Chapter 237: The Patriarch Was Expelled from the Clan
The father and daughter didn't have anything to eat, Li Jingyi held the pot and poured a glass of wine for Li Yuanshan and herself, "My daughter came here today because she wanted to ask her father something." ”
Li Jingyi said the news she heard from Ding, "The third uncle's letter did not write what happened later, and the daughter thinks that her father must know." ”
Li Yuanshan naturally knew that in order to get rid of future troubles forever, when Luo Da accompanied Li Yuantang to Tongxian, he had already received Li Yuanshan's orders, "You mean those bitter masters?" Naturally, there is revenge, there is revenge, these years the Li clan has relied on our capital, but they have done a lot of lack of morality, the people of Tongshan are afraid of the prestige of the Hou Mansion, dare to be angry and dare not speak, and the successive magistrates, how many will offend our Hou Mansion for a few people? The people didn't dare to sue, and no one dared to take care of it, and they actually raised the courage of those people more and more fat. ”
So this time Li Yuanshan not only went to the sect in the past, but also completely rectified Li Hou Village, Li Zhongxiao forced people to die, as soon as he had an affair with his daughter-in-law came out, the little daughter-in-law immediately hung the beam, and the maid around him came out, and the little daughter-in-law was forced by Li Zhongxiao and had to follow.
Li Zhongxiao is the patriarch of the Li family, the daughter-in-law he married to his young son, although his mother's family is not a scholar's family, but it is also a good field, and there are countless tenants.
The head of the family, Li Zhongxiao, is in the county jail, the eldest son has not yet returned from the academy, the second son Li Yuanqiao is in office, the youngest son, the daughter-in-law is dead, and he is wearing a green hat given by his father.
And Li Hou Village'er because of the division of clan property, several houses are more like enemies, and even Li Zhongxiao's killing of the maid is poked out by cousins, at this time, everyone only closes their own doors, climbs on the wall to watch the excitement, this kind of patriarch who can't wait to hug the clan property to his own home, the more unlucky the clan, the happier it is!
When the in-laws left satisfied, the Li family had been beaten and smashed, and I don't know how much property was lost, and after the Li family sorted out the inventory, Li Zhongxiao's eldest son rushed to the house from the academy, and he didn't have to go back, the head of the academy he studied had heard about the ugly things in the Li family, and called him over directly, saying that before the news spread, he had better leave the academy to save himself from completely ruining his reputation among the scholars.
No one cares about the future of Li Zhongxiao's house, and everyone cares more about their own future.
Fools can see that Li Zhongxiao's fate is inseparable from his coveting of the title of the Marquis of Anguo's Mansion and his family property, Li Yuanhai's daughter-in-law's maiden family, didn't he escape this time?
After discussing with a few head of the house, they invited Li Yuantang, Li Yong, the eldest son of Dongfu, and Luo Dayi to come over, and directly opened the ancestral hall to remove Li Zhongxiao from the position of patriarch, and removed Li Zhongxiao's house directly from the clan.
Li Zhongxiao's house is out of the family, and the entire Li Hou village has no opinion, and everyone unanimously believes that Li Zhongxiao's house is no longer the Li family, and naturally has no right to occupy the Li family's grass and things, of course, with Li Yuantang here, naturally Li Zhongxiao will not be called a pure monk, if he starves to death and freezes to death outside, it will still be the reputation of Li Hou Village.
Therefore, Li Yuantang specially asked the gentry with heads and faces in the county to be present together, and directly crossed out Li Zhongxiao's house from the Li family tree, and wrote out the charges and the treatment methods of the clan, so as to set an example for future generations.
But Li Zhongxiao's dowry for all the female dependents in the house, the Li family didn't want it, and asked them all to take it away, and Li Zhongxiao's room was all married to the daughters of local big families, and the dowry they brought over was enough for the family to have enough food and clothing.
Although Li Yuanqiao, the most proud of Li Zhongxiao's house, has not yet returned, but there are eldest sons and three sons, of course, they have no resistance in front of the clan, and Li Zhongxiao's mistakes may not be able to come out alive, and Li Yuanqiao, the clan has heard the news from Li Yuantang, because of corruption, he has been sued by Shangguan, and losing his official position is already a sure thing.
Li Jingyi was dazzled when she listened, "Father, if according to the laws of the Great Zhou, what will happen to Li Zhongxiao (who can no longer be called the patriarch)?" ”
"Although it was the master who beat the maid, but the maid of the Xia family did not sign a death contract, and the maid of the Xia family was only fourteen years old at that time, Li Zhongxiao* died, and he was sentenced to a hundred rods and sentenced to exile for thousands of miles, but Li Zhongxiao was already over sixty,"
Thinking that he was still so lustful at his age, Li Yuanshan frowned in disgust, "The government took into account his age, and the exile was changed to imprisonment, three years!" As for the hundred rods, each of the sons divided thirty, and he himself received ten rods. ”
This is really good, Li Jingyi almost didn't laugh, "The county adult's mirror is hanging high, and the judgment is very fair, so it also completes the children's filial piety." ”
Li Zhongxiao really received a hundred rods, but he was afraid that he would return to the west immediately, and the crimes he committed would be forgotten in a short time, so it was better to let him live well in the county prison, and also warn the villain in Li Hou Village who was not greedy enough.
