Chapter 5: The Patriarch's Wrath
Lin Zhenlong is busy with the business of mines and docks on weekdays, and he does not stay in Linjiabao for many years. After coming back, he never heard his son Lin Zhou complain or complain to him, and he didn't know what happened to Lin Zhou and Lin Tao before.
But he faintly heard something that made him feel extremely shocked and angry from the conversation between Lin Tao and Lin Zhou just now, and his face suddenly became ugly.
"Lin Zhou knelt down to Lin Tao on the back mountain, kowtowed to each of us, and was chained to a dog cage to learn how ...... dog barked. He didn't expect the meeting hall to suddenly fall silent, but what he said happened to be heard by Lin Zhenlong from a distance.
Lin Hua is Lin Shi's elder brother, the son of Lin Zhongxing, a deacon in Lin Jiabao, and one of Lin Tao's followers. Lin Hua is a concubine, and Lin Shi is a concubine, so when Lin Jiabao has a big event, Lin Hua can follow his father Lin Zhongxing into the council hall, but Lin Shi cannot.
"Hua'er shut up!" Deacon Lin Zhongxing sensed that the situation was not good, and hurriedly stopped his son.
"Lin Hua, come here. Lin Zhenlong shouted to Lin Hua. At this time, his face was pale, his tone was frighteningly calm, and his whole person exuded a dangerous and terrifying aura, just like a volcano before the eruption.
"Clan...... Long ......" Lin Hua felt that the situation was not quite right, glanced at his father Lin Zhongxing, and then walked over to this side and stopped at the central station of the council hall.
Lin Zhenlong stood up and walked towards Lin Hua who was standing in the center of the council hall step by step, under the powerful soul coercion of the eighth-order peak martial artist, Lin Hua's legs couldn't help but fall to the ground.
"You said Zhou'er kowtowed to you? You put him on a leash and put him in a dog cage?" Lin Zhenlong asked Lin Hua.
The entire conference hall became extremely quiet, and everyone's eyes focused on Lin Zhenlong and Lin Hua in the center of the hall.
"This ...... This...... It's all ...... It's all ...... Lin Tao's cousin...... The idea ......" Lin Hua said to Lin Zhenlong a little nervously.
In the more than ten years that Lin Zhenlong has been in charge of Lin Jiabao, although he is extremely ruthless when he fights with other families for the interests of Lin Jiabao outside, he is known as Tyrannosaurus Lin. But as long as he returned to Lin Jiabao, he was extremely generous and benevolent to his people, even if the people in his Zhenlong Mansion occasionally had some minor conflicts with his clansmen in the case of Zhanli, and the disputes would mostly end with Lin Zhenlong's concession and compromise.
In the council hall, even if some elders and deacons quarreled or even made a move for some interests, Lin Zhenlong, as the patriarch, never blushed with anyone, and always mediated very kindly. Moreover, the elders in the Council of Elders, especially the Great Elder Lin Zhenshan, often severely punished some clansmen for offending themselves or their families, but what was surprising was that the clansman Lin Zhenlong had never personally punished any clansmen in the past ten years.
This gave the tribesmen an illusion...... That is, the patriarch Lin Zhenlong has no temper at all, and he is a good man. In Linjiabao, the people of Zhenshan Mansion can't be provoked, and they must try their best to please them, but if they provoke the people of Zhenlong Mansion, they will be fine.
It's like they followed Lin Tao to humiliate and bully Lin Zhou so many times, but they didn't see any reaction from Zhenlong Mansion.
"I asked if you were involved?" Lin Zhenlong then asked Lin Hua.
Lin Hua glanced at Lin Tao, then lowered his head and stopped squeaking.
"In the past, I always taught you to care for each other and support each other as children of the same clan, and to help each other in times of trouble, this is also our ancestral teaching, have you forgotten?" Lin Zhenlong looked at Lin Hua in front of him coldly, and glanced at Lin Tao who was standing behind Lin Zhenshan.
His face had never been so cold, and his heart had never been so cold as it was today.
"It's Lin Zhou! Always say something crazy! Brother Lin Tao said that he is always losing our people from Lin Jiabao! He deserves to be punished!" Lin Hua mustered up the courage to say loudly to Lin Zhenlong. I don't know what Lu Dao is for, he is not very scared, Patriarch Lin has always been good-tempered, and he has never punished people, and there can be no exception today, right?
