Chapter 897: If you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself (medium)
There is a way that good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, this overnight work, the head of the Lu family, Lu Tang, was taken by the prefect's yamen, and the saying that he was going to be convicted of a serious crime spread quickly in Suzhou City.
At the beginning, everyone was still skeptical about this statement, after all, the Lu family has been able to act so unscrupulously and arbitrarily over the years, just because the government didn't dare to take care of it, why did their attitude change so dramatically this time? Could there be any hidden secrets in this, and is it a mistake?
But after the prefect's yamen officially posted relevant notices outside, announcing that the people of the city would be publicly tried for Lu Tang and other Lu family members' forcible invasion of private houses, as well as various crimes of impersonation, everyone believed that things had indeed changed. You must know that according to the unspoken rules at this time, if the case can be settled, it is impossible to bring it to the public for trial, and once the government decides to try the case publicly, it means that the defendant's crime is completely settled.
As a result, many people in the city who had a deep grudge against the Lu family were excited when they heard the news, and they rushed to tell each other that the day was finally going to be clear, and the Lu family, who had been in trouble for a long time, finally had to pay the corresponding price for what they had done.
After their spread, the news was transmitted more and more quickly, but in half a day, not only the people in the city knew that the Lu family was about to suffer, but even many people outside the city also knew that there was such a thing, including the people in Lujiagou, not far from Suzhou City.
Although Lu Tang led many people from the clan into the city to develop, and he did make a lot of gains, there were still some Lu clan people who stayed in the village, including Lu Rengui, the patriarch who is now known as Taigong, that is, Lu Tang's father. When he learned that his son and others were taken down by the prefect's yamen for no reason and were about to be punished, he was over sixty years old, and he was immediately furious: "That Xiao Wentong is really bold, he dares to ask the people of my Lu family to blame, I think he is also the prefect!" ”
However, he couldn't say much about his arrogant words, and then some people told him what happened in the government yesterday. When he heard that it was Lu Zhen who personally came forward to identify the various crimes of the Lu family, Lu Rengui was completely stunned. It was only at this time that he remembered that the backer he thought was actually a lie, just because he had said so much over the years that not only outsiders believed it, but even he himself believed it.
And now, the lie has been ruthlessly punctured by Lu Jin, which has a considerable impact on Lu Rengui and the Lu family, and he has not been able to recover from the shock for a long time. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Then where is Lu Zhen now, the old man will go to see him." I want to ask him if he wants to ignore the criticism of the people in the world and completely cut off all ties with my Lu family! ”
In fact, Lu Rengui didn't have much confidence in his heart when he said these words, but he knew better that the survival of the family at this time was only in a thought, and even if things were difficult to do, he, the patriarch, would have to come forward. When the head of a clan is usually majestic, the children of the clan have to obey his wishes, but if something really happens, his responsibility is quite large, and there is no escape.
So, in the afternoon of this day, Lu Rengui, who inquired about Lu Jin's still in the Chu family, rushed over in a small sedan chair, accompanied by many children of the clan, in order to persuade Lu Jin to let him retract all kinds of accusations against the Lu family.
Lu Rengui thought that with his identity as Lu Jin's elder, as long as he rushed away, the other party would always give himself an explanation, at least he had to apologize and say a few good words. But as a result, when they came to the door of the Chu family, they were indeed faced with five or six brocade guards who had been guarding there for a long time, and these people did not let the Lu family and the others approach the gate of the Chu family at all.
Lu Zhen had already guessed that after the matter reached this point, the rest of the Lu family would make trouble again, so he made arrangements early in the morning to let his subordinates block their way, and he didn't even plan to meet them.
Listening to those men with straight faces, he said stiffly: "My family governor has made it very clear, he has nothing to do with the Lu clan a few years ago, let alone see you!" After that, Lu Rengui was so angry that he almost fell headlong.
I saw him on crutches, snorting and panting for a long time before he shouted in a trembling voice: "Is he really lawless to such a point? How come my Lu family has such a kingless and fatherless brute...... Old man, old man, just want to see him, which of you dares to stop me! Despair and anger suddenly filled the old man's chest, so that he could not care about anything else, even the brocade guard in front of him was not taken into his eyes, but only strode in, although the steps were a little faltering, but very firm.
Faced with his move, everyone had a headache. In fact, if you really talk about it, let alone an old man, even if there is an army of 100 people, they can stop it. But this old man who will fall down at a touch makes people don't know how to stop it, maybe when he touches this, this old man will fall down with a bang, and it is possible to die. Although at this time, it is different from the later generations, and there is still the saying of slander, but after all, the other party has a lot of relationship with their own governor, and they really dare not let Lu Rengui have an accident.
