Ruo Ao Tan, who was standing on the door, hurriedly withdrew his gaze looking at the golden plaque, and followed the sound to the lobby, only to see that although there were countless candles hanging on Chu Zhong Hall, there were still some corners of the entire hall that were dim and unknown during the day.

In such a semi-darkness, the first person of the Ruo Ao clan sitting at the highest place was wrapped in a black five-tailed phoenix court robe, his figure and complexion merged with the dim height where he was, but it was like a cornerstone standing on this hall.

As long as he is there, the hall will not move.

Ling Yin Zi has been sitting quietly at the top.

Ruo Ziliang, as the eldest brother, stood beside him and kept admitting his mistake to him, "Zi, this matter is because of my selfish desires, which caused my Ruo Ao clan to suffer great humiliation...... If the king needs an explanation, I will give it to you. ”

In the face of Ruo Ao Ziliang's self-blame, Ling Yin Ziban didn't say much.

What is more important now is how to deal with the next changes in the situation within the Great Chu.

If Ao Zike was dismissed from his post and Lao Situ was sentenced to be beheaded after the autumn, two important departments would suddenly be vacated in the DPRK and China: the Criminal Prison Department and the Situ Mansion. Not only that, but the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses will also be redivided into snobbery because of Situ Nan's complete downfall, and those who previously supported Situ Nan's line will inevitably be excluded, how can he control the important military forces through Liu Yi's hands. Although Chen Huang's promotion is a consolation to the Cheng family, it also means that the Cheng family has more and more important functional departments, and the weight in the king's heart is getting heavier and heavier, and the support of the people and the princess for the Cheng family makes the Cheng family really start to fight against them politically.

After a long time, he raised his hand and said, "Big brother, this matter is negligent on my part as the head of the family, and I actually let a few of their juniors join forces to do such a big thing under our noses, and these punishments will be discussed later!"

Ling Yin Zi's failure to pursue made Ruo Ao Ziliang even more guilty, he nodded and said, "Second brother, you can deal with it impartially!"

When the words fell, the voice of a woman from the Zhao family sounded in this Chu Zhongtang, and I saw her get up and step forward and said, "Uncle, second uncle, since you say so, although the third brother and sister are a woman, I also want to talk about my personal opinion! ”

"We think the king's judgment is unfair!"

Ruo Ao Zixing was stared at by the Zhao family, so he had to step forward and stammered, "Big brother, our Ke'er is now lying on the bed, and the doctor said that he is afraid that he will lose half of his life...... In addition, in the future, won't Ke'er's future be ruined in this case?...... What a grievance!"

When Zhao thought of his son being carried back covered in blood, he immediately burst into tears and said distressedly, "The king can be frank, but if I don't deal with this matter strictly, how can I still be upright in the future?

"The king is sick and unconscious, but second uncle, as Ling Yin, you are the head of my Ruo Ao family, you can't pretend to be unconscious, otherwise wouldn't you sit back and watch my Ruo Ao's 300-year foundation be ruined?"

When the rest of the concubines heard this, they all pulled her and persuaded her, saying that Lord Ling Yin would definitely make the decision for her.

Ling Yin Zi sat on it, facing these Zhao clans who were still concerned about the interests of the three rooms and one room, he resolutely shouted, "King, how can you be evaluated by a woman? ”

Immediately, someone rushed into the hall and wanted to invite the Zhao family out, but if Ao Ziliang didn't want to be embarrassed, he stopped everyone.

He said loudly, "Third brother and sister, today Ke'er is implicated by it, all because of my big house, as the boss, I should give an explanation to each room, and these 50,000 slaves will also be borne by my big house!"

But the big hand clenched the sleeve tightly.

Trembling slightly.

But the Zhao family, who has always been competitive and competitive, but this time the sister-in-law suffered such a big loss, still did not follow, "Uncles and concubines, how willing do you call me Zhao Rui?"

If you haven't forgotten, please remember it!

Ancestor Ziwen had a last sentence when he was dying: Jiao'er, born like a tiger and a wolf, must have the heart of a wolf, if you don't kill, if I Ao's death is coming.

On that day, we took pity on his young son for his weakness, and did not drown him according to the last words of our ancestors, and today this is true!

He kept 50,000 slaves privately, dare to ask what his intentions are?

Now for the sake of these 50,000 slaves, my whole clan will compensate the king with the soldiers of the six tribes of Ruo Ao 50,000 slaves, protect his future with the future of my family Ke'er, and even drag my Ruo Ao clan into the water.

The king didn't ask, and even praised his loyalty to the king.

Shouldn't we ask the Ao clan and let him give us an explanation, why did these 50,000 people hide from us so hard and affect the whole clan?"

Zhao's words go straight to the core.

Everyone was also wondering why Yue Jiao kept 50,000 slaves privately, and there was a sudden silence in the hall.

If Ao Ziliang heard this, he didn't know how to answer Zhao's repeated questions.

