Chapter 14: The Challenge of the Sacrificial Rites
Thinking of the steward Lu Tong repeatedly hitting himself, Mo Fei gritted his teeth and stared at the steward Lu Tong, and secretly swore in his heart: "I have written down this hatred, Lu Tong, you wait!"
The most important thing now is not to find the steward Lu to report revenge, Mo Fei put Lu Tong's matter aside for the time being, and then, looking directly at the great elder above: "Since the eldest grandfather mentioned that everything is related to me, as one of the main parties, why can't I speak?"
Without waiting for the Great Elder and a group of clan elders to nod, Mo Fei immediately asked: "Grandpa opened his mouth and said that cannibalism is a felony, but then Fei'er wants to ask clearly." Three years ago, when Hua Zhengxuan took the evil slave to oppress and beat the sixth aunt of the laundry in the East Courtyard, causing the sixth aunt to be seriously injured and died, where were the people from the Law Enforcement Hall?"
"Two years ago, when Hua Zhengxuan took the evil slave to rob Xiaocui, the apprentice of the Medicine Garden, and humiliated people to death, where were the people from the Law Enforcement Hall?"
"And a year ago, when Hua Zhengxuan swept through the West Garden with evil slaves, causing one death and seven injuries in the refining workshop, and a large amount of refined iron being swept away, where were the people in the Law Enforcement Hall?"
"These are just the facts that I have already established, and there are many more to investigate. Anyway, Hua Zhengxuan has been arrogant for a day or two, and if he really wants to investigate, I don't believe that the Law Enforcement Hall will not be able to find out the results. ”
The steward Lu Tong's face was gloomy, and his trembling right hand wanted to be stretched out several times, but he was afraid to take it back.
Mo Fei looked around and found that many people's faces gradually changed, and it was obvious that his words had touched everyone's hearts.
"Let's not talk about it from afar, if you law enforcement hall has the heart to cover up, I believe there will always be a way to cover up the past. Let's just say that a few days ago, Hua Zhengxuan secretly secretly replaced my medicinal materials, and Elder Qian of the treasury can testify about this matter. ”
Little Nail told Elder Qian about this, and was openly retaliated against by Hua Zhengxuan afterwards. Hua Zhengxuan even took the evil slave directly to my small courtyard, and threatened to kill the little nail in front of me. I was forced to be helpless, so I also restrained Hua Zhengxuan. ”
"When Hua Zhengxuan hit my courtyard, no one in the Law Enforcement Hall appeared. When the little nail was injured and was about to die, no one showed up in the Law Enforcement Hall. But as soon as I restrained Hua Zhengxuan, the steward Lu Tong suddenly appeared, and asked me to release him indiscriminately, but I refused to let him go, he disregarded Hua Zhengxuan's safety and directly did it to me. ”
Saying that, Mo Fei turned his eyes and looked directly at the steward Lu Tong: "What I said, but it is all true? At that time, except for you and the eldest grandfather, there were many people in the small courtyard, if you don't admit it, I don't mind arresting everyone and interrogating them one by one on the spot." ”
The steward Lu Tong was covered in cold sweat and couldn't say a word.
Mo Fei pursed his lips and sneered, and looked up at the Great Elder and more than a dozen clan elders: "Hua Zhengxuan is arrogant and domineering, and he has done all the bad things, I haven't taught him once or twice, but not only has he not repented at all, but he actually dares to bully me." ”
"As the son of the head of the Mo family, should I be bullied? A small punishment abolished Hua Zhengxuan's dantian, so that he can no longer bully the weak in the future, and when it comes to your mouth, it has become a felony for me to commit cannibalism?"
Mo Fei took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms: "As for my father's dantian in order to save me, he privately used the 100,000 silver coins in the clan, and I will make up for it here." ”
The clan elders looked at each other with staggered eyes, and one after another looked at the Great Elder with suspicion.
Although the Great Elder Mo Zhai had a preconceived idea and took the lead, even the head of the family, Mo Sheng, was overwhelmed and fell all the way to the disadvantage. But Mo Fei's strong argument still made many sober-minded clan elders have some doubts in their hearts.
Seeing that Mo Fei was so young, in front of so many elders and clan elders, he was like a river, and almost forcibly pulled back the disadvantage in a few words, Mo Gan and Mo Kun and other great elders of the clansmen became nervous, only the great elder Mo Zhai's expression was still the same.
