Lu Youshan knew very well that Lu Li was truly enraged. Otherwise, Lu Youshan could send someone from the Lu Alliance to bring Lu An back and deal with him in private.
The entire Tianyue City was alarmed by such a large number of people. Based on Lu Li's character, he would kill the chicken to warn the monkey.
Lu An's status was the most respected among the four young masters. It could be said that he was the leader of the four.
Since Lu Li wanted to punish the chicken to warn the monkey, how could he let Lu An go?
Also, Lu Youshan had heard that Lu An was Lu Li's adopted son, but it didn't seem like they were particularly close.
Therefore, Lu Youshan was wondering if Lu Li was going to kill Lu An to frighten all the young masters of the Reaper God.
As the upper echelons of the God of Death, Lu Youshan and many elders did not wish for this to happen.
First of all, he didn't want Lu Li to shed tears and kill his son. Otherwise, the entire Lu Family and the Grim Reaper would not be able to live in peace.
Secondly, they didn't want Lu Li to be so ruthless. Which family didn't have one or two playboys?
Which family didn't have some shady dealings?
As the upper echelon of the God of Death, as the ruler, what was the point of becoming the upper echelon if he didn't have any special privileges?
Many patriarchs hoped that Lu Li would not kill his son. Otherwise, it would not be fun for them.
If Lu Li dared to kill his own son, then in the future, any young master that did something wrong would have to be executed. Otherwise, Lu Li's son would have died in vain.
Since the rules were set, they could only follow them in the future.
Lu Youshan secretly sent a message to Lu An, telling him to be smart. Lu Li believed that Lu An was investigating the situation. If Lu An could admit his mistake and recant, for example, that he was not the main culprit, then Lu Youshan could go with the flow and spare Lu An from death.
"Father?"
Lu An's face revealed a trace of fear. His eyes were also filled with shock. His complexion turned pale and he didn't dare to say another word.
He became a yes-man, looking like a coward. He was no longer as arrogant as before.
Lu Youshan brought them back to the Punishment Hall and began to interrogate them personally.
The women who had been harmed had also been found, as well as their clansmen.
Also, they found some witnesses. Lu Youshan dared not to deceive them. Lu Li was in a fit of anger.
The matter was actually very clear. Now it was just a matter of how to convict him.
At this moment, the Winged Sovereign also sent a voice transmission over. His meaning was similar to what Lu Youshan had thought. They definitely had to convict him. In fact, they could even kill the other three young masters. However, Lu An could not be sentenced to death.
The Winged Sovereign gave Lu Youshan an order to think of a way to exonerate Lu An. Lu An could be spared from the death penalty, but he did not mind being punished. He just wanted to keep his life first.
At this point, this matter became very interesting.
It was like a father trying to kill his son, but others were trying their best to help the son get out of the crime. Lu Li had nothing to say and could not find any reason.
This was an arduous task!
Lu Youshan felt a headache coming on. He thought about it and sent a voice transmission to a hall master under him. He asked him to secretly explain to Lu An and teach him how to clear his guilt.
As long as she wasn't the main culprit and was abducted, there was still room for manipulation.
In addition, he had to instruct the other three Young Masters to make one of them the main culprit, and the other Young Masters to be the accomplices. Then, everyone would have a unified statement, and only the main culprit would be killed.
This would be risky, because Lu Li was likely to be investigating the situation here. It would be easy for him to be exposed.
It might be an arduous and fruitless task. By then, Lu Youshan might be removed from the position of patriarch by a furious Lu Li.
"Let's do it. Even if I am removed from the position of patriarch, I cannot sentence Lu An to death!"
Lu Youshan made up his mind after weighing the pros and cons. If Lu An was sentenced to death, then the Lu Family would hate him. Lu Youshan would lose his position on Lu Li's side.
On top of that, he would offend other Young Masters. By then, he wouldn't be able to survive in the Grim Reaper.
Exonerating himself might offend Lu Li, but he was trying to save Lu Li's son. Even if he was removed from the position, he could come back when Lu Li was appeased.
Hall Masters began to send messages to Gu Xi, the young master of the Gu Family, to be the main culprit. There was no other way. Gu Qi was the last to be promoted and he had the weakest foundation in the Grim Reaper.
Also, this young master of the Gu Family was not valued in the family. Gu Qi wouldn't mind.
This young master of the Gu Family, Gu Xi, was silly. One of the Hall Masters asked him to cooperate.
He said that he could find a way to keep Gu Xi alive and that he would be locked up for 10,000 years. When Lu Li was appeased, they would find a way to get him out …
Another Hall Master sent a message to the witnesses, asking them to cooperate.
Lu Youshan sat on the throne and began his trial with a straight face. He interrogated them one by one until he got to the bottom of the matter.
Lu An and the other three were having fun at the Heavenly King City. They ran into a group of young ladies. Some of the young ladies were pretty, which aroused the lust of the young master of the Gu Family.
Therefore, he stopped a group of young ladies and tried to make friends with them.
Those young ladies were from small families. Since they were young masters of major families, they didn't dare to offend them.
Therefore, they went to a tavern. As soon as they arrived, the four young masters showed their true colors. They began to flirt with the young ladies and even molest them.
Those young ladies were from decent families, pure and clean. They could not accept the education they had received since they were young. Some of them began to fight back.
The young master of the Gu Family was enraged. He killed two young ladies in person and captured the others.
Then, the four young masters began to act like beasts. Some of the young ladies tried to fight back but some were tortured to death by the beastly young masters.
When the families of those young ladies found out about this, the young masters of the two families were furious and came to rescue them.
They were all killed by the guards brought by the young master of the Gu Family. Then, they heard that the two families were dissatisfied and wanted to complain to Tianyue City. The young master of the Gu Family led people over to silence them …
That was pretty much what happened. But according to the testimony, most of the blame had to be borne by the young master of the Gu Family.
He was the one who was lustful. He was the one who invited the young ladies back. He was also the one who killed them. He was also the one who wiped out the two families.
Lu An and the other two young masters were just accomplices. They were just helping the evildoer.
This kind of situation was very common among the young masters of the Grim Reaper. Not just the Grim Reaper, many young masters of the major families had such bad habits.
Those young ladies' families, including the young ladies who survived, and the witnesses didn't dare to speak recklessly.
They weren't stupid. Although the Disciplinary Hall made a move, they were all descendants of major families. It was obvious that they were just putting on an act. If they spoke recklessly, they would end up like the two families that were wiped out.
"Alright!"
Lu Youshan made up his mind. He made up his mind and said, "After my detailed investigation, the matter is basically clear.
Now, I pronounce that Gu Xi and the other three have violated the law. Their crimes cannot be pardoned. Gu Xi is sentenced to death.
As for the other three … "
"Buzzing ~"
Right at that moment, the space in the Disciplinary Hall trembled. Then Lu Li suddenly showed up.
He looked at Lu Youshan coldly and said, "Patriarch Lu, is it because Lu An and the other three are not the masterminds and they are first-time offenders? So, they can be spared from death but not punishment?
Lu Youshan, this is a good arrangement. You have done it well. You must have done it before. "
