Henan Province, Yizhou, Lanling County.

Lanling is a treasure land of feng shui, also known as Langya County, which has always had many big families and talented people.

The Langya Wang family has Wang Dao, Wang Xizhi and other figures who cover the world, and they have strong power, and once became the first gate valve in the world, and even have the head of the king and the horse in the world.

Langya Yan has Yan Hui, Yan Shigu and other Confucian masters, Zhuge Liang Liang, Zhuge Jin, Zhuge Dan and other scheming people, during the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge clan is the crown of the three parties, reaching its peak.

Lanling Xiao was also the top gate valve in the Southern Dynasties, unspeakably expensive, known as the Son of Heaven of the Two Dynasties, the Prime Minister of the Nine Xiaos, the eunuchs of the past generations, the princes stretched, and the wat board was full of beds.

Emperor Gaozong succeeded to the throne, when Concubine Xiao Shu favored the harem, the Xiao family also had a court, but the Empress Wu entered the palace from the Ganye Temple, a bloody palace fight drama kicked off, as a loser, the Lanling Xiao family in the court, was brutally purged, Xiao Shufei was close to the branch, the biggest gain, but also the biggest loss, the door was almost swept away.

"Patriarch, Xiao Jing has been dismissed, and his disciples and protégés have also been expelled, and it seems that it is another uprooted situation, how should we deal with it?"

There was a middle-aged man with a square face and a long beard, with a short figure of five, pacing back and forth on the main hall of the Xiao family's ancestral house, very anxious.

He should have asked the old man sitting on the main seat, but the old man didn't raise his eyelids, let alone pay attention to him.

There are many clan elders standing in the hall, all of whom have passed the age of sixties, and most of them are sad at this time, and there are a few sporadic ones, but there is a little schadenfreude.

The order to dispose of Xiao Jing was issued, and the Xiao family of Lanling received the news the next day.

The reason why they received the news so quickly was because the Xiao clan people they sent to Beijing were actually living in Xiao Jing's mansion.

Those Xiao clan members are all among the Xiao clan in Lanling, the closest to Concubine Xiao Shu's bloodline, the old lady who made the most trouble, and in terms of it, she is still Concubine Xiao's sister-in-law.

She is also the mother of this anxious middle-aged man.

At the beginning, Concubine Xiao Shufei ascended to heaven with a chicken dog, and their room, because of the original marriage, beat the idea of Concubine Xiao Shu, who had not yet left the cabinet, and wanted to give Concubine Xiao to the sister-in-law's maiden brother, which made Concubine Xiao's family disgusted and neglected.

The clan brothers are all popular, but they are still huddled in their hometown, and they have a lot of pickled gas.

It wasn't until Concubine Xiao Shu was deposed as a concubine and died tragically in the cold palace, and the previous big and purple were placed in the ancestral hall, that they raised their heads again and took the opportunity to seize the dominant power in the clan.

The severance of relations between the Lanling Xiao family and the descendants of Concubine Xiao Shu was promoted by their house, even if the power policy was on the rise, they did not let go.

As Quan Ce was out of control, it gradually became a towering tree, like the second powerful person in the world, hot, Xiao Jing was a distant branch, under the pull of Quan Ce, they could wear purple robes, they saw that their eyes were hot, and they moved to take advantage of the oil, but after all, they had been estranged for a long time, and their faces were not good-looking, so they first sent some women and juniors in the clan to test it.

The result of the temptation is not very good, although Princess Yiyang is not stingy with rewards, but in the future of the juniors, marriage and other matters, it is never mentioned, the old lady who led the team used the stunt of sprinkling and rolling, only to get the children of the Xiao family into the palace night banquet, and thought about repeating the old tricks, for the juniors to get an official and a half-job, but failed to succeed, the old lady was angry, and took away the exquisite things on the top of the Hundred Treasures Pavilion of the Princess's Mansion.

Unexpectedly, the disaster was caused by this.

"Patriarch, you send a word, our family is in Xiao Jing's mansion, the right strategy to kill Xiao Jing, it is like chasing our clansmen, treating his grandmother's family like this, he has the right policy, but he doesn't want a reputation, a disobedience and unfilial piety, let him stink for 10,000 years"

The short, middle-aged man with a square face was indignant and justifiable.

