Chapter 79 The Mantis Catches the Cicada Oriole Behind
In the City Lord's Mansion, Liu Hongyi already knew the news that Zhao Wuyou was taken away.You don't need to guess to know, it must be Mu Baili's instruction.Let me ask, who in Jinling City dares to do anything grandiosely in the government office, except for Mu Baili, who has come from the capital, and must have something to bear on him.

But as long as Zhao Wuyou doesn't come out to interfere with the affairs of Seven Star Villa, there won't be any surprises.

The second young master arrived as promised and entered the City Lord's Mansion through the back door.

In the study, Liu Hongyi's face was not very good-looking, probably because he didn't sleep well last night.

When the Second Young Master came, Liu Hongyi was resting his forehead with one hand, sitting there motionless with a slight headache.

"See the city lord!" The second young master saluted respectfully.

Tian Lei went out, quickly closed the door, and stood guard outside.

Liu Hongyi didn't look up, just waved his hands casually, "Sit down!"

"Thank you, the city lord!" The second young master sat down, and took out a piece of paper from his pocket, "The land that the city lord wants, here is the title deed. But whatever the city lord wants, we can do our best to satisfy."

Hearing this, Liu Hongyi sighed and raised his head, "Second Young Master, you are polite."

"As long as it is what the city lord wants, our Song family can do it as much as possible. I came here today only to hope that the city lord can fulfill his promise." The second son stood up and bowed, "This Zhong Haotian is no longer from the Song family, but he still wants to occupy the magpie's nest." , being the lord of my Seven Star Villa is really abominable, I hope the lord of the city can uphold justice."

Liu Hongyi stared at him, "Don't you know what I want?"

The second young master said, "I did not find that secret path, but don't worry, the city lord, I will continue to search. If I can become the owner of the Seven Star Villa, the Seven Star Villa and the city lord's mansion will definitely cooperate happily. No matter what you want to do, Seven Star Villa will do as you please."

"Okay!" Liu Hongyi got up, "When did you find the secret way, and when will you come and tell me the conditions."

The second young master stepped forward and offered the land deed with both hands, "A little respect, I hope the city lord can accept it with a smile."

Liu Hongyi rubbed the center of his eyebrows, closed his eyes, "Leave it alone!"

Seeing that Liu Hongyi didn't seem to be very interested, and the second son's face was not too good-looking, "Did the city lord encounter any troubles? Is there anything Qixing Villa can do to help?"

"It's nothing." Liu Hongyi sighed softly, "The second son has a heart, and I accept it. The position of the owner of Seven Star Villa is an internal matter of your Seven Star Villa, so the court will not intervene. Do you understand what I mean?"

The Second Young Master was overjoyed, "Thank you, City Lord."

As long as the imperial court doesn't intervene, as long as Zhao Wuyou doesn't help Zhong Haotian, then the matter of Qixing Villa is an internal conflict within the family, and it only needs to be dealt with internally.No one in the Song family likes Zhong Haotian, after all, he, who was expelled, still bears the filthy name of the fourth lady.

If the internal meeting of the Song Clan is reconvened, Zhong Haotian will definitely be taken away as the successor of the owner.

Thinking of this, the second young master was delighted from the bottom of his heart.

With Liu Hongyi's promise, this matter became much easier.

The second son got Liu Hongyi's promise, so he naturally left happily, seeing that the position of the owner of the villa was already in his pocket.

At the back door of the City Lord's Mansion, the carriage gradually drifted away.

Suxi was wearing a bamboo hat, standing warmly, clenched the cold sword in her hand, curled her lips into a cold smile.Sure enough, the sack was poked out from inside. Someone inside the Seven Stars Villa wanted to seize the position of the owner of the villa, so there was such a commotion.

It's really pitiful for the old owner, who had a glorious life in his lifetime, but at the moment of his death, he ended up like this.

Su Xi turned around and left, found a gap and quietly entered the Seven Star Villa.

The old owner's coffin was placed in the main hall, and Zhong Haotian, dressed in filial piety, stood guard in the mourning hall alone.Even though the old owner was dead and the succession ceremony was delayed, Zhong Haotian, who was only missing the final handover ceremony, seemed to be the new owner in the eyes of everyone in Seven Star Villa.

Walking to the coffin, looking at his father lying quietly inside, Zhao Wuyou's words came to mind: The tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop; the son wants to be filial but not to be loved.

