Chapter 11: The Presiding Elder
Jia Le rummaged through here and there, without a clue, until he walked to the back row against the wall, and in the middle was a large, thick and delicately packaged book.
The title and decorative lines on the case are all carved, but they look exactly like the real thing. Jia Le stretched out his hand and touched it, startled, this book was actually sucking his own aura.
The bookshelf in front of me suddenly moved backwards and then opened to the sides.
If this is a deliberately set secret door, it is too little concealment.
It turned out that there was a room inside, and there was also a collection of books here, but it was far less than the outside, and the layout was simple and elegant, with a desk in the middle, on which some books and pen and ink were placed.
On the wall behind the desk, a pair of brush words dragon and phoenix dance, fluttering: Linyuan envy fish, retreat and close the net.
Jia Le approached the desk and casually opened the book in the middle of the table.
"Celestial Rune!" Jia Le lowered his voice and quickly turned his head to look at the secret door.
Jia Le noticed that the blood on the rune paper felt very familiar, and he was shocked: this was Grandpa Mu's Heavenly Talisman, and it was also a Divine Blood Rune.
Xiaoxue's grandfather was killed for only one day, and the Celestial Rune was sent to the Mei family, Jia Le thought of the person who was hit by the car, how could the person who used the Flying Insect Gu be so well-informed, could it be that this matter was done by Gu Wangzhai, but those housekeepers are definitely not ordinary people, it will not be too easy to enter the Mei family's study directly from the outside, if this is not a simple frame-up, will there be a bigger conspiracy.
Jia Le carefully put away the rune paper, walked out of the secret door, and reached out to touch the book carved from iron. The iron carved book sucked away a little aura, and the secret door slowly closed.
Jia Le, who returned to the restaurant, didn't say a word, and Yin Shaohai glanced at her worriedly.
Jia Le shook his head slightly, indicating that he was fine.
The housekeeper behind him held on to the chair and motioned for Jia Le to take a seat, as soon as he sat down, there was a slight tremor in the whole room, and everyone hurriedly ran to the balcony, but nothing happened after that, it seemed that it was not an earthquake, a false alarm.
After everyone fell asleep at night, a paper kite with a folded rune paper flew out of the Mei family's house and disappeared into the night.
The next morning, the light was faint, Yun Tiancheng yawned, stretched his waist and looked out the window, it was another good weather.
Looking at Yin Shaohai next to him, he was still snoring, and wanted to get back into the quilt, when there was a knock on the door.
"Tiancheng Shaohai, get up quickly, there are a lot of people outside. Yin Yue stood outside the door.
Yun Tiancheng opened the window and looked down, the entire courtyard was full of people, the crowd was divided into two groups, Mei Shuyu's brother Mei Shang was standing in the crowd close to the residence.
"Senior Jia, my grandfather hasn't come back in the imperial capital yet, but I have already conveyed your old intentions, why don't you wait in the house first, I think grandpa and father should be able to rush back at noon." "Mei Shang is worthy of being the eldest son, and he is calm as usual in the face of such a battle.
The group of people standing by the iron gate was led by an old man, the old man was slightly fat, his eyes were shining, and his face was unhappy: "I didn't expect the Mei family to let a doll preside over the overall situation, and where will Jia Duanyang in my Fengcheng be, as long as your Mei family hands over the murderer and gives an explanation, I will go back to the city immediately, and I will not disturb for half a moment, you are afraid that there is something to hide if you delay for some reason, why don't you let me bring someone into the house to search." ”
Jia Duanyang said that he was searching, but even he had never seen the murderer, so he just wanted to see if there was any clue from Mei Shang's reaction.
"I dare to guarantee that the Mei family will never hide anyone who is not good for you Qifeng City, I am not delaying, you can also enter the house when you are old, but the Mei family is narrow and cannot accommodate so many distinguished guests. "I didn't expect Mei Shang to be able to do things, and he was very cautious in every word.
Jia Duanyang snorted coldly.
Jia Le, together with Yun Tiancheng and the others, walked out of the house and saw the old man opposite, called "Grandpa" and ran to the crowd opposite, and took the Heavenly Talisman in his hand to Jia Duanyang.
"This was found in your Mei family, how do you explain this?" Jia Duanyang held up the Celestial Rune.
