"Hmph, what about the Xia family, this is the Qi family, even if the Xia family wants to fight our Qi family's idea, it is not so easy." A young disciple standing behind Qi Qiong yelled angrily with a flushed face.
"In this way, your Qi family didn't take our Xia family seriously? This is the approval of the Presbyterian Church, see for yourselves. Xia Feng looked at Qi Qiong playfully, and a trace of history flashed in his eyes.
The Council of Elders is a council led by the four major families of the National Art Realm, and the Council of Elders is composed of thirty-six councilors, except for the four major families who occupy at least 4 positions, and the other thirty-two positions are all fought for by all first-class families.
The Council of Elders is mainly used to maintain the stability of the national art world, if it is an ordinary vendetta, the Council of Elders basically can't control it, and it was established to prevent the Qi family from colluding with the red family like this, trapping ordinary people, and preventing the ninth place from having an excuse to attack the national art world.
"Little Brother Xia, our Qi family doesn't mean that." Seeing that the approval of the Council of Elders had come, Qi Qiong hurriedly shook his hand in fright, "Qi Feng is talking nonsense. Qi Qiong shouted behind him.
"Yes, Patriarch." Qi Feng was unwilling to retreat.
"Little Brother Xia, I think, even if the Xia family is a high-level family, it can't just make a big move with a little rumor, if that's the case, how fair is there in the national art world?" Qi Qiong said in a low voice.
"Hehe, it's a matter of urgency, and it's a last resort, we received news that the Qi family colluded with the Qi family in the capital, no, the ancestor sent a few of us to investigate, and we are really helpless." Xia Feng said with a smile, completely ignoring Qi Qiong's face that was about to turn into pig liver.
"Slander. **Naked slander, someone must have framed our Qi family. How could we risk the great disgrace of the national art world to collude with the Qi family in the capital. Qi Qiong took a deep breath, he understood that if this matter was confirmed, their Qi family would really be in trouble.
However, there are clear rules in the national art world that you are not allowed to contact the forces in the ordinary society, and if you are revealed, you will attack in groups.
"Master Qi, you don't need to mind so much. We were also ordered to do things, and we didn't know who was chewing on the roots of our ears in the back, so that our brothers didn't rest and rushed over. When he said this, Xia Feng subconsciously glanced at Lin Xiao beside him.
"Virtuous nephew, you have to be the master for us, our Qi family is really more wronged than Dou E. I don't know which person dares to say nonsense. Qi Qiong pretended to be pitiful.
"Don't worry, Qi family master, we're just here for a routine, so you see......" Xia Feng hesitated.
"No problem, just check, we are sitting in the right place. I'm not afraid of anyone checking it. Qi Qiong's face was full of righteousness.
"It's not a loss for the style of the family." Xia Feng gave Qi Qiong a thumbs up, but he was snickering in his heart, what he said now is good, wait for don't be scared to pee your pants.
"Brother Xia, please." Qi Qiong invited boldly.
"I'm tired." Xia Feng clenched his fists, before he tore his face. It's better to maintain a little demeanor.
Xia Feng and his party followed behind Qi Qiong and entered the Qi family.
"Brother Xia. I have already ordered you to go down, you just have to investigate, and no one will stop you. Qi Qiong said as she walked.
"yes, got it." Xia Feng's lack of interest and listlessness made Qi Qiong breathe a sigh of relief in her heart.
"Remember to put those things away, don't let these guys see them, or it's a disaster." Qi Qiong took advantage of a turn and secretly communicated with the disciples behind.
The exchange between them and the Qi family has an account book, which lists the transactions with several families in the capital over the years, and Qi Qiong usually puts the account book as an ordinary book in the shelf, which is inconspicuous, and now he is afraid that Xia Feng will really find out something, so he orders someone to hide the account book.
A smile appeared on the corner of Lin Xiao's mouth, and under his spiritual power, Qi Qiong's transmission just now was meticulously listened to in his ears.
Lin Xiao secretly sent the news he heard into Xia Feng's ears, Xia Feng glanced at Lin Xiao in surprise, and he didn't know how he got the news.
