Although Ah Lan didn't tell what happened to shopkeeper Jing, Mrs. Jing's expression told him. Mrs. Jing seemed to know what he planned to say.
A Lan's guess was good. Mrs. Jing had guessed that her husband had met with something unexpected a few years ago. They had always had a good relationship with each other, but one day ten years ago, after shopkeeper Jing came back, he knelt in front of her
In front of her. She will never forget that scene, nor the expression on shopkeeper Jing’s face at that time. From that day on, shopkeeper Jing would sleep in a side room whenever he got home. At first, she didn’t know what happened and thought Jing
The shopkeeper went to the side room because he was messing around with women and felt sorry for himself when he got home. Shopkeeper Jing’s dining habits have also changed. He never ate spicy food before, but now he likes it very much. In the past ten years, shopkeeper Jing has been eating spicy food at night
She had never left the side room since she came back, and she knew that this man was not her husband.
A-Lan opened her mouth and said softly: "Does Madam know what I want to say?"
"Master, you want to tell me about my husband, right?" Mrs. Jing said calmly.
"Yes, in fact, Shopkeeper Jing passed away ten years ago. The current Shopkeeper Jing is a fellow villager of Shopkeeper Jingtian. We have investigated this matter a few days ago and came here to tell Mrs. Jing."
Alan said.
"I want to know what happened and who killed the master." Mrs. Jing said coldly.
"They were the elders of the Leng family. They wanted to bribe Shopkeeper Jing, but Shopkeeper Jing didn't go along with them, so they attacked Shopkeeper Jing. Now the three elders have been brought back to the clan to be punished," A Lan said.
"Master, are they willing to sacrifice one life for another?" Mrs. Jing asked.
Over the years, her husband has disappeared, but another person has come to pretend to be her husband. She would not believe this matter if it had nothing to do with the Leng family. The Leng family treated her son too well, and she knew that the Leng family was trying to compensate.
They. However, no matter how much compensation they receive, can they save their husband’s life?
"Madam, the three elders were handed over to the clan. I don't know what to do with them yet. I came here this time to tell you that we took your son from the clan to the Leng Mansion. He will live in the Leng Mansion for the time being.
, I hope you don’t worry." A Lan said.
Mrs. Jing thought that A-Lan was planning to use her son to threaten her, but when she thought about the current situation in the clan, she realized that A-Lan was protecting her son.
She breathed a sigh of relief and said to Alan: "I appreciate the young master's kindness, but I hope the Leng family can give me a satisfactory answer."
"Mrs. Jing, Shopkeeper Jing has also been with the old man all the way. The old man trusts Shopkeeper Jing very much. And he did not let the old man down, so I will not let him die in peace." A Lan said.
Mrs. Jing asked slowly: "Where are the master's bones?"
"I didn't know who the bones belonged to at the beginning, so I asked the young master of the Nan family to send them to the temple for salvation. Now that it has been confirmed that they belong to Shopkeeper Jing, someone will send them back and let him be buried in peace." A Lan said.
"Thank you, Master. Thank you, Master." Mrs. Jing didn't know what to say, so she kept repeating, "Thank you, Master."
When A-Lan and A-Yu left, they felt very heavy because they knew that it was impossible for the three elders to exchange one life for another after they returned to the clan. However, if they did not do this, how could they live up to the loyalty of Shopkeeper Jing?
He must give an explanation to Mrs. Jing about this matter, otherwise, he will not only be sorry for shopkeeper Jing, but also sorry for his grandfather's trust in him.
"Alan, what should we do?" Ayu asked.
He knew that A-Lan was in a very difficult situation, but he also knew that A-Lan had already made a decision in his heart. However, he knew that A-Lan had no way to explain it to the clan leader.
"It was originally the fault of the three elders. Let's see how the clan leader handles it first. If it's unfair to Shopkeeper Jing, I won't let it go." A Lan said.
"A-Lan, if the clan has made a decision, we cannot change it. Besides, they are the elders of the Leng family, and the clan will not punish them severely," Ayu said.
Ah Lan understood what A Yu meant and said, "I will take care of it. I won't let Shopkeeper Jing die unjustly."
Ayu said: "I believe you can do it, but will it offend those in the clan?"
"If they have any complaints, it would be better to change the family members. Now that grandpa is gone, the clan is becoming more and more unruly. What do you think, do you want to follow me?" A-Lan asked.
Ayu smiled and said: "What do you think? Growing up, only the old man was the best to me. Later, the old man passed away and I was sent to the patriarch. Later, I returned to the Leng family and continued to guard the old man's yard. Now the old man's
There’s no need to guard the courtyard, you can’t possibly leave me and run away alone, can you?”
"In the future, I will hand over the business to Ah Feng, and then plan to follow my master to Yaowang Valley." Ah Lan thought for a while and said.
"Then you really plan to hand over the Leng family to Ah Feng? You must know that the elders of the Leng family are not easy to deal with. Are you sure Ah Feng can handle it?" Ayu asked.
"A Feng should also exercise. Besides, the elder will definitely replace him when the time comes." A Lan said.
"It seems you have made up your mind." Ayu said.
"There should be no problem in leaving the Leng family's business to him. I'm just worried about Shopkeeper Jing's family now. No matter if they leave for a while, by the time they come back, the matter here will have been resolved. I believe that if the clan leader agrees,
I will never attack Shopkeeper Jing again." A Lan thought for a while and said.
