Chapter Forty-Seven: The Shaking Wang Family
The Wang family.
At this time, more than a dozen family elders, including Wang Xu and others, sat in two rows, and Wang Jingshan, the head of the family, was at the front.
Like the Song family, the gathering of the elders of the Wang family in this form means that something big has happened in the Wang family.
Regarding what happened yesterday, all the elders basically already knew, from Song You's discovery, to the great movement of the Song family, to Wang Jingshan's sending slaughtering dogs to transfer Song Tianyuan, these news were not a secret to them.
But Wang Jingshan summoned everyone in such a hurry, which made people have an ominous premonition, could it be that the plan to slaughter the dog to demand ransom from the Song family had failed?
When the elders had an ominous premonition, they saw Wang Jingshan raise his hand and throw a wooden card in front of everyone's eyes.
"Is this...?" On the palm-sized wooden plaque, there was a conspicuous Wang character, which was the identity card that all the clansmen within the Wang family had, and when those elders saw the name engraved under the wooden plaque, they all frowned.
"Wang Chi is dead. ”
When Wang Jingshan said this, all the elders were shocked in their hearts, they knew that Wang Chi was the one who assisted the slaughtering dog to carry out the transfer plan yesterday, and as one of the few psychic realm masters in the Wang family, Wang Chi's status in the family can be imagined, but now Wang Jingshan said that he was dead... Could it be that something has happened to the plan?
"What the hell is this, master... What happened?" Wang Xu, who was sitting below, was most shocked when he heard the news.
"Last night, Wang Chi lost contact with us along with the slaughtering dog, and this morning, someone brought this wooden sign to the door. Wang Jingshan said with a gloomy face.
"Is it someone from the Song family?" Some elders reacted quickly: "Then Wang Chi and the slaughtering dog they..."
"Their bodies have just been found by the stream north of the town. Wang Jingshan said in a deep voice: "They were killed last night. ”
All the elders' hearts were shocked again, and a touch of disbelief appeared in their expressions, especially Wang Xu, who almost wondered if he had heard it wrong.
"I don't need to say more, you should have already thought of it. Wang Jingshan said gloomily: "This incident is obviously a trap set by the Song family from beginning to end, forcing us to transfer Song Tianyuan may be part of their plan." ”
"It's... How is it possible? Could it be that the slaughtering dogs were being followed?" Wang Xu was shocked, if he hadn't been followed, he really couldn't have imagined, how could the Song family accurately find the slaughtering dogs in the vast dense forest?
"How they do these things, we don't know yet, and that's not the point. Wang Jingshan said in a deep voice, and then turned his eyes to Wang Xu: "Elder Wang Xu, aren't you going to say something about this matter?"
When Wang Jingshan said these words, the other elders in the hall also turned their eyes to Wang Xu, and now most of the elders already know that the origin of this matter came from Wang Xu's call to Song You, if he hadn't asked Song You to kill that Song Yi, things would not have evolved into the current situation.
And when the elders looked at him, Wang Xu also had a calm face, he gritted his teeth, stood up and said: "This matter started because of me, it was I who called Song You without authorization and destroyed the family's long-term plan, so that it caused the current situation, for this, I am willing to accept all the punishments of the family." ”
After Wang Xu finished speaking, Wang Jingshan in front of the hall was also slightly silent, and said to Wang Xu: "Since Elder Wang Xu can see his mistakes, then for one year from now, you will be banned from participating in all internal affairs in the family, and your contribution within this year will also be cancelled... Do you have any objections?"
Wang Jingshan's punishment made Wang Xu stunned, a year's contribution is his income for a year, although it is as much as hundreds of gold coins, but it is not unacceptable to him, but it is forbidden to participate in the family's internal affairs for a year, which means that he will be no different from those ordinary internal clansmen, only the days of pampering are left, which makes Wang Xu a little unacceptable.
However, even if Wang Xu was dissatisfied at the moment, he could only choose to nod and bear the punishment, after all, the matter started because of him, and he had to accept the punishment even if he didn't want to accept it now.
"This is not the place for you to be, get out. After depriving Wang Xu of the right to participate in internal affairs, Wang Jingshan waved his hand directly to him, and the latter also snorted coldly in his heart when he heard this, and immediately turned around and walked outside the lobby.
The other elders looked at the back of Wang Xu's departure, and they all sighed silently in their hearts, and then looked at Wang Jingshan again.
"Family Master, what should we do in this situation?" the Great Elder asked.
Wang Jingshan said coldly: "What the Song family did this time, we will record it in the account book, including what they did hundreds of years ago, one day, our Wang family will calculate with them one by one, and at that time, they will know whose territory is here." ”
"But... They killed one of our psychic realm masters, is that the matter settled?" said an elder with some indignation.
"Then what do you want to do? Raise the strength of the whole clan and fight with them?" Wang Jingshan snorted coldly: "In this way, even if we win in the end, we will lose eight hundred soldiers, and there are not only our Wang family and Song family in Xinan Town now, don't forget, although the Yang family has always maintained a tepid relationship with the Song family, and there is also the Taiyun Martial Arts Pavilion, but if the Wang family and the Song family are both defeated, do you think they will let go of the great opportunity to annex us?"
What Wang Jingshan said made many elders feel terrified.
"The Song family sent the wooden card this time, although they want to provoke us, but at the same time, it also shows that they are not ready to go to war, they just want to stimulate us in this matter, and they may also know that we will not choose to go to war, so they are so unscrupulous. Wang Jingshan said.
"What are the next plans for the head of the house?" the Great Elder asked.
Hearing this, Wang Jingshan said: "Let's take a look at the situation for the time being, the Song family is crazy in their bones, just in case, I have asked people to summon those internal clansmen who are outside, and in the next month, let them go out as little as possible, so as not to bump into the crazy group of the Song family, at this time, it is best not to make extraneous branches, we must know how to forbear." ”
"But... This will make the Song family more and more inch-in, right?" said an elder.
"I know that old guy from the Song family, they just want to use this matter to show off their might, so on the edge of the real thunder pool, they still don't dare to take a step easily. Wang Jingshan said: "I hope they have a sense of proportion." ”
Hearing this, all the elders also acquiesced in their hearts, and the fact was just as Wang Jingshan said, they could only do this now.
"This time, I have already said everything I should say, the mistakes made by Wang Xu, I hope you will take it as a warning, so be it. After speaking, Wang Jingshan was ready to end the meeting.
However, at this moment, a guard man suddenly walked in hurriedly outside the hall, which attracted everyone's attention, and Wang Jingshan also raised his hand, telling all the elders who were about to leave to wait.
"Is something wrong?" Wang Jingshan asked, looking at the guard who ran in.
The guard knelt down on one knee: "Report, there was a large-scale clash just now at the bazaar. ”
"Conflict?" Wang Jingshan and the elders frowned for a moment: "What's going on?"
"It was Young Master Wang Cheng and Song Yi of the Song Family's Minghao Hall who had an argument on the street, and after the matter expanded, it became a confrontation between thousands of outsiders from our Wang family and the Song family. "The guard reports.
And when Wang Jingshan heard Song Yi mentioned by the guards, the anger that he had gradually suppressed suddenly surged back into his heart, and the previous news was that Song Yi had discovered Song You's identity as a spy.
Why is this little cub making trouble again?
