The first thousand four hundred and thirty-four chapters convict
"That's enough! Xiao Mingyuan, this person is my subordinate. Since the matter happened to him, even the punishment should be handled by me personally."
Just as Xiao Mingyuan was approaching Zhao Jin step by step, Xiao Dingtian's impatient words finally came again. The low voice also caused the shouting voices of the people in the audience to weaken rapidly until they were completely silent. At this time, Zhao Jin also
The moment he heard the former's words, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and some rosiness finally returned to his gray face.
Xiao Mingyuan's eyes were fixed on Zhao Jin, and when he saw the latter's look of surviving a disaster, he smiled coldly and refused to give up:
"To tell you the truth, I don't quite believe what you said. If I leave it to you now, maybe you'll let him go if you turn around. The clan rules are still regarded as nothing, so why do you mention punishment and what's the point of fairness?"
"This is the Xiao Clan! As the leader of the Xiao Clan, I am in charge of internal and external affairs. How can I ignore the clan rules? If you don't believe me, you can just settle the matter here!"
Xiao Dingtian's old face sank. Although the former was a family elder, he was not afraid of it. If he had not been unreasonable in this matter, he would not have been in such a difficult situation.
Hearing this, Xiao Mingyuan raised his eyelids lightly, glanced at the latter, rolled his eyes, thoughts flashed through his mind quickly, and then glanced at the people present, and then said coldly:
"Okay, let's just discuss it here and come up with a result that satisfies everyone, so as not to create unnecessary complications."
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Dingtian secretly breathed a sigh of relief. A flash of light flashed deep in his old eyes. He raised his gaze lightly, glanced at Xiao Yan without trace, and then said slowly:
"Humph, that's it. In the final analysis of this matter, although Zhao Jin secretly ordered his clan members to invade the Ouyang family and violated clan rules, it is an unforgivable crime. However, in my opinion, the contribution that the Zhao family has made to the family in these years
, in the end, it is obvious to all. Although the merits are not worth the merit, the crime is not worthy of death. In this case, I will remove the identity of the elder of his family and remove all the authority of the Zhao family in Liyang City. In this way, can I still return the favor?
satisfy?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Jin's face turned pale. The former's move could be regarded as depriving the Zhao family of all sources of income. Although it was not fatal, in this central region with complicated forces, this was enough to make Zhao
The overall strength of the family dropped by several levels.
Such measures cannot be taken lightly!
Xiao Mingyuan couldn't help but feel surprised by this. I'm afraid such a decisive decision is not as simple and easy as it seems.
Sure enough, immediately after, Xiao Dingtian continued to speak, and his words successfully made Xiao Mingyuan, Xiao Yan and others change their expressions.
"Although the Zhao family was at fault for what happened today, it is undoubtedly true that Xiao Yan met with the eldest son of the Ouyang family privately. When discussing family rules, it is bound to be serious, but..."
Xiao Dingtian looked around the audience, and the words he uttered couldn't help but make Xiao Xuan and others' expressions tighten slightly. Then his eyes fell on Xiao Yan. The two looked at each other, and the former continued:
"As he is only a member of a foreign clan, there will be no further punishment for this fact. However, his formal joining of the clan will be postponed. You will not need to attend the clan meeting in six months."
"Buzz!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Xuan looked at Xiao Dingtian. Even the third elder Xiao Mingyuan also stared at the former with an unhappy expression. The expression on his face was quite ugly, and he said in a condensed voice:
"You don't distinguish between public and private matters! The so-called meeting with the eldest son of the Ouyang family is simply nonsense. It was just a chance encounter. How can it be true!"
"The third elder is wrong! If Xiao Yan's incident was purely accidental, then is it also an accident that the Zhao family started fighting against the Ouyang family? The third elder is so partial, I'm afraid it would be unfair if I entrusted him to you!"
Xiao Dingtian snorted righteously, and Xiao Mingyuan was immediately furious and speechless. The surrounding Xiao clan people also quietly discussed this again. On the other hand, Zhao Jin had an expression of gloating on his face at this moment.
.
Invisibly, under Xiao Dingtian's deliberate guidance, this matter has formed a favorable trend for him. If he is severely punished, Xiao Yan will definitely not be able to escape. But if Xiao Mingyuan wants to excuse the latter, then
Zhao Jin's punishment will be reduced.
Thinking of this, the expression on Xiao Mingyuan's face couldn't help but become even more ugly. He stared at Zhao Jin with his eyes filled with anger. At this time, how could he not know Xiao Dingtian's purpose?
If he speaks for Xiao Yan, the latter will definitely take the opportunity to exonerate Zhao Jin from his crimes. It can be said that honor and disgrace are mutually reinforcing between the two of them, and both suffer losses.
In this way, in the end, although Zhao Jin was inevitably going to suffer some pain, it was not painful or itchy. However, Xiao Yan had no connection with the clan association. The relationship between this was not insignificant.
"Haha, in the opinion of the elders, there is nothing wrong with such a conclusion. However, the junior and Ouyang Miao met at Beihai College, and they can be regarded as classmates. If this relationship is to be regarded as a crime, then everyone in the Xiao family
Are people who know the Ouyang family well, as well as the elders, including you, also implicated?"
However, at this moment, Xiao Yan, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke slowly with a smile on his face. As soon as he said this, everyone in the audience was shocked. Many people even looked at each other, feeling a little hesitant in their hearts.
Even Xiao Dingtian opened his mouth for a moment, a little speechless. After a while, he snorted coldly and said:
"Humph, you're a arrogant, sharp-tongued boy!"
"Since the elder mentioned this matter to the junior, Xiao Yanke has not refuted a word. Even the specific circumstances of the junior's meeting with Ouyang Miao were all said by the Zhao family head alone. Without any questioning, he insisted that Xiao Yan
Being related to the Ouyang family, I ordered the younger generation not to participate in the clan meeting. Do you think this is a punishment, or is it something the seniors did deliberately?"
Xiao Yan said with an indifferent expression.
"You...you are so bold! What qualifications does a mere foreigner have to speak to me like this?"
Xiao Dingqian's face trembled violently, and he shouted hoarsely, then he laughed angrily and said sternly:
"Okay, okay, since you want to participate in the clan meeting, I will give you this opportunity!"
"Tomorrow, Xiao Lei and Xiao Zhuobin, who have gone out for training, will return to the clan. If you can defeat them, I will never mention anything about the clan meeting. If you can't, then leave the Xiao clan!"
"good!"
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Mingyuan's expression suddenly changed slightly, but before he could explain it in detail to Xiao Yan, the latter blurted out and agreed to the former's agreement.
"I hope the elders will cherish their words like gold."
Xiao Yan pursed his lips and smiled at Xiao Dingtian.
"Hmph, let's wait until you win!"
Hearing this, Xiao Dingtian snorted coldly, didn't bother to pay attention anymore, turned around and was about to leave. The former suddenly spoke again and said jokingly:
"Elder, if you leave, what will happen to the Zhao family?"
"It's up to you!"
Xiao Dingtian waved his sleeves, turned around and left. On the same spot, a look of fear finally appeared on Zhao Jin's face.
