While the Demon Emperor was explaining the three strategies to Feng Chengjue, everyone in the Jingguo Hall of Rites was gathered in the Notre-Dame.
The Lei family was equivalent to the Xusheng family. Their status was lower than the aristocratic families, but higher than the wealthy families. The king couldn't punish them.
Three balls of light floated above the main hall of the Hall of Rites. Each ball of light contained a copy of a book written by Half-saint himself.
A purple-robed Confucian scholar walked to the front of the Rites of Zhou and said, "Notre-Dame rules the Rites of Zhou. Punish! "
As soon as he said that, a faint red flame emerged from the Rites of Zhou. It contained a strange power. Apart from the Confucian scholar, everyone in the Hall of Rites was affected by the flame. They were filled with righteous indignation.
Another purple-robed Confucian scholar walked to the front of the Rites of Rites and said, "When scholars meet, they don't bring a pheasant. Punish! "
"Phew …" Flames also emerged from the Rites of Rites.
The third Confucian scholar walked to the front of the Rites of Rites and said, "As a noble family, you don't deserve to be punished. Punish! "
The three balls of flames left the three books and slowly rose faster and faster. They passed through the main hall of the Hall of Rites and left the Notre-Dame. Finally, they crossed the void and appeared above the Lei family.
"Oh no!"
"Impudent!"
"How dare you insult the Lei family!"
The Lei family scholars and scholars all cursed.
A ball of flames descended from the sky and landed in the center of the Lei family's old residence. It turned into a faint red light that spread for hundreds of kilometers before dissipating.
The Lei family didn't seem to have changed, but the invisible luck of the Lei family was cut by 30%.
The second "Fire of the Three Rites" descended and the Lei family's luck of Jia Nation was cut in half.
When the third 'Fire of Three Rites' descended, all those with the Lei Clan bloodline had their human fortune shaved off by ten percent.
A loud voice sounded in the sky above the Ten Nations.
"The Lei family of Jia Nation has violated the Three Rites. Inhuman … "
Fang Yun was chatting with Yang Yuhuan in the courtyard. When he heard the loud voice, he was slightly stunned and hurriedly stood with Yang Yuhuan to listen seriously.
Nunu also hurriedly stood upright like Fang Yun. His expression was serious.
When the voice mentioned "violating the Three Rites", Fang Yun, like all the other scholars, heard the words of the three purple-robed scholars in front of the Rites of Zhou, the Rites of Rites, and the Book of Rites.
As a scholar, Fang Yun immediately knew that these three crimes came from the "Zhou Rites – Great Governance", "Rites – Etiquette – Etiquette for Scholars", and "Rites – Ceremonial Vessels". He thought to himself that the old pedant of the Hall of Rites was indeed impressive. Other scholars would at most use the sacred path of the saints to criticize or refute. He didn't dare and couldn't use the Three Rites carelessly to avoid causing trouble. However, the people of the Hall of Rites directly used the Three Rites to convict him.
In the Saint Origin World, the punishment of the three rites was more severe than the punishment of the law. For the nobles, as long as he didn't commit treason or other major crimes, he could use various methods to reduce the punishment. However, once he was convicted of the three rites, only the great scholar or the Half-saint had the right to redeem himself. The rest of the people would be punished as they should be.
As the voice continued, Fang Yun was stunned. He didn't expect the Notre-Dame to be so ruthless this time, directly bringing down the fire of the three rites. This time, the Lei family would definitely suffer a great loss.
Yang Yuhuan was very surprised. She opened her eyes wide and whispered, "The punishment of the three rites? It's so scary. In the past, the three rites were punished. But there were always people who were unlucky. "
Fang Yun's expression was dignified. His eyes flashed with a touch of surprise, and said, "One rites, one crime. At least three scholars of the Lei family will be directly deprived of all their talents!"
"Ah …" Yang Yuhuan exclaimed softly. She didn't expect the punishment to be so severe.
