As soon as the fifth elder opened his mouth, a series of questions were thrown out.
It can be seen how impatient he is at this moment.
His confidant was also very powerful. He was not knocked unconscious even though he was bombarded with so many questions. He answered the fifth elder's questions in a clear and logical manner.
"Returning to the fifth elder, the second girl has returned and is currently in charge of Li Chengru's house in the city. There are also a large number of people gathered at Li Chengru's house, all of whom are parents who have lost their children."
"The second girl and Mr. Xie came back empty-handed, and they didn't save a single child."
"The parents who had lost their children waited all night, but when they saw that the second girl had not rescued their children, they all cried like they were crying. Their cries could tear down the roof."
"When my subordinates left, the parents who had lost their children were crying and scolding the second girl for not counting her words, being a liar, and having no ability... Restlessness is definitely inevitable."
The first three questions were answered by the confidant with real answers, but the last question was the answer created by the confidant using his own imagination.
But the confidant didn’t think there was anything wrong with the answer he created.
The second girl had already spread the word yesterday, promising those parents who had lost their children that she would definitely be able to help them rescue their children. A group of parents had been looking forward to it all night, but in the end, not to mention that the children were rescued.
The second girl didn't even bring back any of the children's clothes. It would be strange if they weren't angry.
So, regarding the last question, I know the answer with my toes, so there is no need to verify it with my own eyes.
The Fifth Elder, who had also been waiting nervously all night, heard the news brought back by his confidant. The tension he had been tense all night relaxed instantly. He stroked his palms and laughed and said: "Okay, okay, hahaha!"
Seeing this, the confidant rolled his eyes, bent down and complimented: "Congratulations to the master of the family, congratulations to the master of the family."
Now the fifth elder was even happier.
Master of the house.
Listen, what a moving word!
That was the position he had been waiting for for so many years!
God is merciful, and now he has got his wish!
The fifth elder was so complimented by the word "Master" that he felt light-headed. He felt like he was stepping on a gust of wind under his feet. He felt that as long as he patted his arm, he would be able to soar straight up into the Nine Heavens Cauldron.
However, you still have to have some face-saving skills, and you can't be too proud, as if he has no taste.
Thinking of this, the fifth elder suppressed the excitement in his heart, put on a straight face, and scolded his confidant in a serious manner: "There are no rules, don't scream nonsense. If the head of the house doesn't call him head, call him elder."
Although the words were scolding, there was no hint of scolding in his tone, and the smile on his brows and corners of his eyes was even more difficult to hide.
The confidant has been with the fifth elder for decades, and he knows very well what kind of person the master he serves is.
Therefore, even if he was scolded by the fifth elder at this moment, the confidant's face did not show any fear. Instead, he said with a smile: "The lesson taught by the family leader is that I know that I have made a mistake. I will definitely change it. Please forgive me.
Let’s be small this time.”
He said that he would correct his mistakes if he knew they were wrong, but the last person to speak was the head of the family. The fifth elder didn't seem to hear him this time, and just nodded and said "hmm".
At this moment, a young man wearing the uniform of a Shen family servant hurriedly ran towards us. Before he could reach him, he started shouting from a dozen steps away: "Fifth Elder, it's bad, something happened. The First Elder and the others
Please come over quickly!"
Did the common people knock on the door so quickly?!
The Fifth Elder had actually guessed what had happened. He was very happy in his heart, but his face remained calm. He frowned and said to the young boy: "What do you look like when you are yelling...what happened?"
The boy came running all the way from the front door. Sweat dripped down his forehead. He didn't bother to wipe it off at this time and said hurriedly: "It's the second girl..."
"Second Miss?" The Fifth Elder deliberately wanted to delay the time, because the longer the time was delayed, the greater the anger of the people would ferment, so he deliberately interrupted the servant and asked, "What's the matter with Second Miss?
Didn’t the second girl save those children who were kidnapped by evil spirits? What happened? "
The boy originally planned to finish his words in one breath, but he was interrupted by the fifth elder before he opened his mouth. He couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied. He thought to himself, wasn't this what I was talking about? If you hadn't interrupted, I would have finished my words.
.
However, the young man spoke softly and did not dare to express any complaints he had in his heart. However, he did not want to say anything more and honestly conveyed the message: "I don't know what happened to the second girl. I just saw blood on the second girl's body and there was blood behind her."
Following a large group of angry people, the elder asked the younger to ask the elders to go to the front door."
There is blood on the body.
Behind him were a group of angry people.
It seems that the dead girl really got into trouble this time. She was escorted by the common people to come to question her.
The Fifth Elder's hands behind his back were so excited that they were almost convulsing. He realized that the time was running out, so he stopped delaying and strode towards the front door immediately.
At this time, the square in front of the Shen family mansion was already densely packed with people, all of whom looked angry.
The skirt of Shen Qiqi's chest was covered with blood. At this time, her face was tense and her brows were furrowed without saying a word.
The elders of the Shen family were talking with Li Chengru, the city steward.
The fifth elder saw this situation in his eyes from a distance and couldn't help but curl his lips proudly.
Look, what's the use of so many elders? The people are really angry and no one can suppress them. He, the fifth elder, has to personally come forward to be effective.
After all, during this period of time, the people were deeply persecuted by evil spirits, and it was him, the fifth elder, who was always at the forefront to protect the people.
To put it bluntly, I am afraid that in the minds of the people now, he, the fifth elder, is more important than the head of the family, Shen Mingyu.
And all of this is due to his outstanding performance during this period.
If you think about it this way, he really needs to thank that little bitch Shen Ning'er. If that little bitch hadn't sent so many evil spirits for him to kill, how could he have won the favor of the people so much.
The fifth elder felt proud and paused for a moment to calm down his excitement. Then he strode over and said loudly: "Fellows and fellow villagers, I know that everyone is sad when this kind of thing happens.
Very angry, I am just as angry and sad as you are, but!"
He used some spiritual power when he spoke, and his voice spread like waves. Not only the elders of the Shen family and the people standing at the front of the square could hear clearly, but also the people standing at the back of the square.
They could all be heard clearly.
The crowd, which was as noisy as a vegetable market before, suddenly became quiet.
When the fifth elder saw that he had suppressed the anger of the people with just a few words, he felt more and more proud. The elder called him "Lao Wu" several times, but he pretended not to hear and jumped over several clan elders and stood at the front.
, facing everyone, loudly said: "But it's useless to be angry and sad. Since the matter has happened, you have to find a way to solve it, don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation!"
