Chapter 56: The Burial
A storm that ended with the loss of one important person each from the Martial Arts Merchant Alliance and the Celestial Supervisor, and the retreat of all the large forces.
Jiangbei has regained calm on the surface, at least most ordinary people, don't worry about someone breaking into the door in the middle of the night, or the loser who flees for his life, or the winner who pursues and robs while the fire is taking advantage of the victory, and now in the end, they can at least sleep peacefully.
However, tonight someone is destined to not be able to sleep.
The members of the five wealthy families, the remaining four wealthy families, no one is asleep, some kneel in front of their ancestral halls, praying for the blessing of their ancestors, and some get together to whisper, planning whether to mention escape or wait for the judgment of fate......
Compared with the Ye family and the Qian family, who were in a desperate atmosphere, the people of the Wang family, who relied on Wang Chuan to lead the abandonment of darkness and the light, were a little lucky.
When the Prison Heaven Division and the Martial Arts Business Alliance were attacking Jiangbei, many people complained that Wang Chuan couldn't recognize the situation clearly, and following Wu Fan was to bring the Wang family to a dead end.
But now, the Wang family who once said these words shut up one after another, and praised Wang Chuan's foresight whenever they met, so that the Wang family could survive.
The Liang family, the old lady Liang Taiyi, gathered all the family members and repeatedly sincerely invited Liang Qingzhu, who is now the president of the Late Autumn Group, to attend the family dinner together.
At this time, Liang Qingzhu is no longer an illegitimate daughter who was once disliked, used, and looked down upon by the Liang family, but the chairman and president of the Liang family's most profitable industry, the Late Autumn Group.
She is in a high position and has a huge amount of wealth and power, and I don't know how many children of the Liang family have been jealous and even resentful.
However, now they don't even dare to have a trace of jealousy, when others are not much different from themselves, or even congenitally insufficient, but they behave better than themselves, they can still be jealous.
But now, Liang Qingzhu's status, especially Liang Qingzhu's childhood sweetheart, they don't even have the qualifications to be jealous.
Walking in the luxurious but very stylish house of the Liang family, like a famous garden, Liang Qingzhu looked around curiously, after all, this was the first time she walked into this century-old wealthy family, the place where her father once lived.
"Qingzhu, good ...... Good boy, come on, come on!" Liang Taiyi personally came to the door of the hall to greet him, which was a treatment that even Liang Chengye could not get.
Liang Qingzhu nodded politely, neither flattered as others thought, nor arrogantly losing Liang Taiyi's face.
In general, although the Liang family's attitude towards her has changed drastically before, in her heart, she still can't find a sense of belonging to the Liang family.
The Liang family banquet ended in this harmonious and somewhat alienated atmosphere, as the most respected and well-known old lady of the Liang family, Liang Taiyi, finally in front of all the descendants of the Liang family, I would like to inform everyone that the Late Autumn Group is only owned by Liang Qingzhu alone, which is the private property left by Liang Chengwan to his daughter, no matter at any time, no one can covet it.
Liang Taiyi's words completely determined the ownership of the Late Autumn Group, so that the Liang family no longer had any relationship with the Late Autumn Group.
Otherwise, no one knows if at some point in the future, someone will have forgotten the fear brought by Wu Fan and be controlled by greed to reach out to the Late Autumn Group.
Liang Qingzhu nodded in greeting, expressing his gratitude to Liang Taiyi for this move.
She knew that even for her sake, Wu Fan would not completely move the Liang family, the Liang family could not survive this catastrophe completely without loss, and someone must be responsible for what the Liang family had done.
And she will not plead with Wu Fan for the sake of the Liang family, who has no feelings.
The only thing she can do for the Liang family is to express her attitude, she has no unquenchable hatred for the Liang family, if there is, Liang Taiyi will also repay it with his own life.
Finally, under the auspices of Liang Taiyi, in front of the ancestral ancestral hall, Liang Taiyi wanted to announce that he would pass the position of the head of the Liang family to Liang Qingzhu.
A woman is in charge of the house, and as the head of a big family, this kind of thing has never happened in a century-old and traditional wealthy family like the Liang family, and no one has even thought about it.
But today, after Liang Taiyi proposed it, except for the shock on everyone's faces at the beginning, no one spoke out against it.
Even if they don't want to, they have to accept it!
Even Liang Chengye, who had been the head of the family and was later deposed by the old lady again, but was destined to return to the position of head of the family after the old lady left, did not dare to oppose Liang Qingzhu's decision to be the head of the house at this time.
