With a bang, the back of the knife hit Shangguan Rui's head.

Shangguan Rui staggered and turned around unsteadily: "Who... Who hit me? You're so tired of living that I'll kill you!"

Shangguan said: "Smash it again!"

This time the servant was much more agile and hit Shangguan Rui on the forehead with one strike.

Shangguan Rui rolled his eyes and finally passed out.

The servant threw away the steel knife and fell to his knees: "Master, save me!"

"I will keep my word, so don't worry." Shangguan Yun said, "Help me up."

The servant still believed in Shangguan Yun's promise. The old man's reputation in this regard was always good. He helped Shangguan Yun up and said to himself that this was a blessing in disguise. The servants around the family master and even the general manager were a bit polite when they saw him.

.

Seeing that Shangguan Rui was unconscious, Shangguan Xuan and others cheered and surrounded him.

"Let's all go inside first." Shangguan Yun glared at the eldest son, "A group of people ran into the yard to make a fuss. Who are you showing them to watch?"

Shangguan Xuan yelled at Qu: "We didn't want to! Just when the second brother came back, Shangguan Rui pulled out a knife from nowhere and started to kill people without asking. It's a good thing that everyone ran fast, otherwise it would be impossible to move out of that small area in the house."

Shangguan Yun ignored him and ordered his servants to help him into the house.

Shangguanxuan made a gesture, and everyone quickly followed.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Shangguan Yun asked as soon as he sat down.

Shangguanxuan glanced at his second brother and said, "Father, please drink some water first, and let me explain this matter slowly. Let's start from the last fight between Gu Wuyou and Shangguan Rui..."

Shangguan Jin's expression changed, and he turned around to leave: "Well, I suddenly felt dizzy. I was quite drunk last night. Dad, you are busy, I will go back and take a nap."

"Don't leave, or I'll beat you to death."

Shangguan Jin stopped in anger.

He actually didn't know the cause and effect because he didn't have time to hear it. He was chased by the stupid young son as soon as he entered the house. What could he do? He was also very desperate.

However, as the saying goes, a thief has a guilty conscience, and after his eldest brother made the move, Shangguan Jin had a strong premonition that he might not be able to escape responsibility. The nature of this conflict with Gu Wuyou was completely different from the last time, and the Shangguan family was almost wiped out!

Shangguanxuan explained the cause and effect.

From the moment Shangguan Rui was punished for impersonating Gu Wuyou, to today's crisis of annihilation, everything is clear and logical.

Some people may ask, Yingying didn’t tell the whole story in detail before, so how did Shangguanxuan know this? There are two reasons. First, there is no airtight wall in the world, and Shangguan Rui is not a master who can keep secrets.

It was impossible for him. He could always find out something by asking the servants, maids and his brothers.

Secondly and most importantly, lazy people think too much.

It's one thing to be ineffective, but Shangguanxuan is not stupid. After sorting through all the information, it is not difficult to find the truth.

From Shangguan Rui's words, Shangguan Xuan could even analyze that it was Shangguan Jin who instigated his son to impersonate Gu Wuyou.

Of course, Shangguan Xuan is a smart man and will not explicitly accuse the second child without evidence. But he also knows that the old man is not stupid either. Shangguan Rui cried earlier, and based on what he told at this time, his father can guess who is the instigator.

.

As expected, Shangguan Yun became angrier the more he listened, and his face was so gloomy that water could drip from his face at any time.

After Shangguanxuan finished speaking, the room fell into dead silence.

After a long time, Shangguan Yun sighed: "The one who saved the lives of our whole family, young and old, turned out to be Wuyou. This is really... Oh, how will I face the whole house after my death!"

Huh? What does this mean, old man?

He is as smart as Shangguan Xuan, but he didn't understand.

Shangguan Yun didn't explain, and said to Shangguan Jin: "Second brother, kneel down."

Shangguan Jin hesitated for a moment, and finally fell to his knees and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Father, I was wrong, but you can't blame me entirely. I just asked Rui'er to pretend to be Gu Wuyou and ruin his reputation. Who could have predicted

Then Gui Sun actually provoked the monks!"

Shangguan Yun almost ran out of breath and fainted.

Okay, one of you said that his father is a bastard, and the other said that his son is a grandson, so what happened to me...

"Second brother, do you want to piss your father off to death?" Shangguanxuan said angrily.

"Uh, I don't dare."

"Then shut up and listen to father."

"oh oh."

