The concubine is poisonous

Chapter 143 Newlyweds
Since the news that the chieftain was getting married was spread early in the morning, the whole country in southern Xinjiang was in a state of excitement. Almost every household in the country began to wear red and colorful colors. They were not just happy that their chieftain was getting married, but also I am glad that the two countries no longer have to fight.

In short, no matter what the reason is, the streets and alleys are full of prosperity. Gu Xinning is standing on the high city wall, looking at the bustling market and the crowds. Ye Junyan is standing behind Gu Xinning at this moment. Supported by two guards.

Looking at the people under the city like Gu Xining, he sighed and said to Gu Xining: "It seems that whether it is the people of Nanjiang or the subjects of Zhaoxuan Kingdom, they all yearn for a beautiful and stable life. I can only hate those in power. The people are living and dying, militarism is rampant, day in and day out."

Gu Xinning turned her head to look at Ye Junyan and said: "Everyone has desires, especially when they see that others have more than their own, and they want to snatch them all for themselves, in order to satisfy their desires." My own vanity is in the upper class, so don't tell me my sister really thinks of the common people."

Hearing Gu Xinning's words, Ye Junyan couldn't help but sighed in his heart. After bowing his head and being silent for a while, he said, "But no matter how the people yearn for it, Mo Luotang will never let go of this opportunity to let you drop by to get married for me."

Gu Xinning said: "It doesn't matter. In such a short period of time, he has no evidence to prove that what he said is true. The most he can do is force me to commit the crime."

"That's why you went to meet the high priest just now and invited him to the wedding. The purpose was to make Mo Luotang feel scruples and not dare to mess around in front of the high priest." Ye Junyan seemed to be asking Gu Xinning, but also seemed to be Said like asking and answering himself.

Gu Xinning nodded, indicating that Ye Junyan's guess was correct, then turned around, looked at the sky and said, "Perhaps when Mo Luotang jumps over the wall in a hurry, he will have no scruples, but if you make one preparation, you will be able to do it more or less The safety of you and me is no longer simply the life and death of two people, but is related to the life, death and stability of thousands of Li people in the world, we must be careful at every step."

Ye Junyan didn't speak any more, but raised his head slightly, and following Gu Xinning's gaze, he also looked at the magnificent sea of ​​clouds intertwined in the deep blue sky on the horizon.

In Mo Luotang's mansion, in the courtyard, there are 30 people gathered at this moment. Among the 30 people, there are men and women, some old and some young. He is an important figure in the Ying clan, and more than half of them are the direct family members of Ying Keqing. Among these people are Ying Keqing's mother, grandmother, grandfather, uncle, sister, and even nephew, and the rest are also in the Ying clan. A person who occupies a pivotal position in a tribe.

Combining these people together can almost control the entire Ying family, but now they are all invited to the mansion by Mo Luotang.Said that there was something important to discuss, in order to welcome these people, Mo Luotang specially prepared a sumptuous banquet, which was not enough in one room, so he set the banquet in the courtyard.

Originally, some old people didn't want to come out to participate in these mundane affairs, but when Mo Luotang sent someone to invite them, he deliberately came to ask them a secret about Ying Keqing's life and death. The old people cared about the safety of their children and grandchildren, so they reluctantly accepted the invitation When he came to Mo Luotang's mansion, he wanted to hear about Ying Keqing's life-and-death matters.

When Mo Luotang saw that the people who were supposed to come were almost here, he stood up and raised his glasses to everyone, saying, "It's too abrupt to invite you to the house today, I believe most of you haven't eaten yet, please get up your chopsticks first, after you've had enough wine and food , I will solve the mysteries in everyone’s hearts one by one.”

Before everyone could speak, an old man said: "Xiaotang, don't be a fool, what happened to my granddaughter? He is getting married tomorrow, why did you send someone to say that my granddaughter has What is a matter of life and death? If you don't speak clearly first, how can the old man eat?"

The old man who spoke was named Ying Lian, who was the grandfather of Ying Keqing. After discussions among the various ethnic groups, Ying Keqing, who has the highest qualifications, the best ability and connections, will succeed him as the chief.

The rules in southern Xinjiang do not distinguish between men and women, and everyone can have the opportunity to become the chief. However, if the successor to the chief is a woman, then her first child in the future must have the mother's surname. One of the other descendants is selected as the surname of Ying.

Mo Luotang looked at Ying Lian with a smile and said: "The chief is concerned about his granddaughter's feelings. You understand, but I don't intend to show off, but you know that if you don't feed everyone now, you may think about it later." I can't eat anymore, tomorrow is the wedding day, and you all can't go to the wedding one by one hungry and weak."

At this time, a middle-aged man next to him also became impatient, and said loudly without politeness: "The surname is Mo, don't play tricks here, the elder respects you, so I talk nicely to you, don't be serious." Take yourself seriously and speak up when you have something to say.”

