"Since that's the case, do you have any opinions on my appointment as the new head of the Cui family in Qinghe? If so, I will say it out now, and I will never make things difficult for you."

As soon as this sentence was said, the people who were silently lowering their heads raised their heads and looked at Cui Laosan with surprise. Is this going to seize power? Is this going to dismiss Cui Zhang openly and ascend to the throne? At this time, the head of the family who was determined to die was dismissed, and ascend to the throne, leading everyone to find a way to survive, leaving the green mountains there, not afraid of no firewood. Is this possible?

It seems that there is no way other than this...

"Meet the head of the family!" A middle-aged man next to Cui Laosan was the first to bow down, expressing his loyalty to Cui Laosan, and supporting Cui Laosan to dismiss Cui Zhang's head of the family, and ascend to the throne to find a chance to survive for everyone... With the first person, there are naturally second, third, and fourth, because people have a herd mentality, but often there is a lack of a leader. Since this person appears, there is nothing else to say, and it's just like that...

Everyone expressed their support for Cui Laosan's role as head of the family and expressed their loyalty to Cui Laosan. Cui Zhang's staunch supporters have disappeared without a trace. Except for the broken-minded Uncle Cui Qi, there is really no one. Cui Laosan disdainedly felt that these people were all fencemen, without their own persistence. For their own lives, everyone could betray them. Humph, after they settled down, none of these people could stay, especially those who supported Cui Zhang and me in the past!

This is a later story. Cui Laosan expressed allegiance to him when he saw everyone. He was still very excited. After waiting for so many years, he finally overthrew Cui Zhang, successfully ascended the throne, and became the supreme ruler of the Cui family. Hahaha, this feeling is really good...

However, the most important thing in front of you is to resolve the crisis in the shortest time. Consolidate your status and power, then revitalize Shandong, become the leader of scholars in the world, and continue to fight against Li Shimin. That's not good? What a simple thing... Cui Laosan smiled proudly and said, "Since this is the case, you all support me as the head of the family. Then, I will give an order. The first order, you will go with me to Cui Zhang's study and take back all the tokens of the head of the family, otherwise, how can I order the city gate to open?"

Everyone said yes, it would be best if someone took the initiative to stand up and block things at this time. As long as they can save their lives, what else is not allowed?

Cui Laosan smiled coldly and was about to leave, but before he could move around. A servant rushed in outside the meeting hall and knelt on the ground and cried: "Sanlang, Sanlang, Qiye, Qiye, he is gone!"

Everyone was shocked, even Cui Laosan was no exception. Uncle Cui Qi, left?

Cui Sanlang frowned and shouted angrily: "How is it possible! What's going on! Explain it to me clearly! What's wrong with Master Qi?"

The servant cried and said, "Master Qi, Master Qi committed suicide by hanging himself on the old pine tree!"

Quiet, terrible quiet...

The old man was finally martyred. The only person who was martyred for the faith in his heart was that old man...

The guilt in his heart finally couldn't help it. Many people covered their faces and cried. The low sobs merged together and stabbed them in Cui Laosan's heart like a needle. Cui Laosan scratched his head irritably and shouted: "Enough! What's more, it's like! Qi Ye's own business! Qi Ye's own thing is to do! We also have what we have to do. We have reached this point, how can we stop? You can restrain Qi Ye's body. During the special period, special handling, find a sub-coffin, find a Feng Shui treasure land for temporary burial. When the matter comes to an end, we will be safe. If the burial is prosperous, we will be worthy of Qi Ye."

The servant was stunned for a while, then he got up and left crying. Although Uncle Cui Qi was stubborn, he was very famous, generous and modest. Although he was strong, he did not lack tolerance. He always treated his servants well, so he was deeply loved by the people of the Cui family. It was precisely because of his similar personality that he supported Cui Zhang very much and got together with Cui Zhang...

Now Uncle Cui Qi is dead. Although it is not auspicious, for himself, the biggest hidden danger has been eliminated. Uncle Cui Qi, who represents almost all the servants of the Cui family and the sons of the retainers, is dead. Cui Zhang's biggest reliance is gone. Even if he wants to resist, there is no chance. No one will listen to him again. The current Cui family in Qinghe is my Cui Sanlang's Qinghe Cui family! It's not your Cui Zhang's!

Cui Laosan made up his mind and strode towards Cui Zhang's study. Everyone behind him looked at me, and I looked at you, sighed together, wiped his tears, and followed Cui Laosan's footsteps. Now, they really have no way out...

At the gate of the courtyard of Cui Zhang's study, Cui Laosan and others saw Cui Maolin, the personal slave who stood here. It has been thirty years since he followed Cui Zhang for thirty years. He is Cui Zhang's first confidant and the old housekeeper of the Cui family. It is not surprising that he is standing here at this moment, but what is the paper he is holding?

Cui Laosan walked to Cui Maolin and said, "Butler Cui, after we agreed unanimously, we all felt that Cui Zhang was no longer suitable to be the head of the family. Everyone recommended me as the new head of the Cui family. Now, I want to find Cui Zhang, take the token of the head of the family, and then announce the opening of the city gate to save the lives of the Cui family. What do you think?"

