"So be it! I bothered my second uncle to stay with me for a few more days. After I clean up the battlefield, I will gather your original team for the second uncle, and then help you repair the warship. Although it can't restore your 5,000 elite sailors, at least it's not satisfactory. In this way, you can still have an explanation when you go back to Fujian. ”

Yu Zhigao thought he had misheard. He couldn't believe that Yu Ren would give him back both his men and his boat. Although he is his cousin, but now the two are in a hostile position!

"What, the second uncle doesn't want it?" Yu Ren saw that Yu Zhigao hadn't spoken for a long time, so he asked.

"Ah, no. Want, want! Although these words sound a little soft, but this is a moment of life and death, Yu Zhigao has to accept this softness even if he wants to save face.

"In this case, please ask the second uncle to stay patiently in Tamsui for a few more days! The little nephew still has something to do, so he won't accompany the uncle. When I have time, I'll come to see the second uncle. With that, Yu Ren got up and went into the cabin. The two fortune boats sailed away.

In the next few days, Yu Ren did not lose his words, and he fulfilled his promise to Yu Zhigao. All the prisoners were released, and the captured ships were returned to them.

Yu Zhigao thanked Yu Ren and left with mixed feelings.

Although Yu Shigao is gone, the dispute between the Xu family has just begun. Many people did not understand Yu Ren's practice of letting Yu Zhigao go and taking away the warships and prisoners with him, even including Yu Ren's confidant Liu Qiang. In this matter, only three people expressed their support for Yu Ren. These three people are Xu Qian, Huang Ji'an and Qu Jing.

Among those who opposed it, Liu Long was the strongest, and he even accused Yu Ren of being selfish to his face, because Yu Zhigao was his cousin. Yu Ren should be immediately removed from his position as a military advisor and all his powers in the Xu family should be revoked.

On the night when Yu Zhigao led the team to leave, there was a mess in the meeting hall of the Xu Group.

"People say I'm right. Although he Yu Ren helped us win this battle. However, this was not the credit of him Yu Ren alone. If there is no him, with the strength of our Xu family, we can still defeat Yu Zhigao.

And he used his power in our Xu family to do things for his personal benefit. May I ask Master Yu, how did you act like this, how did you get the right thing about the son of Keming, how did you get the right thing about the dead boss, and how did you get the right thing about all of us? ”

Everyone's eyes were focused on Yu Ren, and they wanted an explanation. However, Yu Ren did not explain.

"Right now, I can't tell you why I'm doing this. But I can assure you for sure that I, Yu Ren, did this completely out of consideration for the future development of our Xu family, and there was absolutely no selfishness. ”

"Since you have no selfish intentions, then you can say it! Tell us all why you're doing this. Why did you let Yu Zhigao go? Liu Long shouted.

"I ......" Yu Ren was about to speak, when he suddenly saw hundreds of brothers surrounding outside, and stopped again.

"Why, there's nothing to say! Selfishness is selfishness, and you don't admit it. Since you don't say it, you are admitting your selfishness. Brothers, Yu Ren is not a member of our Xu family, and he does not have the same deep feelings for our Xu family as we do. In my opinion, we are taking this opportunity today to remove him from his position as a military advisor, or at least we can't let him alone take over the power anymore. ”

Liu Long said, his eyes staring at Yu Ren.

Yu Ren was silent. was about to throw up his sleeves and leave, but Xu Qian on the side grabbed him.

"Uncle, don't talk about brother-in-law like that. He naturally has his reasons for letting Yu Zhigao go, and I believe he has no selfish intentions. It's just that there are some things that are inconvenient to tell us. ”

Liu Long snorted coldly, "You just protect him!" It's inconvenient to tell us. That means they don't trust us! Since he doesn't trust us like this, why should we trust him and put the power of life and death of the Xu family in his hands. In this case, we are not even more at ease.

I still mean that, let Yu Zhigao go, we can forgive him once. But it is absolutely impossible to let him alone support the power of the Xu family. You must know that the surname of the owner of this family is Xu Bu Yu. Whether we are pirates or maritime merchants, even if we become emperors one day in the future, it will be the Xu family, not his Yu family. Isn't that right? Liu Long shouted.

