For the Lin family, the sneak attack on the Fanjin Mine is, after all, a major event related to the rise and fall of the Lin family, so the patriarch and the elders did not sleep at night, they all gathered at the patriarch's house, waiting for the triumphant return of the group of assassins, of course, they were more curious, wanting to see what the legendary golden-blooded flea looked like?

Unfortunately, when they waited until dawn, the Assassins did not return, and their hearts full of excitement and anticipation slowly cooled down, and it seemed that something was wrong. But now that the sky is already dawning, it is not easy for them to send people to Fanjin Mine to investigate, so they can only wait hard, hoping that a miracle will happen.

As a result, the miracle did not come, but the messenger of the Shangyan Sect came.

As soon as everyone heard that the Shangyan Sect had sent someone to come, no matter whether the assassins succeeded or not, it was not a good sign, but since they came, the Lin family was also a famous family, and it was not easy not to see, so Lin Zhan stubbornly invited the messenger in.

As soon as the envoy entered the door, he saw that Lin Zhan's living room was full of people, all of whom were prominent figures of the Lin family, and the envoy knew that these people must be waiting for the assassin to return!

Although Shangyanzong took advantage of it at night, the envoy's face was still full of indignation, and he said when he entered the door: "Patriarch Lin, my Shangyanzong did not offend your Lin family, there was no grudge in the past, and there is no enmity in the near future, why did your Lin family send someone to attack my Fanjin mine?"

The hearts of the people sank, and it seemed that the matter had been revealed.

But now that it's dawn, they've prepared for the worst, and they're still discussing the matter just now, so they've already figured out their rhetoric!

Lin Zhan snorted coldly at this time and said, "Nonsense! When did my Lin family go to attack your family's Fanjin mine?"

The envoy said: "Last night, your Lin family sent more than 1,000 disciples, dressed in night clothes, to attack my Fanjin mine, fortunately, my Fanjin mine was heavily guarded, so all the criminals were killed, including the three elders of the nobles, and now the corpses are all lying on my Fanjin mine, the evidence is conclusive, what? The Lin family has the courage to do such an unseemly thing, don't you have the courage to admit it?"

When everyone heard this, they only felt their hearts fluttering, it was a thousand elites of their Lin family, including their three elders, who had been killed by them, which could be described as a heavy loss. But they did not doubt the words of the messenger at all, for it was true that none of the people they had sent out had returned, and even if one had returned, the situation would not have become so passive.

But they are all people who have experienced strong winds and waves, and it has come to this point, and it is useless to regret it, let alone admit it.

Lin Zhan was shocked: "What? Your Shangyan Sect actually killed someone from my Lin family?"

The envoy sneered and said, "Your Lin family attacked my Fanjin mine, don't we kill them?"

Lin Zhan feigned anger and said, "You fart! Your small broken mine, still need us to use thousands of people to sneak attack? We did send a thousand people last night, but they went out to explore the crystal ore, maybe they passed by your Fanjin mine, and you didn't ask to kill them indiscriminately?"

The envoy sneered again and said, "Prospecting for crystal mines? It's the first time I've heard of going to explore crystal mines in the middle of the night when I'm so old, and besides, do you need to wear night clothes to explore crystal mines? Don't you think it's ridiculous?"

An elder said, "We are happy, we can explore whenever we want, and we can see clearly at night, can't we? As for what clothes we wear, that is our hobby, and does it have anything to do with you? Is it just because we wear night clothes that you have a reason to kill our disciples? I see that the fancy and colorful clothes you are wearing today make me very unhappy, can I also use this as an excuse to kill you?"

The messenger said: "Last night, it was your disciple who took the initiative to attack my Fanjin mine, and we were forced to fight back. ”

The elder said: "You fart! Who in the whole world doesn't know that the people of my Lin family are the most kind, have always been good neighbors and friendly, and never take the initiative to cause trouble, how can they attack you for no reason? It is clear that you have deceived people too much, and you have killed all the disciples of my Lin family passing by, and now there is no proof of death, and you want to frame the blame, and your heart can be punished!"

