Murder the master in an attempt to replace him? This wasn't an ordinary crime...
The white-bearded elder's words reverberated throughout the house, causing everyone to keep quiet out of fear.
The white-bearded elder was Si Ye Han's grandfather's second younger brother, Si Ming Rong, who was also Si Ye Han's second great uncle. He had the highest seniority and prestige in the clan; even the old madam would discuss many things with him and listen to his opinions.
In the clan, he was equivalent to the law enforcer. He had been loyal and devoted to the Si family for many years, doing his best to support the master and never being afraid of offending anyone.
The moment Si Ming Rong finished speaking, almost everyone turned to look at an elderly man in a suit leisurely drinking tea in the corner.
The elderly man in a suit looked to be in his sixties. When he saw everyone staring at him, his face darkened. * cough * "Uncle Rong, you can't say that, right?"
The person who spoke was Si Ye Han's paternal uncle, Si Huai Liang, the son of his third great uncle. Back then, when Si Ye Han's father, Si Huai Zhang, died, Si Ye Han's uncles fought tooth and nail. Even after Si Ye Han reclaimed the position many years later, those people were still secretly scheming against him.
Si Huai Liang, in particular, loved to form cliques and even caused a scene many times after getting drunk to express his dissatisfaction with Si Ye Han. He cursed how a young brat like Si Ye Han had the right to monopolize the position of master and even threatened to find someone to kill him. He couldn't blame others for thinking of him first.
The white-bearded elder glanced at Si Huai Liang sternly. "I was just making a guess. Why are you so guilty? Could it be that you sent those people? "
Si Huai Liang panicked. "Uncle Rong! You can't speak carelessly! I just feel that it's too damaging to suspect our own family just based on a subordinate's words without any evidence! Don't you think so? "
The others chimed in one after another, "Uncle Rong's suspicions aren't unreasonable, but such a serious crime naturally needs to be investigated thoroughly and find concrete evidence!"
"That's right, now that the master is seriously ill and in a coma, we don't have a leader. We can't let our own people fall into chaos!"
The white-bearded elder said sternly, "Of course we have to investigate! And we have to start with our own people! As long as you're upright, there's nothing to worry about! "
The old lady took a deep breath and opened her tightly closed eyes. Thinking that her grandson had almost lost his life this time, she glanced at the crowd and said coldly, "Your Uncle Zhong is right. Since there is no evidence, we will wait until we find it! We will start the investigation from the inside. Everyone must cooperate with the investigation. Otherwise, we will deal with them as traitors!
I've already warned you time and time again that infighting and killing each other are strictly prohibited. If I find anyone who dares to violate this taboo, I won't let them off lightly! "
Si Huailiang pursed his lips and did not dare to object. "Yes, yes, yes. Aunt, I will definitely cooperate! But, I want to make something clear. Eldest Aunt, you understand me the best. I have a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Although I usually say some shameless things, it's absolutely impossible for me to do such a thing to Ah Jiu! Please investigate clearly! "
Old Mrs. Han glanced at him coldly. "As long as you didn't do it, we won't wrong you!"
After the Old Madam finished speaking, she said to the old butler beside her, "Pass down my order, within three days …"
