Chapter 404: Clan Elders

After Wei Sizhe left, Wei Zirui pulled out the frost on the ground and looked at it for a moment.

The Frost Sword is of high quality and has a unique shape. It looks like it was made by a famous master at first glance. Its material is also unusual. When holding the hilt, there will be a slight coolness in the palm of the hand. If he is a master in the foundation building stage, he only needs to Injecting a little spiritual power, you can hear the faint sound of swords made by Hanshuang.

No matter what, this is definitely a rare and good sword. Even Wei Zirui, who has seen many famous swords, can't help but fall in love with it.

Seeing that his father hadn't come back yet, Wei Zirui took a few steps forward and asked in a low voice: "Um, where did you get this sword? It looks good?"

"Picked it up."

Seeing the way he couldn't put it down, Chu Yang knew that he wanted this sword very much, so he deliberately teased Wei Zirui.

"Ah, I can pick this up too. Where did you pick it up? Are there any others?"

After being shocked by Chu Yang, Wei Zirui subconsciously admired his cultivation and felt that what a master like him said must be true, so his heart was full of fire and he wanted to ask for a place to try his luck.

"I picked it up in the Ruoye River while taking a boat. I forgot where it was. Anyway, there are many willow trees nearby."

Chu Yang made nonsense.

"Xiaoxiaowan? That's right if that's where it is. According to my second uncle, the ancestors of the Wei family for more than a thousand years are buried there. Maybe the treasures buried with them were washed out by the flood, and then they were seen again. Maybe I can also Can you find one?"

Wei Zirui's eyes were dull, thinking of going there to try his luck when he had time to see if he could find anything else.

At this time, the chattering crowd suddenly became silent and took the initiative to move out of the way.

Chu Yang looked up and saw that it was a skinny old man hobbling over on a cane.

With the light of the flashlight, Chu Yang could clearly see the old man's appearance. His beard and hair were all white, his figure was slightly stooped, and his wrinkled face made him look over a hundred years old.

Wei Zirui, who was deep in thought, did not notice the change in the scene. He stood straight in front of everyone, blocking the old man's way.

Tuk-tuk-tuk!

The old man stood behind Wei Zirui. Seeing that he had no intention of giving way, he couldn't help but lift his crutch and pause on the ground a few times.

Wei Zirui was awakened and looked back hurriedly.

"Sixth Master, why are you here? What should I do if I fell down this late at night?"

Wei Zirui's expression changed instantly, and a bright smile appeared on his face, looking extremely flattering.

"Step aside."

Unexpectedly, the Sixth Master didn't appreciate it. He glanced at him with his sunken eyes and answered in a deep and old voice.

"okay."

Although Wei Zirui was one of the younger generation members with the highest status in the clan, he did not dare to act presumptuously in front of the Sixth Master. He was expelled mercilessly, and he did not dare to show any dissatisfaction, so he got out of the way obediently. the way.

After clearing the roadblock, the Sixth Master took a few steps forward with a cane, looked at Chu Yang up and down for a moment, and asked in a deep voice: "Are you the young junior who just came to the village yesterday?"

Chu Yang guessed that he might be a person with a higher status in the Wei family, and he was not as rude as usual, so he bowed his hand to the old man and said, "Old man, it is indeed me."

"Hmph, what kind of bastard thing did Wei Sizhe do? He actually led a wolf into the house and allowed his son to come in and out of the ancestral temple. I think he forgot that his surname is Wei!"

After the Sixth Master confirmed Chu Yang's identity, he raised his crutch and slammed it on the ground, looking very angry.

"Sixth uncle, this is wrong."

At this time, Wei Sizhe's voice came from behind Chu Yang. After he stepped out of the courtyard gate, he raised his hands to the old man in a neither humble nor condescending manner: "This matter is still unclear. There are many strange things in it. What you see may not be true. More investigation is needed before we can draw a conclusion.”

"hehe."

The sixth uncle sneered, tapped Chu Yang with his crutch, and said: "Hearing is false, seeing is believing. Look at this person. As an invited guest, he visited Zhengqi Hall at two o'clock in the morning, and he was still wearing the same clothes. Ye Xingyi, if he doesn’t have any evil intentions, why would he go to talk to your father at night?”

"this……"

Wei Sizhe was speechless for a moment to retort. Although he didn't think Chu Yang had any motive to murder his father, he happened to appear at the scene wearing night clothes when the riot occurred. This was like telling others that he was a bad person.

When Uncle Liu saw that he didn't answer, he said displeasedly: "Where did this kid come from? He broke into important places like Zhengqi Hall at night. What are you waiting for if you don't capture him?"

"Yes, Young Patriarch, he doesn't look like a good person. It's better to arrest him and interrogate him carefully as soon as possible. If he is allowed to come and go freely, I'm afraid everyone in the village will be in danger!"

At this time, a fifteen or sixteen year old boy behind the old man also echoed his words and looked at Chu Yang with a subtle look.

With this kid taking the lead, the surrounding villagers also started talking excitedly, and suggested that Wei Sizhe tie Chu Yang up before talking, to prevent him from hurting anyone in the chaos.

Looking at Chu Yang, Wei Sizhe looked at his helpless eyes and said to the old man, "Sixth Uncle, why don't you let me talk to him first? I will inform everyone of any progress in time."

The old man didn't expect that Wei Sizhe would reject his suggestion despite the excitement of the crowd. He couldn't help but stamp the floor with his crutch a few times and said angrily:

"Wei Sizhe, what on earth are you doing? Since your father went into seclusion, you have been acting more and more strangely. Not only have you refused to disclose information about your father, you have even banned visits by clan elders. Now you have even allowed an outsider to act recklessly in the ancestral hall. , If you don’t take the initiative to explain all the things that have happened in the past two months, are the clan elders all blind? "

"Sixth uncle, please calm down. There is a reason for what I did. I will take the initiative to ask the clan elders to discuss it in the future. The time has not come yet, so please give me some more time."

Wei Sizhe was angrily scolded in public, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. You can imagine how stressful he is now.

The old man looked at Wei Sizhe seriously and asked, "Well, I don't care about what happened before. I just want to ask you when Yongyuan will be released from detention. How is he doing now?"

The matter of Wei Yongyuan's seclusion can be said to be a major event for the Wei family. Not only the clan elders, but also all the Wei family villagers were very concerned. After hearing the old man's inquiry, they all looked at Wei Sizhe with their ears pricked up.

Wei Sizhe glanced at Chu Yang and said in a deep voice: "Father is still in seclusion. News may come out in the next two days. I would like to ask the clan elders and everyone to be calm. I will report the situation as soon as possible. "

"Hmph, the old man will just wait for two more days. If Yongyuan can't show up to see you then, then we have to go and visit before we can rest assured!"

The old man warned, looked at Chu Yang seriously for a few more times, and then said to everyone: "Since the young patriarch has vouched for this person, let's go back first. With old men like us here, no one can turn over here." Make waves!”

"Gone, gone."

After hearing the words from the clan elders, everyone went back. Although the onlookers were very hostile to Chu Yang, they all obeyed and dispersed, leaving only a dozen clan members with foundation building skills to guard the scene.
