Section 141: The Ou Yang Family
The Ou Yang Family
(1) The Ou Yang Family, ranked third among the Seven Great Families of Linhai City
Since the late Qing Dynasty, the OuYang family has been deeply rooted in Linhai city. Although they endured turbulent times afterward, after a period of recuperation and growth, these years have seen them regain their former splendor. 。Over a century of accumulated heritage has made the Ou Yang family a force to be reckoned with, respected by all other families. 。It is precisely because of its hundreds of years of heritage and accumulation that the Ouyang family holds immense power in the military, political, and business spheres. 。Over the years, the Ou-Yang family has also deliberately cultivated their own people to enter these fields. 。Backed by a powerful family with strong financial resources and connections, they often experience faster promotions, greater influence, and quicker advancement within the OuYang family. 。All of this, is mutually beneficial. 。 And now, this is such a big family. The next heir being cultivated by the Ouyang family, the grandson of the current head Ouyang Wudi, Ouyang Yu, was cruelly murdered. 。Even someone like Ou Yang Wu Di, who had weathered countless storms and challenges, dared not look upon the gruesome sight of his grandson's severed head. 。He was very angry. 。For the first time in how many years, he felt such a surge of anger and profound pain. 。Because he felt this was a challenge to the authority of the Ou Yang family, a blatant provocation. 。At this time, Ou Yang Wu Di was lying in bed, his family doctor had just served him medicine. 。Yes, he fell ill. After learning that his own grandson had been brutally murdered, he spat out a mouthful of blood and then collapsed. 。On the other side of his bedroom in the living room, his three sons and some elders of the OuYang family, as well as influential figures, were present. 。They were whispering to each other, all discussing about the murder of Ouyang Yu and the illness of Old Master Ouyang. 。No family is ever perfectly united. 。Especially when faced with the temptation of power 。The OuYang family has been passed down for hundreds of years, and naturally there are quite a few branches and collateral lines. 。And they, were unwilling to have the eldest son continue to dominate the position of head of the family, even though there was a rule in the family regulations stating this. 。But times are changing, and some rules should also change, right If even emperors can be democratically elected, why should the family head have to inherit Why not have a democratic selection insteadOuyang Wudi is almost eighty years old. He's getting old, and now he's sick too. 。This is an opportunity, everyone has their own thoughts. 。The only one who wasn't interested was Ouyang Wudi's eldest son, Ouyang Yu's father, Ouyang Yingliang. 。The pain of losing a child is more important than power. 。What's more, he had never been powerful within the OuYang family. The only thing that brought him comfort was having a very capable son. 。But now this future head of the OuYang clan, has been cruelly murdered. 。Could he possibly avoid feeling pain Seeing the complex expressions on his two younger brothers' faces, as well as those of the elders from the Ou Yang clan and their fellow kinsmen, made his heart even more confused and pained. 。Thinking about this, he stood up a little dazed and was about to walk outside. 。He was going to look at his son's urn, to take one last glance at his son's photo. 。Brother Ot, where are you going Just then, Ouyang Yingke, Ouyang Yingliang's younger brother who was sitting to his left, said somewhat (3) unhappily. 。In such a solemn environment, you actually say stand up and stand up, say leave and leave, what do you think of the people Ouyang Yingshi thought angrily in his heart. 。Ouyang Yingliang turned his head and gave his younger brother a deep look, a sneer playing at the corner of his mouth. 。He ignored his reminder and just walked forward in a daze. He wanted to leave this place, leave this room that had no warmth or affection. 。Ouyang Yingshi wanted to reach out and grab his older brother, but he was held back by his younger brother Ouyang Yingcheng, who shook his head at him. 。Those elders saw that Ou Yang Yingliang was a bit lost and didn't stop him. 。Several elders also let out a slight sigh, looking at this most incompetent person of the Ouyang family with a hint of pity. 。Some elders still had wicked thoughts in their hearts: How could a powerful patriarch like Master Ouyang give birth to such an incompetent son Did they skimp during his delivery Just look at his two brothers, each one more capable than him.Ouyang Yingliang's departure did not cause much attention. 。In their eyes, Ou Yang Ying Liang had never existed. 。It wasn't before, and it won't be in the future. 。There was also a very capable son, Ou Yang Yu, who everyone feared might take over the family business. Because of this, they dared not make things too difficult for Ou Yang Liang. 。But what about now According to the family rules, Ou Yang Ying Liang has the right to inherit the position of head of the family. 。Who would even think of him now 。Thus, too many variables appeared at this location. 。
Youngest brother Ouyang Yingcheng leaned his head towards second brother Ouyang Yinkong's ear and whispered, "Don't bother with that useless fellow, just let him go (4)..."
But... But OuYang Yingke hesitated to speak. 。Though he looked heartbroken, he was secretly over the moon. 。After learning that his nephew, Ouyang Yu, had been murdered, he was first shocked and then happy. 。He just hid it better, always appearing incredibly pained. Who knows the joy hidden in his heart Ouyang Yu died, and Big Brother Ouyang Yingliang was once again incompetent. 。According to the family's rules, the next head of the family would be him if he wasn't assassinated unexpectedly. 。
You said, couldn't he be unhappy
However, seeing so many elders and relatives below with those jealous and envious complex eyes, he still felt a little ashamed, so he wanted to pull his eldest brother along, the three brothers working together to achieve swift victory.
Even if he helped his elder brother ascend to power, him secretly ruling from behind the curtain wouldn't be impossible either. 。If it was a normal day, he wouldn't even bother with the most incompetent person in the Ouyang family. 。He was even thinking: after he becomes the head of the family, should he expel his elder brother from the family 。Because he doesn't do anything for the family, he just eats and drinks for free. 。And he has a special hobby, calligraphy. He loves it so much that he wastes quite a lot of high-quality rice paper every year. 。The old man was content with this childish hobby, to the contrary. 。Just as everyone was thinking differently, Ouyang Wudi's housekeeper, who was over fifty years old, quietly walked into Ouyang Wudi's bedroom. 。Seeing that Ou Yang Wu Di was awake, he walked over and said respectfully: "Master Ou, the Yun family called, should we answer or not""The Yun family" Ou Yang Wu Di sat up a little weakly and asked, "The Yun family called""Yes, Yun Hong Sheng called." 。Ot, the butler, looked respectfully. 。That boy, 。Ouyang Wuji seemed to have recalled something and said faintly, 。Total: 4,960,90, established on September 30, 2013ed them to leave first. If it came to fighting, Ye Fan had no confidence against these members of the Dark Night Squad. However, when it came to escaping, these little rabbits were still very capable,...
