Elder Lu planned to let the three elders continue to cause trouble, so he specifically mentioned A Lan's cousin and Xian'er at the end. After hearing what Elder Lu said, the three elders nodded gratefully and told Elder Lu that they understood what was going on.
What to do next?
Naturally, the Third Elder would not stand out at this time, so he hinted to the First Elder to continue what Elder Lu said.
After the Great Elder understood it, he immediately said to Elder Jian: "Elder Jian, we respect you and leave the matter to the clan. Elder Lu finally brought him back with great difficulty. You have to let him go as soon as you decide. I
If you're not convinced, you're obviously going towards him. We've already made it clear what happened back then, and the gold mine was handed over to the clan, and now they've decided to handle our affairs, how can we be convinced?"
The second elder stepped forward and said: "Brother, how can this be the same? He is the eldest son and grandson of the Leng family, so he is naturally superior to others. He is also a member of the Leng family, but his fate is different."
"Come here, please put the three elders in place first. Ah Lan, you can go back." Elder Jian ignored the first elder and the second elder and continued.
"Elder Jian, it is our relative who died, and we are already very sad. Now that we have finally brought Ah Lan to the clan, we really want to know where the three of them are. What we want to do most now is to let them go
We are buried in peace. We are very sad in our hearts, so we speak without restraint. Please bear with Elder Jian, and we will pay attention to it in the future. However, please also ask Elder Jian to understand our feelings, it is really sad." Third Elder
Finally he said gently.
"Of course we know the pain of losing a loved one, but this matter still needs to be investigated. If it was really A Lan who did it, we will naturally not let him go. Of course, what happened back then also needs to be investigated carefully. Elder Lu seems to be hiding it from me
A lot of things have been done, and I need time to investigate. The three elders might as well move to other courtyards to rest, and just leave this matter to us." Elder Jian said.
The three elders were naturally embarrassed to say anything. Now they had to rely on Elder Lu to destroy the previous evidence and prevent Elder Jian from finding out anything. When A Lan was about to leave, he was stopped by Elder Jian, who asked in a low voice
: "Alan, do you know where the patriarch has gone?"
A Lan lowered his head and said in Elder Jian's ear: "Elder Jian, please don't worry. The clan leader is fine. My cousin and Xian'er are indeed at home, but they are fine. If the three elders are willing to admit their mistakes, they will meet soon."
Already."
Elder Jian nodded after hearing what A-Lan said. He believed that A-Lan did not lie to him. Since A-Lan can say it, he will definitely do it.
After A-Lan left, Elder Jian showed a smile that he hadn't seen for a long time. They had met once before, but I'm afraid A-Lan didn't remember it at all. He remembered that after A-Lan came to the clan, he really liked to stay in the ancestral hall. He was only five or six years old at that time.
, the eldest brother handed over the business to the child. He did not expect that the eldest brother would make such a decision. However, the child was smarter. Although the business was handed over to the patriarch, the patriarch once mentioned that the child was very talented.
After A-Lan took over the business, he was indeed right about this boy and managed the business in an orderly manner. But he did not expect that the woman brought back by A-Lan's father was so hateful and always coveted the Leng family's business.
In fact, he had never worried about A-Lan's ability, and as expected, A-Lan did not disappoint him. A-Lan did have some abilities and was able to investigate what happened to the three elders back then. However, the clan planned to hide the matter because of the gold mine.
, didn’t tell him at all. He actually came here today because he wanted to see A-Lan. He didn’t believe that A-Lan could be so cold-blooded. When he saw it today, it turned out to be so. It seemed that the elders had wronged him. Fortunately, he came here today, otherwise this matter
I don't know how long the clan will keep this a secret.
After A-Lan left, Elder Jian said coldly to the other elders: "The patriarch is not here now. I hope to find out the truth of the matter. Can anyone tell me what happened back then."
No one from the elders on both sides came forward. Although they all knew what happened back then, they did not dare to say anything more. This matter was the clan's decision, so what would happen if they said it? Although they were under the control of Elder Jian, Jian
The elders have not asked about the affairs of the clan in recent years. Even if they listen to Elder Jian now, what's the use? In the end, Elder Lu, Elder Qin and others will still cover the sky with one hand.
"Since no one told me, let's leave." After speaking, Elder Jian stood up and left the ancestral hall.
After simply tidying up, he left the clan and went to Leng Mansion.
He knew that if he wanted to understand the truth of the matter, he couldn't listen to the one-sided words of the elders. Just now, Elder Jian originally planned to listen to what the elders had to say, but in the end the elders refused to say a word, which made him think that the elders themselves
I don't know how to explain it, so I don't know how to start.
Arriving at the gate of Leng Mansion, Elder Jian got off the carriage and was not in a hurry to go in. He stood at the door of Leng Mansion for a while, staring at the door of Leng Mansion in a daze. The gatekeeper just opened the door and saw a man standing at the door.
An old man stepped forward and asked, "Excuse me, old man, do you want to come in?"
Elder Jian smiled slightly and said, "Exactly. I wonder if your young master is here?"
"The young master has just come back. Please come in and wait a moment. I'll go down and let you know." After the gatekeeper finished speaking, he went to tell the butler.
After the housekeeper heard this, he immediately went to A Lan's small yard.
