Chapter 433: Torture (II)

The above two kinds of punishment almost pushed the punishment of mankind to a new level, but the wisdom of later generations should not be underestimated, so various punishments emerged one after another. I have made a rough count, and there are no less than 100 kinds of punishments described in the "Collection of Curiosities" alone. At the end of the article on criminal art, I saw a sentiment from Jiang Yuqin's predecessors.

She said that although the harsh punishment law can make people fearful, but the same abuse of punishment may also arouse public anger and make people indignant, and the Kui clan needs to remember that they must not abuse their natural power, and our clan needs to be punished according to the law of their own clan, and they must not exceed the system.

The law of the clan?! When I saw these words, I was actually interested, and it was already dawn at this time. I didn't care about it so much, so I ran out with red eyes and went straight to the secret room of the ancestral tomb.

In the secret room of the ancestral tomb, Sister Wang Na was counting the number of ancient books, and she was startled when she saw me coming.

"Yin Yin, why did you come here so early, why are your eyes red, didn't you sleep well yesterday? By the way, you are not suitable to get out of bed now, your body is too depleted, and you should still stay in bed to recuperate. "Sister Wang Na counted me like a cannon.

"Sister Wang Na, how is your inventory?" I asked.

"This is just the beginning, the number of books here is really huge, not to mention, there are hundreds of these shelves alone, not to mention the books on the shelves, I roughly calculated, there are always tens of thousands. All the books were preserved, so they were relatively well preserved, apparently because they were known to be used only for collection purposes in the future. That's why it's done like this. Sister Wang Na said.

"How's the sorting going?" I asked.

"These books are indeed divided into three main categories according to what you said, but the strange thing is that there seem to be other ways to classify these books."

"Other ways to classify it?" I asked.

"That's right, all of these books have a label with the time on them, and the time on these labels, I guess, records the date the book was stored here." Sister Wang Na said.

"I see." I picked up a book on the shelf, the book was very thick, heavy in my hand, and covered with a layer of oiled paper, which is the oldest and most practical anti-corrosion and moth-proofing technology. But apparently these oiled papers are also very particular. Ordinary oiled paper is a type of processed paper. Use tougher base paper. Coated with tung oil or other dry oil. It has folding resistance and waterproof performance. It is used for making umbrellas, pasting windows or various waterproof and moisture-proof packaging. The environment in the ancestral tomb is humid, and the use of oiled paper is the best choice, but in addition to the dampness, there is a big problem. It's moth-eaten. So when the ancestors of the Kui clan were making this kind of oiled paper. Some camphor incense was specially added to avoid insect damage, so these ancient books can be preserved to the present.

"That's right, Yin Yin. What are you doing here? Sister Wang Na asked.

"That's right, I want to find a book, but I don't have any idea, I just want to find a book about our family law, but I don't know what this book is called, where to buy it, whether it's thick or thin." I said, originally I thought that Sister Wang Na would think that my idea was simply fanciful and nonsense, but who knew that she actually nodded.

"I see, I'll help you find it, so what is this book about?" Sister Wang Na asked.

"About our family, family law, genealogy, it's all possible." I say.

So Sister Wang Na and I began to practice, but we have been looking for more than an hour and there is no progress, the main problem is. That's just too much work.

Sister Wang Na and I sat down against the wall to rest, and she asked me, "Why do you suddenly want to find a genealogy?" ”

"I've always ignored this question, this fundamental question, the question of why we are here, is it because your uncle called us here? Is my grandmother here to remove the identity of the Kui clan? No, we are here to recognize our ancestors and return to our ancestors. So many things have happened these days, so much so that I have forgotten my original intention, at the beginning, I wanted to help my grandmother find out the secrets of the Kui clan, the origin of the Kui clan, and the mission of the Kui clan, but now I came to this mansion, but not because of these things, I feel like this mansion in the dark let me come. It will guide me, because this is my root, and I have come back to confess my ancestors. Although my grandmother is no longer obsessed with these mundane things, I have become accustomed to it, and I regard her wish as my wish. I don't have any wishes, maybe from now on, the matter of guarding the ancestral business of the Kui family will be entrusted to me. I said.

"I know you have a heavy burden, but I'm not in a hurry at this time, you still have a headache now, you must not have rested well, hurry back, right?" Sister Wang Na said.

"No, I'm very energetic now, and I'm so sleepy that time has passed, but now I'm not sleepy." I say.

