Faced with Xiao Shirui's aggressive attitude, Xiao Shixiong smiled: "That's a good thing, the new account and the old account are counted together." ”

"I just don't know, who do you want to settle this account with?"

Xiao Shirui's words were full of accusations against him, how could he not hear it.

After speaking, Xiao Shixiong patted the carved dragon wooden couch under him: "Do you think that I am already old and confused, and it is time to give up the position of the head of the family?" ”

He said this lightly, but Xiao Shirui hurriedly took a step back, bowed his head and didn't dare to say it.

Xiao Chenfeng naturally couldn't afford the charge of disobedience, so he was so frightened that he knelt on one knee: "Father! ”

"Bang!"

Xiao Shixiong's crutches were heavy, Xiao Chenfeng's body trembled, and the hall was immediately so quiet that a needle could be heard.

"You still know I'm your father?"

"When did our Xiao family fall to the point of blindly protecting the shortcomings without asking about right and wrong!"

"Relying on your second uncle to support you, you acted recklessly and connived at your unsuccessful son to run rampant and oppress the township?"

"What is the difference between you doing this and those landlords and old wealth back then!"

Xiao Shixiong thundered and was furious, and everyone was suddenly silent.

He said this very seriously, the landlord Lao Cai was the target of raiding his house and parading the streets, and he was the culprit who forced their Xiao family to Liangshan. At this point, if anyone dares to question the head of the family in public, it is no longer as simple as an internal dispute.

Obviously, he wanted to force them to bow their heads.

But I couldn't help but shake my head secretly, if these words were said ten years ago, when Xiao Shixiong was still in charge of the family's life and death power, it might be useful, but in recent years, he let go of the business to his son to take care of, if his son and he are not of the same mind, then the fall of power is almost inevitable, and it is no wonder that some people are full of thoughts.

Sure enough, after a moment of silence in the field, Xiao Shirui opened his mouth.

"Would you rather believe the word of outsiders than your own children?"

"Huh?" Xiao Shixiong's leopard eyes were angry, and he looked at him coldly.

As soon as Xiao Shirui spoke, he became bolder: "There were dozens of people who testified about the situation that night, and besides, it is also a fact that Jianrong Dao was completely lost, how can this become a matter of ignoring right and wrong, blindly protecting the short?" I think it's this kid who wants to get by! ”

Xiao Shixiong was silent.

There was silence in the hall, and the atmosphere seemed to freeze.

However, no one stood up for him at this time.

Although this does not mean that there is no one here who is loyal to Xiao Shixiong, at least they can't figure it out.

Xiao Shixiong smiled, and his laughter was full of desolation and helplessness.

Then, he set his eyes on me.

I can see it very clearly, the current situation is no longer looking for me to settle accounts, it is clear that Xiao Shirui is taking the opportunity to force the palace!

If Xiao Shixiong continues to protect me, I must take the risk of completely losing the authority of the family, once I can't prove that what I said is true, as soon as the big hat of hurting people and robbing the treasure is buttoned down, not only will it be difficult for me to get out of here smoothly, but Xiao Shixiong, the head of the family, will definitely lose his prestige, even if he still relies on the position of the head of the family, I am afraid that not many people will listen to what he says.

I was not interested in getting involved in the power struggle within the Xiao family, even if the Xiao family turned their faces on the spot, I was sure to get out of the way.

But I can't do that right now.

Let's not talk about Xiao Shixiong's maintenance, if the Xiao family falls into the hands of people like Xiao Shirui and Xiao Chenfeng, who have no bottom line, not only Dongning will be in turmoil, but the decline of the Xiao family will become inevitable, not to mention that Dongning is in turmoil at this time, and it is not good for me to be in turmoil at this time, just for the trust of the ancestors of the Xiao family, I can't choose to stand by at this time.

But what do you call it?

I don't know if Xiao Shixiong's stubbornness is wrong, or if this profit-oriented world is wrong.

At this moment, reality actually forced him, the head of the family, to stand in the same boat as me, an outsider!

On the surface, this is a struggle for power and profit within the family, but if you think about it, is it not a conflict between the old school that adheres to principles and the new school that does whatever it takes for the sake of profit? And the situation is obvious, most of the Xiao family is biased towards the latter.

Can you blame him for smiling desolately?

is that this world is too cruel, and love and righteousness are so vulnerable in the face of interests.

I also smiled and nodded to Xiao Shixiong quietly.

Xiao Shixiong looked at his own son Xiao Chenfeng, who seemed to have low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, but chose not to say a word at this time, and asked calmly: "Xiaofeng, do you think the same as your second uncle?" ”

Xiao Chenfeng hesitated: "I ......"

Xiao Shirui coughed lightly, Xiao Chenfeng gritted his teeth and said: "I must seek justice for Jianrong, his injuries cannot be suffered in vain!" ”

Xiao Shixiong nodded with a smile: "Okay." ”

He turned to look at the others: "What do you think about this?" ”

There was silence below.

It's an awkward silence......

Suddenly, Third Uncle Xie in the second seat on the left stood up, stared at Xiao Shirui and said, "Right and wrong, feel free in the hearts of the people." If you can't believe what you say, then it's okay, bring those people up and let them confront Yang Lin face to face. ”

This third uncle Xie Shangbang's name, although he is not surnamed Xiao, he is also powerful in the Xiao family, and he is upright, and he has a reputation for trustworthiness and promise in Dongning, he is actually not Xiao Shixiong's henchman, but he can't see everyone persecuting Xiao Shixiong so much.