The envoy had been mentally prepared before he came, knowing that the Lin family would definitely not admit that the reason why he came was to seize the moral high ground, and then call on the people of the world to criticize them. And then again, they didn't suffer last night, so they won't be unbalanced in their hearts, and they keep holding on to it. At this time, he said: "In other words, your Lin family doesn't admit it?"

The elder said: "Admit it! Don't think that you are justified when you came first, we must investigate this matter, and we will send someone to Fanjin Mine to investigate later, and we must seek justice for the children of the Lin family." You go back first. When we investigate clearly, we will have to settle accounts with you!"

The messenger said: "If you do too much injustice, you will be killed! Farewell!" he turned around and left, angry.

If it were in normal times, a small envoy would dare to humiliate so many of them Lin family's leading figures, then they would definitely be killed directly, it was too hateful, but now they have a weak heart after all. Although they were right, the ghosts didn't believe that their disciples wore night clothes and went out in the middle of the night just to explore the crystal ore, this feeling was like being caught and raped in bed, but they insisted that they came to repair the bed, and they took off their clothes to repair it, who would believe it?

When the messenger was gone, no one went out to deliver it.

After the messenger left, the hall suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked at each other with a heavy face. For so many years, the Lin family has never suffered such a big deflated, and thousands of elites were slaughtered overnight. Although they said that they would investigate and administer justice for the deceased, they were like a mirror in their hearts, and the investigation was just a trick.

After all, they are famous families, and all of them here are people with heads and faces, and they especially care about face.

An elder said with a heavy tone at this time: "Last night, the Fanjin mine was a trap!"

Another elder said, "Does this need to be said? This must be a trap." There are only 100 masters in Fanjin Mine in normal times, but they can wipe out thousands of us at night, and not a single one of them escapes, so the troops deployed by the other side will reach at least tens of thousands, otherwise it is impossible for no one to escape. They've laid a net, and they're waiting for us to get into it. ”

At this time, everyone moved their eyes to Lin Chaolu's face, and one of the elders said, "Chaolu, can you give us an explanation?"

Since dawn, because the sneak attackers have not returned, Lin Chaolu has been nervous, knowing that something is wrong, and when the messenger of Shangyanzong came, he told them that the thousands of people had been wiped out, and she also knew that the Fanjin mine last night was a trap at all. And she is to blame, because she is the most critical person in this trap.

Until this moment, she couldn't figure it out, how could Ye Wuduo calculate that they would sneak attack at night? Now that she thinks about it, she didn't show the slightest intention to attack at that time? Even when he said that he wanted her to marry him, she endured it at that time, and her attitude was very kind. Since the other party has deployed tens of thousands of troops, it is accurate that the Lin family will definitely go, to be honest, when she came back, she was not sure that the Lin family would go to a sneak attack at night, why could he be sure? The key is that this guy is not a smart person at all in their minds, how can he set up such a big game? But except for him, she has not been in contact with anyone else, which is really incredible!

Whether she can figure it out or not, it doesn't matter now, it was she who pushed the thousands of elites and the three elders into the fire pit, and in the face of the elders' questioning, she always had to give a reason. She was also so frightened that her face was like ashes, and she broke out in a cold sweat. At this time, he hurriedly said: "I ...... I...... I don't know. I did see golden-blooded fleas, how do I know they're going to sneak up? I didn't say anything. ”

The elder said, "The news was brought back by you, and you were in contact with the people of the Yan Sect at that time, if it weren't for you showing your feet, how could others suspect that we would go for a sneak attack?"

