Chapter 1580: Chapter 1474: A New Official Sets Three Fires
A few mbers of the Song Family hurried forward to catch Song i Qin.
"Haha, it’s fake, fake!"
Song i Qin seed to have gone mad. As she spoke, she stuffed the torn paper into her mouth, and then... she swallowed it.
"Grab her quickly!" Song Ergou shouted, a bit exasperated.
Several people finally rushed to Song i Qin’s side and grabbed her hands, but a perfectly fine contract was now half eaten.
"Song Ergou, you have no evidence, no evidence to prove my son did it!" Song i Qin exclaid joyfully.
The originally frantic Song Ergou, suddenly had a shy smile on his face, which stunned Song i Qin.
"Sorry, what you just had was actually made by . Of course, you could say I had soone copy it. The real contract is here."
As he spoke, Song Ergou smugly snapped his fingers at soone nearby, who brought out a box.
Song Ergou opened the box, took out a contract identical to the previous one, and said, "Your family’s Song Kunlun’s contract is right here!"
"What!"
Song i Qin was alard, "You tricked ."
"Yes, I tricked you, indeed I did. How did it feel eating paper? Speaking of which, Song i Qin, why did you eat paper? Feeling guilty?" Song Ergou asked.
"I... I just didn’t want to see my son being slandered!" Song i Qin shouted.
"Still trying to argue your way out." Song Ergou shook his head, glanced at Mr. Song, and said, "Second Uncle, what do you think we should do about this?"
"You are the Family Head; it’s up to you." Mr. Song squinted slightly, his expression very calm, as if everything happening had nothing to do with him.
"Very well."
Song Ergou turned to Song i Qin and said, "Song Kunlun is suspected of conspiring with outsiders to kill clan mbers, with conclusive evidence. Now, in the na of the Song Family Patriarch, I expel Song Kunlun from the Song Family and order Song Yun to capture Song Kunlun and bring him back to the Song Family to await clan justice!"
"Got it!!!!!!"
Song Yun nodded respectfully.
"Song i Qin, suspected of covering for her son Song Kunlun, I, in the na of Family Head, remove the head of Song i Qin’s branch position and bring her back to the Song Family for later justice."
"Song Ergou, you can’t do this, I’m your elder!!!"
Song i Qin yelled, twisting her body desperately, but the people around her held her tightly.
"Ergou..."
Song i Feng hesitated for a mont, just about to say sothing when Song Ergou said, "Song i Qin’s branch will now be managed by Song ifeng. Aunt, you don’t need to say more, this matter is settled."
Song i Feng sighed, glanced at Song i Qin, but said nothing more, while Song Dong stood beside them, his head lowered, as if he didn’t see anything.
"Song Dong, help !"
At this mont, Song i Qin seed to think of sothing and shouted, "Song Dong, help !"
"i Qin, you... you made a mistake yourself; no one can save you, only you can save yourself." Song Dong shook his head and said.
"You!! You want to abandon ; do you think you can cleanly distance yourself from the past!" Song i Qin seed mad, shouting, "If you don’t help , be careful I’ll reveal your secrets."
"You! Are you crazy!!" Song Dong shouted, "i Qin, what you did has nothing to do with !!"
"Song Dong, you won’t save !!!" Song i Qin scread, "Don’t forget, when Song Ergou went to Jiang Region, you arranged people to leak Song Ergou’s location, which led to him being ambushed!"
"You!! What nonsense are you saying!" Song Dong’s face changed dramatically, "Don’t accuse
without evidence. Ergou, don’t listen to this mad woman shouting nonsense."
"Evidence? I have a recording!! You won’t escape either, Song Dong!! If I, Song i Qin, can’t live well, then you shouldn’t expect to live well either, and Song Ergou, you dare expel my Kunlun from the Song Family, you’ll face retribution, my Kunlun won’t spare you!" Song i Qin shouted.
"Recording..." Song Ergou touched his chin, glanced at Song Dong, and said, "Song Dong, is there anything else you want to say..."
"I... I didn’t do anything, Ergou, you must believe , don’t listen to her ranting. She’s gone mad and is biting everyone." Song Dong said.
"I don’t know if she’s really mad; how about this, Song Dong, I’ll have soone keep an eye on you first, and then I’ll send soone to Song i Qin’s room to check for any recordings. If there’s none, I’ll apologize to you. If there is, then I have to say sorry."
Several people stepped forward to control the obviously flustered Song Dong, then Song Ergou waved his hand, and Song i Qin and Song Dong were both taken away.
As the saying goes, a new official brings three fires; Song Ergou’s fires were quite fierce.
The first one burned Song i Qin down, the second one burned Song Dong down.
Almost everyone couldn’t believe that Song Ergou had such boldness, targeting the heads of two major branches right after becoming Family Head, and it seed he ca well-prepared, aning he had planned to go after these two.
Everyone in the ancestral hall was in turmoil because many belonged to either Song i Qin’s or Song Dong’s branch, and they had just watched their branch heads taken away, along with so shocking news like Song Kunlun allegedly conspiring with outsiders to kill clan mbers, and Song Dong supposedly setting up an ambush for Song Ergou.
Such matters were unimaginable in normal tis.
These unimaginable events unfolding before them led to a temporary confusion in many minds.
The atmosphere in the ancestral hall was unstable.
At that mont, Song Ergou spoke.
"Uncle Chun, I’ll have to trouble you to oversee Song Dong’s branch until the investigation concludes and arrangents are made. Is that okay?" Song Ergou asked.
"That’s fine." Song Chun nodded, saying, "Ergou, you must investigate this thoroughly, as they are heads of their branches. Without strong, direct evidence, it can easily unsettle people’s emotions below. You understand ?"
"Understood."
Song Ergou nodded and said, "The Song Family’s developnt still requires the cooperation of all the elders. I’ve just stepped up, just beca the Family Head, many matters and principles I don’t yet understand, so if I have offended in any way, please forgive . We share the sa goal, to develop the Song Family better, right?"
"That’s true." Song i Feng nodded and said, "I’ll do my best to help you, and Tie Niu will return, then he will also be your right hand."
"Tie Niu, huh..." Song Ergou smiled and said, "Haven’t seen him in a long ti."
"Hmm, Tie Niu misses you a lot!" Song i Feng nodded and said, "By the way, Ergou, you say the branch affairs were really done by Kunlun and Song Zhou’s people?"
"That’s right." Song Ergou nodded, "I’ve investigated, it’s absolutely true."
"Ah!" Song i Feng sighed and said, "How could Kunlun do such a thing? Ergou, you’d better have Kunlun return to the Song Family soon. Things need to be cleared up."
"I do want him to return, but whether he wants to is another matter," Song Ergou said with a smile.
