The five elders looked at each other and felt that they had been very unlucky recently. Did someone mess with their luck?
The elder held his waist and said, "So that's how it is. No wonder my waist has been hurting more and more lately."
The third elder said: "Yes! My legs hurt a lot too. I couldn't sleep well for several nights."
The fourth elder said: "I went out a few days ago and accidentally stepped on dog poop. My new shoes got stained."
Patriarch: “…”
That's because you were walking without looking at the road and you were blind. It has nothing to do with me.
The fifth and second clan elders did not say anything, but their eyes were fixed on the clan leader and Du Zhendong. They were so anxious that even more bad luck happened to them, and they blamed all of it on the father and son.
The head elder of the clan has already sent people to call all the men in the village to open the ancestral hall. Du Fuchun's matter is too big to be decided by the five of them.
All the men in Dujia Village rushed to the ancestral hall, there were several hundred people in total, young and old.
Seeing Du Fuchun tied up to the pillar at the entrance of the ancestral hall, everyone was confused and couldn't understand what he had done wrong.
Then, when Qiu was beaten black and blue, neither her husband nor her son came to greet her. They all knew what happened between Qiu and the clan leader, but it was a family scandal that should not be made public, and since Du Fuchun was the clan leader, they were afraid that no one would believe it.
Everyone turned a blind eye and ignored these trivial matters. My family was poor and we couldn't even get enough food to eat, so what was the point in pursuing these matters?
Looking at the descendants of the Du family below, the five elders felt guilty. Under their noses, Du Fuchun actually did so many things worse than pigs and dogs.
"Everyone! I asked you all to come here today because I have something to tell you. Du Fuchun has built a harem for himself in our village. He used the Qiu family to force eleven women in the village to submit to him. These eleven women are them."
Eleven fat women stood together, all with their heads down, not daring to look at the men and children in their families.
They were indeed forced, but it is not known whether men will believe it.
Many of the fat woman's husbands were so shocked by the news that their faces turned green. They didn't know that the women in their family were having an affair with the clan leader.
"They are all innocent. The culprits are Qiu and the clan leader Du Fuchun. They both gave birth to Du Zhendong."
The clan elder's words instantly made the people below explode.
"What? This is too shameless? They had an affair and gave birth to a bastard?"
"When did such a disgusting thing happen in our Dujia Village? Will you still be able to face people when you go out in the future?"
"People like this must be dealt with. They can't be kept around any longer, otherwise it will only cause trouble for everyone."
"Yes, neither the clan leader nor the Qiu family can stay."
The five elders looked at each other, discussed for a few sentences, and sentenced the clan leader and Qiu to death.
"Anyone who has a grudge against these two can come up and beat them until they are killed."
As soon as the clan elder's words came out, the eleven fat women and their men and children all stared at the clan leader and Qiu with eager eyes.
The clan leader was so scared that his face turned blue. He wanted to shout, but unfortunately his mouth was blocked and he couldn't shout at all. The same thing happened to Qiu. Her hands and feet were tied and a piece of rag was stuffed in her mouth. She cried and crawled to the side.
The angry fat women would not allow them to escape and would beat them up if they were caught.
Prime Minister Du and Madam Du, the dark-haired man, the dark and thin old man, Chu Xiaoxiao, and Li Sizu were all watching from the side.
Li Sizu was afraid that she would have nightmares at night after watching it, so he covered her eyes with his hands. Naituanzi was unhappy and pulled his hands away, watching with great interest.
【Ahaha! The bad guy was beaten to death. He got his comeuppance.】
Li Sizu: “…”
It seems that I was overthinking it. Sister Xiaoxiao is not afraid at all.
Black charcoal head: "......"
Of course, she doesn't even look at who my master is. How could such a small thing scare her?
Seeing that the clan leader and Qiu had been beaten to silence, the clan elders ordered them to stop and let their families take them back for burial.
Many of the clan leader's properties were obtained from Prime Minister Du's family. The clan elders decided to return all of them to Prime Minister Du.
Du Zhendong didn't dare to say anything more. His father was dead and his mother had never liked him. He was afraid that he could no longer stay in Dujia Village.
The elders of the clan changed the main and side branches in the family tree and let the elders choose the new clan leader, but he would not choose any of them.
Prime Minister Du's original words were: "It is such a large branch that needs a clan leader. We don't have anyone to be a clan leader in our main branch, and we don't need one. If the clan elders are willing, they can choose one. If they are not willing, then don't choose. You can handle the affairs of the branch as you wish."
The elders of the clan didn't dare to speak. The clan leader harmed Prime Minister Du, and the side branch harmed the main branch. How could they have the face to let people elect a clan leader?
What Prime Minister Du said was true. The people from the main branch no longer lived in Dujia Village. No one needed a clan leader. The people who needed a clan leader were the incompetent side branches like them.
If they had not begged desperately, Prime Minister Du might have asked to be expelled from the clan. Who would care whether they chose a clan leader or not?
Fortunately, Prime Minister Du was quite kind to his clan members, and this time he successfully got back his land and farm, and found the funds to repair the ancestral hall.
This is already very good. If he doesn't pay the money, no one can do anything to him. Who is it that their side branches have disappointed him?
When they left Dujia Village, the thin and dark old man followed them.
Prime Minister Du felt strange, but did not say much. It was the Imperial Master who asked the old man to come with him. He also listened and it seemed that everything in the house suddenly disappeared. It was the old man who did it.
It is said that a gentleman should not talk about strange and supernatural things, but when faced with real things, that saying seems pale and useless.
It's not that I'm speechless, it's that I can't speak.
Just like his family affairs, basically no one outside knew about it. They didn’t know how to tell others, and they didn’t know whether others would believe it after they told them.
All the things in the warehouse disappeared overnight. Is it possible for a human to do such a thing?
That’s definitely not the case. Only gods and monsters can do that.
He is the prime minister, how can he talk about such things in public? What if it causes bad rumors and makes the people panic?
He had never mentioned the family affairs to anyone else, not even to the Queen, and had always kept it secret. If the Crown Prince hadn't brought the Imperial Master with him, he would not have said it.
Although the Imperial Master was young, she was very capable and could see the essence of things at a glance. Even though she hadn't said a few words from beginning to end, every time the prince whispered in his wife's ear, he guessed that the Imperial Master must have given his grandson some hints.
I don’t know if this old man came back to return all the things in the warehouse to them. I think that’s the case.
But he didn't say anything, he just watched silently from the side.
It has to be said that Prime Minister Du is the Prime Minister after all, and he looks at things from a different perspective. When the thin and dark old man got out of the car and walked straight to the backyard, he knew that he guessed right.
