Chapter 545 Scapegoat

For the Lin family, sneak attacks on the Fanjin Mine are a major event related to the rise and fall of the Lin family, so the clan leader and the elders did not sleep at night, and they all gathered at the clan leader's house, waiting for the assassins to return in triumphant return. Of course, they were more curious and wanted to see what the legendary golden-blooded fleas looked like?

Unfortunately, they waited until dawn, and the assassins did not come back, which slowly cooled down their excitement and expectation. It seemed that something was wrong. But now it was dawn, and they couldn't send people to the Fanjin Mine to inquire, so they could only wait with their teeth, hoping that a miracle would happen.

As a result, the miracle did not come, but the messenger of Shangyan Sect came.

When everyone heard that the Shangyan Sect had arrived, no matter whether the assassins succeeded or not, this was not a good sign. But since they were here, the Lin family was also a prominent family, and it was not easy to see them. Lin Zhan gritted the bullet and invited the envoy in.

As soon as the envoy entered the door, he saw Lin Zhan’s living room full of people, all of whom were well-known figures in the Lin family. The envoy knew that these people must be waiting for the assassin to come back!

Although Shangyan Sect took advantage at night, the messenger still had an indignation on his face. He entered the door and said, "Captain Lin, I, Shangyan Sect, did not offend your Lin family. I have no complaints in the past and no grudges in the near future. Why did your Lin family send someone to attack my Fanjin Mine?"

Everyone's hearts sank, it seemed that the matter had been exposed.

But now it's dawn, they have made the worst plan and are discussing this matter just now, so they have already thought of a remark!

Lin Zhan snorted coldly at this time and said, "Nonsense! When did my Lin family go to sneak attack your Fanjin Mine?"

The messenger said: "Last night, your Lin family sent more than a thousand disciples, dressed in night clothes, to attack my Fanjin Mine. Fortunately, my Fanjin Mine was strictly guarded, so he killed all the invaders, including the third elders of the nobles. Now the body is still lying on my Fanjin Mine. The evidence is conclusive. What? The Lin family has the courage to do such shameful things, but don't have the courage to admit it?"

When everyone heard this, they felt frightened. That was the thousand elites of the Lin family, including their third elders, had been killed by them all, which was a heavy loss. But they did not doubt the words of this envoy, because none of the people they sent out came back, and even if one came back, the situation would not become so passive.

But they are all people who have experienced strong storms. Now that things have come to this point, it is useless to regret it, and they cannot admit it.

Lin Zhan said in shock: "What? You Shangyanzong actually killed my Lin family members?"

The messenger sneered and said, "Your Lin family sneak attacked my Fanjin Mine. Don't we kill them? Do you still need to serve them with good wine and good food?"

Lin Zhan pretended to be angry and said, "You fart! You need thousands of people to attack your small broken mine? We did send 1,000 people last night, but they went out to explore the crystal mine. Maybe they were passing by your Fanjin Mine. You won't ask if you killed them without asking?"

The messenger sneered again and said, "Exploring crystal mines? I'm so old and I heard that I went to explore crystal mines in the middle of the night. Besides, do you need to wear night clothes to explore crystal mines? Don't you think it's ridiculous?"

An elder said, "We are happy. We can explore whenever we want. You can see clearly at night. Isn't it okay? As for what clothes we wear, that is our hobby. Does it have anything to do with you? Is it because we wear night clothes that you have reason to kill our disciples? I see the colorful clothes you wear today, which makes me very upset. Can I use this as an excuse to kill you?"

The messenger said: "Last night, it was your disciple who took the initiative to attack my Fanjin Mine, so we were forced to fight back."

The elder said, "You fart! Who in the world knows that the people of my Lin family are the most kind, have always been friendly and friendly, and never take the initiative to cause trouble. How could they attack your Fanjin Mine for no reason? It is obvious that you bully people too much and killed all the disciples passing by my Lin family. Now there is no evidence to die. You want to frame the blame again, and your heart is punishable!"

The envoy was mentally prepared before coming, knowing that the Lin family would definitely not admit it. The reason why he came was to seize the commanding heights of morality and then called on the people of the world to criticize them. And then, they did not suffer any losses last night, so they were not unbalanced and kept holding on. At this time, they said: "In other words, your Lin family doesn't admit it?"

The elder said, "Agree! Don't think that it's reasonable for you to come first. We must investigate this matter. We will send someone to the Fanjin Mine to investigate later. We must seek justice for the Lin family. You can go back first. When we have a clear investigation, we will have to settle the score with you!"

The envoy said, "If you do unrighteous things, you will die! Since you don't have the courage to admit it, I will not force you to say goodbye!" After that, he turned around and left, full of anger.

If it were a normal time for a little messenger, he would have been so proud of their Lin family, he would have been killed directly, which was too hateful, but now they are guilty. Although they are justified, ghosts don’t believe that their disciples went out in the middle of the night to explore the crystal mine. This feeling is like being caught by someone in bed, but they insist that they are here to repair the bed and take off their clothes to repair it. Who would believe it? So they can only fool the other person away first, and then make a long-term plan.

When the messenger left, no one went out to send him off.

After the envoy left, the hall suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at each other with a heavy face. Over the years, the Lin family had never eaten such a big slapped. Thousands of elites were massacred overnight. The key was that the mute ate coptis chinensis and could not say anything about the suffering. Although they said they wanted to investigate and preside over justice for the deceased, they felt like a mirror in their hearts. Just investigation was nothing, and investigation was just a fool.

After all, they are famous families, and all the people here are well-known people. They care especially about face and act like bad things. Who is willing to do it before they have to? Who is shameless?

An elder said in a heavy tone: "Last night, Fanjin Mine was a trap!"

