"Great Elder, I know that you are worried about the damage to the strength of the family, but he disregarded the love of brothers, persecuted my wife and children, and even sent people to assassinate Yu Tian'er several times, I didn't know before, it was because I didn't fulfill my responsibility, but now I know, if I don't ask again, Tian'er will call me father in the future, do I still have the face to agree?"

Long Hongfei no longer had the unpredictable face of the Great Elder, and looked at Long Xingcheng and said: "Although I really can't show evidence for what Long Yilin said, but the embezzlement of family money amounting to hundreds of thousands of gold coins and the killing of Tian'er are all well documented and testified, and you can't rely on these things." ”

Long Xingcheng didn't speak, just stood there with a gloomy face, looking at Long Hongfei with a resentful expression.

"Since you are acquiescing, then do it according to the family rules......" Before Long Hongfei finished speaking, the Great Elder interjected: "I suggest that Long Xing be removed from the position of elder, in addition, since there are still many things that have not been clarified, he will be locked up in the backyard first, and then punished when everything is clear." ”

When everyone heard this, they were all stunned, but soon they understood what Long Yuxiang meant, it turned out that he still didn't want Long Hongfei to execute Long Xingcheng, although now the evidence was in front of him, but he still wanted to protect Long Yuxiang's life.

"I agree with the Great Elder. The third elder also stood up and said in a deep voice: "After other matters are clarified, we will punish you." ”

"I agree. ”

"I agree. ”

The fifth elder and the fourth elder all stood up and agreed, in fact, the clan rules committed by Long Xingcheng were already a capital crime, and it had nothing to do with whether other things were investigated or not, but in order to protect Long Xingcheng's life, everyone could only find this excuse.

They can't explicitly say that they want to avoid Long Xingcheng's death, because the family has family rules, even if they are elders, they can't violate them, of course, the rules are dead, but people are alive, and there is always a way.

"I disagree. Long Hongfei made it clear this time that he didn't plan to let Long Xingcheng go, and regardless of everyone's opposition, he said majestically: "Although Long Xingcheng still has many things that have not been investigated, the assassination of Tian'er alone is enough to be executed, and there is no need to investigate other things." ”

"There are so many things that happened during the management of the family by the second elder, and I, the great elder, did not supervise effectively, and asked the head of the family to punish him. The Great Elder suddenly said in a deep voice.

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces changed greatly, and even Long Xingcheng didn't expect that the Great Elder would not hesitate to threaten Long Hongfei with his own identity in order to protect him.

Long Hongfei's face was also difficult to look at, the prestige of the Great Elder in the family was extremely high, and it was impossible to punish him, and at this time, the Third Elder, the Fourth Elder, and the Fifth Elder glanced at each other, and all said to Long Hongfei: "The head of the family, the Great Elder has been in retreat, and we are managing the affairs of the family. ”

With a gloomy face, Long Hongfei looked at the four elders and punished all the elders, it was simply impossible, but if he didn't punish Long Xingcheng, he would be unwilling.

After a long time, Long Hongfei said coldly: "Okay, then put Long Xingcheng and Long Nanfeng in the backyard, and as for the others, they will be punished after the matter is completely clarified." ”

After speaking, Long Hongfei turned around angrily and walked out of the door.

Long Feitian ran out with Long Hongfei and said angrily: "Father, is this matter just over?"

"Those old guys are protecting him, and that's all they can do for the time being. Long Hongfei sighed and said helplessly: "Come step by step, first remove his position as an elder, he has no power, let's start slowly." ”

"Just imprisoning him in the backyard, it's so cheap for him. Long Feitian said angrily: "According to what I said, since they voluntarily pleaded guilty, they removed all their names as elders, I want to see what they do?"

Long Feitian knew that the backyard was simply the place where the retired elders in the family took care of their retirement, and the conditions were even better than the front yard, and the great elder imprisoned Long Xingcheng there, so there was no intention of punishment at all.

"Hehe......" Long Hongfei couldn't help but smile and said: "It's really relieving to do this, but that's impossible, although the elders will sometimes really have an impact on the development of the family, but they are still very effective in checking and balancing some of the wrong decisions made by the head of the family, so the elders can't be removed, this is a tradition on the mainland, and it is also the need for the development of the family." ”

Although Long Feitian didn't think so, he didn't object, so he sighed helplessly: "Okay, then let's take it step by step, remove him from the position of elder today, let him have no power, and it will be much easier to clean it up again." ”

"Not really. Long Hongfei suddenly shook his head and said, "Although the Great Elder protects Long Xingcheng, it seems that they are trying to avoid the weakening of the family's strength, but in fact, they are doing this to resist me. ”

Seeing the confusion on Long Feitian's face, Long Hongfei explained: "Although I have been out of the customs for less than a month, I have taken back a lot of power in my hands, not only let Long Xingcheng, but also the power in the hands of the elders has been reduced a lot, they all feel the crisis, afraid that I will take away all the power and put them in the air, so they stood up to help Long Xingcheng, in order to put pressure on me, and at the same time tell me that they are united enough, not that I can resist alone." ”

"How can this be?" Long Feitian frowned, pondered for a while, and then understood that no matter who the power is, no one wants to hand over the power in their hands.

"Power is loved by everyone. Long Hongfei smiled: "I am no exception. ”

After a pause, he continued: "And Long Xing's talent is not much weaker than mine, the reason why his strength is worse than mine, is because he puts most of his energy on fighting for power, and now he is locked up in the backyard, he can practice with peace of mind, if my estimate is good, it should not be long before he can break through to the Martial King, and then it will be even more difficult for us to deal with him, after all, every Martial King is very important to a family." ”

"Tian'er, your father is right, so you must be careful in the future. Miao Fengyi also spoke out in time.

"I'll be careful. Long Feitian nodded, then turned his head to look at Long Yilin behind him, and said, "What are your plans?"

"Me?" Long Yilin looked at Long Feitian in surprise, and wondered, "Don't you kill me?"

"Kill you?" Long Feitian laughed and said: "If you were caught by me, you took the initiative to confess Long Xingcheng's crime, now you are a dead man, although your behavior is foolish, but I admire you very much, so I decided to spare your life, but you just identified Long Xingcheng in front of everyone, not only offended Long Xingcheng and his family, but even several elders were also offended." ”
