Chapter 7 Parliament
Ning'an City, the Ye family's cabinet, in the secret room.
"All the family elders, I will bring you here this time, that is, there are important things to discuss, everyone should be calm and impatient, and listen to the detailed report of the housekeeper Zhang Gui later." Ye An's calm and somewhat majestic voice resounded through the cabinet hall, and in this ancient and very sealed space, there was a bit of indescribable heaviness.
At the beginning, when Ye Fan was disposed of, it was Ye An alone, and in fact, he also discussed it with the elders, but the original result was much worse than what Ye An decided, that is, to directly obliterate him.
Under Ye An's struggle, there was hope for Ye Fan's survival.
And now, because of Ye Fan's matter, five years later, everyone is gathering again.
There are not many elders, just five of them, all of them are side branches of the Ye family, all surnamed Ye, but the bloodline has passed three generations.
It is precisely because of this that the position of the patriarch of the Ye family has always been in the hands of the Ye family.
"Ye Fan, is it a martial arts waste material born with a unique vein? What's worth exploring? Could it be that he suddenly got the favor of the martial saint master and gave him a washing muscle? A short, very thin old man sneered, and there was a look of disdain in his small eyes.
This man was dressed in a blue-black shirt, with a sparse yellow-black beard that was listlessly pulled, and under the raised forehead, the cheekbones were bulging, which was very prominent.
The skin like pine bark, combined with the bulging bones everywhere, made this man look fierce and ruthless.
This person is none other than the Third Elder Ye Chang.
"Hahaha, Third Elder, you are really good at laughing, just this waste material, you can still get the favor of the Martial Saint, you don't want to let my old guy laugh to death! Aha-" Fourth Elder Ye Mi laughed loudly.
This person was dressed in a blue and yellow robe, his face was slightly fat, his face was round, his eyebrows were thick, his teeth were turned out, and his smile was a little leaky.
This person is a bit tall, and the overall appearance is a bit burly.
"You're all doing your part! Where is there room for such noise in a presbyterian meeting! Great Elder Ye Heng said sharply.
"Humph!"
"Humph!"
Both of them snorted coldly, and then pursed their lips, a trace of disdain flashing in their eyes.
Immediately, when he saw Ye An coming over and sat on the position of the patriarch, he immediately bowed slightly to Ye An and said symbolically: "I have seen the patriarch." ”
"I've seen the patriarch," the Great Elder Ye Heng and the Second Elder Ye Chen also said respectfully at this moment.
"I've seen the patriarch." The fifth elder Ye Mo was the last to say respectfully, and this person, with his expression and tone, was the most respectful.
This person is dressed in a black robe, his face is a little cold, his sword eyebrows are starry, he is not very old, but he has a little more vicissitudes of experience on his face.
The jet-black beard is a little white, and it looks a little old, with a face that does not show age, this person gives people a feeling of a sharp sword, just like this person does not make a move, and when he makes a move, he will kill someone.
"Well, okay, everyone sit down, Elder Ye Mo, you bring Zhang Gui up." Ye An ordered.
"Yes, Patriarch." Ye Mo bowed down and retreated, and left the secret room after a while.
A moment later.
The housekeeper Zhang Gui followed the five elders of Ye Mo to the secret room of the Ye family's cabinet.
Coming here, Zhang Gui was very excited, not because he was at the core of this power, nor because he could report important things to the five elders and the Ye clan patriarch face-to-face, but because of the content of this report!
Zhang Gui watched Ye Fan grow up, he didn't have any children himself, so that kind of father's love was completely given to this hard-working child with a bad fate.
Others don't know, but Zhang Gui knows that back then, every time he saw this child's desperate and pale eyes, his heart twitched, a burst of pain, how many years, finally, under absolute efforts, the hard-working child changed his destiny and changed his fate that was looked down upon by everyone.
This report is because the hard-working child is finally about to wash away the shame of the past!
This, how not to excite Zhang Gui, who is full of fatherly love for this child!
"Zhang Gui, I've seen the patriarch, the eldest elder, the second elder, the third elder, the fourth elder, and the fifth elder." Zhang Gui bowed to everyone.
Ye An nodded and motioned for Zhang Gui to continue.
And the rest of the people, except for Ye Mo, who also nodded slightly, the other four people did not react.
Zhang Gui was not unhappy, and even felt that this was taken for granted, of course, for Ye An and Ye Mo's feelings, they were naturally a little closer.
"Patriarch, five elders, this time, my subordinates witnessed with their own eyes that the third young master studied hard for five years in Tianshui Villa, and finally practiced a very powerful swordsmanship by himself.