Another elder said, "Is this more than anything? This must be a trap. There are only a hundred masters in the Fanjin Mine, but at night they can capture thousands of us in one place, and no one can escape. The opponent's troops were at least tens of thousands of people, otherwise it would be impossible for one person to escape. They have already set up a net of heaven and earth, and are waiting for us to drill into it."

Everyone turned their eyes to Lin Chaolu's face at this time, and one of the elders said, "Chaolu, can you give us an explanation?"

Since dawn, Lin Chaolu has been uneasy because the sneak attacker has not come back. He knows that something is wrong. After the envoy from Yanzong came, he told them that the thousands of people had been wiped out. She knew that the Fanjin Mine last night was a trap. And she was in trouble because she was the most critical figure in this trap.

Until now, she couldn't figure out how Ye Wuduo would have calculated that they would have sneak attacked at night? Now that she thought about it carefully, she did not show any intention of attack at that time? Even when he said he wanted her to marry him, she endured it and her attitude was very kind. Since the other party had arranged tens of thousands of troops, it was confirmed that the Lin family would have gone. To be honest, when she came back, she was not sure that the Lin family would have sneak attacked at night, so why could he be sure? The key is that this guy is not a smart person in their minds at all. How could he set up such a big game? But except him, she had never contacted other people, which was really incredible!

No matter whether she could figure it out, it was no longer important now. She pushed the thousands of elites and the third elders into the fire pit. When faced with the elders' questioning, she always had to give a reason. She was so scared that she looked ashamed and sweated. At this time, she said anxiously: "I...I...I don't know either. I did see the golden blood fleas. How did I know that they could calculate that we would attack? I didn't say anything at that time."

The elder said, "The news was brought back by you, and you had contacted people from Yanzong at that time. If you hadn't been exposed, how could others have suspected that we would have attacked?"

Lin Chaolu said anxiously: "I didn't show my strength, I didn't say anything. Moreover, when I was at the Fanjin Mine, I didn't know that I was going to sneak attack them at night. How could I show my strength? Didn't you decide the plan to sneak attack them? Later, I didn't go out at all, how could I blame me? And dozens of people accompanied me at that time. If you don't believe me, you can call them all over. They can prove it for me. I didn't say anything." Although she was very sensible, it was just like they were just cheating in front of the messenger of Shangyan Sect, without any persuasion. After all, the sneak attack on the Fanjin Mine was quite confidential. In the whole plan, she had only contacted the people of Yanzong alone, and said that it was not her leaking news, and no one would believe it. If it weren't for her granddaughter of the patriarch, the elder's words would definitely be unpleasant, and she would directly say that she betrayed the Lin family.

After all, this matter is too serious. Thousands of elites died and even the third elders were involved. It is impossible to leave it alone. Someone must be responsible for this matter.

The elder did not bother with her anymore, but looked at Lin Zhan and said, "Captain, I think Chaolu has an unshirkable responsibility for this matter!"

When Lin Chaolu heard this, her legs were so scared that she was weak. If she hadn't been sitting on the chair, she would have collapsed to the ground. She could not afford such a huge responsibility.

Lin Zhan had a cold face. Of course, he knew that his granddaughter had an unshirkable responsibility. If Lin Chaolu was not his granddaughter, he would not have to wait until the elder spoke and drag her out and behead him. But he only had such a precious granddaughter, so how could he bear to kill him? But although he was the patriarch, he could not openly protect his shortcomings. After all, this fact is too bad. If he pretended that nothing had happened, he would not be able to convince the public in the future.

At this time, he said, "Chao Lu has a responsibility, there is no doubt about this matter, but the responsibility cannot be counted on her alone. After all, she only brought back the news of the golden blood flea. It was not that she decided to send someone to attack. The one who really decided on this matter was me and everyone here. Do you have no responsibility?"

In fact, the incident of sneak attack on Fanjin Mine was proposed by Lin Chaolu, and she encouraged Lin Zhan. But at this time, Lin Zhan would definitely not say it, and could only spread the responsibility to everyone. Otherwise, if he said this, Lin Chaolu would definitely die.

Lin Chaolu heard her grandfather say this and felt it was very reasonable. She seemed to have been wronged and hurriedly agreed: "Yes, yes, it's really not my business. I just brought back a message, and it's not fake news. They really have golden blood fleas, but I didn't let you attack them. Now the sneak attack has failed. You can't count the responsibility on my head."

The elder was a little unhappy. Although in their impression, the idea of ​​sneak attack was not raised by her, she was the one who fanned the flames yesterday and said that only hundreds of masters of the Fanjin Mine would make them so sloppy and easily advance. Then he said, "Class leader, that is to say, Chaolu has no responsibility at all, and the responsibility is on our heads?"

Another elder said: "It is unfair to the patriarch protect his granddaughter so much? This will make the third elder die with peace of mind."

Another elder said, "I also feel that this will make the third brother die inexplicably."

If someone else died, these elders turned a blind eye to the patriarch's face and spread the responsibilities equally. The matter would be over. But because the third elder had the best popularity among the elders, his death made these elders feel extremely sad. It felt that Lin Chaolu had harmed the third elder. If it weren't for her, how could the third elder die? So these elders did not want the third elder to die inexplicably and argue with reason.

Lin Zhan also felt a headache and said, "I'm not saying that my granddaughter has no responsibility. I just said that I can't count all the responsibility on her own. Do you have no responsibility? The sneak attack on Fanjin Mine was agreed by all of you yesterday. This is the business of the entire Lin family. If this matter succeeds, the entire Lin family will benefit. Now that it fails, you will set all the responsibility on my granddaughter. Don't you think it's too much?"
