Our family's property is all here, so I don't think he has the right to kick us out!
But Chief Xie seemed not to understand, so the situation remained deadlocked. Fortunately, the county magistrate was also present. Why don't you explain the laws of our Great Qi to him?"
Upon hearing this, Magistrate Liu's face turned green. What kind of clan chief was this? Was he tired of living and looking for death? He was deliberately causing trouble for him. This was someone who was even on the Emperor's radar. He couldn't even find a way to curry favor with him, and this guy was practically asking for it!
Especially with Han Zhongyu still present, Magistrate Liu was even more apprehensive and coldly shouted...
"Outrageous! The laws of our Great Qi clearly stipulate that one can register one's household if one has a house and a place to live. Those with household registration cannot leave their place of household registration at will. How can you, a clan leader, just drive people away as you please?"

"Nephew, your uncle is old and confused for a moment. We're all family, so please don't take it to heart. I apologize!"
The others also bowed and chanted.
"Brother Baotian, we were both confused for a moment, our hearts were blinded by greed, we're so sorry!"
Xie Baotian only sighed.
"We've already been expelled from your clan, so don't bother with any more talk of uncles, nephews, or brothers. I can't accept that. From now on, let's keep to ourselves!"
