"If you don't explain, don't go back. I'm afraid Fengyin Village will have to choose a new clan leader." The voice of the Ninth Prince Ye Ruize echoed coldly in the air, carrying unquestionable majesty.

These words were like a heavy hammer, hitting the patriarch's heart hard, shocking her.

The clan leader raised his head in panic, his eyes filled with horror.

She looked at Ye Ruize in disbelief, feeling a strong uneasiness in her heart.

Could this Ninth Prince really want to kill him? Could it be that Jiang Youqian really returned to the village? How come you don’t know anything about it? How can this be?

Jiang Qingchen stood aside and looked at the clan leader quietly, with a firmness and coldness in his eyes.

She didn't want to delay it any longer. The patriarch was obviously hiding something.

She needed to find Jiang Youqian as soon as possible and end all this.

So, she turned around and told Dong'er: "Dong, go to Fengyin Village and gather all the villagers at the entrance of the ancestral hall. We will arrive soon."

Dong'er nodded and immediately turned around and left.

Ninth Prince Ye Ruize looked at Jiang Qingchen's actions with a trace of doubt in his eyes.

He quietly approached Jiang Qingchen and asked in a low voice: "My wife, do you really want to choose the clan leader?"

Jiang Qingchen smiled slightly and turned to look at Ye Ruize, his eyes shining with wisdom.

She smiled softly and said, "Just watch it."

Although Ye Ruize still had doubts in his heart, looking at Jiang Qingchen's confident look, he stopped asking any more questions.

He believed that Jiang Qingchen must have her own ideas and plans.

The clan leader was even more frightened as he listened to their conversation.

She didn't know what Jiang Qingchen was going to do, but she could feel a strong sense of crisis approaching.

She prayed secretly in her heart, hoping that Jiang Youqian really didn't come back, otherwise the entire Fengyin Village would be implicated.

Jiang Qingchen didn't care about the clan leader's reaction, she already had a plan in mind.

Money can make the world go round. Among these villagers, there must be people who love money. She has a lot of money now, and she can easily find Jiang Youqian's whereabouts with just a few dollars.

She believes that as long as someone sees the money, they will be tempted. By then, even if the clan leader doesn't say anything, someone will take the initiative to find out Jiang Youqian's whereabouts.

After a while, Dong'er led a group of villagers to the entrance of the ancestral hall.

The villagers had surprised expressions on their faces when they saw the patriarch being tied there. They were talking a lot, not knowing what was going on.

Jiang Qingchen stood at the door of the ancestral hall, looking at the villagers, and already had an idea in his mind.

She cleared her throat and said loudly: "Fellow folks, I have called you here today because there is something important to announce."

The villagers fell silent and looked at Jiang Qingchen curiously.

Jiang Qingchen continued: "I know that everyone respects the patriarch, but the patriarch is now suspected of harboring Jiang Youqian, which is something our village cannot tolerate. Jiang Qingqian murdered Princess Princess of the Eight Sages, and the emperor personally ordered his arrest. If anyone dares Protect and kill the nine tribes.”

She raised a gold brick in her hand and said with a smile, "As long as someone reveals the real hiding place of Jiang Youqian, I will award you ten gold bricks like this."

As soon as she finished speaking, the villagers exploded. They were talking about it, they really didn't expect that Jiang Youqian would dare to murder Princess, this was contrary to heaven.

It was just discussion, and no one stood up.

When the patriarch heard this, he shouted anxiously: "Jiang Qingchen, you ungrateful thing, how dare you do such a disrespectful thing. Do you know that in the village, the village rules are greater than the emperor's laws. How dare you Locking up the village chief will be punished by God."

Jiang Qingchen looked at the clan leader coldly, without any emotion in his heart. She knew that the clan leader was using village rules to pressure her. However, she doesn't care.

She just wanted to find Jiang Youqian as soon as possible, no matter what method, whatever method was quick, she would use it.

So, she smiled slightly and said: "Patriarch, you don't have to worry. I will naturally act in accordance with the village rules. But the most important thing now is to find Jiang Youqian. As long as anyone can tell his whereabouts, I will reward him heavily. , How can something that is good for the court, us, and everyone become ungrateful? "

If she hadn't remembered that the original owner was from this village, she wouldn't have been so patient.

Jiang Qingchen stood in front of the ancestral hall, looking coldly at every villager present.

She thought that offering a large reward would attract people to rush to testify, but to her surprise, no one came forward to tell Jiang Youqian's whereabouts.

This made her feel doubtful and disappointed.

The villagers lowered their heads and whispered, but no one dared to look Jiang Qingchen in the eyes.

Obviously, they all knew everything about Jiang Youqian, but they chose to remain silent. This made Jiang Qingchen feel angry and helpless.

At this moment, a slightly haggard middle-aged woman walked out of the crowd. It was Jiang Qingchen's aunt Jiang Liuxiang. She walked timidly in front of Jiang Qingchen, with complicated emotions flashing in her eyes.

"Gege, I didn't expect that in just three years, you would become Gege."

Jiang Liuxiang's voice was trembling. She seemed to want to get closer to Jiang Qingchen, "My poor aunt, ever since you dreamed... I didn't expect that, Qingchen, my aunt really misses you."

Jiang Qingchen looked at her coldly, but there was no wave in his heart.

She clearly remembered how Jiang Liuxiang teamed up with her daughter Jiang Mengchen to frame her.

Those painful memories were engraved in her heart like a knife.

"Aunt? If you really recognized me, those things wouldn't have happened." Jiang Qingchen's voice was cold and firm, "You stand up, but do you know the whereabouts of Jiang Youqian?"

Jiang Liuxiang was speechless for a moment by Jiang Qingchen's words.

She shook her head desperately and retreated into the crowd. Obviously, she didn't know the whereabouts of Jiang Youqian, and just wanted to take the opportunity to curry favor with this nobleman in the capital.

Jiang Qingchen looked at Jiang Liuxiang's retreating figure and strengthened his determination in his heart.

These people are all people who follow the trend of others. As long as they are given enough benefits, they may tell the whereabouts of Jiang Youqian.

So, she said loudly again: "Fellow folks, I know that everyone has difficulties. However, Jiang Youqian's matter is related to the safety of the entire village. As long as someone can tell his whereabouts, I, Jiang Qingchen, will be rewarded!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the villagers started talking again. Some people have greed in their eyes, as if they are weighing the pros and cons.

Some people remain silent and do not want to get involved in the dispute.

Jiang Qingchen is not in a hurry. She believes that as long as she is given enough benefits, someone will always stand up and testify against Jiang's wealth. She waited quietly, her eyes firm and cold.