After all, it is a prophecy, and now it is really true that the son wants to be filial and does not wait for his relatives.

Standing there, Zhong Haotian's eyes were dark, staring intently at Song Gu who always closed his eyes.

When he was alive, he was so stubborn that he didn't hesitate to speak ill at each other.Now I regret it, but there is no chance to make up for it.The father and son have spent their whole lives in guilt and regret, but they bid farewell in this way at the end of the day.

It's clear that they can be married, but they end up on different sides, and it's too late to regret.

"So, time waits for no one, young master is right." Su Xi walked in from the outside, "Now I regret it, but I have no chance."

Seeing Suxi, Zhong Haotian was taken aback for a moment, and then subconsciously squeezed the edge of the coffin tightly, "Why are you here? Are you not afraid of being caught by them?"

"If you can catch me, I won't show up here." Suxi smiled coldly, "A bunch of wine bags and rice bags, hmph - I don't pay attention to them. Everyone in Qixing Villa is now in danger, guarding against omissions, I go in when I want, and get out when I want. The No. [-] Villa in Jinling is nothing more than mediocre."

"Just say what you want." Zhong Haotian looked at her, "Is it Master Zhao's business?"

Su Xi raised her lips and sneered, "Young master is far-sighted, how can a mere cage trap her. What kind of thing is Liu Hongyi, and he dares to tamper with you, so he is looking for his own death." After speaking, she took a step forward and took a small The cloth bag was thrown to Zhong Haotian, "Young master gave it to you, the next thing is up to you."

"Is Mr. Zhao okay?" Zhong Haotian clenched the small bag in his hand, there was something inside, it seemed to be hard, but he didn't know what it was.

"Don't worry, the young master will be fine, but you have to be careful. The second young master has teamed up with the Song family and has contact with the city lord Liu Hongyi. I'm afraid the purpose behind it is not pure." Suxi clenched the cold sword in her hand, "You The position of the suzerain is already crumbling."

"I never cared about the position of the owner of the village. If I knew that the position of the owner would kill my father, I would rather not have it." Zhong Haotian gritted his teeth.

"It's too early to say that." Su Xi put on the bamboo hat, "Since your father left you the position of owner, he must have thought about it. Even if it's for your father, you should still be in charge of the Seven Stars Villa. Otherwise, Seven Stars If the villa falls into the hands of those who are willing, your father's life's hard work will be in vain. Do you have the heart to see such a result? Your father is dead, and the dead cannot be resurrected. What you should do is to inherit your father's last wish , to revitalize the Seven Star Villa."

"The other thing is to find out who killed your father. I believe that among these candidates for the position of owner, someone must be the real murderer. Don't you want to find the real murderer and avenge your father?"

Zhong Haotian clenched the things in his hand, "How can I not avenge the murder of my father."

"Ambition." Su Xi walked out, "Zhong Haotian, fight for what's your own, no one sympathizes with the weak, only the strong who are attached." After the sound fell, she jumped lightly and disappeared into the Seven Stars Villa.

Su Xi came and went quickly.

It disappeared like the wind in the blink of an eye, as if it had never been there.

Looking down at the small cloth bag in his palm, Zhong Haotian was stunned on the spot when he opened it.He suddenly understood what Su Xi's words meant just now.Clenched fists, that is emotionally high to a certain extent.

Taking a deep breath, Zhong Haotian knelt in the mourning hall, kowtowed respectfully towards the coffin, "Father, I will definitely find out the truth and avenge you. This Qixing Villa—" He closed his eyebrows heavily, "Haotian will help you If you pick it up, you will surely live up to your father’s expectations.”

After the Second Young Master came back, things began to progress.

Zhong Haotian was still guarding the mourning hall, but a large number of guards quickly surrounded the mourning hall, and then the eldest son and the second son walked in side by side.Glancing at Zhong Haotian who was kneeling in front of the coffin, his eyes were sharp and his expression was almost cannibalistic.

"What do you want to do? What kind of place is this, and you dare to break in?" Zhong Haotian said coldly, "Get out!"

"Zhong Haotian, what qualifications do you have to stay here?" The eldest son sneered, "You are not a descendant of the Song family, and you are also a person who was rejected by your father and expelled from Qixing Villa. You still have the face to kneel here today? The one who should get out , I'm afraid it's you!"

Zhong Haotian instantly understood that they were here to take an oath of sovereignty, and they were in a hurry to drive his father out before his funeral.We must know that once the old owner dies, the successor owner must personally preside over the funeral of the old owner, so as to announce to the world the legitimacy of the successor owner.

