169. Abolish the position of head of the household
"They really don't deserve to talk to the old man, do you think that such a hasty negotiation can let such a lowly person call the shots?"
"I won't listen to you when you say this, why do you want to be superior to others?"
"I have this strength, why can't I be superior?" The old man in Mai said to Nian Ming with a smile.
"Do you think you're strong?" Nian Ming said to the old man Mai with a smile.
"At least in front of them, if I want to hit them like a child, there is no difference." The old man in Mai said with a smile.
"Then why did you ask him to inform us to come to negotiate? Why not directly? What about getting rid of them? Nian Ming asked the old man Mai curiously.
"In front of the big right and wrong, the old man is still very clear about his status, although it is easy for us to get rid of them, but it is easier for you to get rid of us at that time, after all, what you sent this time is only strength, not very good people. If we do get rid of them, won't that give you an excuse to get rid of us? Isn't that right? The old man in Mai said lightly to the people of Jinyiwei.
"It turns out that you did understand these people of mine, but you didn't do anything after you thought about the consequences, right?" Nian Ming said to the old man Mai with a smile.
"Yes, you're right. I was going to kill them, but one thing caught my attention. The old man Mai said in a flat tone to Ling Ming.
"It seems that my guess is right, you really want to get rid of them, but you are retaliated against by us, so you can only ask him to notify us to come to negotiate, am I right?"
"You're absolutely right." The old man in Mai said to Nian Ming with a smile.
"Then I'm curious, what caught your attention and made you change your decision?" Nian Ming asked the old man Mai curiously.
"I don't think I need to tell you what's going on!" The old man in Mai said to Nian Ming with a smile.
"While you don't have to talk to me about this, I'm still curious about what could change the decision of someone like you." Nian Ming said to the old man Mai with a smile.
"I'm not going to tell you what I changed my decision for. After all, this is my secret, and if I tell you, then my secret will have been exposed to you. ”
"Since you don't want to talk about it, let's find a quieter place to talk. And I can guarantee that only you know about it, and I don't know about it, and no third person knows. Nian Ming said to the old man Mai with a smile.
"Even if you keep it a secret, I still won't be at ease, let's talk about this matter later, let's talk about the matter in front of us first!"
"Okay, let's not talk about anything else, let's talk about the matter in front of us! I ask you, how are you going to explain this to us? ”
"May I ask you what the hell has happened? As for letting you directly send people to surround the entire Yuan Mansion. ”
"Didn't the people of your clan tell you what happened?"
"Did my family bring me and tell me that this matter has nothing to do with you." The old man in Mai said to Nian Ming with a smile.
"Why should I tell you what has happened to you? Is it just your word? ”
"If you don't tell me what happened, how are we going to keep talking?"
"What do we have to talk about, I'll give you two ways now, one way to live and one to die, which one do you want to choose?"
"Hehe, then I would like to know what the difference between life and death is."
"I give you a way to live, as long as you give up resistance and hand over the culprit, I won't let you harm your family, as for the way to die, you should understand, if you want to resist to the end then don't blame us for being polite." Nian Ming said to the old man Mai with a smile.
"Then you are choosing a dead end. I'm sure you're not a stupid person, so why don't you choose a life path? ”
"Don't worry, I haven't even said what I want to do?"
"Then there is still something to talk about, I can give you a cup of tea to think."
"That's no problem, you give me a cup of tea, and I'll discuss it with them to see what to do? But before I do that, I want to ask you one more thing. The old man in Mai said to Nian Ming in a flat tone.
"If you want to ask me something, say it quickly, there is not much time for a cup of tea, if you have something to say, say it quickly!" Nian Ming said to the old man Mai with a smile.
"You're referring to the fact that the family is not in trouble, which means that as long as we hand over the culprit."
"Theoretically, as long as you hand over the people involved in this matter to us."
"In that case, then I'll discuss it with them and see what to do?"
"Does this matter of the ancestor still need to be discussed? For the sake of the family's future, we have to hand them over, and although I don't want to do that, it's a last resort. The Great Elder said to the old man Mai with a smile.
"But if we really hand over the head of the family, where will we lose face?" The five elders, who had been quietly watching everyone on the side, said to the elders with a smile.
"But if we don't hand him over, what will our family do? Do you want to watch hundreds of members of your family die in vain under their swords? ”
"But......," the Fifth Elder quibbled.
"There is nothing to do, this matter has been decided, from now on, I will no longer be the head of my Yuan family." The old man in Mai said with a smile.
"And what about the others who want us to hand it over?"
"Whoever else is involved in this operation, hand it over to me. If you dare to act without permission, then you must be prepared to die. They have no intention of becoming independent, and if they will not let them go, have you all forgotten the clan rules? The old man in Mai said angrily to everyone.
"I seem to remember a family rule that says that nothing can be done without the approval of the elders. So theoretically, they have seriously violated this family rule and deserve to be put to death. The second elder in charge of the punishment said to everyone with a smile.
"Then why hand them over and let them deal with it? Even if they break the rules, it's up to us to deal with them! The fifth elder said to everyone with a puzzled face.
"It's true that we should deal with them if they break the clan rules, but in this situation, do you think we can still deal with them?"
"Yes, Fifth Brother, are you stupid in cultivation? Can we still have a little bit of luck in the current situation? ”
"Yes, Fifth Elder, in this situation, they won't let us deal with this matter on our own. So we had to give those people over to those people out there. ”
"Okay, don't make any noise, since this matter has been decided, then you go and bring those people over now, I'll go out and give them an explanation first, after all, the work of a cup of tea is almost over."
Soon the old man in sackcloth saw Nian Ming again.
"Looks like you've already made your decision, tell me your answer!"
"I've really decided that I'd like to ask you again, what you just said doesn't count."
"Of course what I say counts, if you don't believe me, I can make a demon oath."
"Since what you just said counts, then I'll tell you my decision! My answer is that I'll give people to you, but I want you to spare the others. ”
"Don't worry, since we promised you, we won't break our promises."
"Then you'll have to wait a while, I've sent someone to bring them."
"I didn't expect you to be so decisive. It's like a smart decision. ”
"I'm just going with the flow, they've broken our family's rules by acting on their own. Even if you don't come, the clan elders plan to dispose of them. ”
"If that's the answer, why should I talk to you personally?"
"Your subordinate is too small, I'm afraid he won't be able to make the emperor's decision. So I had to ask him to bring you over. ”
"But are you so sure that I can make this decision on Your Majesty's behalf?"
"I guess you should have that right, don't you? After all, you are one of the emperor's most trusted people, and if you can't even make the emperor's decision, then I might as well just ask your people to call the emperor over. ”
"I didn't expect there to be a lot of smart people in your family, but there are a lot of idiots in your family."
"Young people, there are always times when they make mistakes, unlike us old guys who just ask for a stable word. Since they have made mistakes, it is time to make up for their mistakes. The old man in Mai said to Nian Ming angrily.
"But the price is too great, are you really willing to hand them over?" Nian Ming said to the old man Mai in a flat tone.
"What if you don't hand them over? Do you want to watch your family perish? I said that although I handed them over, I think the next generation of the family will be better. ”
"You can see it, but I'm curious, don't families like you care about their own face? Why did you hand them over just after I finished talking to you? And I want you to hand it over, but if one of them is the head of your family, don't you feel that you have lost face? ”
"Are you talking about Yuan Shao Yuan Benchu?"
"Yes, I'm curious why you called him out without any hesitation."
"That's because we have unanimously passed a decision to abolish Yuan Shao's original position as the head of the family, so now he is just a member of the family."
