Most of Cang Hai and his subordinates liked water, so they chose the lakeside in the end.
Li Xiao gave them the land by the lakeside.
Originally, the lake water hit the small mountain range and splashed everywhere. It was not considered good feng shui, so Li Xiao wanted to spend some energy to adjust the feng shui. When she looked up, she saw Cang Hai walk in a circle in the water. When he came out, the mountains and rivers were in harmony. Yin and Yang complemented each other, forming a natural feng shui treasure land. In fact, even if Cang Hai did not do anything, he only needed to stay here for a long time to affect the feng shui of the nearby area. How could the feng shui of a place where a true dragon lived be bad? Not to mention, Cang Hai was not an ordinary dragon.
Li Xiao only remembered this matter after being reminded like this. It seemed that she originally wanted to help Cang Hai and let him have his own territory. In the end, she benefited from it?
After the land was settled, Li Xiao excitedly took out many design plans for Cang Hai to see what they wanted to design.
Cang Hai casually picked a few. Li Xiao looked at them and saw that they were all simpler.
"If you want to change it, you can discuss it with them." She had a lot of money anyway!
"Okay."
Therefore, Li Xiao stayed at Immortal Fate Mountain for a period of time. Once the construction work was on track, she packed up and prepared to leave for Nanming Village.
During this time, something big happened to the Ren family and they welcomed a huge change.
*****
Ren Jiahong was quite confident in Shen Ming at first. Shen Ming could live for hundreds of years with a young appearance, which was enough to prove that he was extraordinary. Other than him, which master in China could do this? Therefore, Shen Ming faced Li Xiao. In his heart, the result was obvious. He only needed to wait quietly for the news of Li Xiao's death and the destruction of the enemies of the Ren family.
At first, when he did not receive the news, he was still calm and composed. He thought that Shen Ming needed time to digest the news. But later on, Li Xiao swaggered in and nothing happened, while Shen Ming was nowhere to be seen.
Obviously, in this battle of magical powers, Shen Ming, whom he had great confidence in, had lost. He had lost to Li Xiao.
How was this possible? How old was Li Xiao? Even if she started learning Dao techniques in her mother's womb, it would only take her twenty years at most. However, Shen Ming, who had lived for hundreds of years, lost just like that. Shen Ming couldn't even send him a message. There was no news from him.
After a moment of disbelief, Ren Jiahong was overwhelmed by great fear.
Was Li Xiao going to deal with him next? What could he do? Would Shen Ming expose him? He did not have much hope for Shen Ming. The other party was someone who would do anything to survive. In order to survive, it was a very normal thing to do to expose him.
Ren Jiahong was in a panic. He made several phone calls and invited all the metaphysics masters he knew to his home. He even spent a lot of money to buy a lot of so-called self-defense magic tools. He did not even dare to go out, for fear of being plotted against by Li Xiao.
In the past, he was able to devise strategies in a tent because he was confident that with the power of the Ren family, he could suppress the other party with a single finger. But the so-called power was useless in front of Li Xiao. Li Xiao had already entered the eyes of the government. As long as she did not do anything heartless, the government would support her. Such a young metaphysics master, perhaps one day they would have to beg her.
What's more, in recent years, the neighboring countries had been restless and had the idea of suppressing Hua in this regard. Li Xiao's existence was becoming more and more important.
He waited and waited, carefully paying attention to Li Xiao's whereabouts. If she acted as if nothing had happened, he was even more worried that she would do something behind his back. After a few days, Ren Jiahong, who could not eat or sleep well, suddenly aged a lot, and his hair turned white. Then, after receiving news that Li Xiao had contacted the mysterious department, Ren Jiahong, who had been suffering from a splitting headache, made a stupid move.
He sent people to eliminate evidence related to his cooperation with Shen Ming in the past. But it would have been better if he did not do it. After all, most of the things happened decades ago, and it would not be easy for people to find evidence even if they wanted to. But when he did this, there were already a lot of people watching. Not only the relevant departments, but also the collateral branches of the Ren family who had received the recording.
In the end, the evidence was caught red-handed. The other members of the Ren family took the irrefutable evidence and ran to Ren Jiahong.
"Second Great Uncle, don't you think you owe us an explanation?" Ren Zhenming of the sixth branch of the Ren family held seven nails in his hand, and his eyes were about to burst. When they first heard the recording, they did not believe that Second Great Uncle, who looked noble and unquestionable as the patriarch, would do such a thing. But before they could use the reason of renovating the ancestral hall as an excuse to look for Yan Sheng's item mentioned in the recording, someone took advantage of the dark and windy night and secretly took out the item from the inner hole of the beam.
They caught the person, and it turned out to be Second Great Uncle Ren Jiahong's bodyguard, Li Shu. Li Shu had been by the patriarch's side since he was young, and he was loyal and devoted.
Ren Zhenming took this item to a metaphysical master, and only then did he know that this kind of sorcery would maintain a fixed number of people in the family. Every time a new child or daughter-in-law entered the family, someone else would pass away.
It was no wonder that not only did the Ren family not have a lot of children over the years, but they also often had accidents. Second Great Uncle had previously said that it was because his grandfather had killed a lot of people on the battlefield when he was young, and that was why his descendants had to suffer retribution. They believed him, and over the years, they tried their best to do good deeds. Who would have thought that the source of the decline of their children was the patriarch, Ren Jiahong?
"Second Great Uncle, you are so cruel. We have been cautious and conscientious all these years, and we have worked so hard for the Ren family. Is this how you treat us?"
