National Star Sea Era

In front of him, Song Li, who looked a little stiff, turned his head and blinked his eyes, trying his best to signal Song Yufeng to stop talking.

Although Song Zhihao was an elder of the Hou Jin clan who had just been promoted to the Zhulu Ship a few decades ago, he was already a powerful figure in the family, otherwise it would not have been his turn to garrison this "large thunder stone vein".

If you really pissed off this person, you wouldn't be killed on the spot, but there would be too many ways that the other person could do it secretly, and you might even be severely injured on the spot.

Song Yufeng didn't seem to notice Song Li's gesture at all, and the words in his mouth still didn't stop.

This also completely exhausted Song Zhihao's patience. As a newly promoted patriarch of the family, he has already entered the top ranks. In recent decades, he has been respected by everyone and can make changes with his words and deeds.

How could he endure Song Yufeng's repeated provocations and questions?

"The evidence is solid, but they are still messing around and disrupting order. According to the family law, the Xinhuo Ancestral Aperture should be abolished and expelled from the family!"

As he spoke, the fourth-level coercion he had just restrained surged out again, crashing down on Song Yufeng's old body below.

"Old Zhihao clan, no!"

Song Lizhen did not expect Song Zhihao's reaction to be so great. He abolished the Xinhuo Ancestral Aperture and was expelled from the family. This was a punishment for a huge crime. Song Yufeng's previous behavior was far less than this.

However, Song Zhihao didn't pay attention to Song Li, whose expression changed drastically. His eyes were gloomy and his attitude was extremely firm.

And before his own pressure was about to be fully exerted on Song Yufeng, he added one last sentence lightly.

"Ancestor, please seek justice? As the guard with full authority over this Thunder Stone Mine, here, I am the Ancestor!!"

This voice was calm, and there was no sense of disobedience coming from Song Zhihao's mouth, as if it was true as he said, in this thunder stone mine, he, Song Zhihao, was the sky that shrouded everyone's heads.

Behind Song Li, there was no fluctuation in Song Yufeng's turbid eyes. Under the gaze of Song Zhihao, Song Li, Song Lu, and a large number of mining slaves around him, he slowly took out an object from the Xinhuo Ancestral Aperture, an object emitting a faint black light. of jade.

The moment he caught the obscure black light emitting from the jade, Song Zhihao's pupils shrank from high in the air.

He seemed to think of something.

The cold, sinister and other emotions that were originally gathered on his face subsided slightly, and turned into a trace of surprise.

But before he could think any more, Song Yufeng, who was just holding the jade in his hand, spoke again.

"Ancestor please seek justice!"

As he spoke, before the pressure of life in the sky came down, the nether energy surged in his body and slowly poured into the jade in his hand.

With the injection of these strands of ghostly energy, the jade that originally only emitted a faint black light suddenly became full of black light, and the jade quickly floated into the air from the palm of Song Yufeng's hand.

The next second, under the eyes of tens of thousands of creatures in the Thunder Stone Mine, eternal black light covered the entire sky of the mine. When the black light dissipated again, a projection of a battleship of staggering size appeared in the sky of the Thunder Stone Mine.

"People from the Song clan have met Chi Zu!!"

Seeing clearly the projection of the battleship above their heads that blocked the sky and the sun, all the Song family members in the Thunder Stone Mine bowed in unison.

Inside the projection of Tianxu Cangqiong, Song Chi ignored these. His eyes moved down and fell on Song Yufeng, who was covered in blood.

"What happened?"

The words echoed over the entire mine through the battleship, but Song Chi was a little surprised in his heart.

Song Yufeng was the steward of the family's Longji branch in Morning Star Yanglu when he arrived in Chenxingyanglu. He had just been included in the family line at that time and his reputation had not yet been established. However, under this situation, the other party still tried his best to help. I helped him a lot.

At that time, he took the initiative to express his gratitude to the other party, which was also the reason why he subsequently handed over a projection emperor stone to the other party.

Originally, he thought that this projection emperor stone would be used in the alien star realm, but he did not expect that Song Yufeng would use it here, which really surprised him.

But since the other party has been activated, he naturally won't say anything and directly asks about the specific situation that happened here before.

Under the projection of Tianxu Cangqiong, Song Zhihao, who had recovered from shock and panic, hurriedly spoke:

"The family's new captain, Song Zhihao, met Chi Zu. Here's what happened..."

Before he could finish speaking, a powerful psionic energy suddenly emitted from the projection of the dreadnought, completely surrounding Song Zhihao.

