"Yes, but so what?

Etiquette and law are etiquette and law after all. If the eldest son kills someone, then he has violated the law and that is wrong!"

"Second Uncle, why are you like this?"

"summer!"

Zheng Meiniang scolded Li Xiatian and stopped him from saying anything. She smiled at Li Wangming with a little embarrassment.

Li Xiatian shut his mouth, but his heart and eyes were filled with dissatisfaction.

Li Shiyue put down the teacup and patted Li Xiatian gently under the table. After making eye contact with Li Xiatian, she turned to look at Li Wangming with a smile.

"Second Uncle, who set this etiquette?"

Li Wangming was a little confused. He didn't understand why Li Shiyue brought up the topic of who set the etiquette and laws?
"These rituals and laws were set by the ancient sages and officials in charge of criminal justice according to the needs of the emperor."

Li Shiyue nodded, and then she asked: "This legal wife imprisoned the eldest son's wife and his son. Is this against etiquette? Is she guilty?"

“Yes!

But even so, the eldest daughter-in-law and her son are still alive. The legal wife is guilty, but her crime does not punishable by death!
It is wrong for the eldest son to kill someone!"

Li Shiyue nodded again. She glanced through the window and saw that someone was already moving props up to the stage. She turned around and spoke faster to Li Wangming, "Second Uncle, etiquette and laws are set by people, and as long as they are human, they will have preferences, which is inevitably unfair.

For example, in our village, Li Youfu and others said that girls cannot enter the ancestral hall, but they still want me to pay for building the ancestral hall. Is this right?
This is just unfair to me!
If the clan's ancestral hall is good for me, then that's fine, but do you think it is good for me or restrictive?

Therefore, etiquette and laws are naturally not all right.

It is understandable that the eldest son committed murder. After all, in that situation, either his entire family would die or his wife would die.

And the wife was guilty first!

Talking about etiquette before your only life?
Second uncle, isn’t this ridiculous?

If the emperor had been wronged like his eldest son when he was young, could he have added a law when he was emperor: If the wife imprisons others, it is a serious crime and anyone can kill her, but the murderer is not guilty! "

Li Shiyue winked at Li Wangming, then she raised her glass and said to Li Wangming, "Second Uncle, I don't know how they will perform this last scene.

But as for me, if I were the eldest son, I would make two more moves, one to kill my father and the other to kill my brother. This would solve the fundamental problem and there would be no problem.

As for the law?

My whole family is about to die and will be tortured to death, and you are talking to me about the law?

Isn't it a joke?
Even if I have to flee with my wife and children, I will not show mercy.

Or, let me think about it and say that bandits broke in and the wealthy businessman, his wife and second son were unfortunately killed by the bandits. As the head of the family, can't I offer a reward for the bandits' heads?
After all, I am the head of the family, and all the wealth belongs to me, so what's wrong with me spending a little money?"

The gong sounded again. Li Shiyue raised his glass and clinked it with Li Wangming, who was so shocked by Li Shiyue's words that he didn't know what to say. "Second uncle, if I dared to cut off the fingers of my eighth uncle, I would dare to kill him!

Killing him alone is not enough?
Then I will kill again!

As long as I kill enough, who can say it was me who killed them?

After all, they were the ones who disrespected my mother first, and they provoked me time and again!" After saying this, Li Shiyue turned her head away, no longer paying attention to Li Wangming, whose mind was already confused, and she looked downstairs at the stage.

The last scene, which is also the third climax, comes: the eldest son wants to leave with his wife and children, but the second son refuses, and the two groups confront each other.

At this time, someone told the second son that his mother had been killed by the eldest son. The second son drew his knife and was ready to fight to the death with the eldest son.

The rich businessman was dumbfounded. He just watched his eldest son and second son chopping at each other. However, the eldest son, who had been doing business for many years, was faster than the second son. The second son's knife was knocked away by the eldest son. When the eldest son's knife was about to chop him, the rich businessman shouted, "Spare his life!"

The knife never chopped down, and the eldest son escaped with his wife and children.

The show is over.

This ending made everyone dissatisfied!

The guests at more than a dozen tables in the lobby on the first floor were all clamoring for the actors to finish the show and not leave everyone in suspense.

The noisy lobby was a bit overwhelming, so the shopkeeper had no choice but to invite the short, pale-faced man to come on stage and speak.

The man first bowed in a circle, and then he explained to everyone with a smile: "Dear guests, dear guests, please forgive me!
Today's play of "Two Brothers" has indeed come to an end. The eldest son killed someone and had to flee with his wife and children.

It's really the end!

Dear guests, please don't embarrass me, this is how the script is written. "

But who would listen to this man's explanation?

Suddenly, a fat man stood up, holding up an ingot of twenty taels of silver in his hand, and shouted, "I'll give you twenty taels of silver, and you must sing the ending for me today!
I really do have a illegitimate eldest son and a legitimate second son in my family!"

Li Shiyue, who was watching the show on the second floor, did not expect that such a show would happen at this time.

A real rich businessman suddenly emerged from the audience!
Just when Li Shiyue was about to turn around and talk to Li Qiutian, he heard a familiar male voice coming from the room on the left.

"My master said that if I can sing the ending today, I will reward you with ten taels of gold!"

Li Shiyue was struggling over whether to show his head and say hello to Ma San, when he heard another male voice from the right side of his private room: "My master said that if you sing the ending, you will get a reward of ten taels, and I will also sponsor your troupe for three days to sing "Two Brothers" in the Yuelai Restaurant!"

At the same time, the scumbag system in Li Shiyue's mind also rang: "Situation triggered, discovery mission, host, please let the male protagonist Liu Shu recognize you as the person of his heart within twelve hours!
100% completion of the task is considered a success! You will receive points and a chance to win a prize!
Please actively complete the task and become a favorite concubine as soon as possible! "

While Li Shiyue was still thinking about the task in his mind, people from other private rooms came to the window one after another and said they wanted to give rewards in silver, ranging from ten taels, twenty taels to fifty taels.

The audience downstairs also started to make a fuss, and some even threw copper coins and silver pieces onto the stage.

The short, white-faced owner of the opera troupe was hurt by the silver. He felt both pain and pleasure. He rubbed his belly, which was hit by the silver, and quickly bowed to the people in the audience.

"Dear guests, dear guests!

Two quarters of an hour, two quarters of an hour later I will sing this finale for you all!"

Inside the private rooms, the Hibiscus Room was occupied by Li Shiyue and his family. To the left of the room, the Plum Blossom Room was occupied by Liu Tan, who was watching the opera with his children and wife. Next to him stood his personal guards Ma San and Zhao Da.
To the right of the Hibiscus Room is the Lotus Room, and sitting inside are the Prince Liu Shu and Li Chunli!

Another good show is about to begin!
