Chapter 79: The Praying Mantis Catches the Cicada and the Yellow Sparrow Follows
In the City Lord's Mansion, Liu Hongyi had already known the news that Zhao Wuwu had been taken away. You don't have to guess to know that it must have been instructed by Mu Baili. Let's ask who dares to do it in Jinling City, but Namu Baili - they are all from the capital, and they must have something on their backs.
However, as long as Zhao Wuwu didn't come out to interfere in the affairs of Seven Star Villa, there would be no surprises.
The second prince arrived as promised and entered the city lord's mansion through the back door.
In the study, Liu Hongyi's face was not very good-looking, probably because he didn't sleep well last night.
When the second son came, Liu Hongyi was sitting there motionless with one hand on his forehead, with a slight headache.
"See the city lord!" The second son saluted respectfully.
Tianlei went out, quickly closed the door, and guarded outside.
Liu Hongyi didn't look up, just waved his hand, "Sit down!" β
"Thank you, City Lord!" The second prince sat down, stretched out his hand and took out a piece of paper from his arms, "The land that the city lord wants, the title deed is here." Whatever the city lord wants, we can do our best to meet it. β
Hearing this, Liu Hongyi sighed lightly and raised his head, "The second son is polite." β
"As long as it is what the city lord thinks, our Song family can do it as much as possible. I'm here today just to hope that the city lord will make good on his promise. The second prince got up and said, "This Zhong Haotian is no longer the Song family, but he still wants to occupy the magpie's nest, and when I am the lord of the Seven Star Villa, it is really hateful, and I hope that the city lord can uphold justice." β
Liu Hongyi stared at him, "What do I want, don't you know?" β
The second prince said, "I did - I didn't find the secret passage, but don't worry, the city lord, I will definitely continue to search." If I can become the owner of the Seven Star Villa, this Seven Star Villa and the City Lord's Mansion will definitely cooperate happily, and no matter what the city lord wants to do, the Seven Star Villa will be at his disposal. β
"Good!" Liu Hongyi got up, "When did you find the secret passage, when will you come and tell me the conditions." β
The second son stepped forward and presented the title deed with both hands, "A little respect, I hope the city lord can accept it with a smile." β
Liu Hongyi rubbed his eyebrows and closed his eyes, "Let it go!" β
Seeing that Liu Hongyi didn't seem to be much interested, the second son's face was not too good-looking, "Did the city lord encounter something troublesome?" Is there anything Seven Star Villa can help with? β
"Nothing." Liu Hongyi sighed lightly, "The second son has a heart, and I understand it." The position of the owner of the Seven Star Villa is an internal event of your Seven Star Villa, so the imperial court will not interfere. You know what I mean? β
The second prince was overjoyed, "Thank you city lord." β
As long as the imperial court does not interfere, as long as Zhao Wuwu does not help Zhong Haotian, then the matter of Seven Star Villa is an internal conflict in the family, as long as it is dealt with internally. None of the Song family liked Zhong Haotian, after all, he, the expelled person, still bore the filthy name of the fourth lady.
If the internal meeting of the Song clan is reconvened, it will definitely be able to seize Zhong Haotian's position as the successor to the head of the village.
Thinking of this, the second son is happy from his heart.
With Liu Hongyi's promise, this matter has become much simpler.
The second son got Liu Hongyi's promise, so he naturally left happily, seeing that the position of the owner of the village was already in his pocket.
At the back door of the city lord's mansion, the carriage gradually moved away.
Su Xi wore a hat on his head, stood without temperature, clenched the cold sword in his hand, hooked his lips and smiled coldly. Sure enough, this sack was poked out of it, and there were people inside the Seven Star Villa who wanted to seize the position of the owner, so there was such a trouble.
It was a pity for the old owner, who had a good life during his lifetime, but when he was dying, he got such an end.
Su Xi turned around and left, found a gap and quietly entered the Seven Star Villa.
The coffin of the old owner was placed in the main hall, and Zhong Haotian was filial and guarded alone in the mourning hall. Even though the old owner of the village has died and the succession ceremony has been delayed, Zhong Haotian, who is only missing the final handover ceremony, seems to be a new owner in the eyes of everyone in Seven Star Villa.
walked to the coffin, looked at his father who was lying quietly inside, and Zhao Wuwu's sentence was in his mind: The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, and the son wants to be filial but does not wait.
After all, it is a prophecy, and now it is really a son who wants filial piety and does not wait for his relatives.
