The Fang family is in chaos, and the ancestor wakes up
The Song family received an imperial edict on their family order.
"...Hold a hearing to reiterate the old case in Yingzhou."
The eldest elder of the Song family slowly sat down on the chair in a daze, and the family order in his hand flashed, and then there was no sound.
Now in this secret room, all the senior members of the Fang family sat in a circle. Such scenes happen every day, and it has evolved into a roll call.
They are like trapped beasts, without rules, and unable to move.
It's not passive sabotage, but what can they do? The ancestor and the elders who were sent that day are still missing, and it is very likely that they have...
"Ancestor, has he really met with an accident?" At the clan meetings these days, someone would ask this question.
Every time, the elder would answer him impatiently, just like this time: "The soul lamp is still there, the ancestor must be safe and sound."
Every time this happened, the topic would come to an abrupt end, as if touching some taboo.
After that, the senior members of the Fang family who were originally participating in the clan meeting to discuss the charter would all be silent, looking at each other, sitting there with the same look of defeat and despair on their faces.
It was the same today.
The only difference was that the elder announced at the meeting that the Immortal Product Bureau would hold a hearing in three days, and asked the Fang family to attend and reiterate the old case.
So today's clan meeting had more conversations.
"Hasn't the old case of Yingzhou been decided? What else is there to discuss!" An angry and dissatisfied tone.
"Reiterate, reiterate. All the members of the Qin family are dead. What's the point of reiterating?"
"Can the Qin family survive if we dig up the truth of the case?"
They complained like this, as if they were using this as an outlet to release all their sorrows.
But after complaining, they all fell silent again.
Family members know their own affairs. They know the truth of the past very well. There is really no need to reiterate this case because it cannot withstand investigation.
The truth is covered by a thin layer of sand and only needs a gust of wind.
The Qin family could not make the truth known because they exhausted the strength of the entire family and could not borrow that gust of wind.
But now, the east wind has arrived. Even the sky is helping them.
The great elder exhaled slowly, and suddenly said: "At the hearing, we must stick to the verdict of that year. As long as they can't find solid evidence, they can't do anything to us."
The other senior executives were shocked, as if they suddenly found strength, "Yes, as long as we stick to it... without evidence, even if public opinion is a big deal, the foundation of the Fang family can still be preserved, and when the ancestor comes back--"
The elder stopped talking halfway. The other senior executives also turned their eyes to him. A trace of regret flashed across his face, he shouldn't have mentioned it...
In the suffocating silence, someone suddenly stood up and hammered the red sandalwood table hard.
"What a critical moment, you are still deceiving yourself! The ancestor has most likely already fallen... killed by Qin Ruqing, that evil star!"
"How can you say anything about the safety of the ancestor!"
"The ancestor's soul lamp is still there, what can the thief do? Is he an undercover sent by the Qin family to deliberately instigate?"
The man has a square face, is eight feet tall, and looks like a physical cultivator. After seeing the reaction of this group of people, a wave of disappointment surged in his heart. Knowing that the Fang family is doomed, he simply scolded them directly.
"You bunch of rubbish are still dreaming here, hoping that the ancestor is not dead and can come back to save you? You may even be hoping that the monster of the Qin family will suddenly die. It's all just a joke, right? Bah, you stupid things, just dream about your Spring and Autumn period!"
"The Song family is so cunning, this time they have put all their efforts into promoting the Qin family and made the matter known to the four regions. What do they want? Are they after those spirit stones, or do they want your Fang family to settle accounts with them
in the future?" "They want to, so that there will be no more Fang family in the world! They are trying to show goodwill to the Qin family, and to go a step further, they are trying to show goodwill to Qin Ruqing, and express their willingness to curry favor in advance!"
This man looked like a physical cultivator, and his voice was very strong. He was scolded by those old antiques until his face turned blue and red, and he wished he could find a hole to crawl into.
The man only opened half of the fire, cleared his throat and continued with the next paragraph, as if he wanted to vent all the resentment during this period.
"I know you want to talk about the ancestor's soul lamp, idiot, have you forgotten what the golden flame that the demon star is good at using is? The golden mist soul fire! The soul lamp has not been extinguished, which only means that the ancestor still has a trace of soul left, but you expect that soul to come back? Does the golden mist soul fire eat vegetarian food?"
"If you hadn't witnessed the ancestor's death with your own eyes, could the Song family have done it? Think about it with your uncivilized brains! If you have time to expect yourself here, you might as well think more about what to say at the hearing. If you really can't do it, practice crying. Cry to the demon star or the people from the Immortal Product Bureau, maybe they will let you go!"
With a "bang" sound, the great elder slammed the table hard. His face was as cold as ice and he looked at the big man sharply: "Hanshan, you've gone too far."
With the great elder's scolding, the others seemed to finally have the confidence to refute and they all started shouting:
"Qi Hanshan, you are barking at our Fang family's clan meeting? Have you been a worshiper for more than ten or twenty years and think you are a superior person? You come to lecture us and talk about our ancestors? Who are you!"
Qi Hanshan felt really disheartened at this moment. He had been a worshiper of the Fang family for more than ten years and had always been devoted to them. He had already regarded himself as a real member of the Fang family. I didn't expect to be answered with a casual "Who are you?"
I didn't even want to curse him anymore. I just looked up, looked around at everyone, and said in a deep voice:
"Everything I, Qi Hanshan, have done for the Fang family over the years is well documented. Even if the ancestor is judging me in the underworld, I will hold my head high and have a clear conscience."
"You say I am not worthy of being a member of the Fang family, then I will not be a member of the Fang family." He
took off the offering card from his waist, gently placed it on the table, pushed it forward and let go, turned around and left without hesitation.
