Chapter 407 Fake banknotes are not used to guard against you
When Shi Chunfen withdrew her gaze, the old lady had already sat down. She glanced at everyone present with a blank expression and said calmly: "Why I called you here today, I believe you have already heard that the second brother-in-law betrayed the Chu family and was related to the traitor.
colluded with the army, and after the incident, they tried to collect money and escape without caring. Such behavior of deceiving the teacher and destroying the ancestors is simply outraged by both humans and gods. I call you here today because I hope you can be a witness for me, so that I can stand in so many pairs of people.
Under my eyes, I will give an explanation to the ancestors of the Chu family."
After the old lady's powerful words fell, everyone responded one after another. They were not fools. They all knew that this was an opportunity given to them by the old lady. Only by standing in the right team could they forget the past.
"Second brother, you are so confused this time!" Chu Gui was the first to speak, and said to Chu Shun sadly: "Before, I was forced by the rebels and had to betray the Chu family. Why did you still do it after A Ling entered the city?
You just took the money and ran away, you really don't take us seriously!"
Seeing that he brushed off the matter of his second wife's collaboration with the enemy and the country in just a few words, the old lady's eyes darkened, and her face was filled with coldness.
Chu Shun understood his hint and followed his words and argued: "What's the point of running away with money? I didn't get any banknotes from the Chu family, so how can it be considered running away with money?"
"Oh?" Everyone was stunned. The news they heard was not like this.
Chu Shun raised his eyes, met the old lady's half-smiling eyes, and raised the corners of his lips with self-mockery, "It turns out that my mother was on guard against me early in the morning, with boxes after boxes of counterfeit banknotes. Shun'er was convinced of the defeat this time.
.”
Hearing the words "fake banknotes", many people present changed their expressions. It turned out that Jiang was still the old one. Fortunately, they were not the ones who rebelled this time.
Seeing that he still didn't repent, the old lady couldn't hide her disappointment, "The fake banknotes are not to guard against you, but to guard against everyone who has ill intentions towards the Chu family. Unfortunately, you
It just happened to be this person."
Chu Shun's pupils shrank, and his eyes were full of unwillingness, "Why do you pretend to give me hope, knowing that I will definitely lose, and then break it with your own hands?!"
"I was never the one who gave you hope." The old lady said coldly: "It was your own greed and luck that caused your current doom. You should be glad that you were born in the Chu family. Otherwise, with your crimes, you would have been dead long ago.
He has been cut into pieces by a thousand cuts.”
The old lady's voice was not loud, but it exuded an irrefutable majesty. Especially when she mentioned the four words "cut into pieces", many people present couldn't help but shudder. They knew that this was the old lady's voice.
The wife warned them that if anyone dared to deviate like the second wife again, they would be "cut into pieces by a thousand cuts".
"Is there any difference?" Chu Shun twitched his lips self-deprecatingly, "If I don't die with a thousand cuts, will you let me go?"
Hearing this, Xue Jinxiu couldn't bear it anymore. She rushed forward, struggled to crawl to the old lady and cried bitterly: "Mother, we know we were wrong. I beg you, please spare our lives!"
"Yes, grandma!" Chu Quan was also trembling with fear, "I am your grandson, please let me go!"
The old lady glanced at them coldly, her eyes neither angry nor sad, as calm as a pool of water, yet unfathomable.
Chu Quan was inexplicably afraid of this look, and he swallowed all his words of begging for mercy.
"You still have the nerve to say that you are grandma's grandson?" The old lady did not get angry, but Chu Xiu couldn't help it. "Who contradicted grandma in public and blamed her for being partial? Chu Quan, Chu Quan, how did you harm me?
You can let go of the past, but this time you actually want to kill the entire big house, you are simply hopeless!"
"That's right!" Aunt Liu also stood up. During the time when Xue Jinxiu was in power, she had seen a lot of her face. Now that she had the opportunity to get her money back with interest, she would naturally not miss it, "On weekdays,
Let’s forget it’s a small quarrel. This time we colluded with the rebels and brought injustice to our entire Chu family. If we let you go again, wouldn’t we be appeasing the traitors?!”
Seeing them adding insult to injury one by one, Chu Shun glared at them and said indifferently: "Kill if you want, no need to say anything!"
"Master!" Xue Jinxiu became anxious, "My mother always loves you very much. Please beg her, please beg her!"
Seeing his wife and children crying together, Chu Shun's eyes darkened and his expression became a little moved. If he could survive, who would want to die?
Just when he was struggling whether to speak, there was a sudden commotion outside the ancestral hall. It turned out that Chu Yan and Chu Ling, father and son, were here.
"Brother, father!" Everyone stepped back to make way for the father and son.
Chu Ling was not wearing any armor today. He was only wearing a black gown and a sword at his waist. He exuded a chilling and cold attitude. Just approaching slowly was enough to make people shudder.
Shi Chunfen stared at him intently, unable to associate him with the beast last night. The four words "sanctimonious" suddenly appeared in her mind, and the more she stared at Chu Ling, the more uncomfortable she felt.
Chu Ling noticed her gaze and glanced at her subconsciously. He happened to see her lower her head and not look at him. His brows furrowed quietly, and his already cold face became even more frightening.
"Grandma (mother)." Chu Yan and his son came to the old lady and bowed to her respectfully.
The old lady nodded slightly and looked at Chu Yan with some excitement. From last night when Chu Ling rescued him until now, the mother and son had not had time to get together. Now that she saw that Chu Yan had no scars on his body except that he was a little thinner, she was completely
Calm down.
"Yan'er, you came just in time." The old lady waved to him and motioned for him to sit down next to her, and then continued: "You have heard about your second brother, right? How do you plan to deal with them?"
Now that Chu Yan is here, he naturally has a plan in mind. He looks at Chu Shun with an unprecedentedly stern expression on his face, "It is an unforgivable crime to betray one's ancestors and forget one's righteousness, but you still want to collude with the party, collaborate with the enemy and treason. It's simply
This is an injustice to the Chu family. Today, I will enforce the family law on behalf of the Chu family. Each of you will be punished with thirty sticks and then handed over to the government. Do you have any objections?"
"No, uncle!" The first few words were okay, but when he heard that he was going to be handed over to the government, Chu Quan was so frightened that he burst into tears. He had already been in jail once, and he didn't want to go to jail a second time anyway.
"Please spare us. We are a family and our own affairs should be resolved by ourselves. Why bother to alert the government and go to such trouble?!"
"Yes, brother..." Xue Jinxiu also begged, "It's not like you don't know what's going on with Quan'er. He's already a cripple, so why do you want to kill him all?"
