Chapter 43 Rebuilding Perak Hall
Lei Dongtian sighed long and continued: "At that time, I didn't dare to make a sound, and I passed out soon after I was seriously injured. Later, I don't know how long it took to wake up, and when I heard someone walking on the cliff, I shouted for help, and was rescued by some local hunters who were collecting firewood. ”
The fourth uncle of the Lei family asked, "Since you have been rescued, why don't you go back to Perak Hall?"
Lei Dongtian smiled miserably: "In addition to my broken arm, I also suffered a very serious internal injury, and I was able to get out of bed after recuperating for more than a month." Originally, I also planned to return to Perak Hall and expose the true face of the third child, but after inquiring, where is there still Perak Hall?"
He paused and looked at the fourth elder of the Lei family and said: "It turns out that the third brother returned to Jiangnan Thunderbolt Hall after my eldest brother and I disappeared, and the thief shouted to catch the thief to announce that my eldest brother and I had suffered misfortune by the attack of the Tangmen in Shuzhong, and kept saying that he wanted to avenge us. At that time, it was you, the uncles and elders, who strongly supported the third child, united many Lei family branches, changed the original Jiangnan Thunderbolt Hall to the Great Thunder Gate, and also supported him as the head of the Great Thunder Gate, and under the banner of revenge for us, began to compete for hegemony with the Tang Gate in Shuzhong for the past 20 years. ”
He looked directly at the four elders of the Lei family with blazing eyes: "May I ask my uncles, under such circumstances, even if I return to the Lei family and tell the truth, for the sake of the reputation of the Lei family and the face of your elders, will you believe my words? I'm afraid that even I will not be able to protect myself." ”
The four old men couldn't help but bow their heads a little ashamedly, yes, at that time, the third elder of the Lei family, Lei Potian, said that the Tang Sect in Shuzhong set up an ambush and killed the hall master of the Thunderbolt Hall, it was not without flaws, and there was no suspicion. The reason why everyone chose to believe him is not only because he is the younger brother of the Thunderbolt Hall Master, but more importantly, I am afraid that for many years, Lei Jingtian, as the Thunderbolt Hall Master, let go of the feud between the Lei family and the Tang Sect in Shuzhong, and turned to cooperate with the Tang Sect, which has long caused the secret dissatisfaction of these Lei Men side branches.
Lei Potian played the banner of revenge at this time and hit it off with them, and after the establishment of the Great Thunder Gate, the momentum and strength of the Lei family also reached unprecedented strength.
In such a situation, even if Lei Dongtian returns to the Lei family and reveals the truth, I am afraid that no one will believe it, and no one will be willing to believe it at all.
Lei Dongtian sighed: "So if I want to live, I can only quietly contact the Tang Sect in Shuzhong and seek their protection." Fortunately, Tangmen agreed to my request and arranged me in a mountain forest outside Qingshi Town in Shuzhong. So for the past 20 years, I have been hunting and collecting firewood there every day for a living, and I have lived incognito for 20 years. And the people of the Tang Sect did not take advantage of the opportunity to force me to do anything against the Lei family, in fact, in the past twenty years, they have never asked me anything except to help me in my life. ”
The fourth uncle of the Lei family asked in a deep voice, "Then why did you choose to walk with them today?"
Lei Dongtian sneered: "Originally, I thought that I would live in the mountains and wilderness silently, so it is best for me, the third child, and the Lei family." It's a pity that the third child refused to let me go, and sent Lei Li to Shuzhong to find my seclusion. In addition, I saw Zhuo'er being harmed by the third child and half of her body at a young age, even if it is to protect myself, I can no longer escape. I can only stand up and seek justice for the things of the year, for the eldest brother, for me, and for Zhuo'er!"
Regarding Lei Li's death, the news had already spread throughout the Lei family, and the four elders had already known about it, but Lei Li died because he found Lei Dongtian's whereabouts, but they didn't know anything about it. After listening to Lei Dongtian's words, they were speechless for a while.
