The moment the patriarch saw his master, he obviously felt guilty. Because when he saw his master, he would think of A-Lan's grandfather. A-Lan had never mentioned his master's return, so it was really embarrassing to see him suddenly.
They haven't seen each other for many years. The last time they met, it was when the old man was around. After that, I kept hearing about A-Lan, but never saw him again. I didn't expect that he was actually in A-Lan's yard.
.When did he come? Did he just come back recently, or has he been hiding in the Leng family for a long time? What is his purpose, and why has he not shown up since he came back?
Because the clan leader didn't know that A-Lan took the master to the restaurant for dinner, he thought that the master had come back secretly.
"So it's you. I haven't seen you for many years. How are you doing?" The clan leader said hello first.
"I used to be in good health, but I heard some things recently, and I can't get better even if I think about it." The master glanced at the clan leader and said.
"So you know all these recent things?" the clan leader asked cautiously.
"Well, I heard about it. It's unbelievable. I shouldn't say anything about the Leng family's affairs, but I really have to say a few words." Master said.
"Since you are here, please also advise A-Lan. What he did recently was indeed inappropriate. He killed three people. The clan must deal with it. Isn't this embarrassing for me?" said the clan leader.
"Huh? Ah Lan did nothing wrong. Why should I advise him? You three elders of the Leng family almost destroyed the Leng family. You didn't deal with it and let them run free. Now you want to deal with Ah Lan? What's the point of this? I don't understand.
.I just know that if the old man knew about your kind of virtue, I'm afraid he would tear the clan apart." The master said fiercely.
The clan leader was very embarrassed after hearing this. He didn't expect that the Master Guild would mention Allan's grandfather. He didn't know what to say for a moment. At this moment, Allan happened to come to the yard.
"Alan." The clan leader said.
"I wonder why the clan leader came here today?" A Lan asked coldly.
"Alan..." Because of his master, the clan leader didn't know how to speak, so he hesitated.
"Then let's talk after we go in." Alan said.
A-Lan asked the clan leader to come into the house. The master snorted and returned to the house.
"Chief, there is no one here now, can you speak?" A Lan asked.
"You are really awesome. Now there are only two shops open. Are you satisfied?" the patriarch said.
"Patriarch, have you forgotten that I am no longer the head of the family, and I am responsible for everything in the shop.
I don’t know. Even if the door is closed, it seems to have nothing to do with me." A-Lan thought for a while and said.
"Alan, don't tell me that all the shops are closed and you didn't know. Of all the shops in the Leng family, only Ren Zi and Shopkeeper Tang are in the shop. Didn't Ren Zi tell you what happened in the shop?" the patriarch said angrily.
"Uncle Ren did just tell me what happened in the shop, but I'm not the boss, so what right do I have to ask about what's going on in the shop?" A-Lan said.
"Alan, tomorrow I will summon all the shopkeepers in the shop, hoping that you can show up and let them return to the shop." The patriarch said.
"Head of the clan, I'm no longer in charge, so I won't show up. Do you have anything else to do?" Alan said.
"The clan said that your attitude is very bad, and several elders also plan to come to Leng Mansion in person. Ah Lan, if you kill someone, you must return to the clan to be punished," the clan leader said.
"Killing? I said I didn't kill anyone. I didn't kill my cousin and Xian'er. Do you believe it?" A Lan asked.
"He is no longer here. I have already visited the house of the three elders. How can you deny it? This time it is more than just a human life. You must return to the clan." The clan leader said.
"Excuse me, if I need to return to the clan, do the three elders also need to return to the clan? If so, I will naturally be willing to go back with you." A Lan said.
"How can this be the same? You killed the Leng family. Because you are the leader, I am willing to spare your life." The clan leader said.
"Patriarch, I'm talking about the last time. Shopkeeper Jing lost his life for the Leng family. If he had been willing to collude with the three elders, he would not have been killed. When did the people of the Leng family become so cold-blooded?" A Lan
said.
"Alan, don't you know everything? The three elders handed over the gold mine, and the clan elders were very polite to the three elders. Naturally, they would not do anything to the three elders, and they could only give more compensation to shopkeeper Jing's family.
.This is enough. Shopkeeper Jing’s son went to the academy to study with Ah Feng and grew up with Ah Feng since he was a child. If he was really just the son of a shopkeeper, how could he be treated like this?" said the patriarch.
"Chief, what do you mean by this? Do you also know about the gold mine?" Alan asked in surprise.
The patriarch's eyes flickered, as if he was avoiding A-Lan's gaze and questioning. A-Lan was a little shocked, and did not expect that the patriarch was also involved in the gold mine.
Thinking about it, when he investigated the three elders, the clan leader didn't seem to agree with his decision. At that time, the clan leader planned to take Shopkeeper Jing back to the clan, maybe because he wanted to kill people and silence him, not to cover up his ugliness. The reason why the clan leader did this turned out to be because of this
reason.
"Clan leader, you really disappoint me. I really didn't expect that things would be like this. If the clan doesn't make a decision to deal with the three elders, then I will punish them in my own way. I will
Let the three elders pay the price and make them regret for what they have done." A Lan'e said coldly.
