1805
A gunshot rang out, but it did not hit Zhao Taiheng.
Xu Taiping stood behind Zhao Taiheng, holding the bullet that had shot out from Zhao Taiji's gun.
That bullet did not cause any damage to Xu Taiping's hand.
"You, you actually dare to shoot." Xu Taiping frowned.
"Everyone, get ready." Zhao Taiji shouted.
All the gunners were ready.
Under the barrage of dozens of black guns, the people of the Zhao Family sitting inside the Ancestral House did not panic at all.
Everyone was sitting there with calm expressions on their faces. Even Zhao Taiheng, who was shot and missed, had the same calm expression.
It was as if the guns were toys to them.
Zhao Taiheng slowly turned around and looked at Zhao Taiji.
"Third brother, you … have disappointed me greatly." Zhao Taiheng said.
"You forced me to do this." Zhao Taiji said.
"Since you've already shot at me, I think that there's no room for discussion on this matter." Zhao Taiheng said.
"As long as you want to leave, no matter who you are, you can leave now." Zhao Taiji said.
"Tai Ji, you still don't understand our family. Who in our family is afraid of death?" Zhao Taiheng shook his head.
All the Zhao Family members revealed smiles on their faces. Indeed, there was no one who was afraid of death in the Zhao Family.
Seeing this, Zhao Taiji clenched his fists. If he didn't want to give up the position of Patriarch, he could only order these people to be killed. However, if he killed these people, that wouldn't be good either.
This was a very awkward situation.
At this moment, a sigh suddenly sounded out.
"Third brother, you … Let's give up the Patriarch's seat. "
The moment this voice was heard, everyone present was stunned. Then, all of them turned their heads to look outside the ancestral hall at the same time.
Outside the ancestral home, a slightly thin figure walked in step by step.
When everyone saw this person's face, they all revealed a shocked expression.
"Tai Xun?"
"Why is it you, Tai Xun?!"
Shouts and screams rang out in the scene.
The person who walked in from outside was none other than the long-dead Zhao Taixu.
"Taixu!" Zhao Taiheng was also stunned.
"Big brother, there's peace. Hello everyone." A faint smile appeared on Zhao Taixu's face.
"Why are you here? Haven't you already …" Zhao Taiheng asked in disbelief.
"I was lucky enough to survive." Zhao Taixu looked at Zhao Taiji and said, "Old Third, long time no see."
Zhao Taiji looked at Zhao Taixu in fear. He couldn't understand why Zhao Taixu was still alive.
"It's great that you're not dead!" Zhao Taiheng ran to Zhao Taixu excitedly and hugged him, then said, "We all thought you were dead … "Eh, that's not right. We found your body in your car and checked it. It was your DNA. How did you not die?"
"I'm not dead, but I just don't want others to know that I'm not dead. While no one was paying attention to me, I found a lot of things. Of course, most of these things are related to our third brother." Zhao Taixu looked at Zhao Taiji and said.
"Two, what did you say?" Zhao Taiji asked stiffly.
"Tai Chi, give up the position of the Patriarch. There are many things that I am willing to privately settle with us brothers. I don't want to bring so many things onto the table." Zhao Taixu said.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Zhao Taiji shook his head.
"Are you really planning to stubbornly resist until the end?" Zhao Taixu asked.
"Resisting until the end? I don't even know what you're talking about. Zhao Taiji asked.
"This place is what I've investigated for the past year or so. There is evidence of you having someone blow up my car, evidence of you colluding with the creator of this world, and, of course, evidence of you poisoning my father's medicine. I really regret pretending to be dead, because I didn't think that you would …" No one would have thought that Father died from grief. Actually, Father died because of the poison that you poured day after day, and this poison, in terms of pharmacology, is almost exactly the same as the poison that the troops were given. " Zhao Taixu said coldly.
"What did you say?" Xu Taiping asked in shock.
As for whether or not these two things are related, that can only be asked us. Tai Chi, I don't blame you for taking action against me, but you shouldn't have taken action against your father. He dotes on you so much, how can you be so heartless to poison him? Zhao Taixu asked.
"You're slandering me. I didn't poison my father at all. Your death has nothing to do with me. You must be a fake Taixu! You must be!" Zhao Taiji shouted excitedly.
"Taiping, since you want the position of Patriarch, then … I'll leave Tai Chi to you. Take him down. " Zhao Taixu said.
"As you wish!" Xu Taiping laughed coldly and walked over to Zhao Taiji.
