Elder Qin's ability to confuse right and wrong is not small. Not only did he not admit that the gold mine incident was related to him, he also falsely accused the clan leader of being the mastermind.
But what A Lan just said has aroused the judgment of other tribesmen. They all see Elder Qin's actions in the tribe, and they can see that they are not wholeheartedly doing good to the tribe.
At this time, the tribesmen standing below were already whispering, discussing the conversation between Allan and Elder Qin. Some of them had doubts, believed Allan's words, and said to Elder Qin: "Elder Qin, we respect you, but we don't
Whatever you do on your behalf is right. We want to know what you said and whether what the boss just said is true?"
Elder Qin frowned slightly and said, "Should you think carefully about the reason why the head of the family came here? I see that he is instigating the relationship between us. He is not worthy of being the head of the Leng family at all.
How could you do such a thing?"
"Elder Qin, we also want to know whether the incident at the gold mine is true? You must know that three elders have killed a shopkeeper because of this incident. Because of the gold mine, you let the three of them go without punishment.
Yes. I know they are the Leng family, so naturally I will not really deal with them according to the clan rules. But if you had known about this more than ten years ago, then you should all be punished." Another clan member
He spoke.
"That's right, Elder Qin needs to give us an explanation. It turns out that all the elders have already reached a consensus, and we are the only ones who were kept in the dark." The first tribesman said.
"I have told you before that the three elders have also handed over the gold mine, and this matter has come to an end. I really don't understand why the master involved this matter?" Elder Qin said angrily.
"Elder Qin, there is no need to be so angry. I am just telling the truth. It was indeed three elders who discovered the gold mine, and they were worried that they would be discovered by the Leng family, so they immediately discussed it with several elders. They would
The profits were converted into silver through Jin Yuzhai, and then handed over to everyone. Unfortunately, the shopkeeper has been replaced, so you did not get the first payment of silver. Especially you, you have done so many wrong things without telling Elder Jian
." A Lan said.
"Elder must do something for the sake of the clan. Otherwise, how can you support these people in the clan just by relying on your business outside?" Elder Qin said.
"Your grandfather handed over the business to you when you were only five years old with just one word. At that time, the business was supported by the clan elders. Although the business was very stable, people were still worried. When the three elders discovered the gold mine, we came up with it
What's wrong with using this method to maintain the life of the clan?" Elder Jiang continued.
"If you really used the gold mine to support the Leng family, I would never use this matter to make an argument. But you didn't do that at all. The profit was very small that year, and I didn't see you taking out any money to help the Leng family tide over the difficulties.
.If it weren’t for the clan leader’s careful planning, he wouldn’t have been able to survive those few years.” A Lan said.
"What exactly do you want to do?" Elder Qin said nonchalantly.
"As the head of the family, I now order you to lock Elder Qin, Elder Jiang and ten others into a secret room before making a decision." A Lan said.
The tribesmen below were a little hesitant, but when they thought that they might have deceived the tribe, they immediately came to their senses and said to A-Lan, "Yes."
Soon, several tribesmen rushed forward, stopped Elder Qin and Elder Jiang, tied them up, and sent them to the secret room. Several other elders were also sent to the secret room one after another, and only the tribesmen were left in front of the ancestral hall. And everyone
The elder's family members did not dare to say anything more and could only let the clan members send their father to the secret room.
"Master, what happened back then?" the tribesman asked.
A Lan simply told the clan members what happened that year, and finally said: "The clan leader was threatened by Elder Qin and others because of this incident. Later, he knew that it was wrong to do so, so he planned to tell me. I didn't expect that the clan leader would be threatened by Elder Qin and others.
He poisoned people and almost lost his life. As an elder from a cold family, how could he do such a thing?"
"In other words, the three elders killed the shopkeeper because of the gold mine. Elder Qin and the others knew about it?" asked the tribesman.
"Yes, in fact, they knew it early on and kept it from Elder Jian. As soon as I came back this time, I started to investigate the accounts of the shops, and then I found that there were problems in several shops, but these had nothing to do with the elders. Finally, in Jinyu
A corpse was found in the wall of Jin Yuzhai's study room. The corpse was Jin Yuzhai's shopkeeper Jing. The current shopkeeper Jing was a fellow villager of the former shopkeeper. Because he defected to him, he became a clerk of Jin Yuzhai. The three elders discovered this clerk.
He wanted to use his secret to blackmail him..." Ah Lan simply told his tribe what happened back then.
He knew that these were not secrets. The more the clan members knew, the less trust they would have in the elders. The three elders did not repent and continued to meet with Shopkeeper Liu in private, not knowing what else they planned to do.
He has investigated the matter of Jin Yuzhai clearly. He checked the annual account books. Every month, someone comes to order the gold hairpins, but the silver price is the normal price. It seems that this year is the only one that is abnormal, but A Lan
You know, the ledger has been altered.
