Qin Lianshan tried hard to restrain his anger and said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency Gou Sheng, judging from your tone, do you think that our Qin family will definitely lose in four years?"
Gou Sheng leaned on the chair and said slowly: "In the entire Luojiang County, many new forces have emerged in the past twenty years, and there are at least seven or eight who are qualified to compete for a position in the poor family. wWW,QuANbEn-XiAoShUo,cOM However, in our entire Luojiang County, the total number of large and small aristocratic seats is only more than thirty. These aristocratic seats are indeed few, and there are really many people fighting for them. Take the cattle from your Donglin Town medicinal material shop As for the shopkeeper, with his current power and connections, does Brother Lian Shan think you can keep your seat as a humble family? What is the situation of your humble Qin family now? I believe you, Chief Qin, know better than Mr. Gou. ?”
Although Qin Lianshan was extremely angry, he endured it and put down the teacup in his hand calmly.
"My Qin family has experienced this 'family evaluation' for more than twenty generations. To show off my qualifications, when I was the Qin family, there were only a few powerful families like these in Luojiang County. I have seen a lot of strong winds and waves. This work of evaluation is presided over by the Zhenwu Holy Land, and all the people in charge are personally appointed by His Majesty the Emperor. Who has many connections and long fingers, can they reach the Zhenwu Holy Land? "
Qin Lianshan's answer was neither humble nor arrogant. Although he also understands that the family is in a difficult situation, how can he, who has always been strong, show his timidity in front of outsiders
Gou Sheng laughed twice and stared at Qin Lianshan with a strange expression. The look in his eyes was even a little presumptuous, as if he was openly bullying someone, and even his title had changed.
"Brother Lianshan, I'm not talking about you. Your Qin family does have some traditions, but they are all recorded in the old almanac. Don't you know what 'feng shui turns' means? These days, does the review officer Justice, doesn't it all depend on personal moral cultivation? Do you think His Majesty the Emperor is really boring enough to care about the work of judging the merits of this small county? Besides, this world is all about survival of the fittest. Who has strong skills, who has enough energy, who Just come to power and contribute more to the country. This is the law of nature! Who cares what means you use? Tradition is worthless in our Baiyue country... "
No matter how patient he was, Qin Lianshan suddenly changed his expression after hearing these words. He couldn't help but stand up and said, "Your Excellency Gou Sheng, it seems that you don't want to show me a clear path for the Qin family, but you want to cut off my Qin family's retreat. Right
"Happy!" Gou Sheng was not polite, stood up, and said tit for tat, "Brother Lianshan, please forgive me for being frank. Your Qin family will definitely fail in the next 'Family Ranking'. This is a poor family seat. Give it up no matter what. I believe you know the situation of the Qin family better than me. Once you lose this seat, everything about your Qin family will become nothing. I think you don’t want to be left empty-handed. , a state of poverty, right?”
"Huh huh..." These words were tantamount to a slap in the face. Qin Lianshan sneered and retorted, "It sounds like Mr. Gou Sheng, you still care about my Qin family? I'm afraid you're not so kind, right? What's the shame? If so, you might as well say it directly and don’t hold it in your belly.”
Gou Sheng laughed unscrupulously. The angrier Qin Lianshan became, the prouder he became.
"As I said before, the Qin family will take the initiative to give up their seats as nobles. The wealthy Xu family can ensure that your Qin family will have no worries about food and clothing. Otherwise, four years later, your Qin family will be ruined." Gou Sheng was frank enough, and then he laughed maliciously and added, "Of course, it is still unknown whether your Qin family can survive until four years later."
Qin Lianshan glanced at Xu Sihai, but saw that this man was leisurely and calm, and did not pay attention to Qin Lianshan's reaction at all.
The wealthy Xu family is one of the three wealthy families in Luojiang County. Its power is indeed unmatched by the Qin family. Just talking about Xu Sihai, I am afraid that one person can kill his entire Qin family.
You have to endure this breath if you can; if you can't, you have to endure it!
Click!
Qin Lianshan grabbed a hand of debris, and the armrests of the chair he was sitting on were immediately broken into pieces. He said coldly: "Your Excellency Gou Sheng, Mr. Xu Sihai, the power of my Qin family has declined, but it has not yet reached the point of being slaughtered by others. Qin The seat of the noble family is hard-won, and Mr. Qin will never allow it to be ruined under my hands. If you want it, come and get it, no matter how clever it is, I, Mr. Qin, will take it with all my strength!"
As soon as these words came out, Gou Sheng's face immediately became extremely ugly.
Xu Sihai's expression, which had always been calm and clear, suddenly turned cold, and a murderous intent shot directly into his eyes. He looked Qin Lianshan up and down.
"Clan Chief Qin, it seems that you would rather live in pieces than in ruins, right?"
Wu Xinghe was surprisingly motionless. It was not that he had no feelings, but he wanted to see how his father would act in this situation.
Qin Lianshan was so arrogant that he didn't care that the man he was talking to was from the Xu family. He rolled his eyes and said proudly: "My Qin family's ancestral precepts say, anyone who plots against our Qin family's property should be attacked with five times the force; Those who belong to my Qin family will be attacked with ten times the force; those who want to destroy our Qin family, attack them with all their strength, even if they are both jade and stone!"
The sonorous and powerful response immediately made Qin Lianshan's attitude clear.
"Sister, see off my father's guests!"
Gou Sheng was so angry that his face turned purple, and he suddenly laughed evilly.
