The Tang family invited Tang Biao to be executed

The competition ended that day, and for several days in a row, the city was talking about it with great relish.

The most famous story was of course the love-hate relationship between the champion of the competition, Tang Zifeng, and his scumbag uncle. The storytellers in the teahouse would tell this story several times every day, telling the same scene over and over again, but the audience never got tired of it.

With a startling wooden sound, the storyteller in a cool long gown started a tune.

"But it's said that the 16-year-old genius boy of the Tang family was framed by his uncle..."

The audience below spontaneously continued, "Then he ended up on the streets, endured humiliation and returned to the top. We have heard this story many times. Can we change it?"

Well, it seems a bit boring.

As a result, the storyteller paused for a while and actually nodded, "Okay, then let's change it."

The storytelling market is too competitive, and he has to improve his skills to make a living. After the competition, he was thinking about how to say something new, and now the manuscript is ready.

Bang! There was another startling sound, and the storyteller rolled up his sleeves and said loudly: "Today we won't talk about the two people in the Tang family, oh, I'm tired of it. Let's talk about the benefactor family of the championship Tang Zifeng, the Nanling Qin family!"

The window of a private room on the second floor was open, just facing the storyteller on the first floor, and the ups and downs of the voice came up, occasionally accompanied by the sound of cracking melon seeds.

Qirong had a circle of melon seeds in his mouth. He moved his cheeks like a hamster, and after a while, he spit the melon seeds into his bone plate. This guy didn't eat melon seeds at all, he just sucked them for the sweet taste.

Qin Ruqing commented on him, "What a waste!"

Qirong chuckled, "Why did the storyteller add a prefix to the Qin family?" He imitated, "The benefactor family of the championship Tang Zifeng..."

Qin Ruqing spit out the melon seed shells and explained calmly, "For traffic. Tang Zifeng is now a big celebrity in Xiling City."

"But the Qin family, in Nanling, is this!" The storyteller raised his thumb, "They cure diseases and refine pills, and they hang pots to save the world. They are a good family with a compassionate heart!"

"At this time, Tang Zifeng, the genius weapon refiner who had just been driven out of the family, also went through untold hardships to cross the Broken Vein Mountain, suffered injuries, and came to Nanling."

"Oh, Nanling, that's a beautiful place with clear water and mountains. It's not hot there, and I heard that the female cultivators there are all gentle and beautiful! But unfortunately, the genius boy Tang Zifeng came here not for tourism, but to avoid being hunted down by his scum uncle. Nanling is a remote place. Generally, people who want to go sightseeing go to Beiling, but in order to escape, he naturally had to go to a remote place."

"Tang Zifeng was seriously injured, so of course he had to buy pills to heal his injuries, so he went to the Qin family's pill shop. Unfortunately, he had no money. The Qin family is a family with great medical ethics. The beautiful fairy who manages the pill shop saw a down-and-out boy often wandering at the door of the pill shop, and felt sympathy for him, so she gave him a few pills to heal his injuries."

"The beautiful fairy who manages the alchemy workshop?" Qi Rong was confused. "Third sister, are you talking about this?"

Lu Wei was a little hesitant and stopped peeling melon seeds. "No, the one who manages the alchemy workshop is the third elder. I just work in the clinic. He must have made this up."

Qin Ruqing was amused to see the two of them being seriously confused. This is the old trick of storytellers, they have to insert some erotic content into the jokes. If Tang Zifeng was a female cultivator, the lines would have to be changed to those of a tall, handsome and strong man.

The storyteller continued, "How could Tang Zifeng receive such a favor for nothing? Thinking that he was an instrument maker, he took out his most precious instrument maker work. Hey, it was a bracelet with decorative properties, which was just right for the beautiful female cultivator."

Qin Ruqing: Poof~

"It turned out that the beautiful female cultivator had vision and saw that the bracelet was not ordinary. She reported it to the family, and the Qin family invited a professional instrument maker to study it. The instrument maker was amazed and said that the bracelet must have been made by a master. Hey, she actually wanted to worship Tang Zifeng as her teacher!"

