Chapter 66: The Clan Assembly (2)
Zhao Jing hesitated for too long, and there began to be some small commotion in the clan: "What's wrong?" We are all kind, and he treats them as donkey livers and lungs. I can't wait to expel him from the clan as soon as possible, but as soon as he leaves, he will never apologize to us again, how can we swallow this breath?! β
At first, other clansmen echoed him: "That's a good thing, no matter what, he should also make amends to everyone." β
"Yes, yes, in addition to his husband and wife, as well as his father-in-law's family, his parents and brothers are all bitter masters, we can't blame them, let this culprit make amends to everyone, isn't it a matter of course?"
Hearing these words, the eldest son of the eighth room suddenly stopped struggling, with a malicious sneer on his face, staring at Zhao Jing gloomily.
The eighth old lady didn't know if he had heard his shouting, and greeted Zhao Jing with a calm expression: "It's up to everyone." β
Zhao Jing became more and more embarrassed, and at this time, his father, Master Yu, also spoke.
Master Yu always stays at home to enjoy Qingfu now, and he doesn't care much about the rumors in the clan, let alone the follow-up of the Bafang incident, so he doesn't know what his son is struggling with. Seeing that his son was slow to move, he felt impatient: "What are you doing stupidly?" Quickly ask someone to remove what is in his mouth. Everyone is waiting for him to apologize! Without waiting for his son to speak, he called his grandson Zhao Yuan and asked him to take off the cloth from the mouth of the eldest son of Bafangyan.
Even if the clan affairs are now in the hands of his son, he Zhao Yu is still the head of the clan, and the children and grandchildren are not only at his disposal? Also What does the eighth old lady mean? No matter how big the generation is, you shouldn't go over the clan to speak first! Is this still a reader? I don't understand any etiquette. Just rely on the old and sell the old!
Zhao Yuan knew a little bit about the rumors, and knew what his father was worried about, but his grandfather ordered it. He couldn't disobey, so he had to look at his father Zhao Jing, Zhao Jing had no choice, nodded helplessly, and Zhao Yuan stepped forward to remove the cloth. Seeing this, Master Yu was very displeased, and felt that even his grandson didn't take him seriously now......
As soon as the mouth of the eldest son of the eighth room was freed. began to shout: "What is the reward? I'm not convinced! I was just confused for a while, I made a small mistake, and my son didn't die. My brother grabbed the family business, and no one in the clan was short of silver taels, why would anyone want to expel me from the clan?! There was a scandal of killing his mother and brother in the second room, and Uncle Zongfang was also an accomplice. None of them have been excommunicated. Why should I be punished so severely for this little mistake? The sect is not clean in the first place, does it have the face to dispose of me?! β
The old man of the eighth room was supported by the second son and the youngest son, and sat on the head of the eighth room with a haggard face...... Son! β
Master Yu was still complaining about his children, grandchildren and the eighth old lady in his heart, but he was already dumbfounded when he heard it. It was only at this moment that he realized that his son was so hesitant and unwilling to take off the cloth from the man's mouth. It turned out that he didn't want the other party to say this. It's a pity that he didn't understand the hard work of his children and grandchildren, and now it's too late to say anything. Five years ago. Xiao Erfang didn't mention it anymore, everyone had almost forgotten about it, this bastard thing shouted out like this, so what kind of face did he have?
The gaze of the people of the clan made Master Yu uneasy, and he began to faint when he was uneasy, and actually retorted: "What are you talking nonsense about?!" In the matter of the second room back then, I was also deceived by Zhao Jiong, how did I become an accomplice? You don't have to spew blood here! What is being discussed today is that you are not filial and unfilial, and you are working with outsiders to deceive the clansmen of money, what are you doing with other irrelevant things?! β
The eldest son of the eighth room sneered: "Uncle Yu shirked cleanly, is he really a fool?" How many people don't know about the good things you did back then? How can it be irrelevant? You yourself are not clean, and you have made more strict mistakes than me, why are you sitting in the position of the sect leader? It should be a good talent! Your son has a sinner father like you, and he is no longer qualified to be a sect son, so don't put up a fight there and scold me! β
After that, he turned to the eighth old lady, changed his face, and said flatteringly: "Eighth grandfather, your old man has always been the most just, you have a deep enmity with the sect and the sea of blood, you can't let them continue to show off their might!" β
The eighth old lady glanced at him lightly: "No matter who is sitting in the position of the sect leader, your charges are also real, and the public opinion of the clan has already decided to expel you, so why bother to sow discord here and harm others and yourself?" β
The eldest son of Bafang Yan was stunned for a moment, and then the expression on his face became angry, and he simply turned to Zhao Xiu: "Eighth Grandpa is old and confused. Good sister, you are younger, and you must know things better than them. You are the bitter master, come and tell me, is my word right? Uncle Yu helped Zhao Jiong hurt your father, shouldn't he be expelled from the clan? β
Zhao Xiu looked at him, and then turned to the eighth old lady: "Eighth Uncle Ancestor, it's not a matter for him to continue." Back then, the niece's daughter was indeed a bitter master, can you let the grandnephew say something? β
The eighth old lady was a little bored: "What do you want to say?" Could it be true that Zhao Yu and Zhao Jiong were expelled from the clan? They each have children and grandchildren, Zhao Jiong is dead again, and he really wants to chase him, but he will make a mess. Your grandmother has never said such a thing, you are a child, don't make a fuss at this time. β
Zhao Xiu smiled slightly: "Don't worry, your old man, your niece and granddaughter are not so stupid." She looked at the people of the clan in the hall: "There is only one thing to discuss today, and the side is irrelevant, so all the uncles and brothers just need to decide whether to expel the elder brother of the eighth room from the clan." Other matters can be discussed at a later date. β
Everyone didn't want to pull out the things in the second room back then, Zhao Xiu spoke as a bitter master, and of course they had no objections.
