"It seems that everyone is thinking the same thing as Patriarch Ding?"
He spoke again, but his gaze had become much colder.
The Yue Zhengs had been the chief clan for generations. They could sacrifice everything for the Ancient Clan, but they would not allow others to provoke them like this.
Those clan leaders, who were used to taking advantage of their seniority and even treated the words of a junior like Yue Zhengzixiu as nonsense, could not help but mutter to themselves when they heard this.
However, how could the prejudice that had been formed over many years be changed in a short period of time?
Apart from Patriarch Ding, the other people's reactions were also quite perfunctory.
"Sigh, my nephew's words are a little hurtful."
"Moreover, it's not that we don't trust Patriarch Yue Zheng, but … sigh, people are biased, and we can't bear to see you in a difficult position!"
Some people dared to speak out, but there were naturally some who were too embarrassed to say it out loud. However, their attitudes were very clear. They were probably all using these words to pressure him so that he could smooth things over and get the Ding Clan out of this.
How could Yue Zhengzixiu not understand now that things had come to this?
His eyes were cold and indifferent as he looked at everyone.
"It seems that in your eyes, I, the chief clan leader, only have an undeserved reputation."
Seeing that he did not seem to be compromising, everyone wanted to continue speaking, but they were stopped by Yue Zhengzixiu's words.
"Very well. Since everyone feels that I, the chief clan leader, do not handle matters fairly, then I will give you a chance to be fair. "
"Thirteen years ago, the truth of the rebellion by the traitors is still unclear to this day."
"If we want to investigate, then let's start with that."
After he spoke, there was complete silence.
That matter …
Some people looked confused. They didn't know what the case from thirteen years ago meant.
However, those who knew were already drenched in cold sweat.
Why did he suddenly mention this matter now?
Could it be that he really had some evidence?
However, they buried all their guesses in their hearts because they knew very well that once this matter was brought up, what awaited them would probably be the destruction of their clan!
Those who knew did not dare to mention it, and those who did not know did not know how to bring it up.
For a moment, they fell into a deadlock.
In the end, it was Yue Zhengzixiu, who had already expected all this, who spoke first.
"Why are you all not speaking? I'm sure some of you want to know why I brought up the old matter again, right? "
He sat upright in the chief position.
He clearly had such a young face, but he had an imposing aura that made those who had a guilty conscience feel unconsciously guilty.
"Because that was the first matter I dealt with after my parents died tragically and I was forced to take over as the chief clan leader.
"I remember that at that time, it was Old Chen, Patriarch Pei … No, it should be the traitor Pei Qianji and a few elders of the ancient clan who suggested that I put this matter aside, right?"
His tone was neither fast nor slow, but it was enough to make Old Chen's heart.
Clan leader's voice, Yue Yue's words were too distant and too far away.
"Clan leader is.
Yue Zhengzixiu looked deeply at Elder Chen. "Since it's difficult for me to convince the masses, I'm sure you all have some complaints about me."
"I'm a serious person by nature. Since everyone thinks so, I must reflect on myself and correct all my mistakes."
"That was the first decision I made after I became the clan leader, so let's start from the beginning. Old Chen, you still remember what happened back then, right?"
Old Chen seemed to have been struck dumb by Yue Zhengzixiu's words.
Even after his name was called, he was like an old man in his twilight years. It took a while for him to react.
"Oh, about this, I've already …"
"But I heard that before you came to Yuehu City, didn't you discuss with Clan Leader Pei about how to stop the traitors at the 13th Gate?"
"At that time, didn't you tell Pei Qianji that you were afraid that what happened 13 years ago would happen again, so you had to get rid of them this time?"
"What? Have you forgotten about it already? "
Old Chen was not a talkative person, but when he started to speak, every word he said was like a sharp knife stabbing into Old Chen's chest.
"You, you …"
Old Chen clutched his chest and stammered for a long time, but he could not say a complete sentence.
But at this moment, his eyes were filled with shock and anger.
How did Yue Zhengzixiu know what he and Pei Qianji were talking about?
Or could it be that he had long suspected him and even sent someone to spy on him?
In the next moment, Old Chen felt a chill from the bottom of his feet to the top of his skull.
Old Chen's eyes were wide open, but he fell backward.
"Old Chen!"
In the next moment, many people shouted in shock.
Some people even rushed to help him up.
Only Yue Zhengzixiu looked over coldly, a mocking expression slowly appearing on his face.
"How dare he do evil, but he can't help but be frightened."
"It seems that this old man is not just a little guilty."
"He must have done nothing good in the dark over the years."
As soon as Old Chen fell, the crowd stopped paying attention to other things.