The four elders began to whisper and discuss for a while, and it seemed that a decision had finally been made, and the fourth uncle of the Lei family stepped forward and said to Tang Da: "Tang eldest son, can you let the old man talk to the third elder of the Lei family alone?"
Seeing that Tang Da hesitated slightly, he immediately said: "Please rest assured, now that we have known the truth of the matter, the third child of the Lei family is our own person, of course, we will do our best to ensure his safety." ”
Tang Da smiled slightly: "In this case, this is the conversation of the Lei family's own people, so naturally you have no reason to object." ”
The fourth uncle of the Lei family nodded to Tang Da, thanked him, turned his head to Lei Dongtian and said, "Please come into the house for a while." ”
Lei Dongtian's face was expressionless, and he strode over Lei Potian's corpse on the ground with his head held high, and strode into the house. The four elders of the Lei family then followed, with a heavy face, and closed the door with their backhands.
None of them noticed that the moment the door closed, Tang Da looked down at the corpse of Lei Potian on the ground, which was already getting cold, and the corners of his mouth showed a somewhat mocking and somewhat smug smile.
In the room is a hall, and in addition to the main seat in the center, there are two rows of Taishi chairs on both sides. The four elders of the Lei family sat down on the righteous sons on both sides, while Lei Dongtian stood in the middle with his head held high, without fear.
The four elders of the Lei family looked at him and didn't speak for a long time, and finally, the fourth uncle asked, "Now that you have a big revenge, what are your plans next?"
Lei Dongtian smiled proudly: "Now that I have nothing to worry about, what do the four uncles want to do with me?"
The fourth uncle said lightly: "What do you think we will do?"
Lei Dongtian said loudly: "The Lei family motto, the children of the Lei family are not allowed to fight with each other, if there is anyone who kills or injures a brother of the same clan, he will be expelled from the door wall and die under the knife." Although I killed the third child to take revenge, but in the end, he is a child of the Lei family, and I am willing to accept the guilt. ”
The fourth uncle blinked a few times: "But we promised Tang Da to keep you safe, you have now made a miraculous contribution to the Tang family, if we dispose of you, how can he give up?"
Lei Dongtian frowned: "What did the fourth uncle say? I killed the third child for the Tang Sect, I didn't in the past, I won't now, and I will never serve the Tang Sect in the future, I will always be a descendant of the Lei family!"
The fourth uncle looked at his eyes, as if to see the truth of his words, and nodded for a while: "I believe you." Since you didn't work for the Tang Sect, then today's matter can only be regarded as the Lei family cleaning up the portal by themselves, and you don't have to die. ”
Lei Dongtian was a little surprised: "Fourth Uncle said that he wouldn't deal with me according to family rules?"
The fourth uncle snorted from his nostrils: "Deal with you, do you think we are all old and confused?"
Lei Dongtian hesitated and asked, "But, after all, the third child died in my hands, isn't this a violation of family rules......"
The fourth uncle smiled a little slyly: "If you want to kill the children of the Lei family, he Lei Potian betrayed his compatriots twenty years ago, and killed the eldest brother Lei Jingtian with his own hands, which has long been intolerable by the family rules, and he is going to be expelled from the door, and he can no longer be regarded as a child of the Lei family." ”
Lei Dongtian was really a little overjoyed: "Thank you, fourth uncle, thank you." ”
The fourth uncle interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "Don't be in a hurry to thank you first, it's not too late to thank you after you take charge of the Lei family." ”
Lei Dongtian was stunned for a moment: "What did the fourth uncle say? Let me be in charge of the Lei family?"
The fourth uncle said: "Your eldest brother Lei Potian is the hall master of the Jiangnan Thunderbolt Hall, and your third brother Lei Potian is the head hall master of the Great Thunder Gate, both of whom are characters of the mighty rivers and lakes. It's a pity that they are all gone now, and now only you are the only one left in the three heroes of the Thunder Gate, since you can avenge your eldest brother with a blade, you should take over the Lei family no matter how reasonable it is, whether you want to restore your eldest brother's Thunderbolt Hall back then, or continue to use the name of the Great Thunder Gate. ”
Lei Dongtian didn't know what to say for a while, and he couldn't speak.
