Like many large families, the Xiao family is also divided into different branches.
There are seven rooms in total.
Among them, there are three rooms in total that are worth talking about.
Mrs. Xiao is the eldest son, followed by Xiao Yi, the second eldest son, and Xiao Yuan, the fourth eldest son.
These three houses have the greatest influence.
He has great influence in the court and the army.
As for Xiao Ling from the third bedroom, Xiao Chen from the fifth bedroom, Xiao Zhen from the sixth bedroom, and Xiao Hu from the seventh bedroom, compared with these three bedrooms, they are far inferior and do not have enough say. However, they also manage many properties of the Xiao family and occupy a certain amount of power. share.
This time, the temporary emergency family meeting was jointly convened by the second and fourth families, catching the old master Xiao Yan's big family by surprise.
And their request was also very simple.
Cut with Lin Beichen.
The previous decision to appoint Xiao Ye as the new clan leader was revoked.
Such a request was obviously planned by the second and fourth houses for a long time. They joined forces to attack the first house, which was an obvious signal to seize power.
All of a sudden, the expressions of the representatives of each room who appeared in the hall changed.
"I support."
Xiao Ling, the talker of the third room, was the first to express his stance.
"I also support that Lin Beichen is dead. He is a troublemaker. He has already provoked the envoys of the Central Empire Alliance Mission. Not to mention our Xiao family, even the royal family will not dare to protect him. If he has anything to do with this person again, If there is a dispute, the disaster of annihilation is right around the corner."
Xiao Chen, the talker in the fifth room, also said loudly.
There was a lot of discussion in the hall.
At this time, Xiao Hu from the seventh room couldn't help but said angrily: "How can I, the Xiao family, just follow the wind? So many invitations have been sent out, and now the entire aristocratic circle in the capital is aware of this matter. If it were done now If you regret it, won’t you become the laughing stock of the capital?”
Xiao Yi, the talker of the second room, sneered: "It is better to be the laughingstock than to have the family destroyed. We are doing this for the Xiao family."
Xiao Hu from the seventh room sneered: "For the Xiao family? It's not like I don't know about the dirty things that your second and fourth rooms have been doing secretly for so long. In the name of the Xiao family, they have done all kinds of things that harm the public and enrich themselves." , you still regard the Xiao family as your own?"
"presumptuous."
Xiao Yuan, the talker in the fourth room, stood up and said sternly: "Old Qi, what do you mean? There must be a limit to spewing blood."
"I bother."
Xiao Hu, the talker in Qifang, had a look of disdain on his face.
He looked around and asked angrily: "You know what you have done. Don't think that others are deaf and blind. The old man is just too lazy to pay attention to you. He took advantage of you and secretly enjoyed it. Now he is still Are you trying to get your hands on the power of the Xiao family? Don’t forget, the Xiao family was built up little by little by the old man. Without the old man, who are you? Are you still trying to seize power now? You are really no different from white-eyed wolves. "
"You... Lao Qi, you have the ability to provide evidence. Otherwise, if you say such things, you will be dealt with according to family rules."
Xiao Yi, the talker of the second room, said coldly.
Xiao Hu, the talker in the seventh room, was about to refute, but the old man Xiao Yan waved his hand.
"Second brother, tell me, what are you going to do?"
Old Master Xiao Yan asked calmly.
Xiao Yi, the talker of the second room, smiled slightly and said: "It's very simple. Abolish Xiao Ye's inheritance rights as the head of the family, expel him from the Xiao family, and elect a new head of the family. Haha, I propose that Xiao Si, although he is also young, After all, he has more experience than Xiao Ye, so in this way, the invitations sent out do not need to be withdrawn, and the inauguration meeting of the head of the family can be held as usual."
Xiao Si is a leader among the new generation of Erfang.
There was a sudden buzz of discussion in the hall.
"What do the rest of you think?"
Old Master Xiao Yan did not get angry, but asked other people's opinions calmly.
"I object."
