Chapter 15 The ancient family feast, purging the residue
Two days later, the main hall behind the ancestral hall of Hongde Manor.
The lanterns in the main hall are like the New Year, and the various branches of the ancient family gather together. Today is the family banquet of the ancient family, and it is the day of the birth of the new head of the ancient family. Even so, because of the Great War of the Eastern Continent, the number of people in the main hall was not too large compared to previous years.
Gu Wenze had already revealed the news of handing over the position of head of the family to Gu Dongping before, and the Martial Arts Pavilion and the Dark Department had already been handed over in advance, and today was just a formality.
The family feast went on as usual, the musicians played melodious music, and according to the distance of the relationship, three or two people gathered in a pile, but most people's minds were not here.
At the beginning of his own banquet, Gu Dongping did not appear, which made some people who knew the inside story very puzzled. It is no secret that Gu Dongping is in charge of the Gu family, and it is inevitable to do so according to his strength, which has unspeakable benefits for the Gu family.
Doubts are doubts, there should be calmness These people still have them, and the family banquet was halfway through as usual, Gu Wenze suddenly knocked on the cup in his hand, and the crisp sound made the entire hall noisy. Seeing this, the musician also stopped playing.
Gu Wenze stood up from the main seat of the inner hall, and he got together, and the elders around him also got up, and then everyone also got up. All knew what was going to happen.
"Every time there is a big war in the Eastern Continent, it means that most of the family's heritage is consumed, and this time is even more so. At this time, the Gu family needs a better person to lead the Gu family to recover as soon as possible. It's an indisputable fact that I'm old. Recently, a peerless genius and a highness have appeared in the family, and he has achieved an achievement that has not been achieved by the predecessors of my ancient family for thousands of years. With him and his guidance, I believe that the Gu family will go to the next level. Gu Wenze didn't turn around and went straight in.
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Dongping's figure appeared in the inner hall, and he stood next to Gu Wenze and stood on the high platform with him.
Gu Wenze took out a small disc, which was something he had given to Gu Dongping, and now it was used for a passing scene. He held the disc up, "I will give him the control of the Martial Arts Pavilion, which symbolizes the position of the head of the family, and the control of the Secret Guard.
From today on, Gu Dongping is the head of the ancient family and the elder of the elder group. From then on, the main family was transferred to the Gu Dongping lineage, and all the property attached to the Gu family was handed over to Gu Dongping for processing, and merged into the Gu Dongping lineage. Is there anyone against it?"
As soon as his voice fell, there was a discussion below, as if mosquitoes were buzzing. Gu Wenze's resignation from the position of head of the family Everyone is mentally prepared, and it is also the proper meaning of surrendering to the status of the head of the family, but for more than a hundred years, the property in charge of the head of the family has long been inseparable from the property of the Gu family, which is the reason for the commotion.
Gu Wenze waited for a while, and the discussion turned silent. He has already cleaned up all the strange voices in the main family, and no one other than the main family will have any objections.
Gu Dongping has not shied away from killing since he has risen from beginning to end, and for him inside and outside the family, there is no one who cannot be killed except for his closest relatives. His style of conduct determines his power.
Gu Dongping took the disc from Gu Wenze's hand, the source force was integrated, the disc blue light flashed, and he sensed the fluctuation of a position from afar, and it was not surprising that it was where the Martial Arts Pavilion was located.
Gu Wenze handed over the disc that symbolized the position of the head of the family, and gave way to the central position, Gu Dongping stood in front of the main seat of the main hall, and he looked down from the high platform.
Gu Wenze, who was next to Gu Dongping, first knelt on one knee to show his allegiance, and then everyone below knelt on one knee, including Gu Dongping's father, Gu Jinyi, was not exempt from vulgarity, of course, he only knelt this time from then on, which was a symbol of his ruling Gu family.
"Everyone, please get up and take your seats. Gu Dongping sat down in the main seat, and the attendant next to him brought a chair behind Gu Wenze.
Seeing this scene, the hearts of the bright-eyed Gu family moved, the head of the family gave way and was often full of bloody struggles, twenty years ago, Gu Wenze directly imprisoned the former head of the family to death, but now it seems that Gu Wenze will not withdraw from the stage of the Gu family.
