Chapter 18 Taking refuge with His Royal Highness the Prince
It took a long time for Qin Shan to react.
He hurriedly said: "Master, I'm sorry, I have never harmed Qin Zhan, it's him who has repeatedly opposed me."
"Although the fourth elder, the head of the family, usually behaves harshly, he is loyal to Prince Wu's Mansion, and he also asked the head of the family to make a holy judgment."
People who usually have good relations with Qin Shan began to speak for him.
Qin Ji and Qin Zhen looked at each other, they were both smart people.
In these years, this was the first time that Qin De supported Qin Zhan in public.
This was completely beyond their expectations.
Qin Shan continued to frame Qin Zhan: "Master, Qin Zhan is murderous. Don't listen to his words. He obviously killed someone, and he should be punished!"
Qin Lie also stepped forward at this time.
"To report to the head of the family, Qin Zhan robbed all the pills from Qin's Pharmacy that day without any reason. He also killed all the apprentices. After that, I was ordered to find him, but he actually killed more than 20 people of his own clan.
Even Tushan was killed by him."
"If I hadn't been lucky enough to meet His Highness the Crown Prince, I would have died tragically at his hands. Please tell me, head of the family."
What Qin Lie said was confusing right and wrong.
Claiming to be a righteous person, he also described Qin Zhan as a heinous murderer.
"So, this king has wronged you?"
"I don't dare, but what we said is the truth. Please be aware of it, head of the family."
Qin De turned to look at Qin Ji and Qin Zhen: "Where are you two?"
Qin Ji and Qin Zhen looked at each other.
Although these two people have always wanted to push Qin Zhan down, they are not as ruthless as Qin Shan.
Coupled with Qin De's changes today, Qin Ji and Qin Zhen didn't dare to talk nonsense.
"We listen to the head of the family." The two said in unison.
The change in attitudes of Qin Ji and Qin Zhen also made Qin Shan a little angry.
These two old guys didn't speak for him at the critical moment.
I felt cold and had a bad feeling.
Qin De waved his hand: "I will personally send people to investigate the whole story. No one is allowed to make a conclusion before this matter is investigated clearly."
"yes."
Such a major event was brushed aside in a few words by Qin De.
Qin Shan still refused to give up and wanted to continue to discredit Qin Zhan.
"Patriarch, let's not talk about whether Qin Zhan killed so many people. Just the fact that he collided with His Royal Highness is enough to put Prince Wu's palace into a desperate situation. Please punish him severely."
"Please punish me severely, Master."
The story of the confrontation between Qin Zhan and the Prince's Palace outside the city spread throughout the imperial capital.
Everyone said that Qin Zhan was completely crazy.
First he stole the Royal Dragon Transformation Pill, and now he directly confronts His Highness the Crown Prince, which will push Prince Wu's Mansion into a situation that is beyond redemption.
However, Wei Jiang was present at the time and carefully reported the whole story to Qin De.
Qin De knew what was right and wrong.
"So, do you really want me to punish Qin Zhan?" Qin De's tone was solemn.
Qin Shan continued to seek death: "Qin Zhan repeatedly put Prince Wu's palace into dangerous situations. If he is not severely punished, he will not be able to convince the public."
Qin Shan was so desperate that he dared to talk to Qin De in this tone.
And Qin De's eyes became more and more stern.
The atmosphere in the entire meeting hall was extremely depressing, and everyone even breathed cautiously.
Qin De looked at Qin Shan coldly: "From now on, Qin Shan will be demoted from elder to deacon, and the resources earned by people in Qin Shan's lineage will be halved, effective immediately."
As soon as Qin De said these words, everyone in the conference hall was stunned.
Qin Shan was even more stunned!
Have you played too much?
"Master, think twice!" Qin Ji and Qin Zhen hurriedly persuaded.
His son and grandson also hurriedly echoed: "Master, we are not convinced."
"What I decided will not change."
"Master, Elder Qin Shan is devoted to the palace, are you doing this..." Qin Ji also hurriedly persuaded.
"Are you questioning this king?" Qin De glared at Qin Ji.
Just one look made Qin Ji tremble with fright and was unable to say a word.
At this moment, everyone remembered.
In Prince Wu's Mansion, Qin De had absolute authority.
No one dares to challenge him!
"Qin De, I, Qin Shan, followed you when I was young. I dare not say that I have made great contributions, but there is always hard work. If you do this, won't you chill everyone?"
At this time, Qin Shan finally understood that Qin De was supporting Qin Zhan.
Their previous guesses were all wrong.
Who says Qin De doesn't care about Qin Zhan's life or death?
Now everyone was slapped in the face.
However, Qin Shan will not sit still and wait for death, he must give it a try.
Facing Qin Shan's disrespect, Qin De's face suddenly turned cold: "What do you want to say?"
"I just don't accept it. My Qinshan family has sacrificed so much for Prince Wu's Mansion. Why do you want to abolish my position as an elder with just one sentence?"
"Why?"
Qin De's expression was awe-inspiring and domineering: "I am the one who supports the whole palace."
After saying that, a terrifying martial arts aura enveloped the entire meeting hall.
Everyone's expressions changed drastically. Only then did they realize that Qin De was not just a prince, he was also a strong martial artist who had broken the realm of delusion.
Of all the elders here, only three are in the Xiantian realm, which is a full two realms lower than the Pohuan realm.
Once Qin De's aura was turned on, no one dared to even fart.
People from the Qinshan lineage were suppressed to death, and some were even suppressed to the point of vomiting blood.
At this time, everyone completely understood that he was his biological grandson. Qin De's unreasonable support directly shut everyone up.
Regardless of whether what Qin Shan said is true or not, no one dares to disobey Qin De's words.
Qin De stood up slowly and walked to Qin Shan: "If it weren't for the merits you have made, do you think you can still stand and talk to me now?"
Immediately, Qin De left the meeting hall.
Qin Shan was like a deflated rubber ball, paralyzed on the ground.
The others looked at each other.
Who would have thought that Qin Shan, who was an elder just now, would be demoted to a deacon at this moment.
And this is just because of Qin De's words.
This is King Wu.
The Lord of Prince Wu’s Mansion!
Qin Ji and Qin Zhen looked at each other, feeling a little frightened.
How many years later, they saw Qin De angry again.
"Qin Shan, let's leave this matter alone. We people can't defeat the family master." Qin Ji left after saying this.
Qin Zhen hesitated to speak, just sighed and left with his people.
The others also left accordingly, and only the people from Qinshan's lineage followed behind him.
"The head of the family is blatantly favoring Qin Zhan. Father, what should we do?" Qin Cheng hurriedly helped Qin Shan up.
"The head of the family doesn't distinguish between right and wrong. Grandpa, why don't we just do one thing and take refuge in His Highness the Crown Prince." Qin Lie suddenly said.
Everyone was shocked when they heard Qin Lie's words.
Qin Shan was a little surprised when he heard this, but he thought about it carefully.
When things got to this point, Qin De had lost trust in people of his lineage.
Maybe they will continue to be suppressed in the future.
"Lier'er is right. If Qin De is unkind, don't blame me for being unjust. In this case, let's find another supporter."
And this backer is none other than the current Crown Prince.