Xiao Hu, the talker of Qifang, said: "Xiao Si has a wine bag and rice bag. He is gilded in the army. He has never been to the front line or a real battlefield. The position of staff general was bought by Erfang with huge sums of money. This kind of person What qualifications do you have to inherit the position of head of the family?"
"I agree with Xiao Si succeeding as the head of the family."
Xiao Yuandao, the person in charge of the fourth house.
"We all agree with the second child's proposal. Xiao Si is a good candidate."
Xiao Ling from the third room, Xiao Chen from the fifth room, and Xiao Zhen from the sixth room spoke at the same time.
Among the seven major branches, five families agreed to abolish Xiao Ye and elected Xiao Si as the new head of the family.
Only Dafang and Qifang continued to support Xiao Ye.
"Haha, we won."
Xiao Yi, the second roommate, laughed.
"One-vote veto."
Old Mrs. Xiao said calmly as he had some time to rest.
Xiao Yi's expression froze.
The others looked at the old man and were also stunned.
"I created the Xiao family, and I have the final say."
Mr. Xiao looked calm.
He clapped his hands lightly.
Forty heavily armed soldiers rushed into the hall.
They are all top-notch military masters.
The leader is a martial arts master.
In the entire hall, most people suddenly fell silent.
Mr. Xiao slowly stood up, his majestic aura exuded, and his tone was domineering: "When did I say that the head of the family can vote? Second child, fourth child, don't you know how much money you have? Are you playing? This one is still far from enough, pass my order, the family head succession meeting will be held as scheduled, the candidates will remain unchanged, if anyone has any other ideas, then get out of the Xiao family."
"Old Master, you..."
Xiao Yi, Xiao Yuan and others were shocked and angry.
I and others had been preparing for so long, and they suddenly launched an attack, but this was the result
"What? Are you still talking?"
Mrs. Xiao looked at them with cold eyes.
Xiao Yi and Xiao Yuan immediately shut up.
The old man with such an expression has not appeared for a long time.
The last time the old man looked like this, it was a night of bloodshed. The Xiao family, which originally had eight branches, became seven.
"Meeting dismissed."
Mr. Xiao didn't give others a chance to speak at all.
He turned and left.
"The clown."
Xiao Hu, the talker in Qifang, laughed and left.
Xiao Yi, Xiao Yuan and others were left with pale faces.
"Old guy, why aren't you dead yet?"
A young man with a ferocious face, like a wild dog whose mate was taken away during mating, gnashed his teeth and cursed.
He is Xiao Si.
Seeing that the position of head of the family he had obtained flew away, Xiao Si was so angry that he almost lost his mind.
Snapped!
Xiao Yi slapped the young man on the face: "Insolent. How can you curse the head of the family like this?"
"Grandpa, I... I was wrong."
Xiao Si was shocked and woke up from this slap.
Xiao Yi looked at the empty hall, and a ferocious look flashed across his face.
"You are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust, old guy, you are asking for death."
He made up his mind.
"Fourth, go and contact the other party and say that I agree with his conditions and agree with his plan. We will wait for the new head of the family to take office in the main hall in two days and get rid of the old guy directly."
Xiao Yi said with a sinister expression.
Xiao Yuan was overjoyed and said: "Second brother, you have finally figured it out, great, haha. Climb to the high branches of the Central Empire. We will have whatever we want. Even the Human Emperor dare not do anything to us, hahaha." , Okay, I’ll contact the other party right away.”
He left happily.
Xiao Yi then turned back to look at his grandson Xiao Si.
"Did it hurt from the slap just now?"
"Grandpa, you are right. I shouldn't be carried away by anger and talk nonsense."
"It's good to know that you are wrong. Grandpa is a grandson like you, and he will definitely pave the way for you. The evil people ask grandpa to do it. You have to win people's hearts... Don't worry. In two days, you will be the new head of the family. Pay attention these two days. Point, don’t go out drinking.”
"Yes, Grandpa."
…
…
Tower of Heaven and Man.