"Senior, forgive me for speaking inappropriately, how do I know that this rune paper must have been found from my Mei family, not ....... Mei Shang wanted to say that it was brought by the Jia family himself to plant the stolen goods, but after glancing at Jia Le, he also felt strange in his heart.
"My Jia family is above board, and I won't do such a despicable thing for the one-third of an acre of land in Liuyue City. ”
Mei Shang heard that this was satirizing his own family for replacing the original city guard family of Liuyue City, and his face became unhappy.
Jia Le hurriedly added: "Grandpa Mu's Divine Blood Talisman was found by me in the study at the back of the library room. ”
"You said you found it, you found it?" Mei Shang's heart began to beat faster.
Jia Le regretted taking out the rune paper for a while, so he should have let it be placed in the study and then led everyone to find it.
Mei Shang took a step forward and wanted to take a look at the rune paper, which made the people of Qifeng City uneasy, and they all took out the Heavenly God Rune and took a guard posture.
The people of the Mei family did not show weakness, raised their hands and pinched the trick, preparing to open the spiritual blood seal.
Mei Shang didn't expect his actions to make the other party have such a big reaction, so he had to stop.
Yun Tiancheng was worried that the two sides would make a move, so he stepped forward and said, "Brother Mei, Grandpa Jia, the Divine Blood Talisman was indeed taken away by others, and I have seen the murderer, but we have been here for a day and have not seen the murderer. ”
The eyes of both sides were attracted by Cloud Sky City.
Jia Le whispered to Jia Duanyang, and Jia Duanyang raised his head and looked at Yuntian City.
"Your father was taken in by the Yin family, and the Yin Mei family is from the same door, you naturally speak to them, since you have seen the murderer, little brother, I want to ask you to be a witness, but if you have some protection and protection, even you will not be able to escape the blame. Jia Duanyang didn't believe what Yun Tiancheng said too much.
Jia Le hurriedly grabbed Jia Duanyang's sleeve: "Grandpa, no." ”
It was the first time for Yun Tiancheng to hear someone else talk to him like this, thinking that he had never dealt with anything important alone, he wanted to explain it to Jia Le's grandfather, but his mood suddenly became complicated, and at the same time, he didn't know why, a red dot actually appeared in his palm, and there was a heart-piercing pain in his palm.
Yun Tiancheng first looked at the palm of his hand, and then looked up at Jia Duanyang, his brows wrinkled unconsciously, and he didn't know how he could have such a big mood swing for a while, could it be caused by the pain in his palm, but how did the red dot in his palm come about?
Yuntiancheng stood in place, not knowing whether to advance or retreat. Mei Shang walked to his side and didn't look at him, but said to Jia Duanyang: "The old man talks too much, I said, grandpa and father will give you an explanation when they come back, if the murderer is in my Mei family, and because I delay everyone to arrest me, I, Mei Shang, am willing to pay with my own life." ”
Jia Duanyang had nothing to say for a while.
The two sides stood like this, and the sun turned from warm to scorching.
"Young Master of the Yin family, this is when do we have to wait, the people of Qifeng City want to enter the door, and no one can stop the master. "There are people behind Jia Duanyang who can't stand.
The crowd became noisy.
"Shut up, it's not your turn yet. Jia Duanyang turned around and scolded. Although he is indeed not afraid of the Mei family, it is always bad to cause casualties when he moves.
The crowd suddenly fell silent.
The people of the Mei family were not happy when they heard it, and someone said: "The Mei family has come to this day, and they have never been afraid of anyone." ”
As soon as the words came out, there was tension on both sides, and people were boiling, but Jia Duanyang and Mei Shang didn't speak, and neither of them dared to make a move.
At this time, a person suddenly flew upside down from outside the iron gate, flew over the heads of Jia Duanyang and the others, and fell on the pool, smashing the pool out of a gap.
The faces of the people next to the pool were mixed with blood and water, and they moaned weakly.
The crowd made a way, and an old man with a little rickety hair that had turned white walked into the courtyard with his hands behind his back, followed by a tall middle-aged man next to the old man.
"Grandpa. Mei Shuyu and Mei Shang stepped forward at the same time.
"Dad. ”
"Father. ”
It's no wonder that the two brothers of the Mei family are cold and handsome, and the other is clear-eyed.
The father of the two was extraordinary, nearly middle-aged, and still majestic, this was the youngest chief elder since the establishment of Lingtian Yuan, Mei Yuan.
