Zhao Ergou's fingers left a mark of his own under his name, and this mark will also become a symbol of Zhao Ergou's identity.
"Ergou, let's continue. You can take charge. I'm going to have a rest," Mr. Zhao said and walked aside. Zhao Laifu quickly moved a chair over and Mr. Zhao sat next to Zhao Ergou.
Zhao Ergou nodded, then looked at the people in front of him and said, "You are all my uncles and aunts. The fact that I, Zhao Ergou, can sit in this position today is inseparable from your continued support. of,"
"I didn't support you," Zhao Meiqin said angrily.
Zhao Ergou ignored Zhao Meiqin and continued, "Although I have only recently returned to the Zhao family, my heart has always belonged to the Zhao family. Think about what I did after returning to the Zhao family. Because, everyone should have seen it. I, Zhao Ergou, think that the Zhao family is a big family. No matter whether we are a branch or the main family, we are all relatives and one family. We can have conflicts and problems, but The fact that we are a family cannot be changed."
"That's right," Zhao Meifeng echoed from the side, "The Zhao family is originally one family. It doesn't matter the main line or branches. What flows through everyone is the blood of the ancestors of the Zhao family."
"Well, that's right. As the saying goes, there are three things to do when a new official takes office. Today is my first day as the head of the family, Zhao Ergou. So, I think it is necessary to light this first thing a little more vigorously. What do you guys think? ," Zhao Ergou asked.
"You order it and we'll see who you burn," Zhao Meiqin said disdainfully.
"Haha, it's hard to say who is going to be burned or not. Today, I mainly want to say one thing."
As Zhao Ergou spoke, he glanced at Zhao Tiezhu and said, "Tiezhu, go and bring Manyu over."
"Um,"
Zhao Tiezhu nodded and walked out of the ancestral hall.
It seemed that it had been arranged long ago. Manyu followed the Zhao family to the outside of the ancestral hall today. Zhao Tiezhu saw Manyu as soon as he went out.
Manyu seemed to have a premonition of what was going to happen, his little face looked very solemn.
Zhao Tiezhu smiled, picked up Manyu, and walked into the ancestral hall.
"Tie Zhu, come here,"
Seeing Zhao Tiezhu coming in with Manyu in his arms, Zhao Ergou waved to Zhao Tiezhu.
Zhao Tiezhu held Manyu and walked to Zhao Ergou.
"Manyu, I think many people know her," Zhao Ergou pointed at Manyu and said.
"I know," Zhao Meifeng's eyes flashed with pity.
"Back then, Manyu's whole family was wiped out overnight. This incident shocked the entire Zhao family. Unfortunately, we were never able to find out who the murderer was," Zhao Ergou said. "I thought that this would be a shameless incident. It’s a public case, but I didn’t expect that the sky has eyes. Not long ago, I finally found a major clue to the murder case,”
When she said this, Zhao Meiqin's expression changed.
She didn't have a deep impression of Manyu. In fact, it was right to think about it. At that time, Manyu was just a child who didn't understand anything. However, Zhao Meiqin was deeply impressed by the murder case because that time , it seems that they heard that the Manyu family had some dominoes, and then they came to ask for them, but they didn't give them to them, so they wiped out the whole family.
"Bring the sound demon up,"
Zhao Ergou said.
"yes,"
After receiving the order, several of his subordinates walked aside.
Not long after, the sound demon who fought with Zhao Tiezhu last time was brought up.
Yin Mo, whom I haven't seen for a long time, looks much more depressed than last time, and his whole person is listless.
"My son went out to play some time ago and happened to meet this person, and this person is the person related to the Manyu family's extermination. Yin Mo, tell me, who hired you to participate in that extermination case? "Yes," Zhao Ergou asked.
"This..." Yin Mo hesitated and said, "It's the Qiansun family, and... your Zhao Baobao,"
"What,"
Almost everyone present was shocked by Yin Mo's words.
The massacre that year shocked the entire Zhao family. Moreover, almost everyone in the Zhao family knew about the massacre. Only one child died in the whole family. The then head of the Zhao family, Boss Zhao, was furious and vowed to punish those who had committed the crime. The person who committed the heinous crime was cut into pieces, but it was a pity that the other party's tactics were so clever that he did not leave any clues. Now this person actually revealed the person who was responsible for that incident in one sentence, and there was actually Zhao among them. Baby, how can this not be shocking?
"impossible,"
Zhao Meiqin was the first to stand up and said, "You said that my baby teamed up with outsiders to kill the same people. Have you been kicked in the head by a donkey? Is my baby someone who can do that kind of thing? Zhao Ergou, you have to slander me." You have some brains, don't you know that you will be punished for slandering your own race?"
"I also know that there is a price to pay for attacking fellow clan members," Zhao Ergou said coldly, "This Sound Demon was a participant in that incident. If you want to know the specific details, you can naturally ask him. There is no doubt about the authenticity of his words. The matter is very simple. The perpetrators of that incident were the Qian and Sun families, as well as our own Zhao Baobao. If Zhao Baobao had not been an internal agent, how could it have been so simple? The whole family was silenced without leaving any clues. At that time, my second uncle guessed that there was an insider helping to commit the crime. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be Zhao Baobao."
"Don't talk nonsense. You can't believe it at all," Zhao Meiqin said. "You just pull out a random person and say he was a participant back then. Do you have evidence? If you don't have evidence, don't talk nonsense."
"If you want evidence, take out the contract," Zhao Ergou said loudly.
"contract,"
Zhao Meiqin's face changed. She knew that there was such a contract. Those who were hired by Zhao Baobao were worried that Zhao Baobao would kill the donkey, so they asked the Qian and Sun families and Zhao Baobao to sign a contract. The purpose was to prevent these people from killing the donkey. Unexpectedly, this sound demon actually had a contract in his hands.
A Zhao family member walked up to Zhao Ergou with a box and handed the box to Zhao Ergou.
Zhao Ergou opened the box, took out a few pieces of paper from it, and said, "Here is the contract that Zhao Baobao, Qian and Sun's family signed with Yinmo. The contract said that as long as Yinmo assists them, Manyu will be When the family is wiped out, how many benefits will they give Yin Mo, while ensuring Yin Mo's safety and helping Yin Mo with some things. If you don't believe it, you can come and check it out."
"How can it be,"
Zhao Meifeng stepped forward in disbelief and picked up the contract.
After a few glances, Zhao Meifeng's expression completely changed.
