The third elder completely shied away the responsibility and even confused right and wrong. Elder Jian couldn't help but admire the third elder when he saw it. The elder's face had become unsightly, but the third elder still acted calmly. Talk to him in a frivolous manner.
There is evidence that if it weren't for his previous understanding with the shopkeeper, he would really think that the third elder was doing it for A-Lan's good.
Through chatting with several shopkeepers before, he knew that the third elder often went to shopkeeper Liu. Shopkeeper Liu must have been influenced by the third elder before he took action against shopkeeper Li. He knew that shopkeeper Liu was not affected at all, let alone realized that he
What he did was wrong.
"Then let's talk about the gold mine. After you discovered the gold mine, you shouldn't have killed anyone even if you didn't hand it over to the tribe. Do you know your guilt?" Elder Jian said.
"Elder Jian, haven't we told you about the gold mine before? We knew what we did was wrong, and we didn't hide anything. We told the clan everything. The elders of the clan returned the favor because we admitted our mistakes sincerely.
After we got out of the gold mine, that's why we were allowed to leave. All matters within the clan are decided by the clan leader. You always don't care about these things, why did you suddenly mention this matter?" asked the third elder.
The Great Elder frowned slightly. Ever since Elder Jian arrived, his heart had been in mid-air. Elder Jian seemed to know everything, otherwise he would not have asked them like this. The more Elder Jian asked him, the more nervous he became. But seeing him
When the third elder was able to deal with it with ease, he gradually felt relieved.
"I have always been taking care of things in the clan before. Because I planned to take a rest, my eldest brother left it to the clan leader to take care of. The clan has a big problem now and cannot continue like this. The elders of the clan did not deal with it in accordance with the clan rules.
You, I will deal with them. However, what I want to ask is not only about the gold mine, but that you killed Elder Jingtian because of the gold mine." Elder Jian said.
"There is a reason for killing Elder Jingtian. I don't know how Ah Lan investigated it. Things are not what you heard. It's not that Jingtian didn't agree to cooperate with us, but because he disliked how much we gave him.
Young Master, we couldn't bear it anymore and planned to punish him. We wanted to let him know that we are not easy to mess with. Originally we didn't intend to take his life, but who knew that shopkeeper Jing misunderstood us and the poison was given by shopkeeper Jing.
It has nothing to do with us." The third elder said aggrievedly.
"You said the poison came from shopkeeper Jing, does it have nothing to do with you?" Elder Jian asked.
"Of course, shopkeeper Jing was originally just a clerk from Jin Yuzhai. He was left in the shop because Jingtian felt sorry for him. Shopkeeper Jing saw that Jingtian was more respectable than him, so he naturally had harmful intentions. I really didn't think of him at all.
I was able to do it, thinking he was just joking. That day, my eldest brother went to Jinyu Zhai, and when he arrived at Jinyu Zhai, he discovered that Jingtian had already died," said the third elder.
Elder Jian did not expect that the third elder would blame all the wrong things on others. Even if it was really the elder who poisoned him, the action of the elder had nothing to do with him.
"If this is the case, why didn't you make it clear to the clan? If you had made it clear, at least A-Lan would not misunderstand, or would it be said that you lied?" Elder Jian asked.
"Elder Jian, there are too many things involved in this matter. We plan to take responsibility ourselves and let Shopkeeper Jing go. Who knew Shopkeeper Jing would lie to Ah Lan, and for some reason, Ah Lan still refuses to believe us.
Elder Jian, please make the decision for us. Ah Lan can't listen to what we say. He doesn't believe us, but only believes in outsiders. We can tolerate these, but the most intolerable thing is that he killed our relatives. Since you
If you plan to personally deal with clan affairs in the future, can you deal with Allan's matter first?" the third elder said angrily.
The third elder does have a way. If he does not understand the truth of the matter, he will really be misled by him. There is nothing wrong with his words. If A Lan really kills their relatives, A Lan will naturally be punished by the clan rules. Third
The elder tried to avoid the important things, intending to ignore their affairs and focus on A-Lan's harm to others.
"Third brother, why don't I understand what you mean? But you also know that A-Lan is the direct grandson of the Leng family. He is not just a member of the family. What's more, the jade plaque in his hand was given to him by the old man.
Who would dare to take action against the person chosen by the old man? Especially since the matter has not been clarified, naturally we cannot take action against him." Elder Jian said.
The Great Elder was originally able to control it, after all, he did not mention his family. But just now, Elder Jian was always protecting A Lan, which made the Great Elder feel very uncomfortable. In addition, Elder Jian has always been protecting him,
This made the great elder increasingly unconvinced.
"Elder Jian, are you protecting Alan? Even if Alan is the direct grandson of the Leng family, even if he is the head of the family chosen by his cousin and the person the old man likes, so what? It's not like he killed someone? He's from the Leng family.
The clan rules are very clear. No matter who makes a mistake, he will be treated equally and punished according to the clan rules. But in the end? After just one trip to the clan, he was released. We were not convinced.
When she saw him, Elder Jian was already protecting him." The great elder said unconvinced.
"You mean that I am protecting him? Then who is protecting you? I have clearly told you to stay in the clan, but Elder Lu sent you back. Isn't this not protecting you?" Jian
The elder said coldly.
