A second.

Two seconds.

A dozen seconds passed.

Shang Yang came back to his senses from the splendid scene in front of him, and finally could say clearly and firmly: They do belong to the funds, from now on, the Shang family will give orders by themselves, and the scenery in front of them will be guided by this person named Shang Yang!

There was a pride in his chest, and the pride turned into confidence.

"Get up!"

"Master Xie"

Nearly a thousand people spoke at the same time, like thunder, and then stood up from the ground, all eyes were on Shang Yang, without exception, the moment he knelt down was equivalent to pressing all the honor on Shang Yang, from now on, Shang Yang's honor represents the honor of the Shang family, and the honor of the Shang family is their pride.

The gaze is passionate and religious.

Shang Yang didn't say more, all the ceremonies have ended at this point, and it would be a burden to say anything more, besides, for the only relatively centralized family in the world, bold words are not enough to appease people's hearts, what is needed is real change, no matter how good it sounds, it is better to do it, the so-called justice is at ease in the hearts of the people.

He turned his head slowly, bent his waist a little, and said softly: "Old man, I'll help you in, it's windy outside."

In anyone's eyes, he is a very filial junior.

Shang Taishan slowly closed his eyes, there was no longer any emotional change, it was very clear that at the moment when these people knelt down, everything was settled, even if the king of heaven Lao Tzu came, he was powerless to return to the sky, and his eyes couldn't help flashing back to the time when he succeeded the head of the family, but also in front of the ancestral hall, but also enjoyed the worship of thousands of people representing the millions of employees of the Shang family, at that moment, he had also been brilliant.

Now.

I can only let him go...

Powerless nodded.

Shang Yang still held his arm with one hand, turned around slightly, and returned to the ancestral hall.

Uncle Shen said loudly again: "Licheng, all the children of the family are dispersed..."

"Bang la la"

The people standing in the courtyard all turned around, their movements were still orderly, and they walked out of the door, nearly a thousand people, it took five minutes to withdraw from the courtyard, and the crowd dispersed like the tide of the sea, and the courtyard was dozens of times larger than the traditional courtyard, becoming empty.

They walked out of the ancestral hall, some left, some did not leave, not that there was something to do here, the people who left were the first to return to the next city, and then there was a family dinner, and those who did not leave were to worship the ancestors again.

Inside the ancestral hall.

A few chairs have been moved.

Shang Yang sat on it, the chair next to him was Shang Taishan, as for Shang Maru, he was still lying on the ground, no one needed to hold him, he couldn't stand up, his face was like ashes, it looked like a pool of walking corpses, the ancestral hall was big enough, and the three of them plus the bodyguards who had been ambushed before were here, and it was also empty.

After the prosperity, it will be more prosperous, but in the same way, there will be a little-known chicken feathers.

"Account!"

Shang Yang slowly said two words in his mouth, the reason why the Shang family can become the head of all families is not only because of the great achievements of the ancestors of the Shang family in the difficult entrepreneurial period, but also because they control the absolute lifeblood of all families, that is, the account, and all funds are allocated in a unified manner.

At the beginning of the conflict with the Time Society, Shang Taishan confiscated all the accounts into the family, that is, in his hands, and now he has become the head of the family, and he has to get the accounts.

Shang Taishan's eyes were also numb, and when he heard these two words, he couldn't help but sigh, people and wealth have been since ancient times

The two absolute factors that control stability, the human side has been controlled by Shang Yang, and there is still wealth left, according to the initial prediction, Shang Yang and Shang Yin will be eliminated from the family, and the account will be handed over to Shang Maru, so as to achieve absolute control, and it is too late to say anything now.

"Can you spare his life?"

He replied no.

Looking at Shang Maru on the ground, it hurts in my heart, my favorite little son has become like this, and now, I know very well what Shang Yang will do to him, but I still hope to let him live.

In fact, he didn't know why, when Shang Yin and Shang Maru were born, he didn't like Shang Yin, and he didn't like it for many years, and the candidate for the head of the family never thought about Shang Yin, which Cheng thought, and finally the position of the head of the family fell into Shang Yang's hands.

"You're negotiating terms with me?"

Shang Yang asked with a smile, and turned his head: "Old man, what I have always regarded as a classic is: people are self-aware, and they must conform to their own identity when they do things, and if they don't express their opinions on the basis of their identity, they will be easily beaten!"

In the past, if someone dared to talk to Shang Taishan like this, they would be considered crazy, even if it was the head of the huge consortium of the Time Society, and even some people in power, they did not dare to show off their might in front of him, nothing more than that, he was the head of the Shang family.

Now it's different, he's not, and Shang Yang is!

Shang Taishan subconsciously gave birth to a fire in his heart, the noble bloodline from birth, coupled with a lifetime of experience in power, his heart could not tolerate the slightest insult, but then this anger quickly dissipated, indeed, people have to recognize the reality, the young man sitting next to him can already command everyone in the Shang family.

As the saying goes: If there are horses in front of people, they are not rich, and some people in the family are not poor.

Money that is divorced from people is waste paper...

With a consultative mouth, he asked, "Is it okay for me to hand over the account and save his life?"

"Two different things!"

