Time passed by minute by minute, and just as Wei Yuxin was anxiously waiting, Yi Xue ran into the yard in a panic.

Seeing her come in, Wei Yuxin stood up quickly and asked from a distance: "Yixue, how is it over there? Has Grandpa Zixi come out?"

"Not yet."

Yixue shook her head and said worriedly: "The clan members are basically all here, and the elders have taken their seats. Now the old man is maintaining the order of the meeting. The atmosphere in the venue is not very good. People are talking about Chu Yang coming to Ruoyexi everywhere, and they want the old man to give an explanation!"

Wei Yuxin looked at Chu Yang and said anxiously: "I'm afraid your grandpa won't be able to come out in time. What should we do now?"

Chu Yang thought about it and felt that Wei Yongyuan shouldn't have much change. He hasn't arrived yet, and he probably plans to come out at a critical moment.

In this case, he must go up and fight those old men first.

Dongdongdong!

At this time, the sound of drums came from outside the courtyard again. Wei Yuxin's face tightened and she said, "Let's go quickly. The third drum has 108 beats. We must be there before it ends, otherwise we will be punished according to the clan rules!"

"No need!"

Chu Yang was not panicked at all and said, "No matter how early or late we go today, we will be troubled by these old men. It's better to go later and let them wait a little longer. Anyway, we are going to have a falling out. I don't want to go early and be stared at like a monkey."

"That's right."

Wei Yuxin knew that she didn't have a good impression in front of the clan members. If she went too early, she would probably hear a lot of dirty words, so she agreed to Chu Yang's proposal.

...

The drying field is a field covering more than ten acres. Every year, the grain harvested in autumn is dried here.

This place is spacious and flat, and it is idle at this time, so the venue for this clan meeting is set here.

This clan meeting involves the rise and fall of the Wei family, so it seems particularly grand. After agreeing to the request of the clan elders to hold a clan meeting, Wei Sizhe urgently arranged people to prepare.

At this time, a platform with a height of one meter and a length and width of ten meters had been built in the middle of the drying field, and a red carpet was laid on it, which looked particularly solemn.

Winter is the slack season for farming. Before the first drum sounded, a large number of Wei clan members poured into the drying field.

By the time the third drum sounded, almost everyone who should have come had arrived. The five clan elders on the stand had taken their seats, all sitting quietly in their respective seats with serious faces.

The five seats opposite the clan elders were reserved for the clan members, but no one sat down at this time. Only Wei Sizhe walked around on the stage, arranging his subordinates to make preparations before the meeting, and maintaining order in the venue from time to time.

When the third drum sounded, Chu Yang and Wei Yuxin still did not show up. Everyone looked at the door of the drying field, waiting for them to show up at the last moment.

However, after 108 drum beats, Chu Yang and others still did not appear.

"Will they run away?"

Someone whispered to the companions around.

These people came quite early. They were prepared to wait at the intersection of the drying field and curse Chu Yang when he came, but they waited and waited but no one showed up. Someone finally said angrily: "The bastard surnamed Chu must have escaped. Maybe it was arranged by the young clan leader!"

"Yes, I think so too!"

"We can't let him leave. We must catch him and punish him severely to set an example!"

"Why don't we ask the clan elders to order them to catch him, so that we can handle him!"

The proposal to catch someone resonated with many people. These people all called out and asked the clan elders to come forward to catch Chu Yang.

Wei Qinzhi heard the clan members' noise clearly, but he was not worried that Chu Yang would escape, because now there are their people guarding the key passes of Ruoye Creek. Not to mention people, even a fly can't fly out.

He had heard a secret report before, saying that Chu Yang and his mother and son had not left the courtyard since they returned to their residence last night. They must have been frightened by the huge battle today and could only shrink in the courtyard to seek comfort.

After waiting for a while, Wei Qinzhi and several elders looked at each other and looked at Wei Sizhe who was standing on the stands with his hands behind his back.

"Ahem."

Wei Qinzhi coughed twice, attracted Wei Sizhe's attention, and said, "It's getting late, why hasn't your father shown up yet?"

In addition to the two rows of seats on the left and right, there was a main seat on the stands. At this time, Wei Sizhe would rather stand than sit, which means that this is not the seat prepared for him. From this, it can be inferred that this is the seat left for Wei Yongyuan.

However, after the three drums were sounded, Wei Yongyuan did not show up, which made several elders very confused. Could it be that Wei Yongyuan has not woken up yet?

Wei Sizhe knew that they were very concerned about whether Wei Yongyuan could come, so he said, "Sixth uncle, my father has already 'come out of retreat' and is dealing with an important matter now. I'm afraid he will have to wait a while before he arrives."

Wei Qinzhi was not sure whether what he said was true or false. He stared at Wei Sizhe's expression for a moment and said, "It's cold today, and so many clansmen have come. It's not good to let them wait. I think we should pick an unimportant matter to deal with first."

There was nothing else important today. It was nothing more than discussing the right to distribute materials. Another relatively unimportant matter naturally referred to the fact that the Zong family invited Chu Yang to Ruoye Creek without authorization.

However, this relatively unimportant matter also had great value. At least it could put more pressure on the previous matter and play a vital role in paving the way.

Wei Sizhe looked at the empty seats in the Zong family and was very troubled by the fact that Chu Yang and his son had not shown up yet. What these old men were best at was making excuses. If they were late for so long and still didn't come, the clan elders would definitely not let go of this opportunity to cause trouble.

Sure enough, as soon as Wei Qinzhi finished speaking, the rosacea elder shouted dissatisfied: "Wei Sizhe, we gave you face last time and didn't attack the boy named Chu in Yizhuang. You also promise After that, he will give us an explanation at the clan meeting, but he hasn’t shown up even after the three drums have been played. Doesn’t he take our Wei clan’s rules seriously?”

"this……"

Wei Sizhe's heart tightened, and he secretly regretted not informing Chu Yang in advance. Now that the clan elders had caught him, he might have been charged with another crime.

"It's ridiculous. The Wei family's rules only apply to the Wei family. When will they be able to control our Chu family?"

At this moment, a joking voice came from outside the crowd.

Although the sound was not loud, it was extremely penetrating. Amidst the noise of two thousand people, it clearly reached everyone's ears.

Everyone turned around and saw Chu Yang striding over, followed by Wei Yuxin and her daughter.

Crash.

Chu Yang approached the crowd, and the powerful aura around him made the Wei clan members involuntarily part ways. Wei Yuxin and her daughter followed Chu Yang and followed him to the stands.

Rosacea was contradicted by Chu Yang on the spot, and his old face turned red. Chu Yang was indeed not a member of the Wei family, and this clan rule did not apply to him, but Wei Yuxin's mother and daughter were surnamed Wei, and this clan rule could still play a restrictive role. .

"Asshole!"

The rosacea clan leader jumped up and yelled at Chu Yang: "It's just that you are not from the Wei family, but your mother and your sister are from the Wei family. According to the clan rules, anyone who fails to complete the three-way drum sound will be beaten in public." Twenty sticks for punishment... Come here, bring the instruments of torture!"
