Someone tried to persuade her, "Master Tang, this is a life after all. We are from the same village. If you can help her, please help her."
Tang Shiyue suddenly raised his head and looked at her directly: "Who are you? Which family are you from?"
The woman was so scared that she shook her hands and said, "I was wrong. I won't say it again!" and quickly retreated into the crowd.
"Don't go!" Tang Shiyue said coldly: "Aren't you going to help people? Keep helping! You have come forward to say this, how can you just leave after saying it?" She stared at her closely: "I remember your husband is in the wine shop? He just got paid before the New Year? How about your family pay a hundred taels?"
The woman's face turned pale and she dared not say a word.
Tang Shiyue sneered and looked around at everyone: "If you want to help, do it yourself, no one can stop you. If you don't have anything, you can just stand there and ask others to help you. It's not generosity to be generous to others, it's meanness."
She paused and said, "In this big world, there are poor people who can't even get enough to eat, and there are also rich people who are as wealthy as a country. Everyone lives his own life, and no one has to help anyone else. Don't always use the standards of a saint to demand others, and the standards of a mean person to demand yourself. You always make a fuss about everything, and still think you are speaking for justice."
She snorted, "Stupid."
She said it without mercy.
Someone couldn't help but say, "Before Mr. Tang opened the wine shop, my family didn't eat any meat for a month or so, and my child cried from hunger at night, but no one came to help me!"
...
...
"That's right! We are not related, so who should help whom?"
"Master Tang was kind enough to protect the people of Yuefang, and she didn't even care about passing her skills outside. And you treated her like this?"
"Don't take advantage of others because they are kind and righteous! Don't take advantage of them!"
"They are all so conscienceless! All kinds of shit are coming out!"
Tang Shiyue's eyes swept over the Zhu family members one by one.
In her opinion, except for Zhu Xiaohong's mother who was genuinely sad, the eyes of the others in the Zhu family were flickering, and that feeling seemed to be... fear?
Tang Shiyue always had a bad feeling, so he turned around and left without saying anything more.
The crowd automatically made way for her like Moses parting the sea. Just as she walked under a locust tree, she heard everyone gasp and several people screamed, "Be careful!"
Tang Shiyue turned around suddenly!
A man in black jumped down from the tree, with a flash of cold light, and stabbed with a sword...
The speed was too fast and she had no time to dodge.
Amid the exclamations of the crowd, there was a sudden loud cracking sound, and the entire sky suddenly lit up. The next moment, a huge thunderbolt struck from the sky. Right in front of everyone's eyes, at the critical moment...
It hit the man in black right on the head!!!
The whole place was dead silent.
Everyone's eyes widened in astonishment as they watched the man fall to the ground with his body charred black. His whole body was convulsing and twitching, and soon he was motionless.
The centuries-old locust tree was also affected by the lightning, half of it was blackened, and it slowly burned...
There was another loud thunder, and dense raindrops fell one after another.
It was as if everything in front of him was played in slow motion. Only then did someone wake up from a dream and kneel down with a bang: "Empress Fu..."
Everyone knelt down in groups, their voices trembling: "Empress Fu..."
Qing Weiliao suddenly jumped over and looked at her, wanting to help her but not daring to, with an expression that looked a little incredulous.
People of this era have great respect and fear for thunder and lightning. Being struck by lightning is definitely a symbol of great evil.
But at this moment, under the attention of so many people, this person wanted to assassinate Tang Shiyue, and then was struck to death by lightning on the spot... Even Tang Shiyue himself found it a little unbelievable.
Although she has always been a walking cheat, she has never been so mysterious!
Tang Shiyue went back to take a bath, drinking ginger and jujube tea. Looking at the awe-inspiring eyes of these people, she held her forehead helplessly: "It's just a coincidence! Look, I got caught in the rain just like you guys."
Xia Yuhui said: "Why haven't we ever met by chance? Why do we always meet by chance with you? If you really are a fairy, just tell me."
Tang Shiyue rolled her eyes at him and said, "You said I was a fairy again and you talked back to me like this. Aren't you afraid that I will curse you to become uglier and uglier?"
"Empress Fu," Xia Yuhui said with a smile, "If I flatter you every day, can you make my arms grow again?"
