Chapter 22: Family Sacrifice

On the Qingming rain, worship the ancestors and nostalgia.

Since last night, there have been cars and horses in front of the Yefu Gate, and from time to time there are gorgeous or simple carriages gathered in front of the Yefu Gate, and the figures wearing brocade robes got off at the Yefu Gate, and there were familiar people who arched their hands to each other, and they entered the Mansion Gate together.

It was raining continuously, and the sound of dripping rain was drip down the green tiles.

At this time, it was only the fourth watch, but the entire Ye Mansion was floating with light shadows, and from a high place, the warm yellow lanterns slowly moved around the Ye Mansion

Ye Cheng stood in front of the mirror and waited for Ling'er to give him a wide coat.

In fact, he didn't sleep at all last night, and last night the stewards from all over the Ye Mansion arrived at the Ye family one after another, and these stewards didn't see each other for a year.

The internal force broke through to the condensation level, Ye Cheng's spirit was unprecedentedly good, and not sleeping all night had no effect on them at all, besides, today's family sacrifice, he was the chief priest, and there were a lot of things to deal with

"Have all the stewards of the house come?"

Ling'er combed Ye Cheng's hair and slowly returned

"Yes, the stewards everywhere have returned home, and a few stewards came to Songheju last night, and I stopped them according to the young master's orders."

"The young master really didn't see them, after all, he was going to take over the family's industry."

Ye Chen closed his eyes and leaned back on the sandalwood chair

"What's there to see, I'm just trying to get a good job, and you don't know, I'm not interested in this."

The Ye family's industry, which is coveted by outsiders, is not worth mentioning to him at all, and the only use is to provide him with silver in exchange for drugs to improve his strength.

After entering the condensation level, Ye Cheng faintly felt as if he had broken through a certain boundary, and his strength increased greatly, and he could kill ordinary people with a single blow, even if he had deliberately restrained, ordinary people would subconsciously tremble when they saw him.

After trying to control the power and the feeling of life and death, Ye Cheng has no interest in running these worldly industries at all.

"Power and wealth are things outside the body after all, and only one's own strength is the real reliance."

Ye Cheng sighed, it can be said that the current Ye Cheng and ordinary people are completely at different levels, sparrows looking for food, and birds looking at the sky, the two are not the same

"Besides, those people may be preparing some kind of tricks now."

Thinking of this, Ye Cheng felt bored in his heart.

There are so many industries in the family, if Ye Cheng wants to take over, he will definitely have to take meat from other people's bowls, although Ye Mingyuan is in the town above, those people have to hand over the property, but this group of people has a lot of twists and turns in private, Ye Cheng is almost certain that just now, someone has begun to plan and prepare to attack him

In front of the mirror, Ye Cheng was wearing a dark purple dress, with wide sleeves, a jade crown on his head, and the man was crowned with sixteen crowns, today is not only the Ye family's family sacrifice, but also Ye Cheng's coming-of-age ceremony.

Although he was only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, Ye Cheng had a calm expression, four layers of Xuanyang internal qi were circulating endlessly in his body, and his eyes were extremely bright, like a torch.

"I don't want to care about other things, I just want my share of the dividends, and I hope no one will open their eyes and provoke me, otherwise...... I had to kill them all."

Ye Cheng waved the sleeves of his wide robe, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes

............

At this time, nearly 100 people had gathered in the Ye family's hall, these were the Ye family's stewards, and Beining City was also the number one city in the Northern Spirit Domain, and the Ye family, as one of the four major families, was naturally extremely large.

According to the relationship factions in the mansion, these stewards gathered together in twos and threes, talking in small voices, and the position of the hall near the first seat was subconsciously vacated.

The hall was extremely wide, accommodating nearly a hundred people and crowding endlessly, although the stewards were scattered in groups of three or five, but they all looked at the two figures under the first seat intentionally or unintentionally.

Two white-clothed figures stood in the front hall, surrounded by several middle-aged stewards, all of whom were shrewd and capable.

If you are familiar with Ye Mansion, you will definitely recognize that these people are all in charge of the Young Zhuang faction in the mansion, and their ability and skill have a great reputation even in Beining City.

One of them, a young man with a white jade belt around his waist and a handsome face, waved his hand, and a few stewards retreated into the distance with interest.

In addition to the young man who waved away from the steward, there was only another young man with an indifferent expression.

This young man is five or six points similar to Ye Cheng, and when he saw the young man waving away everyone, his brows furrowed, but he didn't speak

"Brother Cheng is the main priest this year, and after today, I will start to accept the inheritance of the family."

"Ye Li, if you have anything to say directly, don't go around the bend here" The young man snorted coldly

"Okay, Ye Hong, then let's open the skylight and say something bright" The young man put away his paper fan and stared at the expressionless young man in front of him

"Are you really willing to hand over the things in your hand, and the industries that Brother Cheng wants to take over, there are a few fang markets that were originally in your name, right, are you willing to hand them over to him like this?"

"What if you are unwilling, this is the Ye family's industry, my father spoke, do you dare not pay" Ye Hong sneered

"Naturally, you have to pay it, but it's not impossible to get it back"

"What way"

"If I'm not mistaken, if the children of the Ye family, who run the family business, lose more than 30% within half a year, the clan will forcibly recover the clan property."

"The two of us join forces, and it is not difficult to make those industries lose 30% within half a year, how about it, we will divide the recovered industries in half, even the newly acquired mine in the clan I can also give it to you"

Ye Li's voice was gentle, and he couldn't hear that he was planning the inheritance of the brothers in the clan at all, but seemed to be talking about something as casual as what to eat for dinner tonight.

