Xiao Feng was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the starting point of Hairui's career was indeed here, the instructor of Nanping County, Fujian.

Thinking that this magistrate's sleek meeting two days ago was indeed an officialdom oilman, and when he met such a tough subordinate as Hai Rui, he was also holding back a lot of anger.

The magistrate pointed at Qin Xiucai with an excited expression: "Hai Rui, what rules do you have in mind?" The young couple are living well, and the couple is deeply in love!

But you have to force people to divorce their wives! People refuse to give up, and you have to sentence others to break off, what kind of rule are you!! ”

Hai Rui pointed to Qin Xiucai's parents and said, "Filial piety comes first!" He is the son of man, and he can't be filial to his parents, so that his parents will show their heads and kneel in court!

This official should have deprived him of his status as a showman! Reading his parents' repeated pleading, he was able to save his future, but he had to divorce his wife! ”

Xiao Feng realized that Qin Xiucai knelt down to the court as a Xiucai because his parents were kneeling, so he had to kneel. Xiucai has privileges, but Xiucai's parents have no privileges.

Qin Xiucai raised his head and protested: "Teacher, the student's death is unknown, the student's wife, Qin Chen, is gentle and virtuous, hardworking and filial, and has never committed the seven rules, why do you want to force the student to divorce his wife?" ”

The teacher is the common teacher of Xiucai in a county, so Qin Xiucai is called a teacher. What Qin Xiucai said is reasonable and well-founded, the woman has not committed the seven rules, and the man has no right to divorce his wife casually.

Qin Xiucai's mother shouted: "Little beast, you still dare to protect her!" She married into my Qin family for three years and didn't come out, why isn't it a seven-out rule? ”

Qin Xiucai was scolded by his mother and had the heart to defend, but seeing Hai Rui glaring at him, as long as he spoke, it didn't matter if he was right or wrong

, Hai Rui will inevitably be furious, so he has to look at the county with a pleading gaze.

Zhixian slapped the table: "Ignorant fool! How is that the rule of the seven out of the law so prescribed? In the Tang Dynasty, it was said that a woman could divorce her wife only if she was over forty-nine years old and had nothing to do!

In my Ming Dynasty, although there is no such detailed regulation, it is impossible to limit it to three years! Hai Rui, you are familiar with etiquette, yes or no? ”

Hai Rui nodded slightly, he is very serious about the rules, although at this time he is contrary to the opinion of the magistrate, but he will never cheat on the rules.

Qin Xiucai's mother was speechless for a moment, and looked at her husband for help, Qin Xiucai's father coughed and spoke slowly.

"Two adults, don't hide it from each other, although my daughter-in-law has a small mistake, she doesn't have to take a break. The two adults don't hurt the harmony for the sake of my family, and the grass people are too guilty. ”

The onlookers nodded one after another, and Xiao Feng also smiled, it seems that the old saying is really good, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are the natural enemy, and the family is always much more tolerant.

Qin Xiucai's mother was furious, reached out and grabbed her husband's arm, and looked at her husband with threatening eyes, Qin Xiucai's father had no choice but to reluctantly speak.

"The grass people are people from the countryside, and they don't know much about etiquette, but I have heard that the Lord is a filial son, and he is familiar with the law of etiquette, so I implore the Lord to be the master of the law for us!"

Xiao Feng raised his eyebrows slightly, this old man looked wilted, but in fact, he really did things, and he was very orderly, but he was much more powerful than his wife who only knew how to shout. At least he knows how to use Hai Jui's principles.

Hai Rui nodded and said proudly: "There are seven women: one is disobedient to his parents, and he is against morality; the second has no heirs, and it is peerless;

Three prostitutions, for their chaotic clan also

； four jealousy, for its troubled family; Fifth, there are evil diseases, so they cannot be co-prosperous;

Six more words, for their relatives; Seven thefts, for its antisense also. ”

This is something that everyone can recite at that time, even if Zhang Deaf comes, he can't translate any messy things.

Simply translated: a disobedient to parents refers to the wife's disobedience to her husband's parents, and the etiquette law considers it to be "against virtue", which is the first of the seven.

2. No heirs: that is, they cannot have sons, and the reason is "peerless". Needless to say, there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great. But as the county said, you can't just marry and go home for two or three years, and then conclude that people can't give birth, are you an old Chinese medicine doctor?

