Chapter 4 - Punishment
Brian walked into the council hall, sweat on his forehead and panic written on his face, apparently he had just felt a little bad about Prince Crito's eloquent communication, and hurried to the council hall, his heart chilled with the sympathetic or mocking gazes of many Celtic executives.

Brian asked tremblingly, "I don't know, I don't know what the head of the family is looking for me?" ”
Prince Crito had a gloomy face and asked coldly, "There was a big event in the city just now, have you heard of it?" ”
Brian was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Report to the family master, just now I was playing in the suburbs with a few companions, and I didn't hear anything big about what happened in the city. ”
Prince Crito snorted coldly and said, "Play? Hum! Well, then let me tell you, just now Master Chen's disciple Jiang Xiu was assassinated by a killer in Valhalla City and almost died! ”
"What! Jiang Xiu almost died!? Brian's face subconsciously showed a hint of joy, and then he realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly changed his words, "Is he okay now?" ”
The Celtic executives present were all human spirits, and when they saw Brian's shocked expression at this moment and a hint of joy at the beginning, they knew that Brian was definitely not behind the scenes, otherwise this kid's acting skills would be too realistic.
Prince Crito secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, no matter what Brian thought, as long as this assassination was not ordered by him, there was still room for redemption. Although he had a bottom in his heart, Prince Crito's face was still as cold as ice, and he said in a calm tone: "Then do you know who assassinated Jiang Xiu?" ”
Brian's face showed a hint of confusion and said, "I don't know. ”
"It's Eli!" Prince Crito said.
"What! Is it Islay? How can it be? Brian was shocked, and then as if he realized something, he hurriedly said, "The master of the house, it's not me!" It wasn't Jiang Xiu who I asked him to assassinate, you have to believe me! It's really not me! ”
"Humph!" Prince Crito snorted coldly, "Then tell me why your personal guards ran over to assassinate Jiang Xiu?" It wasn't your order, or was it someone else's order? ”
"Someone else's instigated...... Right! It must have been instructed by someone else! At the critical moment, Brian was not stupid, knowing that if he was convicted of instructing someone to assassinate the disciples of the Great Grandmaster, he would definitely not be able to eat and walk around, so he hurriedly followed the meaning of Prince Crito's words and climbed up, "I have long seen that Alley's thief, it's not a good thing, he must have accepted other people's benefits to frame me!" Master of the house, you have to make decisions for me! ”
"If it is really you who instigated it, I will definitely deal with it seriously," Prince Crito said in a calm tone, "But if Ailay was bribed and deliberately framed you, this king will definitely find out the truth and punish you severely!" ”
As he spoke, Prince Crito glanced at a few Celtic executives present who were not dealing with the Crito family, and the meaning in his eyes was self-evident.
Several Celtic high-ranking people saw Prince Crito's threatening gaze, and immediately became angry, and were about to sneer at each other, when suddenly, a cough came, and everyone looked at Prince Toventden, who was sitting in the first place with his eyes closed and staring for a long time.
"That's it!" Prince Toventden frowned, a sense of evil overflowed, and everyone present who was about to have a seizure suddenly stopped talking, Prince Toventden slowly turned his head, looked at Brian, and said coldly: "Brian, this king asks you a few questions, when did Islay leave you?" ”
As soon as Brian saw this legendary figure interrogating him personally, his heart suddenly felt like a drum hammer, and he didn't dare to look at him at all, crying and mourning, and replied tremblingly: "Prince Hui, I don't know very well when Islay left me, he usually protects me in the dark, and I rarely contact him, so I don't know where he is or when he left." ”
Prince Toventden squinted: "And when was the last time you saw him?" ”
"The night before yesterday," Brian said without thinking.
"Why did you meet?" Toventden asked.
"He came to tell me the news that Jiang Xiu was about to go to Guangfuxing today." Brian was stunned for a moment, then said.
"Jiang Xiu?" Teventden's brows furrowed again, obviously Jiang Xiu was a sensitive word, "What did you say to him?" ”
"I'm ......" Brian hesitated, apparently he hadn't said anything nice the night before.
