"Yuanshan, did you see that? What do you think we should do? " In Great Elder Ling Gaofeng's subconscious mind, Ling Dong had committed a heinous crime by killing people and humiliating Master Shui. This was already set in stone.
Therefore, Ling Gaofeng directly considered how to punish Ling Dong, how to bet on Ling Yuanshan's mouth, how to make this matter appear fair and achieve the goal of appeasing Master Shui. Of course, he was also very willing to do things like attacking the eldest branch at the same time.
However, Ling Yuanshan's reaction was unexpected. After being stunned for a moment, Ling Yuanshan said in astonishment, "Second Uncle, what do you mean by what should we do? We still don't know the details of this matter, right? Shouldn't we ask one of the guards first? "
"Second Brother, what exactly happened here? Did Ling Dong do this?" Ling Xuanfeng asked.
Ling Yuanshan's words immediately received the support of Third Elder Ling Xuanfeng, Ling Tieshan, and the others. To be honest, they were also confused.
After Ling Xuanfeng's question, Great Elder Ling Gaofeng realized that other people still didn't know the specifics of this matter. However, Ling Gaofeng wasn't worried about any accidents. This matter was Ling Dong's fault from the beginning to the end, so he wasn't afraid of others knowing.
Immediately, he called a guard guarding the Earth Fire Pill Room and let him talk about this matter.
However, because the guard himself was guarding outside the courtyard, he only heard a few words. In addition, the guards guarding the important places of the Ling family were all personally selected and trained by Patriarch Ling Yuefeng. In terms of loyalty, they were very reliable, so it was only a factual account without a trace of personal feelings.
While the account wasn't detailed, it also made Great Elder Ling Gaofeng a little dissatisfied. It didn't seem like it. He felt that Ling Dong wasn't wrong after hearing this from the guard's mouth.
Thus, with a wave of his hand, First Elder Ling Gaofeng summoned the guard who had reported to his grandson, Ling An, and had him explain the situation.
In the end, he added, "Tell me everything that happened in detail. Tell me what you saw. If you dare to talk nonsense, hmph!"
When the guard heard the First Elder's vicious words, he hurriedly nodded his head. Just as he was about to speak, Ling Yuanshan spoke up.
Ling Yuanshan knew that the guard that had been pointed out by the first elder was Ling An's guard. If he did not do anything now, regardless of whether there was a pot of sh * t, it was likely that Ling Dong's head would be implicated.
"You said that you witnessed the whole thing with your own eyes?" Ling Yuanshan stepped forward and asked in a deep voice.
The guard nodded his head carefully.
After receiving an affirmative answer, Ling Yuanshan suddenly became extremely fierce. "This Earth Fire Elixir Room is one of the most important buildings of the Ling family. How did a small guard like you see the whole thing? Even the guards of this Earth Fire Elixir Room didn't see it clearly, so how did you see it clearly? Speak! "
"I … I … I …" The guard stammered a few times, but couldn't say anything.
He didn't dare to say how he saw it. Although the guard wasn't very smart, he knew the key points. If he said it out loud, no one would be able to protect him.
First Elder Ling Gaofeng was shocked by Ling Yuanshan's unusual question, so he gave Ling Zhengshan a look.
When Ling Zhengshan saw this, he hurriedly said, "Big Brother, now isn't the time to think about this problem. Although the Earth Fire Elixir Room is tightly guarded, there are still loopholes. The most important thing now is to let this guard tell us the whole story and analyze the reason why Dong 'er did this. This is so that Dong' er won't make a big mistake in the future. "
Ling Yuanshan didn't answer Ling Zhengshan's words. He only snorted coldly and thought to himself, "If you, Ling Zhengshan, really have such thoughts, then I've really seen a ghost!"
This made Ling Zhengshan feel a little embarrassed. Anyone with a little bit of intelligence could see the meaning behind his words.
"Then speak. The guards here have also heard some of the things that happened inside. If they dare to be biased, hmph!" The last word was said by Ling Dong using his Innate Qi. It shocked the guard so much that his face turned pale!
First Elder Ling Gaofeng's face darkened, but he couldn't do anything. Ling Yuanshan's actions couldn't be criticized at all.
After being frightened, the guard didn't dare to exaggerate too much. He only spoke according to the facts. He only changed the tone of the speaker a little.
