Chapter six hundred and seventy first to be fair (finally)
Su Mingli took a deep look at Su Mingqi. Now he finally knew what it means to bite a dog and stop barking.
Su Mingqi had endured this for such a long time, even when he was enforcing family law against him in the law enforcement hall, he didn't refute a word and just let it go. However, now that he found an opportunity, he was forced into a corner by Su Mingli with just one sentence.
After being the head of the family for so long, Su Mingli has actually improved a lot now.
After all, those who can cultivate to the Fusion of God realm are not fools. They may have different personalities, but their learning ability is very strong.
At least Su Mingli is much better now than when Su Xin first met him. If Su Mingli wants to deal with Su Xin again at this time, he will not use such inefficient and extremely risky methods.
Because of this, Su Mingli also understood that this matter was indeed Su Zhongyuan's fault. At the same time, he secretly cursed Su Zhongyuan as an idiot in his heart.
The last act of forcibly integrating various major sects and aristocratic families was originally done by Su Zhongyuan. As a result, the entire Beiyuan Dao and the Dugu clan joined forces, and they were coerced and suppressed by Su Xin.
In the end, he didn't expect that Su Zhongyuan would be such an idiot, and now he came up with the idea of going to various aristocratic sects to collect offerings.
What is the difference between this kind of thing and the forced recruitment of those sects? It's just that one is in place at once, while the other is just boiling a frog in warm water. Neither one of them is acceptable to those sects.
Therefore, what Su Chongying and others did was not wrong. If they really went, they would cause trouble for the Su family.
But now Su Mingqi has a determined look on his face. If Su Mingli doesn't speak, he really dares to take people down the mountain to force those families and sects to hand over their offerings. But in this way, the Su family will have to face the entire Beiyuan again.
All martial arts forces join forces to fight against each other.
In desperation, Su Mingli had no choice but to glare at Su Zhongyuan fiercely, then coughed twice and said: "It is indeed Su Zhongyuan who did something wrong in this matter. What Chongying and the others did was right. Not only should they not be punished, they should also be rewarded.
In this way, each of you will go to the elixir hall to receive half a year's elixir as compensation, and you don't have to worry about Su Zhongyuan retaliating against you. If Su Zhongyuan dares to attack you in the future, you can come directly to me and tell me, I guarantee that he will.
Teach him a lesson."
Su Zhongyuan wanted to say something, but Su Mingli glared back.
It's just that the direct bloodlines of the Su family feel very humiliated. When will they bow to these collateral bloodlines? This is something that has not happened in tens of thousands of years!
Moreover, Su Mingqi and others are also very dissatisfied with the result of Su Mingli's handling. This is just like mud. You just said this and the matter passed easily?
The monthly elixir salary for these collateral bloodlines is very low. Even if it is a one-time compensation of half a year, how much is it?
And the most important thing was that Su Mingli's last words made them ridicule in their hearts.
After this incident, if Su Zhongyuan wants revenge, will he come to you? At that time, you may not care whether you will.
Those direct bloodlines just now were about to capture Su Mingqi regardless of whether they were right or wrong. If Su Mingqi hadn't called all the collateral bloodlines here, I'm afraid he would have entered the Law Enforcement Hall again.
Next time there won't be such a good opportunity to find so many collateral bloodlines to unite, won't it be up to you then?
So Su Mingqi said directly: "We appreciate the kindness of the family leader, but this time we just want the ancestor to give us fair treatment and justice."
Su Mingli looked gloomy and said, "Don't what I say work?"
Su Mingqi's expression remained unchanged and he said: "The words of the head of the family are of course effective, but let's ask the ancestor to make the decision."
No one in the entire Su family knows that the only person in the Su family who really speaks the truth is the Su family ancestor. Even the head of the Su family, Su Mingli, speaks in vain.
But it was quite embarrassing for Su Mingli to say this kind of thing in public.
The most important thing is that now these collateral bloodlines are not afraid of rabbits and eagles, and they still have to meet the ancestors of the Su family before they dare to let go.
"My ancestor is in seclusion to recuperate, how can I see you?"
Su Mingqi said calmly: "We don't want to see the ancestor directly. We just need to tell the ancestor about this matter and get a promise from the ancestor."
Su Mingli thought for a while, then said with a gloomy face: "Okay, okay, I will take you to see the ancestor and see what the ancestor will say then!"
Then Su Mingli snorted coldly and led people directly to the place where the ancestor of the Su family was recovering from his injuries.
Su Mingli is now the head of the family. This kind of thing never happened when Su Mingyuan was the head of the family.
As a result, now that he has caused such a big incident after he became the head of the family, will the ancestor of the Su family think that he has low ability and is not suitable for the position of the head of the family?
Su Mingli thought bitterly, but he could only take them to see the ancestor of the Su family.
After all, the matter was too big today. If he suppressed it forcefully, once these collateral bloodline rebelled, it would be a disaster for the Su family.
