C1966 The Judgement of the Elders Guild(1)
"Alright, alright! This is an investigation, not an investigation. What are you all making a fuss about?" At this moment, Patriarch Yu turned around and glared at the seven elders behind him. " It's not the time for the Elders Council yet. Why are all of you making such a ruckus?"
After being reprimanded by the patriarch, the elders immediately lowered their heads and no longer dared to speak. After all, Yu Tianlai was the patriarch of this place if he didn't die. He had an indisputable dignity. However, as he grew older and older... The days when he died of old age gradually came and became more and more superficial. In fact, only heaven knew if these elders would dare to be so obedient behind his back.
"Chu Zhongtian, regarding the disappearance of your four subordinates, do you admit your mistakes?" Yu Tianlai looked at Chu Zhongtian, who was standing below the stage, and saw that he was so scared that he didn't dare to speak. He suddenly raised his voice in dissatisfaction. "As the captain, you should act like the captain of the guards! If you don't take responsibility, how can you become a man of Tianyu family! Let me ask you again. Regarding this matter, do you admit your mistakes!?"
Being provoked by Patriarch Yu, Chu Zhongtian was obviously frightened to the point that his entire body trembled. He quickly opened his mouth and said in a trembling voice, "Report... Master, I, I have realized the mistake of this matter. It was my inadequacy in my estimation and my carelessness that resulted in such a situation. I am willing to accept the punishment from the family... However, Fann Binn must also bear a certain responsibility. After all, my subordinates went to look for him."
Fann Binn couldn't help but curse this guy in his heart. He actually wanted to drag him down with him even before his death. The The Chus was truly ruthless! At this moment, Chu Ming, who hadn't said a word, happened to glance over at him. There was a trace of mockery in his eyes. The meaning of that gaze was too clear. It was just saying... Little guy, you want to fight me? I'll play you to death!
Before the fury in Fann Binn's heart could rise, something that made him hold his breath appeared. Fourth Elder, Chu Yuzhu, said, "Patriarch is right. Since you have made a mistake, you shouldn't hide and hide. You have to be responsible and act like a man! Chu Zhongtian was willing to pay the price for his mistake. This was a good thing. I feel that he is not the only one who is at fault. If he is to be responsible, he will naturally need to be responsible for all those who have made mistakes!"
"Yu Rong, what does he mean?" Fann Binn had a feeling that something was not right. If he could not tell that the The Chus was setting a trap for him, he would not be called Fann Binn anymore. But at this moment, could he have any other choice? He estimated that besides standing here and waiting for the result, there was no other way for him to participate in the fight between the upper echelons of the Tianyu family.
Yu Rong was originally gloating over the misfortune of others, but now, her pretty face turned slightly red as she clenched her fist tightly. She said to herself, "Despicable, shameless! This The Chus really thought of all kinds of ways to drag you down with them! This is too much!"
"Then what Fourth Elder said can be done? It can't be... The exam rules didn't say that I'm not allowed to throw away the GPS? Why am I implicated?" Fann Binn did not think that he would be involved in this matter as well.
Yu Rong smiled bitterly and said, "I thought the same as you just now. I think that as long as there is no such clause in the rules. This matter has nothing to do with you. But you and I both neglected one thing, which was the disappearance of four of our clansmen. It happened precisely because you threw away the GPS, and not because you threw away the GPS. Now, it was a matter of who was responsible for the disappearance of the four people! With such a causality, if the Elders Guild determined that you were the cause of the disappearance of four people, I'm afraid that you will have to bear the responsibility together with Chu Zhongtian... "
"What is this? Isn't this bullying?! Is there any law here! " Fann Binn really did not expect to be so unreasonable and could not help saying angrily, " Could it be that as long as the Elders Guild thinks that there is a connection, I have to pay for the disappearance of the four of them? What kind of logic is this! "
"Fann Binn... in the Tianyu family, the Elders Guild is the law." Yu Rong said helplessly in a low voice, "Here, as long as the Elders Guild decides on something, you will not have any chance to appeal."
Fann Binn's eyes widened. It was only at this moment that he understood. This was the Tianyu family, a place that lived in the ancient feudal state. Similar to a tribe, the Elders Guild was the supreme race here. It was not his turn to choose right or wrong!
Now, it seemed like he could only listen to the final judgement of the Elders Guild! At this moment, Patriarch Yu frowned and said, "I think Fann Binn did not do anything wrong or have any responsibility. After all, before the competition, we did not specify that we could not abandon the luggage bags. However, from the perspective of things, it was indeed because of him. It indirectly caused four of our clansmen to go missing in order to find him. This... It's a bit difficult to determine whether he's guilty or not. "
"Since the clan head feels that it's difficult, then why don't we vote in the Elder Council! The Elder Council will vote. The majority of the people will be able to decide whether Fann Binn is wrong or not." Chu Yuzhu's expression was somewhat gloomy as he laughed and suggested, "Just like how we have always dealt with the internal affairs of the clan, this matter should also be handled according to the Elder Council's decision!"