Lin Chaolu hurriedly said: "I didn't show my horse's feet, I didn't say anything, and when I was in the Fanjin Mine at that time, I didn't know that I was going to attack them at night, how could I show my horse's feet? Didn't you decide the plan to attack them? Later, I didn't go out at all, how can you blame me? And there were dozens of people who accompanied me at that time, you didn't believe my words, you can call them all over, they can prove for me, I didn't say anything." Although she said it eloquently, it was just like they had just played Lai Pi in front of the envoy of the Shangyan Sect, it was not convincing at all, after all, the sneak attack on the Fanjin Mine was quite secret, and in the whole plan, she alone had contact with the people of the Shangyan Sect, saying that it was not her leaking the news, no one would believe it. If it weren't for the fact that she was the granddaughter of the patriarch, the elder's words would definitely be even more ugly, and she would directly say that she betrayed the Lin family.

After all, this matter is too important, thousands of elites have died, and even the three elders have been put into it, it is impossible to end it like this, and someone must be responsible for this matter.

The elder didn't entangle with her anymore, but looked at Lin Zhan and said, "Patriarch, I think that Chaolu has an unshirkable responsibility for this matter!"

When Lin Chaolu heard this, her legs were so frightened that her legs were weak, if she hadn't sat on the chair, she would definitely have collapsed to the ground, she couldn't afford such a big responsibility alone.

Lin Zhanyin had a cold face, of course he also knew that his granddaughter had an unshirkable responsibility, if Lin Chaolu was not his granddaughter, he didn't have to wait for the elder to speak, and then dragged her out and beheaded her. But he only has such a precious granddaughter, how can he be willing to kill? But although he is the patriarch, he can't openly protect his shortcomings, after all, this matter is so bad that if he pretends that nothing has happened, he will not be able to convince the public in the future.

At this time, he said: "Chaolu is responsible, there is no doubt about this, but the responsibility cannot be counted on her alone, after all, she just brought back the news of the golden blood flea, not that she decided to send someone to sneak attack, it is me and everyone here who really decides this matter, don't you have responsibility?"

In fact, the matter of the sneak attack on Fanjin Mine was brought up by Lin Chaolu, and she also instigated Lin Zhan, but at this time, Lin Zhan would definitely not say it, and could only share the responsibility on everyone's heads, otherwise if he said such a thing, Lin Chaolu would definitely die.

When Lin Chaolu heard her grandfather say this, she felt very reasonable, as if she had really been wronged, and hurriedly echoed: "Yes, yes, it's really none of my business, I just brought a message back, and it's not fake news, they really have golden-blooded fleas, but I didn't let you sneak attack them, and now that the sneak attack has failed, you can't put the blame on my head." ”

The elder was a little unhappy, although in their impressions, the idea of a sneak attack was not proposed by her, but it was she who fanned the flames yesterday, saying that only hundreds of masters in the Fanjin Mine would let them be so hasty and rash as easily. Then he said: "Patriarch, that is to say, Chaolu does not have any responsibility, and the responsibility is on our heads?"

Another elder said, "It's unfair for the patriarch to protect his granddaughter like this, isn't it? ”

Another elder said, "I also feel that this will make the third child die in an unknown way." ”

If it was someone else who died, these elders would turn a blind eye to the patriarch's face, and share the responsibility casually, and the matter would pass. But because the three elders are the most popular among the elders, his death makes these elders feel extremely sad, and it feels that Lin Chaolu has harmed the three elders, if it weren't for her, how could the three elders die?

Lin Zhan also felt a headache and said: "I'm not saying that my granddaughter is not responsible, I just said that you can't put all the responsibility on her head, don't you have responsibility? The matter of the sneak attack on the Fanjin Mine was agreed by all of you yesterday, this is the matter of the entire Lin family, if this matter is successful, it will also benefit the entire Lin family." Now that you have failed, you have put all the blame on my granddaughter, don't you think it's too much?"

The elder said: "But we made the plan based on the information revealed by Chaolu, it was she who swore yesterday that there are only hundreds of masters in the Fanjin mine, and she also said that there are gold-blooded fleas in the Fanjin mine, but we didn't see it! And they set up an ambush, so they must know that we will go to the sneak attack, why would they be sure? Only Chaolu has been in contact with them, where is the responsibility for this matter? It is already self-evident." ”
