Chapter 25: Wronged

The council hall was silent, and several elders sat in their seats. Silently looked at the people in the hall.

"If you don't say it, I'm going to crush you to ashes. The Great Elder slapped the table, pointed at him and said, "My Shangguan family treats you as your own, but you will take revenge, steal my dragon vein essence, and steal the treasure of my clan." He seemed to be extremely angry, and his eyes stared directly at Lin Xin, which was not inferior to the beast he first saw.

If other teenagers aged twelve or thirteen years old would definitely be suppressed by him, but now Lin Xin is different, he was taught by the beast predecessors, and under his influence, he realized that life should be chic and free, and the sky is falling and falling is not what people want, it is better to let go of everything and live easily. At this time, although he was ambushed, he faced it calmly in his heart. I didn't do anything wrong, I'm afraid of what you're going to do? If it weren't for the fear that Shibo would be difficult to do in front of everyone at that time, he would definitely refute Shangguan Yao.

"Elder grandpa, you can eat indiscriminately, you can't talk nonsense, when did I steal your treasure?" he deliberately said the first half of the urn in a loud voice, so that people couldn't understand it, and the questions behind it were asked clearly.

Hearing him deny it, the Great Elder was even more angry: "The kid still dares to quibble! It seems that you really don't cry when you don't see the coffin." Before he finished speaking, his right hand used his mana to hit Lin Xin's body with a palm. Suddenly, as if he had been hit by a heavy hammer, there was a wow, and a mouthful of blood suddenly spurted out of his mouth, and Lin Xin immediately fell to the ground, thinking that he was seriously injured. The Great Elder's Dao method is profound, and the control of the exercises has long been perfect, and the grasp of the strength is also arbitrary. But the Great Elder was really angry, and this palm was really not light.

The faces of the other people in the hall changed slightly, they had just brought Lin Xin to the council hall, and before the head of the family arrived, the Great Elder "opened the hall to hear the trial", and he started to hurt people again. If Shangguan Lan saw Lin Xin's appearance, he didn't know how to feel. It's just that this happened quickly, and no one wanted the Great Elder to suddenly take action and stop it.

Seeing this, Li Shuyi said: "This matter has not been clarified yet, let's wait for the head of the family to come." The second elder also knew the reason, and echoed: "Yes, eldest brother, let's wait for the head of the family to come, and we are not in a hurry." The four elders in the hall, and the third elder, were silent as usual.

Shangguan Lan can be said to be exhausted in recent days, and sent a message that there was an emergency in Mizhou, and he was preparing to go, but the horses were not yet fully prepared, but he didn't want another big incident to happen in the clan, so he had to stay and deal with the affairs of the clan first. Busy with this end, but the heart is worried about that end, it is really a bit of a hurry. I heard that the thief had been caught, and I had to come over to take a look. But as soon as he walked to the door of the council hall......

"What's going on?" Shangguan Lan looked at Lin Xin who fell to the ground and hurriedly asked. Hurriedly went up to support him and asked, "Lin Xin, why are you so seriously injured?" Lin Xin was seriously injured and lost his strength, and he hated him in his heart, so he didn't speak. Seeing that there were quite a few people in the main hall, Shangguan Lan turned around and asked, "Fourth Elder, who injured Lin Xin?" I heard that you caught the person who stole my Shangguan family's treasures, where is he?" Li Shuyi said: "This ......?"

"Tell the head of the house, the forbidden land in the back mountain has been stolen, we want to find a trace in the back mountain, and we found it not far from the forbidden place when we searched...... Found him. A burly man standing on the side stood up and pointed at Lin Xin and said to Shangguan Lan. Lin Xin recognized him, this person was the leader of the group that arrested him before.

Shangguan Lan said: "Are you saying that Lin Xin is the thief who stole the treasures of my clan?" He now understood why he had just arrived in the council hall and felt such a strange atmosphere, stared down at Lin Xin, and then looked back at the man and said, "You also hit his injury?" Shangguan Lan's tone was cold. The majesty of the head of the family should not be underestimated, he is only a small leader among the many guards of the Shangguan family, seeing that the head of the family is not good, he immediately shocked when he heard this: "He ......"

"I inflicted his injury!" the Great Elder interrupted the man's words and said solemnly: "Lin Xin stole the treasures of my Shangguan family, and he still denied it, my palm was just a lesson for him. ”

Shangguan Lan understood the reason. But he wouldn't believe that Lin Xin would be the one who stole the treasure of the Shangguan family no matter what. His concern for Lin Xin is well known in the clan, Shangguan Yao beat him to a serious injury when he was not present, of course he was dissatisfied, and asked at the moment: "The Great Elder keeps saying that Lin Xin is a thief, I don't know what evidence you have?"

