Chapter 173: To Each His Own Need (Part II)

The courtyards in Zhouzhuang are all concentrated in the ancestral hall of the Zhou family, and only some subordinates hold various sticks and knives in their hands, nervously guarding their respective courtyards. Xu Changqing walked all the way without any obstacles, and when he passed through the Cold Moon Garden, he felt that the formation he used to trap the old lady of the Zhou family was broken due to the change of the feng shui pattern, and the old lady of the Zhou family was no longer in the Cold Moon Garden. Xu Changqing originally didn't want Mrs. Zhou to be involved in the Zhou family, but now God is pushing him to experience the threshold of breaking family affection, and he can only continue to move forward without turning back.

In the ancestral hall of the Zhou family, all the descendants and collateral families in the Zhou family village were concentrated, and they all looked stern and the atmosphere was extremely tense. Compared with the Zhou family's lineage sitting on the left side of the main hall and sparsely populated, the Zhou family's side line on the right looks much more prosperous, with more than 30 people of all ages. And it was supposed to be a clan meeting that only the Zhou family could attend, but Zhou Ranfeng, the head of the Zhou family, forcibly brought in a few outsiders, which shows that the power of the Zhou family's side is extremely powerful.

In the middle of the main hall of the ancestral hall of the Zhou family, a handsome young man of twenty-five or sixteen years old knelt on the ground, his body shrunk into a ball, constantly trembling, his pale face was covered with panic, and beads of sweat the size of beans poured out like spring water, wetting a large part of the ground. Behind this person, there were five richly dressed young people kneeling, but compared to the sincere fear of the people in front of them, these people looked relaxed, and did not feel the tension inside and outside the hall at all, as if they were confident that they would be fine.

In the center of the hall, under the tablet of the ancestors of the Zhou family, the old lady Zhou looked at the children of the Zhou family kneeling below with a pale face, and the hand holding the crutches kept trembling.

"Xiao Qi, what else do you have to say?" Old Madam Zhou took a deep breath, looked at her young grandson with regret, and said in a deep voice.

"Xiao Qi knows that he is wrong! Xiao Qi will never do it again," the young man kneeling in front of him wept bitterly, kowtowed vigorously, and pleaded: "Grandma, save Xiao Qi! Don't hand Xiao Qi over to those people outside, they will kill Xiao Qi." ”

"If you know today, why bother in the first place. Mrs. Zhou turned her face aside, she couldn't bear to see her grandson's appearance, and said sadly: "You have done evil in the past, but you have not hurt people's lives, I will turn a blind eye and let you fool the past! ”

When the young man saw Mrs. Zhou's resolute expression, he knew that it was useless to beg her, so he turned his head to look at his father Zhou Ranyan, looked at him with a sad face, and said bitterly: "Dad, save the child! The child doesn't want to die." ”

After all, flesh and blood, hearing his son's pleading, Zhou Ranyan couldn't sit still any longer, pushed away Zhou Ranming's arm to suppress himself, walked to his youngest son and knelt down, and said: "Mother, if you really have to take responsibility for the so-called failure to raise and the fault of your father, it should be borne by me, the father who did not discipline his son well, and I hope that my mother can read that she is young and ignorant for seven years, and let him live! As for those people outside, let my son calm down their people's anger!"

Seeing his own brother do this, Zhou Ranming was deeply distressed, and then he saw the cold smile on Zhou Ranfeng's face opposite, and a wave of anger couldn't help but rush to the top of his head. He didn't care about the unity of the Zhou family, he stood up suddenly, walked to Zhou Ranyan's side, and saluted with his fists at Mrs. Zhou: "Mother, although Xiao Qi likes to do nonsense, he has never hurt people's lives. There must be something strange about that woman's death, and I hope my mother will find out!"

At this time, the children of the Zhou family also stood up one after another, knelt behind Zhou Ranming, and begged Mrs. Zhou to suspend the punishment until the matter was clarified.

"Hmph! The words of the head of the family seem to be insinuating and thorny, as if he is saying that my children and grandchildren deliberately instigated Zhou Qingwen to do such cruel things. Zhou Ranfeng also stood up at this time, he was one of the few old people Xu Changqing saw in the ancestral hall that night. I saw him take a few steps forward, raised his hand towards Old Madam Zhou with an arrogant expression, and said with a sneer: "My grandsons' reputation abroad is much better than Zhou Qingwen's, this is a well-known thing! Moreover, on the night of the incident, they were discussing business with several big merchants outside the customs, and until the morning of the next day, these can be asked. It is impossible for a few of them to do such a thing as Zhou Qingwen said with him and force the Li woman to death. In my opinion, this must be Qingwen's nephew who wants to find a few more people to blame, so as to reduce the responsibility, and I hope the old lady will find out!"

At this moment, the children of the Zhou family also stood up one after another, swearing to vouch for their brothers, and their momentum was much stronger than that of the descendants.

At this time, one of Zhou Ranming's daughters said urgently: "You and those merchants have money dealings all year round, so they naturally talk to you!"

"Second Miss, don't you also have perennial money dealings like us, why didn't you speak to us?" The people on the side of the Zhou family grabbed the handle and made fun of them, over the years, the monthly money of the children of the Zhou family was completely insufficient for them to spend, so as to give these people with a heart on the side of the family the opportunity to use a lot of money to corrupt them. Except for Zhou Zhenglin and Zhou Qinglan, all of the descendants of the Zhou family are rotten to the bone, proficient in eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, it is no wonder that the people in the Zhou family's side line look down on the descendants so much.

These words of the Zhou family, the descendants of the descendants blushed one by one, and they couldn't refute it, and the old lady Zhou and Zhou Ranming brothers both showed remorse, regretting that they had wantonly indulged these juniors.

At this time, Zhou Ranfeng stood up again and said: "Since the old lady and the head of the family are unwilling to believe the human testimony I propose, then let the bitter master himself say who the people who hurt him are!" As he spoke, in the puzzled eyes of the Zhou family, he turned around and pointed to several monks who had been standing aside without speaking, and said: "These are all masters with ** power, all of them have the great ability to summon spirits and ask God, and they are specially invited by the old man for today's affairs. ”