"By the way, your grandma said that she was going to pack up and leave today, and your cousin's little ginger also went back with him, do you want to send it off?" Sister Wang Na asked, she asked very carefully, I know that he is still a little afraid of the matter between me and my grandmother.

"Of course they're going to send it off, what time do they leave?" I asked.

"There's still an hour left." Sister Wang Na said.

"Let's go up first, I'll go see my grandma." I turned around and walked out, thinking to myself that even if I wanted to find a family tree, I wouldn't be in a hurry.

In the courtyard of the mansion, grandma was already sitting there, she was wearing a white satin cheongsam today, very energetic. Uncle Gui was busy packing up his things, and when he saw me coming out, he was stunned for a moment, and then said with a slight smile, "Young master, are you here?" He asked.

"I heard that grandma is leaving, so I'm here to send it off." I say.

"Yes, yes, yes, yes..." Uncle Gui's words were a little perfunctory, his eyes flashed, as if he had something to say, but he looked like he wanted to say something, I didn't pay attention to him, and walked straight towards my grandmother.

"Grandma, have you packed up your things?" I asked.

"Don't worry, there is nothing either, but I have lived here for the past few days, and I feel quite satisfied with the few things I use, so I plan to bring them back together. I bought a house on the outskirts of Shanghai, which is very good, and it is very suitable for retirement. "Grandma said, I just listened quietly, I never thought before, one day grandma would say that she wants to support the elderly, she will always be so capable. No matter what problems have gone wrong between us, no matter what she has done, no matter what her starting point is, she is my grandmother, the person I used to admire the most, and the famous Kui mother-in-law in the rivers and lakes.

"Grandma, did you really decide to go?" I asked.

"It's decided, or else? What else? I always feel uncomfortable when I stay here, I don't belong here, but Yinyin, you are different, you were born for this Jiang family mansion, you are very suitable here, don't miss me, everything must look forward, it is difficult for people who are involved in missing to achieve great things. Grandma said.

"Got it, grandma, I remember. I'll be back to see you often. I said.

"You don't have to look at it, just come in and sit when you pass by, your grandma and I have always been a person who doesn't miss the old love, so I'll tell you, but there is still one less love word to hang on the side, otherwise the pain will naturally be behind." Grandma said.

"I know, grandma." I say.

"Forget it, it's okay, you're just a child, and besides, you're a person who values affection, and it's just perfunctory for you to promise me now. Forget it, I don't care about you young people. Grandma said and stood up. Agui, okay, no, why is it so slow? ”

"Okay, okay, let's come..."Uncle Gui came over with his luggage, Xiao Jiang followed behind him, I looked at Xiao Jiang, her face was not very good, I am afraid she did not sleep well. She nodded when she saw me, then took the luggage from your uncle's hand and walked towards the car outside the door.

"Agui, it's up to you in the future." Grandma said sometimes outside the door.

"Don't worry." Uncle Gui agreed.

After seeing my grandmother get into the car, I returned to the yard, and my uncle began to clean the yard again. "Uncle, don't be busy, there's something I want to ask you." I say.

"Young master, what are your orders?" Uncle Gui said respectfully.

"Uncle Gui, you and I don't have to be so polite, I have something I want to ask you." I say.

"You say?"

"Do you know where our Kui family's genealogy and family rules and family laws are?" I asked.

"You're stumped me, I've been in the Kui family for so long, and I've never seen any genealogy, nor have I seen the family rules and regulations of the Kui family." Uncle Gui said.

"You haven't even seen it?" I asked.

"I've never seen it, in the Kui family because of the meticulous management, clear hierarchy, there are few people who violate the family rules, once someone violates the family rules, then it is also the heir of the family to judge, so I have never seen such a thing as family rules and family law." Uncle Gui's tone was very sincere.

"I recently got the other half of the curiosities, which says that the Kui clan does not approve of the use of harsh criminal laws, but instead uses their own family rules." I said, "I've always wanted to know the responsibilities of the Kui clan, but to no avail, so I thought it might be useful for me to find the genealogy of the Kui clan." I said.

"It's true that I haven't seen it, but it's possible that there is one person she knows." Uncle Gui said.

"You're talking about Jiang Yurou?" I asked.

"That's right, you haven't been to see her since you came out of the tomb, and I hope that she will get the answer she wants at the end, young master, even if I beg you, you go and see him and tell her what he wants to know."

"Also, I promised him before that I would bring him the answers she wanted to know, although she has no faith at all, but I am not the same person as her, don't worry, uncle, I'll go see her later." I said, "And." I still have something to ask her. I said (to be continued.) )
