Chapter 38 Family Law
The flower hall of He Mansion was brightly lit, Feng Shi and He Qianli hurried in, and saw He Xiangshan and Song Shi sitting at the top with serious expressions.

He Qianli stepped forward and asked, "Brother, what happened? Why did you have to call us late at night?"

After he finished speaking, he noticed Feng Tong, the master of the Feng family, who was sitting on the side, and couldn't help asking: "Why is my uncle here?"

Feng Tong just smiled and didn't speak.

He Xiangshan raised his eyes, looked at He Qianli and said, "I'm afraid you would have asked the third siblings about this."

When Feng saw Feng Tong in the hall, the corners of his eyes jumped. Now that He Xiangshan said this, his heart was even more flustered, and he blurted out: "How do I know what you are going to do? Why am I being stopped here again?"

"I'm looking for you for something?" He Xiangshan asked, "But I'm looking for you to borrow money urgently?"

After all, he took out the package he had taken from Feng Tong and unfolded it on the table. The huge amount of flying money tickets dazzled everyone.

Feng Shi was stunned for a moment, raised his chin, and said, "So what? Something happened to my mother's family, and I urgently need money. Could it be that I still need to inform my elder brother about this?"

The servant girl called her in a hurry before, and the Saburo Lord He Qianli was nearby, and she didn't have time to talk about the loan, so she just whispered to her that the owner of the family discovered that she gave the money to her family.

It's just a matter of taking some money for her mother's family to turn around, and it's not a big deal.On the Lord's side, she will explain it to him later.

He Xiangshan's face was cold, and he said in a condensed voice: "Lending money to help your mother's family is a matter of your three-bedroom husband and wife. Naturally, you don't need to know me. But, how did you get your money, don't you know it yourself? ?"

Feng's heart panicked, but he still said stubbornly: "What do you mean by brother? Can't I be more self-conscious?"

He Qianli was also at a loss at this time. He didn't know about his wife giving money to her parents' brother in private.Now, listening to Brother A, is there still a problem with this money?
He turned to look at Feng and asked, "How did you get the money? Did you move the public property?"

Feng's whole body jumped and said, "How could it be? How could I possibly be able to move something in Gongzhong?"

That Song shi kept the accounts so clearly and looked at it so strictly, she couldn't even move her feet even if she wanted to.

"Then how did the money come from?" He Qianli asked in a low voice.

The two were husband and wife. Although he didn't know how much self-confidence Feng had, he had just looked at it. The few flying coins were exchanged, at least tens of thousands of coins, not something that his wife could take out at will. .

Feng shi lowered his head and said nothing.

He Xiangshan said: "You don't dare to say that this money is because you used the name of He Fu to find people in the market to lend money, or did you receive ten percent of the monthly interest?"

"This... is this really the case?" He Qianli looked at Feng Shi.

Aristocratic families in the previous dynasties all made profits by lending and collecting interest, but the ancestors of the He family were deeply hurt by it, so they set clan rules, and no one in the He clan could lend money.

In the period of Emperor Ai of the previous dynasty, the reason for the accelerated disintegration of the imperial regime was that there were also private loans, which further caused the people to live in poverty.

The Great Zhou Gaozu was a military general of the previous dynasty. After he took the initiative, he led his subordinates to conquer the world. He even saw many low-level people suffer from borrowings.

He once issued a legal order on borrowing, "Private borrowing, the monthly profit shall not exceed three points." It further standardized the process and method of interest-bearing loan contracts.

Later, the Imperial Household Department presided over the implementation of the Changping Law, and set up Changping positions in various states and counties to provide loans to the people who needed low-value loans, and the monthly profit was no more than one cent.

So far, the popularity of private lending has gradually faded away.

Although there were also wealthy businessmen and gentry who cooperated with people in the market to lend high amounts of money, they were only borrowed from people who were in urgent need of large sums of money and could not wait for the approval of the government, and such behavior was only a minority.Today's aristocratic clans rarely do it because of their reputation.

He Qianli asked Feng again, "Are you really going to lend money privately?"

Feng Shi had no choice. Since He Xiangshan said so, thinking that everything had been found out, she had to bite the bullet and nodded.

He Qianli's beard was shaking with anger, and he pointed at Feng and said, "You...you really..."

He family rules, Feng is not ignorant.

"People in the family are not allowed to borrow money for personal gain. Those who violate this rule will be punished forty."

Although Feng was not a child of the He family, but married into the He family, she was a member of the He family. Although she was a first-time offender, she could not escape the punishment of being forty.

He Qianli sighed helplessly, then leaned over and bowed to He Xiangshan: "Brother Feng, after all, Feng is a woman, and she can't stand it. She did this because I was too careless and didn't notice it. Fa, please allow me to take it on my behalf."

Feng's eyes widened: "Master!"

She rushed forward, knelt down and said, "Brother, you are the head of the He family, you are the head of the He family, and I have nothing to say. Since I have committed this clan rule, the punishment will be taken by me, and it has nothing to do with the head of my family. ."

He Qianli whispered: "Shut up!"

"Master!"

"It's my husband's fault to take a wife and not teach me. This punishment should be taken by me." He Qianli looked at He Xiangshan, "Brother, if you want to practice family law, start now."

After saying that, he lifted his robe and knelt down.

He Xiangshan nodded and said, "You are somewhat responsible. Even so, I will not be soft-hearted."

The utensil of He's family practice is a specially woven rattan, and the color is dark red and shiny, and it is as thick as a child's arm. It is terrifying enough to hold it in your hand, let alone smoke it on your body.

He Xiangshan waved the rattan, and then fell down fiercely, the sound of breaking the air, accompanied by the sound of the rattan being drawn on the flesh, clearly reached everyone's ears.

He Qianli couldn't help groaning.

Feng Shi, who was on the side, even had red eyes, and tears fell down her cheeks.

Feng Tong, who was sitting next to him, also moved his buttocks uneasily.

The He family practiced family methods, and he, an outsider, could not speak.Although this happened because he asked Feng for money, he didn't know how the money came from.

The so-called family shame cannot be made public. What does the head of the He family mean by leaving him here and letting him, an outsider, watch him impose family laws on his brother?
The sound of rattan hitting his body one after another, He Qianli's back was dripping with blood, soaking through his clothes.

He clenched his teeth, his face twitched due to the pain and forbearance, even so, he still let out a bit of a painful groan from time to time.

Feng shi burst into tears.

"36, 37, 38, 39, forty!"

When the last whip fell, He Qianli couldn't hold it any longer and fell down.

"Lang Master!" Feng Shi was shocked, and rushed up to support him in a hurry.
