"Bring out those disobedient old geezers."
The purple-robed saintess said indifferently.
After saying that, two men in black entered the side hall and brought out four people who were tied up.
The elders of the Han family paled, their pupils contracted sharply, and they were filled with utter horror.
These four people are the current leaders of the Han family.
They are Han Wei, Han Tiande, Han Tianlin, and Han Tianlei.
Especially Han Wei, who is the current head of the Han family, and Han Tiande, who is the father of the eldest son Han Yijian and the eldest daughter Han Huaiwei.
Since the Han family's prodigies left the forbidden ancestral land, no one has seen them again.
Wasn't it rumored that he went into seclusion?
But who would have thought that he would appear in the Han family's council hall today, tied up and looking utterly disheveled.
Han Wei, Han Tiande, and several other high-ranking officials were all bound hand and foot, their faces filled with fear and despair. They had clearly been tortured to the point of near death.
"Master!"
"Gentlemen, what's going on here!"
Upon seeing their arrival, the elders of the Han family were all shocked and pale.
"Young Master, Her Highness the Holy Maiden, what's going on!"
The Han family members had complicated expressions. Although they didn't know the reason, they sensed that something was wrong.
"What happened?"
Han Yijian's face flashed with a cold killing intent as he said in a deep voice, "Naturally, it's because they refuse to cooperate."
These words caused an uproar among the crowd.
"May I ask, young master and holy maiden, what is the meaning of this? What exactly do you want?"
An elderly man, dressed in a bright yellow robe, with silver hair and a wrinkled face, stepped forward, leaning on a cane, and said in a deep voice.
This person is an elder of the Han family's Enforcement Hall, and also the enforcer of the Han family's rules and regulations. He is the most senior member of the Han family.
According to the Han family rules, if a member of the family makes a mistake, the matter must be handled by the law enforcement elder.
"I want the key to the Han family's treasure vault and all the resources the Han family has accumulated over the past ten thousand years, but they refuse. I have no choice but to use some special methods."
Han Yijian remained calm and said nothing.
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed drastically, and Han Wei and several other high-ranking officials turned deathly pale, filled with fear and unease.
"Her Highness has returned from the ancestral lands, so it's understandable that she wants resources. But aren't these methods a bit too ruthless?"
The elder of the Enforcement Hall had a gloomy face and spoke with a stern tone, "Young Master, they are your grandfather, your father, and your uncle! How could you do this! Young Master, ever since you left the ancestral land that day, you have become less and less like the old you. May I ask, Young Master, are you still yourself?"
The Han family members were taken aback upon hearing this, and then looked puzzled.
Han Yijian has changed a lot. He has become violent, eccentric, and unpredictable, which is completely different from the Han Yijian he used to be.
"Old man, are you questioning me?"
Han Yijian's eyes narrowed, and he shouted sharply, "Who do you think you are, daring to criticize me? What right do you have?"
The purple-robed saintess said calmly, "Are you planning to interfere?"
The elder of the Enforcement Hall, with a solemn expression, said neither servilely nor arrogantly, "I simply want the young master to understand that this is the Han family, and you are the young master of the Han family!!"
"Hehe, what a clear understanding!"
Han Yijian's lips curled into a chilling smile: "Since you know I am the eldest young master of the Han family, you still dare to openly defy me?"
The elder of the Enforcement Hall said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "In my conduct, Han Zhen is only loyal to the Han family. I have no selfish motives whatsoever, nor have I ever overstepped my bounds."
"My actions today were merely to uphold the Han family rules and handle matters impartially. I dare to ask, young master, who exactly are you!"