The place where the ancestors of the Su family retreated was actually on a cliff.
The entire top of Wutong Mountain has been bulldozed by the former Wutong Village, leaving only a cliff. This is also the place with the strongest vitality of the entire Wutong Mountain. The ancestor of the Su family dug a cave here and spent the whole day there.
I retreat here to recuperate.
Arriving in front of the cliff, Su Mingli said loudly: "Ancestor, there is something in the clan that needs you to decide."
In fact, this was not the first time that Su Mingli came to see the ancestor of the Su family when he was in retreat for healing.
After all, the ancestor of the Su family now has a unique position in the Su family. Any important matters in the Su family need to be reported to him first, so that Su Mingli is qualified to actually carry out the matter.
The ancestor of the Su family also knew this, so even when he was in seclusion, he did not immerse himself in it. Instead, he left some of his mind outside so that he could deal with it if something big happened.
"Tell me what happened."
The ancestor of the Su family spoke slowly, and the voice came out from the cliff. Through the echo, it seemed to penetrate into everyone's minds. Even Su Mingqi and others couldn't help but knelt down on one knee and saluted the ancestor of the Su family.
.
Su Mingli stood up and slowly told the ancestors of the Su family about the situation at that time. Moreover, since there were so many people here, Su Mingli did not lie. He just told the original scene unchanged.
Anyway, so many people were watching what happened in the first place, so it would be meaningless for him to add fuel to the fire.
The ancestor of the Su family sighed after hearing this, but the eyes of Su Mingqi and others showed a look of hope.
Now, as soon as the ancestor of the Su family opens his mouth, the status of these collateral bloodlines in the Su family will immediately change.
The majestic voice of the ancestor of the Su family came out, and he shouted softly: "What nonsense! You don't even look at what time it is, you know it's nonsense!
Now that our Su family is in crisis, we should work together to overcome this crisis, but what else do you do besides messing around here?
Su Chongyuan, it was because of you last time that all the major families in Beiyuan Dao joined forces to intimidate my Su family, and now you dare to make trouble here, do you want to put my Su family to death?"
There was a hint of dissatisfaction on Su Zhongyuan's face. Can he be entirely blamed for what happened last time? If other direct bloodlines of the Su family hadn't seen him getting benefits and took action together, how could there have been such a big commotion?
Moreover, the ancestor of the Su family actually used his life as a bet last time, which made Su Chongyuan feel extremely angry.
However, he did not dare to be even the slightest bit presumptuous when facing the ancestor of the Su family, so he could only lower his head and listen to the reprimand of the ancestor of the Su family.
With a cold snort, the ancestor of the Su family said calmly: "From now on, when I am in seclusion, all matters of the Su family will be decided by the head of the family. Anyone who has anything must report it to the head of the family as soon as possible. Anyone who dares to make decisions without authorization will not be severely punished.
loan!
This is the second time Su Zhongyuan has committed a crime, so this time he must be punished, seal his inner strength, and go to the Law Enforcement Hall to receive a hundred canings. If he dares to commit the crime again, his martial arts will be abolished and he will be imprisoned for life!"
Su Zhongyuan's face suddenly turned pale. This punishment was not light for him.
He is not a body-refining warrior, and the Su family has several kinds of floggings. With the inner strength sealed, several of them can directly inflict serious injuries on him!
Although the ancestor of the Su family did not say what kind of whip to use, the whips in the Su family law enforcement hall are all specially made and specially prepared for Su family disciples who have made mistakes.
Since the ancestor of the Su family didn't have any type of whip, he would use the default steel whip to beat him instead of using the fire-patterned steel whip like he used to beat Su Mingqi.
But even so, Su Zhongyuan's whole body trembled. That was a hundred lashes. It is estimated that after the beating, he would need to rest for several months before he could recover.
He wanted to refute, but the power of the ancestor of the Su family was unparalleled in the Su family. Su Zhongyuan could only say respectfully to the ancestor of the Su family: "Zhongyuan knows he made a mistake and will never do it again in the future."
Su Zhongyuan's heart was filled with hatred, but Su Mingqi and Su Mingli were very happy.
The reason why Su Mingli was happy was that the ancestor of the Su family finally chose to delegate power.
You must know that according to the Su family's ancestor's past virtues, he must still hold on to the power in his hands, and he will definitely not hand it over so easily.
But he may also have discovered that he has to cultivate and take charge of family affairs at the same time, which will delay both sides and affect the authority of the family leader, so at this moment he really wants to delegate power.
In fact, the ancestor of the Su family also had some regrets.
If he had delegated all the power to Su Mingyuan so that Su Zhongyuan and others did not dare to act recklessly, then with the restraint of Su Mingyuan as the head of the family, they probably would not dare to act recklessly.
But now it's too late, things have already happened, and the Su family's vitality has been greatly damaged because of it, so now the ancestors of the Su family are doing their best to make up for it.
