"Do you have any suggestions about the choice of the head of the family?" Luo Liulang asked loudly.
Before he finished speaking, someone from the clan responded, "Rokuro deserves to be the new head of the family!"
"Yes, Rokuro is the legitimate son of brother Luo Ishikawa. If he had not been young, Rokuro would have inherited the position of head of the family. Taking over the position of head of the family now is a return to orthodoxy."
"Exactly. The caravan under Rokuro's rule has a good reputation and is quite talented in business."
"Rokuro has both political integrity and talent, and is quite like a family leader."
"If Liu Lang can succeed as the head of the family, it will be a blessing for me, Luo Shi!"
"I propose Mukuro."
"Seconded."
"Seconded."
For a time, the entire mourning hall was filled with excitement, as if Luo Liulang would lead the Luo clan to great success.
However, Lin Sui'an noticed that about two-thirds of the clan members supported Luo Liulang, and one-third of the clan members did not make a clear stance.
"That's nonsense!" Meng Man suddenly broke free from the suppression of his servants and yelled with red eyes, "The caravan led by Luo Liulang has been in deficit for three consecutive years, and he also wants to make false accounts to deceive the family owner. The family owner has long intended to take back the caravan under his name. If he will If the head of the Luo family is handed over to him, the entire Luo family will be finished!"
As soon as this statement came out, the expressions of one-third of the clan members who had not expressed their opinions changed:
"Luo Liulang, is Meng Man serious about what he said?"
"Integrity is the most important thing in business, and making false accounts is a taboo for businessmen!"
"If you really made false accounts, Luo Shi will never be left in your hands."
"To do this will destroy the foundation of Luo Family!"
Luo Liulang looked at Meng Man sideways: "It's obviously you who falsified the accounts to frame me."
Meng Man: "What?"
Luo Liulang snorted coldly, clasped his fists towards the Luo clan members and said, "You are all Luo clan members. I am connected by blood with you, how can I harm my clansmen? Everyone must have seen clearly in the past few years that Luo Shichuan would rather use Meng Manzhi I am unwilling to let outsiders take care of my business, and if things go on like this, my Luo family’s family fortune will probably be stolen by these outsiders!”
"You are so savage!" Meng Man rushed forward suddenly, but was pushed back by his servants. His bun was messy, his eyes were fierce, and he looked quite ferocious.
"The old master of the family died unexpectedly. I had expected that this person would bite back and steal Luo's family, so I have sent the account books of the caravan under my name to Zhang County Lieutenant," Luo Liulang said again, "My account books are true or false, Zhang County Lieutenant Wei will naturally give me justice."
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the tribesmen changed again, and Meng Man looked a little more resentful.
"It seems that he came well prepared," Mu Zhong whispered, "Luo Liulang lost his wife last year and remarried. The bride is a distant cousin in the Zhang County Wei clan."
Lin Sui'an: "Don't the Luo clan know?"
Mu Zhong: "What do you think?"
of course I know. Lin Sui'an was almost certain that it was because he knew about this relationship that he proposed Luo Liulang to succeed the family head. As for whether the account books were falsified, what did it matter? Those who support Luo Liulang have naturally discussed it long ago. Those who have not expressed their stance are probably just outsiders. If Zhang Xianwei's wind blows, they will soon fall to Luo Liulang.
Luo Kou's body was shaking like chaff. She forced herself to raise her head. Her tearful eyes swept over one Luo clan member after another. She shook her head and murmured, "Why... why..."
Lin Sui'an: "It's useless to cry, and it's useless to die."
Luo Kou suddenly looked at Lin Sui'an, but Lin Sui'an did not look at her, but turned his attention to the Luo clan members. "You are not dead yet, and they already have this face. If you die, they will only drink your blood and eat your flesh, and then crush you and the head of the Luo family to ashes."
Luo Liulang's words just reminded Lin Sui'an. He had always emphasized that Luo Kou's virtue was not worthy of inheriting the title of head of the family, but he never said that Luo Kou was not qualified because she was a woman. In other words, in this world, women also have the right to inherit.
Lin Sui'an recalled what he had seen in Dongshi before. There were indeed many female shopkeepers. When he entered Orchid Wine Shop, the shop owner did not make a fuss because she was a woman. Obviously, the status of women here was higher than that of the familiar feudal dynasty.