Of course, Ren Jiahong could not admit to this. He could only grit his teeth and say, "There must be a misunderstanding."
"Li Shuke is your man, and he has been with you for at least 50 years. How could he be bribed?"
"Misunderstanding? Then my grandfather's car accident was also a misunderstanding? If my grandfather hadn't been in a car accident because of you, it would have been hard to say who would have been the patriarch at that time. My grandfather lost because he was not ruthless enough. "
Not only the Ren family, but the people from the first branch also glared at Ren Jiahong.
"If you don't give us an explanation today, we can only call the police and hand over these witnesses and material evidence to the police, and let the law give us justice."
Ren Jiahong looked at the Ren family members who had surrounded him aggressively. Even his sons did not say a word. He could even guess what they were thinking. He had lived for too long, and his sons might not even live longer than him. They had long been thinking about the chair under his butt. They had already banded together in order to chase him down. However, he had not heard the slightest bit of news. It was obvious that he had lost control of the Ren family.
At this moment, he realized that he was already alone. In any case, he could not let this matter spread outside. It was not just a matter of reputation. He might even be exposed for what he had done in the past and be punished by the law.
His back suddenly bent, and his face was stained with frost.
At this moment, he had no other choice.
He was originally worried that Li Xiao would make things difficult for him, but he did not expect that the first ones to make things difficult for him would be his own family.
Three days later, Ren Jiahong was no longer the head of the Ren family. The new head of the Ren family was his grandnephew, Ren Zhizhou. Ren Zhizhou's grandfather was his cousin who had been in a car accident when he was young because of him. It was conceivable that this grandnephew would definitely suppress Ren Jiahong's branch. They would gradually lose their right to speak, slowly become a side branch, and their status would plummet.
No matter how unwilling Ren Jiahong was, he could only accept this fact. He even had to move out of the ancestral home and live in a house under his name.
His sons resented him for losing his mind for his grandson, Ren Xiaotang, and offending people he should not have offended. No one came to visit him, and he lived there alone. And his most loyal bodyguard, in order to explain to the people of the other branches, could only be handed over.
At this time, Ren Jiahong was like a tiger who had his hands and feet cut off and his eyes dug out. He was barely hanging on. This huge disparity made him muddle-headed every day, and he drowned his sorrows in alcohol.
Once again, when he was drunk and his eyes were hazy, he saw himself sitting on the chair in high spirits. The people around him carefully flattered him and gave him all kinds of praise. The leader even specially came to ask him to go back, saying that he was old but strong, and could continue to share the country's worries.
Yutang also came back, and he brought back a wife of equal social status.
The Li Clan was ruined, and they were reunited with Chan Ka-yin in prison.
This was the life he should have — holding the power in his hands, and keeping his word.
Suddenly, the scene seemed to grow legs, and it was about to fly away.
"No, come back!"
Ren Jiahong could not help but chase after it. His eyes were red, and his footsteps were staggered.
Suddenly, there was nothing under his feet, and he directly fell down.
With a bang, Ren Jiahong fell down the stairs, unconscious.
****
Before Li Xiao left, he received the news from the Ren Family.
First, Ren Jiahong was driven out and lost his position as the head of the family. Then, Ren Jiahong fell down the stairs after getting drunk. Because he fell down in the middle of the night, when the family servants found him at dawn, his body was already cold, and there was no chance to save him. With his death, the new head of the Ren Family took the opportunity to be bold and decisive, and directly separated the family, making Ren Jiahong's family branch a side branch. The reason was also readily available. Ren Jiahong's son was not filial, leaving the old man alone in the house and silently passing away.
This time, of course, the main branch, who was the current head of the family, took the biggest share. The original second branch, Ren Xiaotang's parents, did not get any house or shop, and only received 10% of Lê Thị's shares. The head of the family, Ren Zhizhou, made it sound quite nice. These shares were bought by Ren Jiahong through hard work, and as his son, the second branch must inherit them and live up to his efforts. Although the shares of the Li Clan fell a lot, these shares were now worth several billion yuan in the market, so no one could say that Ren Zhizhou mistreated the second branch. Instead, they should be praised for repaying evil with good and for being magnanimous.
Li Xiao almost laughed out loud. It would be fine if Ren Xiaotang's parents sold the shares early, but if they continued to hold on to them, they would be left with nothing by next year. She guessed that after she sent out those recordings, the Ren Family would have a big change, but she did not expect that this change would directly lead to Ren Jiahong's death, and the Ren Family would be separated and torn apart, and their strength would be greatly reduced.
She pondered for a moment and asked Zhang Yan, "Is there a problem with Ren Jiahong's death?"
No matter how she looked at it, falling down the stairs to death was very strange.
Zhang Yan said, "In the past few days, the cadet branch secretly contacted several Taoist masters."
Li Xiao understood. The Ren Family of the cadet branch probably asked someone to do something to solve the problem. This was also his own fault. In order to suppress the cadet branch, he used unorthodox methods to harm others, and in the end, he died because of this method. Retribution might be late, but it would come sooner or later.
Li Xiao smiled softly. "It's time to let Ren Xiaotang know about his grandfather."
Based on the Ren Family's resentment towards Ren Xiaotang, no one would be willing to do anything for him. His only backer, Ren Jiahong, was dead, and this time, Ren Xiaotang did not know how long he would be locked up in there.
After she gave this order, she no longer paid attention to the Ren Family's affairs. She still had her own life to live, and revenge was not her whole life.