Gu Dongping also made a public promise, this is an exchange between him and Gu Wenze, "All the offerings of Gu Wenze's lineage have remained unchanged for twenty years, and the children of the branch have enjoyed the original rights and interests for five years, and I will buy the property mixed with the main family at full price." ”
Then his tone changed, "Elder Gu Tianqi of the Elder Regiment voluntarily withdrew and took charge of the affairs of the family elders. Gu Wenze was demoted from a great elder to an ordinary elder. The martial arts pavilion enshrined Gu Haozhou with bad intentions, and the evidence was conclusive, so the position of chief enshrinement was eliminated from then on, and Qi Li served as it. The leader of the dark department is served by Ah Fu, and from then on, the dark department is directly under the head of the family. Gu Guangde stepped down as the elder of the family because he was suspected of killing the family bloodline, and was replaced by Gu Kaiwei and entered the family elder group for the elderly. ”
As soon as these words came out, the sky directly boiled below, and Gu Wenze also looked at him with a shocked face, and Gu Dongping didn't greet him at all. The others said it differently, the leader of the dark department, the chief worshipper, and the two elders were added, and the core layer of the ancient family was directly changed blood.
"Gu Dongping, if you don't have a trial, how can you be punished, and the head of the family can't be lawless. Gu Haozhou was directly stunned and shouted loudly.
"Don't be in a hurry. Gu Dongping pressed his hand down, and the discussion disappeared directly, showing his precise control, "The trial will start slowly, except for Elder Gu Haozhou, does Elder Gu Guangde have any objections?"
Gu Guangde, who was sitting next to Gu Jinyi, smiled reluctantly, got up and said, "Master Mingjian, I have no doubts. Gu Haozhou looked at him in disbelief, wanting to say something, but was overwhelmed by Gu Dongping.
"Let's start with the shadows. Gu Dongping clapped his hands.
At this moment, a pair of armorers in leather armor walked into the corner of the main hall, and there was a young man tied up in the armor.
"The dark department is directly under the jurisdiction of the head of the family, and it has great power, so it must be loyal. When I was in the central battlefield to support General Gu Hailin's gathering place, there was a rebellion in the dark department, and at that time, the members of the dark department attacked me in front of the left front, and it has been more than a year that the leader of the dark department, Lian Xuezhen, has not dealt with it. According to the family law, Zuo Qian should die, Lian Xuezhen stepped down from the position of the head of the dark department, and Ah Fu took over. Execute it now. ”
Ah Fu, who was in front of the people, bowed his head and said, "Yes, master." He put away his knife and fell, and his head fell to the ground with a bang on his left side.
"The dark part is loyal to the head of the family, walking in the dark must be restrained, they are the last guarantee of the safety of the ancient family, it can not be strong, but it must be pure. This is a matter of the dark department, as for Gu Haozhou's worship and Gu Guangde's elder, it is actually one thing. ”
Gu Dongping pointed with his hand, and a stack of letters appeared, as well as a piece of animal skin paper, "These letters are the confession letters given to me by Elder Gu Guangde, which contain all the transactions he had with Gu Haozhou, as well as the facts of his rebellion. The vellum paper is the list of hyena transactions I got in my early years, and it includes the fact that Gu Haozhou was involved in a dispute between the heads of the family twenty years ago and intended to rebel.
Elder Gu Guangde took the initiative to explain, and I allowed him to exercise the authority to trade, which is the authority conferred on him by the position of elder. However, Gu Haozhou intended to rebel twenty years ago, and now it is like this again, and it cannot be taken lightly. According to the family law, Gu Haozhou should die, and Gu Guangde stepped down as the head of the family and was executed immediately. ”
As soon as Gu Dongping's voice fell, Gu Haozhou had a premonition that something was wrong, he looked at Gu Guangde and pointed at him full of disbelief, he really didn't expect Gu Guangde to surrender, which was beyond everyone's expectations.
Low, only Gu Guangde's heart was bitter, Gu Dongping forced everyone in the branch vein to take their lives, and used Gu Kaiwei to replace him to lure, he really had no choice. And today is not only Gu Haozhou going to die, he is sitting in the branch vein, and Gu Peijia and others who are related to the family banquet that assassinated him have not been spared, and they are all dead.
This is Gu Dongping's method, never soft, never forgive. In the face of absolute strength, there is no way to resist at all.
Gu Haozhou found that he couldn't speak, and his hands and feet couldn't move, and a dagger fell on his chest, and Ah Fu returned to his original position as a result.
Seeing this, Gu Guangde didn't speak, slowly got up, and walked towards the outside of the main hall. Gu Dongping did not stop it, and from then on, this person was considered to be useless. The current power center of the Gu family has become Gu Dongping, Gu Jinyi, Gu Wenze, Gu Xiyu, and Gu Kaiwei.
On the day of his inauguration, on the day of the family banquet, Gu Dongping did something to kill at the most unlikely time to kill.
"That's who I am. Gu Dongping smiled indifferently, "Whether it's you or the enemy, what I need is not admiration, only awe." This sentence will always fall on the hearts of all people.
"I'll give you a chance, does anyone want to leave the Gu family?"
Gu Dongping was equal for a while, and seeing that no one had left, he smiled, "You think that the end of the Eastern Continent War is the time to recuperate, but I want to tell you that the war has just begun......"
