Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Ancestral Hall
The twenty torture rods were quickly beaten, and Mao Xiaoliu's back was bruised and swollen, and blood was oozing out from time to time, which was indescribably terrifying. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The slaves around were all terrified, and no one dared to defy the law
Situ Xing glanced at it and couldn't help nodding secretly.
Misdemeanors are punished heavily, deterring people's hearts.
Yang Shou's execution was very measured, Mao Xiaoliu's injuries looked terrible, but they were all skin injuries, and they did not hurt the muscles and bones, as long as he recuperated for a few days, he could act normally when the wound scabbed over.
Mao Xiaoliu was helped up from the bench by several slaves, and stood up with pain.
Saluted to Situ Xing, thanked the lord for his grace, and saluted Yang Shou, and thanked his subordinates for their mercy.
Situ Xing, who was watching it, couldn't help nodding secretly, this Mao Xiaoliu is not useless.
If Yang Shou is narrow-minded and vicious, twenty canes can break his spine, or use dark energy to shock his internal organs, causing him to vomit blood and die in the end.
This kind of thing is not uncommon, so many prisoners will spend a lot of money to pay off the servants, just begging them to show mercy when they are executed.
After seeing Situ Xing and Yang Shou nodding slightly, Mao Xiaoliu limped out.
A few people who had always been good friends with him looked at his staggering back, as well as the expressionless and majestic Situ Execution, and wanted to intercede for him. But after opening and closing his mouth a few times, he didn't know what to say, and finally he could only sigh helplessly.
"Today's things are a warning. The law of the country hangs high, and the law of the family is ruthless. ”
Yang Shou looked at the slaves around him with a cold face, his voice was cold, and his eyes looked at him, whether it was a slave or a maid, he subconsciously bowed his head, and no one dared to look at him.
"No!"
"No!"
"No!"
With Mao Xiaoliu's experience, where do the slaves dare to have the idea of luck in their hearts. In Yang Shou's eyes, he lowered his head and replied loudly.
Jin Wansan looked at Mao Xiaoliu, who was dressed in coarse cloth, with injuries on his back, and a restrained demeanor, and sighed helplessly.
"Master Jin, I've disappointed you. ”
Mao Xiaoliu endured the pain in his back, his face was embarrassed, and he said a little sneeringly.
"According to the rules of the government, those who are dismissed and dismissed have five taels of silver to settle in. ”
Jin Wansan took out a letter of silver from his arms, handed it to Mao Xiaoliu, and said earnestly.
"If you don't want to be a human being anymore and do that kind of business, you can do a little business with these money. If you hold it for a few years and ask for a daughter-in-law again, you will have a peaceful and beautiful life. ”
"Master Jin... ”
Mao Xiaoliu's face was red, holding silver in his hand, and he didn't know what to say.
"Take it, this is the lord's benevolence, and I don't want to see you live on the streets. ”
Jin Wansan stretched out his hand in the direction of the main hall and said with emotion.
"It's really rare to see such a benevolent and kind master. ”
"Master Jin, the little one used to be bewitched by ghosts to do such a bastard thing. I really know it's wrong, can you plead for the little one at the master's. ”
Mao Xiaoliu stared at the silver in his hand, with a look of remorse on his face, looking at Jin Wansan's eyes with a look of hope, and pleaded in a low voice.
"Family law is hard to violate. ”
Jin Wansan looked at the poor Mao Xiaoliu, and felt a little unbearable in his heart.
But thinking of the stone monument with the iron painting silver hook depicting the vermilion lacquer and the strict law standing in the courtyard, the family law is solemn, how can it be violated.
The little unbearable in his heart was forcibly suppressed by him in an instant.
"Little Liu, it's not that Jin Ye doesn't help you, it's that the family law is ruthless. ”
Mao Xiaoliu's face instantly turned pale, and the little thoughts in his heart were gone, leaving only a bitter face. His mouth opened and closed, but it was as if he was blocked by something, and he couldn't make a sound.
"If you know today, why bother in the first place. ”
Looking at the lonely Mao Xiaoliu, Jin Wansan sighed helplessly and muttered.
Mao Xiaoliu was like being struck by lightning by the way, and his body suddenly stiffened.
Yes, if you knew today, why bother in the first place.