Tang Zifeng: ...

"We don't know whether this master finally became his disciple or not, but the Qin family was impressed by Tang Zifeng's talent, so they invited him to be a chief priest in the Qin family. Later, he was promoted to the well-known guest elder."

Qin Ruqing smiled and nudged Tang Zifeng with his left arm, "So you were a chief priest in our family!"

Tang Zifeng didn't even raise his eyelids, and concentrated on peeling the melon seeds without eating them.

Qin Ruqing raised an eyebrow and asked, "Why don't you eat?"

Tang Zifeng: "I'm getting angry."

Qirong was curious: "Hey, how did Big Brother Tang come to our house in the first place?"

Qin Ruqing quietly pinched a small handful of the melon seeds that Tang Zifeng peeled out, quickly stuffed it into his mouth, and said without blinking: "He slipped the note to seduce us first, and then I asked the Zhang family to get him over! Besides, he is not as bad as the storytellers say. He is doing very well. He is also a guest elder of the Zhang family, and he also wants to be the head of the Zhang family's alchemy room."

The famous head of the alchemy room plot reappeared in the arena. Tang Zifeng silently pushed the plate of peeled melon seeds towards Qin Ruqing and successfully blocked her mouth.

After two pots of tea, when the storyteller began to tell the love story between Tang Zifeng and the beautiful female cultivator of the Qin family, Qin Ruqing clapped his hands, stood up and said:

"It's time to go. If the Tang family sends someone to invite you again today, let's go. After all, it's the third time to visit the thatched cottage. I heard that Tang Biao has also been captured."

After the end of the weapon refining conference, the Tang family has been arresting Tang Biao while inviting Tang Zifeng back to the clan to discuss matters. Even the first two times they sent special elders to invite him.

Qin Ruqing said don't worry.

"It's so funny. At that time, those idiots drove you out of the family. Now that you are popular and useful, they want to invite you back. They are used to it. Why don't they come three or four times!"

Now is the third time the Tang family has come.

In addition to the Tang family, the fifth guesthouse where Qin Ruqing and his friends lived also had people visiting constantly. Not to mention the noble families who wanted to seek cooperation, there were two people who were quite special.

One was the manager of the casino. Qin Ruqing won all the bets he placed during the competition that day, which was simply a huge profit.

Normally, the casino would try to delay paying such a large sum of money, but the casino not only gave it generously, but the manager personally came to give Qin Ruqing the money. He probably heard that the young playboy that day was from the Qin family, and one of them was a famous person, Tang Zifeng.

The other one was a bench youth, who came to thank Qin Ruqing especially, because thanks to her guidance, he later recorded all the photo stones as Brother No. 68. After Tang Zifeng won the championship, all his photo stones were sold out, and even people bought them at a price of 10,000 spirit stones. Brother Bench made a fortune and was very happy. He specially invited Qin Ruqing to have tea. Of course, Qin Ruqing ruthlessly refused.

When they returned to the fifth inn, they saw someone lingering at the door of the inn, looking like he was waiting for someone. When they got closer, they found that the person was Tang Chen, the head of the Tang family.

Wow, this time they really showed their respect, the head of the family came in person.

When Tang Chen saw them coming, his eyes lit up, and he first glanced at Tang Zifeng, and couldn't help but shouting, "Zifeng..."

Seeing that he didn't say anything, he paused for a moment, then turned to Qin Ruqing and said, "Elder Qin, the Qin family is a distinguished guest of our Tang family. It is not our way of hospitality for them to stay in the inn for a long time. Why don't you stay at my Tang family for a while? Even if you don't like my Tang family, a banquet should be a courtesy."

As the head of the silver family of Tang Chen, he said this, which was a great honor to Qin Ruqing.

Qin Ruqing smiled, glanced

at Tang Zifeng, and said, "Patriarch Tang, you don't have to be polite. Whether we go to the Tang family or not is not about us, but about Tang Zifeng." Patriarch Tang sighed, looked at Tang Zifeng again, and said after a while, "Zifeng, even if you hate the family, you have to ask about Tang Biao's affairs. I caught him yesterday, so I have to ask for your opinion on how to deal with him."