He must have been afraid that he would provoke anger at someone, attract the objections of the clansmen, and make his position as patriarch unstable? In that case, what else was there to be afraid of? Just like now, things have come to this point, and he still hasn't even raised his voice much.
Lin Hua's father Lin Zhongxing is the one who follows Lin Zhenshan, Lin Hua and his younger brother Lin Shi are the people who follow Lin Tao, and his whisper just now offended the patriarch Lin Zhenlong to death anyway, so it is better to take this opportunity to express his loyalty to Zhenshan Mansion. Anyway, although this Lin Zhenlong is the patriarch, he is not in the clan most of the time, and the affairs inside and outside the clan are decided by the great elder Lin Zhenshan.
"So, when the people of the other families were laughing at Zhou'er, you brothers and brothers didn't think about helping him get his face back, but followed the people of the other families to humiliate him and trample on his most basic dignity as a member of the Lin Jiabao family?" Lin Zhenlong's voice was a little louder, and from the violent ups and downs in his chest, you could imagine the extreme unrest in his heart at the moment.
Lin Zhenlong's tolerance and generosity towards his clansmen are not because he is cowardly by nature, but because he knows better than other clansmen the weakness of the Lin family in this troubled world. As the patriarch of the Lin family, he has this burden on his shoulders and has a more important mission than ordinary elders to complete, and all this requires the unity of the entire Lin family.
Therefore, all the contradictions within the family, as long as they do not touch his bottom line, he will never be angry with any clansmen, even if he has any opinions, he will hide them deep in his heart.
"Dignity depends on strength! What dignity does he have when he is a natural waste, it will only drag down our Lin family!" Lin Hua refuted Lin Zhenlong even louder, kneeling on the ground, he obviously didn't notice the change in the expression on Lin Zhenlong's face at this time.
"Dignity depends on strength! Well said! Very good! Very good! Ha Lu ......Ha
The juniors standing in the clan were all pale and staggered, almost unsteady on their feet, and even the elders and deacons sitting in the council hall felt some kind of tremendous pressure.
This is something that has never happened before, Lin Zhenlong has always believed that his own force is used against outsiders, so he has never shown his super strength to his people in Lin Jiabao!
"Today, I, Lin Zhenlong, will let all of you see what strength is!
Under everyone's gaze, Lin Zhenlong suddenly raised his palm high and slammed it on the head of Lin Hua, who was squatting in front of him, instantly shattering Lin Hua's Heavenly Spirit Cover. Lin Hua didn't even have time to make a sound, and after a muffled sound, his brain splattered, and his whole body fell to the ground softly.
This is the first time that Lin Zhenlong, as the patriarch, has killed someone in Lin Jiabao! And he killed a junior!
Lin Hua's mistake was that first, he shouldn't have participated in those things and gave Lin Zhou the first humiliation; second, he shouldn't have publicly said those things in front of everyone in the council hall in the presence of the Su family, so that Lin Zhou suffered a second humiliation; third, he shouldn't have been unrepentant after the incident, and he would not have bumpered with Lin Zhenlong to the end.
"Hua'er!"
Lin Hua's father, Lin Zhongxing, was shocked, and his mind was completely confused. Although he also realized the seriousness of the matter when Lin Zhenlong called Lin Hua forward, he thought that Lin Zhenlong would at most physically punish Lin Hua, but he didn't expect that Lin Zhenlong would actually kill his son Lin Hua in public in the council hall!
"My son of Lin Zhenlong, can anyone be humiliated!? You can bully him! It's okay to beat him! But as a clan brother, you can't let him kneel! You can't trample on his dignity as a human being! This is the bottom line for Lin Jiabao to treat his own people and his brothers!" Lin Zhenlong roared like a lion, and then turned his head and glared at Lin Tao behind Lin Zhenshan fiercely.
Forcing Lin Zhou to kneel, leashing him, and putting him in a dog cage, everything Lin Tao, Lin Hua, Lin Shi and others have done has touched Lin Zhenlong's bottom line!
The patriarch has not been angry for ten years, but if he is angry today, he will be sacrificed with blood!
