When Hou Gang turned around, everyone bowed down again and said, "Hou Gang clan people meet the king!" The scene in front of him seemed to have a mysterious appeal, and Hou Gang's identity was no longer in doubt.

Hou Gang also saluted: "Fellow clansmen, please get up! I want to take me to study in the world when Lord Shi Huang took me to study in the world, and ordered me to return to the clan only after I have completed my studies, and it has been thirteen years. Over the years, I have relied on you to deal with the affairs of the clan, and everyone has worked hard!"

No one else spoke, only Hou Xian said: "What are I waiting for! Those who wield power and do things are nothing more than greedy for benefits. ”

Hou Gang knew who he was talking about, so he just smiled slightly, helped the elder up first, and after everyone got up, he said: "I have been studying abroad for many years, and I have no intention of being crowned the prince by the Son of Heaven, but I also don't want to see that the head of the clan is a greedy and vicious person, so there is today's matter." Lord Shi Huang said back then, when I return to my hometown, the ancestral shrine will be reopened, and I must have foreseen it. ”

He said that he was greedy and vicious, of course, referring to Lechang, and when he said this, his face sank and said: "Take Lechang down!" Without waiting for the Hougang clan to make a move, he couldn't help but kick Lechang out.

Why does Hou Gang have to clean up Lechang in the ancestral land, because if it is in Yincheng, Lechang has the protection of his personal guards as the city lord, and he can also mobilize the garrison of the city, if he really tears his face, it may cause unnecessary conflicts. But on this occasion, the head of the monarch will deal with the clan affairs, and others will not be able to interfere, and it is impossible for Lechang to bring the Chengkuo army here.

It was Le Chang's knee that he kicked, and he used it skillfully, and Le Chang happened to fly out and kneel in front of Hou Gang. Hou Gang looked down at him and said, "Lechang, are you guilty?"

Le Chang's head was covered with cold sweat, and the fat all over his body was trembling, but he still said stiffly: "You are the head of the king, I apologize for the previous offense!" But the head of the king has not returned for many years, and it is important to confirm the identity, and it is natural to be cautious in screening. ”

Many people present had long expected that Hou Gang would clean up Lechang after confirming the identity of the monarch, some people gloated, and some people secretly shook their heads. Because what Lechang has done can be big or small, he can't find too many mistakes on the surface. Hou Gang wanted to clean him up, but he immediately turned his face in public, and he couldn't help but look unbroad-minded.

Hou Gang scolded: "Do you really think that you can't find fault with what you have done? As you said, the monarch must confirm his identity when he returns to his hometown, but you and I have known each other since childhood, and ask ourselves, do you really not recognize me? Don't dare to recognize each other and don't want to recognize each other, those are two different things! How can there be a clansman like you if you don't recognize your relatives for the sake of selfish desires in your heart?

And even if you claim to be cautious, you shouldn't have that attitude. Even if you don't dare to recognize me immediately, you should first ask me about the past of the clan, and ask me to identify myself, and then ask the elders of the clan to screen me, and how do you do that?"

Speaking of this, Hou Gang sighed again and said, "If that's all, I, as the head of the monarch, can only scold you." However, the people present did not know that before I entered the city, I was intercepted by the Lianghuachuan monk Liang Jineng halfway. Liang Ji can tell me that there are only two ways to choose, one is to die, and the other is to worship him as a teacher and go to Lianghuachuan to cultivate, and leave a book to recommend you as the head of the king.

When I came, I knew that you had premeditated it, and you sent a monk to intercept and kill me halfway. Even if that Liangji can think more fully for you, he wants to take me captive, and intends to force me to resign from his apprenticeship, what a good calculation. ”

Le Chang was immediately stunned when he heard this, the reason why he still dared to be stubborn was that he thought that the conspiracy had not been discovered by Hou Gang, and thought that Liang Jineng had not intercepted Hou Gang. Unexpectedly, Hou Gang had already seen Liang Jineng, and appeared in Yuncheng unharmed.

The people present were also in chaos, but they never expected Hou Lechang to do such a thing. Hou Xian stepped forward and gave Hou Lechang a cane, and scolded: "You brute, you dare to collude with outsiders to assassinate the head of our clan!"

This crutch was pumped on his back, as if Hou Lechang was suddenly woken up, he raised his head and said sharply: "I don't believe it, no, I don't admit it! There is evidence in this matter, so where can Liang Ji be?" He really can't believe it, if Liang Ji can really find Hou Gang, how can he get out with Hou Gang's ability? And this matter must not be admitted, otherwise it will be a capital crime, as long as Liang Ji can not be present, he is ready to die and not admit it.

Hou Gang said lightly: "Liang Jineng has been captured by my friends...... Taiyi Daoyou, let people out and confront them. ”

Taiyi took out a small bottle out of thin air, and shook the mouth of the bottle against the open space, only to hear the sound of "poof", and a big living person fell to Hou Lechang's side, which was Liang Jineng, whose magical power had been sealed.

Liang Jineng suddenly fell in front of everyone's eyes, and there was an exclamation around him. Hou Lechang saved a person twenty years ago, and this person turned out to be an immortal chief in the Lianghua River, and now he has become an elder of the sect, which is one of the few good deeds Hou Lechang has done in his life, how can he not show off to others. Almost everyone had heard of it, including Hou Gang when he was a teenager, and many people present knew Liang Jineng.