It was nothing more than making Ling Dong extremely arrogant, making Manager Li Zhong's actions more tactful, and making Master Shui's anger more intense. However, they didn't dare to change the content of their words. After all, the ears of the guards outside the courtyard weren't for nothing.
After the guard finished speaking, he retreated. Ling Gaofeng's expression also became fierce, "Yuanshan, did you hear any bias in what the guard said?"
Ling Yuan smiled slightly, "Basically not, except for some of his tone!"
"As for his tone, it's naturally difficult to imitate it perfectly! This means that you understand this matter and agree with the process! "First Elder Ling Gaofeng continued to ask.
"Yes!" Ling Yuanshan replied.
After receiving an affirmative answer, First Elder Ling Gaofeng's hair stood on end, "Since you agree, then tell me. Killing without permission, humiliating and frightening the family's Alchemist, and interrupting Master Shui's breakthrough to become a Middle Level Alchemist, how do you think we should deal with this?"
After several charges were laid, the faces of all the Ling family's disciples, including the guards, changed.
As a large family, it was natural for them to have strict family rules for survival. Among the rules, there were rules for the family's servants and guards. There were also rules for the family's disciples. It was especially strict for the younger generation.
Of course, there were also people who were happy. For example, Ling An and Ling Zhuo were overjoyed. However, they were immediately glared back by Ling Zhengshan's murderous gaze.
Everyone stared at Ling Yuanshan, waiting for Ling Yuanshan's answer. Although they all knew that this matter already had the smell of an internal struggle, there was no other way. The First Elder's line had reason. With the irrefutable evidence, Ling Yuanshan had no choice but to lower his head.
They were just curious. What would Ling Yuanshan do? Would he abandon his son to protect his power? Or would he give up some of the family's power to obtain the other party's concessions and protect his son, Ling Dong?
Contrary to everyone's expectations, Ling Yuanshan calmly took a few steps forward and said with a smile, "I killed a servant who didn't do his job. What's there to do?"
After he finished speaking, his gaze turned cold, "If I encountered a servant who didn't respect his master, how could it be as simple as cutting off his tongue and dismembering his body? This kind of rich servant was pampered by the master behind him. Even if he wasn't, there must be someone backing him up! If it was me, I would definitely capture this servant, find the master behind him, and talk to him about one, two, three, four, five! "
First Elder Ling Gaofeng's expression changed. Just as he was about to say something, Ling Yuanshan beat him to it, "Our Ling family's great man, Ling Dong. How could a mere servant like him say that he is a debauchee?
Furthermore, our Dong-er came to the Heaven and Earth Fire Alchemy Room to refine pills with Zhengshan's approval. He took the token key and came here legitimately! How could a servant like him question that? How dare he say that our Dong-er came here to cause trouble? He should be killed! "
After he finished speaking, he turned to Ling Zhengshan and asked, "Zhengshan, don't you agree?"
Ling Zhengshan's expression turned ugly, "There is such a thing, but …"
"No buts! It's good that there is such a thing! " Ling Yuanshan directly interrupted, "If there is such a thing, it means that our Dong-er didn't come here to cause trouble. He came here to do business and was provoked by a servant. Furthermore, that servant didn't respect his master. He should be killed!"
"As for Master Shui, I think he was just a little frightened by the bloody scene. Just now, from the description of the guards, did you hear our Dong-er speak rudely to Master Shui? "
"Furthermore, our Dong-er didn't kill our master's servant. It was the right of our Ling family to kill him. On the other hand, Master Shui has been spoiled by all of you in recent years. How can a consecrated alchemist like him interfere with our Ling family's affairs?
Do we have to ask Great Grandmaster Shui if we want to punish a servant? "" That's right. At this point, Ling Yuanshan's expression became incomparably sarcastic, "Rather than this, why don't we give all the power in the family to Master Shui? The entire Ling family might as well change their surname to Shui!"
"You …" Great Elder Ling Gaofeng's old face instantly turned ashen. He wanted to reprimand Ling Yuanshan, but he found that Ling Yuanshan's words were reasonable. How could he refute?
The other family members began to ponder over Ling Yuanshan's sarcastic words, "The entire Ling family might as well change their surname to Shui …"