His heart was extremely cold, Zhong Haotian swept across the crowd coldly, "Father has just died, and his bones are not yet cold, are you so eager to take the position of the owner of the villa? Where is your conscience?"

But after thinking about it, yes, it seems that not everyone has a conscience.

Zhong Haotian lowered his head and sneered, he was really stupid enough to even ask people if they had a conscience.Isn't it obvious that his father came to seize the throne before his bones were cold?
"Hmph, you are not from the Song family, why are you talking about being the owner of the village?" The eldest son snorted coldly, "Zhong Haotian, your surname is Zhong, not Song."

"Are you really a beast if I call you a pig and a dog?" Zhong Haotian straightened his body, "You are surnamed Song, but so what? I was the one who attended the succession ceremony that day, not you. Heroes of the world It is obvious to all, how can you allow you to turn black and white."

"It's not certain whether your father's death has anything to do with you. You should not put on the stance of the owner here."

Zhong Haotian took a deep breath, "I will definitely find out about Dad's death. No matter who attacks Dad, I will never let it go."

The sharp eyes slashed at everyone in front of them, and the guards looked at each other, not knowing whether to advance or retreat, or whether they were in a dilemma.

Obviously, this is an internal war, just for the position of the owner.If you stand in the wrong camp, you may suffer a crushing defeat, and you will not know how you will die at that time, so everyone does not know who to help.

The eldest son is good at martial arts, the second son has a high reputation, and the fifth son is also a legitimate successor to the owner of the villa.

"Stop talking nonsense, you and that Zhao Wuyou must be in the same group. Dad died after seeing you, and you dare to say that it has nothing to do with you. Zhong Haotian, stop pretending here, maybe you killed dad, You are still here shouting, "Catch the thief." The eldest son gritted his teeth, "Zhong Haotian, get out of Seven Star Villa, and you are not allowed to step into Seven Star Villa again from now on."

"You told me to get out, I'm going to get out? Why?" Zhong Haotian took a deep breath, "This is my father's mourning hall, you are not allowed to be presumptuous." After the sound fell, he suddenly exerted force, and in an instant, the wind swept through the clouds, and it was like destroying the dead. The power is so strong that everyone is forced to retreat.

Everyone retreated a few steps in a row, and the powerful inner strength was so pressing that no one could get close.

The eldest son and the second son did not guard against Zhong Haotian's sudden force, so they were careless for a while, and they also retreated repeatedly.When the scene was horrified, he wished he could tear Zhong Haotian into pieces.

Zhong Haotian walked out of the mourning hall unhurriedly, stood with his hands behind his back, and stood in front of everyone with his head held high.That proud posture seemed to be the reincarnation of the old villa owner, and he looked down upon the others.

"Whoever dares to be presumptuous in front of my father's spirit today, don't blame me for disregarding affection and killing." Zhong Haotian was expressionless, his eyes were fierce, "If anyone doesn't believe it, just go forward. I will leave this word here, who Want to come up?"

"Zhong Haotian!" The eldest son said coldly, "How dare you!"

"Want to try?" Zhong Haotian's martial arts, they have experienced it before.In the ring competition that day, they were all defeated by Zhong Haotian.Today, the generals of the defeated army are not brave enough to speak, who dares to step forward and make a fool of themselves.

The Eldest Young Master and the Second Young Master looked at each other, seeming to be apprehensive.

"Bastard!" The owner's wife walked over quickly, "I don't even look at this place, how can you allow you to act recklessly! The owner's body is not cold, but you are killing each other here. The owner has a spirit in the sky, I am afraid that he will die in peace !"

Seeing that the owner's wife was coming, all the guards bowed their heads and retreated to the side, not daring to go forward again.

Taking a deep breath, the owner's wife said, "Before the death of the owner, he cultivated presumptuously! In front of everyone today, I might as well say a fair word. Zhong Haotian, I don't care what happened back then, and I don't care if your surname is Zhong or not." Song, all I know is that in the succession ceremony that day, you didn't get a finger pull to show your identity as the owner of the village, that is to say, although your name as the owner of the village is righteous, your words are not right."

Zhong Haotian knew that this woman was not that simple from the very beginning.Now he is here to say a lot of nonsense, just to deny his right to inherit the estate.

After all, it was only for her own son.

