These words were said straightforwardlyXia Qifei was Fan Xian's pawnIf Fan Xian represented the power of the court and wanted to use this opportunity to bloodlessly take in the Ming family's enorerous
The old htly murky eyes and said irritably, ”If that Fan person says so, then it is so? Will the entire court not be reasonable?”
Ming Qingda thought, When was the court ever reasonable? The court had always stood on their side, so all the reason and hardest fists belonged to the Ming familyIf the court had internal breaks, and their fist was enduring the pain and a itself, this reason would probably not be clear
He gave a pained smile and said, ”Please come to a decision,at his bidding today, the aHe also had the support of the i family should respond required the old matriarch to draft a plan
The old matriarch was not as just, forceful, and tyrannical on the inside as she seeda's question and only stared at the yard full of Ming Family descendantsShe said in a cold voice, ”Today, the situation is not the sao to each house to visit all you uncles, to have you all behave…today, I will repeatany trouble for the Ming familyIf you want to walk your bird, walk it at homeThrow out all those brutish arden!”

After these words ca them to walk their birds and wrestle was only a momentary boredo out the pitiful amounts of personal money to fill in the public purse? Every year at the palace treasury bidding, the faht bids were too outrageous, then don't coht so hard? The court wasn't going to set an upper limitWho kne much money would be thrown in?
These olden key in their mouth, yet had no power to inheritThey only knew to enjoy the pleasures of lifeWhat did they know about the truefales that hidden behind it? Hearing these words of the old matriarch, they unconsciously did not want to obey
The Sixth young athered his courage and said, ”Mother, ah, us brothers have never been involved in the fa to ourfamily to feedEven if we did have a private stash…but to put that pitiful aood, why not…”
Before he finished speaking, a teacup had already smashed to pieces in front of hiat the expression of the old round
The old matriarch looked slowly and coldly at him and said, ”Pitiful silver? Do you think I don't kno much you've taken from the business these years?

All of you, kneel and listen!”
After these words were issued, everyone, including Ming Qingda, knelt in front of the two grand chairs
The oldthe tree falls, do you think it will benefit you monkeys at all? I will speak plainlyIf we don't win the bid to family can last a few more years, eventually ill fall into dustAt this tio forward…at this juncture, don't you think you can still hide!”

When these words were uttered, Second, Fourth, and Fifth all had no objections, even though they were greatly pained to do soHowever, Third would not stand for it and straightened his neck to ask, ”Mother, why does Sixth only pays 150,000 liang?”
The old estThese two years he's been arrison and likes to wrestle, so he spends a bityourself to hih his nose and said, unsatisfied, ”Do I not spend silver usually?”
In reality, everyone knewThis was the old est born child, but these words could be said by anyone except Third because was the great-aunt's own childSeeing the situation was not good, the great-aunt quickly made eyes at Third, but Third was truly short on money and would not lower his head
