Chapter 317: Public Outrage
"Ah, Cheng'er, my Cheng'er!"
Huang Ju felt a sharp pain in her heart, as if she could hardly breathe. She couldn't stand the shock, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted on the spot.
Nangong Xin glanced at Huang Ju and raised the corners of her mouth in joy. Haha, it really is Nangong Cheng, hahahaha…
He deserves it, he deserves to be burned to death!
Mom and Dad, this is your most beloved and most respected son, and you personally ordered him to be burned. Are you satisfied?
Ha ha ha ha……
"What? Say it again!"
Nangong Yetian's eyes were red, veins popped out on his forehead, and he looked at the servant with burning intent. His twisted look made it seem as if he wanted to swallow the servant alive into his stomach.
The servant was so frightened that his back went cold. He took a deep breath and said tremblingly, "I heard that Master Cheng is missing. I searched…searched all over the mansion, but I couldn't find any trace of him."
Nangong Yetian's legs went weak and he staggered a few times. He looked stiffly at Nangong Cheng, who was engulfed in flames in the square.
"puff!"
He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes were bloodshot, and he hurriedly gave orders to his tribesmen, "Put out the fire! Put out the fire quickly! Put out the fire quickly! That's not Nangong Liu, it's my Cheng'er!"
The heart-wrenching roar was deafening.
The tribesmen looked at each other and complained in their hearts: We didn't seem anxious just now, what's the point of being anxious now? People are almost burned to death, it's useless to save them.
Seeing that the tribe members were hesitant to move, Nangong Yetian's eyes turned bloodshot, and he threw his sleeves in anger, "You, all of you, help me put out the fire. Anyone who does not participate in putting out the fire will be punished according to the tribe rules!"
Luo Ranran uttered a heavy "Puh," coughed lightly, and deliberately changed her tone.
"Chief, you were the one who wanted the fire sacrifice, and now you are the one who wants to put out the fire. What on earth are you doing?"
"Although we are members of the Nangong family, we are not without human rights. We must follow your orders in everything."
"Also, the fire is so big now that it can't be put out unless it rains heavily. Don't forget that you ordered people to pour a lot of oil for fear that people might be burned to death~"
"The most important thing is that we don't want to take the risk of getting hurt, but you want to punish us according to the clan law. You clearly want us to die! You deserve to be killed!"
"I don't care. We are all born as human beings. It's not easy to come to this world. Why should we die in vain? Is it because you are the clan leader?"
Luo Ranran's complaints expressed the thoughts of everyone in the Nangong family. Everyone became excited and began to express their opinions.
"That's right, Patriarch. Nangong Cheng is your son, not ours. If you want to save him, go and save him yourself. I'm already giving you face by cooperating with you to watch the fire sacrifice today."
"That's right. Just because we are under your control, we have to save your son. I want to ask, why?"
“Humph, clan leader, your family’s life is life, don’t the lives of our clan members matter?”
“Clan leader, although you are the patriarch of the Nangong family, you do not have the final say in the entire Nangong family. Don’t forget that the four elders are watching over you.”
Luo Ranran sneered and spoke again.
"Fellow tribesmen, don't count on the four elders. They are birds of a feather with Nangong Yetian and have long been bribed by Nangong Yetian."
"What?"
Everyone was furious again, and their inner dissatisfaction grew stronger.
"No wonder, I knew it, the Nangong family has been on a downward slope since Nangong Yetian became the patriarch, but the four elders dare not say a word to Nangong Yetian, it turns out that they have been bought off!"
At this moment, a woman in the crowd was crying and extremely angry.
"Woo woo, Nangong Yetian, the four elders, I am now finally certain that my husband was killed by you guys."
"Woo woo, my husband, you died so tragically. Back then, I just suspected that the cause of death of Nangong Yemo and his wife was different, so I died inexplicably."
“Now that I think about it, Nangong Yetian must have been afraid that you would do something bad, and was even more afraid that you would reveal the truth about the death of Nanye Mo and his wife, so he killed you, and the four elders became the real culprits who protected him.”
"Wow, my husband, you died such a tragic death. I just hope that God will have eyes and let the people who hurt you get retribution!"
Nangong Yemo and his wife are Nangong Yu's parents.
The woman's words and actions instantly stirred up a huge wave. The Nangong family members had different expressions. Some were shocked, some thought it was as they expected, and some looked calm, as if they had known about it for a long time.
They didn't say anything before because there was no conflict of interest. But now, Nangong Yetian's actions have seriously violated their lives and safety.
Those secrets hidden deep in the heart will probably be revealed one after another.
"Nangong Yetian, return my parents' lives. They just didn't want to cook the books for you, so they were killed with a random excuse."
"Nangong Yetian, you are not worthy of being the clan leader. You have harmed countless people and are cruel and vicious. You are the one who deserves to die the most."
Poor elder brother, he became a victim of Nangong Yetian's struggle for power.
"My fellow tribesmen, the four elders are in cahoots with Nangong Yetian and are treating things unfairly. I have decided to rebel and no longer want to be controlled by them."
"I support you. If we rebel, I don't believe that we can't deal with them because we are outnumbered."
"It's a rebellion..."
In a short while, most members of the Nangong family raised the banner of rebellion and glared fiercely at the people on the platform.
The four elders all frowned and vented their dissatisfaction on Nangong Yetian.
"Nangong Yetian, you are the one who caused the public outrage. You have to clean up this mess by yourself. Don't expect us to do anything about it."
"Humph, damn it, stop trying to use it to hold us back. Almost everything our tribe members should and shouldn't have said has been revealed."
"That's right. The four of us only have one life. If you force us, the worst that can happen is that we all die together."
“You, you guys…” Nangong Ye was shaking all over with bloodshot eyes and gnashing teeth, “Okay, you guys are very good. When the time comes, you push me out to vent your anger. You guys are very good!”
As he spoke, Nangong Yetian looked crazy and couldn't stop laughing. He picked up the unconscious Huang Ju.
"Since you have teamed up to force me, don't blame me for going all out and exposing all the dirty deeds you have done."
"Hiss—" Huang Ju woke up slowly, looked at her body hanging in the air, and couldn't help screaming, "Ah, what happened to me? Nangong Yetian, put me down quickly, put me down!"
Nangong Yetian looked down at Huang Ju, his eyes full of resentment and disgust, "Madam, it's not that your husband doesn't want to let you go, but the four elders and these tribesmen want to force our family to death. They all want to rebel!"
"What?" Huang Ju was stunned for a moment, then his face was filled with horror, and then he became furious and shouted, "No, what right do they have to rebel?"
"Of course, why are you rebelling?" Nangong Yetian put Huang Ju down and patted her shoulder with his big hand. "Madam, do you have a way to control them?"
"I……"
Huang Ju looked hesitant and pursed his lips tightly.
