Chapter 196: Counterattack
Jiao Ling said before that he knew what kind of person Jiao Mu was-shrew.
He did understand Jiao's mother, but ...... But I didn't read the shrew!
Before, Jiao's mother felt that it was Liu Xun's clan daughter who caused his son to be affected, and Qin Gu's secret peace, which made her firm mind to force her son to divorce his wife - one is a clan daughter who has lost power and is too guarded, and the other is the daughter of the current captain, of course she will choose!
As for other factors...... Not in the picture.
However, when Bai Tu was optimistic about Jiao Qing's news appeared, the situation had changed, how could Jiao's mother continue to force her son for Jiao Ling and others?
Of course, it is necessary to make a fire and "sacrifice" all the people of the Jiao family, so that they can be the qualifications of their own sons - now Jiao Ling and others are "not in the scope of consideration".
Jiao Qing is a decent person, if it were him, he really couldn't do this kind of thing, at most he didn't want to go along with them, but Jiao Ling wanted to be smart and wanted to make a breakthrough from Jiao's mother, and the ending was actually doomed from the beginning.
The essence of their "support" is that more than ninety percent of the supporters of clan rituals will make their lives better.
At this time, the productivity and the management mode of the government are destined to be backed by the big family, so as not to be pulled out of the skin and bones.
When a few people offend the clan law, other supporters will stand up and suppress it.
However, for the vast majority of people, the clan etiquette is really on the opposite side of their own interests, that is, another option, which is the same as "supporting the Han family" - when Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, wasn't it also a large number of scholars, who felt that the Han family could no longer satisfy their aggressiveness, so they usurped it? It's just that it was later discovered that Wang Mang's new dynasty was not as good as the Han family......
There are very few people who are really sacrificing their own interests, and who are willing to defend something knowing that they will not benefit from today's sacrifice in the future.
This has been the case from ancient times to the present day, and to all generations to come.
Of course, if you can make most people believe that this is their own interests, it is already successful - whether it is clan etiquette or Han orthodoxy, it has been successful before.
That's why there are so many people who are willing to wave the flag and shout for the clan etiquette and the Han family, and are willing to oppress a few discordant tones.
Therefore, Bai Tucai always talked about making the people believe in themselves, in the Cheqi General's Mansion, and in the New Deal......
Jiao's mother is undoubtedly an ordinary person, and she is also an ordinary shrew.
When clan interests conflict with those of her son, there is no need to even hesitate to make a choice.
Jiao's family? What is it?
Three generations ago, there was a small scholar clan who was too guarded, tsk...... In the future, my son will be favored by General Bai, and he will be able to be a Taishou! At that time, my son will be the ancestor of the Jiao family!
And she also has her own shrew-like scheming - today's scene, it's really not Bai Tu and Zhou Yu mentioning her, but she herself is suffocating until now!
This wave of "backlash" directly made the people who stood in Jiaomu's perspective to criticize Baitu and maintain the etiquette system dumbfounded.
Of course, they can continue to refute Jiao's mother and criticize this kind of behavior as a widow, betraying the clan and disobeying the uncle in the clan, which is indeed against etiquette, but ...... In the eyes of most people, this will be a typical deed of the Jiao clan sacrificing Jiao Qing's interests to benefit others in the clan.
On the contrary, the more this matter is mentioned, the more it will help Bai Tu to "tear up" in the hearts of others, and then as long as Bai Tu continues to improve productivity and improve the people's trust in the government, this gap will become bigger and bigger.
As for this moment, Jiao Ling and the others don't have to wait for the future, they have already lost everything!
Gao Biao, who instigated the divorce of his wife before, Jiao Ling, who instigated Jiao's mother to complain, and Qin Gu, who secretly proposed marriage, Jiao's mother arranged it for everyone clearly, don't look at Jiao's mother who can't write, but anyone who has stepped into the threshold of her house because of this matter, one by one, remembers it as if it was written in a book......
In this way, it is not a question of filial piety or not, but the old bureaucrats and clans, persecuting aspiring young people, not hesitating to break up beautiful love, and ...... Its fundamental purpose is likely to be to slander Bai Tu and shake the leadership position of the Che Cavalry General's Mansion in Huainan.
This script...... In fact, there are some differences from the Baitu plan, but it does make everyone's original entanglement disappear, and it is foreseeable that public opinion will unite to criticize Jiao and other Lujiang officials involved in it, and successfully complete the establishment of a benchmark negative example of the clan system.
"Jiao Shaofu, do you have anything else to say? And also...... Gao Juncheng and Qin Duwei, are they also nearby? Everyone look for it and let the person involved come to the front to defend himself. Bai Tu said with some interest.
Jiao's mother's defection and five killings have directly set the tone of this matter, as for ...... The specific handling of the subordinate officials of the Taishou Mansion, Bai Tu is not very concerned.
This matter is not big, it is not small, the upper limit is intended to subvert the Cheqi General's Mansion, and the lower limit is ...... Corrupt moral character, deliberately destroying subordinate families for profit?
But now, Gao's uncles and nephews, Qin Gu, and the Jiao family are only left to ask for guilt, and they are recognized by the people present one by one, and one by one spits saliva in front of them.