。。。
The corner door of Situ's Mansion slowly opened a gap, Mao Xiaoliu carried a coarse cloth burden on his back, limped out of Situ's Mansion, and several family members who were familiar with him stood at the corner gate and waved to him, wishing him a smooth journey.
When Mao Xiaoliu walked a distance, and then turned around, the open corner door had already been closed, and the maid and servant were gone.
Mao Xiaoliu couldn't help twitching in his heart, and suddenly he had a feeling of being abandoned by the world, and his back became even more lonely.
Looking at the closed vermilion lacquer door and the word Situ hanging high above the lintel, his heart was filled with endless remorse.
If he had been given another chance, he would not have done anything to steal the Lord's belongings.
"I hope that the old man will go to high school as soon as possible, and the lintel of the light gate. ”
Although he knew, Situ would definitely not see it, and even if he did, he wouldn't care.
However, Mao Xiaoliu still knelt in front of the gate and kowtowed a few times. I silently prayed to the gods in the sky.
Although Situ punished him, he not only gave him silver tattoos to make a living, but also made him understand the truth of being a man.
Therefore, not only did he not have a grudge against Situ Xing in his heart, but he had a deep sense of gratitude.
From the crack in the gate, watching Mao Xiaoliu's back disappear outside the gate, the miscellaneous servants who came at the same time as him were all embarrassed.
But none of them expressed dissatisfaction with what happened to him.
Even those who usually have a personal relationship with him don't think there is anything wrong with the handling of Situ and Yang Shou.
"The water drops through the stones, and the rope saws the wood. ”
"Don't take the good as small and do nothing, don't take the evil small and do it. ”
These two sentences were engraved on the stone tablet by everyone, and the concept of preventing micro problems was remembered by them.
No one dares to defy the law anymore. The atmosphere in the mansion is also positive.
Situ Xing sat quietly in the hall, the servants carefully surrounded him, and he could feel the fear of family law in everyone's hearts. However, he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
Legalism is originally a technique of criminal name, and strict punishment is a deterrent to people's hearts.
Maintaining a sense of reverence for family rules and national law is not a bad thing in the eyes of Situ Xing.
Once people lose their reverence for national laws and regulations, it is the source of turmoil and the beginning of chaos. It also means the advent of troubled times.
After the Mao Xiaoliu incident, the servants of Situ Mansion have greatly improved their awareness of family law, and they have a sense of awe.
Both as a person and as a person has changed.
Situ Xing couldn't help nodding secretly at this, with such a family style, why worry about the family's dissipation?
"Master, according to Wang Zhenren of the Dao Law Division, tomorrow is a good day and an auspicious day, which is the most conducive to the return of the gods. ”
Jin Wansan is now wholeheartedly assisting Si Tu, so he will naturally do what he tells him to the extreme, and even every detail is done perfectly.
This is also what Situ Xing values him the most, he is as careful as a hair, and he wants to be in front of Situ Xing in everything.
In order to make the ancestral hall completed and the return of the god more perfect, Jin Wansan spent a lot of money and specially invited Wang Zhenren of the Taoist Law Division to choose a date.
"Since tomorrow is an auspicious day, then tomorrow I respectfully ask the gods to return to their thrones. ”
Situ Xing was turning his fingers on the page, and suddenly froze, after so many days of planning, it was finally time to harvest. As long as the spiritual position of the family god is successfully returned to the place, and the amount of money is given by the imperial court, and the incense is sacrificed, the ancestral hall will form a spiritual realm the size of a three-courtyard in the underworld. Whether it is Situ Xing's deceased father or three generations of ancestors, as long as there is no major crime of rebellion, they will be forgiven by the dragon qi and enjoy sacrifices in the spirit world.
And Situ Xing will also receive the blessing of the ancestors' luck, so as to break through the restriction of life, become famous in one fell swoop in the county examination, and gain the favor of dragon qi, so that the carp jumps into the dragon gate.
Thinking of this, Situ couldn't help but glance at Jin Wansan with satisfaction.
Jin Wansan received Si Tuxing's satisfied eyes, and his face couldn't help but show a hint of joy.
With the approval of Situ Xing, under Jin Wansan's personal efforts, the entire Situ Mansion was like a high-speed machine. The whole mansion knew that the family ancestral hall was about to be completed, and in order to welcome the return of the gods, not only was the house renovated, but the slaves were also rewarded with silver from the master's family, not only improved the food, but also gave them new clothes, and everyone had a smile on their faces, and a face was happy.
