Because of this, Jia Musen's status in the family plummeted. He was pushed from the core of the family to a collateral relative.
As Jia Yulin had always been an upright person with a strong sense of justice, he had offended his two elder brothers, Jia Yubian and Jia Yutou. Therefore, many people in the Jia Clan guessed in private that it was one of them who had secretly attacked Jia Yulin.
At that time, he and his wife had carried out a very simple escort mission. In theory, there should be no danger. Unexpectedly, they were intercepted and killed by a master on the way. That was why both of them lost their lives.
At that time, Jia Jinyan was extremely angry because of this. He had offered a large reward for the arrest of the murderer. However, there was no clue. In the end, the case was left unsettled, which became a great shame for the Jia family.
"What … do you know? Those workers are all lowlifes. If there's no one in charge to control them, I reckon that it won't be long before they go on strike and stir up trouble. When that time comes, can you take responsibility? " Jia Yubian glared at Jia Yutou. Obviously, he was very annoyed by Jia Yutou's indifferent attitude.
"Humph, if Jia Yutian was not so black-hearted and bullied the workers all day long, why would they be dissatisfied with the Jia family?" Jia Yutou curled his lips.
Jia Yubian's eyes widened. When he was about to refute, he saw Jia Yutou gently knock on the table and said calmly, "Brother, don't doubt me. I heard that Jia Yutian not only embezzled wages and filled his own pockets, but also often ordered his men to abuse the miners. I think those workers have long wanted to rebel!"
"Nonsense!" Jia Yubian slammed the table and said loudly, "Jia Yutian usually follows me. I know best what kind of person he is. You don't need to frame him here!"
"Brother, why are you so agitated?" Jia Yutou glanced at him coldly. "It is because you usually do not discipline him that you are worried about the consequences after something happened to him! Tsk tsk, I don't know how much of the money Jia Yutian embezzled went into his pocket, and how much was handed over … "
Jia Yubian's shortcomings were exposed. He immediately jumped up and roared emotionally, "Don't just stand there and talk. It's easy for you to say that! Why don't you try managing the mines for a few days? Those workers were usually lazy and didn't work. They even made all kinds of rude requests to the Jia Clan. They were all shameless and unruly people! How can we not give them some pressure? "
"Hehe, since Big Brother has said so, it would be impolite for me to refuse. I'll have to trouble you for a while! As long as you agree to hand over the management rights of the mine, I will immediately send someone down. I guarantee that they will do a hundred times better job than Jia Yutian! "Jia Yutou immediately followed up, a cunning light flashing in his eyes.
He had been waiting for Jia Yubian to say this. Jia Yubian had been eyeing the Heavenly Jade Mine for a long time. There were only a few ancient sects, but the mine was a big cake! If he could occupy a corner, he would be able to gain a lot of benefits!
"You …" Jia Yubian was stunned. He didn't expect Jia Yutou to climb up the pole. For a moment, he was so angry that his chest heaved and he couldn't even speak.
Creak!
Jia Jinyan always had an attitude of survival of the fittest when it came to the internal strife of the family. Therefore, he didn't interrupt until they reached a deadlock. He was about to speak and stop the two from quarreling. However, before he could speak, he heard the sound of the door opening.
Everyone turned their heads and saw Jia Musen leading Xiao Chen and the others in with his head held high and chest puffed out. He stared at Jia Yubian and Jia Yutou as if they were idiots, a disdainful smile appearing on his lips.
"It's a good thing that I didn't let you two be the Patriarchs. What kind of good Patriarchs do you think you two are? Sooner or later, the Jia Clan will be completely defeated by you! I think you two might as well go out and fight. What's the point of talking like a girl here? " Jia Musen sneered. He never had a good impression of these two uncles, so he didn't have any good words to say.
"How dare you! Who do you think you are … Jia Musen! Why is it you?! " Jia Yubian's back was facing the door, so he didn't see who the person was. He turned around and rolled up his sleeves while cursing. However, when he saw Jia Musen standing there with his hands behind his back, he couldn't help but be surprised.
Jia Yutou didn't say anything. His complexion was a bit ugly. Why did Jia Musen suddenly come back? He had already prepared a secret weapon to let his son, Jia Tuyao, restrain Jia Huoyan and win the championship in one fell swoop. He didn't expect that there would be another competitor!
Jia Jinyan, who was sitting in the middle of the conference table, was also a bit surprised. He gave Jia Musen a meaningful look, then looked at Xiao Chen and the others behind him. His eyes flickered, as if he was pondering about something.
Xiao Chen received Jia Jinyan's sharp gaze, but he didn't fight back. Instead, he lowered his head and remained silent. After all, this was Jia Musen's home ground. He couldn't be too noisy and steal the spotlight.
Moreover, the few people present were obviously experts, especially that Old Patriarch, who was even more immeasurable. It could be felt from his sharp eyes. Therefore, Xiao Chen didn't want to be too ostentatious, lest he and Jia Musen got into unnecessary trouble.
"Hello, Grandpa! I took the liberty to come back, I hope Grandpa can forgive me! "Jia Musen first respectfully saluted Jia Jinyan.
Jia Jinyan waved his hand, indicating that it was fine. Jia Musen turned his head to Jia Yubian and Jia Yutou with a smile and said, "Uncles, you two continue to talk! Don't ruin the atmosphere because of my appearance. By the way, where were we just now? Oh, you are going to choose a manager for the mine, right? I think Jia Hongyong is pretty good, I will vote for him! "
"Presumptuous! You little bastard, you ran away from home without permission. I didn't argue with you for the sake of your father, but I didn't expect that you would actually dare to come back, and even use such a big tone to teach me a lesson? " Jia Yubian was unable to restrain his anger. He heavily slammed the table and stood up. He coldly stared at Jia Musen, ready to rush over and teach him a lesson at any time.
"What's wrong? Can't I come back? No matter what, I am still a member of the Jia Family, and the blood of the Jia Family flows in my body. Can't I give advice? " Jia Musen said with a smile that didn't seem like a smile, "Or is it that this family is already your word, and those who oppose you will be killed?"
"Bullsh * t!" Jia Yubian's eyes almost popped out. He pointed at Jia Musen and roared, "I …"
"Stop quarreling!" Jia Yubian's insults had not yet left his mouth when Jia Jinyan suddenly shouted, "Quarreling in the family meeting, where is the propriety!"
As the current Patriarch, Jia Jinyan had always had an extremely high authority, but he rarely got angry. Now that he suddenly exploded, the originally noisy meeting room immediately quieted down.
