Chapter 28: Changing Days
There are also four seasons in the Mochizuki Continent, and it is a hot summer at this time, even if it is a night after a thunderstorm, it is a little stuffy, not to mention that now, the stars are twinkling and the bright moon is hanging high.
Linyue City, the Lin family hall.
The cold atmosphere was unusually dignified, everyone was stuffy, didn't speak, didn't look up, drooped their heads, listless.
"Grandpa, my fourth uncle went there, why didn't he participate in such an important meeting. ”
A crisp voice sounded in this solemn meeting hall, Lin Jingyu seemed to think of something, looked up at the elders present, his face sank, and his cold eyes looked at Lin Haotian.
"I guess I'm sleeping! It's so late, anyway, if he wants to stay to defend against foreign enemies, don't wake up, you hurry up and pack up and get ready to go out of the city." ”
Lin Haotian disagreed, this kind of trivial matter should not be talked about on such an occasion, and this kind of cold attitude is not what a junior should have for his elders, there is a little blame, he looked at Lin Jingyu with deep eyes, and frowned.
Just when everyone got up and was about to leave, a maid wearing a green Luo skirt walked in at the door, didn't say anything, walked quickly towards Lin Jingyu, whispered something in Lin Jingyu's ear, only to see Lin Jingyu's face change and change.
"Grandpa, we can't leave!"
Lin Jingyu opened his mouth and said, his face was extremely ugly, as if he had been humiliated by someone, and all the Lin family members present sat down again, looked at each other, felt a little ironic, and didn't know what was going on.
"What, what's going on?"
Lin Haotian stared at Lin Jingyu and asked lightly, using this tone to alleviate the embarrassment just now, his face was a little unbearable, he shouldn't be so kind to his granddaughter, and he is a particularly obedient granddaughter.
"Grandpa, Yancui saw the fourth uncle go out through the back door. ”
Lin Jingyu responded coldly, and the others tightened their hearts, showing strong dissatisfaction on their faces, as if they were mocking, perhaps mocking themselves.
"What are you doing?"
Lin Haotian also felt a little wrong at this time, and if he could say this, I am afraid that the last thing he wanted to see happened, at this time, he still asked with a little luck.
The fourth uncle went to the City Lord's Mansion, and saw a hunchbacked old man at the back door of the City Lord's Mansion, and he didn't know what he said, so he came back in a hurry. ”
Lin Jingyu stood alone in the center of the council hall, and said stubbornly, her face was unusually cold, she never thought that her own uncle would betray the family at this time, and his behavior had seriously affected the survival of the Lin family.
"This brute, you want to destroy my Lin family! Butler, go and arrest that brute for me!"
Lin Haotian was also angry, and he spoke incoherently, what was he really afraid of, what was coming. At this time, Lin Wei, the fourth elder of the Lin family, went to see the people of the City Lord's Mansion, even if it was a pig's head, he knew what was going on.
"Father, what's the matter, why did the housekeeper treat me like this, the following offenses, please punish my father!"
Lin Wei was dragged from home to the council hall by the housekeeper and guards, and at first he resisted, using sleep as an excuse to not go to the council hall, but now the wicked person sued first, showing the housekeeper's crimes, and he was also eloquent.
Lin Haotian originally wanted to deal with it as appropriate, as long as it was not too serious, a symbolic punishment would be counted, but as soon as the goods came, he was full of nonsense, and at first glance, he was shirking the crime, and he no longer interrogated, and directly ordered the housekeeper to pull it down, put him in the criminal law hall, and wait until the aftermath to punish.
In fact, Lin Haotian is also selfish, in the end, he is his favorite son, how can he really be punished, if he really survives this catastrophe, he will turn a blind eye, who let it be his own fruit, his own sin!
White Tiger Street, Street.
Five teams of people, five different costumes, red, yellow, blue, green and purple, gathered.
At this moment, the starry moon is covered by black clouds.