Tang Zifeng was silent for a while, and then said, "Patriarch, you misunderstood. I don't hate the family. Since Tang Biao has been caught, I have something to say to him, so I'll go back."

Tang Chen was happy, "Okay, okay, let's go, Elder Qin, please go first!"

The main gate of the silver family Tang family opened, and welcomed Qin Ruqing and his party with a very high standard. At the banquet, they formally discussed the issue of how to deal with Tang Biao.

Tang Chen said solemnly: "Tang Biao first committed the crime of plagiarism, which is a taboo in the family of refining tools; then he framed and killed his own clansmen, which is the crime of fratricide; and finally he openly escaped from the refining tool meeting, damaging the family's reputation. The three crimes are combined, and according to the clan rules, he should be punished with 50 strokes of the cane, and then his surname will be stripped and he will be expelled from the country forever."

When these words came out, Qirong, who was sitting in front of the desk, was shocked. In his opinion, such a punishment was already very severe. The surname was stripped, and he was expelled from the mirror forever, which meant that he could not only not return to the clan, but also could not return to Xiling. However, compared with the crimes committed by Tang Biao, it was a good match.

Lu Wei was the person who knew the Qin family rules best. After hearing this, she calculated silently in her heart. If someone in the Qin family committed such a serious crime, they should be punished with similar punishment.

Fifty strokes of the cane. This is not an ordinary wooden cane used by mortals. It is made of a special metal material. It looks small, but it weighs a thousand pounds. After fifty strokes of the cane, even a cultivator would have his tendons and veins broken. This person is considered half useless.

When Tang Chen said this, he was mainly looking at Tang Zifeng. After all, Tang Zifeng's opinion was the most important in how to deal with Tang Biao.

As for his son who died in vain, it can only be said that it was fate. If Tang Biao deliberately killed his clansmen, then of course he would have to pay with his life. But the evidence so far only showed that Tang Biao accidentally blew up his son. He could only swallow this loss.

Tang Zifeng said nothing. He sat very neatly, his eyes fixed on the wine cup, looking at the shadow of the Tang family mansion reflected on it. Although he had returned to a familiar place, his heart could not settle down. He felt empty and confused.

Tang Zifeng subconsciously looked in the direction of Qin Ruqing. She was always so independent-minded, sober, firm, and fearless. He looked in her direction, just like people on the grassland instinctively chasing the wind.

Tang Zifeng's eyes looking at Qin Ruqing were not sharp, but very present. Qin Ruqing sighed in his heart, how come he is a little like a puppy. Is this person so calm even in his hatred?

After tasting every dish on the table slowly and steadily, he wiped his mouth and spoke calmly.

"I wonder if Chief Tang has carefully investigated Tang Biao?"

Tang Chen was a little confused for a moment, "What Elder Qin means is..."

Qin Ruqing raised the corners of his mouth calmly, "Are these the only crimes of Tang Biao? Even if Chief Tang himself thinks that if such a punishment is made public, it may calm the anger of the people of Xiling who have been fooled? Can the Tang family restore its reputation?"

Tang Chen was like being hit by a club and immediately lost the ability to speak. The elders of the Tang family who were sitting at the desks also looked at each other.

Previously, I saw Qin Ruqing just sitting there eating and ignoring their conversation, and I thought that the famous "Elder Qin" of the Qin family was probably just a show-off. But now, seeing her few plain words, they really hit the nail on the head.

It can be seen that fame is something that some people fake, while others are not groundless.

The biggest feature of Tang Chen's personality is that he is easily influenced, but at the best, he is willing to listen to opinions. At this time, he said seriously:

"Please give me some advice, Elder Qin."

Qin Ruqing waved his hand, "I don't deserve your advice, but I just want to remind Chief Tang of a few things. This is not the only weapon refining competition that Tang Biao has participated in since he became famous. In the previous competitions, he didn't always win first place, but at least his ranking and scores were not shameful, so no one suspected that he had plagiarized before."

