Chapter 59 Interrogation by the Patriarch of the Chamber

"I'm not in the room." Hong Meng said helplessly. Hong Zheng asked, he couldn't answer, and he couldn't explain it, unless he exposed everything. However, who would admit himself and recognize himself in the auction? The cloak and black clothes hurt people!

The smile on the elder's face became even stronger. He didn't know where Hong Meng was before, but when he heard Hong Meng's words, he suddenly felt that all this was not good for Hong Meng. Could this be the so-called will of heaven?

Hong Zheng was stunned and wanted to help Hong Meng, but Hong Meng's own words pushed him deep into the fire pit. Even though Hong Zheng tried hard to protect Hong Meng, let alone the Great Elder could not pass this level, even his own actions would betray him.

"But, I'm not in the clan." Hong Meng suddenly thought that when he entered the door, he had said a few words to the two guards, and the guard's mocking words still echoed in his ears. As long as the guard is called, all doubts will be solved, and there is no need for the auctioneer to come and verify.

"Oh? Is there a witness?" Hong Zheng showed joy when he heard this. It seemed that things had a turnaround. If the witnesses were called, all disputes would be resolved.

"Yes, please call them here for the guard this morning." At this moment, Hong Meng breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the door, and said. However, he still had some concerns in his heart. If they did not cooperate with him, it would be a big trouble.

"Hong Maocai, go and call people." The elder's face was not kind, his brows furrowed, and his lips twitched twice. He said intently: "Where is there a guard?"

"Okay! The right symptoms in court. The Great Elder, if Hong Meng is not in the clan, can this thief be exempted?" The clan leader Hong Zheng turned his head and said to the Great Elder. His eyes were full of confidence, which seemed to be a blow to the Great Elder. This Great Elder has always been powerful in the clan, and he likes to meddle in "nothing business" and often disagrees with himself. Now that he has the opportunity to attack him, he will be sorry to the Great Elder without adding any trouble.

"That's not necessarily." The elder immediately denied it and glared at Hong Meng fiercely, "Even if it proves that he is not in the clan, how can these two pearls and first-grade medicinal materials be explained? Could it be that the clan leader gave this kid privately?"

"You--" Hong Zheng didn't expect that the elder had this trick. These details were so thoroughly considered and he had to blame himself. He was really hateful. He sneered and retorted: "I don't have medicinal materials. What if I give him one or two plants?"

"I didn't say anything." The great elder Hong Ju wanted to use this to make things difficult for Hong Zheng, saying that he abused his private rights, but forgot that Xiao Yao once gave medicinal materials, not only for himself, but also for this clan leader.

"The guard is here." Hong Yu was standing at the door and reported it all.

"Come in." The patriarch Hong Zheng hurriedly called the two of them in and asked: "You guys tell me, did you see Hong Meng enter this morning? It's better to come from the truth."

Before the two of them could answer, the elder coughed three or four times, and tears came out. Wiping away the tears with one hand, the elder said with apologies: "You heard from the clan leader, have you never seen Hong Meng this morning?" However, the eyes of his eyes as he looked at the two guards were full of viciousness, as if he was hinting at something.

At this time, Hong Yufeng suddenly spoke, "Don't worry, the elder, they will tell the truth." Then, with a flattering look, he looked at the elder with a sincere look, but his heart kept rewarding.

"We have never seen each other before." The two men were sent to the door to be guards, and that would be just a waste of time. Now, looking at the face of the elder, I will definitely have a day to make a comeback. As long as the words and conversations are appropriate, I will not be able to make the elder's reverse scale.

"Nonsense! It's obviously you two, why are you deceived the patriarch here? I was wearing a cloak at that time. Did you forget it so quickly?" Hong Meng said angrily. These two people were really hateful. They told the truth, and they dared to lie in front of the patriarch. Hong Meng was anxious, took a step forward, pointed at these two people with his fingers, wishing they could eat them alive...,

The two guards were still ridiculing Hong Meng's chaos in the morning. At this moment, when they saw the elder coughing, they changed their words and denied it and did not take the patriarch seriously. Seeing Hong Meng pointing at him and cursing, the two pretended to be wronged to win the sympathy of the elder and the trust of the patriarch.

"Enough!" Hong Zheng shouted sternly. He was also suspicious about what had happened just now, but he was unable to speak out and was unable to refute the words of the two guards. He stretched his right hand forward and made a 'stop'. Hong Zheng thought about it and made a more appropriate decision: "Even if this is the case, he still cannot be convicted. I think he would still call the witnesses and it would not be too late to discuss them in the afternoon."

"Class leader, I-" Hong Meng also knew that the leader had no choice but to follow the patriarch's wishes and said, "I'll go and ask for witnesses myself."

"That won't work. If you leave, who will I settle the score?" The great elder Hong Ju said angrily, but saw him staring at his eyes, a shrill look flashing in his eyes, like a hunting tiger.

