Views:

"Master..." Tong Qiang's eyes were red when he came in. He was anxious and angry. He didn't expect that something would happen to his family in the Jade Emperor Academy when he went out in the middle of the night.

The moment he saw Ren Jie, Tong Qiang felt like he was about to jump up and get furious. The owner's current state was much more serious than what the gopher said on the way in.

"Gopher!" Tong Qiang turned his head fiercely, already ready to kill someone. Gopher should have been punished for not protecting the family leader and something went wrong. What made Tong Qiang most angry and furious was that Gopher did it in front of him. Lie to your face.

The owner's injuries are more serious than what he said. It looks like he is almost dying... No, if he wants to say this to reduce his responsibility...

"Captain, if you don't protect the family master well enough, you should kill me, but I really didn't lie to excuse myself." The gopher was also dumbfounded. What's going on? Why is the family master even more serious than before? How can he still be cured after being treated for half a night? It's serious.

"Tong Qiang, don't get excited. This has nothing to do with the gophers. I wanted to take the opportunity to practice and make a breakthrough. Moreover, I was the one who stopped the gophers from rushing in before. This matter ends here. In this way, prepare immediately. Let's start now. Set off and leave Yujing City.”

"Master, your current body should be returned to the family first." Tong Qiang looked scared. Ren Jie's situation at the moment was not ordinary scary. People like Tong Qiang who had experienced countless life and death battles seemed scared. I don't know how scary it is.

"No, let's go now." Ren Jie affirmed again and said decisively.

Although Tong Qiang was worried, he still went over and used his magic power to lift Ren Jie and the seat into the spirit beast car, and then ordered the team to prepare. Although Ren Jie begged for mercy, Tong Qiang also looked angrily. Kill the gopher and wait until things calm down before punishing him.

The gopher followed guiltily. Although the head of the family did not blame him, he willingly accepted any punishment imposed by the captain.

In addition to them, there is always a person wearing the gorgeous armor of the Guards beside Tong Qiang. He has no words or any reaction, but his heart can no longer be calm, even if he has the evil sword in his left hand, even if he has experienced so much There are so many things, even though he no longer regards life and death as a thing. But at this moment, he really couldn't calm down anymore. Ren Jie asked Tong Qiang to take people and a spirit beast car to help him transfer the teacher's family, but he was almost killed on his side. In fact, when he came in, he saw Ren Jie At first glance, Xie Jian felt that Ren Jie wouldn't live long.

His hands are crippled, but his eyes are not crippled, his heart is not crippled, he can see and feel.

But from beginning to end, Ren Jie didn't say anything, didn't mention anything, and didn't let everyone talk about anything else. However, Xie Jian saw it and kept it in his heart.

… … … … … … … … … …

At the meeting hall of Ren parents, the three elders had just summoned many people below and arranged many things. The main focus was on the upcoming meeting of all elders of the family. After a short break, the three of them took a breather and drank. Tea.

"Hmph, our patriarch became the strongest first-year student in the academy, but he has become a new joke in Yujing City. He poisoned his classmates with aphrodisiacs and forced them to take off their clothes and go to a brothel. He almost destroyed Fang Qi's residence. Now he borrows Tong Qiang's power forcibly took away the strongest person in the first grade, and the Ren family has completely embarrassed him." Ren Wenxu became angrier as he spoke: "Quickly, we must convene a meeting of all family elders as soon as possible before letting him go. If he keeps going like this, the Ren family’s reputation will be ruined.”

"Ignorant and wanton, I simply don't know what to say about him. There is a battle at this time, otherwise the whole family elders meeting would have been held by now, and he should be the head of the family to the end. I think we need to supervise this matter In addition to being prepared here, we should also inform other people and take time out no matter what. After all, this is a major event related to the fate of the family. The family can no longer let such a person be the head of the family. "Ren Hanlin can't wait to remove Ren Jie as the head of the family now, if he has the power.

"He can't even jump around for a few days. With a group of guards all day long, he really thinks that he is the head of the family. Without our painstaking management every day, this family can continue to prosper and prosper." Ren Junyang slowly drank water and sighed. He said: "Now it is imperative to take down Ren Jie as the head of the family. What we have to figure out is how to reach an agreement and balance with those two people. The Ren family cannot be in chaos, especially not from within."

Agreement and balance, Ren Hanlin and Ren Wenxu's hearts quickened when they heard what agreement and balance were. It was time to re-divide interests again. Because only when everyone talks about their interests, Ren Tianqi and Ren Tianheng, the two men with the power to command the army, will support them, and will they choose an obedient new head of the family.