Among them, the purple group of people is from the City Lord's Mansion, the leader is Ouyang Zan, and there is a middle-aged man and a hunchbacked old man standing on both sides, with high morale and neat formation, which is not a sharp knife in the government army.
There are also three teams from the three major families in Linyue City, led by the heads of each family, the red team is the Du family, uneven and in disarray, the green one is the Mu family, which is orderly and orderly, and the blue one is the Yang family, which is neat and uniform, and the rows are one after another.
The last team is the belated Huo family, Huo Weicheng is the leader, the tiger is mighty, with a gloomy face, the whole team is angry, confident with arrogance, ready to go, staring coldly at the team of the City Lord's Mansion.
"City Lord Ouyang came early!"
Huo Weicheng stopped, his face was extremely ugly, and he stared at Ouyang Zan with cold eyes and said.
As soon as the words fell, the cold wind gusted on the entire White Tiger Street, and the thunder rolled, I don't know if the weather was changing, or Huo Weicheng's biting chill was affected, in short, the cold filled the entire space, and the two teams were full of hostility, seeing that the situation had already broken before the alliance began, the hearts of the other leaders suddenly brightened, especially Du Manyou, the head of the Du family, who actually snorted and laughed.
"Yes, we've just arrived. ”
Ouyang Zan's face was sad, he didn't want to see such a situation the most, at this moment, he had to stand up and say something else, change the topic, but don't be a sandpiper before it starts.
But before Ouyang Zan could continue to speak, Huo Weicheng continued.
"As soon as our group left the City Lord's Mansion, we encountered an assassination, this Linyue City seems to be in danger!
Ouyang Zan understood, this was the beginning of the Xingshi question, there was an arrogant aura on his body, and he was about to defend himself, but he was stopped by the middle-aged man on the side with his hand, Ouyang Zan couldn't help but take a step back, if he hadn't attacked the Lin family next, he would definitely not have been so compromised.
"What! Huo Xian's nephew was assassinated! Who dares to act so boldly. ”
Ouyang Zan asked with concern, pretending to be a pretend, and he was very shocked, at this time, it is best not to make extraneous branches, otherwise it will cause some uncontrollable consequences, and it is not worth it, not to mention that as long as there is no evidence to prove that it was their city lord's mansion, what is doubt, let them keep doubting!
"I also want to know, who is in such a hurry. ”
Huo Weicheng heard Ouyang Zan call himself a virtuous nephew, he felt disgusted, but he didn't move on the surface, the domineering aura just now, I'm afraid everyone present felt it, this Ouyang Zan is really good at being a man, I haven't seen him so polite before, but now he is inferior.
Ouyang Zan looked calm on the surface, and his face was full of love, but his heart was already full of anger.
At that time, after the banquet, Huo Weicheng did not stay in their city lord's mansion, and went directly to the door, so he discussed with Mr. Wei and decided to kill Huo Weicheng, and then blame the Lin family, but he didn't expect that the ghost old man in the king realm didn't take it, but came back with a body.
He and Mr. Wei looked carefully, but they couldn't see the reason, there was an ominous thought, although I heard the ghost always say that it was blown up by a rune paper, but I always felt that something was wrong, but I couldn't say it, what I was most afraid of was this ambiguous feeling.
It's good now, the assassination failed, it got fishy, and finally took a healing pill that he treasured, the Replenishing Yuan Pill was awarded to him by the Emperor of Great Qin because of his meritorious work in resisting Da Yan, and he didn't want to take it out, but if he wanted to snatch the Lin family's martial arts secrets, he had to rely on the power of the ghost elder, and he had to give it to the ghost elder.
At this painless moment, he didn't want to expose all his hole cards in front of people, a ghost hunchback can be deterred, and the identity of the ghost old man was already suspected at that time, and at the critical moment, even if he gave up the chess piece of the ghost elder, it didn't matter.
