Chapter 46: Guilt and Self-Blame!
When Ye Xiaofan and the three of them came to the meeting hall, all the high-level officials of the Ye family had already arrived, and when they saw Ye Tianqing coming, except for the three elders above, the other family deacons and other high-level officials stood up and saluted.
Walking to the top and looking at the figures of all the people who were all present, Ye Tianqing waved his hand and motioned for everyone to sit down, and then said, "I believe everyone knows why the family meeting was held this time. ”
"I won't say much else, I want to hear what everyone thinks?"
When the words fell, a heavy and serious atmosphere suddenly filled the entire hall, and everyone's faces became gloomy and serious.
At this time, a middle-aged man in blue stood up, saluted Ye Tianqing, gritted his teeth and said, "Family Master, this time the Long family is really too deceitful!"
"Brother Ye is right!" After the man in blue spoke, another man in black robe also followed and said, "Family master, we must definitely get this account back from the Long family!"
The two people who took the lead were the two who suffered the pain of losing their children in this incident, both of them were the strength of the mid-stage of foundation building, and they were also the deacons of the Ye family.
"Two deacons, let's calm down for a while, and listen to what everyone has to say?" Ye Tianqing glanced at the two people below, and then spoke to reassure them.
"Family master, the Long family has been arrogant and domineering in Yongning City all these years, and they have been against our Ye family everywhere, although they were peaceful on the surface in the past, but how many black hands did they play in secret?"
"That's right, the gang of the Long family killed a thousand knives, Lao Tzu has long seen that they are unhappy, and they usually do small actions behind their backs, but this time these miscellaneous people actually rode on our necks to shit, if this is not to ask for an explanation, I am afraid that they will be even more excessive in the future!"
"Well, this time the Long family is indeed over, and it is inevitable that the two families will fight, but if it is malicious to hurt people's lives, this is not enough!"
Ye Tianqing silently listened to the constant discussion below, his fingers kept tapping regularly on the edge of the seat, and his eyes kept thinking about something.
"But this time it was not the older powerhouses of the Long family who killed people, but a few younger generations, could it be just a fight between the younger generations, and the older generation didn't know about it?"
Just when everyone was denouncing the crime committed by the Long family this time, a voice of different opinions sounded from the lowest corner, and the hall suddenly fell silent, and their eyes looked over.
This is a middle-aged man with a thin body, dark and rough skin, not tall, and a pockmarked face that is still long, giving people an uncomfortable look.
Ye Xiaofan sat on the side and heard this voice, and after glancing at Ye Ting'er on the side, he shook his head secretly: An idiot!
"Hmph! Ma San'er, don't you really think that this matter is so simple? If it weren't for the instructions of the elders of the family, would his younger generation fight and dare to kill him?"
"That's it, don't think about it, this is definitely allowed by the elders of the Long family.... Maybe they even planned it!"
Sure enough, as Ye Xiaofan expected, after Ma San'er put forward a different opinion, everyone in the hall opened their mouths to mock and angrily, and Ma San'er also fell silent under the power of the group of attackers, not daring to say a word more.
Seeing this, Ye Xiaofan twisted his neck, stood up and walked to the middle of the hall, bowed to Ye Tianqing and the three elders on the high platform, and then got up and said, "I believe everyone has seen what the Long family has done over the years, and I know it in their hearts!"
"Then I won't talk superfluous nonsense, whether his Long family members know it or not! This time, we will never give up, and we will definitely seek justice for my Ye family!"
"After all, the people of my Ye family are not so easy to kill!"
Ye Xiaofan's impassioned voice resounded in the hall, pulling everyone's heartstrings, which made everyone who was already in a state of excitement feel a boiling blood surging and burning.
"There is one more thing, I believe everyone is familiar with it!" Ye Xiaofan looked at the people in the hall full of excitement at this moment, his face slowly sank, and a sky-high killing intent shot out of his eyes, and then slowly spoke again.
"Regarding what happened to me three years ago, everyone should know that it was a group of people in black who intercepted me and my father, but what you don't know is that the group of people in black back then were the people of the Long family!"
"Although they tried their best to hide their identities, how could there be such a perfect thing in this world, but unfortunately, I had no basis for this matter, without the slightest evidence, and I couldn't ask the Long family for an explanation at all, so in the end I could only grit my teeth and endure it!"
When Ye Xiaofan said this, he was already trembling, but he still continued: "My father died tragically, I became a waste, and the people around me despised and ridiculed, I gritted my teeth and endured such pain every day!"
"Three years! three years!"
A hoarse roar spread throughout the hall, and everyone heard that their pupils were dilated, and their faces were full of disbelief!
Although when this incident happened, the Ye family and other high-level officials had guessed that it was the Long family, but there was no evidence, and then the head of the family, Ye Tianqing, did not make the slightest move, and finally it was gone.
