Early the next morning, the news of the assassination of Qian Yulong, the eldest son of the Qian family, spread throughout the entire Qian family hall.

This time, ten Qian family elders gathered together.

The atmosphere in the ancestral hall is very solemn, according to the plan of these Qian family elders, this matter will end with Qian Yulou's death, and then it should be Qian Yulong who will take over the position of the head of the Qian family and lead the Qian family, which has eliminated internal and external troubles, to get back on the right track.

But no one thought that the most critical Qian Yulong was also dead.

What's even more unexpected is that the murderer turned out to be Qian Yulong's friend for many years, which can't help but make several Qian family elders begin to look at the people around them, for fear that they will also follow in Qian Yulong's footsteps.

After being silent for a long time, the Great Elder sitting at the top stopped pulling the beads in his hand and asked, "Has the murderer been caught?"

The elder with a cane stood up and said, "Someone has been sent to investigate." ”

The Great Elder nodded, raised his hand and motioned for the elder to sit down, and then said: "Don't worry about tracking down the murderer, the key is that Yibai died, and the jade dragon also suffered misfortune, but the life has to go on, it is said that the snake cannot be without a head, and the dragons cannot be without a leader, our Qian family must elect a person in charge of the house, stabilize the situation, and also stabilize the hearts of the people, this is the key and the big thing." ”

As soon as the Great Elder said this, the atmosphere in the ancestral hall became more and more gloomy.

The key is that the Qian family's large sect has always been thin, the last generation only had Qian Yibai and Qian Jin'er, this generation, Qian Jin'er has never married, naturally has no heirs, although Qian Yibai has a lot of wives and concubines, in the end there is only one son and one daughter, but just yesterday, Qian Yulou and Qian Yulong died one after another, and only Qian Jin'er was left.

An elder hesitated and said, "It's better to ...... by Jin'er."

Before the elder finished speaking, an elder interrupted: "Jin'er is from the patriarchal family, if she is a man, then there is nothing to say, brother and brother, it is most appropriate for her to be the head of the family, then we don't need to discuss this matter today, the key is that Jin'er is a woman, and our Qian family has never had a precedent for a female head of the family." ”

The previous elder retorted: "In this world, someone must do it before there is a precedent, if the ancestors and ancestors stick to the rules, because there is no precedent to do everything, then we are afraid that we are still in the streets and alleys, where is today's entry into the house? ”

The latter sneered: "The ancestors and ancestors did not leave this rule, but they also did not leave such rules as not disobeying human ethics and not killing innocents indiscriminately. Is it because the ancestors did not leave this rule that they can act arbitrarily?"

"I didn't say that. ”

"What do you say, and what do you mean?"

"Then, according to your intentions, do you want someone from the side sect to sit on the throne of the head of the family, is it better for the descendants of your branch to do it?"

"Don't ramble, when did I say that?"

At this moment, the Great Elder said softly, "Okay. ”

The two elders stopped at the same time.

Then I heard the Great Elder say, "The two elders have a point, and it is precisely because of this that we have come to discuss this matter. Deliberation is deliberation, don't be angry, let alone hurt the harmony of your family. ”

The two elders were at the same time, and their deep voices should have been.

The Great Elder looked at Qian Jin'er, who had not spoken, and asked gently, "Jin'er, what do you mean?"

Qian Jin'er hesitated slightly, got up and said: "Jin'er, how can he be a woman, how can she be worthy of the head of the family." ”

"Don't talk full, but don't talk about death either. The Great Elder smiled lightly: "Looking through the annals of history, there are Empress Zhao in power, Empress Mingkong, the Second Holy Dynasty, and the Empress Dowager Xie, who is now in charge of the government, is also a woman, so the woman's body is not a problem." ”

At this moment, the entire ancestral hall can be heard.

Qian Jin'er lowered her head, so that people couldn't see the expression on her face clearly.

However, Qian Jin'er still subconsciously pinched the corners of her clothes, showing her uncalm heart now.

Sure enough, Qian Yulou expected it, the elder of the Qian family did not mind letting a woman be the head of the family, the key is to maintain the status of the big sect of the long house, now that Qian Yulong's wife is pregnant, let Qian Jin'er temporarily take the position of the head of the family, and wait until Qian Yulong's son grows up, and then hand over the position of the head of the family, so that the position of the head of the family is still in the hands of the long house.

