Yu Chengen's fiftieth birthday, because of this incident, lived very coldly, that night a birthday scene, Yu Chengen watched it with a gloomy face, waved his sleeves and left the table, making the people sitting with him look at each other.

However, the governor's envoy Wang Shuang personally went to Yejiazhuang to exert pressure, Yu Chengen felt a little settled, so he drank in his own courtyard, saying that Yu Zidi, the current chief manager, because of the inspection of the grain warehouse, found that due to the recent continuous rain, the grain was a little moldy, and he was going to come over to tell Yu Chengen.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw the newly promoted steward He Nianxu, holding a document in his hand, sweating, and hurriedly rushed in, so he asked, "What's wrong, so panicked?"

He Nianxu was thirty years old, his face was pale, and his tone was heavy: "Lord Wang went to Nanlian Mountain, but he didn't even get in, I heard that Lord Wang was anxious and angry, and vomited blood on the spot." ”

"That's it, Ye Qing went to the county seat and asked the head of the family to withdraw immediately with his officials, and transfer the jurisdiction of the county town to the Governor's Mansion within two days, otherwise, he would lead his troops to take the ......"

"Seventh Master, you have to go to the head of the family immediately and talk about this matter quickly. ”

"What?" Yu Zidi was startled, hurriedly took over the text, opened it and looked at it, and was stunned after just one glance.

This is a Taoist book, due to the urgency of the matter, the writer's handwriting is sloppy, and there are only a few hundred words, but the matter is very clear!

The more Yu Zi looked at it, the more shocked he became, he paced two steps with the document in his hand, and said: "This is a big matter, you go inside and present this article to the head of the family!"

He Nianxu bowed down and said: "This is a big deal, it seems that it is better for the seventh master to tell it personally." ”

Yu Ziqi got up, patted He Nianxu on the shoulder, returned the paperwork to him, and said: "This matter is big and urgent, but now I have to think about how to speak in front of my brother, so you go in first." ”

He Nianxu thought about it and felt that what Yu Zi said made sense, so he didn't speak anymore and ran inside.

As soon as He Nianxu went, Yu Zidi didn't stop for a moment, immediately turned to a door, walked along the corridor, saw that there was no one around, and immediately said to a pro-soldier: "You go and report the news of the East Room, let them quickly contact the eldest prince (Yu Fan), the matter is urgent!"

The pro-soldier immediately responded, ran away in a smoke, and Yu Zi didn't go to see Yu Chengen immediately, just for this matter, he was at ease at this time, and turned around and went to the hall.

As soon as he arrived in the hall, he saw that He Nianxu was kneeling on the ground straight, his face was swollen like a pig, and the slap marks were very obvious, so he knew that this was his brother's anger and angered him.

Cautiously passed, and listened to Yu Chengen speak with a gloomy face: "Seventh brother, you are thinking outside, have you come up with any way?"

These words are yin and yang, it is really not a taste, Yu Zidi secretly hated in his heart - since the dragon qi fell on Yu Fan, this brother has become more and more unpleasant, and in recent years, he has become more and more mean and difficult.

Although it is not uncommon for fathers and sons to kill each other for the sake of power, but it is royal, and when the idle county wants to get this journey, this person is really narrow-minded, why is he blind and let him be the head of the family?

Although this is the case, but after a moment of silence on the surface, Yu Zi said solemnly: "I came to see the eldest brother, just for this matter, the governor's power is recognized by someone, Ye Qing does not admit it, it is a break, there is no other way except to speak with military power." ”

"Big brother, we have a deep contradiction with the Ye family, once Ye Qing enters the city, I am afraid that there will be no good fruit to eat, and the current plan is to take precautions and transfer the clansmen and goods first-eldest brother, stay in the green mountains, I am not afraid of no firewood, and I can't be this juncture. ”

"Big brother, you are the head of the family, and the safety and honor of our Yu family are at stake, you quickly lead the clansmen away, and I am here on top. Saying that, Yu Zidi scanned Yu Chengen with his afterglow, and after knowing him for decades, Yu Zidi immediately saw the color, and Yu Chengen's heart moved.

"Seventh brother, I know your heart. Yu Chengen thought for a moment, sighed, poured himself a drink, and said: "What you said is right, but unfortunately, I am now an official of the imperial court, and I am a county guard, I really can't leave, I can't go!"

"Seventh brother, you are decisive, I have always known, why don't I give you the head of the family, and you will lead the clan to transfer quickly. ”

As soon as these words fell, like a thunderbolt falling, Yu Zidi's face was as white as paper in shock, he was too familiar with his brother, and he didn't want to be tempted at this time, so he quickly knelt down and said in a trembling voice: "The family is the most important patriarchal, the young and the old are orderly, the more critical it is, the more you can't mess up the rules, and the eldest brother is talented and virtuous, I am not as good as you, how can you say this?"

"Big brother, you are the monarch of our family, you can't be in a mess, the consequences of a mess are unimaginable!" Such a loyal answer made everyone present moved, looked at Yu Chengen, and couldn't help but think in their hearts: "Family master, are you too careful?"

