582. You talk about folk customs, I talk about law
And this time, the Cui family couldn't stand it at all, and Cui Fu, the representative of the Cui family in Chang'an, also fainted. And the Cui family immediately notified the Lu family's representative in Chang'an and let the Lu family solve it themselves. Anyway, this time there is also the Lu family's own affairs, who asked Cui Ying to prepare to be engaged to the head of the Lu family? Therefore, this matter also has the Lu family's affairs, the Cui family was repelled by Jingwen's shamelessness, so it should be the Lu family's turn to appear. And the representative of the Lu family in Chang'an also had a headache, obviously very speechless about this situation.
"Elder, we shouldn't be afraid of Jingwen's bastard, right? Our head of the family has already exchanged the eight characters of his birthday with the Cui family, strictly speaking, according to the rules, he is already engaged! Someone next to him said.
And after hearing this, the representative elder of the Lu family in Chang'an sighed and said, "I hope so!" We just exchanged the eight characters of the birthday, and we didn't really get it back to the Lu family. Now it's just right, it's not impossible to sue Jingwen. ”
Soon, Chang'an Shaoyin received a petition complaining that Jing Wen, a regular attendant of the Lu family, had kidnapped the wife of the future head of the Lu family, so he asked Jing Wen to hand him over. And Chang'an Shaoyin also has a headache, this is a fairy fight, and it hurts himself! Shaoyin of Chang'an City is also a high-ranking official, of course, he knows that this is probably the fighting spirit of the emperor and the scholars, so he introduced Jingwen as a pawn. If he ordered Jingwen to hand over Cui Ying, would he offend the emperor? I'm afraid it's still there! With the emperor on one side and the scholars on the other, this is really difficult!
However, according to the legal process, Chang'an Shaoyin immediately entrusted the magistrate and called Jingwen over.
"Lord Jingwen, the Lu family sued you for robbing their family master's wife. Is it true? The magistrate asked.
And Jingwen ignored the pusher, and turned his head to look at the spokesperson of the Lu family in Chang'an.
"Who is this gentleman?" Jingwen asked.
"My name is Lu Yu. is the spokesperson of the Lu family in Chang'an! Lu Yu said.
"Oh? It turned out to be Mr. Perch, and I like to eat perch the most. But love sea bass is beautiful! Jingwen said.
There was a black line in Lu Yu's mind, and Jingwen actually teased him with his name. Usually, although some people also use his name to ridicule him as a sea bass, but it is a well-intentioned joke in the family, and no one will take it seriously. But this time it came out of Jingwen's mouth, why was it so weird?
"Don't talk nonsense, on behalf of our Lu family, I will ask you to hand over our family master's wife!" Lu Yu said.
Jingwen immediately said, "Wait and wait, why do you want me to hand over Miss Cui?" Let's not talk about whether we kidnapped Miss Cui or not, let's just say that you are not qualified to avenge Miss Cui! ”
"Why aren't we qualified? The head of our Lu family has already exchanged the eight characters of his birthday with the Cui family. Prepare to make a marriage letter and choose a day to get married. But you actually kidnapped our future head of the house, so why are we not qualified? Lu Yu asked.
But Jingwen then said, "Haven't you yet made a marriage certificate? According to the rules of my Datang, if you don't go to the government to make a marriage certificate, it will be invalid! The government has the right not to admit it, so how can you still use this to avenge Miss Cui? So, since the Lu family is not qualified to speak for Miss Cui, why should they interrogate me? ”
Jingwen is taking advantage of the so-called legal loopholes of the Tang Dynasty, according to the rules of the Tang Dynasty. If you don't go to the government to make an official marriage certificate, then the marriage is actually illegal, which is actually the ancient marriage registration. Because of the Tang Dynasty's equalization system, each population had the right to grant land. So this marriage registration is very important to be able to determine the population. Although the land is granted, it does not mean that anyone can get it! If it is an illegitimate child. Nor can it be obtained by people of unknown origin. And this ancient marriage registration also represents the identity, representing that the children born are legitimate children.
Of course. Although those big families didn't care about these fields, this was indeed a problem in the laws of the Tang Dynasty. Jingwen also grasped this problem. In turn, the marriage contract between the Lu family and the Cui family was illegalized, so that the marriage contract between the Lu family and the Cui family was theoretically useless.
"According to traditional folk customs, as long as the eight characters are exchanged, it can be regarded as a marriage contract, why are we not qualified?" Lu Yu said angrily.
But Jingwen took the initiative to say: "Is it the folk customs or the law?" Can folklore replace law? ”
The first half of Jingwen asked Lu Yu, and the second half of the sentence asked about the magistrate in the hall. Obviously, Jingwen deliberately put the matter on the line, so that the law and folk customs were opposed. The Tang Dynasty wanted to pay attention to marriage registration, so if there was no official marriage certificate, it would not be counted, and the Lu family would not be able to sue for this reason. Jingwen is completely drawn from the bottom of the kettle!
The pusher sitting on the chair is very waxy, because this is a complete trap! On the one hand, there is the law, and his own magistrate is also set up for law enforcement, if the law enforcers think that folk customs are higher than the law, then he does not need this future. As long as he is an official of the imperial court, even the emperor, he can't clearly say that folk customs are greater than the law, otherwise he doesn't need to ask for this official position. If the law officials themselves do not recognize the law, then why should the people obey the law? The magistrate was very sitting, because he had no way to answer. Because according to Jingwen's logic, it is really the Lu family that cannot represent Miss Cui.
"Tuiguan, do you say that the folk customs are big, or the law is big?" Jingwen asked.
"The law is higher than the folklore!" The pusher finally said helplessly.
Jingwen immediately said: "Since this is the case, the Lu family is not qualified to represent Miss Cui's grievances, so they are not qualified to sue me." And at present, only the Cui family can sue me, but the Cui family did not come, so I should be able to leave! ”
Jingwen ignored Lu Yu of the Lu family and left directly. And Lu Yu also hated it for a while, Jingwen actually seized the law of the Tang Dynasty to talk about things, and actually vetoed his qualification to sue directly, so that he could not sue him.
"Bastard! This guy is really a hooligan and scoundrel, this kind of person has mixed into the officialdom, what a misfortune for officialdom! Lu Yu scolded.
Lu Yu can't do anything about people like Jingwen, you reason with him, he plays hooligan with you. You play with customs, but he talks to you about the law, you talk to him about the law, but he uses his even more bullish hooligan logic to distort the law, and you really can't explain it with him. Lu Yu has now finally realized that hooligans are not terrible, but literate hooligans are the most terrifying. If one day, the hooligans learn to use the law, that is the most terrible thing!
