"Xiaolang of the Li family, are you really going to be so stubborn?" The old patriarch became angry from embarrassment.

"You guys forced someone to do this!" Li Wangyou didn't back down at all, he was so tired of clans and clans now.

It's just a greedy blood-sucking leech lying on his Li family. My dead ghost father has been sucked by them all his life, and now he still wants to use himself to achieve their goals.

Looking at the silent little girl Pei Lan, Li Wangyou felt even more heartbroken.

In the past few days, he has regarded this little girl who took good care of him as his younger sister, but he was beaten like this by this damn old guy!

Uncle can bear it, but neither can aunt!

"Okay, okay, if that's the case, then don't blame me for not thinking of love, I will remove you from the genealogy of the Li clan in Hu County!" The old patriarch shouted sternly.

As soon as he said this, everyone including Wang You were shocked.

Li Heng was even more flustered, and fell to his knees: "Patriarch, my husband didn't mean that, it can't be done!"

"Li Heng, why are you getting up and kneeling on him? If you are removed, you will be removed, what a big deal?" Li Wangyou didn't care, and stretched out his hand to pull the old housekeeper to stand up.

As a modern person, Li Wangyou has no feelings for the clan, nor does he have a sense of belonging. It is absolutely impossible to use the clan to make him submit obediently.

But in the eyes of Tang people, the family law of the ancestors is above everything else.

Losing the protection of the clan and being removed from the clan's genealogy would be a catastrophe.

Generally speaking, only to punish the black sheep or the heinous clansman in the clan will the clan leader and the clan elder hold a meeting to remove that person from the clan.

When the old patriarch wanted to expel Li Wangyou from the family tree, Li Heng was in a mess. He never expected that things would develop into what they are today.

The little girl Pei Lan also knelt down again, and cried out: "Master Patriarch, it's all the servant's fault, it's the servant who doesn't understand the rules and speaks nonsense, don't blame my lord."

"Peilan, get up, what are you doing?" Li Wangyou was anxious, the attitude of Li Heng and Peilan made him very uncomfortable.

In his opinion, he could live a better life without these vampires, but in the eyes of Li Heng and Pei Lan, it seemed that the sky was falling.

"Lang Jun, please, please don't say a few words, and talk to the patriarch carefully, you must not leave the clan!" Li Heng cried with snot and tears.

"Li Heng, get up!" Li Wangyou was also angry, and shouted loudly: "If you still recognize me as your lord, get up for me! They can do whatever they want, today I will leave the words here, I, Li Wangyou, have retired from this marriage!"

"Okay, okay, since the young man of the Li family doesn't care about clan ties, the old man has nothing to say. I will hold a clan meeting tomorrow to remove your clan status! Don't regret it!" said the old patriarch in a cold tone.

"up to you."

"Hmph, let's go!" The old patriarch stood up, greeted everyone and was about to leave, but was stopped by a patriarch.

The clan elder looked greedily at the gold ingots in the wooden box on the table in front of Wang You, and said, "Patriarch, Li Zhou was supported by my clan with money and grain. Nothing to do with it, so many years of support from the clan, shouldn't it be returned to the clan first?"

As soon as these words came out, both Li Wangyou and Li Heng's expressions changed.

010 Clan Removal

Li Wangyou didn't know how much support and care his dead ghost father received from the clan when he was young, but the Li clan in Hu County was just a small clan living in Dingzhou Village back then.

How much help can such a small clan provide to Li Zhou?

Since the establishment of Li Tang, Li Zhou was entrusted with important tasks by Li Yuan's trust, and the Li family of this Hu County moved from Dingzhou Village to Hu County County, becoming a famous family in Hu County.

The family property has also changed from dozens of acres of barren land to thousands of acres of fertile land, all of which were obtained by lying on Li Zhou's body and sucking blood.

You know, Hu County is on Guanzhong Road!The most quintessential area of ​​Datang.

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, agriculture was severely damaged after the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty. In order to recuperate, the Tang Dynasty implemented the land equalization system.