"Dare to ask Madam, if I don't get the finger pull, will no one recognize me as the owner of the villa?" Zhong Haotian asked.

"That's right!" the owner's wife replied.

Zhong Haotian sneered, "What if no one has pulled their fingers? Then the position of the owner will always be vacant?"

"Then you have to ask the Song family's relatives." The owner's wife smiled coldly, "In order to show justice, I will invite the Song family's relatives, those famous and promising people to come to decide on the position of the owner of the Seven Star Villa. , who should it be given to. Zhong Haotian, what do you think?"

"The owner's wife has already made a decision, why do you still ask me?" Zhong Haotian took a deep breath, "But this is also good, lest people say that my name is not right. I just dare to ask, if the Song family If you choose me, will the owner's wife leave the Seven Stars Villa with your son?"

"That's natural." In front of everyone, the owner's wife should be categorical, "I am not your biological mother, so naturally I am not qualified to stay in this Seven Stars Villa to live with you. Of course, the premise is that you have to be the daughter of this Seven Stars Villa. The owner of the villa. Zhong Haotian, what do you think?"

"Okay!" Zhong Haotian agreed, "Then I will see how fair the so-called justice really is."

"I will ask City Lord Liu to take the lead, and the heroes of the world will be the witnesses, and it will be fair and just." The wife of the owner turned and left.

Zhong Haotian squinted his eyes, looking at the people who came and left.The hustle and bustle just now is now calm.

Taking a deep breath, Zhong Haotian sat on the steps, his eyes were cold, "Hmph, father, is this your good son and your good wife? Why didn't you see clearly in the past, all these wolfish ambitions, for the sake of it." It's all about glory and wealth!"

"We should share wealth and wealth, and we should not share adversity, that's all. Look at the faces of these people, hmph, they are really ugly! Dad, you are alive in heaven, so take a closer look. Although I am not raised under my father's knees, But today I must fight for you. Since you entrusted me with this Seven Stars Villa, I will guard it carefully."

"Mother said that it is a man's ability to keep his own things. Dad—did you meet? Mother has been waiting for you, but when I was alive, I couldn't survive my own test. Now I'm gone. Below, everything can be relieved.”

Behind him, there was a cool voice, "So what if you see clearly? This world is much uglier than it, can you finish the fight? This family is just a personal matter. If it goes to the battlefield, it is the home country." The world. The little witch sees the big witch, hmph—what's there to be sentimental about?"

Zhong Haotian lowered his eyes and smiled bleakly.

Family and country?

Is there a family first and then a country?Or is there a country before a home?

With a light sigh, there was a lot of emotion in the end.

Soon, the owner's wife called the relatives of the Song family, and invited the city lord Liu Hongyi to personally preside over the decision in front of the heroes of the world.Originally, the Song family was indignant at Zhao Wuyou's coercion and temptation, and they were extremely unwilling to let Zhong Haotian be the owner of the Seven Star Villa, but at that time they were afraid of Zhao Wuyou's status and had to support Zhong Haotian as the owner.

Now it's good, everything was reversed and Zhao Wuyou was not present, so this seemingly fair and just resolution was actually held to veto Zhong Haotian's position as the suzerain.

The members of the Song family were naturally elated, without Zhao Wuyou's threat, they could expel Zhong Haotian from the Seven Star Villa at will.Do your best without any hesitation.

"Gentlemen, the old villa owner died suddenly. Now that this matter is handed over to the court, we believe that the city owner will definitely return the old villa owner justice. But there is no such thing as a day, and one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. It is really impossible for the Seven Stars Villa to have no leader." The owner's wife stood on the ring, with a deadpan expression on her face, she tried her best to be serious, "That's why today, we are here to re-select the owner of the owner."

"When the old owner left, he never handed over the finger that represented the successor owner to Zhong Haotian. That is to say, from the bottom of his heart, the old owner didn't want to pass it on to the fifth son. Now, in the hands of the fifth son , and it is true that there is no proof. Seven Star Villa belongs to the Song family, that is to say, the relatives of the Song family have to choose the right owner of the villa now."

"In front of all of you today, let's not say anything, let the Song family members vote to decide. If the fifth son can still top the list, even if the owner of the villa doesn't have a finger to prove it, we will be convinced."

The people below began to talk about it, and it was agreed earlier that the martial arts contest had suddenly changed its direction, and it had become an anthology.

The owner of the villa, which was originally set, will change his mind today, which will inevitably cause people's hearts to fluctuate.

