Chapter 337 Falling into a Trap
"What about you, third child?" Bai He asked another person.

The third elder tapped his fingers on the table, as if thinking about this question.Finally, he picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said. "According to my investigation, most of the people who come into contact with our clan are ordinary businessmen, a few of them are soul masters, and they also have individual sect strength. I have heard from them, and they are indeed aimed at our Minzhi clan, but they are not approaching purposefully."

"The Minzhi clan is well-known. For so many years, they are afraid to avoid it. How come someone dares to come to us now? You said they didn't have a purpose, so why did they suddenly contact us in a short period of time?" At this time, the Great Elder couldn't help but ask aloud.

"Then what do you mean, boss?" Lao Liu asked back.

Like the third elder, he was already under Lu Leng's control, and what he said at the moment was just a positive and a negative, and it was just a better cover for the other party, a bit like singing a double reed.

The Great Elder glanced at Lao Liu, and said with a disgusted expression, "Lao Liu, you should eat less. Look at how much fat you have gained in the past half a month?"

"I'm blessed, of course I'm gaining weight." Lao Liu snorted disdainfully.

The Great Elder shook his head in disdain, and then looked at Bai He and said, "There is no good thing that comes for nothing in the world, let alone such a concentrated good thing. Our Minzhi Clan has been poor for so many years, and now something that can change our destiny suddenly appears. In my opinion, this is probably a conspiracy against us by others!"

As soon as these words came out, Bai He's eyes lit up.

But the sixth child still didn't believe in evil, and said, "Conspiracy? How big is the conspiracy? Dare to target our Minzhi clan? Our four single-attribute families are united as one. Besides the upper three sects, which other forces on this continent have such great ability to target our Minzhi clan?"

"Don't be ashamed of your big words, don't forget, besides the Shang Sanzong, there is also the Wuhun Palace!" The Great Elder retorted.

"Wuhundian? Wuhundian really wants to target us, and still use this method? Just come with a team and wipe out our entire family!" The sixth child said disdainfully.

"Then what do you mean, this pie just fell from the sky? Have you ever gone to see those clansmen, who look like they are drunk and dreaming of death every day, and if they don't leave home, the fields in the clan are also abandoned. How can they still look like they used to be diligent and hard-working?"

"Hard work can be eaten? Now that we are finally able to live well, Great Elder, is it too unreasonable for you to say such hurtful words?"

"Lao Liu's words are correct. Although I agree with the Great Elder's statement, our size is here. Even if this is a hole, we can fill it." At this time, the third elder also spoke out to help Lao Liu.

Just now he was the only one talking to the sixth child, so naturally one made a bad face and the other a red face.

But now that they already have a common enemy, there is no need for this.

When the Sixth Elder said this, Bai He, who was sitting at the highest position, couldn't help but nodded.

What the First Elder said made sense, but the Third Elder also proceeded from a practical position.

Right now, it seems that only the Min family is the only one, but everyone knows that if anyone dares to trouble the Min family, then the other three single-attribute families will definitely not stand idly by.

If you offend one of them, you offend four.

The combined size of the four families is definitely not inferior to any of the next four families.

If you want to move it, you have to weigh it.

Therefore, when the Sixth Elder finished speaking, not only Bai He slightly agreed, but even the First Elder looked thoughtful.Several other elders who did not speak also nodded one after another, agreeing with the third elder's statement.

Seeing the situation, the Sixth Elder knew that the balance had begun to tilt towards them, and immediately added, "Everyone, don't worry, our family has been down for so long, if someone wanted to do something to us, he would have done it long ago, so why wait until now!"

"Those who are barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes, they can enjoy the blessings now, and it doesn't matter if they are poor again."

"Yeah, what Lao Liu said is right."

"I think it's fine too."

Several other elders also expressed their views.

Speaking of this, it has basically been settled.

