As soon as Shen Qiqi returned, she told the elders of the clan about the traitor in the city.
But he didn't say who it was.
Several elders of the Shen family immediately filtered out the suspects who might be the traitor in their minds.
However, no matter how they filtered it, they never thought of the Fifth Elder.
These elders of the clan were all members of the Shen family. Naturally, family members would not suspect each other. But they did not expect that the traitor was actually a member of the family!
How could the Fifth Elder do such a thing, and how dare he do such a thing, by colluding with evil spirits and secretly opening the city gates to let them in to harm the people!
The Great Elder, who was the head of all the elders in the clan, was so angry that his temples were throbbing. He slapped the Fifth Elder hard in the face and pointed at his nose and said angrily: "You! You...you are unworthy of the Shen family! How could our Shen family produce a scum like you!"
If he was just confused for a moment and coveted the position of head of the family, he could still plead for the fifth elder.
However, colluding with evil spirits to harm the people, not to mention that it would be useless for him, a clan elder, to plead for mercy. Even if the clan head himself asked to forgive the fifth elder, the other Xuanmen families would not agree, and the people would certainly not agree!!!
In order to eliminate demons and evil, countless monks die here every year.
Every year, the people would give half of the grain they worked so hard to grow to these aristocratic families, in the hope that they would be protected from evil spirits and disasters.
Therefore, no matter who it is, anyone who dares to collude with evil spirits will be shown no mercy once discovered.
The Fifth Elder was naturally aware of this, otherwise when Shen Ning'er took out the photo stone to threaten him, he would not have been helpless and could only accept Shen Ning'er's threat.
But he didn't expect that those evil spirits knew his identity... When he quietly went to open the city gate that night, not only did he deliberately disguise himself, but he also didn't say a word from beginning to end, let alone reveal his identity. How did those evil spirits know his identity?
Oh yes, it was Shen Ning'er. It was Shen Ning'er who revealed his identity... Didn't she promise to keep it a secret for him?
That little bitch!
Both of Shen Mingyu's daughters are bitches!
At this moment, the Fifth Elder not only wanted to cut Shen Ning'er into pieces, but also hated Shen Qiqi who exposed all this to the core, and wanted to eat her alive!
However, no matter how much he hated or was angry... he could only think about it in his heart.
He couldn't beat Shen Qiqi.
And the most important thing right now is not to hate or be angry with anyone, but to clear the suspicion on yourself and resolutely not be accused of colluding with evil spirits to harm the people.
Once the accusation is proven, the Shen family will not tolerate him, the hundreds of Xuanmen families will not keep him, and the people will beat him to death like a rat crossing the street!
Thinking of this, the Fifth Elder no longer cared about the excruciating pain in his body. With his face swollen like a pig's head, he hurriedly denied it, "I didn't do it. I didn't collude with the evil spirits. It was the Second Miss who wronged me... Second Miss, how did I offend you? Why are you harming me like this?"
Those evil spirits have been wiped out, and now there is no evidence to prove their wrongdoing. As long as Shen Ning'er doesn't stand up and testify against him, no one can produce evidence of his collusion with the evil spirits!
What he had to do now was to refuse to admit it and insist that Shen Qiqi was wrongly accusing him!
At this moment, the Fifth Elder no longer had his usual elegant demeanor. His hair was disheveled and his face was so swollen that it was unrecognizable.
Because he had just rolled down the stairs, his clothes were covered in dust and he looked extremely disheveled. If he didn't speak when walking on the street, no one would probably recognize him.
At this moment, he looked at Shen Qiqi with a mournful and sad expression: "In the past, you were young and ignorant. Every time you got into trouble and the patriarch wanted to punish you, it was Uncle Wu who rushed to the front to plead for you. It was also Uncle Wu who protected you despite the patriarch's scolding... Qiqi, Uncle Wu treated you well, why did you frame him like this!"
The fifth elder complained in a mournful voice, tears streaming down his face, as if he had really suffered some injustice.
Among the elders, the Fourth Elder was the most impulsive, but also the most naive and gullible. Seeing the Fifth Elder like this, he was a little shaken and whispered to Shen Qiqi: "Qiqi, could this be a misunderstanding? Your Fifth Uncle...he shouldn't be that kind of person."
Although the other elders did not express their opinions, their expressions showed some hesitation.
He was obviously moved by the Fifth Elder's words.
Or rather, they also hope that this is all a misunderstanding.
Unfortunately, they were destined to be disappointed.
Then Shen Qiqi took out an object, placed it in her palm, and brought it to the Fifth Elder. She asked in a deep voice, "Fifth Elder, do you know what this is?"
A round stone the size of a baby's fist lay in the girl's white palm.
The moment the Fifth Elder saw the round stone, his pupils suddenly shrank uncontrollably.
Of course he knew what it was!
That was a photo stone! It was a photo stone that recorded the inside story of his collaboration with Shen Ning'er!
But wasn't the photo stone in Shen Ning'er's hands? Why did it appear in the hands of that little bitch Shen Qiqi?!
The Fifth Elder was so frightened that his heart almost stopped. He instinctively shook his head and said, "What is this? I don't know...how would I know!"
"I don't know. It's okay. Let me tell you. This thing is called the Shadow Stone. Those evil spirits took the initiative to give it to me in order to die more quickly and with less torture. They said that Shen Ning'er gave it to them because you are the one who likes to destroy the bridge after crossing the river. Take this thing to prevent you from turning against us."
Shen Qiqi spoke slowly with a faint smile on her lips.
