Old man Su has no other heirs, and Su Qin is the only heir of the Su family, unless the old man has any illegitimate children, or Su Qin quickly gets married and has children.

So everybody knows the opportunity.

If the old man died, Su Qin, who did not have any competition, would naturally become the patriarch, and at this time, Su Qin would have no challenge to monopolize the five votes.

But once Su Qin died, then Su Qin's five votes would be directly invalidated.

All collateral lines can compete for the patriarchal position.

Everyone knows that this is the biggest risk, so Old Man Su has been paving the way for Su Qin, and Su Qin also wants to control the entire Su family as much as possible, so that the worst result will not occur.

It can be seen that why do wealthy families always like to have more children?

It's not just about branching out, it's also about sharing the risk and not putting all your eggs in one basket.

In this way, the competition will only be internal, whether it is the left hand or the right hand, it is their own hand, but once the heirs wither, it is easy to be cut off.

Since Old Man Su was far overseas, Han Lao presided over the family meeting on his behalf, and now Han Lao's task has ended.

However, this family meeting is far from being as simple as it seems, Han Lao said thoughtfully: "Su Beiming's ambition is not small, he wants to continue to move forward not only needs the support of the Chen family, but also needs the full strength of the Su family, but the old patriarch feels that his ability cannot match his ambition, so he has not agreed." ”

"So, Su Beiming obviously hooked up with the Southern Su family, otherwise he wouldn't have resolutely supported the Southern Su family this time?" Fang Jinglong said silently.

This time, there were three votes to remove him from the head of the northwest region, one of which was the farthest Su family in the official career now, followed by the two votes of the Su family in the south.

The so-called Southern Su family is the Lingnan Su family and the Southwest Su family in the same vein, and the Lingnan Su family is the strongest in the Su family because of the deep economic center of gravity in Lingnan, plus the layout in Xiangjiang and Haojiang, etc.

Over the years, he has often jumped out to oppose the old man's decision, and Sima Zhao's heart is well known to passers-by.

The Su family in the southwest is in a corner, and it is difficult to enter the presbyterian church if it is not for the support of the Lingnan Su family, so it has always been the Lingnan Su family.

The Qilu Su family, where Su Beiming is located, and the Southern Su family, where Su Zhe is where Su Qin has been taught by Su Qin, these two forces are two of the three major mountains within the Su family that Han Lao told Su Qin.

The last mountain is the former patriarch force who was taken away by Old Man Su, although they were overthrown, they have been deeply cultivated in Beijing for so many years, and the background is not comparable to other side lines.

Moreover, after Su Beiming was transferred to Shangjing, they became very close to Su Beiming.

Although there is no blatant support for Su Beiming this time, who knows what medicine is sold in the gourd?

The remaining two collateral lines are one of the Central Plains Su family and the other is the Jiangnan Su family, the Central Plains Su family was supported by Old Man Su, and they are still loyal to Old Man Su for the time being, but if Old Man Su dies, it may not be.

At that time, it will be a little difficult for them to protect themselves, how can they support Su Qin?

As for the Jiangnan Su family, their economic strength is not weak, second only to the Lingnan Su family, plus the relationship with Su Qin's grandfather's Qin family is relatively good, so they can rest assured for the time being.

Han Lao smiled and said: "Jinglong, let's not worry about these things for the time being, it's best for them to endure it all the time, so that Su Qin's strength will become stronger and stronger, you just need to assist Su Qin well." ”

"Old Han, I understand." Fang Jinglong said in a deep voice.

Now that he has been labeled as Su Qin by everyone, there may be a lot of resistance to doing many things in the future, but the grievances he suffered today will be returned to them one day.

After finishing this matter, Fang Jinglong can go back to Chang'an.

Han Lao finally made a trip to Beijing, and he didn't go back in a short time, he also had to visit some important friends of the Su family for the old man, and at the same time, he could also inquire a lot of news.

But now he had a trivial matter to attend to.

"Shen Lian, you come in." Han Lao shouted lightly.

Shen Lian, who had been standing at the door with a straight figure and stubble, walked in quickly, and said respectfully: "Old Han, you called me?" ”

Han Lao suddenly scolded: "Kneel." ”

Shen Lian's face was a little puzzled, but he still frowned and knelt down, the mausoleum guards must obey the orders of the patriarch and the dragon head, even if they let them die, they can't blink.

"You don't have anything to explain to me?" Han Lao's eyes were full of murderous aura.

Shen Lian was still pretending to be confused and said, "Old Han, I don't know what you mean by this?" ”

Old Man Han sighed, if you don't cherish the opportunity given to you, then don't blame me.

At this time, Han Lao suddenly shot out without warning and slapped Shen Lian's head with a palm.

Shen Lian subconsciously wanted to resist, but unfortunately it was too late, and he was not Han Lao's opponent at all, he was directly beaten out, and his whole face was bleeding.

However, Han Lao didn't kill him, he didn't want the Su family's old mansion to be stained with blood again.

I only heard Han Lao snort coldly: "You are just a dog of the Su family, but you don't recognize whoever throws some bones at you as the master, you dare to hook up with Su Beiming, you really don't want to die." ”

Han Lao's palm had already seriously injured Shen Lian, and he wanted to refute but couldn't say anything.

Han Lao slowly got up and said disdainfully: "Send to Zangzhou, you are not allowed to come back without an order, otherwise you will bear the consequences." ”

When Shen Lian heard this, his whole person completely fainted.

There is a world of difference between that place in Tibet and Shangjing, and I am afraid that I will not want to come back this time.

At this moment, Shen Lian somewhat regretted it, who let anything not escape Han Lao's eyes.

Soon Shen Lian was carried out, fortunately, he didn't let Shen Lian be in charge of the mausoleum keepers in the Shangjing area at the same time, and only let him be in charge of the affairs of the Su family's old mansion, otherwise it would be a little difficult to end now.

For this reason, Han Lao also pleaded guilty to Old Man Su.

For the Su family, if you are greedy for money, this kind of thing is a trivial matter, anyway, the Su family is not short of this money, but if you sit crookedly, you will only be left with a dead warp.

Originally, after Shen Lian's accident, Han always wanted Ma Qian to be in charge of the Su family's old house, but who knew that Su Qin picked Ma Qian away last time, I don't know if Ma Qian would cry bitterly if he knew the news?

After being a security captain for so long, the chicken dog finally ascended to heaven, but he missed it by mistake.

But life is always dependent on blessings and misfortunes, what is yours is yours, and you can't fight if you don't fight.

In addition, there are other candidates, that is, Tuoba who is in charge of Shuzhou, but thinking that Su Qin's girlfriend's family is in Shuzhou, and Tuoba may need help in the future, Han Lao can only give up.

Su Qin can not worry about many things, but Old Man Su and Old Han have to take precautions.

In the end, Han Lao chose a woman to become the new housekeeper of the Su family's old mansion, this woman is the head of the Shangjing regional intelligence group, and she has been managing network resources in Shangjing for many years, and the most important thing is to be loyal.

Shen Lian's matter was reported by her.

This should be her reward.

If she had ulterior motives, the end would only be worse than Shen Lian.
