Puyang Hongjun stood on the high platform in front of the ancestral hall, watching several elders of the clan and people from various branches carrying their baggage and hurriedly leaving in the direction of the secret passage they chose. There was a flash in his eyes.
Apart from the grief of loss, there is also a feeling of gloom and coldness.
He turned around and strode into the ancestral hall, knelt there, offered a stick of incense to his ancestors, and said in a deep voice: "Hongjun, the thirteenth generation great-great-grandson of Puyang, would like to inform all ancestors that it is not Hongjun who is incompetent.
For a long time, the deacons and elders in the clan have had different ideas and lost their original stance and unity, causing the clan to be torn apart. Hong Jun's various mediations have not been able to achieve effective changes. Moreover, the three elders are in the same lineage, and they are colluding with outsiders.
, regardless of the reputation of the clan, and almost brought shame to the clan. Although it has been rectified, the elders who participated in it are unwilling to lead their descendants to leave the clan, and they have reactivated the people who have been condemned.
Forbidden secret passage jacket, Hong Jun hereby informs all ancestors that according to the clan rules and ancestral instructions, anyone who secretly uses the forbidden secret passage without the consent of the clan leader and leaves the clan due to selfish desires will be regarded as a traitor.
Clan members, at this point, the lives and deaths of all traitors have nothing to do with our clan, I hope all ancestors will know this."
After kowtowing three more times, he stood up, strode out of the gate of the ancestral hall, drew his sword from his waist, raised it high, and said loudly: "All members of the Puyang clan obey the order and let all those who leave the clan on their own go."
People cannot be stopped from leaving their clan territory; from the moment they enter the secret path, they will no longer have any relationship with their clan."
"I obey the clan chief's order!" No less than 200 clan members standing below the ancestral hall responded respectfully and loudly.
Those who had walked far away looked back when they heard the sound, and some even laughed at these people, not knowing whether to live or die.
When the last of them entered the secret passage, a tribesman immediately rushed out, restarted the mechanism of the secret passage, and closed the opened secret passage door.
Everyone who enters the secret passage understands that there is no way out and they can only move forward.
Puyang Hongjun then commanded the remaining members of the clan and began to clear out the residences of those who had left and were originally not part of their faction.
Not to mention, we actually found dozens of old, weak, sick, disabled, women and children, all of whom were abandoned by those people.
Puyang Hongjun understands that among these people, there are those who think the same as those who left, but they were abandoned because of their inconvenience. Since he has decided to clean up, there is no need to help those who have other ideas.
These people's ideas about what kind of old people to raise and what kind of children to adopt are no longer consistent with theirs. He doesn't want this hidden danger. Not only will it be irresponsible for him and his tribe, but he will also let down Su Hanhe who is guarding the outside.
Everything Xiao Muting did for him.
He waved his hand lightly, and the tribesmen lifted, helped, and dragged the people to the ground. They drove the people out of the tribe and ignored their wails and curses, watching them interact with each other.
He was helped up to the suspension bridge.
The dozen or so old people who got on the bridge stopped when they reached the middle of the bridge, pointed in the direction of their tribe and started shouting curses.
They were too far away to hear what was being said, but they still couldn't relax before they all crossed the suspension bridge. The tribesmen were watching them with full vigilance.
Fu Yu said loudly: "You don't have to be unwilling, let alone unconvinced. If you have grievances, just complain to your own clan elders. They are the ones who abandoned you. It was not the clan leader who betrayed the clan first.
You, there is no need to shout anymore, our clan leader doesn’t owe you anything, but it’s you people who are so ambitious and dissatisfied that you want to destroy our clan, now this is your retribution.”
Fulang, who was standing next to her, smiled and said, "Can they really hear you?"
"Whether they listen or not is their business, and whether they talk or not is my business. That's the way it is. These people should no longer be retained. The patriarch is wise, otherwise, these people will also subvert our clan."
