Not letting Luo Jinyan's face darken, he said calmly: "Then we are going to take action."
Luo Jinyan was handsome and elegant. Even in a place like Shangyong, people who didn't know him would probably regard him as a civil servant.
But after all, he still fought on the battlefield. Once his face becomes dark, his momentum is not something that ordinary people can withstand.
Before he finished speaking, Luo Er and Luo San had already drawn their swords.
Those few people did not take action directly. Instead, they looked at each other a few times, as if exchanging opinions.
After a while, the tall man said: "Clan leader, please give me a brief introduction, Mr. Luo." His Zhongyuan dialect was obviously very unfamiliar, and he paused for a few words and spoke very stiffly.
Luo Jinyan raised his eyebrows and said: "Which clan leader?"
The tall man gave a stiff smile and said: "Of course it's the Hongshan clan leader...the Sangkun clan leader."
Luo Jinyan lowered his eyes and said nothing. Governor Huaining was in charge of the affairs of the two prefectures of Huaining, but he also had the responsibility of guarding and monitoring southern Xinjiang.
Luo Jinyan has been in Huaizhou for three years and has a good understanding of the situation in southern Xinjiang.
The former patriarch of the Hongshan Tribe, Sang Pu, had many children, but the one who was appointed as the young patriarch was not the so-called Sang Kun, but Sang Ye, the legitimate son born to Sang Pu and his first wife, the daughter of the patriarch of a small tribe.
The murderer of Samp has not yet been brought to justice, and the other two tribes have not officially announced the candidates for the next clan leader. The Hongshan tribe seems to be a bit unique.
Not only did he directly ignore the revenge of killing his father and succeed to the throne, but the successor was not the originally planned young patriarch.
The tribes in Southern Xinjiang are not as strict as the Central Plains about whether a country should be without a king for a day. Their rule is: if the old patriarch dies in an assassination, the successor must kill the enemy to be justified.
"Where's Sanye?" Luo Jinyan asked bluntly.
The tall man hesitated and thought for a moment before saying: "Lord Luo, please, the clan leader, I will...answer your doubts."
Luo Jinyan thought for a moment, nodded and said, "That's fine."
"Young Master." Luo Erluo San stood up and said.
They were single and weak, so it was really not a wise decision to go to Hongshan alone.
Luo Jinyan said calmly: "Don't worry, Sang Kun may not be ready to break up with Da Sheng."
When the men and women across from him heard this, their expressions became more and more stiff and condensed.
Obviously these people all understand Chinese dialect.
Naturally, the place Luo Jinyan was invited to was not the real clan territory of the Hongshan tribe.
Zhaoyun City is jointly managed by the three major tribes, but in fact it is still quite far away from the clan areas of the three major tribes.
It's just that the leaders of the three major tribes and even the prominent people in the tribe have mansions in the city, and these people often live here, so this place is somewhat like the second center of power of each tribe.
These people did not take Luo Jinyan into the city to the Hongshan tribe's mansion in the city. The group of people walked south for more than ten miles before they saw a stockade hidden on the mountainside.
When three men wearing Central Plains costumes stepped into the village, they naturally attracted a lot of stares, and there was also a lot of undisguised malice in these eyes.
Luo Jinyan met the eyes of a child who was hiding in the corner and stared at him fiercely. The other child was stunned for a moment, and soon stared back even more fiercely.
Luo Jinyan calmly looked away, and the three of them followed the leader to a large house in the center of the village.
The person who led the way did not go in, but turned around and said to Luo Jinyan: "Master Luo, please."
"Thank you." Luo Jinyan nodded, and then slowly stepped into the door.
Luo Er and Luo San were stopped behind. Luo Jinyan turned around and gestured to them. The two could only give the person who stopped them a warning look, then walked straight to the door and stood guard there.
The village in southern Xinjiang, even where the clan leader lived, was still crude to Luo Jinyan, who had long been used to the bustling Shangyong.
Luo Jinyan stood at the door and glanced inside, only to see a middle-aged man in his early thirties sitting at the main seat in the hall looking at him.
The men are also dressed in the Hongshan tribe's costumes, but more ornately. On their necks and on the wrists of both hands, they wear gold and gemstone ornaments with complicated and magnificent styles.
The man's skin color is somewhat dark, and his face is painted with colorful colors, giving him an ancient and solemn wildness.
"Master Luo, it's a pleasure to meet you." The man spoke first. His Central Plains dialect was extremely standard, and he could not be heard as a foreigner who had been living in southern Xinjiang.
Luo Jinyan frowned slightly and suddenly said: "You are not Sang Kun."
The man raised his eyebrows, looked at Luo Jinyan and said, "Master Luo has seen me before."
Luo Jinyan said: "No."
