Mr. Fu ran away again today

On the third day of May, Elder Gao was buried.

Elder Gao's small courtyard was full of people, Elder Cui, the four general managers and the four hall masters were all there, besides the disciples who were about to carry the coffin.

Mo Chen knocked the coffin nails into the coffin lid himself.

In just a few days, he was completely broken.His face was as pale as paper, his lips were chapped, and his eyes were black. He looked like a ghost who had just crawled out of a coffin.

"Island owner, don't mourn too much." Elder Cui led Cui Wuyue over, patted Mo Chen's arm, and advised.

"Master Lao has missed it." Mo Chen paused, "Master is gone, and uncle is gone, so I only have my uncle as a family member, and I will have to worry about everything on the island from now on. "

Mo Chen's words came from the bottom of his heart. Although he didn't like this uncle, but in the end he was Master's junior, the elder who watched him grow up.

He hoped that Uncle Cui could really listen to what he said.

"That's natural, nephew, don't worry." Elder Cui said.

Mo Chen looked up at him, but he didn't see any sincerity in his eyes, only the expectation and excitement in his eyes.The anticipation in Mo Chen's eyes slowly faded away.

Hall Master Ma reminded from the side: "Island Master, it's almost time, it's time to ask Elder Gao to be buried in peace."

Mo Chen nodded, just as several disciples were about to step forward to carry the coffin, Elder Cui suddenly stepped forward and said: "Island Master, according to the rules of the island, on the day of the burial of the elders of the Law Enforcement Hall, the next elder should be announced in front of all the brothers. The head of the Law Enforcement Hall is chosen by the elderly."

After Elder Cui finished speaking, he raised his hand and pointed at the people standing inside and outside the courtyard.

"Uncle, uncle said that the new elder of the Law Enforcement Hall will announce in public after his burial." Mo Chen said.

"Nonsense, the island rules clearly say the date of burial." Elder Cui glanced at Hall Master Ma and said, "Master Ma, do you think so?"

Hall Master Ma saw that the spearhead was pointed at him, and wondered: "This... this subordinate really can't remember clearly, but it doesn't seem to make any difference..."

"There is no difference." Mo Chen's eyes darkened, so, did the thing he was worried about finally come?

Mo Chen sighed in his heart, he said: "Uncle is buried today, don't disturb the uncle's cleanliness and delay the time because of these things. Hall Master Ma, hurry up and get that wooden box."

The island owner had already spoken, so Hallmaster Ma could only say yes and go to pick it up in person.

After Hall Master Ma went out, although there were many people standing inside and outside the yard, it was extremely quiet. A gust of wind blew past, and the paper money on the side was scattered all over the ground.

The uncle just left, whose name will be written in the wooden box?

If it wasn't for Elder Cui, then only the four hall masters and the four chief executives had the highest status, and among them Ma Zhenwei, the hall master of the Vermillion Bird Hall, was the most important.

But Hall Master Ma said it wouldn’t be him, and Zhao Xuan, the chief financial officer, has just been appointed. Besides, the most prestigious one is probably the Hall Master of Baihu Hall, Bai Shoutian, and the Hall Master of Qinglong Hall. Eyeliners from all over the place, one is responsible for training the masters on the island.

Mo Chen looked at them, guessing who it would be.

After standing for a while, Mo Chen felt a faint pain from the wound, he whispered something to Xu Xiaoliang, Xu Xiaoliang went to hold a bowl, Mo Chen took it, the smell of wine was savory.

He drank it in a few sips, the spirit seemed to burn down his throat, and his whole body became clearer.Mo Chen let out a breath, and after a few more hours, he will be able to take a rest. He can't fall down at this time, otherwise it would be a waste of him tossing himself into such a state, just to let that suspicious old fox uncle relax Be vigilant and show your tail.

Not long after, Hall Master Ma came back holding the wooden box.

"Island Master, please open the wooden box." Hall Master Ma held the wooden box in front of Mo Chen.

Mo Chen took out a key from his sleeve, unlocked the wooden box in front of everyone, opened the wooden box, and took out a folded letter paper from inside.

Mo Chen unfolded the letter paper, was startled for a moment, then raised his eyes to look outside the small courtyard, but he didn't see that familiar face.

In an instant, countless thoughts skipped Mo Chen's mind, he suppressed those irrational fantasies, and finally found one that was quite convincing.Perhaps the uncle wrote down this name just to delay them.

"Island Master, please read the name." Elder Cui put his hands behind his hands, held his head high, as if his name must be written inside.

Mo Chen moved his lips, but did not make a sound, and finally handed the paper to Hall Master Ma: "You read it."

Hall Master Ma took it, and was also taken aback for a moment, then cleared his throat, and read aloud: "Fu Chuxi."

"What?" Elder Cui shouted, "How is this possible? Show me."

Hall Master Ma directly turned the paper over to the others, and the words "Fu Chuxi" were clearly written on it.

"Fu Chuxi? Fu Chuxi is no longer the chief financial officer of our Mochen Island!" Elder Cui said angrily, "Elder Gao probably wrote it when he was dying before he died? I don't think this can be counted!"

