At this time, a small square in front of Chu's house was very lively.
Thousands of ordinary people were gathered there, and there were many soldiers in armor around them to maintain order.
"What's going on?"
Lu Tianlong asked curiously.
The leader of the Chu family quickly replied: "That's right. Every time our Chu family catches someone from the Huangfu family, we have to conduct a public trial."
"The trial process is also very simple, just let them reveal their accomplices and then execute them."
Public trial?
Lu Tianlong frowned slightly.
He personally participated in the previous battle between the Huangfu family and the Chu family, and even determined the entire battle.
In that battle, the Huangfu family suffered heavy losses. Emperor Huangfu fell directly, and there were not many holy realm experts left in the Huangfu family.
Later, the Chu family arranged for people to raid the Huangfu family, almost causing the entire Huangfu family to completely disappear.
It is no exaggeration to say that even if there are still remaining members of the Huangfu family outside, they are not enough to cause any trouble.
A public trial and then execution in public made Lu Tianlong feel a little uncomfortable.
After all, the former Ice Dragon God, the daughter of Emperor Huangfu, once had a relationship with her father, Lu Wuxie.
There is nothing wrong with eradicating the roots, but under the current circumstances, it is somewhat unjustifiable to treat people from the Huangfu family so cruelly.
"Tell me, how many accomplices do you have and where are they now?"
While Lu Tianlong was thinking, a roar suddenly came from ahead.
In the square in front of the Chu family, a temporary stage was set up. On the stage, two sturdy men were interrogating a member of the Huangfu family.
It was the woman Lu Tianlong saw on the road just now.
At this time, she was tied to a pillar, with many wounds all over her body, and blood was dripping continuously.
She seemed to have fallen into a coma, her head drooped to the side, and she looked very weak.
One of the burly men, holding a black whip in his hand, was beating the girl hard.
When the whip fell on the body, the skin and flesh were torn apart, which was very shocking to see.
"good!"
"well played!"
"Beat him to death, there are no good people in the Huangfu family!"
Below, the people were all cheering, and every whip struck on the girl's body made them extra excited.
Lu Tianlong took a gentle breath, and then slowly spit it out.
To be honest, he didn't quite agree with this sadistic trial, of course, mainly because the Huangfu family was no longer a threat.
The Chu family has slowly risen and the Huangfu family has finished. It is really unnecessary to treat their people like this now.
The Huangfu family had been declared disbanded before, and most people had no intention of revenge. Anyone who caught them could just behead them. There was really no need to do that.
But to another extent, Lu Tianlong can also understand their thoughts.
Before, under the oppression of the Huangfu family, the entire Chu family was almost destroyed. Now that they have finally won, it's okay to vent their anger.
"Let's go."
Lu Tianlong did not look at the situation on the stage anymore and turned towards the Chu family.
The Chu family was relatively calm, except that there were more than a dozen people sitting there in the hall, all of whom were senior members of the Chu family.
Sitting in the middle is a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, who is somewhat similar to Lu Tianlong's grandfather. He is the acting head of the Chu family and is Lu Tianlong's grandfather's cousin.
Chu Haocheng! "Tianlong!"
Seeing Lu Tianlong walking in, Chu Haocheng was very enthusiastic. He walked over quickly and grabbed Lu Tianlong's hand with an unconcealable smile on his face.
"Tianlong, you are finally here. We have been waiting for a long time."
"Come on, come on, everyone, take a look. This is my good nephew. He has directly killed strong men who have passed the imperial realm before."
"Needless to say anything else, our Chu family's current situation depends entirely on Tianlong."
He took Lu Tianlong's hand and excitedly introduced it to the rest of the Chu family.
He is really very enthusiastic. Looking at it like this, it seems that Lu Tianlong is his nephew.
"Report!"
Before Lu Tianlong could reply, a member of the Chu family suddenly ran in from outside.
"Master, that woman is dying. She can't say anything anymore. Now she is breathing her last breath."
He was talking about the girl who was being interrogated in the square outside just now. She was originally very weak. After undergoing various tortures, she is no longer able to survive.
"kindness."
Chu Haocheng didn't take it to heart at all. He waved his hand casually and said: "If you die, just die. Throw it into the wilderness outside to feed those ferocious beasts."
"yes!"
The subordinate immediately agreed and ran out quickly, as if he was used to this.
"Tianlong, come on, let's sit inside and have a little chat first. I'll arrange a banquet for you tonight."
Chu Haocheng was not affected in any way and still enthusiastically took Lu Tianlong's hand and walked inside.
"Mr. Chu."
Lu Tianlong stood still, thinking for a moment, and finally decided to start.
Chu Haocheng is my grandfather's cousin, and he is also an elder, so he still deserves the respect he deserves.
He bent down slightly and said: "Mr. Chu, I am not pleading for the people of the Huangfu family. I just think that it is not necessary to treat them so cruelly now?"
Torture is not included, but after the crime is over, they are thrown into the wilderness to be fed to ferocious beasts. This is really inhumane.
"kindness?"
Chu Haocheng didn't seem to expect that Lu Tianlong would say such a thing.
"Tianlong, what you said is wrong. Emperor Huangfu wanted to destroy our Chu family before. He was so cruel."
"There are still people in the Huangfu family who are still evil-minded and want to take revenge. No matter what means are used to deal with them, it is only natural."
As soon as he finished speaking, many people below agreed, thinking that Chu Haocheng was right.
Lu Tianlong smiled and said: "I am not excusing the people of the Huangfu family. If there are still people among them who want revenge, we can naturally deal with them."
"But as far as I know, many people from the Huangfu family have followed Emperor Huangfu's daughter and left the land near the sea directly, and ended up in the wilderness outside."
"So there should be very few Huangfu family members who still want revenge."
"There's no need to torture them like this."
Chu Haocheng's expression slowly changed, making people look a little cold.
"Tianlong, although you have helped the Chu family, you are a junior after all. If you say so, I must teach you a few words."
"The Huangfu family was once the great enemy of my Chu family. I have only one word for their remnants."
"I would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go!"
