Chapter 40: The Thief Cries Out to Catch the Thief (12)

The elder stared at the disciple who was lost in thought, and every possible way of dealing with it flashed in his mind.

He knew that the current situation was very clear, and the crane raised by Liu Yun was exactly what Liu Yun had stolen.

This made him feel helpless, and he knew that he had to take appropriate action.

Originally, he didn't want to take care of this matter, but now the other party has not admitted it, but it has reached this point, which really makes him extremely embarrassed.

The elder thought about how to deal with this matter, after all, Liu Yun's father was also an elder, and if he handled it too much, he would offend Liu Yun's father.

He understands that this is a very delicate balancing act.

The Elder's eyes flickered slightly, pondering every possible course of action.

He took a deep breath and decided to calmly analyze the problem first. Putting humanity and justice together is the principle he has always adhered to.

He must remain neutral and uphold the principle of fairness and justice.

He began to make a decision in his heart, and nodded slightly.

He then looked at his disciple who was lost in thought, hoping to find a hint in his eyes.

"Liu Yun is a gifted disciple, and his father is a member of our Council of Elders." The elder muttered to himself, his brows furrowed slightly. He understands that the problem is not simple.

The elder looked around, as if searching for more information.

He knew that to make an informed decision, he needed to know the full picture and background.

After some time, the elder stopped.

He was pensive, his expression deep in thought.

Leisurely, he smiled slightly, as if he had an idea.

"Liu Yun's father is a member of the Council of Elders, we must face this fact, but we can't ignore the facts." The elder silently made a decision in his heart.

The patrol leader silently observed the elder's expression and demeanor at the elders' meeting.

Although the elder had already understood the cause of the incident and understood the truth of the matter, the captain could sense that the elder seemed to have some scruples, especially for Liu Yun's father.

The captain had a worry in his heart, he was worried that the elder might frame himself for taking care of Liu Yun's father when dealing with this issue.

He knew that Liu Yun's father had a certain amount of power in the Council of Elders, and he was a colleague of the Elders.

As for whether this elder can bring Liu Yun to justice, this is completely something he doesn't need to think about, as long as it doesn't endanger him.

The captain looked at the elder's eyes, a look of concern, with a hint of alarm.

He noticed that the Elder's eyes flickered from time to time, as if contemplating a possible outcome.

The Elder's expression was solemn, his brow furrowed slightly, as if he was thinking about a possible next move, and the captain could feel the hesitation and uneasiness in his heart.

The captain was nervous, and he knew that in the face of such a decision, the elders had to strike a balance between morality and responsibility.

He was worried that the elders would favor the other party because they were afraid of Liu Yun's father, or take excessive measures to treat him.

The captain looked at the elder, hoping to capture his true thoughts and concerns.

He saw the elder's eyes, and the worry and helplessness revealed in those eyes seemed to be shifting the balance of interests.

The Elder's eyes revealed a contradictory and complex emotion, as if he was distressed by the preservation of justice and credibility.

The captain understands that time, responsibility, and morality are a great burden for elders.

The captain couldn't help but feel sympathy, he could understand the elder's difficult situation at the moment.

He knew that the elders had to endure all kinds of pressures to maintain the image and authority of the presbyterian church, to be fair and principled.

The captain took a deep breath, and he made up his mind that if the elder really wanted to wronged him, then he would stop there, once this matter was the most troublesome, he would not be able to stay in the sect, at least there would be a glimmer of life.

The captain secretly prayed that the elders would make a just and wise choice in this decision.

He believed that the dignity and authority of the Presbyterian Church could only be upheld by upholding justice and morality.

Liu Yun looked at the elder, revealing a look of incomprehension and injustice, and there was a trace of anxiety and pleading in his eyes.

"Elder, I'm really not the one who steals cranes! You have to trust me! ”

Liu Yun said in a trembling voice, with innocence and grievances in his voice.

He stretched out his trembling hand and held the elder's hand tightly, shaking it constantly.

He hoped that through this intimate contact, the elders would be able to see what was going on and believe in his innocence.

The elder's expression gradually turned disgusted, he refused Liu Yun's contact, withdrew his hand slightly, and broke Liu Yun's hand away.

