Chapter 467 Negotiation
Chapter 467 Negotiation
Tian Lin couldn't be sure whether Mei Xiangu was harmed by Wang Yanyu or whether Su Shaoqing was lying about Bao Jian.
Therefore, Tian Lin was not sure whether Wang Yanyu was an enemy or a friend.
Instead of guessing, it’s better to let her explain it herself.
At this time, everyone looked at Wang Yanyu, and she said, "I do know the Su family tomb, but the secret of the Su family tomb was told to me by Su Shaoqing."
As soon as these words were spoken, the elders of the Su family were furious.
"Isn't Su Shaoqing dead? When did he tell you the secret of the Su family tomb?"
Wang Yanyu said, "Just before the locusts, he was desperate, so he took Bao Jian to the clan tomb to steal things and sell them, but I caught him red-handed."
"Nonsense, the clan tomb is the Su family's forbidden area. Since Su Shaoqing is the young patriarch of the Su family, how could he do such a thing as betraying his teacher and ancestors?"
Someone questioned Wang Yanyu: "I think you are lying!"
Some people were more concerned about Su Shaoqing's whereabouts, so they asked Wang Yanyu directly: "Where is Su Shaoqing now?"
Wang Yanyu did not hide anything and said frankly: "I locked him up in the Su family tomb, and he is dead now."
"You killed your husband and the young patriarch of my Su family?"
Wang Yanyu's aura was even stronger than that of the Su family elder who questioned her. She looked at the elder and said:
"Su Shaoqing broke off the engagement halfway through, abandoning his wife and mother. He is unworthy of being a husband and a son. How can she be worthy of being my husband, Wang Yanyu?
Since he is the heir of the Su family, he did not think about bringing the clan members back to the prestige of the Su family, but only cared about his own life of debauchery. In the end, he only took a maid out to party every night, and did not care about the difficulties of the clan - is such a person worthy of the position of the young patriarch of the Su family? "
No one could defend Su Shaoqing, and it seemed that there was no need to defend Su Shaoqing.
An elder of the clan immediately said bluntly: "Even if he has done a thousand wrongs, he should be punished by the whole clan, not by you alone. Wang Yanyu, tell us where the Su family tomb is. From now on, you can rest assured and recuperate in the deep house."
Wang Yanyu is not sick, so why would she get sick?
In the final analysis, these elders wanted to take advantage of the situation to seize power.
But Wang Yanyu was not afraid. She turned and looked at Monk Kongwu: "Master, do you think I look sick?"
Kong Wu shook his head and said with shame, "My cultivation is so low that I couldn't see that Donor Wang was ill. These days, I always bothered Donor Wang with some things in and outside the city. I am really ashamed."
Wang Yanyu smiled and said, "Master, you are right. Of course I am not sick. These elders of the Su family want to seize my power, so they forced me to be sick."
Monk Kongwu looked puzzled and asked, "Since Donor Wang is not sick, how can they force you to be sick?"
The elder of the Su family didn't want Kong Wu to interfere, so he simply said, "Master Kong Wufa, you are a monk, so you should just meditate and don't interfere in other people's family affairs."
Kong Wu nodded, obviously thinking that what the elder said made sense.
But Wang Yanyu said, "Master Kongwufa, the truth cannot be learned by sitting in meditation! If you want to become a monk and become a Buddha, you must also be a human being in the world. If you don't help me make the decision today, how can you make the decision for the suffering people in the world in the future?"
Her words were like a revelation to Monk Kongwu, and he instantly felt as if he had attained enlightenment.
But this feeling didn't last long. The words of the elder of the Su family poured down on him like a bucket of cold water: "Master Kong Wufa, you are still young and don't know how unpredictable people are. Aren't you afraid that you will make a mistake and help the treacherous, and be blamed by the Buddha in the future?"
Kong Wu was about to cry, and turned to Tian Lin: "Master Tian, you are always very smart, smarter than me. Master Tian, please teach me, who should I help?"
Tian Lin didn't know how Monk Kongwu saw that he was so smart, but he didn't reject Monk Kongwu. Instead, he looked at Wang Yanyu and the elders of the Su family. It must be said that Wang Yanyu did one thing very well.
That is to make friends with Monk Kongwu as early as possible and leave an excellent impression on him.
And if she could get the support of Monk Kongwu, not to mention the Su family in Beiye County, even Elder Zhang might not be able to do anything to her.
Looking at Tian Lin, Wang Yanyu acted decisively.
She raised her right hand and said decisively: "As a witness, Wang Yanyu has no intention of harming Senior Brother Tian and Senior Sister Mei. She never did before and will never do so in the future. Senior Brother Tian, do you believe me?"
Tian Lin did not say anything. The elder of the Su family was afraid that Tian Lin believed Wang Yanyu's lies, so he sneered and said, "You didn't even take out the deed paper. Even if you swear in vain, even the old man Hou Tu can't hear it."
Wang Yanyu frowned, she didn't have the deed paper in her hand. After all, Hou Tu's deed paper was not something that could be found everywhere, and few people would sell it.
"Well, you have nothing to say?"
When the elder of the Su family finished speaking, Tian Lin had already made a decision.
Tian Lin looked at Monk Kong Wu and said, "The most urgent thing now is to go to the Su family's tomb and rescue Miss Mei. Other things are not worth mentioning in front of human life."
Monk Kongwu woke up as if from a dream and nodded repeatedly.
Tian Lin looked at Wang Yanyu: "Is Mei Xiangu in the Su family tomb? Is she dead or alive now?"
If Fairy Mei has already died in the tomb, then no matter how eloquent Wang Yanyu is, Tian Lin will not let her go.
Similarly, if Wang Yanyu can ensure that Mei Xiangu survives, then everything will be easy.
Fortunately, Wang Yanyu said: "Miss Mei is fine. I never thought of harming her."
This seemed to confirm the fact that it was she who used a trick to abduct Mei Xiangu to the Su family tomb.
Tian Lin didn't care why she did this, nor did he care who she was trying to harm.
Just as he said before, the most urgent task is to rescue Mei Xiangu first.
"Everyone, Elder Zhang is still in the mountains looking for the Su family's tomb! Do you plan to find the tomb first and then discuss Miss Wang's rights and wrongs? Or do you plan to discuss Miss Wang's rights and wrongs first and leave the tomb to Elder Zhang?"
Why should we choose? Naturally, no one wants to give away the treasure of the clan.
"The Su family tomb is where our ancestors were buried. How can we allow outsiders to disturb it? Wang Yanyu, take us to the mountains to find the family tomb now."
Wang Yanyu also looked at Monk Kongwu at this time: "We need a mage to accompany us on this trip - I'm afraid that the treasure will attract people's attention, and then Elder Zhang will kill us to silence us."
Elder Zhang is an elder of the Wendao Sect, and Tian Lin is a disciple of the Wendao Sect.
Logically, Tian Lin should be on the same side as Elder Zhang.
But Tian Lin's previous performances all showed the spirit of "killing relatives for the sake of justice".
Everyone really couldn't figure out where Tian Lin got the courage to betray the sect elders. Wasn't he afraid of being retaliated by Elder Zhang afterwards?
When everyone was wondering whether Tian Lin was a traitor or a loyal person, only Master Kong Wufa had no doubts about Tian Lin's character.
