Concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion: Abandoned concubine is not easy to mess with

Chapter 208

When everyone finally arrived at An Liao's house, it was already the morning of the second day.An Liao's parents cried for a long time when they heard that An Hua had died, and then prepared a meal for everyone.

After breakfast, the group set off again and returned to Ancheng in the evening of that day.

"Brother?" An Zhi saw An Yuan and the others coming back, and ran over happily, "Brother, who is this person?" old man.

"He is the ancestor of the An family!" As soon as An Yuan came back, the concierge immediately found a few servants and took over the work of carrying people. "An Zhi, you should immediately notify the elders and tell them to rush to the ancestral hall as soon as possible. The patriarch will hold an elders meeting!"

"Dad is back?" An Zhi's eyes searched the crowd, but he didn't see his father's shadow, and his small face sank sadly.

"Go!" My younger brother is still young after all, and he is very dependent on his parents, but he can't tell him right now that their father may never come back.

"Oh!" An Zhi pouted, and walked out of the door slowly.

An Yi took Wen Fei back to the courtyard, while Gan Fu and An Yuan got into the carriage and headed towards the westernmost part of Ancheng.

"Patriarch, there are a total of twenty elders in the An family. After my father disappeared, the three elders who were in charge of the Tantric sect of the An family also disappeared, so now there are only seventeen left!" An Yuan sat in the carriage and began to help Gan Fu popularize the An family knowledge, "The Great Elder, the Seventh Elder, and the Thirteenth Elder are in charge of the Xingtang, the Third Elder, the Tenth Elder, and the Fifteenth Elder are in charge of the Anjia Tantra, and it is the three of them who are missing. The four elders are responsible for family sacrifices, the fourth elder, sixth elder, twelfth elder, and nineteenth elder are responsible for clan affairs, and the rest of the elders are responsible for the supervision of the medicinal material business."

"It's very troublesome!" Gan Fu leaned on the soft couch and prepared to squat for a while, but An Yuan was chattering away, so she muttered displeasedly.

"Patriarch, there are many members of the An family, and the business of medicinal materials of the An family is spread all over the world, so there are naturally many things. The medicinal materials are related to people's livelihood, and the rise and fall of the An family is directly related to the vital interests of the people all over the world. Therefore, as the head of the An family, I have a great responsibility!" An Yuan saw Gan Fu A little impatient, he patiently persuaded, "Over the years, the patriarch has been held by the ancestors, and the daily affairs are handed over to the suzerain. The ancestors entrusted you with the settlement because they trust you and hope that you can shoulder this responsibility. I also know that it is really too much of a stretch to ask you, a woman, to bear these things, but this generation of An family's children are mediocre, and they really can't bear such a heavy responsibility!"

"The An family is so big, why can't we find a capable person?" Gan Fu rolled her eyes, and it was the first time she saw An Yuan's whining and nagging.It's really inappropriate for such a person to manage a big family, but since the entire Ancheng is owned by the An family, is there really no one among the children of the An family who can be qualified for the position of patriarch?

"To be honest, it's true!" An Yuan sighed in shame, "The An family has lived in Ancheng for thousands of years, and has been controlling the world's medicinal materials business, and has accumulated a lot of wealth. The descendants of the An family enjoy the wealth left by their predecessors. They are degraded from generation to generation, and mediocre from generation to generation. Especially the An family clan, they have inexhaustible money sitting at home, and they have not learned the talent that is the best in the world, but they have learned to fight in the nest."

Speaking of this, there was a trace of helplessness and sadness in An Yuan's eyes, "People in the An family can kill their closest relatives for money, and the purpose is to get the position of suzerain."

Gan Fu was very touched by An Yuan's words, not to mention a family as big as the An family, even the members of the Gan family, didn't it mean that you harmed me, I harmed you, for the sake of fame and status, nothing can be done. "But I'm really not interested in taking care of your housework, okay, I'm tired, I want to take a break!"

"Okay!" An Yuan didn't say any more, leaned against the car wall and closed his eyes to rest.

The ancestral hall of the An family is located on the mountain west of Ancheng. This mountain belongs to the Yunshan Mountains and is called the sacred mountain by the An family.The patriarchs, suzerains and elders of the An family were all buried here, condescendingly protecting the descendants of the An family.

The ancestral hall is built on the top of the mountain and covers a vast area. Three independent buildings are scattered on the top of the mountain in a zigzag shape.Except for important family matters that need to open the ancestral hall, there are usually only a few people who clean and offer incense.

"Welcome to the patriarch!" When the two arrived at the ancestral hall, the other elders were all present and bowed their waists respectfully to salute the carriage.Who let them hear that the legendary patriarch is back? You know, the old patriarch is a legend of the An family. He has lived for more than 300 years and is like a god in the hearts of the people.If any of them dared to come a little later, the patriarch said, what a little elder is.

When Gan Fu and An Yuan got out of the carriage, everyone's eyes were still on the carriage.Although everyone was surprised to see a strange girl appearing here, he was more concerned about the old patriarch who hadn't come down for a long time.

"Second Elder, please open the gate of the ancestral hall!" An Yuan walked up to a group of old men and saluted respectfully to one of them.

"An Yuan, please come down, patriarch!" The second elder still bowed his head respectfully, only looking at the carriage from the corner of his eye.

