Chapter 688: Surrender

It rained during the day, and at night, there was a hint of coolness in the wind.

Among the high-ranking people in the Red Copper City who had gathered together, some people could even feel a sense of desolation that was completely different from the season from this slight coolness.

The summer wind that brings growth to all things, however, because of the influence of their state of mind, was regarded by them as the autumn wind that makes all things wither, which shows the uneasiness in their hearts.

But this uneasiness is not without reason. As long as the officials have been with the fourth generation of ancestors of witches for a day, which one would not be in this state of mind?

"As for me, there is no need to be too scared. The fourth generation of ancestors of witches are all in high spirits today. At the banquet in the evening, they even had a drink with us. I think..."

An official stood up and wanted to comfort everyone, but he was interrupted by the city lord who was in the lead when he was halfway through his words.

"What's the point of talking about these things? The temper of the fourth generation ancestor witch has never been seen in books. You should think about how to confess it."

When he said this, many people couldn't help but shudder. They were scared.

Although the fourth generation ancestor witch's reputation is not as terrible as the fifth generation ancestor witch, who taught the fifth generation ancestor witch?

He is the student of the fourth generation ancestor witch.

The fourth generation ancestor witch has no reputation for being evil, but only wise. That's because the fourth generation ancestor witch is powerful, but this does not mean that the fourth generation ancestor witch is not evil.

Since the fourth generation ancestor witch left the capital, look at what Xi'an City and Longcheng have become.

The two totems immediately launched a large-scale rectification movement, strictly enforced the laws, and rectified the customs. They just wrote on the city gate: The fourth generation ancestor witch is coming, and the chicken, the dog, and the thief will disappear.

They were managed by two gods, and they were the earliest totems that appeared in the same era as the fourth generation ancestor witches.

Their reactions showed the ability of the fourth generation ancestor witches. How could such a fourth generation ancestor witch not make them nervous?

"But everything was done well, how did the fourth generation ancestor witch find out?"

Finally, an official couldn't help but sigh and ask, but no one could answer this question.

Although no one answered, everyone agreed that the fourth generation ancestor witch had discovered their secret.

It is said that if there is a secret, the fourth generation ancestor witch will not tell it after peeping, but will only smile, and the more he finds the source of the secret, the happier he will smile.

At this time, those who are sensible and perceptive should take the initiative to admit their mistakes.

The sooner you admit your mistakes, the lighter the crime will be. If you know your mistakes and refuse to change them, and want to continue to cover up, then the crime will be aggravated, and you may even be beheaded and have your property confiscated.

If you anger the fourth generation of the ancestor witch in the end, whether it is the three tribes, the four tribes, the five tribes... or the nine tribes, it depends on the mood of the fourth generation of the ancestor witch.

"I'll go and tell it."

The city lord Zhu Tong stamped his feet, turned around and prepared to walk out of the secret room and go directly to the fourth generation of the ancestor witch to tell the truth.

"Wait."

Someone called him and thought, "How about I take him away first and escape from here?"

"Hiss..."

This scared everyone in the room and gasped. Then someone immediately stepped forward and grabbed the official's clothes, and then more and more people grabbed him.

These people grabbed him, obviously not wanting him to do it. If he really succeeded, these people would probably be prepared to be exterminated.

"Idiot."

Zhu Tong shouted angrily, staring at him and asked, "Why did things come to this? We are not treasonous, but... we are just a little selfish." When

these words were spoken, they were recognized by many people. Most of the officials present nodded in agreement, as if this would reduce their sins.

"Go and talk to the fourth generation of ancestors. We can't wait any longer."

Some officials urged, obviously they were very nervous and didn't want to wait any longer.

Others followed suit and expressed their opinions. They all agreed with Zhu Tong's plan and even wanted to go with him.

"Knock, knock, knock."

There was a sudden knock on the door, and the secret room suddenly became silent.

The hand that was pulling the person didn't dare to use force, and the nodding action also stopped.

Zhu Tong looked at the door of the secret room in surprise, paused for a moment and asked tremblingly: "Who?"

"Master, it's me."

Hearing the voice of the housekeeper, Zhu Tong breathed a sigh of relief.

"What's wrong?"

Zhu Tong asked dissatisfiedly.

"Just now, the fourth generation ancestor witch sent a message saying that he was a little tired. If you have something to do today, you don't have to see him. No matter what it is, wait until tomorrow."

"Hiss..."

The housekeeper's words once again made everyone gasp, and many people sat on the ground trembling, their eyes became empty.

Zhu Tong stabilized his emotions and said in a deep voice: "I know, you can leave."

The footsteps gradually faded away, but no one spoke in the secret room for a long time.

"At the beginning, I told you to report it directly, but you didn't listen and insisted that it was a conflict with the God of Gold. Now, I think we will all die, all of us will die."

The official who spoke sat on the ground, pounding his hands on the ground, and said with tears in his eyes.

"What's the point of saying this now? You didn't object at the beginning, why are you afraid now?"

There were also bold people who scolded angrily.

"I was just bewitched and listened to you, saying that Taichu was not here and the God of Gold was stupid. It can be done, it can be done. Let's see how it will work this time."

