Chapter seven hundred and fourteenth not to worry about
Something happened in the tribe, and everyone who had attended the banquet crowded into Elder Hu's house.
Elder Hu and his tribe live near the Hada River. Both of his sons serve in the guard station and are quite famous among the Haixi tribe. Now something has happened to Elder Hu and he is lying in bed not knowing whether he is alive or dead. I am afraid that when the Hada River tribe knows the news
It's going to be a mess.
Patriarch Mo saw Elder Hu walking out of the house.
"How is the elder?" Motuo immediately stepped forward and asked.
Patriarch Mo said nothing.
"Do you need to say more?" Someone couldn't help but said, "With so much blood on the ground, people must have..."
Patriarch Mo was silent.
"Who is it? The most important thing now is to catch the person." The man stood up and spoke again, "The officials of the imperial court just came to Haixi and saw such a thing. The imperial court of Zhou Dynasty has been very dissatisfied with us in the past few years.
, I complained that there were too many fights in our clan, which made the guards miserable. I originally thought that Governor Song would go back and say a few good words for us, but now it seems..."
"What a shame you still think about these things," someone retorted, "The most important thing now is Elder Hu's life and death. Human life is not more important than anything else? If you still think about flattering the imperial court at this time, you will really disgrace your clan."
"What did you say."
The two of them were about to take action at the first sight.
"Okay," Patriarch Mo said, "Elder Hu's life or death is uncertain, and you are making a fuss. You are all very old. How can you face your descendants with such recklessness?"
The room suddenly became quiet.
"Clan leader," the steward walked forward quickly, "checked everyone in the clan, except... Mo Zheng came out, everyone else was there. Many clan members saw Mo Zheng leading people out of the clan, Mo Zheng
After Zheng left, others followed him out, and several of those people...were the guards outside Elder Hu's courtyard."
The steward's voice was not loud, and only Patriarch Mo and Mo Tuo could hear it clearly.
Motuo's expression suddenly changed.
"What is there that we cannot know?"
Seeing this situation, someone asked.
"Clan leader," said Elder Fan, who had been silent all this time, "this time Governor Song came to the clan, did he betray the party for King Jian?"
Hearing what Elder Fan said, the room became noisy again.
Elder Fan paused for a moment and said: "All the elders in the clan know that Mo Zheng's biological mother, Zhao, was executed by the clan leader. The clan leader suppressed the matter because he was afraid of being investigated by the Zhou court. We all know some of the dangers that the clan leader experienced.
Then Zhao is probably a member of King Jian's party, right?"
Elder Fan's words were like thunder exploding over everyone's heads.
Motuo gritted his teeth tightly and his eyes became darker.
Elder Fan said: "Chief, don't blame me for being meddlesome. Although I have guessed that there is something fishy here, I never said it out loud. After all, the affairs of the clan are decided by the clan leader. But it is different now. Such a big thing has happened in the clan.
I’m afraid it will be difficult to appease people’s hearts if the clan leader continues to conceal it.”
"Clan leader, is this true?"
"Zhao is a traitor to the party? Will it implicate us Haixi tribe? Isn't it possible that Dazhou will take the opportunity to attack Haixi?"
Elder Fan looked at Patriarch Mo again: "The steward came to speak just now, was he talking about the news about Mo Zheng? The people around me happened to see Mo Zheng having a conflict with the guards. Mo Zheng pushed the guards away and left on horseback. At that time, Cha Zhao
During the case, many elders here knew that people close to the Zhao family testified that Mo Zheng was not Mo Tuo's son... Could it be that the Zhao family left all their manpower to Mo Zheng."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a buzz of discussion in the room.
"In other words, Mo Zheng is a member of the Jianwang Party."
"There is really a traitor in our clan."
"I will bring Mo Zheng back," Mo Tuo said and looked at the crowd. "It is indeed his fault. Regardless of whether he is my son or not, I will punish him and give an explanation to my tribe. Otherwise, I, Mo Tuo, will die."
Apologize."
Elder Fan immediately said: "Don't act impulsively now. This matter is not trivial. If you fail to succeed, your life will really be at risk? You are the future leader of the clan, and it took a lot of effort to establish your prestige..."
"If that's the case, I don't have the guts to take over as the clan leader," Mo Tuo said, looking at clan leader Mo, "I will immediately take people to arrest Mo Zheng. Only by arresting the person can the case be clarified."
Patriarch Mo said nothing.
Motuo begged again: "Chief, please understand my thoughts."
Patriarch Mo looked at Mo Tuo with firm eyes. He would go there even if he disagreed with Mo Tuo: "Find Mo Zheng and come back as soon as possible. If there is no news, don't stop here. It's a time for the clan to employ people now. Don't be arrogant.
."
Motuo bowed and saluted, and strode away with the others.
"You don't have to worry," Patriarch Mo said, "Captain Song came here just to investigate the case. It's because of the arrival of the imperial personnel that the rebels panicked. As long as we cooperate with the imperial court, we will definitely catch the rebels.
"
Elder Fan said nothing more.
Everyone discussed Zhao's matter again and then left one after another.
Patriarch Mo leaned on the chair, his eyes still clear. He had to think carefully about the whole incident. One wrong step at this time would ruin the entire Haixi tribe.
…
"Elder Fan."
Several elders stepped forward to stop Elder Fan: "I think the old patriarch is not in good spirits. If something like this happens in the clan, if the patriarch cannot handle it, he may be restrained by others.
I heard that the Governor of the Song Dynasty came from the southeast and had moved a lot of rice and grain from northern Xinjiang before. Maybe he would take the opportunity to attack the Haixi tribe."
Elder Fan pondered and said: "The Governor of Song Dynasty first went to the Liaodong Governor's Office to discuss with Governor Ma. If something happens to us in Haixi, the Guards Office will be able to send troops to help."
"Send troops? Are you going to catch the rebels or attack us?"
The elders became more and more frightened as they listened.
"I don't believe in the people of the Zhou Dynasty. Even if we investigate, we should let our own people come. We also have our own manpower in the guard station, so why not mobilize our men and horses."
"Let someone go to the guard station to deliver a message to the Hu family. They will come with troops and horses, as well as Deputy General Fan."
Elder Fan hesitated slightly when he heard this: "You said you want to hide things from the clan leader? I'm afraid there is something wrong."
"We are also doing it for the Haixi tribe, and there are some things that we are reluctant to say. The chief of the tribe lost so many people in the tribe because he trusted An Yihou.
Now the Xu family is here again. There is a saying in Zhou Dynasty: if you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for any reason, I think the Xu family must have bad intentions, so we must take precautions."
Elder Fan still didn't speak.
"There is no need to hesitate any longer. For the sake of the people of the Haixi tribe, Elder Fan, please make a decision!"
Elder Fan finally nodded: "That's all we have to do."
Everyone went their separate ways. Elder Fan returned to the courtyard and immediately ordered the stewards around him: "Go and send a message to Deputy General Fan. Everything is ready and ask him to send troops immediately. Tonight, we must capture Governor Song and Mrs. Xu."
, as long as you kill them, the others won’t be a concern.”
He didn't believe that the Governor of the Song Dynasty still had three heads and six arms. When the time came, soldiers and horses from all ethnic groups gathered at the guard station, and he would definitely be trapped in it.
After this incident, Fan will take back the position of clan leader.
