Demon Underworld Liang City, West Building of the Inner Courtyard of Peach Blossom Spring.

Ji Chengying sat in the middle, Tang Xiaohao and Nanrong Yuankai stood on either side of it, and Xiao Ling, Baomeng, Dongshan Xiao and Dugu stood by the door, and everyone's eyes were on Xue Yun in the middle of the room.

Xue Yun looked at Ji Chengying and said, "Lord Wang, before telling all the reasons, can I tell a story first?"

Ji Chengying looked at Tang Xiaohao: "I have said it several times, the emperor has already issued an order, and it is up to the horse to decide here."

Xue Yun had to look at Tang Xiaohao: "Master Horse."

At this moment, Tang Xiaohao didn't know that the Demon Underworld was about to descend on Liangcheng, but he just wanted to find out the ins and outs of everything, so he said: "Many, many years ago, there was a husband and wife in a certain county in the territory of Liangcheng, the man's surname was Wang and his name was Chen, and the woman's surname was Guo and her name was Fu. Wang Chen does some small business, and Guo Fu takes care of his children at home to serve his in-laws on weekdays, and his life can be regarded as rich and comfortable.

Tang Xiaohao frowned when he heard this, "After suffering from a natural disaster, Wang Chen wants to go out alone to make a living, leaving his parents, wife and children behind?"

Others also felt puzzled, this is no longer a normal person's thinking.

Xue Yun nodded and continued, "Before Wang Chen left, he kowtowed to his wife Guo Fu and begged him to take care of his elderly and sick parents and young son, and then left. Guo Fu, who loved her husband deeply, took care of Wang Chen's parents and children at home alone, and miraculously survived the natural disaster......

After the natural disaster, Wang Chen was not seen to return home, and it was really not easy for a weak woman to support her family in the year of the disaster, so the family could no longer open the pot.

Because Guo Fu was born beautiful, there were many prodigal children in the county who tempted her with money, but she ignored them. It's just that at this time, rumors have spread in the county that Guo Fu can survive the natural disaster by betraying herself, and she is a woman who does not abide by the way of a chaste woman.

One day, Guo Fu invited his neighbors to come and bow down to the crowd: "My husband entrusted his parents to me, but I have tried my best, and I can no longer support the second elder and the children, if I don't do anything else, the old people and children will starve to death." If you are willing to help me, Guo Fu is grateful, if you are unwilling, I can only make a living selling flowers from now on, and please don't laugh at me."

Ji Chengying and Bao Meng, who heard the word "selling flowers", were a little puzzled, although the two knew that this should be a hidden word, but they really didn't understand the meaning, you must know that these two are the emperor and the other is a princess, and they both know little about folk affairs.

However, everyone else knows that the so-called selling flowers is actually selling their bodies, and selling flowers is just a hidden word, which can be regarded as a kind of elegant name.

Xue Yun continued: "No one in the neighborhood helped Guo Fu, Guo Fu was very helpless, kowtowed to his in-laws and cried, and then began to sell his body. In addition to supporting her in-laws and children, she also saved a sum of money to buy another woman and hide her from others to see her appearance. But the news of Guo Fu's private possession of the woman still spread, and the neighbors all thought that Guo Fu wanted to sell the woman for a good price in the future."

When Ji Chengying heard this, he was stunned, but then he felt that this incident should not have happened after he ascended the throne, because when he ascended the throne, he issued a law that did not allow people to buy and sell people at will. Note that the point is that "casual" is not allowed, not completely eliminated, and cannot be eliminated.

This law was promulgated by Ji Chengying at the behest of his mother, Empress Dowager Jiang, because the Jiang family belonged to the virtuous clan of Jiuyuan, and even the virtuous clan could not break the inequality on the land of Jiuyuan today.

In this way, after a few more years, her husband Wang Chen finally returned. Wang Chen not only did not get rich when he was away all these years, but instead became a beggar, and he couldn't get along the way to ask for food to go home.

After the couple met, they hugged and cried, Guo Fu led Wang Chen to his in-laws and said, "Your parents are still alive, and the children have grown up, I will return them to you now."

Later, Guo Fu brought the woman who was hiding to her husband, and the husband was dumbfounded when he saw the woman, because the woman's beauty was better than that of his wife.

Guo Fu said, "My body has been defiled and I have no face to face you, so I will find another woman for you

Son, I will now hand her over to you as well."

After that, Guo Fu left under the pretext of cooking, but actually killed himself in the kitchen.

Bao Meng was extremely angry when she heard this, and just as she was about to speak, Tang Xiaohao took the case and roared angrily, "What kind of miscellaneous thing is this named Wang Chen? Isn't the so-called going out alone to make a living just leaving the whole family to live? Then his wife not only betrayed herself to support his parents, but also found another woman for him. Xue Yun, what do you mean by this story? Is it possible to think that all women in the world should sacrifice themselves by taking Guo Fu as an example? I see no difference between you and Wang Chen, how did you become a long history?"

Tang Xiaohao's anger and excitement calmed the others present, and no one expected him to be so excited.

The most surprising thing is naturally Bao Meng, Bao Meng is a native of the Rouyuan Tors Division, and the status of a woman in the Tors Department is very high, and it is impossible for this kind of thing to happen.

