Chapter 944: City Lord Tang is helpless, the evil lady is left unattended
With a loud bang, Tang Wenhua smashed a table. "You evil girl, you brought outsiders to arrest officials from Kunwu City. Are you rebelling?"
He was so angry, of course he knew what Tang Yue had done.
The Lord of Zixiao Mansion also hurried over, "Lord, we can't stay in Kunwu City any longer."
"Brother Cao, don't say that. I will go and capture the evil girl and make amends to you."
Tang Wenhua pulled Cao Yanjun to walk out of the house, but they ran into Tang Yue in the front yard.
"Where are you going, father?" Tang Yue asked with a smile.
Of course, Tang Wenhua and Cao Yanjun saw the Lord of Taiping Prefecture and his men trapped behind her, and they were shocked.
"What are you doing? Why are you trapping the Lord of Taiping Mansion?" Tang Wenhua pointed at someone excitedly.
"I was just about to report to my father that this man was not devoted to the people, nor loyal to my father. He did not report illness or ask for leave, and closed the government office for no reason, causing many unjust cases in the city to be delayed, and the people had no place to seek justice."
"My daughter also heard that he was partial to others and was corrupt, protecting the powerful people in the city. The people repeatedly complained to him, but he always made excuses."
In fact, it has only been one day and there are not many cases in the city. Tang Yue is just exaggerating the seriousness so that the city lord will not feel justified when he makes trouble.
As for things like sheltering, they definitely happened, but the city lord felt that the powerful and wealthy should have these benefits, so they would work hard for him.
Tang Wenhua was so angry that his face turned red. He pointed at Tang Yue and said sternly, "How dare you! Do you think that just because you are the young city lord, you can abuse your power and arrest the palace lord at will?"
"Father." Tang Yue looked at Tang Wenhua calmly, but her tone was a little more stern.
"As the daughter of the city lord, I also have the responsibility to protect the people of Kunwu City. If my father favors mediocre officials and protects evil deeds, I am afraid that he will not be able to explain himself to our ancestors, right?"
He was speechless for a moment, and when he saw that there were other people, he angrily said, "It's fine if there's the Taiping Mansion's Lord, but you've also captured the Lords of other Mansions and Pavilions, are you still going to do anything?"
Tang Yue said righteously, "Father, I caught these people because they were not doing anything. But don't worry, I have arranged new people to replace them. Currently, the affairs of the city are continuing to operate."
Tang Wenhua and Cao Yanjun couldn't believe what she said. The city's affairs were complicated, and she arranged all these things in one day?
"Don't talk nonsense, you..."
Tang Yue interrupted him, "There are still a group of people who are imprisoned in the dungeon of the West Mansion. My daughter cannot bring them all here one by one."
She listed a series of city lord mansions, Zixiao mansion, and people from the city lord's faction.
After finishing speaking, he added, "These people just occupy positions, take the people's tax money and do nothing. They are extremely incompetent. I think we should just kill them all!"
She held a wooden talisman in her hand. "I'll crush this talisman and kill these traitors."
After saying this, he pretended to crush the talisman.
Tang Wenhua and Cao Yanjun were stunned for a moment before they realized that Tang Yue was taking these people and was asking for them.
"Nonsense, they are killing people without even trying them. If this gets out, will my Tang family still be able to keep the position of city lord?"
Tang Wenhua took a step forward and tried to snatch the wooden talisman from Tang Yue.
Although he could allow Tang Yue to offend the powerful forces in the city, watching those people with connections die would probably offend the people in the city.
"Father is right. We still need to try them and ask them who instructed them to do such a thing that disregards the livelihood of the people of Kunwu and the reputation of your government."
Tang Yue was not in a hurry, while the two people opposite had uncertain expressions. They were the ones who instigated the conspiracy. If they were found out after being interrogated, they would be thrown into jail?
They were almost a hundred years old, and it was a great shame and humiliation for them to be forced to this point by a waiter. Their eyes revealed viciousness.
I don’t know whether the Mahayana senior invited by Elder Liu succeeded.
When the time comes, I will definitely capture this little bitch, torture her and vent my anger.
Tang Wenhua asked him, "What should we do if the wealthy families and sects in the city come to ask for people?"
"The matter has not been fully investigated yet, so it is only right for them to stay in the mansion and cooperate with the investigation."
Tang Yue ordered her senior sister who came with her to bring the trapped Lord of Taiping Mansion back.
His originally excited and expectant face gradually dimmed. He felt incredible. Why wouldn't the city lord save him?
"I see that my father has important matters to discuss with Lord Cao, so I won't disturb you any further." Tang Yue bowed slightly.
Tang Wenhua shook his sleeves, snorted, and went back.
Lord Cao glared at her fiercely and followed Tang Wenhua away.
Tang Yue looked at the backs of the two old men and raised her eyebrows. They could tolerate this, so it seemed that their plan was very vicious.
She thought for a while, then wrote a letter to Master Xu, asking how her mother was doing.
Not receiving a reply for a while, he returned to Xifu.
In the study of the City Lord's Mansion, Chu Tianshu reported to Tang Wenhua and Cao Yanjun what Tang Yue had done that day.