"Elders!" An Yuan stood up straight, bowed to the elders present, and then pointed to Gan Fu beside him and said loudly: "The old ancestor has passed away, and this is the new patriarch appointed by the old ancestor himself! "

"An Yuan, are you kidding me?" The Great Elder was tall and tall, and he looked to be in his seventies, but his voice was like a bell when he spoke, his face was ruddy, and he was in good spirits.Hearing An Yuan's words, he stared at An Yuan with a straight face.

"Yes, Anyuan, we all know that you want to succeed the suzerain, but you are still here, so you can't wait?" The fourth elder is fat and smiles like a Maitreya Buddha, but what he said is not at all. Not friendly, looking at An Yuan and Gan Fu with contempt and contempt.

"Yeah!" The other elders didn't believe An Yuan's words. At the beginning you accused An Yuan of each other, and the Seventh Elder even pointed at Gan Fu and cursed, "Where did you come from, you wild girl, how dare you Pretend to be the head of the An family, come here, tie the two of them up for me, and hand them over to the punishment hall!"

Ganfu didn't want to waste time with everyone, but if she didn't get rid of these people first, she couldn't enter the secret room, and couldn't see the secret volume of the Gu technique, so she couldn't save Wenfei, so she snorted coldly and took out a piece of paper from her sleeve. The bright white jade pendant was placed in front of everyone.The shape of the jade pendant is irregular and looks like nothing. Judging from the degree of wear and tear around the jade pendant, this jade pendant is probably older than the 300-year-old old patriarch. of!"

Only then did the noisy crowd quiet down. They looked at each other, thinking it was impossible, but the jade pendant didn't look like a fake.

"Who knows if the jade pendant you are holding is real? We need to check it!" The fourth elder raised his head proudly, walked up to Gan Fu, snatched the jade pendant, held it in his hand, looked at it carefully for a long time, and then Pass it to someone else.

The other elders took the jade pendant and carefully identified it for a long time, then stared at Ganfu with a bitter face as if they had swallowed Coptis chinensis.

"How is it? Is it true?" Gan Fu stared at the group of old men with a cold face. If it wasn't for saving Wen Fei, they invited her to come, but she didn't want to come.

"Even if the jade pendant is real, it doesn't mean that the old patriarch gave it to you. Maybe you and An Yuan joined forces to assassinate the old patriarch, and then took the jade pendant to try to seize the position of the patriarch of the An family!" The fourth elder Unwilling to give up, I don't want to believe that the old patriarch will pass on the position of patriarch to a little girl, "Besides, she is not from the An family at all, she is not qualified to be the patriarch of the An family!"

"That's right, she's not even a member of the An family. The old patriarch will never pass on the position of patriarch to her!" The other elders also followed suit. No one wanted to believe that the position of patriarch of the An family would fall to someone with a foreign surname. On the little girl.The most important reason is that they all want to be the patriarch.

"Believe it or not, I'm here today, I just want to enter the secret room to check the tantric sect. When I find what I'm looking for, I don't even want to be the head of the Laoshizi clan!" Gan Fu was pissed off by these old men , suddenly roared.

"Only the patriarch can enter the secret room, why do you go in!" The Great Elder, as the person in charge of the punishment hall,

It was the head of all the elders again, how could an outsider be allowed to enter An's secret room, so he roared in a deep voice, and embraced Ganfu in front of him.

"Today, I have to go in!" Ganfu didn't want to argue with them, Wenfei was still waiting for her to save her, if she wanted to convince these old men to open the secret room, it would take a lot of time, but Wenfei couldn't wait , So, Gan Fu waved to An Er who was following behind, "An Er, break in!"

"Yes!" An Er has long been impatient, the master's life is dying, and these old things are still here to stop them in every possible way, holding back their anger, and under Ganfu's order, they fly up and plunder the elders.

Although these elders are the best in the An family, their martial arts are really not that good. An Er hit everyone's acupoints in less than a quarter of an hour without any effort.

"Patriarch, I'm afraid this is not good!" An Yuan couldn't bear to see Gan Fu treat these elders like this. After all, they are their elders. If there is a tension today, it may not be so easy to ease it later.

"I can't control that much anymore!" Gan Fu followed An Er into the ancestral hall, and just stepped into the gate, ten men in black descended from the sky, blocking the way.

An Er was about to make a move, but was stopped by Gan Fu.Gan Fu took out the jade pendant in her hand and yelled at the man in black, "I am the patriarch of the An family, who would dare to stop me?"

Sure enough, when the ten men in black saw the jade pendant, they immediately stepped aside.

Ganfu took a glance at the men in black, and walked into the ancestral hall through the passage they gave way to.An Yuan saw Gan Fu go in, and followed her in.

The ancestral hall is not much different from other ancestral halls, except for the spiritual seats of the previous patriarchs, there are some portraits and murals. Gan Fu, An Er, and An Yuan walked through the first and second courtyards, and led by An Yuan to the third courtyard. yard.

The three courtyards are independent, and each courtyard is connected by a corridor. The three courtyards are in the shape of a character. The courtyard they are currently in is on the west side, and it is a towering octagonal pagoda with a height of eight floors.

"I can only send you here. No one can enter the secret pagoda except the pagoda!" An Yuan looked up at the sacred pagoda with solemn eyes, "Your jade pendant is the key, and I don't care what it looks like inside." knew!"
