Chapter 9: Family Meeting
Tianyuan City, Li Family, Council Hall.
The Li family's family meeting is underway.
Attending today's family meeting were Li Tiegun, the head of the Li family, the five elders of the Li family, and the second-generation children attending the meeting as observers.
There is only one item on the agenda of today's meeting, and that is to discuss how to deal with Li Dongcheng.
Li Dongcheng stood outside the council hall, waiting for the result of the family's treatment of him.
In the spacious meeting hall, Li Tiegun and Li Linfeng sat on the main seat, and the other four elders sat on either side.
The attendees stood behind each of the four elders.
With Li Tiegun and the elders seated, the meeting began, and today's meeting was presided over by the second elder Li Linhai.
Li Linhai coughed lightly and said: "Today we hold a family meeting, there is only one purpose, that is, to discuss how to deal with Li Dongcheng, everyone knows that Li Dongcheng stole a four-grade treasure pill from the Song family a few days ago, which almost caused a big war between the Song and Li families, although this matter has come to an end for the time being, but the nature of this matter is very bad, and it has seriously ruined the reputation of my Li family, and it is necessary to deal with Li Dongcheng to set an example!
"Li Dongcheng's theft of the Song family's treasure pill has a great impact on Tianyuan City, and it has even reached the ears of the Mu City Lord, and if Li Dongcheng is not severely punished, it will not be enough to restore my Li family's reputation!"
Li Linhai nodded and said, "Which other elder has something to say?"
"Although Li Dongcheng stole the treasure pill without authorization, he also resolved this dispute by himself, fortunately, it did not cause a big mistake, and my Li family also has an additional martial artist from the Diyuan Realm, I suggest that Li Dongcheng can be given a verbal admonition, and there is no need to punish him!"
"Hmph, Li Dongcheng stole Bao Dan privately, and after stealing it, he took it himself, and did not hand it over to the family, his behavior is very bad, I suggest that he be severely punished, the son is not the fault of the father, Li Dongcheng, as the son of the head of the family, made such a big mistake, that is, the head of the family also has the fault of lax discipline, and his own children are not well disciplined, how can he govern the entire Li family, I suggest that the head of the family should take the blame and abdicate!"
At this time, Li Tiegun and Li Linfeng, who were sitting on the main seat, were expressionless and did not say a word.
Looking at Li Tiegun and Li Linfeng's Gujing Wubo's faces, Li Linhai's heart suddenly suddenly, Li Linfeng was just that, his scheming was notoriously gloomy, and no one could understand what he was thinking. It's Li Tiegun, who seems to be a little different from usual today, a little too calm.
Today's meeting of elders was actually suggested by Li Linhai to Li Linfeng. The Li family is different from the Wang family, the four elders of the Wang family are like paper paste, while the elders of the Li family have much more power, and the head of the family has to submit to these five elders in some cases. Because they, the elders, control the family council.
Among the five elders, Great Elder Li Linfeng has the highest cultivation and the most scheming, but his opinion is also the most important.
The second is the second elder Li Linhai, Li Linhai is keen on power, and colluded with the fourth elder Li Changdong and the fifth elder Li Changhe, and almost controlled the entire family meeting.
Although Li Tiegun is the head of the family, because he is young, upright, and does not know how to form a gang, he is often subject to Li Linhai and the three in family meetings.
The third elder, Li Changqing, is more upright, jealous and hateful, and sometimes helps Li Tiegun say a few words, but he does not obey Li Tiegun in everything.
Before today's meeting, Li Linhai had discussed with Li Changdong and Li Changhe, intending to determine Li Dongcheng's crime and suppress Li Tiegun, of course, it would be best to get rid of Li Tiegun's position as the head of the family.