"But forgive me for being frank, I don't think the noble Tang Biao is a talented weapon maker. Not to mention the piece he copied from Tang Zifeng, the following pieces don't seem like something he could have made. I also asked Tang Zifeng, and he said that the styles and techniques of those pieces were mixed, and they didn't look like they were made by the same person. Patriarch Tang should investigate carefully to see if there are any unfortunate people hidden under Tang Biao's command. Tang Biao doesn't care, those unfortunate people are all innocent." If

she had spent her whole life looking for a gunman, it would have been such a rubbish that it wouldn't even be news. But in the world of cultivating immortals, normal people wouldn't think in that direction.

As expected, Tang Chen was startled, and then frowned, "How dare the beast do this?"

"I don't know whether he dares or not, just in case, it's better for Patriarch Tang to investigate. This matter is also easy to investigate, just start with the people around him, after all, Tang Biao can't do everything himself."

She felt that if she investigated like this, there might be a surprise. On the stage that day, Tang Biao looked like he could be directly admitted to a mental hospital.

Tang Chen pondered for a while, whispered a few words to the attendant beside him, and the attendant took the order and went down. Within a quarter of an hour, he brought up a middle-aged man.

"He is Tang Biao's personal steward."

Qin Ruqing took a look and smiled, "He looks familiar." That day, when Tang Biao came to block her, wasn't this man following behind him?

The steward looked at Qin Ruqing and trembled for some reason. Qin Ruqing did not speak again. If she was still needed to interrogate the prisoners, then the Tang family should become her younger brother as soon as possible.

The weapon-refining family was very good at interrogating prisoners. The second elder of the Tang family, who was in charge of the interrogation, personally took action. A pair of long nail-like things pierced the manager's shoulder blades, and his face immediately became fierce. And this was not even an appetizer. The second elder took out

a roll of needle bags slowly and spread it out. Inside, there was a whole set of needles of the same size or even thicker.

The steward grew up in the Tang family and knew the interrogation methods of the Tang family. Even a loyal servant might not be able to stand it, and he was not a loyal servant.

The steward had long been fed up with Tang Biao. Without waiting for the second elder to come up with the second pair of needles, he immediately exposed all of Tang Biao's crimes.

This frightened the ignorant elders of the Tang family, who couldn't understand how their family could produce such a person who was worse than a pig or a dog.

It turns out that none of Tang Biao's works were made by him. After he became famous, his already eccentric temper became even worse. He enjoyed his fame but was worried that he would be exposed in the future. So he thought of a way to find talented weapon makers in the weapon maker competitions of all sizes in Xiling. After using the power of the Tang family to capture them, he hid them in the basement of his courtyard. Whenever there was an important competition, he asked them to design drawings for him day and night.

When the steward said this, Tang Chen was so angry that he smashed the dishes directly, and all the elders had gloomy faces.

The steward shook his body, but continued, because Tang Biao's crimes were not limited to this.

He said that in addition to this, Tang Biao also liked to play with various male and female tripods. If they just used the cauldron to cultivate, it would be fine, because this bad custom has always existed in the world of cultivating immortals. But Tang Biao also likes to torture the cauldrons in various ways, and finally make them disabled or die.

After listening to this, Qin Ruqing thought that this was no longer simply bad. Tang Biao might have a mental problem and was a pervert.

Tang Chen and a group of Tang family elders were so angry that their faces turned blue. They couldn't understand how the family style of their Tang family could cultivate such a thing.

Tang Chen said: "It seems that the clan should be rectified." Such a big thing, he, the clan leader, didn't even hear a word of it.

Qin Ruqing had no control over how the Tang family should be rectified. She was willing to come to the Tang family for only two things, one of which was to make sure that Tang Biao would die.

After she took charge of clan affairs, she knew that there were many rules in the family, and she would be punished at any time. However, it was not so easy to execute someone.

Although Tang Biao was abominable, he did not commit the crime of intentional homicide, so the punishment would be exile at best.