Ge Wuyou was dressed in a blue shirt and had a handsome appearance. He was holding his own secret-color porcelain three-legged golden toad teacup in his hand and was sipping it in small sips, feeling very anxious in his heart.
I had already lent my wife to this idiot Zhu Junlan.
I don’t know when I can take it back.
"Don't worry, I, Zhu Junlan, never default on your debts. When I go back and raise enough black stones, I will pay you back as soon as possible."
Zhu Junlan sat aside, patting his chest
Guaranteed breasts.
"Master Zhu's family has great business, of course I can rest assured."
Ge Wuyou said something against his will.
What a cruel life.
Finally, I ended up living a life I hated again and again.
"Hey, this time, I feel relieved when I heard that Lin Beichen will definitely die."
Zhu Junlan people are in high spirits on happy occasions.
When Ge Wuyou heard this, he didn't speak.
He felt a little regretful.
This Lin Beichen was really a good young man, with strong fighting ability. He was favored by the Lord of the Sword and granted him magical skills. Unfortunately, he had a bad fate and died too quickly.
Boom, boom, boom.
There was a knock on the door.
Ge Wuyou looked at the large Xuanjing screen in the monitoring room.
"Huh?"
A look of surprise appeared on his face.
Judging from the surveillance, the figure standing outside the Tower of Heaven and Man turned out to be an acquaintance.
[Changchun native]Sun Xingzhe.
Why is he here
Zhu Junlan also discovered it.
"Invite him in."
Zhu Junlan's heart moved.
After a while.
In the lobby on the first floor of the Tower of Heaven and Man.
"Master Zhu, I have come to tell you some very important news."
Sun Xingzhe was mysterious and mysterious.
"Do you want to say that Lin Beichen is dead?"
Zhu Junlan felt dissatisfied, and reluctantly restrained himself, saying calmly: "I already know about this matter. He died from the injury of [Polar God's Crying Bow]."
"wrong."
Sun Xingzhe shook his head and corrected, saying: "Master Zhu got false news. Lin Beichen just faked his death. His injuries are not serious and he is still alive and well now."
"What?"
Zhu Junlan and Ge Wuyou exclaimed at the same time.
"What credentials do you have?"
Zhu Junlan stared at Sun Xingzhe and said solemnly: "Don't come here to trick me."
Sun Xingzhe directly took out a shadow stone.
"Master Zhu, you will know after you see it."
He handed over the photo stone.
Zhu Junlan moved the image stone suspiciously, and the image in the memory was suddenly projected into the air.
In the picture, Lin Beichen still had an ice crystal arrow stuck in his right chest, but he was in very good spirits, with a rosy and shiny complexion. He had his two stunning little maids in his arms, and they were flirting. While drinking, he acted like a wild man.
How does this debauchery look look like he is seriously injured and dying
Zhu Junlan's scalp felt numb for a while.
How is this going
As we all know, the image in the image stone cannot be... er, cannot be tampered with.
So, Lin Beichen is not only alive, but also very nourished
"How did you get this image stone?"
Zhu Junlan asked seriously.
Now that the entire Shangzhuo Garden has been sealed off, like an iron barrel, outsiders cannot enter at all. How could someone capture such a scene
This method is extraordinary.
Sun Xingzhe said: "Of course I have a special method."
"Did you come to me just to tell me the news?"
"Of course not, I'm here to see Mr. Zhu for the final payment."
"What's the final payment?"
"Of course it's the final payment for assassinating Lin Beichen."
"But he's still alive."
"He is alive now but will die soon."
"What's the meaning?"
"Since I can get such a picture stone later, it means I can get close to him at any time. With his current injury and the arrow stuck in his chest, what percent of his strength is left? I can kill him at any time."
"really?"
"I, Sun Xingzhe, do things openly and aboveboard and never lie to others."
"Then I'll pay you after you kill him."
"No, I am 100% sure this time. After killing him, I will immediately have to flee far away from the Beihai Empire, so I must ask Mr. Zhu to settle the payment first."
