Chapter 14: The Clan Meeting

So suddenly?

Wang Xing was a little uncomfortable. But suddenly remembering what Xiao Rou had said about related topics, he realized that when he was bored and cultivating, there were also major events happening in the family.

"The family meeting was held once ten years ago, and since then, I have rarely seen my eldest brother."

The clan meeting in Wang Xing's memory, once it is held, will inevitably produce a goal, and everyone will work together to make it happen. Even the brothers with whom their father had a bad relationship at the beginning would fully support the clan council's decision.

It was no one else who came to inform, it was the dead soldier left by Chen Long for him, and the other party left the courtyard to cover the door after reporting the news, and if Wang Xing went, he would follow, and if he didn't go, he would continue to guard the door.

Of course Wang Xing is going.

He stood up, glanced down at the neat practice clothes on his body, and did not change them again. The dead soldiers arranged by Long Chen stayed, and Wang Xing asked Xiao Rou to lead the way, and walked with the four sword-wielding guards summoned to the courtyard where the clan meeting was held.

In Wang Xing's memory, the Wang family in Quan'an City was not big at first, with five courtyards, one lived by his parents, one lived by him and his eldest brother, one lived by his servants, and the rest were guest rooms and warehouses.

Different from the dynasty of Wang Xing's previous life, there are bedrooms, firewood rooms, and then surrounded by walls to count as courtyards.

The courtyard here has a standard shape, the courtyard should have a large enough flowers and trees, the courtyard should have more than 300 square meters of open space, more than eight rooms, divided into two parts, one is the inner courtyard where the master lives, and the outer courtyard where the guests live.

At this time, under the leadership of Xiao Rou, Wang Xing walked through the winding corridor and passed by the pond bridge with a width of 100 meters. Nearly a kilometer has been traveled.

Seeing the strangeness in Wang Xing's eyes, Xiaorou kept introducing.

Which area was expanded by the family a few years ago, and the nearby courtyard was bought; Where is the "Yongjin Pool" that can be obtained by digging up the ground after the guidance of the feng shui master, which can make the family's wealth roll in.

"Before you know it, the family has expanded to such a big size." Wang Xing sighed in his heart.

In the past few years, the eldest brother has studied business with his father, and he has studied hard in his ancestral house in the countryside. Although he has no worries about food and clothing, and he can usually practice swordsmanship on horseback and archery, there are many sage classics on his back.

There are things that are pressing on his head, and he doesn't have time to understand the family.

However, it is also because of the lack of memory in this part, Wang Xing's main memory and spiritual thinking retain the habits of his previous life.

Feeling that his home is good, Wang Xing watched all the way, and soon came to the place where he was doing business, Heimutang.

The courtyard where the temple is located is very large, surrounded by a large open space, and when you enter from the main entrance, you can see a building that is as dark as a castle on a hill.

The boxy five-meter-high wall is made of black stone mined in Montenegro outside the city, and the whole body is dark and solemn.

It is rumored that the black stone is a special stone soaked in blood after the ancient serpent was killed. This stone is heavy and cold, cool in summer and cold in winter. The black stone stone is hard, and once the family is attacked by a master, they can hide in it and have more life.

Wang Xing stepped on the cobblestone ground in front of the hall, and there were many people standing on the lawns on both sides, roughly speaking, about sixty or seventy.

Middle-aged and elderly people wearing all kinds of strong clothes are either strong and have a sparkle in their eyes, or they have big shoulders and round waists, and they carry weapons such as sledgehammers and swords at hand.

Many people had evil in their eyes when they saw Wang Xing, and their expressions were not good.

Being targeted by this group of people, Wang Xing felt as if he had been pricked by a needle. This is that after his strength is stronger, his five senses are more acute, and the more threatening people target him, the stronger that sense of danger will become.

In other words, he was once targeted by so many masters, and he would definitely feel uncomfortable.

But now Wang Xing just has a sense of threat. If it was really a life-and-death fight, he summoned ten sword-wielding guards to do it, and he didn't dare to say that he could kill all of them, and he felt that he could kill half of them.

Wang Xing skipped these people and guessed in his heart that they might be masters recruited and cultivated by various branches of the family.

As Wang Xing came to the door, two four-meter-high, two-meter-wide dark thick doors were open, and the two strong men with straight backs and single knives hanging on their waists saw that it was Wang Xing, and took a step back to get out of the way.

Behind the two of them is a spacious flat field.

A group of men, women, and children, who looked at least three points similar to Wang Xing, were scattered in the spacious courtyard and talking.

Twelve meters ahead is the six-step staircase of the indoor lobby, and when you enter it, you can see that in the spacious lobby, there are twelve Taishi chairs on the left and right, facing a main seat. This lobby has a peculiar appearance, there are no front walls and windows, and the people in the house can talk and do things, and the people in the courtyard can hear and see clearly.

As Wang Xing walked in with a sword guard, the thick door of the Black Eye Hall slowly closed.

Click! Boom!

"Ahem, now that everyone is here, I announce that the clan will begin!"

It was an old man who spoke, standing behind the main seat facing the door. Wang Xing has the impression that this is the old man of the older generation of the Wang family. Twenty-five positions are the heads of the branches. The old man announced that he would start to step back and leave, not participating in the decision.

The clan will begin.

First of all, Wang Xing's father, who was sitting on the main seat, stood up and said something.

