Chapter 501 Agreement
At noon the next day, Tang Feng looked at the raindrops outside connecting the sky and the earth in the hall, but was thinking about the ancestral tombs on the mountain. It has been ten days since then. According to the situation, the damaged tombs on that day are about to be rebuilt. However, in this annoying weather, I don’t know what kind of day I can choose to worship my ancestors again.
Tang Feng, who had never been to Jiangnan, was still unable to adapt to the current rainy weather, and always felt a little uncomfortable. After sighing, he stood up from the chair and wanted to go back and tease his daughter with his wife. At this time, he walked in: "Sir, the magistrate of Shanyin County is asking for a meeting outside the door."
"Oh?" Tang Feng immediately remembered what he told the county magistrate yesterday. Did Zhuge Changming figured it out? He hurriedly sat back and said, "Let him come in."
"The Xiaguan has met Lord Tang." County Magistrate Tu walked in with a smile. As soon as he saw Tang Feng, he bowed and said, "What the lord asked Xiaguan to do has been done. The criminal named Ge asked the prison leader to bring out the words, saying that he wanted to meet him."
"Thank you for your hard work in the county magistrate. The person who is raining now has to come here in person. Let's go to the prison to see him and see what he wants to say." Tang Feng said with a smile and then got up. But the county magistrate hurriedly stopped him and said, "I dare not work on your great master Tang. The person who committed the official has brought him. Now he is waiting for the master's call outside the door."
Tang Feng knew that this was the way for the magistrate Tu to please him, so he smiled and nodded: "That would be too troublesome to Guixian. It would save my official troubles. Then please bring someone up."
Zhuge Changming walked into the hall under the leadership of several yamen runners. He was covered with heavy shackles. Obviously, the county magistrate Tu was afraid that he would use some means to escape after he was out of the cage, so he added a lot of things to him. Every step he took, Zhuge Changming had to spend a lot of effort, and the long iron chain was dragging on the ground, making waves of jingling sounds. Tang Feng frowned slightly and said, "When you get here, you don't have to do this. Remove his extra shackles." As he spoke, he glanced at the solution to the doubts not far from him. With him, Zhuge Changming would not hurt him.
"Yes!" A jailer untied the shackles for him when he heard this, which made Zhuge Changming's body relax, and his frown brows stretched a little. Tang Feng looked at his appearance. It was only one day. Zhuge Changming was even more upset than yesterday. Obviously, this day was very distressing for him. Tang Feng did not ask him immediately, but looked at the magistrate Tu. The magistrate was very conscious and knew that some things were not something he could know, so he said, "There are still some things to do in the government office, so let's go back first. If the sir, just ask someone to send them back." As he said that, he only brought a few yamen runners and left, while the jailer stayed outside and waited to take the person back to the prison later.
The hall soon became quiet, with only three people left. Tang Feng then pointed to a chair below and said, "Sit down."
Zhuge Changming glanced at him, then slowly sat down. Tang Feng said again: "How is it, have you made up your mind? Should you honestly explain the lives of your closest relatives, or should you let your family bury you for the holy teaching you mentioned?" Although his words were very plain, the words were obviously threatening.
After looking at the situation in the hall, Zhuge Changming suddenly had a bold idea in his mind. There were only three people here. Although he was injured, he still had a few more skills. If he could capture Tang Feng in one fell swoop, he might be able to escape. But when his eyes fell on the body of solving doubts, the idea was immediately dispelled by him. With just one glance, he could see that this young man was not simple, and his cultivation was more sophisticated than when he was not injured.
Tang Feng didn't expect that he would have such thoughts at this time, so he continued, "Why, haven't you thought about it yet?"
"I am willing to help you." In the end, Zhuge Changming uttered these words with difficulty, which made Tang Feng's eyebrows widen: "A practitioner is a hero, can see the situation clearly, and choose the path that is most beneficial to him. Zhuge Changming, you are also a hero."
"Hey!" Zhuge Changming smiled bitterly: "What a gentleman, I am just a villain who is afraid of life and death and is trapped in unjustice. But if I want to say everything I know, there is still a condition."
"You said." Seeing that he was finally willing to cooperate, Tang Feng naturally had nothing to agree to: "As long as I can do it, it will definitely satisfy you."