The Great Elder became even more angry and roared: "Elder Lu sent us back because of Xian'er. What does Elder Jian mean? Can't we come back and find Xian'er? Ah Lan won't even tell us where Xian'er is.
Naturally, we have to go out and search for it ourselves. Can't we just let them dump their bodies on the streets like this? Xian'er is already in a miserable state. He is only five years old. Elder Jian, A Lan is so inhumane. He was killed by Ah when he was only five years old.
Lan was killed. You didn’t deal with Ah Lan, but you came to me to ask about things that happened many years ago. I really don’t understand, Elder Jian’s partiality must have a limit, how can you make the elders of the clan feel chilled?”
"Brother, Elder Jian has always been fair, how could he be biased? There is a reason why he came here to ask. He has not taken care of the clan's affairs for so many years, so naturally he has to ask clearly. Brother should not lose his temper with Elder Jian."
The third elder said.
"Lao San, your Ziqi was also kidnapped by A-Lan. Although we are not the eldest brother, we are still direct descendants. How can we let them manipulate us? You are just being misunderstood because you usually tolerate A-Lan.
We are sorry for Ah Lan." The first elder said to the third elder.
Elder Jian pursed his lips and watched the two elders acting under his nose. He really admired the third elder for being so calm under his questioning. Seeing that the elder was about to become furious, the third elder was
Still talking freely.
It's just that he doesn't believe a word of what the third elder said today. Although Shopkeeper Jing is not in the capital, what the other shopkeepers say is equally trustworthy. Shopkeepers Li and Qi have changed their minds, so naturally they won't lie.
"The thing that killed Jingtian came first. If you are willing to return to the clan and be punished and admit your mistakes, I will punish Allan and ask him to hand over your child. Some things are just right. Don't think that I will never come out.
You don't even know. If you still want to see your child, then seriously think about where you went wrong." Elder Jian slammed the table hard and suddenly stood up and said angrily.
"Elder Jian, why are you so angry? The clan decided what happened to Jingtian. They didn't punish us in accordance with clan rules, not only because of the gold mine, but also because we are members of the Leng family.
.And what happened back then has been so long ago, why does A-Lan insist on holding on to this matter? What is his purpose? Why does he have to kill us? After all, we are also his cousins, how can he bear to do this?
Do it? Elder Jian, if possible, please have a good talk with A-Lan, we also want to know what A-Lan wants," said the third elder.
When Elder Jian stood up and left, the First Elder's face was filled with murderous intent. Obviously, the First Elder could no longer hide his true feelings towards Elder Jian. After the Third Elder could no longer see Elder Jian's back, his smiling face turned cold.
Incomparable.
The first elder looked at the third elder. This was the first time he saw the third elder like this, and he whispered: "Third elder, should we take action..."
The third elder sneered: "The people in the clan have been controlled by Elder Lu. What's the use of having only Elder Jian left outside? Even if we go back, the people in the clan won't do anything to us."
"Lao San, is this true?" the elder asked in disbelief.
"How can the letter sent by Elder Lu himself be false? Don't forget that Elder Jian has not taken care of the clan's affairs for many years. Although many clan members have met him, they just respect him. They will only listen to Elder Lu and Elder Qin.
Order, Elder Jian is alone now and has no way of punishing us. If you kill my Aqi, I will make them pay with their lives." The third elder said coldly.
The great elder did not continue to ask, because he knew that the third child would not lie to them. Elder Lu had already controlled the clan before, but there was still a clan leader at that time. Now the clan leader is missing, so naturally Elder Lu speaks alone.
Forget it.
After Elder Jian left the Elder's Mansion, he returned to Leng Mansion without going anywhere else. A-Lan stood in the front hall waiting for Elder Jian. He was relieved to see that Elder Jian was unharmed.
"Alan, are you worried that the three elders will be bad for me?" Elder Jian said with a smile.
"Elder Jian may not know that Elder Lu took advantage of your absence and the clan leader's disappearance to take control of the entire clan. I'm worried that the three elders already know about this, so it will be detrimental to you. I'm worried that they will take the opportunity to take action.
After all, it’s not the first time I’ve done this.” A Lan said.
"Don't worry, Alan. Since you said so, the third elder is so smart that it is even more impossible to do this. Because they know that even if they follow me back to the clan, the people in the clan will not listen to me. They will also take the opportunity to
I am under house arrest in the clan, and then Elder Lu will be able to cover the sky with one hand." Elder Jian said.
A-Lan was not surprised to see Elder Jian. It was obvious that he had known something for a long time. A-Lan asked, "Did Elder Jian receive the news earlier?"
"I didn't know before, but I had a premonition that Elder Lu would do this. I didn't take care of the clan before, and left the clan's affairs to the clan leader. At the beginning, the clan leader handled the clan's affairs very well.
Okay. But I didn't expect that he had problems early on." Elder Jian said.
"Elder Jian suspects that there is something wrong with the clan leader?" Alan asked.
Elder Jian smiled slightly and said, "I know you have discovered the problem a long time ago, but you just didn't tell me because you were worried that I would be disappointed with the clan leader. Am I right?"
