The traitors of the Liu family now lowered their heads and stopped talking.
Although they did not speak, it was obvious that they had admitted their crimes.
In fact, they knew exactly what they were doing. However, the fear of death still made them betray their family.
In their eyes, they had no choice at that time.
If they don't surrender to the other party as soon as possible, it may be too late by the time the war spreads to the Liu family, even if they want to surrender.
It is precisely because of this that when they had to make a choice, after some struggle, they finally chose to betray.
Now that Liu Tianzong said something, they felt even more ashamed.
Thinking that they had brought so much harm to their family, they were also feeling deep self-blame.
After all, they are the Liu family, and they have always lived in such an environment. Even if they have committed acts of betrayal, deep down in their hearts, they still have conscience.
"Now that you have admitted the mistakes you have committed, we have nothing more to say."
Liu Tianzong said calmly: "You people are also my family. Yu Qing, I should let you go and give you a chance to change your ways. But Yu Li, as the head of the Liu family, I must punish you according to the family rules.
You must admit when you make mistakes, and stand firm when you are beaten! This is the basic rule of life. Even if you have realized your mistakes now, I cannot withdraw the punishment for you because of your attitude! From now on, you will be at the Liu Family Headquarters,
Go work as a steward in shops across the Yuliu Kingdom."
After hearing this, everyone's faces changed, and their expressions became a little painful.
To work as a steward in shops across the country is equivalent to being expelled from the Liu family.
For those who have been working at the Liu family headquarters, this kind of devolution is undoubtedly a very harsh punishment. From now on, they will be far away from the center of power of the Liu family and become neglected and useless people with no future.
However, they can still accept this kind of punishment.
After all, what they committed was a serious crime of betraying the family.
Although the management of a shop is indeed decentralized, you can still be regarded as a shop owner. With the strength and status of the Liu family, the shop under your name will certainly not be that kind of small shop. As a boss there, you can’t see much future, but you still have to come.
It is said that there is no problem in ensuring that one has enough food and clothing and a prosperous life.
I originally thought I might die here, but this kind of punishment is already the greatest tolerance for people like them.
"etc!"
Just when everyone had accepted the result of this punishment, an unbelievable voice suddenly came out from the group of people kneeling on the ground: "Brother Tianzong, am I going to be exiled too?"
Hearing this voice, the corners of Qin Yi's mouth turned up slightly.
He originally thought that this scene was almost over before it even started, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Fortunately, in the end, the other party did not disappoint him after all!
The person who spoke was none other than Liu Tianci who was kneeling at the front of the team. He looked at Liu Tianzong in surprise and asked, "Brother Tianzong, am I going to be demoted too?"
When Liu Tianzong heard this, he immediately frowned and asked, "Liu Tianci, are you dissatisfied with the result of my punishment?"
"Of course I'm not satisfied!"
Liu Tianci waved his hand and said: "How can we be the same as them?"
"If you say so..."
When Liu Tianzong heard this, he pondered for a moment, and then said, "You are indeed different from them."
"I'll just say it."
Liu Tianci laughed, and his tense expression became more relaxed: "How can we get the same punishment as them?"
As he spoke, he was ready to stand up.
Obviously, in his eyes, he himself has reformed. During this period, he also reformed his past mistakes and helped Qin Yi and others.
Even if someone like him needs to be punished, it should not be the same as these traitors.
In his eyes, he already showed signs of correction, and the most he could do was to make some simple adjustments and then let him shut up and think about it for a while.
It is precisely because of this mentality that he seems to be particularly relaxed, and he no longer even regards himself as a guilty person.
"Kneel down! Who told you to stand up!"
But before he could stand up, a sharp shout accompanied by huge pressure forced him to the ground.
"Brother Tianzong, you have already said that I am different from them, why are you still treating me like this?"
Liu Tianci was deeply puzzled by Liu Tianzong's sudden change of attitude.
"You are different from them, indeed!"
Liu Tianzong's voice was cold and he said: "Liu Tianci, are you my elder brother? Your status in the family should be high, right? As my elder brother, you should know the rules of the Liu family better than I do, right?"
When my Liu family was in trouble, not only did I get no help from you, my brother, but you actually stabbed me in the back? You also cooperated with Lu Yuanlong and arranged for people to monitor me in my other courtyard? So,
Your sins are indeed much deeper than theirs!"
When Liu Tianci heard that Liu Tianzong's words were different from what he had imagined, he quickly explained: "But, I have already changed my ways? I have been cooperating with you during this time, right? Anyway,
I don’t have any merit, but I also have hard work, right?”
"Rehabilitation?"
Liu Tianzong's face suddenly showed a contemptuous sneer, and then he said: "Do you know what it means to reform? It means that you took the initiative to stand up and admit your mistakes before we discovered your crime.
Then try your best to make up for it. This is how to reform. You were caught on the spot by us. In order to prevent yourself from being killed and severely punished, you did not hesitate to betray again and even confessed all the traitors you knew. Do you think
, is this kind of behavior called reforming? Wrong! You call it a last resort! You still do this kind of behavior in front of Qin Yi and the others, you are discrediting my Liu family! "
"Brother Tianzong...that's not right...the head of the family..."
Liu Tianci was a little incoherent at this moment. He looked at Liu Tianzong and said: "If you say that, I can't help it, but I am also your clan brother. Can't you let me go for the sake of our blood relationship?"
This time?"
Liu Tianzong took a deep breath, as if he was making up his mind. Finally, he looked at Liu Tianci with a cold look in his eyes, and said, "No!"
