Chapter 136: Peace is the most important thing for people

Sure enough, before everyone could find the person they were suspicious of, Patriarch Duanmu spoke again: "I think everyone is very confused. It doesn't matter. Although this matter is a long story, I believe that since everyone has come here, they don't mind spending a little more time."

"Everyone knows that with the return of the Gu family, our thirteen families are finally reunited. However, because the head of the Gu family is young, many people do not take her seriously. They just think that the Gu family has no one left, so they put forward such a puppet head. Hehe..."

At this point, Patriarch Duanmu paused. Seeing that everyone was concentrating and waiting for the next words, he did not keep them in suspense: "You all have forgotten the saying that a man of ambition does not grow old, and you have also forgotten the saying that one should not despise the young and poor. However, if you want to test us or have a discussion, we welcome it. We have to convince people. But..."

When he said this, his aura became so powerful that even through the doors of the boxes, one could feel the pressure he exuded, or rather, it was the pressure that came from the four ancestors at the same time.

"After all, they are our own children. I allow your legitimate challenges, but that does not mean I can tolerate your unwarranted murderous intentions. Are the children of my Thirteenth Family so easy to bully?"

"He's indeed not easy to bully." A lazy voice came slowly from a private room. Wei Da stood there as a stake. He was unable to interfere with this man who loved to watch the fun and did whatever he wanted.

Patriarch Duanmu was very familiar with the emperor's voice, and he became even more annoyed after hearing this: "We have a deep connection with the royal family. Although we are all ordinary people and cannot compete with the royal family, no one can stand being shitted on. We should be able to fight to the death and get a piece of meat."

"Hehe, Elder Duanmu, you are too kind." The emperor cursed Princess Xianyun in his heart and also blamed himself for interrupting the conversation too quickly.

"Everyone knows how serious it is. If you have the ability to steal money, we will admit it, but if you want to kill people, then be prepared to step on us old immortals." The tone of the ancestor Duanmu became tougher: "To harm my descendants is equivalent to digging up my ancestors' graves. No matter how strong you are, you must fight."

Emperor: "Am I being threatened?"

Wei Da looked at his nose, and then at his heart, without any reaction. Wang Chuan lowered his eyebrows and looked submissive, as if he had not heard anything.

There is a balance between the royal family and the Thirteen Families, which is that they do not interfere with each other and occasionally cooperate for mutual benefit, provided that they do not offend each other.

The emperor was angry, but he had nowhere to vent. The Thirteen Protectors were people of the same era as the founding emperor. In terms of background, the royal family was not necessarily better than them. He didn't know about the past and the future of the talents, but those people of his time were not simple characters. So, they are willing to live in the market, and the ordinary people are living well, why do you hold them back? Thinking of this, he lost his anger. If he wanted to blame someone, he should blame his father's daughter for being useless, which made him, the emperor's brother, suffer this kind of humiliation.

He sighed and said, "The prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people. If any member of the royal family commits a crime, Mr. Duanmu can deal with it on his own. I will never pursue it."

Incognito is just a trick, so just take it off when necessary.

"The Emperor is here too?" A new round of whispered discussions began in the box.

"Then I will accept the emperor's gift." What does it mean to strike the snake with the stick? This is it. There is no such thing as shirking and being polite. Knowing that the emperor is coming, this promise must be obtained, otherwise it will be considered as insubordination, which is too disgusting.

"Then Qin Yingying of the Qin family, I want to ask you, why do you want to kill us young people? If you don't tell me something today, you don't need to leave this door." To the Qin family, Patriarch Duanmu was not so polite.

Qin Yingying was very confused. He stood up uneasily. Even though he knew that Grandmaster Duanmu couldn't see him, he still bowed deeply and said, "Yingying is terrified. Yingying is grateful for the care of the Grandmasters over the years, which has helped him gain a foothold in the business world. He is grateful in his heart, so how could he do such an ungrateful thing?"

Patriarch Duanmu snorted coldly, "Whether your gratitude is true or false, let's not discuss it for now, but it is a foregone conclusion that you killed our juniors. It is an ironclad fact. Don't talk about going home to investigate. Go to the window and take a look. If you say you don't know this person, I will pretend that I farted here today."

With a bang, a heavy object fell to the ground, and everyone crowded to the window of the box. In the central open space of Shixuan Building, there was a paralyzed person curled up. He was not a big shot, and many people did not know him, but Qin Yingying's pupils shrank. Butler Qin was the son of the Qin family. He had served the Qin family for generations, and he could not say that he did not know him even if he turned into ash. Because of his outstanding ability, he is now working for his own son.

The evidence has been presented, so he certainly can't just pretend nothing happened: "Ancestor, this is indeed my servant, but I don't know what he has done wrong. Can you allow me to ask?"

"Just admit that you are from the family. According to my confession, the reason why he colluded with many parties to frame and kill the head of the Gu family was because he was instigated by your son. As for the reason, haha... it's ridiculous." Patriarch Duanmu sneered: "Greed for money leads to murder, an old trick."

He brought up the incident and told it again: "He was greedy by nature. The younger generation in our family wanted to show mercy and let him go, but we didn't expect that he would leave such a big trouble for our family. It's true that good people are bullied."

Qin Yingying gritted his teeth when he heard this. This servant had made a mistake, but he dragged his son into it and created such a big enemy for their family. He was really brave. He felt bitter in his heart: "Grandfather, you also said that all this was caused by this servant and my son..."

"You want to say that it has nothing to do with your son, and that your son is innocent? If your son had not been greedy and protected him well, and if your son had not condoned him behind the scenes, do you think he would have been able to get in touch with the princess? Do you think anyone would believe what you say?" Patriarch Duanmu sneered.

Qin Yingying had nothing to refute. Even though he had never seen his son, he knew his son better than his father. He knew his son's little thoughts. "I wonder how the ancestor will deal with my son?"

"If the Gu family master can return safely, everything will be fine. If the Gu family master has any mishap, then let your son pay with his life, and you will still win." Patriarch Duanmu said coldly. As for the person curled up on the ground in the middle, no one cared about his life or death, he was just a bug in the gutter.

What else can Qin Yingying do? He has to swallow his tears and grit his teeth. Sorry, he doesn't have the ability or the courage to fight back, unless he abandons his entire clan.

The attitude showed that the ancestors' goal had been achieved, and the atmosphere became much more joyful afterwards. A few old friends had a great time chatting with each other, drinking and visiting each other's rooms. It was a rare gathering of nobles from the capital city, so everyone had to achieve some small goal, right?

Gu Xihao also got to know many people he had never met before, which was a great gain. The brother and sister exchanged their gains and news during this period, and life finally became peaceful again.

People want peace and security first, and the atmosphere in the capital has relaxed. Gu Xixian, accompanied by Gu Shaoye, went to the Yan family. Ming Cundao retreated without a fight. The other families did not take her seriously, but because of Gui Duanming's existence, they put away their claws hidden in the fur. They were not brainless guys like Ming Cundao, and they knew when to stop. Not to mention whether the immortal master was hiding somewhere and paying attention to his disciples, the divine beast accompanying him could not be easily offended. It was not like an old man who wanted to hang himself because he thought his life was too long. The atmosphere of the thirteen families reached an unprecedented harmony, which made the fourth ancestor very happy.
