Taixia Country had national laws; each clan across the country had its own rules, which were definitely more authoritative than national laws. A person could be executed to death penalty according to national laws or clan rules. As the grand elder of a clan mastered the clan rules, Zhang Tie's words were absolutely more authoritative than an imperial decree in the old mansion or Huaiyuan Palace as a whole. Nobody dared violate his decisions...
Zhang Tie could call him 9th uncle out of respect. If Zhang Tie wanted him to die, only with a flash of eye light, many people in Huaiyuan Palace would swarm up to stomp him to death.
"No...I dare not!" Zhang Fan's heart pound due to fear. In only a couple of seconds, Zhang Fan's forehead had oozed sweat as he didn't even have the courage to refuse Zhang Tie's order.
