Chapter Twenty-Seven: Envy and Might
"I didn't keep quiet, to avoid suspicion and to maintain the unity of the family, but I, Haoyue, am not easy to bully. Haoyue's deep eyes were filled with anger, and he scanned everyone like a falcon.
Seeing this, the three elders were also flustered, and hurriedly explained: "Big brother, I'm not ......."
"That's enough, no more talking. In the past few years, apart from the sixth sister and the fifth elder, who really regards me as the head of the family? How many people are secretly doing some things to the detriment of the family's interests, I really don't know?" Hao Yue snorted coldly, and the atmosphere became even more depressing.
Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Hao Yue exhaled, withdrew his martial spirit, calmed down his mood, and continued: "Why don't I expose it? It's not to maintain family unity! As long as it's not too much, I'll endure it." Since you're like that, I'm going to have to talk about it. Not only for Xing'er, but also for the development of the family!"
Hao Yue walked up to the Fifth Elder, held the hands of the Fifth Elder with both hands, and said gratefully: "Fifth Uncle, you and Grandpa Xiao's life-saving grace, Yue'er will never forget! Xing'er's matter, I, as a father, have an unshirkable responsibility!"
The Fifth Elder smiled with satisfaction: "Okay, okay! Since that's the case, I'm relieved." ”
"Big brother, are you going to favor your son and ignore the interests of the family?" the Seventh Elder asked rhetorically, not caring about the identity of the head of the Haoyue family.
"Hehe, I don't care about the interests of the family?" Haoyue was about to laugh angrily, his fingers crackled, and he said coldly: "Shadow One." ”
Hearing this, everyone was curious: Shadow One, what does it mean?
Immediately after, a black shadow appeared from Hao Yue's side. The black shadow was completely black, wearing a strange mask, unable to see clearly, with a cold aura around him.
"Big brother, who is he?" Sixth Elder Hao Yun couldn't help but ask.
"I am the head of the family's bodyguard, and I am also responsible for collecting information about the family. Haoyue nodded, and Ying Yicai said coldly.
"Presumptuous! How dare a guard be so arrogant? Whose power are you fighting against?" As soon as the three elders said this, everyone felt very stupid. They all said that they were the head of the house and the guards, and they still asked like this?
The second elder tugged at the third elder's clothes, hoping to remind him.
However, the three elders didn't realize this in a hurry, and they were only shocked by what Ying Yi said about collecting information, is what Haoyue said true Then what I have been secretly operating in the past few years......
"Hmph, the Third Elder seems to be a little nervous, so let's not talk about the Seventh Elder first. Ying Yi, the three elders must have made a lot of 'contributions' to the family over the years, right?" Hao Yue looked at the three elders with deep meaning.
"Over the years, in addition to normal family affairs, the three elders have also instructed the deacon in charge of procurement in violation of regulations to falsely report the family resources purchased. In the past three years, a total of 56,000 gold coins have been received from the Wangjialing Thatched Cottage. Other than that......"
"Shut up! Hugh is going to pretend to be a ghost here, my third child is known to everyone. Although there are conflicts with individual elders on weekdays, causing disputes. But when it comes to the righteousness of the family, I, the third elder, are absolutely not ambiguous! Don't want to talk nonsense here!" Before Ying finished speaking, the third elder argued loudly, but now it aroused everyone's suspicion.
Not to mention anything else, the trembling voice, the cold sweat on the forehead, and the erratic eyes are really unconvincing.
"Third brother, is this a weak heart?" the sixth elder sneered on the side, his eyes full of mockery.
"Haoyun you!"
"Quiet!" Keichi continued. Haoyue said lightly, but this calm look made everyone a little scared, this was the calm of the moment before the storm. Now that Haoyue has exposed all this, it will definitely not be good!
"Yes, in the past three years, the Seventh Elder has leaked the family's information to the White Pigeon Mercenary Group several times, causing the Hao family to enter the Qianyuan Mountain Range three times without success. As a gratuity, 13,000 gold coins were paid to the White Pigeon Mercenary Group. ”
The Seventh Elder didn't interrupt Ying Yi's words, and when he finished speaking, he asked, "Do you have any evidence?"
Seeing that the shadow nodded, the Seventh Elder stopped speaking and sat calmly in his chair.
Seeing this, the fifth elder also snorted coldly: "What, admit it?"
As soon as the words fell, the Seventh Elder nodded, and then raised his head, there were a few tears in the corners of his eyes.
"Why?" Hao Yue stared at the face of the Seventh Elder and said slowly.
