Wei Yan hurriedly walked into the courtyard and saw a middle-aged woman lying on top of a female corpse. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The dead woman was fifteen or sixteen years old, handsome, but her eyes were wide open, and there seemed to be endless horror and resentment in her eyes.

Wei Yan is no stranger to the scene in front of him, in the villages looted by the Yellow Turban Army or Zhang Xiuxi's Liang Army, there are many women who die with hatred like this.

But this is Yiyang New Town, there is no Yellow Turban Army here, and there is no Xiliang Army, only Wei Yan's Yiyang Army.

Wei Yan had a gloomy face and asked Li Yan, "Zhengfang, what happened?" ”

After Li Yan's description, Wei Yan understood the reason for the incident.

Because of the shortage of food, Yiyang New Town was originally forbidden to drink, last night was Wei Yan's wedding day, there was no ban on alcohol that night, many soldiers drank high, but because of strict military discipline, most of them returned to the barracks and slept peacefully, while Wei Zhan took a few personal soldiers and walked around the street, just met the girl.

The girl was pretty, because the weather was very hot, the girl was dressed coolly, and her slender figure attracted Wei Zhan and several people to be furious, dragged the girl into the house, and took turns to get up.

The girl's mother rushed home, and when she saw that scene, she cried and drove away, and Wei Zhan and the others dispersed in a hurry.

The girl's mother not only did not comfort the girl, but also blamed her for being a showman, and the child hanged herself if she couldn't think about it.

Wei Yan's face became more and more pale, after the arrival of the full favor, in order to win the recognition of the full favor, and in order to rectify the military discipline, Wei Yan reiterated the military discipline, among which the ** woman is the death penalty, but I didn't expect that within a few days of the reiteration of military discipline, Wei Zhan and others committed it.

He immediately ordered: "Arrest Wei Zhan here, and those who resist arrest will be killed!" ”

Wen Yang, the commander of the pro-soldiers, led the troops to capture Wei Zhan.

Guan Hai persuaded: "Lord, Wei Zhan is your cousin and your relative, you can't really kill him, it's better to beat him with a few sticks and give the woman a little money and food, just forget it." ”

At this time, the white-robed man looked at Wei Yan with a cold expression, he had already made up his mind that if Wei Yan shielded his cousin and ignored the military discipline law, then he would never work for Wei Yan again.

Wei Yan's face sank: "If we don't govern the army strictly, be kind and love the people, what is the difference between us and the Yellow Turban Army and the Xiliang Army, why do we call ourselves soldiers, now we not only want to punish the black sheep, but also show the people of Li that our Yiyang Army is an upright and righteous army." Today's events, non-killing can't save the hearts of the people! ”

Guan Hai saw that Wei Yan had made up his mind, and he didn't dare to persuade him again.

After a while, Wen Yang sent someone to report: "Lord, Wei Zhan's father, Wei Shun, protects his son and prevents us from arresting him. ”

Wei Yan was furious: "He dares!" ”

Li Yan said bitterly on the side: "Lord, Wei Shun completed the ceremony on behalf of Ling Zun at your wedding yesterday, and the soldiers did not dare to offend, only if the lord goes, it is good." ”

Wei Yan rode his horse to Wei Shun's house.

When he arrived at Wei Shun's house, Wei Shun, who had a gray beard, held a steel knife in his hand, stood across the door, and shouted: "Whoever wants to arrest my son, I will kill him!" Don't forget, I'm your lord's uncle! Didn't my son just play with a folk girl, what's the big deal, as for catching and asking for guilt? ”

When Wei Yan saw this scene, he couldn't help but shake his head, the upper beam was not right and the lower beam was crooked, the reason why Wei Zhan was lawless was because of this Wei Shun's influence.

Wei Shun saw Wei Yan coming, and shouted loudly: "Xiao Yan, you came just in time, I don't understand, Yiyang is our Wei family, the money and food women here are all from our Wei family, can you marry a wife, can't my son play with women, that woman can't think about it herself, hanged herself, is it my son's fault?" You hurry up and let them retreat, and block my door to what kind of system! ”

Wei Yan looked at this old man coldly, he had the impression that this old man was a very knowledgeable person, how could he become so arrogant and lawless now? He thought he was my dad at the wedding, so he was really my dad?

He turned his head and was about to ask Li Yan how he could solve this matter in accordance with the law without violating filial piety.

Yes, Wei Yan is very entangled, because the Eastern Han Dynasty governs the country with filial piety, filial piety is greater than the law, and the recruitment of talents is filial piety, the kind of filial piety to parents through self-abuse is compiled into the Book of Filial Piety (half of the twenty-four filial piety are self-harming foolishness, many of which occur in the Eastern Han Dynasty), and it is transmitted as a classic, and people in this era have gone crazy in the pursuit of filial piety, if Wei Yan has any disrespect and disobedience to Wei Shun, the public opinion of those families in this era will charge Wei Yan with unfilial piety, although Wei Shun is only an uncle, only acting as a father at the wedding.

Wei Yan suddenly saw that Li Yan's gaze at Wei Shun was full of disgust and hatred.

His heart moved, as the commander of Yiyang County, Li Yan should know a lot of Wei Shun's bad deeds, so he asked in a low voice: "Zhengfang, is this person in the fish and meat township, rampant and lawless?" ”

Li Yan was taken aback, he had always been afraid that this was Wei Yan's uncle, and he had never reported Wei Shun's bad deeds to Wei Yan, but he didn't expect Wei Yan to know.

He had no choice but to tell some of Wei Shun's bad deeds, forcibly occupying good land, shops, and people's daughters, instructing his family to kill and injure innocent people, his family's mansion was even bigger than Wei Yan's Pingnan General's Mansion, most of them were grabbing the houses next to them, and their bad deeds were worse than his son's, which was simply outrageous!

Wei Yan sighed deeply, he was out to fight in the east and west, bent on overthrowing the powerful rule of the family, but he didn't expect that his family would become a local tyrant, no wonder he felt that the people were not as supportive of him as before recently, all of them were harmed by these evil relatives!

It's just that if Wei Yan arrests Wei Shun now, the major families and princes will definitely give Wei Yan a big hat of unfilial piety, in the crazy and stupid perverted society of the Eastern Han Dynasty, unfilial piety is more terrible than disloyalty and injustice, and then it will become notorious, more prohibitive than Cao Cao's slaughter of the city, not only the family rejects him, but the people of Li reject him.

But if the foolish filial piety, filial piety, and Wei Shun's intentions are released, then not only will he be disappointed, Li Yan will be disappointed, all the people will be disappointed, and the endless stream of displaced people will be discouraged, and those who have already come may still leave, and the Wei family will be even more lawless in the future! The country that has been beaten down in this way may not last as long as Cao Wei's country!

What to do?

Wei Yan was in a great state of confusion and anxiety.

Filial piety and law, how to choose?

It's easy to do in modern society, and the righteous killing of relatives can win a good reputation, but in this Eastern Han Dynasty, the righteous killing of relatives was spurned by the whole society, in this perverted Eastern Han Dynasty, even if your elders are a rat shit, you have to hold it respectfully!

The generals were all helpless, after all, it was a matter of filial piety and the law, and they could not be involved.

But now, there is still someone who stands up and shares the worries of the Lord.