Yu Yide's face immediately turned ugly when he heard that and said to Chu Yuzhu, "Then may I ask Elder Chu, since you already feel that Fann Binn is wrong, then... As for the specific content of the punishment... How should we appraise it? What kind of responsibility should Chu Zhongtian take, and what kind of responsibility should Fann Binn take?"
"This question... We can talk about it in detail later. Now, let's vote first. " Chu Yuzhu glanced at Yu Yide and avoided his question. At this time, Patriarch Yu came to see that things had come to this point. He could only nod and agree to vote.
When Fann Binn saw Chu Yuzhu's confident expression, he knew that it was basically impossible. Yu Rong had told him that the current Elders Guild was basically under the control of Chu family. Therefore, he didn't need to vote to know what the outcome would be.
Sure enough, after the seven elders, the patriarch, and Yu Yide started voting, five of the elders who agreed immediately raised their hands, which meant... The remaining people, whether you give up or oppose, only had four votes. This matter had to be handled according to what Chu Yuzhu had said.
Fann Binn finally understood why Yu Rong and Yu Yide could not control the situation. As long as the Elders Guild was under the control of the Chu family and obtained the support of most of the Elders, in fact, the entire Tianyu family was already under the control of the Chu family.
Of course, if Chu Ming became the patriarch of the Tianyu family, the situation would only worsen. At that time, the Tianyu family would probably change their surname to Chu instead of Yu!
No, if Chu Ming really succeeded, then the Tianyu family would become a place where schemes and plots were prevalent! One look and one could tell that Chu Yuzhu was not a good person, let alone Chu Ming!
The more Fann Binn thought about it, the more he felt that he should work harder, at least not for himself. He also had to think about Yu Rong and the Yu Family! An inexplicable fighting spirit ignited in his heart. The more Chu family wanted to find trouble with him, the more they wanted to cause him trouble. Restraining him from developing, the higher his fighting spirit was. The more motivated he was to defeat them! Didn't you want to drag me down with you? Fine, I will punish you. If you have the guts, wait until you get first place. Successfully stopping Chu Ming from becoming the head of the family, let's see how these people still dare to be arrogant. How impudent!
The eight elders and Yu Tianlai were having a secret discussion, and the content of the discussion was naturally how to deal with the two people who had already been convicted. Yu Rong looked at Fann Binn, whose face was somewhat red and clearly angry, and said in a somewhat helpless low voice. "Fann Binn, don't worry. Although the Chu family has dragged you into this matter, you are despicable and shameless. But you are only indirectly responsible for it. They won't have any other way to deal with you. At most, they will only punish you a little. It won't be too serious. My father is not a vegetarian. If he wants to bully someone under our watch, if this really happens, the Chu family won't dare to do it now."
Fann Binn didn't reply. After all, no matter who it was, they wouldn't feel good about it. Being inexplicably blamed was an insult to him. But of course, if the people of Tianyu family knew that the four family members were killed by him, it would be a different story. But now, they didn't know about it at all!
After a private discussion in the Elders Guild, there was a result. Yu Yide's face was ashen, and it was obvious that he didn't feel very comfortable. In a situation where the Elders Guild was heavily biased towards the Chu family, the appearance of such a situation was a provocation to him. He was the Third Elder of the Tianyu family. Besides the patriarch, he was supposed to be the Third Elder with the greatest authority!
Unfortunately, as he grew older and older, this authority was slowly being worn down and replaced by the Chu family. It was obviously impossible for Yu Yide to still feel comfortable under this kind of feeling.
Patriarch Yu naturally came to side with Yu Yide, but today that he could no longer control the Elders Guild, he obviously did not have much power.
At this moment, his expression was a little awkward as he stabilized his emotions. He said calmly, "Regarding the disappearance of the four family members during the examination, given the situation of the deputy captain of the guards, Chu Zhongtian, arbitrarily delegating them to them, and the cause of the contestant, Fann Binn, abandoning the localization device, which resulted in this terrible incident. The Elders Guild believes that Chu Zhongtian has a responsibility that cannot be shirked, and Fann Binn has an additional responsibility. "
"After the verdict, we have unanimously discussed and decided to give Chu Zhongtian the decision to cancel his position as the deputy captain of the guards. As for himself, he will be imprisoned for three days, and he will be punished with thirty strokes of the staff! As for the candidate, Fann Binn, we will give him a lower score for the test. He would be demoted from first place to fifth place with his current score. The Elders Guild's decision will take effect immediately!"
