Chapter 15 The Battle of the City
After defeating Shen Aoli, Shen Aotian was not too excited. Even Shen Aokun was defeated by him. This game of tiger jab is just a small matter.
As Shen Aotian reached the fourfold of martial arts, he felt the pleasure brought to himself more and more. After having strong power, Shen Aotian's temperament changed amazingly.
Now Shen Aotian, like a ferocious tiger, lurking in the dense forest, waiting for the opportunity to move. As long as there is a chance, he must grasp it tightly. Shen Aotian now knows which road he will take in the future. Fight! Only by constantly fighting can you improve your strength, and only by constantly fighting and becoming a strong man can you help your father consolidate his current position as the head of the family.
At this time, the elders of the Shen family and the sidelines of the Shen family in the main hall of the Shen family had a fierce debate with Shen Guangrui. The reason for this dispute was caused by the family square city.
"The patriarch, Aofeng is still shallow. He should not have spoken at the monthly family meeting of the family, but today, I felt a little doubt when I heard the words of the uncles and elders of the clan, so I wanted to bring it up." Shen Aofeng said calmly in front of many elders and second-generation predecessors in the main hall of the Shen family.
"Aofeng, you are now a master at the peak of Tianganjing. You already have a place in the family meeting, but it doesn't matter." Shen Guangrui looked at Shen Aofeng with some surprise.
Shen Aofeng has always been the kind of person who knows how to advance and retreat. How could he speak at such an important meeting of the family? In the past, this kind of meeting was a meeting between the second generation of seniors of the clan and the elders to talk about the affairs of the city and the clan. Usually, the third generation of children were prohibited from entering, but Shen Aofeng's qualifications were outstanding and reached Tianang. At the peak of the situation, he has just been qualified to listen to the talk. This has given him great face. Why does he still want to speak?
"Pear, I just heard Elder Shen Yan say that the recent income in the city seems to be less than that of the Wu family and the Yan family, which are the same three families, right? Why is our Shen family so bad? What's the reason? Shen Aofeng spoke bluntly, not procrastinating at all, and had a bit of interrogation.
Many of the second-generation elders and elders of the Shen family who were present were pale and embarrassed. There seems to be nothing to show off about this kind of thing worse than others. Why didn't Shen Aofeng make it clear? Isn't this embarrassing for the Shen family? How can this son be so rude today!
"Cough, cough, Aofeng, this matter has been around for a long time, and we are also trying to find a solution." Shen Guangrui said awkwardly.
"Pear, Aofeng is not talented. After just hearing about the benefits of the city, Aofeng has an idea. I don't know if it can be put forward at the meeting." Shen Aofeng pondered for a moment and continued to say when he saw Shen Guangui nodded puzzledly.
"Aofeng thinks that the reason why the Shen family's income in the city is less than that of the Wu family and the Yan family is that the patriarch's management is not good, resulting in the income of the clan reduced!" As soon as Shen Aofeng finished speaking, he saw many second-generation elders of the Shen family and Shen's parents looking at Shen Aofeng in horror.
"Why is this son so direct and amazing? How dare he criticize the patriarch in public? What does he plan to do? What on earth did he rely on to have such confidence? Shen Hong, the second elder of the Shen family, looked at Shen Aofeng in surprise and thought to him.
Before Shen Guangrui answered, Shen Guangcheng next to him spoke.
"Yes, Aofeng is right, second brother, your business has indeed had problems in recent years."
Hearing this, among the elders here, except for the elder Shen Yan and the second elder Shen Hong, they all nodded and said yes. Even the vast majority of people in the collateral line nodded in agreement with this view.
"Smile!"
Shen Guangrui took a breath of cold air. What happened today? Are they premeditated? However, when Shen Guangrui saw the two elders Shen Yan and Shen Hong, he felt that things were not so bad. At least, the two most vocal among the elders have not yet made a statement.
"Gwangcheng, what are you talking about? It's just that Aofeng is ignorant. Why do you make a fuss? Recently, the Wu family and the Yan family have added an apprentice-level pharmacist, and the income from the development of more than one-grade elixirs has increased by one-th. Ao Feng doesn't know it's all. Why do you come to make a fus? Shen Hong scolded angrily.
"The two elders, no matter what the reason is, the patriarch has the obligation to maintain the prosperity of the family. However, in recent years, the family has not been as good as the other two families in business, and I just told the truth." Shen Guangcheng was not afraid at all and said loudly.
"This... Brother, it's not easy for the second brother to maintain his family. How can you say that about him?" Shen Guanghao looked at Shen Guangcheng with incredible eyes.
And before Shen Guangcheng said anything, Shen Yan next to him took the lead in saying, " Guanghao, Guangcheng, don't talk about it. It's really not easy for the patriarch to make a living in recent years. It's better to listen to what Aofeng said first. After all, he proposed this matter. Does he have any solution?"
At this time, everyone's eyes focused on Shen Aofeng, who seemed to enjoy this feeling.
"Your predecessors, the Shen family has a big family with a face in Qingyuan City. The patriarch should have a clan who can undertake great things. Although Uncle Guangrui is skilled in martial arts, many things he has done in recent years have not made the family stronger, and there has also been a decline in the income of the city. I hope that the elders can re-elect the patriarch. This is not just what I mean, but what all the people of the clans mean. After Shen Aofeng finished speaking, all the collateral clans present nodded one after another, as if it had been discussed for a long time.
Hearing this, everyone who was unaware of the scene changed their faces and stood up in terrified.
In particular, Shen Hong, the second elder, shouted angrily, "Shen Aofeng, you are a small third generation of children. When will it be your turn to decide such a big event?"
Shen Guangrui looked at all this calmly and did not make any action because of Shen Aofeng or Shen Hong's angry shouting.
"All this was premeditated by the eldest brother, and the eldest brother must have promised many benefits from Shen Aofeng and the collateral family, so that today's things will happen. I believe that after a while, I'm afraid there will be a second generation of collateral clans who openly support the eldest brother." Shen Guangrui knows that it has happened now and it's too late to stop it. Let's see what they say next.
"Don't be angry. Although the children should not be so reckless, Guangliang and many brothers also feel that the income of the clan has indeed decreased a lot compared with previous years. I think Brother Guangcheng is stable and suitable for being the head of the Shen family!" Shen Guangliang patted his son on the shoulder and got up and said.
Seeing this scene, the elders and the second generation of the clan, as well as Shen Guanghao, felt that this matter was a conspiracy from the beginning. Someone had planned to change the patriarch, and this matter was most likely to be Shen Guangcheng.
