Chapter 258: The Measure of Punishment
"Now I can be sure that I have experienced some things, and these things are real and objective, not hallucinations that I have generated. Update 78 novels as soon as possible // (Update the fastest The facts I'm going to tell next may sound bizarre or even ridiculous, but I can swear by my reputation to prove its truth.) Zhou Tong said solemnly.
"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and tell me what's going on?" the Moon Viewing Daoist urged angrily.
Zhou Tong quickly replied, "Yes, Master." Here's the thing, last night ......" As he narrated, the others finally understood the inside story of the whole thing,
Sometimes, the truth that comes out of the mouth does not necessarily lead to the complete trust of others. When Zhou Tong finished speaking, the words that Wu Shi Dao Chang casually threw out greatly reduced the persuasiveness of his words. "This is just your side of the story, what kind of witnesses? Where is the physical evidence? All of us have heard only your words, but what we have seen is such a scene, and you cannot unilaterally decide the twists and turns in the matter!"
"So...... What do you think is the truth of the matter? Is it true that hearing is false, and seeing is believing?" Zhou Tong asked expressionlessly, any justification is superfluous, not only will it not help him clear his suspicion, but it will also make people who target him everywhere see it as a manifestation of sophistry and exculpation. ββ
"That's not what your Uncle Wu Shi meant, he just analyzes the problem from an objective point of view. Seeing that the atmosphere present was a little stagnant, the Qianmu Dao chief hurriedly spoke out.
Liu Wenyan and Wu Yan both had the heart to say a few good words for Zhou Tong, but there was no better reason for all the uncles and uncles present to divert their attention from Zhou Tong.
The Moon Guanyue Dao Elder glanced at the Martial Origin Dao Chief, and said nonchalantly: "Senior Brother, although what my apprentice said is one-sided, but it can't be completely deniedβ§ someone who has caused trouble and stayed in place and is caught?"
"Maybe your apprentice is the exception, everything can't be inferred by common sense, maybe your apprentice deliberately did the opposite?" Wu Shidao kicked the 'ball' back without a trace.
"Yes or no, it's up to you to have the final say, since Zhou Tong has already said what he has seen and heard, if you want to make a fair judgment, all of us present need to investigate further, and it will only be a waste of time to do more verbal battles here. The words of the Moon-Watching Daoist were quite decent, and it was impossible to refute the no-nonsense in his words.
"Hmph, let this matter be put aside for the time being, but at the moment, most of the treasure books in the Hidden Treasure Pavilion have been damaged, so this can't just be forgotten! Anyway, Zhou Tong has to bear some of the responsibility. Wu Shi Dao Chang put the responsibility back on Zhou Tong.
Others vaguely sensed that Daoist Wu was deliberately making things difficult for Zhou Tong, and everyone knew the reason for this, and this reason was very justifiable, so no one took the initiative to say it.
As Zhou Tong's master, the head of the Guanyue Dao couldn't watch his apprentice being made so difficult, not to mention that the person who made it difficult for his apprentice was a little junior disciple that he had always looked down on. "Yes! β
As soon as these words came out, Daoist Wu felt a little surprised, how could the senior brother who had always been against him agree with his words? That kid was his only apprentice......!
Not only was the Daoist Wu Shi a little unexpected, but even the other Dao Chiefs, Liu Wenyan and Wu Yan were a little unclear. Only Zhou Tong was unmoved, he felt sorry for the scraps of paper on the ground, and thought that he should indeed pay some responsibility, but he had already thought of a remedy for himself, and most of the Taoist leaders nodded in agreement.
Daoist Wu Shi glanced at Daoist Guanyue slightly, and continued: "I don't know how you senior brothers think Zhou Tong should be punished?" He understood that he could only point to the end at present, and if he even said the way of punishment directly from his mouth, then the heat of the matter would be a little too much. As the youngest junior disciple, he knew very well that he couldn't go beyond the bounds.
The Moon Viewing Daoist was not in a hurry to exonerate Zhou Tong, he first calmly observed the reactions of others, and then pondered the situation to make a reasonable decision, anyway, the punishment that fell on Zhou Tong could not escape, as for what the punishment that fell on him was the most important thing.
The oldest one present was the senior brother, and the Qingfeng Dao Chief, who was the head of the sect, was not on the spot, so the most important thing to speak was the Moon Guanyue Dao Chief, and Zhou Tong, who made a mistake, was the only disciple of the Moon Guanyue Dao Chief, and this way of punishment was really difficult to decide. If you say it lightly, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to convince the public, and if it is too serious, I'm afraid that it will attract the resentment of the senior brother, which really makes the other onlookers in a dilemma!
When he looked at Wu Shi Dao Chang again, he stood aside calmly, as if the embarrassing situation in front of him had nothing to do with him, giving people the illusion that he had no quarrel with the world.
Liu Wenyan and Wu Yan's eyes rolled from time to time, they couldn't understand the strange scene in front of them, it wasn't a complicated thing, how could it be so tricky?
Zhou Tong saw that the opportunity had come, so he pretended to cough to attract everyone's attention to himself, "The disciple is guilty, which makes it difficult for you to be uncles and uncles, the disciple has just come up with a better remedy, I don't know if to talk about it?"
The eyes of the Moon Viewing Daoist lit up, and he hurriedly spoke: "Hurry up and say it, and let your uncle and uncle present evaluate whether it is feasible." β
Wu Shi Dao Chang glanced at Zhou Tong and thought: Hmph, I see what tricks you can still toss! He didn't say anything against it, just waited to watch the show later.
Qianmu Daoist reminded with a smile: "Zhou Tong, you have to understand that you can't leave anything to chance, you have to know how to eat a trench and grow wise." Don't think about using trickery to get away with punishment, and avoid making mistakes next time. β
Zhou Tong nodded slightly gratefully, and then said, "Fellow uncles, if the disciple says that he has clearly remembered the contents of these damaged treasure books on the ground, and can completely copy them word by word, I don't know if it will be regarded as making up for it?"
"This ......" Daoist Qianmu couldn't help but groan, Daoist Guanyue listened to Zhou Tong's proposal, and the worry in his heart instantly alleviated a lot, but he was patient and didn't prepare to speak first.
Liu Wenyan and Wu Yan couldn't help but secretly praise Zhou Tong's stomach for being a little anxious, and the other Dao Masters began to exchange opinions in a low voice to discuss the feasibility of this proposal.
