Eight

In the courtyard of Yue's house, the chaotic crowd was clamoring. The family members did not know where to drag two pigs, as well as large bags of rice grain and wine syrup. Someone was stabbing a pig and bleeding, the pig was screaming and struggling, blood was pouring out, and the crowd was holding down and screaming loudly. Yue Xiang's fingers in the kitchen almost poked the kitchen steward's nose, and said viciously: "I'll tell you, don't nonsense, hurry up and make a fire for me!" Otherwise, you look good! ”

"Less...... Master...... The old man instructed...... "Although the steward has seen Yue Xiang's appearance of being muddy, he has never seen anyone who has been tossed to this point, and he is almost like a bandit." Usually has conflicts and contradictions with his father, but they are basically reasonable, and it is the first time I have seen such a brutal act as today.

"If I tell you to start a gang, you will start a gang, do you want to be like him!?" Yue Xiang made a move behind with his hand, and Ma Sandao and Li Shoucai dragged Yue Qi over. I saw that this guy was tied up with five flowers, covered with bruises, and he looked like no one who was beaten. "A mere subordinate dares to make a bold mistake, do you want to learn from him?" As he spoke, several strong men around him surrounded him, staring at him with horizontal eyebrows.

The steward was scared and was about to sift the chaff, thinking that you yourself are not disobedient to your father, this is the standard crime. But how dare you say that the fire eyebrows look at the front first. I didn't dare to say anything else, so I beckoned a few guys to make a fire and cook at once.

At this moment, Uncle Biao was also tied up, and Yue Xiang really came with the idea of making a big fuss this time. At this critical moment, if someone in the backyard in front of you is busy and someone sets fire, you really can't do anything. Jianyu waved his army to kill at any time, and he first had to ensure that his own one-third of an acre of land could be completely controlled by himself. In extraordinary times, extraordinary measures are used, and if necessary, a coup d'Γ©tat is not hesitated.

Now that I have just entered the house, the next step is to try to grasp the real power in the family. The only force that he can rely on at the moment is this family army. When he was full, he went to have a showdown with his father. Either hand over the patriarch's seal and the key to the silver account room, or put him under house arrest. There is no way, since I want to do something big, I have to eliminate some interference.

But before Yue Xiang went to find his old man, Yue Yuan came to the door himself. Also there were Baojia Lizheng of Liushufang, various elders in the clan, and the descendants of the hundred and tenth, and even the people in the official face also found him. From a distance, I saw Zhao Dong, the chief inspector of the inspection department, also leading a few inspectors to come over.

Yue Xiang sneered, thinking that no wonder he didn't show up for a long time, it turned out that he had moved the rescuers. He didn't care, just at this time, the wine, meat and food were almost ready, and he greeted everyone while beckoning everyone to eat.

"Mr. Zhao, look at you, what kind of family does this rebel want to toss into before he is sincere." Zhao Yuanwai looked at the pig blood and messy pig hair footprints all over the ground, as well as the unpleasant smell unique to the water. The straight man couldn't even speak clearly, "This rebel, his brother just had an accident, and he was about to turn the sky upside down." Today is with him without me, with me without him! As he spoke, he was about to run to Yue Xiang with a cane, but was stopped by the person next to him.

"Mr. Zhao, you hurry up and arrest this rebel and put him in prison, I don't want to see him again!" Yue Yuan sat aside angrily, trembling all over.

Zhao Dong looked at the scene in front of him, and only had a wry smile in his heart. Qinghe City is not big, everyone looks up and doesn't look down, they know each other, he knows what kind of character Yue Xiang is, he knows very well. Today, he saw Yue Xiang on the road with his own eyes leading a large group of men and horses to guard the yamen, and he already knew what was going on. I thought that if I arrested him, he has a meritorious reputation, and now he may be an official of the imperial court, so I will arrest him with my unpopular general inspection? Only if you can catch it, there are ghosts.

Besides, with just a few of me, I'm afraid I can't help him with three punches and two kicks. In addition, there were more than 200 people at the scene, and it was better not to cause trouble if they went to the door to dismantle my inspection department.

"Yo! Why did Mr. Zhao come? Brother, I have lost my welcome, forgive my sins. Yue Xiangpi stepped forward without smiling and arched his hand. I don't know what Mr. Zhao has to do? Come on, come on, just call the guys to come over and eat and drink. ”

He winked as he spoke. More than a dozen strong men immediately rushed out of the side, and several inspectors around Zhao Dong grabbed Zhao Dong like an eagle catching a chicken, and the big wrist meat and wine were placed in front of him, and several people were not eating or not, and they all looked at their leaders in fear.

"Ziyi, everyone is a member of their own family, why do you want to do this. I am going to the Three Treasures Hall today for nothing, you are a person who has read the book and is a talent, this truth should not be told to you. How? For my sake, stop making trouble. What do you see your dad is so angry? Zhao Dong felt that what he said was in vain, because he felt that Yue Xiang seemed to be a little different today.

