Chapter 362: It turns out to be a borrowed knife
Tang Bao's fingers gripping the armrest couldn't help but tighten, and a clear bluish-white color appeared at the joints.
The matter of Qingyun Academy should be settled!
"Go, invite the parents and brothers of those three bullies, as well as all the teachers and stewards of Qingyun Academy, all of them to me!"
"yes!"
The shadow guard took the order and left.
Xiao Qingye quickly stepped forward and gently pried her fingers apart, "Don't be so hard, your hand will hurt!"
Tang Bao: "..."
Thinking that her missing front teeth might damage her dignity, she took out the exquisite veil that her sister Chuntai had people sew for her overnight.
Before everyone arrived, she carefully covered half of her face, revealing only a pair of beautiful almond-shaped eyes.
Soon, dozens of relatives of the three dead little bullies came in large numbers!
Including the teachers and stewards of Qingyun Academy, the courtyard of Jiang Mansion was suddenly crowded with nearly a hundred people!
Everyone was whispering, unable to hide their anxiety.
Tang Bao didn't say why he asked them to come, he just asked them to wait in the yard.
She took Xiao Qingye and others to have dinner as usual.
Even the kneeling Jiang Lan was given a seat so that he would not go hungry.
Everyone in the courtyard knew that Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess was someone not to be trifled with, and they also guessed that there must be secret guards surrounding the courtyard...
So even though he was hungry and full of resentment... he could only keep his mouth shut and endure it, not daring to show any dissatisfaction, and stood there until it was dark.
Estimating that the time was almost up, Tang Bao led his men slowly out of the room.
At this moment, she caught a glimpse of her father who had arrived without her noticing when! ?
Just as she was about to speak, Yun Che, standing in the shadows of the corridor, gestured to her, indicating that she should continue with her own work and not pay any attention to him.
Seeing Tang Bao nod, he sat down in an inconspicuous corner.
"We pay our respects to Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess! May Her Royal Highness live a thousand years, a thousand thousand years!"
More than a hundred people in the yard knelt down and kowtowed.
Tang Bao did not ask them to stand up, but let them kneel.
She lowered her eyes, her gaze landing on Jiang Lan, who was also kneeling on the ground. Her childish voice was calm and unwavering: "Are you scared?"
Jiang Lan nodded at first, then shook his head firmly: "I did it, and I don't regret it. No matter what the punishment is, I will gladly face it."
Tang Bao nodded slightly, "Do you still remember the names of the three murderers who killed Wang Mian?"
"I remember," Jiang Lan said. "The smallest of them is Li Yuexun, the grandson of the Minister of Rites. The medium-sized one is Qin Shuo, the eldest grandson of Qin Ge Lao. The other one is Lang Cong, the son of the General of the Imperial Guards!"
The official whose name was called couldn't help but frown and his heartbeat accelerated instantly.
Why are you mentioning that kid named Wang Mian again out of the blue?
Isn’t it all over?
I wonder what Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess is up to next?!
Looking at the huge crowd of people, Tang Bao said no more and immediately made a hand gesture to set up a spiritual formation that covered the entire courtyard.
Suddenly, a cold wind blew up, and the four ghostly shadows that had been hovering in the Jiang family gradually solidified - it was Jiang Xiu and the three bullies who had harmed Wang Mian!
When a living person sees a ghost, he will all shrink in horror.
When they saw clearly that the ghost was actually their relative or student, there was a gasp and sob in the yard.
There really are ghosts in this world...!
The families of Li Yuexun, Qin Shuo, and Lang Cong couldn't help but call out their names over and over again...
The women cried and asked them: "Are you doing well down there? What do you need? When will you be reborn as a human being?"
Some even asked: How much paper money should I burn to bribe the ghost messenger and have a good rebirth in my next life?
Haha...that's ridiculous!
General Lang suppressed his fear and sternly asked his son, "Tell your father, how did you die? Who killed you? Your father will avenge you! The murderer will be torn into pieces!"
Suddenly, the ghost named Li Yuexun burst into tears and pointed at Jiang Lan, accusing him:
"It was him! He said Jiang Xiu had prepared gifts for us and invited us to meet at the deserted zoo... But he tricked us into going there and then locked the door!"
"He actually wanted to burn us alive!!"
Li Yuexun continued to wail incoherently, "Later... later he brought a lot of poisonous snakes and rats from somewhere and dumped them into the room, saying that only one of us could leave alive..."
"I'm the thinnest and smallest, and I couldn't beat them both, so... I teamed up with Qin Shuo to strangle Lang Cong first..."
The ghost named Qin Shuo immediately pointed at Li Yuexun and shouted, "He attacked me while I was examining Lang Cong's body, and that's why I died! Despicable and shameless... He and Jiang Lan both had a hand in my death!"
"I want their souls to be shattered! They will never be able to be reborn--!!"
Li Yuexun defiantly retorted, "But when we teamed up to get rid of Lang Cong, wasn't I injured too? I died a miserable death, okay? I was bitten by rats, scratched by wild cats, and finally strangled to death by a snake!"
“Wow… Do you know how scared I was at that time??”
Upon hearing this, the ghost Lang Cong suddenly pounced on Jiang Lan with a ferocious look on his face: "I will kill you! I will make sure you die a miserable death!"
Seeing that he missed, Li Yuexun suddenly sneered: "Idiot! Didn't you hear? Jiang Xiu played us for fools! He used a knife to kill someone, and he was the one who killed the three of us!"
Qin Shuo suddenly realized what was going on and pointed at the ghost Jiang Xiu. "I've been following him for so long, I've seen through him... He didn't just use us to kill Wang Mian. He also wanted to use our deaths to get rid of his brother Jiang Lan so he could monopolize the Jiang family fortune!"
The truth is revealed.
Seeing that they couldn't deal with Jiang Lan, the three evil ghosts united in hatred and pounced on the ghost Jiang Xiu, who was hiding in the corner and trying to reduce his presence, roaring and wanting to tear him to pieces.
Jiang Xiu was instantly terrified. He hid while shrieking in defense, "You're just stupid! Who can I blame?"
"Besides, I helped you deceive so many people and did so many things. Weren't you happy during those days?"
"It was Jiang Lan who planned to kill you! Not me! Not me—!!"
The three evil ghosts would never listen to his explanation...
They only knew that if Jiang Xiu had not plotted to kill Wang Mian, they would still be high and mighty young masters, enjoying an endless life of ease and comfort!
Under the crazy tearing of the three ghosts, the ghost Jiang Xiu soon let out an extremely shrill howl, and finally turned into a wisp of green smoke and dissipated.
Although half of the revenge was achieved, the three evil ghosts were still furious.
Because of their mutual resentment, they fought again as they did on the day of their death... Not long after, under the horrified gaze of everyone, their souls flew away one after another and completely disappeared between heaven and earth!
"My son!"
"ah!!!"
"ah--!!"
The yard was in chaos and the women burst into tears.
The lights in the courtyard flickered. An official, suppressing his grief and fear, knelt before Tang Bao and kowtowed, "Murder means death! I beg Your Highness the Crown Princess to intervene on behalf of my son and severely punish the murderer, Jiang Lan!"
Many others also banged their heads heavily on the ground:
"Live a thousand years, Her Royal Highness! I implore Her Royal Highness to redress the injustice done to the deceased and severely punish the murderer, Jiang Lan!"