But Bai He's expression was still unrestrained, "There is no problem with what you said, but this incident is still too weird. It's okay for the clansmen to meet their nobles, have someone to guide them, and are willing to lead them. But the problem is that many things happen too unexpectedly. It's as big as winning the lottery, as small as buying a bottle of soy sauce and winning a house. Don't you think it's really too fake? I always feel that there are a pair of invisible hands pushing behind it."

"Patriarch, you are really looking at the great elder. It's too worrying. It's not just our clan who wins the lottery. Others also win. We have so many clansmen. If we're lucky, it's normal for a few of us to win." The sixth elder said.

Listening to the sixth explanation, Baihe's doubts became less, but he still couldn't be happy.

Seeing this, the Great Elder pondered for a while, and said, "I think this matter will wait and see how it turns out. At the same time, I will send my disciples to investigate carefully and follow the vine to see if I can find the hands behind my back."

"This is a good way. If we find something, we can respond in time. If nothing is found, then we have to seize this opportunity." As soon as the words of the Great Elder came out, other people immediately agreed.

"Yes, we must seize this opportunity. It is a shame that we accepted gifts from the other three clans at this year's gathering of the four major clans. Next year, we must make a splash!" The Sixth Elder said taking advantage of the momentum. He spoke very cleverly. He not only grasped the key points, but subconsciously conveyed his own meaning to others.And it directly avoided the argument of the hands behind it, which can be said to be very good at Tai Chi.

"Okay, then the matter is settled like this, and the matter of the investigation will be left to you, the elder." Now that everyone has expressed their views, Bai He directly gave orders.

"Yes, Patriarch." The Great Elder replied.

……

Time progressed steadily, and soon, another half a month passed.

Lu Leng's plan was very successful, the evil mind should be controlled, and the unstable mind is the temptation of money.In just one month, the Minzhi Clan has taken on a new look. Not only have they moved away from the old and poor, but the young men have also started their second spring in life. There is a tendency to strengthen the Minzhi Clan.

But with the changes in the Min family, Bai He became more and more worried. He always felt that he was being controlled by a pair of invisible hands.

But he just couldn't help it.

During the period, the Great Elder also sent people to investigate, but with Lu Leng's method, of course, no useful information could be obtained.

But the more this happened, the more worried Bai He became.

Because often when there are no problems around, big problems are often about to happen.

……

Lu Leng stood in his room, listening to Su Zhiyan's report.

Su Zhiyan said, "Your Highness, in this month, we have spent a total of 50 gold soul coins. Most of them are allocated for business, a small part is used for the management of imperial officials, and some scattered ones are used in various places in life."

"What's the situation with the Minzhi Clan?" Lu Leng asked.

"The total number of Minzhi clan is 180, 150 or 120 of them have been baptized with money to varying degrees, and [-] of them have entered the state and cannot extricate themselves. Only a few dozen people remain sober and insist on themselves." Su Zhiyan replied.

"Well, it's time to close the net, the threat that should be threatened, the one that should be killed."

"Yes."

The next day, a group of people suddenly gathered at the gate of the brand new mansion of the Minzhi Clan.

These people were all ordinary people, but they looked richer in their attire. They all held bills in their hands and slammed on the door of the Minzhi Clan, yelling about losing money.

In the hall of the Minzhi Clan, many elders also gathered together at this moment, all of them looked embarrassed and depressed.

"Patriarch, it's not good, Bai Sheng injured the son of the city lord in the fairy building, and he will be arrested and questioned!"

"Patriarch, our convoy was robbed on the road, and the loss was heavy!"

"Patriarch, our restaurant has been complained about using poor quality food. Many people vomited and had diarrhea after eating it. Now we are surrounded by people and demand compensation!"

"Patriarch, the largest chamber of commerce we invested in turned out to be a liar, and now he has run away and can't be found!"

"Patriarch, Elder Baici was killed by members of the Yanbao Sect outside."

"..."

All kinds of sad news kept coming to Bai He's ears, Bai He's face was constantly changing from green to red, the knuckles of his hands turned white, his body trembled involuntarily, and the tea on the table next to him spilled out.

"Patriarch, what should we do?" The Sixth Elder asked bitterly. At this moment, he was no longer as proud as he was before, and he was completely lost, as if he had lost his soul.

