Chapter 34: Misfortune is not a one-way street

Blessings are incomparable, and disasters are not singular.

When a person is involved in a calamity, it will cause a lot of trouble. The trees fell and scattered, and the walls fell and everyone pushed them. Whenever it is, there are always many more people watching the excitement than reaching out.

The disaster relief official silver was robbed in the territory of Tangmen, and Tangmen was naturally the most suspicious. This case not only moved the court, but also caused a lot of waves in the rivers and lakes. Among the various factions in Sichuan, some people were frightened, for fear of being suspected and tracked down by the court; Some people are resentful, but they are worried about the victims of Huguang; Some people regret that they didn't strike first, and others took the lead. In short, one stone strikes a thousand waves, and the rivers and lakes have been difficult to be peaceful since then.

The Tang Sect will also cause a lot of trouble because of this, and in their eyes, the fifth line is the first "trouble" to come.

However, the fifth line is only the beginning of the troubles of the Tang Gate, and the real big trouble is still to come.

Tang Mugong has received a report that Fan Yun, the deacon and eunuch of Dongchang, came to investigate the robbery of the official bank on the order of the emperor, and now he has arrived in Shunqing Mansion. The first thing Fan Yun did was to put Fan Chou, who had encountered the robbery that day, into prison. Tangmen and Dongchang were originally not on good terms, but after learning the news, the people in Tangmen were even more frightened, and Tang Mugong was also worried.

The Tang Gate has always been regarded as a thorn in the side of the East Factory and the Temple. If they want to dominate the rivers and lakes, they must first bring down the big tree of Tangmen, but now is their best opportunity.

The people of the temple understood this truth, because this bureau was originally set up by him; Dongchang Shi Zhong also understood this truth, and he specially instructed Fan Yun to take the opportunity to deal with the Tang Sect; Tang Mugong would not fail to understand this truth, he now felt that his abdomen and back were under attack. Outside, there is the East Factory and the Temple, and there is a fifth line that seems to be an enemy but not a friend.

But Tang Mugong didn't expect that their troubles were far more than that.

Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive.

Say trouble, trouble too.

When Tang Mugong learned that Fan Yun had arrived, he informed the three elders and the five sons to discuss the matter. In order to show his innocence, Tang Mugong did not hide the meaning of the fifth line, so the fifth line and Wu Zhizhi were also present. Unexpectedly, another trouble came again.

"Door master, Qingcheng sent Murong Tian and Emei sent lawyer Mei to ask to see me." A disciple came in and preached.

Tang Mugong thought to himself: What are they doing here, shouldn't it be for the official silver case! But he said, "Please." ”

After a while, an old man and a pale-faced nun came in. The old man was about sixty years old, dressed in a gray cloth coarse coat and carrying an ancient sword with pine patterns. Tang Siji and the fifth line saw at a glance that the man behind him who was carrying the Qinggang sword was the Murong Jie he met that day. The nuns are not young, about 50 years old. Her face was pale, apparently because she had been a vegetarian for a long time and lacked blood. Both of them brought a few disciples and followed behind them one by one.

Tang Mugong and the three elders stepped forward to greet each other: "Brother Murong, Lawyer Mei, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

The greetings were over, and everyone sat down. Murong Tian and Mei Lu are the same generation as Tang Mugong and others, they are already the elders of the Five Heroes of the Tang Sect, and they are also guests from afar, so they sit on the top of the Five Heroes respectively. The fifth line and Wu Zhizhi were the lowest, so they sat at the bottom.

Tang Mugong asked Murong Tian and said, "Brother Murong, we haven't seen each other for many years, what kind of wind is blowing my brother to me today?" ”

Murong Tian said: "Master Tang, you and I are a lot older, if there is no big incident, I don't want to show my head again." It's not a secret, but I came here for the robbery of the official bank of Shunqing Mansion. ”

Tang Siji thought that he was coming to stand up for his son, but when he saw that he didn't mention it, but directly talked about the official bank, he felt bad in his heart.

Tang Mugong and the three elders also chuckled in their hearts, only to feel that this matter seemed to be far more troublesome than they imagined, and more and more people were involved.

Although Tang Mugong had already expected it, he was still pretending to be confused: "The official silver was robbed in the area of Qingju Mountain, and Brother Murong didn't go there, but what did he mean when he came to my Tang Sect?" ”

Murong Tian said: "Qingju Mountain, Lawyer Mei and I have already been there, and we have found this, so I came to Tangmen to explain to the main door." As he spoke, he took out an incense head from his arms, which was the same as the incense head that Tang Mugong took out that day, it was the incense head of the Netherworld Soul Destroying Incense.

Murong Tian handed the incense head to Tang Mugong, and continued: "The robbed official silver this time is originally used for disaster relief, if it can't be recovered in time, Huguang is afraid that thousands of victims will starve to death." Everyone walks the rivers and lakes to make a fortune, but we are famous and decent, if we make this kind of ill-gotten gains, the Qingcheng faction will be the first to disagree. ”

Tang Sitian was short-tempered, and when he heard that he was angry, he immediately got up and shouted: "What do you mean, is the disaster relief official silver our Tang Sect robbed?" What evidence do you have? ”

Murong Tian was still unhurried: "Tang Erxia, don't worry, if there is evidence in the future, it will be handed over directly to the government, and what are you doing in Tangmen?" As we all know, the area around Qingju Mountain is the sphere of influence of your Tang Sect, and if outsiders want to move, they will not escape your eyes and ears. And now in the place where the crime occurred, there is another incense head of the Netherworld Incense, you should always give an explanation! ”

Tang Sitian still had to argue, but Tang Mugong said: "The second child must not be rude, and he will not give me a retreat." Then he said to Murong Tian: "In this disaster relief, my Tang Sect also donated 100,000 taels of silver, how could I start the idea of official silver." As for the Netherworld Soul Snatching Incense, although it is from our Tang Sect, there are also people in the rivers and lakes who know how to prepare it. The thief chose to attack on the territory of my Tang Sect, and deliberately used the Netherworld Incense, the purpose of which is obvious, that is, to frame our Tang Sect and put my Tang Sect in an unkind and unrighteous place. I promise that this matter will be investigated to the bottom of the matter, so as to show my innocence and give everyone justice. ”

Murong Tian's son Murong Jie was very disdainful, and snorted coldly: "Hehe! The trick of 'wanting to catch the old and indulge, the thief shouting to catch the thief' has been seen a lot, but it is not so new. ”

When Tang Sitian heard this, he was furious, got up and scolded: "You don't fucking fart in the back, you have the ability to come out and speak." ”

Murong Jie was still angry with the Tang Sect because of what happened last time, but this time with his father's support, he no longer gave in, took the green steel sword and walked to the middle and said: "Come out, come out, is it possible that I am still afraid of you!" ”

Tang Sitian was about to step forward to fight, but was stopped by Tang Mugong. Murong Jie failed to provoke and was also drunk back by his father.

At this time, Tang Muxiang opened his mouth and said: "The reputation of the Tang Sect is known to everyone here. Over the years, Tang Men has never done anything that violates the morality of the rivers and lakes. So this time, please believe in our Tang Sect, we will find out the truth and give a satisfactory answer to the rivers and lakes and the court. ”
