moment,
A sense of fear, suppressed by blood ties, welled up in the hearts of all the clansmen present.
He lowered his head tremblingly.
The clan patriarch saw that the ancestor was so angry.
He hurriedly stepped forward.
He said reassuringly:
"Please calm down, Ancestor. We are all doing this for the prosperity of the Zhu family..."
"Since Zhu Qingguan's lineage is willing to sacrifice themselves in this matter, then let's continue as before and shift all the blame onto this lineage. As for the Ministry of Punishments, I suggest that it be given to Zhu Qingshi's lineage. What does the Ancestor think?"
The old ancestor glanced coldly at the crowd.
He spoke slowly, "There's no other way..."
An old saying
The countless crimes of the Zhu family are glossed over in a single sentence.
It's as if such a serious incident could be so easily dismissed...
The Zhu family patriarch suddenly looked at the Zhu family head:
"I don't care what method you use, the water of life must not be cut off."
The head of the Zhu family looked at his ancestor and gave a bitter smile:
"Ancestor..."
"Um?????"
Hearing the ancestor's threatening question,
The head of the Zhu family lowered his head, sweating profusely.
"I wouldn't dare..."
Then, the Zhu family patriarch said to the ancestor:
"Even if the people of the Dragon Kingdom suffer a little more, the next batch of the Water of Life will surely be delivered in full!!"
The Zhu family patriarch looked at Zhu Qingcheng:
"You must always remember my teachings!!"
Zhu Qingcheng understood perfectly and replied, "Be honest and upright in your conduct, and abide by the law! I will keep the teachings of our ancestors in mind!"
After speaking, the Zhu family patriarch nodded in satisfaction and comfortably reclined in the armchair.
Zhu Qingcheng said to the Zhu family patriarch:
"Ancestor, there's one more thing. I heard that Bai Xu and the others seem extremely angry this time, and they're supposedly coming to our Zhu family to demand an explanation..."
Upon hearing this,
The patriarch of the Zhu family couldn't help but smile:
"It would be troublesome if others came, but Bai Xu...?"
Subsequently,
He addressed the crowd present:
"When the time comes, everyone should act as pitiful as possible, be more proactive in admitting their mistakes, and push all the blame onto Zhu Tianhua. As for Bai Xu, he definitely won't kill anyone."
Upon hearing the words of the Zhu family patriarch,
The key figures in the Zhu family all smiled.
"Our ancestor was wise!!"
"Don't worry, Ancestor, I'll definitely make myself look even worse than when Xiaoqiang died!!"
"Hahaha, don't worry, Ancestor, I'm a professional at shedding tears!!!"
Amidst the laughter and joy filling the Zhu Family Ancestral Hall,
Their countless crimes were simply laughed off.
The blood-stained steamed bun was then divided and eaten by them...
Sudden,
A member of the Zhu family ran in, his face covered in blood.
He looked terrified and pointed outside the door.
He said in terror:
"Chieftain, there's... there's an old man chiseling a spell at the entrance..."
