Guan Suyi and Mu Mu didn't wake up until three poles in the sun. This time, Mr. Zhong didn't call anyone with the feather duster, but instead let them go. Jin Zi and Ming Lan each received 20 big boards, and now they are still in the young lady's room with injuries. Taohong had already been sold, and she cried when she left, but it didn't make Zhong's heart soften.
At noon, when the patriarch heard that Mu Mu had returned safely, he brought a large group of clan elders to the door. On the surface, he said condolences, but in reality he forced the Guan family to intercede for Guan Wenhai and let him out.
"Daughter-in-law of Yunqi, the Guan family has studied Confucianism from generation to generation, and has always passed on benevolence and magnanimity. Mu Mu is safe and sound, so why should he kill Wen Hai? As long as you say two good words for him, You can let him out. He is talented, he is still young, and he has a great future waiting. If he has a future, he will definitely repay you thousands of times. Now, if you kill without teaching, wouldn’t it be against the teachings of your ancestors? You can't write two words in one stroke. Everyone is relatives connected by blood. One is prosperous and one is lost. If his reputation is ruined, doesn't it mean that Guan's reputation is also ruined? His virtue is bad, doesn't it mean that Guan It doesn't matter if the clan is corrupted and humiliated? It doesn't matter if we are white, let people talk about a few words without losing a piece of meat, but the old man and Yunqi still have a foothold in the court, and the reputation of the clan is ruined. Think for Wen Hai, not for the whole clan, but also for yourself, right? As long as you play the emperor and say that everything is a misunderstanding, Mu Mu is lost by himself, the reputation of the clan will be preserved, and the virtue of the Guan family will also be preserved. , isn't it the best of both worlds?"
Because Emperor Shengyuan suppressed the news, these people only knew that Mu Mu was safe, but they didn't know how he turned around, and they didn't know that even Guan Suyi had been missing for a day and a night. Thus, there is the above statement.
The Zhong family remembered what happened to the two children, and the son who died in vain. The hatred for the clan has reached its peak.
She slowly turned the teacup in her hand and said, "Guan Wenhai has confessed in prison, saying that it was he who sent people to kidnap Mu Mu and planned to sell it to Tonggu. Yesterday, Long Jinwei was the one who sent Mu Mu from Tonggu. Mu has been found and returned. The reason why Guan Wenhai was arrested, anyone with a discerning eye will know, it must have spread all over Beijing by now. Such a wicked person, you force us to be light-hearted, this is not to treat Mu Mu as a person at all. Don't you take our Guan family seriously? That's right, if Guan Wenhai is convicted, the Guan family's reputation will indeed be greatly damaged. Outsiders will definitely point to your spine and scold you for being a jerk. In order to avoid being implicated, I can ask the old man to excuse Guan Wenhai, just pretend it never happened."
Everyone was overjoyed. They didn't expect the Zhong family to be so easy to talk. If even such deep hatred can be endured, it is not an exaggeration to make more demands, right? Anyway, there is no successor in the Guan family. If you don’t want to cut off the descendants and lose the family business, you have to rely on the support of the clan
Thinking like this, another clan elder said slowly, "Yunqi's daughter-in-law knows righteousness and is worthy of being the daughter of Wenhao Zhong. In this case, I will thank Wen Hai here, and when he comes out safely, we will let him go. He came to the door to make amends. Everyone is of the same clan. If one person is in trouble, the whole clan should support each other. How can we divide you and me? , Although there is a family study, there are not many people who can afford to repair. There are more people, and the Emperor Shifu is the mainstay of the clan. Is there an extra silver tael? With the output of the sacrificial fields to support, the clansmen will be well fed and clothed, and will soon be able to live a good life. Can the Guan clan be reborn? It was glorious in the past, but it all depends on the Imperial Master's Mansion."
Zhong Shi finally deeply realized a sentence - good people are deceived by others. If you take a step back, you will not gain understanding and harmony, but step back step by step, until you are squeezed out of all your value, and you will be trampled under your feet like the dirt on the ground.
The Guan clan is indeed benevolent and magnanimous, but what can really be done is only in the line of the old man, so they have been bullied and used by the clan for generations, and it has long been the norm. He almost suffered the tragic death of both children, and Zhong was unbearable.
She nodded and said, "I don't want to accept the repair, I will buy it for you, and Guan Wenhai will release it, and I will agree to all your requests. When the old man and husband come back from the dynasty, we will write an indictment and burn the ancestors. Please get rid of the clan. From now on, the Guan family is the Guan family, the Guan family is the Guan family, and there is no more connection."
Everyone was shocked, and they never expected that the Zhong clan would fight back decisively, abandoning the clan and leaving. There is no precedent for self-invitation to expel the clan, because no one in the world would do this, and they would not be able to live without the clan. However, the situation of the Emperor Shifu and the clan is completely opposite. The reason why the Guan clan has a detached status in Yanjing is because of the high power of the emperor and Taichang; most of the orphans and widows in the clan are supported by the emperor's house; the sacrificial fields are purchased by the emperor's house; the clan science is built by the emperor's house. Everything is bestowed by the Emperor Shifu, they are nothing more than silverfish attached to the residence, relying on Guan Yunqi to have no succession to make a fortune and squeeze them to the extreme.
