Chapter 490
"Ancestor, no!" Many people stood up.
"Lord Long, you have made great contributions to Bashan!"
"That's right!"
"No one is allowed to plead for mercy!" The old ancestor shouted, looking around: "Dare to bribe outsiders to come to Bashan to assassinate, it is a taboo!"
"Secondly, he even dared to come and rob people from Bashan, stirring up trouble right under my nose. This is adding insult to injury!"
"Third, you're trying to argue in front of our ancestors!"
"You will be punished for multiple crimes. Drag him away immediately and give him fifty lashes with a cane!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. Fifty lashes of vines...
Long Yun's face turned pale.
"You, the Long clan, are arrogant and overbearing, and you are also an accomplice. From now on, Bashan will take back the Liuzhuang Wharf and all its income, and Nan'er will be in charge!"
boom!
If the previous punishment was only temporary, then adding this one would be a thunderbolt, affecting the income of the entire branch of the Long clan.
After all, a wharf as big as Liuzhuang makes a lot of money every year.
"Ancestor!"
For a moment, people with the surname Long complained.
But the old man ignored him and acted decisively: "If you do something wrong, you have to pay the price!"
"This is just a warning from me to you. If you don't change, you will bear the consequences!"
"Long Yun, do you admit it or not?"
Everyone looked at Long Yun.
Long Yun looked miserable, his face was disfigured and blood was flowing, but he knew that the decision of the ancestors could not be changed, and if he opposed it, the punishment would be even more severe.
He didn't dare to disobey orders openly.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Old Ancestor, I admit it!"
Upon hearing this, the scene fell into complete silence. The people from the Long family branch simply collapsed in despair. If they had known that their ancestors would find out, they would not have done this.
The old man said nothing more and just waved his hand.
Then someone came in, dragged Long Yun away, and executed the clan law.
Long Yun did not resist, nor did he dare to resist openly. He seemed very silent. However, when he was being dragged away, his eyes towards Guan Ning, Lou Xinyue, and Nie Nan were full of resentment and murderous intent!
He made note of today's account!
After the man was dragged away, the ancestral hall fell into silence. If you listened carefully, you could hear Long Yun's screams outside.
The clan rules of Bashan are very strict. The rattan whip is only slightly weaker than a military stick, and it can tear the skin and flesh apart with one hit.
Even Long Yun was punished like this, who would dare to shout and scream, who would dare to show up?
The depressing atmosphere was finally broken by the old ancestor. He looked at Guan Ning and Lou Xinyue.
"Two little kids, are you satisfied with what I've done?"
Guan Ning immediately stepped out and said, "Old Ancestor is very understanding and knows right from wrong. I admire him!"
"The old ancestor is wise." Lou Xinyue also said, admiring such an old man from the bottom of her heart.
The old ancestor nodded and said: "We, the Ba people, are reasonable. Right is right, and wrong is wrong. We will not protect our shortcomings or bully others."
"What happened in Liuzhuang is just an isolated case."
"Next, you will play in Bashan for a while. I will have someone protect you." He gave a warm invitation and offered a level of treatment that made the leaders of the Bashan branches envious.
The ancestor has spoken personally, and basically these two people can walk around Shu with their heads held high, and no one dares to make things difficult for them, including the governor of Shu!
Guan Ning showed gratitude and had a good impression of the ancestor.
At this moment, Nie Nan remembered something and said quickly, "Grandfather, Brother Ning actually came to Bashan because he has something to ask of you."
"Oh?" The old ancestor opened his slightly tired and turbid eyes slightly with curiosity.
"Little baby, what's the matter? Just tell me directly."
Guan Ning took a deep breath and was about to speak directly, but he saw that there were too many people here. Not only were there people from other branches, but some people with the surname Long had not left yet.
If they tell it, there is no guarantee that they will not leak the secret to the court.
"Ancestor, I wonder if it's convenient for you..." he asked tentatively.
The old ancestor immediately understood what he meant and glanced around: "Except Nan'er, you all should go back to work. Winter is almost over and the spring harvest must not go wrong, otherwise we will starve next year."
"Yes!" Everyone was convinced, except the Long family branch.
After everyone left, only five people were left in the huge and solemn ancestral hall.