Standing there, Zhong Haotian's eyes were dark, staring intently at Song Gu, who had closed his eyes forever.
When he was alive, he was so stubborn that he did not hesitate to speak ill of him. Now I regret it, but there is no chance to make up for it. The father and son have spent their whole lives in guilt and regret, and they actually said goodbye in this way, I have to say that creation makes people.
It is clear that he can bear the joy on his knees, but he ends up on different sides of the world, and it is too late to regret it.
"So, time doesn't treat people, Childe is right." Su Xi walked in from outside, "I regret it now, but I don't have a chance." β
Seeing Su Xi, Zhong Haotian was stunned at first, and then subconsciously pinched the edge of the coffin, "Why are you here?" Aren't you afraid of being caught by them? β
"If you could catch me, I wouldn't be here." Su Xi smiled coldly, "A bunch of wine bags and rice bags, hum - I don't care about it yet." This Seven Star Villa is now in danger for everyone, and if you want to be negligent, you can enter if you want to, and you can go out if you want to. What is the first village in Jinling, but Erer. β
"Say whatever you want." Zhong Haotian looked at her, "Is there something wrong with Lord Zhao?" β
Su Xi raised her lips and sneered, "Childe is far-sighted, how can a mere cage trap trap her." Liu Hongyi is something, and he dares to move his son, and he is completely self-defeating. After that, she stepped forward and threw a small cloth bag to Zhong Haotian, "This is given to you by Gongzi, and the next thing depends on you." β
"Lord Zhao is okay, right?" Zhong Haotian clenched the small bag in his hand, there was something in it, it seemed to be hard, but he didn't know what it was.
"Don't worry, Childe will be fine, but you have to be careful. The second son teamed up with the Song family, and also had contact with the city lord Liu Hongyi, but he was afraid that the purpose behind it was not pure. Su Xi clenched the cold sword in his hand, "Your position as the owner of the village is already crumbling." β
"I have never been the owner of the village, if I knew that the position of the owner of the village would force my father to death, I would rather not." Zhong Haotian cut his teeth.
"That's premature." Su Xi brought a hat, "Since your father left you the position of the owner, there must be some consideration." Even if it's for your father, you should be in charge of this Seven Star Villa. Otherwise, Seven Star Villa falls into the hands of those who have a heart, and your father's life's work will be in vain. Can you bear to see such a result? Your father is dead, and people can't be resurrected after death, what you should do is to inherit your father's last wish and revitalize the Seven Star Villa. β
"Also, find out who killed your father. I believe that among these candidates vying for the position of the owner, there must be some real murderers. Don't you want to find the real culprit and avenge your father? β
Zhong Haotian clenched the things in his hand, "How can you not avenge the revenge of killing your father." β
"Ambitious." Su Xi walked out, "Zhong Haotian, fight for your own things, no one sympathizes with the weak, only the strong who are attached." When the sound fell, she jumped lightly and disappeared into the Seven Star Villa.
Suxi comes and goes quickly.
In the blink of an eye, it disappeared like the wind, as if it had never been.
Looking at the small cloth bag in his palm with low eyebrows, when he opened it, Zhong Haotian was stunned on the spot. He suddenly understood what Su Xi Fangcai's words meant. The fists were clenched, and the emotions were high to a certain extent.
Taking a deep breath, Zhong Haotian knelt in the mourning hall and kowtowed respectfully to the coffin, "Dad, I will definitely find out the truth and avenge you." This Seven Star Villaβ" he closed his eyebrows again, "Haotian will carry it for you, and it will definitely live up to my father's expectations." β
After the second son returned, things began to progress.
Zhong Haotian was still guarding the mourning hall, but a large number of guards quickly surrounded the mourning hall, and then the eldest prince and the second prince walked in side by side. glanced at Zhong Haotian who was kneeling in front of the spirit, his eyes were sharp, and his expression almost wanted to eat people.
"What do you want to do? What kind of place is this, and dare to break in? Zhong Haotian was cold, "Get out!" β
"Zhong Haotian, what qualifications do you have to stay here?" The eldest prince sneered, "You are not a descendant of the Song family, but you are also a person who was rejected by your father and expelled from the Seven Star Villa, and you still have the face to kneel here today?" The one who should get out of here, I'm afraid it's you! β
Zhong Haotian instantly understood that they were here to swear sovereignty and hurriedly wanted to kick his father out before his funeral. You must know that as soon as the old owner dies, the successor owner must personally preside over the funeral of the old owner, so as to announce the legitimacy of the successor owner to the world.
