Chapter 249 The death of the master

But Yu Ren was quite calm. He knew that Xu Xinsu's death meant that there would be a big change within the Xu group. And what he was most worried about was not these. What he was most worried about was whether the court would take the opportunity to take advantage of the situation and suppress the Xu family.

If the court took action to suppress them at this time, it would be like treating Li Ying more than a year ago. Then it would be hard to say what the fate of the Xu group would be.

So, when Yu Ren heard the news, the first thing he asked was, "Does there be any abnormal movements in the court?"

Xu Qian shook her head.

"Let's go, go back to the island immediately." Yu Ren said, then took Xu Qian's hand and ran out.

When Yu Ren arrived at Nansha Island, there was a tragedy on Nansha Island. Everyone gathered around Xu Xinsu's yard and refused to leave. There were thousands of men, women, young and old.

When he walked into the courtyard where Xu Xinsu lived, a mourning hall had been set up. There were people kneeling inside. Xu Xinsu's only son Xu Keming was kneeling in front of the mourning hall in a mourning robe. Xu Xinsu's body had been put into a coffin and was parked in the yard.

"Grandpa Yu is here, let me give in," a maid behind Xu Qian called.

When everyone heard this, they all gave way to Yu Ren.

Yu Ren came to the mourning hall, incense Xu Xinsu, and kowtowed three times seriously. Xu Keming silently returned the gift to Yu Ren without saying a word.

Yu Ren stood up to comfort Xu Keming a few words, then turned around and looked at everyone. Everyone gathered up, looking at him with helpless eyes, not only sadness and anxiety in these eyes.

"Grandpa Yu, the boss is gone. What should we do in the future?" someone asked.

This is also the most concerned issue that most people are at this time. These people have always been habitually obeying Xu Xinsu's arrangements. They all know that although they have accepted the court's reunion, none of the officials in the court have truly regarded them as their own people and are always guarding against them at all times.

When Xu Xinsu was there, Xu Xinsu had dealt with these officials and had been peaceful all the time. Now, Xu Xinsu suddenly died, and no one could understand what the court would do to them.

"Don't worry, everyone. Although the boss has left, there is still a young master who stays. We can jointly serve Keming as our new boss. I believe that under the leadership of Keming, our Xu family will definitely overcome all kinds of difficulties and usher in new glory."

Xu Keming, who was standing beside him, seemed surprised to hear Yu Ren's words. He looked at Yu Ren in surprise, opened his mouth wide, but couldn't say a word.

At this time, Huang Ji'an, who was standing beside him, suddenly spoke. "This is probably inappropriate. The boss had a last word before his death, and asked us to serve you as the boss in the future and take charge of all the affairs of the Xu family."

After hearing this, the people around them all responded, "Yes, I should regard Mr. Yu as the leader!...We are all willing to listen to Mr. Yu's command!"

At this moment, a man suddenly broke in from outside, "I object. The Xu family is the foundation that the boss has built for decades. How can he hand over to outsiders like this? Since the boss has gone now, the position of the boss will naturally be held by his son Keming. Didn't Mr. Yu say just now that Keming should be allowed to be the boss?"

Everyone looked at the news and saw that the person coming was nothing but Xu Keming's uncle and Liu Long, the original No. 3 character of the Xu family.

"However, believing Mr. Yu as the chief of the boss is the last words before his death. Many brothers present heard this." Huang Ji'an shouted.

Liu Long said angrily, "Is this last words true or not? We don't know. It's just that you guys say this, it's not worth trusting. If the boss really wants to pass the throne on Yu Ren, why don't he say this to us before?"

Huang Ji'an was not giving in. "I'm just talking, the boss is in his prime, how could he think that he would suddenly go? You just don't believe in our brothers?"

As soon as Huang Ji'an finished speaking, a person stood up behind him. This person was Xu Xinsu's confidant for many years and his captain of the guards. His name was Yang Changqing. Yang Changqing had a considerable influence in the Xu family because he followed Xu Xinsu since he was a child. Naturally, behind him was his big group of brothers.