And in this process, they will also get the benefits they want. After making so many preparations and working for so long, it is finally time to re-divide the benefits. Although the two of them have thought about it for a long time, At this moment, when Ren Junyang mentioned it, their hearts could not help but beat faster.

"Once the head of the family changes, we must also consider the changes of other responsible persons in advance so as not to be caught off guard." After Ren Junyang finished speaking, he raised his eyelids slightly and looked at Ren Hanlin and Ren Wenxu. He wanted to win over these two people. Give them benefits. Only if they unite first can they form enough strength to talk to Ren Tianheng and Ren Tianqi...

"Boom..." At this moment, a black shadow suddenly flew in and hit the ground hard. However, this black shadow was surrounded by a layer of power, so when it fell to the ground, it was like a meteorite falling from the sky. The meeting hall Everyone above was shaken.

"Who is it?" Ren Wenxu, Ren Hanlin, and Ren Junyang suddenly stood up, and strength suddenly spread throughout their bodies. They were shocked. How could anyone break in when they were discussing such an important matter.

The people on the ground did not move, and then Ren Junyang and the three of them also discovered that it turned out to be a dead body. Is this

"Look, the three elders have seen it clearly." At this moment, Wan Hong's voice sounded outside the hall, and then Wan Hong walked in. She usually represented Liu Ye Ren Tianzong at the elders' meeting but never spoke. Wan Hong actually spoke at this time, but her voice seemed extremely cold.

"Wan Hong, what do you mean?" Ren Hanlin frowned slightly and looked at Wan Hong unhappily. He brought a corpse here. What did he want to do

"I let the three elders see it clearly. This is the person who wants to assassinate the family leader. The family leader is now seriously injured and his life and death are unknown. Now the Sixth Master has sent someone to take the family master to King Mingyu Pill to ask for a life-saving pill. The Sixth Master asked me to The killer's body was handed over to the three elders."

"What, assassinated?"

"Severely injured, life or death unknown?"

"Killer?"

… …

This news really shocked Ren Junyang and the others, because it was so shocking and unexpected, but in their hearts the three of them were overjoyed at the same time.

"Humph, I've known for a long time that something will happen to him sooner or later if he keeps going on like this, and now it sure does." Ren Hanlin said, "I knew it a long time ago, but I just didn't say it."

"It's a wonder if you don't get hated by others if you cause trouble everywhere." Ren Wenxu also looked like he wasn't surprised. In fact, these were just suppressing the happiness in his heart, because Ren Jie had been doing so much recently, which made them all worried that he would Becoming the next Nintendo is now available.

"The head of the family was seriously injured after being assassinated and is in danger. At this time, we need our elders to fully support the family situation. At this time, I suggest that the family enters a critical state. The family elders will... in case the head of the family has anything..." Ren Junyang's voice at this time also After the sound, his words were very low and seemed more calm.

But at this moment, Wan Hong stood at the door of the hall, but he felt like he was in a completely different world from them. At this moment, he simply couldn't believe what was happening in front of him. The news I told them now was that the head of the family was assassinated. These people were almost excited to celebrate. Everyone actually asked about the head of the family's injuries and why he was assassinated.

Ren Hanlin and Ren Wenxu were gloating about their misfortune, almost unable to hold back their laughter, and Ren Junyang seemed to be a big deal, but was actually more hateful. At this time, the first thing that came to his mind was how to take advantage of this opportunity to take power.

Wan Hong felt like he was going to explode. It would be fine if the head of the house was still the good-for-nothing he was before. But he had seen the head of the house talking to Mr. Six, and had also seen the head of the house show off his power. He thought to himself that even if the head of the house was pretending, he could endure it. He has been such a god for so long, and I definitely wouldn’t be able to bear it if he were me. In the past, Wan Hong was completely on the outside looking in, but now that she has a stance and perspective, when she looks at them again, she feels so ridiculous and angry that it almost makes people want to get angry.

As for what Ren Junyang said later, he didn't listen at all about his plans and how to gain power.

