In Changning Town, the massacre in the village under Xiaowutai Mountain has gradually subsided, except for the body of the four hall masters who were brought back by Nangong Pu, the others were cremated and brought back with ashes. This matter has become a foregone conclusion, and for ordinary people, they don't even talk about it after tea and dinner, because it is not fresh and outdated.

But instead of returning to the previous silence, a lot of people gathered in the village, looking for something day and night. Every inch of this abandoned mountain village has been carefully searched.

When Nangong Jin arrived here, he knew that he was wrong, and even if there was evidence, it was all destroyed in the hands of this group of people. I originally wanted to leave quietly, but I suddenly found that most of these people were of the same clan. The faces that I don't know are all dressed up. What's going on?

Nangong Jin just thought about it and didn't plan to inquire. And Pingyang has not held a funeral so far, does it mean that my father did not have an accident, and the family is also investigating the truth? But what is the purpose of this? There was also a reward of 5,000 taels.

Now there are three places to go, the first is of course to go home, maybe the family is waiting for their return, mother, eldest brother, it is impossible not to believe in themselves. But what does this scene mean in front of you? A group of clansmen digging three feet into the ground, what are they looking for? Therefore, it is the people in Binh Duong who are not at ease.

If you don't go home, you can go to Jingzhou. Nangong Jin thought about it carefully, but felt that Jingzhou was safer than Pingyang, although it was the farthest from here. Of course, you can also go to the capital to find Lord Qian. But the situation in the capital is unknown, and this reward is too amazing.

Nangong Jin slowly withdrew from Shanxia Village and decided to go to Jingzhou first.

"Hey." A woman behind him called out to him, "Are you leaving at this time?" Which room? ”

Nangong Jin walked a few steps quickly, as if he didn't know who he was calling.

The woman hurried to catch up and stop him, "Where are you going?" It's getting dark. ”

Nangong Jin was sloppy and deliberately lowered her head. Whoever it was, he didn't want to be recognized.

The woman looked at him, seemed to hesitate, and took a half step forward to take a closer look. Nangong Jin hurriedly took a few steps back, wanting to turn around and leave.

The woman whispered two words, "Ah Jin? ”

Nangong Jin didn't dare to raise her head, and was even more anxious to leave. The woman directly reached out and grabbed his clothes, and whispered, "It's really you?" Everyone is looking for you, come with me. ”

Nangong Jin glanced up at her, Tang Man?!

Tang Man looked around very carefully, made a gesture for Nangong Jin to follow her, and the two quietly walked to a dilapidated house at the back of the village.

"What happened?" Nangong Jin finally couldn't help but ask.

"How did you end up here?" Tang Man asked almost at the same time, and then smiled and explained, "The second room doesn't let Ah Pu act as the patriarch because he doesn't have a family head token. Those people, probably think they can find it here......"

"Where's Daddy?" Nangong Jin asked urgently.

"You don't know?" Tang Man looked at him strangely, "He's ...... with Yiyi"

"Impossible!" Nangong Jin interrupted her.

"Some people say they see ......"

Nangong Jin shook her head and interrupted again, "A few days ago, I saw her. She was alone, somewhere in Luliang Mountain. ”

"And then?" Tang Man asked.

"Daddy definitely wasn't with her. There may be some accident now, she is still in Luliang Mountain, and she shouldn't be able to get out. Nangong Jin was still a little wary of Tang Man.

Tang Man asked in a daze: "Dead?" ”

"Ah...... I don't know about that." Nangong Jin didn't want to mention Liu Yi and asked, "What's going on here?" ”

"You killed you?" Tang Man looked at Nangong Jin and continued to ask.

Nangong Jin also looked at her and didn't answer. didn't seem to understand for a while, she was referring to Liu Yi, or her father.

"You killed you?" Tang Man asked again.

Nangong Jin sighed slightly, "I haven't seen my father since I left Tianchengwei." As for Liu Yi, well, I don't know. ”

Tang Man lowered his head, suddenly cried, and choked in a low voice, "I'm sorry, I, my ......, Master treats me very well, and I raised ...... since I was a child" said as if he wanted to hold back his might, but he couldn't stop crying, not wanting Nangong Jin to see it, he lowered his head and sobbed, and went around his back.