"I will first see my son and grandson, and only after I know they are safe can I tell you everything I know. Also, afterwards, I will ask the court to ensure their safety so that they will not be harmed by the people of the White Lotus Sect. I believe you should also know that my Holy Sect has always spared no effort in dealing with traitors."
"Okay, I can agree to your condition." Tang Feng nodded and said, "Now they are on the way to Shaoxing, and they will be here as soon as possible before the tenth day of the lunar calendar. But there is one thing I want to ask first, how much do you know about the White Lotus Sect."
"Many, almost everything, including the current location of the leader, and the secret branches of our holy religion in the south..."
Although I don’t know what all this is, Tang Feng was still so excited when he heard Zhuge Changming say a lot about the White Lotus Sect that he really wanted to know. If he could master all this and use it to deal with the White Lotus Sect, even if they could not be completely removed, they could seriously damage their vitality and no longer have any abnormal movements for decades. So Tang Feng showed a satisfied smile: "Okay, then I will wait for your family to arrive, and I hope you will not break your promise at that time."
"I keep my word and hope that the court will not deceive me." Zhuge Changming also said. At the same time, he had another conspiracy in his heart. This was the last solution he came up with after a night of hard thinking. That was to delay the time by using the excuse that he wanted to make an answer after seeing the safety of his family. He hoped that the leader could react quickly after discovering that the situation was not good, so that the losses of the Holy Church might be minimized. "This is the last thing I can do for the Holy Church..."
In fact, he did not hide any of his thoughts from Tang Feng, but he also knew that this was the limit that Zhuge Changming could do. If he was forced too much, it would backfire, so he pretended not to know. After sending him back to prison, Tang Feng called Tan Shujie and others: "In the past few days, your people must be careful of the people in Shaoxing Mansion and not let someone spread the situation here. Also, the brothers who ordered the people from Wuhan to travel day and night to deliver the people quickly."
While waiting for those people to arrive, Tang Feng finally waited for the renovation of his ancestor's tomb. When he learned the news, Tang Feng braved the drizzle to go up the mountain to check it out. He saw that the originally simple tomb had changed with the efforts of Shaoxing Prefecture and the people around him. Not only was it covered with bluestone slabs, but the tombstone was also replaced with pieces of white marble. It made people feel solemn in their eyes.
Seeing all this, Tang Feng realized that he had an explanation to the ancestors of the Tang family. At least, the person who had stole the bodies of their descendants did not make them feel uneasy after their death. After nodding with satisfaction, Tang Feng said to Yin Dahong, who accompanied him up the mountain: "Master Yin, I have really taken you this time. I, Tang Feng, thank you for your kindness on behalf of my Tang family." As he said that, he bowed respectfully.
"Sir, you are too polite. All this is what the lower officials should do. Besides, the adults have fought for the people of our Shaoxing Mansion, and the people are willing to do this little thing for them." Yin Dahong was flattered and hurriedly returned the court. Then he pointed to the newly renovated cemetery and said, "Sir, these stones were voluntarily presented by the local stone farm owner, and these words were written by people who are quite accomplished in calligraphy in the mansion. There is no need to spend any money. So the lower officials made little contribution this time, but they were just mobilized in the middle."
Tang Feng was even more grateful after hearing this, and said to himself: "The elders of my hometown treat me like this. I must do more things to repay their love for me!"
Since the grave has been renovated, the worship matter has been brought up again. This time the day of selection was very fast. On the eighth day of the fifth month, Tang Feng brought people up the mountain to perform sacrifices again. This time, Liu Hui and Tang Chuoer were also among them.
After the worship, Tang Fenghan ordered people to bring the remaining three people from the assassins who assassinated him here that day and destroyed the ancestral tomb. The three of them thought they could save their lives by answering, but they didn't expect that after a few days, they could not escape the disaster, so they were scared to death.
"The unfilial descendants have caused our ancestors to be at ease under the nine springs. Today, I rebuilt the mountain tombs and I used these thieves who disturbed our ancestors to pay tribute to me!" After praying, Tang Feng waved his hand: "Kill these three people for me, chop off their heads to worship the ancestors of the Tang family!"
With the sound of "Puchi!", three heads were cut off one by one by one by a quick knife, and then placed in front of the grave and placed with the offerings. Until this moment, everyone felt Tang Feng's cruelty.
