Chapter 1118 The Elders Are Rebelling

Public opinion is supreme and cannot be violated.

The family faction can crush the Qimen faction, but it cannot suppress the small families below, otherwise it will undermine its own cause. Especially under the conspiracy of the Enfeoffment Order, they dare not act rashly.

"Murderer! I want to accuse Lei Zhen and ask all the clan leaders to help us in Guojia Village!"

"Thousands of lives were slaughtered by this so-called gentleman on the stage... Director Jiang, Director Jin, Clan Leader Lu, all the clan leaders, please give us justice! Wuwu..."

Suddenly, dozens of people rushed in, dressed in mourning, knelt down facing the crowd, crying and accusing Lei Zhen.

It is unprecedented for someone to accuse the gentleman in front of so many clan leaders.

Everyone should have been shocked, and then the five major families should have comforted him, let him speak slowly, and finally dragged Lei Zhen into the pit little by little.

But now everyone seems to have no reaction. Not only the small families have no reaction, but the five major families also have not reacted much.

Except for Old Man Jiang who closed his eyes, everyone else just took a look and then looked away.

"I killed him, that's right." Lei Zhen said affirmatively.

The sound echoed in the memorial venue and reached everyone's ears clearly.

"Murderer! You don't deserve to be a gentleman!"

"All clan leaders have heard this. Lei Zhen is killing innocent people without any discrimination. If he can kill our Guo family today, it will be your turn tomorrow!"

"Please ask the various clan leaders to make the decision for us. Thousands of lives are at stake..."

A scene that surprised these people appeared. The scene that everyone pointed out did not appear. Instead, everyone remained silent.

Isn't this right?

According to the script, as soon as this side starts crying, all the clan leaders over there will launch a group attack on Lei Zhen, forcing him to be left with claws all over the ground, and he will not be able to explain himself even if he has a mouth full of mouths.

But now no one spoke, and the five major families didn't even look at them.

"Shut up!" The eldest lady stood up and said, "I asked you to quell the rebellion for our family."

She walked over slowly and stood in front of the people from Guojia Village, showing a look of grief and anger.

"The elders, led by Guo Yunlong, are dissatisfied with my husband's new policies and have attempted to assassinate him. They have also gathered a group to start a new organization. This act of rebellion concerns the lives and property of every member of our Guo family."

"Unfortunately, I am a woman, and my husband was brutally murdered. I had no choice but to find Mr. Lei and beg him to quell the rebellion for my Guo family."

"I spared your lives because you didn't participate in the rebellion, but now you come to slander me and smear me. You deserve to be killed!"

It was a rebellion, not a massacre.

No one would believe this if others said it, but when the eldest lady said it, it carried weight.

Guo Tianlin was killed by the elders because they were planning to rebel... What a ridiculous reason, the elders were planning to rebel?

But it doesn’t matter. At this time, all the lady needs to do is to come forward and give a reason. Whether everyone believes it or not is secondary.

"I'll testify for my sister-in-law." Guo Tianyang stood up and said, "My eldest brother was assassinated. I've been hunting down the murderer these days, and finally determined that it was Elder Guo Yunlong who did it."

The transitional clan leader also spoke out in support, proving what the eldest lady said.

"I can also prove that someone tampered with the family's property. After investigation, it was confirmed that it was done by Elder Guo Yunlong's men."

"I testify that everything the eldest lady said is true. Elder Guo Yunlong has used various methods to block the Guo family's business activities and secretly allied with their opponents..."

More than a dozen members of the Guo family stood up and confirmed the rebellion of Guo Yunlong and several elders.

The people are dead, there is no possibility of rebuttal, they can say whatever they want.

He used to be afraid of Guojia Village, but now he is fearless at all, and he has completely broken free from Guojia Village's control over the Guo Mansion. Of course, he has to insist on his decision.

"You, you are in collusion! When has the elder ever plotted rebellion? Who would believe such words? Guojia Village is the foundation of the Guo family, how could they possibly plot rebellion!"

"What benefit did Lei Zhen give you that you can actually confuse right and wrong like this! Fellow clan leaders, do you believe this? Would your elders rebel? This is simply a huge joke!"

“…”

You can say whatever you want, and people can believe it or not.

The eldest lady said that Guo Yunlong and other elders were plotting a rebellion, so that was a rebellion.

The matter has already been determined, so no matter how dissatisfied these villagers are, they cannot turn black into white.

As for the clan leader present, he would not bother with other people's family affairs.

This situation has occurred in every family. If someone wants to rebel, they must be killed. If they win, they will control the family, and if they lose, they will bear the infamy. This is how everyone has experienced it.

When it comes to family businesses, there is no place like home.

"Lei Zhen, you're not worthy of sitting in the master's seat—" Several more people rushed in from outside, pointing at Lei Zhen and shouting, "Patriarch Guo has just passed away, his body is still warm, and you've already claimed these two ladies as your own. You're worse than an animal."

The moral attack came, but it was too late.

This is why Lei Zhen is the host. He wants to hold the microphone and have the right to speak, first issue the Enfeoffment Order, and then quietly watch the game set up for him by Old Man Jiang.

So he looked down at the other person and found that his future father-in-law had his eyes closed and a helpless look on his face.

Obviously, everything was planned, with performances taking turns and even the timing being carefully controlled. Unfortunately, it was all ruined by an order to extend the favor.

Not to mention that the small families were unwilling to let Lei Zhen step down, even the several large families around him were unwilling to let Lei Zhen step down, because the attraction of the vassal king was too great.

Which family doesn’t care about interests?

What Lei Zhen is taking out now is the gold all over the overseas, which is not something his Jiang family can take out. Even if he spends all his family wealth, it will not be enough to satisfy so many families.

"Please prove how I monopolize these two ladies." Lei Zhen said calmly, "Please tell me, do I need to monopolize women when I play with them? Do you want me to demonstrate how I can just snap my fingers and women will throw themselves at me? And I can even give everyone a live performance?"

When these words were spoken, the whole audience was shocked.

Damn, moral kidnapping?

Our new emperor seems to have no morals. He can even say such outrageous words. He is simply invincible.

But the truth is there, there is no need to occupy the gentleman's seat, okay?

Even if he slept with Mrs. Guo, it must have been someone who seduced him. I guess since it involves the issue of heirs, there is no need for him to use force at all.

"You bastards!" the eldest lady cried angrily. "This is my husband's memorial service. How can you be so full of nonsense? Come on, take these people out and wait for your punishment."

The Guo family's guards rushed in and forcibly took dozens of people out.

The memorial service was quiet.

"Everyone, I'm very sorry," Lei Zhen said, holding the microphone. "I may be a gentleman, but I'm not perfect. Being deliberately slandered today only proves one thing: I haven't done enough!"

"Sir, you've done well enough."

"Personally coming forward to eliminate the rebels for the Guo family would naturally lead to being bitten by dogs, because this is not what you should do. However, for the stability of the family below, you risked your life with your powerful body. You are truly wise and brave!"

“…”

Hidden within the flattery was a hidden voice: Whoever dares to take Mr. Lei down will kill us! Your big family asked us to kneel down, but Mr. Lei asked us to stand up——
