"Oh? Is the patriarch busy? " Tu Huaiyu smiled as he looked at the Patriarch of the Wang Clan who was blocking his path. "I've used up all my tricks, I want to see what you've done."

The head of the Wang family chuckled as he waved the stack of land deeds in front of Tu Jiaya. At the same time, he said, "I'm afraid you're not justified in leaving after showing off your might in my Wang family."

"It is not justifiable, so what? Old master, what are you planning to do? Beat me up? It would probably be too much to beat an official of the imperial government! " Tu Pingyu's eyes narrowed, as if he didn't fear the threat of the Wang Clan's Patriarch at all.

"No, no, no. I don't dare to have the slightest bit of disrespect for the officials of the Great Wei Empire!" The leader of the Wang family slightly nodded his head, and said to Tu Yidao in a gentle voice, "Since you've wronged my Pu family by coming here, I must get something back!"

"For what?" Tu Huaiyu's eyes half closed as she deeply looked at the Patriarch of the Wang Clan.

"This is our Wang family's land deed." The head of the Wang family handed the stack of yellow paper over to the official, then he said, "The adults look good, are these deeds exactly the same as the deeds given by the Tu family?!"

This was too much for these officials. If two families were to fight, these little ghosts would be the one to suffer.

After some serious comparison, the title deed was exactly the same as the one given by the Tu Clan. The only difference was that the person who agreed to the deed was different.

It was normal for people to cause trouble with the land deeds given by the previous generation. Normally, these kind of things could be solved with money, but once it involved the battle between these two aristocratic families, this matter wouldn't be so simple!

"Master, do you feel anything wrong?" He had long since known that the Tu Family would make trouble, and he had already prepared an explanation. He only wanted to see how he would argue with Tu Pingyu.

The official looked at the unpolished jade on his face, lowered his head, and said in a low voice to the leader of the Wang family, "Everything is fine, it's just that this land deed will be split sooner or later. The Tu family gave it a new one, you gave it to the previous one."

"Everything has to be done first come first served, my lord, what do you say?" The head of the Wang Clan bent his waist and started to talk reason.

"That's right, the Old Master is right, but this land deed was given to you by Gu Ci Shi, if you tell him about first come first served, that won't do, he will tell you about the punishment before and after punishment! Are you right? " He slowly said this with his hands behind his back and his body straightened.

Yes, everything will be done first come first served, but I have exchanged all these for real money. If you really want to talk about this, you can tell Guten Shi that it's useless to tell me anything, so you can only chuckle at him.

He could only resolve this issue later. He continued, "Since it's the Gouzhi, then there's no other way. In a little while, I'll ask the Gouzhi again, what exactly happened?"

Since they had already begun their counterattack, the Wang Clan's offensive would not end here. The Wang Clan's Clan Head continued, "My Lord, I remember that the Great Wei Clan has issued a law of etiquette!"

The sudden question from the head of the Wang family confused the officials who followed him. They nodded and quickly replied, "Yes, old man Wang's memory is really good!"

"Can a violation be considered a criminal offense?" The Patriarch of Wang Clan looked at the unpolished jade and suddenly asked.

Before the officials could reply, Tu Fangyu answered first, "It's fine, breaking the etiquette is also a violation of the Great Wei Criminal Law!"

"Then it would be a breach of etiquette to violate Ding You?" The Wang family's patriarch was not asking for respect. He was trying to make things difficult for the unpolished jade. What happened just now was just a small fight. Now was the time for a true counterattack!

He wanted to use etiquette to suppress the application of unpolished jade. He did not believe that during this period of time where unpolished jade was in Ding You, nothing had happened!

Rumors had it that unpolished jade was the richest man in Xuzhou, how could he not break the rules?

Knowing the intentions of the Wang Clan's Patriarch, Tu Pingyu burst out into laughter. His thoughts were correct; the Wang Clan would indeed seize him for this small matter. Since he knew the Wang Clan would start from this aspect, how could he not have made any preparations?

Tu Huanyu sneered, and asked in a low voice, "Is it me that the Patriarch of the Wang Clan said that the person who violated the rules was me?"

The head of the Wang family quickly waved his hand and said, "No, no, no. I didn't say Mister Tu. I only said those people who violated the rules, those people were people who violated the law. I didn't say anything about you, sir!"

He said that he did not know about the painting of unpolished jade, but his sharp eyes did not relax even for a moment. From his eyes, one could tell who he was talking about.

"Patriarch, if you don't tell me, then I know that you must have scolded me!" Tu Yuan Yu laughed, muttering to herself, "There are always people outside saying that I am the wealthiest person in Xuzhou, but how could I, who is still in Ding You, be the wealthiest? This is the public opinion in the outside world, saying that the wealthiest person is my daughter, but I have never touched any of the Tu Family's properties!"

He continued to explain, "Speaking of Ding You, for three years, I ate and slept in front of my parents' grave. I also did it, I ate and slept on the green hill, I didn't violate any rules."

"But there are a few other things. Mr. Tu, you better not tell me that you did not commit any crime!" Since Tu Huanyu wanted to drag this matter out, the Wang Clan's patriarch didn't hide anything and directly asked, "I've heard that Mister Tu has participated in some royal ball!"

Tu Huanyu squinted his eyes and waved his hand, hurriedly saying, "Patriarch, please don't listen to these villains. I didn't do anything they said!"

"During the period of worry, alcohol must not be drunk, and all recreational activities must be stopped. Even though it's hard for me to stop, I've already stopped. It's been a long time since I've been to a royal ball, so I want to try the taste of the wine, but I can't! " Then, he quickly walked in front of the Patriarch of the Wang Family, and said, "Ding You cannot take a bath, do not shave your head, and do not change your clothes. Look, Patriarch, are my clothes all dirty?"

He could not help covering his nose as he waved his hand in front of his face. Holding back his disgust, he said, "I think everyone in Peng City knows about Mister Tu's filial piety, and some people say that you are the richest person in the world. I don't believe them at the start, but more and more people are saying those things, until I have no choice but to believe them.

Seeing that the leader of the Wang family had backed down, Tu Buyu withdrew his pitiful appearance and said, feeling wronged, "Patriarch, you have to keep your eyes open. Some things are believable and some are not. When the time comes, you can't be fooled like this!"
