A Clash of Gods - Chapter 118

[Chapter 118]

Inside the main hall of Jinyi Hou’s Mansion, it was crowded with people at this time. On the eight large carved chairs on the left and right of the hall, there was an elder sitting, and behind each of them, many people stood, old or young , all together.

The third grandfather of the Qi family was sitting above the left head, wearing a brocade coat and a hat, with a cold expression on his wrinkled old face.

The fifth master of the third room was not present, but the sixth master was standing behind the third old man with a sullen look on his face. Beside him, Qi Yu also had a frosty look on his face.

There are two lamp stands on the left and right sides of the hall, and four oil lamps are lit, which illuminate the hall very brightly.

When Yang Ning entered the main hall, there were still many people in the hall whispering each other, which was quite confusing. When Yang Ning appeared, all the voices stopped immediately, and countless pairs of eyes were fixed on Yang Ning’s body, with different expressions. The old man glanced at it, snorted coldly, raised his hand to stroke his beard, with a sense of maturity and seriousness.

Yang Ning glanced around and said with a smile, “All the old and young masters of the Qi family are here?” He cupped his hands and said, “Qining greets the elders.”

The Qi family is a big family. In addition to a few houses of the direct line, there are still many remedies and branches. The roots are almost all in the Jiangling area. However, as the old marquis entered the capital, the two generations of the Jinyi Hou of the Qi family are the pillars of the Great Chu family. Holding the big tree to take advantage of the coolness, they all migrated to the capital one after another.

Jinyi Hou may not necessarily benefit these collateral branches, but after all, he is also a member of the same clan, and because he is a relative of Jinyi Hou, it will be more or less convenient to do things in the capital, and many of them also hold positions in various yamen. There are also many people doing business in the capital.

The three old masters and one room are mainly engaged in business. Compared with the Jinyihou mansion, there are only two stores, but the three rooms in the capital have a lot more storefronts.

When Jinyi Hou was alive, the men, women and children of the Qi family’s direct line were naturally dominated by Jinyi Hou, but after the death of the old man, the third grandfather had already become the patriarch of the Qi family. .

Yang Ning said hello, but no one responded, and many people turned their heads away.

Yang Ning smiled lightly and walked to the main seat. Just as he was about to sit down, the sixth master had already sneered: “Wait a minute, Qi Ning, don’t open your eyes and look at the clan, young and old are all here, today is the clan meeting. , you dare to sit in the main seat?”

Yang Ning didn’t answer at all, he just sat down, and everyone in the hall immediately talked about it.

“Don’t talk about it, this is the Jinyi Hou’s mansion, my own place, let alone sitting, even lying down, you have no right to interfere.” Yang Ning leaned on the chair, even crossed Erlang’s legs, and said leisurely: “Every uncles and uncles are engaged in such a big battle, and they are here at the same time. I don’t know what they want to do? Hou’s mansion has already passed the meal. If some people don’t eat, they can’t be sorry.”

As soon as these words came out, many people showed annoyance, and some even shook their heads.

An elder coughed twice and said, “Qining, since you are the prince, you should have the appearance of the prince. If you are so indecent and known by outsiders, our family…!”

Before he could finish speaking, Yang Ning had already interrupted, “Excuse me, who are you?”

The elder was startled, and the third old man finally said: “You don’t need to care who he is, most of the old and young masters of the Qi family are already there today, and you won’t know them all.”

“That’s true.” Yang Ning smiled and said, “The three old grandpas are the patriarch, and the affairs of the clan are covered by the three old grandfathers. It doesn’t matter whether they know others or not.”

Hearing this, the sixth master said angrily: “Qining, please be polite, do you still understand the rules?”

He was beaten by Yang Ning last time and broke his head, and he hated Yang Ning to the core.

“Qi Song, you don’t need to say more.” The third old man looked gloomy, looked at Yang Ning, and asked, “I ask you, is it your idea to expel Qi Yu’s mother and son from the Hou residence?”

Yang Ning glanced at Qi Yu and saw Qi Yu was looking at him with hatred, he laughed, nodded and said, “Yes, it was my idea.”

There was a commotion in the hall.

“Qining, your father’s funeral has just been finished, and he has just left, and you will attack your own flesh-and-blood brother with your back. Is there any conscience?” The third old man said angrily, “You are narrow-minded,

If you don’t allow others, the reputation of Jinyi Hou will be ruined in your hands.

”

Yang Ning shook Erlang’s legs and asked, “I told them to get out of the Hou residence before midnight tonight, there should be no more than an hour or two left, Third Old Master, you brought a large group of people here, are you going to tell them for their mother and son? Affection?”

The third old man sneered: “Intercession? Does this old man still need to intercede with you?”

“Oh?” Yang Ning said, “What do the three old masters mean?”

“You made a big mistake. As the patriarch of the Qi family, I naturally can’t just sit back and ignore it.” The third old man said coldly, “I will give you a chance to take back your words, and then apologize to their mother and son for thinking that you are young and ignorant. , this is the end of it.”

Yang Ning smiled and said, “What if I don’t do this?”

The third grandfather didn’t answer, stood up tremblingly, leaned on crutches, looked around for a week, and said, “Old and young men of the Qi family, everyone is here today, and the old man just put some things on the table to talk about.” After a cough, he said: “Jinyi Before Hou went on the expedition, he talked to the old man all night, and asked the old man a few things.”

