In the following two days, a massive internal conflict within the Tang Family left everyone dazzled.
Old Master Tang was detained in the county government jail. Tang Five persuaded Grandmaster Tang San and promised numerous benefits to buy off the likes of Grandmaster Tang Er, and more than half of the Tang family's elders were swayed.
Old Master Tang's eldest son was away trading grain in the Two Lakes and had not returned, leaving only his eldest grandson, Tang Qi. Unfortunately, Tang Qi, being in his twenties, was too young and impulsive, and before he could say much, Grandmaster Tang suppressed him thoroughly.
On the morning of the third day, at the Tang Family Ancestral Hall, representatives from each branch of the Tang Family came out to vote. Grandmaster Tang obtained eighty percent of the votes, securing with absolute advantage the position of the new Family Head.
