Chapter 18: City Lord Hu, Are You Sure You Want to Be So Ruthless?
Decades of wealthy feuds.
Tang Can pretended to be stupid, and Tang Xun was dormant.
Tang Xing, Tang Theory and Tang Zhou Chao struggled for power.
The three elders of the Tang Sect pointed out the country and reaped the benefits of the fisherman.
......
was explained by Tang Can with "pretending to be stupid and laying out a big game of chess", as if everything was really like this.
The three elders believed it, and Tang Lun, Tang Zhou, and other Tang family disciples also believed it.
Even the head of the family, Tang Xun himself, almost wanted to believe it.
So many ordinary people present, although they didn't know much about the inside story of the Tang family, they all looked at Tang Xun, the eldest master of the Tang family, with a "look very powerful" look.
"Tang Xun, I didn't expect you to have such scheming. I'm afraid you already knew that Tang Can was not dead, and you could still play the sadness so realistically......"
The Great Elder squinted his eyes at Tang Xun and said meaningfully, "It seems that the situation that has caused such a situation is also under your control?"
"Great Elder, I ......"
Tang Xun has 10,000 hardships in his heart that he can't say!
Obviously, he also has no way to adapt to the embarrassment faced by the Tang family in front of him, why is it as if everything is arranged by himself now?
"Of course. Everything is in my father's hands, since the three elders have all been retired for so many years. Why bother so much about these trivial things in the clan? Isn't it good to eat, drink, and enjoy a life that has only a few years left?"
It's a pity that Tang Xun, the cheap father, didn't have time to explain to the three elders a little tactfully, and Tang Can had already replied arrogantly.
"Can'er, don't ...... for your father"
As soon as he heard this, Tang Xun was ready to die.
was misunderstood by the three elders before, and he could slowly explain and ease the relationship later, but now that Tang Can is talking to the three elders like this, it is completely to tear his face and completely let the three elders stand aside.
"Father, the child knows, you don't ...... You want to talk to these people, right? Because they don't deserve to listen to you. So, just stand aside and let the child speak for you. ”
Tang Can once again interrupted his father Tang Xun's words, and then pointed to the Tang Mansion people present, and said with a righteous and awe-inspiring expression, "My Tang family has a cloud, sincere unity, unity to the outside world, we must adhere to and carry it forward, and firmly unite in the spirit of hard work centered on the head of the family." But look at you, in order to fight for that little power, you even collude with outsiders and betray the interests of your family, is it shameful?
"You are talking nonsense! Tang Can, where are these words in the clan motto of our Tang family?"
The Great Elder was really angry by Tang Can's words.
"Not before, not now. Do you think what I said is unreasonable? As a child of the Tang Sect, shouldn't you respect the head of the family, shouldn't you put the interests of the family first?"
Glancing at the Great Elder, Tang Can asked directly, "Dare to ask the Great Elder, if someone in the clan secretly cheats and spoils my Tang family's 100,000 jars of Huangliang wine for his own selfishness, how should this person deal with it?"
As soon as these words came out, some of the people present knew that this was what the second lady Shangguan Lanfeng did to the 100,000 jars of yellow sorghum wine.
The Great Elder's face was solemn, his eyes rolled, and he pretended not to know and said, "Tang Can, we have already found out this matter, and it was Tang Baqiao, who was under your father, who did it. The elders also stated that Tang Baqiao must be severely punished. ”
"Was it really Tang Baqiao who did it? Then let me ask again, if someone knows that these 100,000 jars of yellow sorghum wine will be destroyed in one fell swoop, but because of their own selfish interests, they just stand by and put my Tang family under the dangerous wall, Great Elder, what do you think of this person...... Even if this person is in a high position in the Tang family, under the conclusive evidence I have, how should I deal with it according to the family rules?"
Tang Can said another sentence back, and the Great Elder was suddenly shocked in his heart, and he was instantly speechless.
Because, obviously, the spearhead of Tang Can's words was directly aimed at him.
That's right......
When combing through his memory, Tang Can clearly found several very valuable pictures from the mind of "Fool Tang Can".
One of the scenes is that more than a year ago, when Tang Can was sleeping on the grass, he heard Shangguan Lanfeng behind the rockery arranging a poisonous plan for his subordinates to destroy Huangliang wine.
And it just so happened that one of the Great Elder's cronies was also watching nearby, hearing these secrets, and Tang Can watched him rush back to the Great Elder to report as soon as possible.
Therefrom......
Tang Can speculated a little, and then completely understood the trickiness.
Shangguan Lanfeng thought that the arrangement was seamless, and no one would find out, but she didn't know that her every move had long been under the surveillance of the Great Elder.
And the Great Elder is even more of a chicken thief, he monitors the actions of everyone in the Tang family, but he does not trigger it, and only makes some arrangements and provocations at the appropriate time.
He knew about Shangguan Lanfeng's poisonous plan to destroy Huangliang wine a year ago, but he kept pretending not to know anything, and even pretended to be shocked and angry after the incident to blame the head of the family, Tang Xun.
Right now......
Being provoked by Tang Can like this, the Great Elder was also shocked in his heart.
He turned his head to look at Tang Xun again, frowned and asked, "Tang Xun, it turns out that you know everything." ”
Tang Xun: "......"