Suddenly, a sharp palm wind hit Nangong Jin's heart, and Nangong Jin was shocked and avoided, but the distance was too close, and he was still swept by the palm wind. The blow was not successful, Tang Man was full of chagrin, and the moves in his hand did not stop.

Nangong Jin never thought that Tang Man would also do martial arts, even if he was always on guard, he didn't watch out for her. After a few moves, Tang Man saw that it was impossible to keep him, so he directly released a dazzling bullet. The glare shot straight into the sky, emitting blinding lights and screams.

Nangong Jin didn't dare to entangle with her any longer, and quickly crashed into the broken wall behind her and escaped. It's just that the glare bomb hasn't been extinguished yet, and dozens of people have already arrived around.

"He's Nangong Jin!" Don Man shouted behind him.

With Tang Man's voice, a hidden weapon flew in the air. Nangong Jin drew out the heavy twilight sword, and the sword swung away, he had no intention of fighting, and rushed out.

Pingyang, Nangong Mansion has been hung with white flags.

Twenty-three churches, almost ten. The people in the house are all filial piety. Zhou Tang didn't appear, and after listening to Nangong Wan's persuasion a few days earlier, she no longer stopped the funeral. But he resolutely does not participate in anything and does not carry filial piety. Stayed in Qiming Hall with Nangong Wan, and no one was seen.

She did this for Nangong Pu. But in any case, for Shen Xueying, the first step has been completed. Not only that, this time she wanted to enter Pingyang in all halls, so that most of the newly acquired Qingfeng Hall recognized her as the main mother, and as for whether Liu Yi would hand over her cronies to her, Shen Xueying didn't care anymore.

Although the funeral time is tight, it is a big deal. With these ten halls, there is no room for the second room. None of the halls in Jingzhou and Quanzhou came, and even Yao Fangyu didn't mean to come back. Although Shen Xueying mentioned asking Zhou Tang to call them back, Zhou Tang didn't make any moves. Even Du Ling, who has been staying in Pingyang, did not come to the incense in front of the spirit.

Shen Xueying had secretly sealed the West Courtyard, and just waited for Nangong Pu to succeed as the patriarch, so she packed all Nangong Jin's things and shipped them to Jingzhou. It stands to reason that this should also be Nangong Jin's attitude, even if he is not there.

It's just that on top of the funeral, the second room was once again troubled because of the head of the family's token, and before that, Nangong Pu agreed to the second room leader of the elders. As a result, Nangong Dingchang actually wanted to preside over the funeral in the name of the Presbyterian Church. However, Nangong Pu seemed to only care about burying his father as soon as possible, and did not veto Nangong Dingchang's request.

Shen Xueying was anxious, and looked for Zhou Tang again, hoping that she would come forward to suppress the unreasonable demands of the second room and the side branches. It's a pity that the door of Zhou Tang's courtyard is closed, and even Shen Xueying is gone.

Zhou Tang's behavior made the ten hall masters in Pingyang waver, but fortunately, this vacillation did not show itself at the funeral.

Nangong Dingkang's funeral was finally completed in a noisy and noisy manner. It's just that Nangong Pu, who was supposed to become the patriarch at this time, was stubbornly resisted by the Elders.

After the funeral, two or three hall masters privately asked to see Zhou Tang. Maybe it was for his son, Zhou Tang didn't hide this time. However, after some discussions, the doubts of the hall masters were not dispelled. But at least ten congregations have stated that they will not obey the orders of the presbyterian church. At the same time, he also proposed whether Zhou Tang could come forward to temporarily take care of the affairs of Nangong.

This proposal made Shen Xueying dissatisfied. Although Zhou Tang politely refused, and asked everyone to obey Nangong Pu's arrangement, Nangong Pu actually said that the affairs of the door would be decided after discussing with his mother.

