"Things haven't reached the point of no return yet. Besides, I don't think Yue Zhengjia will be defeated so easily."
Lin Mengya did not panic because of this sudden change of events.
She still had some confidence in Yue Zhengzixiu.
She hoped that he would not let her down this time.
.....
Due to the open confrontation between the Yue Zhengjia and the Pei Family, an unprecedented debate arose in the family meeting.
However, the two key figures in the center of the storm did not seem to be at each other's throats.
It was just that they must have crossed swords many times in private.
Pei Qianji squinted his eyes and looked at the junior opposite him with great interest.
After the absence of the troublesome Gong Ya and Murong Xi, Pei Qianji naturally took over the original position.
Just to compete with Yue Zhengzixiu.
The First Elder, who prided himself on being fair and just, also withdrew from the battle with the reason of "discomfort".
Although he did not say anything, allowing the Pei Family to seize power meant that he was siding with them.
Otherwise, as the representative of the Elders, if the First Elder did not allow this to happen, he would reprimand the Pei Family for their wishful thinking and protect the Yue Zhengjia's position as the leader.
However, he did not do so and avoided it.
This made Yue Zhengzixiu realize that the Elders had been bought over by Pei Qianji long ago.
Fortunately, he had been prepared, so things did not go to the worst stage.
But now, the situation was still very serious.
"Zixiu, it's not that I want to bully the young, but it's hard to refuse the kindness of the elders. Besides, we are father and son-in-law. It's the same no matter who is the leader, don't you think? "
On the other side, Pei Qianji was already very confident.
He did not want to be so radical.
However, after the Huo Family's wealth was exposed, he simply chose to beat them at their own game.
Since he could not monopolize it, he would think of a way to let the Pei Family have the biggest share.
More importantly, the Huo Family's wealth was enough to buy people's hearts.
He had originally planned to use this to suppress the Yue Zhengjia, but now it was just a little earlier.
When he thought that he was about to kick the Yue Zhengjia out, and that he would have to be obedient to him in the future, Pei Qianji could no longer suppress his expression.
He even wanted to throw his head back and laugh.
He really had to thank the Huo family.
If it weren't for the wealth they left behind, if it weren't for the rumors they stirred up, he probably wouldn't have been able to do it so happily!
As for the remaining members of the Huo Family that Fourth Brother mentioned, he really didn't care about them.
There was only one member of the Huo family left.
What a pity.
Huo Xiao was a fool.
He probably didn't even know how many things the Huo family had left behind.
Moreover, even if he really came, he would be taken down as soon as he appeared.
He knew that the kid's only weakness was his biological mother.
And his biological mother, Madam Fang, was sitting here.
Just like a dozen years ago, he was at their mercy.
Yue Zheng Zixiu only glanced at him indifferently.
"The matter of the chieftain clan is of great importance. It's not something that can be decided with just a few words from you and me."
"Tsk, young man, you should listen to your elders. I tried to persuade you a few years ago, but you stubbornly insisted. Now you know how it feels to be attacked from both sides. Isn't that bad? "
Pei Qianji became more and more pleased with himself as he spoke.
He had already advised him to be more careful and win people's hearts.
What a pity!
Yue Zheng Zixiu didn't reply.
Although the family behind him was a little weaker, it wasn't completely impossible to compete with the Pei family.
However, the reason why he didn't act up was because of the man who sent him news about Zi Tan last night.
"Patriarch Yue Zheng, the second young master is now at our place as a guest. You don't have to worry too much. He'll be back once the clan meeting is over. "
At that time, he didn't believe the man's words and even wanted to detain him for interrogation.
However, the man took out his brother's personal belongings.
This made him hesitate to attack the rat for fear of harming the innocent. In the end, after listening to the man's threat, he sent someone to follow him.
He found that the man had entered the Pei family's courtyard.
Later, when the Pei family forced him to give up the position of the chieftain on the grounds that the chieftain was irresponsible, he finally understood why the Pei family wanted to capture his brother.
It turned out that it was all for the sake of power.
However, he still didn't give up easily.
He believed that with Zi Xiu's ability, he wouldn't be captured so easily by the Pei family.
Moreover, he had asked to see Zi Tan last night, but was rejected.
Based on his understanding of the Pei family, if Zi Xiu was really in their hands, Pei Qianji would definitely show him convincing evidence in order to threaten him.
Therefore, he guessed that something had happened to Zi Tan, so the Pei family wouldn't let him see him.
Otherwise, Zi Tan wasn't in their hands!
However, the reason why the other party dared to threaten him was probably because they knew Zi Tan's whereabouts.
Therefore, he had to stall for time.
At this time, the supporters of the two families were about to be at each other's throats. Yue Zheng Zixiu, the main character, slowly stood up.
