Chapter 15 I heard that you will ask me about my sins?
Hu Yanzhi, the lord of Jinling City, a hereditary viscount, on the surface, is a fiefdom nobleman who eats, drinks and has no ambitions.
However, it is not difficult for anyone with a heart to find that this Hu City Lord's heart is big!
Secretly recruited a lot of capable people, and also had a lot of contacts with some Jianghu sects, and the number of troops in the fiefdom far exceeded the maximum limit of five thousand in the prefecture.
Governor Chen Yonglian has been in charge of Jinling City for nearly five years, and on the surface, he seems to be in charge of the security and affairs of the entire Jinling City, but in fact, many of the powerful officers under him, eight out of ten were installed by the lord of Hu City.
Unlike other places, where the city lord and the prefect fought for power, Jinling City has always been peaceful, and the city lord and the prefect even taste paintings and poems every month, which looks very harmonious.
However......
This is the cleverness of the city lord of Hu, he has always let the prefect of Chen, as if I only eat, drink and have fun, and everything in Jinling City depends on the prefect Chen.
But in fact, secretly, seventy percent of the families in Jinling City all fell to the Lord of Hu.
Only a few great families like the Tang family can remain neutral and not get involved in the struggle between the two sides.
And today......
Lord Hu Cheng brought thousands of people to the Tang Mansion in a grand manner, and his intention could not be more obvious, to use the topic to play and force the Tang family to stand in line.
However, before and after the arrival of the Tang Mansion, the city lord Hu sat in the sedan chair on the side and did not say a word.
However, the people who came here rubbed their waists one by one and began to denounce the Tang Mansion with their throats pulled.
"The eldest master of the Tang Mansion came out for me, and we have to ask for an explanation. ”
"Why did your eldest son die unjustly, but he ran into the brains of our mothers to be a demon, and ...... We're about to break our waists?"
"The doctor said that I was overworked last night, my lumbar spine was damaged, and my sperm and blood were missing, so I had to recuperate at home for at least half a month. I'm the youngest in my family, who's going to feed them?"
"Give us justice!" My lady is still crazy, smirking and shouting the name of the eldest son of the Tang family......"
......
Burst!
It turned out that these people who came to crusade against the Tang Mansion turned out to be their overworked husbands last night.
The head of the family, Tang Xun, the three elders and others hurriedly came out, but they were really startled by the scene in front of them.
What's going on?
Tang Xun's heart was extremely shocked, could it be that the abnormality in last night was not only on Shangguan Lanfeng, but ...... The women of the entire Jinling City are so "crazy"?
"Master Tang, you can be regarded as coming out. My lady was disturbed by the ghost of your eldest son last night, and she muttered something unsightly like "Tang eldest son, please be a slave family", and then suddenly became crazy with me......"
A man knelt in front of Tang Xun, and then tore his shirt violently, and there were bite marks all over his body, "Look, everyone! This is all my lady's bite...... It also caused me to not sleep all night, and I didn't rest until dawn. ”
"My lady is the same, this matter is caused by the haunting of the Tang family's eldest son, we respectfully ask the city lord to make the decision for the people, and ask the Tang Mansion to give us a fair ......"
......
One after another, the common people cried about the painful experience of last night and knelt down towards the sedan chair of the city lord.
On the Tang Mansion's side, everyone had gloomy faces.
No one would have imagined that Tang Can's deception of the corpse would really make such a big fuss.
Not only were Tang Xing and Shangguan Lanfeng and his wife killed in the mansion, but even the couples in the entire Jinling City?
"Tang Xun, look at the good son you gave birth to! After death, you are still doing this demon, and now you ...... What now?"
The Great Elder took the opportunity to attack, pointed at Tang Xun with a trembling finger, and forced him.
"The three elders of Qiqi, as the old saying goes, the son is not the fault of the father. Tang Can's fault should be replaced by his biological father Tang Xun. The fourth old man, Tang Zhou, immediately said righteously.
"Three elders, my father has a point. All these matters are caused by Tang Can's deception of corpses and hauntings, and my Tang Mansion has an unshirkable responsibility. As the head of the Tang family and Tang Can's biological father, the uncle should be fully responsible. ”
Tang Jin was young, but he was sharp, and he even held his uncle Tang Xun accountable in public as a junior.
Suddenly, Tang Xun was angry, and he looked up to the sky and laughed: "Hahaha...... Ridiculous! Ridiculous! My son Tang Can has been dead tragically for many days, and you can still blame him for these crimes like this? Talking to a dead man about the crime, wise city lord, do you think so too?"
Obviously, Tang Xun is also very clear about the crux of the problem.
These ordinary people were brought by the city lord Hu, how to solve it and what kind of price to pay, in the end, it depends on the meaning of the city lord.
"Brother Tang, don't be impatient. ”
At this time, City Lord Hu got down from the sedan chair unhurriedly, and then pointed at these ordinary people kneeling on the ground with a slight smile, and began to talk eloquently.
"For the past two days, the haunting of the city has been evident to all. Your eldest prince of the Tang Mansion did not turn a blind eye, but he came to harm the people in my Jinling City, this is indeed a thing. As the lord of this city, I naturally have the obligation and responsibility to ensure the safety of the city. ”
City Lord Hu's gaze suddenly became sharp from the kindness just now, and he said directly and clearly, "So, I came to the Tang Mansion today." In order to prevent the noble prince from continuing to disturb the peace of the people in the city, he dug up his grave and exhumed his corpse, hung the city gate to expose to the public, and then set up a ten-meter-high platform to burn it with fierce fire...... Put an end to future troubles!"
"Dig up the graves and dig up the corpses! Give us justice......"
"This big fool is still so restless when he dies. His body must be burned, so that he will never be able to live beyond his life. ”
"The lord of the city is the master of us!, please the lord of the Tang family to destroy his relatives ...... righteousness"
......
A group of ordinary people followed suit, but Tang Xun was stunned.
"Lord Hu, my son was born miserable, and he died sadly. Do you still want to kill them all like this?"
Clenched his fists, Tang Xun really felt that he was extremely guilty.
As the head of the Tang family, he can't even protect his son, can't protect him before he is alive, and can't even take care of his corpse after death?
"Not only that, you...... The position of the head of the Tang family must be handed over. Let the fourth son, Tang Jin. Come to think of it, the three elders of the Tang family won't object, right?"
City Lord Hu said it lightly, but he directly used his identity to suppress the three elders of the Tang family.
Because, these three elders were more inclined to be close to Governor Chen's side before, otherwise they would not have proposed to let Tang Can marry the daughter of Governor Chen.
However, in order to win over the Tang family, the city lord Hu established an alliance with Tang Zhou and Tang Jin's father and son, and the city lord Hu helped them sit on the position of the head of the Tang family, in exchange for the support of the two after they took control of the Tang family.
"Hahaha...... Okay, okay, isn't this the position of the head of the Tang family? Are you really so rare? Okay, good, good! You are rare, I'm not rare!"
Under this embattled, Tang Xun was sad, he looked in the direction of Tang Can's grave in the northwest, and knelt down bitterly: "Can'er! It's useless for your father, it's unworthy of being your father for your father, and I'm sorry for your mother for your father......"
However, it was at this time......
But there was a sound in the crowd, and anyone who heard it would tremble.
"I heard...... Are so many of you here to ask me about my sins?"
......
