In the center of the Gathering Hall, there was a table with a white cloth on the table, and inside was Elder Hong's head.

There were many elders around, Zhou Luogao sat on top of the top, his right index finger moved the armrest again and again, and asked lightly: "You all know everything, let's talk about your opinions." ”

"Hall Master. An elder stood up, clasped his fists and said, "This is nothing to discuss, is it? Zhou Han, as a member of the hall, committed a heinous disaster and should be executed!"

After speaking, another elder stood up and said, "Don't forget, Zhou Han is certainly the hall master, but he has been missing for more than a month, and his cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds, not to mention, he also said that he is a second-grade alchemist, and now that the assessment of this family is imminent, if there is no alchemist in the hall, how can the elixir be supplied?"

"Could it be that you mean to let this person who is guilty of the following take the position of the elder of the alchemy room?" The elder snorted coldly: "Today he can kill Hong Fei on the next offense, and tomorrow he can kill me on the next offense, such a heart, even if he is talented, he must not stay!"

The elders were chattering and expressing their opinions to each other, and at this time, Zhou Lan stood up and interrupted everyone's discussion, and then Zhou Luo said in front of him: "Father, can you listen to my opinion?"

"Lan'er, you say. Zhou Luo nodded.

Zhou Lan strode in front of many elders and said loudly: "Zhou Han killed Elder Hong this time, although it is a family taboo, but have you ever thought about why Zhou Han wants to kill Elder Hong instead of others?"

Hearing this, all the elders also thought deeply, and Zhou Lan continued: "Before, I went to Tianjian Mountain to collect medicine, and I went with Elder Hong's disciple Wu Liang, and he told me that if Elder Hong disagrees with him, he will give his disciples the Bone Erosion Pill as punishment, and you should know what this Bone Erosion Pill is. ”

"Miss, even so, how can Elder Hong be an elder, there is nothing wrong with punishing his subordinates, right?" an elder retorted.

"It's true that there is no fault, but the slave is also a human being, as long as it is a human being, it will make mistakes, we can punish them at will, but we can't be too harsh, just imagine, if our entire Zhou family has no minions, how should it operate? After a pause, Zhou Lan continued: "He acted recklessly, it is true that he killed Hong Fei, and there must be punishment, but in my opinion, there are two reasons why the crime does not lead to death. ”

"First, we still don't know Zhou Han's motives, is he just resentful of Elder Hong because he was punished? This matter is now making a lot of noise in the Heavenly Sword Hall, if it is not handled properly, I am afraid that it will cause the dissatisfaction of many slaves, and it will not end well at that time, and it will also have an impact on the outside world. ”

"Second, it is the current situation, the assessment of the family is imminent, the pill cannot be broken, since Zhou Han said that he is a second-grade alchemist, he must be able to refine the Condensing Pill. ”

"According to the above two points, I think that Zhou Han should be punished, but he should also be kept, he has been missing for more than a month, and he must have been promoted so much, he must have obtained some kind of opportunity, we have to take advantage of this opportunity, what do you elders think?"

After listening to Zhou Lan's analysis, all the elders also nodded, and what Zhou Lan said was very objective.

Seeing that there was no difference of opinion among the people, Zhou Luo got up and said, "Okay, since this is the case, bring Zhou Han and interrogate it in public, come, bring Zhou Han here!"

Zhou Luo gave an order, and soon, Zhou Han was brought up.

At this time, he was wearing shackles and leg shackles, and the chains rattled when he walked.

"Zhou Han, meet the hall master, young lady, and elders. Zhou Han bowed and bowed.

"Zhou Han, as a member of the Zhou family, you should know the rules of the Zhou family, why did you kill Elder Hong!" Zhou Luo asked loudly.

Zhou Han breathed a sigh of relief, and when asked the reason, it showed that he was right.

"If you go back to the hall master, Hong Fei wants to kill me, I can't help but fight back and let him kill me. ”

"Elder Hong wants to kill you? You were a slave in the Medicine Garden not long ago, Elder Hong is an elder, why did you kill you?" an elder asked.

Zhou Han had already thought of a series of responses, and continued: "The cause is because of the missing slave Huang Xiaoke. ”

"Huang Xiaoke is my friend, before the public assessment, Huang Xiaoke died, it was killed by Hong Fei, I don't know the reason, but I accidentally saw Hong Fei kill Huang Xiaoke, after being discovered by Hong Fei, he was scheming, wanting to kill me unconsciously, it may be that my previous cultivation was low, Hong Fei didn't put me in his eyes, and he didn't do it for a long time, but after the hall assessment, I became a disciple of the hall, and the eldest lady asked me to be a guard in public, so Hong Fei was anxious. ”

"Hiss!" Zhou Luo gasped when he heard this, recalling the events of the day of the assessment, it was indeed a little strange, and said: "No wonder, I said why that day, Elder Hong kept preventing you from becoming Lan'er's guard. ”

"According to the ten-day covenant, I returned to the medicine garden, teaching the newcomers to plant medicinal herbs, at that time Hong Fei did it to me, including the newcomers, and Wu Zhen, the disciple of the No. 2 Medicine Garden, they witnessed that Hong Fei wanted to kill me, in order to kill people, Hong Fei killed the two of them, I cultivated a little higher, ran all the way away, and finally was knocked off the cliff by Hong Fei, I did not die, and got some opportunities under the cliff, these times, I have been cultivating under the cliff, and I dare not delay for a moment, if I don't cultivate enough to come back early, I will definitely be killed by Hong Fei, what I said is true。 ”

"Zhou Han, what you said is just your words, Elder Hong is dead, there is no proof of death, how can you let us believe you?" Zhou Luo said lightly.

"If the hall master doesn't believe it, you can ask Mr. Ma to come here to testify, he has a deep relationship with Hong Fei, and he must know something. ”

"Oh? Zhou Lan smiled.

"Come on, call Mr. Ma. Zhou Luo gave the order.

After a while, Manager Ma arrived, he first glanced at Zhou Han, and then knelt on the ground resignedly.

"Manager Ma, Zhou Han said that you have a deep relationship with Elder Hong, tell me what you know. ”

Chief Manager Ma nodded, glanced back at Zhou Han and replied: "Qiyu Hall Master, Elder Hong asked the little one to check Zhou Han's whereabouts during the time when Zhou Han was missing, but the little one didn't find it, and he didn't know what happened between Zhou Han and Elder Hong. ”

"Do you know about Huang Xiaoke, and the death of Wu Zhen and that newcomer in the Medicine Garden, were they killed by Elder Hong?"

"The little one doesn't know Huang Xiaoke, but he knows that Wu Zhen and the newcomer died, yes, it was the corpse that the little one helped Elder Hong dispose of, please forgive the hall master, the little one doesn't have to help Elder Hong, but the little one is coerced, if the little one doesn't agree, Elder Hong's vicious heart will definitely find a way to kill the little one. Chief Manager Ma hurriedly kowtowed and continued, "The little one also knows that Elder Hong often withholds medicinal materials without permission, and secretly refines pills and sells them in Chuyun City. ”
