I, Jiajing, successfully cultivated immortality

Chapter 525 Didn't you hear my words?

After receiving Hai Rui's order, Xiao Er immediately stepped forward and retrieved the confession from the solemn Zeng Hong.

Just as Zeng Hong was still thinking about what to do next, Hai Rui's unusually flat voice rang in Zeng Hong's ear.

"Since the patriarch has personally confirmed it, can he be handed over to the official?"

Hai Rui's voice was not loud, but from Zeng Hong's point of view, it was full of unquestionable meanings. What's more, it was not a tone of discussion, but an order!

Hearing this, Zeng Hong's face suddenly became extremely gloomy, and he clenched his fists subconsciously. Since he became the patriarch of the Zeng clan, it has been a long time since no one dared to speak to him like that.

After a while, Zeng Hong came back to his senses, turned his gaze to Hai Rui, gritted his teeth, and said word by word.

"Your name is Hai Rui, right? Good, good, I remember you!"

Hai Rui didn't pay any attention to Zeng Hong's threatening words, but met Zeng Hong's gaze directly, and immediately spoke quite calmly.

"Yes, that's right. I'm Hai Rui. You'd better remember my face. Don't mistake me!"

When Hai Rui said this, he looked around and swept his gaze over those members of the Zeng clan who were full of resentment, and said coldly.

"There is a way that the gentleman's virtue was cut off for the fifth generation. Even though your ancestors were called the four sages and three sages, it has been passed down to your generation. I'm afraid there is not much left of the gentleman's virtue?"

"In the final analysis, you are just a group of insects relying on the glory of your ancestors, oppressing the people, and domineering!"

When Hai Rui said this, his face was full of contempt.

Immediately, Hai Rui turned his gaze to the two-person tall statue of Zeng Shen not far away, and the whole body was gilded, and continued to add.

"If Zong Shengquan knows anything, I don't know how he will feel after learning that his descendants have fallen to where they are today!"

After Hai Rui finished speaking, he pretended to be emotional.

At this moment, seeing Hai Rui's insulting words, those members of the Zeng clan were extremely angry. If eyes could kill, then Hai Rui would have died tens of thousands of times!
Seeing this situation, Zeng Hong, who had been silent since before, had no choice but to speak out in defense.

"My lord, what do you mean?"

Hearing this, Hai Rui turned his gaze to Zeng Hong, chuckled, and then said in feigned surprise.

"It turns out that the patriarch can understand my words. If so, why take my words as a deaf ear?"

"The official asked you to hand over the person to the official, didn't you hear?"

When Hai Rui said this, he suddenly raised his tone. Zeng Hong only felt an invisible pressure enveloping him, and even his breathing became short of breath.

Seeing the humiliation of Zeng Hong, the patriarch, some members of the Zeng clan could not bear it any longer, and even wanted to break through the siege of the guards and come up to seek justice.

But before they could make a move, they were easily controlled by the soldiers of the guard, and what awaited them next was an extremely cruel end.

Seeing this situation, Hai Rui glanced over those members of the Zeng clan who wanted to resist, and immediately ordered coldly.

"Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy!"

"Yes, my lord!"

As soon as Hai Rui's words fell, the guards replied deafeningly.

Seeing the glaring weapons in the hands of the guards and the brutal methods, the remaining members of the Zeng clan completely lost the courage to resist.

After doing this, Hai Rui looked at Zeng Hong again and asked.

"Hmph, I will ask you one last time, will you hand over this person or not?"

Upon hearing this, Zeng Hong involuntarily turned his attention to the members of the Zeng clan from the Nanzong branch headed by Zeng Xian not far away.

"Patriarch, please save us, if we fall into their hands, we will end badly!"

"Yes, Patriarch, please save us, we have been wronged, we have nothing to do with the White Lotus Sect!"

"Patriarch...patriarch..."

After hesitating for a long time, Zeng Hong took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind.

After that, he turned his gaze to those not far away, headed by Zeng Xian, members of the Zeng family of the Nanzong branch, put on an expression of hating iron but not steel, and immediately said in a deep voice: "Everyone Shut up for me, don't you think it's embarrassing enough?"

"There are all witnesses and evidence, what else can you say?"

"You are deeply favored by the emperor, but you don't want to serve the court. Instead, you collude with the White Lotus Sect to harm the common people. From now on, as the No. 60 patriarch of the Zeng family, I announce that you will be officially expelled from the Zeng family's genealogy." !"

Hearing Zeng Hong's words, those Zeng family members headed by Zeng Xian, who belonged to the branch of the Southern Sect, suddenly turned ashen and despaired.

They knew very well in their hearts that in order to protect the family, they had been treated as abandoned children and completely abandoned!
After finishing all this, Zeng Hong immediately turned his gaze to Hai Rui, and said calmly.

"My lord, you can take these people away now!"

Seeing that Zeng Hong was so decisive, Hai Rui couldn't help but take a look at Zeng Honggao. The reason why he acted like this was to see if this Zeng Hong could withstand his own set of offensives.

"This Zeng Hong, it seems that he should pay more attention!"

Hai Rui thought so, and after looking Zeng Hong up and down, he looked away, cupped his hands, and immediately opened his mouth.

"Well, since the patriarch is so cooperative, there is no need for me to stay any longer!"

Immediately, Hai Rui waved his hand violently and said in a deep voice.

"Come here, take them all to this officer and interrogate them severely!"

"Yes, my lord!"

As soon as Hai Rui's words fell, some soldiers stepped forward and detained those members of the Zeng clan who had dared to resist before, as well as the members of the Zeng clan headed by Zeng Xian, who belonged to the branch of the Southern Sect.

Zeng Hong looked at the clansmen who were taken away by the guards and clenched his fists tightly. At this moment, he wished to swallow Hai Rui alive to vent his hatred.

"Hai Rui, just wait for me. My Zeng family will never let you go. I will let you understand that you cannot afford the price of offending my Zeng family!"

Seeing Hai Rui's leaving back, Zeng Hong swore secretly in his heart.

At this moment, Hai Rui seemed to have suddenly remembered something, and suddenly stopped in his tracks. He called a soldier and whispered something in his ear.

When Zeng Hong saw this situation, an extremely bad premonition flashed through his mind.

"Could it be that this Hai Rui is planning to kill someone to silence him, or..."

Just when Zeng Hong was feeling terrified and uneasy, he was guessing Hai Rui's intention in his mind.

The soldier from before came to Hai Rui again, and handed three sticks of burning incense to Hai Rui respectfully.

After Hai Rui took the incense from the hands of the soldiers, he glanced at Zeng Hong and said to himself.

"In the final analysis, I came here today to invite some people who have colluded with the White Lotus Sect to go back and assist in the investigation. It's not that I have any opinions on Zongsheng!"

After Hai Rui finished speaking, he walked past Zeng Hong on his own, and came to the long table covered with red cloth, bowed solemnly to Zeng Shen's tablet three times, and then inserted three sticks of incense into the In the incense burner.

After doing all this, Hai Rui didn't stay too long, but turned and left.

And Zeng Hong looked at the three sticks of incense sticking on the incense burner, his whole body seemed to have been greatly insulted, his face became extremely ugly, and his breathing became more and more rapid. He fell straight down.

"Ah, Patriarch, what's wrong with you?"

"Hurry up, hurry up, the patriarch has fallen!"

"What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you hurry up and invite the doctor over!"

Following the fall of Zeng Hong, the No. 60 head of the Zeng clan, the scene suddenly fell into chaos.
