Uncle Gu first went to the ancestral hall to ring the bell. This was a signal to summon the whole clan. No matter what happened to you, someone from every family must come immediately.
"Hey? Isn't this the bell of the Gu family ancestral hall? What happened?"
"I don't know! Maybe something happened again. There's something good to watch here!"
Gu Chengyu followed the clan elder and Uncle Gu into the ancestral hall, and looked at the Gu clan members who were walking into the courtyard one after another. It was not until they finally came in that they closed the door, blocking the sight outside.
"I called you here today because I want you to know that there is no rule without rules. I have discussed it with the clan elders and formulated the clan rules. Today, I will read the clan rules for everyone to listen. In the future,
Everyone has to come here and memorize it every day until they are familiar with it."
"Returning to the clan rules? What kind of trick is this? We weren't very good before, so why did we learn from the rich family?"
"That's right, who can bear to memorize the clan rules of Lao Shizi?"
Gu Chengyu looked at the whispers of the clan members below. He knew that it would not be that easy once the clan rules were implemented. These people were used to being loose, how could they be bound by the clan rules?
Uncle Gu finished reading the clan rules word for word, and the noise below became even louder.
"Why are the rules of this clan so strict? Those who kneel down in the ancestral hall and get beaten with sticks at every turn. In serious cases, they have to be exterminated from the clan. Isn't this too merciless?"
"I think it's okay. If you don't make a mistake, how can I punish you?"
Some tribesmen think it's harsh, and some think it doesn't matter. After all, ordinary people like them don't have the ability to do bad things, right?
"Hey? I'm talking about the clan leader! So Gu Chengyi has made a big mistake today, and he will also be punished? According to you, he will have to be beaten with ten sticks first!"
Some clan members do not take this seriously. Who doesn't know that Gu Chengyi is Juren's second brother? Will the clan punish him? I'm afraid these clan rules are just to restrain them.
"That's right! Since there are already clan rules, Gu Chengyi should be punished for what happened today." Uncle Gu's face was tense and he looked at the clan members under him majestically.
In the past, the Gu family was all a fool, and he, the clan leader, was not so majestic in the eyes of the clan. They would only find him when there was something wrong with the clan. But it is different now, and his majesty must be upheld, otherwise, he may be difficult to convince.
Public.
Gu Chengyu looked at it and nodded secretly. Uncle Gu was devoted to his family, and in order for the Gu family to change its family and grow in prosperity day by day, how could Uncle Gu let a mouse excrement ruin a pot of porridge?
In fact, Uncle Gu did what Gu Chengyu thought. As soon as he heard about the adultery between the two, he immediately thought of exterminating Gu Chengyi. However, looking back, he was his nephew after all, and Changqing would be reluctant to part with it.
, so it was not brought up.
Besides, with Gu Chengyu as a judge, he has more confidence.
There was complete chaos below, "Are we really going to be punished?"
"It seems to be true."
"Everyone, please listen to me! From today on, the clan rules will be officially implemented. As long as you are a member of the Gu clan, you must abide by the rules of the Gu clan, and I am no exception. My second brother did something that was disgraceful to the family tradition today.
You should be punished! If you still don't repent and make the same mistake again and again, then you will be expelled from the clan. If I do something that ruins the family tradition in the future, the clan will have the right to deal with me, and I will have no complaints."
Ming Mo and Ming Yan stood behind Gu Chengyu. Gu Chengyu had a stern expression and sharp eyes. The clan members who were still a little restless at first became quiet at this moment.
Gu Chengyi, who was unable to move due to the two tribesmen, looked at Gu Chengyu above, his eyes were red, and he wanted to eat his flesh and blood.
When Father Gu looked at Gu Chengyi being held up, he felt his hands shaking. He knew that the second son really needed to be taught a lesson, but when he thought of him being beaten half to death, he couldn't bear it.
Gu Chengli hurried into the ancestral hall. Today, he accompanied Fang and the others to his brother-in-law's place in the town, just in time to buy some things. He didn't expect such a big event to happen at home.
When he came, a villager told him what happened. After finally squeezing his way to the front, he heard Uncle Gu shouting.
"Bring it with you!"
Soon, Gu Chengyi was placed on a bench, his hands were tied, and someone was holding him down. Gu Chengyi couldn't struggle even if he wanted to.
Gu Chengli had never seen such a battle before. He found Xiaobao standing on the steps, and his father stood aside silently. He was anxious, did he really want to fight?
He hurriedly ran to Father Gu and shouted: "Dad!"
Dad Gu looked back and saw an anxious Gu Chengli. He held Gu Chengli down and said, "Stop talking. If you have something to do, talk about it when you get back. If you still think of me as your father."
After Mr. Gu said these words, he felt that all the energy in his body was gone, and he could only stand relying on Gu Chengli's solid body.
People have already come up, so it’s still a question of who will fight! The tribesmen all live in Shangling Village. They can’t see you when you look up, but you can see them when you look down. Who is willing to be this villain?
Uncle Gu was also in a dilemma. He didn't know who to call. Anyone caught by his eyes automatically took a step back, for fear of hitting them.
Now that the rules have been set, someone must take on the responsibility of punishing people in the ancestral hall. Gu Chengyu thought for a while and felt that it would be better to find a young man in the clan. Of course, this must be calculated on monthly basis, otherwise, who would be willing
Doing such an offending job?
Gu Chengyu whispered a few words into Uncle Gu's ear, and Uncle Gu nodded repeatedly.
"Now that the rules have been established, our ancestral hall must have someone to enforce them. I think so! If anyone is willing to do this work, the clan will give him two taels of silver every month as monthly money. From now on, he will work exclusively for the clan.
, there will be rewards for good work.”
"What? There is such a good thing? This is only two taels of silver a month!"
Some people were questioning, while others couldn't wait to rush forward. With money, who cares whether it offends someone? Besides, this is a punishment on behalf of the clan, and it is not his personal grudge. Money and silk are touching people's hearts.
Not fake.
Finally, Uncle Gu selected four strong young men to work exclusively for the clan. Others were envious and jealous of them.
Gu Chengyi originally thought that no one would dare to hit him and he would be able to escape. Who knows, Lao Wu came up with a bad idea and even gave him money.
Sticks are found in every household and are used to carry water. They are very strong.
After only the first blow, Gu Chengyi's screams reached the sky, and the tribesmen on the side couldn't bear to watch.
Uncle Gu glanced at Gu Chengyu, who was standing next to him, and saw that his expression remained unchanged, and he didn't even blink. He hesitated a little. Xiaobao originally looked like a very affectionate person, and he thought that only such a person could
Only then can we take care of our clan.
But today, he watched Xiaobao plotting to get his brother beaten with a stick without changing his expression. Is this because he was blind and didn't see his ruthlessness?
Then he shook his head and rejected it, no! If he didn't care about love, Xiaobao wouldn't be so kind to his nieces at home. Even their relatives, Xiaobao also thought of ways to let everyone make a living. Not only did they
As a benefit, I also bought a sacrificial field for the clan, and the clan members also benefited from it.