"But, I'm still a little confused. I know you want to say that the clan leader didn't want to spare Shopkeeper Jing because he knew the elder had made a mistake. But it was obviously the elder who killed someone to silence him, so why should he deal with Shopkeeper Jing? The clan leader has always been a person in my heart.
How could a gentle person do this?" Ayu said.
Ayu has followed the clan leader for many years, so he is unwilling to admit that the clan leader is such a person.
"The affairs of the Leng family are very complicated, and the clan leader should be very clear about it. I will tell you later, but now is not the time." A Lan said.
"But how are we going to explain to Mrs. Jing?" Ayu asked.
"It's useless to be anxious now. Let's wait until the news comes out from the clan." A Lan said.
Early the next morning, the clan leader came to the Leng family in person. He planned to talk to A-Lan about the three elders.
"Alan, you seemed to have something to say to me that day. What was it?" the clan leader asked.
A Lan thought that the patriarch would directly tell him the results of the treatment of the three elders, but he did not expect that the patriarch would ask him instead.
"Chief, you are asking knowingly. You know that I want to ask about Shopkeeper Jing." A Lan said.
"Put the matter of Shopkeeper Jing aside for now. Let's talk about the matters of the elders first." The clan leader thought for a while and said.
"Okay, it just so happens that I also want to tell you what happened back then." A Lan said.
"You have told me what happened back then. The three elders really should not have killed Jingtian because of the gold mine. We, the Leng family, cannot be sorry to Jingtian's family. After all, Jingtian died for the Leng family. We
Don’t worry, I won’t treat his family badly,” the patriarch said.
A Lan looked at the patriarch strangely. It was hard to believe that this was what the patriarch said, so he asked: "Chief, what do you plan to do with the three elders?"
The patriarch looked at A-Lan, as if he knew what A-Lan wanted to hear, but this time he might be disappointed.
"A-Lan, the three elders have resigned and are now repenting at home. The Leng family will not ignore Shopkeeper Jingtian's family," the patriarch said.
"Patriarch, how do you plan to compensate? Will you compensate with money or threaten them with their children?" A Lan said disappointedly.
After hearing what A-Lan said, the clan leader was obviously a little angry and said coldly: "A-Lan, how could you say that?"
"Isn't it the patriarch who first protected a few elders?" A Lan said.
"Alan, why do you think so? I am doing this to take care of the overall situation. The clan is already re-electing elders, and the Leng family's business has just stabilized. If word gets out, it will have an impact on the Leng family's business," the clan leader said.
.
"You are worried that it will affect the Leng family's business, so you are not afraid of being ashamed of Shopkeeper Jing? The three elders found the gold mine, they don't have to hand it over to the Leng family, but why do they want to harm people? Because Shopkeeper Jing refused to go along with it, they killed him.
Shouldn't there be a heavy penalty?" Alan asked.
"Alan, the person who poisoned Jingtian is the one pretending to be him. I was just about to tell you, just arrest him and enforce the family law," the patriarch said.
"Clan leader, the poison did not come from Shopkeeper Jing. Shopkeeper Jing was the one who was threatened. He is not from the Leng family, so why should he be allowed to enforce family laws? As an elder, he did not set an example and harmed others in order to conceal his conspiracy. Why was he punished?
It's not them, but shopkeeper Jing?" A Lan said angrily.
The patriarch knew why A-Lan was angry, and also knew that it was indeed the fault of the three elders. He just wanted to calm things down and not make the matter bigger in any case. He said to A-Lan: "A-Lan, I know I am angry, but have you ever thought about it?
However, Sedum is gone now, and even if they are asked to accept the clan rules, Sedum will not come back to life. It is not appropriate to publicize the Leng family's affairs, this is the best result."
"Clan leader, this is unfair to Jingtian. Jingtian did not choose to join in with the elders. He was killed for the sake of the Leng family. If the elders are not severely punished, Jingtian will die in peace." A Lan continued.
"Alan, it is enough for our Leng family to treat his family well. As for how to deal with the elders, you can leave it to me. This is the clan's decision and you cannot interfere." The clan leader said coldly.
"This is indeed the clan's decision, isn't it your acquiescence? If you strongly oppose the clan's decision, they will also consider it carefully. Think about it, if Jingtian chose to go with the elders that day, he would not be harmed.
.There must be a mastermind among the three elders. This person must be guided by the clan rules, otherwise how can he be worthy of his family. You are right, Sedum is no longer here, but if you treat his family well, Sedum will
Are you coming back? Mrs. Jing has long noticed that something is wrong over the years, but she didn’t mention it because of the Leng family. Do you still plan to protect those elders at this time? They spread rumors about me and my father, causing death
They showed no repentance to the shopkeeper of the Leng family, and even provoked discord among the four shopkeepers who left. Don’t you know what their intentions are?" A Lan said angrily.
"Alan, I know what they did was wrong, but they are still members of the Leng family. Even if they are not elders, they are still your uncles. Besides, they already know they are wrong. Isn't that enough?" said the patriarch.
"Patriarch, you really disappoint me. The emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people. I don't think you have heard this sentence. If the person who was killed today was the elder Ji, and the person who did it was the shopkeeper Jingtian, would you still have his subordinates?
