The patriarch sighed. He knew that he had disappointed Alan. Apart from the old man and his second uncle, Alan had admired him the most since he was a child. He knew that the three elders threatened him once, and they would threaten him the next time.
But for A-Lan, he had to stay in the capital. He couldn't ignore the Leng family's business until A-Lan accepted the business.
"I know I'm disappointing you, but he is my grandson. How could I watch him be arrested? If I am willing to calm down and investigate, I believe I will find out the problem soon. It's all my fault for caring.
When I heard that something happened to Zi Jian, I was already confused," the team leader said.
"At the beginning, I was really disappointed with the patriarch. Later I calmed down and thought about it carefully, and then I understood why the patriarch did not leave the capital. You continued to take care of the business because of me and for the promise of grandpa, because you know that I am still too young.
Xiao, if you leave, the elders of the clan will immediately take the business away from me. How could I not know the clan leader’s wishes?” A-Lan said.
"Grandpa, I didn't even realize that those people were lying to me. How did you know? Fortunately, it's okay now. Don't blame yourself." Leng Zijian said.
"I feel relieved when I see you come out of prison." The clan leader said happily.
"Who harmed grandpa like this?" Leng Zijian asked.
"I've woken up, so there's nothing wrong. Ah Lan, how did the matter get resolved? How did Princess Pluto find that woman?" the clan leader asked.
"Of course I don't know how Princess Pluto found that woman. But I received the note early in the morning. Not only did Princess Pluto send the woman to prison, but she also took Shopkeeper Liu to prison at the same time." A Lan said.
.
"I really didn't expect that Shopkeeper Liu was willing to do this. In order to stay in the Leng family, he almost caused his former friend to go blind. He even went to inform the three elders." The patriarch said.
"Shopkeeper Liu's idea is very simple. He always believed that the three elders could meet his requirements, so he did this. After leaving the shop, he provoked other shopkeepers. If the shopkeepers hadn't been on guard,
I'm afraid it won't be so peaceful now." A Lan said.
"Now that things have passed, the Leng family's business should be restored to its original state, right?" the patriarch asked.
"Patriarch, I have made a decision, and I don't know if you agree with it." Alan said.
"Let me hear what is decided." the patriarch asked.
After thinking about it, A-Lan told the clan leader about the plan for the gold mine. Before he made the plan, he originally planned to discuss it with the clan leader. But then the clan leader became weak and he hoped that the clan leader could take good care of himself, so he only discussed it with Ayu.
one time.
The clan leader was silent after hearing A-Lan's plan. A-Lan didn't know what the clan leader meant and didn't dare to speak first.
After the patriarch thought for a long time, he said: "Alan, there is actually no problem with your decision, but are the three of them really trustworthy? If you think about it carefully, I completely believe in Ziqi's ability. After all, I heard that the third elder
Although he loved Ziqi, he did not dote on him. The third elder was not stingy with Ziqi's training. Ziqi did not disappoint him. Although he had never really taken care of business, he always stayed with the third elder. What I like most is that he loved Ziqi.
The ones I'm worried about are Ziyi and Ziqian. Although Ziyi is married, he is still lazy and does nothing. His favorite thing is to run to the brothel. Ziqian is a bit mediocre and has no business acumen. So, you leave the business to
Do they really have no problem?"
"I know the clan leader's worries, but if I take back the gold mine and manage it myself, it will be very difficult. In order to keep the gold mine business as it is, I can only leave it to them. If the three of them are willing to work together, I believe that the business will
There should be no problem. The patriarch is right. Ziyi's cousin likes to be lazy, and Ziqian doesn't pay much attention. Ziqi has to do everything. But if they are willing to listen to Ziqi, the three of them will do it.
If the business is taken care of well, there won't be any problems. I also plan to use the gold mine business to test them to see if they are sincerely working for the Leng family." A Lan said.
"You are right to do this. If you take over the gold mine business, I am afraid that business transactions in Linxian County will stop. If Ziqi accepts it, the third elder will not bear to let Ziqi hit a wall no matter what." The patriarch said.
"When they trade, they rely on the jade cards in their hands. Only shops in other counties will do business with the Leng family if they have jade cards. Even if I come to the door in person, it will be useless," said A-Lan.
"I knew that guy was an old fox, and I was right," the clan leader said.
The clan leader did not know about the punishment of the three elders. A Lan did not want to hide it from the clan leader and said: "Clan leader, the matter in the clan has been resolved. The elders have also been punished according to the clan rules. Several elders have also stayed in the clan.
It will take two months for the wound to heal completely, and they will be able to move around in another half a month."
"Have you dealt with them?" the patriarch asked.
"Yes, their matters should be resolved as soon as possible. I didn't want to delay so I implemented the clan rules that day. But don't worry, clan leader, I won't give in like this to the matter of framed son. After they can move around, I will invite them to the Yamen.
