Chapter 982: Punishment

Yan Li scolded angrily: "Your people and my people openly form gangs in the door, are you still a disciple of Zijin Cave?"

Niu Youdao was also not polite, "Are there still fewer people forming gangs in the sect? Shall I take the sect roster and count whose disciples and people who occupy important positions in the sect? Are all disciples fools?"

It's nothing to be polite, if it's an ordinary person who is so angry, it's the next crime, but his status is enough, there is no such problem.

Yan Li: "The arrangement of the disciples of the sect is decided by the sect. It is fair and reasonable, and it is also an internal matter of the sect. Is it reasonable for you to drag a group of outsiders to stand on their own in the sect and fight against the sect?"

Niu Youdao: "Is there any reason who agreed? Who agreed to let them here? Is my people intending to fight against the sect, or is someone deliberately looking for trouble? Everyone knows it well, and they are bullying me. You still want me to swallow my anger? There is no reason for that, you have found the wrong target, I am not a fool! Earlier, I promised everything well, first tricked the person into Zijin Cave, and then deliberately asked the disciple to pick things up... Is Qing Ya your apprentice? Old thief Yan Li, what do you want to do? If you want to get rid of me, you can do it, I will accompany you at any time!"

Seeing that the two of them were arguing with their faces torn apart, the more they talked, the more shameful they became. If they continued arguing, even gold would not be able to cover up their luster, Gong Lince shouted angrily: "Shut up!"

Niu Youdao immediately cupped his hands at him and said: "Master, since someone thinks that it is inappropriate for people from the thatched cottage to stay here, I ask the master to let me go. I can leave the sect's boundary and find another place to settle down, and return the sect to cleanliness." , please grant the Zongmen’s decision!”

Gong Lince raised his brows slightly, this request was impossible for him, it was fine in the past, the matter has reached this point, how can he let the tiger go back to the mountain easily, people here can still hold you and let them go, How can I make you obedient?

How could he not know why Niu Youdao didn't kill those three people in public? What he said to save him face was secondary. The real reason was because he knew that he was not the opponent of Zijin Cave. Get things done.

If they were to be let go, these people would turn their backs on this place later, and it is still unknown which company they would turn to. This is something he would never allow to happen.

If he were to let these people go at the risk of losing huge profits, he would rather kill these people together with Niu Youdao. The huge profits that Zijin Cave couldn't swallow could not fall into the hands of others and cause the reverse Oppress Zijin Cave!

In the current state of Yan, Zijin Cave holds a lot of power to speak, even Xiaoyao Palace and Lingjian Mountain have to look at Zijin Cave's face, how can he allow this situation to be reversed?

"Come with me." Gong Lince dropped his words to Niu Youdao, turned around and walked away.

Niu Youdao raised his middle finger at Yan Li who was glaring at him, and then left with Gong Lince.

Except for Yuan Gang, no one present knew the meaning of the middle finger, and Yan Li couldn't understand it, but he could guess that it must not have a good meaning. But I couldn't find a reason to grab the counterattack.

Under a big tree, there was no one around, so Gong Lince turned around under the tree and asked, "I want you to say something, can this matter be resolved?"

Niu Youdao understood what he meant, and when he came to the side to discuss in public, both parties had to show their cards, and everyone showed their cards to each other to see if they could solve the problem with just one sentence.

Then he said bluntly: "Master, the Thatched Cottage has been doing its own thing since it settled in Zijin Cave. Everyone knows who is causing trouble this time!"

Gong Lince: "You can't say that. Before the truth of the matter is revealed, personal feelings are all illusions. Any kind of truth may exist. How can feelings be used as a basis for judgment."

Niu Youdao: "Okay! Let's not talk about the truth, only the reality! You know my situation in Zijin Cave. If I am weak, I will be eaten sooner or later. If anyone deceives others too much, I will I can only survive by fighting, and I must give an account of today's matter!"

Gong Lince: "No matter what the truth of the matter is, it is impossible for me to entrust the lives of the three of them to you, and it is impossible for me to execute the three of them for you? What do you think? I can't do this anymore!"

Niu Youdao: "I'm not a person who doesn't know good and bad. The leader gave me an explanation, so I naturally won't make it difficult for the leader. I can let go of this matter, but they have to apologize. I have spirits in my hut. ...Afterwards, they will be expelled from the sect's territory immediately, and as for whether they are punished to be served in places like Zhaixing City or the Boundless Pavilion, that is the sect's business, and I will not interfere."

"Master, who dares to provoke you from my thatched cottage? But right now, the disciples below Zijin Cave dare to bully me. After so many years of messing around until today, if I can't even deal with them, I will There is no way to explain to themselves. I don’t know the heights of the heavens and the earth, and if they have the ability to do it, they must have the ability to take responsibility. Now that they have done it, they must pay the price for what they did!”

Gong Lince was silent for a while, and suddenly put his hands behind his back, turned around to look at the confrontation in the thatched cottage, and said slowly: "Elder Yuan and the others are very interested in the power in your hands!"

