Shopkeeper Liu was sitting in the front hall and felt a little uneasy, because he suspected that something had happened to some of the elders, but then he thought that the three elders were from the Leng family, and A Lan would not treat the elders the same way he treated himself. Besides, the elders have always been
It was all for the sake of the Leng family, so how could A-Lan be unfavorable to the elder? But shopkeeper Liu still felt that something was wrong. Why did the elder go to the Leng family for so long without any reason? Could it be that the two elders had left before they went back?
"Have the two elders mentioned where else to go?" Shopkeeper Liu asked.
The butler shook his head and said to Shopkeeper Liu: "How can we slaves know about the masters' affairs? Shopkeeper Liu might as well just sit here and drink tea and wait. I believe the masters will come back later. If they don't
When I came back, I probably went to a restaurant for dinner."
Shopkeeper Liu continued to ask: "Where has the great elder gone? I haven't seen him these days."
"The eldest elder went on business, and he should have been back long ago. However, he was delayed for some unknown reason. That's why the two elders were in a hurry to discuss with the young master." The steward said standing aside.
"So that's it. Butler, I won't delay you anymore. Go and get busy. I'll be leaving in a while." Shopkeeper Liu said.
After the butler nodded and left, he ordered his servants to bring some pastries for Shopkeeper Liu to try. Shopkeeper Liu sat in the front hall and waited for an hour. He couldn't sit still and started thinking wildly.
Did the third elder get some news and deliberately avoid seeing him? Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that he just arrived at the elder's mansion and the elder was not there?
The two elders went to the Leng family early in the morning, but when he followed A Lan back, he did not see the elder. By that time, the elder should have left the Leng family and returned to the elder's mansion. But just now the housekeeper said that the elder had left
He didn't come back after that. The most likely thing is that Ah Lan had already told the elders about him.
Thinking of this, Shopkeeper Liu immediately got up and went to his old courtyard. No one lived in the previous courtyard, but the house was still clean. Thinking that the elder should be in the main courtyard, he went to the main courtyard to look for the elder. But when he arrived at the main courtyard,
Behind the courtyard, there was not even a servant. There was no sign of the elder in the main courtyard at all. A servant happened to meet Shopkeeper Liu and asked: "Shopkeeper, what can I do for you?"
"I want to find an elder, but I don't know if it's convenient now?" Shopkeeper Liu said.
"The elder went out early this morning and hasn't come back yet. If the shopkeeper wants to see the elder, my servant will report it to you when he comes back," the servant said.
"Thank you very much," Shopkeeper Liu said.
After listening to the servant's words, shopkeeper Liu returned to the front hall. When the housekeeper saw shopkeeper Liu coming back, he said, "Where are shopkeeper Liu going? I thought you left."
"I just went for a walk in the yard, hasn't the elder come back yet?" Shopkeeper Liu asked.
"No, if Shopkeeper Liu stays at the Elder's Mansion tonight, he will definitely be able to see the master tomorrow morning," the housekeeper said.
"No, I'd better go back first and come over tomorrow morning to have a look." Shopkeeper Liu stood up and said.
"It's better to have dinner before leaving. Dinner is already prepared," the butler said.
"Why is this so embarrassing?" Shopkeeper Liu said.
"What's the matter? The master hasn't come back yet anyway. I'll ask someone to make arrangements for you to wait here." After saying this, the butler left the front hall.
Shopkeeper Liu also knew that it was a bit rude to dine in someone else's house rashly. However, he really wanted to see the elder because he was a little worried. The third elder had promised him before that he would stay with him.
Thinking about it, he shouldn't be able to keep his word. Now he can only rely on the third elder.
You might as well stay and have a meal, you might just be able to wait until they come back.
After the housekeeper made all the arrangements, shopkeeper Liu went to the inner courtyard to have a meal.
Lengfu
"Young Master, Shopkeeper Liu did not go back directly after leaving Leng's Mansion. He also did not get on the carriage and walked to the Elder's Mansion. But what is a bit strange is that he has not come out yet." The man in black said.
"The elder is not in the mansion, why did he go to the elder's mansion? Moreover, seeing that the elder is not here, he actually stayed in the elder's mansion." Ayu said in confusion.
"It seems that he still didn't give up and actually planned to persuade the third elder to stay with him. I thought that although shopkeeper Liu was unwilling, he couldn't do anything. I didn't expect to go directly to the elder's mansion. I underestimated him." A Lan said.
"You mean, he still expects the Third Elder to keep him?" Ayu said in disbelief.
"Yes, he doesn't know that the third elder has returned to the clan, and he doesn't know that the third elder has already guessed that he is ruthless, so he plans to ask the third elder to give him a chance. If nothing happens, I think
The third elder will definitely keep him." A Lan said.
"Why are you so sure?" Ayu asked doubtfully.
"Because the third elder plans to keep him to fight against me." A Lan shrugged and said.
"I don't know if there will be any results in the clan, and I don't know how the clan leader will deal with it," Ayu said.
"No matter how it is handled, it is the clan's decision." A Lan said.
"I'm a little confused. The clan can even let Shopkeeper Liu go, so why are they worried about Shopkeeper Xingjing?" Ayu asked in confusion.
"Because Shopkeeper Jing knows the elder's secret, but Shopkeeper Liu doesn't," A Lan said.
Ayu couldn't believe that the patriarch would do this, so he said to A Lan: "Will the patriarch really punish Shopkeeper Jing because of this matter?"