Seeing this, the eldest son of the eighth room was not convinced, and continued to shout: "You are just acting according to the eyes of the sect room!" They all bully the soft and fear the hard, Uncle Yu made a mistake, you don't dare to say that he is not, but he trampled me to death! β
Zhao Xiu asked him: "I want to expel you from the clan, it was your father's TiyΓ¬, why do you hate the father and son of the eldest brother Fang Jing of Shangzong?" β
"Why don't I hate? Originally, it was just a trivial matter, but he pretended to be a good person in front of him, and sent me money to pay off my debts, but when he turned around, he brought someone to get me. He didn't want to borrow money. Don't slap a swollen face and become fat, I cheated him out of his money, it's really wrong. It's a big deal to return the money to him, why did he harm me, tired me to suffer a lawsuit, and be expelled from the clan? My father was just angry for a while, but after he lost his anger, he still recognized me as a son, but the sect had to make a big fuss. What kind of clan conference is held, it is clearly intended to force me to have no way out! β
Zhao Jing was so angry that his face turned red: "Nonsense, nonsense!" I would have liked to help you. How can you be so bloody?! β
The eighth old man cried: "Big nephew, I can't stand you!" Don't take it to heart what this son said, my old man understands it very well. You are a good person......" The second son next to him also looked guilty. Originally, he found out that something was wrong with his brother and asked Zhao Jing for help, so Zhao Jing would take someone to block people, but he didn't expect Zhao Jing to be splashed with sewage.
Seeing this, Zhao Xiu directly said to the eldest son of Bafang: "It seems that you only hate Zongfang in your heart, and you don't think you deserve it." In this case, it is better to vote for a referendum of the whole clan. There is only one vote in the sect, and it can't cover the sky with one hand. You also have a vote from your own family, it depends on whether you can really get their forgiveness. The other clansmen really don't blame you. β
Seeing that the other party was about to shout again, she called Zhao Yuan: "Brother Yuan, plug his mouth again, he won't apologize." Zhao Yuan hurriedly did so, and the eldest son of the eighth room was gagged again, his eyes widened, but he could only make a "woo" sound, and he couldn't say anything more. The people of the clan suddenly felt that their ears were much quieter, and Master Yu was secretly relieved.
The eighth old lady was noncommittal about this, but asked Zhao Xiu: "How to vote for the referendum?" Is there one ticket per room? β
Zhao Xiu thought for a while: "It's better to have one ticket per household." In the future, if the clan wants to referendum on something, they can also use this method, if it is one room and one vote, maybe the branches of each house will also have different opinions. β
The eighth old lady frowned again: "But in this way, if the matter of public discussion in the future is related to a certain house, and this room has a prosperous family and a large population of the side branches, wouldn't it take a big advantage?" If you are worried that the branches under the same room have different opinions, at most, let each branch vote once before voting. β
It is really worthy of being the eighth old lady with the best knowledge in the clan at present, and immediately thought of this solution by drawing inferences. Zhao Xiu hurriedly smiled and said: "Uncle and grandfather are thoughtful, but if you encounter someone like our second room, which is divided into two small rooms, but has the opposite opinion, who should you listen to?" β
The eighth old lady was reminded that there is no shortage of small households under the head of the house in the clan with an even number, and there are also contradictions between each family, and it is really difficult to unify opinions, so I have to say: "Then it is still one household and one vote." It's not entirely fair, but it's not bad. β
He thought to himself: Although the inner three rooms are thin, the outer nine rooms are luxuriant, and there are many families, if you vote in a household unit, the inner room is not advantageous, once the people in the outer room unite to force the palace, you may suffer, but the outer nine rooms have a large population, different origins, and different thoughts, so it is not so easy to twist into a rope. After today, he asked Zhao Jing to negotiate a charter, stipulating that as long as there are two votes against the inner three rooms, the referendum cannot be passed, so even if the outer nine rooms want to rebel, there is no way to do the inner three rooms.
He thought to himself, and Zhao Xiu added a sentence here: "If there is something in any family that wants to be submitted to the clan for a referendum, as long as it can mobilize the three clansmen to support his family, the clan can hold a meeting to discuss what his family has requested." β
That's fine, the eighth old lady nodded and accepted this Jianyi, he thought about the matter of building a family, and wanted to find Zhao Yu in the future, and it was a lot less trouble to use this method.
The matter seems to have been decided like this, the eighth old lady has spoken, and the other clansmen didn't expect such an important matter, just listening to Zhao Xiu's little girl's opinion and deciding it, how unreasonable it is. They expressed their views on today's issues, and most of them were in favor of expelling each other.
Although the eldest son of the eighth room was gagged, he did not forget to glare at everyone viciously, who said that he wanted to expel him, he glared at that person and roared, and the clansmen were a little stunned of him, and some people began to worry: "If you vote today and say that you want to expel him from the clan, what will he do if he retaliates against us in the future?" Some people think further: "If everything is voted on by the whole clan in the future, maybe it will offend a family member, and the two families will have a feud from then on, so how can it be good?" β
Everyone looked at Zhao Xiu in unison, wondering if she would come up with a solution in her little head? (To be continued......)