"Because...... Big brother, don't ask again!, I'm the seventh, I'm ashamed!" the seventh elder said with red eyes and choked up.
"Is it because of Hao Fan?" Hao Yue seemed to have guessed something, and asked the Seventh Elder.
The Seven Elders were startled, and were about to speak but did not speak, only sighed and nodded again.
Haoyue closed his eyes for a moment, then opened them and said, "Old Seven, you are confused! Haofan's matter is not what you think. He left not because of the family hunting, but because he wanted to go out to experience and find a broader cultivation environment! I was afraid that you would not agree, so I quietly left, and sent a message to me not long ago. ”
Hao Yue took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to the Seventh Elder.
The Seventh Elder took the letter, read it for a moment, and sat down in his chair. After a while, he slapped himself in the face, but before he fell, he was held up by a spiritual force.
Looking at its spiritual power, it is the shadow one, presumably because of the instructions of the head of the family.
"Old Seven, why do you bother? Your original intention was kind, and you were afraid that this kind of thing would happen to other children again. Only then did a stupid thing, cheapened the white pigeon mercenary group, and delayed the family's several trainings. The gains outweigh the losses, Old Seven!" Hao Yue said earnestly.
Hearing this, the Seventh Elder nodded and stopped talking.
Eichi said again: "Second Elder......"
Hearing that he was mentioned, the second elder immediately got up and said, "Big brother, I don't think I can hand over Xing'er, I'm a son of the Hao family, how can I allow others to be left and right at will! In the past three years, it is inevitable that there will be some bias in some things. Here, I apologize to everyone and punish myself for half a year, and ask the head of the family to agree!"
Seeing this, Haoyue was a little surprised, and he didn't dwell on this matter anymore, and said, "Yun!"
Then he looked at the six elders, who nodded knowingly.
"Xie Family Master!" the smile on the second elder's face flashed and said solemnly. I was secretly happy in my heart, but I didn't expect Haoyue to not pursue this matter.
"Big brother, since you have said everything about us, you can also talk about the second child, let us also understand. The third elder was not convinced, and the second elder dodged so easily, feeling a little unwilling in his heart.
The second elder's whole body tightened, and he looked at Haoyue, seeing that he had no intention of continuing to investigate, so he was relieved.
"Alright, that's all for today. The third child, give the gold coins embezzled over the years to the six elders, and fine you for one year. As for the position of elder, it will be retained for the time being to see the after-effects. Do you have meaning?" Haoyue said sharply without being angry.
The third elder was stunned for a moment, and said, "Obey the order of the head of the family!" Although he was not convinced, Haoyue did not remove him from the position of elder, nor did he pursue it too much. But he was only fined for one year, which is already extraordinarily gracious.
Hao Yue said again: "What the Seventh Elder did, although it delayed the family's training, it was not malicious. Secondly, the main purpose of the experience is to improve the strength of the children of the Hao family. During the period of delay in training, the Seven Elders, as the main person in charge of the cultivation of the martial arts arena, did their best and were conscientious and responsible. Therefore, a serious warning once, not an example!"
The Seventh Elder clasped his fists and said, "Master Xie!" In his heart, he was grateful, and he would be the first to look forward to Haoyue in the future!
Hao Yue nodded, and said to the inconspicuous young man at the end: "Hao Rui, from today on, you are the fourth elder of the Hao family, in charge of punishment!"
Hao Rui got up and knelt on one knee: "Yes, the head of the family!
Hao Yue used his spiritual power to hold up Hao Rui and said, "Now that you are an elder, you can just hold your fists with your orders, and you don't need to kneel on the ground." Now, the first task you take over is to keep all the people on this list in order. Haojia, it's time to put things in order. ”
After that, the prestige of the head of the Haoyue family is undoubtedly displayed. Everyone's hearts are shocked, the Hao family, the sky is about to change!
From today onwards, Haoyue, the head of the family, deserves his name!
The fifth elder stroked his beard and nodded with satisfaction: Yue'er has grown up, you can rest assured, old master!
At this time, the sixth elder suddenly frowned, and said with some worry: "Big brother, Xing'er, what are you going to do?"
"Xing'er ......" To be honest, Haoyue didn't know what to do. After all, with the current strength of the Hao family, there is no chance of winning against the Lingyun Sword Sect! Since the Lingyun Sword Sect wants Xing'er's exercises, then, if Xing'er is asked to hand it over, will the Lingyun Sword Sect give up?
"Lingyun Sword Sect, I'll go for a trip. The flat voice exploded in everyone's heart like thunder.
