Chapter 734: Patriarch Fu Zhi 2

Head of the family?

What head of the family?

Whose family is this? !

The night was dark, with rolling dark clouds blocking the bright moonlight, but they could not block the fine white jade under the lamp.

For a jade ring of this quality, it is no exaggeration to say that it is priceless.

The people who were originally fighting in groups of three or four were distracted by the man's shouting.

With a quick glance, he immediately saw the ring that fell at Fu Zhi's feet. Without waiting for anything to say, the next moment, he saw the ring being picked up by the secret guard half-kneeling on the ground beside Ouyang Jing, and presented it with both hands and placed in front of Fu Zhi.

He shouted loudly: "The patron saint's token has appeared! The black stone token that Ouyang Yue and several elders spent a huge amount of money to make and cut into nine pieces is no longer valid!"

"The secret guards have their own rules. We should lead by example for the master of the family and protect his safety with our lives!"

"As a secret guard, it is a taboo to fight with the master! They should be killed without mercy!"

"Why don't you guys stop?!"

The secret guards who had originally helped Ouyang Jing attack Fu Zhi and his group still kept their guns raised. A huge amount of information poured into their ears, causing their pupils to tremble. They seemed unable to withstand the blow. Their bodies became weak and they staggered back several steps before finally stopping.

Every successive head of the Ouyang family would pass on a mutton-fat jade ring as a token of trust before the previous head died.

When it came to Ouyang Zhui's generation, Ouyang Zhui, who loved beauty and was not steady, was young and frivolous. As if to prove his uniqueness, he specially engraved his name on the family heirloom for future generations to admire and worship.

Later, one year before Ouyang Zhui's death, the mutton-fat jade disappeared.

When people asked him, he just said that he went to where he should go and gave it to who he should give it to.

What is the one who should give?

The Ouyang family was full of speculations and rumors, and even made up some romantic love stories for Ouyang Zhui.

After his death, the Ouyang family was in chaos. In order to properly arrange the secret guards and balance the elders, Ouyang Yue came up with a bad idea. He asked someone to use special materials to make a family head token and divide it into nine parts for the nine elders to keep together.

It is reasonable that before the white jade ring appeared, the black stone in Ouyang Jing's hand was still a token to summon the secret guards, but after the real token appeared...

What are these broken stones of yours worth?

You're using a chicken feather as a token of authority from your father!

The secret guards looked at each other for a few seconds, their expressions changed from being at a loss at first to being determined. The next moment, they raised their hands without hesitation, took off their helmets with one hand, knelt on the ground, and said humbly, "Welcome, Master!"

The secret guards who had always worked under Ouyang Feng and Ouyang Yue stopped shooting after taking a glance at the jade ring. They quickly put away their guns, knelt down straight with a strong force, and shouted, "Welcome the master back to our family!"

Suddenly——

There was a huge reversal of the situation! ! !

Except for Ouyang Liang who was unwilling to obey Ouyang Jing and did not hand over the secret guards to participate in today's rebellion, all the secret guards present knelt on one knee in the direction of Fu Zhi in a sign of submission!

Dynasties have changed, times have changed, and now in this era of hot weapons, countries ruled by law rarely have such kneeling ceremonies.

But at this moment, everyone knelt together, and the scene was grand!

Behind the shocking reversal, there are faces filled with awe and seriousness after removing the bulletproof helmets.

After Ouyang Zhui passed away, no one with outstanding talent appeared in the new generation. In recent years, the other three of the four major families have been rising steadily, but only the Ouyang family has been losing talent and suffering from constant internal strife.

Although the secret guards hoped that the Ouyang family would regain its glory, they also knew that they were just cultivated shadows, and the sharpest knife was in the hand of the head of the family.

Once upon a time, this knife lost its direction and was broken into nine pieces. It was handed into the hands of the elders and became a tool for the elders to fulfill their wishes.

Forced by their mission, they had no choice but to kill each other and point their sharpest knives at their former comrades who trained side by side with them!

But now——!

Things are no longer the same as before!

The secret guard raised the ring and said, "Master, we have offended you just now. We will apologize to you even if it means death!"

As he said this, he actually knelt on the ground and kowtowed!

Fu Zhi: “…”

Fu Zhi was startled and subconsciously said to stop him, "I don't think you really want to die, so don't use kneeling as a cover-up."

Everyone: “…”

You're so smart, you figured this out?

The secret guard was embarrassed.

I didn't expect that Fu Zhi would still bother him about this little trick.

He looked at Fu Zhi sadly.

Fu Zhi: “…”

Fu Zhi's face looked a little strange, a little cold, and a little guilty.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to confirm something, he heard a fierce roar, "Stand up! A man's knees are made of gold, all of you stand up! What family head's token? It's fake! It must be a high-quality imitation made by Ouyang Feng, a trick to deceive you!"

"The knockoffs can turn you into bootlickers, and you don't even listen to me! All the books you've read over the years have gone to waste!"

Although, but——

The secret guard kneeling in front of Fu Zhi turned around, his eyes were sharp, and he looked at Ouyang Jing coldly and said, "What we have learned in these years is the ability to kill people. How can we have time to study? There are a few subtle points on the mutton-fat white jade ring that the family master keeps as a token. No one knows better than us secret guards whether it is a high imitation or an authentic one. We are not blind and we can tell at a glance!"

