Chapter 240: The Dispute over the Ancient Law of the Tang Sect

As Mrs. Tang's words fell, everyone present became excited.

"I'm old, and I can't afford to be the head of the Tang Sect."

Mrs. Tang slowly spoke, her eyes swept to everyone in the audience: "According to the rules of the Tang Sect, so today, from the third generation of the descendants of the Tang Sect, one person will be selected to serve as the new head of the sect." I don't know you, do you have any objections? ”

No one in the room spoke.

Obviously, everyone is acquiescing, and she, the Tang family, should also abdicate and make way for Xian.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Mrs. Tang looked around and continued to speak: "Since everyone has no objections, I don't know if there is a candidate for the head of the house in your hearts, and you recommend one or two." ”

This is also one of the processes, after all, this kind of thing, she is not easy to designate, and the successor is not easy to recommend herself, only outsiders nominate her, and then pretend to screen it and finally determine the position of the head.

In this way, the recommender has credit, and the recommended person will not forget his benefits after taking the helm.

This is the "unspoken rule" in the sect.

And the recommender, inevitably, is a person who needs to hold real power.

So at this moment, as soon as Mrs. Tang said this, everyone in the audience looked at each other, and one of the four helmsmen, an old man who looked the oldest and was about 70 years old, hugged his fists:

"Mother, I recommend Tang Qiqi. When Qiqi was managing the hotel, she managed and operated it moderately, showing her excellent management ability. I heard that a few days ago, she subdued a hundred years of poisonous clams, and from this point of view, there is no doubt about her cultivation.

And Qiqi, I grew up watching her grow up, and her conduct, I know best, and naturally it is also excellent. So, I recommend Qiqi. ”

His remarks are reasonable and well-founded, and the most important point is that they speak to the current situation.

So as soon as his voice fell, many people gave up their hands: "What the big shopkeeper said is very true." ”

"Yes."

After listening to the words of the big shopkeeper, Mrs. Tang also nodded and spoke: "What the boss said is right, but do you have any other candidates to recommend?" ”

Listening to Mrs. Tang's tone, this is obviously just a formality, after all, only one person is recommended, in terms of reason, it is unreasonable, there should be at least two candidates, and then eliminate one of them.

And Tang Qiqi's position as the head of the house should be decided.

Things moved to make sense, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Since it is to choose a candidate for elimination, it is natural to find a "soft persimmon" to pinch.

The few juniors present, who may be the receiver of the next helmsman, and the big shopkeeper is not easy to offend.

He swept his gaze and looked at Tang Jiu'er.

Tang Jiu'er, fatherless and motherless, is incompatible with the entire Tang Sect, who else is more suitable for this new head of the stepping stone?

Since the big shopkeeper is a "good person", it is natural that a "wicked person" is still needed.

So, among the four helmsmen, the four shopkeepers, that is, the five aunts, spoke.

She looked at Tang Jiu'er: "Jiu'er girl, she has been with her mother since she was a child, she has been taught, presumably, she has learned a lot of skills, I recommend her to be the second candidate." ”

Although she said this, there was a trace of coldness at the corner of her mouth.

As soon as she said this, she gave Tang Jiu'er a reason for the candidate - Mrs. Tang personally taught, and was able to step on Mrs. Tang by the way after Tang Qiqi took over the head - the person you personally taught was so wasteful?

As the saying goes, there is no father and son in the emperor's family, and the same is true of this great sect.

Although the fourth shopkeeper was born to Mrs. Tang, if it weren't for the fact that Tang Laosi, that is, Jiu'er's father, ran away from home in anger, the position of the shopkeeper would not have been her turn at all.

Mrs. Tang has always been not optimistic about this daughter, even if she takes over the fourth rudder, it is a remote place, compared to the other three rudders, it is a world of difference.

Therefore, in the hearts of the four shopkeepers, there has always been a resentment towards Mrs. Tang.

"Really?"

Mrs. Tang was expressionless and glanced at the four shopkeepers.

Being glared at by Mrs. Tang, the four shopkeepers suddenly felt a chill in their backs, and an inexplicable chill rose from the soles of their feet.

Her glance made the four shopkeepers feel an inexplicable fear and didn't dare to continue.

"Okay, since the fourth child proposed to let Jiu'er run for election, then Jiu'er, do you have anyone else to nominate you?" Mrs. Donald asked.

The four helmsmen looked at each other and shook their heads together.

"The candidates for the head of the family are tentatively Jiu'er and Qiqi. Next, let's compete. Mrs. Tang said slowly.

Competition?

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

Wasn't this quota set a long time ago for Tang Qiqi to be elected?

Why did you suddenly come up with such a competition?

"Hehe, second brother, I see, mother, I'm afraid I'm confused." At this time, the fourth shopkeeper was below, and he pretended to talk to the second brother next to him in a small voice, but it happened that this voice was heard by everyone again.

"That Jiu'er, whether it is the fourth brother's species or not, it is not certain, not to mention, it was born by that wild woman."

The voice of the fourth shopkeeper gradually became a little louder: "Over the years, this little girl, following her mother's side, must have used sweet words to make her mother happy, depending on what her mother meant, she really wants to give her a chance?" ”

The voice of the four shopkeepers reached everyone's ears, and naturally it also reached Mrs. Tang's ears.

Mrs. Tang looked at the four shopkeepers, put the jasper box in her hand on the table, gently put it, and said flatly: "Why, I, the head of the house, have not yet stepped down, and you are beginning to disagree?"

The head of the Tang family, after the candidate, the decision is in the hands of the head, and the competition is also one of the most fair selection methods in the past dynasties. Do you guys have any good decisions? ”

What she said was reasonable, and it was indeed reasonable.

"What about the two of you?" Mrs. Tang looked at Tang Qiqi and Tang Jiu'er.

Tang Qiqi didn't care, and gave his hand: "But it's up to grandmother to decide." ”

"Me too, but it's up to my grandmother to decide."

"Then it's decided."

Mrs. Tang stood up, took a bamboo cane from the side, and put it in her hand: "Last night, I thought about it, and selected five questions from my ancient Tangmen, a best-of-five system, and the winner is Tangmen, the new head." ”

As soon as she finished saying this, everyone waited quietly to listen to her next sentence.

At this moment, if Mrs. Tang had the slightest injustice and favored Tang Jiu'er, then everyone would probably directly overthrow her as the leader.

Mrs. Tang's gaze fell on the poisonous clam in Qiqi's palm, and she spoke: "The first question, insect control." This question, because before, Qiqi had already surrendered to the relationship of the hundred-year-old poisonous clam, and she was directly counted as winning. So Tang Qiqi won one game first. ”

After Mrs. Tang said this, everyone was satisfied.

The big shopkeeper asked, "Mother, what is the next question?" ”

"Next question, refining tools."

Mrs. Tang said: "Tangmen, with poison, insects, hidden weapons, and formations, these four things, are famous in the rivers and lakes, and what we compare today is these four ancient techniques." ”

What she said was fair and just, although the Tang Sect had lost too many ancient secret techniques, but these four things were the foundation of the Tang Sect after all.

Everyone thinks it's fair.