In the end, Yue Zhengzixiu showed mercy and asked someone to send Old Chen back.
As for the matter between the Ding Family and the Xu Family.
From the way the Ding Clan's Clan Head sent Elder Chen back with a sullen expression, it was clear that the Ding Clan's Clan Head intended to shed all pretense of cordiality with him.
"Clan Leader Yue, isn't it a little too hasty?"
As soon as Old Chen left, Clan Leader Xu's gloomy face was gone.
He just looked at Yue Zhengzixiu worriedly, feeling a little uneasy.
He just wanted to bite the Ding Family hard, but he didn't expect it to be so serious!
However, Yue Zhengzixiu didn't feel anxious or regretful at all.
If one looked closely, one could see that he felt a little refreshed.
It had been a long time since he had confronted them so happily.
He even fainted. It felt good!
"It doesn't matter."
He turned around and saw the worried face of the Xu Family's Master. A rare faint smile appeared on his face.
"The Ding Clan is targeting you because of that old debt from back then. Besides, it was thanks to Grandpa Xu's support that I could become the Clan Leader. "
Hearing this, the eyes of the Xu Family's Master involuntarily turned red.
The Xu Family was also a large family, and even his brother and sister were close friends with Yue Zhengzixiu's father.
However, he didn't expect that the Yue Family's Clan Leader and his wife would die thirteen years ago.
His brother, sister, and brother-in-law went to look for them, but they were still missing.
Later, faced with everyone's covetous eyes, his old father risked everything to support Yue Zhengzixiu, and because of this, his vitality was greatly damaged.
He was unwilling, but he could only lie low for a few years.
Fortunately, Patriarch Yue Zheng remembered everything that the Xu Family had done!
That was enough!
"Uncle Xu, go back now, quietly gather the clan members, and bring them to me. Remember, don't alarm anyone. "
Yue Zhengzixiu's face darkened, and his tone was quite serious.
"Okay, okay, I know."
This nondescript form of address represented the close relationship between them.
Yue Zhengzixiu's mind was also working quickly.
From the attitude of these people, he would think of Clan Leader Gong's unusual behavior today.
Some answers appeared in his mind.
However, since Clan Leader Gong didn't tell him, it meant that he didn't want him to intervene.
He also understood that Clan Leader Gong was afraid that he might be put in a difficult position because he was from the same clan.
For a moment, his feelings toward Gong Ya became more complicated.
This girl's thoughts were really thorough.
But in fact, Lin Mengya just thought that he was too much of a hindrance.
If she were the leader of the ancient clan, she would have beaten those bastards into submission. How could she allow them to be so presumptuous?
As soon as it was dark, a figure sneaked out of Yuehu City with his waist bent.
The city gate was not big, and because of the poisonous bees a while ago, there were no guards here.
Therefore, this person thought that he had not been discovered.
In fact, everything fell into the eyes of others.
"Master, the Chen Family really sent someone out of the city. Our people saw that he had been taken away by those people outside."
Baisu, who was dressed in a suit, came to report.
Although it was late at night, she was still full of energy and didn't feel tired at all.
Lin Mengya, on the other hand, was a little drowsy even though she was lying on the heated brick bed. If it weren't for her man supporting her, she would have collapsed as if she had no bones.
"Okay, I got it. Please continue to keep an eye on him."
"Yes."
Miss Baisu was full of heroism as she strode out.
Long Tianhao, on the other hand, continued to massage her aching lumbar spine and whispered to his wife at the same time.
"When do you think they will make a move?"
"Hmm?" Lin Mengya yawned and looked at her man with sleepy eyes. Only then did she realize what had happened.
Although she was physically strong, she had just given birth to the baby a few months ago.
In addition, she had been busy all night and was extremely tense. Therefore, when she could be lazy, she wanted to rest more.
"Ah, that, whatever."
Her attitude was a little too casual.
But Long Tianhao didn't feel anything. Instead, he pinched his wife's little face.
She seemed to have lost some weight, and there were not many soft pieces of flesh to pinch.
This was not the most important thing. He always felt that his wife didn't look good these days. The dark circles under her eyes were a little big.
He was a good husband who loved his wife very much.
However, his wife was quite a troublemaker.
As a man, he could only try to reduce the things that made her busy so that she could rest more.
"I'll keep an eye on them. You and the children should have a good rest at home."
Although he was reluctant, he still had to go.
But Lin Mengya subconsciously reached out and grabbed the hem of his clothes.
"Ha —" She yawned again and told him with her eyelids open, "Don't force anything. If they use any insidious means, remember to come back and ask for help!"
