"Since everyone is not against it!"

"Then this official will preside over this meeting!"

"All the heads of the families in Zhibei County have already arrived, right?"

Situ Xing's body straightened slightly, looked around, and after making eye contact with all the people, he said in a tough tone, not allowing others to question it.

"Not yet!"

"The head of the Tang family, the head of the He family has not yet arrived... ”

Although the heads of the family were surprised, they didn't know why Situ was presiding over the gathering today, but the Lu family, the Hu family, and the Bai family did not object, and their small families did not dare to come forward.

Therefore, when they heard Situ Xing's domineering and undeniable tone, they all subconsciously looked around.

Most of the seats in the flower hall were full, but in the corner, there were still a few empty seats, and apparently, there were still a few heads of the family who did not show up for the appointment on time.

"Yes!"

Situ Xing bowed his head slightly, and asked with a face that was obviously a little displeased:

"The hour has already been announced, right?"

"I was notified a long time ago!"

"Every party will be given three days' notice!"

Hu Yudao knew that this was Situ Xing asking him, and hurriedly replied.

"Since the time has been announced a long time ago, why is it that these family masters have not arrived yet?"

Situ Xing looked at the empty seats with a gloomy look in his eyes, and said in a displeased voice.

"Maybe it's a long way to go!"

Hu Yudao looked at the vacant seats, his face was a little unswerving, and he said with some disbelief.

"This official doesn't pay attention to them!"

"I don't take this party seriously!"

"It's also a lack of attention to everyone here!"

"Since you don't pay attention to it so much, you don't need to attend this meeting!"

At this moment, the door of the flower hall opened again, and a panting, obese man hurriedly walked in, nodding apologetically.

"I'm sorry guys!"

"I'm sorry everyone, living in the countryside, the road is too far!"

"I set off at the end of the day, but I still missed the time!"

"This is the head of the Tang family, who has a thousand acres of land in the countryside and has hired dozens of tenant farmers to help him farm, and is a big landowner. That's why he doesn't usually live in the city!"

Seeing that Situ Xing's brows furrowed slightly, obviously a little displeased, Hu Yudao hurriedly leaned his head over and explained.

"Yes!"

Situ Xing responded lightly for a while, and saw that the head of the Tang family had already sat down, so he didn't say anything.

Looking at the few Taishi chairs that were still empty and a little dazzling, Situ Xing's eyes flickered and thought for a few moments, and without any hesitation, he turned his head and ordered:

"Go!"

"Move those seats!"

"This?"

"My lord, how many other heads of the family have not arrived?"

Listening to Situ Xing's instructions, Hu Yudao's expression couldn't help but stagnate. There was even more hesitation and surprise in his eyes.

"How?"

"Questions?"

Feeling Hu Yudao's hesitation, a trace of displeasure suddenly appeared on Situ Xing's face.

"No problem!"

"No problem!"

"You are all wooden people, didn't you hear what your adults commanded?"

"Remove all these empty seats!"

Hu Yudao watched Situ Xing's expression change, and couldn't help but be stunned in his heart, and hurriedly stood up and scolded loudly at the servants below.

"No!"

"No!"

Seeing that the head of the family was angry, the subordinates of the Hu family naturally did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly stepped forward, ignoring everyone's surprised eyes, and moved away from the empty Taishi chairs very neatly.

The flower hall, which was originally a little crowded, suddenly seemed a lot more relaxed.

"This?"

"What's going on?"

"And the head of the house hasn't arrived?"

"Why move the seats?"

Looking at the seats that had been removed, the eyes of the heads of the families couldn't help but show surprise.

"Your Excellency!"

"Why do you want people to move their seats?"

Seeing that the seat was moved, the head of the Liu family, who had a goatee, stood up again and said with a displeased face.

Situ Xing was questioned by him again, his face suddenly became extremely difficult to look at, and his eyes were as sharp as long knives, and he was forced to look at them directly.

The head of the Liu family, as if he had something to rely on, did not avoid it, so he looked at Situ Xing like this, and he didn't even have any intention of retreating.

"This official is very busy!"

"I think you're busy too!"

"But why is everyone gathered here?"

"Because we think this meeting is even more important!"

"But they were notified early, and they made us wait here, wasting our lives, and they said, is that appropriate?"

