The longitudinal horse ran back and forth between the county seat and the Chengguo Canal, and the fifth Lun's clothes were covered with dust raised by the horse's hooves, and the scarf was also crooked, and his cheeks were a little blue in the wind.

But the momentum was not weaker than that of his grandfather, and he strode over, first waved at the fifth tyrant, and said loudly: "Father, the child has returned from the county slaughterhouse!" ”

The fifth tyrant immediately understood, and also responded loudly: "What is the county magistrate looking for you?" ”

As soon as he heard this, the seventh clan, who was still shouting and asking the three families to go to the township to find a husband to judge the judge, stopped for the time being.

Fifth Lun only smiled and didn't say anything, he had already learned from the mouth of the clan that he had just passed, tidied up his clothes, and then glared at the seventh clan brother and said solemnly: "Seventh clan, don't you know what is wrong?" ”

The seventh leopard wiped the blood, pulled a few leaves and rolled them into the nostrils, which looked particularly funny, but this person did not remember the pain, and jumped up again, and he saw that the fifth Lun was not tall, so he said angrily: "The yellow mouth is not small, the adult's business, is it your child's business?" ”

"Coincidentally, I can really take care of it."

The fifth Lun took off the thing tied to his waist, and the eyes of the seventh brothers lit up: it seemed that the square seal was cut in half, which was rectangular, so it was called a half-through seal, which was held by a low-level official, and it was written with the words "Linqu filial piety".

"Just now, I was just recruited by the county to be the filial piety of Linqu Township!"

Everyone couldn't help but be stunned, but they weren't too surprised, after all, this is filial piety, not filial piety.

Filial piety is terrible, but it is to observe the right way to enter the county, and there is only one place in the county every year, which is much more difficult than entering the Taixue. Once recommended, you can directly enter the court as a Lang official without passing the examination. After a year or two in the capital, it was released, and the worst was 400 stone county lieutenants and county officials, and 600 stone county commanders were the most.

Filial piety is far behind, just an honorary title, and the virtuous person in the county is elected, as early as the time of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty in the previous dynasty. As the deputy of the three elders of the township, he has no rank, and he doesn't even pay a fixed salary. Yuan Chengshi, under the leadership of Prime Minister Kuang Heng, let filial piety "regain his body", that is, exempt from taxes and taxes, and have two or three pieces of cloth as a reward for the New Year's Festival, that's all.

Compared with the two, one is the pride of the sky and the other is a local education official, and the gap is too big.

But although filial piety has no real power, but indispensable, from the Han Dynasty to the new dynasty, for decades is to rule the country by virtue, Yu Sanlao, filial piety as the people's teachers, these people as moral models to publicize, calling on the people to learn from them.

What kind of brothers fight for property, husband and wife quarrel, father and son have a gap, these government officials are inconvenient to take care of what they don't want to manage, so the three elders and filial piety come forward to solve it, which can be regarded as a mediator in the Han Dynasty.

This is the errand arranged by the county Zai Xian Yu to the fifth Lun, which is just in response to the name of his pear and Xuebo.

Fifth Lun spoke stiffly: "Seventh Clan, there is only one way in front of you now!" ”

"Listen to the advice of me and my eldest father, this matter is private, and the two families have made a covenant to restore the water division of previous years."

"If you don't want to, you don't have to bother the villagers, I will take this matter to the county and sue the county court directly."

Seeing that the fifth Lun also moved out of the "backer", the surprise on the seventh Biao's face slowly disappeared, and he even wanted to laugh.

"This son is really young, and he thinks that he can give orders to me if he is a little filial piety, but I don't know how hard my relationship with the county is."

If there is no channel, where will the iron weapon in the hands of the Seventh Clan come from? How could he run rampant in the township for more than ten years without officials to trouble his family? If he didn't say hello to the county water official in advance, how could he dare to compete with the Sixth Clan for water?

Moreover, as the pavilion chief, the seventh biao often runs to the county seat, and has a few meals with the county magistrate. I rarely praise the bribes received from the Seventh Clan, but there are them every year!

