Chapter 99: A Visitor from the Provincial Court
“Needless to say, no matter where the Six Gates branch or branch is located, the Blood Killing Hall is the most powerful one.
It is said that the one-armed nun loves this last disciple very much. Every month, she would divide out half a year's worth of her own power and use the "Kai Ding Da Fa" to force-feed Feng Jiuxue.
Therefore, over the past ten years, Fang Jiuxue has gained more than half a century of skills.
Add to that the skills she has gained through her own practice, and it's incredible, equivalent to the skills of a fifty-year-old warrior." Fang Qiang said.
"Then she is at least fifth rank." Luo Qing said.
"Fifth rank is shit! Is a fifth rank qualified to sit on the position of deputy head of the Blood Killing Hall of the Sea Saint Six Fans Division?" Fang Qiang snorted.
“That’s right, One-Armed God Niko is a martial arts master and is very famous in the martial arts world.
She taught several disciples, each of them was extraordinary.
Feng Jiuxue is her last disciple, so she must be even more extraordinary." Fang Jindong nodded.
"This time, I'm going to get rid of the Tang family thoroughly. Including that Chen Changkong, make him get out." Fang Qiang said.
Now that Chibafang was taken back, Tang Wen instructed Bu Feng to start recruiting people to carry out a comprehensive cleanup and prepare to start construction of the building.
According to Tang Wen's idea, a three-story reinforced concrete building would be constructed, with most of it used as shops and a bank in the middle. The entertainment club in the park would be the next step in the development.
Tang Wen wants to turn it into Tang’s Sumei Entertainment City, which integrates leisure, entertainment and shops, a bit similar to Wanda in modern society.
Of course, the population of Yanling City is only about 100,000, and the spending power is not very strong, so it cannot be too big.
The large-scale shopping mall will remain in Jiangzhou, the provincial capital, which has a population of over a million and much stronger spending power.
However, it has to be crossed once more before full construction can begin.
Go back to Yunhai City and buy another batch of steel bars and cement and put them directly in Qianyefang to avoid having to transport them from Koh Samui, which would be too troublesome.
At 1:30 in the afternoon, Chen Changkong sent someone to invite Tang Wen over.
After entering the lobby, I found a dark middle-aged man sitting there. Isn't he an African black man?
How come there are black people in Chu State?
"Your Excellency, this is Senior Mo, the deputy head of our provincial hall." Chen Changkong introduced.
"What senior or not, my name is Mo Heizi." Mo Heizi said wildly, full of bandit spirit. However, Tang Wen stood straight and looked at him.
"Damn it, why are you staring at me with your eyes wide open?" Mo Heizi was so angry that he slammed the gavel and shouted fiercely at Tang Wen.
"Lord Mo, do you have a title?" Tang Wen asked calmly, looking at him without any fear.
"What's the point of a title?" Mo Heizi blurted out, then he turned his eyes and pointed at Tang Wen and said, "I understand, you think you are an earl, so you are waiting for me to pay you respect first, right?"
"This is the royal rule, not something I, Tang Wen, set. Although Lord Mo holds a high position, you are not qualified to break the royal rule," said Tang Wen.
"Good boy, are you going to command our army? Do you know what the Six Gates are?" Mo Heizi asked coldly.
"I don't know." Tang Wen shook his head.
"All the disciples of the Six Gates are disciples of the Son of Heaven. Do you understand what the term 'disciples of the Son of Heaven' means? They are disciples of the monarch." Mo Heizi said.
"Haha, to put it bluntly, the king's followers are just the king's slaves. But I, Tang Wen, am a noble of the Chu State. Logically speaking, I am the king's clansman and relative, and your master." Tang Wen said with a smile.
"You..." Mo Heizi was choked, his eyes widened and he couldn't speak.
Finally, he stood up helplessly, clasped his fist towards Tang Wen and said, "Mo Heizi greets Lord Earl."
"No thanks. I don't like this kind of red tape either. It's better to just get it over with." Tang Wen returned the salute and said with a smile.
"Okay, let's talk business. Someone, bring a chair for my lord." Mo Heizi sat down again, but compared to before, he was much more polite to Tang Wen.