Back then, he repeatedly promised that he would teach Jiao'er to become a child who contributed to the family, but today Yue Jiao is trapped in the situation of disloyalty, injustice and unbelief of the Ao family, and even he deceived the son in order to protect him, and sued the princess.

Seeing his expression, Lu Shi, who was sitting next to him, turned his face silently and sneered slightly.

If he was really willing to kill, he wouldn't have killed just a small commander last time, knowing that there was something wrong with Situ Nan's car accident, he asked them to testify, and even today he joined forces with the ministers to sue the princess for false accusations.

I saw Lu Shi leaning on her place, and said indifferently, "The third sister also remembered this old incident when she talked about it. As soon as Jiao'er was born, Taizu held it in his arms and looked at it, saying that he wanted to drown, and it was the old man who desperately guaranteed that Jiao'er would not mess with my Ruo Ao's foundation, but now what the old man said was not good, but it affected my Ruo Ao's century-old reputation. ”

When the words fell, Lu Shi took Ruo Ao Ziliang's arm and persuaded, "Don't blame me for saying this, I just hope that my lord will focus on my big house, after all, we have more than one heir."

If it is for Jiao'er's fault and gives everything he has, what will our sister-in-law Wei'er do in the future?...

And in this case, the son of the Situ family, Ke'er was dragged into the water in vain, and now it's okay, he is okay alone, but the Situ family is going to die, and Ke'er is also a pity, and it is not easy to resume his position as the secretary of the division this year, and now the whole future is in it......

I'm afraid that now all the families are dissatisfied with me, I'm afraid that if the Ao family is concerned, the master will not only have to give an explanation to each room, but also to each family. ”

While everyone in the hall was noisy, someone came to report that several wives of the Situ family were mourning and crying outside the mansion, asking them to pay for the lives of their lord and son.

The housekeeper of the big house had not yet received Ling Yin's order, so he ordered someone to go out to deal with it.

Ruo Ao Tan stood on the door and listened for a long time, then looked at the people who came in and out, and said to the housekeeper in the second room beside him, "What is the matter with this homeless case, 50,000 slaves? How can you implicate all the Situ family? and how can you put the future of my Ruo Ao family and Ke'er into it?......"

Although he had heard about the case when he entered the city, he was still a little puzzled.

"This ...... The old slave didn't dare to say ......"

The housekeeper in the second room squeaked and didn't know how to answer.

It was a matter between the three rooms, and he was afraid that one would not answer well and annoy the two eldest masters and the third lady.

At this critical time, add fuel to the fire.

If Ao Tan heard this sentence, he couldn't help but feel a tight heart, the golden plaque of the ancestral hall that was burned a few days ago, and the scene of the golden plaque of Chu Zhongtang that was stained today are vivid.

Give him a bad premonition.

So in a trance, he walked into the glorious hall of the huge golden wall, and greeted the noisy clansmen in the hall, "Zi Pan, Zi Liang...... What is the matter with this case of exiles, that he took away his position and had to pay compensation to 50,000 slaves?"

Ling Yin Zi sat on the top, and when he heard the prestige, he immediately ordered the housekeeper to invite him inside, sat in the position of the original third grandfather, and asked, "Why did the clan uncle suddenly go to Beijing at this time?"

Hearing this, Ruo Ao Tan sat down on Ling Yin's head, raised his sleeves and cried, "Ziban, it's my fault...... It's because I didn't protect my Ruo Ao clan's ancestral hall and let it be burned!"

"What, the ancestral hall was burned?"

"When did this happen?"

"Who dares to offend me, if the Ao Clan?......'s Centennial Ancestral Hall?

During the banquet, everyone suddenly let out an exclamation, sat up in shock, looked at Ruo Ao and asked again and again.

"Not only that, the princess and Cheng Youtu visited our Ruo Ao clan tomb half a month ago, but they were assassinated and sheltered in my Ruo Ao clan's ancestral hall, but that gang of gangsters was extremely unscrupulous, and actually set fire to my ancestral hall, and the golden plaque made by King Wu was burned by them in this way...... "Ruo Ao Tan said that he hid his face and cried bitterly at the end.

This is the immortal foundation of the Ruo Ao clan, but it was destroyed by the gangsters, what kind of face does he have as a clan elder to meet the ancestors.

The clansmen of the Ruo Ao clan suddenly felt a kind of sadness coming from it.

The lady was stabbed?

The ancestral hall was burned?

The gold plaque was destroyed?

……

Everything was fine, but why did so many things happen all at once? And this homeless case......

Ruo Ao Ziliang's eyes were closed, his face turned pale, his lips trembled, and then he who wanted to help his uncle Ruo Ao to talk about him fell back to his position, and he was already incoherent, "Golden plaque...... Burned?...... How could this be?...... If I have a 300-year foundation for the Ao clan, how can anyone dare to burn it?......"

"Yes, Uncle Cousin!"

