The sky curtain makes you a useless class monitor, yet you act arbitrarily for eternity?

After those words were spoken.

The light in Zhou Erhe's eyes went completely dark.

The eldest brother's family member just went to jail because of the Dragon King.

Now, the entire Zhou family has been sentenced on the spot for imprisoning the God of War's sister.

The entire clan was executed.

Inside the ancestral hall, only the life support equipment was still running.

"Beep beep beep—"

sharp.

harsh.

Like a dull knife, it cut at Zhou Erhe's nerves again and again.

He had no way out.

The capable retainer has run away.

The connection that allowed us to stay in touch has been severed.

Those big shots who used to take money from the Zhou family, drink Zhou family wine, and call Zhou family women brothers now don't dare to answer a single phone call.

Even in those communications that hadn't been disconnected yet, all that remained was angry cursing.

"Zhou Erhe! Has your Zhou family gone mad?!"

"You dare to imprison the sister of the God of War?!"

"Don't contact me! I don't know you!"

"You've killed me!"

The only thing Zhou Erhe can hold onto now is the life support device in the center of the ancestral hall.

And the old man inside, so thin he was barely clinging to life.

Zhou Lang.

The Zhou family's greatest achievement a century ago.

It was also the last fig leaf that allowed the Zhou family to act so arrogantly in Nanjing all these years.

"Mars!"

"I plead guilty!"

Zhou Erhe suddenly looked up, his face covered in blood.

"I acknowledge everything the Zhou family has done!"

"Bang!"

He kowtowed heavily.

"Bang bang bang—"

With each blow, his voice, pleading for mercy, grew hoarse.

"But my grandfather also shed blood for the Dragon Kingdom!"

"He saved an entire border patrol squad in the Western Wilderness!"

"Please, I'm begging you."

"For my grandfather's sake, please spare a descendant for the Zhou family!"

"Lu Ming".

A faint voice sounded beside Lu Ming.

Han Li was standing there at some point, like a shadow that had just crawled out from a crack in the wall.

He looked at Zhou Erhe with a serious tone.

"If you don't cut the weeds at the root, they will grow back in the spring breeze."

Lu Ming's eyes remained unmoved.

Han Li added earnestly.

"Moreover, the extermination of a clan can easily breed destiny."

That's how it's written in novels.

"If you leave one, it can easily grow into a big problem."

Lu Ming gave a soft "hmm".

Then, he stepped half a step to the side.

The moonlight shone completely into the ancestral hall.

The light also shone on Zhou Erhe's pale face.

Lu Ming looked up and gazed at the door.

"Bring it up."

Outside the ancestral hall, the soldiers of the Zhenguo Army immediately turned around.

Soon, a cacophony of angry curses erupted from outside the courtyard.

"Go easy on me! I'm Zhou Lang's own son! If you dare touch me, those veterans of the Western Wilderness won't let you get away with it!"

"Ouch! Murder! The Zhenguo Army is harassing a woman! I'm going to sue you for indecent assault!"

"Let me go! My uncle is at City Hall! Do you still want to keep your jobs?"

"Get out of here! You bunch of stinking soldiers! When I get out of here, I'll have my dad sell your whole family!"

The commotion grew closer.

Zhou Erhe abruptly stopped kowtowing.

He stiffly raised his head.

The next second, more than a dozen men, women, and children were escorted to the ancestral hall by the Zhenguo Army.

These people were dressed in luxurious clothes.

Some people are wearing jade thumb rings.

Some people are covered in jewelry.

Some people are still angrily cursing the Zhenguo Army.

They are direct descendants of Zhou Erhe's lineage.

They were also among the core members of the Zhou family's human trafficking network.

A young man in a custom-made suit, with half his hair disheveled, was still yelling at the soldier who was holding him.

"Do you know how much one of my watches costs?"

"Can you afford to lose a year's salary?"

The wealthy woman next to her, adorned with gold and silver, screamed at the top of her lungs.

"I'm telling you, this outfit I'm wearing costs 300,000!"

"If you break it, your whole family couldn't afford to pay for it even if you sold everything!"

The old man at the front was dragged along and staggered, his face full of anger.

"I am Zhou Lang's son!"

"My dad was a hero of the Western Wilderness!"

"What right do you youngsters have to interrogate my Zhou family?!"

The Zhenguo Army soldiers' expressions remained unchanged.

"Shut up!"

"Kneel down!"

Several soldiers simultaneously raised their feet and kicked them hard in the back of the knees.

"Bang bang bang—"

More than a dozen people knelt down at the same time.

"Snap!"

The old man's knee cracked instantly, and his face contorted in pain.

"ah--"

Zhou Erhe's eyes suddenly reddened.

"dad!!"

He wanted to climb over.

Two soldiers pinned him to the spot.

On Tuesday, veins bulged on Zhou Erhe's forehead, and a low growl like that of a wild beast escaped his throat.

Available in the next second.

A childish yet sharp voice rang out from the crowd.

"You bunch of lowly soldiers!"

Everyone turned their attention to that direction.

The one speaking was a chubby little boy.

She looked no more than eleven or twelve years old, dressed in expensive children's clothes, and had a jade pendant hanging around her neck.

His face showed no fear, only the rage of being offended.

"Why are you kneeling?!"

"My grandfather said that our Zhou family are descendants of meritorious officials!"

"Those children who were sold are all orphans and trash!"

"It's their good fortune that they can make money for the Zhou family!"

The gazes of the surrounding Zhenguo Army soldiers immediately turned cold.

The chubby child hadn't noticed yet.

He pointed at Lu Ming, his chubby face turning red.

"And you!"

"He's just a soldier, isn't he?"

"My dad once said, 'The lives of you soldiers' families are the cheapest!'"

"And they're the easiest to fool!"

"Just say, 'Hey, your son wrote to me; your father asked me to deliver something!'"

"Hahaha! Those idiots got fooled!"

"Hahaha!"

"Click click click—"

The Zhenguo Army soldiers clenched their fists tightly, their eyes filled with murderous intent.

If they hadn't witnessed it with their own eyes tonight, they would never have imagined that while they were fighting the enemy on the front lines, there were beasts in the rear who dared to attack their brothers' families!

Grass!

They even dared to exploit the relatives' longing for their brothers to set a trap!

Zhou Erhe's expression changed drastically.

"Heng'er! Shut up!"

But Zhou Heng didn't listen at all.

He then saw Li Shuiwang standing to one side, and seemed to think that this person had the most tattered clothes, the strangest temperament, and was the easiest to bully.

So he pointed at Li Shuiwang and cursed him even more fiercely.

"And you, you lunatic!"

"What are you looking at?"

"My mom said people like you should be locked in a dog cage!"

"You must be a motherless slut too..."

"Pfft—"

Zhuge Wangye, who was sitting on the courtyard wall, suddenly burst out laughing.

"As expected of Young Master Shaoyu."

"You have excellent taste."
