Why did ancient officials punish the nine clansmen for crimes? I also want to know ~ who knows?

In ancient China, "property seizure" and "genocide" were often used together, aiming at uprooting-completely eliminating the power and contacts of revenge. Shao Kang's idea of "10% of the land, more than one brigade" is the inexhaustible result, while Wu Zixu and Wu Fachu are the incomplete results of genocide. As a result, Qin Shihuang began to have a cool method of "clan punishment", first of all, "foreign three clans", and the descendants became more and more cool, from three clans, five clans to nine clans-father four clans, mother three clans and wife two clans. The most widely circulated collective punishment said that Ming killed Fang Xiaoru and blamed it on his "ten families", which means that Ming was insane, and Fang Xiaoru's teachers and students were forced to be ten families, which was regarded as killing all the people related to Fang Xiaoru.