Customizing gold hairpins is just a cover. The money is not just the price of the gold hairpins. Even shopkeeper Jing doesn’t know where the money is going. He is just responsible for collecting the money and keeping accounts. Someone will come to collect the money at the end of every month.
Let's go. Shopkeeper Jing knows that he should be the elder.
Ah Lan knew that no one would take away the money this month, and it seemed that the three elders were definitely not willing to give up.
"Elder Qin said before that you dismissed four elders without any reason. We want to know if this is true." Another tribesman asked.
"These four elders proposed to leave the Leng family on their own. Seeing that they were unwilling to stay in the Leng family, I agreed to their request. Maybe I regretted it later, so my cousins took me to the elders' mansion. Now there are three
I have invited all the elders back, but I have not invited back Shopkeeper Liu." A Lan said.
Seeing that the clan members seemed to still have doubts, A Lan continued: "After shopkeeper Liu left the shop, he incited his shopkeepers to leave the shop. In order to stay in the Leng family, he listened to the third elder's instigation to poison other shopkeepers, which almost killed the shopkeeper.
Blind in both eyes. After the three elders were brought back to the clan, his affairs were naturally discovered. So, I refused him and returned to the Leng family to work. I never expected that the three elders left the clan unscathed.
, and even met with Shopkeeper Liu on the same day."
The tribesmen didn't ask any more questions because they were already very angry after hearing what A Lan said.
They didn't expect that the elders of the tribe actually deceived them, how could they not be angry?
"It turns out that when the three elders left the clan, they were not punished by clan rules?" the clansman asked in confusion.
"How could I lie to you? They met with Shopkeeper Liu the same day after they left. If they were punished, how could they have the energy to meet Shopkeeper Liu? Everyone knows how strict the clan rules are. If the clan rules are really enforced,
, how could you get off the carriage so easily?" A Lan said.
"When they left the clan, they were carried out. By the way, the three elders were carried out on stretchers. We saw it with our own eyes. It turned out that the elders let them go out like this in order to deceive us.
The elders really let us down," the tribesman said.
"Everyone, please rest assured. I have already made a plan to make the Leng family better and better. This time I called everyone not only to deal with the elders' matters, but also to tell everyone not to worry. There is something wrong with some of the elders.
, we will never tolerate it this time." A Lan said.
"We believe in the master's words. We have offended him many times before, and we hope that the master will not take it to heart." said the tribesman.
"We are still investigating the clan leader's poisoning, and we will definitely give an explanation to the clan leader when we get the news." A Lan said.
The matter in the clan has almost been resolved, but the elders still need to be re-elected. Several elders are locked in the secret room, and now the only ones missing are the three elders outside. In fact, A-Lan knew it well and arranged for someone to frame the grandson of the clan leader.
The person should be the three elders outside. Therefore, he said nothing about the investigation of that matter. He believed that the three elders would soon hear about today's incident. Presumably, they should take action next.
He must move faster than the elders.
A-Lan selected several elders, including the sons of previous elders. He wanted to distinguish between public and private matters. Some elders' eldest sons did have this ability, and he hoped they could remember this lesson.
After A-Lan left the clan, she returned to the Leng family.
As soon as he entered the small courtyard and took a sip of tea, a man in black suddenly appeared and handed A Lan a note.
A-Lan knew that the man in black belonged to Pluto, so he nodded and thanked her. The content on the note was related to the frame-up of the patriarch's direct grandson, and the woman had been found.
That woman was indeed from Yanyu Tower. She and Yan Fei were the top names in Yanyu Tower. After A-Lan burned the note, she went to Hades Mansion.
"It seems you have seen the note." Princess Pluto said.
"Yes, it turns out that the woman is really the girl from Yanyulou, and our investigation is in the right direction. But there is no evidence now, and we can't bring Zi Jian out to identify her," A Lan said.
"I have confirmed that the girl from Yanyu Tower is the woman whom Liangzi met. You should be very careful," Murong Xi said.
"I'm just worried that I've identified the wrong person. After all, it's midnight and it's hard for Zi Jian to see clearly. How can we be sure that this person is her?" A Lan said.
"Because Shopkeeper Liu has seen her, I think the three elders' sudden visit to the brothel will definitely arouse people's suspicion. However, if Shopkeeper Liu appears in Yanyu Tower, no one will notice. However, our people still discovered her and he went to see her.
There must be a reason for that woman. I am worried that he will poison that woman, so I have arranged for someone to protect her," Murong Xi said.
"They want to kill people and silence them?" Alan said.
"That's right, I think they already know about your visit to the clan today. Next, they will plan to silence you. Only by doing this, will they not be discovered. Even if they find clues, the woman will have disappeared long ago.
The jade is damaged." Murong Xi said.
"I just locked those elders into a secret room in the clan. At that time, I already suspected that the people who framed Zi Jian must be the three elders. Unexpectedly, Princess Pluto had already had a clue." A Lan said.
