He ran back and forth between the county town and Chengguoqu. The clothes of Fifth Lun were covered with dust raised by horse hooves, and the towel was also crooked, and the wind blew towards him and his cheeks were a little blue.

But his aura was not weaker than his grandfather. He walked forward with great strides, bowed to the fifth domineering first, and shouted: "Big Father, the child is back from the county magistrate!"

The fifth ba immediately understood and replied loudly: "What's the matter magistrate looking for you?"

When he heard this, he was still yelling that the seventh family, who wanted the three families to go to the village to find a judge, had temporarily calmed down.

But Wu Lun just smiled and said nothing. He had learned from the clan that he had just passed by. After sorting out his clothes, he stared at the seventh brothers and said righteously: "Seventh Family, don't you know your mistake?"

The seventh leopard wiped the blood, pulled a few leaves and rolled them into his nostrils, which seemed particularly funny, but the man didn't remember the pain and jumped up again. Seeing that the fifth rein was not tall, he said in a muffled voice: "Huangkouruzi's tone is not small. Should you, a child, take care of your affairs?"

"A coincidence, I can really control it."

The fifth reunion took down the object tied to his waist, and the eyes of the seventh brothers lit up: it seemed like a square seal was cut in half and was rectangular, so it was called a half-tong seal, which was held by a low-level minor official, with the words "Linqu filial piety and brotherhood" written on it.

"Just just now, I was just promoted to Linqu Township Xiaozi by the county priest!"

Everyone was stunned, but they were not too surprised. After all, this was filial piety and brotherly love, not filial piety and honesty.

It is amazing that filial and honest officials are the right way to go. There is only one quota in the county every year, which is much more difficult than entering the Imperial Academy. Once recommended, they can go directly to the court without taking the exam. After one or two years in the capital, the worst is that the county magistrate was 400-shi county magistrate, and the majority are 600-shi county magistrates.

Filial piety is far from that, it is just an honorary title. It is recommended that those with virtue in the county be elected as early as the previous dynasty Emperor Wen of Han. As the deputy of the three elders of the village, they were not even paid a fixed salary. In the Yuancheng period, under the leadership of Prime Minister Kuang Heng, filial piety "restored", that is, exemption of labor taxes and taxes, and there were two or three pieces of cloth rewards during festivals, that is, there were no rewards for two or three pieces of cloth during festivals. That's all.

Compared with the two, one is the pride of heaven and the other is the local education minion, which is too big.

However, although filial piety and brotherhood have no real power, they are indispensable. From the Han Dynasty and Yuancheng period to the Xin Dynasty, for decades, they have governed the country with virtue, and used filial piety and brotherhood as the teacher of the people. They have regarded these people as moral models to promote them and called on the people to learn from them.

What are the things that brothers fight for property, husbands and wife quarrels, fathers and sons have a gap, and these officials in the government are not convenient to manage things that they don’t want to manage, so the three elders and filial piety come forward to resolve, and they are considered mediators in the Han Dynasty.

This is the job arranged by the county priest Xian Yubao to the fifth reunion, which just happened to be a good reputation for his help and learning.

The fifth reunion was so tough: "The Seventh clan, there is only one way before you now!"

"Listen to my advice and my father, this matter was settled privately, and the two families made a covenant to restore the divergence of previous years."

"If I don't want to, I don't have to bother the village man. I will report this matter to the county magistrate and sue the county court directly."

Seeing that Di Wu Lun also brought out his "backer", the surprise on Di Qi Biao's face slowly disappeared, and he even wanted to laugh.

"This child is indeed young. He thought he could give orders to me by doing a little filial piety. He didn't know how strong my relationship with the county is."

If there is no channel, where does the iron weapon in the hands of the Seventh clan come from? How could he be rampant in the village for more than ten years without officials causing trouble for his family? If he did not say hello to the county water officials in advance, how could he dare to compete with the Sixth clan openly?

Furthermore, as the pavilion chief, Di Qibiao often goes to the county town and has a few meals to the county magistrate. Xian Yu Bao has bribes received from Di Qi every year!

So he said: "Little filial piety and tidy have a good idea. Since I can't explain it clearly here, it's okay to go to the county temple!"

