Qin Lianshan tried hard to restrain his anger and said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency Gou Sheng, from your tone, do you think that our Qin family will definitely lose in four years?"
Gou Sheng leaned on the chair and said slowly and calmly: "In the entire Luojiang County, many new forces have emerged in the past twenty years. There are at least seven or eight families that are qualified to compete for a position in the poor family. However, in our entire Luojiang County, most of them are
The total number of large and small aristocratic seats is only more than thirty. There are indeed few aristocratic seats, and there are really many people fighting for them. Take the shopkeeper Niu of your Donglin Town medicine shop as an example. Based on his current situation,
With your power and connections, Brother Lian Shan, do you think you can keep your seat as a humble family? What is the situation of your humble family, Qin Clan, now? I believe you, Chief Qin, know better than Mr. Gou, right?"
Although Qin Lianshan was extremely angry, he endured it and put down the teacup in his hand calmly.
"This 'family theory' has been experienced by my Qin family for more than twenty generations. To show off my qualifications, when my Qin family existed, there were only a few of the powerful families in Luojiang County now.
I have seen a lot of strong winds and waves. The work of reviewing and evaluating the merits is presided over by the Zhenwu Holy Land, and all the people in charge are personally appointed by His Majesty the Emperor. Who has a wide network of contacts and long fingers, can they reach the Zhenwu Holy Land?"
Qin Lianshan's answer was neither humble nor arrogant. Although he also understood that the family was in a difficult situation, how could he, who had always been strong, show his timidity in front of outsiders?
Gou Sheng laughed twice and stared at Qin Lianshan with a strange expression. His eyes were even a little wanton, as if he was bullying someone with open fire, and even his title changed.
"Brother Lianshan, I'm not talking about you. Your Qin family does have some traditions, but they are all recorded in the old almanac. Don't you know what 'Feng Shui turns' means? These days, does the review officer
Justice, doesn't it all depend on personal moral cultivation? Do you think His Majesty the Emperor is really boring enough to care about the work of judging the merits of this small county? Besides, this world is all about survival of the fittest. Who has strong skills, who has enough energy, who
Just come to power and make more contributions to the country. This is the law of nature! Who cares what means you use? Tradition is worthless in our Baiyue country..."
No matter how patient he was, Qin Lianshan suddenly changed his expression after hearing these words. He couldn't help but stand up and said, "Your Excellency Gou Sheng, it seems that you don't want to show me a clear path for the Qin family, but you want to cut off my Qin family's retreat.
Right?
"Happy!" Gou Sheng was not polite, stood up, and said tit for tat, "Brother Lianshan, please forgive me for being frank. Your Qin family will definitely be rejected in the next 'Family Review'. This is a poor family seat.
You have to give it up no matter what. I believe you know the situation of the Qin family better than me. Once you lose this seat, everything about your Qin family will become nothing. I think you don’t want to be left empty-handed.
, a state of poverty, right?”
"Hmph..." This was tantamount to a slap in the face. Qin Lianshan sneered and retorted, "It sounds like Mr. Gou Sheng, you still care about my Qin family? I'm afraid you're not so kind? What's wrong with you?"
If you're talking to people, you might as well say it directly and don't hold it in your belly."
Gou Sheng laughed unscrupulously. The angrier Qin Lianshan became, the prouder he became.
"As I said before, the Qin family has voluntarily given up their seats as nobles. The wealthy Xu family can ensure that your Qin family has enough food and clothing. Otherwise, four years later, your Qin family will be destroyed."
Gou Sheng was frank enough, and then he laughed maliciously and added, "Of course, it is still unknown whether your Qin family can survive until four years later."
Qin Lianshan glanced at Xu Sihai, but saw that this man was leisurely and calm, and did not pay attention to Qin Lianshan's reaction at all.
The wealthy Xu family is one of the three wealthy families in Luojiang County. Its power is indeed unparalleled by that of the Qin family. Speaking of Xu Sihai alone, I am afraid that one person can kill the entire Qin family.
You have to endure this breath if you can; if you can't, you have to endure it!
Click!
Qin Lianshan grabbed a hand of debris, and the chair and armrests of the chair he was sitting on were immediately broken into pieces. He said coldly: "Your Excellency Gou Sheng, Mr. Xu Sihai, the power of my Qin family has declined, but it has not yet reached the point of being slaughtered by others. Qin
The seat of the noble family is hard-won, and Mr. Qin will never allow it to be ruined in my hands. If you want it, come and get it, no matter how clever it is, I, Mr. Qin, will take it with all my strength!"
As soon as these words came out, Gou Sheng's face immediately became extremely ugly.
Xu Sihai's expression, which had always been calm and clear, suddenly became cold, and a murderous intent shot directly into his eyes. He looked Qin Lianshan up and down.
"Clan Chief Qin, it seems that you would rather live in pieces than in pieces, right?"
Wu Xinghe was surprisingly motionless. It was not that he had no feelings, but he wanted to see how his father would act in this situation.
Qin Lianshan was so arrogant that he didn't care that the person he was talking to was a master from the rich Xu family. He rolled his eyes and said proudly: "My Qin family's ancestral teachings say that anyone who plots against our Qin family's property should be struck with five times the force;
Those who belong to our Qin family will be attacked with ten times the force; those who want to destroy our Qin family, we will attack them with all our strength, and we will not hesitate to burn them all!"
The sonorous and powerful response immediately made Qin Lianshan's attitude clear.
"Sister, see off my father's guests!"
Gou Sheng was so angry that his face turned purple, and he suddenly laughed evilly.
