Chapter 4497 The Forgotten Patriarch
She waved to them: "Come here, sister, let's talk to you."
Seeing her friendly smile, the two girls slowly lost their fear and walked over holding hands.
"Do you know where my brother has gone?"
"have no idea."
The older girl, who looked about six or seven years old, replied crisply, "Brother won't tell us where he is going."
The child asked again: "Then when was the last time you saw him?"
"Yesterday..." The girl tilted her head and thought for a moment, "Yesterday after lunch, my brother went out and he hasn't come back yet. My parents are very angry."
The younger girl said in a sweet voice, "My father said that I will beat my brother when he comes back."
The older one asked slightly worriedly: "Did brother do something wrong?"
"No, my sister just wants to ask him for advice after something happens."
The toddler touched her head, took out all the snacks in his purse, and gave them to the two children. "Brother's affairs have nothing to do with you. You just go and play."
The two children had never seen such snacks before, so they happily went hand in hand.
The toddler walked out of Jin's house and looked around, a little annoyed.
Now it seems that Xiang Qiulang's suspicion is a little bigger.
But I haven't seen him since yesterday. Did he run away in fear, or was something wrong?
The toddler wasn't sure, but she would never let the murderer go.
After returning, except for those who stayed to protect Xiaoer and Qian'er, she took all the remaining thousands of soldiers out to search for Xiangqiulang in the stockade and in the mountains and forests.
The noise was so loud that it quickly attracted the attention of the Uzbek people.
After inquiring like this, they found out that these nobles from the royal family suspected that Xiang Qiu Lang started the fire last night.
And Xiangqiu Lang has disappeared since yesterday.
This Xiangqiu Lang was tall and fat. Although he was idle and had nothing serious to do on weekdays, he was quite popular and was cheerful to others.
When Xiangqiulang's parents found out, they cried and complained. In addition, the Uzbek people were somewhat protective of their shortcomings. Seeing these outsiders searching the village with great fanfare aroused their dissatisfaction.
They ran to complain to Long Fei and asked him to come forward. As a result, Long Fei said that he was no longer the high priest and had nothing to do, and asked them to find a new high priest.
It's like pushing the matter to Xiaozhuang.
Unexpectedly, Xiaozhuang didn't even open the door, let alone see them, and didn't want to hear a word.
How can this be done?
He is the high priest and must take care of all the affairs of the Uzbek people.
The Uzbek people were wronged and bullied by foreigners, and the high priest was not allowed to come out to deliver justice?
However, Xiaozhuang didn't even bother to say a perfunctory word and stayed behind closed doors.
Seeing the young child leading a group of tiger-like and wolf-like soldiers, turning the village into a mess, everyone who was really helpless finally remembered one person.
A person they have long forgotten——
The patriarch Dongdan.
Logically speaking, the clan leader should be in charge of things. The high priest is responsible for rituals such as sacrifices. However, the clan leader is not taken seriously now.
Now they couldn't find the high priest. After thinking for a long time, they remembered Dongdan, the patriarch, and quickly found him.
Dongdan was a little confused at first.
He has been the leader of the clan for many years, and has been mocked more often than when he was respected.
This was the first time that he felt the dignity of being a clan leader.
However, when he heard that the big guys were looking for him to seek justice and ask him to drive those Zhou nobles out of the village, Dongdan's newly rising dignity as a patriarch disappeared instantly.