In this way, Lu Rengui moved forward step by step, and everyone slowly retreated, and actually let him break into the gate of the Chu family, and he was about to enter the house.
At this moment, a person had flashed out from behind the wall, and it was Lu Zhen who heard the news. Seeing Lu Rengui actually breaking in as if no one was around, his face suddenly sank: "Lu Rengui, you are so bold, you dare to trespass on other people's doors?" Could it be that the people of your Lu family are all so disregarding the law and discipline? ”
Hearing this reprimand, Lu Rengui squinted his eyes and looked at the appearance of the person carefully, and after a while, he recognized Lu Jinlai with dizzy eyes: "Lu Jin, Lu Xiaoqi, you are so bold." I'm your uncle, and you dare to call me by my name, and you still hide from me, do you still have a little bit of dignity and humility? ”
"I said it a long time ago, I, Lu Jin, have nothing to do with your Lu family. Lu Rengui, don't rely on the old and sell the old in front of me. Lu Zhen replied mercilessly: "You quickly withdraw now, I can not be held accountable, otherwise, even you will have to be taken to the yamen for punishment!" ”
"...... you" The old man was so angry that his body trembled for a while, and he pointed his finger to Lu Jin, but he couldn't speak for a long time. In the end, he said: "Do you really want to be a rebel animal who has no king and no father and turns his back on the family?" Don't regret it, when you die, you won't be able to enter the ancestral tomb of my Lu family, even your parents who have long since died, and the patriarch of the old man also has the right to remove them from the clan and expel them from the ancestral grave! ”
This is Chi Guoguo's threat, and the words have been said extremely seriously, which makes the faces of everyone present, including Chu Xiangyu, who was driven out, change their faces greatly. Because this is the most severe punishment for people in this era.
At this time, the most important thing for people is to return to the roots, that is, the clan. Once the name of the human family is removed, it will become a rootless ping, a real outlier and a loner. As for the removal of the deceased from the clan, or even from the ancestral grave, it is even more serious, and that is the greatest insult.
Hearing that Lu Rengui was going to treat his own governor's parents like this, the brocade guards were immediately furious, and a few of them had already drawn their weapons directly. As long as Lu Zhen gives an order, they will not hesitate to pounce on it and split the body of this unscrupulous old thing on the spot.
Surprisingly, Lu Jin, as the person concerned, seemed very calm at this time, and everyone couldn't see a trace of anger or horror on his face. Everyone didn't know that this Lu Zhen was originally a traverser, and his clan concept at this time was very weak. Moreover, he just took the name of the original Lu Jin, and naturally he didn't mind that he was not in the Lu clan genealogy. As for the fact that Lu Jin's parents will be forced to move out of the ancestral grave, it may seem like a great event for people at this time, but it still does not have much impact on him.
So under the surprised gaze of everyone, he just said lightly: "Is it just that? Then I will tell you clearly, I, Lu Jin, don't bother to be a member of your Lu family at all, and it would be best for the clan to remove the name. As for the tombs of my late parents, I will let people move them from your Lu family's ancestral graves, and I will not take advantage of you. Others can open a sect, but I can do the same!
"Now, I, Lu Jin, clearly tell you that I have nothing to do with your Lu family! And what you have done in this Suzhou under my name, I will definitely investigate to the end! I don't believe it, there is no justice in this world! ”
As soon as these words came out, the people around him were in an uproar, no one expected that Lu Zhen would be so resolute, not hesitating to cut off relations with the entire clan, not hesitating to alarm the souls of his parents who had already fallen into the ground, and also condemning the Lu family.
After a while, there was a burst of cheers outside: "Lord Lu is really a righteous and rare good official, in the past, it was Xiaomin and others who misunderstood you......"
"Lord Lu is good, then the Lu family is indeed not worthy of a descendant like you......"
The people who gathered outside when they heard the news admired Lu Jina at this time, and the praise was endless for a while. And every praise was like a whip on Lu Rengui's face, making his face blue and red, frightened, angry, ashamed, and desperate...... All kinds of emotions instantly filled out of his heart, so that the old man could no longer support it, and with a wow, he spurted out blood, pointed at Lu Zhen with his hand, but he couldn't say anything, and then fell on his back.
And Lu Jin, who saw this scene, just watched coldly, watched the old man fall to the ground, and waved his sleeves: "Drag him out for me, don't pollute my father-in-law's house!" ”
