A simple and quiet bedroom, crowded with people at the moment, on the bed, lying on the old man who is not in good spirits, white hair and white beard, white nightgown, the whole look, very white, at this time the back is propped up, feeling a little difficult, between the corners of the mouth slightly moved, tightly closed the eyes, and everyone looked at the old man, did not dare to have any abnormal movement.

This old man is the old man of the Qian family, his body is getting worse and worse, and he can't support it for long, so in the past two years, he has been lying in bed and recuperating as much as possible.

In front of the bed, there was a woman kneeling, if Luo Bingbing was here at this moment, she would definitely recognize that this woman was her nominal aunt, the eldest lady of the Qian family who looked at her with a condescending and contemptuous look, at this moment the woman's mean face showed a little horror, and she also looked at the old man on the bed, not daring to move.

Except for the eldest lady who was kneeling on the ground, almost all the people from the Qian family in the room were there, of course, they were all men.

For example, Qian Zhongyuan, the head of the Qian family and the eldest of the three brothers of the Qian family, was standing closest to the old man next to the bed at this time, his body was half bent and half leaned, his face was also a little anxious, and there were all kinds of tangled mood fluctuations between his demeanor.

Yes, as the acting head of the family, he has resentment, resentment that the old man does not hand over all the power of the family to him, and has a cruel idea in his heart, he can't wait for the old man in front of him to die immediately, as long as the old man is gone, he will become the real head of the Qian family, no matter what he decides, he doesn't need to look at other people's faces.

Behind it, it is the second child of the Qian family, a middle-aged man with a solemn expression, looking at the old man on the bed, worried and anxious, compared with the boss's thin body, the second child is tall and burly, with a Chinese face, and looks a little calm, his name is Qian Zhonglu, of course this person has nothing to do with Chu He, but he has a son named Qian Youren, yes, he is the father of Qian Boss in the same dormitory of Chu River University.

As for the last middle-aged man, with a bookish face, he is the third child of the Qian family, Qian Zhongtai.

The third is a university professor, who has devoted his life to scientific research, and has no desire for the so-called struggle for power in the family, but at this time he seems very calm, and there is not much expression on his face, or as a scientific scholar, he believes that people's birth, old age, sickness and death are the laws of nature, and the old man is nearly ninety years old, and it is a normal thing to die, and there is no need to be too sad, because everyone has such a day, old age, and die.

followed by the third generation of the Yang family, several young people who began to cultivate with all their might, and Qian Youren was also among them, but on this occasion, there was really no part for him to speak, so he stood there quietly, thinking about the Qian family in his mind, yes, the Qian family's training camp was destroyed, and the hard work of more than ten years was lost, and the Qian family was shaken, of course he was no exception.

He didn't expect that the Chu family would be so domineering, at this moment, he didn't dare to say that he knew Chu He, or rather, he knew Chu He five years ago, and the current Chu family has become strangers.

In the expectation of everyone, the old man on the bed finally opened his eyes, although he was sick and very weak, but his eyes were cold and cold, like the power of a sick tiger, no one dared to look at the old man.

"Boss, what are you going to do now?"

Qian Zhongyuan, the boss of the Qian family, raised his head, his eyes flashed fiercely, and there was a feminine murderous intention, and said: "The rise of the Chu family originally needed to be resisted, although this incident was an accident, but since it has been bumped into, the Chu family has made a ruthless move, and my Qian family can't think of this pioneer." ”

The old man asked softly, "That's what you think?"

"Yes, old man, the Chu family has broken my roots and destroyed the talents cultivated by my Qian family, this feud is unsolvable, not to mention that now the whole of Kyoto is waiting, if my Qian family raises the pole, it may cause a tide of dependence, and then my Qian family can take this opportunity to develop and grow, and my nine major families are united, and the Qian family raises the flag, they will naturally follow, and when the time comes, the Chu family will be destroyed, and the benefits will be shared, and the Qian family will be able to get the lion's share, which can make my Qian family get rid of the status quo of the weakest nine families, and kill more birds with one stone. ”

It seems that he has been thinking about it for a long time, so the more the boss of the Qian family talks, the more excited he becomes, and it seems that he will be able to make a big show immediately, trample the Chu family under his feet, and then get huge profits and make the Qian family soar into the sky.

"Old man, by all means. The second child's face was shocked, and he immediately stood up and said: "Old man, the eldest brother is too idealistic, once my Qian family really takes the lead in raising the flag, the final result will definitely not be to kill multiple birds with one stone, but the Qian family may be completely destroyed and disappear into Kyoto." ”

The boss Qian Zhongyuan looked disdainful and said: "Second brother, you are too bold, take advantage of the fact that the Chu family has just been established, and your foothold is unstable, and you are just acting, although our nine major families have their own thoughts, but the attitude towards the Chu family should be the same, but everyone didn't say it, I don't believe it, they are willing to return all the benefits they got from the Chu family." ”

Although this is not wrong, the Chu family was in seclusion back then, leaving behind connections and interests, and the families in Kyoto fought openly and secretly, so they didn't have the heart to pay attention to the Chu family who left, which may also be intentional by Mrs. Chu.

The benefits are in hand, and they have been enjoyed for sixty years, and now who is willing to give them up?

Comparing his heart to his heart, Qian Zhongyuan felt that if it was himself, he would definitely not.

