The two hundred and twenty-eighth section extra-judicial branches
After Zhao Hening left, Huang's mood could not be calmed down for a long time. The fluctuations she experienced in recent days were so great that they were far beyond her previous life experience, so much so that she even lost her appetite for food. She had never made her own decision in her life.
, she felt at a loss at this point. Although the young Zhao official asked her to go to Jiujiang Daxu Police Station to write a complaint in three days, she really couldn't imagine what would happen in the future, and the huge sense of uncertainty made her feel anxious.
After finishing the farm work and waiting for Guan Zongbao to return home, Huang decided to go to Guan Youde's second sister first and said that in her world, family members still had to make the final decision on household matters. Like the aborigines of this era, Guan Youde's
He has several brothers and sisters, among whom his second sister has the closest relationship.
The second sister Guan was shocked and angry after hearing Huang's thoughts. She was shocked that Huang wanted to divorce Guan Youde, and angry that she even found an Australian to support her.
"Sister-in-law, since you have married into the Guan family, you should abide by the ethics of women. You are his first wife. Isn't it only natural to care for and care for him? How could you have such thoughts because of the misfortunes in life?" Second Sister Guan
asked cross-examined.
Huang said: "Second sister, I came to see you because you are his sister. Until now, I have not thought about anything. I am just telling you about this matter in advance. I will gather the elders of the clan together soon."
Decision."
After Mr. Huang left, the second sister Guan knew something was wrong. Although she had already married into another family, she still cared about the reputation of her family, so she hurriedly found her eldest brother's family. Presumably Mr. Huang would also come to see him. Soon
, the news reached the ears of Guan Richang, the head of the house.
"Ji Yi, that's what the Australians said." After returning home from Jiujiang Daxu, the patriarch of Shimeitang Guan Boyi had a detailed discussion with his younger brother Guan Jiyi behind closed doors. As a rare Jinshi in the clan, Guan Jiyi also served as a minister in the Ming Dynasty.
As the magistrate of the county, important matters within the clan will naturally be discussed with him.
Guan Jiyi sighed, "For the sake of clan inheritance, I have to bow my head. Other clan elders should be able to understand."
"Where are Mr. Qiu Tao and Mr. Zhongxian (Zhu)..." Guan Boyi was a little worried.
"If someone from his family comes, leave it to me to deal with it," Guan Jiyi said: "Qiu Tao is a man of uprightness and is dedicated to serving the country. I am the same age as him, so I will not embarrass him. But if you want to catch up with me,
Thousands of lives of the clan's young and old are also absolutely unacceptable."
With Guan Jiyi's statement, Guan Boyi felt a lot more at ease and said: "Those who know the current affairs are heroes. The other five halls of the Guan family are also interested in cooperating with the Senate this time. I heard that Shude Hall is willing to donate the land in Shangxi Village near the West Sea.
Senate, although the land is mostly swampy and tidal flats, with the rumored skills of the Australians, it won't take long to transform it into fertile farmland."
Guan Jiyi said: "Yes, looking at the past ten years, anyone who is friendly to the Australians has all ascended to heaven. The businessman who could only be held high by a low-ranking person has become the pillar of the country in the blink of an eye. Anyone who is evil with the Australians will die.
Destroyed? Even Zheng Zhilong, who was far away in Fujian, turned into a handful of loess, and his people died and scattered. Seeing him build a tall building, seeing him entertaining guests, seeing his building collapse. If our clan does not cooperate with the Australians, others will
People are queuing up to get on the boat, how can we, Shimeitang, have a foothold in the future?"
"In this way, these real Australians are not as vulgar as the rumors say. It is said that Magistrate Zhang is a real Australian. Although he does not look like a human being, he has some rules and regulations in his actions. He is a knowledgeable and knowledgeable person.
Lord. If everyone in the Senate is like this, we will definitely be able to accomplish things."
"I hope our ancestors will bless us, Shimeitang, to survive this calamity smoothly."
Just as the two brothers were discussing behind closed doors, the voice of the boy came from outside: "Master, it's not good, something serious is going to happen..."
Guan Jiyi opened the door and scolded: "Why are you so panicked? How can you behave appropriately?"
The boy lowered his head and said anxiously: "The head of the ancestral house in Yanchang is waiting outside, saying that something bad is going on, and the Australians will take the opportunity to cause trouble."
"Where is he?" Upon hearing this, Guan Boyi also came out and asked.
"Two gentlemen, follow me."
The person who was circling anxiously in the hall was Guan Richang. As soon as he saw Guan Boyi, Guan Richang immediately stopped circling and stepped forward and said: "Clan leader, something bad is going on!"
Although Guan Boyi was older, he had seen a lot of storms. He sat down calmly, ordered the servant to serve tea, and then motioned Guan Richang to sit down, and then said: "Don't panic, tell me slowly if you need anything."
"
After listening to Guan Richang's report, Guan Jiyi felt that this incident was strange. Unless a tribesman violated national laws, the government never interfered in the affairs of the tribe. Could it be that the Australians wanted to use this as an example to scare the monkeys?
Even though Guan Boyi was a mature man, he could hear his blood pressure soaring and shouted angrily: "Does this evildoer think that our Shimeitang has fallen into the eyes of the Australians? Where is he? Bring him here quickly, I want to personally investigate."
It was already two days later when Guan Youde was escorted from the gambling house by several strong young men to kneel in front of Guan Boyi, and Guan Youde was still drunk.