"Liu Yun, you don't have to play these tricks anymore. The evidence is overwhelming, and I have made a decision. The Elder's voice was cold and firm.

Liu Yun's mood became even more excited, and his eyes were full of anger and helplessness.

"Elder, my father is a member of the Council of Elders, why should he be so unfair to me?! I definitely didn't steal cranes! Liu Yun's voice raised a few points, and he tried to express his anger and despair to the elder.

The elder's brows furrowed, and he looked at Liu Yun and did not respond.

He knew that the argument was useless at this point, and the decision had been made.

Liu Yun turned away unwillingly, his heart full of disappointment and resentment.

He felt that he had been treated unjustly, and at the same time felt that he was small and unworthy in the eyes of the elders.

The elder looked at Liu Yun's back, and he felt a trace of pain and regret in his heart.

He didn't want to be treated so harshly with Liu Yunxia, but he also knew that

It is only through a just decision that the image and authority of the Presbyterian Church can be maintained.

He looked at Liu Yun's departing figure, and he chose to remain silent about Liu Yun's innocent argument.

He understands that such a decision may make people look down on him, but he believes that everything he has paid for is worth it as long as he sticks to principles and fairness.

The captain decided not to think about it anymore and trusted that the elders would make the right decision.

He believed that the elders would be able to face the problem courageously, without outside interference, and stick to their principles and original intentions.

The elder turned to leave, and he decided to put the matter on the table at tomorrow's elders' meeting.

He believed that the issue could only be dealt with through an open and fair trial.

The elder knew that this move would undoubtedly cause a certain amount of turmoil, and might even offend Liu Yun's father.

He believed, however, that it was important to preserve the credibility and impartiality of the Presbyterian Church, rather than pandering to individual interests.

Hearing Liu Yun's words, the elder raised his voice angrily, and his face turned pale.

"Liu Yun! Do you dare to continue to say that you are wronged? Now immediately confess and be lenient, and resist strictly! The elder's voice was full of majesty and rage.

Liu Yun cried with a sad face, and his voice trembled and defended again and again: "Elder, please believe me, I am really wronged!" I'm not a crane thief! ”

Seeing this, the elder was dissatisfied with Liu Yun's attitude in his heart, and he felt that Liu Yun was dying and refused to admit it.

He took a deep breath and pulled out a token.

A light emanated from the token, creating a curtain of light in the air.

"Liu Yun, see clearly! This is how you stole the crane! There is no denying it! The elder's voice was firm and serious.

Liu Yun looked at the picture displayed in the light curtain, and his heart was even more panicked.

He tried to argue his case, but thousands of pieces of evidence lay out in front of him, and he couldn't deny it.

At the same time, he was shocked, he really hadn't been to that place, he had definitely never been to this scene.

But what can you do in the face of this evidence?

Even if he defended himself at the moment, no one believed him.

After all, it is indeed yourself who is in the light curtain.

As for impersonation? It was completely impossible to pretend to be under the nose of the elders.

The elder is powerful, and there is no need for someone who can pretend to be under the nose of the elder to do such a thing as stealing cranes.

As he thought, everyone looked at him with strange eyes, and some even whispered about it.

"Behold, he did it, no wonder it has not been found."

"Tsk, the guards are stealing, if it weren't for Liu Si, I'm afraid no one would have found out."

"What a great time!"

……

Listening to these people's words, the elder looked at Liu Yun with a hint of disappointment and regret in his eyes.

He didn't want to make such a decision, but now, he has to stand up for principle and justice.

"Liu Yun, your actions have ruined the image and reputation of the Council of Elders! You will face severe penalties! The elder's voice was full of determination and anger.

Liu Yun felt like a knife in his heart, and tears couldn't stop flowing.

He knew that he had no room to escape, so he no longer resisted, and said in a trembling voice, "Elder, please deal with me according to the rules. ”

There was silence as everyone stared at the elder, waiting for his verdict.

The elder said in a deep voice, "Liu Yun is a member of the Council of Elders, and he is also a gifted disciple. However, we can't let him steal because of that. I have decided that Liu Yun will be tried seriously and punished accordingly in accordance with the regulations. ”

His voice was sonorous and full of credibility.

The elder's decision was recognized by everyone, and the atmosphere was once again lively.

