Although Uncle Mu was seriously injured, he was still shouting, "I am the patriarch of the Mu family, you can't do anything to me..."
Mu Wanqing sneered, "Patriarch? Mu Zhongde is a minister, but he doesn't want to be loyal to the king, can't protect the people, is corrupt and perverts the law. The law is above all else. Our entire clan has been implicated by you and has become a criminal. As long as you are the patriarch, our Mu clan will never be able to make a comeback. Let me ask you one question, do you want your descendants to become criminals and every good citizen to be trampled on and tortured?"
The faces of the Mu family members all changed. No, no one was willing.
Yes, Mu Zhongde has bad conduct and is not worthy of being a patriarch.
Mu Wanqing has never been an enthusiastic or nosy person. She only cares about the people around her, but this time her bottom line was touched.
"As the head of a clan, you should take care of your clan members and lead the clan to prosperity, so that everyone can live and work in peace and contentment. And you, for your own selfish reasons, want to execute your own nephew. You have no mercy or compassion at all. You are so cruel to your own nephew, let alone to your clan members?"
After these words were spoken, everyone's faces became even uglier.
What's the point of having a heartless and ungrateful clan leader who will only sacrifice the lives of his clan members?
The head of the Fang family saw this and sighed silently. Mu Zhongde was finished.
The third young lady of the Mu family was no ordinary person, and she nailed Mu Zhongde to the ground with just two or three sentences.
"You're talking nonsense, I'm thinking about the overall situation..." Mu Zhongde still wanted to struggle.
Mu Wanqing didn't even give him a chance and said loudly, "I suggest that Mu Zhongde be stripped of his position as clan leader. Those who disagree should stand to the left, and those who agree should stand still."
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd became agitated.
Almost everyone stood still, only about twenty people hesitated and struggled for a while, then stood silently to the left.
These are Mu Zhongde's die-hard fans, and they have gained a lot of benefits from Mu Zhongde.
Mu Zhongde shouted angrily, "You are not qualified..."
A hint of sarcasm flashed in Mu Wanqing's eyes. She wanted the position of clan leader that he cared about the most.
"I hereby declare that, with the decision of the majority of the Mu clan, Mu Zhongde will be stripped of his position as clan leader. Mu Zhongde, you will never harm anyone again. I think the king far away in the capital will also be happy to see this."
Mu Zhongde was so angry that he was shaking all over. How dare she do this to him? How dare she?
If the king is brought out, who dares to oppose him? Who dares to go against him?
The Mu family members were silent, and a young man spoke weakly, "Then, who will be the new clan leader?"
An old man who had just stood on the left and disagreed spoke first, "I nominate Mu Zifeng as the clan leader. He is the eldest son of the Mu family, and it is only natural for him to succeed the clan leader."
Mu Zifeng's eyes sparkled. This is possible.
When he becomes the patriarch, he will kill all those who once opposed his father.
Especially Mu Wanqing, he would never let her go. No matter how powerful she was, how could she defeat the entire family.
Another old man agreed, "That's a good idea, I agree."
Many people were hesitant, but a few die-hard fans lobbied desperately.
Mu Wanqing's cold voice sounded, "I disagree. The son of a sinner should be punished together. Aren't you afraid that Mu Zifeng will take revenge after he takes the throne? Do you agree to deprive Mu Zhongde of his position as patriarch, or do you think he is a broad-minded person?"
Everyone frowned at the same time. As the eldest grandson of the Mu family, Mu Zifeng was born noble and arrogant. He usually didn't even look at his family members.
How can he lead the entire clan when he has neither prestige nor talent?
This won’t work, that won’t work, but we can’t be without a patriarch.
"Then who should we nominate? There is no suitable candidate."
Logically speaking, if the eldest branch of the main branch is not suitable, then the second branch should be given the chance. However, the second branch is born out of wedlock and is naturally inferior to the legitimate branch.
The third wife is the legitimate son, but the third master is a brainless fool.
As for several side branches, some of them were ready to make a move and stood up one after another to nominate people from their own branch.
The problem is that there are no particularly capable people who can convince the public.
For a while, there was constant quarreling.
A voice suddenly sounded, "I nominate Miss Mu San to be the clan leader."
It is my sixth uncle Mu Zhongrui from the side branch. He has a high reputation and many people support him.
But, he actually stood up and recommended Mu Wanqing!
The old-timers were furious. "Don't be ridiculous. How can a woman be the head of a clan?"
"That's right. If you tell anyone, they'll make you laugh to death. Is there no man left in the Mu family?"
Mu Wanqing folded her arms across her chest, her expression calm and indescribably composed.
