The hall was silent, only Shen Hu was gushing.

Shen Hu's face was full of light, and his mind was full of hysteria, if it was his turn to be the patriarch, he would be able to enter and exit the prefect's yamen, and he could not say that he was on an equal footing with the prefect, but he could also speak in this Songjiang realm. Although he is only a prisoner, the children of the clan are excellent, and no one dares to underestimate him as the head of the clan.

Thinking like this, Shen Hu looked at Shen Li, Shen Jin and the others with a look of concern. These are the younger generations of his clan, and they are also his dependents. Although there are few contacts in Pingsuri, if he becomes the patriarch in the future, he will have to worry about the affairs of each room, and he will be close to each other.

"What daydreams does Big Brother make? Not to mention that the position of the patriarch should not be tossed, let outsiders guess in their lives; Even if you want to change people, there are many talents in the clan, and you can't get the third room! Shen Yong watched his brother make jokes, and everyone should have watched the play and stomped their feet anxiously.

The others were silent, Shen Hu only thought about each room, and it was his brothers who didn't want to demolish the stage, so he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Why can't it be the turn of the third room?" Whether it is from the blood relationship, or the elder and younger, it is the turn of the third room. You say, "Isn't that the truth?" The last sentence was addressed to the people seated.

Before the others could speak, the ninth room master couldn't help but sneer: "Oh, about blood kinship? On the superiority and inferiority of the elderly? If you really want to turn like that, it still won't be the turn of the third room! The ancestors of the second room and the fourth room are both descendants, and when it comes to the blood relatives, the second room and the fourth room are naturally behind the sect room, why is it the turn of the third room? In terms of the respect and humility of the elders and the young, the old lady of the third room and the old lady of the eighth room are gone, is there anyone in the clan who is older than me? According to what you mean, Shen Hai is so tired that he is recuperating, but he has to work for me, an old immortal, to take care of the clan affairs? ”

If he is ten years younger, the position of the patriarch is vacant, and the prince of the ninth room is afraid that he will really have to fight, but now that he is old, he has little energy and lack of energy. There is also the fact that the old man is not a foolish person, so he naturally saw that the sect gave up the position of patriarch to appease the dissatisfaction of the heads of each room, and also to bridge the relationship with the five rooms. The position of the patriarch is, to put it bluntly, the apology of the clan to the five rooms.

His eldest grandson is still closed in the prefect's yamen, and in the future, he will count on these juniors in Beijing to take care of and mediate, but these are all biased towards the fifth room, and the nine-room master is naturally willing to sell it to the fifth room: "The head of a family, or with high morality or outstanding ability, must always occupy one." What kind of blood kinship, the elder and the young, but secondary. According to me, Brother Qi in the fifth room is not bad. He was originally an outstanding person, although he suffered a few days ago, now he has also gained innocence, and in the future, he will have to keep his business in Songjiang, and it is also convenient to take care of the affairs of the sacrificial field clan by the way. ”

After the ninth room master finished speaking, everyone was waiting to see the reaction of Shen Yuan in the second room. In addition to the zongfang, the second room is the first, and it should also be the turn of the second room to express its position.

With Shen Rui's relationship with the fifth room, everyone thought that the two uncles and nephews would respond to the words of the ninth room master, but they were silent.

Shen Hu of the third room wanted to speak again, but Shen Yong said something in his ear, and his face was gloomy and silent.

Everyone is looking at Shen Jin in the fourth room, and he is also a non-speaker.

What does this mean? Is the second or fourth room having the heart to fight for the patriarch? Or is the relationship between the two rooms and the five rooms not as good as it seems?

There were many people who were puzzled, and the brothers Shen Ying and Shen Quan in the fifth room were also silent.

Shen Qi of the sixth room has long hated the sect, no matter whether the patriarch is active or "passive" in front of him, as long as he gives up the position of the patriarch, it will be in line with Shen Qi's thoughts.

Shen Qi waited for a while, but no one spoke, so he spoke: "If the sect wants to make Xian, then I support the proposal of the ninth master, and Shen Qi can be the acting patriarch." ”

The sixth room has already expressed its position, but the seventh and eighth rooms have offended people if they don't open their mouths.

Shen Qin only looked at Shen Liu, obviously the seventh room was going to be the head of the eighth room.

Shen Liu looked around, and couldn't figure out the plans for the second and fourth rooms, but he still nodded and said, "The eighth room also supports the proposal of the ninth room master." ”

Only then did Shen Qin speak: "Qifang also supports it." ”

Rao knew that the position of the patriarch was going to be given up, but seeing that several heads of houses who had not had much contact with Wufang also supported the change of patriarch in this way, Shen Jun's heart was also blocked.

What does it mean to be "betrayed and separated"? This is the scene in front of you. It was not bad for my father to make a mistake, but fortunately he made a quick decision, if he had planned according to his father's previous plan, the heads of each house would have to tear the dough today. When the time comes, the heads of each house will have the same hatred and hatred, and it will be the sect that is scolded.

Shen Jun was a little scared, and broke out in a cold sweat. He straightened his face and said to Shen Ying: "I also agree with the proposal of the ninth master, the elders have a spring and autumn season, and it is not easy to work; Jade generation, Qi Ge'er's talents and abilities are countable. ”

Although the ninth room master was puzzled that the reactions of the second room and the fourth room were not quite right, he also saw that all the heads of the room agreed with his proposal, and he was also a little proud.

