”The Great Elder urgently wants to punish me for my crimes. Could it be that he's afraid that if I continue speaking, he won't be able to step down the stage himself?”
Zhou Tong placed his hands behind his back, and spoke with a tone full of ridicule.
”It's true that Zhou Tong has gone out on a secret, but since Big Brother Zhou Lin is also kneeling here, I think I have a reason inside, I don't think I need to say anything more right? In order to punish my sins, should I let my elder brother be punished alongside me? If my big brother betrayed his clan, wouldn't he be punished by at least ten times the price of my punishment, and my staff by at least three hundred times?! ”
”Third brother, you are accusing me wrongly! When have I ever betrayed my family? What is your intention for making such a statement? ” Zhou Lin turned his head and looked at Zhou Tong with a venomous expression.
”Really?” Then, big brother, listen to me and see if I am wrongly accusing you. ”
”First of all, has Big Brother been to the escort company recently?”
”Of course I've been there before. Since I've already entered the escort company, I naturally need to know the path of the darts.” Zhou Lin immediately retorted.
”There is a rule in the escort company. Unless you are a leader, no Escort is allowed to bring the route map out of the escort company. Why don't we go to the escort company right now to take a look?”
”Also, since big brother is injured and can't follow the escort team, what's the use of going to get the map? Could it be that he planned to devote himself to researching the route at home and see if he could create a flower? You don't even understand such a simple logic, and yet you still dare to quibble?
Zhou Tong's angry shout immediately scared Zhou Lin, causing him to stumble and be unable to come up with any excuses.
”How is this Great Elder? Is there a problem with my proposal just now? If there are no problems, Zhou Tong is willing to accept the punishment of three hundred staff, and is grateful to face off against the Great Clan Elder. ” Zhou Tong asked while looking at the Great Clan Elder with a neither humble nor arrogant expression.
The Great Clan Elder clenched his teeth, Zhou Lin's action, seemed to have tacitly acknowledged his own crime. Zhou Tong received three hundred staff as punishment, and the meaning behind his words was that he wanted Zhou Lin's staff to be rewarded with three thousand, this was no different from a death sentence.
”Whatever, you're a member of the younger generation. Since you're young and arrogant, there's no need for you to pursue the matter.” The Head Elder let out a long sigh and waved his hands, his eyes looking towards the side.
”Since First Elder is not going to pursue the matter, this junior will have to investigate you.” Zhou Tong laughed coldly, ”Pawn it all over!”
After hearing Zhou Tong's instructions, a few servants immediately brought Zhou Jie up.
As Zhou Tong expected, upon seeing Zhou Jie, the Great Clan Elder's face immediately became extremely ugly, the teacup in his hand almost shattered into pieces.
”Grand Elder, this person is an outer court disciple of your branch, right?” Zhou Tong pointed to Zhou Jie.
”So what?” The Great Elder snorted coldly. His expression was extremely cold, and his two eyebrows were scrunched together.
”It is him that is hiding in the escort team, planning to do something to the escort car, this is what is found on his body, since he is from the Great Clan Elder's sect, let the Great Clan Elder handle it.”
As he spoke, Zhou Tong took out a wooden tablet from his bosom and threw it on the ground, his gaze cold and threatening.
The moment the wooden tablet landed, the First Elder immediately waved his hand and used the force to grab it. Before the other Elders could see clearly, he crushed the wooden tablet into pieces and threw it out.
The sharp piece of wood shot towards Zhou Jie. With a few dull sounds of flesh being pierced, Zhou Jie fell into a pool of blood before he could say anything.
”Clan leader, let's leave today's matter at this. It is my fault for not keeping a tight watch on such traitorous people.” Considering that Zhou Lin is the direct disciple of my sect, we shall first take him into custody, and then, after we find out about this matter, we will begin to punish him. ”
The Great Clan Elder stood up and cupped his hands towards Zhou Yuchuan, gritting his teeth he stood up, and then called for his servants to escort Zhou Lin and bring him away.
Seeing this, the other elders also stood up and left. Only Zhou Yuchuan and Zhou Tong were left in the great hall.
”Hmph, a bunch of beasts that eat outsiders.” Zhou Yuchuan sat on the seat of honor, looked at Zhou Jie's corpse and snorted.
”Dad, this matter isn't over yet.” Zhou Tong walked over and sat beside his father.
”Father knows that the clan's head, with the Great Elder as their head, already felt sympathy for him. It's just that he wasn't able to do anything big.”
Zhou Yuchuan raised his teacup and took a sip, ”However, I never expected that the Great Clan Elder's disciples would actually secretly contact the Zheng Family, it is truly detestable!”
”I'm afraid that not only are the people under the First Elder's tutelage, even the First Elder is not that clean. Look.” Zhou Tong curled his lips and laughed, then took out another wooden tablet from his bosom and placed it on the table.
”This is?” the nameplate of the Zheng Family's Third Elder?! ” Zhou Yuchuan picked up the wooden plate and looked at it. On it was engraved the Zheng Family's crest and the name of the Third Elder Zheng Jiang.