His heart was extremely cold, Zhong Haotian coldly swept over everyone present, "Dad just died, and the bones are not cold, are you so anxious to take the position of the owner?" What about your conscience? β
But when I think about it, too, it seems that not everyone has such a thing as conscience.
Zhong Haotian lowered his head and sneered, he was really stupid enough to ask people if they had a conscience. Isn't it obvious that my father came to seize the throne before his bones were cold?
"Hmph, you are not a member of the Song family in the first place, what are you talking about as the owner?" The eldest prince sneered, "Zhong Haotian, your surname is Zhong, not Song." β
"Am I scolding you for being a pig and a dog, are you really a beast?" Zhong Haotian straightened up, "You guys are surnamed Song, but so what?" It was me, not you, who ascended the succession ceremony that day. The heroes of the world are obvious to all, how can you be allowed to reverse black and white. β
"It's not certain whether Dad's death has anything to do with you, you don't have to pose as the owner here." The second son is really where it hurts, every word.
Zhong Haotian took a deep breath, "Dad's death, I will definitely find out." No matter who does it to my father, I will never let it go. β
The sharp eyes slashed at the people in front of them, and the guards looked at each other, not knowing whether to advance or fade, or to be in a dilemma.
Obviously, this is an internal war, for nothing more than the position of the owner. If you stand on the wrong camp, you may be defeated, and you don't know how to die when the time comes, so everyone doesn't know who to help.
The eldest son has good martial arts, the second son has a high reputation, and these five sons are the rightful successor owners.
"Don't talk nonsense, you and that Zhao Wuwu must be in the same group, Dad will die after seeing you, you dare to say that it has nothing to do with you. Zhong Haotian, you don't pretend here, maybe your father was killed by you, and you are still here to catch a thief. The eldest prince gritted his teeth, "Zhong Haotian, you get out of the Seven Star Villa for me, and from now on, I am not allowed to step into the Seven Star Villa for half a step." β
"If you tell me to get out, I'm going to get out? Why? Zhong Haotian took a deep breath, "This is Daddy's mourning hall, you are not allowed to be presumptuous." When the voice fell, he suddenly exerted his strength, and in an instant, the wind swept the clouds, which was like a force that destroyed and withered, and forced everyone back.
Everyone took a few steps back, and the powerful internal strength was so strong that people couldn't get close.
The eldest prince and the second prince did not guard against Zhong Haotian's sudden force, so they were careless for a while, and they also retreated again and again. When the scene was horrified, he couldn't wait to tear Zhong Haotian to pieces.
Zhong Haotian walked out of the mourning hall unhurriedly, stood with his hands in his hands, and stood in front of everyone with his head held high. That proud posture is like the reincarnation of the old owner, and he is very proud.
"Who dares to be presumptuous in front of my father's spirit today, don't blame me for disregarding my feelings and going on a killing spree." Zhong Haotian was expressionless, his eyes were fierce, "If you don't believe it, just step forward." I will leave these words here, and who will come up? β
"Zhong Haotian!" The eldest prince drank coldly, "You dare!" β
"Want to try it?" Zhong Haotian's martial arts, they have been taught. In the ring competition that day, they were all defeated by Zhong Haotian's subordinates. Now, the generals of the defeated army are not brave enough to speak, and who dares to step forward and be embarrassed.
The eldest son and the second son glanced at each other, and seemed to have some scruples.
"Bastard!" The owner's wife walked quickly, "I don't want to see what kind of place this is, how can you be allowed to act recklessly!" The bones of the owner are not cold, but you are killing each other here. The owner has a spirit in the sky, and he is afraid that he will die without turning a blind eye! β
Seeing that it was the owner's wife coming, all the guards bowed their heads to the side and did not dare to step forward again.
Taking a deep breath, the owner's wife said, "In front of the owner's spirit, cultivate presumptuously!" Today, in front of everyone, I might as well say a fair word. Zhong Haotian, I don't care what happened at the beginning, and I don't care if your surname is Zhong or Song, I only know that in the succession ceremony that day, you didn't get the wrench to show the identity of the owner, that is to say, although your name as the owner of the village is correct, your words are not correct. β
Zhong Haotian knew that this woman's fight was not so simple from the beginning. Now he is saying a lot of nonsense here, just to deny his inheritance to the owner.
In the end, it's just for her own son.
"Dare to ask Madame, if I don't get the wrench, will no one recognize me as the owner of the village?" Zhong Haotian asked.