The patriarch above, Xiao Qi, slowly spoke.

"Zining, you are still young, there are some things, maybe you have forgotten, the old man is old, I can help you recall"

"During the reign of the heirs, when you had a gathering of the gentry's fame, you publicly denied that Li Sujie, the king of Xu at that time, had the blood of the Lanling Xiao family......"

"Four years of vertical arching, Da Lang, no, the right minister went east, recruited the son of the family as a thousand cows, there was a letter to come, but you are still in charge, and it will be burned in public"

"Later, the imperial examination system was reformed, and the academy was established, and the minister of power contacted Lanling through Xiao Jing, but every one of them was denied by you......"

"In all fairness, the Xiao family is the right minister, no kindness, no virtue, unkind and unjust, the right minister has a big belly and can tolerate, and he has never cared about it, but the Xiao family is greedy for profit, kicking his nose in the face, and humiliating himself, who is to blame?"

Xiao Zining, that is, the short-faced man, his cheeks were flushed.

"Brother Yi's words are wrong, he can't write two Xiao characters in one stroke, at this time, turning over old accounts, shirking responsibility, meaningless, Xiao Jing is not far away, just dismiss the official, and take the people of Jingzhong back"

Xiao Zining's father, an old man with a clear appearance, Xiao extravagant, waved the dust in his hand in a fairy manner, he was a Taoist believer, standing at the forefront, the patriarch was on the left hand, quite status, and he pushed the patriarch back when he opened his mouth.

"The top priority is that we must try to beware of the right to make a move, as long as the family business is stable, there is no royal family."

Tsk, what I said is not that they are cut off from each other and want to cling to each other, but it seems that Concubine Xiao Shufei's descendants are ruthless and ruthless, and they will not recognize them when they are developed, but they are graceful and generous, and they do not care about power.

Xiao Qi's long white eyebrows trembled, his eyes were closed, his face was unwavering, and he resumed his silence, he was the patriarch, but he had a false name, just an empty shelf, Xiao Yu's family was powerful in the clan, and it was useless to say more.

"What the clan elder said is very true, the Lanling Xiao family has been prosperous for more than 100 years, the ancestors are prosperous, there is the protection of the king, the power is fortunate to advance, and there is a bad reputation, there is talent but no virtue, and if he is in a higher position, he will get carried away, and it will be difficult to last long, we should get rid of him and find another way."

Someone next to him immediately helped, and he said it more explicitly, but he almost didn't say it explicitly, and he changed his door to be a dog.

As soon as they sang and harmonized, everyone in the main hall echoed each other.

Xiao Qi was still silent, he didn't open his eyes, these people, their faces are gone, they must be very terrifying, it's better not to look at it, they can live a long life.

Everyone's shamelessness gradually reached its peak, and they all made plans to publicize it widely and make the reputation of the power strategy, and at the same time contact the Prime Minister of Anguo in Shendu, and hug this thigh as soon as possible.

"Bang Dang"

The door of the main hall was knocked open, and it was the eldest son of the patriarch, Xiao Zixian, who was over the age of not confused.

"Why is my son so alarmed? But there is news in Beijing? Xiao Qi no longer remained indifferent, and immediately opened his mouth to ask, properly blocking Xiao Luxury's sarcastic words.

"Father, the official of the Yizhou Assassin Mansion was outside, claiming that the governor of the prefecture came to rush to Wenyi Prefecture, saying that it was the Taoist demon of Litong Hebei Province who was confusing the place, and was involved in the murder of thousands of people burned by a strange fire, and wanted to take him to confront him"

Fang Cai was still brazen and extravagant, his legs were weak, and he sat on the ground, his face like gold paper.

"This ......" Xiao Zining panicked and was in a state of confusion.

Xiao Qi's eyebrows twitched again, and the corners of his mouth lifted a touch of mockery, never looking at the people below, "You just talked about it, but you can think about how to deal with it?" ”

Everyone moved their feet one after another, distancing themselves from Xiao Luxury, and no one made a sound.