Another collapsed person sat on the ground and said.

"This idea was not yours? Saying this at this time..."

"Okay."

Zhu Tong scolded and made everyone quiet down. Everyone looked at him again, as if they had found their backbone.

"What we did was wrong, but in essence, it was a little out of line. At worst, we can die to atone for our sins. What are you yelling about?"

Zhu Tong's words made everyone feel better. At least they felt that it was not a disaster of confiscating property and destroying the clan.

"Tomorrow morning, everyone will go to see the fourth generation ancestor witch. We have explained this matter."

Zhu Tong said, and then he opened the door and prepared to let everyone go.

"Wait a minute."

The official sitting on the ground got up, rolled his eyes and said, "Why don't we kneel at the door of the city lord's mansion now, which can be regarded as sincere."

This proposal caused a lot of discussion among the people, and in the end, everyone passed it, and Zhu Tong did not object.

So the group came to the door of the city lord's mansion and knelt down in order according to their rank.

The guards of the City Lord's Mansion naturally didn't understand, but seeing that these officials all lowered their heads and didn't want to talk, they didn't dare to ask, so they could only go in and report the news. When

the fourth generation ancestor witch received the news, his smile became even brighter, and he said, "This trick is still so effective."

The God of Gold next to him asked in confusion what trick it was, and the fourth generation ancestor witch just waved his hands and didn't explain.

The trick that the fourth generation ancestor witch was talking about was the kingly and hegemonic learning with psychological suggestion as the core that was taught to him by the Fifth Xuan when he was a child.

At that time, the Fifth Xuan was still a little bit immature, so he liked to use the description of kingly and hegemonic.

If he were to say it now, he would probably say that it was just a combination of psychological suggestion and behavioral habits.

This kind of thing is very simple to say, that is, before a thing is clear, put on an attitude of knowing everything in order to stimulate the mentality of the people below, so that they will collapse and expose the problem.

After one or two times, this impression and behavior habit will be deepened, and others will form habitual thinking.

At that time, as long as you show this attitude, the people below will be afraid, thinking that you have seen their secrets, but you don't know.

Just like this time, the fourth generation of ancestor witches did see the problem, but he didn't know the specific problem before investigating in depth.

But he didn't want to investigate in depth, didn't want to waste time, and didn't want to make the Red Copper City a mess, so he played with people's hearts directly.

In recent years, the biographies of the ancestors of the past generations have been published for several editions, and he also recorded this method that he had tried and failed in the past in the book early on. It is estimated that these executives have read it.

According to the book, the fourth generation of ancestor witches must laugh every time they gain something, and the more they gain, the happier they laugh.

When you are extremely happy, the truth will be revealed.

Generally speaking, these statements are just to scare people, but with the status and prestige of the fourth generation ancestor witch, it is indeed accurate.

Now those people are kneeling outside, but the fourth generation ancestor witch is not in a hurry to meet them. He still wants to persevere with these guys.

This is like persuading an eagle. If you don't persevere, it will not be well behaved.

A group of officials knelt in front of the door and spent the night in anxiety.

This night, their minds turned a lot, from anxiety to peace, and from peace to fear, until the sun came out, they had a feeling of rebirth in a trance.

There was no day that made them feel that the rising sun was so beautiful.

"City Lord, all the officers, the Four Generations Ancestral Witch invites you in."

Shortly after the sun was born, guards came out and invited everyone in.

After kneeling all night, someone knelt down again when he got up, but no one helped him up. The guards were also discerning and knew that it was better not to get too close at this time.

Walking into the familiar City Lord's Mansion in the morning dew, especially Zhu Tong, who was the owner here a day ago, and now his family still lives here.

But he just felt that this place was very strange.

"The guilty official, Zhu Tong pays homage to the Four Generations Ancestral Witch."

"The guilty official pays homage to the Four Generations Ancestral Witch."

Led by Zhu Tong, all the officials knelt on the ground and kowtowed. There was still no worship in their eyes, but regret and fear.

"Zhu Tong, tell me where you went wrong."

The fourth generation ancestor witch didn't ask them to stand up, but just let them keep kneeling and said.

"We shouldn't...shouldn't hide the craftsman totem, and we shouldn't try to let the craftsman totem replace the God of Gold."

A muffled voice came from the kneeling Zhu Tong's mouth, and the fourth generation ancestor witch heard a flash of surprise on his face.

He really didn't expect that these guys would be so bold.

The God of Gold, although a little stupid, is also a god-level. Just find a totem and want to replace him?

And, what is the craftsman totem?

The fourth generation ancestor witch pondered, turned his head and looked at the God of Gold, thinking that this is your territory, such a big thing, you must know, right?

As a result, the God of Gold looked even more surprised than the Fourth Ancestral Shaman. His iron eyes were wide open, and his big red copper eyeballs stared at the group of people kneeling below.

"Craftsman Totem, do you know?"

The Fourth Ancestral Shaman asked, thinking about going forward to lift his chin and let him put away his surprised expression.

"I know, my friend."

When asked by the Fourth Ancestral Shaman, the God of Gold became lively and patted his chest and said.