Shang Yang stared at him: "The account is the problem of the account, and it can't be compared with him, I want you now... Hand over the account!"

In the end, it was almost word by word, and there was a creepy chill in the words.

Shang Taishan's face trembled, even if he was in all favors, there was still a trace of struggle in his heart, and he didn't want to hand over the account, after all, that was the most precious thing, but it was very clear that Shang Yang's position as the head of the family had been obtained, and he could order all the personnel to get all the information and data of the account, it was only a matter of time, he could completely snatch the account in his hands.

"I'll pay!"

He replied heavily, it is pointless to fight, it is better to be calm, this guy can do everything, he is more likely to destroy the Shang family in anger, in that way, he really has no face to see the ancestors and ancestors, and he pondered for a moment and said: "Wang Tianxiao is definitely not willing to be subordinate, especially after a long time, his thoughts are not easy to be restrained, you have to be careful, the Shang family can't be obtained by him..."

This sentence is his sincere words, it is one thing to look down on Shang Yang, it is another thing to look down on Shang Yang, the Shang family is another thing, Wang Tianxiao can come back, there must be some agreement with Shang Yang, as for the content of the agreement, it must be unfavorable to Shang Yang and beneficial to Wang Tianxiao, otherwise Wang Tianxiao has absolutely no reason to help him, and he still knelt down today to express his determination.

"I don't bother you with this..."Shang Yang didn't answer, and then finally looked at Shang Maru on the ground, and said: "I'll give you two choices, one is: kill him with your own hands, and the other is: commit suicide, this is the price you should pay, choose one..."

said plainly, but for Shang Taishan, it is no less than a thunderbolt on a sunny day.

An otherwise lifeless face

, suddenly regained his vitality, turned his head and looked at Shang Yang in astonishment, these two choices are not the logical relationship between life and death at all, but killing people!

Many of the customs of the Shang family continue the feudal customs of China.

For example, horizontal death, that is, people who do not die of illness cannot enter the ancestral tomb, and due to the particularity of the Shang family, there are too many enemies, and there is a high degree of uncertainty for the Shang family, so this point has been changed: people who commit suicide cannot enter the ancestral tomb, after all, suicide is in their own hands.

Shang Yang's subtext is:

You kill your favorite son with your own hands and let you enter the ancestral tomb, which is the mountain behind the ancestral hall, and in order to stabilize people's hearts, the tablet can even be enshrined in the ancestral hall.

If you don't kill Shomaru with your own hands, you'll be removed from the family tree!

"What about cruelty?"

Shang Yang was indifferent, and even smiled: "It's just a matter of treating others the way they do, old man, if it were me who fell today, the ending would be even more tragic than this... Isn't that right?"

The corners of Shang Taishan's eyes were instantly moist when he was asked, and he admitted that if Shang Yang was defeated, his family of people, especially those in Huaxia, would definitely not end well, and he couldn't be blamed for being ruthless, for the sake of stability, in front of the family, anyone and anything was insignificant.

Now, it's all the other way around.

Son?genealogy?

How to choose?

He also looked at Shang Maru slowly, tears fell like rain, for the first time in his life, he felt the sadness of not having rights, it used to be the sorrow of others, feng shui took turns, it was his turn...

Shang Yang raised his watch and said, "Time is very tight, and I still need a family dinner, although it is just a formality, I can't go too late, old man, my patience is limited..."

Shang Taishan raised his hand to cover his chest again, and almost spurted blood again, this choice was too difficult.

There was silence for a full minute.

Slowly stood up, walked towards Shang Maru step by step, walked to the side and bent down, his arm was trembling constantly, raised his hand to grab Shang Maru's hair, not too hard, Shang Maru's head had been grabbed, Shang Maru's face did not fluctuate, all the skin was loose, his expression was sluggish, and it looked a little scary to describe it simply.

Shang Yang looked at it without sadness or joy.

"You... I'm so disappointed, why can't you fight for some anger!" Shang Taishan burst into tears, if he only said one word of truth today, then it was undoubtedly this sentence, if Shang Maru could control a trace of power by himself, how could Shang Yang sit here?

Shang Maru seemed to be stimulated by this sentence, his eyes moved, and then he turned into a lifeless appearance.

"Huh"

Shang Taishan let go of his hand, turned to face Shang Yang, supported his knees with both hands, and even knelt down slowly, holding his hands on the ground, and his head slammed on the ground, exactly the same as the legendary five-body throwing to the ground.

His body trembled and said: "The old man Shang Taishan knocked on the head of the family, and asked the head of the family to be merciful and spare his life, and let me... Let me enter the genealogy, the old man is willing, willing to commit suicide to apologize... I hope the head of the family will be perfect!"

The former first person of the family knelt on the ground like this.

Shang Yang stared at his slightly shriveled figure, and after a few seconds, a smile overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and he stood up and said, "Congratulations, you have completed the test, congratulations..."

After speaking, he walked out of the ancestral hall.

At the same time, from the position where these bodyguards came out just now, two more people walked out, passed through the ancestral hall, walked out of the ancestral hall, and followed Shang Yang...

These bodyguards in the ancestral hall are blindfolded, and they don't understand where these two people came out at all.