Niu Youdao took two steps forward, stood side by side with him, and said, "I understand! The real power of the sect is basically in the hands of the head of the sect. Elder Yuan and the others are just doing some duties as counselors, housekeepers, and running errands." Of course they are not satisfied with this. They joined forces to suppress me before, just to carve up the power in my hands. Seeing that the carve-up fails, the next step may be to make friends with me. But who is the head, let them be honest, the head I will also save face for the Supreme Elders, if they are dishonest, their positions as elders may be lost. They also understand the truth, so they dare not contact me lightly, for fear of breaking the taboo of the sect leader!"

Gong Lince: "The world is chaotic, and orders must be unified. It is difficult to stand in a state of disunity! Besides, I didn't listen to you to analyze the situation in Zijin Cave with me. I know the situation in Zijin Cave better than you!"

Niu Youdao: "I promise not to communicate secretly with Elder Yuan and the others. Zijin Cave can only order the head of the cave! Everything is different, and Elder Yan and I have no deep hatred. Communicate with him!"

The corners of Gong Lince's mouth twitched, and he squinted and said, "Wipe your butt clean, I don't want to see any more incidents happen!"

"Yes!" Niu Youdao responded.

Gong Lince: "No one in this world can do whatever they want, some things are not up to me alone, wait for the sect's decision!"

Niu Youdao: "In the sect, the head of the sect doesn't even have the ability to control this. I think the head of the sect has the final say."

Gong Lince didn't say much, and left without looking back.

One of the two returned to the camp over Zijin Cave, and the other returned to the camp in the thatched cottage.

As soon as he met the elders, Gong Lince said bluntly, "Today's matter cannot continue to affect the overall situation of the sect. There is no need to procrastinate, let's settle it! The interests of Nanzhou, Jinzhou, and Beizhou are involved in Yanzhou. How much right to speak in the country, you also know, do we want this benefit? Niu Youdao's attitude is also very firm, there are only two choices before us, or sacrifice the huge interests of Zijin Cave and the thatched cottage If you want to start a war in the academy, kill Niu Youdao and others, or give Niu Youdao an explanation. I will listen to your opinions on how to choose."

It seems that it is not difficult to make a choice. With Gong Lince's intervention, the result is obvious.

Make a decision, Yan Li is the most dissatisfied, he went to Gong Lince in private, and complained: "Brother, if I do this, how can I explain to the following disciples?"

Gong Lince immediately scolded: "You know better than anyone else who provoked the incident, and you don't pick the time to stir up trouble. You can't even control your own disciples. Who can you blame? It's not bad to be able to save their lives! What? You Do you think their face is more important than the huge interests of the entire Zijin Cave? They or you, as long as you can ensure that Nanzhou, Jinzhou, and Beizhou will not cause trouble, I will immediately order the thatched cottage to be destroyed!"

Yan Li was not reconciled, "Even if the following disciples did something wrong, does Niu Youdao have evidence? How can the following disciples be convinced without evidence!"

Gong Lince: "Are you confused, or are you getting more naive as you get older? Do some things need evidence? We can catch Niu Youdao without evidence, and Niu Youdao can deal with you without evidence! I am now Just ask you, can you carry it on?"

Zongmen has made a decision, what can Yan Li do, he just complains with a glimmer of hope, and in the end it can only be implemented.

When Yan Li learned of the final disposition of the sect, Guan Qingya, Guo Miaosheng, and An Taihua all wept, with blood stains on their bodies.

The three of them were all wounded, Guan Qingya and Guo Miaosheng were badly injured, half of their teeth were lost by Niu Youdao, while An Taihua suffered serious internal injuries.

They were injured by Niu Youdao in public, and they wanted the Zongmen to find justice for them, but they didn't expect justice, and they had to apologize to Niu Youdao after being beaten.

Now that they have apologized, it means that they are wrong, and the crime of contemptuousness has been fulfilled, and they will naturally be punished!

The three of them will be transferred to the Boundless Pavilion in the barren desert, and Guan Qingya will go to the Boundless Pavilion to be the shopkeeper.

"Master! We didn't scold Elder Niu, it was Elder Niu who deliberately framed us, and this disciple refuses to accept it!" Guan Qingya looked sad and indignant.

Yan Li: "Qing Ya, the Zongmen has made a decision, you know the consequences of fighting against the Zongmen's decision. Niu Youdao is a mad dog, catch you and bite you to death, it will be good to save your lives this time. Besides , It’s just that the place you went to was a little wronged, but your rank has not been demoted. Letting you go there temporarily is to resolve the current turmoil and not let the matter magnify. You have been wronged for the benefit of the sect. You all know that with me here, I just let you go for a while, and I will find a chance to get you back in a short time. Well, don't say more, just feel wronged in front of you, admit it!"

He thought that he had saved the lives of the three of them, and Lince would not tell him some inside information, but the result of admitting it was the three jars of poisoned wine given by the thatched cottage, and he couldn't drink it!

PS: If you don’t need a monthly pass, you can throw it to me as garbage!