After Shen Xueying heard this, she was even more full of grief and indignation. After doing all this, the head of the Nangong clan is still Zhou Tang!

Binh Duong, it seems that the big thing has been decided. After the funeral, Nangong Pu fell into a protracted power struggle with the elders who were mainly in the second room. For Shen Xueying, what constantly provoked her nerves was not only the Council of Elders, but also the existence of Zhou Tang.

But in any case, Nangong Dingkang is dead. What Nangong Jin heard was such news.

On that day, those people started from Changning Town and chased him for four days. Finally, on the fourth night, he completely dumped the men, but the wounds on his body were more serious.

Daddy is dead? No way.

Nangong Jin didn't believe in this at all, and until now, she didn't know what was going on. Is Daddy's funeral a signal? Let yourself go back? Now, it is definitely not okay to be hunted down and killed like this, and you must find out the truth and exonerate yourself. It's too far to Jingzhou, if someone finds him half dead on the road, I'm afraid he won't be able to get to Jingzhou.

Back to Binh Duong! Only Pingyang knows about Dad's affairs, and when he goes home, his eldest brother will definitely help.

Nangong Jin found a stream, washed herself, and changed into clothes she had stolen from a nearby farmhouse. He took out the vanity box he had taken from a certain lady's dresser and looked at the small mirror. It's just that Nangong Jin's ability to change his appearance was taught by Zheng Shu, and he learned it in general, and the materials were limited, which made it even worse.

From here to Binh Duong, even if it is non-stop, it will take four days, and now it will only take longer to bypass the town and go out day and night.

Jingzhou Qifengzhuang.

After the funeral, Qi Zhongyan, the master of Zhiyuan Hall, went directly to Qifengzhuang. In the matter of freight, Zhiyuantang has always been more active, so it has the closest connection with Jingzhou Tang. At that time, Qi Zhongyan was optimistic about Xiangji, thinking that he could curry favor in front of the second son, and he could open the back door of Xiangji to some extent. I just didn't expect this relationship to be used at this time.

Qi Zhongyan expressed himself very bluntly in front of Zhao Fengming, first of all, he did not accept the so-called Council of Elders, which was also consistent with Zhou Tang's opinion. And at this point, Qi Zhongyan can even guarantee that at least twelve churches will never obey the assignment of the Council of Elders.

Secondly, for such a thing as the family head token, in Qi Zhongyan's eyes, it was just an internal problem of the Nangong clan, and Zhiyuantang originally only listened to Nangong Dingkang. Although he has held a funeral for Nangong Dingkang now, even Zhou Tang doesn't recognize this matter, let alone a few halls that Nangong Dingkang originally set up. It's just that because the Nangong clan can't be left without a master and temporarily obey Zhou Tang's arrangement, the problem is that Zhou Tang didn't come out to preside over the overall situation, but completely let Nangong Pu take charge.

On the day they left Pingyang, Nangong Pu promised the elders to check the accounts in each hall. It is said that it is just to check and understand the affairs of the freight, so that the various houses of the Nangong clan can also invest in private property to participate in it, at least on the surface, it means to support the clansmen.

And among the halls of the Council of Elders, there are also Jingzhou Third Halls and Bihai Hall, so Qi Zhongyan came to ask Zhao Fengming what he meant.

In the study of Qifengzhuang, there are not only Zhao Fengming and Qi Zhongyan, but also Yao Fangyu, Li Songran and Li Qiang, Lin Shi, and Cheng Zhaofeng.

After listening to Qi Zhongyan's words, Cheng Zhaofeng also asked bluntly: "Does Hall Master Qi not want the Elders to come to investigate?" ”

Qi Zhongyan didn't even think about nodding directly, "I don't know any elder council, as far as I am concerned, the Zhiyuan Hall only obeys the orders of the master, and the affairs within the Nangong clan have nothing to do with us." If the eldest prince can recognize himself as the head of the house and ignore the Council of Elders, we must recognize him, and now he doesn't recognize it himself, then we can only understand that the current head is vacant. How should churches act in such situations? I'm here to discuss with you. ”
