Du Xingwang still couldn't defeat Du Shuting, so he could only turn the car around and head towards the original house.
When they arrived at the door, Du Shuting hadn't come down yet, so she looked at the jade fronts on the left and right of the door, and couldn't help but ask Du Xingwang: "Xingwang, where are the two golden peach trees at the door?"
"It has been gone for a long time. When the other party moved in, they uprooted the golden peach tree." Du Xingwang said.
When Du Shuting heard this, her eyes turned red. The golden peach trees here were planted by her parents. At that time, she had just advanced to foundation building. The gift from others was a few golden peaches. After tasting it, she liked it very much.
So her father specially planted two for herself. When she came back this time, she planned to taste them, but she didn't expect that they had already been dug up.
"Aunt, are you okay?" Du Xingwang looked at Du Shuting, feeling a little worried.
"Xingwang, you are really useless, go to the injustice bell." Du Shuting said coldly.
"Auntie, this... if you want to sound the grievance bell, the matter will become a big deal." At this time, Du Xingwang was not only worried, but also scared.
"Go!" Du Shuting shouted directly.
Du Xingwang gritted his teeth and could only turn the car around again.
The injustice bell has a history of tens of thousands of years in the Du family. It was specially set up by an ancestor of the Du family long ago before he went through the tribulation. He was afraid that if he failed to overcome the tribulation, after his death, the people of the Du family would be unfair, so he set up this thing.
If you feel that you have been insulted, you can ring the grievance bell. However, you cannot ring the grievance bell casually. Once it is rung, you will be punished if there is no grievance or false accusation. In addition, even if you really succeed in calling the grievance, you will still need to bear the food of thousands of insects.
The punishment of marrow poison can be regarded as a way to avoid having to complain about even the smallest things.
When the carriage arrived under the injustice bell that stood in the center of Du's house, Du Shuting flew out of the carriage and reached the tower where the injustice bell was stored. Then she picked up the golden hammer and struck the injustice bell directly.
The disciples of the Du family who were on duty in the tower suddenly heard it and immediately ran out and shouted: "Don't ring the injustice bell at will. What are you doing?"
"Of course you can't ring the grievance bell casually. When I ring it, I have to ring the grievance bell." Du Shuting shouted to the children of the Du family on duty.
Seeing Du Shuting, the boys on duty seemed to recognize her, so one of them immediately went out to report, while Du Shuting was standing under the tower waiting.
After a while, Du Shuting arrived at the Du family ancestral hall. An elder in the transformation stage was alerted here, and there were also many other people from the Du family, including several elders from the Law Enforcement Hall.
"Who sounded the injustice bell?" the Du family elder, who looked to be in his forties, asked as he looked at the two people who were brought over.
"It's me!" Du Shuting admitted proactively.
"Who are you?" This elder had been in seclusion before and had never seen Du Shuting. He looked to the left and right and asked the elders of the Law Enforcement Hall who came over.
"Elder Huaiyong, her name is Du Shuting, she is the daughter of Du Ji, who died a hundred years ago." Du Shuting, the natural elder of the Law Enforcement Hall, immediately explained.
"Oh, so you are an orphan, why are you ringing the injustice bell?" Du Huaiyong asked.
"My family has been unfair to me. After the death of my father and brothers, they continued to humiliate our children. Our house was taken away, and even the spiritual field we were assigned was deliberately seized." Du Shuting said.
"Nonsense." At this moment, another elder in the transformation stage rushed over, and Du Shuting recognized at a glance that this was the Du Kui mentioned by her nephew.
"Brother, you are here too." When Du Huaiyong saw Du Kui coming, he immediately realized that this matter was probably related to his clan, and it would be difficult to handle.
"Brother, you have been on duty for the past hundred years, but this matter has something to do with me, so I have to come forward." Du Kui explained.
Du Huaiyong nodded and said nothing more.
Du Shuting looked at the other party and asked: "Elder Du Kui, since you are here, may I ask why the house in my branch will be used by your descendants?"
"Brother, is there such a thing?" Du Huaiyong asked.
"Huaiyong, this girl is no longer a member of the Du family. Qiu Heng gave her away a few months ago. Since the woman has moved to another family, how can she still be qualified to ring the bell of injustice?" Du Kui said.
"Is this happening? Du Shuting, if you are married, you can no longer be considered a member of the Du family. According to the rules of the Law Enforcement Hall, how should such a situation be handled?" Du Huaiyong asked, obviously not taking Du Shuting to heart anymore.
"According to the rules, outsiders will be executed directly." The elder of the Law Enforcement Hall affirmed.
"It is written in the clan rules that you must get married. May I ask the elders if I am married? Uncle Qiu Heng just saw that Mr. Zuo Duwei had just taken office alone and lacked someone who could take care of things. He asked me to go and take care of it.
I don't have a marriage contract yet, how can I get married?" Du Shuting asked one after another.
"Captain Zuo! Are you working around Captain Zuo?" Du Huaiyong's expression suddenly changed after hearing this.
"Yes! This time, I took a month's leave with Captain Zuo to pay homage to my parents' centenary anniversary. Unexpectedly, when I came back, I found that the old house had been occupied by others, and most of the spiritual fields I had been allocated were taken away.
Please ask the elders to uphold justice." Du Shuting said and knelt down directly.
"Brother Huaiyong, this is this woman's quibble. You said you are already with me, so how can you still be considered a member of the family? Moreover, she also acquiesced in taking back the fields before," Du Kui said.
"What about the house? My nephew is here. According to the clan rules, how can I take the house back?" Du Shuting asked.
"This is not a take back. According to the rules of the clan, Du Xingwang has not yet advanced to the golden elixir, so he is not eligible to inherit the house allocated by the clan." Du Kui said.
"If you don't have the right to inherit, even so, why would you let others live in it?" Du Shuting asked.
"Before there is no inheritance right, it is a waste to leave it empty, and it is normal to let others live in it temporarily." Du Kui said confidently.
"In the Law Enforcement Hall, are these the clan rules?" Du Huaiyong asked.
"That's true. Before the inheritance rights are obtained, the house belongs to the family." The elder of the Law Enforcement Hall thought for a while before answering.
"Look, brother, what I said is not wrong!" Du Kui laughed after hearing this.
After hearing this, Du Shuting felt unspeakably uncomfortable, because there were similar situations in the clan, but no one had ever been so humiliated.
After taking a few deep breaths, Du Shuting stopped worrying about the house and continued to ask: "What about the fields? Originally, there were two acres of fifth-grade spiritual fields, five acres of sixth-grade spiritual fields, and eight acres of seventh-grade spiritual fields. But in
More than a month ago, all was taken back, leaving only twenty or thirty acres of eighty-nine-grade spiritual fields. Is this fair?"
"I don't know about this matter, who did it?" Du Kui asked in a pretentious manner.
"Uncle, I did it!" At this time, a member of the Du family in the Nascent Soul stage came out.
"Du Yide, it was you who did this. What's going on?" Du Kui asked seriously, as if he really didn't understand the matter.
