Immortal Mansion: With mediocre qualifications, I have no choice but to live forever
Chapter 198 It’s settled
Ling Yun changed his previous condescending attitude and spoke to He Dongsheng in an eager tone.
He Dongsheng heard this, smiled and clasped his fists, and then said in a pretentious manner.
"Everyone knows that in our Chu country, since the Holy Emperor ascended the throne, family representatives from all over the country have always been virtuous."
"Now that our He family has the help of Master Jin Dan, I must be able to serve as the next Yutan County family representative, right?"
He Dongsheng stated his demands directly without any intention of beating around the bush.
As soon as he finished speaking, the whole room fell into silence again.
Everyone present looked at each other, but no one spoke first.
After all, the position of the Yutan County family representative is related to the interests of all families. Even if the He family has the help of Jindan Zhenren, everyone does not want to hand over this interest to others.
While everyone in the room was silent, the obese head of the Zhao family suddenly spoke.
"Clan Chief He, your words are not kind!"
The words of the head of the Zhao family immediately attracted everyone's attention.
She took a step forward, left the crowd, looked around, her eyes swept across everyone's faces, and finally settled on He Dongsheng, and spoke in a bad tone.
"Clan Chief He's words are too disrespectful to the family heads of Yutan County, right?"
He Dongsheng's expression suddenly changed when he heard this. He didn't care about the occasion at all and cursed loudly.
"Zhao Manli, you vicious woman, don't try to speak up and speak up!"
"Today the selection of family representatives is very important. The debts of killing the three junior members of my He family will be settled with your Zhao family sooner or later!"
After Zhao Manli heard this, not only was she not angry, but she used her fat body to tease her.
"Master He's words are too hurtful."
"Isn't it for the benefit of all my family members in Yutan County that I speak so righteously?"
"If not, just anyone can come with Jin Dan Zhenren to bully others. Wouldn't the selection of the family representatives be messed up?"
"Hmph! Zhao Manli, stop using such high-sounding excuses to excuse everyone!"
"Do you really think that my He family doesn't know that your Zhao family and Xu family are colluding in an attempt to monopolize the position of the representative of this family?"
He Dongsheng snorted coldly, directly exposing Zhao Manli's lie.
At this time, he had completely torn off the disguise and told the secrets of the Zhao family and the Xu family in front of everyone without mercy.
Zhou Yiqiao sat on the high platform, looked at the He family, and shook his head secretly.
This He Dongsheng may have realized that he had a backer and did not take other families seriously at all, so he actually broke up with the Zhao and Xu families in front of everyone.
With a thought in his mind, he sent a message to He Dongsheng, without any warmth in his tone.
"I'm just here to help put pressure on you. I won't take action, so I can take care of myself."
Sure enough, He Dongsheng received the message from Zhou Yiqiao, and his face suddenly turned ugly.
He raised his eyes and glanced at Zhou Yiqiao on the high platform, took a deep breath, and calmed down his attitude.
After all, He Dongsheng was the patriarch of a foundation-building family, so naturally he would not be so stupid.
The reason why he acted so wantonly was because he wanted to bring Zhou Yiqiao down and completely tie him to the He family.
But at this moment, all his little thoughts were seen through by Zhou Yiqiao, so he naturally had to stop playing, so as not to offend a real Jindan master, which would outweigh the gains.
Without Zhou Yiqiao's help, the He family would completely lose the possibility of competing for the Yutan County family representative.
Although he felt very aggrieved, He Dongsheng had no choice but to endure it for the time being as his current form was stronger than others.
"What Family Master Zhao said is very interesting. The person with the ability to represent the family is a rule set by the Holy Emperor himself. Now my He family is the most powerful, so I deserve the position of family representative!"
"Could it be that the Zhao family leader thinks there is something wrong with the Holy Emperor's rules?"
Although He Dongsheng was soft on Zhou Yiqiao, he had no intention of letting the Zhao family go easily.
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Manli's face, which was originally quite proud, changed slightly.
"Master He, don't slander anyone! We must obey the Holy Emperor's words."
Seeing that Zhao Manli did not dare to answer, He Dongsheng turned his attention to representatives of several other families.
"Clan Chief Liu, Chief Wang, Chief Li, what do you think?"
These families were originally vacillating on the wall. Seeing the strong situation of the He family, they naturally did not dare to have any objections and all handed over.
"Rules are rules. The He family is the most powerful now, so naturally we should become the representative of this family. We are willing to listen to the orders of Chief He."
Several people expressed their positions one after another, and He Dongsheng nodded with satisfaction.
Immediately afterwards, he turned his head and glanced at Zhao Manli with a playful look, then looked at the head of the Xu family who had been silent, and asked.
"Master Xu, you see that all the clan leaders have agreed that I, the He family, will serve as the next family representative. Do you have any objections?"
Hearing He Dongsheng's question, the head of the Xu family, who had never spoken, answered loudly.
"My people of the Chu Kingdom must obey the orders of the Holy Emperor, and my Xu family also recognizes the He family as the representative of the family."
Although this person's tone was free and easy, the unwillingness between his brows could not be concealed.
After all, the reason why the Xu family has always been able to outdo the He family is because of the huge benefits brought by this family representative.
If the He family becomes the next family representative, then he will have to step down from his position as the first foundation-building family in Yutan County in a few years.
"Since all the family heads have agreed, City Master Ling, I wonder if you can announce the candidate for the next family representative?"
After He Dongsheng received the answer, he nodded with satisfaction.
Immediately, he turned around and asked Ling Yun beside Zhou Yiqiao for instructions.
After hearing He Dongsheng's words, Ling Yun hesitated slightly, and then slowly opened his mouth after a moment.
"Since all of you are meaningless, then the He family will serve as the family representatives of Yutan County for the next thirty years!"
After saying that, he took out a jade slip from the storage bag at his waist and put his mark on it.
After doing this, Ling Yun handed the jade slip to He Dongsheng.
"This jade slip contains the duties that the family representative needs to perform. I also ask Chief He to return to the He Mansion as soon as possible and select a candidate to take over the position left vacant after the Xu family leaves!"
After taking the jade slip, He Dongsheng showed joy on his face.
"Thank you City Lord Ling for reminding me. I will select a suitable candidate as soon as possible without delaying the work of the county guard and the city Lord!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Yun nodded indifferently, then fell silent again.
Although according to the instructions of the county governor, the family representatives of this term should be chosen from the Zhao and Xu families.
But at this moment, because of the unexpected change of Zhou Yiqiao, he still had to consider how to explain to the county governor.
Ling Yun's thoughts were unknown to Zhou Yiqiao and the two of them. When the matter came to an end, they bid farewell to everyone in the room and quickly returned to the square.