The Great Elder chuckled: "Fei'er is worthy of being the first day of my Mo family, but no matter how clever you are, you can't change the fact that when the second brother Mo Yuan was kidnapped that day, the head of the family, Mo Sheng, did nothing. And no matter how many mistakes Zhengxuan committed, he should also be handed over to the Law Enforcement Hall, and the elders of the clan should explain it clearly to the head of the Hua family, and then he can be convicted and punished. ”
Glancing at the 100,000 silver bills handed over, the Great Elder shook his head: "As for these, Fei'er, 100,000 silver coins, do you think you are a child playing at home? Take a bunch of fake bills and find someone to print the mark of the Wuyue Chamber of Commerce, just want to fool around?"
Mo Fei's face froze, he was stunned for a while, then he took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and said no more, only a bitter sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
It wasn't until this moment that he suddenly understood why his father didn't argue from the beginning.
The Great Elder was clearly coming for their father and son, and he was well prepared.
Grandpa is not there, there is a difference in the generation of their father and son, no matter what they say, in the hearts of the clan elders, the weight may not be comparable to that of the great elder.
Knowing that no matter how you argue, the result will be the same, so what are you arguing about?
Mo Fei no longer argued, outsiders thought that Mo Fei and his son were at fault, but the Mo Qian Mokun brothers and others in the line of the Great Elder secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then their eyes flashed with excitement.
Although Mo Fei's trouble has added a lot of twists and turns, he is only a twelve-year-old child after all, and it is far more convincing than the Great Elder himself to speak.
After preparing for so many days, seeing that Mo Sheng's vein was about to lose, as long as they worked hard, the position of the head of the family was in their pocket.
The clan elders whispered for a while, and finally Su Lao coughed lightly, and looked at the head of the family Mo Sheng thoughtfully: "Punishment is unfair, misappropriation of family assets without permission, and unfilial piety, do you have anything to say about these three major crimes?"
The head of the family, Mo Sheng, was expressionless, and replied very calmly: "I admit the crime of embezzling the family assets without permission!" But the other two, uncle, no matter how clever your tongue is, I only have two words, I don't admit it!"
Great Elder Mo Zhai smiled faintly, not bothered at all by Mo Sheng's denial of death.
Seeing the faint smile on the Great Elder's face from a distance, Mo Fei's heart suddenly lifted.
"No, my father didn't admit his guilt, why didn't the grandfather rush at all, it seems that he had expected it a long time ago, do they still have a backhand?"
"No, you can't be so passive. ”
"Since it is useless to defend passively, then take the initiative to attack, you must not be led by the nose by the grandfather, you must disrupt their steps!"
Mo Fei clenched his fists, suddenly raised his head, his eyes stared at the elder Mo Zhai, and he shouted in a deep voice: "One person does things and one person does it! ”
"My father called a huge amount of money to ask Master Xue Jiao to treat the dantian, also for me. ”
"I can't get used to Hua Zhengxuan's arrogant and domineering, bullying and concealing behavior, and the person who abolishes his dantian with heavy hands, it's still me!"
"My father worked hard for the family, and it was obvious to all, how can you be allowed to slander him?"
Mo Fei took a deep breath, clenched his fists and roared: "Mo Zhai, come at me if you have a kind!"
"Don't you want to avenge Hua Zhengxuan? Don't you want to take advantage of the old man's arrest to take away his father's position as the head of the family?"
"I don't need to make those high-sounding excuses, I'm here to officially challenge you. In the entire Xishui Town, no matter who you look for, as long as you can win me by a move and a half, I will be at your disposal!"
Mo Fei stretched out his finger and pointed directly at the Great Elder Mo Zhai: "Mo Zhai, since you want to take the position of my father's head of the family, then show some courage, don't let the junior I look down on you." I'm a twelve-year-old boy's challenge, do you take it or not?"
Up and down the ancestral hall, more than a hundred people, no matter which vein, at this moment, their eyes turned to the Great Elder Mo Zhai.
In today's posture, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Great Elder's sharp vein is directed at Mo Sheng's father and son, and all he wants is the position of the head of the Mo family.
The head of the family, Mo Sheng, was silent, although Mo Fei was still young, he was the only son of the head of the family, Mo Sheng, and he was definitely qualified to make decisions for the head of the family.
While everyone was waiting for the Great Elder Mo Zhai's response, they looked at Mo Fei's gaze with a faint sense of admiration and regret.
After all, he is only a twelve-year-old boy, and even though he is extremely talented, he is still young and impulsive after all.
The Great Elder Mo Zhai was pressing forward step by step, and even the head of the family, Mo Sheng, was overwhelmed, Mo Fei, a twelve-year-old boy dared to take the initiative to challenge, no matter what the result was, with this extraordinary courage and boldness, it was enough to make people's hearts shake and admire.
In addition to admiration, no one would think that Mo Fei could really provoke the invincible opponent of the entire Xishui Town.
