Riding the Pheonix Chapter 687: Accusation

On behalf of the Duke's Mansion.

Mrs. Tang fainted when she heard the news of her eldest son's death.

Madam Tang still didn’t believe it and asked the person who came to report the news: "How is it possible? The Duke of Guo was fine before, so why is he gone?"

The guard said sadly: "The Holy One was doing evil things in the palace. The Duke got the news and entered the palace to stop him. Who would have thought that he would have fallen into their trap and asked the traitor to shoot an arrow in the chest..."

Mrs. Tang’s eyes were straight and she was shaking.

After Tang Jing left, the Duke Dai's mansion didn't have a rest all night. Guards came in and out, and there were all the guests. How could Mrs. Tang not know this? She is the mistress, and she has to manage the affairs of the house. So she knew very well that something was terribly wrong.

However, after being married to Tang Jing for many years, she was too accustomed to the power of the Tang family.

Although her husband is not the emperor, the power in his hands is no less than that of the emperor.

In Nanchu, no one could defeat him, and in the end they had no choice but to surrender in front of him.

Who would have thought that in just one night, the husband who had just had a quarrel last night would be gone.

"The second young master is back, the second young master is back!" A servant's shout came from outside.

Mrs. Tang reluctantly cheered up and stepped forward to greet her.

Halfway through, she stopped.

Surrounded by guards, Tang Shao came in from the outside with a man on his back.

He was covered in blood, and so was the man on his back.

He walked to the middle hall and slowly put the man down.

Mrs. Tang trembled her lips: "Master!" She shouted sternly and rushed forward.

The former majestic Duke Tang Jing was now extremely desolate.

When he went out in the middle of the night, he was wearing regular clothes. After a fierce fight, how could he still remain intact? Especially in his chest, half of a crossbow arrow was stuck. His clothes were torn, his hair was messed up, his body and face were all covered in blood, and his original appearance was completely unrecognizable.

The more Mrs. Tang looked at it, the more she became more and more sad, sobbing bitterly.

If I had known he would never come back, I wouldn't have quarreled with him. If I had known that today was the day of his death, I would never have asked him to go out.

Who could have known before it happened?

Tang Shao put his father down and knelt aside without saying a word.

Tang Xi could only distract himself to comfort: "Sister-in-law, please express my condolences. My eldest brother has passed away, but there are still many unfinished things. Now we..."

Before he finished his sentence, Mrs. Tang raised her head and looked at him fiercely: "How did he die? Master, how did he die?"

Tang Xi lowered his head and replied: "The Holy One found a group of monsters from nowhere. Brother was unprepared and didn't have enough people, so..."

"Who was by his side at that time? Were you?" Mrs. Tang grabbed Tang Shao's collar, received his nod, and said sternly, "Then why didn't you protect him? Why didn't you die for him? ! Are you thinking that you can fight for power after your father dies? I should not have allowed you to be born in the first place!"

Mrs. Tang’s extremely well-maintained face was extremely distorted at this time. Her eyes were filled with deep hatred, glaring at Tang Shao, and she was overwhelming him with every accusation.

Tang Xi quickly went to pull her: "Sister-in-law! How can you blame Erlang for this? You see, he himself was injured. It will not be easy for him to come back alive!"

"But he is alive and his father is dead, isn't it true?"

No matter how eloquent Tang Xi was, he had nothing to say at this time. No amount of reasoning is needed to persuade a woman who has lost her husband and talks incoherently!

What happened to Mrs. Tang? She scolded him a few times and cried over Tang Jing's body for a while, and then with Tang Xi's comfort, she cleaned up Tang Jing's body.

Tang Xi pulled Tang Shao up and handled the remaining matters.

"The girl has disappeared." Taoist priest Jin came in and said, "It seems that Young Master Yang is really her accomplice."

Tang Xi frowned and looked back at yesterday: "So, it was intentional that they passed the test of Master Ignorance at the same time?"

Taoist Master Jin stroked his beard and said: "She is really powerful. I thought she was honest! I didn't expect she has such a skill."

Tang Xi regretted so much that he murmured: "I thought...it's because I don't know people well. Their purpose is clearly to cause us to have civil strife. Shoot the eldest brother to death with one arrow. No one in Chu State can suppress this." The situation. When it becomes such a mess, they take advantage of it."

Taoist Master Jin didn't want to get involved in the matter between the two countries, so he didn't say anything.

Madam Tang over there heard it, but asked: "Are you talking about Miss Mingqi?"

Of course she already knew that Mingwei was missing.

"Yes."

"The master's death has something to do with her?"

Tang Xi nodded helplessly: "Yes."

Mrs. Tang sneered and looked at Tang Shao: "It's you again. If you hadn't allowed her to stay in the Tang family, how could this misfortune have happened to me? How dare you say now that it had nothing to do with you?!"

Tang Shao lowered his head and said nothing. When Mrs. Tang asked him this question, he raised his head and nodded with a pale face: "Yes, it's me. Blame me for leaving her here, blame me for bringing her to Kyoto, it's all my fault. ..."

Although there were no tears in his eyes, his expression at this time was even sadder than with tears in his eyes.

But how could Mrs. Tang care? She finally had an outlet for her unexpected anger, and she did not hesitate to vent it on Tang Shao.

"You are the source of disaster and disaster! I should have known I wouldn't be able to keep you! Look at the good things you have done, bringing trouble to my family all day long. Two months ago, you made your hometown uneasy, and then you came to Kyoto to kill you. Father! Do you think I can’t see that you love that woman in your heart and wish you could keep her here! Now, is this going to cause trouble? You are an accomplice and a patricide!”

Madame Tang didn't care about his face at all. The guards and servants were crowded, so she shouted out without any scruples.

Tang Shao's face became increasingly pale. ~IndoMTL.com~ Wen Xiuyi had just come back and heard these words. She couldn't help but rush over to defend him: "Madam, this is an accident. How can it become senior brother's business..."

"Go away! Is there any place for you to talk here?"

Wen Xiuyi was stunned, lowered her head and bit her lip, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

Taoist Master Jin frowned and said, "Madam, you are so unreasonable. Miss Ming Qi came to Kyoto, which was agreed upon by Master Shi and the old lady. How could it be Tang Er's fault? Besides, she Do you know who she is? Even if Tang Er doesn't take her with him, she can still come if she wants to. You don't hate the person who killed the Duke, but you are angry with Tang Er..."

Mrs. Tang sneered and did not argue with him at all. She only asked Tang Xi: "When will anyone be able to point fingers at the affairs of our acting Duke's office?"

Tang Xi sighed and gave Taoist Master Jin a pleading look.

Taoist Master Jin could only hold back his words.

Come on, why is he competing with a widowed woman? People are grieving, so don't be unreasonable.

Mrs. Tang wanted to say more, but there were chaotic footsteps outside.

"Second Master and Third Master are here..."

Tang Xi was stunned, lowered his voice, and said quickly to Mrs. Tang: "Sister-in-law, you must not accuse Erlang anymore. Otherwise, the second brother and the third brother will definitely take the opportunity to cause trouble and put the blame on Erlang. Wait. I must say good things about Erlang later, saying that he took the risk to enter the palace and snatched the body of his eldest brother, you know?"

Mrs. Tang was still angry: "Why should I speak for him?"

Tang Xi sighed: "If Erlang is suppressed, the real power of the Duke's Mansion will be taken away by them. When Da Lang comes back, there will be no way to save him!"

After hearing him mention Dalang, Mrs. Tang stopped and nodded reluctantly.