Tang Biao's evil deeds were more than that. His death was a way to give an explanation to Tang Zifeng and those innocent victims.

Qin Ruqing deliberately mentioned, "Then Tang Biao..."

Tang Chen looked over with a serious expression: "Don't worry, Elder Qin, such a beast must not be allowed to stay in the world. Even if he is executed directly, it will be too easy for him. The Tang family will announce Tang Biao's crimes to the outside world and punish him in front of the people of Xiling to warn future generations and prove the determination of the Tang family to rectify Su Qing!"

Qin Ruqing laughed secretly in his heart. This Tang clan leader is not stupid enough. Tang Biao's fall has caused a shocking scandal in the Tang family and greatly damaged its reputation. Although Tang Zifeng is famous, he was expelled from the family and is no longer considered a member of his Tang family. The Tang family urgently needs to prove itself to the people of Xiling and the aristocratic families to restore its reputation.

Well, executing Tang Biao, the great villain, in front of the people is the best way. This will prove that Tang Biao's evil is inherently bad, and our Tang family can still distinguish right from wrong. The reputation that has fallen to the bottom can be slightly restored after such a wave.

And the rest of the reputation will depend on... Qin Ruqing looked silently in the direction of Tang Zifeng. He lowered his eyes, as if he was immersed in his own world again.

After the banquet, Qin Ruqing was about to leave, and Tang Chen's repeated attempts to keep him were rejected by Qin Ruqing.

What a joke, living in the Tang family, the largest silver family in Xiling, people will think that we are cooperating with the Tang family. She is still thinking of living in the fifth guest house, using the identity of "single" to hook up with a few more Xiling families.

The Xianpin Bureau is official, so it doesn't count.

When Qin Ruqing and the others were walking out, Tang Zifeng followed them habitually. Tang Chen's eyelids jumped, and he grabbed Tang Zifeng's sleeve and said with a smile: "Zifeng hasn't been home for a long time, so stay in the clan today!"

Hearing the word "home", Qin Ruqing and the others stopped and looked at Tang Zifeng with a smile.

Tang Zifeng pursed his lips, then raised his eyes and said bluntly: "I don't want to go back to the clan for the time being."

The other person hinted in a tactful way, but Tang Zifeng was a good guy and directly broke that layer of membrane.

Tang Chen choked, but he was not disappointed, after all, Tang Zifeng did not refuse to die. He asked: "When do you plan to return to the tribe? You know, this is your home after all."

Tang Zifeng looked away, not looking at Tang Chen's expectant eyes, "Let's talk about returning to the tribe after I come out of the small floating space. I went back to Xiling this time to participate in the small floating space."

Tang Chen breathed a sigh of relief. After the small floating space, it's good, the secret realm will be opened soon, and I will stay in the secret realm for at most one year. Fortunately, there is still hope.

As a result, Tang Zifeng blinked and said, "I want a few more small floating space quotas."

Hey, you made a request, it's good to make a request! Tang Chen flicked his sleeves and said generously: "Okay, how many do you want? Our Tang family is a silver-grade family, and there are many quotas in the secret realm. At least one or two can be spared..." "

I want four."

Tang Chen choked.

"This..." He was suspicious, and looked at Qin Ruqing and the others, and suddenly realized that this was asking for quotas for the Qin family.

Tang Chen tried to bargain, "This, even for our silver family, there are only a dozen places. How many young people in the clan are waiting for this small floating space that is held every ten years. You want to take four at once, what will they think!"

As he said, Tang Chen sighed, as if he had come up with a good idea, "As long as you return to the clan, you can take one place openly, and I can evenly distribute the remaining three, which will be justified."

Tang Zifeng glanced at him and said, "That won't work. I won't return to the clan now. I want four."

Hey! Why are you so stubborn, kid!

Finally, seeing that he was really persistent, Tang Chen gritted his teeth and agreed.

Tang Zifeng's eyes flashed, and after thinking for a while, he said, "I also want a secret map."

Tang Chen: "?"

Qin Ruqing: Hahahahahahaha,

well done!