Shen Ying stood up, bowed to everyone, and said, "On behalf of my second brother, I have thanked all the clansmen for recommending them, but I have a somewhat shallow view of the things in the clan. ”

Except for a few people who knew about it, everyone else was confused by Shen Ying's solemnity, what does this mean? I don't see the joy of the patriarch falling from the sky, but there seems to be a hidden worry.

The ninth room master said: "There is no one else at the moment, you can say anything happily." “

Shen Ying glanced around at everyone present and said: "This 'Shen family's three sons case' has made the family uneasy, and the tired second room and second uncle and the six brothers have come back thousands of miles away, which is nothing more than 'the same origin, one is prosperous, and one is lost'." This time, the Shen family escaped by luck, will they have such good luck next time if they encounter such a disaster again? But if the crime of the same crime in the family falls on the clansmen, no matter whether they are near or far, no one can escape. ”

When he heard the words, everyone's faces changed.

Shen Jun's mind was the most active, and others were still worried according to Shen Ying's assumptions, and he had already figured out Shen Ying's intention in saying these words.

Is this to strengthen the management of the clan? A fool like Shen Yuan, and a person like Shen Zhu who harms others and is not beneficial to himself, do you have to be strictly disciplined? If you really want to talk about it, these two people are the bane, and it is not wrong to say that they are the enemies of the five rooms.

What does five-room mean? Before the temporary position of the patriarch, you are going to start revenge and liquidation? If that's the case, what will the five rooms do to the sect?

For a while, Shen Jun's heart was in turmoil, and he faintly felt a little remorseful.

The older people get, the more they cherish their lives, and the assumption that the Shen family may suffer again, others will only be a little worried, but the ninth master thought that Shen Ying had only come back from the capital, and the news was better than that of everyone in Songjiang, and he couldn't help but "chuckle" in his heart, but he was really scared.

The dust has settled on the surface of the "Shen family's three sons and widows", but is it really over? He Lao Er is still locked up in a clear way, and Shen Lu and Shen Zhu are also detained in the name of "witnesses".

The ninth room master became nervous when he thought about it, and shouted: "It can't be counted like this, the inside and outside of the Shen family has already come out of the five suits, even if someone violates the national law, it is the relatives in the five suits who will be investigated, and others will not have their turn." ”

"At that time, when the clan asks for guilt, will the government distinguish the population according to the genealogy and uniformity?" Shen Ying said.

The ninth room master said anxiously: "How can that be good?" This Shen family has been breeding in Songjiang for more than 100 years, several generations, and many descendants. Isn't it wrongful to say that you haven't even met in person, and you have been affected like this? ”

Shen Jun's heart sank, looked at Shen Ying and said, "What does Brother Ying mean, but just in case, will Brother Lu and Shen Zhu be expelled from the clan?" ”

Shen Yong's face showed discomfort, and this was the same reason he used when he persuaded the patriarch to remove Shen Ling.

"No way!" The ninth master stood up all of a sudden, and said excitedly: "Brother Lu and Shen Zhu are just 'witnesses', so they have to follow them to the capital." The government has not convicted the two of their brothers, so there is a confused conviction in this clan? I disagree! ”

Shen Qi and Shen Liu's faces were not good-looking, they were dissatisfied with the clan and were willing to support Wufang to accept the position of patriarch, but it didn't mean that they intended to watch Wufang take the opportunity to attack the clan.

Trees have roots, and water has a source.

The family is the root of a person, how can the person in power in the clan be cut off with a random word? That would be unfair to the people. Shen Ling was "exterminated" when she was killed, which is already a pity, how can she watch Wufang concoct the second "exclusion" incident.

Today, Wufang can vent his anger at Shen Lu and Shen Zhu under the banner of being good for the clansmen, and tomorrow he will be able to treat other clansmen like this.

Is this a five-room or the five-room they wanted to support before?

Shen Jin has been watching, watching the faces of the people in the sixth, seventh, and eighth rooms getting more and more ugly, and hurriedly said: "Brother Ying, if you have any good proposals, just say it directly, everyone in the province is confused, and they are worried about speculation in vain." ”

Shen Ying nodded to Shen Jin, turned to the ninth room master and said, "The master misunderstood, grandson didn't mean that." The grandson just watched the Shen family go through this ordeal, and he was a little worried. ”

The ninth room master frowned and was silent for a while, and said bluntly: "Did you notice something?" I wouldn't say such a thing in vain, but what is really wrong with the Shen family? ”

Shen Ying sighed and said: "The Shen family is too popular now, and it is difficult to guarantee that there is no second He family who wants to replace the Shen family." Even the prefect is there, and he doesn't want to be entrenched in a big family like the Shen family. ”

Shen Qin was young and vigorous in the end, and said angrily when he heard this: "The Shen family can have today, and it is also the result of generations of descendants, and they can't shrink up because they are afraid of other people's eyes." Brother Ying, you say, what should our Shen family do? ”

The brothers Shen Hu and Shen Yong couldn't figure out if Shen Ying was using Shen Zhu's incident to attack Sanfang, so they didn't speak, just watching the reactions of others.

Shen Yuan's uncle and nephew, Shen Jin, and Shen Li, the "irons" of the five rooms, except for Shen Jin who opened his mouth to say a word, the others were silent before.

After pouring this effort, Shen Qin directly questioned Shen Ying, but Shen Yuan opened his mouth: "The tree has a big branch, and the people are divided into families, even if it is the same origin, it is out of the five suits, and it should be divided according to the rules." If the clan is divided, the clan is different from the family, and if it encounters such a disaster again, it will not end the Songjiang Shen family......
