Chapter 345: Bai Shaos Disappearance

Truthfully speaking, it really was getting angered by them to the point of laughing. Nearly two hundred people died in Linchuan River. What the situation was specifically, ordinary commoners may not know, but for them, they have fixed channels of information. Ruthless in killing, not leaving any survivors, the entire Chuanzhou Fu was all shaking in fear. Whoever Jin Qinw.a.n.g says he will skin, he will absolutely skin alive, and definitely one that says what he means. Yet, to actually say he doesnt dare to? Hehe

That good clan leader of theirs was just educating the younger generation like this? The clansmen of the Pei clan that knew what circ.u.mstances the Pei clan was in werent few. Just, for the sake of the clans internal stability, no one prodded it out, all separately working hard on their own. But, the main family? All just a bunch of morons like this?

Have them all taken down, and without my permission, dont let them take a step out of their rooms.

Even if not favored in the main residence, in front of the other clansmen, they still believed themselves to be even more honorable. Never mind the twin sisters, the rest naturally wont sit still, What right does clan uncle have to do this?

The man right now didnt want to waste his breath with these idiots, directly waving his hand, letting the servants forcibly take them away.

After taking care of these idiots, he looked towards the inside of the room again, his temples suddenly pulsing. Although he didnt want to have dealings with the clan leader, right now simply wasnt the time to bicker about this. The family clans life and death absolutely cant be joked about. He ordered someone to quickly rush back to the ancestral residence, and at the same time, even sent letters to the other relatively important clansmen to jointly discuss an important matter.

However, things really werent that simple. The people that got sent out all returned not long after, What happened?

Old master, not long after we left the family gates, we just got intercepted, and the letters all got confiscated. Near the residence theres a lot, a lot of black clad guards.

The man weakly collapsed onto the chair. Its over. The Pei clan this time, afraid, really wont be able to be saved.

His wife and children were all by his side. They werent the kind of people that would be muddled by the t.i.tle of an influential clan. Not one wasnt deathly pale, their expression fearful. For a moment, no one spoke. The room was terribly quiet No less than a cup of teas time had pa.s.sed, Father, how about we divide out from the ancestry

[1]

? And if the main family wont agree, then just voluntarily request to be expelled from the clan.

Getting expelled from the clan, this kind of thing, wasnt a joking matter. Under normal circ.u.mstances, that was having committed an enormous mistake. After getting removed from the clan, even if it wasnt their fault, it would still be their fault.

However, at this moment, the people present all didnt feel there was anything wrong with this, even having a trace of hope on their face.

As the head of the family, he naturally also thought of this bit, but at this time right now, this kind of thing cant be rashly done. If done, it was just throwing stones at someone who fell, being ungrateful and turning ones back. Once the reputation is ruined, in the future, regardless of what one wants to do, at least, in a certain period of time, it will all be very difficult to establish oneself. Unless absolutely necessary, this kind of step definitely cant be taken.

But, if Jin Qinw.a.n.g really wants to make a move on the entire Pei clan, then their final outcome may not necessarily be better than voluntarily requesting to be expelled from the clan.

..Even if alternatively defecting, Jin Qinw.a.n.g may not necessarily be happy either, perhaps might even bitterly detest even more. Didnt that good clan leader of ours, precisely because of acting on a.s.sumptions, thus suffered a huge loss. In fact, even now, hes still unaware. Moreover, even if voluntarily requesting to be removed from the clan, its probably also too late. Thats why, we cant be careless, absolutely cant be careless. This matter, allow me to think over, properly think over again. He stroked his beard again and again, occasionally exerting too much force unintentionally, accidentally pulling out a few strands of beard, yet seemingly completely unaware.

Everyone once again sunk into silence. This absolutely wasnt a laughing matter.

More importantly, right now, they knew inside information. Jin Qinw.a.n.g, for the sake of better achieving his goal, this family of theirs, dont even think about leaving Chuanzhou Fu. Thats right, even if wanting to have the children in the family arranged to elsewhere, it was all impossible. Clearly, it wasnt them that incurred disaster, yet just because of coincidence, they have to directly face Jin Qinw.a.n.gs fury.