Of course Lin Xiao wouldn't say that this was said by Qi Qiong himself, no one else in the national art world had this ability except him, and if he wanted to intercept other people's transmissions, the requirements for spiritual power were very high.
"The head of the Qi family, I heard that the Qi family's collection of books is very rich, and I have never had much resistance to books, and the books at home are about to be turned over by me, and I don't know if the head of the Qi family can make it convenient." Xia Feng said to Qi Qiong with a smile.
"Ah...... This one...... No problem, Brother Xia is really rich and rich, and the collection of books of the huge Xia family is about to be read, what a genius. Qi Qiong broke out in a cold sweat from her back, and said calmly.
"Where, where, the head of the Qi family has won the prize." Xia Feng modestly clenched his fists, and the smug expression on his face was very bad.
"Brother Xia has spoken, so let's go to see how the study is going at the first stop." Qi Qiong smiled.
"Then it's still bothering the head of the Qi family to lead the way." Xia Feng smiled all over his face, as if he was really interested in books.
Qi Qiong took Xia Feng and eight people to the study, not to mention, the whole thing is like a library, all sides are bookshelves, each bookshelf is lined with a dazzling array of books, at a glance, it is very spectacular.
"Well, there are a lot of books that I haven't read." Xia Feng pretended to go up and took out two copies.
"Brother Xia laughed, it's all miscellaneous books." Qi Qiong said with a smile.
"Look, this is a good one, but I've been looking for a long time and haven't found the only one." Xia Feng teased the book in his hand, looking excited.
"The virtuous nephew is so elegant, my uncle really admires it." Qi Qiong greeted with a smile.
"Hey, it's a pity, it's a pity." Xia Feng's tone changed, and he became lamenting.
"Do you think there's anything wrong with the nephew?" Qi Qiong asked worriedly.
"It's a pity that time is limited, so I can't waste it on this, otherwise I ......" Xia Feng's melancholy appearance made Lin Xiao almost laugh, and secretly said in his heart that this kid has a future, and he is about to become an actor.
"What's so difficult about this, since the virtuous nephew likes it, then take it." Qi Qiong waved his hand generously.
"The head of the family, this is a lonely book, how can our Qi family get it with all the hard work to be so cheap to others." The children who followed behind the Qi family stepped forward to stop him.
"What about the lonely book, as long as the virtuous nephew likes it. What is a book. Before Xia Feng could speak, Qi Qiong interrupted unhappily. He just wants to defeat Xia Feng as soon as possible in his heart now, and it is of course a necessary magic weapon to do what he likes.
"That'...... The younger generation is disrespectful. Xia Feng happily accepted the book.
"Just take it."
Xia Feng happily put the book in his arms, and he didn't know if he really liked it or acting, which made Lin Xiao cry and laugh in the back.
"In that case, the head of the Qi family, the juniors will start searching." Xia Feng's expression changed and said solemnly.
"Please." Seeing Xia Feng accept his books, Qi Qiong breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. In his opinion, the rest is just a walk-through procedure.
"Search for me." Xia Feng roared imposingly.
Including Lin Xiao, everyone rushed into the study, pretending to search, long before, Lin Xiao had sent a message to them, just let them do things perfunctorily. Don't make a mistake.
"Senior Brother Xia, there is nothing abnormal." After some searching, a Xia family disciple came back to report.
"Well, I see, let's call it up." Summer Wind waved his hand.
"Master Qi, since there is nothing. Then we'll go first, and we'll have a date later. Xia Feng clenched his fist towards Qi Qiong.
"Be careful all the way."
With the departure of Xia Feng and his party, the Qi family regained their calm again.
"Senior, what's next?" After stepping out of the range of the Qi family, Xia Feng did not continue to pretend. Towards Lin Xiao hugged his fist.
"Don't worry, I'm in control. I already know where the ledger is. Lin Xiao smiled mysteriously.
"The reason why I asked you to be perfunctory is because I don't want to startle the snakes, and I will go alone at night and take down their account books." Lin Xiao smiled slightly, not taking the Qi family's guard strength into account at all.
"What are we going to do next, senior?" Summer Wind blinked.
