Chapter 490 Future

Li Shilian on the side shook his head and said with a smile: "Second brother, Zhirui never does things recklessly."

"I heard that before he summoned the elders, he went to the ANBU and looked through some materials. Just wait and see. Zhirui will definitely be able to complete this matter smoothly and quickly."

ANBU, an existence that ninety-nine percent of the clan members don't know about.

Only Li Shiqing, Li Shilian and Li Zhirui knew about the entire Li family, and they were the only departments directly in charge.

The main task of the Anbu is to monitor all kinds of violations of family rules that occur within the family.

And record the performance of all tribesmen in various aspects, so as to find out in which aspect they have better talents.

Li Shiqing looked at him thoughtfully, as if he had thought of something.

the other side.

After Li Zhirui sat down, he said directly: "You must also know the reason for calling everyone here this time."

"I'm giving you a chance now. Take the initiative to hand over the authority. I will let go of everything in the past. But if you still hold on to it and refuse to let go, then don't blame me for being rude!"

Even if Li Zhirui didn't use any momentum or pressure, the atmosphere in the hall was solemn, and you could hear a needle drop.

All the elders' minds were spinning rapidly, thinking about how Li Zhirui would deal with them and how they should respond.

It can be seen that the vast majority of them are unwilling to hand over their rights.

"Li Darong pays homage to the ancestor!"

But at this moment, Li Darong suddenly stood up, bowed and said: "I am willing to hand over the position of foreign affairs elder, obey the ancestor's instructions, and devote myself to cultivation in the future!"

Li Zhirui raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Li Darong. Seeing the tension, expectation and other emotions in his eyes, he suddenly smiled and said, "Li Darong? Not bad!"

As he spoke, he glanced at Li Dayuan, who was bowing his head in silence next to him, and felt a little disappointed.

Among all the people in power, Li Zhirui didn't know much about the others, but he knew that Li Dayuan was a smart man, and he thought that the other party would understand the meaning of his previous words.

But now it seems that Li Zhirui guessed wrong.

On the contrary, it was an elder whom Li Zhirui had never heard of before who understood the profound meaning of those words and had the courage to take a gamble.

Of course, it is also possible that Li Dayuan actually knew it, but was reluctant to take the position of patriarch and pretended not to know.

If this is the case, then Li Dayuan's evaluation in Li Zhirui's heart will drop several levels again!

As a monk, if you don't pursue a higher realm and only think about controlling the power that is like a flower in the mirror or the moon in the water, you are completely seeking the bottom at the expense of the basics and cannot bear the fate.

But just a few words made Li Darong excited. He knew that he had barely caught the eye of this ancestor!

"Thank you for the compliment, ancestor!" Li Darong stepped back happily, completely ignoring the weird and contemptuous looks of the people around him, feeling a sense of arrogance as if everyone in the world was drunk and I was alone.

Li Zhirui just nodded without responding, quietly waiting for the others' answers.

But what disappointed him was that even if someone took the lead, no second person stood up.

"That's all. Since you are lucky, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Li Zhirui sighed, and his expression instantly became ruthless. He took out a jade slip and read: "Li Daping, the elder of the internal affairs, seven days ago, on the grounds that the elixir had been left for too long and its effectiveness had expired. A second-order red phosphorus fruit, 596 first-order gray mist grass..."

When Li Zhirui read his name, Li Daping instantly fell from his chair and collapsed on the ground. His fat face was full of fear. His whole body was trembling and he cried bitterly: "Ancestor, I am willing to give up my position as the elder of the internal affairs." , I beg you, ancestor, to be magnanimous and spare my life!”

It's a pity that Li Zhirui gave them a chance long ago, but they didn't know how to cherish it.

Ignoring Li Daping's begging for mercy, Li Zhirui continued to read: "Alchemy Elder Li Chengmi, with the authority of the elder, kept a total of more than 38,290 elixirs privately..."

"Li Chengjia, the elder of the medicine garden, secretly stole elixirs and spiritual seeds..."

"Law enforcement elder..."

Every time Li Zhirui read out a name, one of the elders' expression changed drastically, and he knelt on the ground tremblingly, waiting for his resignation.

In the end, the vast hall was filled with people kneeling on their knees. Only five or six people, including Li Dayuan and Li Darong, were still sitting on chairs.

Li Darong shouted in his heart that he was lucky. If he hadn't been smart, he would be the only one kneeling on the ground now!

Li Dayuan thought more about how Li Zhirui knew the news about so many clan members, and there were many secret contents.

"In the past, seeing that you have made a great contribution to the development of the family, and since it is not too excessive, I turned a blind eye and treated it as if I didn't know."

After all, if the water is clear, there will be no fish, and if you want people to do their best, without any reward, who would be willing to spend a lot of time and energy to do it?

Li Zhirui glanced at each elder with a frosty face, and said in a voice that sounded like it was coming from an ice cave: "I have given you many opportunities, but unfortunately, you did not make the right choice."

"So hand over the spiritual objects you were greedy for before and give up your position as an elder!"

After a pause, Li Zhirui said: "The family will not tell anyone about this matter. This is the last show of dignity for you."

If possible, Li Zhirui wouldn't want to do this. After all, many of them have dedicated their lives to the family.

But this was the only quick and efficient way he could think of to take over.

"Thank you for your generosity, ancestor!"

At the beginning, Li Zhirui's momentum and attitude seemed to want to execute them all on the spot, so he seemed particularly frightened.

But now it turned out that as long as they handed over the greedy spiritual creature and gave up their position as elders, they could save their lives. This made many people feel relieved and quickly agreed.

"Everyone get up!"

When all the elders sat down with shocked expressions on their faces, the door slowly opened and the deacons filed in one by one.

"Stand next to your respective elders. In the next period of time, you will study hard and strive to become a qualified person in power as soon as possible." Li Zhirui warned.

Since he had already had the idea of ​​ousting everyone, he naturally prepared candidates to take over.

These deacons were all selected by Li Zhirui through the records of the ANBU. They did a relatively good job and could take up their posts after a little training.

"Yes!" A group of young deacons responded with great vigor and high spirits.

Compared to the group of decrepit elders sitting on chairs, they are the future of the family.

"Let's all go and do our own business." Li Zhirui waved his hand and asked everyone to leave first, and then said: "Darong will stay here for now, I have something to tell you."
