A wedding without the bride and groom loses the true theme of the wedding.
If there is no real theme, then there will naturally be other themes.
For example, trial.
It was almost noon, but the newcomer still hadn't appeared, and the people in the Tang Sect were behaving a little abnormally. The fifth line already felt that his hunch seemed to be correct. Other guests were also aware of this, because no one had seen the bride and groom since the morning, which was an abnormality in itself.
The banquet was also prepared, but the couple still did not show up, so the wedding was delayed in starting. Some grumpy guests were impatient with the wait.
"Why hasn't the wedding started yet?"
"Why doesn't the groom come out? Is he still sucking milk in my mother's arms?"
…
People in the world of martial arts are all reckless men, and some of them have spoken in a very unpleasant way. Tang Mugong and his son looked very embarrassed. They were waiting for the last group of disciples who went out to look for people to come back. If they still can't find anyone, there's nothing they can do.
The last group of disciples came back soon, but still found nothing.
Tang Mugong had no choice but to face the guests at the banquet and said: "Dear heroes, my grandson and grandson's wife are delayed by something today. The wedding can only be postponed for a few days. I hope you will bear with me."
Many people were already a little unhappy, but after all, Tang Mugong was a highly respected tycoon, so not many people dared to confront him. But not everyone dares, because some people are just looking for trouble. Fan Yun is such a person. Tang Sect didn't send him a wedding invitation at all, but he still came, but for another thing.
Fan Yun saw that the time was ripe, so he took the opportunity to ask: "Since the wedding has been postponed, and heroes from all walks of life are here, our family has a few important things to say. I want to ask the Tang Sect Master in person. I wonder if it is possible. ?”
Tang Mugong said: "Eunuch Fan, please speak."
Fan Yundao: "I believe everyone knows that a shocking robbery occurred in Qingju Mountain not long ago, and 1.5 million disaster relief officials were robbed. Because of this, tens of thousands of people in Huguang may starve to death. Qingju The mountain is the Tang Sect’s sphere of influence, shouldn’t the Tang Sect’s leader give everyone a satisfactory explanation for this matter?”
The words finally got to the point, and what many people wanted to see finally came.
Tang Mugong replied: "Tang has sent people to investigate this matter, and has also found some clues. I believe the truth will be revealed soon."
Fan Yun sneered and said: "Found some clues? Our family also found some clues. I wonder if the Tang Sect Master is interested in knowing?"
Tang Mugong said: "Tell me and listen."
"Song Jin, the officer escorting Guanyin, caught a robber at the time of the incident. According to the robber's confession, he is a disciple of your Tang Sect, and his master is Tang Siji Tang Daxia. This, the leader of the Tang Sect How to explain it?"
Before Tang Mugong could say anything, Tang Siji took the lead and said angrily: "You are spitting blood."
Fan Yun said: "Don't be anxious, Master Tang. We have in our hands the official document signed by the prisoner Hong Fei. This is the proof. Not only that, our family lent Hong Fei to the fifth young hero. What happened next, Let the fifth young hero tell you!"
In the fifth line, he did not expect that Fan Yun would suddenly turn the topic to himself, but now that the matter had come to this, he could only say: "Hong Fei was poisoned by an unknown person at the Taigong's house in Songshu Poxiang, and he is still unconscious to this day."
Fan Yun shook his head and said: "Fifth Young Hero, it seems that you have missed the point. You haven't said who is most likely to poison the prisoner Hong Fei, and what kind of poison was Hong Fei?"
The fifth line couldn't be avoided. Although he still had many doubts about the matter, he still said: "When we found out that Hong Fei was poisoned, Tang Daxia happened to be at the scene, and it was because Hong Fei swallowed a whole bag of Tang Men Qinghou Powder, which is why he was poisoned and fell into coma. Before Hong Fei was poisoned and fell into coma, he bit his finger and wrote two words on the wall, one of which was the word 'Mu'."
Fan Yun asked: "What about the other word?"
The fifth line answered: "The other word was not finished. Hong Fei only clicked a little, and then he had no strength to write it down."
Fan Yun continued: "If you add the word 'mu' a little bit, what do the Fifth Young Heroes think it will be? And what do the heroes here think it will be?"
Everyone thought about it and knew the answer in a moment, but no one dared to say it because no one wanted to offend the Tang Clan, one of the four major families.
"It's the word 'Mugong'." But some people who were bold and not afraid of death still said it.
For a moment, everyone was in an uproar, and almost everyone was blaming Tang Clan. Even though Tang Mugong had been in the world for a long time, he didn't know how to answer for a while, and Tang Siji was also at a loss for words.
Fan Yun took the opportunity to ask: "Tang Daxia, don't you explain these things?"
Tang Siji knew that even if he jumped into the Yellow River, he would not be able to clean himself up, and the Tang Sect's century-old reputation would most likely be destroyed because of him. He couldn't deny that many of what the fifth line and Fan Yun said were true; he couldn't explain why he happened to be at the scene when Hong Fei was poisoned.
His mind was confused, but his consciousness was still clear. There was now a flood of accusations and curses in front of him, but he did not offer any explanation. He didn't give an explanation because he made a bold decision. He is a disciple of the Tang Sect, and he has the power to maintain the reputation of the Tang Sect.
If I don’t enter the earth and reap the rewards, who will?
A good man always dares to take responsibility. Although some responsibilities are not his, he will still stand up and take them if necessary.
Tang Siji didn't care about being a sinner, he was just afraid that the Tang family would be implicated because of him, and he was even more afraid that his father would ruin his reputation because of him at an early age.
He loves Tangmen.
He also loves his father.
That's why he made this decision.
"That's right. All of this was done by me and has nothing to do with my father or the Tang Clan. It was because I was greedy for a moment, so I took the official silver privately. My father and the Tang Clan's children didn't know this at all. There were no other Tang Sect children involved in the incident. The people involved in the case were all friends I knew in the world. All consequences of the incident will be borne by Tang Siji alone. I hope everyone will not vent their anger on the Tang Sect and my father." Tang Sijilang said. said.
Tang Mugong knew his son very well, and he simply did not believe that Tang Siji would do such a thing. He didn't understand why his son didn't say a word of apology, so he took everything on himself.
"What are you talking about?" Tang Mugong asked.
"Dad, you don't need to say any more. I am responsible for everyone's work and will not let the Tang Clan be implicated."
"Bah! It's obviously not you who did it. As soon as you admit it, the Tang Sect has been implicated." Tang Mugong said angrily.
But everyone could no longer hear what the father and son were saying, and the ruthless curses instantly drowned them both.