Cui Wuyue then shouted: "That's right! Can't be counted!"

Someone outside immediately chimed in.

The other managers and hall masters were also discussing in whispers, but no one expressed their opinion for the time being.

Mo Chen's gaze swept across the crowd one by one. At this moment, some people could no longer hold back and wanted to stand by Elder Cui.

"How can the Elder Elder of Law Enforcement Hall be someone from outside the island? Please ask the island owner to re-draft it!" Elder Cui said.

Bai Shoutian, the head of the White Tiger Hall, also said: "Yes, Mr. Fu has been gone for almost a year. Could it be that Elder Gao forgot?"

Mo Chen said: "No matter what, since it is the name written down by the master, I will find someone to ask Mr. Fu, if he—"

Elder Cui interrupted Mo Chen: "Island owner, isn't this against the rules? The elder of the Law Enforcement Hall must take over on the appointed day, that is, today. Since Fu Chuxi is not here, I beg the island owner to redesign the candidate."

Outside the door, many disciples also shouted for re-election.

Mo Chen rolled up his sleeves and looked at them: "Do you have anyone to recommend?"

As soon as Mo Chen finished speaking, Bai Shoutian said: "The elder of the Law Enforcement Hall is elected as the most respected person, and the subordinates think that Elder Cui is the best candidate!"

The master of Xuanwu Hall and the two managers also agreed.

"I know that Uncle Cui is highly respected. If seniority is considered, Uncle Cui should naturally take this position." Mo Chen raised his eyes and looked at Elder Cui, "It's just that the rules of Mochen Island have always been decided by the previous elder of the Law Enforcement Hall. Now Elder Gao He is gone, at least we should follow his advice and ask Mr. Fu, if he is willing, please invite him back, if—”

Elder Cui interrupted Mo Chen again: "Since you are the elder of the Law Enforcement Hall, you should abide by the rules of the island. According to the island rules, if Fu Chuxi came out to receive the seal of the Law Enforcement Hall at this moment, he would naturally be the elder of the Law Enforcement Hall. But if today If he doesn't come, then tomorrow at the latest, the island owner will choose him!"

Mo Chen gritted his teeth, pretending to be calm: "That's natural."

Before he finished speaking, a voice said loudly: "Then I'm afraid I will disappoint Elder Cui."

Mo Chen was shocked. He looked at the entrance of the courtyard. The disciples at the entrance all retreated to both sides. He saw Fu Chuxi walking into the courtyard indifferently wearing a black long-sleeved robe with dark patterns.

"Island Master, it's late—" Fu Chuxi's eyes fell on Mo Chen, and she was taken aback. When he sent Mo Chen away, Mo Chen was only a little weak. Why did he lose weight like this after a few days of absence? ?

Fu Chuxi pursed his lips, clenched his sleeves tightly into fists, and there was a look of anger in his eyes, which was gone when he looked at Elder Cui: "Elder Cui said just now that Fu came out to receive the seal of the Law Enforcement Hall, which is the Law Enforcement Hall Elder. Thank you Elder Cui for your support."

Elder Cui said coldly: "You left the island privately for nearly a year, how much should you be punished according to the island's regulations? I remember at least fifty lashes?"

"I let him go." Mo Chen said.

As soon as Mo Chen opened his mouth, Fu Chuxi couldn't help looking at him, but when he saw him standing there in a white filial robe, with no trace of blood on his face, only bloodshot from his chapped lips from time to time, Fu Chuxi felt angry in his heart.He really didn't know how Mo Chen made himself into such a state. Could it be that no one on the island cared about his life or death?

"The island owner should stop trying to argue for him," Elder Cui said. "Last year, the island owner spent a lot of manpower and financial resources in the Zhuque hall just to find a missing financial manager. This is something that the whole world knows."

Mo Chen moved his lips: "Mr. Fu, do you have the jade pendant I gave you?"

Fu Chuxi came back to her senses, took out the island owner's jade pendant from her body, and said following Mo Chen's words: "This subordinate almost forgot, now that the island owner's task has been completed, this island owner's jade pendant should be returned."

Fu Chuxi walked up to Mo Chen with the jade pendant, and returned the jade pendant to Mo Chen. Mo Chen reached out to take the jade pendant, but did not dare to look into Fu Chuxi's eyes. He just lowered his head and stroked the jade pendant, "Just come back." After finishing speaking, he looked at Elder Cui , "Now that Mr. Fu is back, according to the former elder of the Law Enforcement Hall, Mr. Fu will be the head of the Law Enforcement Hall from now on, and will be in charge of the seal of the Law Enforcement Hall. You must have met the new elder."

"Meet Elder Fu!"

Except for Elder Cui, everyone else bowed to salute.

"It's getting late, it's time to send Master to the ground for peace." Mo Chen said.

The coffin-carrying disciple lifted the coffin, and the paper money sprinkled into the air like white rain.

Mo Chen started to walk forward, he stood for too long, drank another bowl of strong wine, he staggered a little at the first step, Fu Chuxi immediately reached out to help him, but unexpectedly touched Mo Chen's sleeve, He withdrew his hand and walked forward alone.
