Chapter 373: It's too late to repent
That seat used to be sat by Bai Weiting when he returned to Shuoyang, but now he has to leave it to a girl.
Hearing the shouts of the merchants walking the streets and alleys outside the Bai ancestral hall, and the sound of naughty children chasing outside, the faces of the people of the clan were not good-looking.
What a majestic and solemn place outside the Bai ancestral hall, usually those untouchables didn't even dare to approach, but now that it's good, the gate has become a bazaar, and it is noisy and noisy.
"Looking at this posture, I'm afraid that half of the people of Shuoyang City will gather outside our ancestral hall!" The elder sighed.
The fifth master thought of him being driven out of the ancestral house, and said to Bai Qingyan that the fire in his heart became bigger and bigger, and he directly slapped the Bodhi Buddha bead in his hand on the small table beside him: "Indulge her!" It's just that big brother, you're too kind! ”
"Shut up!" The patriarch opened his eyes and pointed at the fifth master and scolded, "It's you who have the most things, if you don't occupy the ancestral house, Bai Qingyan comes back to ask for the deed, can you have the current thing?!" ”
As soon as the fifth master met his eldest brother's angry eyes, he shrunk his neck and softened his tone: "That's ...... Do you really want to exterminate all the children? ”
"I've already told you just now, it doesn't matter if you are in addition to the clan, we just help in secret, after all, what's wrong with us helping by blood! But...... If she is not satisfied with Bai Qingyan today, and makes trouble about her taking the Bai family to accuse her ancestors of asking her to leave the clan, then Lord Zhou's arrest of the children is just the beginning, and the bad luck of the clan is still to come! ”
The patriarch god looked at the dazzling sunlight outside the ancestral hall in a daze, and said: "As long as we are still in the Bai clan, we can still rely on the county lord of Zhenguo with the support of the prince, and then go to Lord Zhou to intercede in the future, and we can still speak, if Bai Qingyan is out of the clan, those in the officialdom who see the wind and rudder will not be able to trample our clan to death!" ”
The clan elders who had followed the patriarch to the capital city before nodded one after another, and none of them forgot the words of the eldest princess.
In the past, it was the Bai family in the capital city who held the position of the clan too high, and they tried the Bai family several times to make concessions, which made them unscrupulous.
Looking back now, some people have already reflected on themselves and realized that they were wrong, it was not that the clan was important to the Dadu Bai family, but that the Dadu Bai family valued the Bai clan...... The Bai clan is important, if most of the Bai family doesn't value the Bai clan, the Bai clan is nothing.
But there are also people like the patriarch's brother and the fifth master, who don't know how to be sober.
"Have you prepared the compensation silver, as well as the items that the children forcibly bought, and the property deeds of others?" The patriarch asked.
The clan elders nodded painfully.
The patriarch was a little relieved, she thought of Bai Qingyan coming back today and asked Bai Qingping, the patriarch looked back at the second son standing aside: "How is Ah Ping?" ”
Bai Qingping's father, Bai Qihe, hurriedly saluted: "That child has been kneeling solidly for the past few days, and he can't stand up at this time, his mother has already invited a doctor to see it." ”
The fifth old man glared at Bai Qihe, slandering Bai Qihe as useless, he knew what ancient books and bamboo slips he was cultivating over the years, and he couldn't even control his own son, so even Bai Qingping went to the government to sue his cousins, he didn't know what to do.
"I'm afraid that Bai Qingyan wants to see him in a while, you go and call him over, and you can't stand and sit next to me with a pestle." The patriarch frowned and said.
"Yes!" Only then did Bai Qihe step out of the threshold of the ancestral hall and instructed the little guy who was waiting in the courtyard of the ancestral hall to go back and find a way to bring Bai Qingping over.
A man standing on a tree saw Lord Zhou and his party coming from afar, and shouted, "It's coming!" Here it comes! ”
Soon, Shen Qingzhu and Bai Jinzhi, as well as Quan Yu and Lord Zhou, held the case files and brought the twenty-one members of the Bai family clan who were pressed by the officials to the Bai ancestral hall.
These days, the heirs of the Bai clan have lived a very miserable life in prison because they have not been greeted and taken care of by Lord Zhou.
Bai Qingjie was pressed to walk in the first place, completely without the arrogance in front of Bai Qingyan.
After being imprisoned these days, Bai Qingjie finally came to his senses.
He has been accustomed to being too ignorant by his grandfather and father over the years, and when he saw that his grandfather occupied the ancestral house of the fifth cousin, he listened to his grandfather again...... Most of the orphans and widows of the Bai family will have to rely on the clan in the future, even if Bai Qingyan is named the county lord, she is also the daughter of the clan, she still has to listen to the words of the clan elders obediently, and he believes it.
There are still rumors in the clan, saying that Bai Qingyan also swore not to marry in this life, and in the future, he will rely on the clan to support the elderly, and the grandfather of Wutang will occupy the ancestral house of the Yanzhi branch...... Bai Qingyan didn't dare to let out a fart.
When Bai Qingjie saw that his grandfather did not refute the words of his grandfather Wutang and the elders of various clans, he was even more convinced, so he became more and more unscrupulous in Shuoyang City.
But these days, he was imprisoned, sat with a few cousins and thought about it, and remembered what Bai Qing said to them on weekdays, and suddenly realized.
Therefore, the Zhou County Order befriended his father, not for their Shuoyang Bai clan, but for the Bai family in the capital!
Therefore, after Bai Qingyan ordered Zhou County Order to arrest them, Zhou County Order suddenly turned his face with Bai Qiyun, and he didn't even see Bai Qiyun.
To put it bluntly, there is no Bai family...... They Shuoyang Bai are nothing.
Because the five masters of the Shuoyang Bai clan gradually did not take the Dadu Bai clan in their eyes, they were arrogant and accumulating wealth, and because of the acquiescence and connivance of the patriarch, they all felt that the Dadu Bai family had to respect the clan and did not dare to offend the clan.
This kind of subtle influence is the most terrifying, just like a drop of ink falling into a clean and clear basin of water, and then this kind of fatal self-righteousness will affect the entire clan at an extremely fast speed.
Now it's too late to regret it.
He remembered that he had heard that foreign merchants had entered the city, and that Bai Qingyan had no mercy in cleaning up the Bai family's concubines who had deceived the people on the long street of the capital, and that day Bai Qingyan swore that day that if the patriarch did not agree to remove their errant heirs, she would take the Bai family to accuse the ancestors of leaving the clan.
Bai Qingjie knew that the heirs of their clan who had made mistakes would definitely be expelled today, even if he was the patriarch's own grandson.
He believed that after Bai Qingyan's trouble, his grandfather must have clearly realized that most of the Bai family was not a clan that could be offended, so Bai Qingyan would leave the clan...... The Bai clan is finished.
In addition to being expelled from the clan, he also bears human life, and whether he lives or not is two words!
Thinking of this, Bai Qingjie's legs became weak, and he was pressed into the gate of the clan ancestral hall under the angry eyes of the people.
The ancestral hall of the Bai clan was not allowed to enter except for the surname Bai, and Lord Zhou pressed people into the courtyard, and the patriarch hurriedly greeted him.