He is in charge of patrolling and arresting thieves, and he is very good at seeing people. He felt that today's Yue Xiang seemed to be different from before, and he couldn't say what was different. But my intuition felt that the person in front of me was different from the person I knew before.

The other elders also echoed it, trying to persuade and subdue Yue Xiang as elders. Yue Xiang just sneered and hugged his arms, watching these people waste saliva around him. Finally yelled impatiently: "Shut the fuck up for me!" "It's like a thunderstorm on a sunny day, and these old things that can't eat the ancient are all forced to speak. Looking at Yue Xiang in disbelief, openly insulting his elders, is this like what a scholar can do? What the hell is this kid trying to do?

"Hmph, you've been talking for a long time, it's all a bunch of bullshit! Rats' eyes! Yue Xiang's face was cold and hard, and he slowly glanced at these uncles in the clan. Now that the national crisis is at hand, it is the time for my generation to serve the court loyally! As a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, you will receive the grace of the country but do not think of repaying the country, and you will face great disasters in the future. I have been ordered by the imperial court, are you asking me to disobey the orders of the imperial court? It's going to be all over the place! In the future, the imperial army will exterminate the Jianyu, and those who retreat from the battle will be liquidated. Can our Yue family have a good end!? ”

These words were shouted out, and the mouths of these people were immediately sealed. Yue Yuanwai sued Yue Xiang for disobedience, but Yue Xiang countered in the name of loyalty. There are people like Zhao Dong at the scene, let alone what Yue Xiang did wrong. Everyone didn't know what to do for a while, and sometimes some people said that it was not to let Yue Xiang organize a volunteer brigade, but that everything had to be discussed in the long run, and it was best to discuss it with the elders and elders of the clan. As a result, Yue Xiang sneered at him again.

"Discuss it? When will we be discussing? If you haven't discussed the result by waiting for Jianyu to hit the door, the daylily will be cold. The army is the general's word hall, the order is forbidden, whoever is in charge has the final say, I have never heard of everyone discussing it! It just so happens that you are all here, take the opportunity to make it clear today, and I will have the final say in the Yue family in the future. I want to use my family property and clan property to pay for the military expenses of my righteous society and serve the court, which of you is in favor and who is against? ”

Yue Xiang's attitude was really terrifying, and there was no room for bargaining at all. Everyone is at a loss, how about approval? How's the opposition? Is it against you, what else can you do to me? But the current Yue Xiang is obviously abnormal, and it is not impossible to do something out of the ordinary. Moreover, under the guise of the righteousness of the imperial court, there were officials present at the scene, and if they were opposed, it seemed that they were against the imperial court.

Of course, no one agreed, and everyone seemed to be frozen here.

"Why didn't anyone speak? Who is in favor? Who is against? I Yue Xiang, who is in favor, am grateful, and I will not be able to forget today's events when I have a bright future in the future. The opponent is my Yue Xiang's opponent, and in the future, don't blame me for being ruthless! ”

Yue Xiang's speech at this moment was almost like a threat, and his voice was fierce. In fact, this is the case, these years are not peaceful and prosperous, and the most effective and simple way is to intimidate by force, which is an effective method at any time. People's hearts are separated from the belly, these people are old fritters, and to say that it is not obedient Chinese have always liked to fight in the nest the most, if you tell them well, maybe you will have some messy problems with yang and yin violations, who will listen to you if you don't play ruthless?

At this moment, Yue Xiang's subordinates had all put down their dishes and chopsticks, and they were scattered and surrounded by faint future people. Zhao Dong looked at the face like earth beside him, thinking that Yue Xiang really wanted to make his own Lao Tzu opposed, and found a good excuse. If you pretend not to see such disobedience, you are really in a bad position.

It's just that the situation in front of him is really not good, and the Yue family has a lot of power in Qinghe. If this matter is really reported to the public, it may not be really managed, and if someone is sent down to investigate, the battle for family power may have already been settled, and it is guaranteed that Yue Xiang has successfully reached the top, and it will be easy to settle this matter at that time. And the first priority in Qinghe City at the moment is to strengthen the city defense to deal with the possible war, who has the heart to care about this idle matter. Although Yue Xiang's actions were reckless and brutal, no matter how he said it, it was for Qinghe City.

"Ziyi, if you have something to say. I know that you are fiercely loyal to the imperial court, but after all, the people present are all your elders and fellow clansmen, don't hurt the harmony, and in the future, you will have to rely on these children and soldiers to support you in organizing the righteous society! ”

After Zhao Dong and the mud, everyone present knew what kind of attitude he had. Most of the elders in the clan were face to face, and those young descendants all admired Yue Xiang and wanted to follow him to the world to seek wealth and nobility, and they secretly frowned with others. Yue Xiang finally asked again: "Those who oppose me stand up!" ”

The result, of course, was that no one moved, so no one objected. Yue Xiang sent Zhao Dong away with kind words, and came back and shouted to everyone: "Brothers, it's time for a manly man to make his own decisions, and those who are willing to follow me Yue Xiang will come over, and they will have blessings and hardships in the future!" You have all registered with the government, even if you are an officer and soldier of the state. Now go back to it, it's too late! It's called a deserter, you know? Deserters will lose their heads if they are dealt with according to military law! Whether you want to follow me to seek wealth and wealth, or if you are caught by the government and killed, you can figure it out for yourself! ”

There was a deafening shout, and as a result, the young students all came over. Those elders couldn't stop it, seeing that the general trend had gone, their faces were sad. Old Man Yue lamented again and again, the authority of the Yue family was taken away by his second son, who was not good at learning.