Shangguan Yun tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart - this anger was not only directed at his second son and his grandson, only he himself knew how complicated and entangled his mood was at this moment.

"I... am old." Shangguan Yun said.

Everyone looked at each other.

"I thought that with me here, Shangguan's family would have smooth sailing, but today I realized that it's really hard for people to disobey me." Shangguan Yun paused, "I really don't want to have anything to do with you incompetent people - that's all.

, I declare that from today on, the position of head of the family will be passed to Yi'er."

What? Everyone was confused by the old man.

Shangguan Yi is the next head of the family appointed by the old man. To be honest, everyone has no objections because they know that they are ineffective and in a circle full of dangers like a wealthy family, they will never be able to save the family.

But letting Shangguan Yi take over as the head of the family now... is too early.

Shangguan Yun looked around: "Where is Yi'er?"

Shangguanxuan smiled bitterly: "After Gu Wuyou and the others left, she locked herself in the room. We made such a fuss and she didn't even show up."

Shangguan Yun sighed: "Yes, we are harming others, and in the end we have to rely on others to save our lives. Not to mention Yi'er, I feel ashamed to see people. But as the old saying goes, it is never too late to remedy the situation, and escaping is not the answer after all."

Shangguan Xuan said in his heart, "Are you ashamed of Yi'er? You didn't realize it."

Shangguan Yi came back to the room with a smile, the kind of person who was secretly happy.

However, the old man has a sharp vision and rich life experience. If he said that Yi'er was ashamed, he must be right.

Shangguan Yun said: "Xuan'er, go and call her. I don't want to do this for a moment. As for Shangguan Rui, that little beast, and how your second brother should be punished, let Yi'er decide. I'm tired.

"

Shangguanxuan finally got a taste of it.

The old man obviously wants to give up his job.

Normally speaking, the guilt of Shangguan Jin and his son cannot be wiped away with a beating. They almost caused the family to be wiped out! A family must be rigorous in running the family, otherwise it will be chaos.

In other words, if Shangguan Yun wants to convince the public, he must punish these two people severely.

Execution is the most basic thing, and it is not too much to show it to the public late.

However, Shangguan Yun obviously couldn't do it.

He started from scratch, which is fundamentally different from those families that have been passed down from generation to generation. Maybe his many years as a family head have changed him a lot, but the idea of ​​​​having a wife and children who love each other and coming from a farmer in Sanjiang County still occupies a certain position.

He is not a cold and ruthless family head who was taught a wealthy family education since childhood.

Therefore, he could not accept the execution of his children and grandchildren with his own hands.

Shangguanxuan thought to himself, you don't want to be entangled, so he gave the choice to my daughter. This is simply... great!

I, Shangguanxuan, had a father who was the head of the family in the first half of my life, and a daughter who was the head of the family in the second half of my life. Oh my gosh, I am so awesome.

He became energetic: "Okay, I'll call Yi'er over now."

Shangguanxuan left happily, only to run back in a panic a moment later.

"Father is bad!" he shouted, "Yi'er...Yi'er is gone!"

Shangguan Yun's expression changed: "What's going on, please explain clearly."

"Yi'er said that she has left Yujing City and is going to Yizhou Miaoyin Sect to look for Gu Wuyou." Shangguanxuan took out a letter, "Yujing City is at least thousands of miles away from Yizhou. She is a single woman. She is not seeking death.

Well! Calculating the time, she shouldn’t have been gone very long. It’s still too late to send someone to intercept her. Father, hurry up.”

Shangguan Yun said nothing.

Shangguanxuan urged: "Father!"

She loves her own children, and no matter how incompetent Shangguan Xuan is, she still feels sorry for her own flesh and blood. China is not a paradise, there is no shortage of ferocious beasts, let alone bad people. Although Shangguan Yi has practiced martial arts, his fists and feet are definitely not enough to protect himself.

Shangguan Yun let out a long breath: "God's will!"

What the hell?

Shangguanxuan is impatient. I don't understand God's will, and I don't want to understand it. Anyway, nothing can happen to my daughter.

He turned around and left: "I'll send someone."

"Come back." Shangguan Yun stopped the eldest son, "As a father, don't you know what kind of character Yi'er is? At least the servants will never be able to stop her. If you are really worried, you can lead people to search for her yourself. Maybe you can tell her

Still willing to listen."

Shangguanxuan immediately retreated: "The problem is that I'm lazy."

"Then don't bother, it's useless."