So he only said: "Xiao Xiaoyi has a good idea, since you can't say it here, it's okay to go to the county temple!" ”

Fifth Lun sneered: "Seventh Biao, you have thought clearly, this matter must be litigated?" ”

"Sue and sue." Seventh Biao continued to hold on, in his opinion, it makes no difference whether this matter is in the township or in the county, isn't it that the power behind the family is greater, and the county governor tends to help whom? With the relationship of his family, plus the help of the first clan, he is not afraid at all. Fifth Lun moved out of the county, who to scare?

"Good, great good."

Fifth Lun glanced back and suddenly smiled.

"Actually, I've already entrusted the matter to the county governor, you might as well see what the county governor has to say first."

It was only at this time that Fifth Lun took out the piece of wooden tablet on his waist, and it was not covered with a half-through seal, but a bright red county magistrate's seal!

The seventh biao took the wooden tablet in a daze, and before he had time to read the words on it, he heard the sound of horses' hooves approaching, and the onlookers were separated.

It turned out that the fifth Lun came with the capital water official, but he deliberately whipped a few steps ahead, just to set up a trap for the seventh biao.

Fifth Lun immediately went over to the wicked man to sue first: "Dushui, I showed the seventh biao the county magistrate's Jane, but he was unwilling to obey the order, and threatened to go to the county to litigate." ”

"Bold!" When the Dushui official heard the word dispute, he was immediately furious, and pointed to the seventh biao and said: "The seventh pavilion chief, do you want to disobey the order of the county monarch?" ”

The seventh biao pinched the Jane in his hand, and was directly stupid, only stammering and explaining: "Dushui, he ...... The fifth boyu just gave me this thing, and I haven't had time to ...... it yet."

"Shut up!" Dushui Guan didn't have the patience to listen, and he was even more afraid that the seventh biao would say too many mistakes, so he would tell the dirt between them, and immediately repeated the order of the county magistrate.

"The Seventh Clan and the Sixth Clan immediately stop fighting for water and restore the Old Testament of the previous year!"

The seventh biao was shocked: "The superior can't listen to this little man's words, I want to see the county king, I want to explain to him......"

"The county gentleman really wants to see you." The Dushui official shouted: "The seventh biao and the sixth calf, you and the two of you immediately go to the county town to apologize to the county governor for today's incident!" And made an oath that he would not dare to fight again until the end of his life! ”

The sixth calf was still in a daze, and was trampled on by the fifth tyrant, so he reacted and happily agreed.

Although I don't understand why my family is obviously reasonable, but we have to go to the county to apologize together, but the process doesn't matter, the result is the most important. It's a good thing that the Seventh Clan can no longer compete with their own family for water.

Seeing that the seventh biao was still staying, Du Shuiguan could only glance at him: "What are you still doing?" A moment later, your Pavilion Chief's Seal will be gone! ”

The seventh biao could only grit his teeth, bowed his head to the capital water official, and responded: "No! ”

……

After the Dushui official left with the seventh and sixth family heads, this snail horn battle finally ended.

The fifth tyrant beckoned the fifth Lun to come over, first glanced at his half-pass seal, which was indeed true, and asked in a low voice: "Lun'er, how did you make the county chief one-sided?" ”

Ask yourself, although he and the father of the county governor are old, who in the county has no friendship with the county? Why is it on their side today, it can't be the appreciation of the Fifth Lun.

Fifth Lun said: "Father, I just described the ordinary two-mile water fight as a brotherly clan fight, and exaggerated that it was going to kill people. ”

The fifth tyrant has also been a township official, and if you think about it carefully, you can understand the reason, and laughed: "It is worthy of being my grandson, and he is really smart." ”

In this era, the harmony and intimacy of clan brothers is the virtue of filial piety and is commendable, so what is the brotherly rivalry?

Shame! Not only the family's, but also the magistrate's.

The fifth tyrant remembers one thing - during the reign of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty in the previous dynasty, Han Yanshou served as Zuo Fengyi, and his jurisdiction was the current lieutenant and division lieutenant two counties. When Han Yanshou was in the county, he met two brothers who were suing for land. Han Yanshou thought that the reason why this kind of brotherly competition for wealth happened was because he failed to educate the people well, so he put down government affairs and thought about it behind closed doors.

