Mo Ziyun's voice was sonorous and powerful. After he finished speaking, he looked at Qiu Daozi with begging eyes, and winked at the other elders. Those elders reacted, they paused, and then they all stood up together. The elder took the lead and said:
"The Great Elder, the Great Elder is right. It is all my fault. If you want to punish me, I will be punished. I am willing to be punished. For the sake of my clan’s eternal peace, please think twice."
"It's all my faults. I'm willing to be punished. For the sake of my patriarch, please think twice about the elders." The situation is grim now. It is not a time to care about who is right and who is wrong. After the second elder's voice fell, the remaining ones The elders also agreed in unison.
In fact, these elders were able to stand up because their minds were the same as those of the great elders. They were afraid that Qin Qianjun would train the army, strengthen the Qin clan, and then return to China. Therefore, they violated their promises and angered Guiguzi. , Finally brought extinction to the Qin clan.
I was also afraid that Qin Qianjun and Qiu Daozi would continue to fight like this, and he would perish before returning to China and Guiguzi.
Therefore, Mo Ziyun came out to complete the battle. After Qiu Daozi and Qin Qianjun had no objections, these elders would put aside the previous dissatisfaction ideas, stand up to him, and take the fault and responsibility with him on himself. .
Everyone understands this approach. The elders suddenly changed their attitudes. By sacrificing themselves, they gave the two big brothers a step. It was not that they were truly great, but because they had no choice but to stand up and adjust. In this way, the essence of resolving disputes peacefully without bloodshed is just a temporary strain. The pedantry that has been imprinted in their bones still exists and has never disappeared.
However, the voices of the elders heard Qiu Daozi's ears, his mood was complicated, and he was unable to speak for a while: "You, you..."
Qiu Daozi was originally playing on the mainland, but he hurried back this time without rest, so he called Qin Qianjun to question him, all because these elders gave him a small report saying that Qin Qianjun’s recent behavior is dangerous and is attracting the Qin clan. On the road to extinction, he needs to come back to stop it.
However, what Qiu Daozi did not expect is that now he and Qin Qianjun are in a quarrel. Not only do these elders do not stand by his side, they do not correct Qin Qianjun’s fault and ask him to deal with Qin Qianjun in accordance with the law. He was very angry when he stood up to make a round.
Of course, being angry is one thing, Qiu Daozi is not confused, he naturally understands why those elders would do this
Because he and Qin Qianjun are both Misty Peaks giants, and they are the two most powerful people in the Qin clan. If they continue to make trouble, they basically don’t need to think about it. This is what all Qin people don’t want. The results I saw included him and Qin Qianjun.
However, Qiu Daozi, as the Supreme Elder, has always been the supreme being in the Qin Clan and the Misty Peak. They have always spoken well. Now if they are punished according to the words of the elders, he and Qin Qianjun will give up. .
In this way, the matter seems to be resolved and he can also show his magnanimity, but it is not. Because once this matter is spread, others will only say that he is oversight and listening to the wind is rain, which will affect his prestige in the clan, and Qin Qianjun’s reputation will definitely rise again, which is not what Qiu Daozi would like to watch. To the phenomenon.
Thinking of this, Qiu Daozi couldn't help but hesitate. His eyes flickered, and he couldn't make up his mind for a while, wondering what to do
Mo Ziyun is a smart person. Seeing Qiu Daozi's expression change, he quickly guessed Qiu Daozi's thoughts. He knew why Qiu Daozi hesitated—the steps were not enough.
After thinking about this, Mo Ziyun only thought about it, and he had an idea in an instant. No nonsense, he said directly:
"Elder Tai, it has not been easy for our clan to develop so far. If you and the clan leader go down because of our mistakes, and take our clan on the road to ruin, then I can't atone for my sins even if I die. It's better to take advantage of the current situation. If it can still be controlled, let's stop and find a solution first."
Mo Ziyun was trying to catch him. When he said these words, there was no embarrassment on his face. Qiu Daozi saw this in his eyes, and he naturally knew that Mo Ziyun must have a solution.
Qiu Daozi didn't want to continue the stalemate. He didn't want to break the reconciliation atmosphere created by the elders. He only paused, then wisely borrowed the donkey from the slope, followed Mo Ziyun's words, and asked: "Then what do you say? ?"
