Chapter 298: The Li Clan Ancestral Hall Meeting
Looking at the backs of Yang Ming's master and apprentice leaving, all the clansmen finally breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, the killing just now was like a mountain, pressing their hearts, making it extremely difficult for them to even breathe. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Li Wuwei's clenched fists, at this moment, also slowly spread out, and the horror in his heart was like finding an outlet, revealing a relieved look.
In the ancestral hall of the Li family, the elders of the Li family gathered!
"Kneel!" above the high hall, Li Yanlong looked at Li Wuyan condescendingly and said majestically.
Under the indifferent gaze of everyone, Li Wuwei could only kneel down in an orderly manner, and just as he wanted to explain, he was obscured by his huge palm, and then, an unfamiliar force poured into his dantian and sealed it.
"Father!" Li Wuwei looked up in horror.
"Don't call me father, now, the old man is the law enforcement elder of the Li family, why did you let you come to the ancestral hall today, I think you should know it in your heart. Li Yanlong's voice did not fluctuate at all, and he looked at the latter coldly and said.
Hearing this, Li Wuwei's heart trembled suddenly.
"Since you don't dare to say it, then let the old man say it for you, yesterday, because of your stupid actions, you killed more than ten members of my Li clan, including Li Xiao from the hometown of the second clan, Li Yan from the hometown of the seventh clan, and the three descendants of the Li family, Li Wuhui, can you be guilty?" Li Yanlong's eyes slowly closed, and he immediately opened them suddenly, glaring at Li Wuyan who was kneeling on the ground, and shouted majestically.
Hearing this, the corners of Li Wuwei's mouth twitched slightly, as the patriarch of the Li family, he naturally knew about the strict family rules of the family, once he confessed his guilt, he would suffer from a meal of flesh and skin, and at worst he would have to worry about his life.
However, as a person in the rivers and lakes, he will not say a word when he suffers multiple injuries, but the clan rules of the Li family are notoriously cruel, and even he, a man in the rivers and lakes, does not dare to try it easily.
Although Li Wuhui wanted to deny his father's words, yesterday, in full view of everyone, his actions did kill so many clansmen, and this alone was enough to make him unable to refute.
"The child is guilty!" Li Wuwei gritted his teeth and whispered.
"Very good, Li Wuwei, as the head of the Li family, is extreme and arrogant, he doesn't know how to think about the Li clan, and he almost caused a big disaster by being the master without authorization. Li Yanlong flicked his sleeves, glanced at his son coldly, and then raised his head to look around at the elders of the clan, especially on the elders of the second clan and the elders of the seventh clan, paused and said loudly.
"Old family master!" When the clan elders saw this scene, they were shocked, originally they thought that Li Yanlong was just putting on a show, but they didn't expect the other party to play really, this is the rhythm of killing their son.
The Bloody Heart Knife, as the name suggests, is a torture instrument specially used to punish the sinners of the Li clan, once this knife is used, the punished person will have to bear at least a thousand knives, and in serious cases, he will even be sentenced to death.
"The old master, although the head of the family has mishandled this matter, but over the years, he has worked hard for the family, which is the scale of the Li family today, even if there is no merit, there is hard work!"
Hearing that Li Yanlong really planned to be ruthless, a clan elder hurriedly stood up, although he was very uninterested in Li Wuhui, but over the years, Li Wuhui has really taken care of the Li family very well, and his prestige in the rivers and lakes has become stronger and stronger, given time, maybe the Li family will be able to compete with those first-class sects, such a person, if he dies in the hands of his own people, it will be a pity.
Therefore, even though he was dissatisfied with Li Wuwei in his heart, he still chose to stand up for the sake of the family's long-term considerations.
Seeing that someone took the lead, except for the elders of the second clan and the elder of the seventh clan, the other clan elders pondered for a moment, and also stood up, and hurriedly said loudly: "Please also ask the old family master to show mercy!"
Seeing this scene, the elder of the big clan pondered for a moment, then took a step forward, looked around for a while, and said, "Old master, everyone, can you say a word." ”
"Elder of the clan, please speak!" Li Yanlong nodded slightly.
"Old family master, clan elders, yesterday's matter was really messy, according to the clan rules of our Li clan, the head of the family made such a mistake, and should be immediately sentenced to death. Speaking of this, the old clan's tone paused.
