Zhou Yankong's tone was calm and expressionless, and his eyes were as quiet as the lake, giving people an inexplicable sense of oppression.
Shen Hao subconsciously moved his body to sit up straighter. He felt uncomfortable when facing Zhou Yankong. He was like a little rabbit sitting next to a ferocious beast.
The eighth level of Xuanhai Realm is really terrifying. From a purely perceptual perspective, Zhou Yankong was much more terrifying than Shen Hao's two masters.
The sound was not deafening in the huge palace, but it lingered in the ears so that everyone could hear it clearly.
Without any nonsense, Zhou Yankong directly stated the purpose of this temporary gathering. As soon as he finished speaking, it was obvious that there was more noise in the palace.
However, no one in the front row where Shen Hao was sitting was talking to each other. He took a few glances without leaving any trace, and found that the expressions on the faces of the eleven first-class sects around him had not changed much. Either he had received notification from Wanjuan Shushan and Mingshan Sect in advance, or the city was deep enough and he was waiting quietly for Zhou Yankong's next words.
"Before this, we and Mingshan Sect were entrusted to send people, two elders, to Fenghong Villa to discuss. The reply we got has been circulated to everyone here. Is there anyone who doesn't know much about this matter now? If Yes, you can let Elder Zhong Hongye pass by again."
Zhou Yankong paused after speaking. After a while, no one stood up and spoke. Then it is assumed that everyone understands what happened and the result of the first discussion.
Zhou Yankong continued: "Fenghong Villa represents the old Jing Dynasty, and their attitude is clear. They only act according to the law. Kill those who deserve to be killed, and punish those who deserve to be punished. These are all rules, and they have been told to the sect long ago. OK
As for whether he is convinced or not, Fenghong Villa has no reason to care. "
It was still the same calm tone, but everyone felt a hint of teasing from the words. It's just unclear whether this is aimed at Fenghong Villa or at those sects that know the rules but deliberately disobey them.
"This time we have invited Shen Hao, the great deacon of foreign affairs at Fenghong Villa, and we have invited everyone here, as well as Elder Xiang from the Mingshan Sect. If you have any wishes, you can tell Master Shen directly, and we must always discuss a compromise result. .”
The result of a compromise?
As soon as these words were uttered, the second-, third-rate and inferior sect members sitting further away became energetic. This sentence clearly shows that Zhou Yankong is standing up for them!
On the other hand, the people from the eleven first-class sects sitting in the front row still looked calm. In the final analysis, this matter has nothing to do with them.
Originally. This matter has little to do with the second-rate sects. The main reason why the second-rate sects looked at them sideways was because of the previous "glove case". Four second-rate sects were bullied by Fenghong Villa overnight and were frightened.
What is really closely related to today's matter is the third-rate and inferior sects. They are the ones who often take advantage of Jing Jiuchao. It was them who were ordered to be dealt with by Shen Hao some time ago. So the outcome of today's matter will directly affect them.
As soon as Zhou Yankong finished speaking, a third-rate sect that had been severely punished by Fenghong Villa before and almost had its bottom line wiped off stood up. The words were quite exciting, and the general idea was that Fenghong Villa was arrogant and unreasonable. It was obvious that there was a small misunderstanding but he was trying to exploit it, but in fact he was attacking the sect with sinister intentions!
As if a trumpet had been blown, after this third-rate sect, several more sects came forward to complain about injustice. Either they were dealt with before, or they were worried that they would be dealt with.
The third-rate sects were better off, they were fined and had their property confiscated. The tragedy is that those sects that are not popular are often killed. Those who are unlucky and killed too harshly basically mean that the sect disappears.
Shen Hao is no stranger to such "excited" scenes. As a member of the Black Flag Battalion of the Xuanqing Guard, he was disliked both internally and externally, and was shunned wherever he went.
Of course, you still have to respond to criticism.
Then Shen Hao smiled and said: "Greed of money, deprivation, concealment of information, and passing off quality goods as good ones. These despicable activities are all supported by complete files, which contain both witness and material evidence. Fenghong Villa has never wronged anyone. Anything.
Moreover, the losses suffered belong to the country and the dynasty. According to the law, he will be punished for shortfall and corruption of the treasury. Whether it's killing or punishing, there is evidence to support it.
Fenghong Villa only acts on a case-by-case basis and never targets a certain sect or individual. "
As he spoke, he took out several thick stacks of file rubbings from his storage bag, indicating to everyone present that they could consult them at will.
How Shen Hao coped when he faced Zhong Hongye and Xiang Liu was how he coped now. It is obvious that some third-rate sects and inferior sects were used to being unclean, but now that Shen Hao was in power, they were instantly beaten to death by Shen Hao, who was used to being simple and rough. After being punished, he was still unconvinced and always wanted to continue eating and occupying more. These third-rate and inferior sects are completely untenable in theory.
To use force to suppress others? How to press it? Calling the person surnamed Shen here is already considered bullying. Do you still want to catch him and give him a beating? There is no such argument.
So after the initial "excited crowd", the scene quickly became one-sided, "I hope Wanjuan Shushan and Mingshan Sect can make the decision for us!", and the blame was put on the heads of Wanjuan Shushan and Mingshan Sect. superior.
Shen Hao smiled unabashedly when he saw this scene. He was very curious about how the people of Wanjuan Shushan and Mingshan Sect felt at this moment after being blamed by these scoundrels. If it were him, he felt that he must have cursed him in his heart.
Glancing at the face of Zhong Hongye who was sitting nearby, one could clearly see a trace of extremely suppressed anger building up on his face.
Looking at the faces of the eleven first-class sects in the front row, it becomes even more exciting if you look closely. They were all trying their best to suppress their laughter, but their eyes were clearly filled with sarcasm. I just don’t know who I’m laughing at.
Things returned to their original path as expected. Driven independently by a group of "incompetent and furious" or "crying" people, in the end it was up to the two super sects to come forward to talk to Fenghong Villa.
This is the right to speak that one has given up.
"Master Shen. Today, the sect's leaders are here, and the matter has come around again. But there should be an explanation, right? Why bother to insist on it?"
The speaker was Zhong Hongye. She took over the conversation, and the drama heralded the beginning.
Shen Hao shook his head as agreed, looking like he was refusing to accept the offer. After that, Xiang Liu also started to sing, and the atmosphere quickly became tense when he sang with Zhong Hongye.
Finally, suddenly the head of a first-class sect said: "Since Fenghong Villa refuses to give in, why not separate "investigation" and "punishment"? Or go to Fenghong Villa according to the laws of the old Jing Dynasty? Check, but the punishment can be done by our sect ourselves."
As soon as these words came out, everything fell silent.
Then, without having time to think about it, everyone turned their attention to Shen Hao, waiting to hear his answer.
