C14 Easily break the situation(3)

"Yun Fan."

Zheng Jiang turned his face to look behind him, and lightly called out, his expression somewhat sinister.

"Father, I was unable to properly arrange this operation. Please punish me."

Zheng Yunfan lowered his head and cupped his hands, he was extremely clear about his father's temperament. At this moment, his words were as if he was seeking death.

"It's good that you know you're wrong. Although you've made a mistake this time, the biggest fault is not with you. It's fine that you're punished. Go and do what you should." If we make another mistake this time, your father will not forgive you. " Zheng Jiang said as he waved his hand.

"Yes, your son will take his leave." Zheng Yunfan bowed and replied, then turned and walked out of the hall.

Walking out of the hall, the giant boulder that was pressing down on Zheng Yunfan's chest finally landed. After looking around for a moment, Zheng Yunfan left the Zheng Family's courtyard and headed east of the city.

Three days later, Zhou Tong followed the escort team back to Cang Lan City.

This trip was less than three hundred kilometers from Cang Lan City and it had only been four days since they arrived. On the way, besides the ambush from Zheng Family, they did not encounter any other vicious people.

After returning home, Zhou Yuqin went straight to Zhou Yuchuan's residence. The clan had placed a spy in the Zheng Family, so they had to inform him immediately, but Zhou Tong thought about it and decided not to follow her. He chatted with his aunt for a bit before returning to his residence.

Just as he arrived in front of the door, Zhou Tong heard intermittent sounds of flutes in the room.

Zhou Tong curled his lips and laughed, then pushed open the door and entered the room.

"Wan'er, you don't play the flute like that." Zhou Tong closed the door and walked to the side of the table, extending his hand to pat his sister's head.

Zhou Wan’er pouted his lips, looking at Zhou Tong, he stuck out his tongue, and a deep imprint appeared on his lips from Yu Xiao's blow.

Zhou Tong took out the Sumeru Pearl s that his father had gifted him. With a raise of his hand, a streak of white light flashed and a few exquisite small wooden boxes appeared on the table. When he opened them, he found that inside were all the best candied fruits and snacks that he had sold in this darting destination city.

"All for me?" Zhou Wan’er blinked his eyes, his eyes shining with starlight.

"It's all for you." Zhou Tong took Yu Xiao from his sister's hands and pushed forward a few boxes of dim sum.

Zhou Wan’er's small face was immediately filled with joy, she grabbed a piece of cake and stuffed it into her mouth. Not long later, her mouth became oily and filled with satisfaction.

"Young Master, Master wants you to go."

Just as Zhou Tong was packing his things, the voice of the butler came from outside the door. Zhou Tong grinned;

After a moment, Zhou Tong arrived at the Main Hall of the clan. Zhou Yuchuan, along with the five elders, sat in the hall, while trembling and kneeling on the floor.

"Ah, what's wrong with you, big brother?" They hadn't seen each other for a few days, so how could they have suffered such injuries? Could it be that we have been plotted against? "

Zhou Tong walked forward, tilted his head, and glanced at Zhou Lin. His tone was filled with incomparable mockery, and he was secretly laughing to himself, the people from the Zheng Family should have already arrived. After a while, the wounds he had left at the family meeting had not healed yet, and they had been replaced with new wounds.

"Tong'er, don't be rude." Zhou Yuchuan sat on the chair and called out lightly.

"Yes, Zhou Tong pays his respect to the elders." Zhou Tong laughed, and then knelt down on one knee.

"Zhou Tong, you have not yet obtained permission to enter the escort company, you went out to follow the escort company without permission, do you know what kind of action you are taking?" The Head Elder asked coldly as he sipped on his tea.

Zhou Tong's mouth twitched, he coldly looked at the Great Clan Elder and cupped his fists, "I, Zhou Tong do not know, Great Clan Elder, please enlighten me."

"Without permission, you went out to cast your darts without permission and almost caused an accident to the escort team. This action of yours, if we were to discuss the clan rules, you should be punished with a staff for thirty years, and then you will be punished with three months of imprisonment!" The Great Clan Elder glared at Zhou Tong and bellowed.

"Then, what should we do if we were to secretly leak out the clan's dart routes to others?" Zhou Tong stood up and raised his chin to look at the Great Clan Elder.

"Impudent!" How dare you be so arrogant in front of all these elders! Men, put Zhou Tong down, I want your staff for thirty! "

The Head Elder slammed the table and stood up in anger. The servants holding sticks on both sides of him immediately walked over.

Zhou Tong looked around at the servants. Although they were all eyeing him covetously, they did not dare to go up right away.

"The Great Elder urgently wants to punish me for my crimes. Could it be that he's afraid that if I continue speaking, he won't be able to step down the stage himself?"

Zhou Tong placed his hands behind his back, and spoke with a tone full of ridicule.