This sentence is what Mo Ziyun wants to hear most. He knows that Qiu Daozi has softened. This is not easy. The so-called opportunity cannot be missed. He hurriedly replied: "Elder Too, things have become like this. Human is wrong."
"First of all, I waited for the patriarch not to persuade him to continue such dangerous behavior. This is the fault of my waiting."
"Secondly, I did not deal with it seriously, did not come up with effective measures to stop the patriarch's behavior, so I recklessly invited you back. This is also my fault."
"In the end, this whole thing started because of the patriarch, but he argued with you, didn't think about it, and went his own way. It was his fault."
Mo Ziyun stated the truth one by one. He blamed the mistake on Qin Qianjun and himself and others, and put aside Qiu Daozi. He found that Qiu Daozi was very satisfied with what he said. Although Qin Qianjun and the other elders did not look good, they also There was no objection.
In this way, Mo Ziyun knew that everyone had acquiesced to what he said, and he no longer circumscribed, and continued to say solemnly:
"Elder Tai, I am so guilty that I dare not pray for your forgiveness. I would like to deduct one year of salary to compensate for the loss caused to the clan. If there are other punishments in the clan, I am willing to bear it."
"But although the patriarch made a mistake this time, he has made a lot of contributions to our clan. You will deduct his three months of salary as punishment for his hard work. So, let's just let this happen. It's over."
Mo Ziyun can be said to be well-intentioned. As the great elder, he is in charge of punishment within the clan, and other elders dare not listen to his words. Therefore, even though the other elders were dissatisfied with the punishment he proposed, they did not dare to oppose it at this critical moment, and they could only give uncomfortable acquiescence.
This was all in Mo Ziyun’s expectation. He was not surprised. He just looked at Qin Qianjun with some worry. After all, Qin Qianjun is the patriarch, and his decision cannot include him. Once Qin Qianjun opposes, he If the proposal is not established, it will not take effect.
Fortunately, the situation is special now, Qiu Daozi can put the overall situation as the most important, temporarily put aside personal grievances, and listen to Mo Ziyun's advice. Qin Qianjun is much more enlightened than this pedantic old guy. He is dedicated to the Qin Clan, and naturally he is not a last resort. He will not make a decision that is harmful to the Qin Clan.
Therefore, in the face of Mo Ziyun's painstaking efforts, Qin Qianjun would certainly not disappoint his good intentions. He did not hesitate, and immediately put aside his prejudices, nodded slightly, silently, and acquiesced to Mo Ziyun's statement.
In this way, the opinions were unified, and the storm that could cause extremely serious consequences was temporarily calmed down. Qiu Daozi glanced at Qin Qianjun, he put away the unhappiness in his heart, and then said to the people:
"Just do what the great elder said. You and other elders are not doing well, they are fined and deducted for one year, and they went to the Wanfeng Tunnel in the clan to think about it for three months, and reflect on the lessons this time."
"As the patriarch, Qin Qianjun acted recklessly, knew his mistakes and did not correct him. He even went against the elders. He was fined and deducted three months of salary. He went to the ancestor's shrine to face the spiritual position of my Qin ancestors and sects for one month. , Give me a good idea of what should be done and what should not be done. This time, let’s forget about it. Next time someone doesn’t know what’s good or bad, they must be severely punished and never tolerated!"
Qiu Daozi gritted his teeth. On the one hand, his words were accusing the elders, and more were directed at Qin Qianjun. After all, although Qin Qianjun was finally punished this time, in fact, Qiu Daozi's face was still lost. Did not retreat from the whole body.
Therefore, as soon as the punishment content was announced, Qiu Daozi no longer wanted to stay in this hall. He calmly said, "Go down.", and quickly left the hall alone.
After Qiu Daozi left, the other elders didn't mean to stay. They were silent and left one after another.
In an instant, the people in the hall were almost gone. The hall that was originally extremely noisy at this time also began to become quiet, leaving only a trace of vicissitudes and loneliness.
In the end, only Qin Qianjun and Mo Ziyun were left in the hall. Mo Ziyun looked at the sky outside. He came to Qin Qianjun and whispered, "Patriarch, I'm sorry."