Three prostitutions: That is, the wife has a leg with the old king next door, and the reason is that it is a "chaotic clan". This angle is more strange, and it is actually thought that it will cause the origin or generation of the children to be unknown, and the family blood will be confused! I feel disdainful of my husband's feelings about cuckolding!

Four jealousy: Saying that the wife is jealous, the reason is "chaotic family", thinking that the wife's jealousy will cause family discord. Funnily enough, this charge is usually used when a husband wants to take a concubine and his wife is unhappy.

Five Serious Diseases: The wife is suffering from a serious illness. The reason is that "it is not possible to share the prosperity", which means that you cannot participate in the sacrifice together. In fact, the real reason is generally that his wife can't work anymore, so he has to say it in the name of his ancestors, shameless.

Six words in many words: The wife likes to chew her tongue and say right and wrong, which affects family harmony, and the reason is "separation". According to this standard, 90 percent of the female gossip sect descendants are now unqualified.

Seven thefts: The wife steals. The reason is "antithetical" and does not conform to the rules that should be followed.

This is the most puzzling rule, in your own home, steal a yarn? Stealing people?

Hai Rui said word by word: "Among the seven rules, even if one of the childless ones is not counted for the time being, but the first one is not obedient to the parents, and it will always be impossible to run!" What is wrong with this judge sentencing you to divorce your wife? ”

Qin Xiucai protested: "The teacher's words, the students are not convinced!" The student's wife is gentle and virtuous, respectful to her in-laws, and everyone in the neighborhood knows it, how to force her disobedience to her parents? ”

Hai Rui said coldly: "People's hearts are flesh and blood, how can there be a daughter-in-law who is disliked by all obedience?" If a father and son are not imprisoned, are there no parents who are not?

If you read poetry and books in vain and disobey your parents for a woman, if this woman is really filial, she should take the initiative to ask for leave to protect her husband's filial piety and the reputation of her in-laws.

Nothing can be done at all, not only is it not smooth, but it is also suspected of being divisive! If you have committed two of the seven rules, what is wrong with this official sentencing you to divorce your wife? ”

Zhixian glanced at the back hall with a weak heart, and a woman with a bracelet in the back hall stretched out her index finger and pointed at Zhixian strongly, as if giving Zhixian infinite courage.

"Hai Jui! You're a strong word! You are foolish and filial, in order to please your mother, divorce your wife for no reason, do you still want everyone in the world to be like you? ”

Hai Rui sneered: "My lord, why are you protecting the Qin Chen clan? Isn't it because you're afraid of guilt? Mrs. Zun and Ling Tang do not have a good relationship, are you afraid that this case will start and affect Mrs. Zun! ”

The two officials were arguing in the hall and refused to give in to each other; The little two were teary-eyed and wept silently; The old couple exchanged glances and had an ambiguous attitude.

On the contrary, everyone ignored Qin Xiucai's father-in-law, Qin Chen's father, and was honest

He knelt on the ground on the furthest part, bowing his head and saying nothing.

Xiao Feng took advantage of the lively fight in the hall, no one paid attention to the old man, squeezed to the side, and asked in a low voice, "Do you want your daughter to be taken home?" ”

The old man looked up and saw Xiao Feng in a white robe, wearing a Confucian crown, dressed as a showman, and did not dare to slack off, so he replied in a bitter face and whispered.

"My wife has been dead for many years, and the villain and his son are both from the Zhuang family, and they don't understand the etiquette law.

If the in-laws refuse to be compatible, the master will be sentenced, and the villain will be raised at home. It's just a poor daughter, and her uncle has always been harmonious, alas......"

Xiao Feng whispered: "I'll be your lawyer, how about helping you reason?" ”

The old man hesitated: "The villain doesn't have much money, is it okay to have a few hundred dollars?" I know that a lawyer will need at least a tael of silver......"

Xiao Feng smiled and said loudly to the two officials who were arguing in the hall: "The lawyer invited by Chen Laohan is below, can you allow the next word?" ”

The magistrate was arguing with Hai Rui and his face was red, and when he heard the words, he looked up, recognized Xiao Feng at a glance, and was so frightened that he almost fell off the back of the case, and opened his mouth reflexively: "Big ......"

Xiao Feng glared at him and shook his head slightly, Na Zhixian was really a slippery guy, it was difficult for him to react quickly, so he immediately changed his words.

