Chapter 457: Zhao Anping was almost pissed off to death by these idiots in the clan
Zhao Zhimo and Zhao Zhifu were originally preparing to go down, but seeing that this gossip was so exciting, they sat firmly on their chairs and did not even mention leaving.
Zhao Anping held back for a moment, but decided to give this man another chance. "Tell me! What's the charge?"
Zhao Changcai hadn't expected that this brat, Zhao Anping, would still ask for charges, so he could only perfunctorily reply, "Ah? What charges?"
"If you don't tell me the charges, I will never go to rescue you. Uncle Zhao, please go back!" Zhao Anping served tea and sent the guest away.
But if Zhao Changcai could understand such subtle movements, he would not be so stupid.
He hesitated for a long time, and finally managed to say, "It is said that he wanted to assassinate Princess Funing."
Zhao Anping stood up immediately after hearing this. "What did you say? You want to assassinate Princess Funing? You come to ask me to rescue her? Do you know that Princess Funing is my biological sister? Most importantly, do you know what the crime of assassinating the princess of the current dynasty is? The whole family will be executed."
Zhao Anping now just wants to pry open the heads of these tribesmen to see why they are so stupid.
Zhao Zhimo and Zhao Zhifu also looked at Zhao Changcai immediately. What a fierce man! They had seen the guards around their aunt, all of whom were good at fighting ten people at once. How could this man's wife and daughter dare to provoke them?
The saying "Ignorance is bliss" is indeed true.
Zhao Changcai was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then he said in a chuckle, "Nephew, please don't scare me. Princess Funing is a daughter of our Zhao family. How could she possibly execute her entire clan? Besides, my wife and daughter didn't have any such intentions. They just wanted to see the princess, but she refused to see them, so they just made a scene at the gate."
"Oh, she's a daughter from our Zhao family. We won't kill all nine generations of her family." Zhao Anping said this first, and then added the following sentence, "Maybe we will just kill your whole family."
What Zhao Anping meant was that your actions could not implicate me anyway, so you deserve to die.
"Nephew, you have to save us! We are your elders." Zhao Changcai couldn't wait to show his life-saving trump card.
"Oh, or not!" Zhao Anping had made up his mind not to rescue these idiots, otherwise his younger sister would vent her anger on him, and he couldn't bear it.
"Zhao Anping, what do you mean? How dare you disrespect the elders?" Zhao Changcai was also panicked at this time, but he could not be cowardly, because this was related to the lives and property of his family.
"Oh, don't forget, I am the clan leader. I can exterminate the clan with just one vote."
Zhao Anping's meaning was very clear. Stop pretending to be an elder in front of him. He didn't even know how distant a branch of the family you were from. He had no self-awareness at all.
At this moment, Zhao Anping felt that his father had given a portion of his private property to the clan, and he was afraid that it was a mistake. The hearts of these clan members had been raised!
Seeing Zhao Anping's toughness, Zhao Changcai was really scared. He immediately slid off the chair and knelt on the ground. "Nephew, no, Marquis Wu'an, you have to save your aunt and your sister! Please!"
Zhao Changcai knocked his head loudly at this time. He mainly felt that his daughter should not go to jail. He was still waiting for his daughter to marry into a good family and help them in the future!
"Go back! I'm just a marquis. I can't cover up any trouble you get into. I can't do that either. And I'm not your parents. Just pray that Princess Funing doesn't let your family in to reunite."
After Zhao Anping finished speaking, he ordered people to forcibly send Zhao Changcai out.
Zhao Changcai was of course indignant. He lingered outside the gate of the Wu'an Marquis Mansion for a long time. Finally, he glanced at the plaque of the Wu'an Marquis Mansion with hatred, turned around and went to the residences of the elders.
Zhao Lingmeng's beginning made Zhao Anping decide to clean up these lawless parasites in the clan.
Just as Zhao Anping made this decision, the clan elders arrived in the afternoon. Zhao Anping was having lunch when he heard the report and immediately dropped his chopsticks.
Zhao Zhimo and Zhao Zhifu were not affected by this atmosphere. They ate and drank as usual with their half-brothers and sisters.
Wu'an Hou Zhao Anping ignored them for a long time before slowly meeting them in the main hall in the front yard.
The elders of the Zhao family were already impatient, so when they saw Zhao Anping slowly coming in, their expressions were not very good. A few of them even had sarcastic expressions.
"This Marquis is so busy! He's busy even when he's in mourning at home, and he still has these elders waiting for him." Zhao Changxin felt that he was of the same generation as the old Marquis, and he valued his status as the elder of Marquis Wu'an. He was very unhappy with the feeling of being neglected at this time.
"This guy is really good at living off someone! He relies on someone else's protection and even comes to pretend to be an elder. The old saying is true, 'A pinch of rice is a blessing, a peck of rice is a grudge!'"
Zhao Anping is as angry now as he was respectful to these people before.
"Zhao Anping, you..."
Zhao Changxin almost fainted from anger at Zhao Anping's sarcastic words.
Seeing this, other elders also criticized Zhao Anping, thinking that his words were too rude.
Zhao Anping didn't care about them! He walked straight to the main seat at the top and sat down, saying bluntly: "If you are here to teach my nephew a lesson, then there is no need to say anything, just go back!
If you think that I, Zhao Anping, am unruly and unfit to enter your Zhao family's ancestral hall, you can just separate our branch out, or even expel us from the clan if that doesn't work."
"Nephew, please talk nicely. Why are you talking about something as serious as exterminating the clan?" Seeing this, one of the clan elders, Zhao Changyi, quickly stepped out to smooth things over. Their entire Zhao family was now under the protection of the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion. How could they dare to separate their branch?
"Then tell me, what are you doing here today?" Zhao Anping just wanted to scold them to death. He chose them to be the elders, but they only knew how to get benefits, and they did nothing to restrain and educate the tribe members.
Seeing Zhao Anping's attitude, everyone used their eyes to signal that the matter should be forgotten. However, Zhao Changxin felt that it was just a matter of a word, so what was there to say? He said with a serious attitude: "As for Zhao Changcai's matter, you should ask the princess for help. It's not easy for Changcai's family either."
Just as Zhao Changcai finished speaking, he saw Zhao Anping throw the teacup in his hand to the ground and looked at them coldly, "I am giving you face, right? I chose you as the elders, but you don't know how to educate the tribe members, and you only know how to shield and ask for benefits. Why can't Jingguo tolerate you?
Benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness—I haven't seen any of these virtues since I came back. All I've seen are scoundrels and shameless people. Even the Princess Chang's consort has the audacity to offer himself to her? Someone who doesn't know would think our Zhao family keeps a whore. Just because someone wants to cling to someone higher up—doesn't that have any shame?
Why do my cousins and nieces still want to be my concubines? You are all elderly people, do you have any shame? Is our Wu'an Marquis protecting our clan members or a cancer?
And those who seized fertile land and raped women, is my Zhao family a den of bandits? The laws of Jingguo can no longer control you? You are simply shameless. "