The two of them chatted for a while, and everyone relaxed. Tang Shiyue asked, "Finally, is that person dead?"
"Dead," Qing Weiliao said in a deep voice, "It was my negligence. There were two other people that day, who should have been in the same group as them. They seemed to be frightened and did not take action. They have left now."
She then asked: "Did Zhu Xiaohong hang herself, or was it related to these people?"
"He hanged himself," Qing Weiliao said with certainty, "A day had passed between them, and I even went to see the body in secret. They should just be using the Zhu family to create chaos."
Tang Shiyue nodded and said thoughtfully: "Although I have offended many people, there are not many who are so serious as to assassinate me, and their level is so high..." She said to him: "In the end, don't conflict with these people, and don't follow them. Just tell me if you find them. I will write a letter to Yandong."
Qing Weiliao responded in a low voice.
There were so many people present at the time, and the plot was so mysterious, that the news spread like a plague.
Because two lives were involved, the head of the village reported the case to the authorities, and even Magistrate Lin came in person. The coroner examined the bodies and inspected the tree, and with the testimonies of nearly a hundred villagers, the evidence was irrefutable and beyond doubt.
County Magistrate Lin also wrote a memorial for this matter, which was published as a local anecdote, and he wrote a lot of details in a very eloquent manner.
One day, when Tang Shiyue went out, she found someone offering sacrifices at the door. She silently retracted her foot, leaned against the door, and asked the heaven in silence.
She didn't reject miracles, but now was not the right time! She didn't want to attract attention so early.
You have to know that this is the ancient times when "the whole world obeys one person"! The people have no human rights at all, and they have no power to protect themselves, but this kind of "auspicious sign" that is protected by heaven has happened. Any word from any superior, even... What if the emperor has an idea and asks her to enter the palace? Wouldn't she be suffocated to death?
Emperor Ming Yan did see this memorial.
In fact, there would always be "auspicious signs" on the desk of any emperor. No matter whether they were true or false, someone would always come up with one every now and then. Emperor Ming Yan was a pragmatic person and never cared much about it.
But Tang Shiyue was still an acquaintance! A living one! Naturally, it was different.
Magistrate Lin's memorial was written in great detail, covering the entire incident, cause and effect, every word of Tang Shiyue, and even the appearance of the corpse and tree that were struck by lightning.
He held it in his hand and pondered for a while, then asked someone to call the prince over: "Did Xiao Fu Niang write you a letter?"
The prince said, "I just received it, and my son hasn't had time to read it yet."
Emperor Mingyan held out his hand: "Bring it here."
The prince gave him the letter, and then Emperor Mingyan took a look and found that it had indeed not been opened. It was written on it that Sheng Qishou would forward to Yandong.
On the one hand, he felt that the prince was so old and had no calculations. He didn't know what was written in the letter, but he dared to ask him to read it. On the other hand, he felt very comfortable with this unhesitating attitude. He looked at him and said, "Gu Jiuxing."
Gu Jiuxing came up quickly, "The servant is here."
"I'll serve your Highness the Crown Prince a cup of the tea I mentioned this morning."
"yes!"
"Thank you, Father."
Emperor Ming Yan nodded, then opened the letter and read it.
The handwriting is as ugly as ever.
She also wrote about this incident, but in her words, it was just a coincidence, and she complained again and again. After this incident, everyone thought she was a lucky lady, so she had to start paying attention to her image, she couldn't stay in bed anymore, she had to comb her hair and wash her face every time she went out, and she couldn't just put on clothes casually and go out, she had to wear nice clothes and so on.
Very comfortable, yet a little childish, filled with the helplessness of a poor man who suddenly becomes rich.
For some reason, Emperor Ming Yan felt as if a breeze had blown away the fog. He smiled and gave the letter to the crown prince, and also showed him the memorial from County Magistrate Lin.
The prince quickly finished reading it and felt a little depressed.
He knew without thinking that this matter was related to his good brother!
The cotton and the tread plow were all provided by her, but all the credit was attributed to him. His father had kept him by his side these days, and the third prince could no longer sit still.
Emperor Mingyan asked: "How do you think this matter should be handled?"