A-Lan has been silent since he came back. A-Yu thought he had been wronged by the clan and was about to ask him what happened when the housekeeper walked in.
"Master, an old man came outside and said he wanted to see you. The second son guarding the door saw that he was old and asked him to wait for you in the front hall. If you don't want to see him, I will ask him to leave."
The steward said.
Old man? I don't know why Elder Jian's figure flashed through his mind. He didn't know why, but he thought that the old man who came to Leng Mansion was Elder Jian.
He seemed to have never met Elder Jian before, and he could feel that Elder Jian was different from other elders. Elder Jian believed what he said from the bottom of his heart, but why was the matter of the three elders handled so hastily?
Seeing that A Lan was silent and silent, Ayu asked, "What's wrong? Did you remember something or get lost in your thoughts?"
Alan came back to his senses and said to the butler: "I'll go right away and let someone serve you some good tea."
"Yes." The housekeeper immediately returned to the front hall after hearing this.
A-Lan turned around and said to A-Yu: "This old man may be Elder Jian of the clan."
"Elder Jian, I have only heard of this elder's name, but I have never seen him. This elder always seems to be there but not the end. It's really difficult to see him. But why did he come here? Is it possible that he is here?
Did something happen in the clan just now?" Ayu said.
"What can happen to the clan? I just didn't expect that there are many elders watching the fun. Elder Lu and Elder Qin seem to really want something to happen to me. If Elder Jian doesn't stop me, I think even this jade token will be useless." Ah.
Lan said.
A-Lan took out the jade token and looked at it. A-Yu said in surprise: "The elders of the clan are so arrogant?"
"You come with me to see Elder Jian and see what he wants to know." A Lan said.
"How do you know what he wants to know?" Ayu asked.
"This time I went back and found that they were hiding a lot of things from Elder Jian. Elder Jian didn't know anything about the three elders." A Lan said.
"We can't blame the other elders for taking advantage of the situation. Elder Jian never shows up, and they won't go out of their way to tell Elder Jian if something happens," Ayu said.
"The patriarch knows about the three elders, but he is naturally unwilling to tell Elder Jian for fear that the matter will be exposed. Elder Lu, you have also seen it. He and Elder Qin don't seem to like Elder Jian. Elder Jian has a high status, and it seems that he and Grandpa
He has the same seniority, so many people are unwilling to offend him. But what happened today shows me that other elders seem to be more willing to listen to Elder Lu." A Lan said.
Ayu was a little surprised and said, "Why is this? Is there something wrong with Elder Jian?"
A Lan shook his head and said: "The problem is not Elder Jian, but Elder Lu. Because Elder Lu gave them benefits, otherwise how could they be willing to listen to him? It would be the same today, if it weren't for Elder Jian's status and mine.
With the sign in my hand, I believe that several elders have pinned me down in the ancestral hall and will not be able to come back."
"It seems that Elder Lu is very problematic. Is the clan in chaos now?" Ayu asked.
"It's okay, but today I saw that the clan is in disarray." A Lan said.
The two people talked as they walked and soon arrived at the front hall. The person they saw was indeed Elder Jian, so A-Lan walked forward quickly.
"Elder Jian, why are you here? If I had known you were coming, why don't you come back with me? It's not the elders of the clan who are putting you in trouble, right?" Ah Lan said.
"That's not true. I just haven't figured out some things and I plan to come over and ask for clarification. I think you will tell me the truth," Elder Jian said.
"What does Elder Jian want to know?" Alan asked.
Elder Jian noticed Ayu beside Alan and said with a smile: "Ayu is so old, it seems that I am really old."
"Elder Jian knows me?" Ayu asked in surprise.
"You were still young at that time, so you may not remember it. You and A-Lan both met me at that time," Elder Jian said.
"Elder Jian, do you mean that A-Lan and I have seen you in the clan?" A-yu asked.
"Yes, you and A-Lan have seen me in the clan, probably at the ancestral hall." Elder Jian said.
"It turns out that we have met before. I still remember that you were always elusive at that time. It's not easy to see you once." Ayu said.
After the three people exchanged greetings, Elder Jian solemnly said to Alan: "I came here today because I want to know what happened back then. I think you all know that I am used to being leisurely and rarely care about the affairs of the clan. I didn't expect that because of this,
They took advantage of the loophole. I want to know what happened to the three elders back then. I heard you mention the gold mine today, what happened back then?" Elder Jian asked.
It turned out that Elder Jian wanted to know what happened to the three elders back then, so he said to Elder Jian seriously: "Since Elder Jian wants to know, then I will tell you from beginning to end. This matter will be told after I return from my disappearance.
Starting...Originally I was just checking the accounts, thinking that the elders were plotting against Jin Yuzhai, but who knew they actually poisoned the wine because shopkeeper Jingtian didn't go along with them. Although what happened back then has passed, Jing
Shopkeeper Tian has also passed away, but this matter is always the fault of our Leng family. We need to give an explanation to Shopkeeper Jing’s family. However, after I handed over the matter to the clan, they took over the gold mine and did not deal with it.
The three elders. It’s just that the three elders don’t know that they are wrong. They even met with Shopkeeper Liu in private. I don’t know what else they want to do.”
