(Collect!) ）

Lin Youde's face was ashen, and he knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Lin Boyong and said, "Family master, spare me once." I can't stop the monthly routine in my room, and my wife and children in my room are counting on the monthly routine to eat. If we cut off the monthly rites in my room, we won't be able to live. ”

"Now that you are saying this, you know that the house is hard, why do you go to drink and gamble? Why don't you think about your wife and children in the room when you squander your gambling money? Before Lin Boyong could speak, Lin Quan scolded first.

"I ...... I didn't gamble. Lin Youde said in a trembling voice.

"Huh? You just pushed it and simply didn't admit anything, did you? Do you have to say that you were wronged in the house? Huang Changqing, the chief butler standing on the steps, said with a red face. He is the person in charge of recording the behavior of the Lin family's children with full authority, and he must come out to explain this.

"Li Gou'er, come out and talk back." Huang Changqing turned his head and shouted.

A small man with a thin body and two eyes skeletal hurriedly came out of the crowd of servants next to him, knelt down and kowtowed.

"Li Gou'er, this one is your report, you can tell me."

"Yes, Steward Huang, this matter is true. The villain saw Lin Youde enter the 'Nirvana Casino' at the east end of Lantern Lane that day. The villain deliberately waited for him to come out and went in to inquire about the people in the casino, and they all said that Lin Youde gambled money. How dare the villain lie, if you don't believe it, you can call Ah San in the rich casino to confront him. Li Gou'er said loudly.

"Do you hear that? Lin Youde, everything has been restored for you, if you deny it again, then you will add another sin of sophistry and deception. Lin Quan sneered.

Lin Youde's face was like ashes, and he knelt on the ground and muttered to himself: "I can't break the monthly order in my room, I can't break it, it's over." ”

"Fourth, what are you listening to him? Not sooner. Lin Ke frowned and shouted.

Lin Quan nodded, and loudly greeted several strong family members on the side: "What are you still doing?" Don't you want to be a fan of the law? ”

Several family members rushed up, grabbed Lin Youde's arm and pressed it to the stool next to him. The two black and shiny jujube sticks wrapped in red cloth were also carried out, and the next step was to start fighting.

"Wait!" Suddenly, someone screamed, and this voice made everyone present stunned. Everyone's eyes followed the sound and fell on a teenager standing in the third row. Everyone knows him, he is Lin Jue, the second son of the direct three-room concubine. But seeing Lin Jue's calm face, he slowly walked out of the queue and saluted Lin Boyong on the steps.

"Head of the house, I have something to say." Lin Juedao.

"Lin Jue, what are you doing? Confused? Do you have the qualifications to speak here? Lin Quan shouted.

Lin Jue frowned and said: "Whether or not you have the qualifications to speak must be decided by the head of the family, does the eldest brother have to be the master of the family?" ”

Lin Quan opened his mouth, and suddenly found that he couldn't refute. If you refute it, you don't want to offend the head of the family, as if you really don't take the head of the house seriously.

Lin Boyong is also a little strange, this three-room concubine himself has no special impression of him, but he also knows that he is a waste who only makes promises. On this occasion, he suddenly stood up and spoke, and the sentence just now made Lin Quan unable to deal with it, which was surprising.

The other people also felt a little strange, this three-room concubine was usually cowardly and dull, and he was an inconspicuous person, how could he actually stand out on such an occasion today?

"Lin Jue, if you have anything to say, this is the time for court training and punishment, don't disturb it." Lin Boyong said in a deep voice.

"Do you hear that? Still not quitting? Don't worry, it may be your turn in a moment. The booklet may have your name on it, but don't worry. Lin Quan shouted.

Lin Jue didn't pay attention to Lin Quan's noise, and still arched his hand to Lin Boyong and said: "Family master, it is precisely because this is the time for court discipline to reward and punish that Lin Jue feels that he has to report to the family master." If you don't say it at this time, you are not responsible for my Lin family. Because these words have a bearing on a person's reputation and innocence, on whether the Lin family's family rules are handled fairly, and thus on the reputation of the head of the family and the reputation of the Lin family. ”

"Oh?" Lin Boyong frowned, could it be that what Lin Jue was going to say was so important? Maybe it's time to hear his reasoning.

"Alarmist, don't step aside." Lin Ke, the eldest son of the long house, couldn't listen to it anymore, and reprimanded coldly on the side.

"That's it, full of gibberish, and still don't retreat." Lin Song, the second son of the long house, also reprimanded.

"Slow down, and listen to what he has to say." Lin Boyong suddenly had a hint of interest in this Lin Jue, he wanted to see what this three-room concubine was going to say today.

