"If you are reduced to relying on outsiders as a backer, what is the difference between that and a puppet? You are selling out the interests of the family!"
Behind Mrs. Xiahou, a kind of clansman of the direct lineage also glared at her.
It's just that their strength is too weak, and they can't even attract the attention of other tribesmen.
Looking at the appearance of those elders, it is obvious that they have colluded with outsiders a long time ago, and they came here to go straight to Xia Houli's inheritance.
"Puppets? You mean who wants you to be puppets?"
A domineering voice suddenly sounded in everyone's ears.
The voice was loud, like thunder, and everyone's eardrums hurt.
"My lord, you are here!"
Xia Houyan led a group of elders and hurried forward to greet him.
The heads of several branch families all greeted them with flattering smiles on their faces.
Many clansmen present were whispering to each other, but no one stopped them.
All decisions are made by the elders and the heads of the branches.
They are the decision-makers of the family. Ordinary clansmen can only watch the family leaders have differences, but there is nothing they can do.
A general in heavy armor came out surrounded by the crowd.
After a few people saw the armor, their eyelids jumped wildly, and expressions of horror appeared on their faces.
It was a set of black steel heavy armor, with a layer of patches on the heart guard, with tiger and leopard patterns drawn on it. The military commander stepped on military boots, and his figure was as burly as a human bear. As he strode forward, every step would cause a huge earthquake to the ground.
"It's actually a third-rank commander!"
"I remember, our Marquis is only the commander of the third rank, right?"
Several clansmen from the Xiahou Mansion whispered to each other, with expressions of panic on their faces.
Generals who have reached this level are quite powerful in the court and in the army!
Now, such a strong man actually came to Xiahou Mansion, I don't know if it is a blessing or a curse.
"Let me introduce, this is the Marquis of Changling! My Xiahou family will be a vassal of the Marquis of Changling from now on, and I will be able to establish a relationship with the top family of the imperial capital from now on!"
Xia Houyan introduced with pride.
Marquis of Changling!
Hearing this title, Mrs. Xiahou's body trembled slightly, and the surrounding maids quickly stepped forward to help her, which allowed her to stand still a little.
Today's Marquis of Changling is named Yan Xin!
He came from the Yan family in the imperial capital!
The Yan family, as the family with the least sense of presence among the eight great families in the imperial capital, has rarely appeared in the eyes of everyone.
However, it cannot be underestimated because of this. In fact, the Yan family has considerable resources, mainly controlling water sources, medicine and other industries, and almost monopolizing more than half of the medical resources in the imperial capital.
Moreover, the source of water is an important source of income for the Yan family.
Whether it is a monk or an ordinary person, water is inseparable.
And in the imperial capital, countless spiritual springs belong to the Yan family.
The Xiahou family has only produced one Xiahouli in many years, and it was only then that they became the Dijing family from a small place.
However, even so, the Xiahou family is only a small family, and it cannot be compared with a behemoth like the Yan family.
"What's going on? Are things ready!" Yan Xin said in a deep voice.
Xia Houyan hurriedly said: "Master Hou, we were supposed to bring the things out to you. Who would have thought that Xia Houli's wife would block all the inheritance and seal all the inheritance in the coffin. We were plotted against and injured because of it when we approached just now!"
Another elder stepped forward: "Your Majesty, don't worry, we will bring the things out and present them to you!"
