C490 The Physician Is Here
These people wanted nothing more than to kill the Chen Family. There were even some who were willing to bring their own members to kill the Chen Family.
"Your Majesty, you don't have to ask about the Rakasha Hall anymore."
At this moment, Chen Chitian raised his head and said, "I, Chen Chitian, am the only one who did this. All my efforts have been in vain. I have no fate with the Chen Family's Patriarch. It seems like this is all fate. I admit it. "
He understood that he would not be able to escape death this time. As for why he said that all of this was for the position of Patriarch, it was only a reason for him to rationalize this matter.
Chen Chitian had turned the things that Chen Family had done into the internal affairs of Chen Family. In order to fight for the position of patriarch, he had secretly set up a plan, leaving the Chen Family behind.
If he could protect the Chen Family, Chen Chitian's bloodline would still be alive.
However, if he pushed the matter to another place, it would be hard for him to escape death as well. However, his bloodline would also be finished, and perhaps the Chen Family would be finished as well.
This was the reason why, even though Chen Hongfeng hadn't discussed anything with him, Chen Chitian had taken the initiative to bear all the blame.
"Chen Chitian, I'm afraid this matter... You won't be able to handle it alone!" Someone next to him said coldly.
"That's right. Chen Chitian, do you understand what you are saying? Whether it's the Rakasha Hall, these bandits, or the lives of dozens of people from the Xiahou Family, Chen Chitian, do you really think you can handle them all by yourself?"
"Your Majesty, please punish the Chen Family severely!"
Looking at the chaotic scene in the hall, many people were criticizing Chen Chitian.
Chen Chitian just stared at them coldly without giving them any unnecessary explanation.
At this moment, Cloudsea Spirit Lord took a step forward and coughed lightly. After everyone had calmed down, he slowly said, "Can I say something?"
"Cloudsea Spirit Lord, just say it." Gudu Changfeng said.
"Chen Family will not be able to escape from the responsibility of these matters, even if it is Patriarch Chen Hongfeng. He really didn't know anything about it, but it was all because of the Chen Family." Cloudsea Spirit Lord said slowly.
"Chen Chitian has already admitted all of these crimes. However, the loss of those nobles must be compensated by someone. Why not let Chen Family take out half of their family's wealth? To compensate those families, at the same time, they had to bear the heavy responsibility of rebuilding the Xiahou Family. This request... Patriarch Chen, isn't this too much? " As he said this, He stared at Chen Hongfeng calmly.
"This..."
Chen Hongfeng's expression kept changing. He understood that what Cloudsea Spirit Lord said was the same as what Gudu Changfeng said.
As the king of Great Xia Country, Gudu Changfeng couldn't make such a request. It was probably something that Cloudsea Spirit Lord had already discussed with him.
Even if he wanted to refuse, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to do so.
However, half of the Chen Family's fortune!
This was equivalent to destroying half of the Chen Family's strength.
The rest of the people were silent as well. They no longer made any noise. Instead, they quietly stared at Chen Hongfeng, waiting for his reply.
Cloudsea Spirit Lord's request was just right. If he asked for more, Chen Family would definitely not hesitate to fight to the death.
However, half of their family's fortune was at the critical point where they wanted to fight to the death, but they didn't have the courage to fight to the death.
If they lost half of their family fortune, their Chen Family would still be the top aristocrat in Great Xia. However, they would definitely not be able to monopolize everything like before.
Shen Yih had been standing there calmly, not even giving Chen Hongfeng a glance. It seemed like today's incident was all because of him, and it had nothing to do with him at all.
At this moment, Chen Hongfeng's body was trembling slightly.
Such a request would really force the Chen Family into eternal damnation.
If he agreed to it, he was afraid that he would become a sinner of the Chen Family.
And in the future, the Chen Family could only wait for death.
Chen Hongfeng knew very well why the royal family hadn't completely overturned the Chen Family today. It was because they were worried that the Chen Family would seek revenge at all costs.
What the royal family was doing now was only a delaying tactic. Once the Chen Family lost half of their family's fortune, they would lose the ability to challenge the royal family. It was only a matter of time before they fell into decline.
He really wanted to reject Cloudsea Spirit Lord's proposal and bring his Chen Family disciples into the Imperial Capital to change the day.
However, he didn't dare!
He understood that with the current strength of the Chen Family, if they really chose to risk everything, they would definitely be the ones to lose.
The royal family might suffer a serious injury, but the Chen Family would die for sure.
Before coming to the royal family, he had already made thorough preparations. Even if Chen Chitian had fallen, as long as he could make the royal family suffer a loss, it would prove that the Chen Family was still powerful.
At that time, those fence-sitters would definitely fall to the Chen Family. Even if the royal family wanted to deal with them, the Chen Family might still have the strength to fight them.
But now, after experiencing the matter of the bandits, the Chen Family had lost its momentum.
At this time, if they were to disregard everything, even those nobles who were tied tightly to them in the past would only choose to stand idly by and watch. Not to mention those fence-sitters.
Those fence-sitters might even take the initiative to use most of their strength to deal with the Chen Family in order to protect themselves.