Very good, the situation was much better than she expected.
"There is a saying in my hometown, either be patient, be ruthless, or get out, which one do you want to choose?" Lin Sui'an knew that her current expression was terrifyingly indifferent, but she knew better that if Luo Kou could not be awakened at this time, This girl is afraid that she will never stand up again.
Luo Ke's tears dripped down her eyelashes, and she bit her lip hard, with blood oozing out from under her teeth.
"I--"
"Zhang County Lieutenant is here, Zhu County Lieutenant is here -" At this time, a shout came from the door.
Zhu Dachang, together with several bad guys from Li Nili, and surrounded by an official in blue shirt, hurriedly walked into the mourning hall. The common people and Luo clan members rushed to greet him and shouted, "I've seen Lieutenant Zhang and Lieutenant Zhu."
Zhu Dachang seemed a little confused about the situation and glanced at Mu Zhong. Mu Zhong frowned and shook his head, signaling him not to talk nonsense.
Zhang Xianwei was about the same age as Zhu Dachang, with a rather arrogant look on his face. He burned incense and saluted, and then he got to the point without haste. He took out an account book and said, "Zhang has already read it carefully. Luo Liulang The account books sent are clear and all entries are well-documented and are definitely not fake."
There was an uproar in the mourning hall.
"Meng Man, as an adopted son with a foreign surname, you have ulterior motives and framed me as a direct descendant of the Luo family. What are your intentions?!" Luo Liulang shouted angrily.
The Luo clan members turned against each other one after another:
"No need to ask, he must be coveting my Luo family's ancestral property!"
"The old master used him so much when he was here, I'm afraid he was also deceived by him!"
"This kind of person actually holds an important position as a caravan manager. I, Luo Shi, are in danger!"
"Get this man out!"
"Get out!"
"Get out!"
Amidst the roars of anger, Meng Man was pressed to the floor by four servants, his eyes were cracked and blood was flowing from the corners of his mouth.
Zhu Dachang looked unbearable. Mu Zhong glanced at Lin Sui'an and saw that Lin Sui'an had a cold expression and was unmoved. He couldn't help but be a little surprised. Although he had known Lin Sui'an for a short time, when Hu Ji's wine shop was in danger before, She tried her best to save her. Just now, the young lady of the Luo family was about to hit the coffin and commit suicide, but it was she who stepped forward to save her. Mu Zhong thought that Lin Sui'an was definitely not someone who would just sit back and watch.
But her look at this moment...
Mu Zhong saw Luo Kou grabbing Lin Sui'an's sleeve. Lin Sui'an still said with an indifferent expression, "This is Luo's family matter, and outsiders are not allowed to interfere."
Luo Kou's tears rolled down her face: "Save brother..."
Lin Sui'an shook his head: "I can't save him."
Four servants dragged Meng Man out. Meng Man dug his hands into the floor, and his nails were cracked, leaving ten bloody marks: "I won't leave. I am the son of the Luo Family Master, and I am the Luo family's child! No one can try to chase her away. I leave Roche!"
The people onlookers couldn't bear to watch anymore, and the Luo clan just watched in silence. Luo Liulang and Zhang Xianwei looked at each other and smiled.
Luo Kou cried so hard that her whole body trembled: "Sister Lin... please..."
Lin Sui'an simply closed his eyes.
Mu Zhongcheng couldn't stand it any longer, and was about to take action when he heard a scream. Luo Kou ran out and threw himself on Meng Man, crying sternly, "Brother is definitely not such a person! You slandered my brother and robbed the family of the head of the family." Your Majesty, my grandpa is very knowledgeable and will not let you go!"
"Luo Kou colluded with outsiders to harm the Luo family. Drive them out together!" Luo Liulang screamed.
Four more servants with big muscles and round waists rushed up to pull Luo Kou. Mu Zhong was shocked and rushed out quickly. But at this moment, he suddenly felt a strong wind flashing in front of his eyes, and a shadow flashed across his eyes. The next moment, a black light suddenly appeared. In a flash, the eight servants flew out of the sky and hit the Luo clan members, causing everyone to scream.
Mu Zhong took a breath and watched Lin Sui'an stand in front of Luo Kou. She stood tall and straight, with sharp eyes. She didn't even draw her sword, but used only the scabbard to knock away the eight servants in an instant. .
