Volume 4: A New Era Chapter 637: Winning over the people and taking a stand
In addition to Lu Xiao's lineage, Lu Ping and Lu Yi's two groups also gathered together, and the group of people headed towards the old house.
At this time, everyone in the Lu family was in a very complicated mood. The battle last night resulted in the destruction of half of the Lujia Village. Fortunately, there were no casualties. Everyone seemed to know that there would be a coup at night, and they all hid in safe areas to avoid being affected by the war.
Now the Lu family members are quite resentful. What has happened to the eldest and second branches of the main line? Will they be satisfied only when they overthrow the entire Lu family?
This time, basically all the men, women, young and old in the entire Lujia Village came to the old house and wanted an explanation.
Looking at the crowd of Lu family members gathered below, Lu Huan couldn't help but swallow.
This pressure is extremely great!
However, when the Lu family members saw two corpses and three detained old men placed in front of the old house, many of them showed a look of horror on their faces.
What's going on?
Are Lu Zhong and Lu Xiao both dead?
Suppressing the doubts in their hearts, everyone couldn't help but look at Lu Huan who was standing at the door of the old house. At this moment, they didn't care about being surprised, and they all looked at Lu Huan, wanting an answer.
"Lü Zhong led his branch to launch a rebellion last night, and has now been suppressed by the head of the family!"
Lu Huan took a few deep breaths and slowly said, "You have seen the situation. The head of the family has unfortunately passed away, so from today on, I will temporarily take over the position of head of the Lu family..."
"Wait, are you kidding me?"
At this time, someone said unconvincedly: "Lü Huan, you are just a girl, how can you be qualified to be the head of the family? If you want to be the head of the family, you should be..."
However, before he could finish his words, a golden meteor drew a straight golden line in the sky not far away.
Finger magic!
Bang!
The person who had just spoken was hit hard in the chest by the golden meteor. He immediately fell backwards and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Anyone who dares to interrupt me will die!"
Lu Huan said coldly, looking at the people of the Lu family in front of him, and Lu Huan continued: "These three, as the village guards of the Lu family, are not loyal to their duties, and they also followed Lu Zhong to rebel. Therefore, from today on, their status as village guards will be abolished... Where is the village elder?"
Swish!
As soon as Lu Huan finished speaking, an old man in a gray robe suddenly appeared on the scene. Looking at the several people who were tied up and pressed to the ground with closed-yuan needles inserted into them, his expression was a little complicated.
As the leader of the village guards, he always followed the lead of the head of the family, so he did not get involved in what happened last night. Now that Lu Huan called him out, it must be something bad...
"Village elder, tell me, why didn't you stop these three people last night?"
Lu Huan looked at the village elder in a superior tone and asked, "As a village guard, you are supposed to focus resisting outsiders, but you attacked your own people. Is this a crime of negligence?"
“…”
Sure enough, the elder's mouth twitched. Was he going to give him a warning by coming right up?
"That's right. It's my fault! I didn't tie them up properly." The village elder finally spoke.
"In that case, you will be the one to punish these three people."
Lu Huan glanced at the elder and continued, "I know that village guards are never allowed to enter the village, but from today on, I, as the acting head of the family, declare that from today on, you can also enter and leave Lujia Village freely, but..."
"If I catch you 'neglecting your duties' again, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
!!!
Hearing this, the village elder was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that Lu Huan would actually agree to let them return to the village. For people like them, this is simply... simply a rare good thing!
You know, these village guards can only stay outside Lujia Village all their lives and cannot move forward.
They also have families and descendants, and they want to meet their families, but because of their identity as village guards, they cannot meet them.
Now that Lu Huan has allowed them to reunite, this is undoubtedly a way of currying favor.
Seeing the excitement in the eyes of the village elder, Lu Huan couldn't help but sigh that the trick taught by Wang Bing was very effective.
Give a sweet date for every whip!
"Okay, take these three people away. I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer."
After saying that, Lu Huan waved her hand to signal the elder to leave. However, just as she was about to continue announcing the next thing, someone else jumped out and said, "Lu Huan, you are not the head of the family yet, you are not qualified to judge these people!"
"Tsk~"
No matter how good-tempered Lu Huan was, he couldn't help but want to beat someone up. Whose idiot was this? Was he looking for trouble?
"It seems that these people in the Lu family are very unhappy with your promotion?"
At this moment, a faint voice came from afar, which made everyone present suddenly stunned.
When Lu Huan heard this voice, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Swish!
The people from the Lu family in front of him suddenly began to disperse to both sides, making a path in the middle.
At the end of the road, Wang Bing stood there with his hands in his pockets, glancing at everyone in the Lu family.
"Don't look at me like that, I'm not a monster..."
Wang ignored the expressions on the Lu family's faces and looked at Lu Huan and continued with a smile: "Huan'er, I heard today that you are moving into the old house. Is there a place for me?"
Hearing Wang Bing's frivolous tone, everyone in the Lu family present felt dissatisfied.
That is the residence of the head of the Lu family. How can an outsider like you live there?
"Get out! Can't you see I'm scolding these people here?" Lu Huan said in a displeased manner.
"What's wrong now? Didn't we agree on this before..."
Wang Bing looked at the Lu family members on both sides and said, "Huan'er, you also have the right of inheritance. Old Master Xiao unfortunately passed away, and Huan'er appeared here, which means that your family has already determined that you will inherit Old Master Xiao's position."
"Hmph! Maybe the head of the family was killed by you..." Suddenly someone in the crowd said.
"Killed by me?"
The smile on Wang Bing's face disappeared instantly, and he looked coldly in the direction of the voice. "I was stopped outside by that bastard Ding Shian yesterday. Are you blind or deaf with such a loud noise? Can't you feel it?"
Indeed, the heroic battle between Ding Shimaan and Wang Bing last night was so loud that it would be a lie to say that one did not know about it. Judging from the time of Lu Xiao's death, it had nothing to do with Wang.
Wang Bing stared closely at the person who had just spoken, walked up to him step by step, and said in a cold voice: "You need to provide evidence when you speak, otherwise, I doubt your intentions!"
Gulp!
The man swallowed subconsciously and cold sweat suddenly broke out on his forehead. There was no other way. Being able to fight with a strong man like Ding Shimaan and remain immortal, Wang Bing's strength was undoubtedly that of a hero.
Slandering a hero?
I’m afraid you don’t know how to write the word death!
"Enough, Wang Bing, I have other things to say now!" Lu Huan spoke at this time, interrupting Wang Bing who was putting pressure on him.
"Okay, okay, for your sake, I won't bother with him!" After saying that, Wang Bing strode to Lu Huan and sat down on the door frame.
Lu Huan rolled his eyes at Wang Bing in annoyance, turned his head to look at the Lu family and continued, "There is one more thing, which is about the Hidden Clan's royal family!"
