Huo Nanchuan nodded, agreeing with what Chi Wan said.
He thought so too.
But the current difficulties are really quite great.
Huo Nanchuan kept guarding for three days, but the opponent was too cunning and he couldn't even catch a shadow of him.
The only loot was a few pairs of shoes.
That was because the other party couldn't see the way in the fish pond clearly and didn't want to go into the water. Then he heard Huo Nanchuan's voice, and ran away in a hurry without picking up his shoes.
These pairs of shoes are indeed evidence.
This is evidence like this, leaving too much room for excuses.
Not entirely evidence.
Chi Wan looked at Huo Nanchuan's reaction.
She thought of something and asked, "Achuan, you actually... know who those people are, right?"
Huo Nanchuan nodded as expected.
We all lived in the same village for dozens of people. Not to mention the shoes, even if we only saw the walking posture, we could recognize each other's identity.
However, this is also what is most annoying.
They knew who the culprit was, but they did not bring them to justice.
The law will never work.
So……
늀Fight magic with magic.
Chi Wan suddenly thought of something that happened a few months ago.
She stood up suddenly.
Said excitedly.
"Achuan, I know how to solve this problem! Let's go and find the third uncle of the Huo family with the evidence!"
…
This afternoon.
Ancestral hall.
The current head of the Huo family, the third uncle of the Huo family, called on everyone to come to the meeting through the village loudspeaker.
In the beginning, this Xiaoshan Village only had the Huo family.
However, after hundreds of years of development, there are more and more people from other families in the village, but in essence, they all belong to the Huo family.
Therefore, even if everyone has a different surname, they still believe in the same clan.
The main family among them is naturally the one led by the third uncle of the Huo family.
As for Huo Nanchuan, he is a branch of the main family.
For this gathering, the third uncle of the Huo family even used the name of "clan meeting".
When everyone knew the news, they all rushed to the clan.
It was discovered that the person sitting in the main seat was not only the third uncle of the Huo family, but even the previous patriarch, the ninth grandfather of the Huo family, had been asked to leave the mountain.
Everyone was shocked.
all of a sudden.
Everyone realized that the situation was serious.
Such a grand occasion only happens once or twice, such as during festivals or sacrifices.
Just an ordinary day like this.
Then if a person does something extremely bad, the clan will expel him.
In this closed place.
If someone is expelled from the clan, it will immediately become difficult for him to move around in the village.
"Uncle San, what's going on? Why is there a clan meeting all of a sudden?"
"Yes, it's so sudden that they even invited the Ninth Master to come out. It's not too surprising."
"Our village has been very peaceful recently, nothing has happened at all."
Everyone was suddenly puzzled.
but.
The third uncle of the Huo family took the walking stick in his hand, knocked on the ground and said something.
"It's all right, isn't it clear to me?"
As soon as these words came out.
The people around were silent for a moment.
They didn't even dare to look into the eyes of the third uncle of the Huo family.
It seemed as if this old man would really see through me.
It's not necessarily that they are thieves, but everyone in this world has suffered some harm.
No one dares to say such a thing.
Accompanied by silence.
Huo Nanchuan also walked into the ancestral hall.
Not long after, the eldest and third oldest of the Huo family, as well as the children from both families, followed in.
The ancestral hall remained the same as before, only men were allowed to enter.
The women just stood outside and listened to the noise.
Huo Chuchun was very afraid of this place.
It is clearly just a room, but the towering tablet inside gives people an incredible sense of oppression.
It seems that as soon as you get close to here, you will immediately feel difficulty breathing.
Chi Wan held Huo Chuchun's hand tightly and comforted her softly.
Chi Wan is not to be feared.
She knew very well what these so-called ancestral halls were.
It was born in ignorance, but it can also restrain ignorance.
The people outside the ancestral hall were all nervous and scared.
Not to mention the people in the ancestral hall.
It was a dark mass, a group of men with their heads down, no longer shouting and yelling.
The third uncle of the Huo family looked around.
He asked, "Is everyone here?"
The man next to the third uncle of the Huo family immediately lowered his head and said.
"Third uncle, all the men in the village are here."
The third uncle of the Huo family nodded and said, "Okay."
Talking.
The third uncle of the Huo family supported himself with a cane and slowly stood up.
The first one to stand up was the ninth master of the Huo family.
They lit incense and offered incense, first worshipping the countless ancestors in the ancestral hall.
"Our Huo family has been here for three hundred years. It is thanks to the blessing of our ancestors that we have been able to survive and multiply through the turbulent times."
"For example, everyone in this ancestral hall is from the Huo family, sharing the same incense and bloodline."
"Burning incense, bowing."
Crashing.
Everyone nodded and bowed.
Some of those who were older in age and seniority even knelt down and kowtowed.
The whole process took five minutes.
This oppressive atmosphere has been spreading continuously.
There was tension on everyone's face.
After the process of bowing.
The third uncle of the Huo family turned around slowly and looked at everyone present.
He said, "Since you are willing to kowtow and acknowledge your ancestors, you must acknowledge that we are all of the same bloodline! Our Huo family has persisted for hundreds of years without falling, relying on the concerted efforts of all of us! Forgetting one's ancestors and harming one's clan is the biggest taboo in the clan rules, haven't you forgotten it?"
“I haven’t forgotten!”
"How could you forget this?"
"I remember it all in my memory, Third Uncle."
Many people answered.
but.
The Huo family's third uncle's expression was still very serious, without any sign of relaxation.
"Since you all remember them, then what are these things?"
The moment the words fell.
There was another rustling sound.
all of a sudden.
Several shoes were thrown onto the floor tiles in the middle of the ancestral hall.
Some were shocked, some were curious, and some... turned pale all of a sudden, panicking and not knowing what to do.
Huo Nanchuan stood there and looked around.
In this glance, he saw that the expression of everyone was exactly what he thought.
Even more!
These people indeed didn't lose their shoes, but from the loud noise of someone falling into the water and the wet shoes in front of them, they probably have guessed what happened.
But they didn't expect that Huo Nanchuan would actually ask the Huo family's third uncle to come forward and take charge of the situation.
Or say.
They didn't expect that the Third Uncle of the Huo family would be willing to even hold a clan meeting for such a thing.
They underestimated Huo Nanchuan.
