Chapter 714
In the afternoon, He Chen left the manor.
The hustle and bustle of the outside world is still going on, and what happened at the hearing is still talked about in the city.
At that time, Li Qiao and Shang Yu set off to return to the old house.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the meeting hall was overcrowded.
Shang Zonghai was at the top, with Shang Lu and Shang Yu on both sides.
Hu Ying and the other two elders sat on the left side of the long table, facing the heads of all the offshoots of the Shang family.
Shang Yu's posture was lazy, his eyes flicked past, and his thin lips hooked, "Who initiated the temporary clan meeting?"
Shang Zonghai twisted the Buddhist beads, "Old Hu, tell me, why did you suddenly start a temporary clan meeting?"
old fox!
Hu Ying slandered in his heart, facing more than a dozen side branch patriarchs, he was in a dilemma.
The temporary clan meeting is arranged by the Presbyterian Church.
The original intention was to take the lead in discussing the re-establishment of the heir after today's hearing.
However, the unexpected development of the situation caught him off guard.
Hu Ying did not open his mouth for a long time, Shang Zonghai looked at him, with a smile that was not a smile, "I heard that the elder hall is quite dissatisfied with the heir of the Shang family recently, is this really the case?"
"Patriarch, this...may be all a misunderstanding."
The second elder smiled and explained, but he lacked confidence and could not convince everyone at all.
The clan meeting is held once a year, which is no small matter.
There has never been a temporary clan meeting in previous years. This time, the Elder Hall bypassed the Patriarch and the Young Master, and privately notified the side branch to attend the meeting, which was an overreach.
Shang Zonghai pushed down his glasses, and the old god looked at the second elder from the ground, "Misunderstanding? Didn't you two days ago were still discussing about abolishing Shaoyan and making Shaoheng his successor?"
Hu Ying's face changed drastically. How could Shang Zonghai know about the private discussion in the Elder Hall?
At this time, without waiting for Elder Hall to refute, Shang Lu slapped the table and sneered, "Have you asked me about changing me as the heir? Are you too old to tell right from wrong?"
The Presbyterian Hall has always been respected and pursued in the noble family system.
Even Hu Ying and others have always had a high status and voice within the Shang family.
He has ever been pointed at his nose and called stupid.
Hu Ying picked up the airs of the Great Elder, looked directly at Shang Lu, with a sullen expression on his face, "Second Young Master, it is your honor to inherit the Shang family, and it is also your future..."
"Honor?" Shang Lu has always looked down on the presbytery that is duplicity. With Shang Zonghai and Shang Yu present, he has no scruples about talking to him, "I don't care about this honor. You might as well just say it You want to be the head of the house."
Hu Ying glared angrily, and his hands on the table were clenched into fists, "You're talking nonsense."
Shang Lu kicked the leg of the table contemptuously, and leaned back with his hands folded across his chest, "Elder Hu Ying, who are you? You can change the heir of the Shang family if you want? The responsibility of the elder hall is to supervise and maintain Family interests, I think you don't look like supervision and maintenance, but more like... guarding yourself."
"Shang Shaoheng, don't spout blood."
Hu Ying has been respected all his life, even Shang Zonghai has never slandered him like this.
Shang Lu rolled his eyes, spread his hands and said, "Look, I've turned into anger from embarrassment when I said the central thing."
"Shao Heng."
"Shanglu."
Two low and slow voices came from beside him, from Shang Zonghai and Shang Yu respectively.
Shanglu shook his shoulders, pursed his lips and made a shut up gesture.
Hu Ying was so angry that his face turned red, and he kept talking about his family's misfortune, his family's misfortune.
The heads of the side branches were all silent, looking at the three elders without saying a word.
Before today, they had been dissatisfied with Shang Yu for a long time, and they also hid a lot of small thoughts.
But after the hearing was over, people in the side branches chose to go dormant one after another, and temporarily withdraw their troops.
If it's just family strife, it's fine for the main family and the side branches to rely on their own abilities.
But Shang Shaoyan's identity is indeed intimidating.
They can't afford to mess with the young master of the Parma Shang family.
Not long after, Shang Zonghai looked around as if belatedly aware, but did not find Li Qiao, so he tilted his head and asked, "Girl didn't come?"
Shang Yu raised his eyelids, his thin lips turned slightly, "Hurry up."
Shang Zonghai pursed the corners of his mouth, rubbed the beads and looked at Hu Ying, "Elder Elder, let's put aside the matter of changing the successor for now. I heard that Shaoyan had an accident this time, and the Elder Hall has put a lot of effort into it?"
Hu Ying's expression turned back, and he waved his hands and sighed in a slightly sophisticated way, "The Patriarch's words are serious, we should do everything."
After saying that, he shook his head again, "Unfortunately, we were too impatient. While running for the young master, we also worried that the Shang family would be dragged down, so we had to arrange this temporary clan meeting. Since the young master is safe and sound now, this clan meeting There is no need to continue."
Shang Lu couldn't help but sneer, "Let's start when you say it, and it's over when you say it's over. Your surname is Shang?"
The three elders: "..."
The owner of the side branch also frowned inadvertently, showing a little displeasure in his expression.
"Second young master." The third elder who had been silent for a long time suddenly looked at Shang Lu, "You have to know, without the help of the elder hall this time, it is impossible for the young master and Li Qiao to leave the police station so quickly."
"I haven't said that the Presbyterian Church is troublesome, but all of you have given yourself a lot of money."
A clear and lazy tone came from outside the door, and then Li Qiao pushed the door open and entered.
Everyone followed the sound, only to see Li Qiao's slender figure walking behind the backlight, with Steward Xiao still following her.
Hu Ying narrowed his eyes, and ordered to chase away guests with a straight face, "Li Qiao, this is the clan association within our Shang family. It's too rude for you, an outsider, to come here uninvited."
Li Qiao leaned against the door frame, stood against the light, and said in a lukewarm tone, "Come in."
Hu Ying was puzzled, looked around and saw several people from the police headquarters walking in.
The leader of the team was Qin Song. He showed his police badge and nodded to Shang Zonghai to say hello, "Business owner, excuse me, we have received a real-name report. People are suspected of framing the head of our country.
And there is sufficient evidence to prove that they incite the masses to personally attack and abuse the honorary chief minister online. This time, the Criminal Investigation Team and the Criminal Investigation Section are jointly handling the case, and they need to be brought back to the General Administration for investigation. "
The meeting hall was completely silent.
Why is there still a criminal investigation department?
Hu Ying's eyes fluttered, "Impossible, who reported it?"
Just as Qin Song was about to speak, Li Qiao who was leaning on the door replied lazily, "It's me."
Hu Ying pointed at Li Qiao angrily with shaking hands, "You..."
Li Qiao pushed the door frame with her shoulders and stood up straight. She walked around the table slowly and walked to Shang Yu's side, but her eyes were fixed on Hu Ying, "Elder, next time I send someone to come to you." When posting online, remember not to...real-name system."
