The great elder looked at Zuer who was sitting in the chair and opened his mouth, but in the end he said nothing.
This girl had the temperament of a rebellious general a few days ago, but now she looks like a king with the power of life and death.
With one wrong step and another wrong step, they had pushed her to the high platform, and others took the opportunity to occupy her. It would not be easy to pull her down again.
The great elder asked someone to hand over the dossier, cleared his throat and said, "Zhang Ruiyu has confessed that it was his father-in-law Zhang Fushi who hooked up with the Wang family.
Zhang Fushi was very stubborn and couldn't ask anything, but the members of the Wang family might have been frightened out of their wits, and actually confessed a lot of useful information.
Zhang Ruiyu's wife, Zhang Qiaoniang, was born to Zhang Fushi and a woman from the Wang family. The real Zhang Qiaoniang was replaced when she was two years old.
Even Zhang Fushi's wife died in childbirth because of his own actions.
He was forced by his parents to marry and consummate his wife, and he always had resentment in his heart.
The coward did not dare to challenge the authority of his parents or disobey the clan rules, so he vented his hatred on his wife and daughter.
After his wife died, the child was raised by his mother, and he would never take a look.
Later, when the child was two years old, his mother died, so he looked for an opportunity to exchange the child born to Zhang Qiaoniang and his daughter from the Wang family.
Zhang Qiaoniang didn't inherit Qilin blood and no one paid attention to her, so she didn't even know she had been replaced.
Later, the fake grew up and married Zhang Ruiyu, and the fool became obsessed with him.
She has known about her life experience since she was a child, and her father and she have been passing information to the Wang family over the years.
The saint girl appeared in the Zhang family and they couldn't sit still, so they rebelled. "
Zuer sneered and clapped, "Wonderful, so talented.
There are policies from above and countermeasures from below. There should be many such little cuckoos in our clan.
I'm guessing that many of the rebels this time should be of Wang family descent.
They may not want to rebel, but what the Zhang family cannot tolerate most is mixed blood.
As long as their identity is exposed, they will die, so it is better to give it a try.
Great Elder, am I right? "
The great elder sighed and nodded decadently.
This time the rebels had several juniors whom he was very optimistic about, and he really couldn't imagine why those people rebelled.
Now it seems that it was just a trick of fate. They should have been quite shattered when they learned about their life experience.
Zuer snorted coldly, "No matter what the reason, Zhang Ruiyu's family crime is unforgivable.
There was also his wife Zhang Qiaoniang, two branch leaders, and these six die-hard deputies who were hanged in the square three days later.
Zhang Fushi killed his wife in exchange for a daughter and betrayed the clan. His behavior was bad and his character was despicable.
Anyone else who maliciously confuses the bloodline will be removed from the family tree regardless of whether they are alive or not.
The still living ones were killed, and the dead ones were thrown out of the ancient Zhang family building.
The Wang family who grew up in the Zhang family has been a spy killer.
If you have never been a spy and are willing to be loyal to the Zhang family, you will be temporarily detained. I have other arrangements.
The accomplices of this rebellion, who were coerced by others, were excusable, so they were given fifty pay, and their treatment was reduced to three grades and they were retained.
Each person was fined five hundred taels and sentenced to one year of hard labor to serve as a warning to others!
Everyone, do you have anything to add? "
The people below looked at each other, you looked at me, I looked at you, and finally it was the Great Elder who took the lead and said, "Rebellion is a serious crime, so it is a mercy not to harm your family.
Is the punishment a bit too light? "
Zuer twisted his hair and glanced at the elder, "I also think it's too light, so it should be chopped off!
But look at the current Zhang family, how many young men can resist such a waste?
For a child to be able to perform tasks from birth to adulthood, not to mention the efforts of his parents, our clan also consumes countless resources.
Don't you think it's a waste to kill just as you say?
It would have been fine if the branches and leaves were luxuriant in the past, but look at it, now weasels are less likely to lay a litter of mice than a litter of mice.
In the past, the Qilin couple could have four or five children, but now they can only have two or three.
Will there be fewer and fewer children in the next generation?
There are dozens of Qilins here, and a big family and a big business cannot afford to be so prodigal.