Everyone looked at the three old masters, and the hall was silent.

“Jinyihou was most worried about Qi Ning at the time. Everyone knew what he looked like before, so Jinyihou felt that if Qi Ning was to inherit the title, he would be ignorant and ignorant. The reputation will also be completely lost.” The third old grandfather sighed: “At that time, Hou Jinyi had the idea of letting Qi Yu inherit the title, and everyone saw it. Comparing the two brothers, Qi Yu is far superior to Qi in every aspect. rather.”

The sixth master has already said loudly: “Yes, Qi Yu is smart and sensible, and has both ability and political integrity. On the other hand, Qi Ning…!” He glanced at Qi Ning and sneered: “He has done things that ruined the family style before. Not much?”

Yang Ning just smiled and didn’t speak.

“The Marquis of Jinyi entrusted the old man to him at that time. If Qi Ning reforms, the family will naturally try their best to help each other, but if Qi Ning has always been ignorant, let the old man preside over and help Qi Yu inherit the title.” The third grandfather smiled bitterly, “Qi Ning is the eldest son, I can’t bear to break the door easily, so I have been waiting for him to grow up for the past few years…!” He shook his head and said, “But a lot of hard work wasted. , is not only arrogant, but also disrespectful to the elders and does not love the young, and now it is even more nonsense, to expel Qi Yu’s mother and son from the house, everyone is free to weigh in their hearts, weigh them, is this right or wrong?”

After a while of discussion, most of them criticized Qi Ning. Except for a few people who were silent, they were almost one-sided in support of the three old masters.

“This kind of scandalous brother-in-law can never happen in our Qi family.” Although the third old man was old, his voice was still loud: “And before the Jinyi Hou left, he instructed the old man, so he was worried that someone would bully Qi Yu because he was a concubine. It’s unfair to their mother and son, let the old man take care of them more, as long as the old man has a breath, he can’t allow some people to do anything wrong.”

Yang Ning smiled and said, “Three old masters, you said that your father ordered you. I don’t know who else could testify at that time?”

“This doesn’t require anyone to testify.” The third grandfather said in a tough tone, “Qining, the old man said, give you a chance, you apologize to their mother and son now, the old man can not hold it accountable for the time being, but…!”

“Then there is no need to say more.” Yang Ning’s face also became cold: “What I said, I will not take it back. Now I am in charge of the Jinyi Hou Mansion, and I will expel Qi Yu’s mother and son. I’ll break Qi Yu’s leg while I’m still in the mansion, if you don’t believe me, you can try it.”

There was an uproar in the hall.

“You…!” The third old man blushed with anger, and said angrily: “Okay, Qi Ning, since you are like this, don’t blame the old man for being rude.” He said loudly: “The old man is the patriarch, everyone today Now, this old man wants to expel Qi Ning from the Qi family, and from now on, Qi Ning’s lineage will not belong to my Qi family.”

As soon as this statement came out, many people changed their colors.

Everyone knows that this kind of aristocratic family is unusual. It has a name in the family. The entire ethnic group is the foundation. No matter how good or bad, it is always a tree with roots and sources.

Once you are expelled from the family, you will be alone. From now on, you will not be able to get the protection of the entire family. For ordinary aristocratic families, being expelled from the family is almost a fatal blow, losing the resources and protection of the family, especially In today’s world, it is almost impossible to move.

The Qi family is a little different.

After all, the line of Jinyihou has a title, although the lineage of Jinyihou also needs the Qi family as a foundation, but the Qi family can flourish for a while now, and it is indeed dependent on the status and connections of two generations of Jinyihou. If it was in the past , it is too late for the Qi family to rely on the lineage of Jinyihou, let alone expel the Jinyihou lineage from the clan.

Even now, although the prince of Jinyi seems to be arrogant, after all, he is someone who wants to inherit the title and expel him from the clan. It is not a good thing for both parties. If you cut down the big tree that rests in the shade.

As the head of the Qi clan, the third old grandfather did have the right to expel the children of the clan.

The hall was eerily silent for a while.

Yang Ning stood up slowly, stared at the three old masters, and asked word by word, “You said you want to expel me from the Qi clan?”

The third old grandfather stared at Yang Ning with his turbid old eyes, and said coldly, “This is your own fault, and sooner or later you will cause a big disaster. The Qi clan can no longer tolerate you. Never change the decision.”

Yang Ning looked stern, glanced around, and asked, “Do you all mean the same thing?”

Most of the people bowed their heads and dared not speak.

Yang Ning suddenly took out the cold blade in his hand, looked at the third old man, and asked, “I’ll ask you one more thing, is this a decision you made? You won’t change it?”

Seeing that Yang Ning took out the knife, the third old master could not help but take a step back, “You…what are you going to do?” Then he said, “You dare to threaten the old man with the knife? Listen carefully, the old man will expel you today. , From now on, you are in Qi Ning’s lineage, and you are no longer a member of the Qi family.”

“Kick!”

Yang Ning waved his hand, the sword light flashed, and a chair handle had been cut off. Everyone was shocked, only to see Yang Ning’s eyes like a knife, swept over everyone in the hall, and said word by word: ” From now on, just like this sword, the Jinyi Hou Mansion and the Qi clan will be separated from each other, and there will be no more connections, the rich and the poor will each seek their own way, and their lives and deaths will be settled!”