"This ......"
When the dozens of clan elders below heard this, they couldn't help but be stunned, and secretly said in their hearts: "Oops!"
In the Li family, as long as everyone knows that the old clan has coveted the position of the head of the family for a long time, and has a long-standing grudge with the head of the family.
Li Yanlong's eyes also narrowed slightly, and a cold light that left no trace flashed in his eyes, no matter what, Li Wuhui is his son, originally his plan was to punish Li Wuhui severely, so that the latter could restrain his temper, but he didn't really want to kill his relatives in righteousness, but if the elder of the big clan stood up at this time to add fuel to the fire, then he would have to ride a tiger.
And he really chose to kill his relatives and kill Li Wuwei, which is not only a loss for the Li family, but also makes their vein become detached, at least, his two grandsons will never recognize him again, this is not the result Li Yanlong wants.
When the elder of the great clan fell, Li Wuwei couldn't help but raise his head in some surprise, with his understanding of the elder of the great clan, although the latter had coveted the position of the head of the family for a long time, the elder of the great clan was definitely not a person who fell into the trap, which was why Li Wuyan allowed him to stay in the position of the elder of the great clan for so many years.
"Could it be that I'm looking away?" Li Wuwei glanced at the elder of the clan deeply, and after a while, he closed his eyes with a wry smile, since he couldn't figure it out, then simply don't think about it anymore.
Life and death are up to you!
"Big Clan Elder......" When a clan elder stood up and wanted to refute the big clan elder, he was suddenly stopped by him.
"Don't get excited, and listen to what I have to say!" The elder of the clan waved his hand and said, "You all have to know, I am very interested in the position of the head of the family, but one yard is one yard, if I want the position of the head of the family, I will fight for it with dignity......
"And what are you?" Hearing this, everyone was confused.
"I know you are all very confused, but I just want to ask you, shouldn't the mistakes made by the head of the family yesterday be punished with capital punishment?"
Hearing this, everyone was even more confused, what kind of medicine is bought in the old gourd of this big clan, since you said that you didn't fall into the well, what does it mean to say this kind of thing now?
Among the people present, only Li Wuwei, who had calmed down, had some understanding, and looked at the elder of the clan with a look full of gratitude, and the latter emphasized the clan rules before and after, nothing more than wanting to keep his position as the head of the family, and at the same time give an explanation to the clansmen.
"This time, due to the impulse of the head of the family, more than a dozen Li clan members were innocently killed, this responsibility, no matter what, must be borne by the head of the family, if the ancestral hall meeting thunders and rains, I am afraid that my Li family's huge family will gradually fall apart because of this matter, and go farther and farther, so the head of the family must be punished, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public. The elder of the clan flicked his sleeves and said in a deep voice.
After hearing this, the clan elders were silent for a moment, what the clan elders said was not unreasonable, the strength of a family lies in their unity, if the clansmen have thoughts in their hearts because of this matter, it will be worth the loss.
"Old family master, this matter is indeed an emergency, no wonder the family master, if it were me, I am afraid that the same decision would be made. At this time, in the silent ancestral hall of the Li family, the boss of the two clans stepped forward and said slowly: "Therefore, we don't care about this matter. ”
"I also agree with the opinion of the elders of the two clans. Gritting his teeth, the elders of the Seven Clans also stood up and said loudly.
The innocent and tragic death of their grandson, although the two of them were very uncomfortable in their hearts, and even made them angry, but if Li Wuyan was executed like this, it would be too big a blow to the Li family, which was not in the interests of the family, and it was not the result they wanted, so no matter how angry they were in their hearts, they had to endure this breath for the time being.
"The two clan elders don't care about this matter, that's because you take the overall situation into account, but have you ever considered the disciples below, can they all have this kind of consciousness as you?" Hearing the reluctant words of these two people, the clan elder couldn't help but snort coldly and said in a deep voice.
"What do you say about the big clan elder?" asked the Seven Clan Elder bitterly.
The elder of the big clan did not answer, he pondered for a moment, then raised his head to look at Li Yanlong, and said with some desire to speak: "Old master!"
"But it doesn't hurt to say it!" Li Yanlong waved his hand and said lightly.
