Although the clan meeting on this day had twists and turns, it was not until Xu Xun said these words that it was truly earth-shattering. All the officials, including Mr. Xu and others, were shocked and angry, even Zhao Qin, who was deep in the city.
His face was livid. It had nothing to do with himself, such as those clan members who were on the sidelines or who were not in power. The noisy voices seemed to knock over the tiles of the houses around the courtyard. Even those who had already learned in advance where Xu Bian left his library
Xu Tao, who was speaking, could only guess the course but not the ending, and was frozen there at this time.
"You...you...you are so brave!" Mr. Xu felt the anger rushing into his head. He even forgot the significance of Xu Xun's words. He slapped the table hard as if he didn't know the pain.
"Who gave you the power to dispose of the property left by your father? Who gave you..."
"Who gave me the power? My father left all these land deeds to me, so he naturally let me make the decision! Since all of you have completely forgotten about the philanthropic Mr. Xu Er back then, then I'll come and find him!"
Giving the furious Mr. Xu a chance to yell and get angry again, he just smiled and threw a handful of pieces of paper into the sky, "This is the official receipt, uncles and brothers, you might as well take a good look at it.
Many people want to know how much property my father actually has!"
Although the wishful thinking of the eldest brother, etc., was made by himself, there is no airtight wall in the world. In addition, monk Huitong spread the news in the past few days, so almost everyone knew that the second house was recruiting people with his little wealth.
Thinking about it. At this moment, seeing those pieces of paper flying in the air, the usually sanctimonious elders were stunned, and the subordinate disciples below were not only gloating about the misfortune, but even some talkative ones were hiding behind and making a fuss.
.
"Well done Xu Qishao!"
"This is great loyalty and filial piety!"
However, these fragmentary sounds were quickly interrupted by an angry shout. Xu Jin rushed out from behind Mr. Xu at some point and shouted sternly at Xu Xun: "Don't
Damn you are pretending! Who knows if you are using these messy pieces of paper to fool the clan elders for the sake of my second uncle’s savings over the years!”
good!
Even Mr. Xu, who had always looked down on his youngest son, couldn't help but applaud Xu Jin's sudden disruption in his heart. Seeing Zhao Qin's face softening, he didn't know what he was thinking, so he immediately
He also shouted sternly: "Xu Xun, just because you make opinions when your identity is unknown, and you are still talking nonsense in public, I, the patriarch, will never tolerate you! Who is here..."
Still at this critical moment, a young boy from outside rushed in in a panic, almost staggering to his knees, and his voice was urgent and fast: "The clan...the patriarch, sir, outside...outside, Wei Guogong
The government has sent someone!"
Duke Wei!
There were too many people coming and going at the clan meeting today, so when I heard the word Wei Guogong, in addition to discussing with Wang Shikun last night before Fu Rong came, I also got these pieces of paper from Wang Shikun early in the morning.
Xu Xun, the others all felt unspeakably surprised. Even Xu Yu, who had developed an uncle-nephew relationship with Wei Guogong Xu, found it incredible. It should be noted that since he recognized Wei Guogong Xu as his uncle, the Wei Guogong Mansion has
It's rare to send someone to see him, so how could it be like this now?
In full view of everyone, a man wearing a small hat and a soap-colored crew-neck shirt entered the door, followed by two boys. He strode in as if no one was around, looked around and asked loudly: "Who is Xu?"
Seventh Young Master?"
"That's right, boy!"
Seeing Xu Xun getting dressed and coming forward, the man looked Xu Xun up and down for a while, then suddenly his face was full of smile, he took something out of his arms and handed it over with both hands: "I am Wan Quan, the general manager of the Duke's Mansion.
The father-in-law of my country said, if all the children in the world have the same thoughts as Mr. Xu Qi, why worry about lack of filial piety? The Gongyuan was rebuilt with Mr. Xu Qi as an example. Those in the city who are from well-off families are not happy to pay even a little money.
It's really shameful. All the scholars in Yingtian will also be grateful to Mr. Xu Qi for his generosity and wealth! As for building water conservancy, it is originally a matter of benefiting the people, and such good deeds should be commended. Therefore, the Duke of the country must do it for Mr. Xu Qi.
I wrote a letter to commend your father, and the other one is this post."