Wu Lun sneered: "Di Qibiao, have you figured it out clearly. You must have a lawsuit in court?"

"If you complain, just complain." Di Qibiao continued to hold on. In his opinion, there was no difference between this matter in the village or county. Isn't it just a matter of whom has more power and the county magistrate tends to help? With his family's relationship and the first family's help, he is not afraid at all. Di Fifth Reunion moved out of the county magistrate, who should he scare?

"Good, great kindness."

After looking back, Wu Lun suddenly laughed.

"Actually, I have reported the matter to the county magistrate. You might as well see what the county magistrate said first."

It was not until this time that Wu Lun pulled out the wooden slip on his waist. The one on it was not a semi-sealed seal, but a bright red county magistrate’s seal!

Qibiao took the wooden slip in a daze. Before he could read the words on it, he heard the sound of horse hooves approaching. The onlookers were separated. Several officials in black clothes and black crowns walked in with swords. The head was the county's water officials with a black face.

It turned out that the fifth reunion came with the Dushui official, but he deliberately stepped forward a few steps in order to make a trap for the seventh reunion.

The fifth reunion immediately went over and the evil man complained first: "Dushui, I showed Di Qibiao the county priest Jian, but he was unwilling to obey the orders and threatened to go to the county to argue."

"Bold!" The Dushui official was furious when he heard the word "compensation" and pointed at Di Qibiao and said, "Seventh Pavilion Chief, are you going to violate the orders of the county magistrate?"

Qi Biao pinched the Jian in his hand and was stunned, and he stammered: "Du Shui, he... the fifth uncle Yu just gave me this thing, but I hadn't had time..."

"Shut up!" The Dushui official was not patient and was even more afraid that the Qibiao would say too much and make mistakes. He told them out the dirty things between them and immediately repeated the county magistrate's order.

"The Seventh Family and the Sixth Family immediately stopped fighting for water and resumed the Old Testament in previous years!"

Qibiao was shocked: "The superior official cannot listen to the child's words. I want to meet the county magistrate, and I want to explain to him..."

"The county lord really wants to see you." The Dushui official shouted: "The seventh Biao, the sixth calf, you and the two of you immediately went to the county town to apologize to the county priest for today's affairs! He also made a vow that he would not dare to fight again after death!"

The sixth calf was still stunned and was stepped on by the fifth domineering. Then he realized and agreed happily.

Although I don’t understand why my family clearly had to apologize to the county magistrate together, the process didn’t matter, and the result was the most important. It would be a good thing to make the Seventh clan unable to compete with his family for water.

Seeing that Di Qibiao was still alive, the Dushui official could only wink at him: "How much is it? A moment later, your pavilion chief's seal will be gone!"

Qibiao could only grit his teeth, lower his head to the water official in the capital, and responded: "Promise!"

...

After the Dushui official took the seventh and sixth heads of the family, the battle for snail horns was finally over.

The fifth bald waved to let Di Wu Lun come over, first glanced at his half-toned seal, which was indeed true, and then asked in a low voice: "Lun'er, how did you make the county priest one-sided?"

Ask yourself, although he and the father of the county priest are old, who has no friendship with the county priest? Why are they standing by their side today? It is impossible to appreciate the fifth relationship.

The fifth reunion said: "Big Father, I just described the ordinary two-mile battle for water as a brother and clan struggle, and even exaggerated that it would cause death."

The Fifth Domineer also worked as a village official. After thinking about it carefully, he understood the reason and laughed: "I am worthy of being my grandson, and I am indeed smart."

In this era, harmony and intimacy between clan brothers is a virtue of filial piety and brotherhood, and it is worthy of praise. What is the fight between brothers?

A great humiliation! It is not only from the family, but also from the local officials.

The fifth tyrant remembers one thing - during the reign of Emperor Xuan of Han in the previous dynasty, Han Yanshou served as Zuo Fengyi, and the jurisdiction was the current two counties of Lieutenant and Shiwei. When Han Yanshou was in the county, he encountered two brothers suing for land and property. Han Yanshou believed that the reason why such brothers fought for money occurred was because he failed to educate the people well, so he gave up government affairs and thought about his mistakes behind closed doors.