After some elaboration just now, the old clan's actions made him very satisfied, he has lived for nearly a hundred years, and some things can be understood in front of him just a little bit, and the old man of the big clan wants to help his son regain the hearts of the people this time!
"In my opinion, this time the head of the family has made a big mistake, and he must be punished, and he must be punished heavily, and at the same time, he must be executed in front of the whole clan, and this matter cannot be sloppy. Taking a deep breath, the elder of the clan looked at Li Wuyan who was kneeling on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "As for the punishment that the head of the family should be punished by the level, it depends on the opinions of the two clan elders. ”
After speaking, the eyes of the elders of the big clan fell on the elders of the second clan and the elders of the seven clans, if they want to win the hearts of the people, they must start from these two people, only by smoothing out the tone in their hearts, then they can make them willing to settle their own children.
"We?" the two elders of the two clans glanced at each other, and a faint look of surprise couldn't help but appear on their faces.
"Yes, it's you, but it seems to me that you have only two choices, one is torture with a thousand knives, and the other is the punishment of the whip, you can choose one of them. The elder of the big clan looked at the two calmly and said lightly.
"The punishment of a thousand knives and a fire whip?" Hearing the words of the elder of the big clan, the two of them couldn't help but hesitate for a moment, and said: "Elder of the great clan, will this be too serious, whether it is the punishment of a thousand knives or the punishment of the fire whip, if you are not careful, the head of the family may be beaten to death." ”
"Hehe, don't worry, the two clan elders can rest assured, the head of the family is a person who crawled out of the Blood Dragon Dao, and a small criminal law will not kill him, but once he bears one of these two kinds of torture, it is estimated that the head of the family will only be able to spend half a year in bed in the future. The words of the two suddenly made the elder of the big clan smile slightly and said.
"This ......"
The two raised their heads, and their eyes couldn't help but fall on Li Yanlong's body, the elder of the big clan is just a person who makes suggestions, and the real decision is still in Li Yanlong's hands, if the latter does not agree with his son to accept these two criminal laws, even if the elder of the big clan says that it is useless.
"Just do what the old man of the big clan said!" After a moment of silence, Li Yanlong nodded expressionlessly and said.
To be honest, this result was expected by Li Yanlong, but it was also unexpected, due to the promotion of the elders of the big clan, this matter went very smoothly, almost eliminating the mustard of the two clans and the seven clans, and also calming the hearts of the Li people, this method is simply killing two birds with one stone.
However, once this matter is decided, then Li Wuwei is destined to suffer a big crime, whether it is the punishment of a thousand knives or the punishment of fire whips, it is not a joke, to put it mildly, this kind of criminal law is afraid that even ghosts are afraid of seeing it, let alone a living person.
Seeing that the matter had finally been decided, Li Wuhui slowly opened his eyes, for him, this should be the best result, but when Li Wuhui thought of the punishment of the thousand swords and the fire whip, as the peak of the Tongqi Realm, he couldn't help but shudder fiercely in his heart.
......
About half an hour later, at the entrance of the ancestral hall of the Li clan, there was a surge of people, looking at Li Wuwei who was kneeling on the ground shirtless, and he couldn't help but be confused.
At this time, the elder of the big clan stood up, looked around at the dense crowd, listened to the noise of whispering, frowned, sank his dantian, and shouted: "Quiet!"
Hearing the stern shouts of the big clan elder, the crowd suddenly fell silent, and his eyes couldn't help but fall on Li Wuwei, who closed his eyes, hoping that the big clan elder could give them a reasonable explanation.
"Li Wuwei, as the head of a clan, can not lead by example, yesterday because of his reckless behavior, resulting in the tragic death of more than a dozen disciples of our clan, today, the old family master specially convened an ancestral hall meeting for this purpose, the resolution is as follows, first, deprive Li Wuwei of three years of resources to worship, two, give Li Wuwei the punishment of fire whip, as a punishment!"
Hearing this, the burly man opened his eyes suddenly, and hurriedly pulled out a hot whip from the brazier on the side, and then whipped it down fiercely at Li Wuwei's back in full view of everyone.
"Smack!"
A heart-rending sound came from Li Wuwei's mouth, like a wounded beast...... (To be continued.) )
