Looking at these five or six old men, Xiaochen was a little confused.

"Ahem~"

One of the old men coughed, looked at the Great Elder who was drinking tea with his back and said, "Great Elder, look ......?"

"Oh, tell me something, grind and chirp. An old man standing on the outermost side flicked his sleeves dissatisfied.

The choked old man's face was flushed, and he blew his beard and glared at him.

The old man didn't care about the dissatisfaction at all, and said, "The five elders and the two ancestors have all met with misfortune, and the Xiao family has no one in charge for the time being, so I hope the great elder will decide." ”

The Great Elder drank two cups of tea in succession, his eyes swept over everyone, looked at the faces of the period, smacked his lips and said slowly, "Really let me decide?"

"Nature, nature. ”

"Everything is up to the Great Elder. ”

Everyone laughed and spoke.

The Great Elder's gaze fell on Xiaochen, stroked his beard, drank a cup of tea, and said, "What do you think of this kid?"

Everyone was stunned, no one spoke, but no one showed satisfaction with the expressions on their faces.

The Great Elder who looked at Shen Mo asked with a smile, "What's the matter? Not satisfied? Didn't they all say that everything is up to me just now?"

"Do you agree or disagree if you don't speak?"

Looking at these people who dodged their eyes and didn't dare to look at the eyes of the Great Elder, Xiaochen was speechless, and if he didn't agree, he said directly, what can I do with you, as if I am rare about this errand, who do I love, the master doesn't care about it.

"Great Elder, you are too ...... Feel free to do so. ”

The first to speak was the third elder, who was also the old man who was choked.

When he opened his mouth, the rest of the people all followed the conversation and expressed their inappropriateness.

Listening to everyone's reasons, Xiaochen was happy, okay, what waste is just a flash in the pan once it becomes successful, what is not learned and has no experience, how to belittle it, how to belittle it, why is it so ugly.

"I said everyone, the waste you said is standing in front of you, can we respect others. ”

Xiaochen leaned on the door frame and said loudly.

When Xiaochen opened his mouth, the five or six old men stopped talking, but their eyes were very unfriendly.

"Xiaochen, a group of elders are here, that round got your nonsense. The third elder stared at Xiao Chen and said coldly.

This third elder is the support of the five elders, and since the five elders have been in charge of the Xiao family, many industries have been managed by him, which can be said to be a lot of money, and it is very comfortable.

The five elders were killed, the head of the Xiao family is undecided, there is a great possibility that his interests will be involved, he knows very well in his heart, if Xiaochen is in charge of the Xiao family, with their previous attitude towards Xiaochen, he will not have good fruit to eat.

Cutting off someone's money is like killing your parents, this is a big hatred!

How can he be safe?

The rest of the elders are in charge, and their attitude towards Xiaochen is not clear, and they also ignored Xiaochen before, and it is also said that who will pay attention to a waste.

Now Xiaochen has shown his strength, the name of waste has been removed, plus he is the eldest son of the Xiao family and the heir to the throne, except for little experience and no clustering, it is reasonable for Xiaochen to take charge of the Xiao family.

"That's not what you're saying!"

"Isn't that the truth?"

"Oh, why are you still standing here with such ability, old man. Xiaochen's face turned cold, staring at the three elders, and said in a strange way.

"Ah......h

The four elders interrupted everyone who was about to quarrel, and said coldly with a straight face: "Okay, no matter what our group of old men are talking about here, whether it is noisy or noisy, it is useless. ”

"The Xiao family is already like a candle in the wind, crumbling, it is inevitable to introduce a person to control the situation, but it also depends on whether the party is willing or not. ”

The Great Elder looked at Xiaochen with deep affection and asked, "Xiaochen, what do you think?"

Xiaochen's gaze swept over everyone and grinned, "I don't like to tell lies, I don't think it's good." ”

"The position of the head of the Xiao family loves whoever he is. We're really not uncommon. ”

"Not interested!"

As soon as Xiao Chen said this, everyone around him was furious.

The third elder glared angrily and scolded: "I said a long time ago, he just can't support the mud on the wall, look at it, where is this fake." ”

"Excessive!"

