The so-called catching urn is actually to put a mud urn in the center of the field, and the masters who are over thirteen years old in the Zhuluo Mountain Society, each holding a red bean and a mung bean, and then put his hand into the urn, put one of the beans, and at the end, count which type of beans is more, and which side will win. This was the most primitive and fair democratic election at that time.

And this time, the guilt or innocence of Lahok is all in the hands of all the clansmen standing below.

The preparation of the urn was very simple and fast, as a rare crop, basically every household had two colors of beans of red beans and mung beans, and after a while, a large mud urn was placed next to Lahok.

"Well, let's get started." As the patriarch, although Bi Yong lacked the confidence to catch the urn this time, he still couldn't ask to preside over the urn capture activity: "Anyone who thinks Lahouke is not guilty, will vote for mung beans; If he thinks he is guilty, he will cast red beans. ”

"As the patriarch, I'll give you a stand first!" Bi Yong relied on himself to be the patriarch and played a trick.

After he finished speaking, he picked up a red bean in front of everyone and put it in the urn, without even covering it up.

"Humph!!" Elder Dahai looked at Bi Yong playing a scoundrel with a gloomy face, and also rushed forward, and the second one picked up the mung bean, threw it directly, and then looked at Bi Yong provocatively.

Facing the two very prestigious old men in the clan, the people below couldn't help but hesitate on the spot, not knowing what to do. Originally, the intention of designing the urn was to let the clansmen of the Zhuluo Mountain Society quietly cast their decisions under the cover of the mud urns.

"Let me come!!" Suddenly, Ma Yao, who came out of nowhere, picked up a mung bean and put it in the urn.

"Son of !!" Biyong's body shook a few steps, and finally with the support of his eldest son Fisuna behind him, he stabilized his body and looked at the youngest son angrily and sadly.

Since Ma Yao was deceived by Bi Yong from the Bengang camp, he was locked up in the second floor of the patriarch's house by his father, except for three meals a day, he was not even allowed to know any news from the outside, and there were two warriors who guarded the edge of his room day and night, afraid that he would run out of it. However, the convening of this all-clan assembly, even the two soldiers guarding Ma Yao had to come out to participate, which also gave Ma Yao an opportunity to run out of the room that was leaking everywhere and not sturdy at all while Lahouke was recounting what happened in Li Tianyang's camp.

It wasn't until he hid in the shadows and heard the ins and outs of the matter clearly, that while he was worried about Li Tianyang and them, he was even more angry that his father went back on his word and sent people to attack Li Tianyang. Therefore, at this moment when everyone was hesitating, he stood up and expressed his anger and disgust to his father and relatives in front of his masters with practical actions.

After the patriarch's son's statement, the people below finally began to move, and from time to time someone stood up, put his hand into the mud urn, and then came out with a fist, and swallowed the remaining bean into his stomach, or randomly found a corner where no one was around, and threw it far away. Of course, it's not that no one is like the previous three, who is upright and unabashedly expressing their attitude, it's just that these people are either elders who stand on the side of the patriarch with a clear banner, or elders who are close to Elder Dahai, or who have received the favor of Li Tianyang.

In the end, in fact, everyone was not sure whether the patriarch's side would win, or Lahok, who was supported by the old man Dahai, would win.

The results were quickly counted, and unexpectedly, out of the more than 1,500 votes of the whole clan with voting rights, a total of more than 1,200 votes voted for mung beans, which shows that in everyone's eyes, at least Lahok cleared the suspicion of traitor. Among them, Lahok's personality has accounted for part of the factors over the years, but it is also indispensable to the credit of Lahouk's heartfelt talk just now, after all, the changes that Li Tianyang and them have brought to Zhuluo Mountain in the past year are so obvious, and there are many families who still rely on Li Tian to support their families.

Although everyone is a little short-sighted, they are not stupid, although the patriarch said it in a terrifying way, but in their opinion, the changes brought by Li Tianyang are really just like what Elder Dahai said, and it may not be a good thing. They can finally eat a full meal every day, who would want to go back to the old days of being full and hungry!!

Lahok also breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at the overjoyed and relieved mother-in-law and the three ignorant children with comforting eyes.

"Then now that Lahok's problem is solved, shouldn't we discuss who should bear the responsibility for the sacrifice of these two hundred soldiers?" Although Elder Dahai had only won the Biyong Patriarch once just now, he did not intend to let the Biyong Patriarch go, so he solved the problem of Lahouk by catching the urn, and immediately put forward a proposal that could not be ignored.

"Dahai, what are you going to do!!" For the first time in so many years, Biyong was rejected by his own proposal by the clansmen, and when he was really frustrated, he didn't expect that Dahai was going to come to him again for trouble, and he couldn't help but look at Dahai who usually likes to work with him.

"I just want to get justice for the more than 200 soldiers who died in vain." Da Hai said calmly.

"I gave this order, do you mean that I, the patriarch, should pay for this responsibility??" The eyes of the Biyong patriarch Yin Eagle's eyes stared at Dahai.

"Exactly !!" Da Hai answered Bi Yong's question categorically, without any intention of turning around, so that all the people present stood on the spot, looking at Elder Da Hai dumbfounded: "This time, the patriarch didn't even say hello at all, so he sent out more than 200 sturdy warriors in our clan, and finally let them accompany the warriors of Yushan to die in the Bengang camp." If the patriarch had been able to say hello to all of us, it would not have been possible for them to send troops this time, let alone bury them in front of our former friends. What's more, after this incident, we want to deal with people in Bengang, so we don't know how to say it!! ”

The reason why everyone is so surprised is that it has been so many years, and it is the first time that someone dares to stand up and say that the patriarch is not. Even the oldest old man in the clan has never seen anyone dare to stand up against the majesty of the patriarch, in Zhuluo Mountain, the status of the patriarch is the same as the wasteland of the Ming Dynasty, although he can't kill the clansmen, but he can also do the same, few elders and clansmen can change his decision.

Until Li Tianyang and their appearance, the hearts of the clansmen were gradually affected, and they were no longer like before, in the face of the patriarch's requests and orders, they obeyed unconditionally, at least, they also began to have their own plans and knew how to fight for their own interests.

"Good! Good! Good! Patriarch Biyong laughed angrily, and opened his mouth to say something that he regretted: "Since everything is ready, let's just catch the urn again, and let everyone tell me if I have done anything wrong!! ”

"Just what I want!!" Without hesitation, Elder Dahai agreed to Biyong's proposal.

I was in a hurry to write today, and I wanted to finish writing about the seizure of power, but it was almost twelve o'clock, so I could only write here.
