Chapter 22: The Yao Family Conference
The rain and snow are thunderbolts, and the benefits are good.
The weather is gradually entering winter, and the sky of Qianlan City is gray at this time, and the rain is mixed with snow falling in dots, which makes the whole city a little more poetic.
It has been three days since Yao Hong and the others died, but the news has not spread, after all, a big man like Yao Hong usually does not show up often, and the ordinary people of Qianlan City may not be able to see each other a few times in their lifetime.
So everyone still continues with their daily lives, what to do.
The streets are not empty because of the weather, and the cries of hawking come and go, and people come and go, and they are still bustling.
However, in a huge courtyard in Qianlan City, a conference room was crowded with people, and everyone's expressions were unusually serious.
"The head of the family has disappeared for three days, what are you guys eating for, haven't you even found any clues until now?"
An angry old man broke the calm and slammed the table and shouted.
"The Great Elder also asks to calm his anger, the head of the family is a strong man in the Yuan Soul Realm, just ask who else in this Qianlan City besides the city lord Gu Qianlan can quietly kill the head of the family, and please don't be impatient. ”
At this time, another old man in black stood up and persuaded him.
"Yes, the Great Elder, and there is also the eldest young master who disappeared with the head of the family, I guess the head of the family may just take the young master out to practice. Another elder chimed in.
Everyone is arguing with you and me.
In short, there are two ideas, one is that the head of the family has encountered an accident, and the other is that the head of the family has taken Yao Hong out to run errands.
At this time, a woman dressed in grace and magnicity on the throne frowned.
Her face became a little impatient, and she screamed, "Enough, what's the use of you big men arguing about this here? The main thing now is to find my husband and son, not to discuss these things here for no reason." ”
When the crowd heard the woman's anger, they also fell silent instantly, and did not dare to say anything more.
After all, the Great Elder was the head of all the elders, and he could only stand up at this moment.
He arched his hand towards the woman and said, "Mastermother, what you said is also reasonable, but it is very likely that the family master and they have already left Qianlan City, otherwise, with the information of our Yao family, it is impossible for the two of them to be found by now." ”
Speaking of this, the Great Elder paused and continued: "Master Mother, and I guess that if the head of the family is taking the eldest young master with him, it should not go out to practice, after all, with the talent of the eldest young master..."
The Great Elder didn't continue, what he meant was believed that everyone could understand that Yao Hong was a notoriously wasteful in Qianlan City, indulging in wine all day long, wasting his time.
Yao Hong is also because of Yao Jie, an outstanding son, so he has always turned a blind eye to Yao Le and doesn't care about him, so how could the latter take him out to practice.
The woman was not angry, he also knew that his son was a waste, but he was his own flesh and blood anyway.
She frowned, looked at the Great Elder and said, "You mean they went out for something else, but why didn't my husband explain it to me before leaving?"
"Mastermother, this is the point, if the head of the family wants to travel far away in the past, he will definitely inform you and me, and let us manage the Yao family on our behalf, but this time the matter is too strange, so I even suspect that the two of them may really..."
Yao Tong continued to analyze, but in the end, he stopped, and he didn't dare to say anything before the matter was investigated, after all, Yao Hong was not so approachable on the surface, and his methods were cruel.
There was a hint of displeasure on the woman's face, but no one saw it, and her eyes flickered vaguely at that moment, and she was about to retort, but was interrupted by a hurried knock at the door.
The Great Elder looked at the woman, as if asking, the woman nodded with an angry face, these subordinates are really not the rules, don't you know that there is a meeting now?
After receiving the woman's approval, the Grand Elder looked at the guard guarding the door, who understood and opened the door to the conference room.
Then, a man in black rushed in, knelt on one knee, propped his right hand into a fist on the ground, lowered his head and said, "Blood Shadow Captain Yao Qiang has come to see all the adults, disturbing the meeting of the adults, please forgive me." ”
However, before the Great Elder Yao Tong could speak, the woman looked at Yao Qiang's eyes and flickered again.
She waved her hand, motioned for the former to get up, and took the lead in speaking: "Get up, did you hear the news of the head of the family?"
Yao Qiang, who was kneeling on the ground, smiled faintly, and then immediately straightened his face.
He stood up and clasped his hands into fists and said, "Yes, Master Mother, according to a report from one of our members of the Blood Shadow, three days ago, the head of the family appeared at the Yao family's auction house, and it seems that they entered Chen Tian's office to discuss something, and then the three of them left the auction house together, and no one knew their whereabouts anymore." ”
"Okay, this Chen Tian, I have long advised the head of the family that this Chen Tian has a problem, and he will never surrender willingly, but the head of the family just won't listen! Now I must not know where to be lured by Chen Tian to kill. The mistress said angrily.
However, the Great Elder looked at the main mother's face and flashed a trace of doubt, and then said: "Master mother, Chen Tian's strength is only one in the Yuan Soul Realm, and it is still weaker than my strength, but the head of the family is a strong person in the Yuan Soul Realm, how can he be hurt by Chen Tian?
But before the Great Elder could finish speaking, the Master Mother interrupted the former's words with an impatient face and said, "I naturally know these things. ”
Then he looked at Yao Qiang and continued: "In this way, Yao Qiang, you will be fully responsible for the next investigation, Chen Tian is a breakthrough, I believe that as long as you find him, you will be able to know the whereabouts of the head of the family." ”
"Yes. Hearing the arrangement of the master mother, the corners of Yao Qiang's mouth hooked a vague arc, and then turned around and left the conference room.
"Mastermother, I think Yao Qiang alone should be far from enough. The Great Elder frowned and stepped forward to question.
However, at this time, the second elder sitting opposite the Great Elder said lazily: "Great Elder, how can the master mother say that she is also the wife of the head of the family, the head of the family is not here, and the master mother is the acting patriarch, I am afraid that it is a little inappropriate for you to question her so frequently." ”
"You!" the Great Elder stretched out his trembling hand and pointed at the Second Elder, with a look of indignation.
"Okay, the Great Elder is also thinking about the Yao family, this master mother will not pursue it, this matter is so decided, you all have no opinion, right?" The master mother waved her hand and said, but her tone was irresistible.
The Great Elder watched the two of them sing and harmonize, and slowly shook his head in disappointment.
Then he got up and clasped his fists and said, "Master, I trespassed." I agree with my mother's arrangement, and if nothing happens, I will take my leave. ”
Then he didn't wait for the mistress to speak, snorted coldly and slammed the door and left.
The mistress sat on the upper seat, squinting at the back of the Great Elder's departure, not knowing what she was thinking.
Everyone also stood up at this moment, since even the Great Elder had no opinion, they naturally didn't dare to object to anything, and they all hugged their fists and said goodbye.