"Uncle, how can you say that! My brother-in-law was working hard for all of us for the sake of us, and he was almost sunk by officers and soldiers in the East China Sea in order to hold Yu Zhigao. Wouldn't you be so sorry for him when you say that! ”

Liu Long was about to refute, but Yu Ren suddenly said, "The words of the three masters are not unreasonable. As the saying goes: absolute power produces absolute corruption. Power is supposed to have checks and balances. I agree with the proposal of the three masters for decentralization.

Why don't we hold a meeting today and call all the leaders to discuss this matter. ”

Xu Qian hurriedly grabbed Yu Ren's hand, "Uncle just didn't understand the matter of letting Yu Zhigao go, brother-in-law, so he said such a thing." Brother-in-law, don't be angry. We all know that you are the savior of our Xu family. If it weren't for you, the Xu family would have long ceased to exist at this time. Let you take charge of the Xu family for your brother temporarily, this is everyone's unanimous opinion.

No matter when, we believe in you and support you! ”

Yu Ren shook his head, "Xiao Qian." I'm serious. In fact, if you don't mention this suggestion today, I will do it sooner or later. This question of decentralization is not a question of trust or distrust. It's a system, and it's not just against me. Anyone in my position should need such a check and balance. Only in this way can the foundation of our Xu family prosper and develop for a long time. ”

After listening to Yu Ren's words, there was silence below, whether it was those who supported Yu Ren or those who opposed him, no one would have thought that he would actually take the initiative to accept this proposal of decentralization. But at the same time, it also made those who were originally skeptical of him completely convinced of him.

"Then find another person and let him preside over the affairs of the Xu family with the military advisor." Huang Ji'an, who had been standing behind Xu Qian, said suddenly.

Liu Long narrowed his eyes when he heard this. "If that's the case, that's barely enough. I'm going to gather people and get ready for a meeting. ”

Not long after, the leaders of the Xu family, large and small, came, and everyone heard that they were going to choose another person to divide Yu Ren's power, and many people objected. Everyone felt that Yu Ren was their real leader now. Doing so has made many people worry about whether Yu Ren will no longer lead them.

Several battalion commanders who had escaped from Daqushan with Yu Ren stood up first, "Why do you want to withdraw the power of the division?" Our brothers' lives are saved by the military division, and if we want to withdraw the power of the military division, it is equivalent to asking for our brother's life. For the sake of all of us, the military advisor sacrificed his life and forgot his death, which is obvious to all.

Oh! Now that the situation is stable, you want to remove his rights? This is really rabbit dead dog cooking! I, Yang Biao, put my words here today, whoever wants to embarrass Yu Junshi is to have trouble with me Yang Biao, and I am Yang Biao's enemy. Unless you kill me, Yang Biao; Otherwise, no one can think of it. ”

After Yang Biao finished speaking excitedly, several people glared angrily at Liu Long, who was sitting not far from them. Before the meeting, they had also heard that this incident was completely due to Liu Long's intention to embarrass Yu Ren. Therefore, as soon as they came up, these people pointed the finger at Liu Long.

Of course, Liu Long understands that there are far more people in the Xu family and those who support Yu Ren than him. If you really want to talk about it, his current support in the Xu family is only less than one-fifth of Yu Ren's. Before the evacuation from Nansha, the situation was slightly better. But after this big change, many people have been co-opted by Yu Ren.

Liu Long felt that Yu Ren's growing power was getting stronger, so he decided to take advantage of Yu Ren's excellent opportunity to let Yu Zhigao go and pull him off the horse. Even if he can't, at least take away some of his power. In Liu Long wanted to come. At the moment, Xu Keming cannot personally serve the council. And he was the third leader of the Xu family, and Xu Hai, the second leader, rebelled again. If you want to find someone to check and balance Yu Ren, everyone will definitely choose themselves. That's why he's so enthusiastic. This is also a kind of selfishness on his part.

Of course, more of it is for the sake of his nephew Xu Keming. He was really afraid that Yu Ren's influence in the Xu family would become bigger and bigger, and eventually Xu Keming would become a puppet in name only. This is the fundamental reason why Liu Long has repeatedly sung against Yu Ren.
