Cui Bailong nodded quickly and said, "Yes."
"You three are old friends after all. Your face is completely gone this time. Fortunately, the other party saved face for the Cui family! If they were more vicious and took away all the gold, then the Cui family would lose more than just Money, and more importantly, reputation and face!" the old woman said, knocking on the table.
"Who are they, and what grudges do they have with the Cui family?" the man thought.
"Hmph, there are quite a few people who have grievances with the Cui family. They have offended too many people over the years, and now there are many people waiting to see the Cui family's jokes!" said the thin old man.
"You three should reflect carefully when you go back!" the bearded man snorted coldly.
"Cui Bailong, Cui Yanfeng, and Cui Lanshan, as the heads of the Cui family, you three have the main unshirkable responsibility for this incident. I originally wanted to sanction you, but seeing that you recovered most of the losses in the end, you can be given a lighter sentence. The death penalty can be exempted and the crime cannot be escaped. 1. The three of you will make up for the loss of 300 million gold, and an additional 300 million will be fined. 2. All subsidies and financial support will not be issued within five years, and all expenses will be paid by yourself. 3. Within five years No more magical instruments, elixirs and other cultivation supplies will be distributed. Fourth, the annual management fees, commercial taxes, etc. will be doubled. Fifth, starting from tomorrow, you will enter the red pool for a month." The white-bearded old man frowned said.
The three people trembled and did not dare to raise their heads. They kowtowed and said, "I am willing to accept the punishment!"
"Okay, you can step back and reflect in the red pool!" The white-bearded old man waved his hand.
The three people slowly exited the room and returned to Cui's house.
"Made...the punishment is too harsh, isn't it? It costs a lot of money to go back and forth, so the loss is huge!" Cui Yanfeng said depressedly.
"That's just a big piece of meat. The loss is a lot. Then we have to make money." Cui Bailong sighed helplessly.
"Didn't you hear that? We almost died! If we hadn't found the gold, we probably wouldn't have survived." Cui Lanshan wiped the cold sweat from his head.
"Actually, it's impossible for me to kill us. The impact is too great and it's unjustifiable. It's just a scare. But...Red Pool...Made!" Cui Yanfeng frowned and said.
"It's not a good place there. You're going to suffer a lot." Cui Lanshan shook his head.
"Okay, this is pretty good, admit it. There are still a few hours until tomorrow, so let's make arrangements now." Cui Bailong left after saying that.
In a secret room, Cui Bailong sat there with a frown on his face.
"father.

"
Cui Yueyue stepped in and stood in front of him.
Cui Bailong told him the whole story, and Cui Yueyue said in surprise: "Ah? Why don't you let me handle this matter?"
"Yue'er, you are too young, and you don't understand many things yet. Dad is protecting you. For your future, don't talk about this in advance. The two families and I will be away for a month. I have assigned someone During this period, you will be in charge of Cui family matters, and you will serve as his deputy." Cui Bailong looked at him and said.
"Oh? Okay, I understand, who is that person?" Cui Yueyue asked.
"It's Cui Fengzi, the manager of the Cui family. You are so familiar with me, so I don't need to say more. He is in charge, and you can just assist him. Many things take a lot of care, you know?" Cui Bailong looked at him seriously.
"I understand, Dad, you and the two families are leaving for a month? Going to the Red Pond? Where is that place?" Cui Yueyue wondered.
"Hey... that's not a good place." Cui Bailong said with a bitter smile.
At the foot of a mountain 200 kilometers south of Kunming City, there is a farm that breeds cattle and sheep. In fact, it is a secret punishment place for the Cui family.
Those who make mistakes to a certain extent will come here to undergo purgatory-style punishment for different periods of time.
It is called the Red Pool because there is a red pool inside the secret realm. After the punished person enters the pool, the entrance is sealed, but breathing can be done inside. After the punishment time is reached, the entrance will automatically open.
In the red water, there will be a lot of corrosion from various auras, as well as attacks from unknown monsters, which will cause the punished person to feel pain all the time. There are also many mental distractions that confuse people's minds. , miserable.
Various phenomena in the water will automatically match the person's level of skill, which will not destroy you, but will make you tired of dealing with it. If you give up voluntarily or make a major mistake. Then death is very likely.
But in recent years, only a few people who have been punished for making mistakes have died, and most of them will come back. But the torture and pain he endured can be remembered for a long time.
"Ah?" Cui Yueyue was very shocked and asked quickly: "Dad, you are the head of the family, how could you be allowed to enter a place like that? Isn't it too much?"
Cui Bailong smiled bitterly and said: "Actually, this is just for my family to protect me, and the fines and fines are nothing. They also know that it will be no problem for me to enter the Red Pool. At most, I will just feel a little uncomfortable. If I don't do this, it will be unjustifiable." After all, the Cui family has too many eyes and mouths, and I can’t stand them either.”
"Hey! Okay!
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
If possible, I would go in for dad! "Cui Yueyue said decisively.
"Thank you, my son... Don't worry, I'm fine in there. I haven't been in there either, so I just thought it was a new experience, haha." Cui Bailong said with a smile.
"Dad, how should I cooperate with Cui Fengzi? Do you have any advice?" Cui Yueyue asked very humbly.
"You can just take care of it when the time comes. Cui Fengzi knows it well. However, during the month when I am away, you must pay more attention to prevent people with ulterior motives from causing trouble. Also, do not do foreign affairs during this month. Go get in touch with other gangs and families, let alone get involved in some things. People are unpredictable now, and you are not familiar with many things and people, so be careful of tricks." Cui Bailong warned earnestly.
"Okay dad, I remember." Cui Yueyue nodded.
Cui Bailong took out a piece of paper and handed it to him. Cui Yueyue took it and looked at it. There were some names on it.
"Yue'er, these people are insiders of this matter, especially the finding of 700 million gold. We have instructions to deal with them all, and don't let any of them go, no matter what the relationship is." Cui Bailong said fiercely.
Cui Yueyue was startled, looked down, nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."
"I have asked Cui Fengzi to handle this matter. You must check them one by one according to the list afterwards, understand?" Cui Bailong looked at him.
"I understand, Dad." Cui Yueyue nodded.
Cui Bailong looked at the time and said, "Okay, it's almost time. I'm going to the Red Pool."
"Dad, I'll send you off." Cui Yueyue said quickly.
"No need, I have someone to pick you up, haha." Cui Bailong smiled bitterly.
After saying that, he left the secret room, and Cui Yueyue also came outside.
Soon after, a middle-aged man walked in.
Cui Yueyue took a look, smiled and bent down and said: "Director Cui, if you have anything to do, just ask Yue'er."
The person who came was none other than Cui Fengzi, the Cui family’s affairs manager and Cui Bailong’s assistant.
"Young Master Cui is too polite. Fengzi is just temporarily replacing the head of the family. Please give me more help, Mr. Cui!" Cui Fengzhi bent down and returned the greeting.
"No, no, no, I listen to you."
When it comes to matters, Cui Yueyue is still very sensible.
"Master Cui, the head of the family gave me a list of people who know something. Do you think...how to deal with it?" Cui Fengzhi was very smart and let the other party make up his mind.
Cui Yueyue snorted coldly: "Kill!"
