Kyoto, Rongguo Gongfu, Rongqing Hall.

At this time, Jia Mu was sitting high in the hall, with a sinister look on her face, and she scolded: "That villain is so audacious that he even killed his clan uncle."

Yangzhou closed the gates. After the Yangzhou salt merchants compromised, they opened the gates. At this point, the news of Yangzhou naturally spread.

Jia's mother was also surprised when she learned that Jia Yun had killed her uncle in the street. Although she knew that Jia Yun had a cold heart, she never expected that he would go to such an extent. After all, he was his uncle, so how could he kill him.

Wang Xifeng on the side said angrily: "I heard that Jia Ai disobeyed military orders, so Brother Yun took action."

Wang Xifeng is the steward of Rongguo Duke's mansion, so she only knows a little more about it.

When Jia Mu heard this, she said angrily: "You disobey military orders. Where do you get military orders? It's not a war. Any military order requires cruelty."

Knowing that Jia's mother was angry, Wang Xifeng kept silent. No matter what, Jia Yun would have a difficult time in the clan. Even if there were legitimate reasons, she would not be convinced by the clan.

The act of annihilating one's relatives for the sake of justice is only recognized by a small number of "outsiders".

Jia Mu calmed down for a moment, pinched her forehead with a headache, and said: "That evildoer is really rebellious. If he had been dealt with earlier, this kind of thing would not have happened."

After complaining regretfully, Jia Mu added, "What do you think from Dongfu?"

Regardless of whether they have married or not, Jia Yun is from Dongfu. What's more, the patriarch is also in Dongfu, so it is natural that Dongfu should handle it.

Wang Xifeng heard this and said hurriedly: "The eldest master of Dongfu held a clan meeting in the ancestral hall, probably to discuss this matter."

"Ancestral hall?" Jia Mu was startled when she heard this.

"That's all, it's their men's business anyway, let them handle it themselves." Jia Mu said calmly.

............................

Ningguofu West Road Courtyard, Jiafu Ancestral Hall.

Generally speaking, clan rules are very strict. Except for sacrifices, funerals, and weddings, trespassing into the ancestral hall is not allowed, otherwise you will be severely punished.

But today is neither a new year nor a festival, neither a funeral nor a wedding, but the Jia's ancestral hall is full of guests.

The two masters of Xifu, Jia She and Jia Zheng, and other clan elders were present one by one, and the atmosphere was solemn.

In the ancestral hall, the first person is Jia Zhen, the heir to Duke Ning's family, and the next person is Jia She, the heir to Duke Rong's family.

At the beginning, among the two Dukes Rong and Ning, Ning was the elder brother, so the position of patriarch was naturally the heir to Duke Ning's mansion.

Although Jia Zhen is a third-rank general and Jia She is a first-class general with different statuses, within the clan, Jia Zhen is still the leader. This is the clan rule.

Jia Zhen looked gloomy and said, "There are such beasts in the clan who have betrayed their ancestors. How do you think we should deal with them?"

The exit point was to betray his ancestors and forget his ancestors, obviously intending to put Jia Yun to death.

Jia She snorted coldly and said indifferently: "What else is there to say about killing a clan uncle? Expelling him from the clan, crossing out his name from the family tree, and depriving him of his surname."

A person must have a family, and a family must have training.

As the saying goes, "There is no circle without rules."

Each clan will formulate its own code of conduct, which basically covers all aspects such as self-cultivation, family harmony, loyalty to the emperor, respect for ancestors, mutual assistance, and law-abiding.

The person in charge of the clan rules in the family will give corresponding punishments to those who violate the clan rules.

Once a person violates the clan rules, he will be interrogated in the ancestral hall in front of the clan members and given punishment.

Those who are serious will be directly expelled from the family.

Being expelled from the family was the most humiliating thing in ancient times. For minor cases, the person would be expelled from the family, but his name would still be in the family tree, and he would still have hope of returning to the family in the future.

However, for serious cases, people who have committed unforgivable crimes, such as "selling their ancestors for glory, collaborating with the enemy and treason, committing adultery, etc." will not only be expelled from the family, but their names will also be crossed out from the family tree.

, and strip away the surname.

In addition, people who are expelled from the family cannot enter the family tree after death, nor can they be buried in the family cemetery.

Once someone commits such an unforgivable crime, the person who is expelled from the family will not only no longer be recognized as a clan member by the family, but also this person will become a "rootless" person from now on.

