Chapter 74: The Family Council

Early the next morning, a deep house compound in the east of the city became particularly lively, and the families who came in and out were all excited.

There are proud and frustrated, some family members are bored and squatting aside, not because they don't want to help, but because they are worried about their next fate, a few people whispered, with a worried face.

"You said that the young master of the family was elected today, what can we do with our brothers, who doesn't know that we are the eldest young master's people on weekdays?"

"Don't say it, this time the eldest young master is planted, and now the old lady refuses to come out to help the eldest young master say a good word. ”

One of them slammed his fist on the pillar next to him quite angrily, "I don't believe that the young master would steal that letter at all!"

The people on the side hurriedly comforted him: "You don't believe it, do you say we will believe it?" Who doesn't know that this is a bureau, but our young master can't tell clearly, now the old lady is so angry that he is sick, and the old master is also biased towards the second young master. ”

"Hey, do you think the second young master and the third young master will grab it? After all, there is only one young master, they used to partner with the eldest young master, and now the second lady and the third lady are all supported by their mother's family, unlike our eldest young master, who is alone, hey!"

"Shhh

"Hey, what do you hear, it won't be long before we'll be sent to the Frontier to manage chores, and we'll never have a chance to come back. ”

Hearing this, a group of family members lowered their heads as if they had acquiesced.

At this time, a family member standing at the back pointed, his eyes flashed, he moved his body and quickly left the crowd, walking briskly along the remote path of the compound.

He flashed into a courtyard, and after a stick of incense, he walked out of the courtyard with a smile on his face, when a dark shadow flashed, and a hand firmly grasped his neck, and the housekeeper squeezed out a voice from his throat: "Who are you? Do you know where this is?"

The other party was also wearing a family clothes, with a black square scarf covering his face, and a pair of eyes exposed, staring indifferently at the family in his hand.

"Who did you just go to meet?"

A trace of horror flashed in the expression of the captured family, and then he sneered: "Don't want to know!"

At this time, a magical force made his mouth always open, and he couldn't close it, and naturally he couldn't talk about suicide.

"Are you curious, why did your body lose control?" Seeing that Jiading's pupils dilated a little, the man whispered: "Yes, I am an immortal cultivator, you know what to do, right? Be honest, otherwise ......"

After a while, a maid passed by with a plate of snacks, and when she saw this scene, she just wanted to scream, when she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her mind, and she immediately fainted.

A tall figure walked out and took down the black scarf, it was Wu Fan.

Wu Fan said to himself: "I didn't expect the family struggle in the ancient novel to be so interesting, a second lady's person is actually doing things for the third lady, it seems that tomorrow's dispute between the young family heads will be very interesting." ”

"However, this Bai Yufeng is also an interesting person, and he would make such a decision, but it's okay, let's go see the fat man first. ”

Wu Fan lowered the brim of his hat, lowered his head and walked in one direction, he didn't know when there was a pinch of beard on his face, and his skin became sallow, this is the simplest disguise technique given to him by the old man, it is quite easy to use, it is impossible to deceive the monk, but it is tried and tested to deceive the mortal clan.

Near noon, in a hall at the back of the entire compound, there were many people sitting upright, all dressed in brocade clothes, with different expressions, or smiling, proud, lost, or sad, all different.

An old man in fancy clothes stood up, looked around at everyone, and coughed lightly: "Everyone, today is a big day for our Bai family, everyone should take it seriously." ”

As he spoke, he hugged his fist towards the east and said, "For Your Majesty, for the sake of Tianhuo, I will never give up!"

He hugged his fist towards the south and said: "For the inheritance of my Bai family's ancestors and ancestors, I must think twice." ”

After putting down his hands, he glanced at the second young master, and then said confidently: "For the future of the Bai family, you will jointly elect a young family master today, and the family master has already told me that today's affairs will be fully presided over by me." ”

"Then, you can start nominating, I'll come first, I support the second young master, the second young master is an adult, mature and steady, has always been well received by everyone, the old man thinks that it is the best choice for the young master!"

As soon as the words fell, there was a sound of echo, and the second young master's face was also a little proud, bending his eyes to identify himself as the young family master, looking at the eyes of some clan elders around him and even with some family master's care.

At this time, a clan elder stood up and said: "Although the second young master is excellent, the background of the second lady's family is not enough to support our Bai family to go further, but the third young master is different, the third young master's grandfather is the general of Zhenbei in the current dynasty, and my Bai family has always lived in the temple, but it is rarely involved in the army." ”

"Hey, this is wrong, our Bai family originally started as a civil official, and there were seven generations of prime ministers, if you meddle in the military at this time, Your Majesty will inevitably be suspicious, this may be a disaster for my Bai family!"

"Yes, yes, our Bai family's protΓ©gΓ©s are all over the world, so why should we care about these things that don't belong to our sphere of influence in the first place. ”

"What do you mean by this? Every time the old lady of our family is bullied by the general in the court, isn't it because our Bai family has no military power?"

"You are crazy, you are going to kill the Bai family!"

"You're a traitor!"

......

All of a sudden, there was a commotion in the whole hall, and the old man who presided over it shouted several times, but it was impossible to convince everyone.

At this time, an abrupt voice suddenly sounded: "I support the little master!"

The hall suddenly became silent, and then the hall burst into laughter, and many people began to laugh at the person who spoke up.

"Lao Li, although you are a meritorious service of our Bai family and have been privileged to vote in the parliament, you have to remember that you can't vote randomly!"

"Lao Li, you, too, hahaha, you support the little master, don't you know that the little master is still underage?"

"Lao Li, you won't be sent by the Li family, right?"

A middle-aged man lowered his head, his face flushed, but his eyes flashed with determination.

The second young master looked at the man with some doubts, he knew that this person had been supporting the eldest brother before, and now it was impossible for the eldest brother to compete for the position of the head of the family, and now, what did it mean to suddenly support the most hopeless young master?

The third young master patted the table and said with a presumptuous smile: "The little brother has not grown up, let him be the head of the young family, do you think that a few of us who are elder brothers have no ability?"

As soon as the words fell, a trace of cruelty flashed in his eyes, and there was obviously a threat in his words.
