On the second day after Master Tianzang died, Dongfang had not yet turned white, but the news of the return of King Tang Pingfan spread to all sides.
Gathering in Hengcheng, a battle will shock the world!
The entire party was not disclosed, but many details were circulated in top circles.
After verifying the details, many powerful leaders felt very complicated.
To be honest, after two years of internal strife, the Tang Sect's strength has been greatly reduced, and it can barely stay at the bottom of the five major families relying on its capital.
In the eyes of many people, the Tang Sect would transform from a first-tier force to a second-tier force within a year at most.
Even if Tang Pingfan survives and the king returns, it will be difficult for him to make waves with the Tang Sect.
What future is there for an old man whose vitality was blown away by the Huangnijiang River and a dilapidated Tang Sect?
Moreover, it would be embarrassing for Tang Pingfan to come back and regain control of the Tang Sect.
Unexpectedly, Tang Pingfan just showed up in Hengcheng and hit a combination of punches that shocked the world.
Exposing Governor Kawaguchi's face, exposing Chen Yuanyuan's scheme, suppressing Secretary Jiang's betrayal, and killing Master Tianzang...
Tang Pingfan not only regained control of the Tang Clan with his absolute strength, but also established his coercion in one battle so that all forces dared not move.
In particular, his demeanor of forcing Tenzo to die without a single blow made many people feel his tyranny.
Who is better than me?
"This Old Tang, no, the head of Tang Sect, is really..."
Because of different standpoints and different interests, 10,000 people will have 10,000 opinions on some things.
But there are some things that are common to all human beings, just like gravel can never block the light of gold.
Tang Pingfan's tyranny once again won the consensus of all forces.
So many people who had robbed Tangmen's business and territory returned their things overnight.
Many of the forces who had bullied the nephews of Tangmen also went to Tangmen before dawn to plead guilty.
Those who had taken advantage of Tang Huangpu and Tang Scouts had also returned their profits in double amounts.
Those forces that worked with Chen Yuanyuan and Secretary Jiang to gain power even took it upon themselves to ask for forgiveness from the Tang Sect.
They all knew that if they didn't make amends now, they would be wiped out by themselves when Tang Pingfan freed up his hands.
Tang Pingfan even forced Master Tianzang to death, so how could they bear the consequences of Tang Pingfan's fall?
The nephew of Tang Men was proud and proud as never before.
The entire Tang sect also put on lanterns and streamers and slaughtered pigs and sheep to celebrate Tang Pingfan's return.
While all parties and the Tang Sect were busy preparing for Tang Pingfan's return, Tang Pingfan was fishing at the Hengcheng Seaview Villa.
Ye Fan and Song Hongyan were by his side.
They all knew that Tang Pingfan would return to Longdu soon, and there would be days of gatherings and separations.
So the two decided to spend these two days together.
"Dad, when did you come back?"
Song Hongyan poured Tang Pingfan a cup of ginseng oolong tea: "Have you been hiding for half a year, or a year?"
When Tang Pingfan heard this, he looked away from the sea, looked at Song Hongyan and Ye Fan and smiled softly:
"A year and a half."
"When the Huangni River exploded, I basically fainted on the spot."
"I felt like I was dead at that time, but I didn't expect that when I woke up again, I found that I was rescued by an ocean-going fishing boat."
"It's just that I hit my head, my speech was slurred, my left leg was broken, and three ribs were broken."
"But the people on the fishing boat were kind enough to take me in to recuperate on the boat."
"I wanted to come back early to take charge of the overall situation, but I couldn't express myself at the time, let alone make a phone call. I couldn't even say my name."
"And the fishing boats are busy fishing during the peak season. I'm worried that I will be thrown into the sea to feed the fish because of too many things."
"So I followed this fishing boat overseas for a few months."
"When the offshore fishing boat returns to China and I can speak fluently, I will try to contact Tang Shi'er and the others."
Tang Pingfan calmly talked about his original experience.
The wind was light and the clouds were light, but both Ye Fan and Song Hongyan could feel the thrill.
It is definitely not the kindness of the people on board that an inarticulate cripple can stay on a fishing boat for several months.
However, Tang Pingfan did not explain in detail, and Song Hongyan and Ye Fan did not explore it.
"Dad, you're back, you should show up as soon as possible."
Song Hongyan muttered: "This will make Mark and I worry less, and it will also help the Tang Sect reduce internal friction."
Tang Pingfan picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip and said with a kind smile:
"When I just woke up after falling into the river, I was really anxious to come back as soon as possible."
"But after I followed the fishing boat in a circle, I found that I was no longer there and the Tang Gate did not collapse."
"That made me decide to stay in the dark."
"One wants to take a look at Tang Clan's loyal ministers and Xiaoxiao."
"When I was there, authority and iron-clad control made it difficult to discern people's hearts."
"With me gone, their true colors will be revealed easily, which will give me a clearer understanding of the Tang Sect."
"The second one is that I hid in the dark to find out the mastermind behind the Huangnijiang explosion."