I will teach them a lesson and will not give them a chance to do this kind of thing again." A Lan said.
"Are you planning to send them to the government?" the clan leader asked.
"Although this is a family matter of the Leng family, the woman who reported the case first, and that woman and shopkeeper Liu have already confessed that it was the third elder who ordered it. So, even if they don't go to jail, they will still be beaten with a few sticks." A Lan
said.
"Master, thank you very much," the patriarch said.
The clan leader knew in his heart that there was no need for A-Lan to do this, because the Leng family's own affairs could just be settled within the clan, not to mention that they had just accepted the clan rules, and according to the rules they would not be tortured again.
A Lan knew that Zi Jian felt aggrieved. If this incident did not teach them a lesson, Zi Jian would never be able to hold his head high and lead a good life. This matter must always be resolved. If they heard how the government dealt with it, the three elders would not dare to say anything.
What.
However, if this is the case, will the three boys really be willing to take care of business for the Leng family?
"Are you going to use this matter to test them?" the clan leader asked.
"The patriarch is right, I have such a plan. I want to let them know that even the Leng family must abide by the law." A Lan said.
"I think I understand your intention. If you let the three elders escape this time, many elders will follow suit. Then everything you do this time will be meaningless at all." The patriarch said.
"Actually, this is not entirely for them, but also for the future of the Leng family. If this kind of thing is not dealt with in time, similar things will happen in the future. I didn't expect that things would be like this. How could they think of framing Zi Jian?
Killer." Alan said.
"The three elders were eager for quick success and were worried that you would discover the gold mine, so they did this. I was so concerned that I was confused at the time. I really thought that Zijian had killed someone. But when Zijian saw that person's head was broken and bleeding,
, I was already in a panic, so when the woman said that the person had died, I believed her when I saw her. It was really a bit messy at the time, and just when I realized that things were too coincidental, the third elder came to the door. The threat of the third elder
I was unable to continue the investigation and just tried to cover up for Zi Jian again and again. In fact, it was my fault that Zi Jian was worried for so long," the clan leader said.
"Grandpa, don't blame yourself. How can I blame you for this? When I was there at that time, I was already frightened. I admitted that I killed someone, and you did nothing wrong." Zi Jian said.
"Okay, don't blame yourself. Chief, the matter has passed and the clan's affairs have been resolved. Please don't blame yourself anymore," said A-Lan.
"Then I blame myself even more. So many things have happened, and you have solved them all by yourself, and I haven't been able to help you at all," the clan leader said.
"Chief, when you were about to tell the truth, you were poisoned by the elders. You were powerless. How can I blame you? However, I will need to be more careful in the future. The person in charge of the clan's accounts has been tortured.
After receiving the punishment, I never selected anyone to come up because I wanted to wait until Zi Jian's matter was over and hand over the accounts to Zi Jian." A Lan said.
"He used to go to the store to check the accounts every month. If you plan to promote him to be the boss, who will go to the store to check the accounts every month?" asked the patriarch.
"If Zi Jian is not afraid of hard work, you can temporarily let him go once a month. But as soon as he finds the right person, he will take office immediately. Zi Jian, what do you think?" A Lan asked.
After hearing what A Lan said, Zi Jian immediately said: "Thank you young master, I will do a good job."
"Well, don't let me down." Alan said.
"I feel relieved to see that grandpa is fine. I plan to go back to the clan. Grandpa, after meeting my father and mother, I will come over to accompany you to take care of yourself." Zi Jian said.
"That's right, they should be extremely worried during this period." The clan leader said.
"Patriarch, they came to Leng Mansion to visit you several times, but I rejected them all. Because I didn't want them to worry when they saw you, so I sent them away," A Lan said.
"You did the right thing. After I see you go back, I don't need to come over, so as not to worry them." The clan leader said.
Zi Jian did not agree to the clan leader, believing that even if he agreed to the clan leader, he would come back. After having dinner with his grandfather, Zi Jian returned to the clan.
After seeing Zi Jian, his father and mother shed tears of excitement.
"Zijian, I hope you're fine, but you're worrying us to death. Do you know that grandpa is worried about you?" said his father.
"Zijian is a little thinner, but he is energetic. What happened? Why were you taken away by the government?" asked his mother.
"Father, mother, don't worry. The government has found out. The whole matter has nothing to do with me, so they let me out. Now the relevant people have been brought back to the Yamen, and the prefect will continue to investigate." Zi Jian said.
"I'm relieved to see that you're fine, but I heard that your grandfather fell ill and was at Leng's house. Didn't you go see his old man?" said the mother.
"Don't worry, mother, I just came back from the Leng family. It was the young master who found the evidence and took me back to the Leng family from the Yamen. Grandpa has woken up and is recovering well. I believe he will be able to come back after a while. Grandpa asked
I'm telling you, don't worry too much." Zi Jian said.