"Humph!" Prince Teventden snorted coldly, "Then have you noticed anything unusual about him, or have you been in contact with any strange people?" ”
Brian thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "Most of the time he is in contact with me alone, and other times I don't see his people, usually he comes out when he takes the initiative to find me or I call him, and the others don't even know that I have a personal guard to protect me, usually he will only appear when my life is in danger." ”
Prince Toventden was silent for a moment, and then said slowly: "Although the current evidence shows that you are not suspected of instigating people to commit crimes, you also have the responsibility of unfavorable supervision of your subordinates, and because of the great impact of the incident, you will be punished for cleaning the hall in Valhalla for one year, and you will not be allowed to leave Valhalla during this period, do you agree?" ”
Brian grimaced and said, "I agree. ”
Prince Toventden nodded: "Once it is found out that this incident has anything to do with you in the future, this king will hand you over to Master Chen to deal with, you can do it yourself." Step aside. ”
"Yes." Brian turned to leave, and the moment he turned around, Prince Teventden saw a flash of resentment on his face, and then quickly disappeared, and his figure disappeared outside the door of the council hall.
Prince Teventden sneered, not caring about it, just as humans don't care about the resentment of ants.
"Prince Crito, I will ask your people to hand over Islay's information to the king's mansion, and the king will personally supervise this matter." Prince Toventden did not care about Prince Crito's face in the slightest, and his tone revealed sternness.
"Got it." Prince Crito had a black face.
"Dikia, characterize today's incident as an A-class incident, use the forces of all parties in Valhalla to find the traces of the killer, and give you a week to find the killer, you know?"
"Yes, Prince Teventden." Dikia, Lord of Valhalla, replied cleanly.
"Adjournment!" With that, Prince Teventden stood up and left.
Only the rest of the people in the chamber were still talking.
……
Jiang Xiu returned to the hotel where he was staying, and the thoughts in his head were gradually sorted out, just now an official from Heroic Spirit City came to the hotel to find him in person and inform him of the true identity of the killer.
To be honest, although the killer was Brian's man, Jiang Xiu didn't think that Brian would instigate someone to assassinate him, although all this seemed very reasonable - Brian resented Jiang Xiu for cutting his face repeatedly, so he wanted to take his life, he miscalculated Jiang Xiu's actual strength, so he only sent a fifth-order star master, but he was unexpectedly killed by Jiang Xiu, so he left fatal evidence for this foolproof plan - this killer is his personal bodyguard!
But in fact, if Brian wants to make a move, why does he have to choose a place that is so easy to arouse suspicion in Valhalla, and with Brian's economic strength, he is fully capable of hiring a powerful killer organization to assassinate Jiang Xiu, and the killer organization will never expose Brian's identity, so even if others suspect it, there is no evidence to prove that Brian did it.
As the second in line to the throne of a big family with a long history, Jiang Xiu didn't believe that Brian didn't even have this brain, so someone else should have assassinated him.
In this way, if you think about it carefully, Jiang Xiu has actually encountered a similar technique before, it is from the hand of the mysterious organization, when the mysterious organization instructed the leader of the red-bearded group to rob and kill his own starship, Jiang Xiu also suspected that the mastermind behind the scenes was Brian, but it was not until the huge organization was dug out from behind that Jiang Xiu knew that he had misunderstood Brian.
Obviously, the mysterious organization's understanding of Jiang Xiu's intelligence is far more detailed than that of the outside world, if this assassination is still from their handiwork, then the ultimate goal is definitely not to kill Jiang Xiu, but they want to capture Jiang Xiu alive, their purpose should be to make Jiang Xiu and the Crito family completely break up!
If you think about it this way, this is indeed a good move, it is a good conspiracy, although Jiang Xiu and the Crito family both know that this is a misunderstanding, but no matter what, the Crito family lost face in this incident, and Jiang Xiu was almost killed by the Crito family in this incident, plus the relationship between the two sides was already very tense before, this time the incident was like a fuse, completely intensifying the contradictions between the two sides, and now both sides will not give up because of this.