"What should I do? What do you tell me to do? Overnight, countless problems have arisen, and you still say that this is not being plotted by others! I have already said that this is a conspiracy. I want you to pay more attention to it. You don't believe in evil. Are you okay now?" Bai He roared angrily.
"Patriarch, the current situation is obviously that we have been plotted against." At this time, the Great Elder also said.

"Nonsense, of course I know." Bai He said.

The Great Elder frowned, a little embarrassed, "What I mean is, let's wait and see what happens. Since the person who plotted against us chose to spend a lot of money and time to plot against us, it means that he must have a plan, not simply to destroy our Minzu Clan."

"Yes, Patriarch, actually we don't need to worry too much. The strength of our clan is here. It's not that simple for them to destroy us!" The sixth elder said excitedly when he heard it.

His expression looked like he was at the bottom of the boat.

But the patriarch Bai He immediately slapped the table angrily, "You are a fucking idiot!"

With the sudden scolding, the Sixth Elder was suddenly a little confused.

Deep helplessness flashed in Bai He's eyes, "Everyone is as stupid as you, and the family is already finished. You won't think about it, if the enemy wants to destroy us, why should you serve you with delicious food and drink. The Great Elder has already made it so clear, and you won't copy your homework?"

"I..." The Sixth Elder was scolded all the time, and suddenly felt a little sluggish.

He couldn't figure out where he was wrong, but he was obviously right.

"Patriarch, it doesn't matter. I said before that barefoot people are not afraid of wearing shoes. Now that we have worn the shoes, we can just return them." The sixth elder seemed to be an optimist by nature. He was scolded by Bai He, but he still didn't care.

There was nothing wrong with what he said, but Bai He was too lazy to look at him, and immediately ordered to the subordinates, "Tell all the disciples to return to the clan and wait and see what happens!"

"Yes."

……

Outside the Minzhi Clan's mansion, Lu Leng calmly watched the besieged and impenetrable mansion.

"How's the situation?" Lu Leng asked.

Su Zhiyan replied, "Those diehards have been eliminated, and most of the remaining people have been controlled. Now the entire Minzhi Clan is in our hands."

"How is Baihe?"

"They already know it's a conspiracy, and now they are waiting to see what happens."

"Wait and see what happens?" Lu Leng sneered, "Then let them wait and see for a while, and continue to increase their efforts."

"Yes."

As Lu Leng's order was passed on, more and more people began to gather towards the Minzhi Clan.These people include not only ordinary people, but also people from the imperial government, and some sect forces are mixed among them.

In addition, there are some people who don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement, and they also spontaneously join in.In the name of justice, he incited the masses, smashed down the gates of houses, and vented his dissatisfaction.

Soon, the Minzhi Clan had to send people to solve the problem.

And their wait-and-see policy has no effect at all.

"Patriarch, it's already dark, but these people have no intention of retreating at all. Moreover, Ximen has been attacked by some soul masters, and the government has also sent people to put pressure on it. If the door is not opened again, there may be a real riot." In the lobby, the Sixth Elder said anxiously.

Bai He had a gloomy face, and he clenched his fists tightly, wishing to beat the Sixth Elder, who disturbed the morale of the army, to death.

"Hasn't the person behind him appeared yet?" Bai He turned to look at the Great Elder.

The Great Elder shook his head, with a pessimistic expression, "There is no movement, and now everyone is putting pressure on us. Those disciples in the clan who can come back will not be able to come back, and those who cannot come back will not receive news."

"What a ruthless guy, I really don't want to scatter eagles if I don't see a rabbit." Bai He said.

"No need to wait, he must be watching us not far away now, and he will definitely not come out if we don't show up." After speaking, Bai He got up and walked out of the lobby.

Seeing this, the great elder shook his head helplessly and followed.

Soon, the appearance of Bai He immediately calmed down the chaotic scene.

"Patriarch Bai, after waiting for you for so long, you are finally willing to come out." A person in the crowd shouted loudly.