"That's right!" The owner's wife replied.
Zhong Haotian sneered, "What if no one has a finger?" Then the position of the owner of the village has been vacant? β
"Then I have to ask the meaning of the Song family." The owner's wife smiled coldly, "In order to show justice, I will invite the Song family, those famous and promising people to come and decide who should be given the position of the owner of the Seven Star Villa." Zhong Haotian, what do you think? β
"The owner's wife has already made a decision, and she still asks me what to do?" Zhong Haotian took a deep breath, "But it's okay like this, lest everyone say that my name is not right." It's just that I dare to ask, if the Song family chooses me, will the owner's wife leave the Seven Star Villa with her son? β
"That's nature." In front of everyone, the owner's wife deserves to be categorical, "I am not your biological mother, so naturally I am not qualified to stay in this Seven Star Villa and live with you." Of course, the premise is that you have to become the owner of this Seven Star Villa. Zhong Haotian, what do you say? β
"Good!" Zhong Haotian promised, "Then I want to see how fair the so-called justice is." β
"I will ask City Lord Liu to be the master, and the heroes of the world will be the witness, and it will be fair and just." The owner's wife turned and left.
Zhong Haotian narrowed his eyes and looked at the people who came and left. The hustle and bustle of Fang Cai is calm down at the moment.
Taking a deep breath, Zhong Haotian sat on the steps, his eyes were cold, "Hmph, Dad, is this the good son you raised, your good lady?" Why didn't you see clearly in the past, these wolf ambitions were just for glory and wealth! β
"Let us share in prosperity and hardship, and not in adversity, and that is not it. Look at the faces of these people, hmph, it's really ugly! Dad, you have a spirit in the sky, take a good look at it clearly. Though I have not been raised at my father's knees, I will fight for thee today. Since you have entrusted this Seven Star Villa to me, I will guard it well. β
"My mother said that only when I keep my own things can I count as a man's ability. Daddy - did you meet? My mother has been waiting for you, but when I was alive, I couldn't survive my own level, and now that I'm down, I can be relieved of everything. β
Behind him, a cool voice came, "What can you do if you see clearly?" This world is much uglier than that, can you finish fighting? This family is just a personal matter, if it is on the battlefield, it is the family and the country. Huh, what's so sentimental? β
Zhong Haotian lowered his eyes and smiled desolately.
Home and country?
In the end, there is a home first, and then a country? Or do you have a country first and then a home?
sighed lightly, and finally felt a lot of emotion.
Soon, the owner's wife found the relatives of the Song family, and in front of the heroes of the world, invited the city lord Liu Hongyi to personally preside over the resolution. Originally, the Song family was indignant at Zhao Wuwu's coercion and temptation, and was extremely reluctant to let Zhong Haotian serve as the owner of Seven Star Villa, but at that time, they were afraid of Zhao Wuwu's status and had to support Zhong Haotian to succeed as the owner.
Now it's a good thing, everything is overturned, and there is no Zhao Wuwu present, so this seemingly fair and just resolution is actually held to veto Zhong Haotian's position as the owner.
The people of the Song family were naturally triumphant, and without the threat of Zhao Wuwu, they could arbitrarily expel Zhong Haotian from the Seven Star Villa. Nothing to fear, to the best of his ability.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the old owner died violently, and now that this matter is handed over to the imperial court for handling, we believe that the city owner will definitely return the old owner a fair and just way. But there are no two days, one mountain does not allow two tigers, and this seven-star villa has no leader, which is really not good. The owner's wife stood in the ring, her face expressionless and extremely serious, "That's why today, we are here to re-select the owner's person." β
"When the old owner went, he never handed over the wrench representing the successor owner to Zhong Haotian, which means that the old owner actually didn't want to pass on the fifth son from the bottom of his heart. And now, in the hands of the fifth prince, there is indeed no wrench as evidence. Seven Star Villa belongs to the Song family, that is to say, now the relatives of the Song family have to choose the right owner. β
"Today, in front of all of you, let's not say anything, let's let the Song family's relatives vote. If the fifth prince can still be at the top of the list, even if the owner of the village does not have a finger as proof, we are convinced. β
The people below began to talk about it, and what they said earlier was good about the martial arts election, but now it suddenly changed the direction of the wind and became an anthology.
The owner of the village that was originally set is going to change his hexagram today, and it is inevitable that the hearts of the people under the sect will fluctuate.