A basin of cold water was splashed on Guan Youde's face, and he suddenly woke up and looked around in panic.
"Nie Zhan, do you recognize me?" Guan Boyi asked sharply.
"House Chief! Clan Chief! I recognize it! I recognize it!" Guan Youde replied fearfully.
"Look at the good thing you have done! Your wife actually wants to find an Australian to seek justice. If this matter spreads, where will our Shimeitang's face be from now on?" Guan Boyi scolded sternly: "The current situation is so turbulent, who can
Knowing whether the Australians can take advantage of the topic, where do you want to put the thousands of people in our world?"
"Ah..." Guan Youde only felt that he was more unjust than Dou E, and shouted: "You are wronged, patriarch! I just beat my wife and son after being drunk. I am also the head of the family. Could it be that I have violated the king's law?"
"The rules of our tribe are strict. People have been taught since childhood to respect teachers and moral principles, be harmonious between husband and wife, hold family affairs accountable, and become the head of the clan. If there are any grievances or grievances, they must rely on the clan, the head of the house, the ancestral hall, and the theory of the ancestral hall. They are not allowed to initiate ancestral litigation.
.Every quarter Meng Yue reads the clan rules and family laws, and you learn all the things that go into the dog's belly?" Guan Boyi scolded.
Most of the clan ancestral halls in South China were built during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty. Clan rules also appeared in large numbers, and there was a trend of rural reduction. In order to more effectively control the clan members, clan leaders requested the government's support and approved the clan rules. In order to monitor the clan, the government strengthened
In local management, clan rules are regarded as a supplement to political power. In order to maintain order within the clan, clan rules give clan leaders the judicial power to handle disputes within the clan, prohibit clan members from suing officials, and require clan members to resolve conflicts within the clan.
"Hitting your wife? Humph!" Guan Jiyi is also a man who has experienced the ups and downs of the officialdom. He said: "Some things don't weigh as much as four or two if they don't go on the scale, but if they do, they won't weigh a thousand pounds. Let's talk about your family first.
Well, there has to be a way to deal with this."
Guan Youde started talking in a garbled way, full of resentment towards the Huang family. He even scolded the Huang family for having an affair with a certain Guan family member and wanted to divorce her a long time ago.
Guan Boyi shook his head when he heard this, with an expression of hatred for steel, and gnashed his teeth and cursed: "You unscrupulous descendants, our ancestors have all lost their face! My ancestor of Shimeitang, Pingjiang Guanjun, was the successor of Guan Yunchang.
, I moved here with my tribe during troubled times four hundred years ago, and I was able to establish my family business after overcoming all obstacles. You..."
"Hahaha..." Guan Youde laughed uncharacteristically and said with a stern look: "I am a dying person. I don't even know if I will be able to see the sun tomorrow. I ask myself if I have done this.
What kind of outrageous thing has ended up with everyone betraying their relatives and leaving their wives and children, so why do you care about the honor of your ancestors?"
With a "pop", Guan Boyi slammed his hand on the table, making a loud noise, "You! Do you want to be removed from the family tree? If so, I will help you! From today on, you are no longer me.
The descendants of Shimeitang are not allowed to be buried in the family grave after death!"
Hearing "removing his name from the genealogy", Guan Youde panicked and collapsed on the ground. If his name was missing from the genealogy, he would not be able to accept sacrifices and tributes from his descendants after his death, and his soul would not be able to return to his ancestral land.
He became a lonely ghost wandering the world, and could only survive by robbing the remaining tributes from other ghosts.
Guan Youde begged for mercy: "Chief, I know I was wrong! Please show mercy and spare me this time. I promise not to let the Australians know next time."
"How dare there be a next time?" Guan Boyi's words were threatening. Although he was the patriarch, "removing someone from the family tree" was not a simple matter. Generally speaking, the clan could not remove a person from the family tree casually.
Only those who have committed heinous crimes or other serious violations of clan rules and corrupted the family tradition will be expelled from the clan. When expelling a person from the clan, the clan members must also be summoned and announced in the ancestral hall in front of the gods of the ancestors.
After committing the crime of the offender, he solemnly invites the family tree, picks up the brush, dips it in cinnabar mixed with water and grinds it, and crosses out the name of the offender with a swipe of the pen. Finally, the offender is expelled from the ancestral hall and the family boundary.
.
"There will be no next time! There will be no next time!" Guan Youde replied solemnly.
Guan Boyi glanced at Guan Richang and said: "Guan Richang, your ancestral house in Yanchang is not managed well. Some people entered the public court without naming the clan first. They were fined five taels of silver and confiscated in the temple. Do you have any objections?"
"no disagreement."
Clan is a blood group. From the perspective of the clan, the most important thing for what the clan members do is to honor their ancestors. The next best thing is to abide by the ancestral precepts and not insult the ancestors. If you do something wrong, it will be unfilial to the ancestors. The clan leader is not filial to the clan.
The adjudication of disputes is to act on behalf of the ancestors and be responsible to the ancestors. "If the descendants violate the family motto, the congregation will take them to the ancestral hall and sue the ancestors. They will be severely punished and the province will be ordered to change."
Guan Boyi said to Guan Youde: "According to the clan rules, you should be beaten ten times with the cane. Since you are sick, I punish you to repair the ancestral graves."

Guan Youde kowtowed repeatedly: "Thank you, Patriarch, for showing mercy!"
Guan Jiyi ordered: "You must persuade Mr. Huang to cancel the lawsuit, and you must not let the Australians interfere in this matter."