With a question mark face, very innocent, what do I know again?
Tang Can answered: "Yes, Great Elder, it seems that you are really old, please open your ears." As I said earlier, everything is under my father's control. Of course, he already knew these things. ”
"Good, good, ruthless enough, bearable enough. Tang Xun, Tang Can, you father and son, are really amazing. I have nothing to say, just like Tang Can said...... In the future, I will retreat to the Tranquility and concentrate on the elderly. ”
Pointing at Tang Can and Tang Xun, after the Great Elder said these words angrily and tremblingly, the whole person seemed to be ten years old, and his face was no longer bright.
Obviously, when he said this, it meant that he was forced by Tang Can to completely withdraw from the power struggle of the Tang family.
"Great Elder!"
Tang Xun was shocked.
He didn't expect that the Great Elder, who had always restrained him the most seriously in the family, was actually forced to completely retire by his son's three or two words?
This...... What the hell is going on here?
How did he ...... Didn't understand it at all?
......
"Great Elder, you can't retreat!"
"We still need you to lead our Tang family through the crisis!"
Tang Zhou and Tang Jin also panicked when they saw this.
Because they want to obtain the position of the head of the family, the support of the Great Elder is indispensable, and the fact that the Great Elder has a personal relationship with Governor Chen is also a great help to their father and son.
"That's it! I really ...... about your generation. There's really no way to get involved......"
The Great Elder turned around gloomily, ignoring the "endgame" here, and walked towards the mansion with great difficulty with staggering steps.
He had to leave, because he knew that since Tang Can said so, he would still give him a way to live.
Otherwise, the evidence will be taken out directly, and according to the family rules, the Great Elder will be deprived of everything and imprisoned, or beaten to death with a stick.
Betraying and harming the interests of the family is the most intolerable in the family rules.
Seeing this, the other two elders also had uncertain faces on their faces, they never expected that Tang Xun and Tang Can, father and son, would be so powerful...... In just a few words, let the Great Elder lose completely?
"Tang Xun, don't think that forcing the Great Elder to retreat, the Tang family is your world. ”
Tang Zhou's cold gaze looked over, and when he swept towards Tang Can, he sneered and said, "Tang Can, do you think that your appearance today can completely relieve the embarrassment and crisis of the Tang family? ”
And at this moment, Tang Jin directly knelt down on one knee towards the city lord Hu Yanzhi, and asked: "Lord of the city, I, Tang Can, the eldest son of the Tang Mansion, died of poison before the twelfth and was buried five days ago.
But the day before yesterday, I went to the cemetery to check, but found that Tang Can's corpse was fraudulent, and in the past two days and nights, he turned into an evil ghost to disturb the people's livelihood and safety in my Jinling City, and today is even more bold, this evil ghost appeared in front of my Tang Mansion under the blue sky and white sun, and I implore the city lord to give an order to arrest this evil ghost and burn it in public to appease the hearts of the people!"
Burst!
Seeing Tang Jin's style, Tang Can really couldn't help laughing and said, "Tang Jin, are you stupid? Just now I have proved that I am a living person, not a ghost. You're still using this to ask the city lord to deal with me?"
But who knows, Tang Jin turned a deaf ear to Tang Can's words, but continued to say to City Lord Hu: "In the past two days, the people in Jinling City have been panicking, and I implore the City Lord to return a stable place in Jinling City. ”
Including these ordinary people present, they all felt that Tang Jin was stupid and strong, how could he insist that he was an evil ghost in front of a living person?
However......
The city lord of Hu, who was stiff on the side and didn't speak, bowed his head slightly, and agreed:
"Take down the demons and burn them in public. ”
Whoa!
Suddenly, the guards behind Lord Hu immediately stepped forward and surrounded Tang Can.
The people around were shocked.
it, this Nima is...... Do you refer to a deer as a horse?
Is that unreasonable?
Do you really want to take down the living eldest prince of the Tang Mansion and burn it with fire?
"City Lord Hu, what do you mean by this? My son is standing here alive, how can it be an evil ghost?"
The head of the family, Tang Xun, immediately exploded, and blocked in front of his son Tang Can very strongly, and the family members of the Tang Mansion immediately surrounded him.
"The head of the Tang family said this absurdly, but the people of the entire Jinling City watched the funeral of the eldest prince of Tang and went to the ground for peace. He is obviously a dead man, and now standing here, what else can he be besides a demon who cheats corpses?"
City Lord Hu Yanzhi smiled slightly, and said conclusively, "Besides, I have heard that some ghostly spirits will turn into human beings with the help of corpses that have just died. This is a demon! If you want to harm the world, as the lord of Jinling City, I should eliminate harm for the people...... Please also ask the head of the Tang family to understand one or two. What are you still doing there, and you still don't take down this evil demon and monster......"
Whew......
The guards of the City Lord's Mansion rushed up, and the guards of the Tang family also instantly pulled out the saber on their waists.
The surrounding people hurriedly brushed back dozens of steps, and the conflict between the city lord and the Tang Mansion was about to start, for fear of being injured by mistake.
However, at this moment......
Tang Can stretched out his hand to block it: "Wait!"
His eyes narrowed slightly, looked at City Lord Hu, and asked very seriously, "City Lord Hu, are you sure you want to be so ruthless?"
......
