definitely something wrong with those women.
In the last confrontation, as usual, Liu Zhenyun found a woman in the place where the "black-faced ghost" disappeared, this time, Liu Zhenyun did not easily let go of this woman, tried to fight with the woman, and sure enough, the woman was extraordinary.
In the process of fighting, the woman revealed her true identity, in fact, he is a "black-faced ghost" who is just a woman dressed as a man, in order to escape from Liu Zhenyun's side.
However, the martial arts of the "black-faced ghost" were far inferior to Liu Zhenyun, and he was quickly caught by Liu Zhenyun. However, compared to Sang Chong, the number of crimes committed by the black-faced ghost is not much.