"I actually underestimated her. In less than a day, she had arranged the government office clearly, and some villains even rushed to flatter her."
Tang Wenhua was so angry that he crushed another diamond jade tea bowl. Chu Tianshu said: "Father-in-law, Shui Yingrou and Tang Yue must have been plotting against Kunwu City for a long time, so they could launch the attack so quickly and find a replacement."
"What a wolfish ambition!" Cao Yanjun said hatefully.
"According to my investigation today, Tang Yue used a large amount of money to buy people's hearts. If this money was her own, it would be fine. I am worried that she used Qionghua Pavilion's money."
Although Chu Tianshu had never been in charge of city affairs, he had been responsible for the salaries of disciples in Xuanyuan Mountain. He roughly calculated the number of spirit stones that Tang Yue had distributed today and the number was shocking.
"It's a disaster that ruins the family!" Tang Wenhua treated all the money, whether it belonged to Qionghua Pavilion or earned by Tang Yue, as his own.
"We have to deal with Tang Yue as soon as possible, otherwise it will leave a big mess."
Chu Tianshu felt very distressed, as if all the money Tang Yue was spending was his.
Tang Wenhua was silent for a while, "I will write a letter to Elder Liu."
After Chu Tianshu finished his report, he left to find Tang Wan.
When I walked to her courtyard gate, I heard groaning sounds coming from inside, but no one was serving her.
Anger rose from my heart, "Where is she? Who gave you the courage to leave the young lady alone in the room?"
He entered the courtyard and looked around the garden and the front room, but there was no one there, not even anyone making medicine.
He said hatefully, "This wicked slave has bullied me." Then he went out to look for someone.
When he saw that they didn't tell anyone to serve him, he beat them up first to vent his anger, saying that they were disrespectful to the lady.
After the fight, those people started shouting that they were not servants in the mansion at all, but minor clerks in the mansion, and were about to deliver a message to the city lord.
"Then do you know why there is no one in the eldest lady's room?"
The clerk was afraid that he would have another attack, so he told him the rumors in the mansion over the past two days, "They said that the eldest lady looked too scary, and the black energy on her body could poison people to death. After two maids died, the others fled."
"This is the Kunwu City Lord's Mansion. How dare they escape?"
The clerk lowered his head even more, "I heard that they went to ask the Second Miss for help, so the Second Miss cancelled their indentures and let them leave the house."
The gloom in Tang Wenhua's eyes became more and more intense. Tang Yue actually hated her sister so much. At such a critical moment, no one was there to serve her. Wouldn't it be the end of Tang Wan's life?
In fact, Tang Wenhua placed a relic bead blessed by a Buddhist monk in Tang Wan's body, which temporarily slowed down the evil spirit's destruction of her body and saved her life.
In this way, she doesn't need to eat or drink, doesn't need to be fed medicine, and in fact, doesn't need anyone to serve her.
The servants in the mansion are all mortals. How can they withstand the evil spirit created by the backlash of the curse god?
However, Chu Tianshu only thought about Tang Wan's pain and didn't care about the lives of these mortals.
He said to the clerk, "You go in and serve the young lady, and you don't have to do anything else."
The petty official was horrified. He was just a Qigong practitioner and would only die if he went to Tang Wan.
He hurriedly said, "Master Chu, I am a man, how can I serve you so closely?"
Chu Tianshu thought about it and said, "That's right. Go out and buy a few women and I'll go talk to the second young lady."
After he gave the order, he turned around and went to look for Tang Yue, without going in to see Tang Yue who was suffering from the evil spirit.
Tang Wan's miserable condition was so horrifying that Chu Tianshu didn't want to associate it with the charming and lovely Tang Wan at all.
However, when they arrived at the West Mansion, they were blocked at the door by a formation.
"She's back, why hasn't the formation been removed yet?" Chu Tianshu frowned.
The gatekeeper couldn't afford to offend him, so he stood in the doorway and bowed, saying, "I don't know either. The young city lord didn't tell me the reason."
"Open the formation in front of the door and let me in."
"Don't blame me, Lord Chu. There is also a spell on this door. I can't open it. I can only see what's going on and pass it on."
After hearing what he said, Chu Tianshu knew that he couldn't get in. He had been rejected by Tang Yue several times, so there was no need for him to ask and embarrass himself in front of the servants.
But Tang Wan was anxious, so she sent a message to Tang Yue, saying that her sister was in a very bad condition and that as a younger sister, it would have been ok for her not to take care of her, but why did she even let the servants there go?
He also wanted to buy slaves, so she didn't let them go anymore.
This time Tang Yue replied quickly, the content was simple: Tang Wan failed to harm others, and suffered the consequences, and deserved the punishment. If he dared to buy people, she would dare to release them. If he had money, he could buy them.
"How can this be possible!" Chu Tianshu was so angry that he slapped the stone lion at the door. However, the lion had a formation on it and it bounced his force back.
Chu Tianshu immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Brother Chu, why are you injured internally?"
At this time, a handsome man, followed by several guards, came to visit Tang Yue. He was very surprised to see his condition.