"Ridiculous! As an official of the imperial court, you don't think about how to benefit the people and keep one side safe...... actually murdered his nephew and niece-in-law for his own interests......
Good, good! Aren't you all filial piety and honesty in office? Tell me for yourself, what is the sin of such a moral depravity! Bai Tu pretended to be angry.
When Gao Ming and the others heard Bai Tu's words, they were frightened at first, but then ...... Gradually, it eased up a bit.
Fly Camp Dog Gou ...... For their own benefit...... Moral decay......
On the surface, it seems that Bai Tu is angry, but ...... A few people heard the implicit meaning of Bai Tu.
Bai Tu doesn't seem to have the intention of guiding this matter to the "upper limit", but at the same time, they must admit that what they have done is also a proof of the drawbacks of the clan etiquette!
Of course, if they have enough iron heads, they can bite to death, they are specifically against Bai Tu for their dreams and ideas, not against Jiao Zhongqing, but just because Jiao's mother is dissatisfied with Liu Lanzhi, in this way, the damage to the clan etiquette is relatively small, but ......
Coupled with the assassination of Bai Tu before, they are at least responsible for the ineffective suppression of bandits, and they can basically prepare for the future, and there will be no one who will cry out to them.
So......
"I, I'm a ghost for a while, and I'm jealous, that's why I did this kind of thing that is not as good as a pig and a dog!" Gao Biao immediately cried.
"My lord! I...... I was instigated by this evil obstacle, so I did such a reluctant thing, I am sorry for Jiao Qing, I am sorry for the people......" Gao Ming made the same choice after glaring at his nephew, who had no interest.
Except for Jiao Ling, everyone else also condemned themselves, in short, they all followed Bai Tu's words.
And Jiao Ling, who is at the center of the contradiction, has not yet spoken, which can't help but make people nervous.
Although they have already stated their position, they ...... After Jiao Mu's rebellion, Jiao Ling is the first person responsible, if he has an iron head, I am afraid that others are still in danger of being killed!
As for Jiao Ling, I saw him hesitate for a moment, or say after a few words: "My lord, the pig and dog are not as good as me!" In fact...... In fact, I had evil thoughts about my nephew and daughter-in-law, so I relied on my clan status to force my nephew to divorce his wife, and deliberately pressured Jiao's mother, thinking that it was ...... I thought that this would be foolproof, and the maintenance of courtesy and filial piety could complete my filthy thoughts, and I was simply inferior to a beast! ”
Whether it was an onlooker or an accomplice, everyone looked at Jiao Ling and gasped - is there such a brazen person in the world?
This is no longer following Bai Tu's words, it is simply helping Bai Tu bite people!
Even...... He even didn't hesitate to admit that he had evil thoughts about his nephew's wife?
The best thing is that the topic is also on the clan etiquette - one who wanted to maintain the clan etiquette half an hour ago, and refuted Bai Tu, Jiao Ling, who came as the step of entering the body, has turned into a fierce fighting dog, and even before biting people, he drank a sip of feces to quench the poison......
It is conceivable that after today, even if Bai Tu will not kill them, after the dismissal, let alone a comeback, I am afraid that Jiao Ling will not want to appear in public again in the future!
Even if it weren't for Bai Tu's strict prohibition of the abuse of lynching, I am afraid that he would be the first to be beaten to death by a stick in the Jiao ancestral shrine.
But now at this juncture, I'm afraid that no one dares to touch Bai Tu's tiger whiskers, but as long as he can survive today's catastrophe, he will at least have no worries about his life.
As for the clans? Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren!
Bai Tu was stunned for a long time, he didn't expect Jiao Ling's desire to survive to be so strong......
"Where are the officials of the Criminal Department? The people involved will be dismissed on the spot and strictly investigated! Sentence according to the law. Bai Tu was frightened and relieved before he said.
Although Bai Tu said "strict investigation", the more important thing is obviously "according to the law" - that is, at least their lives can be saved.
After all, even if their crimes are strictly investigated, according to the tone set by the current white map, it will only be "moral degradation".
This kind of person will definitely not be able to become an official, and may even be subjected to some corporal punishment, but ...... The law affirms that sin does not lead to death.
As for whether it will be lynched by the clan's people?
emmm…… Bai Gong is mighty, Bai Gong is really fragrant, you must stick to the bottom line and protect us victims who are trembling under the lynching of the clan!
Bai Tu really needs them to live now, and no one dares to touch them no matter how they bite the clan, at least the Jiao clan and the Gao clan don't dare to be confused at this time.
And they are not stupid, they will definitely leave their homeland when they go back.
"Mrs. Jiao doesn't have to worry, in the future, whether it is your son or your daughter-in-law, no one can break them up, as long as they work for the General's Mansion and the Kuangfu Han Family in peace." Bai Tu said.
When Jiao's mother heard this, she said movingly: "Fortunately, there is a white man in Lujiang!" If there is no white prince to uphold justice, how can we orphans and widows deal with our uncles in the clan? Before today, I am afraid that there are still many people who speak up for what the old man was forced to do before, it will really be a big mistake! ”
Jiao's mother hid her merits and fame, and hit the crit again......