"That is the Three Rites, one of the foundations of the Confucian school. It was originally regarded as the first sacred path of the Confucian school, but it changed later. It was already after 'benevolence' and 'righteousness', and before 'law'. It became the third sacred path. There were many reasons for this heavy punishment, but one of them was definitely there, and that was that the people of the Hall of Rites were looking for an opportunity to kill the chicken to warn the monkey! The Lei family's power ultimately came from the Dragons, and they were becoming more and more arrogant. This time, they didn't even bother to show any respect, so those great scholars were naturally angry. As for the other reasons, I can't tell you. "
"Serves them right! It's their fault for harming you! "Yang Yuhuan clenched her small fists.
"Ying ying!" Nunu nodded vigorously.
"Today is New Year's Eve, and it will be next year in one day. Bringing down the fire of the three rites today means that the Lei family's reward from the Notre-Dame next year will be greatly reduced because of the punishment of the three rites," Fang Yundao said.
Fang Yun looked in the direction of the Lei family, as if he could see the Lei family going crazy.
"Summon the elders!" Lei Tingyu's voice echoed in the Lei family.
Today was clearly New Year's Eve, and spring was about to begin. The ice and snow had melted, and bits of greenery had appeared on Jia Nation's land. However, the people within a thousand li radius of the Lei family felt extremely cold, and all the newly grown plants had completely withered.
Not long after, all the elders of the Lei family appeared in the Lei family's main hall, while a large number of Lei family members stood outside the door.
Many young members of the Lei family looked towards the main entrance of the main hall with sorrowful expressions.
Three hospital beds for the School of Medicine were placed inside the main hall. Three white-haired old men lay on the beds, covered with thick blankets. Beside each of them stood a School of Medicine Scholar. In front of each School of Medicine Scholar was a thin medical book, which emitted a faint white light that fell on the old men.
"How sad! How painful! How shameful! How shameful! Their talents have been completely stripped away by the Notre-Dame. These are the three great scholars of the Lei family! In time, they will become three great scholars! How can the Hall of Rites be like this! How can Fang Yun be like this! "
"This enmity and hatred is absolutely irreconcilable! Family Head, please allow the Lei family to challenge Fang Yun! "
"Yes, challenge Fang Yun. We must put him to death!"
"Our Lei family's many years of hard work have been destroyed in a day! The Dongsheng Pavilion has already sent a letter to deprive the Lei family of all the privileges of Xusheng's family for five years! Five years! Our Lei family will be cut off for a generation! "
"What did I say at the beginning? Don't let your emotions affect your decisions. Don't let your emotions affect your decisions. He can just treat it as Xusheng's gift. At most, he can just throw it into the sea halfway. This is also a loss of a gift, not a lack of manners. But now … "
"Don't mention this again. Whoever brings up this old matter will be causing trouble for our Lei family! Right now, the most important thing is how to reduce our losses and how to make Fang Yun pay the price! The shame of the Lei family must be washed away! The descendant of the Lei family will not be humiliated by anyone! "
"Never!" Hundreds of young Lei family members shouted in unison with red eyes.
Family Head Lei Yue glanced at the elders in the main hall and waved his hand to close the door.
"Fang Yun has become Xusheng. If we cooperate, we both benefit. If we fight, we both lose. The Fire of the Three Rites from the Heavens. Even if my Lei Clan has suffered a thousand grievances, we are still at fault. If you can't give up this face, I, as the Family Head, will walk thousands of miles and bring a bramble to ask for punishment! "
"Ridiculous!"
"Do you want our Lei family to bear an even greater shame?"
"The descendant of the Lei family must not be like this!"
"You don't deserve to be the Family Head!"
However, a small number of Lei family members lowered their heads and remained silent.
"That day, I said that if you can't resolve your grudges with Fang Yun after ascending the Dragon Platform, I will personally go and apologize. But because of Lei Jiu's death, it is understandable that you went back on your words. Now that San Li has been convicted, if you still do this, then there is no room for negotiation. We are humans! "Lei Yue's tone was extremely strict.
"But we are also the descendants of the Lei family! We are the descendants of the Dragons' Master Lei. The glory of the Lei family is no less than that of the Kong family! No one can be humiliated! "
"Little Yue, you are the Family Head, but that doesn't mean that we are dead!"
"The etiquette of humans cannot be abolished. Are the etiquette of our Lei family just for show?"
"Sigh … I am useless and have shamed my ancestors. I resign from the position of the Lei family Family Head and am willing to be exiled to the ancient lands, never to return to the Lei family!"