At present, the Zhong clan was finally driven to a dead end by them. Not only did he give away the clan school for free, he purchased the sacrificial fields and released them to Guan Wenhai, and he also wrote an indictment letter and asked to expel the clan. What they should do and what they can do, they have done their best for their clan. When outsiders know about this, they will not scold the Emperor Shifu for being unkind and injustice.
On the bright side, the clan was removed from the Emperor Shifu, but in fact, is it that the Emperor Shifu gave up the clan? There is no need to bear it any longer, Mu Mu's disappearance has obviously stepped on the bottom line of Zhong's!
The needles fell silently in the hall. Several elders were sweating and trembling with fear. Only the patriarch said in disapproval, "You are a woman, what qualifications do you have to be the master of Yunqi? Do you know how big a thing it is to ask for a clan?"
"I know. Since we asked to expel the clan, we don't have to support a group of white-eyed wolves; we don't have to be forced to choose a so-called heir. My emperor and teacher's mansion has a lot of business, and I will give it to anyone I want in the future, and it has nothing to do with you. Even if your husband is valued by the emperor, and the title of title or Shilu will not fall into your hands. As for whether I can be the master, I will wait for your father-in-law to reply."
These words were not on the whim of Mr. Zhong. Last night, he waited so hard for the children to return, and the old man ordered them like this. He has had enough. Guan Fu even bluntly said that he wanted to abolish the clan, and told them to go back to wherever they came from. Buying sacrificed fields and releasing Guan Wenhai, but in order to block Youyou's public, the Guan family has done their best, and the evidence of Guan Wenhai killing people is conclusive, what else can be said
Seeing her firm attitude, the patriarch started to panic, and waited for two quarters of an hour like sitting on pins and needles, and sure enough, the serious-faced old man and Guan father came.
He bowed his hands to everyone and sighed, "This old man has no virtue, he treated the family wrongly, and even resentment was added to his body, and disaster was imminent, so he asked himself to get rid of the family and stop harming others and himself. Just now I have petitioned the emperor, begging him to release him. Guan Wenhai, think about it now that he has returned safely. I dare not shirk the sin of the family. Now I have reported to the emperor to ask for the Holy Judgment. Chaotang. I lost my morals and behavior, which caused my family to suffer this great disaster, and also implicated the younger generation in the clan to be imprisoned. Ancestor, the confession letter will be handed over to the patriarch in a few days, and he will be asked to read it on his behalf. Ashamed and ashamed, everyone, please return."
The old man said every word that he was wrong. In fact, he had harmed the clan because of his deeds, and he had no choice but to extricate himself from the clan. But who can hide this? I'm afraid even a fool can't hide it. Every time he admits a mistake, he slaps the clan's face with a slap in the face. Since ancient times, only the most wicked people will excommunicate the clan, but the emperor's house is full of benevolence and righteousness, and the virtues are strong, and they can force them to leave voluntarily. The Guan clan is also quite capable.
The emperor said that he had let the two think about it behind closed doors, but he rewarded many treasure chests, which are now piled up in the yard.
After eliminating the clan, the Emperor Shida can pass the mantle to Mu Mu, or ask Guan Suyi to find a son-in-law who comes to the house, where does he need to rely on others? They can not depend on the clan, but the clan cannot but rely on them. Without the banner of the Emperor Shi family, who knows which tablet you are on? No matter how many sacrifice fields are purchased, they will be taken away by the tyrants in an instant.
It can be said that the Guan clan without the Emperor Shifu has no place in Yanjing City at all. Where did it come from, and where did it go back. However, there is no airtight wall in the world, and when the news is returned to the place of origin, there will only be more people who fall into the trap. In a single thought, the entire clan was overthrown, and the clan leader was terrified. The rest of the clan elders were embarrassed and frightened, racking their brains to figure out how to recover.
But Father Guan would not give them a chance to speak, and politely said, "This matter has been reported to the emperor, but it will be known to the whole world in a short time. Please don't say more. I have already appointed the steward to handle the purchase of the sacrificial fields. There are 6,000 hectares of fertile land, which is enough to support the young and old of the clan. Please."
The clan elders who were driven to the door by him looked at each other in dismay, and finally returned in frustration. Even the emperor knows, there is really no room for recovery. For an unworthy son, but losing the support of the clan, no one can bear this burden. Guan Wenhai's reputation is already rotten, what else can he do other than eat rice to save him? Without the protection of the Emperor Shifu, the Guan family will belong to someone else sooner or later.
"I said at the beginning, don't anger the emperor for a junior, but you don't listen! It's all right," the clan elder, who had never said a word in the emperor's mansion, finally said, "You all go home and pack your bags. , Yanjing City has no place for our clan to stand!"
"If the clan disposes of Guan Wenhai, the emperor will be soft-hearted, and he should not have done too much." Another person said.
The patriarch burst into anger, but under the resentful gazes of everyone, his back was gradually hunched, and he fled in embarrassment. He also knows that if the Guan family really loses the backing of the Emperor Shifu, his position as the patriarch will be fulfilled.
