"As the Great Elder said, I won't hide it from you anymore. You can tell me what you want about my widowed fifth daughter having an affair with someone and having a child." Immediately afterwards, the Second Elder stood up and said slowly.
.
After saying that, he also knelt down facing Diane Chesar and said, "Please punish the saint."
Hearing this, everyone was shocked again, and the third elder was even more shocked and turned pale.
The fifth elder looked at the first elder and the second elder, and then looked at Diane Snowsall, but the three of them all looked at her as if they had agreed upon it, waiting for her to speak.
Forget it, she had aided the tyrants in the past, and she had to give an explanation. Moreover, the first elder and the second elder had already said it, so she had no choice but to say it.
Then, the fifth elder also stood up and knelt on the ground.
"I... I cooperated with the third elder because I had an affair... with another man. She saw it and threatened me. I am... at the disposal of the saint." The fifth elder lowered his head in shame.
His eyes were red and he said in a stammering voice.
Although they had just heard two bombshells, everyone was still shocked. They did not expect that the fifth elder would still have an affair at such an old age.
After saying that, the fifth elder did not dare to look at the expressions of the others. Instead, he looked at the third elder and said, "Whatever you want to say, just say it. I won't be afraid of you anymore."
After listening to the fifth elder's words, the third elder's face turned pale, and his waist suddenly became rickets.
"Holy Maiden, my subordinates are guilty," the eighth elder then knelt down with a plop, "some time ago, the third elder gave me ten thousand taels of gold and asked me to cooperate with her. I am obsessed with money, so I agreed to her
I haven't touched any of those gold pieces yet. Tomorrow, I will hand them over to the saint."
"Holy girl, my subordinates are guilty..." Immediately afterwards, the Sixth Elder, the Seventh Elder and the Tenth Elder also knelt down, "We should not be deceived by the words of the Third Elder and help others do evil."
The Fourth Elder and the Ninth Elder looked at the people who were kneeling, and then they also stood up and knelt down silently, "Holy Girl, this subordinate doesn't really listen to the third elder's sweet words, and went into trouble with her. Please forgive me for the Holy Lady."
Diane Snowsall glanced at the people kneeling on the ground, and then looked at the third elder: "Third elder, what else do you have to say now? Don't the words of the nine elders prove what I just said? And those
Gold is physical evidence."
"..." The third elder seemed to be stupid, kneeling on the spot, and then suddenly smiled miserably, "I have lost power now, and everyone is here to add insult to injury. I have nothing to say. I will let you do whatever you want. But I am responsible for all this.
It has nothing to do with my family."
"Whether it has anything to do with your family, I will find out on my own, so you don't have to worry." Diane Snow said calmly.
"..." The third elder's eyes opened for a moment, a flash of despair flashed in his eyes, he opened his mouth, but in the end said nothing.
"Third Elder, I will give you another chance. If you honestly confess the crimes you have committed, I can give you a lighter sentence. If you don't confess and I find out on your own, then don't blame me for falling out.
It’s so heartless.” Diane Chesar said coldly.
"...As I said before, my subordinates are acting in accordance with the rules of the temple and have nothing to explain." The third elder said with a frown.
"Well, in that case, Ninth Elder, I will leave these matters to you to verify. After verification, you and the First Elder will agree on the punishment for the Third Elder and report it to me." Diane Xuesar.
