Chapter 2242

Early the next morning, I hurried to the Zhangjia old house in Jiangbei. Along the way, there were Zhangjia spies disguised as all kinds of people.

Just arriving at the door, I saw the red helmsman with a big beard coming out quickly: "patriarch, please come to the ancestral hall for discussion!"

They can know my arrival in advance and send people to wait here early. I'm not surprised at this. After all, they have already stepped into Zhangjia's sphere of influence. Now it's a very special time, and Longquan Mountain Villa should be kept at all times.

What surprised me was the look of the red helmsman. He was very serious and abnormal.

What's more, the place Zhang Yaowu invited me to is the ancestral hall.

Although Longquan villa and Jiangbei Zhangjia both put their surnames on their names, their internal core management is quite different.

Except for the leader of Longquan Mountain Villa, almost all leaders of all sizes are strangers who have no blood relationship with the dragon family. On the contrary, Zhangjia in Jiangbei is not only the leader in charge, the incense leader, but also most of the backbone members and the core forces are all the descendants of Zhangjia.

If these two families are compared to the dynasties, Longquan villa is a bit like the Ming Dynasty after Zhu Di took power. All the descendants of the Zhu family, the princes of the Ming Dynasty, are restricted by layers and have no rights at all. However, Zhangjia in Jiangbei is very similar to the early Han Dynasty or early Qing Dynasty. All the entrances and exits are controlled by the children of Zhangjia.

I think there must be changes in these two families in the thousands of years of inheritance.

Therefore, comparatively speaking, the ancestral hall of the dragon family is only the place where the villa leader sacrifices himself, and it is only a ancestral hall. But the ancestral hall of Zhangjia is the top priority of the whole family. All major resolutions are made here.

In general, no one is allowed to enter.

Now Zhang Yaowu even sent the red helmsman to lead me to the ancestral hall. For a while, I couldn't figure out what the situation was?

There are three layers in the outer part of the ancestral hall, and the outer three layers are densely packed with Zhangjia experts. Each of them wears weapons and looks solemn. In front of the main gate, there are two teams of children of Zhangjia's lineal lineage standing in a neat and tidy way, and they do not move at a glance.

There are even big gold teeth and whiskers that I have dealt with before.

I have come to Zhangjia several times, but I have never seen such a battle. The doubts in my heart are more serious!

The red helmsman led me into the ancestral hall, and then the gate behind closed heavily.

Cross the front yard and come to the back hall. There are already a dozen people waiting.

No matter from their clothes or looks, they should be the top management core of the whole Jiangbei Zhangjia.

In the middle of the seat, Zhang Yaowu, the patriarch in the middle mountain suit, saw me step into the door and beckoned, "Jiulin, come here."

At this time, I found that there was still an empty chair beside him.

The position of the chair, which was only a little forward of himself, was almost set side by side.

It's even if it's elsewhere, but in this position in the meeting hall, it's equivalent to the second in charge of vice clan leader Zhangjia.

I was a little confused and surprised. I didn't dare to sit for a moment.

Zhang Yaowu repeated again: "Jiulin, sit down!"

His face, which was very old-fashioned, was extremely grave because of its seriousness.

When I saw this, I couldn't refuse any more. I went forward and sat down in that chair. The authority of the patriarch of Zhangjia is inviolable, especially in the ancestral hall.

"Some of these people you have seen, some you have not seen, they are deacons of Zhangjia." Zhang Yaowu turned to me and said, "I had important matters to discuss when I called them back. It's a coincidence that you're here. Let's talk about it together. "

Then, Zhang Yaowu glanced at all the people and said, "Zhangjia temple has been built for thousands of years, and it has always been passed down from generation to generation. But as you all know, as early as 300 years ago, there was a civil commotion in Zhangjia. In order to seize the position of patriarch and kill each other, six branches of Zhangjia's blood left their hometown, and this branch of our ancestors is not a direct descendant. "

"My grandfather told me before he died that I must find the afterblood of Zhangjia and let Zhangjia return to orthodoxy. Now, I have not only found all six branches, but also the legitimate heirs. He is Zhang Jiulin! "

This time, everyone was surprised. They looked at each other, but no one spoke.

"Patriarch, here..." I didn't know what I was going to do, so I hurriedly declined, but as soon as I left, I was interrupted by Zhang Yaowu.

"Don't worry, I haven't finished. Although you are orthodox in Zhangjia, for some special reasons, you can't take over the position of patriarch, but I have already appointed the next successor, that is your son Zhang Xiaofan. "

As soon as the words came out, the people below were even more shocked. Even I didn't think of it at all. They were very surprised and asked, "Xiaofan?"

"Yes!" Zhang Yaowu nodded and said, "according to the Zhangjia genealogy, the name of your next generation is heaven for men and small for women. That is to say, his real name should be Zhang Tianfan, and Zhang Tianbei, who worked in the army, Zhang Xiaoai, who became a policeman, is a generationwhat? Zhang Tianbei? Zhang Xiaoai?

I was shocked again.

It turns out that these two people are not only my family, but also my nephews.

"Do you have any different opinions?" Zhang Yaowu asked with a heavy face.

People at the bottom looked around. An old man with big square head and gray hair stood up and punched Zhang Yaowu and said, "chief, your body has always been healthy like a dragon. Is it too early to set up an heir now? In addition, the child is still young, and there is nothing outstanding at present. Zhangjia has been in business for thousands of years. The position of clan leader must not be passed down lightly. Please think twice. "

"Well." Zhang Yaowu nodded his head gently.

"Patriarch." Another thin, tall, wrinkled old man stood up, shaking his hands at Zhang Yaowu and said, "I was there when the old patriarch said his last wishes. But what the old patriarch said was that if his lineage had superior strength and ability, he would return the patriarch's position to the orthodoxy and succeed the brilliance of Zhangjia. I don't say it must be passed on to my own descendants. "

"What's more, it's OK to say that Zhang yaoyang is a lineage, but is this Jiulin..." The old man glanced at me and said, "there is another saying. It's a bit inappropriate for his son to take over as the patriarch, isn't it?"

"Who else?"

Zhang Yaowu asked quietly.

"Patriarch." Another bald and white haired old man stood up and said, "first of all, I have to admit that both Zhang yaoyang and Zhang Jiulin are outstanding among their peers. It's a good thing that the outstanding talents of Yin merchants can now recognize their ancestors and return to Zhangjia. But in recent years, the two of them have the most feuds with Longquan Mountain Villa."

"And Zhang Jiulin's identity is still special. Everyone in Longquan Mountain Villa will never let him go, no matter whether he is a human or a ghost sect! If we take Zhang Jiulin back to Zhangjia and set up his son as the patriarch, I'm afraid... " Then he stopped and looked up at Zhang Yaowu.

"Say it!" Zhang Yaowu replied.

"I'm afraid we should pay more attention to the aftermath of the battle of Kunwu bridge!"

At the mention of Kunwu bridge, everyone's face trembled.

"Well." Zhang Yaowu nodded his head expressionless and asked, "who else has something to say?"

No one answered for a while.

Zhang Yaowu glanced at the three men again and shouted, "take it down!"