"Then which house is the current patriarch in?"
Li Yuanshan didn't think about asking Li Hou Cun'er to twist into a rope again, "As soon as this Li Zhongxiao is imprisoned, several clan elders of his generation will not give in, in order to avoid disputes in the future, your third uncle will tell me what I mean, in addition to the clan science, the hundreds of acres of land we added to the clan at the beginning will be taken by the heads of each house in turn, if there is less money in the clan in any year, the qualification of this house to be in charge of this sacrificial field will be cancelled,"
This is good, no matter when, if a family wants to really prosper in the world, there must be scholars, "Reading can be polite, it is better for the father to come forward and help the clan find a few real scholars to teach, learning is secondary, the key is character,"
Even if you don't go back to Tongshan, just look at the people of the sub-clan brought by Li Zhongxiao, Li Jingyi can also see that these people's mental skills are broken, if the juniors below don't find a gentleman with a good mind and strict rules to teach, I am afraid that the generation will not succeed from generation to generation.
Li Yuanshan nodded with satisfaction, "You're right, don't worry, it's not long after the Spring Festival, many scholars haven't returned to their hometowns yet, I'll ask someone to see if there are any scholars from our Tongshan nationality, even if you can't invite them, you can also inquire about it, there are good reviews in the local area." ”
After talking about Mr., Li Jingyi asked the patriarch again, only to know that now Tongshan Li Hou Village is no longer the same as before, the patriarch is Li Zhongxiao, the so-called family of Li Zhongxiao, has been passed down from generation to generation, but by each generation, hearing what Li Yuanshan said "Yan Fang", Li Jingyi laughed for a long time, "It turns out that our Hou Mansion, in their eyes, is not a serious person from Li Hou Village, I think the name of Li Hou Village has also gone." ”
"Our Li Zhongxiao's house is indeed the largest house of the year, otherwise your ancestor would not have been driven out of the village, to put it in detail, Li Zhongxiao's branch is still the enemy of the Hou Mansion, but it turned out to be attached to the Hou Mansion, and after sucking the blood for so many years, it is time for them to return it." In the past, Li Yuanshan didn't care what the people of Li Hou Village had done, anyway, no matter how much they tossed, they didn't dare to come to the capital, but now Li Yuanshan thinks differently, just like he wants to help his daughter seek justice, he can't spare Li Hou Village, not only that, but Li Yuanshan will also set such family rules in the future, but anyone who hurts the Hou Mansion, no matter who it is, the Hou Mansion will not let it go!
The patriarch takes turns to do this, and the so-called clansmen of Lihou Village are only afraid that they will not want to unite in the future, and there will be a time for each house to ask for these rooms in the capital in the future.
"As for the situation that Luo Da received, you don't have to worry, Luo Da is the most jealous and hateful, how can it be over? The other heads of the clan, don't look so energetic when you sue Li Zhongxiao, in fact, you have been relying on the name of the Hou Mansion all these years, and you have done no less evil things, this time your Uncle Luo didn't clean up those people, and he won't come back, and it can be regarded as cleaning up the portal on the orders of me, the Marquis of Anguo. ”
After this liquidation, the people of Lihou Village are only afraid of being honest for decades, and as for the future, Li Yuanshan believes in his daughter's courage and will not let the Tongshan people bully the door again.
The father and daughter were talking and eating, and before they knew it, it was already dark, and the two cleaned their hands and rinsed their mouths and came out of the flower hall, Li Jingyi was not in a hurry to go back to the eldest princess's mansion, but like when she was in the Hou Mansion, she accompanied Li Yuanshan to stroll in the garden to eat, she told Li Yuanshan about the two aunts of the Qin family visiting Wang Tong's government today, "It seems that my daughter has to go back to her name again." ”
"Do you care about this?" Li Yuanshan was amused by his daughter's "helpless" tone, but no, if the two families of the King of Qin tore their faces because of their children's family affairs, I am afraid that the Wang family would only think that the Qin family would only dare to make a decision by borrowing the power of the Jinyang Eldest Princess's Mansion, how could the daughter not be angry?
Li Jingyi shook her head, "Qian Niang is not only the child of the Wang family, but also the grandson of the Qin family, if the Qin and Wang families are in favor of it, the daughter can only sigh that the world is ruthless, but as long as Qian Niang wants to keep her flesh and blood, her daughter will help her, reputation or something,"
Li Jingyi glanced at her father, "The left and right are long gone, and my father won't love his daughter because of this, so what am I worried about?" ”