There was silence in the ancestral hall, and Liang Taiyi said to Liang Qingzhu as kindly as he could with a smile on his old face:
"Child, come, snort three times in front of your ancestors, sit in this position, you are the head of my Liang family!"
In the envious eyes of everyone in the Liang family, Liang Qingzhu slowly stepped forward and walked in front of Liang Taiyi, but he did not kowtow in front of the ancestral tablet as he thought.
Liang Qingzhu shook his head, and said with alienation on his beautiful face: "I won't be the head of the Liang family, and I won't kowtow this either." ”
In the face of the great change in the faces of the Liang family, Liang Qingzhu was still calm, and said word by word:
"I grew up in Nam Wan Village, and my relatives were only my mother, Uncle and Aunt Wu, and ...... Wu Fange, the Liang family, is just an obsession of his mother's life.
Now, now that I have fulfilled my mother's obsession, I agree to write my name into the Liang family tree, but emotionally, I have no relationship with the Liang family.
The people who hurt my mother and father are dead, and I have nothing to hate about the Liang family, I wish you all the best of luck!"
After speaking, Liang Qingzhu turned around and left the Liang family ancestral hall.
At the door of Liang's house, Liang Qingzhu got into a black stretch car directly after coming out, and after getting into here, she saw the person sitting and waiting for her inside, and her beautiful and strong face regained some softness and warmth.
"Wood ......" Liang Qingzhu opened his mouth, and stopped talking.
"Don't worry, I'm not a person who kills indiscriminately, although the Liang family is rotten, but after all, it still retains the arrogance and cleanliness of an old nobleman, and the evil things committed are not unforgivable, except for some people who have to pay the price, others will not have any big problems. As if knowing Liang Qingzhu's intentions, Wu Fan took the initiative to explain to her.
No matter how ruthless Liang Qingzhu said inside, the Liang family is the Liang family where his father is after all, and she still doesn't want to see the Liang family suffer a big purge, and it may even be wiped out like the Gong family.
Wu Fan's words reassured her!
But Liang Qingzhu knew that this was the one who did less evil in the Liang family among the wealthy families in Jiangbei, otherwise, if the Liang family was really full of evil, Wu Fan would not open up to the Liang family because of anyone.
Of course, if that's the case, she won't intercede for the Liang family, these high-ranking wealthy families will have to pay the due price for their lawless evil behavior after all!
The next day, under the live broadcast of the whole city in Jiangbei and under the gaze of the people in the city, the Xiaoyuan Village Cemetery was officially completed, and all the wealthy businessmen and giants in Jiangbei, those who were once high and powerful, were all present, at this time they lined up in two rows and bowed their heads to welcome a coffin carried by the remaining four wealthy families into the cemetery.
Liang Taiyi of the Liang family, Wang Chuan of the Wang family (instead of the dead Wang Wei), Ye Wei of the Ye family, Qian Jiangshan of the Qian family, and the heads of the four wealthy families, carried Wang Tiezhu's coffin into the cemetery and buried them in a position that had been prepared long ago in the center.
Wang Tiezhu's body no longer exists, and what is in the coffin is just some tokens from his lifetime to represent him.
Inside, is a medal of merit!
That was when Wu Fan was still a junior officer, the first time he carried out a mission with Wang Tiezhu, detouring thousands of miles behind enemy lines in an army of millions, ambushing an enemy general who was temporarily recalled to the national capital and needed to break away from the large army.
That was Wang Tiezhu's first meritorious service and won the meritorious medal that Wu Fan personally put on for him, after the award ceremony, Wang Tiezhu found him innocently and handed over the meritorious medal to Wu Fan.
At that time, Wang Tiezhu said honestly and honestly: "Wu Fan, I'...... I don't know how long I'll live, maybe I'll ...... Just, I think you are a rich and noble person, we are all from Jiangbei, you are now my chief, when I was a child, the old fortune teller in my Xiaoyuan Village said, you must be a long-lived hundred-year-old person in the future, the dragon among people,
Therefore, I will give you this medal for safekeeping, and if one day I die in battle and I can't find the bones, you can use this medal as a token of burial!"
Wu Fan looked at Wang Tiezhu's burial, and then greeted the bones or tokens of former soldiers one by one, as if every time he saw them before the battle, with the eyes of the general, he sent them on their last journey!