Now that we have talked about it, let’s discuss Zhang Xingyue’s question together.
Clan rules are formulated for the better development of the family, but your sword from the top of the Ming Dynasty cannot cut down the officials of the Qing Dynasty.
This thing has to keep pace with the times, you know?
The rules set by our ancestors at that time were good, but they may not apply to future generations.
The ancestors of the Zhang family still believed that the body's hair and skin are connected to its parents. When the Manchus entered the country, didn't you also shave your tail?
So if you have to adapt, you have to adapt.
At that time, the Zhang family had many people and strong fertility, so there was nothing wrong with the ancestors not being allowed to marry foreigners!
Now that the Zhang family's population has dropped sharply, they are still sticking to the same tactics. Do they want to wait for the extinction of the family?
The Zhang family has always had strong yang and weak yin, and there are fewer and fewer women with Qilin blood.
If you continue like this, it will lead to genocide and inbreeding. Which one is not a disaster? "
The elder immediately retorted, "Not marrying with foreign races is not just for blood, we Zhangjiagang people are different.
Many secrets are coveted by others. If you rashly marry a foreigner, there is no guarantee that Xiao Qiang will not be harmed. "
Zuer nodded, "There are indeed concerns in this regard, so we have to come up with a solid plan.
The Zhang family's Qilin is in love, and if he is really seduced by a foreign woman with bad intentions, it will be easy for him to do something harmful to the family.
But if you make a one-size-fits-all approach, wouldn’t you also be driving your own children and grandchildren to a dead end?
Family, family, family first, then clan!
What the family should bring to the clan members is safety and belonging, with support for the elderly and support for the young. Only when they are bullied outside can they have the support of the family. Only then can the clan members return to their hearts.
The Zhang family has secrets that cannot be known by outsiders, so bring the other person back to the family.
Is there no secret medicine in the clan that can make people lose their memory? Or is it because the Zhang family Qilin can't afford the alimony of the other party's parents?
Whether selfish or immoral, it is not easy to cultivate Zhangjia Qilin, it must know how to cherish it. "
Zuer turned to look at Zhang Xingyue again, "The Zhang family is young and handsome in their seventies and eighty, but your wife will be an old woman with chicken skin and gray hair.
Of course, if you love her now, you will do whatever you want. When she is old and mature and you are in your prime, will you really not make the choice you have now? "
Zhang Xingyue's voice trembled with excitement, and he promised eagerly, "No, I will never give up."
Zuer curled her lips disdainfully, "A man's guarantee can only mean so much. I hope you won't regret it!"
Then he said to the Great Elder and the others, "Why don't we set a precedent with Zhang Xingyue.
The heirs of the Zhang family could not live outside, so they first blindfolded the woman and brought her in. After the child was born, the elders personally supervised her and drank medicine to wash away her memory.
If her parents have many children, Zhang Xingyue will give them a sum of money and tell them that their daughter will not come back after marrying far away.
If you are an only child, you can find a way to arrange it for someone else to take care of her in her old age.
With a wife and children living in the clan, there is no need to worry about this kid having an affair! "
As soon as this was said, everyone thought about it, and it seemed to make sense.
The Zhang family's Qilin girls are few and far between, so wouldn't it be better to have fewer competitors?
The elders are also weighing the pros and cons. First, Zhang Zuer obviously wants to protect Zhang Xingyue in this matter, so they probably won't get much advantage if they go against each other.
Secondly, Zhang Xingyue was the son of the ancestor's clan leader after all, so it seemed too cruel to kill the clan by cutting off his hands.
With the change of dynasty and the changes in current affairs, young people's minds are becoming more and more lively. It is difficult for them to implement some of the more stringent clan rules. It is better to let this saint girl take the lead in revising them.
Even if there is a problem, it is not their fault!
Seeing that no one jumped out to object, Zuer smiled brightly, "Since everyone agrees, then the matter is settled.
Amitabha, saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. Why am I so kind! "
Zhang Jinzhou was also in debt. Seeing his ancestor chanting Buddha's name, he asked, "The saint also believes in Buddhism? Who is the Bodhisattva she worships?"
Zuer smiled mysteriously, "Namo Gatling Bodhisattva!"