"Alan, you have killed three people now. You clearly know that your two cousins and Xian'er are the three elders' most loved sons and grandsons, but you have mercilessly attacked them. You have let the three
The elder has paid the price, what else do you want? Now the clan just asks you to stop handling the business in the shop. Isn't that enough? This matter should not be made big, otherwise the Leng family's business will definitely be implicated. "The clan leader.
said.
"Patriarch, are you worried that your business will be implicated, or are you worried that your affairs will be exposed?" A Lan said sadly.
He just felt very angry about everything the three elders did, but what the clan leader did made him sad and disappointed. The clan leader followed his grandfather around, and he really didn't expect that he would be complicit with the three elders.
"I had no choice but to do it. What happened back then was not as simple as you thought." The clan leader shook his head and said.
"Tell me, why is it not simple?" A Lan said.
"Do you think the third elder only threatened shopkeeper Jing back then? He also threatened me. Jingtian was killed because he didn't agree to the third elder's opinion. Just like what happened to Jingtian, the three elders needed someone to be there for them.
The clan was acting as spies to cover up, so they came to the door. You know I would not agree to them, but at that time something always happened to my little grandson. The third elder told me that if I want my little grandson to live a long life, just be obedient.
Listen to them. At that time, I just thought it was a prank, but later he got lost, and when we found him, his head was broken. I know that it was the elders who did it, but I have no evidence. I know that the clan has already
They wouldn’t believe my words because the patriarch is from the Leng family. The eldest elder told me about Jin Yuzhai and told me that if I don’t want to become the second Sedum, just listen to them. I have no choice but to do it for my family.
I can only endure it," the clan leader said helplessly.
"So many things happened back then, why didn't you tell me?" A Lan asked in shock after hearing the past events.
Unexpectedly, so many things happened that year. The three elders not only threatened shopkeeper Jing, but also threatened the clan leader. How could the clan leader suffer such injustice after following his grandfather for so many years?
"How could I tell you this when you were so worried because of that woman? Actually, I didn't know about the gold mine at first. I thought they were just trying to steal Jin Yuzhai's money. Later I found out that it was not that.
Simple. Later, I secretly followed them and discovered the gold mine. After I found out, I went to question them, but they threatened me. After so many years, I have never had a good night's sleep. You know that my children are not here.
I am the only one left in the capital. You keep asking me why I don't keep them by my side, and now I tell you, it is for this reason," the clan leader said.
"Then why didn't you tell me when I came back this time?" Alan asked.
"You are busy checking the accounts. I know you plan to deal with the store's affairs, so why would I tell you these things?" the patriarch said.
"Did the three elders go to the clan to exert pressure?" Alan asked.
"That's right, they gossiped a lot about you when they returned to the clan. Elder Lu originally had a bad impression of you, but after hearing what they said, he naturally believed it," the clan leader said.
"It seems that the clan needs to be cleaned up." A Lan said.
"What are you going to do? I know that I have committed an unforgivable crime. Since I told you, I have no intention of living. I..." Before the patriarch could finish his words, his mouth and nose began to bleed and he couldn't stop it. He shook his head.
He staggered and almost fell down, but fortunately, A-Lan helped him sit down.
"Master, Master, come quickly." A Lan shouted worriedly.
The master heard A Lan's cry and hurried into the house. When he saw the clan leader's appearance, he knew that the clan leader had been poisoned. So he first stuffed a pill into the clan leader and then began to diagnose his pulse. After a while, the clan leader tried his best to
Shi Gong began to vomit. Seeing that the patriarch had almost vomited, the master stuffed him with a pill again, and then started to give him acupuncture. After struggling for half an hour, the master took the silver needle. A Lan saw the sweat on the master's head,
He wiped the master's forehead with a handkerchief. Seeing that the master was a little tired and his face was a little pale, he said to him guiltily: "Master, are you tired?"
"Fortunately, you find someone to take care of him. Fortunately, I was in the yard in time, otherwise the gods wouldn't be able to save him," the master said.
"Master, what kind of poison did he get, and why did the medicine take effect so quickly?" A Lan asked in confusion.
"He should have hidden this poison in his body. What did you tell him that he suddenly took the poison and planned to commit suicide?" asked the master.
"Like Shopkeeper Jing, he was threatened by the third elder, so he knew about the gold mine. After he told me this, he suddenly fell down with bleeding from his mouth and nose," A Lan said.
"Oh, how many people have these three elders killed?" the master sighed.
"This matter needs to be investigated slowly. The people in the clan need to be cleaned up. If the Leng family continues like this, it will be over. Fortunately, they don't know that the Leng family is the descendant of the Dongmo Kingdom royal family, otherwise they will be even more arrogant."
Alan said.
"I can't help you with this matter. Let me take care of the clan leader during this period. The toxins in his body have not been cleaned out yet, and it will take some time." The master said.
"Master, it's a good thing you're back, otherwise, the clan leader might have died." A Lan said.
"After all, he is lucky, otherwise he would have to see your grandfather." The master said.