Ruo Ao Ziyong suddenly stepped forward to support the startled Ruo Ao Ziliang, also wiped a handful of tears, knelt down at the bottom of the stairs and replied, "More than 20 days ago, more than 100 gangsters committed murder, first rushing to kill my Jingling County Yin Mansion, and then leading people to follow the little nephew and princess all the way to the ancestral hall on the top of the mountain, and then ...... Then, when he saw that the lady could not escape, he besieged us with fire...... We tried our best to put out the fire, but only the ancestral hall was saved, and the golden plaque made by King Wu was burned...... Uncle Lobby, Uncle Lobby, what should I do if I am Ao?"

"I beg my cousins to make decisions for us!"

When the words fell, Ruo Ziyong knelt down and cried.

"My Ruo Ao clan's ancestral hall has always been worshiped by the world, and it is the symbol of my Ruo Ao clan, how can anyone dare to do this? And if the princess was not in the eastern suburbs at that time, how could she go to Jingling and be assassinated again?......

Yin Ziban couldn't accept this big news for a while, and asked again and again.

According to the right disciple and the princess, they went to Jingling to transport supplies in the eastern suburbs, but they found that gangsters were following them on the way...... chased all the way to my Jingling County Mansion, and finally burned the ancestral hall and forced them to show up...... The nephew is not filial, and he only protects the safety of the princess and the ancestral hall to the death, but he lets those villains escape...... "If Ao Ziyong knelt at the bottom of the stairs and cried and pleaded for the crime.

"Please punish Uncle Cousin!"

"Who is so bold as to dare to assassinate the princess, and actually assassinate me Ruo Ao's realm?"

"In this Chu country, no one has the courage to do this, could it be that our own people in our clan are familiar with the way and broke in by themselves?"

Zhao's words fell, his eyes wandered, and he pointed to the rooms in the hall, who would benefit the most if the lady in the second room died? Naturally, it was the other rooms, and this kind of thing, they didn't do it in the third room, the fourth room was far away in Shouchun, and the rest of the partial rooms did not benefit much-that was only the big room.

Somehow, she thought of the person who started today's events......

Her big nephew: Yue Jiao.

Isn't it him again!

Yue Jiao has not dealt with Ziyan since he was a child, so he took the opportunity of Ziyan to go north and wanted the lives of his wife and children.

Zhao was scared when he thought of this, and he didn't say anything about the rest of the words, let everyone guess for themselves, but he suddenly felt cold hands and feet, it was really ruthless!

When Mrs. Wang heard this, she fainted on the spot, and was awakened by Wang's mother pressing her temples, leaning on her body and asking again and again, "How can anyone want to kill my grandson and daughter-in-law?......?"

"Second aunt, the little nephew doesn't know, but that group of people has been chasing and killing the princess, and the killer has been killed three times and twice in Jingling County, even if the princess is in the little nephew's house, they are also bold and dare to break in and kill people, and the people in my mansion are almost dead that night......"

Ruo Ziyong said that at the end, he crawled under Ling Yin's body and cried, "Please Uncle Cousin must catch the real murderer, otherwise if he still does not give up, the princess and the little prince will be in danger! ”

"But why didn't the lady mention it to us after she came back?"

"Maybe the lady doesn't want Madame and Ling Yin to worry about her. ”

But the tea cup in Mrs. Wang's hand was shattered, and the sound of sorrow sounded in the hall, "But if Yan'er comes back, how should I, a mother, explain to him, he repeatedly explained to me before leaving, the princess has no mother since she was a child, and she lives in the palace alone, so she is afraid that no one will take care of her, so she asks me to take care of it." ”

Ruo Aoxue looked at Mrs. Wang's pale face, took her hand and said, "Mother, isn't my sister-in-law doing well now?"

Ruo Ao Yu looked at her like this, and said with slight disgust, "Xue'er, are you really naïve or fake naïve, don't you know what it means for your sister-in-law to be assassinated?"

"My sister-in-law is the most powerful woman in Quanchu, and they naturally can't hurt her in the slightest, why should I worry?" Ruo Aoxue snorted slightly.

Mrs. Wang looked at Ruo Ao Xue's clear eyes with a pale face, innocent, her pink lips pursed slightly, raised her hand to brush a few wisps of floating sea for her, and finally looked out of the hall with tears, looking farther north, wanting to see where Ruo Ao Ziyan was now, but in the end she only saw a dark cloud coming, and then suddenly rushed out of Chu Zhongtang regardless of her sideburns.

"No...... The mother is going to enter the palace now to see if Yan'er's wife is okay until the child is born safely. ”

If Ao Xue saw this, she could only follow in broken steps, "Mother, then I'll go into the palace with you to see my sister-in-law......"

"Uh-huh, let's go into the palace. ”

Several ladies and concubines followed and persuaded each other, and in the end, they could only arrange for someone to send them into the palace, and a series of midwives who were born with children prepared early in the morning, and all kinds of maids were arranged by Wang's mother after her and then sent to the palace.