The second eldest Qian Zhonglu's face was angry, and he said: "Big brother, what you said is just what you think, my Qian family raised the flag, and the nine major families responded and completely destroyed the Chu family, let's not say if we can really destroy it, I will ask you, if the Qian family raises the flag, what should the remaining eight families do if they don't respond to you, do you think that the power of my Qian family can fight against the Chu family." ”

Qian Zhongyuan said: "Impossible, how can you miss such a good opportunity?"

"Okay, even if they don't want to miss it, they can drag it out and not say anything, so that when my Qian family and the Chu family fight to the death, they will come to pick up the bargain again, do you think this is possible?"

Qian Zhongyuan took a breath of cool air, if it was him, he would definitely do it.

"It's not possible, but it will definitely do this, although my nine families are in the same vein, they are the power holders in Kyoto, but everyone is not really friends, use my Qian family to test the Chu family, they will definitely do it, when my Qian family is in a desperate situation, do you think there will be someone to save us?"

Qian Zhongyuan was angry, and the second child overturned his idea in one go, making him very faceless, and shouted: "Then what can you do, my Qian family's training camp was destroyed, more than 100 people died, this news spread all over Beijing, if you don't give the Chu family a blow, where is the face of the Qian family, and if you go out in the future, won't it become the laughing stock of all families in Kyoto?"

The old man ignored Qian Zhongyuan and said, "Second brother, tell me what you think." ”

"The gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late, this breath, endure it, if one day another family raises the flag, we can get together to have a lively time, although the kid of the Chu family is indeed ruthless enough, kill him two guards, he will destroy my Qian family's training camp, killed more than 100 people, but at this moment, it is indeed not appropriate to provoke, how big the power of the Chu family is, no one knows, act recklessly, the consequences are unimaginable, the Chu family was first built, it was originally needed a chicken, my Qian family was unlucky, and it collided, but fortunately, there is no momentum with water and fire, as long as the Qian family does not move, the Chu family has no reason to make another move。 ”

"What's more, we are not the mastermind in this matter, but the foil, even if we want to blame, we can only blame the person who moved his crooked mind. ”

When the boss Qian Zhongyuan heard this, his face turned blue, he was angry, and shouted: "I am a dignified Qian family, why do I need to look at people's eyes, what about the Chu family, no matter how strong it is, it was sixty years ago, I just want to touch it and see how good the Chu family is!"

At this moment, an old man walked in quickly, everyone knew that it was the Qian family's housekeeper Fu Bo.

When Fu Bo arrived at the bed, he leaned close to the old man's ear and said softly: "Old man, I just received the news that Minister Mo has been arrested and is now inspecting the ancestors for review. ”

Although the voice was small, everyone in the room heard it, and when the woman kneeling on the ground heard it, her face changed greatly, that is Minister Mo, how can she say that she will be caught, who has so much power?

The old man waved his hand, Furber left, the old man turned his head, glared at the boss Qian Zhongyuan, and said, "Boss, this is the person you want to please?"

The boss wanted to speak, but the old man was no longer interested in listening to him, and shouted: "The boss is incompetent, reckless and unmeasured, this time the Qian family's training camp was destroyed, you have to pay most of the responsibility, deprive yourself of the position of acting head of the family, be grounded for three months, and let the second child take over the affairs of the family." ”

"Old man-----" The boss wanted to explain, but was shouted by the old man: "Shut up." "It's suppressed.

As long as the old man does not die, he is still in charge of this family.

punished the boss, the old man turned his eyes to the woman kneeling on the ground, and said mercilessly: "The eldest lady does not keep her duty, acts arbitrarily, it is not enough to set an example in the backyard, and the third-level family rules will be punished, and then the ancestral hall will be guarded for three years, and it will be executed immediately, and she will be taken out." ”

The eldest lady did not beg for mercy, although the third-level family rules will make her skin open, but she will not die, as early as when she decided to take over this matter, she had such preparations, but now it seems that everything is empty, and she is disheartened, and she has no idea of justifying.

"Second child, this matter started because of Xiaoxiu, you have to find a way to make up for it, let her return to her roots, just like you said, although my Qian family has lost a big face, but people who can endure anger and humiliation always live longer, behave and do things, don't be rash, with the strength of my Qian family, I am not the opponent of the Chu family, let my family pay attention to it in the future, I don't want this to happen again." ”

The second Qian Zhonglu immediately responded: "I know, old man, I will tell everyone." ”

The old man raised his head, swept towards the crowd, saw Qian Youren, and beckoned gently.

Qian Youren stepped forward and shouted respectfully, "Grandpa." ”

"Youren, grandpa was really wrong in the past, preventing you from associating with Chu He, for fear of getting into trouble, now the two families are at odds, you have to help your father resolve this resentment, how do you say that you also have the feelings of classmates, if you have time, go to the Chu family to visit, and tell Chu He what happened today. ”

"I know Grandpa. ”

What happened to the Qian family, Chu He really didn't know, even if he knew, he wouldn't care, don't talk about the Qian family, even if it was the union of the nine top families, he would dare to fight, the word cowardice no longer belonged to him.

Chu He and the Qian family have no enmity, they destroyed the Qian family's training camp, just gave them a warning, if the Qian family admits it, Chu He will no longer find a reason to make a move, not to mention Luo Bingbing's matter, the real culprit is not the Qian family, but the person who is being interrogated today, Chu He believes that Mrs. Guo will handle this matter properly.