Zhao Taiji took a few steps back in fear, but ended up bumping into the gunmen he brought with him.
"Shoot them! Kill them! Kill them!" Zhao Taiji shouted.
The gunmen were all standing still. They were all members of the Zhao Family, so they had to listen to orders from the head of the Zhao Family. However, after Zhao Taiji's scandal broke, they all chose to stay silent.
"Quickly beat them to death!" Zhao Taiji shouted.
"You can shut up now." As Xu Taiping spoke, he appeared in front of Zhao Taiji in a flash and threw out a punch.
Bang!
With a dull thud, Zhao Taiji fell to the ground.
To Xu Taiping, Zhao Taiji, who was only slightly stronger than ordinary people, was as weak as an ant.
"All of you, leave. "Zhao Yinglong, you stay." Zhao Taixu said.
"Please spare my life, second master! I didn't know that the family head would actually do such a thing!" Zhao Yinglong was so excited that he fell to his knees and begged.
"You shut up." Zhao Taixu scolded, then looked at Zhao Taiheng and said, "Big Brother, let's start the impeachment procedure!"
"En!" Zhao Taiheng nodded, walked to the wall and announced the impeachment procedure.
With Zhao Taiheng's order, the Zhao Family officially started the impeachment procedure. After that, by a majority of votes, the Zhao Family decided to remove Zhao Taiji from the position of Patriarch. At the same time, the Zhao Family announced that Xu Taiping would take over the position of Patriarch.
This was the first Patriarch in the history of the Zhao Clan who didn't have the surname Zhao. Zhao Taiheng had once communicated with Xu Taiping, asking him to take the surname Zhao, but Xu Taiping refused.
The bell tolled within the Zhao Clan.
The Zhao Family decided that Xu Taiping would take over as the head of the Zhao Family. At the same time, the Zhao Family announced that Xu Taiping's successor ceremony would be held three days later.
When the bell tolled, everyone in the Zhao Clan stopped what they were doing and listened to it.
This bell had rung not long ago. Every time it rang out, it meant that the Zhao Family was about to choose a new Patriarch.
In the past, every time the Zhao Family's Patriarch changed, it required a very long interval of time. Basically, it was from ten to twenty years ago, so most people would only hear this bell once in a lifetime. But now, in less than a year, the bell had rung twice.
Many people were very nervous about Xu Taiping taking over the Zhao Family, because he was the first Zhao Family Patriarch to have no Zhao surname.
A person with the surname Xu had become the head of the Zhao Family. In the past, people would definitely laugh at him if they told others about it, but now, it was not a joke, as Xu Taiping's identity was still there, but it was rather strange. Many people did not know what this man with the surname Xu would bring to the future of the Zhao Family.
Somewhere in the Zhao Family.
"I've already ordered my men to detain Taiji and Zhao Yinglong." Zhao Taixu sat across Xu Taiping and said.
"Second Bro, did Third Bro really do it to you?" Zhao Taiheng frowned and asked. Even though he had read the evidence given by Zhao Taixu, Zhao Taiheng was still a little unwilling to believe that Zhao Taiji would actually make a move against Zhao Taiheng.
"Yes." Zhao Taixu nodded.
"Sigh." Zhao Taiheng sighed, not knowing what to say.
"Tai Chi, he's no longer the Tai Chi from back then." Zhao Taixu said coldly, "He... has been completely brainwashed by the creator of this world. "
"The creator of this world!" Zhao Taiheng clenched his fists and said, "I will definitely make this organization pay the price."
"I think the most important thing now is to think about how to deal with Zhao Taiji." Xu Taiping said.
Zhao Taiheng and Zhao Taixu glanced at each other.
How to deal with Zhao Taiji was a question worth discussing.
Zhao Taiji was suspected of having killed his own brother, which was already a big crime in the Zhao Family. According to the Zhao Family's rules, any son of the Zhao Family who hurt another heir of the Zhao Family should be punished severely. People like Zhao Taiji who killed their brother and poisoned their own father should be punished by the punishment.
However, if it was really the ultimate punishment, then it would be the biggest event in the history of the Zhao Family, because from the era of Zhao Tianzhu a hundred years ago until now, the Zhao Family had never carried out the ultimate punishment on any member of the Zhao Family, not to mention that this person was the previous head of the Zhao Family.
"I have a suggestion." Xu Taiping said.
"What proposal?" Zhao Taiheng asked.
"Leave everything to the country." Xu Taiping said lightly.
