A total of nineteen people, including the clan leader, attended the Zhao Elders' Meeting.
Many of them were familiar to Yang Zhen, such as the third elder who had just argued, and the fifth, sixth, tenth, eleventh, seventeenth elders, etc., who had all interacted with each other before.
In addition, nine years ago, the sixth elder who was in charge of various industries was sent to a spiritual mine for instigating the murder of Yang Zhen. The matters he was responsible for were handed over to the current seventh elder. Now the sixth elder is in charge of the family's business.
There is another person who is not easy to deal with Yang Zhen, Zhao Ying's grandfather, the fourth elder Zhao Yunya, has now been "reinstated" and is sitting in his seat, watching the two people who came in.
Yang Zhen glanced around and saw the clan leader sitting in the main seat. There were rows of long seats on the left and right sides of the lower head. The second elder and the third elder were sitting in the frontmost positions.
Seeing the second elder, Yang Zhen narrowed her eyes slightly. As far as he knew, the second elder was the oldest among the elders. He was now in his twilight years and had not attended family meetings for several years.
He was actually present today. To put it this way, today’s meeting is no small matter.
At this time, Qin Wan walked directly to the last seat on the right, which was her seat.
However, Yang Zhen stood still, raised her brows, and raised her head and cupped her hands: "May I ask the clan leader, where does the great elder sit during normal elder meetings?"
Before the clan leader could answer, Zhao Yunya sneered: "You are a junior, do you still want to be on an equal footing with the clan leader?"
"Go and sit in the back row honestly, there is no room for you to talk here!"
"What? The eldest elder of the Zhao family can't speak in the presbytery?" Yang Zhen sneered.
"Who do you think you are!" The fourth elder shouted: "Don't think that you represent the great elder, but you really think of yourself as the great elder. It's not your turn to speak in this place!"
"Since I represent the Great Elder, the moment I step into the venue, I am the Great Elder!" Yang Zhen said tit for tat.
From the appearance of the second elder and the attitude of the fourth elder in front of him, he had a vague hunch that today's meeting was very important, and he could not even rule out that it was related to him.
So at this time, he must not weaken his momentum, let alone lose his identity as the Great Elder.
"Get out!" The fourth elder was furious.
Yang Zhen stood still, holding her hands and leaning towards him: "When did the fourth elder of the Zhao family have the right to drive away the eldest elder of the family?"
"Huang Mao'er, what kind of elder are you?"
"I am the representative of the Great Elder, don't you understand?" Yang Zhen said with a smile.
"Fart!" The fourth elder finally couldn't help it and said viciously: "You are a lowly slave, what qualifications do you have to represent the great elder!"
"Whether I am qualified or not is up to you!"
The voices of the two people arguing gradually became louder.
At this time, the third elder who had been silent said: "Yang Zhen! You just came in. If you have been obeying the rules honestly, we won't care about you. Now that you are so restless, let me tell you, I, Zhao There is no precedent for the elders to appoint representatives in our family. We do not recognize your identity as the so-called representative of the great elders. Please get out!"
"Okay!" Yang Zhen smiled brightly, turned around and saluted the clan leader and said: "Master clan leader, Article 7 of the regulations of the clan elders' meeting stipulates that when the elder is unable to attend the meeting, he can designate someone else as his representative. Could it be that our Zhao family doesn't agree with this? This one?"
"Those are the rules of the sect's elders' council. In our Zhao family, we don't have such rules!" The third elder said solemnly.
"The third elder is saying that our Zhao family does not need to abide by the sect's rules?"
"I never said that, stop messing with me!"
"The elders' council as important as the sect can appoint other representatives, but the Zhao family's elders' council does not allow it. Does it mean that the Zhao family thinks from the bottom of their hearts that the sect's rules are unreasonable?" Yang Zhen asked.
Gu Ming's words were somewhat sophistical. However, in this hierarchical world of cultivating immortals, if these words spread, someone might make a fuss about it.
so--
I heard the clan leader cough slightly, interrupting the argument among several people:
"Okay, there's no need to argue. You all know that the Great Elder has always taken care of Yang Zhen. In this case, there is nothing wrong with him representing the Great Elder. Youting, please ask someone to bring a chair, and let him Next to me."
The clan leader made the final decision, and no one dared to have any objections. Soon, a servant brought an armchair, and Yang Zhen, without any courtesy, sat down below the clan leader and above all the elders.
…
The meeting was chaired by Zhao Youting, the eleventh elder in charge of family chores.
He said in a serious tone that the two ancestors suddenly died and the family is now facing great difficulties. He hopes that everyone can work together to overcome the difficulties.
However, he did not say what the specific difficulties were. Instead, the third elder went on to introduce the process of visiting the sect.
The third elder's voice was low, and he gave an overview of the situation of going to the sect to welcome the remains of the two ancestors. Yang Zhen noticed that he did not mention his suspicions about the death of Patriarch Yunjun, nor did he mention his second trip to the General Affairs Hall.
When he said that Zhao Beiqing died heroically, and the sect not only retained the Zhao family's treatment as a Zifu family, but also gave an additional 100,000 points in pension, he noticed that several elders seemed to be slightly relieved. On the other hand, Zhao Yunya, who was in charge of the family's financial power, kept his face tense and expressionless.
After mentioning that the General Affairs Hall also promised to return 30,000 contribution points, surprise flashed across the eyes of the elders.
"Could it be that the family is lacking in contribution points?" He pondered secretly.
His suspicion was quickly confirmed.
The next person to make a report was none other than Fourth Elder Zhao Yunya.
"The family has spent a lot of money in the past ten years due to Patriarch Yunjun's attack on the golden elixir," Zhao Yunya said with a very ugly face as he listed one item after another:
"Lease the Tianjingfeng Cave Mansion and contribute 100,000 points per year, totaling 900,000."
"The consumption of high-grade spiritual stones and high-level elixirs is incalculable. It is estimated that nearly a million spiritual stones will be used."
"Today, the total amount of all kinds of materials in the family treasury is less than one million spiritual stones."
"It's just a spiritual stone. It's just the ancestor's cultivation, but most of the contribution points are borrowed from outside."
He finally told a grim fact:
"My Zhao family has borrowed a total of 400,000 sect contribution points from the Dai family in the past few years. According to the rules of the Yunxiao Sect, a 10% handling fee must be deducted for lending between different families. The actual contribution points received are 360,000."
"According to the agreement signed at that time, the loan period was ten years, and the total interest was 20%. It's just..."
"After one year of expiration, the Dai family can request to repay it in advance, and the interest will be 10%!"
"Now, Master Miaochen of the Dai family is visiting my Zhao residence and has asked me to repay it in advance."
"My Zhao family needs to repay the Dai family 440,000 sect contribution points, of which 10% of the handling fee will also be paid by my Zhao family, so the total contribution points will be 490,000!"
"After deducting the sect's pension and the refund from the General Affairs Hall, the gap is still nearly 360,000!"
"Everyone, how should this matter be resolved?"