"If he doesn't take all of us into account, why do we all have to take them into account?"

Situ Xing looked around with cold eyes, and after making eye contact with everyone, he leaned forward slightly, and said with a domineering face.

"However, since the head of the Liu family has an opinion on the disposal of this official, this official is not a domineering person. ”

"This official is here to ask everyone's opinion, remove the seats, who is in favor and who is against!"

Rumble!

As Situ Xing's words landed, the dragon qi in the air suddenly rolled up, and a trace of red aura fell from the sky, surrounding Situ Xing's body like a dragon.

made his already domineering figure even more majestic.

In addition to the dragon qi, there are also chains that symbolize the majesty of the law, and everyone present will have a pillar of light above their heads like a pillar of luck piercing.

Although it won't let their luck be ruined.

But it made them involuntarily afraid of the punishment in their hearts.

Legalist supernatural powers, shock!

This is also the biggest difference between Legalism and Confucianism.

Confucianism pays attention to benevolence!

Legalists pay attention to prestige!

Confucianism governs the country with benevolence and righteousness, and restricts people's hearts with morality!

The Legalists use severe punishment to deter people's hearts, so that people dare not take a step beyond the thunder pool!

"This... ”

The heads of the wealthy families looked at Situ Xing's cold expression, and for some reason, they couldn't help but feel a sudden burst in their hearts.

Looking at Situ Xing's eyes, there was also an unspeakable fear.

In this case, they still dare to have an opinion, so they can only sit there with their heads bowed and like quails.

No sound!

"Since the adults are silent!"

"Then this official will take you as a default!"

"Someone!"

"Get their seats out of the way!"

Looking at the silent crowd, after Situ Xing's eyes crossed everyone's faces, he showed a faint smile and said without any hesitation.

"Wait a minute!"

"The old man is against it!"

"Others are afraid of your sentence, but the old man is not afraid of you... ”

Seeing that everyone was being photographed by the momentum of Situ Xing, the head of the Liu family sat there like quails, and did not dare to say a word, so he was suddenly angry, and said in a fierce voice:

"Oh... ”

Looking at the head of the Liu family, who was standing like a fighting, Situ Xing's eyes couldn't help but have a hint of playfulness.

Just then, the door was opened again.

Two middle-aged men with bloated bodies and sweating profusely all over their bodies, panting and trotting into the flower hall, looking at Situ Xing sitting upright like a master, white and comfortable, Hu Yudao surrounded both sides, their eyes couldn't help flashing a trace of surprise, but they still looked around with apologetic faces.

"I'm sorry!"

"I'm sorry guys!"

"Living in the country, it's a long way away, so it's late!"

"These two are the head of the He family, the head of the Lu family, and the place where they live is indeed far away from here... ”

"So, it's almost every time it's late!"

Seeing that Si Tu Xing didn't know their identities, Bai Zizai hurriedly explained in a low voice.

"It's fine!"

On Situ Xing's originally cold cheeks, a rare smile appeared.

"It's a far place to live!"

"yes!"

"yes!"

"The place to stay is far away and the road is not very good, so I was late!"

Although they didn't know what Situ Xing meant by this, the two family heads still nodded hurriedly with a look of agreement.

"Sit!"

"Find your own seat!"

Situ Xing smiled lightly, as if he didn't mind.

"Good!"

"Thank you!"

"Thank you!"

The head of the He family and the head of the Lu family couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief in their hearts when they saw that Situ Xing's face was kind, and they said with gratitude on their faces.

However, when they turned to look for their seats, they found out!

The hall was so full that there wasn't a single empty seat.

"This?"

The two subconsciously glanced at each other, and they both saw a trace of bitterness in each other's eyes.

Although there was a little reluctance in their hearts, the two of them turned around at the same time and looked at Situ with some embarrassment.

"Your Excellency!"

"There are no more seats!"

"Did you ask the maid to bring two chairs?"

"Okay!"

Situ Xing nodded without any hesitation, but he didn't immediately order, but asked as if curious:

"I don't know, what kind of car did the two heads of the family take to come?"

"Carriage?"

"Or an ox cart?"

"Ox cart!"

"We are too weak to stand the bumps of the carriage!"

Although the head of the He family didn't know what the purpose of Situ Xing's question was, he still answered truthfully.