The elder prayed silently in his heart, hoping that Liu Yun's father would understand his decision. He believed that as long as principles and justice were adhered to, their relationship would be resolved.

The elder took a deep breath, believing that the decision was the right one. Although he hesitated for a while, he finally chose to face the truth and responsibility bravely. He knew that this was the only way to maintain the image and authority of the Presbyterian Church.

The elder's brow furrowed, as if he had let go of his heavy burden. He hoped in his heart that this decision would make Liu Yun realize his mistake and sincerely repent.

He looked at Liu Yun, who was dejected, and said softly: "Okay, you don't have to go to receive the punishment, I will punish you to compensate half of the crane, and I am also responsible for the other half, I will help you pay in advance." ”

For the sake of Liu Yun's father's face, the elder made concessions.

He looked at Liu Yun, who was dejected, and said softly: "Okay, you don't have to go to receive the punishment, I will punish you to compensate half of the crane, and I am also responsible for the other half, I will help you pay in advance." ”

For the sake of Liu Yun's father's face, the elder made concessions.

Liu Yun also knew that the elder had taken good care of him, although he really didn't steal the crane, but it was useless for him to quibble about the current situation, so he could only thank him.

Liu Yun respectfully knelt in front of the elder, bowed his head and did not dare to look at the elder, his tone was full of self-blame and remorse: "Elder, I should be punished!" I was indeed negligent that night, so please punish me as an example. I will definitely learn this lesson and never let this happen again. I hope that the elders will forgive me this time, and I sincerely appreciate your care for my father, and I will definitely try to make amends and never fail to live up to your expectations, Elder. ”

Seeing that Liu Yun had been deeply remorseful, the elder no longer embarrassed him, and said, "You get up, you are still young, and it is normal to make mistakes." As long as you recognize your mistakes, I am sure that you will learn from your mistakes and will definitely do better in the future. You can do the compensation as soon as possible, but don't force it, let's take it step by step. ”

Liu Yun listened to the elder's words, thanked the elder again for his tolerance, and said after getting up, "Elder Xie is kind, I will definitely redouble my efforts and complete the compensation as quickly as possible." From now on, I will never disappoint you, Elder, again. I will take the elders' kindness to heart, and I will repay you with practical actions. ”

The elder's magnanimous approach made all the patrol members present admire, and they felt that the elder's handling was very wise.

The captain was the first to speak: "The elder is really merciful, although Liu Yun has made mistakes, he is still a young man after all. The elder was able to enlighten him to admit his mistake and let him only bear half of the compensation, which was really a kindness to Liu Yun. In the future, Liu Yun will definitely be grateful for the elders' enlightenment, work harder, and not make a mistake for life. ”

The rest of the team members also agreed: "The elder is wise and martial, and he is not informal, and he has benefited Liu Yun a lot for the sake of Liu Yun's father's face." This is also a lesson for our younger generation, and we should not blindly punish mistakes if they make mistakes, but should be enlightened so that they can recognize their mistakes and turn over a new leaf. We must all study the elders' approach, and we can't be demanding that the children who are just starting out be like old adults, and we must give them more room to grow. ”

"Yes, although Liu Yun is wrong, he does work hard. This incident allowed him to be punished, and it also made him understand his own shortcomings, so that he had more room for improvement. We should all learn from the elders that kind of generosity and compassion, and give the younger generations more opportunities to mend their ways. ”

"The elders have opened our eyes to the self-discipline and demeanor of others, and we need to ask the elders for advice. Liu Yun should be grateful for the kindness of the elders, and we should also ask the elders for advice on how to deal with things, so that we can become truly far-sighted, benevolent and upright people. ”

"Yes, we should follow the example of our elders, exercise more inner self-cultivation, do not punish too much for a small mistake, and learn to be tolerant and love our juniors. In the future, Liu Yun will definitely be grateful for the elder's kindness and work harder to live up to the elder's entrustment. We also need to learn more from the elders about how to behave in the world and how to do things. ”

Everyone looked at the elder with admiration and respect, and the elder's virtue and bearing had deeply influenced and infected them.

This generosity and kindness will serve as an example for them to learn from, and will also make the whole patrol more generous and loving.

On the surface, this is the case, but in fact, we don't know what everyone thinks in their hearts.