But the owner's wife also said that this is the Seven Star Villa of the Song family, which means that this is an internal matter of the Song family, and the heroes of the world are just witnesses!
That being the case, it's not easy for outsiders to interfere with other people's housework, so just watch it slowly with the intention of watching the fun.What's more, Liu Hongyi, the city lord of Jinling City, was present, so no one dared to shout easily.

The sons of the Song family walked up to the stage slowly, and sat down in a row, each with a stool.

This voting is very simple, in fact, it is just going through the motions!The ending is clear to everyone.It is impossible for the members of the Song family to vote for Zhong Haotian.

So in the end, Zhong Haotian only got a very small number of votes.

The patriarch was still sitting there, seeing that everyone had finished voting, he still sat there without making a choice.

"Patriarch?" The owner's wife looked at him, "Who do you choose?"

The patriarch sighed softly, stood up and bowed to Liu Hongyi, then turned around and bowed to the group of heroes below, "Everyone, as the patriarch of the Song Clan, I think I should say something. Regarding Zhong Haotian, I do have something to say." Rejection. But I have to admit that he is indeed better than the sons of the Song family in martial arts."

The owner's wife frowned, even the eldest son and the second son were stunned for a while.

Patriarch What does this mean?
Zhong Haotian looked at him with a slightly ill face.

"Seven Stars Villa belongs to the Song family, but Seven Stars Villa is also the lifelong painstaking effort of the old owner Song Gu. As the patriarch of the Song family, I don't want the Song family to suffer losses or make wrong decisions because of my own selfishness. "The patriarch stood there and let out a long breath, "Whether I am the patriarch of the Song family or an ordinary person, I think I have a clear conscience for this decision."

After saying that, he walked slowly towards Zhong Haotian, handed the wooden sign in his hand to Zhong Haotian, and then smiled with relief, "I hope you can live up to everyone's expectations and can carry the mountain of Seven Stars Villa. Don't let your father down."

Let alone Zhong Haotian, no one thought that the patriarch would suddenly make such a decision.

You know, the patriarch was the one who most opposed Zhong Haotian's succession to the title of owner earlier, but now... in front of so many people, he is the first to stand up and support him.

Zhong Haotian was stunned, unable to recover at the moment.

In the end, the patriarch directly stuffed the wooden card into Zhong Haotian's hand, "Why are you still standing there, it should be yours, so you have to continue. Do you want your father to die in peace?"

Zhong Haotian reached out to take it, "Thank you."

"Don't thank me, thank you dad!" The patriarch turned around and returned to his original position.

"Patriarch, what do you mean?" The Song clan's relatives naturally didn't understand what was going on.

The patriarch sighed softly, "Song Gu has been in charge of Seven Star Villa for many years, I believe in his vision. The successor he chose by himself must have his own merits. I have also observed these days, Zhong Haotian, apart from his surname Zhong, You can’t fault the others. If that’s the case, why don’t you give young people a chance? The Seven Stars Villa also needs new blood in order to regain its glory.”

"Zhong Haotian's martial arts is extremely high, and he is convincing in martial arts competitions. He did it. And he didn't use tricks to win. Our ancestors of the Song family are officials in the capital. How can we be fooled by others and teach outsiders to laugh at us and we can't afford to lose."

What he said made the Song family blush.

I can't afford to lose, I really can't afford to lose!
The owner's wife turned cold, and walked slowly to the patriarch, "When did the patriarch make such a choice?"

"When? It was such a choice from the very beginning, but Madam has never known that's all!" The patriarch said coldly, "Madam, people are doing things and the sky is watching, and the cycle of karma will eventually be rewarded. The reputation of Seven Star Villa is originally because of Song Gu's chivalrous heart, chivalrous benevolence. Now you go back on your promises, covet the position of the owner of the villa again and again, and play tricks, which is really despised."

"I believe that Song Gu's spirit is in the sky, and I don't want to see my wife and children, for the sake of being the owner of the estate, forget about the most basic etiquette and shame."

Someone below clapped their hands and applauded. These words made the owner's wife's face turn green and pale.In front of everyone, she couldn't get angry at the patriarch, so she could only restrain herself.

I thought that the fierce opposition from the patriarch at the beginning would be able to drive Zhong Haotian out now, but I didn't expect the patriarch to turn his back in public, making their mother and son extremely embarrassed.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, she lost all face.

