LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 50
In an instant, Shen Ren's face turned pale. It turned out that from the very beginning, he had fallen into the trap carefully laid by Shen Yuan!
Moreover, now he doesn't even have the means to defend himself, because last night when Shen Yuan forcibly invaded his soul body with Thousand Illusion Spirit Pupils, he was in too much pain and screamed too loudly. Shen Yuan thought it was too noisy, so he Let him destroy his vocal cords.
"The elder of the law enforcement hall."
"exist."
"I remember that according to Shen family rules, this kind of treason should be divided into five pieces, right?"
"Master Qi, yes, you remember correctly."
"Very good, and through the Sixth Elder's incident, I also understood a truth, that is, no matter how high their status in the Shen family is, some people cannot truly be of the same mind as the Shen family, and they will still betray them. The Shen family’s plan.”
He glanced at everyone: "The higher the status of these people, the greater the impact on the Shen family if they betray the Shen family."
"So, I plan to create an organization in the Shen family from tomorrow. This organization is called the Supervision Department. As the name suggests, the responsibility of my Supervision Department is to supervise everyone. Of course, if you don't do anything bad, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. , the clan elders shouldn’t disagree, right?”
Several other elders were shocked.
Inspector, isn't that just for investigating them? In this way, wouldn’t elders be restricted in everything they do?
"Master, are you kidding?!"
"Yes, you can't doubt all of us elders just because the sixth elder betrayed the Shen family. We are loyal to the Shen family!"
"Yes, Patriarch, don't forget that we elders still have the power to impeach you. If you push us into a hurry..."
Although the words were not finished, the threat contained in them was self-evident.
The law enforcement elders do not have the power to impeach. The nine elders have the power to impeach. The sixth elder has surrendered, so there are still eight other elders.
These eight elders have now formed a unified front, and they obviously do not want Shen Yuan to succeed.
"It seems that you are not very willing..."
Shen Yuan's eyes became a little dangerous.
But at this moment, the eight elders were not afraid at all. Shen Yuan had Shen Yuan's confidants, didn't they? If Shen Yuan planned to force it, the Shen family members of their lineage would not agree.
When the time comes, Shen Yuan's troubles will make the Shen family unhappy and they will not be able to lead the Shen family well.
"It's not that we are unwilling, but the request of the family leader is too overbearing. The right way is to repay kindness and revenge. If the sixth elder betrays the family, he alone bears the responsibility. How can we be allowed to sit together?"
"Yes, if the position of the Sixth Elder is abolished, I agree, but if we want to set up an inspectorate, the head of the family is a little too overbearing, isn't it?"
These old foxes... Shen Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, "You are all heroes of our Shen family. I just hope that you can spend your old age peacefully and share your family. Why should you work so hard for the sake of the family at your age? Are you working hard day and night?"
"We are all members of the Shen family. It is our duty to make suggestions and look forward to the future for our Shen family."
"In this case, you don't want a situation like the Sixth Elder to happen again, right? I set up the Inspectorate out of good intentions. I don't want your hard work for the family to go to waste. You should understand me."
Immediately, Shen Yuan changed the subject, "Is there anyone like the Sixth Elder among you who has not been found out by me? That's why you are trying to obstruct him in every possible way right now?! Huh?"
"This……"
"Besides, you eight are sharing the same enemy now, but what if there are pretenders among them? Are there people like the Sixth Elder? I just caught one ghost, but that doesn't mean there is only one ghost in our Shen family."
"Perhaps, he hides deeper than Shen Ren..."
For a moment, the elders were speechless. Now that something like this happened among the elders, it seemed unjustifiable to prevent the establishment of this organization.
All the elders looked at each other. It seemed that Shen Yuan was determined to establish the Inspectorate. If he didn't agree, his label of being "the same as the Sixth Elder" would be removed.
Moreover, the eight elders do not know whether there are any other elders who have betrayed the family like the sixth elder!
They also don’t want their half-life efforts to end up being someone else’s wedding dress.
At this moment, two elders were obviously shaken.
Rather than having their power weakened and restricted, they are more afraid of losing everything completely.
"Yes, since the six elders have betrayed the head of the family, it is very possible for the other elders to betray the family."
"Yes, I think the original intention of the family owner is correct. We really need such an organization to discover the dangerous factors hidden in our Shen family as soon as possible."
But at the same time, there are still voices of opposition.
"But once this organization appears, it means that our elders will be restricted in everything we do!"
Restricted everywhere? Shen Yuan sneered, he wanted to completely destroy these elders!
However, he understands the truth of biting off more than he can chew, and he cannot do so now. If he does, then these eight elders will truly unite the front.
After all, no one wants to be deprived of their own interests.
Although with Shen Yuan's current strength, it is not a problem to deal with them, but what Shen Yuan wants is not to deal with them, but the entire Shen family.
If they are forceful, the disciples of the Shen family under their management will cause riots. That was not the result Shen Yuan wanted to see.
So, don't rush, take your time, since you have plenty of time now.
The Inspectorate is a temptation.
Looking at their unwillingness to back down, when he just said that there might be a traitor among them, they were shaken.
These people are really...
"That's right, the original intention of this family leader in establishing the Inspectorate was also for the consideration of the clan elders. For example, the Sixth Elder may have leaked all your information to Ji Yaochi."
"So, the Inspectorate is still necessary to prevent people like the Sixth Elder from appearing!"
"But speaking of this..." the Great Elder said worriedly, "The Sixth Elder may have informed Her Majesty the Empress about the contents of our previous meeting. In other words, Her Majesty the Empress knows your next plan, so will she first To take advantage of others?"
Indeed, Shen Yuan's move was not without risk. Although the Sixth Elder fell into the trap, the bait that lured him to the bait was his own gathering, which was tantamount to treason.
The Sixth Elder must have met the Empress before, otherwise the Empress would not have killed Xiao Dezi. During the time when he met the Empress, he was likely to have informed the Empress of that meeting.
In other words, the empress knew what Shen Yuan, or the Shen family, wanted to do next. But she didn't show it openly.
Unspoken!
"The empress has spoken!"
At this moment, a sharp eunuch's voice came. It immediately attracted the attention of everyone present. Since it was the empress's command, the disciples of the Shen family naturally did not dare to stop it.
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, Your Majesty the Empress heard that Your Majesty the Prime Minister had a slight rift with Mr. Wei at the Hundred Sects Conference and cured the little Princess Qianrou, so Your Majesty held a banquet in Jiahe Palace to entertain the two of you. In order to express your gratitude to the Prime Minister for saving Qian Rou, Princess Rou, on the other hand, I also hope that the Prime Minister can turn the hostility with Mr. Wei into friendship. Your Majesty is working hard and please the Prime Minister to arrive on time on the [-]th."
Shen Yuan saluted, unable to find a single fault.
"Since it is Your Majesty's heart, please tell Your Majesty that the truth will arrive on time."
"That's very good." The old eunuch smiled, "Then I will resign."
"Father-in-law, walk slowly."
……
After the father-in-law walked away, the eldest elder hurriedly said: "Master, you can't go, this is obviously the Hongmen Banquet, and the empress is ready to attack our Shen family!"