"Thank you, Master. Today is the day of court training, and my nephew has always believed that the monthly court training and the recitation of family rules and ancestral teachings have greatly inspired the children of my Lin family. Of course, many people don't understand the painstaking efforts of the head of the family, and they don't know that the head of the family has worked hard for the future of my Lin family, and he has taken great pains to rebuild the lintel of my Lin family, and there may be some complaints. But the nephew can understand the painstaking loneliness of the head of the family. Lin Jue said sincerely.

Lin Boyong stroked his beard and nodded slightly, and his words still sounded in his ears. Many people around me don't really understand their minds, and even their own sons, and they don't bother to explain too much to them. Unexpectedly, Lin Jue realized some truths, although not all of them were his own thoughts, but what he said was quite appropriate.

"The country has its own laws, and the family has its own rules. For the people of the country, it is natural to follow the laws of the country. In the same way, the children of my Lin family must also follow the family rules and family precepts. Those who violate the rules and laws of the family should be punished and restrained. Lin Jue continued.

"That's what you're going to say? Didn't you say that some of the words are related to the reputation of the old man and the reputation of my Lin family? These words are well known to everyone, but there is nothing unusual. Lin Boyong frowned.

Lin Jue bowed and said, "Yes, that nephew has the courage to speak." The nephew believes that the family rules must be strictly followed, and must not be crossed. However, the implementation of family rules and family laws must be fair, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public, which will affect the reputation of the family and the reputation of the head of the family. ”

Lin Boyong's face turned cold, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Lin Jue, do you mean that the old man's implementation of the Lin family's family law is unjust? ”

"What a bold man, talking nonsense, daring to slander the head of the family and the family rules and ancestors like this, come and take him." Lin Ke shouted.

The two family members stepped forward with their arms crossed and were about to make a move, Lin Jue spread his hands and said, "Family master, why did my nephew say that you did not enforce the family law properly?" My nephew was only halfway through what he said. ”

Lin Boyong waved his hand expressionlessly, and the two family members stepped aside.

You continue. Finish talking. Lin Boyong said in a deep voice.

"Thank you, Master. Family rules and family laws are the inheritance and refinement of the family for hundreds of years, and they are the condensation of the wisdom of the ancestors. The head of the family is virtuous and fair, how can he be wrong? But even so, when it comes to specific matters, it may not be completely fair. It's like the laws of the court are fair, and the officials who enforce the law are also honest and honest, but does it mean that the court will not issue unjust cases? There are some things that can not be just with the law and the law enforcers to get a just result. ”

Lin Boyong frowned and said, "What do you want to say?" ”

Lin Jue said in a deep voice: "Family master, let's take the matter of Lin Youde in front of you, Lin Youde violated the family law and should be punished by the family law." But does the head of the family know the secret? Did the head of the family ask him why he did this? Murder requires a motive, and it also requires stolen goods and conclusive evidence to be convicted, but just now, I didn't see anyone ask Lin Youde why he went to the casino, and what was the reason behind this. Just because he went to the casino to gamble money, he dealt with it bluntly, which is inevitably biased. The law of the court also pays attention to finding out the facts, not to mention the family law of my Lin family, can it be greater than the law of the court? ”

Everyone was stunned, some of the disciples nodded slightly, and some people sweated for Lin Jue. If these words are spoken, if they annoy the head of the family, I don't know what kind of punishment they will receive.

Lin Boyong frowned and thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "You mean, there is a secret in this?" We wronged him? ”

Lin Jue said quietly: "What my nephew means is that it has to be convincing. My Lin family is a big family of poetry heirlooms, and every move must not be discussed. After today, everyone will say that Lin Youde is greedy for alcohol and gambling, but it will affect his reputation for a lifetime, how can he not be cautious? ”

Lin Boyong stared at the young man standing at the bottom of the stairs in surprise. I have to say that this teenager's words are very reasonable. The process of cleaning up the house rules by himself is indeed simple and rude. This is actually in his own willingness to use thunderous means to pull the Lin family on the right track. But I did not think much about some aspects, so that I had a lot of complaints in private, and I heard about it. Perhaps, I should be as this young man said, and convince people.

"Lin Jue, if Lin Youde's matter is handed over to you, how do you do it?" Lin Boyong said in a deep voice.

Lin Jue arched his hand and said: "If the head of the family agrees with the little nephew to deal with it, I can deal with it on the spot." ”

Lin Boyong stroked his beard and said, "Okay, I want to see what you do." Fourth, you step down and let him deal with it, let's see. ”

Lin Quan was stunned and said, "Family Master, this ...... That...... Ay! All right. ”

Lin Quan glared at Lin Jue fiercely, threw the blue booklet into Lin Jue's arms very unwillingly, gritted his teeth and whispered, "You wait for me." With that, he snorted and returned to the list.