"Seventh brother, if you have this heart, I won't mention it. With tears in his eyes, Yu Chengen exhaled and said, "But I really can't leave, as soon as I leave, I'm afraid I'll cause trouble for the family." ”

"In the past few years, I have indeed made mistakes, what you say makes sense, listen to you at this time. ”

Yu Chengen also knew that the situation was critical, gritted his teeth, and finally made up his mind and took out a small seal: "It's urgent, I can't leave, I can't act, this big thing will fall on you." ”

"This is the great seal of the head of the family, with this letter seal, you will immediately transfer the clan and assets overnight, it doesn't matter if some fields cannot be sold, we have taken precautions in the early years, and have long been scattered in various counties, and the fields in Nancang County are not too much - although it is also distressing. ”

Yu Chengen sighed with emotion, and continued: "The key is the clan's arsenal, grain depot, and treasure house, which are the foundation of the clan's savings for hundreds of years. ”

"As long as these few are maintained, no matter what the situation is in the future, we can advance or retreat, and we can make a comeback. ”

Yu Chengen is extraordinary in the end, and this set of words makes everyone nod their heads and say yes.

Before coming to the head, Yu Chengen said softly to He Nianxu: "I've been a little upset recently, and I sent some nameless fire to you just now, don't be surprised." ”

He Nianxu bowed again and again: "The head of the family, you promoted me, and you have the grace of reinvention for me, how dare I be surprised, and the head of the family is not angry at me, to whom?"

Yu Chengen listened and smiled faintly: "You are sensible and do things neatly, so let's do it, you follow the seventh brother and get this done together." ”

Yu Zi's heart was cold, his eldest brother, and finally arranged a supervisor, which was really leaky, and he immediately said: "Yes!"

Before the words fell, there was a heavy thunder in the sky, and when I went out, I saw thick clouds for most of the day, and from time to time there was the sound of rolling thunder, and then, the heavy rain poured down.

Although it rained continuously, the matter was urgent, and since it was a special matter, in just one day, half of the clansmen moved out of the city, and some valuable goods had been loaded into hundreds of carts and headed for the outer counties.

Half of them lived in suburban manors for the time being, waiting to be transported to the clan treasury, which was not trivial and was the foundation of the family.

He Nianxu knew that he was the overseer, and although Yu Zidi did not avoid himself in everything, he was at ease, but he still couldn't be completely relieved, so he rushed to the door of the clan library at this time, and saw that it was still early, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Arrived at a stone room, saw the soldiers on the left and right, and Yu Zidi was still waiting at the door, couldn't help but smile, at this time the sky was still heavy thunder one after another, He Nianxu was busy saying: "The seventh master has been waiting for a long time, the rain is heavy, let's go in——"

"I'm waiting for you!" Yu Zidi said impatiently.

This is different from the previous attitude, He Nianxu was a little surprised, but he still nodded, took out the iron key, rotated it according to the password passed by the head of the family, three in and seven back, only to hear a "click", the iron door opened.

"Seventh Master, please come in!"

Inside, the clouds were dark and the sky was low, and there were torches lit inside, and inside was a wide sealed stone chamber, except for the ventilation openings at the four corners of the roof, there were no other windows.

I saw that the stone room was a hundred steps wide, and the weapons were all wrapped in oilcloth, and placed in the wooden box, and when I opened it, I saw bows, arrows, armor, knives, guns, and swords, which were enough to assemble thousands of elites.

There are ten boxes again, there are three boxes of jewels in them, a dazzling array of them, and there are seven boxes of gold, each box is opened, are gold bars, seeing this, Yu Zi was dazzled, overjoyed, and exclaimed: "I heard that this family treasury was created by the ancestors when they followed Taizu to fight the world, and after generations of savings, the fruit is rich." ”

"Yes, with so many goods and weapons, do you have to wait for the head of the family to come over to inspect them before they are shipped?" Although He Nianxu was dizzy, he was more qualitative, and looked away and asked.

"With the eldest prince here, there is no need for a brother. Yu Zidi said with a sneer.

While speaking, I saw a young man appear, and at this time he came in wearing armor and a long sword at his waist, it was the eldest prince Yu Fan, He Nianxu was stunned for a moment, and his whole body trembled.

Seeing that no one next to Yu Fan walked to the middle, without saying a word, with a wave of his hand, thirty personal soldiers spread out, sealing all the passages in the stone hall.

"Eldest prince, why are you back-" He Nianxu's legs trembled slightly at this time, but he hurriedly laughed and said: "The family mainly knows that you are back, and I can't say how happy I ......"

"He Nianxu, do you still want to prevaricate at this time?" Yu Fan smiled: "How many things have you done to me over the years?"

"I am a slave of the master of the family, and I used to act on orders!" Hearing this, He Nianxu knew that today's things could not be good, and his attitude became tougher: "Eldest son, you are here, it is not in line with the family rules, please go out to talk."