"Big ...... Courage, we two officials reason, what are you talking about? ”

Hai Rui glanced at Zhixian and said in his heart What are you lacking in heart, since ancient times, you are not afraid of arguing! At that moment, Zhengse said: "Since you are a lawyer, what is the reason, say it!" ”

Xiao Feng arched his hand: "Master Teaching, according to what you said, if your wife is not obedient, she is the first of the seven, so if you violate the rule of the seven, whose right is it to divorce your wife?" ”

Hai Rui said lightly

"It is the husband's right to divorce his wife." But if the husband refuses, the parents can sue him for disobedience and unfilial piety! ”

Xiao Feng smiled: "Have you read it?" ”

The hall was in an uproar, these words are too insulting, a court edict, you ask him if he has read it, it is equivalent to modern society, you ask the director of the county education bureau: Have you learned how much is one plus one?

Hai Rui was also furious in his heart, but he didn't want to waste his lips and tongue with Xiao Feng on such a trivial matter, so he looked at him coldly: "Naturally, I have read it." ”

"Do you agree with what you say? People say that the three-character scripture is in line with the etiquette, but I don't know what the adults think. ”

Hai Rui is a teacher of the imperial court, not only Guan Xiucai, but also the enlightenment of children and the management of private schools are also within the scope of his work, Xiao Feng asked this, he naturally couldn't help but answer.

"Although the text is simple, it is the essence of etiquette, and it is the best article of my generation of scholars who were enlightened in their childhood!"

Xiao Feng said with a smile: "My lord just said that there are parents in the world, so may I ask, what does it mean to 'raise or not teach, the father's fault'?" ”

Zhixian's eyes lit up, no wonder people said that Lord Xiao's tongue was like a sharp blade, and his mouth was like a steel knife, and he had never won a debate with Hai Rui, heaven, earth, Lord Xiao quickly helped me out of this breath!

Hai Rui was stunned, and then said: "This is a word of encouragement to parents, not to mention, even if the parents are wrong, they are also blamed by others, but there is no room for children to object!" Otherwise, it is unfilial! ”

Xiao Feng nodded: "You admit that your parents are also at fault, but your children have no right to blame, that's fine." The adult just said that Qin Xiucai has the right to divorce his wife, but his parents did not.

If Qin Xiucai died

If he refuses to divorce his wife, his parents will accuse him of disobedience. I want to ask, Qin Xiucai, do you want to divorce your wife? ”

Qin Xiucai saw that he had come to help, and his spirit was also lifted, and he shook his head again and again: "The student and the lady have a deep relationship, and they don't want to divorce their wives!" ”

Xiao Feng looked at Qin Xiucai's parents again: "Your son refuses to divorce his wife, do you want to sue him for disobedience?" ”

Qin Xiucai's father hesitated, you must know that in this era, disobedience is not a good reputation. Although it is not as severe as the Song Dynasty, and it is necessary to kill the head, but it is certain that it will be punished and famous.

But Qin Xiucai's mother was very tough: "If the little beast refuses, I will sue him for disobedience!" ”

Xiao Feng smiled: "Excuse me, how many sons do you have?" ”

Qin Xiucai's mother looked Xiao Feng up and down: "It's just this one, how about it?" ”

Xiao Feng said with a smile: "Your son has been sentenced to disobedience, lost his fame, and ruined his reputation, it is estimated that it will be difficult to marry a wife again." ”

Qin Xiucai's mother was full of energy: "That's my own business!" Don't worry about it! ”

Xiao Feng nodded and turned to Hai Rui: "My lord, if Qin Xiucai is accused of disobedience, it is estimated that it will be extremely difficult to marry a wife in the future, not to mention that Qin Xiucai may not be willing to marry again."

In this way, the Qin family will be extinct, and the so-called unfilial piety has three, and no queen is the greatest. Qin Xiucai refused to divorce his wife, and his unfilial piety was only to his parents.

The parents of the Qin family forced their son to divorce his wife and sued his son for disobedience, which led to the extinction of the Qin family, and his unfilial piety was to the ancestors of the Qin family.

May I ask my lord, which of these two unfilial pieties is heavier? ”

This one...... No one has ever bothered about this before! Hai Rui frowned, trying to decipher the question from his own professionalism

。

"You lawyer, you are very slippery! His parents sued him for disobedience because Qin Xiu refused to divorce his wife. Therefore, whether it is the last or the unfilial, all the charges on his parents should be borne by Qin Xiucai! ”

Xiao Feng nodded and smiled: "However, his parents knew that what they did would lead to such consequences, but they insisted on going their own way, are they filial to their ancestors?"