Fu Yu curled her lips and said.
"Just them, the old ones, the young ones, plus half the women?" Fulang asked in disapproval.
Fu Yu chuckled: "Don't underestimate the old and the young. The young must be trained by the old. These old people will instill whatever beliefs they have in the young, and the young will be imprinted in their minds. As long as the patriarch
If anything goes against these people's minds, they will definitely hate the clan leader and us. When they gain some ability, they will definitely bite us back. And those women, if they are cruel, they will be enough for us to drink.
One pot, I advise you, don’t underestimate women, otherwise you will suffer a big loss, think about the clan leader’s adopted sister, Princess Chen, and the Cangluan Army beside her, and you will understand.”
Fulang immediately shook her head and waved her hands: "Don't talk nonsense. I have never underestimated them. You must not talk nonsense."
Fu Yu laughed out loud, and then Fulu behind him pointed at the suspension bridge and said loudly: "Look, it's foggy..."
After Fu Yu immediately looked over, her face changed greatly, and she pulled the few people who were still standing by the bridge to retreat, and at the same time shouted loudly: "Everyone, please retreat to the mountain gate of the clan, don't show your head rashly... Mr. Xiao Hei, come down
Already..."
Everyone quickly retreated and reached the mountain gate. They all hid inside, but they all stretched out their heads to look curiously.
The thick fog rose very quickly, and soon the entire middle section of the suspension bridge was submerged, making it impossible to see what was going on there.
However, several people all heard the screams and exclamations coming from the bridge, and even the sounds of children crying.
After half an hour, after the thick fog dissipated, in addition to a dozen women on the bridge, there were only four children in their arms. They all sat on the suspension bridge and forgot to even cry.
.
The few old people and people with physical disabilities who had been scolding on the bridge were all gone.
"This is Your Excellency Xiaohei's guardianship. How could it let these ungrateful people leave?" Fu Yu thought of what Su Han said at that time.
"But aren't there people on this bridge?" Fulu pointed to the bridge.
"Your Excellency Xiaohei is very moral. Naturally, he will not harm women and children. I think he will let them go, but it may not be certain whether they can continue to live." Fu Yuyi pointed.
.
"Why?" Fulu asked again.
But Fu Yu didn't answer. He stood up straight and waved to them: "Go back."
The officers and soldiers guarding the secret passages outside the mountain almost all gained.
When these people came out of the secret passage, they saw the officers and soldiers guarding the entrance of the cave. None of them reacted. They originally wanted to retreat into the cave, but when they thought about the stone door that had been closed again, they even had it in their hands.
Even if they have tools, they may not be able to dig a hole even if they dig for five years. What's more, they don't have any tools in their hands now, and the rations they bring are less than three days' worth. If they are trapped in this hole,
, I will starve to death without anyone else taking action.
At this point, the elders who took the lead finally understood why Puyang Hongjun did not stop them from leaving the clan. It turned out that he had known for a long time that they could not escape at all, and after this incident, the intention to rebel against the clan that could be concealed before was now
Everything has been exposed, and it is impossible to go back.
Su Han was sitting in the Grand Master's chair in Fengyu Village Square, crossing her legs and looking at the fourth elder who was being escorted to kneel in front of her. She couldn't help but sneered: "Congratulations, you finally escaped from the clan and can ascend to heaven."
"Please have mercy, Princess..." the fourth elder shouted while lying on the ground.
"If you are still in Fengzui Mountain, these words can really save your life. With the protection of the Puyang clan chief, I will not be able to go into the mountain to catch you. The chance of survival has been given to you, but you
But you don't appreciate it and instead throw yourself into a trap. Who can blame you? It's just that you don't have the destiny to be an official." Su Han said mockingly.
After the fourth elder was stunned for a moment, he looked up to the sky and screamed, then fainted and fell to the ground. He finally understood Puyang Hongjun's painstaking efforts, but it was too late.