"Yes, the patriarch is still very traditional. He doesn't want to see the scandal of the Leng family known to others. The three elders made mistakes, and the patriarch will only solve them privately and will never let outsiders know. Now shopkeeper Jing knows that the elders have made mistakes for
Gold mines harm people, do you think the clan leader can tolerate him?" A Lan said.
"If that's the case, I think we need to arrange more people to protect Shopkeeper Jing and the others. Unfortunately, Shopkeeper Jing's son is still in the clan," Ayu said.
After listening to Ayu's words, A-Lan suddenly remembered something and said: "I understand why the clan leader didn't argue with me about whether to deal with Shopkeeper Jing, because Shopkeeper Jing's son is in the clan. Let's go take a look tonight and kill him.
Bring him out of the clan. By the way, there is also the son of the shopkeeper, Qianglan. It’s best for him not to stay in the clan.”
"Hasn't Shopkeeper Jing's son already passed the exam and gone to a certain clan?" Ayu said.
A-Lan didn't say anything. She performed Qing Kung Fu with A-Yu and went to the clan. After finding out where the two of them were, she returned to Leng Mansion.
"I didn't expect that the two shopkeeper Jing's sons have such a good relationship," Ayu said.
"Have you noticed that someone has been following the two of them?" A Lan said.
"You mean the clan leader has already arranged for people to keep an eye on them? Does that mean the clan leader will use them to threaten shopkeeper Jing at any time?" Ayu asked incredulously.
"You are right, the clan leader will take action immediately after handling the matter of the three elders." A Lan said.
Ayu did not expect that the clan leader would do this. It could be said that he had never thought about it.
"Alan, I never believed that the clan leader would do this, but I really believed what you said after I saw the two people following them with my own eyes," Ayu said.
"Okay, let's rest for a while. We have to go to the tribe later." A Lan said.
"I know." Ayu said.
At ten minutes in the middle of the night, the two people came to the tribe quickly under the moonlight. After entering their house, A-Lan sprinkled a handful of medicinal powder, and the two people in the room fell asleep. A-Lan and A-Yu carried the two people
He returned to Leng Mansion and rested in the side courtyard of Leng Mansion.
Early the next morning, when the two of them woke up, they found that they were not in the clan, and they were a little flustered and at a loss.
Fortunately, A-Lan and A-Yu arrived in time, and they calmed down when they saw that the person who came was actually A-Lan.
"Because the situation is somewhat urgent, I took you back to the Leng family without consulting you. You stay at the Leng family for the next few days, and I will tell your parents." A Lan said.
"Thank you, Master. Master, is he in such a hurry to bring us back? Did something happen?" Shopkeeper Jing's son asked.
"It's not like anything happened. Let your father tell you in person in a few days." Alan said to me.
Ah Lan thought it would be best for shopkeeper Jing to tell them personally about this matter. I believe the two children are so sensible and will understand shopkeeper Jing's heart.
"yes."
After lunch, A-Lan and A-Yu left Leng's house and went to the other courtyard. Shopkeeper Jing was talking to his wife in the courtyard and happened to see A-Lan and A-Yu walking this way.
"Master." Shopkeeper Jing said.
"Shopkeeper Jing, Ayu and I brought you and Shopkeeper Jingtian's son back to Leng Mansion last night. I know you are worried, so I came here to tell you." A Lan said.
Shopkeeper Jing was very grateful after hearing what A-Lan said. He and his wife stayed up all night last night because they were worried that something would happen to their son. Unexpectedly, A-Lan came back with the child last night and finally felt relieved.
"Thank you, Master. We are indeed worried, but it's hard to say anything." Shopkeeper Jing said.
"After so many years, I really hope you can continue to stay in the Leng family. I think you should take your wife and children back home, and let your wife's family know that you are doing well." Ah.
Lan said.
"Master, do you think we shouldn't stay in the capital?" Shopkeeper Jing said.
"I just asked you to go back and have a look, and come back after staying for a while. I guarantee that you are still the boss of the Leng family. Your children should not stay in the Leng family. They should continue to study and gain fame." A Lan said.
Shopkeeper Jing understood what A-Lan said and promised A-Lan to go back to his hometown in a few days to have a look. However, how should Brother Jingtian explain it at that time?
A Lan sighed and said to Shopkeeper Jing: "I will explain over there. You decide when to set off, and I will arrange someone to protect you."
"Thank you, Master." Shopkeeper Jing said.
A-Lan and A-Yu did not go back to Leng Mansion. They went directly to shopkeeper Jingtian's house. Shopkeeper Jingtian had passed away and Mrs. Jing didn't know about it yet, so A-Lan came over to tell Mrs. Jing in person. However, she didn't know what to do.
How to speak.
Mrs. Jing was a little surprised when she heard that A-Lan was coming. When she came out and saw that the person who came was really A-Lan, she said, "Why are you free to come here today, Master?"
"Mrs. Jing, I came here today because I have something to say to you. I'm afraid the news I brought is not good news, and I don't know how to say it." A Lan said.
"Master, please tell me, I'm ready." Mrs. Jing said without any surprise.
Ah Lan still didn't dare to tell Mrs. Jing the truth directly, so she said to her: "Mrs. Jing, what I want to tell you is about shopkeeper Jing."
"Master? Young Master, I have probably guessed what you want to say." Mrs. Jing said.
Ah Lan looked at Mrs. Jing in surprise. Could it be that Mrs. Jing already knew that shopkeeper Jing had encountered an unexpected incident?
