Chapter 469 Invitation
"Patriarch!"
The two people who were shocked cried out in unison, looking at the elegant middle-aged man in front of them with disbelief.
The man was graceful and handsome, giving people a feeling of being as handsome as a jade.
He walked down the steps slowly, with a calm look in his eyes.
"The two elders don't need to stand up, I already know the general situation."
After saying this, he had already walked from the steps to the table, looking at the two elders who were full of shock in their eyes with a calm look, and asked: "Where is Xiaosheng's body?"
When saying this, the tone of the Jun family head clearly revealed some sadness.
After all, the person who died was his own son, and it was impossible for him not to have a trace of grief in his heart.
When the two elders heard the patriarch mention the young patriarch, their faces turned bad.
"Originally, the patriarch arranged for the young patriarch to go out for training, and thought that there would be no danger in the Southern Qi Kingdom. Who could have thought..."
The elder lowered his head, his face was extremely pale, and his voice was full of anger.
Elder Qi asked the Jun family disciples guarding the door to carry in the coffin belonging to Jun Sheng that was placed at the door.
This inn is the property of the Jun family, so naturally no one dared to come and stop it.
The reason why it was placed at the door was because it seemed a bit crowded in the lobby.
The patriarch of the Jun family looked at the coffin, stood up and walked to the side, stretched out his hand to open the lid of the coffin, revealing the corpse inside that was already somewhat rotten and smelly.
Even though the weather in Nanqi is cold now and there are still ice blocks inside, the corpse still cannot be stopped from decaying.
The two elders looked at the expression of their own patriarch, and their hearts were lifted up. They stood at the back with their heads down and dared not say a word.
It is said that the current patriarch of the Jun family has a good temper and is kind to everyone, but only these elders understand that there is no patriarch of the Jun family who is not ruthless, and kindness is just their appearance.
The patriarch of the Jun family looked at the corpse in the coffin for a long time without saying anything.
After a long while, he slowly said, "Close the lid."
"Yes!"
The elder took the initiative to step forward and close the lid of the coffin.
At this time, a voice came.
"Dad!"
The voice was a bit crying, and Jun Qiu ran out from the room next to him.
Two members of the Jun family were chasing after her.
"Miss, please slow down!"
Jun Qiu was
a member of the Jun family after all. The two elders only arranged for someone to take care of her, and did not prohibit her from moving around like Madam Xu did. After the Jun family came back, Jun Qiu was in a state of panic all the way.
After seeing the head of the Jun family, she suddenly broke down emotionally, and then knelt down directly.
"It was my daughter who failed to protect Xiao Sheng. Please punish me, father!"
When the head of the Jun family saw Jun Qiu, his expression relaxed a little.
"Xiao Sheng's death has nothing to do with you. Get up."
Jun Qiu's eyes were red. Hearing her father say this, she stood up carefully and stood aside with her head down.
The head of the Jun family glanced at her, "Your brother's death was an accident, it has nothing to do with you, and you don't need to blame yourself."
Jun Qiu nodded, tensed up, and suddenly said in a firm voice: "Qiu'er will definitely avenge Xiao Sheng, even if it means risking her life."
The head of the Jun family was stunned, and looked at Jun Qiu with a solemn look in his eyes.
"I have already lost a son, and I can't lose my daughter too. You don't have to intervene in this matter. Go back home in a few days and have a good rest. Your mother has learned about Xiao Sheng's death and is now heartbroken. Remember to comfort her after you go back."
Jun Qiu's lips turned pale when she heard this.
"Dad, Qiu'er won't go back, so let your daughter avenge her brother!"
She was obviously afraid of Mrs. Jun, and even trembled when she thought of it.
The head of the Jun family was stunned, and frowned at Jun Qiu.
"Be obedient, go back when I tell you to, don't mess around!"
The Jun family head always keeps his word. Jun Qiu wanted to say something, but she didn't dare to.
She didn't dare to think about how she would be punished by her mother after she went back .
It was even possible that she would be worse off than dead!
The elder said to the Jun family head: "There is one more thing I would like to ask the family head for help. The eldest lady accidentally offended the regent king of Beiling Kingdom and was caught by him. The other party asked to use the third master to replace the eldest lady." The
Jun family head looked a little puzzled: "Replace my third brother?"
"That's right. The Regent King also said that if you don't hand over the Third Master, he will destroy the Jun family. I don't think the Regent King is joking. Now should we hand him over?"
The head of the Jun family shook his head and said, "Do you want to leave the Jun family? I will discuss it with him after I go back. If he wants to see those people, he can go and see them. If he doesn't want to, I guess no one can force him."
The elder was also a little embarrassed: "The Third Master hasn't stepped out of the door for many years. It is indeed difficult to let him out."
Elder Qi was anxious: "Now is not the time to let the third master be willful. The regent of Beiling Kingdom is not a good person. The eldest lady has been released, but if we don't hand her over to him, the Jun family may be in trouble. If it really doesn't work, you, the head of the family, go and ask the third master to meet the regent for the sake of the whole family."
The three of them were chatting about Jun Wuce here.
But their attitude was very humble.
It was not like what Elder Mo said at the time, that Jun Wuce was imprisoned in the Jun family and had no freedom at all.
The head of the Jun family was originally named Jun Xingtian. He was the second in the generation of the Jun family. Jun Xingke was his elder brother, and Jun Wuce was his third brother.
Because he had a gentle personality since childhood, he did not participate in the competition for the head of the family, and stayed in the Jun family obediently.
Later, the Jun family encountered trouble and this generation was almost wiped out, and the burden of the head of the family fell on him.
This position of the head of the family was picked up by him.
Elder Qi also said: "That day I received a letter from Elder Mo, saying that the Jun family's Patriarch Order was also in the hands of the Beiling Regent King. The young patriarch had a little conflict with him in order to get the Patriarch Order back. Perhaps it was because of these reasons that the young patriarch died in the Nanqi Palace."
The Jun family head was indeed shocked.
Needless to say, the importance of the Patriarch Order is crucial. The vast majority of the Jun family's wealth and accumulation can only be mobilized with the Patriarch Order.
If you are the head of the family, but you don't have the Patriarch Order, it is equivalent to an empty shell.
He used to think that the Patriarch Order was carried by Jun Wuce, but now he heard what Elder Qi said, and he knew the real location of the Patriarch Order.
"So that's how it is. In that case, don't they want to see my third brother? Invite the Prince Regent of Beiling to come to my Jun family's old house in person. If they want to see him, just let them see him. It's okay, and I don't have to ask my third brother to go out."
The elder was shocked: "Master, if this happens, won't people know where my Jun family's ancestral land is?"
Upon hearing this, the master of the Jun family sneered and looked out the window: "With Beiling and Nanqi joining forces, the Jun family has no place to hide. Sooner or later, they will be discovered. It's not too late to surrender now. Do as I say!"
Three days later, Ling Fengxun received an invitation written by the master of the Jun family.
