Maple Leaf City, the scenery in the city is not much different from half a moon ago, but this maple leaf seems to be a little more prosperous, and the rising sun looks gorgeous on it.

In the past half a month, there have been many stories in Maple Leaf City, and the people in the city have something to talk about after dinner.

First, the only son of Zheng Yi, the head of the Zheng family, was assassinated in the Zheng family, and he disappeared, and there is a high probability that he will lose his life.

Later, it was the dispute between the head of the Zheng family, and I heard that it was the great elder of the Zheng family who invited the old people of the Zheng family out and wanted to re-elect the head of the family, which was a big deal.

News is flying around the city, and there are all kinds of theories.

In the Zheng family, in the courtyard where Zheng Qiao's father and son are located, the two of them got up abnormally early, changed into new clothes under the service of the servants at home, and the smile on their faces never diminished.

In another room, Zheng Yi sat on a wooden chair, holding a jade pendant in his hand, and his eyes were full of sadness.

He looked sluggish, his hair seemed to have not been cleaned for a long time, he looked messy, and the clothes on his body were wrinkled.

Zheng Yi has been living like a year for half a month, Zheng Xiaoyao's disappearance made him extremely worried, and after returning home, he sent the clansmen at home to look for him, but there is still no news.

Now that half a month has passed, I'm afraid my son has already lost his life, so let my father help you find justice.

After today, my father is no longer the head of the Zheng family, and my father will go to avenge you, no matter who sends the killer behind me, I will kill him and bury him for you.

The door was pushed open, and the figure of Li'er walked in, looking at Zheng Yi's appearance, understanding that he hadn't slept all night, he stepped forward and put the white porridge in his hand on the table.

Hearing the voice, Zheng Yi came back to his senses, raised his head and saw Li'er, showing a smile.

"Li'er, you're here. ”

Zheng Li'er looked at Zheng Yi's appearance, felt a little uncomfortable, and spoke out to persuade Zheng Yi.

"Uncle Zheng, Brother Xiaoyao will definitely be fine, I believe him. ”

Listening to Zheng Li'er's words, the sadness in Zheng Yi's heart was reduced a little, she put away the sadness on her face, showed a bit of love, and reached out to pull Zheng Li'er's hand over.

"Uncle Zheng is fine, I believe that Xiaoyao will definitely survive. ”

put the jade pendant in his hand into Zheng Li'er's hand, and saw that Zheng Li'er wanted to return it, so he grabbed his hand with force.

"Take it, Uncle Zheng is leaving, and there is nothing else to give you, this jade pendant was left by Xiaoyao's mother, take it." ”

This jade pendant looks ordinary, but in fact, it is a rare ground-level high-grade spiritual weapon, which can be activated to protect the target by itself when it encounters danger, and the aura required is usually absorbed and stored by itself, and does not need to be input by the holder.

Zheng Yi handed over the jade pendant to Zheng Li'er for this reason.

will not be able to break free, Zheng Li'er has no choice but to accept it, according to Zheng Yi's words, hang the jade pendant around her neck, and put it close to her body.

As if thinking of something, Zheng Li'er reacted, and a trace of sadness appeared in her eyes.

"Uncle Zheng, are you leaving the Zheng family?"

Zheng Yi drank a few sips of the white porridge in his hand, turned to look at Li'er, and said softly: "Li'er, after the head of the family is dismissed today, I will leave." ”

"Uncle Zheng, I want to go with you to find Brother Xiaoyao. ”

Zheng Li'er didn't think about it, and blurted out, looking at Zheng Yi with two eyebrows, full of pleading.

Zheng Li'er is actually not a member of the Zheng family, he was abandoned outside the door of the Zheng Mansion, and then picked up by a side clan member of the Zheng Mansion, named Li'er, poor child.

When he was young, because of his weak personality, he was often bullied by others, and Zheng Xiaoyao was the one who protected him, after Zheng Xiaoyao was six years old, he was taken away by the people of the Sword Sect, Zheng Li'er was sad for a long time and cried non-stop.

In the past five years, the little girl has gradually grown up, and she is beautiful, but her thoughts as a child have become more and more intense, and in these five years, her adoptive mother also died of illness and went to find her husband, and Zheng Li'er was completely helpless.

also became the object of others' play, once when he was bullied, Zheng Yi happened to pass by, saw Zheng Li'er, felt pity in his heart, and was a friend of Zheng Xiaoyao before, so he rescued him and protected the girl in this Zheng mansion.

A few years later, Zheng Xiaoyao was sent back to his home and lost his reputation as a genius, although everyone did not explain, but the eyes of the children in the family were full of abuse and lost their previous respect.

Only Zheng Li'er is still the same as a few years ago, treating her as before, screaming one by one, and she doesn't look down on Zheng Xiaoyao at all because she has become a waste in other people's mouths.

Compared with Zheng Xiaoyao's previous cultivation talent, Zheng Li'er was a complete cultivation waste, and the blockages of the eight veins of the strange meridians in her body were extremely solid, and she had not even opened up a single meridian so far.

Looking at the pleading look in Zheng Li'er's eyes, Zheng Yi's heart was a little loose and wanted to agree, but he still refused Zheng Li'er's request.

"Li'er, I can't take you with me when I leave this time, because it's too dangerous. ”

"Uncle Zheng, Li'er is not afraid of danger and will not drag you down. ”

After Zheng Li'er finished speaking, she looked at Zheng Yi still with a firm face, without the slightest sense of accommodation, her voice gradually lowered, and her expression only showed a trace of loss.