Liang Ji Neng suddenly fell to the ground, and after seeing what kind of place this was, he also understood his situation, and without waiting for others to speak, he looked at Hou Gang and said sadly: "Since I was captured today, I have nothing to say." This is my private matter, and I did it to repay my kindness, and it has nothing to do with the Lianghuachuan sect or the people of the Jiqiu clan. Ji can punish himself for his sins, and pay for his life!"

Then he turned his head to Lechang and said: "If you hadn't rescued you back then, Jineng would have been a dry bone on the side of the road, how could you enjoy the good world for another twenty years?

The tiger baby secretly said that it was not good, but it couldn't be stopped, and as soon as the words fell, Liang Jineng fell to the ground and was angry on the spot. Taiyi didn't hurt him, but just sealed his magical power. And Liang Ji was able to forcibly break through the seal with his cultivation, and in this way, he broke it himself.

Everyone present was amazed, many of them knew Liang Jineng, even if they didn't know it, they had heard of the monk's name, and they had to respectfully call Ji Neng Immortal Elder when they met in the past, but they didn't expect him to end up like this today. When Liang Ji was dying, he also sent out a divine thought, he seemed to want to make a self-justification, but in the end he only told about the past.

Liang Jineng was born in the Jiqiu clan, the territory of the Jiqiu clan and the Hougang clan are adjacent to each other, and the two tribes have many interactions with each other on weekdays, and even many people intermarry, and they are very familiar with each other. When he was a teenager, he was taken by his master to Lianghua River to cultivate, and when he just broke through the four realms of cultivation twenty years ago, he left the mountains to travel and practice.

He encountered a water demon in the river and devoured the fishermen, and took action to kill the demon, but he was not an opponent, and after a big battle, he was seriously injured and fled, and finally fainted on the side of the road. Hou Lechang had just been appointed as the lord of the city, and when he was in high spirits, he was found by a car and rescued him.

After Liang Ji was able to recover from his injuries, he returned to the mountain to cultivate, and finally killed the water demon with his own hands and broke through the Dacheng cultivation. Of course, he was grateful to Hou Lechang for saving his life, and promised that if Hou Lechang had something to do, he would swear to help him. And Hou Lechang also deliberately befriended this Dacheng monk, and every year in the name of the city lord would send heavy gifts to Lianghuachuan, and the personal relationship between the two has always been excellent.

Not long ago, Hou Lechang found Liang Ji Neng and asked him to do something, intercepting and killing Hou Gang on the way home. Liang Ji Neng nodded and agreed in order to repay the grace of saving his life, and also to keep the promise of the year. When he found out that Hou Gang was just an ordinary person, he had another idea, that is, to take Hou Gang away, and ordered Hou Gang to leave a letter to recommend Hou Lechang as the king's head.

Liang Ji was able to do this, on the one hand, because he was not a vicious person and did not want to kill innocents indiscriminately. On the other hand, the more important reason is that he also has more consideration for Hou Lechang and himself. If Hou Gang is really killed, someone will definitely track him down, and if the truth is found, the consequences will be unimaginable. And acting according to his plan is foolproof.

It's a pity that both Hou Lechang and Liang Jineng are too taken for granted, and they are all taken in the ancestral land of the Hou Gang clan at this moment, and the conspiracy has also been exposed. Liang Ji was embarrassed for a while, he was ashamed of his promise, and he had no shame to face the Hougang clan, so he simply committed suicide on the spot.

Huwa couldn't help but sigh secretly, he didn't have a good impression of this Lianghuachuan monk, only that he was Hou Lechang's accomplice. But in any case, Liang Jineng is a Dacheng monk after all, although his work is not above board, but he is not ambiguous, and he understands that what he should face is always faced.

Hou Gang had no choice but to shake his head, and asked Hou Xian again: "Uncle, you have the longest generation in the clan. Hou Lechang wants to intercept and kill the head of his clan, how should he deal with it according to the family law?"

Hou Xianfang was already stunned, and at this moment, he said heavily with his cane: "Cane death!"

Hou Lechang, who was already frightened to the ground, suddenly let out a cry like killing a pig: "Hou Gang, you can't just kill me like this! I am the city lord appointed by the Son of Heaven, even if I want to punish the crime, it should be ordered by the Son of Heaven!"

Hou Gang looked at him, his expression didn't know whether to pity or ridicule, and said slowly: "Lechang, you have also been a city lord for twenty years, don't you even understand this? What I want to practice today is the clan family law, and the Son of Heaven can't interfere, otherwise how can I be respected by all departments?...... Brother Shiji, the matter of practicing the family law will be entrusted to you, and the next candidate for the master of Yuncheng City recommended by the Hougang clan will also be you. ”

After saying this, Hou Gang walked out of the courtyard, and Hou Lechang's miserable cries for help and begging for mercy came from behind him, and then stopped abruptly, and his mouth should be sealed.

Hou Gang didn't witness the process of killing Lechang with his own eyes, but this city lord definitely couldn't leave alive. In this era, the rule of the Son of Heaven could not interfere in the internal affairs of the tribe, and the Hougang connoisseur's staff killed Lechang, which was completely legal in this case.

Hou Gang, Huwa and others went to another house to rest, there was not much time, Hou Shiji helped Hou Xian to come, followed by representatives of various branch families. They came to ask Hou Gang for instructions, Hou Lechang has been killed with a cane, but there are still a lot of follow-up matters to deal with, and the head of the monarch must take the idea.
