Chapter 484: The Jun Family is Gone
When Elder Zhong heard what Jun Wuce said, he looked up with gratitude, but met those eyes without any emotion.
His heart skipped a beat and he thought to himself that it was not good.
Sure enough, his premonition was right.
Jun Wuce said with thin lips: "During this period, I heard that your son, Elder Zhong, is quite capable. It just so happens that the Jun family is in need of people now. I don't mind promoting him and giving him a chance to let him enter the family."
This sounded good.
It didn't feel like a threat.
However, Elder Zhong had known Jun Wuce for so many years and had seen some of his methods.
The other party was threatening him with his son's life.
If you don't hand over a million taels of silver, I'll pay with his son's life
Zhong Lao's eyes suddenly turned red, and he lost all his strength. He knelt on the ground, paralyzed.
His heart was filled with countless regrets, and his eyes were even more cloudy.
Although they did not participate in that incident and actively persecute Jun Wuce, they were also a bystander when Jun Wuce and his mother got into trouble.
The three elders who were good to Jun Wuce and helped him speak all died during the years when Jun Wuce was away, and two of them were still his good friends.
He did not persecute them directly, but he did not help them either. Now Jun Wuce only wanted the silver in his hand, and did not intend to take their lives. He was very kind.
Zhong Lao closed his eyes, and a trace of tears appeared in his eyes.
He hated himself for being timid and trying his best to cut off ties with those friends who had been sincere to him. Now, he finally got retribution.
Fortunately, he was not the only one who suffered retribution.
The other elders could not escape one by one.
Thinking of this, Zhong Lao was not so uncomfortable in his heart.
He was considered to be the richest among these elders. As long as the whole family tightened their belts, they could come up with the one million taels of silver.
"I understand, Third Master, don't worry. After all, this is a gift from your disciple. As the elders, we should give..."
Seeing that the oldest, Elder Zhong, bowed his head, the others nodded frantically with lingering fear.
Jun Wu Ce smiled and said with a faint look in his eyes: "Then the elders should send someone to pass the order. Send all the silver here within a month. Whoever sends it faster can leave early. Otherwise..." Jun Wu Ce
didn't say the rest.
But everyone understood in their hearts.
Otherwise, they will never be able to leave here in this life.
Let the younger generation in their family come with one million taels to redeem the person.
It's not that Jun Wu Ce didn't want to kill all the elders who were tied up, but he thought it was unnecessary. Killing two of them as a warning to others would make them obedient.
These old guys who won't live for many years won't bring him much benefit even if they die. It's better to exchange their heads for silver, so as to maximize the benefits.
The others also promised that they would find a way to let their younger generations send the silver.
Jun Wu Ce ordered all the disciples guarding the door to come in and send all the elders to the backyard room. In order to ensure that nothing would happen to them, they were all placed in one yard and looked after together.
In fact, it was house arrest.
Jun Xingtian saw that all the elders were taken away, even those who had not shown up at the beginning. He asked Jun Wuce in confusion.
"Third brother, Elder Zhong and the others have not caused any harm to you, nor have they committed any serious crime that deserves death. Why do you have to make things difficult for them? Moreover, after you came back, these people also supported you very much and obeyed your orders."
Jun Wuce was a little puzzled. The color in his eyes was bottomless, hiding the storm that was raging continuously.
"Then do you know why they obey my orders?"
Jun Xingtian's lips moved, "Because..."
"Because they are afraid of me and afraid that I will kill them all. After all, if a master who is hard to figure out wants to kill someone, there will always be a chance. For the sake of their own lives, they dare not disobey my orders. If I lost to those people in the Jun family when I came back, and became a sinner who killed my brother and father, do you think they would still listen to my orders?"
Jun Xingtian couldn't say a word.
The reason why Jun Wuce would explain to him seriously and let his second brother, who was not born from the same mother, be the elder brother was just because when he was young and was punished by his mother, he was the only one who would secretly send him some food and treat him better.
But he was very young at that time, and he was a very cowardly person. He could only do so much, and anything more would not help him.
He liked to read, and he did not want to get involved in the fight for the position of head of the family. Besides, he had an older brother with a strong personality. Unless a pie dropped from the sky,
the position of head of the family would never fall on him. But now, he still did some things wrong, and Jun Wuce was not very satisfied with the position of head of the family.
He had thought about forming an alliance with Nanqi before, but in today's world, aristocratic families have to rely on the country to develop.
The plan to surrender to Beiling was only recently decided, but he really did not want the Jun family to suffer too much loss. Even though he made enough gestures, he still had some small calculations in his heart, and he was not completely convinced by Beiling.
It was not until his third brother came forward in person to send the Jun family to Beiling that he realized his previous choice, which probably displeased his third brother.
The Jun family originally belonged to him, so he could do whatever he wanted.
Jun Xingtian sighed.
"As long as we can keep their lives, if the money is not enough, they will make up for me. I hope my third brother can show mercy when the time comes."
Jun Wuce looked at Jun Xingtian deeply.
There was no murderous intent in his eyes, but there was no extra emotion either.
"Second brother, from now on, there will be no Jun family."
Jun Xingtian's body trembled slightly.
He seemed to understand what Jun Wuce meant.
Jun Xingtian didn't look back, and walked out with his back to Jun Wuce. He was already middle-aged, and he seemed to have aged many years in an instant. There was a sense of aging in his voice.
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
The head of the Jiang family saw that the elders of the Jun family were detained and the head of the Jun family had left.
He felt uneasy for a while. The expression on his face was a little stiff, and he forced a smile and said, "Master Jun San, I still have some trivial matters at home, so I won't bother you for now. Bye."
Jun Wuce seemed to have just noticed him.
Seeing that he stood up and was about to leave, he stopped him as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Head of the Jiang family, don't be in a hurry to leave."