Before the smiles on the faces of Luo Liulang and Zhang County Lieutenant had time to dissipate, their eyes were filled with fear. Their faces showed a strange state of half joy and half horror, which looked a little funny.
Zhu Da often covered his mouth and his eyes rolled around. He didn't know why, but there was a bit of schadenfreude in his eyes.
I saw Lin Sui'an, who had an indifferent expression just now, touched Luo Kou's head and smiled slightly. She had long eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and her facial features were quite sharp. When she didn't smile or speak, she was rejecting people from thousands of miles away. He looked cold on the outside, but his smile now showed a bit of gentleness and suaveness.
Um?
Mu Zhong rubbed his eyelids, suspecting that he had developed presbyopia before he reached his fifties, but he actually saw the temperament of Yushu Linfeng in a young lady.
Wait, she hasn't taken action. Is she waiting for the Luo family's young lady to stand up on her own?
"Who are you?!" Zhang County Lieutenant shouted angrily.
"Passers-by." Lin Sui'an said.
Luo Liulang stepped forward and whispered a few words in Zhang Xianwei's ear. Zhang Xianwei looked a little strange, "Are you the Lin family lady who competed with Miss Luo for her husband?"
The people watching were in an uproar.
Lin Sui'an: "Wrong. I am a normal person who divorced the scumbag like the young lady of the Luo family."
Lieutenant Zhang: "Scum, what's scum?"
"A scumbag. A man who despises the poor and loves the rich, who starts off in chaos but ends up giving up, who is immoral and immoral, and who only relies on his status and face to defraud women of their love and money," Lin Sui'an said, "Isn't this kind of man the scum of the trash? Ah, no. , should be called here, the scum among the shit, or simply the scumbag."
Someone among the people whistled.
Zhang Xianwei suddenly became anxious: "You need to talk nonsense, that person is - not an ordinary person!"
"Doesn't shit with gold edges not be shit?" Lin Sui'an asked.
Lieutenant Zhang was somewhat of a scholar, so he obviously didn't expect Lin Sui'an's words to be so vulgar, and he immediately blushed.
The onlookers listened lively and happily. They felt that what this little lady said was to their liking, and they couldn't help laughing.
"Little lady, what kind of scumbag are you? Tell us and open our eyes!"
"Yes, yes!"
According to Lin Sui'an's temperament, she would definitely tell the world about Su Chengxian's name, so that everyone could see what the so-called high-ranking scholars were, but when she saw Mu Zhong shaking his head slightly, Zhu Dachang went crazy. He shook his hand and swallowed Su Chengxian's name.
Mu Zhong and Zhu Dachang had helped her, but it was better not to cause trouble to them.
"A scumbag, his name is not important. What is important is -" Lin Sui'an looked at the Luo clan members, "These people, for their own selfish desires, treat this scumbag like jewels and flattery. It is obvious that the scumbag is the murderer. But they deliberately tried to excuse him, and instead poured dirty water on the victim. Such an ugly act of touching his buttocks and holding his farts is truly breathtaking!"
"Vulgar! Vulgar!" Luo Liulang yelled, "beat this woman out!"
No servant dared to step forward. They had really seen Lin Sui'an's skills just now. This little lady's attacks were cruel and vicious, and the brothers who had fainted hadn't woken up yet.
Luo Liulang suddenly became anxious: "Lieutenant Zhang..."
County Lieutenant Zhang glanced at Zhu Dachang. Zhu Dachang shook his head with a smile and whispered, "I don't know where this little lady came from. My men are no match for her. How about we go to the government office to transfer some people?"
"You're just a little lady, you don't think it's embarrassing, but I think it's dirty the face of the county government!" Zhang County Lieutenant glared at Zhu Dachang, then gave Luo Liulang a comforting look, and then looked at Lin Sui'an, "This is Luo Shi In what capacity does Madam Lin intervene in family affairs?"
Lin Sui'an: "Lieutenant Zhang is not from the Luo family either."
Zhang County Lieutenant: "Zhang is a parent official of Nanpu County, so naturally he has to make decisions for the people under his rule."
Lin Sui'an nodded and took half a step back, "Luo Kou is the only daughter of the Luo family, and is not considered an outsider."
Luo Liulang snorted coldly, "As I said just now, Luo Kou killed the family leader and is no longer worthy of being a member of the Luo clan——"
"Did Luo Kou kill the head of the Luo family?" Lin Sui'an's voice was sharp, and the coldness in his eyes was like a sword piercing.
