Chapter 477: Knowing the Times
In fact, at this time, Second Uncle Shu already believed that the eldest brother was really separated from them forever, just like the leader of the guard said, there were twelve of them, if it was really them who assassinated the eldest brother, as long as one person was not tight, it would affect everyone.

These people have no lifelong friendship, why do they join forces to assassinate his eldest brother? As long as the slightest piece of information leaks, it will be a catastrophe.
What's more, since he assassinated his eldest brother and returned to the Hou Mansion without fear, this courage is too big, the eldest brother is their master, once their evil deeds are accidentally exposed, they will implicate their families, why bother?
The words of the sister-in-law and the mother were just anger filling their minds, and they didn't want to believe this fact, so they didn't choose what to say.
So even if he didn't want to admit it, Second Uncle Shu had to believe intellectually that the eldest brother was indeed dead, but how did he die? Didn't the eldest brother go to the ancestral land to deal with things? How could he be killed by lightning?
Could it be that the eldest brother did something to make the ancestors dissatisfied? Apparitions in the ancestral land?
Second Uncle Shu shook off the absurd thoughts that appeared in his mind, his eldest brother is filial to his parents, loves his wife, loves his brothers, loves his children, and is loyal to his duties, he is a rare good character in this world, how can he anger the ancestors? When the ancestors saw such descendants, it was too late to be relieved, how could they let the eldest brother encounter an accident?
"Didn't the eldest brother go to the ancestral land to deal with things? Why didn't the people from the ancestral land come back with you? ”
Second Uncle Shu looked at the leader of the guards suspiciously and dissatisfied, his face changed drastically, and his voice raised a lot, "Did the people over there do something to the eldest brother?" Big brother will become like this, is it the people over there who did it? ”
Mei's face changed suddenly, she knew that Hou Ye went out to find Qinglong Xiangrui, but Hou Ye was too anxious to go out, and he didn't tell her the specifics of the matter, he only knew the purpose of his trip.
Hou Ye is such a big person, and there are so many guards around him, he doesn't need to do it himself, even if he can't find Qinglong Xiangrui, there will be no danger, only show the identity of Guangping Hou, how many people outside the capital dare to be disrespectful to him?
The eldest son is a member of the Zhongshu House, and the eldest daughter is the concubine of the fifth prince of the dynasty, as the father of the two, he does not look at the face of the monk and looks at the face of the Buddha, just to not offend Shu Hongxuan and Shu Yanhua, and he will not be disrespectful to the Hou Ye.
I thought that not only could I turn over this time, but the day I returned home was the time of a very human minister, but I didn't expect to wait for bad news, Mei's intestines were cleared, and I knew that today, she would definitely not let Hou Ye go out.
Following Shu Hongxuan to the clear paper in the front yard, he trembled all over, and when he heard that Hou Ye had encountered an accident, his heart was full of panic and fear.
Hou Ye will go out because of his whistleblowing, no matter how Hou Ye encounters accidents, if he doesn't go out, Hou Ye will be in the house well, and it will be fine. He only prayed now that Hou Ye was not because of his words, and even more prayed that no one in the mansion knew that it was his words that let Hou Ye go out, otherwise even if he had nine lives, it would not be enough to accompany him to the funeral.
Inadvertently glanced at the old lady, and was so frightened by the old lady's cruel eyes that his legs and stomach were trembling, his face was pale, and he lowered his head, praying to God and worshiping Buddha in his heart This matter has nothing to do with him.
When Guan Shi heard his son's words, his face turned red, and he scolded: "Those beasts with no conscience! For the sake of the family's prosperity for a hundred years, Ah He will travel thousands of miles to solve problems for the ancestors, and those wolf-hearted people dare to poison my son! I want them not to die well! I want them to bury my son! ”
Guan's voice was full of resentment, her face was full of bitter hatred, her eldest son had encountered such an accident when he went out on a long trip, if it wasn't for the hatred in her heart, she would have fainted.
A hint of embarrassment flashed on the face of the leader of the guards, now the eyes of the whole audience were focused on him, his every move could not escape the gaze of others, such an obvious change in expression, how could he hide it?
Second Uncle Shu shouted angrily: "Say! Did someone from the ancestral land do it to my eldest brother? ”
If that's the case, even if it's the same clan, he won't let those people go!
The leader of the guards couldn't, so he could only bite the bullet and tell the truth, "Master Hou, he...... Didn't go to the ancestral land. ”
What the?
As soon as the guard leader's words came out, even the fire-breathing Guan clan was also stunned, and then grabbed the teacup on the table at hand and threw it at the guard leader, "Full of nonsense!" What do you have in mind? Hou Ye obviously went to the ancestral land to deal with the burial of the ancestors, did the people over there buy you and let you cover up their crimes for them? ”
The leader of the guards didn't dare to dodge, and the teacup smashed directly on him, splashing him with water, and the teacup rolled to the ground.
"Back to the old lady's words, the little one didn't lie, and after the Hou Ye took us out, he didn't go to the ancestral land." The leader of the guard knew that his words would not be believed, but he was telling the truth.
"Don't go to the ancestral land? Then tell me, where did Master Hou take you to, and where did you encounter accidents. Guan looked at the leader of the guards coldly, clearly not believing him.
The leader of the guards said in a deep voice: "Hou Ye took us to Shouchun County, Huainan Province, where we were ...... by the thunder in that small mountain village."
The next words, the leader of the guard didn't say any more, and said: "Master Hou took us out, it seemed that we were looking for something in that small mountain village, we were looking for it that day, and it happened to rain heavily, and we didn't have time to hide from the rain, and we encountered lightning and thunder......
As for what Hou Ye wanted to find, Hou Ye didn't tell us, but just asked us to dig three feet into the ground, and as long as we dug something, we had to show it to Hou Ye. ”
When the leader of the guards said this, he glanced at the eldest young master out of the corner of his eye, and found that the eldest young master's eyebrows did not move at all, even if he heard the three words of Shouchun County, he did not react, he sighed deeply in his heart, knowing that he was right.
Hou Ye died, and there was no one else in the Hou Mansion except for the inheritance of the eldest young master, whether they wanted to escape the culpability in this crime or make a living in the Hou Mansion in the future, they could not offend the eldest young master.
In fact, what he said was true, Hou Ye really didn't tell them what they were looking for, and it did rain that night, there was nothing wrong, he just concealed that the place was guarded by the eldest young master's grandfather's family, Hou Ye wanted to steal the Yan family's things, and everything he said was true, but after he said this, there was no matter of the Yan family, and there was no matter of the eldest young master.
This rhetoric was discussed by their group of people before they came back, and they could all think that as soon as the Hou Ye died, the mansion would be the world of the eldest young master, and not to mention the affairs of the Yan family, wouldn't it lead to discord between the old lady and the eldest lady and the eldest young master?
Originally, Hou Ye didn't do this authentically, so why did they want to be this wicked person? The eldest young master and the old lady are a family after all, where is the overnight feud in the family, after a period of time, they are reconciled as before, thinking of their words, thinking that they are provoking the feelings of their ancestors and grandchildren, and it is not them who suffer?