Having said this, Na Wanquan glanced at the people around him casually, and then said with a smile: "My father-in-law said he wanted to meet Mr. Xu Qi, a rare filial son, so he specially posted a message to invite Mr. Seven to go to the government tomorrow.
Mansion."
After the initial silence, there was a burst of uproar and exclamation all around. However, compared to the agitated mood of the tribesmen who were watching the excitement, Mr. Xu almost felt like he would be killed. He was holding on to the side.
His movements could best convey his father's resentment and reluctance, because he didn't know how much strength he had to use to force his father to stand there instead of embarrassing himself in front of others and slumping down.
Looking at Xu Xun who smiled and saluted and agreed, Zhao Qin's face could no longer maintain the original elegance and gentleness. When he first paid attention to the situation outside in the inner room, he felt that the Xu family was so useless.
He also didn't perform well in the play. Who knew that he had just gained the upper hand when he came out, and that Shibo who appeared out of nowhere suddenly made shocking remarks that made him disgraced, and then Xu Xun came up, which was completely unexpected
This move was actually supported by the Duke of Wei!
However, those pieces of land in Jurong were not just for the Feng Shui that he mentioned to people, but also for another reason. They were just thrown away in vain. How could he swallow this and be willing to take advantage of the big profits behind his back? I just hate him.
I felt that Mr. Luo's previous idea was too petty, so I rejected it with disdain, otherwise I wouldn't have ended up in this situation now, but if I bring it up again now...
As if God wanted to make up for the shock and anger in his heart, he had just jumped out to question Xu Xun, followed closely by Xu Jin, the third young master of the eldest house who had been forgotten because of the arrival of Wei Guogong's palace, suddenly sneered, and then shouted loudly.
He said: "What a filial son, what a good deed, but you dare to overstep your bounds and use eunuchs around you. For this alone, you deserve death!"
Eunuch!
In just a short while, the situation in the field suddenly changed several times, and the excitement turned into numbness. However, these sudden words could make the already numb people suddenly wake up. Just now, Xu Xun was full of expressions on his face.
Wan Quan, the manager of Duke Wei's mansion who was smiling and talking, suddenly stopped smiling at this moment. Although he was a domestic slave, he had already experienced everything in a wealthy family and was calm. When he saw Xu Xun's expression was not moving, he immediately reacted.
Immediately, as if he didn't hear it, he smiled again.
"Eunuch?" Zhao Qin raised his eyes and looked around. From the corner of his eye, he finally caught a glimpse of Mr. Luo, who was hidden in the crowd and nodded slightly towards him. While his heart was relieved, he couldn't help but appreciate this understanding Qingke, and immediately looked at him.
Xu Jin said, "What kind of eunuch?"
Seeing that the people who had just ignored him turned their attention to him again, Xu Jin glanced at me proudly, Mr. Xu, and then cleared his throat and said: "Master Zhao just asked Xu Xun, what is the person next to him?"
Is Ruisheng an eunuch? The court has always had a ban, but the boy's father actually dared to send people to be secretly castrated. If something went wrong, he would send his son to Xu Xun, and he would abscond in fear of crime. Is this true? Who doesn't believe it?
, Immediately bring Na Ruisheng for inspection, and it will be immediately clear whether it is true or false!"
"Is this what Third Brother wants to say?"
It wasn't until Xu Jin finished shouting all this in one breath that Xu Xun got ahead of everyone and asked this question. Seeing that Xu Jin didn't answer and looked at him with contempt, he said word by word: "His father
Since you have fled in fear of crime, I would like to ask, who told you, third brother, that Ruisheng is an eunuch?"
Xu Jin's expression suddenly changed. He lowered his head and looked at the note held in his left hand. Then he suddenly came to his senses and stared at Xu Xun with a stern look and said: "You don't care where I heard it from, just say yes or no!"
Mr. Xu finally came to his senses at this moment, and immediately showed the dignity of a clan leader, shouting sternly: "Xu Xun, don't interrupt, just tell me whether this matter is true or not!"
Seeing this scene, Zhao Qin was just glad that Mr. Luo had found the right person. He didn't notice at all that the green cloth sedan quietly retreated out. He immediately lowered his face and said: "The imperial regulations are strict.
If you are so bold as to take in an eunuch from the palace, not even the Duke of Wei will be able to protect you!"