The Great Elder laughed and said: "Evidence? Of course, the thief must be the evidence, my Shangguan's forbidden land is heavily guarded, and outsiders don't know where the forbidden place is, let alone know that there is a treasure of my clan in the forbidden land." A few days ago, he attended the coming-of-age ceremony and was resentful that he was not washed by ambergris, and he must have had a heart of theft. I don't want this thief's heart to be bigger than the sky, not only stole all the dragon saliva, but also took away the dragon vein essence in my clan and cut off the root of my Shangguan family. The more the Great Elder spoke, the more angry he became, and finally stared at Lin Xin: "I gave him this palm is quite light, if you don't hand over the treasures of my Shangguan family, you will definitely regret being a man." ”

Let me regret being a man?" Lin Xin hummed in his heart, speaking better than singing. But it's no wonder that the Great Elder is so angry, and the dragon vein essence and all the dragon saliva in the forbidden land have been stolen, which must be a big deal in the clan!

Dragging his injured body, Lin Xin raised his head and said, "What is the trouble of wanting to add to the crime?" Shangguan Lan, the head of the family, also said: "These inferences alone can't prove that Lin Xin is the one who stole the treasures of my clan, right?"

The Great Elder said again: "He disappeared for three or four days for no reason, and it was at this time that my Shangguan family's treasures were lost, and now they are found in the forbidden land of the back mountain. If he didn't steal what is in my people, who stole it?"

I've been in the cave for three or four days, why do I think it's only one night at most? He didn't know that in order to give himself more time to wait for the arrival, the beast seniors used spells to make their energy flow more slowly. He was also affected when he got along with it, and it had already been three days since he chatted with the beast seniors and passed on his skills.

Seeing that Lin Xin was deep in thought, and thought that he was running out of words, the Great Elder immediately said: "Now you have nothing to say, I think you should hurry up and hand over the things." Shangguan Lan also thought that Lin Xin was speechless and fell into deep thought, but asked again: "Great Elder, you and I both know that Lin Xin has only just started to cultivate, and it can be said that he is still an ordinary person without any mana. Now he can't even read the law in the jade slip, how can he have the ability to enter the forbidden land without us leading the way? Moreover, there are many mechanisms in the cave, he doesn't understand the secret art of the mechanism, how can he go to the jade dragon cave to obtain treasures. ”

The Great Elder said, "Who knows if he has any helpers? Besides, it's not like he hasn't been to the cave before, and it's not impossible to say that he can't open the cave door at all to control the mechanism in the cave." How can you go up to the forbidden land? Hmph......" The Great Elder snorted violently, took out an object from the table, looked at Lin Xin more and more angry, and said, "In the past two days, the clan has searched all over the back mountain and found this. You're so smart! Haha, you can't figure it out. ”

Snap, and throw things to the ground with that. Lin Xin originally had the idea of "don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door", no matter what you say, I'm not afraid. But when the Great Elder took out this thing, he secretly said that it was terrible when he saw it. This is a melon field and plum, and there are all human and material evidence, so it is difficult to explain it clearly.

Shangguan Lan was puzzled, and said, "Great Elder, what are you doing with these branches? How can these prove that Lin Xin is the one who stole the treasures in the clan?" The Great Elder said: "Hmph, the clan guards searched the back mountain, but they didn't see any trace of the thief, so they had to expand the search area. The branches were removed from the stone wall of the backhill waterfall, and the guards who found the object reported that there were traces of climbing on the stone wall. These branches are inserted in the cracks of the stone and used to settle down and exert strength. ”

Shangguan Lan said again: "These alone can't explain anything, right?" The Great Elder didn't deny it, and said slowly: "Of course, the branches are just ordinary items, and they can be found everywhere. But does the head of the house know this belt?" he was referring to a man's belt that had been thrown along with the branches. Shangguan Lan was puzzled: "This, this is ......"

"Yes, this is the unique brocade silk belt of our Shangguan family, and it has the unique logo of my Shangguan family on it. I have already investigated, and this belt is owned by Lin Xin. After the Great Elder finished speaking, he took out all the evidence that should be taken, and snorted and sat down in his place.

Only then did the head of the family remember why this belt was so familiar, it turned out to be owned by Lin Xin. This belt is obviously not owned by an adult man, and it has the mark of the Shangguan family, and in the Shangguan family, it is easy to know who owns it.

The speculation was reasonable, and with the belt on the side as proof, Shangguan Lan was a little skeptical of his judgment. Could it be that I really attracted an ungrateful white-eyed wolf? No, it must not be like this, he stared at Lin Xin and said, "Lin Xin, did you tell Shibo that you did this. ”

Seeing Shibo's blank expression, how could Lin Xin not know that he was also doubting himself in his heart, and said at the moment: "I, Lin Xin, dare to do it, I have done it, I have done it, I have not done it, and I have not stolen the treasures in the back mountain." The head of the family looked back at which belt and asked, "Then is this belt really yours?" Lin Xin stopped talking.

This can be regarded as a tacit acquiescence, Shangguan Lan felt more and more uncomfortable when he saw this, and said, "Can you tell Shibo why you want to climb to the waterfall?"

How can I explain this? At that time, I was going to go to the forbidden land in the back mountains, but it didn't work, and they wouldn't believe themselves when I said it. Now that Shi Bo is beginning to doubt himself, the Great Elder is completely convinced in his heart that he is a thief, and even if he explains, he is so pale and weak.

Seeing that Lin Xin was still silent, Shangguan Lan's face was full of regret.