His men brought over a throne, and Tang Wen sat down facing Mo Heizi without any hesitation.
"I heard that Kang Qingfeng framed one of your men because of the Chibafang incident?" Mo Heizi asked.
"Indeed, Fang Qiang of the Fang family is indebted to Kang Qingfeng.
Fang Qiang wanted to bargain for Qianyefang, so he started to target me after I showed up.
As a result, Kang Qingfeng arrested my servant Qiao Xiao and tried to force me to withdraw." Tang Wen replied.
"Later, Kang Qingfeng wanted to forcibly seize Qianyefang, and your hatred for him seemed to be getting deeper and deeper." Mo Heizi stared at Tang Wendao with cold eyes.
"It is true. Kang Qingfeng has not let me go, and he wants to occupy my Qianyefang. This is simply too much. Of course I hate him." Tang Wen nodded.
"When Kang Qingfeng asked you to go to the execution ground to collect Qiao Xiao's body, you even threatened to kill him, right?" Mo Heizi asked.
"My subordinates said so." Tang Wen said.
"You have the same idea, right?" Mo Heizi asked.
"It's a pity that I am just a weak scholar. Although I have the title of Juren, I am powerless. Otherwise, I really want to kill him. Because Kang Qingfeng is too despicable and hateful, he is a disgrace to the court." Tang Wen replied.
“As soon as you said this, Kang Qingfeng was killed by your men the next day.
Haha, are things in the world so coincidental?
Kang Qingfeng was nothing before, how come he suddenly became a traitor?" Mo Heizi sneered.
"I don't know the details about that. Kang Qingfeng took out his musket and tried to kill Lord Chen and Yang Yun, but my men succeeded in a surprise attack.
Otherwise, Lord Chen and Lord Yang would probably have died at his hands.
In order to save people, my men also took urgent measures.
She killed the traitors and helped you get rid of the traitors, so you should thank me." Tang Wen said.
"Whether Kang Qingfeng is colluding with Chu Hong has not been determined yet and needs to be investigated. What makes you say he is a traitor?" Mo Heizi sneered.
"At that time, Lord Chen said he would investigate, but Kang Qingfeng felt guilty and was about to run away.
Of course, Lord Chen would not let a traitor escape, so he immediately rushed forward to stop them and wanted to arrest Kang Qingfeng for investigation.
But Kang Qingfeng refused and wanted to kill Lord Chen instead. At that time, he had already injured several disciples of the Six Gates.
Lord Chen also made great contributions to the court in getting rid of harm." Tang Wen said.
"That thief Kang Qingfeng was well prepared, he injured many of us , and even tried to kill us with a musket. His crimes are so heinous, he deserves death.
Fortunately, it was discovered early, otherwise, if he really took the position of helmsman and colluded with the rebels for a long time, the three prefectures of Yanling would be in chaos.
By then, I'm afraid it will lead to even bigger trouble.
This man deserves to be killed." Chen Changkong said.
"How outrageous! This is simply a frame-up by Tang Wen.
Tang Wen, do you think I don’t know?
Hurry up and confess the truth, and we may consider giving you a lighter sentence." Mo Heizi slammed the gavel and shouted sternly.
"I just said that I really want Kang Qingfeng to die, he is so hateful.
However, I want to, but I don’t have the ability to kill him?
Lord Mo, you said I framed him, do you have any evidence?
There is no evidence, according to the laws of the Great Chu, you are slandering me." Tang Wen said.
"It seems that you won't confess without torture. Come, torture me!" Mo Heizi slammed the table and shouted.
"Mo Heizi, you are so bold! I am a member of the royal family of the Chu State. What qualifications do you have to torture me without any evidence?" Tang Wen asked sternly.
"Just because I'm a disciple of the Six Gates and a disciple of the Emperor, do I need a reason to interrogate and torture me?" Mo Heizi said with contempt.
"I am a relative of the emperor. You, a dog slave, are so bold that you dare to attack your master." Tang Wen was furious. He stood up and pointed at Mo Heizi angrily.
"Come here, torture him!" Mo Heizi was determined, and immediately, several of his men came forward with iron shackles.