At this time, Yang Changqing bandaged his right hand, obviously injured, but his momentum did not diminish at all. As soon as he stood up, he stared at Liu Long with his big eyes. "Is Liu San the head of the family so much that he trusts us brothers?"

Liu Long knew that Yang Changqing was also a fierce man in the Xu family. Although his position seemed not high, he was the most trusted by Xu Xinsu because of his special identity, and most people were unwilling to offend him.

But Liu Long also knew that it was a time to never retreat. As soon as he retreated, the position of the boss would be returned to Yu Ren. This was something he could not accept. Therefore, Liu Long refused to give in. Seeing this, the brothers who came with him stood behind Liu Long and expressed their support. The number of people was not inferior to the brothers behind Yang Changqing.

"I don't care who the boss said to him. Anyway, I didn't believe what the boss said without hearing him with my own ears. I would be the first to dissatisfied with Yu Ren as the boss."

After hearing this, the brothers behind him shouted together, "Yes, don't agree, don't agree."

Yang Changqing and Huang Ji'an were also reluctant to give in, and some people even pressed their hands on the hilt of the knife. "Don't accept it? What do you want to do if you don't accept it? You don't even respect the boss's last words. What do you want to do? Do you want to rebel?"

Liu Long was not showing weakness, and reached out and pulled out his waist knife, "If you rebel, you will rebel! Anyway, no matter what you say, I, Liu Long, just don't regard Yu Ren as the boss!"

When Yang Changqing and others saw Liu Long draw their swords, they all pulled out their swords. For a moment, everyone showed their weapons.

Yu Ren saw that the two sides became more and more quarrels, and they were about to fight, but Xu Keming still knelt there without saying a word and looked at everyone. Although he seemed very anxious, he seemed to have no way out.

"Okay, okay. Don't argue anymore. Now the boss's body is not cold, but we are fighting for a seat. How can we get the boss? At present, the most important thing is to first figure out who is the person who assassinated the boss, who is the mastermind behind this, and what is the motive?

Huang Ji'an, tell us how the boss was assassinated!"

Liu Long did not object to Yu Ren's words.

Huang Ji'an glared at Liu Long, and Yang Changqing and others who were standing behind him all took their swords back after hearing Yu Ren's words.

On Liu Long's side, when Liu Long heard Yu Ren say this, he saw Yang Changqing and the others put away the knife first, so he waved his hand behind him. So everyone on this side also put away the knife.

Only then did Huang Ji'an tell everyone the reasons for the matter.

It turned out that just five days ago, Xu Xinsu suddenly received a letter sent by someone from Xiong Wencan. The letter said that the new emperor ascended the throne and promoted Xu Xinsu to the gang general, and asked him to go to Songjiang Prefecture to receive the order immediately.

Xu Xinsu was very surprised. He didn't know why the court suddenly wanted to increase his post. But then he thought that most new emperors would increase their posts to some people ascend to the throne. This is an old example, and it is not surprising, but for some reason it was his turn this time.

Xu Xinsu is a careful person. In case of precaution, before leaving Nansha, he specially arranged his men to prepare for precautions on the island to prevent someone from attacking Nansha Island when he left.

Xu Xinsu has always been wary of the court. Therefore, although Yu Ren is enthusiastic about state affairs and has a passion for devoted himself to the country, he is never interested. He has always been interested in his own business, and this is the case before the recruitment, and it is still the case after the recruitment.

As for those politics, he was not interested in it at all, and he was not even very interested in being an official.

But now it is the emperor's imperial edict, so he naturally has to accept it.

So Xu Xinsu set off with his three personal guards and a team of fifty-man guards, and brought Huang Ji'an with him. Because Xu Xinsu thought that Huang Ji'an was flexible and sophisticated and could help him deal with those old foxes in the officialdom.

The city of Songjiang Prefecture is as peaceful as usual. Although the emperor changed twice within two months and there have been huge changes in the court, the lives of the people have not yet been affected in any way.

After Xu Xinsu took his guard into the city, she did not go to the government office, but went directly to the Qingshun Inn where the special envoy was staying.
