Chapter 241 Internal Conflict in Cold City
Chapter 241 Internal Conflict in Cold City
"Han Mengting, don't try to put a big hat on my Xiao family. You are timid, cowardly and incompetent. What qualifications do you have to be the city lord? The seniors from the three holy places are here to witness your despicable intention of selling out your subordinates in order to seek a safe haven. What else do you have to say?"
Xiao Yun sneered: "Han Mengting, don't think of using your status as city lord to pressure me. From this moment on, the Xiao family no longer recognizes you as the city lord, and is no longer a vassal of your Han family!"
……
Jun Fuyao didn't expect that as soon as he arrived, he would see the internal strife between the Xiao and Han families in Hancheng.
Looking at Xiao Yun's fearless appearance, and then seeing the three holy places standing idly by, it seems that Xiao Yun has reached some kind of agreement with the three holy places.
These three holy places are really a bunch of hypocrites, as they even want to get involved in other people's struggle for power and profit.
Jun Fuyao looked at the two people who were still arguing fiercely, stroking her chin, and an idea suddenly came to her mind: Wait, sister will add fuel to the fire!
Jun Fuyao smiled cunningly, flew out of the hall, and then went to the backyard of the elders of the Xiao family.
When Jun Fuyao was hesitating about which family to attack, two middle-aged men in brocade clothes suddenly came towards him.
"Fourth brother, do you think eldest sister can succeed this time?" asked the taller man.
“We have been planning for more than 40 years, and today we have the help of seniors from the three holy places, so it will definitely succeed.” The shorter man said affirmatively.
"God bless us, it will definitely work out, and then we can also fly up to the branches and become young masters." The tall man put his hands together and said...
Miss?
Could it be that these two men are Xiao Yun’s younger brothers?
Forget it, just ask and you’ll know.
Jun Fuyao acted decisively and quickly, and without alerting anyone, he controlled the acupoints of the two men, rendering them unable to move or speak.
With her current cultivation level of the second level of Venerable, it is easy for her to deal with these two high-level eighth-level men.
Then, a seductive red light flashed in Jun Fuyao's eyes, and he used his soul-capturing technique on the two of them.
Compared with the soul-capturing technique that Jun Fuyao used on Xiao Yu that day, it was definitely much higher level.
Upon questioning, it turned out that the two men were indeed Xiao Yun's younger brothers, and they were biological brothers from the same mother.
In the main hall.
The argument between the Xiao family and the Han family has reached a fever pitch.
"...Your Xiao family had a fuss about this matter ten years ago, and you bring it up again today. The engagement between Yier and Xiao Han was only a verbal engagement. Not only is it without any evidence, but my Yier has never entered your Xiao family and is still a virgin to this day. How can it be a disgrace to your Xiao family? You bunch of rotten things in the Xiao family are not worthy of my Yier at all." Han Mengting was so angry that she was shaking all over, with her eyebrows raised.
"Haha... finally the truth is out? Our Xiao family has worked hard for Hancheng for dozens of generations. We are loyal and devoted, and the heaven and earth can bear witness to this. But now, in the city lord's mouth, we are not worthy, and we are still rubbish, haha..."
Xiao Yun laughed bitterly, then suddenly turned around and said sadly to the portraits of Hancheng's ancestors on the wall of the hall: "Old City Lord Han, please open your eyes and take a look. You said that the Han family would always protect the Xiao family, but now... your descendants are trying to wipe out our Xiao family... Old City Lord Han, if you are still alive, please open your eyes and take a look... Our Xiao family is almost at a dead end..."
"You...Xiao Yun, you are shameless!" Han Mengting was so angry that her lungs were about to explode.
After all these years of getting along, I never knew this old guy could be such a good actor.
"Our Xiao family is so miserable..." Xiao Yun burst into tears. He suddenly turned around and bowed deeply to the people watching the show, and said with a sad face: "I have heard that the three holy places are fair and just, and benefit the world. I would like to ask the seniors of the three holy places to make a decision for my Xiao family!"
After Xiao Yun finished speaking, he just stood there with his back bent and never looked up again.
The Xiao family elders behind her suddenly stepped forward and knelt down in front of the people from the three holy places. They shouted in unison: "Seniors from the three holy places, please make a decision for our Xiao family!"
This scene almost made Han Mengting die of anger.
The elders of the Han family were also filled with indignation:
"Xiao Yun, aren't you afraid of losing face for the Xiao family's ancestors by doing this?"
"Xiao Yun, how can you be so dishonest and confuse right and wrong? Everyone has seen how the city lord has treated your Xiao family over the years."
"Xiao Yun, I was so blind and heartless in the past that I didn't realize that you are such a despicable person."
……
Looking at the situation, if there weren’t people from the three holy places present, a fight would have broken out long ago.
Reverend Wei coughed heavily, and her sharp eyes swept over the people from the Han family and the Xiao family. Without exception, everyone stopped talking and looked at her.
"I have listened to the dispute between the Xiao and Han families for so long, and I have understood it all. I wonder if City Lord Han and Chief Xiao are willing to listen to what I have to say to be fair?" asked Venerable Wei with a smile.
"Please speak if you have anything to say, senior. I am all ears. But I will obey your orders without fail." Xiao Yun still did not straighten his back.
Han Mengting pondered for a while, and said tactfully: "Senior Wei, if you have any suggestions, feel free to speak up."
Venerable Wei smiled with satisfaction and said, "Hancheng has stood firm until now, and both the Han family and the Xiao family have made great contributions. It can be said that Hancheng belongs to both the Han family and the Xiao family, and there is no difference between the two.
Since the two families are originally one family, and since the Han family has been the city lord for hundreds of years, then what's wrong with letting the Xiao family take the position of city lord for the time being?
For the sake of the overall situation and stability, City Lord Han, you shouldn't disagree, right?"
When Venerable Wei said the last sentence, he looked at City Lord Han, with a threatening look in his eyes.
"Senior, do you mean... that I should hand over the position of city lord to the Xiao family?" Han Mengting asked in astonishment. She never expected that the seniors from the three holy places, who were always known for their fairness and justice, would say such nonsense.
This is a matter of changing dynasties!
Just with these casual words, you want Hancheng to change his surname to Xiao?
Are you stupid, or do you think I'm stupid?
"That's right." Venerable Wei sighed, "Glory and wealth are just passing clouds. For the long-term stability, unity and development of Han City, why not let the Lord of Han City give up this wealth? I believe that the Xiao family will treat the Han family properly, just like the Han family took care of them back then."
"I also think that City Lord Han should be more generous. The friendship between the Xiao and Han families is deep. Don't hurt the harmony for the position of city lord. When the Han family was in charge, they swore an oath as their ancestral precept to protect the Xiao family for generations. Xiao Yun, now that your family is the city lord, you must also swear an oath."
Venerable Mo also echoed Venerable Wei at this time, and with just a few words, the two of them confirmed the change of ownership of Hancheng.