"You guys? Go back to your own house and find your own mother. Lin Xiao thought about it for a while, and felt that the matter was basically clear, and the identity of the Xia family was not needed at all.
"Ah...... I thought I could fight an earth-shattering battle, but who knew that I would have to go back after a round of soy sauce. Xia Feng heard Lin Xiao's answer and said dejectedly.
"You kid, you're also a hard worker, so be my extra reward." Lin Xiao shook his head with a smile, took out five Zhu Guo, and gave them to Xia Feng and the five people.
"Thank you, senior." Xia Feng's five mouths were grinning, and they couldn't close their mouths when they smiled, and they came out to play around, not only showing their faces in front of the ancestor, but also getting a divine object like Zhu Guo.
"Go ahead, be careful on the road."
"Senior, you look down on us too much, although we can't compare with you, but we are also from the Xia family, if we only have the kung fu of a three-legged cat, wouldn't it be a shame." Xia Feng said proudly, not only patting Lin Xiao's ass a little, but also flaunting himself.
"Alright, stop bragging, get out of here." After staying with Xia Feng for a long time, he can reveal his hidden cheekiness.
"Take care, senior." Xia Feng put away his smile and said goodbye to Lin Xiao sincerely.
"Go ahead." Lin Xiao waved his hand.
Looking at the figure of the five people in the distance, Lin Xiao was silent for a long time.
"Da Niu, you and Wang Bo will find a place to rest, and I'll go get the account book first." Time flies, the sun is setting, and a bright moon rises in the sky, Lin Xiao said to Da Niu and Wang Bo beside him.
"Yes, young master, it's just...... Don't we really need to be needed? Da Niu hesitated.
"Haha, who am I your young master, there is a place in the world that I can't go, stay here with peace of mind, I will go back when I go." Lin Xiao laughed arrogantly, pride surged from his chest, since entering the innate peak, Lin Xiao can be said to be like a tiger with wings, and he is no longer afraid of anyone.
In the night sky, the stars blinked, the flowers, birds and trees gradually fell asleep, and a figure suddenly flashed in the quiet night.
Lin Xiao didn't take any other way, and walked directly from the main gate in the morning, just because his degree was too fast, even if he was perceived, he thought it was a gust of wind passing by, but he didn't expect that it was actually a person passing by.
No matter how complicated the terrain is, under Lin Xiao's spiritual power, it is like flat ground, and when he searched in the morning, Lin Xiao had already found the location of the ledger.
The original ledger was placed in the study as Qi Qiong said, and because of the arrival of Xia Feng, he hurriedly asked someone to transfer the location of the ledger.
Lin Xiao came to a well and touched the ground with both feet. Float lightly into the well.
That's right, the ledger was transferred by them to the bottom of this dry well. Ordinary people would not have thought of such a primitive way to place the ledger.
Most people's idea is to put it in a secret passage or secret room to ensure safety, and it is difficult to put it under such an abandoned dry well to ensure that it will not be bitten by rats.
"That's you." Lin Xiao squatted down, picked up the account book, patted the cover, and nodded with satisfaction.
He spent a lot of thought on this ledger. I was almost tired today, in order to monitor the movements of everyone in the Qi family, Lin Xiao worked hard today, and released his spiritual power without money, and the emperor lived up to his wishes, and finally showed this account book on a disciple of the Qi family who pretended to be a subordinate.
got the account book, and Lin Xiao soared directly into the sky. left the Qi family without taking a single cloud with him.
"Big bull Wang Bo, let's go."
"Young master, have you got the account book?" Da Niu and Wang Bo asked.
"Well, you see." Lin Xiao smiled and nodded, the haze of the past few days has disappeared without a trace.
"Hey, this is in the hands of the Council of Elders or the Ninth Division. It's hard for the two families to live. Wang Bo opened the ledger and took a breath.
"Take it and make two copies, one for the Ninth and one for the Council of Elders." Lin Xiao chuckled, and the depression of being closed because of the farm for many days has gradually dissipated.
"Yes. Master. Da Niu and Wang Bo nodded.
Early the next morning, there was such a document on the table of the ninth place and the council of elders.