"Whether it is in the ancestral house, Dufei City or Quan'an City, every important hall has a word. Everyone listens to it every time they meet, and I'm going to say it again this time. ”

"The meaning of the eye is to let us open our eyes and see farther! Whether the moment is happy or sad, open your eyes again, because the clan will open again, and the time has come to decide the fate of our clan! ”

Wang Xing didn't speak, and silently looked at the head of the family's father, Wang Yunfei, to make an impassioned speech.

At the end of the opening, all branches began to report on the gains and losses of the industry. There are seventeen branches of the family, and thirteen of them have only a few or even one small shop, which can be regarded as occupying space in the surrounding city, collecting information and keeping it as a backhand.

It is mainly the main family and the other three, and the gains and losses of the four nearby neighboring cities.

Simply reporting the industry, these days the debate is once again on the table.

"Big brother, it's still the same sentence, there are mysterious people sniping at our industry. Not only Jeonan City, but also the four major veins were attacked by different sizes. ”

"It's been getting worse and worse in the past three months, and now it's impossible to open. No one dared to deliver the goods we wanted, whoever sent them was robbed, and their relatives were also attacked. ”

"Big brother, you can endure the attack on your son, I admire it. But the big guys have relatives who have been attacked, maybe next time it will be our turn, and it is really not good not to come up with an explanation! ”

"Uncle, don't you have something to do with the county master, this matter not only involves us, the eight alliances promoted by the county master have all had accidents, and that one has no explanation?"

According to the seating order, everyone asked the questions in their hearts one by one.

Wang Xing also knew now that behind his attack, it was actually the entire clan, no, many families in the entire Quan'an City were attacked.

After everyone's inquiry, the head of the family, Wang Yunfei, finally spoke slowly.

It was only at the end of the hearing that everyone's faces changed.

"What you asked, I have already gotten answers from the county magistrate with several other families. You all also understand that when we saw the county lord newly arriving here, we would inevitably suppress the three city lords, and our small families would be able to take advantage of the situation to develop. ”

No one refuted this, and they all had to admit that Wang Yunfei could take a fancy to this point and take refuge decisively, so that their Wang family developed like this in a short period of time, and they had a strong vision.

"But the three city lords, who have been entrenched in the local area for hundreds of years, how can it be a land snake that can be easily suppressed by a strong dragon?"

Wang Yunfei smiled bitterly: "The attack we have received now, according to the county master, is the revenge of the three city lords. Not only us, but all the families who invested in the county lord's command were the targets of retaliation. ”

When he heard the truth, he was in an uproar. Even a few people who had already guessed had an expression of disbelief on their faces.

"The county lord is proficient in the way of sages, and there are masters around him, not to mention the behemoth of the dynasty, how dare the city lord!?"

"No, there are 3,000 soldiers and horses of the Tiger Battalion stationed outside the city, and they can dispatch troops if they don't agree with each other."

"The county government has ten classes of head catchers, that is, ten kone masters, and three hundred strong men in the class. Not to mention that the county magistrate is also supported by a concentration master above KONE, plus a team of dead soldiers who have been formed to hunt and kill KONE in recent years. How dare the city lord rebel against the county lord? ”

No matter what aspect of the group of people, they couldn't figure out why the city lord was so irrational and suddenly acted against the county lord.

Silence lasted for a long time.

Wang Yunfei, who was still the head of the family, said in a low voice: "The rebellion in the south is rebellious, you know, right? ”

"I've heard of it."

"It has happened before."

"Won't it be suppressed soon?"

A group of people said they understood, but they didn't pay much attention to it.

Wang Yunfei sighed and said: "There is no news about the official face, but as far as I know, the uprising is getting bigger and bigger, and now it has swept most of the state. The army that the dynasty had prepared was scattered, and the dynasty was furious and sent another 200,000 troops. ”

Most of the state!?

This time, even Wang Xing was shocked. The White Jade Dynasty, where he lived, had a total of seventeen states. It seems to be very small, but the Baiyu Dynasty has a vast territory and a large population, even the smallest state, there are more than two hundred cities like Quan'an City, not to mention the big city is even more populous, and the masters are like clouds.

Most of the state was swept away, and there were so many people involved and so many incidents that Wang Xing couldn't imagine how terrifying that kind of thing was.

"If the uprising happens around me......" Wang Xing thought a little in his heart, the kone martial artist took the lead in the rebellion, and the reclusive god fixing master killed the kone martial artist everywhere, with his current ability, it would not be much better than cannon fodder.

In the dullness, the third uncle spoke.

"Big brother, the uprising you said is indeed terrifying, but that place is a state away from us, what does it matter to us?"

Hearing this, the people who were terrified in their hearts also reacted, isn't it still far away from them, what are you afraid of.

Wang Yunfei shook his head when he saw the performance of his clansmen.

"This has been going on for more than half a year, and we in business can pretend not to care. But the city lords from all over the country found that they paid tribute to the dynasty every year, and they had to be suppressed by the people appointed by the dynasty, but the dynasty couldn't suppress them, would you have some ideas in your hearts? ”

Everyone was stunned, and some people wanted to open their mouths to defend themselves. Wang Yunfei slammed his palm on the table.

Boom!

Wang Yunfei stood up and shouted, "Don't forget the ancestral teachings!" Open your eyes and see! We are not sitting here today to make excuses for the dynasty, but this kind of thing has happened! Use your brains to good use and come up with a solution! ”

Everyone was shocked, and whether they saw the reality clearly or were not sober-minded, they had to face the reality.

The sense of security born of strength in Wang Xing's heart was muted again.

Wang Xing looked at the people in the seat who were qualified to decide, and he wanted to see how these people would decide how the family should go, and whether they could show him the way.