"It doesn't matter if you don't have the Dharma on weekdays, but today is a time when the Xiao family is in great trouble, what kind of crime should you be guilty of saying this!"

"Xiaochen, do you still have family law in your eyes! Is there any rule! Is there a Xiao family!"

With the three elders taking the lead, the other elders and stewards also expressed their dissatisfaction with Xiaochen.

After hearing what they said, Xiaochen swept over the people who were looking at him with angry eyes expressionlessly, and laughed out.

Everyone thought that Xiaochen would say something, but who expected him to be like this, looking at Xiaochen who couldn't straighten up with laughter, he was confused.

After a while, Xiaochen slowly straightened up, his already pale face became even more gloomy, and his eyes were staring at the three elders with a thick anger, "I'm mud, I don't have a tutor!"

"What is family law! You still have the face to talk about family law, rules!"

"A bunch of sanctimonious garbage, I'm not targeting anyone, I'm talking about you. ”

"Bastard thing!"

The three elders were furious, and the aura of their bodies slammed towards Xiao Chen.

Xiaochen's hair was blown up by the wind, but it didn't hurt it in the slightest.

The Great Elder slowly put down the teacup and looked at the Third Elder and said, "It's also a person who has been half-cut into the ground, why can't you suppress your temper." ”

The three elders put down their hands wistfully, snorted coldly, stared at Xiaochen with gloomy eyes, and their cheeks were one by one, and the anger in their hearts was irrepressible.

"Tut-tut, such a Xiao family, such a rule?"

"Great Elder, I respect you, but I don't dare to agree with the rest of the Xiao family. Before today, I don't want to say what treatment and position I have in the Xiao family. Such a Xiao family, you say, I'll be in charge?"

"I'm about to be kicked out of the house, such a Xiao family...... Don't wait!"

Looking at the Great Elder with an unkind face, the Third Elder was about to stop talking, and his eyes wandered.

Xiaochen's voice fell for a long time and no one answered, in fact, Xiaochen told no lie, since the patriarch went out, Xiaochen and his mother Lin Suxian's status in the Xiao family has plummeted, if it weren't for the uncertainty of the patriarch's life and death, it was only a matter of time before they were driven out of the Xiao family.

"Great Elder, what the elders said is right, the country cannot be without a king for a day, the family cannot be without an owner for a day, my father has not returned yet, and it is most suitable for you to be in charge of the Xiao family. Slowly exhaling a breath, Xiaochen said respectfully.

After that, he turned around and left.

Looking at the departing figure, the Great Elder sighed lightly, nodded and said nothing.

His gaze swept over everyone, "From today on, Xiaochen will temporarily act as the head of the Xiao family, and I will assist him until the patriarch returns home." ”

None of you here are fools, before the patriarch returns, everything in the Xiao family is in the hands of the great elder, and Xiaochen, from today on, will rise completely in the Xiao family, and no one can stop it!

......

Taoyuan City is just a small city in the southwest corner, although it is small, it is also prosperous.

As long as there are interests, there are forces entrenched, in addition to the Taoyuan City City Lord's Mansion, there are three "behemoths", Xiao, Wang, and Li.

The three families hinder each other, do not deal with each other, small frictions are constant, there are no major conflicts, interests, it all depends on the ability of each family, the three families are basically safe, Taoyuan City is safe under the rule, and the city lord's mansion is too lazy to take care of some of the dirtiness of the three families.

However, the incident three days ago made the originally stable atmosphere of Taoyuan City more subtle.

Anyone with a lively mind knows that a storm is coming.

The three-legged situation of Taoyuan City may turn into a two-dragon competition.

Leaving this small courtyard, he was somewhat irritated by the noisy noise of the group of old men just now, and then walked towards the back mountain.

Whoa—

The sound of running water?

Xiaochen heard the sound and left, through the winding path, the white mist rose, this is actually an open-air hot spring!

Xiaochen has been to Xiaojia for many years, but he has never been to the back mountain, so he naturally does not know that there is a hot spring here.

Looking at the steaming hot springs, Xiaochen rarely relaxed, and entered the hot springs.

Feeling the warm and comfortable spring water, Xiaochen sighed lightly, no wonder those guys in Tianyu like to soak in hot springs, it turns out to be so comfortable......