"Good Qin Lianshan! It seems that you are toasting instead of eating, and want to drink fine wine! Good, good, good, good, good, good, when your family is down on the streets, someone from me will come and spit on your face again. Don't blame me for adding insult to injury."
When Wu Xinghe heard this, he couldn't help laughing, and asked leisurely: "From what you said, Gou, doesn't it seem that you are here to add insult to injury today? Mr. Gou Sheng, I would like to advise you that all troubles are caused by force, and you are running away today with such arrogance.
Come to my Qin house to show off your words and show off your authority. To put it bluntly, it is nothing more than a dog taking advantage of the power of others. But you have to be wary of a sap coming out of nowhere. If you beat the dog and its owner together, that would be very bad."
Gou Sheng was speechless for a long time, and then he said angrily: "Qin Lianshan, you father and son sing in harmony, and he who is completely ignorant of current affairs is a hero, and sooner or later he will regret it!"
When Jin Buyi saw Wu Xinghe speaking, he came up to him with a smile and said: "Qin Wushuang, since your injury is fine, you still have to report to Wutong Academy. Your student status is still in Wutong Academy. Even if you want to drop out, you have to go through some procedures.
.Furthermore, all the aristocratic children of Baiyue Kingdom go to Wutong Academy for further studies. Hiding at home is not an option."
It sounded like he was thinking about Qin Wushuang, but how could Wu Xinghe not see that he had bad intentions? But he didn't try to expose it, and responded with a smile: "Wu Tongyuan will naturally have to go back, please remind me, Mr. Dean."
Already."
"Well, well, that's good! No matter how the situation changes, at this stage of your life, everything is focused on your studies." Jin Buyi smiled cunningly and walked out.
"The road ahead is long and unpredictable. I won't send you away. Dean, please be careful along the way. If you take a wrong step, you may be heading into an abyss."
What seemed like kind words actually contained Wu Xinghe’s warning and threat. But at this stage, no one could decipher the implication in Wu Xinghe’s tone, and they didn’t let go of a little martial boy who had narrowly escaped death.
In the heart.
After sending away the three evil guests, Qin Lianshan asked in a solemn tone: "Wushuang, do you plan to return to Wutong Academy?"
"why not?"
Wu Xinghe looked at the backs of the three evil guests leaving and said with profound meaning.
"Jin Buyi is a well-known hypocrite in Luojiang County. He must have bad intentions when he invites you back to Wutongyuan." Qin Lianshan reminded.
"Since these three people can join forces, how can they have any good intentions? Because of this uneasy good intention, I should go back to Wu Tongyuan to have a look. This is a matter of attitude."
Wu Xinghe's logic is very simple. If you want to know how unfavorable the situation is, you have to experience it yourself. If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you catch the tiger's cubs?
Qin Lianshan looked at his son and felt in a daze that after this disaster, his whole temperament seemed to have changed. Especially his eyes were no longer as evasive as before, no longer shy and timid, but more calm.
confidence.
Especially when he was bullied by three bad guys just now, his son's extreme personality was able to endure it until the end before speaking. If nothing else, his self-control alone was already a hundred times better than before.
"Father, looking back on my duel, it was basically a conspiracy. This conspiracy was not just targeting me personally, but the poor seat and huge foundation of our Qin family!"
Qin Lianshan's face was solemn and uncertain. Of course he knew this, which was why he asked his son to return to Donglin Town. After all, his son was here, the incense was there, the incense was there, and the hope was there.
If anything happens to his son again, the Qin family will have to explain everything...
"Wushuang, since you can analyze this truth, do you still plan to go back to Wu Tongyuan?" Qin Lianshan wanted to know what his son was thinking about.
"Father, that Gou Sage is sour and of low character, yet he dares to come to our Qin Family Village to show off his power. It is true that he is a dog relying on human power, bullying good and fearing evil. But if you think about it from another angle, don't you think that our Qin Family Village is a sick cat?
You can’t show off your power at all, so there’s nothing to be afraid of?”
Qin Lianshan sighed sadly. He knew that his son was right. If it had been more than a hundred years ago, when the Qin family was prosperous and wealthy, how many people in Luojiang County would have dared to talk loudly in Qinjiazhuang? Let alone such a thing.
Blatantly visiting and threatening.
"Father, I have been thinking a lot these days. The prosperity of the Qin family depends on you and me. I lost that duel, but it may not be all bad. The so-called survival of the catastrophe must be
I will be blessed later. If I can't even withstand the wind and rain, and if I encounter some difficulties, I will hide back in Qinjiazhuang and dare not see anyone. How can I carry my family on my shoulders and move forward in the future?"
These words hit the mark and touched a strong nerve in Qin Lianshan. Especially when he looked at his son who survived the catastrophe, his whole body was filled with vitality. Whether it was his eyes or his movements, he was full of energy, which was consistent with his usual character.
There is a qualitative difference.
Vaguely, he seemed to see in his son a kind of Nirvana that was reborn from the ashes.
Qin Lianshan stared blankly, and finally nodded: "Good son, you are ambitious. Father promises you!"
Then the conversation changed and he said in a solemn tone: "But you have to promise your father that when you return to Luojiang County Wu Tongyuan, you have to endure the humiliation and bear the burden and not fall into other people's traps again."
Wu Xinghe suddenly became arrogant, moved the corner of his mouth slightly, and said proudly with a look of disdain: "Father, please rest assured, I will survive the disaster and I already know what it means to do something and not do something."
Something to do and something not to do?
Qin Lianshan opened his eyes and looked at his son with a look that was more thoughtful.