Li Linhai glanced at Li Tiegun and Li Linfeng again, and saw that the two of them didn't mean to speak at all, so he said, "Okay, I'll also talk about my opinion!" Li Dongcheng stole the Song family's Baodan without authorization, almost causing a full-scale war between the two families, if the two families went to war, it could only be a lose-lose situation, when the time came, the Wang family would be the only one, slowly encroaching on the two, the consequences would be unimaginable, the Li family's good foundation, almost destroyed in the hands of Li Dongcheng, but everyone has thought about it, with Li Dongcheng alone, how can he successfully sneak into the Song family and successfully steal the Baodan, Mo said that Li Dongcheng was just a mortal with blocked meridians at that time, and now Li Dongcheng alone cannot go to the Song family to steal the Baodan, so I think that Li Dongcheng's behavior of stealing the Baodan is not his own behavior, but is instructed by others, well-planned behavior, as for who is planning, it can only be our head of the family, Li Dongcheng's father Li Tiegun, although we can all understand the heart of the head of the family who loves his son, but this kind of behavior is too selfish, it is simply gambling with the entire Li family, and the selfishness is too heavy, so I think that not only Li Dongcheng will be punished, but our family head will also be punished, I think Li Tiegun is no longer suitable to be the head of my Li family, I suggest that Li Tiegun's family be exempted from the position where Li Tiegun's family lives!"
"I agree!" "I agree too!" As soon as Li Linhai's voice fell, Li Changhe and Li Changdong couldn't wait to shout.
"You guys, what are you doing here!" Li Changqing pointed at Li Linhai and the three of them and said angrily.
Li Linhai didn't answer, but looked at Li Tiegun with a sneer, and said in his heart At this moment, everyone is watching, I will see how you justify!
Li Tiegun looked at Li Linhai's emotional performance, secretly sneered in his heart, stood up, and arched his hand towards everyone and said: "Since becoming the head of the family, the iron gun has trembled, walking on thin ice, and does not dare to slack off, but I don't want to be hated by the villain, calculate my son, and ruin my reputation, Second Elder, I respect you as my elder on weekdays, and I don't offend you, why do you want to spew blood?"
Li Linhai laughed and said, "Li Tiegun, the facts are there, don't quibble, let me ask you, what's wrong with my inference just now?"
Li Tiegun looked at Li Linhai and said leisurely: "Your inference is simply unreasonable, if I say that the reason why my son went to the Song family was because of the calculation of the traitor, the traitor took advantage of my son's martial arts practice and designed for my son to go to the Song family to steal the Bao Dan, but robbed the Bao Dan in the middle, the reason why my son was able to enter the Di Yuan Realm is another chance, do you have to believe it?"
Li Linhai was shocked in his heart, his face changed, but then he calmed down and said: "Up to now, you still dare to quibble, you said that Li Dongcheng was framed by someone, then you said that he was framed by someone, what evidence is there, Li Dongcheng's advancement to the Earth Yuan Realm is another chance, what is the chance?"
Li Tiegun smiled slightly and said, "Okay, you really don't know who framed my son?" Li Linhai, ten years ago, I took over the position of the head of the family, you were not convinced, you have been secretly cultivating strength for the past ten years, looking for opportunities, trying to replace me, this time you colluded with outsiders, designed to lure my son into the Song family to steal Baodan, is to take the opportunity to destroy my reputation, make my family ruined, and then seize the position of the head of the family, yes and no, Li Linhai, your heart is simply black, for your own selfish interests, you have to entrust the entire family into a situation of no return, I want to tell you, your conspiracy has been exposed, and all your actions are clearly grasped by meοΌβ
"You, you ........" Looking at Li Tiegun's calm appearance, Li Linhai's heart sank suddenly, "How could he know these things so clearly, could it be that the Wang family betrayed me?"
At this time, the expression on Li Linhai's face changed, as if he didn't know how to answer.
Li Changdong and Li Changhe, you look at me, I look at you, it seems that I didn't expect that there is such a big inside story in this matter, when Li Linhai found the two of them, he just told them that all this was Li Tiegun's mastermind, and now it seems that what Li Tiegun said is true? If this is the case, wouldn't Li Linhai treat them as monkeys, although they usually contradict Li Tiegun, but it is a trivial matter within the family, if they let them do this kind of thing that harms the interests of the family, they really can't do it.
At this time, the eyes of the two of them looking at Li Linhai became unkind.
Li Linhai felt everyone's suspicious eyes at this time, and his heart was empty, anxious, and mixed with anger, and he couldn't breathe, and he rolled his eyes and fainted.
Seeing Li Linhai fainting on the ground, there was a panic in the field, and he hurriedly carried Li Linhai out.
Li Linfeng, who had been watching coldly, snorted coldly at this time and strode out of the hall.
Li Dongcheng, who had been standing outside the hall waiting for the results, looked at Li Linhai who was carried out of the hall by everyone, and a smile gradually bloomed on the corner of his mouth.
This family meeting ended with Li Tie fainting the second elder Li Linhai!