The other secret guards looked at each other, walked up to the front to investigate, and after confirming that it was the real thing, they looked at Fu Zhi without thinking, "Ouyang Jing is unauthorized to raise an instructor to detain other elders in the Ouyang family, and poisoning and persecuting the younger generation is a taboo! Please ask the head of the family to give an order to punish this villain!"

"Good guy! Good guy!!!"

Shen Cizhou, who had been dumbfounded for a long time, was immediately shocked!

The previous second they were forced into a corner and trembling, and the next second they found reinforcements and were about to fight back. This group of secret guards simply joined them because they couldn't defeat them.

And there is Fu Zhi.

Shen Cizhou hesitated, "You have a token, why didn't you take it out earlier?"

“…”

Do you believe me if I tell you this isn't my token of trust?

I said I didn't know I had this thing in my pocket, do you believe me?

Shen Cizhou certainly didn't believe it. Besides, saying something like this in this situation would turn an advantageous situation into a disadvantage, wouldn't it?

Fu Zhi chose to be mute.

But now, not to mention Shen Cizhou, even Jiang Jinshu found an opportunity to pick on the faults of her daughter-in-law like a vicious mother-in-law, and said sarcastically: "It's hard for Miss Fu. She has such a deep connection with the Ouyang family, but she has been holding back and watching her brothers and sisters kill each other. If the other party hadn't hit her by mistake, Miss Fu would still be a Ninja Turtle here!"

"Jiang Jinshu!" Li Nanli glared.

Jiang Jinshu had a cold face.

As for Fu Zhi: "..."

Fu Zhi really wanted to refute.

But Fu Zhi is hard to describe in words.

Fu Zhi has a lot of grievances that he cannot express.

Fu Zhi is in even greater trouble.

She couldn't help but feel a little flustered. There was an extra jade ring belonging to the head of the family in her underwear, but she didn't even notice it!

Who is it?

Who wants to help her, or is it someone who wants to bring about the current situation?

What good will this do for that person?

Thoughts were surging in his mind, and he felt annoyed in his heart. But before he could open his mouth to speak, Ouyang Feng lectured him, "Oh my goodness! Look at what earth-shattering vest my disciple has hidden behind my back!"

"I treat you as my apprentice, but you want to be the head of my family?"

Ouyang Feng and Ouyang Yue had previously suspected whether Fu Zhi was a child of the Ouyang family, but their doubts were dispelled when they saw that her biological parents had both passed away and she was adopted by foster parents.

I didn’t expect that!

There is even a white jade ring, she must be Ouyang Zhui's daughter!

"Such a big deal! You never told me about it! How badly have we been beaten? You are usually smart, but you fail at the critical moment! You even put the ring in your pocket and didn't even show it to me!"

"If you just take a look, it would save you a lot of trouble!"

Fu Zhi: “…”

To be honest, if I had known I had this ring earlier, I would have pulled your hand and told you that I could solve the problem in front of me in just a few minutes.

But without waiting for Fu Zhi's reply, Ouyang Yue's eyes were excited, and he pushed Ouyang Feng away and said, "Sister Zhizhi is a girl. She is afraid of such a scene of fighting and killing. It is normal that she can't remember the token for a while! If there is any fault, it is that I didn't keep the position of the head of the family for you! Listen to me, you are right and I am wrong. It has nothing to do with you!"

Listen to what this guy says!

Ouyang Yue scratched his head. "I have only met Sister Zhizhi twice, both times under unpleasant circumstances. But Sister Zhizhi, don't worry. Once I understand what happened today, I will definitely clean up the Ouyang family for you, so that you can be the head of the family without any worries! No one dares to hurt you!"

Look at this attitude!

"Shame on you! Do you still have any shame? You are talking about love affairs while fighting!" Ouyang Jing was furious, pointing at Fu Zhi and his group, "Do you think I, the villain, don't exist? Can you show me some respect? Who are you looking down on? I can't threaten you anymore, right? Then I'm leaving?"

Everyone: “…”

Seriously speaking, without the secret guards, with only those instructors around you and an unconscious Ouyang Ya, what can you achieve?

Ouyang Jing, who thought he could become something big, was so angry that he could stir up a gust of wind with just a butterfly's wings. He ordered the instructors around him, "Today, either they die or we die! I will kill anyone who stands in my way. Go!"

Instructors: “…”

That being said, if they surrendered, perhaps they would be treated well as prisoners and not have to die?

The instructors' hesitation made Ouyang Yue sneer and make a prompt decision: "Ouyang Jing killed people and drugged them, and committed treason. All of these were personal mistakes made out of selfishness. They have nothing to do with you! You are all members of my Ouyang family and should be protected by our Ouyang family! Now that the head of the family has returned, it is a good thing. You should lay down your weapons and surrender now. We will forgive the past! Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"You're talking nonsense!" Ouyang Jing cursed, spit flying everywhere, "Fu Zhi's surname is Fu, he is not from my Ouyang family at all! I don't know where he stole the ring and wanted to take advantage of it to become the head of the family. Our Ouyang family's century-old family business must not be passed on to an outsider!"

"Who said she's not a child of the Ouyang family?"
