If you keep making noise, I won’t stand it anymore!

The atmosphere in the reception hall of Shenxingsi was extremely strange at this moment.

The three elders sat at the top, with the clan leaders on both sides. The elder brother of the current clan leader of the Lion Clan, the former eldest prince of the Hidden Kingdom and the instigator of the war between the tribe and Haoyue last year, stood in the middle of the hall.

The momentum is quite like a trial by three judges.

The eldest prince first scanned everyone's face, and finally set his gaze on his younger brother who was sitting second from the left, with a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes.

The victor will be the king and the loser will be the bandit, but until the last moment, it is still unclear who will be the king and who will be the bandit.

A trace of disdain flashed across the eldest prince's lips, "You all came here with such a big force today, aren't you just to have a look at me like this?"

"You are so brave. If you can't speak, I don't mind sealing your mouth."

The bear chief, who was already furious, couldn't help but scold the eldest prince when he saw him being so arrogant.

"Then go ahead and do it. Am I afraid of you?"

"you!"

"Ahem," the Great Elder coughed lightly, interrupting the two people who were arguing with each other. He first glanced at the angry Bear Chief with a warning in his eyes. Now was not the time to act on impulse, and business was more important.

"Hmph!" Chief Bear, who understood the meaning in the chief's eyes, snorted coldly and turned his face away.

Seeing this, the eldest prince sneered with disdain.

"Boss of the Lion Family," the Great Elder's eyes turned cold, and he said indifferently: "I don't care what you rely on, but as long as you are still here and have not stepped out of the tribe's Shenxing Division, we have the final say, and you can't act recklessly!"

"Let me put it bluntly. If you get sick, disabled, or die, no matter how great your support is, it will be nothing but a moon in the water or a flower in the mirror!"

Those two light words shattered the eldest prince's pride and disdain. The expression froze on his face.

After a few breaths, the eldest prince sorted out his expression and said in a deep voice, "No one comes to see me for no reason. Tell me, why did you come to see me in such a grand manner today?"

"Let's be frank. I want to know if you took a bottle of hallucinogenic and crazy powder from the Lion Tribe's medicine cabinet?"

The eldest prince was stunned for a moment, then his eyes flickered, a smile crept onto his face, and his expression relaxed: "So what if it is? So what if it isn't?"

In just this moment, the clan leaders who had been secretly observing him without blinking their eyes already had the answer in their hearts. As expected, he knew it.

"Tell me, who has that bottle of medicine powder? Where did it go?" The Great Elder continued to ask affirmatively.

"Ha, why should I tell you? What good will it do me?"

"What benefit do you want?"

"I want you to let me go, restore my original status in the Lion Clan, and treat me the same as other tribes. Do not suppress me at will while you are still alive!"

The eldest prince didn't think too much and stated his request all at once.

A smart hunter would never reveal his cards too early. After just one round of fighting, the prince was already at a disadvantage.

The three elders looked at each other, and before anyone else could speak, the Rat Clan Chief sitting at the lower right spoke first: "Prince of the Lion Clan, the requests you have made are far beyond our expectations. Let us discuss it first, and then we can give you a reply!"

As he said this, he winked at his subordinate standing outside the door.

After watching the eldest prince walk out of the reception hall accompanied by two subordinates on his left and right, the rat chief turned around and met the puzzled gazes of everyone.

"Ahem." Feeling everyone's attention for the first time, the Rat Chieftain's dark face couldn't help but flush, making his entire face appear dark red and extremely wonderful.

After taking a deep breath, the Rat Chief asked, "You heard his request just now. Do you really want to agree to it?"

"How is that possible?" The tiger leader objected first.

They knew very well what kind of temper this guy had. The tribe had not yet recovered from what happened last year. If they let him go now, it would be like letting a tiger return to the mountains.

Moreover, everyone had just noticed that there was an unknown supporter behind him. In this case, they did not dare to agree easily.

"That's right, but he did remind me of something just now." The Rat Chief saw everyone nodding in agreement with the Tiger Chief's words, and then continued.

"What did I remind you of? Just tell me directly and don't keep me in suspense!" The temper of the bear chief was just like his sturdy body and explosive power. He could no longer hold back and asked anxiously.

"Did he just say there was something good about it?"

Everyone nodded again.

"That indirectly proves that he was indeed the one who took the bottle of powder, or that he knew who had it."

The other people in the room looked at each other after hearing this, and after thinking for a moment, they nodded again to agree with the Rat Chief's point of view.

"Then, I was thinking, as the saying goes, 'A passing goose leaves traces'. Since it has been done, it is impossible that there are no traces left. On the other hand, it is also possible that someone still knows about it."

"There will always be brave men under a big reward. Since the Shenxing Division set a precedent of releasing the concubine of the Lion Clan leader last year, can we follow suit now?"

After he finished speaking, the room became quiet, with only the rustling of the trees outside the window.

"How do you imitate it?" This time it was the great elder sitting at the top who spoke.

The tribe continued another fine tradition from Meixiang, that is, whenever there are outsiders present, as long as any one of them speaks, no matter whether the questions or suggestions raised are reasonable or not, the others will not refute them immediately, but will communicate in private.

So when the Rat Chief asked people to take the eldest prince away, they did not stop him.

"We can split into two teams and act separately. One team will continue to interrogate the eldest prince, and the other team will gather the other people detained in the Shenxing Division and announce an important decision on the spot."

"What decision?"

"As long as you are not a heinous criminal and provide us with information you know, no matter how big or small the matter is, we can consider giving you a reward at our discretion."

"It could be as small as a delicious meal or a new piece of clothing, or as big as letting him be a small steward, or even making an exception and letting him leave the Shenxingsi. We might have an unexpected surprise."

"Because I think that as long as it's done by the eldest prince, it's impossible that no one saw or noticed it. As long as the investment is large enough, there will always be someone who is tempted to speak up."

After the Rat Chief finished speaking, the room fell silent for the second time. Everyone lowered their heads slightly, thinking about the rationality of his method.

Half a cup of tea later, a hint of surprise flashed across the eyes of the Great Elder. He cast an admiring glance in the direction where the Rat Chief was sitting, and his admiration for Meixiang deepened.

"Ahem, what do you think of the suggestion made by the Rat Chief? Is it feasible? Everyone, please share your opinions."

The tiger leader was the first to speak out: "I think it's feasible. We can't put all our hopes on the eldest prince alone. To be honest, I don't have much trust in him."

The implicit meaning of this statement is that the tiger leader does not believe in the character of the eldest prince, and does not dare to fully believe what he says.

"That's right, I would rather believe a little girl than him! I also think the Rat Chief's method is worth a try!" The Wolf Chief followed up.

The chiefs of the tribes, including the bear, deer, rabbit, and sheep, who had suffered at the hands of the eldest prince, also nodded.

The three clan leaders sitting at the top looked at each other, and seeing that there was no objection to the Rat Clan Leader's suggestion, it was passed unanimously.

The Great Elder stood up and said, "Since everyone has no objection, then we will form groups of two and act separately. Remember, no matter how small the matter they complain about is, we must firstly be nice, secondly register it clearly, and thirdly announce the reward for him on the spot."

"As for the specific rewards, you have to grasp the specific situation. Please register first, sign and seal, and then the rewards will be arranged and executed in a unified manner."

Finally, the Great Elder gave another instruction: "As long as he opens his mouth, you must do everything you can to get the contents out of his mouth. It doesn't matter if you can't remember it at the moment. We can arrange for someone to come regularly and report back when you remember it later."

After saying that, he took the lead and walked out the door.
