822 Funeral Banquet (I)
September 14, cloudy.
There was a faint sound of rolling thunder in the sky, and dark clouds had already obscured the entire Jinrong City. Seeing that a heavy rainstorm was about to fall, the ordinary people of Jinrong City packed up their things and rushed home, but there were many BMW incense cars driving unhurriedly on the streets, heading to the Great Elder's Mansion in the east of the city.
The entrance of the Great Elder's Mansion is a completely different scene from the atmosphere of the sky. Because today was the funeral banquet of the Great Elder, almost all the elders with heads and faces in the Nine Peaks Sect came. But on such an important day as today, only some of the most important people were not present, and that is, of course, some people led by Sheng Dongxing. However, everyone knew about the relationship between Xia Qianfeng's brothers and Sheng Dongxing, so no one said much.
The feast must have begun at the end of the unitary hour, and although it was getting late, it was not yet evening, and the elders who had already arrived gathered in the eaves and garden to chat.
"It doesn't matter if the deputy sect leader didn't come, why didn't even Elder Dong come?" Some elders looked left and right, feeling strange, "How can a gathering like this be without the sound of Elder Dong's piano?" ”
"Elder Dong was only banned by Madame, and I'm afraid Elder Ten won't touch his head at this time." In addition, an elder analyzed it one by one, "You, today is the funeral banquet of the Great Elder, do you still want to be so happy that you don't get drunk and don't go home?" ”
When the elder heard this, he quickly waved his hand and said in a panic: "Don't dare! Can't! For middle-level elders like us, let's listen honestly to the above words. ”
"When! While! While! ”
Three loud bells rang to indicate that the feast was about to begin, and all the elders began to gather in the lobby in the center of the house. In the lobby, the highest place on the high platform is placed the spiritual seat of the great elder Xia Qianhua, and the seat of the tenth elder Xia Qianfeng is placed on the deputy seat below.
Each elder had been informed of his seat when he arrived at the house, and now he entered the lobby one after another, coming to his seat in an orderly manner. When all the elders were seated, a celebrant shouted, "Ten elders have arrived!" ”
Afterwards, I saw the tenth elder Xia Qianfeng wearing filial piety clothes, wearing a white cloth on his head, and walking into the lobby with a serious face, which made the already solemn atmosphere here even more solemn. Following behind Xia Qianfeng were several elders who were also dressed in linen and filial piety, these were Xia Qianfeng's personal guards, after Xia Qianhua's accident before, these people were almost inseparable from Xia Qianfeng.
Xia Qianfeng walked all the way to his seat, and then picked up the wine glass on the table and turned to look at everyone. He raised his glass and shouted, "Thank you for coming to the Humble House today to send my eldest brother on his last journey!" ”
"Ten Elders' Day condolences!" All the elders bowed at the same time.
Xia Qianfeng only said one sentence with polite words, and then drank all the wine in the cup, and then said, "Please!" ”
"Respect!" All the elders raised their glasses one after another, and they also drank all the wine in their cups.
Then, Xia Qianfeng handed the wine glass to the elder next to him and said, "Xia Mou invited you to come here today, not only hoping that you can see my eldest brother for the last time, but also liking that you can help me and avenge my eldest brother!" ”
"Avenge the Great Elder!" Immediately, the elders of Xia Qianfeng's family took the lead in chanting, causing a cry, but this call did not cover up the silence in the main hall.
Xia Qianfeng's cold gaze swept over these people in the banquet one by one, and then with majesty in his voice, he roared again: "Your silence today, but you are worthy of my eldest brother?!" ”
The silent elders continued to be silent, and only some of the eyes were focused on a few older elders. These elders are the highest-ranking elders of the current Council of Elders, because Xia Qianhua is a great elder in front of him after all, Sheng Dongxing can not come, but as members of the Council of Elders, these elders are definitely coming. And on such occasions, only these elders can speak.
Among them, an old man with white hair opened his mouth first, looked at Xia Qianfeng who was standing on the high platform, and said: "We can understand the grief in the hearts of the ten elders, but if you talk about revenge, now that the case has not been solved, we don't know how to show Xue for the great elder." ”
"The second elder is really funny." Xia Qianfeng snorted lightly, looking a little rude, "Who is the murderer, do you need to say it?" Isn't it Sheng Dongxing, who colluded with Mo Zhiyu?! ”
Xia Qianfeng's blatant blaming Sheng Dongxing in this way immediately caused all the elders present to exclaim, and then another elder immediately said: "Ten Elders, this is an exaggeration, now it is just that Mo Zhiyu has great doubts, and he has not yet made up his mind. And the collusion between the deputy sect leader and Mo Zhiyu, where does it start? ”
"The third elder is saying this now, is it to excuse Sheng Dongxing?!" Xia Qianfeng became even more arrogant, "When you saw my eldest brother in the past, you pretended to be one or two, saying that my eldest brother was the first to look at it. Now that my eldest brother has just passed away, you have shown such a face, and you are really worthy of my eldest brother's former kindness! ”
"Ten Elders, you're talking more and more excessively!" Another rough-faced Mine Elder slapped the table, "We just respect the Great Elder, and we will only come here today." And you didn't say anything about disrespecting the number of courtesies today, and you didn't invite the deputy sect leader, but now you are even more arrogant in your words, and you will talk about the kindness of the great elder and the crimes of the sect leader Sheng with your mouth closed. Do you know that everything you say and do and say today is a crime that will be stripped of your position and thrown to prison! ”
"The Fifth Elder has such a big breath!" Xia Qianfeng turned around and walked behind the table in his seat, and sat down calmly, "However, I didn't invite you here today to discuss with you!" Sheng Dongxing colluded with foreigners to kill my eldest brother, this is an ironclad fact, and it must be severely punished. So I'll give you one last chance, follow me or not! ”
"Xia Qianfeng, how old are you, saying such things here?" A bearded elder next to the Fifth Elder immediately became furious, "I'll take you now, see how arrogant you are?!" With that, the elder jumped out of his seat and threw himself on the high platform.
Xia Qianfeng's personal guards immediately became vigilant and blocked under the high platform. And Xia Qianfeng, who was on the high platform, just snorted coldly, with a look of disdain.
