Killing an elder in public in the meeting hall was something that Blood Shadow had never encountered in tens of thousands of years.
After all, although the Zhang Clan and Xu Clan had fought openly and covertly in the past, their strength was about the same. No one had the confidence to take down the other.
They had only fought on a small scale, so it was the first time that the other's second-in-command had been dragged down.
Xu Qinghe asked, "Shadow Master, how should we deal with this sinner's corpse?"
"How did you deal with such situations in the past?"
Xu Qinghe answered, "In the past, there were elders who committed all kinds of evil, and they were all executed in public outside the south gate of Blood Shadow City.
Those who committed the most heinous crimes and stirred up the crowd's emotions would have their corpses displayed outside the city. "
Zhou Luan nodded. "Let's do it according to the rules and leave it to the Punishment Hall.
The most important thing now is to make up for the lost assets and compensate for the losses of the disciples. "
All the elders agreed.
Zhou Luan left the meeting hall and walked towards the Zhou Clan's small courtyard.
After entering the courtyard, she activated the formation and laughed. "Zhang Dingming, that old fellow, has finally suffered a loss. Zhang Dingyi said that he gave a lot of the spirit stones he stole to the Zhang Clan, and Zhang Dingming took a lot.
He was about to say that it was Zhang Dingming who helped to suppress the news of Zeng Qiu's entire clan.
I didn't expect this old fellow to be so decisive and kill Zhang Dingyi in the meeting hall with one palm.
He even promised to return the spirit stones to the treasury in exchange for us not to kill them all.
According to the sect rules, Zhang Dingyi's corpse should be displayed outside the city. "
Wang Daoyuan smiled. "I didn't expect that the first step would have such a good effect.
The Zhang Clan losing control of the Finance Hall is like losing an arm.
Zhang Mengguang's betrayal can be considered a split in the Zhang Clan.
Now that he killed Zhang Dingyi with his own hands, he doesn't have any prestige left.
The Xu Clan will definitely direct the anger of the Blood Shadow disciples to the Zhang Clan and Zhang Dingming when Zhang Dingyi's corpse is displayed.
Now, the Zhang Clan is half crippled. Zhang Dingming won't dare to be arrogant in front of you anymore. "
"What should we do next? We can't just let Zhang Dingming go like this, right? "
Wang Daoyuan thought for a while and asked, "Does Blood Shadow have a Grand Elder?"
"Yes, but there haven't been any Yuanying cultivators in the past ten thousand years, so there are very few Grand Supreme Elders.
Their authority is about the same as the Grand Elders of other forces. They don't care about daily affairs, but they can still make decisions on important matters. "
"Then does the Grand Elder have more power than the Shadow Lord?"
"Of course not. The Shadow Master's authority is supreme.
If I wasn't worried about the negative impact, I could make any decision on my own.
The Grand Elder's position was only the highest when there was no Shadow Lord.
Moreover, when making a decision, he can't bypass the First Elder. He's far worse than the Shadow Lord. "
Wang Daoyuan smiled and said, "Then let him be the Grand Elder."
Zhou Luan subconsciously objected, "How can that be? Isn't this helping him raise his status? "
Wang Daoyuan lightly knocked on Imperial Court's head. "You've been smart all your life, but now you're stupid.
The Grand Elder only has the authority to make decisions on important matters. You, the Shadow Lord, can't use him.
The Grand Elder also doesn't have the authority to manage personnel. This is making him a mere figurehead. "
Before he finished speaking, he felt his legs being hugged.
He looked down and saw the two little guys, Wang Mingren and Wang Mingxian.
Wang Mingxian said, "You're not allowed to bully Mother."
Wang Mingren was still holding his peach wood sword. "If you bully Mother again, I'll help Mother beat you."
Zhou Luan was full of smiles. "You have a conscience and know how to help your mother.
You two continue to cultivate. We're not fighting. We're just joking. "
Only then did the two little guys let go of Wang Daoyuan's legs and go back to their own business.
Zhou Luan continued, "Then we'll do as you said. Let Zhang Dingming be the Grand Supreme Elder.
In the future, he won't have the authority to manage the affairs of the Blood Shadow and can only be a decoration.
If we do this, the Grand Elder will be vacant, and the Treasury Hall will also be short of manpower. Who will take over? "
Arranging personnel was also a skill that involved the balance of the various factions.