"That's enough." Suddenly, Wan Hong couldn't help but raise her voice slightly. She stopped Ren Junyang who was speaking, and looked at the three of them coldly: "Three elders, I am here to replace the Sixth Master. I came here to send a message, Master Six said. If a family doesn't even respond to the assassination of the family leader, then the family leader is about to die. Moreover, the five major families once had a secret agreement, and the agreement that lasted for thousands of years cannot be broken. It is not convenient for Master Liu to come forward. , He hopes that the three elders will take the body into the palace immediately and let His Majesty personally convene a meeting of the heads of the five major families. "

"Sixth Master has also passed this news to all members of the Ren family. The head of the family is the representative and symbol of the family. Anyone who dares to touch the head of the family will affect the interests of the entire family. Everyone and all the forces in the family must be reunited. Once it is found out... Who, at all costs, with a thunderous strike, activates the secret agreement between the five major families a thousand years ago, and activates all forces to prepare for war..."

"This... I'm afraid this time is not suitable. After all, the matter is not clear yet. We still don't know the reason. We can investigate secretly first, and then..." Mobilizing all the power to put pressure, just for such a dandy family head, he There was no match for it, so Ren Junyang interrupted Wan Hong before he could finish speaking, looking for excuses to postpone the matter.

"Boom..." At this moment, the entire hall was suddenly surrounded by a special aura. Powerful power filled the hall, and at the same time oppressed Ren Junyang and the three elders.

"Hmm... um... um..." They groaned three times in succession. Ren Junyang, Ren Hanlin, and Ren Wenxu were almost knocked to the ground by the momentum. Their faces were extremely ugly. Ren Hanlin and Ren Wenxu had blood at the corners of their mouths and nostrils. outflow.

"I have contacted my second brother and fifth brother about this matter. The head of the Ren family is the head of the Ren family. One day he is in office represents the whole day of the Ren family. He will not be harmed by anyone or any force. Now act immediately to come up with the secret agreement between the five major families a thousand years ago. , let the other four major families give an explanation, and all members of the family should be ready for battle. If you still have any opinions and think that you should not come forward at this time, then just ask the elder to come out, but you will definitely do it by then. The great elder must be asked to judge what is right and wrong, and the wrong person will be punished and completely removed from the Presbyterian Church and driven out of the Ren family, because he is no longer worthy of being a member of the Ren family." Under the pressure of powerful and terrifying forces, it was later passed down. Ren Tianzong's voice was strong and domineering. Although it was not as direct as it was with Fang Tianen that day, there was actually no difference.

After finishing speaking, the powerful oppressive force did not disappear and was still oppressing Ren Junyang and the three of them. At this moment, even the strongest Ren Junyang felt tightness in his chest.

The five major families made a secret agreement at the beginning of the establishment of the Mingyu Dynasty in order to avoid infighting among the top leaders of the five major families. Once the other family leader was fatally injured or attacked, this secret agreement could be used for any reason. Once used, if the four major families cannot investigate the murderer within three days, this family can mobilize its own strength, or even recruit troops to conduct investigations and searches, and the other four major families must cooperate.

Using the army to investigate, arrest, and interrogate may not seem like much, but the head of the Gao family was killed more than 700 years ago, so he took advantage of this secret agreement. After three days, the murderer was not investigated. The Gao family relied on the power of the secret contract to mobilize. Although they did not find out who the murderer was in the end, they eliminated dozens of people with real power from other major families, controlled a large amount of information, and occupied Many resources.

To put it bluntly, this secret agreement is to prevent the escalation of the fight between the five major families. Once something happens to the head of a certain family, the secret agreement will be used to throw the pressure and problems to the other four families. However, this will cause things to get bigger, so the fight between the five major families will not be easy. There will be the idea of killing the other party's family head, at least not doing things like assassination. It is not that no family head has died for various reasons over the past thousands of years, but there must be a reason and a reason, not this kind of assassination method.

And the emperor dislikes such a commotion the most, because in a short period of time, with the help of the terms of the secret agreement, the Ren family can do many things that only the emperor has the right to do, such as publicly arresting people, interrogating, raiding, investigating...

In Ren Junyang's philosophy, they have always tried to find ways to maintain a relationship with the emperor to avoid the emperor's suspicion and worry. The emperor has also expressed satisfaction with everything they have done in the past year of taking charge of the Ren family, and now such a commotion , everything I did before was in vain, damn...

Ren Tianqi and Ren Tianheng actually agreed. Damn it, if you go to the Great Elder now, you will suffer a big loss...

"Okay..." Although he didn't want to kill Ren Junyang for Ren Jie's sake, and he didn't want to offend the emperor, let alone use the entire family's power to put pressure on the other four major families, the situation forced him to think a lot in his mind. Ren Tianzong was strong. It seemed that he was furious at first, so it was better not to offend this Shura, especially since he actually obtained the consent of Ren Tianqi and Ren Tianheng, and in the end he could only nod helplessly in agreement.
