Chapter 649: The following crimes are unpardonable
Everyone was horrified. As a prince of the royal family, Chen Pei'en was asked to show Chen Qi how to be respectful and grovel?
No one with a sane mind would say such outrageous things!
Chen Shipeng took a deep breath and thought something was wrong.
How could he not know Chen Pei'en's temper?
Relying on his status as the eldest prince, he usually dominates the [Chen Royal Family] and even the entire [Shangjing], and few people dare to offend him.
Originally, Chen Pei'en was the next and most popular heir to the throne of the [Chen Royal Family].
However, because the Lord Prophet recently cast a curse, saying that the [Chen Royal Family] needs a collateral heir to inherit the throne in order to avoid the [Chen Royal Family] from being annihilated.
In other words, Chen Qi and other descendants of the Chen family are here to compete with Chen Pei'en for the throne?
Since ancient times, the battle for the royal throne has been filled with bloodshed.
Some people killed their blood brothers because of the fight for superiority.
Some people do whatever they can to monopolize power.
Even if brothers are like this, what's more, people like Chen Qi are still inferior people in the eyes of the [Chen Royal Family].
A few low-class people, who are not even qualified to hold royal titles, dare to compete for the throne?
Not only Chen Pei'en, but also the rest of the Chen family felt that something was wrong.
But because of the Master Prophet and the head of the family, they dared not speak out in anger.
Therefore, Chen Pei'en, Chen Zhiman, Chen Wenbin and others deliberately made things difficult for outsiders like Chen Qi to vent their dissatisfaction.
Before Chen Qi, the other twelve candidates for the throne had been given a blow by Chen Pei'en and the others.
There was no exception. Everyone behaved submissively in front of Chen Pei'en and the other three, not even daring to take a breath.
But when he arrived at Chen Qi's place, he actually dared to compete with Chen Pei'en?
This is really surprising!
Chen Pei'en's face was terrifyingly gloomy, "You dare to talk to me like this?"
Chen Qifeng remained calm, and responded with a smile, "As the saying goes, when you meet people, you speak human words, and when you meet ghosts, you speak nonsense.
Whatever the eldest prince asks, Chen will naturally answer."
"That's unreasonable!"
At this time, the third prince Chen Zhiman stepped forward and pointed angrily at Chen Qi, "You bastard, who do you think you are?
He is just a lowly collateral descendant, but he dares to be arrogant and domineering in front of us?
It’s really no big or small!”
Chen Wenbin sneered and shook his head, "This servant is really a servant. He is arrogant and of low quality. Even basic human etiquette is so bad!"
Chen Wenbin glanced at Chen Shipeng and said, "Chen Shisan, is this the outstanding candidate you selected for the throne?"
Chen Shipeng's face turned pale with fright, and he held up his hands and apologized, "Three princes, Chen Qi is new here and doesn't understand the rules here. I'm here to apologize to you on his behalf."
“Wouldn’t it be fine if we just apologized?
Do you think we are just street beggars, so easy to get rid of?"
Chen Shipeng smiled bitterly, "Then... I wonder what the Sixth Prince wants me to do?"
Chen Wenbin put his hands behind his back, held his head high, and looked down upon Chen Qi in a condescending manner.
"I want him to kowtow and apologize to the three of us!"
"ah?"
, Chen Shipeng was horrified, "Sixth Prince, Chen Qi is a candidate for the throne. Isn't it inappropriate to ask him to kowtow in public and apologize?"
What Chen Shipeng originally wanted to say was that he believed Chen Qi was a strong contender for the throne, and he was very confident that he could successfully support Chen Qi to the throne.
It is obviously unreasonable to ask the future head of the Chen family to kowtow and apologize in public.
Of course, he would never dare to say this, otherwise, with the tempers of the three princes, not only would they not let Chen Qi go, but they would get worse!
In fact, the fact that things happened to this point was completely beyond Chen Shipeng's expectation.
He knew that the three princes had long been dissatisfied with Chen Qi and other candidates for the throne who came from the collateral line.
If you come here today, you will definitely make things difficult. This is why Chen Shipeng reminded Chen Qi earlier that there will be some unpleasantness later.
However, he really didn't expect that the three princes would be so violent.
Just because of a mistake in etiquette, Chen Qi was asked to kowtow and apologize?
Chen Shipeng brought Chen Qi to pay respects to the three of them, also to prevent the three of them from making excuses to make things difficult.
How did you know that it would be self-defeating?
If he had known this, he should not have brought Chen Qi here.
The third prince, Chen Zhiman, ignored Chen Shipeng and said, "Chen Shisan, we all still carry the title of prince after all. According to Chen family rules, anyone who commits the following offense will be treated as a serious crime! And we just let this kid kowtow to us and apologize, which is already a big deal.
of mercy!”
"Why, is it possible that you don't take us seriously now?"
Although Chen Pei'en, Chen Zhiman, and Chen Wenbin lost the qualification to compete for the throne.
But in order to make up for them, the Chen family did not reduce their status in the Chen family.
In other words, they still have the status of princes, how can they tolerate a pariah being rude?
Chen Shipeng was shocked, "I don't dare, I don't dare."
Chen Zhiman nodded slightly, "Then you don't need me to teach you what to do, right?"
As soon as he said these words, everyone around him looked at Chen Qi with a kind of joy in his misfortune.
Among them, the [Chen Royal Family] has the majority of members of its own clan, and there are also many people from the collateral clan who came to participate in the election for the throne.
Needless to say, the members of this tribe believe that with the title of "Chen Royal Family", they are born with a sense of transcendent superiority.
From the bottom of my heart, I looked down on Chen Qi and other low-ranking civilians.
As for the other collateral candidates, they claim to be high-ranking and powerful people in their respective regions.
Now that the [Chen Royal Family] has arrived, they are suddenly inferior and submissive in front of the three princes. I can't accept it for a while.
Now that I see fellow competitor Chen Qi being defeated, I suddenly feel more balanced.
Chen Shipeng looked confused and glanced at Chen Qi subconsciously, then shook his head and said, "Third Prince, I think it's better not to make a big deal out of it."
Chen Zhiman's eyes widened, "According to your opinion, the anger between the three of us is not a big deal?"
"You don't want to do it, right? Well, then we'll do it ourselves!"
"Someone, get this rude pariah down for me!"
As soon as Chen Zhiman finished speaking, he saw more than a dozen Chen family guards running out from the crowd and heavily surrounding Chen Qi.
Chen Zhiman's eyes were cold, "Chen Qi, I'll give you one last chance. Either kowtow and apologize, or be kicked out of the Chen family by us. It's your choice!"
Ding~~~
But Chen Qi took out a cigarette and lit it for himself.
He took a deep breath and exhaled, "I think what the Thirteenth Master said is right, it's better not to make things worse."
Chen Zhiman laughed angrily, "Chen Qi, although I don't know who gave you the courage to show off your power in front of our three princes, but today I will let you understand who has the final say in this Chen family!"