This can be seen from the fact that the Crito family has not sent anyone to explain this matter until now, in order to maintain the face of an ancient family, the head of the family can even give up many immediate benefits for this, and they are even willing to pay the price regardless of the cost, unless you have the capital to make them compromise, obviously, Jiang Xiu has not yet!
And according to Jiang Xiu's character, he will definitely not choose to take the initiative to compromise, so this time, he can be regarded as completely torn with the Crito family.
The mysterious organization made a good move.
A glimmer of light flashed in Jiang Xiu's eyes, and the corners of his mouth gradually hooked up a sneer.
Yes, the mysterious organization did succeed in making this incident work according to their script, but Jiang Xiu would let them understand that they were not pawns at their disposal, they had plotted against themselves so many times, and they should be ready to withstand their own counterattack!
……
The Crito family is located in the north of Valhalla, is a large manor with a radius of more than ten miles, the decoration is simple but revealing the luxury, elegant but not without losing style, here are inhabited by the elders of the Crito family has been old, as well as the family elders who control half of the power of the Crito family, the younger generations of the family will come here every once in a while to visit the ancestors of the family, in order to show respect.
During this time, Brian happened to come to his house to visit his elders, and his life was very light and depressing, and he had already planned to leave this ghost place tomorrow, but he didn't expect a catastrophe to fall from the sky, Brian couldn't leave Valhalla in the next year, and he had to disturb Valhalla for a year, which was almost a fatal insult to Brian, who had loved face since he was a child.
To know. Every Celtic who returns to Valhalla to visit their elders will go to Valhalla to incense the Heroic Spirits of the past generations, and he will appear in front of these peers of the Nine Celtic royal families as a staff member in Valhalla in the coming year to serve them, I believe that it will not be long before he Brian will be the laughing stock of the whole Celtic clan in the mouths of the clansmen! How could Brian, who had been thinking highly of himself since he was a child, stand it, and he was ashamed to death when he thought of it.
Of course, before cleaning Valhalla, he had to deal with the scene in front of him - at this moment, Prince Crito was sitting on the throne with a gloomy face, looking coldly at Brian who was standing beside him, without saying a word, and the atmosphere in the air seemed to have fallen to freezing.
After a while, Prince Crito said coldly: "Idiot! You have disgraced your family! ”
Brian didn't dare to say a word, and lowered his head tremblingly.
Prince Crito continued: "To tell you the truth, if you were not the son of this king, I would have wanted to depose you!" None of his own subordinates are capable of managing it! What else do you have to do? ”
"I'm sorry, master!" Brian said in a trembling voice.
"Hmph, it's not good to provoke anyone, to provoke the disciples of the new great grandmaster, it's just a matter of being humiliated by him again and again, this time you actually let the family shame you, your subordinates actually started a killer in Valhalla City, how do you let this king explain to the Elders?"
"Jiang Xiu!" Brian suddenly raised his head and said hatefully, "Family Master, if it weren't for that Jiang Xiu, the family wouldn't have been ashamed of it, he provoked people himself, but let us also bear the price!" This revenge must be avenged! ”
"Revenge?" Prince Crito snorted coldly, "What do you take revenge for?" Do you want me to give you a personal guard and ask you to instruct him to assassinate Jiang Xiu again? ”
Brian choked, and then said unwillingly: "Are we just going to forget it?" ”
"Forget it?" Prince Crito smiled coldly, "How is it possible, there has never been a person who can make the family live freely without paying any price after being disgraced!" ”
"So, what are you going to do?" Brian was stunned for a moment, and then a look of joy appeared on his face.
"Humph!" Prince Crito snorted coldly, "This king has his own plans!" In this year, you first took it to me in Valhalla, I was really impetuous all day long, and I caused trouble for this king, why can't you learn from your brother? ”
There was a hint of resentment in Brian's eyes, but he quickly faded away and whispered, "I know I'm wrong. (To be continued.) )