"Well, you Qin Lianshan! It seems that you are toasting instead of eating, and you want to drink as a penalty! OK, OK, OK, OK, OK, OK, OK, OK, OK, OK, OK, when your family is on the streets, someone from me will come and spit on your face again. Don't blame me for adding insult to injury."
When Wu Xinghe heard this, he couldn't help laughing and asked leisurely: "From what you said, Gou, doesn't it seem that you are here to add insult to injury today? Mr. Gou Sheng, I would like to advise you that all your troubles are caused by force. You are running away today." Come to my Qin's house to show off your words and show your prestige. To put it bluntly, it's just a dog taking advantage of people's power. But you have to be careful about the sap that appears from nowhere and beats the dog and its owner together. That's not good."
Gou Sheng was speechless for a long time, and then he said angrily: "Qin Lianshan, you father and son sing in unison. He who is completely ignorant of current affairs is a hero, and he will regret it sooner or later!"
When Jin Buyi saw Wu Xinghe speaking, he came up to him with a smile and said: "Qin Wushuang, since your injury is fine, you still have to report to Wutong Academy. Your student status is still in Wutong Academy. Even if you want to drop out, you have to go through some procedures. .Furthermore, all the noble children of Baiyue Kingdom go to Wutong Academy for further studies. Hiding at home is not an option."
It sounded like he was thinking about Qin Wushuang, but how could Wu Xinghe not see that he had bad intentions? But he didn't try to expose it, and responded with a smile on his face: "Of course Wu Tongyuan will have to go back, thank you, the dean, for reminding me."
"Well, well, that's good! No matter how the situation changes, at this stage of your life, everything is focused on your studies." Jin Buyi smiled cunningly and walked out.
"The road ahead is long and unpredictable. I won't send the students away. Dean, please be careful along the way. If you take a wrong step, you may end up in an abyss."
What seemed like good words actually contained Wu Xinghe's warning and threat. It's just that at this stage, no one can decipher the implication in Wu Xinghe's tone, and they don't pay attention to a little martial boy who escaped from death at all.
After sending away the three evil guests, Qin Lianshan asked in a solemn tone: "Wushuang, do you plan to return to Wutong Academy?"
"why not?"
Wu Xinghe looked at the backs of the three evil guests leaving and said with profound meaning.
"Jin Buyi is a well-known hypocrite in Luojiang County. He must have bad intentions when he invites you back to Wu Tongyuan." Qin Lianshan reminded.
"Since these three people can join forces, how can they have any good intentions? Because of this uneasy good intention, I should go back to Wu Tongyuan to have a look. This is a matter of attitude."
Wu Xinghe's logic is very simple. If you want to know how unfavorable the situation is, you have to experience it yourself. If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you catch the tiger's cubs
Qin Lianshan looked at his son and felt in a daze that his son's whole temperament seemed to have changed after this disaster. Especially the eyes are no longer as evasive as before, and they no longer look shy and timid. They are more calm and confident.
Especially when he was bullied by three bad guys just now, his son's extreme personality was able to endure it until the end before speaking. Apart from anything else, his self-restraint alone was already a hundred times better than before.
"Father, looking back on my duel, it was basically a conspiracy. This conspiracy was not just targeting me personally, but the poor seat and huge foundation of our Qin family!"
Qin Lianshan's face was solemn and uncertain. Of course he knew this, which was why he asked his son to return to Donglin Town. After all, the son is there, the incense is there, the incense is there, and the hope is there.
If anything happens to her son again, the Qin family will have to explain everything...
"Wushuang, since you can analyze this truth, do you still plan to go back to Wu Tongyuan?" Qin Lianshan wanted to know what his son was thinking about.
"Father, that Gou Sage is sour and of low character, yet he dares to come to our Qin Family Village to show off his power. Of course, he is a dog relying on human power, bullying good and fearing evil. But if you think about it from another angle, don't you think that our Qin Family Village is a sick cat? You can’t show off your power at all, so there’s nothing to be afraid of?”
Qin Lianshan sighed sadly, knowing that his son was right. If it were more than a hundred years ago, when the Qin family was prosperous and wealthy, how many people in Luojiang County would dare to talk loudly in Qin Family Village? Not to mention such blatant threats.
"Father, I have been thinking a lot these days. The prosperity of the Qin family depends on you and me. I lost that duel, but it may not be all bad. The so-called survival of the catastrophe must be I will be blessed in the future. If I can't even withstand the wind and rain, and if I encounter some difficulties, I will hide back in Qinjiazhuang and dare not see anyone. How can I carry my family on my shoulders in the future? "
These words hit the point and touched a certain nerve in Qin Lianshan. Especially when he looked at his son who had survived the catastrophe, his whole body was filled with vitality. Whether it was his eyes or his movements, he was full of energy, which was qualitatively different from his usual character.
Vaguely, he seemed to see in his son a kind of Nirvana that was reborn from the ashes.
Qin Lianshan glared, and finally nodded: "Good son, you are ambitious. Father promises you!"
Then the conversation changed and he said in a solemn tone: "But you have to promise your father that when you return to Luojiang County Wu Tongyuan, you have to endure the humiliation and bear the burden and not fall into the trap of others again."
Wu Xinghe suddenly became arrogant, moved the corner of his mouth slightly, and said proudly with a look of disdain: "Father, please don't worry, after the disaster, I already know what it means to do something and what not to do."
Something to do and something not to do
Qin Lianshan opened his eyes and looked at his son with a more thoughtful expression.
