Wang Xiran was chatting with the students outside the park, and he was paying attention to the movements on the official road. Leaving Wang Xiran is to let him take care of the fiefdom, lest someone with a heart instigate the students to petition for her after Wang Jue leaves, if this is the case, she will be very dangerous, and no matter how generous the emperor is, he does not want to see the courtiers too popular.

In addition to Wang Xiran, Meng Xiang and Mo Yun also sat next to them eating roast duck and listening to their chat. Seeing that several people who had left in the morning appeared in sight, the three of them hurriedly walked up to inquire about the situation.

Seeing that everyone's faces were not good, Wang Xiran asked in surprise, "How?" But on a business trip? ”

Wang Jue sighed lightly, "No, the Cui family has been detained, and there is no problem with the arrangements we made beforehand." It's just that the father and daughter of the heavy family left on the afternoon of the full moon banquet on the grounds of worshipping their ancestors, and the eldest brother... When the official went to the eldest brother's house to look for someone, he found that he had passed away. ”

"What?!" The three of them were shocked when they heard the news, who would do anything to such an inconsequential person as Boss Wang? If you do it, there must be a reason to get rid of him.

Wang Xiran guessed after thinking for a while: "Maybe it's not the heavy family's doing?" If they have already escaped, why bother? ”

"The second sister-in-law has already said that the two problematic handkerchiefs Chongxia has handled, and Wang Siwei is through guò They only came to the Cui family to learn, and they can't get rid of the relationship. When we left, Chang'an Commander had ordered the officials to arrest all the Boling Cui clan and the father and daughter of the heavy family. ”

Li speculated: "Maybe we are afraid that if we are caught, we will ask for blood to confess their relatives, and this can be used as circumstantial evidence to prove that they have other plans." It's just that I still can't figure out why they left that child in the first place, and now it's a burden to run away with the child, right? ”

After everyone met for a short exchange, the group walked towards the Wang family's old mansion again. Wang Jue planned to boil some soothing soup for Wang Li's family so that she could sleep well. The Lu family came quickly, and it happened that Wang Li had just finished drinking the medicine, and everyone withdrew from the room, leaving only the Lu family and Wang Liu to accompany her.

With the return of the masters and apprentices of the Hundred Schools of Thought, the process of today's court trial began to be spread by the servants of the Wang family who also went to the Yamen. At first, when they heard that the mastermind who framed Wang Xianbo had been found, the villagers and scholars in Nanshan all cheered and high-fived in celebration. Later, when I learned the news of Wang Baozhu's murder, the excitement of finding the framed person was gone.

Knowing that the Wang family must be in a bad mood, everyone was so considerate that they didn't come to bother. These people try to keep their voices as low as possible in whatever they do, and those who live close to them deliberately change into plain clothes.

The master and apprentice of the Mo family listened to Li talk about today's trial process in the mode of script, and when Li finished saying the last word and began to pick up the tea bowl and beef drink, the master and apprentice still felt unsatisfied. The Mo family is the main behind-the-scenes participant, but unfortunately, in order not to let people associate some things with them, no Mo family member went to the scene to watch the excitement.

On the day Nanshan was blocked, the Mo family did not wait and see but came to visit that night, which shows that the Mo family is worthy of being the most righteous school since ancient times. Our master and apprentice were all under the watchful eye for a few days, and if it weren't for Lang Jun's help, it would probably take a lot of effort to get things done. ”

Wang Jue did not have the reserve of the local literati of the Tang Dynasty at all, and praised and flattered the Mo family when he opened his mouth, but the Mo family master and apprentice also felt that what she said was the truth, and she did not show a shy expression like the disciples of the Hundred Schools.

Meng Xiang pretended to be humble and waved his hand, "It's easy to say, the alliance should take care of each other." Besides, we also have the techniques of the Hundred Schools, and the method you taught me to make old items is even better than the best techniques in existence. I'll make some antiques to sell in the future, so that I can save some money for my private house. ”

"Teacher!!" Mo Yun can't hear the word 'private' the most these days, he took the job privately without notifying anyone that day, and finally left a hundred taels of silver to do private things, and was taught a good lesson after the three elders of the Mo family knew about it.

Meng Xiang is accustomed to teasing Mo Yun, and if Mo Yun makes a fuss, it will be endless. Since seeing a live performance in Mojiabao, Wang Jue still remembers it vividly, in order to prevent them from staging a master-apprentice battle in his own home, Wang Jue hurriedly interjected to divert their attention.