"Hong Meng is still staying in the room. As for witnesses, I will send someone to invite you. I wonder which witnesses you have?" Hong Zheng asked.

Hong Meng roughly calculated that if Qing'er is included, Lao Lin in the medicinal material warehouse, there are only two people. As for Xue Mei'er, Hong Meng is not sure whether she is willing to come, and she is even more certain whether she is aware of her identity. In this way, Hong Meng's witnesses are three.

"There are three people in total, all of whom are from the auction."

"Well? Do you still have a friendship with the auction? When have you been to the auction?" The patriarch Hong Zheng said in confusion. What was even more puzzled was how Hong Meng, who seemed ordinary, would have celebrated a holiday with the auction, and even invited them to testify? He looked at Hong Meng in a bit incredible, and then looked at the Great Elder and said, "Can the Great Elder invite witnesses? You must know that the medicinal materials in the world look the same, but there are quite a few similar ones. Maybe the Great Elder has misread it, but it is unknown."

"Please invite me! That Xiaoyao boy is close to me and I'm going to invite him. There is no problem. But Hong Meng is sure to be able to invite the people at the auction?" The elder was very surprised to hear that Hong Meng had such a little relationship with the people at the auction. The auction in Yuanguang City has always been a place where big families gather. People don't care about small families like them, let alone invite them to be witnesses. This person is coming and going, how do you, a little person, attract the attention of the auction, and thus prove that you have ever appeared in the auction?

The patriarch was also considering this issue. A small person like Hong Meng is the most inconspicuous even in the Hong family, let alone the auction where the big family is everywhere? Shaking his head, Hong Zheng's face continued to disappoint, and the surprise just now disappeared for a moment, saying, "Hong Meng, big talk is not a random thing. If you are not sure, don't bother others. If you get angry, our small family can't afford it!"

Hong Meng had no idea in his mind. He had considered what the patriarch said, but among the millions of people, who should I ask for help? It was difficult for the people at the auction to recognize that he was the cloaked man who had just been famous. The once gaze and glory of the past have all disappeared, and what is left is the intrigue of the Hong family and the inexplicable suffocation.

When Hong Zheng saw Hong Meng silent, he shook his head again and again, then waved his hand to Hong Gongming and others, and said helplessly: "Take him back to the room and take good care of him. Wait until the witnesses arrive in the afternoon, and come and interrogate again. They are all dispersed."

Hong Meng looked at the disappointed back of the patriarch. The big stone in his heart not only did not fall, but became heavier and more and more uncomfortable. He had a lot of bitterness, and didn't know where to kill him. He was not sighing in his heart: "This matter is controlled by people; this life is controlled by heaven; this life is controlled by Tao. When can he be a free person, a free immortal, not controlled by others, and not reincarnated by the heavenly way. I don't know how many people yearn for such a wish, but who can be free between heaven and earth? Even if he is as strong as Huangdi, he will be transformed into dust. In this world, this heavenly way is ruthless and unrighteous!"…,

A leaf drifts away, free and free in the world.

The law of life and death, and I escape from the immortals.

Sitting alone on the edge of the bed, Hong Meng stood restlessly, sighing, thinking about whether to leave secretly, so that he would not have to suffer too much pain. But once he escaped, the thief's crime would naturally fall on his head, and he would not clean it up in this life.

I left, but my mother was still there at home, and I said familiarly, "My parents are here, don't travel far away." What I did in the past has hurt my parents. Now, I am carrying the blame for the thief. How should my mother bear it? How to accept it?

It’s a pity that although the world is big, people’s hearts are in a small state, and this one is full of conspiracy, intrigue, hypocrisy and deception. This heart slowly dripped in the quiet room, and Hong Meng was sad.

"You retreat, I'm here."

"But the Great Elder—"

"Is the Great Elder here?"

"this--"

When Hong Meng was lamenting, Uncle Tong's familiar and powerful voice suddenly came from outside the door, but seeing that the door of the house was suddenly retreated, Uncle Tong walked in with anger on his face.

"Uncle Tong, that - the Great Elder -" Hong Yu, who was guarding the door, blocked Uncle Tong, and his words were filled with a little oppression.

"The patriarch asked you to take him to his room. Who asked you to bring him here? You said!" Uncle Tong ignored Hong Yufeng's obstacles and roared angrily.

"That big--"

"No need to say, get out first!" Uncle Tong didn't need to ask, and naturally knew that it was the order of the great elder again, so he immediately scolded Hong Yu and the others to go out.

Hong Yufeng and the other two had experienced Uncle Tong's power and had learned a lot of lessons from him. Seeing Uncle Tong get angry, they didn't dare to moji anymore. They immediately ran out and closed the door.

"The Great Elder is really not a good thing! He actually made the dark room where you are cold and humid. Ordinary people will suffer from serious illness within half a day. "Uncle Tong is very pleased, regardless of whether he has ears outside the door, he speaks out loud and scolds him.