When Xiahou Guang brought Chen Yitian here, he understood that the Chen Family had already lost all their chances.
Chen Hongfeng had calculated everything. He had led the Chen Family from a top noble family to this position where they could fight the royal family head on. He had never thought that all his efforts would be wasted on Chen Yi.
Up until now, he still had no idea why Chen Yitian had betrayed the Chen Family.
If he knew that it was because of Chen Yinghu of the Chen Family who robbed his wife, his wife would have died. The Chen Family had protected Chen Yinghu, which had caused Chen Yitian to hold a huge grudge in his heart. He estimated that he would collapse.
However, if he really agreed to this matter...
He was truly unwilling to accept it!
It was not easy for the Chen Family to reach this stage. It was easy for them to lower their heads, even if it was only to maintain the current situation. However, they were afraid that if he lowered his head this time, he would never have the chance to raise his head again. Moreover, if he lowered his head this time, his head might be sent to the guillotine.
Hu!
Just as Chen Hongfeng was struggling, a wave of chaotic voices sounded outside the palace.
Hmm?
Chen Hongfeng was startled, and he subconsciously looked over.
Gudu Changfeng frowned slightly and scolded, "Why is it so chaotic outside?"
"Report!"
A guard rushed over anxiously.
He knelt on the ground and said quickly, "Your Highness, dozens of elders suddenly came from outside. They claimed to be the physicians of Qing Medical Ranking. They received the news that someone in Great Xia wanted to harm the physician of Qing Medical Ranking, Young Master Shen Yih. Thus, they came here personally to seek justice for Young Master Shen Yih."
* Hong! *
As soon as the guard's voice faded, the entire hall exploded. Many people stared at the guard with their mouths agape.
"You, you said that there are dozens of people outside. They are all physicians from the Qing Medical Ranking?"
"Are you kidding me?"
Among the dozens of people, there are some Experts that they brought. There are only around twenty physicians. " The guard hastily said.
Around twenty?
Only around twenty?
These people looked at each other in dismay. This guard probably didn't understand how powerful the physician of Qing Medical Ranking was.
In the entire Great Xia Country, there was only one physician from the Qing Medical Ranking!
That physician, even Gudu Changfeng, had to be polite when meeting him. He didn't dare to hesitate when facing any request from the other party.
Now, the twenty physicians from the Qing Medical Ranking had come together. Even if it was a top power like Feng Xiao Country, they wouldn't dare to ignore them, right?
"Quickly, invite them in!" Gudu Changfeng said hastily.
"Yes."
The guard quickly left.
Soon, the door of the hall opened, and the dozens of people entered one after another.
When Chen Hongfeng saw these people, he was in complete despair.
These people were all here for Shen Yih!
He understood that regardless of whether he was willing or not, the Chen Family could only agree to Cloudsea Spirit Lord's request.
With the presence of these twenty or so physicians from the Qing Medical Ranking, even at the peak of the Chen Family, they wouldn't have the courage to disobey Cloudsea Spirit Lord's request, let alone now.
Shen Yih, who exactly is he?!
What kind of young man has my Chen Family offended?
Currently, Chen Hongfeng's heart was filled with regret. If he knew that Shen Yih could reach his current level, they would have killed him the moment he appeared in Great Xia Country.
Something was not right!
Back then, when they forced Shen Kedi to die, they should have killed all of them without leaving any trace of trouble behind.
However, it was too late to say anything now.
At this moment, Shen Yih also looked towards the door.
He saw more than twenty old men with white hair and beard walk in with angry faces under Bi Kezhen's lead.
When they saw that Shen Yih was fine and just stood there, they secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
Gudu Changfeng hurriedly walked down from the dragon throne. Those who came were all highly respected people in the Six Nations. Even he had to treat them with the highest respect.
These people in the hall also stared at this group of people in disbelief.
"They are just a group of doctors. There is no need for His Majesty to be so polite. They even personally came down from the dragon throne, right?" A young man who came with his father said with disdain.
"Be careful of your words!"
The old man next to him changed his expression slightly and hurriedly berated, "You don't understand how powerful these people are, so you're just spouting nonsense. Be careful, if you anger them, even I won't be able to protect you."
"Are they really that powerful?" The man was stunned for a moment and asked.
"There are two kinds of people that cannot be offended in our Six Nations. One is an alchemist, and the other is a physician. " An alchemist determines your cultivation level. A good alchemist could use the pills he concocted. Raise your cultivation level quickly! As for a physician, he controls your life. " The old man said.
"I understand." The young man's expression suddenly changed as he hurriedly said.
These twenty or so physicians weren't very strong. They didn't even need the royal family to kill them all. An ordinary noble would be able to kill them all.
However, the forces behind them were truly huge. This was because there were countless top tier Experts standing behind them. They had saved their lives!
"These people came from afar for Shen Yih. I'm afraid the Chen Family is really finished." Someone said with a sigh.
They subconsciously looked at Chen Hongfeng.
Now, Chen Hongfeng was sitting on the ground with a pale face. It seemed like he had understood that their Chen Family was finished today.
