The atmosphere in the hall became depressing with Zhang Jiuyuan's words.
Everyone could tell that he was determined to use this matter to get rid of Zhang Jiuzhong and his grandson today.
Zhang Qingshan still did not express his position and asked again: "Zhang Jiuzhong, what do you have to say?"
Zhang Jiuzhong seemed to have aged several years in an instant, and said in a hoarse voice: "I have nothing to say. It was Xiaoer who made the mistake today. I am willing to bear his sins, whether he dies or cannot enter the ancestral temple. All I want is
The head of the family can give Xiaoer a way to survive."
"The head of the family must not do it!" Zhang Jiuyuan took a step forward and said solemnly: "Zhang Xiao is a murderer. Today is the first time. Who can guarantee that there will not be a second time? If he cannot be punished, who in the family will obey!
"
Zhang Jiuzhong's body froze, and his expression was indescribably complicated.
But his eyes were always looking at Zhang Qingshan, with strong pleading.
Zhang Qingshan looked calm and did not look at him. He looked around the hall and asked, "What do you think?"
The tribesmen fell silent.
It was true that Zhang Xiao had killed someone, but they were still uneasy because they really wanted to execute the two of them.
Seeing that no one spoke, Zhang Qingshan asked: "Xuan'er, where are you?"
Zhang Xuan was sitting upright and watching the fun. He was completely unprepared that his father would throw the spiked ball to him. Hearing this, he could only show an embarrassed smile, coughed twice and said: "It is better to abolish Zhang Xiao's limbs and imprison him in the family."
?”
Jiang Ning almost choked when she heard a sip of tea nearby.
Anyone else would have counted the crimes he had committed first, then reasoned them out, moved them emotionally, and finally given his own opinions. It would have been better for Zhang Xuan to go straight to the point and kill Zhang Xiao.
He was imprisoned for life.
But surprisingly, his words also aroused Zhang Jiuzhong's gratitude.
After all, it can be regarded as giving Zhang Xiao a way out. Speaking from his own perspective, the old man would probably go to the ancestral temple again and say that he wanted to harm his eldest grandson.
"Ning'er, what about you?" Jiang Ning, who was enjoying his meal, was called by Zhang Qingshan, and the smile immediately froze on his face.
I...I'm just a relative from outside. Uncle, it's somewhat inappropriate for you to ask me to express my opinions, isn't it?
Jiang Ning scratched his head and saw that everyone in the Zhang family was looking at him, saying that it was neither right nor wrong, so he had no choice but to say to Xini, "Brother Xuan and I have the same idea."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Jiuzhong became more energetic. He snorted displeasedly and said, "Master, when will it be an outsider's turn to intervene in the affairs of my Zhang family?"
Jiang Ning was stunned.
How did he know that there are some people in this world who dislike you without any reason or reason? Just like Zhang Jiuzhong, no matter whether Jiang Ning is speaking for himself or not, he just dislikes Jiang Ning and there is no reason for it.
"You old bastard..." Jiang Ning spat, but when he saw Zhang Qingshan looking at him, he tried not to continue his attack, otherwise he would have given him a beating today.
Seeing that the two juniors Zhang Qingshan trusted the most spoke up, Zhang Jiuyuan suddenly thought something was wrong.
Not surprisingly, Zhang Qingshan is likely to decide this way.
Sure enough, Zhang Qingshan nodded and said with satisfaction: "Xuan'er will also take over the Zhang family in the future. This matter will be done as you say."
"Absurd!" Zhang Jiuyuan was anxious.
"Master, how can two ignorant boys take the decision when so many clan members died tonight?"
Zhang Qingshan didn't answer and looked at Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning: "???"
"Ning'er, come and explain to the great elder." Zhang Qingshan smiled.
Jiang Ning's eyes twitched.
But he still got up and stepped forward, obediently saying: "What Elder Zhang said actually makes sense. The future head of the Zhang family, a disciple of Shangqing Taoist Academy, I, Jiang Ning, the future head of the Jiang family, the next president of Qingling College,
They are just two young boys, how could they decide what Elder Zhang wants to do?"
"Are you right, Great Elder?" Jiang Ning stepped forward, stared at him and smiled.
Perhaps because they are used to the prestige of the Zhang family, they have forgotten Jiang Ning's current identity. Whether it is him or Zhang Xuan, no matter where they are in the future, at least in Meng County, these two are big shots who can't help but tremble when they stomp on the ground.
What they said has no weight. Who else said it? Are you Zhang Jiuyuan?
Jiang Ning put away his smile, and changed his face like turning a page in a book. With his straight waist, his aura as the chief disciple suddenly rose.
"Uncle, Ning'er really has something to say about tonight." He cupped his fists at Zhang Qingshan and asked.
Zhang Qingshan said: "Tell me."
Jiang Ning nodded, turned around, glanced at the people around him and said, "Everyone is only focused on how to execute Zhang Xiao. Has no one ever thought about why he suddenly became like this?"
Henry Zhang, who was sitting next to him, his eyes lit up, and he touched his palms as if he were seeing mist in the clouds. He took over the words and said: "Someone is causing trouble behind the scenes!"
brush!
In an instant, everyone's eyes fell on Zhang Jiuyuan.
"I asked why the Great Elder insisted on killing the two of them today. It turns out that this is the reason."
"So, it's the great elder who is causing trouble behind the scenes."
"It makes sense. The shrew who came to cause trouble before seems to have been arranged by the great elder."
For a time, there was a lot of discussion in the hall.
Zhang Jiuyuan's face turned blue and red, and his chest heaved violently.
"Nonsense, slanderous words!" He roared at Jiang Ning: "Zhang Xiao can kill people today, who can guarantee that he will not kill people again in the future? The murderer is unjust, and I only have ulterior motives for my family, right?"
It was obvious that he was really angry, and when he spoke, his spittle almost hit Jiang Ning's face.
What Jiang Ning doesn't understand is why everyone is targeting him.
He wiped the non-existent spit on his face and said calmly: "Elder Jiuyuan, don't be so excited. Everyone is just guessing. You look like you want to eat people."
"You!" Zhang Jiuyuan pointed at him, trembling so much that he was speechless.
Zhang Jiuzhong, who was next to him, turned his head, stared at Zhang Jiuyuan with incredible eyes, and cursed angrily: "Zhang Jiuyuan, do you still have the heart? If you want to be the great elder, I will give it to you. If you want me to disappear, I will guard you in the ancestral temple until death. Even if
So, you still refuse to let me and Xiaoer go!"
"Why do you have such a vicious heart!" Zhang Jiuzhong burst into tears and said in a hoarse voice: "What kind of hatred is it that makes you even risk the lives of more than half of the clan and kill us!"
"We are brothers!" After saying this, Zhang Jiuzhong was already crying uncontrollably.
It turned out that Zhang Jiuzhong and Zhang Jiuyuan were not only of the same race, but also brothers with the same father and mother. After all, Zhang Xiao was his nephew.
It was such a great uncle-nephew relationship, but the second uncle actually wanted to kill his own brother and his family. It was such a deep brotherhood.
Jiang Ning was amazed when he saw it.
This farce is not much inferior to that of my own family.
Under Zhang Jiuzhong's tearful accusation, Zhang Jiuyuan's face turned red and he kept arguing: "Nonsense, you are slandering and framing me!"
"Why bother to inflict crimes!" He knelt on the ground with a plop, facing Zhang Qingshan and said: "Master, you have to believe me, if you don't kill them today, they will become troubles in the future!"
