Gong Chengjue came too late, but when he arrived, except for the head of the Gong family, Gong Chengsi also sat down here early in the room.

Gong Chengjue glanced at his elder brother and barely bowed to the head of the family: "What's wrong with my father asking me for? If it's just a trivial matter, then I'll forgive me for being rude and leave first. After all, there are many things in the mansion that I need to solve."

"You go and solve it?" Gong Chengsi mocked her face, "Are you going to solve the problem or cause trouble to our Gong family? Your solution is to make the Gong family turmoil?"

Gong Chengjue had been exhausted all night, but now he was physically and mentally exhausted, and he had no energy to deal with his elder brother's sarcasm.

"What does this mean by brother? I inherited the Huimu of the Gong family and was the future head of the family. Isn't it a matter of being in charge of the affairs of the Gong family?" Gong Chengjue asked back.

Gong Chengsi smiled, "Yes, you inherited Huimu. But this does not mean that you are suitable to be the head of the family. The trouble you caused last night, Miss Jimo sent someone to let me discipline you, this morning. She also said that if there is another next time, her lady will not only notify you."

"Second brother should understand the meaning of this?"

God knows how excited Gong Chengsi was when Hai Tingzhou came to him this morning. Because the other party’s words clearly meant to support himself in competing for the throne with Gong Chengjue!

Although he didn't know why Sang Ying wanted to help him, his resentment towards the Jimo family did not diminish at all. But if the other party took the initiative to provide help, he would be very happy to accept it.

So, just as he said goodbye to Hai Tingzhou, Gong Chengsi couldn't wait to find the head of the Gong family, and even added fuel to the fire and told the head of the same palace family last night.

The head of the Gong family then found his second son and prepared to let the brothers solve the problem themselves.

Gong Chengjue naturally understood the meaning of Gong Chengsi's words. He did not expect that Sang Ying would be so reluctant.

I thought it would be enough for her to find Jimo Qing, but unexpectedly, this man took the opportunity to win over his elder brother.

"Haha, my elder brother has found a backer for me now, it's really different from before. Judging from my elder brother's intention now, I want to compete with me for the position of head of the family?" I was too lazy to talk to Gong Chengsi, so Gong Chengjue expressed his brother's true intention in one word.

Since he had said this, Gong Chengsi naturally did not hide it. He spoke clearly: "Yes, that's what I mean. Second brother, you are lucky and have obtained the inheritance of our family, but you really lack the ability to deal with people and people. Although your elder brother does not have the ability to see through illusions, he is still good at managing these common things."

"We are brothers, I will be the head of the family. You can concentrate on your cultivation, right? You are so capable, your elder brother will not treat you badly."

Gong Chengjue just listened to the other party's plan for his own thing in a cold manner, and the head of the Gong family next to him never said a word.

If this was changed from the past, he would not have to speak, and the head of the Gong family would scold Gong Chengsi to shut up. But for some reason today, the head of the Gong family seemed to have not noticed the dispute between the two sons, and just watched them quarrel with a smile.

How could Gong Chengjue not know his father's choice at this moment? I'm afraid that the two of them had reached a consensus long before he was called.

But how could he give up what he could get: "Brother is really good at making a plan, but I am not so easy to be deceived by you. Since you insist on fighting with me, then try it. Look, who will those clan elders support?"

After saying this harsh words, Gong Chengjue shook his sleeves and left the yard.

The Gong family father and son were left behind to look at his back as he walked away, with an expression on his face unrecognizable.

"Father, aren't that Jimo Zanxing really the one who sneaked into the secret room last night?" After only the father and son were left in the house, Gong Chengsi confided his suspicion to his father.

Upon hearing this, the head of the Gong family said: "Before there is no tangible evidence, all the injured people in the mansion changed their suspicion last night. The escaped person was stared at by Cheng Jue, and you also took this opportunity to catch up with the Jimo family while staring at the young lady."

"Our Gong family must not fall because of this. If it really comes to the day of exposure, we will have to live as a price for the entire snowfield!"

It was not until this moment that the head of the family who once led the Gong family to show his true face.

Gong Chengsi looked at the viciousness in his father's eyes, and suddenly felt that neither he nor his two younger brothers had really understood the person in front of him. Yes, how could a cowardly person be able to lose all his brothers and finally ascend to the position of head of the family?

...

Overnight, the martial law was instantly ruled.

Whether in the inner city or the outer city, there are guards posting notices in lively places, saying that there are thieves who have stolen the treasures of the Gong family in the city. If someone finds something wrong, they can report to the guards, and the Gong family will give appropriate rewards.

As soon as the notice came out, the hearts of the people in the city became alive.

Many casual cultivators who were scattering their lives in the city immediately took action. The guards in the city became the most popular people among casual cultivators for a time.

This method is not completely unhealthy. Although the assassin has never been seen, Powangcheng has also used this to capture several traitors sent by other forces.

It's a pity that the assassin was never seen. Gong Chengjue gradually fell into anxiety.

He turned his eyes back to the guards in the inner city. The group of guards who had been hit by Fang Chi and Hai Tingzhou had barely swallowed some spiritual medicine. Now that he has not recovered, he can only lie in bed and live a life of scattering.

Fortunately, someone came to visit them and talked about interesting things recently.

"The assassin has not been found today?" One of them asked on his own initiative.

The tall guard who came to visit his friend sighed helplessly when he heard this: "That's right, our second young master's face became increasingly ugly. If we can't find anyone, we may not be able to take care of it!"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but complain: "What can we do about this? We almost all went through the entire Powang City. Where can the assassin be there? In my opinion, the man had long disappeared. But the second young master didn't believe it and insisted that we search everywhere."

The tall guard's friend patted his shoulder to show comfort and advised him: "You should listen to the second young master in this matter. When the second young master becomes the head of the family, you will naturally remember your good deeds."

The tall man did not dare to tell his friend the news that the eldest son had regained power, for fear of venting his unhealed body.

He barely responded twice, and then moved the topic elsewhere.

Everyone was very supportive of this, and the entire guard station was lively.

Only the corner of the Datongpu wall was always silent. The guard wrapped in a thick quilt that could not see the human face was huddled in the corner without any noise.

Seeing this, the person who was sleeping next to him asked the man with concern.

The man barely showed his eyes, responded to the care of the neighbor's bed in a muffled voice, and then he fell asleep again as if he was sleepy.

The person in the bed next to him thought he was injured, so he was so sleepy and didn't care too much.

But occasionally, a thought would appear in his head: Why did the person's eyes just now look so much like his second young master?

This thought only came out of nowhere and was quickly disbanded by the guards.