The fourth uncle said with a serious expression: "But you must agree to one condition for us. ”
Lei Dongtian asked, "What conditions?"
The fourth uncle's eyes were full of fierce light: "Our Lei family and the Tang Sect in Shuzhong have a deep enmity like the sea, and there are many blood debts, no matter what name you use after you take over the Lei family, you must not learn what peaceful cooperation your eldest brother and the Tang Sect talk about, you must continue to lead the Lei family and the Tang Sect to fight to the end, and never die! Do you agree?"
Lei Dongtian's mind boomed, the Tangmen of Shuzhong had sheltered himself in the past twenty years, and he had never taken the opportunity to blackmail himself to do anything, and he had already done his best. It can almost be said that without the Tangmen in Shuzhong, he would never be alive today. But now these elders of the Lei family are forcing themselves to lead the Lei Men to deal with the Tang Sect, isn't this revenge?
He looked back at the four elders of the Lei family who were sitting, their eyes were all staring at him waiting for an answer, and there was a bit of fierce murderous aura in their eyes. From their clenched fists, it could be concluded that if he did not agree to this condition and insisted on cooperating with the Tang Sect, they would immediately strike.
These four uncles are all members of the Lei family's branch, and they are also the people who control the situation of the Lei family, their relatives and friends, especially the only son of the fourth uncle, all died in the hands of the Tang family, and they all have an uncommon hatred with the Tang Sect in Shuzhong.
Cold sweat broke out on Lei Dongtian's forehead, and he felt that the air around him seemed to be frozen, as if there was an invisible huge pressure, pulling him and tearing him apart.
The fourth uncle's voice revealed a thick murderous intent: "How is it?
Lei Dongtian felt that his voice was so ethereal, as if it was not made by himself: "I am a child of the Lei family, of course I have to fight against the Tang Sect in Shuzhong to the end." ”
The murderous aura and pressure around him suddenly disappeared, the tense bodies of the four elders of the Lei family relaxed, and Lei Dongtian felt a sense of powerlessness like prostration, and gasped for breath.
The fourth uncle nodded with satisfaction and asked, "Then do you hope that in the future, the Lei family will continue to use the Great Thunder Gate or change back to the name of Thunderbolt Hall?"
After all, the Great Thunder Gate was founded by Lei Potian, and Lei Dongtian replied with some trepidation: "It's better to change back to Jiangnan Thunderbolt Hall." ”
The fourth uncle thought for a while and said: "That's okay, change back to the name of Perak Hall so that the Tang Sect is more likely to be paralyzed, we can hold your succession ceremony here, invite Tang Da to participate in the ceremony, and take him down on top of the ceremony, it will definitely be a heavy blow to the Tang Sect." ”
Lei Dongtian didn't dare to speak, so he could only bow his head and respond: "Yes." ”
The four elders of the Lei family nodded to each other, stood up, pushed open the door and walked out of the house, Lei Dongtian followed behind with his head down.
The fourth uncle stood outside the door of the house and announced loudly: "From today onwards, the name of the Great Lei Gate will be abolished, and all the Lei family will support Lei Dongtian to take over the position of the head of the Jiangnan Thunderbolt Hall. ”
The black-clothed people around all knelt on the ground and said in unison, "See the main hall master!"
The fourth uncle smiled and hugged his fist at Tang Da and said: "Our hall will hold a name change and hall master succession ceremony here in three days. At that time, the cooperation between the two companies will be discussed. ”
Tang Da returned the salute and said: "Dare not obey your fate." ”
Things changed so quickly that all the people in the Tang Sect in the courtyard were stunned, and Tang Yu couldn't help but look at Tang Da, who was looking at the corpse of Lei Potian on the ground, with a meaningful smile on his face.
