Lu Tianqi's face was filled with a bright smile. All the unhappiness in his heart seemed to vanish at once.
The whole sky became extremely spacious and bright in Lu Tianqi's heart!
At this time, the crowd around began to exclaim. Behind Lu Tao … there was an uproar!
Lu Tao instinctively felt something was wrong. He turned around subconsciously and looked at the three elders from the side branch.
None of the three elders raised their hands!
Not a single one!
Elder Lu Hui didn't raise his hand.
Elder Lu Peng didn't raise his hand either.
Elder Lu Zhi didn't raise his hand either.
All the people around were dumbfounded. They couldn't help exclaiming just now.
They really didn't expect that the situation could be reversed at this point.
The people behind Lu Tao were all stunned.
Lu Tianyue was also stunned.
Chu Mo was also stunned.
Everyone … was stupefied.
Seeing Lu Tao turn around, the three elders from the side branch all looked at Lu Tao with a smile, without any shame on their faces.
Lu Tao's head buzzed and his body shook. He looked at the three elders in disbelief, "What are you doing?"
"Sorry, Elder Lu Tao. I think Lu Tianqi is very suitable to be the Family Head," Lu Peng, the elder from the side branch who scolded Chu Mo just now, said seriously.
"I think Lu Tianqi can continue to lead the Lu Family to a more glorious future!" Another elder from the side branch, Lu Zhi, said with a smile, "So, I oppose impeaching her. On the contrary, I think Lu Tianqi should be removed as the acting Family Head! Because in the past month, I've seen her hard work, and I've also seen her potential! "
The third elder from the side branch, Lu Hui, said concisely, "I oppose impeaching Lu Tianqi."
Puff!
Lu Tao directly spat out a mouthful of blood. His body shook and he staggered, almost falling to the ground. He pointed at the three side branch elders, and his eyes instantly turned red. "Why? Why did you do this? "
"No reason. We think Lu Tianqi is more suitable to be the Family Head," said an elder from the side branch.
"I don't believe it! That's not what you told me before! " Lu Tao was about to break down. Ignoring the occasion, he roared at the three elders of the collateral branch, "Over the past decades, you have been standing on the same side with me. We have always been on the same side … Why? Why would you suddenly betray me now? Why?! "
At this time, the three elders and their subordinates were separated from Lu Tao's people in an instant. Although these people didn't know each other and didn't understand why the Elder was doing this. However, they had a close relationship with their respective elders.
Therefore, the people on Lu Tao's side were divided into two groups instantly. Both sides looked at each other with vigilance.
Although they were both descendants of the Lu Clan and had the same blood flowing in their veins, enemies were still enemies at this point! Even if they were blood brothers, they could only be enemies if they were on different sides!
"Lu Tao, wake up! Don't think that we don't know what you're thinking. In terms of character, breadth of mind, and talent … you are far inferior to Clan Head Lu Zheng! Perhaps you think you're better than Miss Lu Tianqi, but you've forgotten one thing. " Lu Hui, an elder of the collateral branch, used to have a close personal relationship with Lu Tao. At this moment, he looked at Lu Tao and sighed, "You only want to buy us over with benefits, but you've forgotten what we think of you, a collateral branch, as the Clan Head."
"What do we think of it? Can't a collateral branch be the Clan Head? Isn't the blood flowing in my veins … the blood of the Lu Clan? " Lu Tao was about to go crazy. He glared at the side branch elder and said, "Lu Hui … Tell me, what did Lu Tianqi offer you? Tell me! "
"She didn't give us any benefits." Lu Hui looked at Lu Tao calmly, "But we all owe Clan Head Lu Zheng. The most important thing is that you want to be the Clan Head yourself. With your temperament, breadth of mind, and character, the day you secure your position will be the day we'll be punished! You won't allow us to continue to sit in this position. "
One sentence directly pointed out the root of this matter!
However, there was one thing that the three collateral branch elders did not say. Lu Zheng not only did the three of them a great favor when he was alive, but he also held their fatal weakness. At the same time, he held their fatal weakness in his hands. Once he used it, not to mention the three branch elders, even the families behind them … the forces behind them would be annihilated in an instant!
This was the main reason why these three side branch elders had compromised!
If Lu Zheng did not have any backup plan, how could he dare to hand the heavy responsibility of the Clan Head to his young daughter?
"You … Very good!" Lu Tao spat out a mouthful of blood again. He looked at the three collateral branch elders and smiled bitterly, "I've been beating the goose all day, but the goose pecked my eyes … I admit defeat! But … I, Lu Tao, will remember your betrayal today! Remember … the mountains will not change, the rivers will flow, and there will be a time when we meet again. "
At this time, Lu Tianqi, who had been standing there quietly, slowly said, "Now, as the substitute Clan Head of the Lu Family, I propose to remove Lu Tao from the position of the Lu Family Elder. I have here his ten major crimes! Now, send them to all the elders. All the crimes have been testified by witnesses and material evidence! "
As Lu Tianqi said, he gently waved his hand. Immediately, someone distributed a few pieces of paper to all the elders of the Lu Family, including Lu Tao.
Lu Tao only took a glance and directly tore the paper in his hand into pieces. He roared, "Slander! This is pure slander! It's just making things up! If you want to put a crime on someone, you can always find a pretext! "
As for the other Elders, they were all quietly looking at the list of crimes written on it. It was a ghastly sight.
Embezzling a huge amount of the family's property, secretly raising a private army, planning to rebel at any time, conniving at his disciples to do evil, colluding with outsiders to frame his own clansmen, assassinating his competitors … All the crimes were described in great detail.
Except for Lu Tao, the other six elders were all frightened. Including the elders of the main branch who were on Lu Tianqi's side, their faces were slightly pale.
Seeing these crimes, they immediately understood that this must be one of the tricks that Lu Zheng left for Lu Tianqi!
A little girl like Lu Tianqi definitely did not have the ability to collect so many crimes in such a short period of time. The longest period of time was more than 30 years! At that time, Lu Tianqi was not even born yet.
What was a trick? This was a trick!
In comparison, Lu Tao's scheming and tricks were really not worth mentioning.
If Lu Zheng was an ambitious person, then Lu Tao … was at best a clown.
The three elders on Lu Tianqi's side immediately raised their hands, "We agree to remove Lu Tao from the position of the Lu Family Elder."
Lu Hui, Lu Zhi and Lu Peng, the three branch elders, also raised their hands, "We also agree to remove Lu Tao from the position of the Lu Family Elder!"
A thrilling family power struggle was settled in an instant.
At this moment, a few people came from not far away. The one in the lead said with a smile, "How exciting!"
Lu Tao's originally ashen face suddenly turned red. His eyes shone with hope and tears, he said, "Brother Zhao Qing, you must help me!"
