Chapter 381
Chuntao stepped forward to take the bamboo slip from Gu Gu's hand, and handed it to Bai Qingyan.
Gu Gu raised his head, looked at the patriarch like a torch, and was angry like a bell: "In recent years, most of the Bai family sent back the belongings of the clan. For reconciliation, the patriarch asked the old man in front of the town king if he didn’t trust you, the patriarch, and the matter of reconciliation was over, it’s unbelievable that there is such a mess of filth behind it.”
Before the old saying was finished, King Zhen knew that the patriarch was greedy behind his back, but he always felt that he was neither stupid nor deaf, and he was not a patriarch, so he was lenient. He did not expect that lenient became like this.
Bai Qingping was surprised and shocked. He didn't know that his grandfather was still greedy for the money sent back by Mo Dadu's Bai family.
After all, Bai Qingping was not in charge of the family, and he didn't know much about his family's income. He just received his share of expenses on a monthly basis.
After briefly looking at the bamboo slips, Bai Qingyan handed them to the guards beside her, and said indifferently, "Take it and show it to the clan elders!"
The guards responded, holding the ledger to the few remaining clan elders, who couldn't wait to grab the bamboo slips and open them...
One of the bamboo slips records the sum of the money sent back to the clan every year by Dadu Bai's family in recent years, and the sum of money received by Dadu Bai's family is recorded on the bottom. It is shocking in comparison. The patriarch is getting more and more greedy ...In the end, he even swallowed half of it privately.
There is also a pair of bamboo slips, which records the imperial bestowments sent back to the clan, and what is missing from the clan leader handed over to the clan.
The elders of the clan became more and more angry. These were originally belongings of the clan, but the clan leader took advantage of him as the clan leader to steal them for himself!
"I said just now why Bai Qiyun's daughter-in-law held Bai Qingjie... and said that she would try to beg Mr. Zhou to let him go! It turns out that the patriarch has a strong family background! Most of the men of the Bai family risked their lives to shine on the lintel of the Bai family, but you took most of Bai Your family enriches your own pockets with money from the clan, letting your descendants harm the common people, not to mention damaging the reputation of the Bai family, but also taking most of the money that the Bai family sacrificed their lives to save your descendants, what a scheming! What a scheming!"
"For so many years of deceiving the superior and the inferior... He is more greedy than others, and he pretends to be a breeze and dedicates himself to the tribe. He is really a good patriarch! No wonder the descendants are like that. It turns out that the upper beam is not upright and the lower beam is crooked! "
The oldest patriarch remembered the origin of the patriarch, and sneered sarcastically: "The one born by the concubine is the one born by the concubine! Even if it is recorded in the name of the aunt, the things in the bones can't be changed, and the things that can't be put on the table! When the previous patriarch was alive, although he was greedy, But he still knows how to restrain himself. When we come to our patriarch, this patriarch is exactly like his concubine mother. He puts all good incense in his nest, and dares to open his eyes and say I didn't take it myself!"
Bai Qingyan saw Shen Qingzhu standing outside the door from the corner of her eye, and nodded slightly.
Shen Qingzhu clasped her fists, turned around and left quickly.
The patriarch forcibly calmed down, holding Bai Qingping's hand but kept trembling: "This has nothing to do with me! I don't know about this! Cousin, I respect your seniority, you can reprimand me! I have no complaints! But I My father has passed away, so no matter what, he is your elder, and my cousin still needs to say good deeds."
In recent years, the clan and the Bai family have handed over silver and other things. The patriarch has never been contaminated by his identity. He has always let Bai Qiyun handle it. Bai Qiyun has been expelled from the clan, and the successor patriarch is obviously hopeless, so he cannot lose the position of patriarch, as long as he is still the patriarch , you can still protect your son with the authority of the patriarch! If he lost the position of patriarch, he would no longer be able to protect his son and grandson.
The patriarch made up his mind and gritted his teeth: "The handover has been handled by Qi Yun in recent years. I originally thought that Qi Yun would be the next patriarch, and let him hone it! Princess... Mr. Zhou, why don't you let him go?" Call Qi Yun back, and listen to what Qi Yun has to say? Qi Yun is my son... I believe that no matter how bad he is, he will not be greedy for the money and gifts given to the clan by the Bai family of Mo Dadu. "
The patriarch knew that if he insisted that his son did it, he would be inferior, so he pretended that we were here to investigate.
As soon as the patriarch's words fell, his old wife came in crying on crutches: "The head of the family... Bai Qingyan's guards rushed into our house with the guards from the Prince's Mansion, smashed open the warehouses, and smashed the warehouses like bandits. All the things in our house have been brought here, what the hell is this going to do!"
The patriarch almost couldn't get up in one breath.
Soon Shen Qingzhu led the courtyard guard army of the Prince's Mansion, under the watchful eyes of the common people, carrying jewelry, jade, as well as tribute leather goods and cloth rewarded by the emperor in previous years, into the courtyard without any hassle.
Although it was already dark, the flickering torches illuminated the surroundings of Bai's ancestral hall like daytime.
The people looked at the boxes of dazzling jewelry and corals, and lifted them in without covering their eyes. Their eyes were hot, and they cursed in their hearts that the patriarch was not a thing, and he was greedy for so many treasures!
The remaining clansmen were even more out of breath, wishing to skin and strip the clan leader.
The elder patriarch sneered: "This is why the patriarch doesn't know? Everything is in your warehouse, and you still don't know? Are you blind?"
The patriarch's old wife didn't know the situation, and looked up at her husband.
The patriarch's face was pale and livid, and he looked in Bai Qingyan's direction, only then did he understand...Bai Qingyan came prepared, she didn't just want to get rid of those children and Bai Qiyun and the others, but to clean up the clan, even his This patriarch will be cleaned up together!
Shen Qingzhu came in with the bamboo slips in his arms, clasped his fists to Bai Qingyan and said: "Princess, according to the ancient list and the clan manager's list, I found in the warehouse of the patriarch's house that the Bai family sent back to the clan, but did not enter the clan account. Son, many of them are tributes, and it is not difficult to find them! If they are missing and have not been found, the subordinates have circled them with a red pen, please look at them."
As he spoke, Shen Qingzhu put the bamboo slips on the small table next to Bai Qingyan where the teacups were temporarily placed, and looked at the old wife of the patriarch who was standing awkwardly in the courtyard: "When the subordinates send people to move things, the patriarch His wife stopped him in every possible way, claiming that it was their own property and no one was allowed to touch it, and the subordinates had no choice but to...offend the patriarch's wife, hold her down, and ask the princess to forgive her."
Bai Qingyan didn't look at the bamboo slips, and tapped his fingers on the small table: "The patriarch... really wasted my grandfather's trust!"
The patriarch stood there for a long while unable to open his mouth to speak, the things had already been searched out from their storeroom, he said more is just sophistry, after a long time he said: "I really never thought that Qiyun would do such a shameful thing. As for the clan affairs, as the father of Qiyun... I can hardly shirk my responsibility, and dare not accept the position of patriarch again."
The bald-headed author: I begged for a monthly ticket hoarsely...
