Chapter 188: The Storm Rises Again
"Haha, okay, girl, it's right if you think so, you won't lose money if you marry Chu Jiang, if Chu Jiang releases the wind to take a concubine now, it is estimated that the people who come to marry the girl can line up from the door of Chu to the outside of Blackstone Town. Han Shuang said overjoyed.
"Hmm. Hongling nodded obediently, there was no refutation, the master's words, how could the subordinates have room to refute.
And in Han Shuang's heart, which she couldn't see, Hongling sighed resignedly: "Alas, if you are a concubine, you can be a concubine, at least the person you like, it is better than marrying other young masters as concubines, this may be our fate." ”
"Girl, come here, you haven't eaten yet, come, sit down and eat together." Seeing Hongling's deferential appearance, Han Shuang smiled slightly and beckoned to her.
"The slave and maid don't dare, and ask the lady to take back her life! The so-called elder and young are orderly, and there is a difference between respect and inferiority, what kind of identity is the lady, how can she eat with the slave and maid?" Hongling's face changed slightly, and she hurriedly bowed and saluted.
"Haha, it's okay, Hongling, if you can marry the fifth elder as a concubine, your position in the family in the future will be only higher than mine, madam, I am talking to you in advance now, come, drink a bowl of pheasant soup." Han Shuang laughed, got up and helped Hongling up, introduced it to the table, and personally scooped a bowl of pheasant soup for her, and even specially scooped the pheasant's head.
The head, for the head of the six yangs, for the meaning of the leader, on the general feast, pheasant head, deer head and other things of the head can only be eaten by the most noble people.
"Madam, I..." Looking at the pheasant head in the bowl, Hongling's heart was complicated, and she wanted to cry without tears, Han Shuang didn't know, but she clearly knew that Chu Jiang had done this pheasant.
"Girl, eat quickly, if you can really marry Chu Jiang, there will be pheasant heads to eat in the future. Han Shuang would be mistaken, thinking that Hongling was flattered to see the pheasant that symbolized the throne, and explained with a slight smile.
"Hmm. Hongling nodded, picked up the pheasant's head, took it in his mouth, and sighed secretly in his heart: "My maid's bun, in the face of the huge family trend, is destined to only go with the flow, since I can't change the ending, then I'll try to accept it, well, start with this pheasant." ”
"Haha, is it delicious? If it's delicious, eat more. Seeing Hongling's obedient appearance, Han Shuang smiled slightly.
"Mmmm, madam, the fifth elder killed two people in anger this morning, forcibly dispersed the contestants who came to seek justice, and caused such a big trouble to the family, the family will definitely punish him, right?
"No! This is a world of martial arts cultivation, everything depends on strength! After last night's battle, the head of the family and the Great Elder are no longer qualified to punish the Fifth Elder, and the Old Ancestor has been in retreat all year round and does not ask about the world, so no one can punish him now, and his position will not be shaken! Even the matter of him killing people and dispersing the contestants is not a big deal for our Chu family, it is nothing more than a damage to the reputation and notoriety, as long as the strength of the Chu family is not damaged, the Chu family will be fine!"
"Does everything depend on strength?" Hong Ling nodded slightly, muttering to herself, and her mind was in a trance.
Hongling vaguely remembered that at the gate of the ancestral courtyard, a guard stopped a five or six-year-old boy and spat on his face, and a woman in the distance stared at all this, secretly wiping away tears; In the bathroom, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old delicate girl, with a leather whip flicking, the young man on the opposite side was still stubbornly waving a dagger in front of the woman with loose hair......
"Everything really depends on strength! Young Master Jiang, you have experienced a lot of helplessness from a teenager who was beaten and scolded by others to a thug who kills people without blinking, right?" Hongling sighed secretly, and her heart couldn't help but twitch, feeling a little sorry for Chu Jiang.
Time passed slowly, and as time went by, Chu Jiang was domineering and unreasonable, beheading the two of them, and forcibly expelling the contestants who came to seek justice, which became more and more intense after fermentation.
Under the secret guidance of the other three families, under the encouragement, the Chu family was asked to be responsible for the accident of the hunting competition, and the voice of Chu Jiang was punished more and more fiercely.
Of course, the people in the town also dared to make a big splash in their mouths, and they really came to the door to trouble Chu Jiang, but they didn't dare, the tragedy at the door of the Chu family's mansion was still vivid, and they didn't want to face Chu Jiang who killed people without blinking.
Just when things were getting more and more intense, the three families of Wang Chen and Liu spoke out at the same time, announcing that the four major families would be responsible for their commitments and compensate all the contestants, and all the dead people would be compensated with 500 taels of silver for their relatives, 300 taels for serious injuries, 200 taels for minor injuries, and 100 taels for the rest.
At the same time, the three families also stated that the fundamental reason for such serious losses in this hunting competition was that Chu Jiang left with the wolf cubs, which caused the four family heads to leave, which greatly weakened the strength of the four major families and was unable to resist the sneak attack of the wolves, so the Chu family should be fully responsible, and the three of them will work with the contestants to urge the Chu family to compensate, punish Chu Jiang, and give an explanation to the contestants.
The contestants were already dissatisfied with the Chu family and tended to let the Chu family be responsible, but now that the three major families were backing, the waist pole immediately stood up, and under the leadership of the elders sent by the three families, they marched towards the Chu family's mansion.
"The head of the family, it's not good, the three major families jointly stated that the accident of this hunting competition was completely caused by the five elders taking away the wolf cubs, and we want our Chu family to take full responsibility, compensate all the participants, and punish the five elders Chu Jiang, and now those contestants have come to our mansion under the leadership of the three elders. While everyone was marching, Chu Huai also received a report from his subordinates.
"How can this be reasonable! The wolf cubs let them take away, but we have to bear the responsibility, how can there be such a reason!Which elder did the three families send here?" Chu Huai slapped the table and shouted angrily.
"The head of the family, the three families are all great elders, Wang Ying, Chen Qiufeng, and Liu Qingshan!"
"Wang Ying is also here, hurry, go and invite the Fifth Elder!Well, there are also the Great Elders, let them meet in front of the mansion!" Chu Huai's eyes shrank slightly, and he hurriedly said.
Chen Qiufeng and Liu Qingshan are just that, both of them are early stage cultivators, Chu Huai is not very jealous, but Wang Ying is a genuine early and mid-stage master, in the entire Chu family, in addition to Chu Jing, only Chu Jiang is the only one who can compete with it!
Chu Huaiwan quickly swept towards the door of the mansion, and not long after he left, Chu Jiang and Chu Yu also rushed over one after another.
"Family Master, have they come over?" I heard that the three major families jointly spoke out, let our Chu family take full responsibility, compensate all the contestants, and punish the fifth elder Chu Jiang, how is this good?" At the door of the Chu family's mansion, Chu Yu walked to Chu Huai's side and asked anxiously.
"There are too few people who are afraid of death, and when I kill two more rounds, they will all be quiet!"