Pei Qianji didn't want to be outdone. He narrowed his eyes, and the faint smile on his face made him look like he deserved a beating.
He knew it.
Yue Zheng Zixiu valued his brother the most, so he would definitely not let him go.
"Patriarch Yue Zheng, in my opinion, you should give up your position as soon as possible. Don't you see what kind of life everyone has been living with you all these years? "
The person who spoke was one of the clans that had publicly expressed their support for the Pei family at the city gate.
They were also a large Upper Chuan Clan, and their status in the clan was very important.
However, rather than saying that they were supporting the Pei family, it would be more accurate to say that they were more satisfied with the price that the Pei family had offered.
After all, following Yue Zheng Zixiu didn't mean that they could get rich treasures.
Yue Zheng Zixiu glanced at him coldly and said, "The change of the chief family has never happened before. If the Yue Zheng family has done anything wrong, I'm willing to give up my position. "
The people on the Pei family's side all thought that he had given in.
However, before they could be satisfied, the person continued unhurriedly, "However, the matter of the chief family concerns the safety of the entire aboriginals. There are many sages, so … "
He deliberately paused for a moment to attract everyone's attention before he continued, "Therefore, I think that all the capable people of the aboriginals can compete for it."
"What do you mean?"
Pei Qianji glared at Yue Zheng Zixiu.
He couldn't help but scream in his heart, 'Is this guy crazy?
Did he know that in this way, those restless fellows who intended to replace him would have even more reason to make a move and fight for him?
'That's right!
He's trying to take drastic measures against me! '
However, if he did that, he would be handing over the advantage of the Yue Zheng family to others.
In an instant, Pei Qianji's face darkened, as if he had lost his parents.
The crowd also began to discuss among themselves.
Not only Yue Zheng Zixiu's side, but even a few of the old men on Pei Qianji's side had exchanged glances with each other.
It seemed that they had been tempted.
Yue Zheng Zixiu already knew what kind of effect his words would have.
So far, it seemed that everything was still within his expectations.
"Since we're going to choose sages, we can't just stick to one clan or another. Otherwise, how can the head of the Pei family guarantee that the successors will be sages? In my opinion, why don't we open up and let the ancient clansmen participate? Won't we be able to choose more suitable people? "
"Moreover, the position of the chief family was passed down to me by my father. In the future, it will be passed down by me to the next generation. However, if I'm blind and trust the wrong person, won't I be entrusting myself to the wrong person? "
There seemed to be no problem with what he said.
But in reality, it was a stab to Pei Qianji.
The reason was that before his father passed away, Pei Qianji had promised his father that he would do his best to assist him so that he could secure the position of the chief family.
He had even promised him to marry the Pei family's daughter and give her a position second only to the legal wife.
Moreover, Pei Qianji's position as the head of the Pei family had been secured by his father's efforts.
But now, heh, it was obvious who was ungrateful and ungrateful.
Pei Qianji tried his best to maintain his composure, but in reality, he wanted to sew Yue Zheng Zixiu's mouth.
He scolded with a fake smile, "Young people really don't know the gravity of the situation. How can the position of the chief family be taken by just anyone?"
"Why can't it be?" Yue Zheng Zixiu asked calmly. "I can take it, and the head of the Pei family seems to want it too. Since both of us can take it, why can't others?"
"You!"
Pei Qianji never knew that Yue Zheng Zixiu had such a sharp tongue.
But he couldn't directly say that everyone else was trash and that only he, Pei Qianji, was the most honorable one and the only one who could become the head of the chief family.
After all, he still needed the support of those families.
But he had forgotten.
Everyone had ambition.
Especially those people he had won over with benefits. Each of them had ulterior motives.
Indeed.
If they boarded the Pei family's boat, they would be able to get a share of the profits.
But what if they went into the sea themselves?
Wouldn't that be their own?
Yue Zheng Zixiu smiled faintly.
He saw that the eyes of the family heads surrounding the Pei Family were burning with the fire of ambition.
"If that's the case, everyone has the chance to be the chief family. Why don't we make it clear? Whoever has the ability will be the chief family. Isn't that better?"
Yue Zheng Zixiu spoke openly, as if he didn't care about power and status at all.
This made Pei Qianji gnash his teeth in hatred.
"Yue Zheng Zixiu, do you really have to be so reckless? Don't forget that the chief family concerns the survival of the entire aboriginals. How are you going to face your ancestors in the future? "
Heh! Yue Zheng Zixiu sneered inwardly at Pei Qianji's words.
"How the ancestors of the Yue Zheng family blames me will naturally be borne by the people of the Yue Zheng family. I just don't know if the head of the Pei family will still have the face to face his old friends in a hundred years. "