His proposal was also approved by the majority.

Soon, with a pale face and a languid expression, Xiao Jianrong, who was stubbled with a beard, and several Xiao family bandits who were present that night were brought in.

The so-called enemies are very red when they meet, and when Xiao Jianrong sees me, he roars like a rabid dog with rabies.

"Yang Lin, you bastard fuck you dare to come to my house, I'll fuck your mother......"

He roared and wanted to rush up and beat me, but unfortunately the Tao was abolished, his body was weak, and he didn't rush two steps before he was held down, he turned to howl at the top: "Dad, you killed this kid for me, he hurt me, hurt me ......"

Although Xiao Chenfeng was angry, he couldn't see his virtue: "Shut up!" Look what you look like! ”

"How did he hurt you, today you will make it clear in front of your eldest grandfather and second grandfather!"

Xiao Jianrong howled without thinking about it: "He robbed our business, I couldn't be angry, so I went to him to theorize, but this Wang Ba calf was not only unreasonable, but also took advantage of my unpreparedness to let his brother sneak attack me behind, not only hurt me, but also robbed our family's blood and fire sacrifice." ”

I have to say that Xiao Jianrong's appearance at this time is really pitiful, and his virtue of crying and howling is indeed miserable, causing everyone present to look at me angrily.

I couldn't help laughing, got up and walked in front of Xiao Jianrong, regardless of the age of the Xiao family, I raised my hand and patted him on the face: "Tsk, you kid, you have been so virtuous since you were a child, if you can't beat it, you can find your parents." ”

Xiao Jianrong was angry, shook his head violently, and raised his hand to beat me.

How could I let him fight, slap him high, and warn him: "Don't do it, your parents are watching from above, whoever makes the first move will be at the loss!" ”

Xiao Jianrong's mouth was crooked, but I don't know if I was used to it, or if he was dizzy and couldn't speak for a while.

I laughed and let go of him: "Come on, I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you, you decided on me today, didn't you?" ”

Xiao Jianrong actually nodded fiercely!

I laughed even harder and looked back at Xiao Chenfeng and Xiao Shirui.

"You see, your kid has confessed, and he just wants to lie to me."

Xiao Chenfeng's face is wonderful, and he looks helpless and hateful, I can't bear to see it.

Xiao Jianrong was anxious, and grabbed me by the collar: "You are so bad!" ”

"Poof......

Seeing that Xiao Jianrong was obviously led astray by me, and actually said such childish words, Xie Shangbang couldn't help laughing.

But the scheming Xiao Shirui is still watching from above, so naturally he won't let me take his children to the ditch.

"Get down to business!"

"Uh...... Okay, let's get down to business. Xiao Rong, calm down and get down to business! ”

Xiao Jianrong reluctantly loosened my collar, I straightened my clothes, and restrained my smile: "I'll ask you two things." ”

"First, according to what you said, I asked my junior brother to sneak attack you and abolish your Taoism, isn't it!"

Xiao Jianrong gritted his teeth in response; "Yes, that's you!"

I smiled and nodded.

"Second, I took advantage of your injury and forcibly robbed your Blood Fire Sacrifice, right?"

"Who else could it be, if it's not you!"

"Okay, this is a big court, your whole family is listening here, you won't turn your head and refuse to admit it, right?"

"Lao Tzu is the top beam of the sky, how can you not recognize it if you say it!"

He can't forget the stubble of the top beam until he dies.

I ignored him anymore and looked around the hall instead: "Everyone here, I think you have all heard clearly, this is in your Xiao family, and you are all much older than me Yang Lin, I, as a junior, will ask you a question, if the truth is really like what Xiao Jianrong said, what are you going to do with me?" ”

Xiao Chenfeng thought I was scared, and he thought that he was a junior, so that they couldn't pull their faces, so that they could give me a light haircut.

"My Xiao family has always had clear grievances, don't think that you can get away with it when you are young, why didn't you think about showing mercy to your subordinates when you hurt Jianrong? Let me tell you Yang Lin, even if you have a lotus tongue today, you have to give Jianrong an explanation! ”

I smiled and asked him, "What explanation?" ”

"Hand over the blood and fire sacrifice, go to the waste road, get out of Heilongjiang!"

"Ouch, there are really bear children who have bear parents, your son just asked me to get out of Dongning, and when I came to you, I was upgraded, and I was directly assigned out of the province?"

Xiao Chenfeng was furious when he heard this, and he was about to attack me as soon as his body moved.

Xiao Shirui stopped him and pretended to smile kindly: "Yang Lin, don't say that my Xiao family is bullying, so, as long as you are willing to admit your mistake and apologize to Jianrong, you can still stay." After all, you are also a native of Dongning, even if you make a mistake, my Xiao family will not force you to leave your hometown. ”

His words sounded mild, but in fact they were more vicious than Xiao Chenfeng's request.

If I dare to stay in Dongning if my Taoism is abolished, wouldn't that just give Xiao Jianrong the opportunity to play me to death?

Xiao Chenfeng finally left me a life, but this old man is going to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots!