This silence just lasted for an hour, Go prepare a generous gift. Ill go request an audience with Jin Qinw.a.n.g. Precisely the so called to untie a knot, need the person who tied the knot. As long as Jin Qinw.a.n.g relents, this matter naturally will be over with. As for what will happen to the main family and the other clansmen, right now, all powerless to preserve oneself, so who would still bother with them, and moreover, one is unable to tend to anyways.

Have to say, this was also considered the only advantage of coincidentally running into the point of the blade.

Speaking of which, no matter how generous this gift was, it was also just that. After all, Jin Qinw.a.n.g wasnt one that lacked money, and further didnt lack good things. No matter how expensive of an item, no matter how rare of a plaything, Li Hong Yuan would all have a way to get his hands on. Many times, rather than rarity, it was better to go with something to ones liking.

Everyone all understood this reasoning. The head of the familys wife immediately went to prepare. Everything else aside, the most prominent two things, one was two pairs of jade pomegranate, each one all larger than fists, the transparency level high, and more importantly, the cracked veins were perfectly split. And the two exposed rows of pomegranate seeds were bright red and l.u.s.trous. At a glance, one would even think they were real. The auspicious meaning also good, and the value in itself also sufficient. For the sake of the whole family, one can only endure the pain and part with ones beloved treasure. As for the other thing, knowing that Jin w.a.n.gfei loves plants and flowers, there just happened to be a pot of camellia at home. This was the head of the familys treasure.

The gifts along with the invitation card were sent to the villa Jin Qinw.a.n.g was currently residing in, and afterwards, can only nervously wait.

After finis.h.i.+ng up on this side, the servants finally came to report Pei Xiu Yings condition. The situation was much worse than expected. The injuries on the body rather werent that serious, just needing time to recover. The problem was her teeth has loosened, and the possibility of falling out in the end was over seventy percent. Additionally, it was just the hair. Because it was vigorously tugged over a large surface area, large chunks of the scalp on the top of the head had come off, with blood ama.s.sing under the scalp. Those hair most likely will all fall off entirely. This for a woman was definitely fatal, especially for one that still hasnt married, and exceptionally cares about ones appearance.

After hearing the report, never mind the head of the family, the others were also the same, all not knowing what kind of expression to make.

Then, thinking again to the clan leader madam who was still unconscious in the room, just hanging by a thread, not knowing whether or not able to wake up, it truly was feeling more stifled the more one thought.

It was another whole night of difficult sleep. The only thing worth rejoicing was that the gifts that were sent out didnt get returned. Then, there was still a thread of hope.

Fortunately, the next day, Jin Qinw.a.n.g gave a reply. The family head of this Pei clan residence worked up his spirits and took his eldest son to go meet Jin Qinw.a.n.g.

Naturally it was being extremely deferential and respectful, cautious and careful in their speech. Some words, they also didnt dare to say bluntly, but that meaning was also relatively obvious, just asking Jin Qinw.a.n.g whether or not there was leeway to remedy the situation. If there is, asking Jin Qinw.a.n.g to please point out a clear path, just asking to be able to preserve the whole family, and will certainly go through fire and water, ready to risk ones life to a.s.sist.

Li Hong Yuan calmly took a sip of tea, If the Pei clan from the start was just this honest and well-behaved, why would this prince waste that much energy.

The father and son pair didnt dare to respond. Although it wasnt their decision, but as the saying goes, one brush cant write out two Pei().

Enough, seeing on behalf of those jade pomegranates, this whole family of yours, this prince can spare, but what one shouldnt do, dont do. That kind of auspicious thing getting tainted with the scent of blood ultimately wont be too good.

Many thanks w.a.n.gye, many thanks w.a.n.gye. This was definitely joy beyond ones expectations.

However, on that day, another unpleasant matter happened. Bai Shao disappeared.

[1] Dividing out from the ancestry is essentially dividing out of the clan. Unlike dividing the family when the parents die, where its just establis.h.i.+ng a branch as its own household, but overall still part of the clan, dividing out of the clan means establis.h.i.+ng your own clan separate from the original, and no longer considered part of the original clan.