The third young master is finally not a waste now! No, he was never a scrap, he was a genius! ”
Zhang Gui was very excited, the blood in his chest was burning, and his face was full of red blood.
This news, in fact, Ye An already knew and was confirmed by Zhang Gui, but the other five elders did not know.
As soon as this news came out, the faces of the five elders immediately changed color.
After a shock, a shock, and then four of the elders shouted almost in unison: "Bold minions, how dare you speak like this, it's really damn bad!" A martial arts waste material, born with a unique pulse, how can he become a master in five years, it's just nonsense! ”
"That's nonsense!"
……
Suddenly, angry scolding, punishment, and all kinds of shouts and reprimands shot out from the mouths of the four elders, like sharp swords, stabbing the old butler's heart fiercely.
Young master, third young master, in their eyes, is it a damn waste? Zhang Gui's heart sank to the bottom for a while, and that kind of desolate heart suddenly grew, and he was a little old, and there were some muddy tears overflowing in his eyes.
The heartache is just for the affection of this complicated family, and it is also for the child who is not his own, but is like his own.
Fifth Elder Ye Mo had been watching all this indifferently and did not interject any words, but, faintly, his face also flashed a little gloomy.
"Okay, since the five elders don't believe it very much, then Zhang Gui, you can prove it." Ye An seemed to have expected such a result, and immediately smiled indifferently, stroking a thick beard that was not too long and not too black.
Zhang Gui originally saw Ye An's seemingly playful smile, and he was a little disappointed in his heart, at this time, knowing that the opportunity had come, he was immediately very happy in his heart, knowing that he could turn over for Ye Fan, he immediately raised his head and said proudly: "Elders, that Xuantie knife, everyone knows, the only knife in the Ye family that can be used was originally placed in the ancestral hometown, and because the third young master liked ancient books at the beginning, when he moved some of the ancient scrolls, he also attached it to the past. ”
"This knife, although the material is good and sharp, but the manufacturing technique is too clumsy to use! And those who use the sword, inferior, make the sword is the way out for the strong! Ye Chang shook his head disdainfully and smiled proudly.
Although this knife is the only sharp knife, it is not liked by everyone, one is the style is simple, it looks 'ugly', and the other is that everyone knows that they do not have the ability to pull out the scabbard, and this, this is the fundamental!
Therefore, when it comes to this knife, everyone knows that this knife with a net weight of 'eight catties and four taels' is much inferior to the sword, and no one has any objection to this knife falling into Ye Fan's hands.
"Waste knives and waste people, it's really a perfect match! Hahaha-" Ye Mi also smiled very kindly.
Ye An's brows furrowed slightly, but he didn't say anything, and his eyes stared at Zhang Gui.
Zhang Gui understood, and immediately said proudly: "It's this Xuantie waste knife, but no one can make it unsheathed, but the young master, it is just a random move, not only the knife is out of the sheath, but even the vicious housekeeper Wang Zhen was killed under the knife by one of his moves!" ”
"Huh? ——”
At this time, when everyone heard this, they were all shocked in their hearts, especially that Ye Mo, whose eyes suddenly burst out with a ruthless meaning, but at this moment there was some chaos in the field, but no one could know.
"This Wang Zhen, I'm afraid that Zhang Gui killed it yourself, to correct Ye Fan's name, hmph, who knows, you are incapable of giving birth to children, so you will treat this waste young master as your own, you are like this, you are never the real way to correct Ye Fan's name!" Second Elder Ye Chen said in a deep voice.
"Second Elder, this time you are wrong to blame Steward Zhang Gui, this time, Steward Zhang Gui stayed in Bilan City more than ten days ago because of procurement, and he didn't go back until yesterday, and I heard that Wang Zhen's death was in- well, he died before this." The Great Elder's face changed slightly, and he quickly stopped his mouth, taking advantage of the situation to say something twisting.
The rest of the people didn't pay attention, but Ye An's eyes flashed, and there was a slight groan in his heart.
"Zhang Gui only told me the news last night, today's council, this great elder has already known that Wang Zhen has been dead for several days, this person ...... I'm afraid that Yi'er is a little dangerous. Ye Anxin groaned, but there was nothing abnormal on the surface.
At this moment, he was thinking about it very quickly in his heart, this Ye Fan is the closest, and can know about Wang Zhen's death, the inner and outer courtyards combined, there are no more than ten people, and if it is really back and forth, if it is not for the galloping horses day and night, there is no possibility of knowing everything in a short time, this meditation lake villa, the water is only afraid that it is also deep.