"It's true that Zhou Tong has gone out on a secret, but since Big Brother Zhou Lin is also kneeling here, I think I have a reason inside, I don't think I need to say anything more right? In order to punish my sins, should I let my elder brother be punished alongside me? If my big brother betrayed his clan, wouldn't he be punished by at least ten times the price of my punishment, and my staff by at least three hundred times?! "

"Third brother, you are accusing me wrongly! When have I ever betrayed my family? What is your intention for making such a statement? " Zhou Lin turned his head and looked at Zhou Tong with a venomous expression.

"Really?" Then, big brother, listen to me and see if I am wrongly accusing you. "

Zhou Tong laughed coldly as he looked at Zhou Lin, turning his resentful gaze back towards him.

"First of all, has Big Brother been to the escort company recently?"

"Of course I've been there before. Since I've already entered the escort company, I naturally need to know the path of the darts." Zhou Lin immediately retorted.

"There is a rule in the escort company. Unless you are a leader, no Escort is allowed to bring the route map out of the escort company. Why don't we go to the escort company right now to take a look?"

"Also, since big brother is injured and can't follow the escort team, what's the use of going to get the map? Could it be that he planned to devote himself to researching the route at home and see if he could create a flower? You don't even understand such a simple logic, and yet you still dare to quibble?

Zhou Tong's angry shout immediately scared Zhou Lin, causing him to stumble and be unable to come up with any excuses.

"How is this Great Elder? Is there a problem with my proposal just now? If there are no problems, Zhou Tong is willing to accept the punishment of three hundred staff, and is grateful to face off against the Great Clan Elder. " Zhou Tong asked while looking at the Great Clan Elder with a neither humble nor arrogant expression.

The Great Clan Elder clenched his teeth, Zhou Lin's action, seemed to have tacitly acknowledged his own crime. Zhou Tong received three hundred staff as punishment, and the meaning behind his words was that he wanted Zhou Lin's staff to be rewarded with three thousand, this was no different from a death sentence.

"Whatever, you're a member of the younger generation. Since you're young and arrogant, there's no need for you to pursue the matter." The Head Elder let out a long sigh and waved his hands, his eyes looking towards the side.

"Since First Elder is not going to pursue the matter, this junior will have to investigate you." Zhou Tong laughed coldly, "Pawn it all over!"

After hearing Zhou Tong's instructions, a few servants immediately brought Zhou Jie up.

As Zhou Tong expected, upon seeing Zhou Jie, the Great Clan Elder's face immediately became extremely ugly, the teacup in his hand almost shattered into pieces.

"Grand Elder, this person is an outer court disciple of your branch, right?" Zhou Tong pointed to Zhou Jie.

"So what?" The Great Elder snorted coldly. His expression was extremely cold, and his two eyebrows were scrunched together.

"It is him that is hiding in the escort team, planning to do something to the escort car, this is what is found on his body, since he is from the Great Clan Elder's sect, let the Great Clan Elder handle it."

As he spoke, Zhou Tong took out a wooden tablet from his bosom and threw it on the ground, his gaze cold and threatening.

The moment the wooden tablet landed, the First Elder immediately waved his hand and used the force to grab it. Before the other Elders could see clearly, he crushed the wooden tablet into pieces and threw it out.

The sharp piece of wood shot towards Zhou Jie. With a few dull sounds of flesh being pierced, Zhou Jie fell into a pool of blood before he could say anything.

"Clan leader, let's leave today's matter at this. It is my fault for not keeping a tight watch on such traitorous people." Considering that Zhou Lin is the direct disciple of my sect, we shall first take him into custody, and then, after we find out about this matter, we will begin to punish him. "

The Great Clan Elder stood up and cupped his hands towards Zhou Yuchuan, gritting his teeth he stood up, and then called for his servants to escort Zhou Lin and bring him away.

Seeing this, the other elders also stood up and left. Only Zhou Yuchuan and Zhou Tong were left in the great hall.

"Hmph, a bunch of beasts that eat outsiders." Zhou Yuchuan sat on the seat of honor, looked at Zhou Jie's corpse and snorted.

"Dad, this matter isn't over yet." Zhou Tong walked over and sat beside his father.

"Father knows that the clan's head, with the Great Elder as their head, already felt sympathy for him. It's just that he wasn't able to do anything big."

Zhou Yuchuan raised his teacup and took a sip, "However, I never expected that the Great Clan Elder's disciples would actually secretly contact the Zheng Family, it is truly detestable!"

"I'm afraid that not only are the people under the First Elder's tutelage, even the First Elder is not that clean. Look." Zhou Tong curled his lips and laughed, then took out another wooden tablet from his bosom and placed it on the table.

"This is?" the nameplate of the Zheng Family's Third Elder?! " Zhou Yuchuan picked up the wooden plate and looked at it. On it was engraved the Zheng Family's crest and the name of the Third Elder Zheng Jiang.
