A Cai's work: The Emperor's Phoenix: The Godly Doctor and the Abandoned Concubine ... Volume 1 1523 Sacrifice, give you a chance to atone for your sins
Feng Lixun, the son of the Great Elder, has come forward to surrender himself. Although he took all the blame on himself, it does not mean that Feng Qingchen will let others go.
One Feng Lixun is far from enough. She must clear up all the troubles this time. Only in this way can she leave with peace of mind and do her own thing wholeheartedly without worrying about the Fengli people stabbing her in the back.
The eldest elder's son, the third elder, the fourth elder, the sixth elder, and the seventh elder, Feng Qingchen was no longer angry when he saw these people standing up one by one.
The Seventh Elder was not involved in what happened back then. The Seventh Elder stood up because he was in collusion with the Beiling royal family, and this was something Feng Qingchen could not tolerate.
"Miss, I swear to God, I really did not reveal the whereabouts of my clansmen to the Beiling royal family. Please investigate carefully." The Seventh Elder's face was pale, but he did not look frightened. Instead, he looked as if he was ready to die.
If you don't want people to know, then don't do it. He did something wrong, so he has to bear the consequences.
"Grandpa, why are you doing this?" The sons of several elders did not dare to criticize their fathers, but their grandsons dared to do so.
These teenagers were irritated by their companions' contemptuous looks and could not accept it for a moment, so they asked their grandfather as a way to vent their anger.
Why would you betray your people and make them unable to hold their heads up in the tribe?
Several elders lowered their heads, not daring to face their grandchildren. When things broke out, they realized that their lofty image in the tribe and in the eyes of their grandchildren collapsed in an instant.
It would be a lie to say that they have no regrets. Take the third and fourth elders for example. They were not brave people to begin with. They were just bewitched by evil spirits back then and made one wrong step after another.
The Sixth Elder has been busy seizing power in recent years because he is afraid that what happened back then would be discovered. He wants to take the initiative and gain control of the Fengli Clan, but when he is about to succeed, Feng Qingchen appears at this time.
The Sixth Elder glanced at the Fifth Elder, a look that was filled with blame and dissatisfaction. If it weren't for the bastard Elder Five, how could he have ended up like this?
The fifth elder twitched his lips and laughed mockingly...
repentance?
These people have indeed become less timid in recent years, but so what? If you make a mistake you have to pay the price, and it is useless to just admit your mistakes.
Their branch originally existed to protect the royal family. These people were indeed not the main culprits. They just seized the opportunity and watched the War King die without rescuing him, allowing him to die tragically on the battlefield.
For this alone, they deserve to die ten thousand times.
If they had a little sense of responsibility, and cared a little for the War King, he wouldn't have died on the battlefield. But these people were blinded by their selfishness, and they deserved to end up like this.
The Fifth Elder did not sympathize with them at all. In fact, no one in the Fengli clan who knew about this matter could sympathize with these people.
Their king... was killed by these people.
"Murderers, you are the murderers who killed the king."
"You are sinners of the Fengli clan. The Fengli clan doesn't have people like you. You don't deserve the surname Fengli."
"Get out, get out... The Fengli Clan doesn't have people like you."
Several emotional elders stood up and spat at the Third Elder and his men: "You have brought shame to the Fengli Clan."
"Because of you, we are ashamed to face our ancestors."
"Expel them, Miss, you must expel them from the Fengli clan."
No matter how the tribesmen scolded them, the three elders and their companions did not dare to refute them, until someone mentioned the matter of expulsion, then they panicked.
"Miss, I am the only one who made the mistakes. It has nothing to do with my son and grandson. They know nothing about it. Miss, please... please let them go." Given the current situation of the Fengli clan, if they are expelled from the Fengli clan, they will only have one way to go, and that is death.
"Miss, our family is not guilty. We were bewitched by the devil. Please spare our family for the sake of our well-behaved behavior over the years." The fourth and seventh elders fell to the ground and begged non-stop.
"grandfather……"
"Father."
Their sons and grandsons burst into tears and knelt down, wanting to plead for their father and grandfather, but they could not open their mouths.
How can they plead for mercy for such a mistake? They are even ashamed to have such a father (grandfather).
Participating in the murder of the War King is tantamount to treason. Not to mention begging for mercy, they are not sure whether they can escape. Even if they escape, they will become the object of ridicule in the clan.
Father (Grandpa), when you were doing this, did you ever think about us? Did you ever think about how we should gain a foothold in the clan?
There was crying in the hall.
Only the Sixth Elder and his son were silent. The father and son looked at each other from a distance, and no one understood what they were thinking.
If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have done it in the first place!
Feng Qingchen sat there and just watched, watching everyone crying and holding their heads, with no intention of interrupting.
It was the Fifth Elder who saw that the situation was getting out of control and stood up to ask Feng Qingchen how to deal with these people.
As soon as the fifth elder finished speaking, everyone stopped crying and looked at Feng Qingchen expectantly. Even the four elders were no exception. Everyone is afraid of death, and they were afraid of death too.
Feng Qingchen was never merciful, but this was the first time she had pointed a knife at her own people. If she didn't feel sad, she would be lying. Looking at her people crying, Feng Qingchen's eyes were red, but she had to punish these people severely and never let them go.
If the cost of making a mistake is too low, then perhaps everyone will praise her for her tolerance at this time, but there is no guarantee that someone will not make the same mistake in the future. She just can't do that as well as punish future generations.
The Fengli people live in seclusion in the snow-capped mountains and rarely come into contact with outsiders. Many of them will never get married in their entire lives. For example, Feng Liyou is old enough to be her father, but he has not yet married.
Children born to married couples are more likely to die young. It is not easy to raise a child in the Fengli tribe. It would be a pity if the child died just like that.
Feng Qingchen exhaled, and in the expectation of everyone, Feng Qingchen stood up and said: "The crime of plotting to murder King Fengli should be punished. Although you are not the main culprit, you are accomplices, and you cannot escape the death penalty. Considering that you have sincerely repented over the years, the crime will not be spared for your children."
After a moment of silence, the eldest elder's son Feng Lixun was the first to speak: "Thank you, Miss."
Although the others knew they were doomed to die, they couldn't help but feel sad after hearing it with their own ears. The Seventh Elder looked up at Feng Qingchen, opened his mouth, but in the end said nothing.
He did not harm the War King. He wanted to say that he was not the only one in contact with the royal families of the four countries. Feng Qingchen himself was with the Ninth Prince of Dongling, but...
Dongling did not send troops to attack the Fengli clan. The Ninth Prince of Dongling was at odds with the Emperor of Dongling. When Feng Qingchen was with him, the clan members would not say anything at all. They would even admire Feng Qingchen for being able to persuade the Prince of Dongling to help them.
"We accept the punishment." The seventh elder uttered these words weakly, and the other three elders also admitted their crimes one by one. Their sons and grandsons cried even harder.
What does it matter if they survive? They will always bear the shame of being the descendants of traitors, and they will never have a future. After escaping this time, there will be no place for them to survive in the tribe.
What will they do in the future?