It was precisely because the previous elder understood this that he would strongly oppose her on the grounds that she was a woman, that is, he wanted to take the position of head of the family from the hands of the long house. Helplessly, the Great Elder was originally from the Long House, and this plan was destined to fail.

......

On the other side, Li Xuandu, who had just returned to Jinling Mansion, also learned of Qian Yulong's death, and even Li Xuandu, who was accustomed to all kinds of treacherous things, was also stunned.

Li Xuandu didn't expect that the last glance between him and Qian Yulong on the falling flower platform turned out to be a farewell between the two. Although the friendship between him and Qian Yulong is not as good as Hu Liang, there is also some friendship, and Qian Yulong's death still makes Li Xuandu a little sad.

Li Xuandu went to the Qian family's ancestral house and met the great elder who had been sitting in the Qian family's ancestral house, and before starting the deliberations of the elder hall, the great elder had a deep conversation with Li Xuandu, and asked Li Xuandu to help track down the murderer.

Li Xuan didn't know what the old ancestor of the Qian family had planned, and wanted him to be an outsider to meddle in the affairs of the Qian family, but because of his relationship with Qian Yulong, he still agreed, so under the guidance of Sheng Zikuan and Fan Zhenyue, he came to a secret room located in the depths of the Qian family's ancestral house, where three coffins were parked, one coffin belonged to Qian Yibai, one coffin belonged to Qian Yulong, and one coffin belonged to Qian Yulou.

The three of them probably wouldn't have imagined that they would not only die on the same day, the same month, and same year, but would also get together after their deaths.

Sheng Zikuan pushed open the lid of the coffin belonging to Qian Yulong and said softly: "Mr. Li, the body of the eldest prince is here." ”

Li Xuandu raised his eyes and looked, I don't know what method the Qian family used, Qian Yulong's body was extremely well preserved, and the whole person seemed to be asleep, only the five blood holes in his chest were extremely dazzling.

Li Xuandu saw the origin of these five blood caves at a glance, and said softly: "It's the 'Xuanyin Tu' of the Lady Sect." ”

Sheng Zikuan asked suspiciously, "How can Mr. Li see it?"

Li Xuan didn't speak, just swept with his knife.

Sheng Zikuan was startled, and subconsciously dodged back, but Li Xuandu didn't really make a move, just pointed, and the hand knife had stopped as soon as it reached the three-inch position in front of Sheng Zikuan, but the strong wind that could be brought up still made this Qian family worship suffocate suddenly.

Fan Zhenyue, who was on the side, saw it clearly, and hesitated: "This is the 'Cold Moon Saw' of the Maiden Sect?"

Li Xuandu nodded and said, "By chance, I once learned the exercises of the Maiden Sect, so I know their methods. This 'Xuanyin Tu' was born from the 'Taiyin Thirteen Swords' of the Yin Yang Sect, so it contains the 'Xuanyin Sword Qi', and Brother Qian died under the 'Xuanyin Sword Qi'. ”

Sheng Zikuan muttered, "I really didn't expect it, Mrs. Liu...... Liu Yushuang turned out to be a member of the Maiden Sect. ”

Li Xuandu said: "At the beginning, on the falling flower platform, the woman who shot at the old master of the Qian family was also a member of the Maiden Sect, and Fan Xianfeng should also know this." ”

Fan Zhenyue was a little embarrassed, after all, Qian Yibai died in front of him, but he still nodded and said, "What Mr. Li said is extremely true. ”

Sheng Zikuan couldn't help but shudder: "These women of the Lady Sect are like female spiders, forming cobwebs, waiting for the flying insects to crash into the net, leaving the useful ones, and eating the useless ones directly with the bones, the 'Blood Knife' Ning Yi, who ranked tenth on the Taixuan List, and the little heavenly master Zhang Luanshan back then, are not they still in their way? It's really terrifying, I didn't expect that now they have taken a fancy to the Qian family again." ”

Speaking of this, Sheng Zikuan and Fan Zhenyue glanced at each other, and they both saw worry on each other's faces.

Li Xuandu continued: "The Maiden Sect is divided into two factions, one is headed by Guang Miaoji, and the other is headed by Xuan Shengji, I don't know if it will be Guang Miaoji or Xuan Shengji who will make a move this time?"

In fact, Li Xuandu already had the answer, but he didn't say it.

The person who planned this would not be a palace official, but the mysterious Guang Miaoji.
