In the afternoon of the second day, we visited Longdazhai.
In the meeting hall, except Elder Sang Mu, all other elders in the clan were present.
The hall was completely lonely, no one spoke or made a sound, and everyone's expressions were solemn.
An Huai stood in the middle of the hall, silently looking at the corpse in front of him, but his heart could not calm down for a long time.
The corpse is none other than An Huai's most trusted person, the chief guard of Youlong Dazhai, Lando!
"Who did this? Tell me quickly, who did this?"
Without any warning, An Huai exploded. He roared in pain and questioned the two clan soldiers who brought the body back.
Lando grew up with An Huai. Although An Huai sometimes scolded and blamed Lando, in his heart, Lando was his brother.
Now that his brother was killed, how could An Huai not be sad or angry?
The two clan soldiers stood at the door of the hall with their heads bowed. An Huai's sudden roar frightened the two of them, and they didn't know what to do for a moment.
At this time, An Huai no longer cared about dignity and status, and sat down next to Lando. Tears began to fall uncontrollably.
Behind him, Hanuo saw his grandson so sad, and his mood had already hit rock bottom.
However, Hanuo, as the leader of the Youlong Clan, naturally cannot show any gaffe.
Hanuo secretly took a deep breath, stared at the two clan soldiers with a stern face, and asked: "Tell me, who killed Lando?"
The more courageous of the two, Clan Soldier A, carefully replied: "Back to Elder Hanuo, actually we...we don't know who did it..."
After saying that, the clan soldier touched his companion. The companion was stunned for a moment, and then nodded quickly.
"What? I don't know?"
When Hanuo heard this answer, he was so angry that he immediately slapped his hand on the armrest of the chair.
The clan soldier was so frightened that he quickly explained: "Really! We really don't know. The guard captain led people on horseback to chase the murderer... We ran all the way and couldn't keep up. Wait for us...
.When we caught up, we only saw corpses all over the place. No one survived..."
After finishing speaking, Clan Soldier A touched his companion again, hoping that he could help explain a few words, but his companion was frightened into muteness and could only nod vigorously and could not speak a word.
An Huai, who was sitting in the center of the meeting hall, wiped away his tears, raised his head and asked the clan soldier: "Tell me the whole story right away, right now!"
"Yes yes... yes!"
Clan soldier Jia quickly agreed and truthfully told everything he knew about the incident, and then he lowered his head and did not dare to speak out.
After hearing this, An Huai turned around and said, "Grandpa, that old guy Sang Mu must have sent someone to do it. It must be him!"
Hanuo had a dark face and said nothing. Although he also suspected Sang Mu, judging from the narration of the clan soldier, there was not enough evidence.
"An Huai, how are you sure it was them?" Hanuo asked.
An Huai suddenly stood up and said angrily: "Grandpa, who else could it be if they weren't them? Lando took people to Yuntai Village to severely punish the rebels, and those punished were all members of the Sang Mu family.
, they must have had a grudge, so they retaliated, not only brutally killing Lando, but also many other tribesmen!"
After saying that, An Huai glanced around the hall with angry eyes and asked angrily: "Elders, do you think this is the case?"
The elders present immediately nodded in agreement and said yes.
An Huai immediately said: "Grandpa, you see, all the elders think so. Who else could it be besides that old guy Sang Mu?"
Hanuo felt that An Huai was too angry and uncool. After thinking about it, he said to everyone: "Today's discussion will end here first. Elders, please go back first!"
As if they had received an amnesty, all the elders quickly stood up and saluted Hanuo and An Huai to say goodbye, and then hurriedly left the meeting hall.
After the elders had all left, Hanuo said to the two clan soldiers: "You two, hurry up and send Lando's body back to his home, so that his family can take care of the funeral arrangements."
"Yes, Elder Hanuo."
The two clan soldiers immediately responded, walked quickly, picked up Lando's body, and hurriedly left the meeting hall.
As a result, An Huai and Hanuo were the only two people left in the meeting hall.
"Grandpa, I want revenge. I must avenge this revenge, absolutely!" An Huai was very excited, his chest heaved rapidly, and his face was red.
Hanuo frowned at An Huai and asked, "We have no evidence for Lando's death!"
An Huai shouted: "Evidence? It's so obvious, what more evidence do you need?"
Before Hanuo could speak, An Huai continued: "Let's not talk about what happened in Yuntai Village. Let's talk about the last time that old man Sang Mu invited other elders to go out for a gathering. Didn't he just want to unite with other elders?
Are the elders coming together to fight against us? If we hadn't warned them in advance to stop them, those old guys might have been planning some conspiracy with the Sang Mu family just now to deal with us!"
After listening to what An Huai said, Hanuo nodded slowly and continued: "But An Huai, no one saw that it was someone from Sang Mu who did it! Besides, with the strength of the Sang Mu family, who can do it?"
Lando's life was killed with a knife? Don't you think it's strange?"
An Huai said: "Grandpa, even if no one in the Sang Mu family can kill Lando, he can use deception or hire a powerful killer to do it! Think about it, besides the Sang Mu family, there are other people who can kill Lando.
Who would go against us or dare to go against us?"
Hanuo couldn't answer immediately. An Huai was right. In the Youlong clan, except for the Sangmu family, the other elders were unable to fight against him.
After a moment of silence, Hanuo spoke up: "But without evidence, it's hard to hold them accountable after all!"
An Huai's face hardened and he said in a deep voice: "Grandpa, it's not easy to find a few witnesses."
Hanuo couldn't help but was startled and asked: "An Huai, do you really want to create something out of nothing?"
An Huai's tone was ruthless, and he replied with a serious face: "Grandpa, this is a good opportunity to remove Sang Mu from his position as elder!"
"Hmm..." Hanuo immediately fell into deep thought.
It's not that Hanuo couldn't think of these ruthless means, it's just that the friendship that has been helping each other for many years still exists after all. Hanuo wants Sang Mu to understand the gap in family strength and retreat in spite of difficulties!
Who knew that the development of things would deviate greatly from what I thought.
An Huai did not press the question anxiously, but stood quietly in front of grandpa, waiting patiently...
After a long time, Hanuo finally thought about it. After sighing, he frowned and said to An Huai: "This matter...just do what you want!"
