Du Shaoqing stayed in the Cui family for three days, and happened to be the day when the Cui family elected the patriarch for the second time.

But Du Shaoqing is not a five surname seven hope, and is not qualified to attend the Cui Family Ancestral Hall, so he can only wait for news.

Xue Rengui said with some concern: "Mysterious Doctor, Cui Hao seems to have a bad relationship with the Cui family. Can he get the position of patriarch?"

Du Shaoqing said calmly: "No."

puff……

Xue Rengui said speechlessly: "If you can't, what are we going to do?"

Besides, since you know you can't, what are you going to compete for?”

Du Shaoqing laughed and said, "Rengui, you have to know that everything in this world that you want to hold tightly in your hands cannot be inherited by others' alms. It must be taken by yourself.

Just like the position of the clan leader, even if Cui Hao succeeds and cannot convince the public, how many days can he do it?

Only when the Cui clan members were convinced and took the initiative to rely on him can he be truly the leader of the Cui clan of Qinghe."

"No, then if that's the case, why would Mr. Cui pass the throne to Cui Hao in one go?

As you said, isn’t Cui Hao surrounded by murderous intent?

The old man loves this grandson so much, he won’t hurt him.”

Du Shaoqing nodded: "I think it's a deep meaning, let's just wait and see what's going on.

I think we can set off after the clan meeting today. Cui Hao is really leaving the home where he grew up this time."

Xue Rengui seemed to understand but not understand, and he no longer asked more questions. He was just a guard, and he was really not good at these conspiracies.

The Cui family's ancestral temple was once again filled with clan members.

The old family of the big clan came here early, watching the tribe members coming in, including the other nobles who still had to continue to get involved.

But as the opening was approaching, Cui Junsu had not arrived yet, and many people were puzzled, why, did the second young master withdraw?

"It's so arrogant. Today's clan meeting. As one of the candidates for the clan leader, you are not afraid of missing the auspicious time?" A clan elder said dissatisfied.

Cui Junchuo explained: "My second brother may have something to delay? Let's wait for him, why bother with these small things?"

"Hmph, seeing the big ones from the small is not punctual at this time. If the Cui family has any critical moments, can they count on?"

you……

When Cui Hao saw his father being criticized, he retorted with a cold face: "The Cui family, the thousand-year-old family, has no tolerance for this? A joke!"

The old man in the clan turned red and he wanted to retort, but after thinking about it, he would be laughed at by a junior, so he turned to look at the third son of the old man in the clan.

The third child of the Cui family did not disappoint the other party, and mocked Cui Hao: "Cui Hao, you really don't have the right to come today."

Cui Hao said disdainfully: "The clan leader's order is at least more qualified than you. Some people are better off knowing themselves."

Who knew that the third son of the Cui family burst into laughter, "The clan leader's order? Holding a chicken feather as an arrow, the clan leader's order in your hand is humiliation.

No one in the world knows that Du Shaoqing is the emperor's son-in-law and the enemy of my Qinghe Cui clan. If you become a disciple of others, it is equivalent to surrendering to the enemy.

So naturally, if you take over as the patriarch, who knows if you sold our Qinghe Cui family to him in disguise?”

Well? This seems to make sense.

"What did you say?

I was born in the Cui family. What does the position of patriarch have to do with learning from the master?

You don't talk nonsense here and falsely accus me.

You can’t even make a difference between heaven, earth, king, parents and teachers, and the five constants of the world, and you still have the face to stand in the ancestral hall to face the ancestors and ancestors?”

Cui Hao obviously didn't give it for nothing. He brought the situation back in just one sentence, and many people regained their trust in Cui Hao again.

The third son of the Cui family said disdainfully: "Five Constant Persons in the World? So you are more loyal to the emperor than to the family?"

"Enough, Hao'er was born in the Cui family and raised in the Cui family, so he naturally would not be an ungrateful person who harmed the Cui family.

The dispute over words is futile, so let’s just stop talking. The important place of the ancestral hall is not a place where you ridicule each other?”

The two of them stopped smoking.

Cui Hao didn't know that he had already started to be plotted. The third son of the Cui family was proud and had planted a seed in the hearts of the tribe members. Some people would definitely be worried that Cui Hao and Du Shaoqing were too close.

Just as everyone was waiting impatiently, a man dressed up in panic rushed in, "No, it's not good! The second young master, he..."

Everyone was puzzled, "What's the matter? What's going on? Explain it clearly?

Why has Cui Junsu been delayed?"

The servant knelt directly on the ground and said with a sad face: "The second young master is dead!"

What???

"Bastard, do you dare to spread rumors and cause trouble? This is the Cui Family Ancestral Hall, how can you be arrogant?" The old man from the Eight Clan shouted angrily.

Cui Junchuo stepped forward, grabbed the other person's clothes and said anxiously: "What did you say? What's wrong with my second brother? You dare to talk nonsense, and you will beat him to death today!"

The servant was soft and his face turned pale: "I dare not talk nonsense. The second young master, he was killed in the house. I saw it with my own eyes."

Thumb...

Cui Junchuo took a few steps back and his mind was dizzy, "Impossible, how could the second brother be? This is his own family, he..."

"It's you, right?