But the owner's wife also said that this is the Song family's Seven Star Villa, which means that this is an internal incident of the Song family, and the heroes of the world are just witnessing!
That being the case, outsiders are naturally not easy to mix with other people's housework, so just hold the idea of watching the excitement and watch it slowly. What's more, there is Liu Hongyi, the city lord of Jinling City, who is in the town, so no one dares to shout easily.
The sons of the Song family walked slowly onto the stage, one person and one stool sat in a row.
It's a simple vote, but it's just a formality! What the ending is, everyone knows very well in their hearts. It is impossible for the people of the Song family to vote for Zhong Haotian.
So in the end, Zhong Haotian only got a very small number of votes.
The patriarch was still sitting there, watching everyone vote, but he still sat where he was and didn't make a choice.
"Patriarch?" The owner's wife looked at him, "Who do you choose?" β
The patriarch sighed lightly, got up and bowed towards Liu Hongyi, and then turned around and bowed to the group of heroes below, "Everyone, as the patriarch of the Song clan, I think there are some things that should be said." For Zhong Haotian, I do have some rejection. However, I have to admit that he is indeed better than the sons of the Song family in his essay and martial arts. β
The owner's wife frowned, and the eldest son and the second son were also stunned for a long time.
What does this mean, patriarch?
Zhong Haotian looked at him, his face slightly sick.
"The Seven Star Villa belongs to the Song family, but the Seven Star Villa is also the lifelong effort of the old owner Song Gu, as the patriarch of the Song family, I don't want the Song family to suffer losses or make wrong decisions because of my own selfishness." The patriarch stood there and let out a long breath, "Whether I am the patriarch of the Song family or an ordinary person, I think I am worthy of this decision." β
After speaking, he walked slowly towards Zhong Haotian, handed the wooden card in his hand to Zhong Haotian, and then smiled with relief, "I hope you can live up to expectations, can afford the mountain of Seven Star Villa, and don't let your father down." β
Not to mention Zhong Haotian, everyone didn't expect that the patriarch would suddenly make such a decision.
You must know that the one who opposed Zhong Haotian to inherit the position of the owner of the village was the patriarch the most, but now he is ...... In front of so many people, he was the first to stand up and support him.
Zhong Haotian was stunned, and he couldn't come back to his senses at the moment.
In the end, the patriarch directly stuffed the wooden card into Zhong Haotian's hand, "What are you still stunned for, it should be yours, you have to continue." Do you want your father to die under Jiuquan? β
Zhong Haotian stretched out his hand to take it, "Thank you." β
"Don't thank me, thank your father!" The patriarch turned back to his place.
"Patriarch, what do you mean by that?" The Song clan naturally didn't understand what was going on.
The patriarch sighed lightly, "Song Gu has been in charge of the Seven Star Mountain Villa for many years, and I believe in his vision. The successors he chooses for himself must have his merits. I have also observed these days, Zhong Haotian really can't find anything wrong except for his surname Zhong. In that case, why not give young people a chance? This Seven Star Villa also needs new blood injection to regain its glory. β
"Zhong Haotian's martial arts are extremely high, and he has done it. And he didn't play tricks to win the fair. Our ancestor of the Song family is a Beijing official, how can we fall into the tongue of others, and teach outsiders to laugh at us, we can't afford to lose. β
said something that made the Song family red-faced.
I can't afford to lose, I really can't afford to lose!
The owner's wife had a cold face and walked slowly to the patriarch, "When did the patriarch make such a choice?" β
"When? It was such a choice from the beginning, but Madame never knew it! The patriarch looked cold, "Madam, people are watching the sky, and the cycle of cause and effect will eventually be rewarded." The reputation of Seven Star Villa is because of Song Gu's chivalrous heart and chivalrous benevolence. Now you have gone back on your word, repeatedly coveted the position of the owner, and played tricks and maneuvers, which is really disgraceful. β
"I believe that Song Gu is in the spirit of the sky, and I don't want to see my wife and children, for the position of the owner of the village, I will leave behind the most basic etiquette, righteousness and shame of being a man."
Someone at the bottom applauded, and this remark made the owner's wife's face turn very white. In front of everyone, she couldn't attack the patriarch, so she could only barely press it down.
I thought that the patriarch's fierce opposition at the beginning would now be able to drive Zhong Haotian out, but I didn't expect the patriarch to turn against the water in front of the public, which made their mother and son extremely embarrassed at the moment.
In front of everyone's eyes, face was lost.
