Chapter 25 Revenge
After the voting was completed, Sangong began to count the votes, one, two...it was only a dozen or twenty votes, and the results came out quickly.
Comparing the pros and cons, the ratio of votes is quite disparate.
"Grandpa, how are you?"
Someone was anxious and asked first.
Nong Gong was stable, his expression didn't change much. After looking at each other with Fugong and Haigong, he said: "We will make a unified announcement tomorrow. Now you can go back."
Oh?
Isn’t this sharp turn too strange?
"Why not now..."
Before the question arose, Haigong stepped forward and stood in front of Nonggong.
He was born strong and powerful, and his face was majestic and melancholy. As one of the most powerful people in the Tang family, Hai Gong always showed his toughness and ruthlessness.
Because of this, few people in the clan dare to confront him head on.
“Don’t say anything!”
After the tribesmen left with suspicious expressions on their faces, Mr. Fu took off his tense expression. He stepped forward and tore it into pieces in a few strokes. Voting results.
Immediately, he showed a desolate and sarcastic smile: "Although our Tang family is said to be rich and unkind by others, most of our descendants are loyal and patriotic people!"
Look at the number of votes. Nine times out of ten, they are unwilling to conspire with the rebel party and are "iron-willed" in wanting to remain innocent in this world for the rest of their lives.
After Maomao heard the result, he swept his neck hair with his beak, spread his wings and flew out from a corner.
“The results are out, but what should we do now?” The farmer shook his head helplessly.
Hai Gong was more straightforward this time. He said with a cold face: "We asked them to make the decision. Now for these unworthy descendants, what else can we do? Just give up your life!"< br>
The farmer was stunned: "Are you really... willing to give Xu Shanshan ten years of life in exchange? But if she is a liar, she will not be able to solve our problem at all, then..."
At this time, Mr. Fu sighed and said: "That's just back to the current situation. If she is lying, then the life span is naturally false. If it is true... in the end, no one has taken advantage of anyone." "
When the farmer heard what he said, his mind came to his senses.
They didn't know the choice ahead, but now they just transferred this important responsibility to Xu Shanshan, hoping that she could give them a correct answer.
What a mistake. The consequences...are unimaginable.
——
When the three-day period came, King Chen came to the Tang family again. He was confident.
He didn’t think the Tang family dared to reject him as a prince.
However, the result was far beyond his expectation.
"The prince's favor and promotion are so daring that the Tang family dare not accept it. The Tang family is just a businessman and just wants to survive according to its duties. I don't dare to interfere in the disputes of the big shots, and I don't have the ability." Intervene and ask the prince to let go of the Tang family."
Though he was so old, he still had a stooped body. He knelt down respectfully and begged and kowtowed to King Chen.
But if there is anyone who has compassion, it is not King Chen.
Obviously he was very angry at the disobedience, but King Chen was still smiling.
His eyes were like two deep pools, cold and sharp: "So...are you, the Tang family, rejecting this king?"
They were even more frightened: "Please, Your Majesty Forgive me, there are hundreds of people in the Tang family, we...can't afford to take this risk."
"This king said that your Tang family has only two options." A sad voice. Full of final warnings.
San Gong's face turned pale and his palms were sweating, but he held on and refused to change his words.
"Okay, okay, since you Tang family are so ignorant of good and evil, I don't need to talk nonsense. I just hope that you will do well in the future."
Prince Chen He led the guards and walked away. Panting heavily, San Gong was sweating profusely all over his body. King Chen's royal aura was so furious that it was really not something ordinary people could bear.
"Is it really the right choice for us to make this choice? It's better to live an ignoble life than to offend King Chen, right?" The farmer suddenly regretted it.
However, Haigong was a man who walked all the way. He gritted his teeth and said: "We, the Tang family, have been doing business in Jiuzhou for so many years. We are not soft persimmons. Even if we are in a head-on confrontation, we will not be vulnerable!"
The Tang family is not just a businessman.
The Tang family wins over many officials every year, cultivates scholars in the name of charity, and also trains followers privately, and has built up a large Tang family from Kui Wu, Kui Wen, and Kui Shang. power.
Fu Gong also showed an arrogant expression: "That's right, he, King Chen, has underestimated my Tang family!"
——
That day, it was night.
The night is dark and windy.
"Something happened, Mr. Fu. A group of black-clad killers broke into Wangxian Valley! They killed the guards of the Tang family and are heading towards the Tang family's old house!"
Climb over the towering The ridge of the mountain is the Wangxian Valley, but entering the valley is neither a road nor a ladder, but a winding plank road that twists and turns. When walking on it, you can only see a sliver of sky when you look up.
Fu Gong widened his eyes in panic: "How did they break through the city wall and guard posts?"
Kui Wu reported the report with an ugly face: "I'm afraid... they are not from outside, but have been lurking in Shangqiu early in the morning. They are King Chen... He has been in and out several times, and he secretly left behind manpower and hidden weapons."
"Don't you even realize this?!"
How dare they search King Chen's entourage? It can only be said that King Chen is a very deep man in the city. He has premeditated and planned every step. Compared with his scheming, The Tang family simply shouldn’t be too naive.
“How many more manpower are there?”
“The incident happened suddenly, and my subordinates sent a message to mobilize the surrounding Kuiwu to gather urgently, but I’m afraid... it’s too late.”
"Inform the people in the house immediately and take emergency refuge!"
To show its uniqueness and lofty status, the Tang family's old house was specially built at the highest point in Shangqiu, far away from the town. Now it is fine. If it is in trouble, I am afraid Even though they were shouting to the sky and the earth, they couldn’t wait for rescue.
Two rows of lights lit by the younger brothers snaked into the distance, and the crowd surged between the lights. In the sudden midnight, there seemed to be some uneasiness, swaying in the wind.
After receiving the news, the young and old of the Tang family hid in the government ancestral hall as soon as possible.
Kui Wuze dispersed the crowds in all directions, leading the black-clad killers outside to search everywhere.
King Chen appeared surrounded by his guards. Under the bright light of the torch, his elegant and kind face was extremely dark and twisted: "Since you don't want to be used by me, there is no need to exist."
" "Your Majesty, the Tang family is hiding, do you need to use fire to force them to show up?"
"No, the anxiety and fear before death are far more torturous than killing them with a knife. How can we call Tang?" How could a family member die so easily?”
——
In the dim ancestral hall, Mr. Fu stood in front of the memorial tablets of the Tang family’s ancestors, his face full of self-blame, guilt and guilt. The emotion of regret.
"Brother, we believed Xu Shanshan wrong. We promised that as long as we reject King Chen, our Tang family will be safe and sound, but now that damn King Chen is about to exterminate our Tang family!" Haigong said angrily.
The farmer was also about to faint: "Where are our people, why haven't they arrived yet?"
"How come there is no time? This King Chen is really insidious and cunning, no, he is He is cruel and ruthless, and those who obey will prosper and those who rebel will perish. He has already ambushed our men in Shangqiu in advance!"
"How dare he!"
If such a bold move to raise troops is If the court found out, how should he explain it?
"I suspect... King Chen has planned to rebel boldly tomorrow. He doesn't care if others know what he has done, and he is sure that no one will stand up for the Tang family."