"It's just looking for death. This Qi family is really damned, and it blatantly violates the rules of the national art world. An old man with a white beard slapped the table and yelled.
"I said Kong Lingji, I know that you two are at odds with each other, can you be quiet and let us finish it." A glamorous lady spoke.
"The pretty widows have spoken, and I'll shut up." Kong Lingji seemed to be very afraid of this beautiful lady, and muttered.
The entire Council of Elders, the thirty-six elders were all present, and each elder looked through this account book one by one, except for Kong Lingji, who was the first to express his position, the others were silent.
"Ahem, what do you think?" Xia Yan, who was sitting on it, spoke.
"I think that families that treat the Council of Elders as nothing like this should be directly eradicated, otherwise, maybe more families will not take the Council of Elders seriously in the near future." It was Kong Lingji who was the first to jump out.
"I don't think it's appropriate, it seems that the Qi family is a first-time offender, can you forgive it." Another elder who supported the Qi family jumped out.
The scene gradually divided into two factions, and there was a stalemate.
"Do the other elders have any opinions?" Xia Yan heard the voice gradually disappearing, and knew that it was time for him to play, and his eyes looked around at everyone present.
"Do the elders think that the Qi family should be severely punished, or should the Qi family be let go lightly?" Xia Yan continued.
"Great Elder, once this precedent is set, what is the significance of our Council of Elders?" Kong Lingji spared no effort to strive for heavy punishment.
"Great Elder, the Qi family is a first-class family after all, if you work hard, you will inevitably lose eight hundred." The elders who were in favor of leniency hurriedly stated their views.
"Okay, shut up, what kind of system, we are here in the presbyterian meeting, not the vegetable market, since the two sides are deadlocked, let's use our rules and vote by a show of hands." Xia Yan snorted coldly, under his shock, few people dared to mess around, and of course they could only comply with Xia Yan's mention.
"Okay, vote by show of hands, raise hands in favor of heavy punishments." As soon as Xia Yan's words fell, the sixteen people represented by Kong Lingji instantly raised their hands.
"Okay, put it down, that's in favor of raising your hand gently." Xia Yan said again, and the scene raised more than a dozen hands again.
"It's 16-18 now, and two people, including me, didn't raise their hands." Xia Yan said lightly.
"Pretty widow, how do you think about it, which side to support?" Except for Xia Yan, the glamorous lady did not raise her hand.
"Great Elder, I support heavy punishment." After hesitating for a long time, the pretty widow slowly spoke, and the soft voice sounded in everyone's ears, but no one had **, the pretty widow is very human, not to mention the young cultivation to reach the late congenital stage, and a strange poison technique is even more unguardable, maybe if you are not careful, you are the one who can never lift her head under her pomegranate skirt.
"Okay, in this way, the final score is 17-18, only the old man is left without throwing." Xia Yan stroked his beard and said leisurely.
"I don't talk too much, if something like this happens, I don't agree to let it go, this is the most important purpose of the National Art Realm to establish an Elders' Council, can a first-class family break the rules? My Xia family is very peaceful and adheres to this principle. Xia Yan said methodically.
"As a great elder, one vote is equal to two votes, in this way, the final score is 19 to 18, let's go, let's go to the Qi family, I want to see how the Qi family will explain to me." The Xia family, as the main family that manages the Council of Elders, is still very uncomfortable with such a thing in their jurisdiction.
And on the outskirts of the capital, in a hidden underground space, the same thing is happening.
"Deal with the Qi family."
"I agree."
"I'll reconsider."
"Agreed."
……
The ninth action is equally fast, and after the meeting, the action started directly, because the Qi family's account books are clearly written, for example, the Qi family in the capital asked the Qi family in the national art world to help eradicate someone on a certain year, month, and day.
Such a careless matter of human life, the ninth place was furious, and they didn't expect that under their noses, such a thing would appear, and many people would die because of the improper means of the Qi family, how could they be comfortable.
"Hahaha, young master, look, the head minister and governor of the Qi family have been shuanggui." Da Niu and Wang Bo were watching TV, and it was saying that someone in the Qi family was shuanggui by the Commission for Discipline Inspection because of corruption and bribery.
