Ji Zhibai looked at the palace shopkeeper, then at Fang Yun, closed his mouth, and did not speak.

Subsequently, the neighbors of the Gong family testified one after another and told what they had heard.

Fang Yun was very calm at first, but later on, his face was full of clouds, as majestic as a mountain, as if a volcano could erupt at any time, and there seemed to be thick dark clouds pressing inside and outside the court, and many people were so frightened that they didn't dare to come out.

After the neighbors finished speaking, Fang Yun said again: "Please invite the relatives and friends of the Gong Liu family and the classmates and friends of the son of Gong Wu to testify in court!"

Ji Zhibai hurriedly said: "Confucius teaches that relatives are hidden, and relatives are not allowed to testify. ”

Concealment of relatives is an important idea of Confucianism, which originally meant that it is justified for relatives to conceal crimes and not disclose them, and by extension, if they are denounced, they will be guilty. Children are not allowed to denounce their parents, and slaves and maids are not allowed to sue their masters, otherwise they will commit a crime.

Fang Yun said coldly: "The crime of treason and rebellion must not be hidden from relatives, it has become a foregone conclusion. In this case, the palace shopkeeper regarded his wife as an enemy, and he had no regard for family affection, who could hide it?"

Ji Zhibai immediately said: "Kissing and hiding each other is great benevolence and righteousness, and the words of Confucius are a gift and cannot be abolished!"

Fang Yun sneered: "Ridiculous! What is etiquette? When it comes to the state order of the Holy Academy, such as the rites of sacrifice and the rites of the monarchs and ministers; it goes down to the social customs, such as weddings and funerals; down to the behaviors of scholars, such as words and deeds, are all within the scope of etiquette! The killing of his wife by a father is not advocated by the great rites of the state, and it is also contrary to folk etiquette, and it is even more forbidden by the etiquette of scholars! It is not this county that violates human ethics and ignores the etiquette and laws of the human race, but the treasurer of the human palace! This county is a pilot of the human race, if you are not satisfied, let the Holy Court adjudicate!"

Ji Zhibai gritted his teeth, Fang Yun is now a celebrity in the Criminal Palace and the Fa family, not to mention him Ji Zhibai, even if Zuo Xiang Liu Shan and even the head of the Zong family go to accuse Fang Yun. will be dismissed.

In the eyes of the Fa family, the concepts of patriarchy and kinship are the stumbling blocks to the progress of the human race. The Torture Temple has been making relevant efforts, but the resistance of the Rite Hall is extremely great, and many aspects need to be taken step by step. Now that Fang Yun is promoting this process, it is too late for the protection of the torture hall, how can it be stopped.

Ji Zhibai replied: "I have already passed this matter to the Rite Palace, and the Rite Hall will definitely investigate it strictly!"

Fang Yun said: "The elders of the hall of rites must be sensible, and they will never twist the words of Confucius for the sake of mere scum! Not to mention that the "Book of Rites" says that self-cultivation and Qi family rule the country and level the world. The palace shopkeeper is powerless in self-cultivation and incompetent in governing the family, and in the eyes of Yasheng Zengzi, he is naturally not worthy of talking about etiquette! The palace shopkeeper kills his wife and son, is ruthless, unrighteous, lawless, and has tarnished his father's name, broken his family's love, and ruined the family of rites. If anyone shelters such a beast, even if the county tries to win it, it will fight to the end!"

Fang Yun's voice was loud. It reverberated violently above the court.

Ji Zhibai tried to speak in vain, but before he could speak, he had a bad feeling, as if the forces of the entire court and the entire county were rejecting him, and he had to shut up.

Ji Zhibai sighed secretly. Fang Yun seemed to be saying to the people around him, but he was actually saying it to the Confucian people in the hall of worship. "Li" is originally a rule, and it is the code of conduct for all aspects of readers. And the changes in "Three Rites" are also illustrating.

The "Three Rites" are the "Weekly Rites", "Rites" and "Rites".

At present, the most influential is the "Book of Rites", which was written at the latest, because the current "Book of Rites" records the remarks of the saints in the pre-Qin period, including the famous passages of Yasheng Zengzi and Zi Sizi, and the famous passages of the two are precisely more personal rites.