This feudal authority is actually just a layer of window paper, which seems inviolable when you don't pierce it; It's really like that.

"Father, since you don't object. Then please live in the inner courtyard and live in peace. In the future, the affairs of the family will be taken care of by the children. He also asked the father to give the child the seal and the key. Yue Xiang walked up to Yue Yuanwai with a triumphant smile on his face.

"You unfilial rebel! If you want the sigil, find it from my corpse! With a snort of the old man, he ran to a big tree next to him and touched his head. Yue Xiang had already seen that his expression was wrong, so he stepped forward and hugged him. Everyone was suddenly in chaos again. But after a while, the old man stopped moving, and seemed to be exhausted and fell asleep. Yue Xiang immediately asked his mother Huang to come in, brought a few maid rings, and helped the old man into the inner house.

"Uncles, let's go back and prepare, the little nephew has thanked you in advance." Yue Xiang bowed deeply to this group of old guys, although he didn't say anything to prepare. But they all know in their hearts what they want to give. At this moment, they have realized that their time is over, and now it is Yue Xiang, this kid, who speaks.

After seeing off these old men, Yue Xiang returned to the compound. At this time, everyone's interest is very high, and those who are brave and ruthless are naturally those who are more ruthless and stronger than themselves. The almost inhuman hard-handed methods that Yue Xiang had just shown convinced them. doesn't even take his own Lao Tzu in his eyes, what else will this kind of person be afraid of in the world?

"The big guy eats and drinks well. When you have eaten and drunk enough, go back to your original place and sleep, and do not cause trouble. Tomorrow I have my own command. The crowd agreed in a hurry.

Yue Xiang turned around and called a young stick boy, this person's name is Yue Shan, he is called uncle according to his generation, in fact, the two are about the same age. He and Yue Xiang have learned the fist and foot style, and they are half an apprentice, and their talent is first-class among the families of the same clan, Yue Xiang whispered a few words in his ear, and he nodded and went down.

"Lao Li, Lao Ma, take this kid to my courtyard for me to be strictly guarded, and I'll go over and ask him something later."

Li Shoucai and Ma Sandao dragged Yue Qi up like a dead dog from the ground, and carried him in the direction of the cross-courtyard where Yue Xiang lived. Yue Xiang watched them walk away, found a seat and sat down and began to munch, looking around as he ate. Until he saw Yue Shan come back, he nodded to him, and then called a dozen of his usually best fighting companions to flash out of the compound together. He stood up, wiped his hands, and walked unhurriedly towards his own courtyard.

The maids and servants in the courtyard seemed to have a slightly different look at the second young master than before, and they all knew the amazing behavior of this young master today. Even the master can't lower him, he can be said to be the only one in this family.

In addition, a kid covered in blood was pulled in just now and tied to a tree, and then take a closer look, isn't this the usually handsome young master Yue Qi?

Seeing that Yue Qi was beaten all over his body, his face was covered with blood, and he didn't see the usual dashing energy, thinking that this Yue Qi was in the house on weekdays, and he made a lot of dew marriages.

And this guy often wanders here when the second young master is not in trouble, always looking for an opportunity to get close to the second young grandmother, although he has never succeeded, but he is disgusted like a fly. Today, I'm afraid that the matter will be revealed to the second young master, and he will settle the ledger if he is taken, everyone should be careful, and don't touch his moldy head when the young master is in a bad mood. So one by one, they are cautious, and they don't dare to come out.

Yue Xiang slowly walked to the courtyard and stood in front of Yue Qi and looked at him with a sneer. I have long seen that this kid is not pleasing to the eye, and this time I have seized the opportunity to clean him up.

"Xiaohuan, take your master to my sister-in-law's place for one night to comfort and comfort my sister-in-law. I've got some business to do here tonight. ”

Yahuan agreed and left with Chen, and the servants slipped away when they saw the opportunity.

There was no one else in the courtyard, Yue Xiang stepped forward and patted Yue Qi's face, and said with a smile: "Yue Qi, you should know how powerful you are in my hands now." Tell me, who is colluding with me and trying to frame me? If you don't tell the truth, you'll have a good time! ”

As he spoke, he grabbed Yue Qi's hand and forcibly pulled his fingers away, and the tip of the bamboo stick in his hand went directly into the cover of his fingernails......
