Chapter 138 Lack of people
Da Jin muttered to himself with a face full of shame, "I really feel ashamed of the Du family and the clan for cultivating me over the years!"
At this moment, he was already panicking, with various thoughts constantly flashing through his mind. The only hope in his heart was not to follow in Kang Wu's footsteps and end up with a miserable end.
In fact, Da Jin was not very sure what kind of sin Kang Wu had committed to lead to such an end.
However, he has always known that Kang Wu is dissatisfied with the Du family, and always feels that the Du family is just a group of mediocre and incompetent people. Moreover, the Du family has long lost its former sharp edge, so how can they control him?
As for what Kang Wu had done behind the scenes that angered the Du family, Dajin knew nothing about it.
All we know is that at this critical moment when it is urgent to win over people's hearts, the new patriarch of the Du family who had just taken office did not even have time to meet with everyone formally, and hurriedly summoned Kang Wu.
As a result, after this encounter, Kang Wu actually lost his precious life.
In comparison, although Da Jin also had some unknown little tricks in his mind, in the final analysis, he was just greedy for some small profits. He was far from having the amazing courage like Kang Wu, and he had no real power at all.
At this time, Da Jin was hunched over and trembling slightly.
At this moment, a voice suddenly interrupted his thoughts, "Since you are well aware of the careful cultivation of your clan, then how much do you know about the Kang Wu incident?"
Wen Shu didn't beat around the bush with him. She was short on time and just wanted to finish that part as soon as possible. Before that, she wanted to see if she could get some useful information out of Da Jin.
"Kang Wu...?" Da Jin murmured in his heart, searching his mind for anything unusual about Kang Wu.
"Chief, speaking of Kang Wu, I usually work under him as a subordinate and dare not comment on his arrangements.
I dare not know his whereabouts. My life is worthless, I am living in peace and contentment, fortunately I have the protection of the Du family. I will guarantee with my life that I will not let the Du family down.
"Okay, I believe you won't betray the Du family. Even if you want to, you didn't have that ability before, and you will never have it in the future," Wen Shu interrupted immediately.
"You work with Kang Wu's men, and many of his affairs have to go through your hands. Have you noticed anything unusual about him recently?"
Dajin did not feel the patriarch's anger, although he did not know why the patriarch asked this.
But he no longer concealed what he knew.
"Think about it slowly and carefully, don't be in a hurry..."
When Kang Wu was in the village, he would either go to the Jingwu Hall to train people, or go to the back mountain to train with his troops. He had been doing this daily routine for decades.
If you really want to find fault, you really can't find anything wrong.
The only difference is that there have been some changes in the past few months, but in his opinion these changes are not a big problem.
But now that the patriarch asked, he wanted to grab any hint and curry favor with the patriarch.
"Chief, if there's anything different about Kang Wu, it's that since more than two months ago, he's been taking the village troops to the back mountains for daily training, and every day he's been coming back half an hour late."
"Half an hour." Wen Shu's voice was emotionless. She wanted to confirm and asked again, "Is he alone, or is there someone else who went to the back mountain with him?"
"Chief, you know I'm just an errand boy, and I really don't dare to say or ask too much in front of him.
I knew that Kang Wu started to return to the village late just after the spring planting season, but I didn't notice it at first.
As you know, summer is approaching and the daytime hours are getting longer. I am usually busy with village affairs and don’t pay much attention to it.
Until last month, there was movement in the village next to us, and the people who were supposed to return to the camp at the hour of You for so many years did not return on time.
I arrived a full quarter of an hour later and finally managed to return to the camp with my men. Since nothing serious had happened at the time, I didn't take it seriously.
"Does the Second Elder know?" Wen Shu asked with a chill in her heart when she heard this.
As soon as she asked this question, Wen Shu's eyes were fixed on his face, observing his expression and waiting for his reply.
She remembered that when her second uncle came the day before, if she remembered correctly, this man stayed in her second uncle's room for quite some time.
"The Second Elder doesn't know..." Da Jin finished speaking, then immediately felt something was wrong and continued, "When I met the Second Elder the other day, I was hesitant about whether to tell him. I thought it took so long, but it was only a few minutes late.
It didn't have any impact. At that time, the Second Elder was in charge of the affairs of the village and clearing the account books. I saw that the Second Elder was really overwhelmed.
I thought it was a small matter, so I didn’t bother him with it.”
The document "Xuan Yi, waiting for orders" is not waiting for Dajin.
"Yes, Master"
"Seventh Aunt, you have heard what Dajin said. There has been something unusual in the village for a long time. Now I would like to trouble you to go and take a look at what is happening in the village!" Wen Shu turned her head and looked at Du Qinnan beside her.
What she could do now was to quickly reorganize the troops in the village. After all, her second uncle was old and usually took care of the affairs of the village.
But after all, it is just a general matter, and the subordinates’ hearts are not sure who they are leaning towards.
Kang Wu has been leading his men for so many years, and now all of them are gone. Wen Shu doesn't believe that his men don't have any other ideas, and neither does anyone here.
……
"Chief, if there is anything I, Du Qinniang, can do for you, just tell me," Du Qinniang replied.
"Seventh Aunt, you are the most familiar with everyone present in this village, and you know the people in the village better than we do.
From now on, Kang Wu has rebelled, and you are the only one who can take over his position. I also trust you." I think the matter needs to be dealt with as soon as possible.
Wen Shu continued, "The situation is unclear now. Please go and take over now, Auntie."
"Okay, when are we going?" Du Qinniang also knew that this matter was serious and did not waste time.
"Seventh Aunt, wait a moment"
Wen Shu waved towards Xuan Yi——
"Xuan Yi, from now on, you are responsible for Seventh Aunt's safety. If there is anything that is inconvenient for her to show up, just take care of it directly. Don't make it difficult for her. Then report to her and me when the time comes."
When Du Qinniang heard Wen Shu's instructions, she didn't think that she was just being given a position for show.
She has never had patience for such things. If Wen Shu could put herself in her shoes like this, her worries would be alleviated a lot.
"Brother Du Ming!" A shout was heard.
"Chief!" Du Ming responded quickly.
Wen Shu said solemnly, "From now on, all the village affairs will be handled by you.
If you encounter any difficulties, you can just ask him for advice." Wen Shu pointed at Da Jin who was kneeling on the ground.
Deep down, Du Ming had some resistance to Dajin, but it was undeniable that all the affairs within the clan had always been managed by Dajin.
Even the accounts previously submitted to the Second Elder had to be carefully sorted out by him before they could be delivered.
In fact, Wenshu was well aware that she still had doubts about whether Dajin was truly loyal to the Du family.
However, at the moment, she really lacks anyone available.