The king was humiliated by the ministers, which made the officials, the sluts, the three elders, and the filial piety and brotherhood in the county feel guilty and all tied up and apologized. Under the pressure of the clan, the brothers who were suing the lawsuit also expressed their recognition of their mistakes and deeply remorse. They apologized to Han Yanshou and were willing to give the land to the other party, but they dared not fight again after death.

This incident was rumored to be a good story and also made a bad news - it was set as a benchmark by the court.

After the founding of the New Dynasty, the world was governed according to the Confucian and moral standards, and the struggles of relatives were regarded as a sign of corruption in education.

This is also the reason why the three elders have the two positions of filial piety and brotherhood. Once there is a clue of disputes between relatives, they will immediately send someone to persuade them and never go to court. If they do not persuade them to make trouble, then the county magistrate and the husband will be miserable. They will either blame themselves or be scolded by their superiors.

The fifth reunion is good at observing and learning. He has gradually figured out the preferences and principles of people in this era: all laws and principles stand aside, and morality comes first!

If everything can be covered with a layer of skin that conforms to Confucian benevolence, then everything will be invincible.

Sure enough, when he described this incident as a clan brother fighting for water, the county priest Xianyu Bao suddenly turned black.

No matter how much benefit the Seventh Family had won in the past, once it affected the county magistrate's official career, it would be difficult to talk to him no matter how close he was, so he immediately sent someone to order the Seventh Family to stop fighting for water.

Wu Lun only shook his head: "I don't understand one thing. The seventh Biao is a food tyrant. He should know some secret rules of the law. Why didn't he think of this?"

"He really didn't expect it." The Fifth Domineer knew the two brothers better than him: "People are different. The Seventh Family is not happy to study, is brave and cruel to officials, does not study the laws and regulations well, and does not know the affairs of the county. In addition, he has long since stopped treating the Sixth Family as a relative and bullied them wantonly, which has violated this taboo."

At this time, they saw a few people wading from the south of Chengguoqu, but they were the eighth-class father and son. These two had been watching the play for an afternoon and were watching the taste on the wall. What are you doing now?

The grandparents and grandson looked at each other, and the fifth domineering lips curled, shouting from a distance: "The eighth straight, you are finally here. I wonder why there is no sign. It turned out that it took a few hours to pass the canal? Is it a good thing that has it been surging?

The Eighth Zhi was a little embarrassed, while the Eighth Jiao bowed to the Fifth Lun, curious about how he successfully repelled the Seventh Brothers.

The fifth reunion only showed the seal of filial piety and brotherhood, and smiled and said, "There is nothing else, you can win people with virtue!"

The eighth Jiao believed it and admired the fifth reunion even more: "The Master said that the virtues of a gentleman, the virtues of a villain, and the wind on the grass will surely silence. The gentleman here is talking about Boyu."

Bazhi had no choice but to praise him intentionally: "Yes, Boyu can be said to be the wind on the grass in his hometown."

What grass is on the wind, I still fly on the grass!

The eighth straight icing technique on the cake is indeed great. He reminded the fifth reunion very considerately: "Since Boyu has become a village official, although he has no orders and no income, no matter what, he should go to the township to report tomorrow. It is better to meet the three elders with the husband and the three elders."

The eighth straight is to suggest that the head of the first family, the head of the first family, has always been narrow-minded. The fifth family has been so high-profile recently, and has beaten the seventh brother of the evil dog raised by the second family. Enemies should be resolved rather than to make acquaintances. The fifth family should lower their attitude. After all, if they are filial piety and brotherly, they will become subordinates of the second family, so be careful that their family will hinder the fifth family.

The fifth reunion was dissatisfied with the matter, and the fifth domineering people asked the people of the middle tribe to go back, but he said there was still something to do, not the towns in the east, but the county town in the north.

The fifth boss was puzzled: "You still have to go to the county town? What should you do?"

The small half-pass seal was used as a toy by the fifth reunion and was swung on his fingertips: "What else can I do? Naturally, I will return this small seal to the county magistrate, and then..."

Wu Lun smiled happily: "Resign!"