Okay, in order to eliminate dissidents, you really do anything to do. That's my direct clan of Cui clan in Qinghe, you..."

Cui Junchuo looked like a madman, pointed at the old clan and questioned him, then squirted out a mouthful of blood and fainted gorgeously in Cui Hao's arms.

Cui Hao's face was full of bitterness. Looking back at the words of his master a few days ago, it really came true, and he couldn't help but feel cold on his back. Uncle, who was a senior official of the court, was actually killed? It is conceivable that if he was dealing with him, the other party wouldn't have blinked.

"Speak clearly, OK, how could Cui Junsu be killed in his own home? I can't explain clearly, I'm beaten to death with sticks today! The old clan scolded.

This servant was in trouble today. He came to report the news with kindness, but was threatened repeatedly.

"The youngest is a servant who swept the floor and is responsible for cleaning the second young master's yard. I thought the second young master came to attend the clan meeting, so I cleaned the yard as usual. Unexpectedly, I saw the middle door in the house wide open, and the second young master fell in a pool of blood. I was already-extremely angry..."

What???

"Cui Junsu is a direct descendant of the Cui family in Qinghe. How could he be killed in his own family? Isn't that right?

I suggest that the clan will be adjudicated. Now all clan elders will go with me to check the situation. The entire Qinghe City is martial law, only in and out, and the murderer must be caught." The clan elder said sternly.

It's a good move to win the lead. Many people don't care about such a righteous and stern performance, but they're just robbing them.

Sure enough, when everyone came to Cui Junsu's yard, they saw the scene reported by the servant. Everyone was shocked. Cui's family in Qinghe was not safe at home.

Cui Junchuo rushed up and hugged his brother's body and started crying. The two of them had a deep brotherhood, which shows that.

"Shoot with one sword. It seems that our Cui family is a master. Where is the guard team today? Take it all for me. The main family was assassinated. They didn't know that they were guilty!" The old clan said coldly.

At this moment, Du Shaoqing and Xue Rengui arrived, "I heard that Cui Junsu was assassinated? Who can tell me what happened? Cui Junsu is the minister of the Ministry of Rites of the court. Who dares to assassinate the imperial court? This matter will be investigated to the end."

"Well? Why are you here? This is the internal affairs of the Cui family, so outsiders don't need to get involved. Come and see off guests." The old clan scolded.

"I said that the imperial court ordered an assassination to be held by an official, and this is not a private matter of your family." Du Shaoqing insisted.

"We have just received the report and arrived. The prince consort is so well-informed. He came so quickly. I wonder who told you?" The old clan questioned.

Du Shao said calmly: "What? What does the elder of the big clan mean? You, a servant of the Cui family, came and went to notify me. After receiving the news, you came without stopping. Is there any problem?"

The old clan said in surprise: "Oh? Only Cui Xiaosi and his wife discovered this. We have strictly ordered martial law to ban the law and have never sent anyone to notify the prince consort. The prince consort should not joking."

Du Shaoqing felt a sudden slap in his heart, and finally felt something was wrong, but he said without changing his face: "Then I don't know. Your Cui family informed me, otherwise I wouldn't know that someone in the court dared to murder the Minister of Rites. Rengui, with my order, he reported to the official. This matter must be jointly held by the Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple.

Please rest assured, Cui Junsu is the official appointed by the court. If his death is done, the court will definitely punish the real murderer and give an explanation to the Cui family and the deceased."

At this moment, the third son of the Cui family stopped him and said, "Slowly, Qinghe City and the Cui family have been fully martial law, and they are only allowed to enter and not leave. The prince-in-law and Cui Junsu died at his own home. Our Qinghe Cui family is not incompetent. Without others intervening, you can find out the truth by yourself.

Report to the court? It will take more than a month to go back and forth. I am afraid that when the official comes, the daylily will be cold. The real murderer will have already escaped."

"The prince consort is so anxious to send your guard out of the city. Is there something hidden? "I don't know who said too much.

Everyone moved aside and surrounded Du Shaoqing and Xue Rengui. Du Shaoqing had basically seen clearly that these guys obviously wanted to pull the shit basin on him, so brave.

"Oh? What does this mean by you? You might as well say it straight, I don't like to be in a circle with people." Du Shaoqing jokingly said.

A middle-aged man stood up and pointed at Xue Rengui's sword and said, "Cui Junsu was sealed with a sword, and it was only half an hour.

Now, in the Cui family, in addition to their own people, they are the prince consort, and there are other guests of the five surnames and Qiwang.

But we all attended the clan meeting in the ancestral hall, and the prince consort and this guard..."

"Oh...you don't want to say that we killed Cui Junsu, right?" Du Shaoqing mocked.

"I see, your guard holding a sword and burly figure, is probably not a mediocre person. How dare our husband and wife let our people try it?" the man asked.

"Qinghe Cui? What a joke. Is it just so stupid to guess the innocent? Do you think that I, Du Shaoqing, are you a guest at Cui, and you can bully yourself?" Du Shaoqing said angrily.

At this moment, another servant rushed in, "It's not good, I've discovered the weapon."

As he said that, he brought in a blood-stained sword.

"Say, where did this come from?" Everyone cared.

"At, in, found in the grass at the door of these two guests, the small ones went to prune the flowerbed as usual."
