Chapter 262
The Scapegoat
The great elder of the Chu family stroked his gray beard and said in a deep voice.
“At the moment, it’s not appropriate to break skin with the Ye family. We may be stronger than the previous Chu family, but it doesn’t mean we can match the Ye family.
Before we find the most suitable time, let’s not act rashly for the time being. ”
The meaning of the Great Elder is already obvious, don’t think about making enemies of the Ye family, at least not now.
The other elders were also discussing this matter.
“The Great Elder is right. We are currently not strong enough, and we need to be more cautious.”
“Then what should we do now? The Patriarch said just now that he wanted to push a scapegoat. Who should this scapegoat find?”
“It… depends on what the Great Elder thinks.”
“I don’t know who will become this unlucky ghost.”
…
These elders all agree with the elder of the Great Elder, and they are very curious about what to do next.
Seeing that everyone agreed to not conflict with the Ye family for the time being, Chu Xiao felt a little regretful in his heart.
He really wanted to break arms with the Ye family, but the elders in the family didn’t allow it.
At this time, the Great Elder suddenly gave a suggestion.
“Scapegoat… In my opinion, use Chuhe.”
Quite a few people don’t seem to know the name Chuhe, and a trace of confusion flashed in their eyes.
As the head of the family, Chu Xiao is still clear about this name.
The other party is just an orphan in the family. His parents died early, and now he is an outstanding child in the family.
Chu Xiao knew a little about why the Great Elder chose Chuhe.
The Grand Elder’s grandson didn’t get along with Chu He. It seemed that there was nothing wrong with the Great Elder taking this opportunity to send Chu He as a scapegoat.
After all, one is his grandson, and the other is just an orphan in the family.
Sacrificing an orphan can bring the stability of the family, and at the same time solve the troubles of the grandson. It’s the best of both worlds.
Chu Xiao didn’t have too many thoughts in his mind. He was just a scapegoat anyway. It didn’t matter who he chose, as long as he didn’t choose his own child.
“Yes, what do you think, elders?”
Nodding slightly, Chu Xiao expressed his opinion.
The rest of the elders, seeing that the First Elder and the Patriarch had already agreed, naturally had no objections.
“Seconded!”
“Seconded!”
…
Everyone agreed that this young man named Chu He was somehow used as a scapegoat.
Seeing that everyone had agreed to the plan, Chu Xiao stood up.
“Now that it’s been decided, let’sThe platoon immediately arrested Chuhe, and he must not be allowed to escape.
At the same time, immediately arrange for someone to meet the Ye family envoy, and you must not neglect it. ”
After finishing the order, this family meeting ended.
At this time, in the martial arts training hall of the Chu family.
A thin figure was cultivating desperately in the martial arts hall.
He… is Chuhe.
It seems that he is in his twenties, and he is a slightly outstanding talent among the younger generation in the family.
She usually works very hard, but she is like a little transparent in the crowd, and no one cares.
He never chooses to be in the limelight, because he knows that he is not qualified to be in the limelight.
He has nothing to rely on in the family, and the only person he can rely on is himself.
It’s not something he can do to show off, but even so, there are still people who can notice him, and they don’t want to trouble him.
That person is the grandson of the Great Elder.
Chuhe probably doesn’t know that he has become the family’s scapegoat.
Just as he was seriously practicing, a small figure ran into the martial arts hall and shouted at him.
“Chu River! Chu River!”
This is a delicate girl with exquisite eyebrows and eyes, her eyes are like a pool of clear water, her skin is more than snow, she looks very cute.
Hearing the voice, Chuhe stopped his cultivation, and came to the girl in two or three steps.
“Xian’er, what’s the matter?”
The person who came was Chu Xian’er, the youngest daughter of the Patriarch Chu Xiao.
At this moment, Chu Xian’er did not have the happy look of the past at all, but stared at Chuhe very seriously.
“Chuhe! Run quickly! Run as far as you can, and never come back!”
While talking, Chu Xian’er wanted to push Chuhe away.
As the person involved, Chu He was suddenly a little confused, not quite understanding what was going on.
Why do you want to drive yourself away out of nowhere?
“Xian’er, what are you talking about? This is the Chu family, where do you want me to go?
And… why should I run? I train hard here every day to make myself stronger, why run?
Why don’t I understand what you said today? ”
Touching his forehead in confusion, Chu He’s eyes were blank.
Hearing this, Chu Xian’er hurriedly explained.
“Chuhe, do you know that you are now a scapegoat, and all the elders of the family have agreed to arrest you and confess your guilt.
If you don’t run now, you won’t be able to run away. If you run away now, I’m afraid you still have a chance.
Hurry up and leave, never come back! ”
Chu He, who was still at a loss at first, finally understood what was going on after hearing these words.
After working on it for a long time, it turned out that this was the case.
But why should I be the scapegoat for no reason? What the hell is going on here?
Now he can’t figure it out.
But looking at the current situation, it may not be easy to figure out this matter. You have to leave the summer vacation first, and I’m afraid you won’t be able to leave if it’s later.
“Thank you, Xian’er, I’ll take a step first, don’t worry, I will definitely be back!”
As soon as the voice fell, Chuhe had already run far away.
Seeing the back of Chuhe gradually disappearing into the distance, Chu Xian’er secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
In her eyes, Chuhe has always been a very hardworking person with a kind heart.
She also has a certain affection for Chuhe, plus Chuhe is lonely and helpless, so she doesn’t want Chuhe to be used as a scapegoat for no reason.
“Chuhe, I hope you can escape, but don’t let anything happen to you.”
With her right hand tightly clenched on her chest, Chu Xian’er could only hope that Chu He could escape by herself.
All she can do is to tip off the news, there is no way to give so much help.
The order to arrest Chuhe should have been issued by now. Even if she is the youngest daughter of the Patriarch, she can’t change it.
Chu He, who fled the martial arts hall in a hurry, ran back to his residence in a hurry, and quickly packed up the only belongings he had.
He has been hanging around the Chu family since he was a child, and he is very clear about the terrain.
After climbing over the courtyard wall, he found a very hidden path and escaped.
As soon as he left, his yard was rudely opened on his back, and a group of Chu family broke into his room.
But it’s a pity that the Chu family didn’t find him and found nothing.
Chuhe… disappeared? !