Fang Yun took Zengzi's "self-cultivation, Qi family, ruling the country and leveling the world" in "The Book of Rites" as an argument, and insisted that the palace shopkeeper had no "etiquette" first, so the case could continue to be tried.

The hall is not afraid that the scholars will use "etiquette" to negate anything, and they are most afraid that they will not talk about "etiquette" at all, and they don't even want this layer of skin.

The hall resists the evolution of "rites", but it does not mean that it is completely opposed.

Ji Zhibai was worried in his heart, there was originally a shackle in "relatives and relatives", that is, traitorous relatives were not allowed to hide and cover up, and now Fang Yun has added another shackle, that is, if relatives violate "benevolence, righteousness and courtesy", they can also give up relatives and relatives, which is likely to cause a dispute over the Holy Dao, in case one side of Fang Yun is established, then this matter will help Fang Yun a lot.

Ji Zhibai hesitated, but Fang Yun was calm, restricting "relatives and relatives" is the general trend, since the Tang Dynasty has become more and more rigorous, not to mention Ji Zhibai's left minister, even the Zongsheng can't stop this mighty trend.

The palace test is the best time to let the general trend and trend explode in advance!

Fang Yun had long realized that if he could be canonized, the temple test would definitely become the biggest foundation!

"The witness continues to answer!" Fang Yun said.

Next, Gong Liu's relatives used Gong Liu's words to accuse the palace shopkeeper, and the child's classmates and friends also quoted his words before his death, which completely established the motive of the palace shopkeeper, and everyone's words became ironclad evidence.

After everyone finished speaking, Ji Zhibai raised his head and said: "Even if the palace shopkeeper once wanted to kill the mother and son of the palace Liu family, it doesn't mean that he killed this time, he once told the official that he was just venting his anger, so it was a manslaughter." ”

Fang Yun suddenly sighed softly, and said: "Ji Zhibai, Ji Zhibai, you have been studying for many years in vain, but you have lost all your human nature, if you are a reverse seed, you can become a great Confucian immediately." ”

"Please don't attack this official in the public court!" Ji Zhibai said with anger suppressed.

Fang Yun reined in his official authority, looked at the people present, and said slowly: "If the children are really stubborn and have done all the bad things, they may be forgiven as a father's hands-on lesson, after all, the parents who suffer from the body." However, if you think about it carefully, what is the premise for parents to punish their children? Is it because the children are at fault first! What is the other premise? It is for the good of the children! But what about the palace shopkeeper? Even he himself admits that he is venting his anger! If he had the slightest affection for husband and wife and the slightest love for a father, he would not have beaten his wife and children for many years as an adult! In his eyes, it was not a wife who married his hair, he was not a son of flesh and blood, but a tool to vent his anger, and he was not even a human being!

The hall was silent, Gong Liu's family and children's classmates cried in a low voice, even the irrelevant neighbors were red-eyed, and several female neighbors kept bowing their heads to wipe their tears.

Ji Zhibai looked at Fang Yun, he didn't know how to refute it at all, and even suspected that he would be scolded by everyone present as soon as he opened his mouth.

Fang Yun pointed at Ji Zhibai, his eyes were like knives, and said: "As a scholar, as a dignified champion, you don't even care about saying that he is 'just venting anger', what a terrible thing this is, the human race has been for thousands of years, and the etiquette has been thousands of years, and what you have taught is like this? Just to vent your anger? You guys, are you beasts!"

The last few words, Fang Yun said almost with all the strength of his body, and anger and hatred could almost be turned into substance.

"Brute, like a demonic brute!" Ao Huang couldn't help but roar.

"Yayaya......" In the corner of the court, the angry voice of the slave came.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Ji Zhibai and the palace shopkeeper with strange eyes, everyone seemed to be saying that the two of them were really not as good as beasts!

Ji Zhibai was angry, his heart was shocked, and he opened his mouth to spew out a mouthful of blood.

"Poof......

Blood was spilled in court.

Fang Yun took a deep breath, calmed down a little, and said, "Come on, wipe off the dirty blood." The yamen is a place that is more filthy than a latrine, a sinful place where the sun cannot shine, but this filthy blood is even dirtier. ”

Ji Zhibai's eyes were black, and he almost wanted to faint.