At this moment, Song Zhihao was just like Song Yufeng before. His whole body was under strong pressure. However, Song Chi had a sense of proportion. This pressure only made Song Zhihao's words stop abruptly and did not cause him any injuries.

After all, he still doesn't understand the cause and effect of the matter, and he can't yet judge who is right and who is wrong.

"Let him speak!"

After receiving Song Chi's signal, Song Yufeng quickly recounted the entire incident in detail.

After listening, the pressure emanating from the projection of the battleship above the mine became heavier again, making it difficult for the creatures in the entire mine to even breathe.

Inside the battleship projection, the distraction projected by Song Chi was now filled with anger. The oppression emanating from the entire battleship projection was far ten to a hundred times stronger than the outside world.

According to what Song Yufeng said before, there were people guarding the Thunder Stone Mine who were stealing and appropriating the clan's property. The key was that after being discovered, they killed the discoverer on the spot without any scruples. They even turned against Tiangang and stole the clan's property. The blame for the crime was pinned on a dead man, which can be said to cover the sky with one hand.

If this is true, Song Chi couldn't imagine that under the leadership of several people who worked hard and devoted themselves to the family, the family had become so corrupt?

Thinking of this, he turned his eyes and looked at Song Li in front of Song Yufeng.

He had some impression of this person.

"Are you from the Inspection Hall?"

"Replying to Grandpa Chi, your grandson Song Li is currently the captain of the 6th Inspection Team under the Inspection Hall."

Hearing this, Song Chi nodded gently.

"In this case, then tell me, is what Song Yufeng said just now true?"

Song Li did not reply immediately, but organized his words well, and then under the gaze of Song Zhihao, who was staring at him with gloomy eyes, he slowly said:

"Replying to Grandpa Chi, your grandson is not sure whether it is true, but there are indeed many doubts in this case."

Without Song Chi asking, Song Li continued to talk about the doubts he thought.

"First, Song Xing was killed by the elder of Zhihao clan himself, on the grounds that Song Xing embezzled clan property. But even if that was true, there was no need to kill him directly. After taking him down, he was handed over to the Inspection Hall. All clan members knew that this was the most reasonable way. He was not a captain of the same level, and he could be suppressed with a flip of his hand. Zhihao clan elders' actions did have a certain meaning of trying to cover up the truth."

"Secondly, according to our investigation, although Rong Xing did sneak into the depths of the mine, the same was true for Manager Song Lu."

"Finally, according to the family data we retrieved before coming here, Manager Song Lu's battle power has always been medium among the same level in the past two hundred years. However, after falling into the Thunder Stone Mine, he was not only quickly promoted to a cruiser, but also his battleship was extremely strong among the cruisers of the same level. Coincidentally, he rarely explored alien star regions, and basically stayed in this Thunder Stone Mine for many years. "

When Song Li clearly stated the three doubts word for word, Song Lu on the opposite side suddenly glared and immediately retorted:

"Captain Song Li, which eye of yours saw that I rarely participated in alien star region exploration? I happened to obtain a lot of strange things in an alien star region exploration decades ago. Isn't it normal that the battleship of my battleship is higher? "

Song Chi was too lazy to pay attention to this meaningless excuse. He withdrew his hand and removed the phantom energy around Song Zhihao, allowing him to restore his ability to speak.

"Zhihao, do you have anything to say about these points? Think about it before answering!"

Facing Song Chi's plain inquiry, Song Zhihao's heart tightened. He had a deep impression of Song Chi and was also very clear about Song Chi's status in the clan.

But his answer was very quick.

"Chi Zu, you can't just listen to one person's words about this kind of thing. The reason why I killed Song Xing was because he had embezzled a huge amount of family property in recent decades. There were more than a hundred low-level thunder crystals alone, and more than ten mid-level thunder crystals. It is unforgivable!" "As for Song Lu, I don't know anything about this person."

In the projection of Tianxu Cangqiong, Song Chi's distracted mouth flashed a sneer.

"Okay, since you said it yourself, as a senior member of the family, I naturally believe you, but..."

He turned his voice and looked at Song Lu below.

Understanding the meaning of his words, Song Zhihao, who breathed a sigh of relief, turned his eyes and then whispered:

"Chi Zu, since this person is suspicious, do you need me to let someone go down and interrogate him?"

Song Chi shook his head without hesitation.

"No, I can let him speak."

As he said that, a faint light shot out from the projection of Tianxu Cangqiong.

The dim light accurately penetrated the pale face of Song Lu below.

The next second, the expression on the face of this manager Song Lu suddenly changed. He was no longer nervous, but looked up and looked at the projection of Tianxu Cangqiong in the sky respectfully, as if Tianxu Cangqiong was everything to him at this moment.