Looking at this appearance, Zheng Yi stretched out his palm and touched Zheng Li'er's head, and persuaded softly: "Don't worry, Uncle Yi will definitely find Xiaoyao and marry you into the door." ”

Listening to Zheng Yi's words, Zheng Li'er's face was lost, and a wave of shyness surged up.

Seeing this, a smile appeared on Zheng Yi's face, and a cheerful laugh came out of his mouth.

But then, Zheng Yi thought in his heart that if I left and put Li'er alone in the Zheng family, I am afraid that life would be sad, then Zheng Jiang and Zheng Qiao would not treat her well.

"Li'er, after I left, you stayed alone in the Zheng family for fear of being bullied, I want to send you to a friend of mine, where are you waiting for Uncle Yi and Xiaoyao. ”

Listening to Zheng Yi's suggestion, Zheng Li'er was silent for a while, although few people in this family gave them a good face, but their parents were also a little reluctant to be here, but they still nodded and agreed to Zheng Yi's suggestion.

Zheng Yi wanted to say something, but the door was pushed open, and a person with an obese body but a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks walked in, this person was Zheng Qian, the current steward of the Zheng family, looking at the two of them, there was a little less respect in the eyes of the head of the family, but the gestures were all too people to find fault.

With a false smile on his face, he saluted, and Zheng Qian got up, his tone calm.

"The head of the house told me to invite you two over. ”

When Zheng Yi heard this, he snorted lightly and said coldly.

"Master of the family, I haven't gone down yet, he Zheng Qiao called himself that. ”

Turned around and said a few words to Li'er, then went straight out of the door, without looking at Zheng Qian, Zheng Qian saw that he was ignored, anger flashed in his eyes, but the expression on his face remained the same, and he got up and followed Zheng Yi and walked towards the family hall.

Today is the last meeting of the Zheng family head to be recalled, and after today's meeting, a new head of the family will be replaced.

Next to the wooden table, watching Zheng Yi being taken away, Zheng Li'er's eyes flashed with worry and helplessness.

He didn't understand why those clan elders would agree to the request of the eldest elder's father and son, Zheng Yi's achievements when he was the head of the family were seen by everyone, the rewards and punishments were clear, and he did not use the position of the head of the family to find any benefits for his family.

And this Zheng Jiang father and son, over the years, have been arrogant and domineering in the family, with no family rules, and I don't know how much family blood they have secretly sucked.

Zheng Li'er clenched her hands tightly, looking at the room that was left, Zheng Xiaoyao's figure came to mind.

Brother Xiaoyao, where are you, I miss you so much.

Zheng family, in the main hall.

Zheng Yi walked in, his steps were steady, his eyes were shining, and his expression was not unwilling at all, but showed a little joy.

If it weren't for the old man who asked me to take care of him when he was dying, I wouldn't have stayed in this place of intrigue all day long.

Now that he has resigned from his position, he can be regarded as having a relaxed life, and he can find a free life with peace of mind, and he will see people in life and corpses in death.

Entering the main hall, his eyes swept over the surrounding people, looked up, and saw several old men sitting on top of the original head of the family.

Zheng Yi stood in the middle of the hall, his footsteps unmoved, and his mouth whispered, revealing arrogance.

"If you want to be dismissed, hurry up, so that I can go and find my son. ”

Listening to these crazy words, the people around looked up at the man in front of them, a trace of strangeness flashed in their eyes, and they felt that Zheng Yi had become different, and the faces of the elders above were flushed with anger, and their palms slapped on the seats, and they reprimanded loudly.

"Zheng Yi, you are so bold, you don't even kneel in the face of us and others. ”

Seeing this, Zheng Qiao, who was next to him, was overjoyed, and immediately jumped out, pointed at Zheng Yi and said loudly: "The Venerable One Who Sees No Eye, in the face of the extreme clan elder is so presumptuous, do you still have clan rules in your eyes?"

Looking at Zheng Qiao, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, and his eyes and closed his eyes in the past few decades have made him forget some things, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Then I ask you, I haven't been deposed yet, so if this servant calls you the head of the house, it is considered a violation of the family rules. ”

Zheng Yi moved his feet, came to Zheng Qian on the side, kicked it over, stepped on the soles of his feet, and looked at Zheng Qiao with both eyes.

Listening to Zheng Yi's words, Zheng Qiao felt nervous in his heart, and hurriedly said: "This slave is talking nonsense by himself, what does it matter to me." ”

Zheng Yi listened, smiled in his heart, got up and let go of Zheng Qian, came to the hall, and stood calmly like this, but when everyone looked at Zheng Yi again, they always felt like they were very domineering.

"The head of the Zheng family, I, Zheng Yi, can't stand it, I am ashamed of my father's last wishes, and I have not turned the children of the Zheng family into the integrity, bravery, fearlessness, and loyalty he expected for more than ten years. ”

The clan elders above couldn't sit still at this time, stood up, and scolded Zheng Yi loudly.

"Zheng Yi, you are so bold that you dare to slander the reputation of the family. ”

Zheng Yi snorted lightly, and looked directly at the few clan elders in front of him, and his voice was like a bell, hitting people's hearts.

"Reputation! You go out and listen to the evaluation of our Zheng family by the people in this Maple Leaf City, the upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, why only three of you are the five clan elders. ”

"So what, three of you are enough to remove you. ”

Zheng Yi laughed loudly, I tell you.

"Because you are greedy, hypocritical, and selfish, the other two are unwilling to see the faces of their juniors, and at the same time they are powerless to change this appearance. ”