Ye Hong sneered, "Don't forget, Ye Cheng is my eldest brother, do you think I will join forces with you?"

Ye Hong's words were sarcastic, but Ye Li didn't care

"Big brother, what about the eldest brother, he is the son of the Ye family, and only he has the right to inherit the entire Ye family's property, even if you are his younger brother, in the end, you will either be attached to him and beg for mercy, or you will be swept away to find another way to live, are you really willing to hand over this huge Ye family to that waste who only thinks about demons and monsters all day long?"

Saying this, the young man's face turned red and his tone became excited

"We have a common enemy, only by defeating Ye Cheng, we will have a way out, the Ye family needs a strong enough leader, whether it is you or me, it is a hundred times stronger than Ye Cheng, the Ye family must not be handed over to Ye Cheng"

Looking at the young man whose eyes were red, the more he spoke, the more excited he became, Ye Hong sneered

"So, you're still thinking about my Ye family, shouldn't I praise you for being loyal to the family?"

He naturally knew what Ye Li was thinking, and only by defeating Ye Cheng, the only heir, would he have a chance to truly take control of the Ye family

Sensing his gaffe, Ye Li took a deep breath, calmed down, changed his face to a warm smile, and said softly

"Even if you don't participate, I will definitely make a move, how long do you think your dear big brother can last in my hands, two months? or three months?"

Ye Li chuckled lightly and left directly, leaving Ye Hong frowning in place, although he looked down on Ye Li's personality, he had to admit his talent in business.

Thinking of his eldest brother who didn't do his job all day long and only knew how to fiddle with some strange things, Ye Hong felt irritable in his heart, Ye Cheng would definitely not be able to stop Ye Li.

His eldest brother has always been alert and intelligent until he was twelve years old, and he is also a famous prodigy in Beining City, but since he became obsessed with the legends of those gods and ghosts, the whole person has been chattering, making the Ye family the laughing stock of Beining City.

Ye Hong has very complicated feelings for this eldest brother, on the one hand, Ye Cheng was very good to himself when he was a child, and protected himself everywhere, on the other hand, Ye Cheng's current appearance really makes him look down on him, and then he thinks that the industry he worked hard to manage was also given to Ye Cheng out of thin air, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of boredom in his heart.

Bell, bell, bell

Several bells rang, and Qingyue's bells echoed in the mansion, shocking people's hearts, and everyone in the hall who was talking with their heads bowed also stopped talking.

The family festival is about to begin.

There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and Ye Cheng stepped into the hall wearing a purple robe and a piece of green jade pendant hanging from his waist.

Immediately, everyone's eyes converged on Ye Cheng, looking at the young man in front of him.

Ye Cheng didn't care, and walked directly to the front hall, hundreds of sergeants were killed when they said they would kill, and the observation of these people in front of him was nothing to him.

"The bearing is calm, the heart should be good, but I don't know if it's pretended" Everyone made up their minds in their hearts

"Take away your godly chatter, someone wants to do something to you, and if you continue like this, you will really become the laughing stock of Beining City," a voice snorted coldly

"Do it to me?"

Ye Cheng looked at the young man in front of him who was quite similar to himself, and was stunned for a moment.

Ye Hong, his biological brother, according to the memory, the two had an excellent relationship, but later after he became obsessed with the legend of gods and ghosts, the two quarreled a few times, a year ago Ye Hong also began to take over the family business, and lived outside all year round, and the property in the clan was also run by him, and Ye Li was called the Ye family twins together.

"Sure enough, some people always want to do things" Ye Cheng looked thoughtfully at Ye Li not far away, the other party was elegant, and he was talking to an old steward.

"yes, I see"

Ye Cheng smiled lightly, although the young man in front of him was ruthless, he was actually towards himself, knowing that he might inherit the entire family business, and he could still come to remind him that his temperament was not bad.

Thinking of this, a thought flashed in Ye Cheng's heart.

Even if he hadn't seen it, Ye Cheng could imagine that in the face of the Ye family's terrifying wealth and power, things like blood and family should really not be too fragile, and the children of wealthy families should not be too torn apart for inheritance, and not too much happened in the previous life.

Ye Hong was extremely dissatisfied with Ye Cheng's casual appearance, and Ye Cheng obviously didn't take his words to heart

"Let's see how you cry then"

Ye Hong snorted coldly, angrily found his place below and sat down, no longer speaking.

Ye Cheng didn't care, his strength was no longer at this level, and the only thing he was concerned about now was the improvement of his own strength.

If the other party really doesn't know whether to live or die and makes any small moves, then he can't be blamed for being ruthless.

At the same time, Ye Cheng also found that most of the people present looked at him, but there were not many who were afraid.

"It seems that the City Lord's Mansion has suppressed this matter, otherwise these people would not be so casual"

The hundreds of chairs in the hall were already full, and they were filled one after another, Ye Cheng was dressed in purple and sat at the front of the right, followed by Ye Hong and Ye Li.

Three more bells rang, and bursts of footsteps came from outside the hall, Ye Mingyuan, also dressed in a purple robe, stepped into the main hall, followed by Ye Fu and Ye Lian.

"Meet the Head of the House"

Nearly 100 people in the field stood up to salute, their clothes brought gusts of wind, and as Ye Mingyuan sat down in the first place, the Ye family's family sacrifice officially began.