And Jia She said that this kind of punishment was the heaviest punishment in the clan.

Jia Zheng looked embarrassed when he heard this, coughed dryly, and said hesitantly: "This punishment is too severe! In the final analysis, Jia Ai violated the military order first."

Although Jia Zheng is pedantic, he also knows that military orders are as powerful as the sky. Jia Ai has violated national laws and should be punished. However, Jia Yun's methods are too harsh.

Although Jia Yun went too far, it was not enough. According to Jia Zheng, expelling the clan would be enough.

As soon as these words came out, Jia Zhen's face twitched heavily. He was extremely excited after knowing the news. That evil obstacle dared to disobey him. Jia Zhen had long wanted to teach him a lesson, but she couldn't find the opportunity.

After a lot of trouble, something like this happened, so naturally we couldn't keep him.

So Jia Zhen said sternly: "Bullshit military orders, those Jia Ai brothers were supposed to help with the security of Yangzhou, but they were negligent for a moment, and they didn't understand the reason and actually killed people in the street. Such actions are really rebellious things that destroy the foundation of Rong Ning."

.”

No matter what, Jia Zhen avoided the serious and chose the less serious.

Jia She glanced at Jia Zheng and said coldly: "Brother Zhen is right, the clan rules say: "Respect your elders, live in harmony with your brothers, and live in harmony with the clan." The big tree has thousands of branches and one root, and the clan is one family.

But this Jia Yun, has he ever thought about his clan?"

Jia Zheng frowned when he heard this and said no more.

Although Jia Yun's move was acceptable in terms of justice, it was a rebellious move within the clan. Even if Jia Ai really committed a crime, he could not do it, but could just leave it to Yousi Yamen to handle it. What's more, under their circumstances,

It seems that this is a "little thing". After a closer look, it is really chilling to see people killing people in the street without any regard for the feelings of the same clan.

Relatives should hide from each other and members of the same clan should rely on each other. This is the clan rule.

Jia Zhen struck while the iron was hot and said with a "sad" look on her face: "Everyone knows that the evil boy was originally my eldest son. I thought there was no one in the seventh house, so I passed him over.

When his mother-in-law died in childbirth, she saw how pitiful he was, so she taught him everything he needed to eat, clothe, chew, read, and write. Who knew that he would be shortchanged by such a rebellious evil spirit? He thought he would be sent to the army.

He learned well, but who would have thought that he would become more and more rebellious, and even committed patricide in the past."

As soon as these words came out, Jia She and everyone were shocked. They really didn't know about these things, but Jia Zheng remained silent. After all, he knew.

When Jia She heard this, he cursed: "That bitch, you can't let him go."

If the son is the father, how can he commit parricide?

Hearing Jia She's statement, Jia Zhen was secretly happy, but with a sad look on her face, she stood up and saluted and said: "Speaking of which, my nephew's poor teaching was the reason why he raised such beasts that were inferior to pigs and dogs, which led to Brother Qi's misfortune. This

All the sins are on my nephew, and I apologize here."

Jia She said eloquently: "Brother Zhen, you are the same. These rebellious beasts should be beaten to death as soon as possible, so as not to stain the lintel of the Duke's mansion."

Jia Zhen "cryed" and said: "Uncle, he is my son after all. How can my nephew be willing to part with it? What's more, such rebellious things can't be publicized until it's too late to cover them up."

After this behavior, everyone thought that Jia Zhen was a good patriarch and father who valued love and justice!....

Jia She gently stroked his beard, raised his little finger slightly, and gritted his teeth and said: "If our descendants are disobedient, they may make our ancestors angry. Brother Zhen, please don't let him go. Such beasts should be killed by a monk."

The clan leader has the power to punish and even kill those who violate clan rules or impede morals. This is called clan power, also called patriarchal power, and it is a power recognized by the court.

However, the premise is that he violated the clan rules. Although Jia Yun killed Jia Ai, Jia Ai disobeyed the military order first. If you want to deal with Jia Yun according to the clan rules, you cannot do it. After all, there is the king's law above the clan rules.

Hearing this, Jia Zheng reminded: "Jia Yun is a close minister of the emperor, and he is an emperor's official. If he is killed with a stick, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of the emperor?"

When Jia She heard this, he was immediately stunned, "Humph" and said: "Then we'll beat him twenty times, drive him out of the clan, and let him fend for himself."

After hearing this, Jia Zhen said to everyone: "What do the clan elders think?"