Cui Laosan looked at Cui Maolin coldly. This could be said to be Cui Zhang's final help. As long as Cui Maolin does not support Cui Zhang, the big thing will be settled. However, if Cui Maolin firmly supports Cui Zhang, then Cui Laosan has to use coercive means to kill Cui Maolin and completely eradicate Cui Zhang's power.

Cui Maolin looked at Cui Laosan coldly, then glanced at the Cui family again, and a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth and said, "Of course I have no objection. Even if I have an objection, it will be useless."

Although Cui Laosan was very unhappy with this smile, Cui Maolin gave up resisting. This is a good way. At worst, just deal with him secretly. What are you worried about? Just a slave, not a human being...

"Because the master is dead." Cui Maolin said.

"Yes. Even if Cui Zhang is still alive, it doesn't matter, let alone he is dead... he is dead... he is dead..." Cui Laosan seemed to notice something, his eyes suddenly widened, and he shouted in an incredible tone: "What did you say? Say it again!? Cui Zhang is dead? He is dead? How could he die! How could he die! Without my orders and my permission, how could he die! How could he die!!!" Cui Laosan hugged Cui Maolin's shoulders with his hands a little hysterical, and shook them hard.

The Cui family members behind him were all as if they were struck by lightning. Obviously, in just a few minutes, the two important figures of the Cui family in Qinghe died one after another. The blow to them was too great, and the amount of information was too great to accept, and they were stunned...

"How can he die? Without my order, I have not killed him with my own hands, how can I? How can I..." Cui Laosan stopped his hysterical behavior, lowered his hands weakly, his eyes were lost, and muttered to himself. Cui Maolin handed the letter to Cui Laosan's hand, and then smiled disdainfully: "The master said before his death. He was sorry to Cui, sorry to the old master's trust, sorry to the ancestors' expectations, and sorry to everyone. It was precisely because of his incompetence that Cui fell to the current level.

There is nothing to say when it reaches this point. The master abdicated himself and gave the position of the head of the family to Sanlang. Sanlang replaced the position of the head of the Cui family, and then opened the city gate and surrendered to the Tang army in exchange for his own safety. In order to make a comeback, you must not resist unnecessary. Saving your life is the most important thing. Then, the master, as the most important evil person, committed suicide by taking poison and following the old master and ancestors, hoping that they can forgive the master, and at the same time, they will not leave an excuse for the Tang army to start a massacre.

The old slave has been following the master for thirty years and has entrusted his life to the master. Since the master has gone, the old slave has also completed the master's final order. So the old slave has to accompany the master. The old slave still has to continue serving the master. Everyone, please do it yourself. I will take a step first." After saying that, Cui Maolin suddenly pulled out a short knife from his waist, stabbed it into his abdomen, and snatched his heart. He vomited a large mouthful of blood. Cui Maolin knelt on the ground with a free smile, and then bent forward and fell to the ground...

"Master, although I have never seen you, I have done the first thing for you, and although it is the last thing, this is the last loyalty of the old slave. The old master, what you have entrusted, I have done it. The old slave can no longer be with you. If you want to follow the master and continue to live, the old slave will be able to smile. Also, the old slave will continue to monitor them below, and will never stop for generations..."

Cui Maolin is dead...

In front of these people, he committed suicide by separating himself and blood flowed all over the floor...

"Vomit..." Many people have never seen blood or dead people. They can't withstand this strong impact and vomit. They vomit while crying. Including the sadness and shock in their hearts, this day is really more exciting than in the past few decades. It's enough, it's really enough. It's enough to experience such a thing once. Don't experience anything. Stabilization and safety. This is the most important thing, and nothing else is important!

Cui Laosan entered Cui Zhang's room with unspeakable emotions and silently took away the tokens of the head of the family. The things were neatly placed on the table in front of Cui Zhang. During the whole process, Cui Laosan never looked at Cui Zhang, but just took away the tokens, and then left the room silently, as if he was escaping, and did not dare to leave even for a second...

The major event was settled. Cui Laosan took the token of the head of the family and formally ordered the Cui family of Qinghe to give up resistance, open the city gate, surrender to Cheng Zhijie, the supreme commander of the Tang army outside the city, presented a letter of surrender, admitted his guilt, and accepted all measures of punishment, and only asked the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to spare their lives.

Cheng Yaojin took the surrender document and felt relieved. The heart that had been hanging in his throat finally returned to his stomach. He felt at ease, but when he knew that the seventh Master of the Cui family and the former head of the Cui family, Cui Zhang, had one hanging and the other taking poison, he couldn't help but tremble... Only these two people in the Cui family could treat him sincerely, right?

Uncle Cui Qi and Cui Zhang firmly support the betrothal of Cui Zhang's daughter to Cheng Yaojin. It is precisely because of their support that Cheng Yaojin was able to get the five-family women that men of this era dream of as their wives. However, now, these two most important people are no longer there, and the misery in Cheng Yaojin's heart is understandable.

He put down the surrender document, closed his eyes, tried his best to hold back his tears, and did not let the tears flow out. Then he opened his eyes, pulled out the sword from his waist, and shouted: "Go to the city to surrender, arrest all the Cui clan members, whether men, women, old or young, and be arrested. In addition, no damage to every grass or tree in the city, and no needle or thread are allowed. If there is any violation, military law will be dealt with!"