"The proprietor's finger has been lost, and according to the number of votes now, Zhong Haotian can't be the proprietor of the Seven Star Villa." The proprietor's wife sneered twice, "Everyone is here, so let's elect the proprietor according to the votes!"

"Madam, where did you throw the finger?" Zhong Haotian asked.

The owner's wife said, "I don't know."

"Did you really not know or did you hide it? Just to drive me out?" Zhong Haotian got up and walked towards the owner's wife step by step.

The second son got up quickly, "What do you want to do? Zhong Haotian, I warn you, you'd better not mess around."

"What can I do under the eyes of everyone?" Zhong Haotian sneered, "I just want to ask clearly, why did the owner's wife insist that this finger is lost? If the owner's wife hides and deliberately wants to drive me out of Seven Star Villa, then I am wronged Need to panic?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" The proprietor's wife gnashed her teeth, "How could I hide my fingers, Zhong Haotian, don't spout blood."

"How dare you ask Mrs. Madam, why did the things my father carried with him disappear without a trace after he died? Why did you block the news of his death? What were you doing during this period? Are you destroying evidence or searching for evidence? Pull your fingers, are you going to slander the court officials and deal with me?" Zhong Haotian was aggressive.

The owner's wife said coldly, "You bastard, can you just say this nonsense? Isn't it because of your collusion that the owner was killed? You wanted to seize the position of the owner, so—"

"I've already got the position of owner, so why bother to kill?" Zhong Haotian interrupted her, "Madam's words are wrong, so let's think about it before saying it! Don't say it in front of everyone!"

When the sound fell, the owner's wife fell silent.

"Zhong Haotian!" The second young master gritted his teeth, "How dare you talk nonsense!"

"Am I talking nonsense? Let's speak with evidence." Zhong Haotian straightened his body, "Everyone, let's make it clear in front of City Lord Liu today. My father appointed me as the successor of the village. This is beyond doubt. His ring finger was also left to me, so there is no such thing as missing the finger ring. The owner's wife and the young masters did this just to drive me out of Seven Star Villa, so that the wife's son can inherit Seven Star Villa."

"I, Zhong Haotian, have no intention of competing for the position of the owner of the villa, but I am forced to do so, and I have to fight. My wife said earlier that if I succeed the owner of the villa, you will leave with your son, and then I will help you. If you are not kind, don't Blame me for being unrighteous, right and wrong, and there will always be a decision in the end. Steward!"

With a cry from Zhong Haotian, the butler slowly came up from the stage, holding a tray in his hand. There seemed to be something on the tray, but it was covered with a red cloth, making it impossible for people to see what was going on.

The patriarch frowned, "What's going on?"

"I hope the patriarch will uphold justice!" Zhong Haotian bowed and bowed.

The steward bowed to everyone, and then said respectfully to the patriarch, "This is something that the old master left to the fifth son. Now that all the relatives are here, in front of the heroes of the world, the old servant must convey the words of the master clearly. .”

"The owner of the village was seriously ill that day, and he knew that he might not be able to participate in the succession ceremony of the new owner, so he made arrangements early and asked the old slave to put away his fingers early. The old slave did not dare to slack off when he got something, and just waited for succession On the day of the ceremony, the owner’s order can be fulfilled.”

"Unexpectedly, such a thing happened that day. The owner died, and the succession ceremony was interrupted, so the wife of the owner did not find the wrench because it was in the hands of the old slave. The owner had expected that once he had a Anyway, Madam and all the young masters will definitely attack the fifth young master."

"Now, it really did what the old owner had expected. As a last resort, the old servant could only take out his finger in front of everyone to see and hear. The fifth son, Zhong Haotian, is the successor owner chosen by the old owner himself. With finger pulling as proof, I just ask you to be a witness."

After finishing speaking, the steward knelt in front of the patriarch respectfully, "Patriarch, please!"

The patriarch was taken aback, and quickly stepped forward to lift the red cloth, and inside was a delicate brocade box.The patriarch's hand trembled a little, and the brocade box was opened in front of everyone, and the gold inlaid jade finger was completely presented in front of everyone.

The Song clan stepped forward to confirm whether it was genuine, and when they were sure that it was the owner's token, they all shut up and didn't dare to say anything more.

Therefore, a premeditated election was finally reversed by Zhong Haotian as the final step of the succession ceremony.This point was beyond everyone's expectations, even Liu Hongyi was stunned for a while.

Careful planning, but unexpectedly fell short?
No!How is this possible?
If so, then he...