"Chi Zu, this..."

Song Zhihao was shocked in the depths of his eyes, but he still concealed it well and quickly turned around.

Song Chi ignored his reaction and asked first:

"I ask you, does Song Xing have a grudge against you?"

After the first question came out, Song Lu below seemed to have changed into a different person, and replied respectfully:

"My Lord, yes!"

Song Chi then asked again.

"Why did Song Xing die?"

"My Lord, he was killed by the elder of Zhihao clan."

Below the projection of the warship, Song Zhihao's breathing had slowed to the extreme, and unconsciously, he clenched his fists tightly.

However, this did not stop Song Chi from asking the third question:

"Why did you kill Song Xing?"

"My Lord, because Song Xing..."

At this point, Song Lu's voice stopped abruptly.

Seeing this sudden change, Song Yufeng, Song Li and others below all changed their expressions and looked up with doubts.

Coincidentally, a faint voice had also come out from the projection of the Tianxu Cangqiong.

"Have you signed a confidentiality agreement? That's really interesting!"

Mumbling to himself, Song Chi's voice suddenly changed.

"Zhihao, what do you think?"

This sudden change in voice startled Song Zhihao, who was already getting more and more nervous.

At this point, basically those who were interested could guess what was going on.

Taking advantage of the moment of shock, another faint light shot out, this time it was no longer falling into Song Lu's eyebrows, but Song Zhihao.

The two faint lights that shot out before and after naturally came from the [Master-Servant Contract] component.

The [Master-Servant Contract] component focuses on the voluntary consent of both parties. If it is signed by force, the success rate will be greatly reduced.

So Song Chi took advantage of his distracted state to shoot the light of the contract in order to increase the success rate. In addition, he was two levels higher than the other party, and finally successfully completed the signing of the contract.

As Song Zhihao's frightened face suddenly turned back to respect, Song Chi quickly issued an order.

"Tell us everything about this matter without leaving out a single detail."

"Yes, master."

After signing the master-servant contract, although Song Zhihao did not lose his subjective consciousness, facing the order of his master Song Chi, he was completely unable to resist, and finally could only carefully tell the whole story of the matter.

"Hahaha, this is the new generation of the family elders, embezzling the family property, killing the family members indiscriminately, selfish... It's really disgusting!"

After hearing Song Zhihao say that he had commissioned Song Lu to secretly trade [Thunder Crystal], and after being discovered by Song Xing, he directly killed people to cover up these words, Song Yufeng below laughed loudly.

This laughter was filled with deep sorrow and hatred, as well as indescribable heartbreak.

Once upon a time, this old man loved his family so much, was proud of being born in the Dinghai Song family, and dedicated his life to the family.

How could he have imagined at that time that the family he loved so much would become so rotten in just a few hundred years.

Song Chi did not stop it, or he felt the same way at the moment.

He remembered very clearly that the family's atmosphere was much better than it is now. There might be fights between the various branches, but that was definitely a healthy competition within the rules, and it was definitely not like this now.

After a long silence, his voice with a hint of hoarseness rang over the entire mine:

"The family has developed too fast in the past few hundred years, and its strength has indeed increased a lot, but I didn't expect that it would also spawn many termites and scum. The family will soon give all the clansmen a satisfactory explanation for this matter!"

After that, he made some new arrangements for the subsequent management of the Leishi Mine.

After doing all this, the virtual ship of Tianxu Cangqiong slowly turned from virtual to real, and took Song Zhihao and Song Lu, including Song Li, Song Yufeng and others, back to the Dragon Ridge Continent tens of thousands of light years away.

Dragon Ridge Divine Mountain, Dragon Whale Hall.

After listening to all the content repeated by Song Chi, the faces of the six people in the hall were all extremely ugly.

For the entire family's inheritance of more than 3,000 years, this situation is extremely rare, not to mention that the initiator is a captain of Zhulu.

Before, they could hardly imagine it.

"This matter must be dealt with as soon as possible, and I think this may not be an isolated case!"

"I agree. The family has developed too fast in the past few hundred years, so fast that many young members of the family are very impetuous and extravagant. The family atmosphere has indeed been greatly affected in recent years."

"After all, we miscalculated. We only focused on improving the family's strength, but ignored the management of the family, allowing some people who are enjoying the fruits of their labor but are still not satisfied to emerge."

"Investigate, must investigate strictly, all those who are corrupt and commit serious crimes must be strangled after a strict investigation, and must not be left alone!"

"Otherwise, after my Longji Song family has been passed down for thousands of years, I don't know how rotten it will be!"
