Chapter 924: Start Configuring the Antidote
However, Fujiwara Daishi did not wait for the old people on both sides to react, so he said to himself: "I think, those three people are here for ...... Demon Knife!"
Almost as soon as the words fell, the old people on both sides of the long table got up at the same time, their eyes were full of shock, and they looked at Fujiwara Daishi neatly.
After a while, the old man, who had spoken most positively, said with an ugly face: "Are you suspicious that one of us has leaked the news?"
Although Fujiwara Daishi is a contemporary clan leader, when he faces so many questioning eyes that are higher than his generation at one time, he still has to choose to back down and say: "Don't dare, I'm just providing a possibility, seniors, please stop your anger." ”
Everyone's faces softened slightly, and Fujiwara Daishi, as the current clan leader, had already made a gesture, so naturally there was no way to continue the investigation, so they had to sit back one by one.
It's just that after Fujiwara Daishi's words, the atmosphere in the field became a little wrong, and there was no sound at all, which seemed very weird.
After being silent for a long time, the old man looked at Fujiwara Daishi, took a deep breath and said, "You can say that, it must not be for no reason, right?"
Fujiwara Daishi chuckled: "I just made an assumption based on what you just said, and there is nothing to corroborate." ”
"It's okay!"
The old man waved his hand lightly: "Even if you are too careful, it is much better than negligence, you still have your opinion." ”
Looking around, Fujiwara Daishi saw that no one raised an objection, so he got up and said, "Since this is the case, then I will say what I think, and you can point out any shortcomings at any time." ”
After speaking, Fujiwara Daishi organized his language a little and said: "If the identities of those three people are not lost tourists, it is impossible for them to come here by mistake, then based on this speculation, the range of possibilities will be greatly reduced." ”
"Just now everyone agreed that those three people were not officially sent, so since they are not official, and we are in the middle of nowhere, what reason is there for those three to stay here?"
While speaking, Fujiwara Daishi was also paying attention to the reactions of everyone in the field, but judging from the feedback, everyone's faces were not good-looking, and no one raised any meaning during the period.
"Of course, it may be that I thought too much, and those three people may have passed by here by chance for some other reason, and then they became interested in staying here for a few days. ”
Fujiwara Daishi said with a solemn expression: "After all, there are not a few such people now, and it is not worth making too much fuss!"
After saying that, the scene was still silent, but the speculation behind was obviously not taken seriously, but if it was said that Xiao Tian and his party were here for the demon knife in the ancient well, it would be tantamount to admitting the fact that there was a mole in the field.
For a while, no matter what everyone said, they felt more and more like sitting on pins and needles, like there were nails on the stool under the buttocks, and how to sit and feel very uncomfortable.
However, after a while, it was the old man who spoke first: "Although there are some things I should not say, and I have no reasonable identity to say them, I have to use your father's brother, your uncle, to talk to you." ”
Fujiwara sat upright, his hands on top of his legs, and looked like a good student who was humbly ready to listen to his teachings.
The old man paused for a moment and said in a deep voice: "What you just said sounds very contradictory, you can see that you should know it in your heart, but you are afraid of offending us people, so you retreated and said those words." ”
"But I can assure you that at least until then, the news of the Demon Knife has not been heard from anyone of us present. ”
The old man's gaze was calm and sincere, combined with that very determined tone, and his status as the oldest elder in the field, his words were naturally very convincing!
Fujiwara Daishi shook his head and said in a low voice: "This, I really can't do well." ”
The old man shook his head: "At least what you said just now also gave us old guys a wake-up call, and we should be stricter in the future, once the news of the demon knife is revealed, we will not be able to run away from responsibility." ”
Everyone nodded slowly, acknowledging the old man's words, and promised that they would never forget the oath they had made before the ancestral tablet.
The old man, who turned this over in a few words, looked at Fujiwara Daishi, who was obviously unable to preside over the meeting, so he had to stand up and take the responsibility for his nephew, and said: "Anyway, judging from the fact that those three people are as if nothing happened under the pressure of the Star Staff, they obviously do not belong to ordinary ordinary people. ”
"So, let's ask the old brothers to pay more attention, and I don't need to say more about the truth that there is no big mistake in being careful, right?"
The crowd exchanged glances with each other, then nodded in agreement.
……
On the other side, Xiao Tian and the other three were sitting in the small courtyard and chatting enthusiastically, laughing happily from time to time.
Suddenly, as if thinking of something, Xiao Tian asked the cheerful Xiang Yiting who was smiling, "Why did you say that we were lost students just now?"
This question really made him unable to figure it out, if there was really some kind of scheme, it would be fine, but there was no need to lie, Xiang Yiting's statement at that time was indeed a little strange.
Xiang Yiting heard Xiao Tian's question, slightly restrained her smile, and explained: "It's normal for you to have this kind of question if you don't know the situation here, like this situation where everyone in a village is a clan, in fact, it is very exclusive of outsiders, especially official people. ”
"Why?" Xiao Tian asked.
"Because once the village is zoned as a development area, although a large amount of compensation can be obtained, there will inevitably be a lot of outsiders, and the ruling power of the clan will be greatly weakened, and it will slowly be imperceptibly turned into a plate of scattered sand!"
Xiang Yiting explained in detail: "Generally speaking, this is directly related to the patriarch of the clan, and it is impossible for those who are old and have more power to speak to allow this to happen." ”
Xiao Tian nodded a little knowingly, not knowing that Xiang Yiting's words had aroused the suspicion of the Fujiwara family at this time.
……
In the afternoon, Xiao Tian prepared everything for the prescription, and took it to the courtyard at night, and quietly began to prepare it.
At the invitation of Fujiwara Daishi, the three of them went to his residence for dinner, and they were inevitably tempted during the banquet, but since Xiang Yiting had already said it, Xiao Tian could only see the tricks and give perfect answers to one question after another.
Back in the courtyard again, the time was already about nine o'clock in the evening, and the residents of the village began to close their doors and rest, and the whole village was silent, quiet like an empty city.
But this is exactly in line with Xiao Tian's needs, the more no one notices, the better!
While Xiang Yiting and Addison Claire were asleep, Xiao Tian also started to act......