Now that they heard the truth of the matter from Ye Xiaofan's mouth again, everyone was incredulous, and at the same time, they were even more angry to the extreme, gritting their teeth and scolding.
"After three years of painful suffering, they have finally been reborn, I think they should be very uncomfortable now, right?" Ye Xiaofan said coldly: "Today, in front of all the family elders, I, Ye Xiaofan, swore this time: The Long family - I will destroy it in the future!!"
"That's good!" As soon as Ye Xiaofan's soul-shaking oath fell, the Great Elder above stood up and applauded and said, "Since he is shameless in the Long family, then don't blame my Ye family for being ruthless!"
Ye Tianqing raised his head, his fingers that kept tapping on the table and chair suddenly stopped, and after glancing at Ye Xiaofan below, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
"The second elder, does the third elder think the same way?" Turning his head to look at the sides, Ye Tianqing asked.
When the two elders on the side saw Ye Tianqing asking, they also echoed: "Of course, this time we must seek justice with the Long family!"
"Okay!" Ye Tianqing stood up, slowly glanced at the people below, and said coldly: "The Long family has indeed gone too far in recent years!"
"At the beginning, my son died tragically at his hands, and my grandson was crippled for three years, and now he has killed my Ye family's good son, this new hatred and old hatred add up, and my Ye family is not sharing the sky!"
"These old men don't make a move, Long Batian's turtle grandson really thinks he is a thing, this time the old man has to let him remember, who is the real master of this Yongning City!"
In the hall, when Ye Tianqing's thunderous words exploded in everyone's ears, their first reaction was to flutter slightly, but it was followed by the surging blood aroused by anger, and they all clapped excitedly.
Ye Tianqing looked at the three elders beside him, and after passing on the sound to each other, he turned his head to look down again, and said in a cold tone: "Tomorrow, everyone will go to the Long family with me for a cup of tea!"
Looking at Ye Tianqing, whose eyes flashed with a terrifying light, everyone got up with enthusiasm and clasped their fists and saluted: "Obey the orders of the head of the family!"
................
After everyone in the hall left, Ye Xiaofan chatted with his grandfather and sister for a while, and then said goodbye to the two and prepared to go to his mother to report their safety.
According to Grandpa, since he disappeared, Grandpa has given a gag order to the family, not allowing anyone to tell his mother his whereabouts, saying that he has gone somewhere to experience and that it will take a long time to come back.
At first, Ye Xiaofan's mother didn't have any suspicions, but there is no impermeable wall in the world, and as time went by, the news of Ye Xiaofan's disappearance in the Valley of Broken Teeth still reached her ears, and after knowing the news, she immediately fainted.
When Ye Ting'er went to see her, she would find her sitting alone in the courtyard, looking motionless in the direction of the 100,000 Mountain.........
After coming out of the hall, Ye Xiaofan felt that the atmosphere of the entire family had changed significantly, everyone's faces were gloomy as water, and their mouths were constantly discussing that tomorrow they would have to pay the price for the evil things they had done over the years.
Obviously, the contents of the council just now were all known to the family members, and after shaking his head and sighing, Ye Xiaofan quickened his pace and walked towards the courtyard where his mother was.
After a while, Ye Xiaofan stopped in front of an elegant courtyard, looked at the familiar courtyard gate, the corners of his mouth involuntarily grinned, and then slowly adjusted his breath, making his face look a little better, and pushed the door in.
In the eye, a small courtyard, the courtyard is full of flowers and plants, the steps down the mountain stones are dotted, spread into a road leading to a low pavilion in the middle, in the pavilion, a small stone table, several low stone benches, and a glass incense burner is smoking cigarettes.
At this time, there was a woman sitting alone in the low pavilion, with her back to the direction of the gate, motionless looking at the direction of the 100,000 Great Mountain.
Looking at the depressed and lonely figure in front of him, Ye Xiaofan's chest was as if he had been hit by a heavy stone, and the pain was incomparable, and he slowly stepped forward with his trembling body.
As if sensing movement behind her, the woman slowly turned her head and looked behind her.
The four eyes were facing each other, and it was as if a thunder had sounded, echoing endlessly in the minds of the two, and time was frozen at that moment.
The appearance in front of him is not as gentle and atmospheric as Ye Xiaofan remembers....... Instead, his face was yellow and thin, and the whole person looked haggard, a pair of phoenix eyes were bloodshot, and there were still tears under his eyes.
Seeing such a mother, Ye Xiaofan's heart instantly became a ball, and endless self-blame came to his heart, thinking that since he came to this continent, not only did he not be a filial son, but he made his mother afraid of his worries day and night!
Poof!
A thousand words, like a stalk in the throat, originally had a lot of words to tell my mother, but the feelings of guilt and self-blame kept emerging, and finally the whole person trembled and knelt down in front of his mother.
"Mother!"
In just one word, I exhausted the helpless self-blame in my heart........