Everyone turned their attention to Mo Luotang, their eyes full of doubts. Mo Luotang knew that everyone would not let it go when they heard the answer, so he put down his glass, stood up and said, "Okay! Then I will say now, I hope that you will be mentally prepared in advance, so as not to be unable to bear any mistakes after listening to it."

The more Mo Luotang said that, the more people connected with Ying Keqing's blood, the more anxious he became, and he looked at Mo Luotang nervously.

Mo Luotang turned around, turned his back to the crowd, and said with a long sigh: "Actually, the big leader has already... already been killed."

"What? Who is the current chief?"

"My surname is Mo, don't talk nonsense, I saw the big boss the day before yesterday, I think it's not you who is going to marry the big boss, you kid is jealous and deliberately slandered the big boss."

"It's not impossible. I went to see Qing'er as soon as he returned to Southern Xinjiang. He is my granddaughter. There is nothing wrong with him. Even if he is old and blind, it is impossible for me. I don't even know my own granddaughter!"

After hearing Mo Luotang's words, almost everyone's reaction was astonishment and disbelief, which was expected by Mo Luotang, so Mo Luotang calmed everyone down, and said slowly to everyone He told everyone how he was injured by Gu Xinning, which gave Gu Xinning an opportunity to attack Ying Keqing.

After listening to Mo Luotang's words, everyone still expressed disbelief, and they all said that they wanted Mo Luotang to produce evidence. Mo Luotang told everyone that he had no evidence for the time being, but he would force Gu Xinning to show up at tomorrow's wedding.

Ying Lian asked: "Then what do you need us to do? We will not do anything harmful to the chief until it is confirmed that what you said is true."

Mo Luotang smiled and said: "Don't worry, chief, Xiaotang doesn't need you to do anything, just need you to be a witness, after confirming that the person is not a big leader, you can stand by Xiaotang's side and punish the murderer together." The murderer of the great chief."

Ying Lian stood up angrily and said: "Of course, if what you said is true, I will be the first one who will not let the person who killed my grandson go, but in the end, if you find out that what you said is false, I will definitely kill you." Your Mo family will give this old man an explanation!"

Mo Luotang nodded with a smile and said, "No problem, do you have any comments?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, looked at each other, and in the end they all expressed their opinion, just like the head of the residence, if there is a real thing, the murderer will not be let go, but if there is nothing, Mo will be punished.

Mo Luotang nodded in satisfaction and said, "Now that things have been clarified, you can sit down and eat."

At this time, Ying Lian stood up and said: "Eat slowly, the old man can't eat any more, so I'm going home first, old lady, let's go." While talking, he helped his wife by his side, and was about to leave the table and leave.

Seeing that Ying Lian got up and left, you were too embarrassed to stay for dinner, so you all got up and said goodbye. After a while, only Mo Luotang and some servants from the mansion were left in the courtyard of Nuo Da, surrounded by a few tables , almost no chopsticks have been touched by all kinds of dishes on it.

After waiting for everyone to leave, Mo Xiaotang looked at the dishes on the table, sighed leisurely and said, "Oh, I have already said that I let you eat first. After you know the truth, no one will be able to eat it. Why don't you eat it?" Listen, alas, if you really don’t listen to good words, you will suffer first! Come, come, come over and dine with me, the king. Speaking of which, there are not many opportunities for us, master and servant, to eat together.”

Mo Luotang stretched out his hand to greet the servants standing around and asked them to come and have dinner with him. It can be seen how happy Mo Luotang was at this time, but the servants around looked at me, I looked at you, their eyes It was full of inexplicable color, I didn't know whether to pass or not, I wanted to find a unified answer from the other party's eyes.

Seeing that a few people were not moving, Mo Luotang looked around and said, "Don't be afraid, come here. I am happy today, sir, and have fun with everyone. Anyway, so much food is a waste if you don't eat it. Come here!"

Hearing what the master said, a few bold ones, after looking at each other, walked cautiously to the left, and kept scanning Mo Luotang's face with wandering eyes as they walked, as if He was preparing to knelt down and begged for mercy in case Mo Luotang's face changed suddenly.

Fortunately, Mo Luotang was really happy this time, and didn't suddenly change his face. Seeing that a few bold ones had already walked over and sat down, the rest also walked to the left one after another.

At this time, Mo Luotang seemed to have thought of something, and a servant who was about to sit down beside him said, "By the way, you go and invite Prime Minister Ran over for dinner, Mr. Prime Minister hasn't eaten yet, and believe me, The prime minister must really want to know the attitude and thoughts of the Ying clan after they know what they really want."

The servant who was about to sit down, heard Mo Luotang's words, quickly stepped aside, said "Yes." Then he ran to the backyard and invited Ran Hai to have dinner together.
