Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Chapter 1056

After the two left, Zhang Siming brought the main members of his family to a side hall and said:

"Now we can be sure that the bastard surnamed Wei must have been responsible for the clan leader's death. He was afraid that the clan leader would report his crimes to the imperial court!"

"Of course, the military officers of Wei are powerful and influential, and we, a small family, cannot resist them. Now we can only seek help from others."

"There are two things we need to do now. First, inform the government that we need to send people to the dock to search for the patriarch's body."

"Second, spread the news of the clan leader's murder tomorrow, invite other clans to offer their condolences, and use this opportunity to discuss countermeasures!"

In fact, at this time, these people in the Zhang family were a little at a loss and had no idea what to do.

Fortunately, Zhang Siming stood up now. With him as the backbone, others naturally had no objections and agreed on the spot.

Later, under Zhang Siming's arrangement, the Zhang family sent all the guards and servants to the dock to try to find the murderer and Zhang Dengyue's body.

Of course the murderer could not be found. After all, Ma Baoguo had made preparations long ago and ordered the Jinyiwei to drive the boat away.

However, when dealing with Zhang Dengyue's body, the Jinyiwei were not too meticulous and just threw it away somewhere.

So after searching near the dock for a while, the Zhang family found Zhang Dengyue's body and brought it back home.

Time always passes by inadvertently, and the next morning the Zhang family sent everyone in the family to deliver the obituary.

As a result, the Zhang family hadn't even set up the mourning hall yet, but those family members arrived early.

They all looked like close friends attending a funeral, but in fact they were taken to the backyard as soon as they entered the door.

Zhang Siming sat in the first seat, dressed in mourning. He stood up and saluted everyone, then said in a sad voice:

"Everyone, the Zhang family is facing this great disaster because of the complaint we filed in the capital. Now the clan leader..."

Having said that, Zhang Siming choked for a moment, and then continued to speak, adding some exaggeration to what happened yesterday.

"Yesterday, the clan leader boarded the ship from the dock, but who knew that Wei had already guessed that we would send someone to the capital to file a complaint."

"They had ambushed the pier long ago. The thieves kidnapped the clan leader as soon as he boarded the ship. They even slaughtered all eight of us, including the clan leader." "Only one person managed to escape. If not, my Zhang family would still be in the dark about the clan leader's murder."

After Zhang Siming finished speaking, he immediately asked someone to call the servant from yesterday and recounted the whole incident with some exaggeration.

After hearing this, everyone present was stunned, and then a gloomy and worried look appeared on their faces.

No one felt sad about Zhang Dengyue's death, but this incident of Zhang Dengyue made them feel a sense of grief for the other party.

Wei Wu even dared to send people to kill Zhang Dengfeng, a Jinshi, so will it be their turn tomorrow?

If that time really comes, will I be able to survive?

Just when everyone was silent, Bao Guanjiao suddenly stood up, took a deep breath and said:

"Everyone, today's Zhang clan leader may be us tomorrow. Does anyone still object to my proposal?"

These people had gathered together twice before, and Bao Guanjiao had mentioned finding someone to kill Wei Wu.

It’s just that Zhou Li was there at the time, so others who didn’t want to take risks would naturally support Zhou Li in rejecting this matter.

But now, Zhou Li has been abandoned by the Zhou family. Even if there are still people who are unwilling to assassinate Wei Wu, no one will take the lead.

In addition, Zhang Dengyue's current fate made them frightened, so naturally no one would speak out against Bao Guanjiao.

This is exactly the result that Bao Guanjiao wants to see, and it is also the goal that Zhang Siming wants to achieve.

So, under the leadership of Bao Guanjiao, a group of people began to discuss how to take action without being implicated.
