Chapter 586 Discussion
"Seventh Brother, I think before you go talk to the Xu family's sister-in-law about this matter, you can gather everyone in your clan and discuss it together."
"Otherwise, if anything goes wrong in the future, you will be the only one to take the blame."
Grandpa Yue was not surprised by Guan Laoqi's decision. Originally, Grandpa Yue was not going to say anything, but when he really saw Guan Laoqi make this decision, he couldn't help but give some advice.
"Brother Yue, I understand!"
After hearing what Grandpa Yue said, Guan Laoqi only thought about it for a moment and understood what Grandpa Yue meant.
After understanding Old Man Yue's intentions, Guan Laoqi realized that he had indeed been a bit hasty. As the clan leader, he could certainly make the decision alone. However, if he wanted to avoid future disputes, the best solution was to gather all the clan members together and discuss the decision, as Old Man Yue had suggested.
In this way, no matter what happens in the end, no one in the clan can put all the blame on him.
Guan Laoqi immediately gathered all the members of the Guan family in the camp and asked everyone for their opinions.
How to deal with Guan Laosan and others?
When Guan Laoqi put this issue in front of everyone, someone immediately shouted that it should be handled according to the clan rules.
"Uncle Jiu, then tell me, according to the clan rules, how should we deal with the third brother and the others?"
Guan Laoqi looked up at Uncle Jiu, who was calling the loudest in the crowd.
Uncle Jiu is Guan Laoqi's cousin, but he is not much older than Guan Laosan.
There is a difference in generation, but no difference in age.
If we ignore seniority and go by age, Uncle Jiu, Guan San and Guan Qi are actually of the same generation.
People of the same generation playing together as children are bound to have all kinds of friction.
Normally, these childhood frictions would gradually fade as they grew older. However, the grudge between Guan Lao San and Old Uncle Jiu was a bit far-reaching.
As the saying goes, if one family has a daughter, hundreds of families will seek her out.
At the beginning, Guan Lao San and Lao Jiu Shu both fell in love with the same girl and asked their families to come to their homes to propose marriage. Then, Guan Lao San won and married his current wife.
Uncle Jiu failed to marry the girl he liked, so he had to marry someone else.
But the two of them did not get along because of this.
Even though they are both old and have grandchildren, they still dislike each other.
Now that Guan Lao San has done such a thing, how could Uncle Jiu not kick him when he’s down?
"Of course it's to exterminate the clan!"
"Those who are disloyal and unrighteous are not worthy of being descendants of the Guan family!"
Uncle Jiu said this with righteous indignation.
His words were recognized by many people.
After all, by doing this, Guan Lao San had completely offended the Xu family. If Guan Lao San succeeded, or even became very successful, then these people would definitely have a different attitude.
Unfortunately, Guan Lao San failed.
Now it is the Xu family that holds the initiative.
The Xu family is very powerful now. Smart people will definitely not and dare not stand against the Xu family.
If he protected Guan Lao San and his gang, it would definitely make the Xu family unhappy.
At this time, smart people will not do stupid things.
"Uncle Jiu, do you think we should expel only the third brother and his family, or all of their families?"
Guan Laoqi looked at Uncle Jiu, and at the same time his eyes swept over the several people who stood on the same side with Uncle Jiu.
Eliminating a clan is no small matter!
Moreover, there is more than one person who wants to be exterminated this time.
"Of course the whole family will be expelled!"
Uncle Jiu gave the answer directly without any hesitation.
From the moment the outcome of this matter was decided, he had been thinking about how to deal with this matter. He had been entangled in the feud with Guan Lao San for so many years, and he had long wanted to kill Guan Lao San's family.
As for the girl he once had in mind, he also hated her after she married Guan Lao San.
"Uncle Jiu, this is a bit too much!"
After Uncle Jiu clearly expressed his desire to expel Guan Lao San and others from the Guan family, someone else spoke up.
"The imperial court doesn't practice collective punishment, so why should we practice collective punishment in our clan?"
"Uncle Jiu, how many years have passed since you and the Third Brother had that little grudge? Are you still so stubborn?"
"As an elder, how can you act like one?"
The person who was speaking was Guan Laoliu, who had an average relationship with Guan Laosan.
But at this time, Guan Laoliu felt that what he said was fair.
Guan Lao San is a bastard, there is no reason to involve his family.
"You fart!"
Uncle Jiu immediately exploded, "Are you saying that I'm taking revenge on someone I don't know?"
"I'm doing this for our entire Guan family!"
"Let's be frank. If Marquis Wucheng and Earl Yongwu knew what Guan Lao San did, what would they think of our clan?"
"All the friendship we've built over the years has been ruined by them in just one move!"
"I said that expelling them from the tribe is already a lenient punishment!"
"Disloyal and unrighteous people like them should be cut into pieces!"
Uncle Jiu spoke slowly but forcefully.
After hearing what Uncle Jiu said, the members of the Guan family in the surrounding Lingshui Village fell silent.
Although they initially thought Guan Lao San and the others were worthless, the incident didn't affect them. Furthermore, some felt that the Xu family hadn't suffered any substantial harm. Furthermore, Guan Lao San and the others had finally come to their senses and should be treated leniently.
However, after listening to Uncle Jiu's analysis, most people changed their minds.
Of course, it wasn't because they remembered what Old Master Xu had done for Lingshui Village. They were thinking about how the Xu family's current status was different from before. With the help of the Xu family, their lives would definitely get better and better.
But now, because of what Guan Laosan and his gang did, they may no longer be able to benefit from the Xu family.
So, resentment arises!
"Eliminate the clan!"
"Eliminate the clan!"
Even the women who had previously wanted to attack the old turtle and the giant clam started shouting, determined to expel Guan Lao San and his entire family from the Guan family.
"Seventh Brother, you see, this is what the people want!"
"I suggest that we expel these families from the camp from now on."
When Uncle Jiu saw that his proposal was supported by the tribesmen, he immediately went a step further and wished he could immediately expel Guan Lao San, Guan Lao Wu and other families from the camp.
They are now in the mountains, and there are wolves hiding outside.
Without the protection of the camp, when the wolves appear at night, Guan Laosan and his family are destined to become food for them.
"Seventh Brother, what are you still hesitating about?"
"Don't forget, they tied up your entire family just now."
"If Guan Lao San had won just now, do you think your family would still have a chance to survive?"
