In the evening, Yuanyuan went to inform Jin Yunlan of the results of her two days' investigation.
"This is the portrait of the person who went to Fengdu Grain Store that day and claimed to be there to check the accounts. Just take a look." When Yuan Cheng said this, his face was not the least bit ugly, and he cast worried eyes at her young lady from time to time.
Jin Yunlan's heart skipped a beat. He took a portrait from her hand and opened it to look at it. She suddenly took a breath of cold air. She quickly closed her eyes, as if she had seen something extremely unbearable.
"He made a copy of our monthly bills from Fengdu Grain Store." Yuan Manman added.
Jin Yunlan laughed coldly, with a voice as cold as ice: "No wonder he was aggressive in the morning meeting today. It seems that he had already seen the clues. Those words were just to force me to reveal my flaws."
"The eldest young master is really unfathomable." Yuanyuan sighed fearfully, "But it is precisely because he is your biological brother that he knows you very well. Even if you used a false name, you could not escape his eyes.
.”
"I'm going to find him and ask him clearly!" She folded the portrait, put it into her sleeves, and hurried to Jin Yunchong's residence.
But before she stepped through the gate of his courtyard, her good brother strolled towards her step by step with a flamboyant smile.
"You came just in time. Little Chongzhi, I have something to ask you." Jin Yunlan pointed at him, took on the posture of a sister, straightened her back, and shouted sternly.
"I wonder what's going on, elder sister?" Jin Yunchong talked to her slowly to attract her attention. At the same time, he moved his fingers inconspicuously. Several shadows known for their speed, holding chains in their hands, flashed around her in the blink of an eye.
Before Jin Yunlan could react, her body had already responded on its own. She jumped up and immediately escaped from the tight containment.
After she turned over and landed on the ground, she saw clearly these uninvited guests holding shackles, and an ominous premonition arose spontaneously, but her face remained calm, "What does this mean? What did I do that warranted alerting the secret guards?"
Jin Yunchong looked at her meaningfully. In the uneasy and noisy evening wind, his voice was like a clearly visible sharp sword stabbing straight at her: "You and I know it well, so don't make it public.
It’s good.”
Jin Yunlan rolled her dark eyes, turned around and ran away from the house. Just as she jumped onto the roof, countless black shadows fell from the sky like raindrops. She stopped, looked around, and found that the house was full of people who came to arrest her.
There are many secret guards, and there are a considerable number of them. At first glance, it looks like they are deep in a trap.
Jin Yunchong gloated and put his hands behind his back, smiled at her being imprisoned, and said sarcastically: "Sister, don't struggle, you are trapped in a dragnet with nowhere to escape. If you want to leave by force, you will have to destroy this mansion."
It’s a flat ground! And Jialan Courtyard is right at your feet.”
Jin Yunlan lowered his head and saw his wife and Xiu Xiu running out of the house in panic, hand in hand, looking around helplessly.
The lady turned pale and shouted: "Lan'er, Chong'er, what on earth is going on?"
Xiuxiu was suddenly thrown into the tense atmosphere. Her little face suddenly twisted, and she stammered and called her brother and sister.
When Jin Yunlan saw this, he immediately became angry and turned around to scold him: "Jin Yun Chong, you are really crazy! You actually got your mother and Xiu Xiu involved in this!"
Hearing this, Jin Yunchong's indifferent expression was not infected by any guilt, and he remained as indifferent as ever: "Eldest sister should be happy about this. In order to successfully capture eldest sister, I have put a lot of thought into it, and I also borrowed hundreds of secret agents from the great elder.
Wei. Such a big pomp is enough to give you dignity."
Jin Yunlan sneered: "Then do I still want to thank you for thinking so highly of me?"
Jin Yunchong scratched his forehead carelessly and said with the utmost hypocrisy: "Between you and me, sister and brother, such trivial matters are of no concern. Take her and take her to the ancestral hall, where she will be punished!" His expression suddenly changed.
, very serious.
The secret guards listened to his order and dared not disobey him. The dark figures immediately slowly surrounded Jin Yunlan.
She subconsciously made a gesture of resistance, but when she heard the screams of her mother and little sister, she couldn't help but throw herself into the trap, and her raised hands finally dropped down.
In the blink of an eye, heavy shackles were placed on both of her wrists.
She sighed, with indelible pain and regret in her eyes, "Although we have a bad relationship, we are always tit for tat when we meet. You caused me to fall off my horse. I only treat you as a child, and I don't really hold a grudge against you."
You. But now it seems that you really regard me as a thorn in your side and a thorn in your flesh, and you hate me so much."
Jinyun Chong was indifferent to her heartfelt words, and even showed a mocking face, as if he was laughing at her lame trick, "Sister, you have wronged me. I am thinking about Jinyun's safety. Anyone who harms the dignity of our clan will be punished by me."
Treat everyone equally and never tolerate them."
Jin Yunlan glanced at him sadly: "I hope your words and deeds will be consistent, and there will be no personal feelings involved."
"That's natural." He still maintained a false smile, and then gave the order sonorously and forcefully: "Take him to the ancestral hall and hand him over to the great elder for personal interrogation!"
The autumn tiger in September is very vicious, trying to make a good comeback in early autumn. It is working hard to create a hot trend like summer.
The lights inside and outside the Jinyun Ancestral Hall are brilliant. The memorial tablets of Jinyun's ancestors are arranged in an orderly manner and are magnificent.