"What an attitude!" After he left, someone spat at his back.
However, someone suggested to the elder with a sinister look on his face: "Elder, this man is no longer on the same page with our Fang family. Shouldn't we..." He made a gesture of wiping his neck.
The elder sighed in a complicated tone: "Do you think I want to tolerate him? If the ancestor was still here..." He quickly changed his tone and said, "Now the Fang family only has two Yuanyings, me and him. The family can no longer withstand any more setbacks. Let him go. You and I will go to the hearing in three days."
"Also, what happened at the meeting, stop the rumors, the people in the clan are already uneasy. Those who spread rumors to confuse the people... just kill them directly."
With the words of the great elder, several people were indeed killed later, and the Fang family seemed to have stabilized.
However, each nerve is like a taut string, and it will collapse as long as a little external force is applied.
And this little external force is the hearing.
With the promotion of the Song family (of course they are indispensable for such a thing!), the news of the hearing quickly spread to the ears of the people in the four regions.
It was an unprecedented enthusiasm. So far, no hearing in any fairy product bureau has received such enthusiastic attention.
The Eastern Region Fairy Product Bureau did not hide it, and even stated generously that it was true.
They will review the old case of Yingzhou that year. If there is really an injustice, they will give an explanation to the innocent!
"It's really too late to give an explanation to the innocent... Why didn't you do it earlier!" Qi Rong said with a sneer.
"For Xianpin, now is the most appropriate time to come forward. If they come forward too early, they will be tied to the Qin family early and lose the reputation of fairness. If they come forward too late, they will lose the support of the people and cause public resentment. Now is just right." Tang Zifeng commented without emotion. Qin
Ruqing was lying on a reclining chair, and the morning sun outside the window just covered her body with a thin layer, making her skin as white and translucent as milk. The reclining chair swayed slightly, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, looking leisurely.
"Sister, what do you say?" Qi Rong poked his head out.
"What can I say?" Qin Ruqing opened his eyes, "I think it's good. Didn't the Feng family do everything they could? The teleportation array that was used to rescue the ancestor was provided by their family. For this reason, the Qin family will remember this favor."
"But, but..." Qi Rong stammered, and after talking for a long time, he couldn't come up with a reason.
Qin Ruqing smiled: "You think the Feng family is too 'shrewd' and too 'calculating'. It always makes people feel uncomfortable, right?"
"Yes!" Qi Rong hummed fiercely.
"Give up that idea! Reality is not a storybook, nor is it the story about Qin Aotian that you read when you were a child. Why should they put you first in everything and do what you want?"
"That's true, but it always makes people feel a little sad."
"I'm not sad. I never expected anything from them, so any unexpected gains are surprises." Qin Ruqing said, and kicked the rocking chair again, rocking leisurely, without any depression.
Qirong hummed, as if digesting Qin Ruqing's words. And Tang Zifeng, with his dark eyes falling on Qin Ruqing's face, revealed a hint of contemplation.
Never expected anything...
Tang Zifeng wanted to say something, but suddenly heard a series of hurried footsteps coming from outside the court. Looking out the window, I just saw Lu Wei's profile passing by.
Lu Wei ran in, holding the door frame with one hand, and said with a hint of surprise on her face:
"Ancestor, the ancestor is awake!"
Qin Ruqing sat up straight from the rocking chair.
-
Qin Wenxuan opened her eyes and was dazed for a moment.
She thought she should be dead. Yuan Ying's tribulation was forcibly interrupted, and she was hit hard by the old monster Fang. She should not survive.
Qin Wenxuan was actually very calm. The deepest thought before she fainted was: the self-destruction was not successful.
Just thinking about it for a while, a smell of medicine suddenly came from the tip of her nose. Qin Wenxuan's nose moved. She was a master of alchemy, and she quickly thought of more than a dozen uses for this medicine.
... Wait, her body seems to have been carefully bandaged?
Qin Wenxuan heard a rustling sound, turned her head and looked over, and unexpectedly saw Lu Wei's child.
She had grown up, and had a graceful and dignified temperament. She was holding a porcelain bowl in her hand and staring at her in shock.
Qin Wenxuan tried to smile. As a result, the child took a few quick steps, put the medicine bowl on the small table beside the bed, and turned around and left.
"Ancestor, I'm going to find Qingqing!"
Qingqing.
When Qin Wenxuan heard the name, her heart moved, and the first reaction of her mouth was to raise the corners of her mouth, feeling inexplicably relieved.
What was she relieved about?
She didn't die. But under the command of the Ancestor Huashen, even if she didn't die, she should have been imprisoned and detained. How could she be taken care of so comfortably and at ease?
She saw Lu Wei again. It was obvious that she had been rescued.
But who would come to save her? Who would have the ability to save her?
There might be only one answer. It was Qingqing.
How incredible!
She had seen Qingqing's extraordinaryness when she was a child, but even if she exhausted her imagination throughout her life, she could not have imagined that she would grow up to this day!
A series of footsteps began to be heard outside the door again, and it sounded like more than one person.
The ancestor knew they were coming.
She looked over and saw a bright red figure, a little thin, and a little brilliant, against the light, like a ball of hot and galloping fireworks.
The ancestor felt inexplicably wet in her eyes. She saw the child smile, with his mouth open, and he seemed to be about to speak. At that moment, many touching and tender words popped up in the ancestor's mind.
There are so many things to say! The corners of the old ancestor's mouth were already raised.
But the next second, Qin Ruqing raised his voice and shouted with emotion:
"Old ancestor, Qingqing is here!"
Qingqing is here.
The old ancestor's soft smile froze, and the words in his mind suddenly disappeared at this moment.