Although after the establishment of the Dachang Dynasty, especially when Emperor Shunhe ascended the throne to marry the Jiang clan of the Ruiyuan Xian clan, he promulgated a series of laws to improve the status of women, and no longer let women become appendages of men, but for various reasons, they could not avoid the pedantic three obedience and four virtues.

Little Bell understands why Tang Xiaohao is so angry, although he is known as the No. 1 scumbag in the Shendu, even if he pretends to be a disciple on weekdays, at best, he only stays at verbal and cheap, and has never really bullied men and women. Before marrying Little Bell, although they liked each other, they never forced her to do anything, even if Little Bell was deceived into being a lone member and forced to dedicate himself, Tang Xiaohao avoided it.

Xue Yun was even more surprised, and waited for his expression to ease before he said, "Master Horse, my story is not finished yet."

Tang Xiaohao also realized that he was a little out of shape, glanced at Ji Chengying next to him, and saw that after Ji Chengying motioned for him to sit down, he sat down and said, "Then you go on."

Xue Yun continued: "After Guo Fu's death, Wang Chen went to report to the official, and the county magistrate at that time brought someone to inspect the body, and after understanding the cause of the matter, it was announced that Guo Fu could be buried in the ancestral grave of her husband's family, but her husband could not be buried with him after his death, because she did not abide by the virgin morals, so she had to sever the relationship between husband and wife."

Hearing this, Tang Xiaohao was about to get up again, but Ji Chengying grabbed his wrist to signal him to calm down, but the angry Tang Xiaohao had already broken the armrest of the chair.

Little Bell and Bao Meng, as women, are naturally even more angry.

Dongshan Xiaohe Dugu looked very calm, and Nanrong Yuankai was also expressionless, because this is the so-called so-called rules brought by the tradition of male superiority and female inferiority.

Ji Chengying's expression was the most complicated, no one knew what this prince was, no, what the emperor was thinking at this moment.

"The county order allowed Guo Fu to be buried in the ancestral grave because she was filial to her in-laws," Xue Yun said this, closed his eyes, and said slowly, "Guo Fu's son Wang Zhicheng threw himself on his mother's corpse and cried, although Wang Chen was very sad on the surface, but this man's attention was all on the new wife, because the new wife Guo Fu found for him was very beautiful, and only Guo Fu's son noticed that his mother was dead at that time."

Tang Xiaohao asked coldly, "Are you finished?"

Xue Yun was calm: "Not yet...... After the county order was announced, Wang Chen's parents were very sad, and told the county that their daughter-in-law was a chaste woman, and she had to sell herself in order to support them and support her children. After these words, the county order did not change the sentence, but the words of Wang Chen's parents made Guo Fu close his eyes."

Tang Xiaohao was no longer angry at this time, and just asked in a calm and terrifying tone, "Which county in Liangcheng did this incident take place in? Who is the prefectural order? If this person is still alive, he will die, and even if the emperor comes now, he will not be able to protect him."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was even more shocked, Nan Rongyuan frowned and glared at Tang Xiaohao, these words were simply rebellious and arrogant.

Xue Yun was even more surprised, and he was dumbfounded.

Bao Meng and Little Bell looked at Ji Chengying worriedly, worried that the King Xi in their eyes would be angry.

However, Ji Chengying just glanced at Tang Xiaohao, although he was also surprised that Tang Xiaohao would say that, but

was impressed by this concubine, at least he knew that this concubine was not as hypocritical as those ministers in the court.

Even if this horse master doesn't know his true identity, he will think that he is Ji Hanguang, and if he dares to say this in front of the emperor's younger brother, it is not as simple as not being afraid of death.

This person has a true temperament and is sensible, and he seems to be a fool, but he is actually a person with a conscience.

Tang Xiaohao completely regarded Ji Chengying as air, and wanted to ask who the county order was, and the plan in his heart was that even if the goods were dead, he would have to dig the grave.

Xue Yun didn't answer, but seeing that Ji Chengying was silent, he immediately knelt down, which could be regarded as a response to Tang Xiaohao's previous words, and it could be regarded as a reminder to this concubine.

The others also knelt down naturally, Tang Xiaohao was stunned when he saw this, and when he was about to salute, Ji Chengying grabbed his wrist and signaled him not to: "Pay equal attention to filial piety, and you can't have both, and you can't break it if you're not a sage."

Chastity and filial piety are equally important, but they cannot be both, and no one but the sages can make a fair judgment on the matter. This is the attitude expressed by Ji Chengying, although he also feels very angry in his heart, but whether he is now the king of Xi or the emperor, he can't be as excited as Tang Xiaohao, he must refrain from it, because in the so-called Jiuyuan, where "the whole world is not the king's land", anything the emperor says may stir up a thousand waves.

Tang Xiaohao gently took Ji Chengying's hand and grabbed him, and then knelt down and said, "Lord Wang, I am not a sage, but I also know that the root of being a human being is conscience. In this matter that Xue Yun said, except for the martyr Guo Fu and Wang Chen's parents and children, the others have no conscience at all, especially the county commander, who is not even as good as a beast."

After saying that, Tang Xiaohao paused, looked up at Ji Chengying and said, "Lord Wang, this kind of thing shouldn't happen in this world."

The world shouldn't be like this, but it is.