"Then why did you say I'm not Sang Kun?"
Luo Jinyan smiled lightly and said: "Do you want to say that you are Sang Kun?"
The man laughed loudly, and after a while he slowly nodded and said, "Master Luo is right, I am indeed not Sang Kun."
Luo Jinyan glanced at him lightly, and walked to the chair next to him and sat down without asking further questions.
The man raised his hand and gave a low high-five. After a moment, the two of them dragged a somewhat embarrassed middle-aged man in.
The two men were very rude and threw the person to the ground casually, and then left silently.
Luo Jinyan looked down at the middle-aged man on the ground. He had a typical southern Xinjiang appearance and skin color, and even his stature was much shorter than the man sitting on the main seat.
But Luo Jinyan already knew his identity without the man opening his mouth.
This is the real Sang Kun.
It has to be said that the gap between the two is still huge.
The man pointed to the person on the ground and said: "This is Sang Kun, does Mr. Luo want to see him?"
Luo Jinyan said: "It's not me who wants to see Sang Kun, it's Sang Kun who wants to see me."
The man smiled and said, "Please introduce yourself and show me the pornographic pictures."
Luo Jinyan said calmly: "I don't know him."
The man was not angry and said calmly: "You are a nobody. It's not surprising that Mr. Luo doesn't know him."
Luo Jinyan looked at him and said with some meaning: "Your Excellency is not an ordinary nobody. You have already killed Young Patriarch Sanye and the Patriarch's wife."
Setu smiled lightly and said nothing, and Luo Jinyan said: "You also killed the patriarch."
Setu remained speechless, just looking at Luo Jinyan with a smile.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Luo Jinyan said: "So, what do you want to do when you come to me?"
Setu rubbed the gold bracelet on her wrist and said, "What if I said, I want to use Mr. Luo to blackmail the Prince Regent and the Luo family into submission?"
Luo Jinyan was not moved at all, he just sneered and said, "I think you want to die."
"It seems that Mr. Luo has no awareness of being a prisoner at all." Setu said: "You are in my hands now. Do you think Mr. Luo can escape with just the three of you?"
Luo Jinyan narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Do you have the ability to mobilize the entire Hongshan Department now?"
"..." Setu remained silent for a while before lowering his eyes and laughing softly.
Luo Jinyan said: "You are indeed very courageous, but you don't know...if people from the Hongshan tribe rush in at this time, who will die first, you or me, except for the people near this big house and the few people you sent to find me?"
, you can’t control the Hongshan Department at all now.”
When he came in just now, he discovered that the other people in the village were not only hostile to them, but also very strange to the few southern Xinjiang people who were with them.
The people of southern Xinjiang live together in groups and are very enthusiastic towards their fellow tribesmen.
If they were really from this village, there would be no chance that no one would come up to say hello when they walked in.
"Come on, why are you looking for me?" Luo Jinyan asked calmly.
Setu sighed and said: "It seems that I can't hide it from Lord Luo. It's very simple. As long as Lord Luo helps me control the Hongshan Department, I will help your Lord Zeng clear his name."
Luo Jinyan said calmly: "Luo is just a minister. He cannot make decisions for the court and cannot affect the situation in southern Xinjiang. Your Excellency, you are looking down upon me."
Setu smiled and said: "Lord Luo, you are so humble. You are not an ordinary minister. You are the eldest son of the Luo family and the uncle of the regent. You are also the person in charge of the military and political power of Huaining and Ningzhou. As long as you are willing to cooperate, you will be able to do it immediately.
To success."
Luo Jinyan raised his eyebrows, seeming to be a little interested in what Setu said, "What do you want me to do?"
Setu said: "It's very simple. All I need is for Master Luo to declare me to be the next clan leader of the Hongshan Tribe in the name of the Dasheng Imperial Court."
Luo Jinyan shook his head and said: "You should know that even if it is the imperial court's order, it is impossible for the Hongshan Department to obey it."
The positions of these tribal chiefs are inherited from generation to generation, based on blood ties.
It is impossible for the imperial court to force someone who is not the previous clan leader to succeed the clan leader. This person may not even be from the Hongshan tribe.
Setu smiled and said: "Master Luo, don't worry, I certainly won't embarrass the court."
Luo Jinyan stared at him and said after a while: "What is your relationship with Samp?"
The smile on Setu's face froze slightly, and he said after a while: "He is my father."
Luo Jinyan immediately understood that Setu should be Sang Pu's son born to someone outside.
I just don't know why, but I wasn't brought back to the clan. It stands to reason that Samp has many bastards, so it must not be because of pressure from the clan or his wife.
Sang Kun, who had been lying on the ground, suddenly started struggling when he heard this.