They could have avoided this incident, but they had no room for it, and blindly criticized and pushed, striving for the result of their ancestors cutting off the incense.

Qin Xiucai, as a child, can't object to this matter, but adults, you are a bystander, just now you said that others can be blamed, should you blame it? ”

Hai Rui knew that this was a dead loop, so he and Xiao Feng went around, but he was afraid that he would not be able to finish the circle until Jiajing ascended to immortal, so he simply cut through the mess quickly.

"Lawyer, don't forget that this official, as an edict, can make judgments on behalf of the imperial court. This official will neither judge Qin Xiucai for disobedience, nor will he remove his reputation, but only sentence the two of them to leave righteously! ”

Xiao Feng looked at Hai Rui and said lightly: "My lord is familiar with the etiquette law, when the prefect's government sentences him to leave without punishment, he needs to have one of the crimes of beating, scolding, killing, injuring, and raping his relatives within five suits, which one did Qin Chen commit?" ”

Hai Rui was speechless for a while, and was muttering to himself, Qin Xiucai's mother shouted: "She scolded me and beat me, my father-in-law can testify!" ”

Old man Qin glanced at his wife in surprise, forced by his wife's eyes, and nodded helplessly.

Hai Rui's expression relaxed, and he looked at Xiao Feng, meaning, what else do you have to say?

Xiao Feng's tone became even lighter: "My lord, don't you need evidence for this matter?" ”

Hai Rui shook his head and said: "Father and son are not imprisoned, and parents say that their children's mistakes are still to be allowed."

What evidence do parents say? What's more, if there is no trace of the beating and scolding, how can we provide evidence? ”

Xiao Feng was furious, and said in his heart that you are going to play hooligan! I have heard in the past that although Hai Rui is a Qing official, he is a foolish and filial piety, innocent divorced his wife, and his concubine hanged himself.

Xiao Feng smiled faintly: "My lord, whether it's the seven-out rule, or the righteous judgment and separation, I remember that I can't cross the three-out rule, right?" ”

Hai Rui was stunned: "But Qin Chen's family doesn't meet the rule of three no-goes!" ”

Three don't go, is a clause corresponding to the seven, and it is also one of the few clauses in ancient times to protect women.

One go: The wife has kept the mourning period for her deceased in-laws for three years: this means that the deceased father and mother have approved the daughter-in-law, and the husband dares to divorce his wife again, it is unfilial.

But at this time, the two old guys were all alive, so they naturally did not meet this rule.

2. Don't go: When you married your wife, your family was poor and lowly, but now you are rich: this means that your daughter-in-law is also the original shareholder of your wealth accumulation, why do you say that you will be deprived of equity if you say that you will be deprived of equity?

But looking at the clothes of Qin Xiucai's family, they are only medium-sized families, and they are not poor before they want to come, so they should not meet this article.

Three don't go: the wife, parents, and family are scattered, and they may be homeless after being divorced: after the woman is divorced, if she is homeless, there will be trouble, and any dynasty wants social stability.

But Qin Chen's father and brother are still alive, and there is no problem of homelessness, so this article does not meet the requirements.

Hai Rui didn't know what Xiao Feng's intention was to propose the three not to go at this time, because it was obvious that Qin Chen's three did not match, he thought that Xiao Feng was poor in donkey skills, and he began to make trouble unreasonably.

Xiao Feng walked up to Old Man Chen and bent down to look at him cordially

Looking at Chen Laohan, Chen Laohan looked confused, not knowing what this lawyer was going to do.

Want money? Is the lawsuit over? It seems that he is doomed, so how much money should he give him, at his level......

Chen Laohan felt that his elbow was caught, and a strong force made him unable to control his arm, and he involuntarily picked it up.

With a "snap", a slap mark appeared on Xiao Feng's fair face, and he staggered back two steps while covering his face.

Chen Laohan was shocked, although he was not very satisfied with this lawyer, he really didn't want to slap him, what is the situation!

Xiao Feng slowly stood up straight, pointed at Chen Laohan and said, "You dare to beat the imperial court officials, you are so bold!" ”