The monarch humiliated the ministers, which made the governors, husbands, three elders, and filial piety of the whole county feel guilty and guilty themselves. The brothers who fought the lawsuit were also forced by the clan to express that they realized their mistakes, felt deep remorse, apologized to Han Yanshou, and were willing to give the land to the other party, and did not dare to fight again.

This incident was rumored to be a good story, and it also made a bad start - it was set as a benchmark by the imperial court.

After the establishment of the new dynasty, the world was governed according to the moral standards of Confucianism, and the strife between relatives was regarded as a sign of education and corruption.

This is also the reason why the two positions of the three elders and filial piety must exist, once there is a hint of a dispute between relatives, immediately send someone to persuade them, and they must not go to court. If you don't persuade to make a big fuss, then the county magistrate, the husband, and the three elders will be miserable, and they will either blame themselves or be punished by their superiors.

Wu Lun is good at observation and learning, and he has gradually figured out the preferences and rules of conduct of people in this era: what laws and principles are all set aside, and everything is based on morality!

If everything can be wrapped in a layer of skin that conforms to Confucian benevolence, then there is no disadvantage.

Sure enough, when he described this incident as a clan brother fighting for water, the county Zai Xian Yu Bao suddenly turned black.

No matter how much benefit the Seventh Clan took in the past, once it affected the county magistrate's Shi Jin, no matter how close the relationship was, it was not easy to speak, so he immediately sent someone to order the Seventh Clan to stop fighting for water.

Fifth Lun only shook his head: "There is only one place I don't understand, the seventh Biao is a fighting eater, he should know some laws and regulations, why didn't he think of this?" ”

"He really didn't expect it." The fifth tyrant knew the two brothers better than him: "People are different from each other, the seventh clan is not happy to study, and they are brave and fierce for the officials, and they are not good at learning the law, and they don't know the history of the county." In addition, he has long not regarded the Sixth Clan as a relative and bullied him wantonly, which has violated this taboo. ”

At this time, they saw a few people wading from the south of the Chengguo Canal, but they were the father and son of the Eighth Clan. These two have been watching the play for an afternoon, and they have the taste of watching on the wall, what are they doing now?

The ancestors and grandsons glanced at each other, and the fifth tyrant pursed his lips, and shouted from afar: "Eighth straight, you are finally here, the old man still wonders why he is missing, it turns out that it took a few hours to cross the ditch?" The water has risen, a good thing! ”

The Eighth Straight was a little embarrassed, while the Eighth Jiao bowed to the Fifth Lun, curious about how he managed to repel the Seventh Brother.

The fifth Lun only showed the seal of filial piety, and said with a smile: "Without him, convince people with virtue!" ”

The eighth Jiao believed it to be true, and admired the fifth Lun even more: "Zi said, the virtue of the gentleman, the virtue of the villain, and the wind on the grass will die." The gentleman here is talking about Boyu. ”

The eighth straight had no choice but to praise idealistically: "However, Boyu can be described as the wind on the grass in the hometown." ”

What grass is on the wind, I still fly on the grass!

The icing on the cake technique of the eighth straight is really good, and he reminded the fifth Lun very intimately: "Since Boyu has become a township official, although he has no rank and no rank, no matter what, he should go to the township tomorrow to report and meet with the husband and the three elders." ”

The eighth straight is implying that Hongo's husband and the head of the first clan have always been narrow-minded, and the fifth clan has been so high-profile recently, and he also beat the seventh brother of the vicious dog raised by the husband. After all, if you do filial piety, you will become a subordinate of the countryman in the future, and be careful that his family stumbles on the fifth lun.

Fifth Lun didn't think so, the matter was over, and the fifth tyrant beckoned the people of the Lizhong tribe to go back, but he said that there was still something to do, and he was not going to the countryside in the east, but to the county seat in the north.

The fifth tyrant was puzzled: "Do you want to go to the county seat?" What to do? ”

The small half-pass seal was used as a toy by the fifth lun, and it flicked at his fingertips: "What else can you do?" Naturally, he returned this small seal to the county slaughter, and then ......"

Fifth Lun laughed happily: "Resign!" ”