"I also want to thank the old man who served in ink, if he wasn't willing to take out his treasures, I'm afraid it would still be a little difficult to use the letter as proof that the Cui family wanted to rebel. I have a new ink-making method, which can make the ink rich and greasy and shiny like lacquer after improving the tamping and gluing technology, and I have to ask Lang Jun to help me transfer this method to him. ”

Wang Jue took out three pieces of paper from a book on the case and handed them to Meng Xiang, and the other party did not politely refuse and happily put the paper in his sleeve. If it can really make good ink, its monetary income will inevitably be no less than Wang Jue's new paper trading. It is said to be for the elderly, but there is a rule of the Mo family that is selfless wealth, which is no different from giving it to the school.

This transaction is done well, that is, it is grateful and rich in monetary returns, although it is very unkind, but the Mo family master and apprentice are looking forward to this kind of thing twice.

Knowing that Wang Jue still had something to discuss with his disciples, the master and apprentice didn't stay long before finding an excuse to leave. When the two left, in addition to the benefits they had taken, they also brought a few carts of food. The Wang family can't eat meat because they have white things, and it just so happens that their master and apprentice haven't eaten enough roast duck, so let's take the initiative to help solve the trouble.

There were only 100 sect masters and apprentices left in the study, Wang Jue sat up straight and began to test the disciples, "What do you think will happen to the Cui family, how should the saint judge this case in order to be praised by the subjects?" ”

Wang Siyuan frowned and said: "There is a lot of evidence in this case, but it is difficult to judge, and it is difficult to investigate the uncle's death before the father and daughter of the heavy family are caught." Although Cui Xuan made a gaffe in the court, but the Boling Cui clan has produced too many talents, if they lead everything to Cui Xuan in a unified voice, others may be exempt from punishment. There are thousands of people in the Cui clan, and this is not counting slaves, and many people really don't know about it, and if they are sentenced to the crime of the whole clan, it may be considered too harsh. ”

Huang Wen continued: "Other families want the Cui family to defeat them so that they can take the throne, but this case is the first family rebellion case in Datang, and this case can be used as the basis for future punishment." None of those families can guarantee that such fools will appear in their own families in the future, so they will inevitably find reasons to persuade the Holy Lord to give a lenient sentence for the sake of the collective good. ”

Wu Zhao pouted and answered, "If that's the case, what should they do if they have hatred in their hearts and calculate us?" Teacher, find a way to kill them! ”

Everyone sweated violently when they heard this, and Senior Sister Meng said something that scared people to death every time she put on that cute little face, and they couldn't hold ...... anymore.

"It's not easy to get a light sentence, how can the people in Dengzhou suffer due to the damage to the embankment? If the sentence is light, the people of Dengzhou will inevitably come to complain. It is necessary not only to stabilize the large group of the family, but also to appease the people. It's not easy to make a decision in this matter, and the Holy One is going to be embarrassed. "Speaking of embarrassment for the saints, Li's tone is very gloating, who asked him to trap us, and the confiscated things have not been sent back yet.

Tang Lu's punishment for the crime of treason was the lightest in history, and Wang Jue wanted to know Li Chengqian's opinion on this matter, "Chengqian, if it were you, how would you sentence him?" ”

Knowing that the teacher was in the school to be a gentleman, Li Chengqian thought carefully and thoughtfully, "According to the "Tang Law", the ancestors and grandchildren should sit in a row without officials. However, the Cui family has too many people, how much should they sit together? Cui Zhizhang's lineage is the most mediocre talent in the Boling Cui clan, if you only sit on them together, wouldn't it be untied from the shackles of those side lines? ”

Cheng Chumo didn't like to analyze these things, but when he heard Li Chengqian's final conclusion, he immediately quit, "If it is judged according to the "Tang Law", it will help Cui's cut off rotten branches?" Why, teachers and brothers should think of a way! ”

This is why knowing that Cui Zhizhang's father and son died, those talented Cui side branches still watched coldly. If Cui Zhizhang gets rid of me, the position of the Boling Cui clan will be more stable. If Cui Zhizhang and his line are sentenced, the side branches will be demoted at most, but the people who have been pressing them can be removed. "In ancient times, the word of generation and filial piety was too oppressive, especially the family paid more attention to advancing and retreating together. Don't look at everyone's sympathy for those sidelines, if they resist on the surface, the result waiting for them will be a group attack, and the future will be lost.

After hearing Wang Jue's words, the disciples were all angry, and Fang Yiai jumped up angrily, "Whose law is so unreasonable?!" Such a big thing as a rebellion should be cut! ”

Li Chongyi pulled the sleeve of Fang's bereaved love and whispered: "At the beginning of the year, Fang Xiang and they jointly wrote the law that had just been changed. ”

"My dad?! He always said that I don't know how to learn, and when I come home, I will talk to him about the truth of this law! Everyone looked at Fang Xuanling's squinting eyes and pouting, and collectively mourned for Fang Xuanling, the second senior brother knows the law of fart, .......