Luo Liulang was agitated. For some reason, Miss Lin looked at her and his mouth suddenly became a little uncontrollable. "Of course not, but if Luo Kou hadn't regretted the marriage, how could he have provoked the murderer to kill the head of the family? Luo Kou led the wolf into the house, It’s hard to take the blame!”
"You mean, because Luo Kou wanted to marry the murderer before, he is an indirect murderer?"
"exactly."
Lin Sui'an sneered, pointed at Luo Liulang and shouted, "Then you are also the murderer of the Luo family head!"
Luo Liulang staggered at his feet, "W-what?!"
Lin Sui'an held Qianjing high and pointed the scabbard at the Luo clan members one by one, "And you, you, you, you, you! All of you are murderers!"
"What nonsense!"
"Bloody mouth!"
"This village woman is crazy!"
Lin Sui'an: "I remember clearly that on the day I signed the annulment document, you kept saying that the marriage between Luo Shi and the murderer was a great thing, and you flattered the murderer to the best of your ability. You wished you were your daughter and committed to marrying him. . According to your logic, aren’t you the one who lured the wolf into the house? Aren’t you the one to blame? Aren’t you the indirect murderer?!”
The sharp voice was as sharp as a knife, cutting through the fig leaf of the Luo clan. Some became angry, and some hid their faces in shame. Luo Liulang almost rushed up and tore Lin Sui'an's mouth off, "I, we were deceived by the murderer! We are also victims. people!"
"Luo Kou was also deceived by the murderer! Luo Kou was also a victim!" Lin Sui'an's eyes were red, "She had just died of her father, and before the coffin was buried, you, the blood relatives, accused her of killing her father and killed them all. . The way of heaven is clear and retribution will be unsatisfactory. The spirit of the head of the Luo family is on top. Ask yourselves, can you live up to your own conscience?!"
The words were deafening, and there was a dead silence in the mourning hall.
The people watching silently wiped away their tears, and many people glared at the Luo clan members. The Luo clan members were either red in the face or pale in color, and wanted to pierce a hole and stuff their heads in.
Luo Liulang's mouth was dry and he wanted to say something to refute, but he was speechless.
"Lieutenant Zhang," Lin Sui'an glanced over, "You keep saying that you are the official of Nanpu County and you have to make decisions for the people under your rule. Do you dare to ask, is Luo Kou a citizen of Nanpu County?"
The eyes of all the people suddenly turned to Zhang Xianwei. Zhang Xianwei's face trembled and he said with difficulty, "Yes."
"Should you make the decision for her?!"
"nature."
Lin Sui'an lifted his robe and knelt down, raising his voice and saying, "Please County Lieutenant Zhang make the decision for the people! Don't let innocent people be wronged!"
Luo Kou knelt down with a plop, and Mu Zhong knelt down second, followed closely by Zhu Dachang and the bad guys. Then, the people inside and outside the mourning hall knelt on the ground and shouted in unison, "Please ask County Lieutenant Zhang Make decisions for the people and don’t let innocent people suffer injustice!”
The crowd's voices shook the mourning hall, and the autumn wind blew the spiritual flags, swaying like ghosts, as if they were echoing the aspirations of the people.
Zhang County Lieutenant's lips turned blue, and he squeezed out a few words through his teeth, "This County Lieutenant shall make the decision for Miss Luo!"
Luo Liulang suddenly became anxious: "But, but, there is also Meng Man——"
"Shut up!" Zhang Xianwei glared at Luo Liulang fiercely and walked away.
The people cheered in unison, and Lin Sui'an breathed a sigh of relief, only to realize that his head was covered with sweat.
Luo Kou and Meng Man both hugged their heads and cried. Zhu Da often exclaimed with joy, "I have been an official for so long, and today is the most satisfying day." This made several bad guys in Li Ni very happy.
Mu Zhong squatted next to Lin Sui'an and gave a thumbs up: "This is a powerful trick to treat the person in his own way."
"Don't say it's a joke, Duke Mu, it's just a delaying tactic." Lin Sui'an wiped his sweat, glanced at Luo Kou and Meng Man, and paused, "Does what Duke Mu said before still count?"
Mu Zhong's eyes flashed, "What do you want me to do for you?"