An old man shouted aggressively, "Miss Mu San, why don't you stand up and refuse?"
Mu Wanqing raised her eyebrows. "I hate trouble, and I don't like others to order me around. Since everyone is so opposed to this, then I will... stand up and take the responsibility. I will definitely be the clan leader."
There was an uproar at the scene. She was so bold! The first female matriarch?
The old man was furious and asked loudly, "Do you think you are suitable? You are a girl and you are only thirteen years old."
"It's suitable, very suitable. I am young but capable, better than all of you. You still have to rely on me for food." Mu Wanqing had not been interested in the position of clan leader before, but after this incident, she suddenly realized that the position of clan leader was quite important.
At the very least, there is a legitimate reason for doing anything.
The old man's face turned red with anger. "Mu Zhongping, please try to persuade your daughter. What nonsense did she say? How did you teach her?"
Mr. Mu was also surprised because he had never heard his daughter mention it before.
"I respect Qing'er's decision and believe she has the ability to do it."
Several old men were furious. "Are you crazy? I absolutely disagree. I will never agree to it even if you kill me."
"Unless I die, you can't do that."
Mu Wanqing picked up the gong and struck it, and the scene suddenly became quiet.
She pointed her slender finger to one side, "Those who agree, stand over here. Each of you will be given a bowl of braised pork tonight. That's one bowl."
"Second, give each person one foot of cloth."
One foot of cloth can make two pieces of clothing.
"Third, a group of five people will be given the right to purchase a carriage, and they can buy it at any time."
As soon as she stated the three conditions, everyone became excited and ran towards the location she designated.
It doesn’t matter how young they are or whether they are girls, as long as we give them meat and cloth!
And let them buy a carriage.
Ahhh, we must follow Miss Mu San.
Look at the officials, aren’t they bowing to Miss Mu San?
They, the officials, don't feel ashamed, so why should they be ashamed in exiling criminals?
Soon, more than a hundred people were divided into two camps. The descendants of the first and third branches of the Mu family did not move, a few old antiques did not move, a few diehards did not move, and the others all ran over.
Mu Wanqing counted the number, one hundred and three people on one side and forty-five people on the other side.
"Have you all chosen? The minority obeys the majority. I declare that I, Mu Wanqing, have been successfully elected as the 35th patriarch of the Mu family."
Everyone looked at each other, how could this be possible?
"Okay, I'll start registering the number of people and distribute the meat to everyone. As for the carriages, they are grouped into five people. You guys form your own teams and sign up. Big brother, come and help."
"Wait a moment." Mu Rongxue held her sister in one hand and her mother in the other and squeezed out of the crowd with difficulty. "The three of us, mother and daughter, will also go over."
"Mu Rongxue, you traitor." Old Mrs. Mu was shaking with anger. She was very kind to her granddaughter.
Mu Rongxue ignored her and did not inform her when the trouble happened. Naturally, she would not sink with these people.
Why?
"Dad, don't blame me. My third sister gave me too much, and I couldn't refuse. You also know that my mother is weak and my sister has a poor constitution. She can't stand it."
Everyone knows that once Mu Wanqing takes office, the first thing she will do is purge.
Anyone who disobeys her will naturally be dealt with.
Master Mu was filled with mixed feelings. He opened his mouth and said, "You...you take Aunt Hong and your brother over there."
What could he do? The situation was stronger than the people, they had lost, and they could only consider the way out.
I thought the second house would be vulnerable without Mu Wanqing, who could have expected her to suddenly appear.
Uncle Mu roared angrily, "Old Three."
Mu Rongxue couldn't tell what she felt in her heart, "I only take care of my brother, and my aunt has to stay and serve you. How can she run away when you are so injured?"
Aunt Hong pleaded with tears in her eyes, "Miss, let me go over and take care of the child."
"No." Mu Rongxue hated these concubines the most. They were always annoying her. She had suffered a lot at their hands. "When you encounter trouble, you want to escape. Is this what you call deep love? The concubine's responsibility is to serve the man, and the child is taken care of by the mistress, so you don't have to worry about it."
Aunt Hong pitifully asked for help from Master Mu Sanye. She was the concubine of the third room, and she could not run away without Master Mu Sanye's permission.
Master Mu San took a look at his pitiful concubine, then looked at his daughter with a cold expression, and simply closed his eyes, not caring about anything.
Mu Wanqing picked up a stick from the ground and dragged it to Uncle Mu.
"Mu Zhongde, what did you do to my second brother just now? Beat him to death with sticks, right?"
