Chapter 180 - Call the Police

Nangong Yuxiu crossed his legs and supported his well-defined chin with one hand as he looked at the two elders indifferently.

“Since we’re all here, let’s settle the old and new scores together.”

He sat up straight and tapped his fingertips on the table.

“During his tenure, the First Elder didn’t differentiate between the company and the treasure house. He embezzled 73 top-grade rare medicinal herbs, 205 high-grade medicinal herbs, and several medium-grade medicinal herbs. Moreover, he embezzled 300 million yuan from the family’s funds and allowed his people to bully his own clansmen and snatch other people’s hard-earned medicinal herbs and pills, causing many collateral disciples to complain.

The Nangong Family’s pharmacy is open to the public. First Elder, you might want to explain why all the prescriptions have fallen into your hands and are only for those close to you…”

Every time Nangong Yuxiu said something, First Elder and Third Elder would shrink their necks.

The other members of the Nangong Family were already glaring at them.

“Third Elder.”

Nangong Yuxiu looked at him. “Do you recognize this?”

His slender fingers pushed a jade box in front of the Third Elder, waved his hand, and a guard immediately stepped forward to open it.

There was a red worm lying inside.

Third Elder’s pupils constricted, and his body trembled slightly.

“What… what is this? I don’t know what it is.”

Nangong Yuxiu closed the box.

“Southern border’s Silk Entanglement Gu, as long as this Gu is cast on a person, it will wantonly grow and destroy a person’s blood energy. Because the mature Silk Entanglement Gu is very similar to a person’s blood vessels, and it is attached to the blood vessels, it is very difficult for anyone to find it on the deceased.

Silk Entanglement Gu is a poisonous worm that grows slowly. At first, it will not be noticed, but as it grows, the host’s body will gradually weaken. At first, they will appear to be in an anemic state, and the medicinal pills are useless against the sickness. Later on, they will start coughing up blood…”

Everyone was very familiar with every symptom he mentioned. Wasn’t this how the old patriarch experienced when he fell sick?

At this moment, everyone had already guessed something. They stared at the Third Elder and the Silk Entanglement Gu.

Second Elder had a fiery temper, so he couldn’t help but punch the Third Elder.

“Third brother! You colluded with the Southern border witch!”

The Third Elder refused to admit it, but Nangong Yuxiu had a way to make him admit it.

“Third Elder, the medicine man in your secret room was used for raising Gu for that witch, right?”

The Third Elder looked up at the man who was sitting leisurely on the chair.

“How did you know?!”

It was too late for regrets.

“Third brother, you actually did such a vicious thing! You actually raised Gu for a witch!”

Everyone was indignant. They were eager to know if Nangong Yuxiu was telling the truth.

Then, he brought the rest to the Third Elder’s residence.

In the end, they really found the basement.

The Third Elder struggled with all his might, but he was tightly controlled.

“Patriarch, that witch got the news in advance and ran away.”

Nangong Yuxiu nodded. “He ran away.”

What a pity.

He did not let Lu Xiaocha and the other young ones enter the basement. It was obvious what a tragic situation it was inside.

Only a few elders and elders went to the basement together. Then, they covered their mouths and ran out.

Once they were outside, they started vomiting.

“First Elder, Third Elder, the Nangong Family can’t let such vicious people like you stay!”

The First Elder’s expression was ferocious.

“The head of the Nangong Family should be mine. Nangong Yuxiu is nothing! He was the one who stole my position as the Patriarch!”

The Third Elder also looked at Nangong Yuxiu with hatred in his eyes. “I really underestimated you. I didn’t expect you to find out everything about us!”

Fourth Elder snorted. “If the Nangong Family really fell into the hands of people like you, it would really be over. Fortunately, Yuxiu came back, otherwise, the Nangong Family might have turned from a revered alchemist family into an evil cultivator family that everyone despised. Even our ancestors won’t let you off!”

The two elders hurriedly asked Nangong Yunxiu to deal with them.

Nangong Yuxiu said, “Call the police.”

Everyone in the Nangong Family was shocked.

“What???”

Shouldn’t they handle this themselves? Why did it involve calling the police?

Looking at their dumbfounded expressions, Nangong Yuxiu chuckled softly. This smile was like the first snow melting and reviving everything. It was so beautiful that it stunned people.

“First Elder embezzled 300 million yuan of public property, excluding those medicinal herbs. The Third Elder is a little more serious. He’s a murderer. This is a lawful society. Why not call the police?”

Everyone in the Nangong Family was speechless.

It made sense. They couldn’t refute it!

However, they had always dealt with the family’s internal problems themselves. They had never thought that there would be an option to call the police now.

Nangong Yunhuan hesitated and asked, “Then… then I’ll call the police?”

Nangong Yunxiu nodded.

The First Elder and Third Elder were unhappy.

“We’re from the Nangong Family. Even if you want to punish us, you have to follow the family rules. How can those ordinary people outside punish us?”

As members of the Nangong Family, the First Elder and the Third Elder had always believed that their bloodline was nobler than that of ordinary people outside. They didn’t want those people they looked down on to punish them.

Nangong Yunhuan and the other youngsters couldn’t help it.

“First Elder, Third Elder, your thinking is too feudal. What era is it now? You still think you’re so high up in the air.”

“Although the medicine we make is a little magical, the technology and medicine outside are also advanced. We need to study the medicine they make.”

“You can’t be too constrained. Moreover, the two of you have done such a thing and are still so picky. Do you think you have the right to choose?”

In the past, as juniors, they might have respected these two elders, but after knowing what they had done, especially since the death of their old patriarch was related to them, they only felt disgusted by these two people.

In the end, the two of them were arrested and sent to the police station.

After everything was over, everyone went home. However, today was destined to be a sleepless night.

Nangong Yunxuan was woken up by the noise, and when she woke up, her whole world collapsed.

“What are you talking about?! My grandfather was fired as an elder and sent to the police station to be sentenced?”

Nangong Yunxuan couldn’t believe it. She hurriedly put on her clothes and asked the Patriarch what was going on.

However, she could not even enter the main courtyard.

“Young lady Yunxuan, the Patriarch is resting. You’d better not disturb him. By the way, the Patriarch asked us to tell you that your grandfather owes the Nangong Family too much because he embezzled public funds. Now, the herbal fields and properties under his name are going to be confiscated. Also, your grandfather is no longer an elder. Please pack your things and move out of the Nangong Family’s residence as soon as possible.”
