Chapter 596: Who is the Heir?
At dusk, the setting sun dyed the big cave village with a layer of golden yellow. In front of the big hole, there were patches of white silk floating on the roof, and the place was in the grief of losing its elders.
For the inhabitants here, the elders are not only their kings, but also their spiritual pillars. Now the spiritual pillars had collapsed, as if their souls had been drained away.
They were particularly disturbed by the fact that the key to the lineage was now missing, and a new elder was still hanging in the balance. Suddenly a band of robbers appeared from the south and north, and the two bands of robbers gathered together, and the number of them had reached more than a hundred.
Even the most stupid people smell bad breath, a dark cloud is hanging over their heads, and their sea slang clan is suffering from an unprecedented crisis.
A dry stilt house with the smell of wine and meat wafting through the house.
"Mu Ying? Little Ash? ”
Xian Wen scattered his eyes and ears throughout the Great Cave Village, and although it was the most likely that Ash would take the key to the inheritance, he did not give up any other possibility.
Yesterday in particular, he made a bad impression on the elders because of his selfish side, so that the elders might choose someone else to succeed him.
Fortunately, he strengthened the surveillance of the nine cave masters, and it turned out that Mu Ying and Xiao Ash had come into contact in the forest outside. Obviously, the new elder is Mu Ying or Xiao Ash, not him, who has always been regarded as the next elder.
"Mu Ying got the key to inheritance, so why didn't she jump out? With the other cave masters' blind obedience to the key of inheritance, she would definitely be able to become the new elder naturally! Staff member Zhao Baihe held a paper fan and analyzed suspiciously.
Xian Wen was drinking wine and said very easily: "The simplest answer is that Xiao Ash is the heir, but you can't completely veto Mu Ying, after all, this woman may also want to take this opportunity to exclude dissidents!" ”
"Childe, what are we going to do now? Do you want to ...... Mu Ying" When Zhao Baihe asked, he held the fan and made a knife to wipe his neck.
"No, that's too obvious, and Mu Ying may not be the heir!" Xian Wen shook his head with the wine bowl, and said with another plan: "The key of inheritance can be either an elder certificate or a hot potato, you can just watch a good show." ”
The next morning, in the council hall, all nine cave masters arrived.
Xian Wen took Zhao Baihe's suggestion, put on the black clothes of the Sea Slang Clan, and was standing in the center of the council hall at this time, looking at the door without squinting, his face looked very serious.
When the other eight elders came in, they were all stunned when they saw him like this. However, he didn't say much, and despite the uncertainty of the current situation, this was most likely the future elder.
"You're all here, you're coming so fast!" Mu Ying walked in and said very boldly.
The eyes of the other cave masters immediately fell on Xian Wen, Mu Ying's residence was the closest to the council hall, and she had always arrived first. Looking at this battle now, it seems that it is aimed at Mu Ying.
Sure enough, Xian Wen suddenly ordered in a deep voice: "Come on, take her down!" ”
As soon as the words fell, the guards who were lying in ambush on both sides rushed out with knives in their hands, and immediately surrounded Mu Ying. Mu Ying was caught off guard, but he also drew a sharp blade to protect himself and said, "What are you going to do?" ”
Xian Wen pointed at her and asked: "You and Xiao Ash are plotting for the position of elder together, don't think you can deceive us!" ”
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Mu Ying scolded angrily.
Xian Wen snorted coldly, pointed to an old man standing next to him and said, "I have asked Fu Bo to carefully check, the elder did not die of illness, but was poisoned!" ”
This Fu Bo is the Langzhong of the Sea Slang Clan, who is responsible for the medical treatment of the clan, and has a very high prestige in the clan. Now that he was vulnerable, he was immediately convinced.
Yes?
When the other cave owners heard the news, they immediately looked at each other, and they could see each other's shock.
Although he knew that the old elder's time was running out, even if he survived for half a month, it would be a miracle, but if he was poisoned, then the matter would be a different matter.
Now that the elder has been murdered to death, it is not to discuss the issue of heirs, but to immediately find out the real culprit who murdered the elder, so as to tell the elder's spirit in heaven.
"Xian Wen, is it really the main thing in the wooden cave?"
"That's right! This kind of thing is no joke! ”
"I have suspected it for a long time, but I didn't expect this woman to be a femme fatale!"
"No wonder the key to the inheritance has never appeared, it turns out that she and Xiao Ash partnered to take it!"
……
The eyes of the eight cave masters fell on Mu Ying, some of them were inclined to Mu Ying's innocence, while others were indignant and blamed Mu Ying.
Mu Ying, who was facing the accusation, turned pale, and stared at Xian Wen with dead eyes: "You are so calculating! ”
"So far, haven't you confessed?" Xian Wen met her gaze and asked in a cold voice.
Mu Ying glared at me wickedly, and then said to the other eight cave masters, "Don't listen to his nonsense! Xiao Ash is the next elder, not this person, he is the murderer of the elder! ”
Hey?
The eight cave masters were stunned again.
Not only because Xiao Ash was the next elder, but Mu Ying actually accused Xian Wen, and it was Xian Wen who was the truth about killing the elder, and suddenly the whole thing seemed confusing.
"You say Ash is the next Elder? You say I killed my grandmother? How ridiculous is that? Xian Wen seemed to have heard a big joke, but he asked rhetorically again and again.
The brows of the other eight cave masters furrowed slightly, and they were inevitably psychologically biased towards Xian Wen's side. After all, Xiao Ash's age is too young, and the elders are afraid that the chances of choosing her as their successor are very small, and it is a bit ridiculous for Ruan Wen to kill his grandmother.
Xian Wen glanced at the other eight cave masters with satisfaction, and then pointed at Mu Yingfa: "Do you still want to bewitch the people here?" Obviously, you and Ash colluded, and the two of you conspired to poison my grandmother and steal the key to inheritance. With Ash as the elder, you become the true speaker of the Sea Slang Clan. ”
"You talk nonsense!" Mu Ying took a step back and argued through gritted teeth.
"Am I talking nonsense?" Xian Wen snorted coldly, and asked again: "Then I'll ask you!" Who is the person most likely to poison an elder? Who is the one with the best chance of stealing the keys of the lineage? ”
"Ash?"
In the face of these accusations, not to mention the eight cave masters, even Mu Ying himself was a little shaken.
At such a moment, she even wondered if Xiao Ash had done it, and then used it against her, intending to ascend to the throne of the elder. Others may not know, but she knows very well in her heart that Ash's wisdom is not like a child at all.