"The owner's wrench has been lost, and now according to the number of votes, Zhong Haotian can't be the owner of this Seven Star Villa." The owner's wife sneered twice, "Everyone is here, then let's nominate the owner according to the number of votes!" β
"Dare to ask Madame, where did you lose this wrench?" Zhong Haotian asked.
The owner's wife said, "I don't know. β
"Is it really unknown or hidden? Just to kick me out? Zhong Haotian got up and walked towards the owner's wife step by step.
The second son got up quickly, "What do you want to do?" Zhong Haotian, I warn you, you'd better not mess around. β
"What can I do?" Zhong Haotian sneered, "I just want to ask clearly, why did the owner's wife insist that she lost her wrench?" If the owner's wife hid and deliberately wanted to drive me out of the Seven Star Villa, wouldn't I be unjustly panicked? β
"What nonsense are you talking about?" The owner's wife gritted her teeth, "How could I hide my wrench, Zhong Haotian, you don't spew blood." β
"Then dare to ask the owner's wife, why did the things my father carry with him disappear after he died? Why are you blocking the news that he is dead? What exactly were you doing during this time? Are you destroying the evidence or are you searching for a wrench, preparing to slander the court officials, and dealing with me? "Zhong Haotian is aggressive.
The owner's wife was cold, "Bastard, can you say this nonsense?" The owner of the village was killed, isn't it your collusion? You're trying to take the position of the owner, soβ"
"I've already got the position of the owner, why bother to kill?" Zhong Haotian interrupted her, "Madame's words are not right, let's think clearly!" lest you leak your mouth in front of everyone! β
When the sound fell, the owner's wife was dumbfounded.
"Zhong Haotian!" The second son gritted his teeth, "You still dare to talk nonsense!" β
"I'm not talking nonsense, let's talk with evidence." Zhong Haotian stood up straight, "Everyone, in front of City Lord Liu today, let's make it clear." There is no doubt that my father will succeed me as the owner, and his wrench is also left to me, so there is no such thing as not being able to find the wrench. The lady of the owner and the sons of the village did this just to drive me out of the Seven Star Villa, so that the lady's son could inherit the Seven Star Villa. β
"I, Zhong Haotian, have no intention of competing for the position of the owner, but I have been forced to this position, and I have to fight. Madame said earlier that if I succeed the owner of the village, you will leave with your son, and then I will fulfill you. If you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust, right and wrong, in the end, there will always be a decision. Chamberlain! β
Zhong Haotian shouted, and the housekeeper slowly came up from the stage, holding a tray in his hand, which seemed to have something on it, but it was covered with a red cloth, and it was impossible to get a glimpse of it.
The patriarch frowned, "What's going on?" β
"I hope the patriarch will uphold justice!" Zhong Haotian leaned over.
The housekeeper bowed to everyone, and then said respectfully to the patriarch, "This is what the old owner left to the fifth prince, and now all the relatives are here, in front of the heroes of the world, the old slave has to convey the words of the owner clearly." β
"The owner of the village was seriously ill that day, and he knew that he might not be able to participate in the succession ceremony of the new owner, so he made arrangements early and asked the old slave to put away the wrench early. The old slave got something, did not dare to slack off, and only waited for the succession ceremony to complete the owner's order. β
"Who knew that such a thing happened that day, the owner of the farm was killed, and the succession ceremony was also interrupted, so the wife of the owner did not find the wrench just because the wrench was in the hands of the old slave. The owner of the village had long expected that once he had a good deal, the lady and the sons would definitely attack the fifth son. β
Now, it was really in response to the old owner's expectations, and the old slave had no choice but to take out the wrench in front of everyone to set the record straight. The fifth son, Zhong Haotian, is the successor owner personally selected by the old owner, and he just asks you to be a witness. β
After speaking, the housekeeper knelt down in front of the patriarch respectfully, "Patriarch, please!" β
The patriarch was stunned for a moment, and quickly stepped forward to lift the red cloth, which was a delicate brocade box. The patriarch's hand trembled a little, and the brocade box was opened in front of everyone, and the gold-inlaid jade wrench was completely presented in front of everyone.
The Song clan stepped forward to confirm whether it was genuine, and when it was determined that it was undoubtedly the owner's token, they all shut up and didn't dare to say anything more.
So a premeditated vote was finally reversed by Zhong Haotian as the final step of the succession ceremony. This point was beyond everyone's expectations, and Liu Hongyi was stunned for a while.
Carefully planned, but I didn't expect it to fall short?
No! How could this be?
If so, then he ......