"Yes!"

"The ox cart is comfortable, the carriage is bumpy, and now the wealthy people travel, most of them take the ox cart... ”

Situ Xing nodded slightly, his face full of approval, but then he changed his words again, and said to himself:

"The two heads of the family, do you know what kind of car the official was in when he came?"

"Pick up the car!"

"The Mohist craftsmanship and skillful hands, it took a year to build the machine car, which is different from the ox cart and horse-drawn cart, no need to eat grass, as long as there is a spar in the reactor, it can always move forward tirelessly. ”

"Moreover, no matter how muddy and difficult the road is, it can walk on the ground and travel thousands of miles a day!"

"This official is sitting in the Mojia machine car, but you are sitting in an ordinary ox cart, how can you not be late?"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

Although the weather was not very hot, the head of the He family and the head of the Lu family were sweating all over their heads when they were questioned by Situ, like worms, and they kept nodding their heads.

"The ox cart is too slow, it's not as good as an adult's machine!"

"All the heads of the families here are either driving the machine or riding a dragon horse!"

"You two in an ox cart, what qualifications do you have to sit here!"

"What qualifications do you have to talk to us about things!"

"Master Hu, invite the two of them out, there will be a meeting in the future, and there is no need to call them here!"

Situ Xing gently put his tea cup on the table, and said without any room for maneuver.

"This... ”

"What?"

Looking at Situ Xing's domineering expression, the expressions of the head of the He family and the head of the Lu family couldn't help but stagnate.

"How can this be?"

"Our family has been a member of the Zhibei Hao family for generations!"

"That's it!"

"This is too child's play!"

"It's just being late... ”

The head of the Liu family, the head of the Liu family and others are accustomed to singing the opposite tune.

The eyes of the other heads of the family also showed a trace of sympathy.

It's more about the death of rabbits and the sorrow of foxes.

"It's so unbelievable!"

"Lord Situ, don't you think about it again!"

Seeing the changes in the expressions on everyone's faces, Situ Xing suddenly understood their thoughts, and said without any hesitation:

"After the Lu family and the He family quit the Hao family, they will not participate in this meeting, and they will not participate in the future. Their interests, everyone shares!"

"This!"

The heads of the family did not expect that Situ would be so generous that he would take out all the interests of the head of the He family and the Lu family and share them equally.

Their eyes flickered.

Measure in your heart how much you can get ...

A person's expression suddenly changed subtly.

"This... ”

"How can this be!"

"You can't do that?"

Looking at the eyes of the heads of the family, the kind of ghost that belonged to the evil wolf emanated, as if the He family and the Lu family were no longer one of them, but lambs slaughtered by others.

The faces of the head of the He family and the head of the Lu family suddenly changed greatly, and they looked around with some fear and some coldness.

"Since you have no opinion, then this official will ask again!"

"Regarding the removal of the Lu family and the He family from the list of wealthy families, who is in favor and who is against?"

The head of the He family and the head of the Lu family knew that it had reached the critical moment of their life and death, and they could no longer care about face, and kept looking at the family heads around them with pleading eyes.

"Everyone!"

"We're all wealthy!"

"Together!"

"Master Li, in-laws, we are in-laws!"

"Nangong family master, Nangong family master, we are brothers!"

However, what chilled them was that all the heads of the house turned a deaf ear to their pleading gazes, and even the heads of the houses who usually applauded them kept dodging their eyes.

"Good!"

"No one objected!"

"Then the matter of the Lu family and the He family is so decided!"

Situ Xing turned his head slightly, exchanged glances with all the family heads, and when he saw that no one objected, he nodded lightly and said conclusively.

"Family, please go out with unrelated people!"

"The meeting is about to start!"

Looking at the unusually indifferent gazes around them, the faces of the head of the He family and the head of the Lu family became more and more pale.

It is foreseeable that after today, the He family and the Lu family will be torn apart and annexed by these former wealthy brothers.

They looked around with empty eyes and despair, like puppets being torn apart by the family. is leaving.

At this moment, an old voice suddenly came from the flower hall:

"Old decay opposes!"

The head of the He family and the head of the Lu family seemed to see some kind of turnaround, and a glimmer of light and vitality suddenly appeared in their originally dim and desperate eyes.