Mu Zhongde looked at the stick in her hand and couldn't help but shrink back, "I... just wanted to scare you, I didn't mean anything else."
No one believed this, not even Mu Wanqing.
"I am a kind and generous person, I won't stain my hands with blood. Let's put it this way, Mu Zhongde, Mu Zhongwen, you are the masterminds, just cut off the tendons of your hands and feet and become useless. I promise I won't starve you to death."
I can't even stand steadily and need someone to serve me when I eat and drink. How can I have the energy to do anything?
When Mu Zhongde thought of the stinking and immobile Guard Jiang, his face turned pale with fear, "You can't do this to me. I'm your uncle."
A hint of sarcasm flashed in Mu Wanqing's eyes. Wasn't he very impressive just now? "My second brother is still your nephew. It is my greatest kindness to let you live."
But they will soon understand what it means to be worse off than dead, and that dying is actually a good thing.
Mr. Zeng came over and volunteered, "Miss, I'll do it."
"Thank you for your help." Mu Wanqing would not leave any room for criticism.
The dagger in Lord Zeng's hand flew, blood splattered, and Lord Mu and Lord Mu III let out heart-wrenching screams.
Uncle Mu's eyes were red, and he was as angry as a ghost. "Mu Wanqing, you bitch, I won't let you go even if I become a ghost."
It was over. He became a useless person. He couldn't hold a pen or walk in this life. The rest of his life was ruined.
Even if there were an amnesty from the imperial court someday, he would never be able to turn things around.
"You want to die so badly?" Mu Wanqing was not afraid at all. She stared at him with a smile, "I can help you. You can't beat me when you're alive, let alone when you're dead."
Although she was smiling, her fearless arrogance and murderous intent made Uncle Mu shiver and swallow the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
As for Mr. Mu Sanye, he has already fainted. He is a weakling and cannot do anything.
Mu Wanqing dragged her stick to Old Madam Mu. This old woman was really mischievous.
Old Mrs. Mu stepped back in fear. Was her tendons in her hands and feet going to be crippled as well?
"Mrs. Mu is old. If her tendons are removed, she won't live long. I am a filial granddaughter. From now on, I will let the frail old Mrs. Mu lie on the top of the carriage and eat once a day, so that she doesn't have to worry about eating, drinking, defecating or urinating."
Mrs. Mu: ...
"Mu Wanqing, you are trying to kill me."
Mu Wanqing said seriously, "How could that be? I'll provide you with food and a bed, and all the expenses will be on me. It's my way of showing my filial piety."
Lord Zeng couldn't help but laugh, "Young lady is unparalleled in kindness and righteousness."
Fuck! I want to curse.
Mu Wanqing dealt with several main culprits, and the bloody means she used completely shocked the Mu family.
They clearly realized that Mu Wanqing was different from others.
Don't underestimate her because she is young and a delicate girl. She is very cruel and hard-hearted. She dares to deal with her uncles and aunts without mercy.
He is as decisive as any other man in killing.
Anyone who treats her as an ignorant little girl is seeking death.
Mu Zifeng and his brothers were so scared that they peed their pants. How would Mu Wanqing deal with them?
Mu Wanqing was not in a hurry at all. She looked at the little ones and said, "The crime is not committed by the young children. These children will be taken care of by Mu Jinyao and Mu Nannan from the big room. The others can crawl."
The child is innocent. Although she doesn't like Mu Jinyao pleading for her family, if she puts herself in their shoes, she will know that Mu Jinyao's family treats her very well. If she doesn't speak up, she would be truly cold-hearted.
Mu Nannan is the illegitimate daughter of the eldest son of the family. She usually has no sense of existence. At this moment, she looked at Mu Wanqing in surprise.
This is...letting them go? That's great, I feel lucky to have survived a disaster.
Let her crawl? What does that mean? Many people didn't understand.
Mu Wanqing's eyes flickered. "We need to hurry on our way, so those who don't have a carriage should... tie a rope to the back of the carriage and drag it along."
Those who support her have a carriage, which means that those who don't support her can just wait to be dragged to death by the horse.
It's said to be walking, but once the horse starts running, it's all over.
These frail young men will definitely not be able to withstand this wave of punishment.
Mu Zifeng was horrified and couldn't bear the thought of it, "Mu Wanqing, you are going to force us to death!"
Mu Wanqing looked puzzled. "Why do you say that? I mean well and am here to help you catch up with the main force. Otherwise, you will be treated as a fugitive."
She raised her eyebrows, a mocking arc appeared on the corner of her mouth, "Well, you want to be fugitives?"
Lord Zeng and his entourage quickly drew their swords and pointed them at them.