That is to say, the state distributes the land. The middle-aged men and middle-aged men above each receive [-] mu of land and [-] mu of Yongye land. Women, tribals, and slaves are not allowed to share land. Among them, Yongye land is not allowed to be bought or sold.

Guanzhong Road, where Hu County is located, has a large population, and there is not so much land for granting land. In fact, most private households have only [-] mu of land granting.

In the Li family of Hu County, there are only a few dozen people who can be granted land, and the land allocated to them is private land, not public property of the clan.

At present, the price of fertile land in Hu County has reached the high price of two per mu, and the price of a thousand mu of fertile land is about 200 million yuan. Apart from asking Li Zhou for it, where else can it come from?

And these clan elders forced Li Zhou to borrow money from the company, and he was still not satisfied with a lot of usury, so he actually wanted to make the last bit of the Li family's property.

This made Li Wangyou and Li Heng angry, and even Wang You, who was beside him, felt that the Li clan in Hu County was too ugly.

Li Wangyou laughed angrily at the clan elder's shameless words, and asked sarcastically, "Then according to Grandfather, how much do we need from the Li family to return to the clan?"

"Li Zhou is deeply favored by my Li family. If he is not surnamed Li, he is not a clan member. Why did the Supreme Emperor let him supervise Hu County? This is my Li family's shadow! Since your family will have nothing to do with our Hu County Li family in the future , shouldn’t all of these be returned to the clan?”

The shameless words of this patriarch won the nods of approval from other patriarchs and old patriarchs.

"It's reasonable to say that Li Zhou's success today is all due to his clan status, and it is human nature to return to the clan."

"That's right, what you said is justified. What you got because of my Li clan must be returned to the clan!"

"Li Zhou's Yongye Field, this house, and slaves must be returned to the clan!"

Li Wangyou's face turned livid, shameless people are indeed invincible!

The old patriarch coughed lightly: "Okay, Li Zhou is dead after all. For the sake of the young man of the Li family, this house is fine. But Li Zhou's [-]-acre Yongye farmland should indeed be returned to him. Clan, as for those slaves, the clan suffers a bit, so let's use these gold to pay for it."

The [-]-acre permanent land of the Li family was granted by Li Zhou when he was an official. These permanent lands can be bought, sold and transferred.

In fact, the decision to expel Li Wangyou from the clan was a decision that had been discussed by the head of the Li clan in this Hu county.

There are two reasons. One is that the Li clan in Huxian County will be dragged by Li Zhou and angered by Li Er; the other is that the Li family's huge debt of 200 million yuan will not be repaid, and finally rely on the clan to help him pay off the debt.

If the relationship between Li Wangyou and the Taiyuan Wang family remains the same, then they are willing to wait and see.

After all, the Wang family of Taiyuan had great influence in the Tang Dynasty, and no one knew whether Li Wangyou would get help from the Wang family of Taiyuan after getting married, so that Xianyu would turn around.

Now that Li Wangyou was killed and wanted to divorce the Taiyuan Wang family, the elders of the Li clan in Hu County would naturally not allow Li Wangyou to stay in the clan, so as not to cause trouble to the upper body.

Li Heng was trembling with anger at the words of the elders. This was to plunder the last hope of their Li family.

With no land, no money, and huge debts, he left an empty house and a group of slaves to Li Wangyou, such a vicious clan elder!

Li Wangyou clenched his fists tightly with both hands, using such force that his nails were embedded in the skin.

"But if I offer the field and the gold, I'll have nothing to do with it in the future?" He took a deep breath and said coldly with a livid face.

"Lang Jun, this can't be done!" Li Heng jumped anxiously when he heard this, trying to stop Li Wangyou.

Li Wangyou waved his hand at him, and asked again: "But from now on, my Li family will have nothing to do with the Li clan in Hu County?"

His words made several clan elders look at each other, unable to understand what Li Wangyou meant, but the old patriarch's eyes lit up: "Yes, as long as you return the fertile land and gold to the clan, the clan will have nothing to do with your Li family from now on."

"Words are useless, write a document!" Li Wangyou said, pointing to the pen and ink on the desks beside him.
