Chapter 188: Patriarch Xie's funeral(1/2)
Early the next morning, the rain last night had stopped, and there were a few water droplets on the trees, grass, and flower petals.
Although the rain has stopped, the air pressure in Xie's lobby is still the same as before.
No one made a sound, but the tension at the scene remained unabated.
Xie Tang sat on the left side of the lobby, and some people who had the same opinions as him also sat on the left side. Xie Guan sat on the right side. Similarly, some people on the right side looked at Xie Ji with unkind expressions
.
"The Prime Minister was assassinated yesterday, and the Xie family did not protect him well. On behalf of the Xie family, I would like to help the Prime Minister. I hope the Prime Minister will be more tolerant."
When Xie Tang saw Xie Ji sitting opposite them, he stood up with a smile and said, taking the initiative to bow and apologize.
"When will it be the turn of the Xie family to be represented by cats and dogs?" Xie Guan declined before speaking.
Apologize, why do you ever need to apologize to a traitor?
Besides, when can Xie Tang represent the Xie family?
They haven't agreed yet.
"This matter has nothing to do with the Xie family. The truth will seek justice from the Wang family."
Xie Ji saw this scene and said, There is no use in talking about it now.
Someone was definitely involved in the assassination, but he no longer wanted to pursue it now.
"How are you guys discussing the Xie family's vast hectares of land? Are you going to hand it over voluntarily, or are you going to collect it yourself?"
After Xie Ji said this, Xie Guan's expression became particularly unkind. Damn it, I should have killed you at all costs yesterday.
"Prime Minister, the Xie family is willing to be a pioneer and has decided to hand over thousands of hectares of land." Xie Tang said at this time, he was confident this time.
This sentence made Xie Guan very dissatisfied, and he sneered, "You represent the Xie family on behalf of the Xie family, huh."
"Does it mean that you, Xie Guan, represent the Xie family?"
Xie Tang was really annoyed at this time, so he spoke to Xie Guan.
"My thanking Guan does not represent the Xie family. Naturally, your thanking Guan does not represent the Xie family. In this case, as long as I don't agree with this land matter, you are not qualified to give it out on behalf of the Xie family."
Xie Guan didn't mind at all that Xie Ji was firing at Xie Tang here. He said no one would let him out.
Those who want to destroy the Xie family's strength will step over his corpse.
"You don't agree? I..."
"It's not good, the clan leader is dying. Please tell everyone to go to the clan leader."
Just as Xie Tang was about to say something, a servant came in with a rather flustered expression.
"What?" Many people were dumbfounded. The patriarch was dying?
This, this was fine yesterday, how could it suddenly, suddenly stop working?
"Let's go to the clan leader." Seeing this situation, Xie Zan ran over immediately.
…………
The residence of Patriarch Xie.
Patriarch Xie leaned on the bed, supported by pillows that prevented him from falling.
Patriarch Xie's face was horribly pale, and he no longer looked like a living person.
My face, which was quite rosy yesterday, is now pale.
There is no blood color.
Xie Ji felt that this incident was too sudden.
"Clan Chief, Patriarch..." Xie Tang, Xie Guan and others knelt beside Chief Xie. Only Xie Ji didn't know what to do.
"Xie Ji." The first thing that Patriarch Xie said was nothing else, but looking at Xie Ji.
Xie Ji walked over and knelt down like Xie Tang. Due to emotions and reasons, Patriarch Xie was his elder and should kneel down.
Xie Wang saw Xie Ji kneeling a little awkwardly, and the anger in his heart had been suppressed by him.
Aren't you the Prime Minister?
Why are you kneeling? You are so pretentious and hypocritical.
"Zhiyuan, you are the most promising member of the Xie family. If the Xie family is destined to decline, can you save the Xie family's life? This is the first time I beg you, and it will also be the last time." Tears flowed from the eyes of the Xie family leader.
.
Xie Ji looked at the gray-haired old man and sighed in his heart. He still thought about his family at the last moment of his life. He may not have much ability or courage, but he was sincere to the Xie family.
Xie Ji nodded, he will do it.
Patriarch Xie smiled happily when he saw Xie Ji's nod.
"Thank you, thank you..."
Patriarch Xie died before he finished speaking.
Xie Ji saw it, put his hand on Patriarch Xie's nose, and found that he was out of breath.
"The patriarch has passed away." Xie Ji felt a little sad and didn't know what words to use to describe his mood. However, he still said this calmly.
"Clan Chief, Patriarch..." Xie Tang shook Chief Xie's body and found that he was really out of breath, which was a bit unbelievable.
But he immediately wiped his tears, stood up and said, now we must fight quickly, otherwise things will change later.
"Now is not the time to cry. The clan leader passed the order to me as the clan leader yesterday. Several clan elders can testify."
Xie Tang said, and took out the seal given to him by Patriarch Xie.
"The legend lies with you. Those clan elders are yours. Can you trust them?"
Xie Guan stood up and said to Xie Tang, are you happy too early?
"Xie Guan, what do you mean? The patriarch's wife was here yesterday. How could I lie to others?"
Everyone looked at Mrs. Xie who was choked with tears.
"Ma'am, is this something?"
Someone asked her, but Mrs. Xie didn't say anything, just nodded, and admitted that this happened.
"In this case, I will be the leader of the clan. Does anyone have any objections?"
"This..." Many people were a little hesitant.
"I've met the clan leader." But Xie Tang's group was very happy.
Many people think that now that he is like this, the clan leader is really going to die.
"It's too early for you to be happy." Xie Guan suddenly said this, and everyone felt that there was something wrong.
"Take down Xie Tang. Xie Tang is suspected of poisoning the clan leader and stealing the seal. He committed a heinous crime and dared to seize the position of the clan leader wantonly. Take him down."
Xie Guan said very seriously at this time. At this time, many servants rushed in and surrounded Xie Tang.
"Xie Guan, what are you doing?"
Xie Tang felt a little unbelievable. How could Xie Guan order these people? Could it be...
"Poisoning and murdering the clan leader is a heinous act."
Xie Guan said a little sadly, his eyes were full of disbelief, and the expression he looked at Xie Tang looked like you actually killed the clan leader.
But in my heart, I thought that Xie Tang was really stupid. He actually poisoned me yesterday and then put the responsibility on him.
If you poison, just poison. That's just right. I'll eradicate you and Xie Ji together this time.
There is no airtight wall in the world.
He has never heard of the patriarch's biography. When did he say it to you?
So what if that's the case?
You must know that none of this is more important than controlling the entire Xie family's military affairs.
"Poison?"
Everyone was confused when Xie Guan said that the clan leader was poisoned.
Xie Tang was even more confused. This Xie Guan actually framed him for poisoning for the sake of his position as clan leader.
"It hurts to say it. It's all my fault. I should have found out about Xie Tang's poisoning earlier yesterday. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been like this?"
Xie Guan looked pained and guilty at this time, which was confusing.
"What happened yesterday?"
Someone saw Xie Guan's look and knew that yesterday was not simple. Xie Guan seemed to be saying that the death of the patriarch was not simple.
Looking at his expression, he seemed to be saying that the clan leader's death had something to do with Xie Tang.
Xie Guan asked Mrs. Xie: "Did Xie Tang come to the patriarch's place yesterday? He also had dinner with the patriarch."
Mrs. Xie nodded, it was indeed true.