Jinyunlan knelt on the futon, looking up at the spiritual throne of Jinyun's ancestor. The cigarette smoke curled up on the high platform like auspicious clouds, light and diffuse, as if she was in a Buddhist realm. Her face was solemn, her lips were pursed, she was covered in cold sweat, and a bead of sweat slid down her forehead.
.
There were guards at all four corners of the ancestral hall, with eight eyes staring at her constantly. The door was also heavily guarded, and there was a guard every three steps along the gravel paths on both sides of the entrance, for fear that she might escape.
Do you really want to guard her as a serious criminal?
The great elder walked slowly and leisurely. The door of the ancestral hall behind her opened with a bang, but her figure remained motionless, always keeping her knees bent and looking straight ahead. Until the great elder called her by name,
She slowly turned her head and saluted him calmly.
The great elder looked at her calm face steadily. There was no trace of happiness or anger on her calm and dignified face, but her voice was unusually thick and even seemed a bit muddy in this grand and spacious ancestral hall.
"You also know that your name is Jin Yunlan?"
Jin Yunlan replied nonchalantly: "I don't know what my disciple has committed. I hope the great elder will explain it clearly so that I can clear up my confusion."
The great elder looked at her sternly: "Let me ask you, are you dealing with the Li family privately?"
Jin Yunlan lowered her eyes and thought. After a moment of silence, she asked, "Is it against the rules for the Great Elder to detain me here before he has found out the truth?"
The great elder threw out the evidence one by one and threw it in front of her eyes.
Jin Yunlan picked up these certificates calmly and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "What can these alone mean? A doll, a few bills. I bought the doll accidentally. The name written on this bill is not my name.
Why should you blame me?"
The great elder was surprised and angry at her strong words, and couldn't help but raise his voice: "You still don't admit your mistake? Do you really want to force me to use mind reading on you?"
When Jin Yunlan heard the word "mind-reading", her heart suddenly went up and down, and her calm mask was about to crack. Although she was possessed by Li Li's concealment technique and was forbidden to say anything related to the Li family, the biggest nemesis of the concealment technique was
It's mind reading.
The purpose of mind reading is to obtain information from the subconscious of the user, so the drowsiness triggered by the spell of silence is meaningless.
She resisted strongly: "I am not a foreigner, you have no right to use mind reading on me!"
"You are suspected of having an affair with a foreign tribe! You also serve in the Jinyun Center. In order to protect the safety of our tribe, I have every reason to use magic on you!" the great elder responded righteously.
Jin Yunlan retorted passionately: "If you want to impose a crime, why bother? Jin Yun is famous all over the world for his tolerance and broad heart. How come he calls the Li family a foreigner now? After the Battle of Zhuolu, the day the Li family settled in Kongshan
From now on, they are part of my Luo City lineage."
"The Li family harbors evil intentions and has been hostile to Jinyun for thousands of years. To Jinyun, it is more dangerous than any other clan in the world. To have a private relationship with the Li family is to abandon Jinyun's safety!"
"Whether Li is harboring evil intentions or possessing a treasure, we don't know. Jinyun, under the banner of friendship, is deliberately trying to gain world-renowned glory at the cost of destroying innocent ethnic groups. This approach is simply against the law.
Heaven’s law!”
"The law of this world has always been that of the weak and the strong! Innocence and kindness simply cannot gain a foothold in this cruel world. If not for the careful planning of ancestor Jinyun, how would you have had the chance to be born, and how would the people of Luo City have lived and worked in peace and contentment?"
"The education I have received since I was a child is to help each other and live in harmony. Now you tell me that all of this is based on plunder and massacre. How can you convince me? If my birth was based on others
Above the death, I would rather be a floating cloud than come to this cruel and ruthless human world!"
The great elder's chest rose and fell violently, and he was stunned for a moment. Suddenly, the image of his younger brother flashed through his mind, and a fleeting bitter smile flashed at the corner of his mouth.
He exhaled a heavy breath from his nostrils, "You are stubborn!" He slowly raised his right hand covered with veins, and still had the mind-reading seal on his face with a cold expression.
He choked his hands and shouted to the disciples guarding him: "Hold her down!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the disciples guarding the four corners rushed towards Jin Yunlan.
How could Jin Yunlan sit still and wait for death? She immediately stretched out her hand to perform the technique, but as soon as she raised her hand to activate her spiritual power, a heart-piercing pain came from her double bowl. She cried out in pain and fell to the ground, and a fine layer of fine blood immediately appeared on her forehead.
of thin sweat.
The Great Elder's restraint skills are really top notch.
She endured the severe pain and straightened up, slowly stood up, used brute force to break free of the four-finger-thick iron chain with her bare hands, and used the iron chain in her hand as a weapon to hit the intruder.
Seeing this, the great elder angrily rebuked: "You are an unworthy descendant and you dare to use violence in the ancestral hall. Do you still take Jinyun's ancestors in your eyes?"
Jin Yunlan stood with her head held high and gritted her teeth as she cast a look of reluctance at the angry uncle. Without even looking, she opened her hand and grabbed the lapel of a fellow disciple who was trying to block her way, and then violently slammed him
The ground was pushed forward. The young disciple fell to the ground in embarrassment, causing the other three disciples to not dare to step forward rashly.
