In the end, the patriarch decided to abandon his son and wash himself away!

Bai Jinzhi looked at a pair of bamboo slips, sneered and put the bamboo slips back on the small table: "You don't dare to accept the position of patriarch again, but you can't fool this matter over." Most of these are gifts from His Majesty, and most of them are sent back to the clan by the Bai family, but if they are lost or given away...... That is a crime to offend the face of heaven, if Your Majesty is not happy...... The death penalty is a small matter, and the disaster is left behind by the nine clans, do you want the whole clan to die for your son's greed?! ”

Zhou County's eyes brightened, and he added in a timely manner: "Exactly, the things given by the emperor should be worshiped as good students, and it is disrespectful to lose, give away, or damage!" It is appropriate for the Bai family to send the royal gifts back to the clan for worship, but Bai Qiyun privately withholds the imperial gifts for his own use, which is already a capital crime of committing Yan! If this gift cannot be recovered...... The lower officials have no choice but to play impartially, and I hope the county lord will forgive me! ”

"Master!" When the patriarch's wife heard that her legs were going to be weak, would it really affect her son's life? There are so many good things that the wife of the patriarch has gotten into her mother's house, and her brother will never spit it out!

When the rest of the clansmen heard this, they were so frightened that they crusaded against the patriarch one after another, and their words were sharp and ugly.

Bai Jinzhi sneered at the right time: "Before, Bai Qiyun came to my Bai family, forcing our Bai family to disperse all the family property and gather more than 400,000 taels of silver to the clan, should it be ...... It's Bai Qiyun who is making a show, so swallow it privately! After all, these hundreds of thousands of bright silver have not been known until now, even if it is a splash, it should be heard! ”

As soon as these words came out, the anger of the clansmen arched higher and higher, and the attitude of the clansmen towards the patriarch's family became more and more unrestrained, and they shouted and scolded all the dissatisfaction with the patriarch's family over the years.

The noise in the courtyard of the ancestral hall intensified, and the wind rose in the already dark sky, and the light rain followed, which did not make the anger of the Bai clan people lessen a little.

Under the lantern of the dim yellow lamp in the corridor, the thin and long Bai Qingyan slowly stood up, and the light spots leaking from the bottom of the lantern swayed, reflecting the intricately carved ancestral hall partition and bluestone floor, and also reflecting her fair and quiet delicate facial features, like a weak and shocking Hong, elegant and quiet, but also tenacious and calm, noble and compelling.

Seeing that Bai Qingyan had gotten up, the clansmen gradually quieted down, looked in the direction of Bai Qingyan, and only listened to Bai Qingyan: "As the patriarch, he did not fulfill the responsibility of the patriarch, did not follow the ancestral rules of the family, took the things given by the emperor as his own, did not persuade and teach the clansmen, shielded his own children and grandchildren, connived at his murder, and dealt with the aftermath, so that the Bai clan's atmosphere was corrupted!" The children of the clan have bad character, act rebelliously, bully the people, and even harm people's lives, misbehave with the patriarch, have crooked virtues, are greedy, and have a great stake! ”

She looked sideways at the pale patriarch: "Dismiss him as the patriarch and order him to return all the royal gifts and silver money sent to the clan by the Bai family, who embezzled most of them, within ten days." If it cannot be returned within ten days, then please ask Lord Zhou to dispose of it according to law. ”

"That's right! I just have to let them pay it back, and not a penny or silver is missing! The people were indignant.

"This time, the people of Shuoyang have suffered a lot because the Bai clan relies on the prestige of the Bai family, and now there are repeated bandits around Shuoyang, and the court can't spare its hands to suppress the bandits! Bai Qingyan used the money embezzled by the former patriarch of the Bai clan to suppress the bandits, and pacified the bandits for the surname Bai of Shuoyang, as compensation for one or two! ”

"Good!" The people outside the door didn't know who shouted hello, and the surname Bai followed suit.

Although the bandits did not enter the city, there were bandits around Shuoyang one after another, and the government never sent people to suppress the bandits.

Bai Qingyan bowed to the people outside the door, and called Bai Qingping's name.

Bai Qingping was flattered, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute Bai Qing: "The county lord ......"

"Go and report your cousin to Lord Zhou, settle the dumb girl's business, do a good job! The law does not avoid relatives, and cousins make mistakes...... You report it, and then clean up the aftermath, like my descendants of the Bai family! Bai Qingyan's deep and gloomy eyes stared at Bai Qingping.

Bai Qingping only felt that his inner emotions were surging, his nose was sore, and he hung his head lower, and he was actually ashamed in his heart.

"You are still young, your father can teach a son like you to live up to the ancestors of the Bai family." Bai Qingyan's eyes fell on Bai Qingping's father, Bai Qihe.

Bai Qihe was stunned, looked up at Bai Qingyan, who had the same majesty and bearing as the king of the town, and lowered his eyes slightly and hugged his fist at Bai Qingyan.

Those who have experienced the battlefield and returned from the sea of corpses and blood, no matter how young they are, the killing edge on their bodies still cannot be concealed.

After all, the battlefield is the Shura field, and those who can't be ruthless can't return with their whole body.

The drizzle wet the surname Bai outside the door, and the hair and clothes of the Bai family in the ancestral hall, and the bluestone floor was dry except for the place where people were standing, and it was already wet, faintly reflecting the color of the lights.

"Today, there are many people who have been removed from the clan, and the patriarch has also been deposed, and the vitality of the Bai clan has been greatly damaged, but the clansmen must know that in addition to the old and the new, the big break can be great, and from now on, I hope that the whole Bai clan will remember the ancestral teachings of the Bai family, remember the heart of the Bai family to protect the people and love the people, stand upright, have a bright heart, and be an upright person who is worthy of the world."

The clan elders nodded one after another, not knowing whether they were forced by Bai Qingyan's prestige, or if they really agreed from the bottom of their hearts.

"When the Bai clan is waiting to push Chen Buxin, there must be no patriarch, and Bai Qihe will temporarily take the position of patriarch." Bai Qingyan looked at Bai Qihe, "Discuss everything with a few clan elders, wait for most of the Bai family to move back to Shuoyang, and then decide on the candidate for the trust patriarch!" Sometime...... Bai Qingyan has lived in Shuoyang for a long time, if he hears that the descendants of the Bai family bullied the surname Bai again, he will never be spared! And the people of the Bai clan must not help...... If a person is expelled for bullying the people, if he disobeys, the patriarch shall be severely punished. ”

After the things that should be done and the things that should be said are finished, Bai Qingyan saluted the clan elders and the surname Bai, handed over the rest of the matter to Bai Qihe to deal with, and left first.

Bai Qihe, who was standing in the drizzle, was stunned, he never thought that one day the position of the patriarch would "bang" and hit his head, but Bai Qingping reminded him that he came back to his senses.

On the carriage, Bai Jinzhi was unwilling, and as soon as he sat down, Bai Jinzhi said: "Why doesn't the eldest sister dispose of the patriarch's family?" That patriarch should be the whole family, why did the eldest sister let his son be the patriarch? There are other family members...... Their family is not without disregard for the family law of their ancestors, they should all be eliminated from the clan, so that the Bai family can be clean! ”

Bai Qingyan did not show favoritism this time, and rectified the clan with an iron fist, which seemed to be thunder, but it was true that not all of them were cut to the roots, at least every family left people, which made Bai Jinzhi extremely dissatisfied.