When Wang Jia's was judged, he caught up with the law change, and when he was sentenced to Cui's to catch up with this kind of thing, he didn't know what luck. However, the saint and several ministers were lying down again, and they were also very wronged, who knew that as soon as the law was changed, something would happen to your family?

Seeing that although Wang Jue was angry, her face showed more disdain, and the disciples knew that she already had an idea in her heart. After several people exchanged glances, they all got up and said, "Please give the teacher advice." ”

"You say, 'Why should anyone sin and his relatives sit together?' Wang Jue did not answer their questions directly, but planned to analyze the thoughts of the superior step by step, and why the law was formulated in this way.

Wu Zhao replied, "I'm afraid that their descendants will take revenge." ”

Liu Dabao, who has never spoken, said: "I want everyone to think more when doing things, and don't affect their relatives because of their behavior." ”

Li Chengqian asked in a tangled manner, "However, the girl and the young child don't know what the elders do, isn't it pitiful to punish them together?" ”

The room was very quiet, and after Li Chengqian finished speaking, no one spoke again, and Wang Jue said, "What you said makes sense." Have you ever thought that except in disaster years, most of the rebels are powerful officials or nobles? Because of their noble status, their children were born superior without contribution. They have enjoyed the benefits brought by their parents, and what qualifications can they have to escape the disadvantages brought by their parents? ”

Seeing that everyone agreed after thinking about it, Wang Jue continued: "I have never taught you to alienate people from the family, do you know why? The teaching that the family has received since childhood is: take pride in the surname, put the family first in everything, and people with concerns and principles are best used. There are too few family patriarchs like Cui Zhizhang. On the other hand, those rebels are mostly poor families, local tyrants and reckless people, why? They have too few ties, some people want more once they are powerful, and some people are brave and brainless. ”

After Li Chengqian heard Wang Jue finish speaking, he knew that this was specially said to him, so that he should not exclude a group because of one thing, "The disciple knows, we will not be prejudiced against the family because of the Cui family." ”

After the instructions were finished, Wang Jue continued to turn back to the topic just now, "I just revised the law, if the Holy Lord doesn't follow the law, wouldn't it be changed every day?" If you follow the law, you may lose the hearts of the people. And then there are those who are in the same situation as the Cui family, and the side branches rebelled in order to frame their ancestors, which is also lively enough. ”

A light breeze blew into the room, and everyone felt cold all over, and the teacher's words were even colder. I don't want to feel it, but now they feel more and more pitiful to the saint.

To the point, "The best way is to only sit on the direct blood relatives of Cui Zhizhang's father and son, and all the other Boling Cuisheng clansmen will be dismissed, and their clan cannot be officials for ten generations." This is not only in accordance with the law, but also shows the charity of the saints, and it also prevents some people from being careful. For the family, it is a great damage for someone to be convicted, and it is a catastrophe to destroy the future of his family. ”

How many generations of people can not be officials? That's a good idea!

Cheng Chumo smiled evilly, counted with his fingers for a while and said: "I heard that the Turks can give birth to children at the age of eight, if this is counted, the Cui family will have to enter the court again in eighty years." ”

"Not only that, but they have lost their status, and naturally no good family will be willing to marry them. If you take some evil spirits like Dong Chu's to get started, maybe you will be tossed out in less than ten generations. When it comes to marrying, Zhou Qi can always think of a wonderful stepmother.

Huang Wen also said with a smile: "Even if it is five generations later, there will be more students from poor families at that time, and their status has long been replaced by other families, and it is too difficult to get ahead!" ”

Wang Siyuan looked at Li Chengqian and said: "My aunt is one step late in monitoring the Dong family, and I still don't know the whereabouts of the eldest son of the Dong family, so I am afraid that he will throw himself into the grassland or neighboring countries to provoke wars." These people in the Cui family have to be careful, and if they can't leave the territory of so-and-so, they can't leave the territory of so-and-so. ”

"Yes!"

Everyone tossed for a day, the matter had been resolved, the four who hadn't gone home for a few days said goodbye to Wang Jue and left, and the rest went back to the room to rest.

Wang Jue knelt in the study, staring at the candlelight in a daze. Wang Baozhu died too suddenly, although Wang Jue hadn't seen him a few times after returning to the Tang Dynasty, and he didn't have any family affection for him. But the memories of him in the original owner's mind were always flooding out, and his desperate expression after learning that Wang Jia's family had harmed him always jumped out.

What does the eldest brother mean by holding that piece of paper in his hand? Is the word 'one' written by him or someone else? Who is it and why is it harming him?