"The other party has brought up such a big case in Huangnijiang and caused such great losses to the five families. They will definitely pursue the victory and continue to cause trouble."
"The mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole follows, but what I want to do is a slingshot."
"The facts have also allowed me to lock in some clues and people that you two have not locked in."
"There is another reason why I have been hiding and not coming out, and that is to deliberately indulge in the internal reshuffle of the Tang Sect."
"That's right, I need the Tang Sect's blood to flow like a river."
"The Tang Sect is too big and too entrenched. I have long wanted to operate on my own people. I want to chop off the bloated branches and leaves, and I want to chop off the old officials."
"I have long hoped that the Tang Sect would be a Tang Sect with mainly nephews and nephews under the age of thirty-five."
"Only in this way will the Tang Sect not become too big and the Tang Sect will not be burdened by old ministers."
"Only in this way will the Tang Sect appear efficient and energetic."
"But I've always been reluctant to do it."
"Now that I have fallen into the river and disappeared, I can hide in the dark and watch the internal strife of the Tang Sect without any psychological pressure."
"Of course, I will always protect the foundation of Tang Sect."
Speaking of this, Tang Pingfan looked at Ye Fan and Song Hongyan and smiled bitterly: "Do you think dad is cold-blooded?"
Song Hongyan said softly: "Dad, I can't blame you. This is what the leader of the family should do."
Ye Fan did not say anything, but remembered the explanation given by the old man in black at the Xia Palace.
His explanation at that time was almost consistent with what Tang Pingfan said now, which shows that the other party knew Tang Pingfan very well.
Song Hongyan asked further: "Dad, when you chose to show up last night, were you prepared to use Tianzang as a stepping stone?"
Tang Pingfan raised his head slightly, his eyes thoughtful:
"Honestly, I'm not here purely for Master Tianzang."
"What I really want to block is a catfish..."
"Although Master Tianzang is a huge fish, he is actually just a pawn being plotted."
Tang Pingfan sighed: "This game is not really over yet."
Song Hongyan was stunned: "Is there someone else behind Master Tianzang? Are you talking about the Lord of the Yang Kingdom?"
"No!"
Tang Pingfan shook his head gently: "He is a person who can take advantage of the situation like me..."
Ye Fan's heart moved and he was about to speak when he saw Tang Shi'er striding over:
"Brother, Secretary Jiang took poison and committed suicide first, but I have asked the spies to track her down."
"If the estimate is correct, 99% of the time she is related to the catfish we want to catch."
"Chen Yuanyuan did not choose to commit suicide. I have arranged for someone to send her back to Longdu Pagoda and we will deal with it after you return."
"I dug out and killed all the chessmen of the Yang Kingdom who had infiltrated into Hengcheng and Longdu, as well as the forces bribed by them."
"More than a hundred veterans of the Tang Sect who strongly support Chen Yuanyuan's rise to power are kneeling in the ancestral hall waiting for your punishment."
"All the remaining gold in Wuyi Lane has been paid off, and the things the Four King Kongs want will be delivered tomorrow."
"Master Tianzang's body has also been recovered and can be returned at any time."
"Everyone in the Tang Clan is decorated with lanterns, slaughtering cattle and sheep, preparing to help you, big brother."
"By the way, Mr. Wang and Mr. Zheng asked you when you would go back and wanted to have a pig-killing meal with you."
Tang Shi'er briefly described a series of events to Tang Pingfan, and also pointed out that the Tang Sect was once again on the rise.
Tang Pingfan's face remained calm: "You have full authority to handle these trivial matters."
"As for Wang Baoguo's dinner, tell them to wait for a few days."
"I've been wandering outside for so long, and I'm a bit dissatisfied with Longdu. Let me take a break."
"In addition, Master Tianzang's body should not be transported back. It should be buried in Hengcheng Cemetery."
Tang Pingfan said calmly: "This can make the people of Yang country less spiritual totems."
Tang Shi'er responded respectfully: "Understood!"
Song Hongyan asked softly: "Dad, when will you go back?"
Although she also wanted to spend a few more days with Tang Pingfan, she also knew that he should be in charge of Longdu at this time.
Only by returning to the base camp can Tang Pingfan give full play to the Dinghai Shenzhen needle, otherwise there will definitely be a lot of trouble.
There may even be danger.
Tang Pingfan looked at Ye Fan and Song Hongyan and smiled:
“I definitely have to go back, but I’m not in a hurry.”
"I'm going to wait a little longer, there's still one fish that hasn't been hooked..."
He pointed at the fishing rod with his finger: "If you don't catch it cleanly, it will easily cause harm."
At the same moment, thousands of miles away in the country of Rui, there was the Ironwood Castle.
Temu Cihua looked at the intelligence from Hengcheng with a livid face.
He held several pieces of information in his hand, kneaded and opened them, opened them and crumpled them into balls again, seeming to be very entangled.
After a long time, the phone on his desk vibrated.
Temu Cihua picked it up and answered it. After a moment, he slapped the table and shouted:
"Come here, call me the reporters from Goddess Times and Liberty Evening News."
"I want to expose Old A's true identity!"