I just don’t know what means Setu used. No matter how hard he tried, no sound came out of his mouth.
Sang Kun was so angry that he could only hit the ground with his body again and again, making a banging sound.
But the area around the big house is full of pornographic people, and even if they hear it, no one will come in and ask.
However, Setu got tired of hearing this and kicked Sang Kun unconscious.
Luo Jinyan somewhat understood what Bai Tu meant. An unrecognized illegitimate child was indeed not qualified to inherit the position of patriarch.
Therefore, the court needs to endorse his identity.
If the young patriarch of the Hongshan tribe really dies, then all the remaining heirs will be bastards.
As long as Setu can prove his identity, avenge the clan leader, and have the endorsement of the Dasheng court, he can indeed inherit the position of clan leader.
However, this also has shortcomings. The people of the Hongshan tribe may not really be convinced, and other tribes in southern Xinjiang may also regard the Hongshan tribe as traitors.
Luo Jinyan lowered his eyes and thought for a long time, then suddenly said: "Your conditions are not too harsh, but I still have a question."
"What?" Setu asked.
Luo Jinyan looked at him steadily, "Who is the person behind you?"
Setu was stunned and said with a smile: "I don't understand what Mr. Luo means."
Luo Jinyan said: "Your Excellency, you want to tell me that you killed the clan chiefs of Hongshan, Furukawa, and Qiuci tribes all by yourself, just to coerce the court into giving you proof of identity. Or, there happened to be two of the Guhe tribe and Qiuci tribe who were just like you.
People, you hit it off so well that you did something like this. With all due respect, if you have such ability, you probably don’t need the imperial court’s endorsement.”
If Setu could prove his identity, it would not be impossible to kill all the old patriarch's concubines and force the old patriarch to recognize him.
Setu didn't speak for a long time. He didn't know how long it took before he chuckled a few times and said, "Master Luo is so perceptive. It's really admirable."
Luo Jinyan looked indifferent and had no intention of complimenting each other.
Setu smiled and said: "Well, someone did help me a lot secretly. But don't worry, Mr. Luo, I have no intention of going against Dajing. I just want to get back what I should get back. Compared with... people of unknown origins
, I am naturally more optimistic about Dasheng."
Luo Jinyan's calm face showed no sign of what he said about the erotic picture. Did he believe it or not?
After a long while, Luo Jinyan asked quietly: "Could the person who is secretly helping you come from the Qi tribe?"
Setu smiled without changing his face and said: "I told you that their origins are unknown, how do I know where they come from? Anyway, I need power, and they need my help to mess up the Hongshan Department. Everyone gets what they need, why not?"
"Then do they know that you are cooperating with me behind their backs?" Luo Jinyan asked.
Setu said: "This... of course they don't need to know. Their purpose has been achieved, and my cooperation with them has ended."
Luo Jinyan asked with great interest: "What will happen to you if I don't agree?"
Setu said: "If Mr. Luo refuses, Mr. Zeng may not be very good. The Hongshan Department may rush out and tear him apart immediately for the person who is eagerly looking forward to avenging Sangpu."
After saying that, Setu smiled again and said: "Master Luo, you are right, I really can't control the Hongshan tribe now. But... it's enough that I can control Sang Kun. Do you know how Sang Kun ascended to the position of clan leader?
"
"You helped him."
Setu nodded and said: "Yes, otherwise, how could we possibly defeat Sanye's mother and son with just this trash?"
Setu suddenly raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and Shang Sangkun, who was still unconscious just now, immediately stood up.
He struggled to get up, with a strange look on his face and body movements.
He struggled and walked towards the sex picture, but his face was full of struggle and fear.
Setu raised his hand and gestured to him. Sang Kun's movements stopped instantly, as if he was struggling violently.
But soon, he still knelt down in front of Setu, with a respectful and humble posture of surrender.
Setu smiled at Luo Jinyan and said, "Master Luo, have you seen that? As long as I can control Sang Kun, I can control the Hongshan Department."
"You still can't completely control Sang Kun." Luo Jinyan said.
"Not bad." Setu admitted generously, "But this is enough for now."
Luo Jinyan lowered his eyes and thought, and Setu was not in a hurry. He knew that Luo Jinyan still needed time to weigh and consider.
I don't know how long it took before I heard Luo Jinyan calmly say: "I can promise you, but I have a condition."
"What?" Setu asked.
Luo Jinyan said: "I will decide who will kill the three clan leaders."
Naturally, it would be impossible for Setu to stand up and admit that he was the murderer, otherwise he would be taking the blame.
Setu said: "Time is short, if there is any flaw..."
Luo Jinyan said: "I am responsible."
Setu took a deep look at Luo Jinyan and said, "It's a deal."