"Talking outside?" Yu Fan couldn't help but look up to the sky and laughed, and suddenly pulled out his sword, only to see the sword light flash, He Nianxu screamed, entered from his chest, and came out from his back - pulled out the sword, rubbed it on He Nianxu's body, and calmly inserted it into the sheath: "Yes, you are indeed a loyal servant of my Yu family, so I will leave you with a whole corpse - Uncle Seven, remember that tomorrow, I will send three hundred taels of bereavement to his family, and I will say that I died in battle!"

Although Yu Zidi had long believed that he was the head of the family, when had he seen this kind of scene, he was frightened for a while, and secretly weakened his legs, and when he heard this, he hurriedly said: "Of course this - the head of the family, what should I do now?"

Yu Fan checked the seal letter of the head of the family with one hand, and suddenly smiled: "I came back to see me just now, Ye Qing's army of 10,000 is already fifty miles outside the city, although my army is called 20,000, the actual battle is only 5,000, and it has just been condensed, and there is a lack ......of rest and recuperation all the way to fight, all relying on the hope of revenge and life-saving grace, most of the army's heart is not stable, and they need the resources of their own family to rest, so they can't follow Yan Shenyuan and his father's will, and resist Ye Qing hard at this time."

"Since this county town can't be defended, then now it's a mess, of course, I went to see my father, and I did it neatly. ”

"Yes!" responded to the pro-soldiers outside.

A large number of armor soldiers poured into the depths of the courtyard, but it was even deeper in the rain, and when it was closer, Yu Fan heard a long and deep sound of the piano from the study in the courtyard.

When he opened his eyes, he faintly saw that the window was open, and Yu Chengen was sitting on his lap and was stroking the piano.

Yu Fan froze at this time, ordered the soldiers to stop, stood in the rain and listened, for a long time, after hearing Yu Chengen finish chanting, abandon the piano and get up, he was about to close the west window, and then laughed: "The father is very elegant, so that the son admires it very much!"

This voice appeared suddenly, and Yu Chengen, who was frightened, was startled, and heard that it was his son's voice, and secretly wondered why no one had come over, so he calmed down, turned around and looked, and suddenly felt terrified.

I saw a wave of soldiers pouring in, and a murderous aura rushed out, and the leader was his son Yu Fan.

Yu Chengen was suddenly furious, stretched out his hand and pointed: "You rebel, do you want to rebel? Do you dare to see your ancestors after you die?"

"Rebellion?" Yu Fan couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh again, and laughed: "Do you know that an hour ago, the family elders had already held a meeting in front of the family temple, and you were removed from the position of head of the family, and I inherited it?"

"What?" Yu Chengen's head "buzzed", the blood rushed up, the mouth was sweet and fishy, and he couldn't hold back anymore, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

Seeing this situation, Yu Fan showed a trace of pity and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"Father, I have been appointed by the Sect Elders, and it is justified, but I still need to hold a meeting of the whole clan. ”

"Now that things are urgent, there is no such time to waste, if you pass the throne to me urgently, then both of you will save trouble, and you can be healthy. ”

"If not, forgive your son for being unfilial, first kill your favorite aunts, and then let your beloved son, my little brother, commit suicide. ”

"Whether it is a healthy retirement, or a lonely family, only my father has a thought. At this time, Yu Fan said coldly, without any expression.

In a moment, the rain poured down in the thunder, and even if there were candles in the hall, it was still as dark as dusk, and more than a dozen people hurried over in the rain, their expressions all uneasy.

"I've seen the head of the house!" The heavy rain made a sound of tiles and woods, and the dozen or so people bowed to Yu Fan, just now, Yu Chengen officially passed the position of the head of the family to Yu Fan.

"Father is tired, we shouldn't have bothered. At this time, a lightning bolt, the hall was bright, followed by thunder, which made all the people startled, and they listened to Yu Fan's tone, in this case, he was very calm: "It's just that the situation is not good now, Ye Qing's army is approaching, so I also ask my father and aunt to retreat first, and we will cover behind." ”

"As for the relationship between duties, we can still get this thing through by working up and down. ”

As soon as these words fell, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, now that the soldiers are coming to the city, if Yu Fan leaves Yu Chengen behind, it will be really cruel, and now although Yu Chengen is immoral because of this, he will definitely be deposed, but his life should be fine.

Therefore, as soon as Yu Fan's words fell, Yu Zidi immediately exhaled and hurriedly said: "What the head of the family said is very right, without further ado, the eldest brother and his family will withdraw first, time is running out!"

"Then Uncle Seven will go and do this first. Yu Fan looked at the heavy rain outside the window, and hoped that this matter would be resolved peacefully, so he said: "Let's organize the relocation immediately!"

"Yes!"

Yu Zidi supported the silent Yu Chengen, only to feel that his palms were full of sweat and cold, and when he got closer, he saw that this brother, who had been pressing him, had no color at this time, and looked ten years old, and sighed in his heart: "Quickly put on an oil coat for the eldest brother, and we will withdraw!"

As he spoke, he looked at the stormy sky, and he also put on an oil coat and hurriedly disappeared into the rain.

Seeing the group go out, Yu Fan seemed to be smiling, the clouds on the top were rolling and concentrated, and he looked like a dragon and a tiger, and after a long time, he said: "Let's go too, Ye Qing, may not let us spend this night safely!"