However, the Xu family's attention was mainly on the Yan Kingdom, so there was no need to give the Xu family any high positions.
After all, the Xu family now controlled the Punishment Hall. If they were given a high position, it would be difficult to get rid of them.
"The Grand Elder will naturally be Zhang Yue. Xu Qinghe will be the Second Elder. It's better to let Cao Jing fill in for the Third Elder.
Cao Jing used to be in charge of the mines. His original position will be taken over by a member of the Xu family.
As for the Treasury Hall, let Zhang Mengguang be the Elder of the Treasury.
He doesn't have the support of the Zhang family now, but his surname is Zhang, so others will alienate him.
If he wants to survive, he can only rely on you, the Shadow Lord.
This kind of lonely official is the best confidant.
Wu Jun will be the Grand Chief. This is also a sign of goodwill to the Wu family. I hope Wu Xiang, the Blood Wolf's Chief, can express his goodwill. "
Zhou Luan nodded her head in satisfaction. "If that's the case, the three elders who have decision-making power are all our people.
The Punishment Hall and the Treasury Hall, the two most important institutions, also listen to me. The Zhang family is just a figurehead? "
Wang Daoyuan shook his head. "It's not that easy. The upper level is a figurehead, but the Zhang family has a foundation of tens of thousands of years. There are many members of the Zhang family in each branch.
Even at the Blood Shadow headquarters, the ones in charge of the forest and pills are still members of the Zhang family.
This time, the Zhang family has suffered heavy losses. Don't be in a hurry to continue.
Otherwise, if we push Zhang Dingming too far, there will be a big problem.
If we exert a little pressure on the Zhang family, the non-direct descendants of the Zhang family will have other ideas.
Zhang family members like Zhang Mengguang, who are bullied by the Zhang family's direct descendants, will probably have other ideas.
When the Zhang family's internal conflicts erupt, we'll pull them in and beat them up.
A Zhang Dingming with no real power can no longer control the Zhang family. "
"In terms of treachery and cunning, I'm far inferior to you. We'll do as you say.
I want to see what kind of expression Zhang Dingming will have when the time comes. "
Half a month later, the compensation from the Zhang family arrived, and the investigation of the Punishment Hall was more or less finished.
Zhou Luan came to the Conference Hall and summoned all the elders in the headquarters who were free for a meeting.
The upper level of Blood Shadow had undergone a huge change. Now, most of the troublesome matters had been dealt with. The next step was to adjust personnel.
In other words, the Zhang family would cut the meat, while the Xu family and the non-direct descendants would eat the meat.
At a time like this, naturally, everyone was eager to participate.
All the Golden Core elders in Blood Shadow, regardless of their seniority or power, came to the Conference Hall.
Zhou Luan didn't beat around the bush. "Zhang Dingyi embezzled his salary, misappropriated the spirit stones in the treasury, and even wiped out the entire family of the Gold Mountain branch's Deputy Hall Master.
This matter involves a lot of people, but I don't plan to pursue it.
Zhang Dingming was the Grand Elder and Zhang Dingyi's eldest brother, but he failed to stop it in time. This is a big mistake, both publicly and privately.
Although Zhang Dingyi was guilty, Zhang Dingming killed him in the Conference Hall before the investigation was completed.
As for how to deal with this matter, please discuss it together. "
Xu Qinghe immediately said, "Before Lord Shadow Master returned to the headquarters, the Grand Elder had been in charge of Blood Shadow's affairs for several hundred years.
He was responsible for the things that Zhang Dingyi did.
Although Zhang Dingyi was a criminal, the Grand Elder killed him before all of his crimes were investigated. This is also a big mistake and should be punished severely. "
Elder Han was more upright. "According to Blood Shadow's rules, the Grand Elder was unjust and incompetent in his supervision. He should be removed from his position.
He should only retain the status of an elder with no duties and no longer be in charge of any affairs.
As for killing Zhang Dingyi, it can be a big or small matter.
If he killed someone to silence them, then he should be killed.
If he killed someone for Blood Shadow, his methods were too extreme and he should be demoted.
As for how to deal with this matter, it will be up to Shadow Master. "
As soon as he said this, all the elders agreed.
Zhou Luan waved her hand, and the elders immediately quieted down.
"The Grand Elder has been in charge of Blood Shadow's affairs for several hundred years.
Although he was in the wrong, we should leave him some face. "
