The current situation surprised Tang Can a little.

The main reason is that the City Lord Hu in front of him is a bit...unfathomable!

First of all, as the lord of Jinling City, Hu Yanzhi's external image has always been "eating, drinking and enjoying" and does not manage the affairs in the city very much.

Today, there was such a "prayer for the people" and brought so many tired and sore people to the Tang Mansion to seek justice early in the morning.

Obviously...

This is definitely not a targetless approach. Our City Lord Hu came prepared.

Before, Tang Can also analyzes the "City Lord Hu" in the coffin based on the memories of the "fool Tang Can".

Hu Yanzhi is good at keeping his strength and winning people's hearts. Many families in the city that were originally neutral are basically subtle and changed their position after being divided by Hu Yanzhi.

At this point, the prefect Chen Yonglian was in great danger. Even though he had tried all 120,000 yuan, he could only barely gain a foothold in Jinling City. Most of the families who defected to him were small families.

The so-called barking dogs do not bite people. The most terrifying people in the world are not those who shout all day long that they are as powerful as they are, and whoever they want to hit, but those who are usually not visible and stand silently in the corner among the crowd, and are inconspicuous.

Most martial arts novels are also full of various hidden "nameless masters".

In other words, people who are truly capable are relatively low-key.

Once these low-key people suddenly appear and become taller, they must pay attention. They want to... use their big moves, and they can instantly use them as soon as they are released.

...

Therefore, it is not difficult to explain the actions of City Lord Hu now.

If he doesn't take action, he will have to. Since he chooses to take action today, he is determined to take over the Tang family.

Even if he was talking lies with his eyes open and saying that Tang Can was a living person, he was a "evil ghost and monster", City Lord Hu was willing to do so.

"Young Master Tang, everyone says you are a fool. I think this is fine. If it were you... to deal with an evil ghost who harms the people and makes people panic all day long, would you be merciful?"

Faced with Tang Can's questioning, Lord Hu smiled slightly and talked with Tang Can calmly.

The implication is very obvious, which is to tell Tang Can that the Tang Mansion that remains neutral and even wants to turn to the Tang Mansion on the side of the prefect Chen is to make him, the city lord, feel disgusted with him, and he must be eliminated today.

"Oh? Lord, have you ever thought that you might not be able to remove this evil ghost, and you would be bitten hard by this evil ghost?"

When saying this, Tang Can also speaks with a touch of joking and threatening tone.

When Lord Hu heard this, he laughed and said, "Haha! I don't think it's possible. If Master Tang doesn't believe it, just try it... can you bite a piece of meat from me, Hu Yanzhi."

After saying that, City Lord Hu waved his hand and dozens of personal guards had surrounded the Tang Mansion.

"Lord Hu, don't deceive others too much."

The head of the family, Tang Xun, clenched the sword in his hand, squinted his eyes, and said bluntly, "If City Lord Hu was willing to turn swords into jade today, my Tang family would be willing to follow the head of City Lord Hu."

Obviously...

For the sake of his son Tang Can, Tang Xun chose to surrender.

Use the loyalty of the entire Tang family to exchange for Tang Can's life.

If it were in the past, Hu Yanzhi would definitely not be able to ask for it and would agree immediately.

However, this and another moment, Hu Yanzhi shook his head contemptuously and said three words: "No need!"

Then……

Tang Zhou and Tang Jin stood next to Lord Hu with a smile on their faces. Tang Zhouyi said to Tang Xun righteously: "Brother! It's too late for you to make such a decision."

Tang Jin also smiled from the side and said, "Uncle! Although you surprised me today, for the overall situation, it can't change anything at all. After all, Jinling City is the world of the city lord. You and the three elders are hooked up and want to push our Tang family to the fire pit on the side of the prefect Chen, my father and I will never agree."

"So, Tang Zhou and Tang Jin, have you been seeking the resignation of the Lord Hu City?"

At this moment, Tang Xun truly understood.

The most treacherous person in the entire Tang family was Tang Zhou and Tang Jin, who were completely at the same time.

While winning over the support of the three elders, they suppressed Tang Lun and Tang Xing, and showed goodwill to the prefect Chen to make friends with the Cangyun Sword Sect outside the city, but... the final backer was the city lord Hu Yanzhi.

"Despicable! Tang Jin, the three elders, have clearly expressed their support for your current generation of heads. Why do you, father and son, have to go to Lord Hu for two sides?"

The second elder was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. After all, he always felt that... under the leadership of the Great Elder, the entire Tang family should be under the control of the three of them.

As a result, it was only now that it was discovered that not only the head of the family, Tang Xun, was beyond their control, but also Tang Zhou and Tang Jin and his father and son, had so many arrangements.

"Second Elder, Tang Can said right just now. You three old guys have stepped into the coffin with one foot. Do you still want to control the power of our Tang family? If my son Tang Jin becomes the head of the family, how can you three immortals point fingers behind your back?"

Tang Zhou said disdainfully, "Besides, the Great Elder Mouse was short-sighted, and in order to resolve the crisis of Huangliangjiu, he was about to turn to Prefect Chen. Unexpectedly, the entire Jinling City was under the control of City Lord Hu, and resigning to Prefect Chen was no less than digging his own grave."

The proud Tang Zhou and Tang Jin were already standing next to Lord Hu.

In their opinion, after today, the entire Tang family's industry will fall into the hands of the father and son.

...

"Okay! Master Tang, each of my personal guards is in the late stage of the warrior. Do you still want to resist stubbornly?"

The city lord Hu Yanzhi looked at the angry Tang Xun in front of him, and sighed.

"Lord Hu, if that's the case, then let's fight to the death!"

With a determination to die, Tang Xun raised his sword high, and he wanted to protect his son Tang Can no matter what.

However, at this time, Tang Can spread his hands and said, "Father! It's over here, let's forget it!"

"Forget it? Can'er, don't be afraid. My father will definitely protect you."

After clenching the sword in his hand, Tang Xun felt guilty. Although he didn't know what happened that led to Tang Can's resurrection, he could never sit still and watch Tang Can die in front of him and die again.

"It's okay, father. Believe me!"

Tang Can stepped forward, said in Tang Xun's ear, then put his hands behind his back, and said to City Lord Hu: "Master Lord! Since you insist on thinking that I am an evil ghost, you want to burn me to death. Well! Whoever makes me a person is more hospitality and can't bear to refuse other people's requests. If you want to burn me to death sincerely, then I will fulfill your wish with mercy..."

puff!

When Tang Can said this, he walked to the guards without any resistance and surrendered, everyone present was shocked.

"Is Tang Can really stupid? Where is this... a death sentence? He also said that he would satisfy the wish of the city chief burning him to death. Is his head really broken?"

"I feel sorry for the head of the Tang family. I tried my best to protect him. As a result, Tang Can himself doesn't want to live..."

"Maybe, Tang Can wants to sacrifice himself and protect the Tang family!"

"Bad, don't it be clear! Isn't it clear? City Lord Hu has already bribed Tang Zhou and Tang Jin of the Tang family. Do you think... after today, will the head of the Tang family still be Tang Xun?"

"When my family killed the chicken, they would struggle a few times before the chicken died, splashing my blood all over. I didn't expect that Tang Can was so backless and didn't even have the courage to resist?"

...

The people around him couldn't help but sigh when they saw this.

Thinking about it, the Tang family was a big family in Jinling City that had been passed down for hundreds of years, but even their eldest son could not be kept. They were going to be burned to death by the city lord in public in the name of "evil ghost".

"Interesting! Interesting! Tang Can, have you pretended to be stupid for more than ten years and never talked to people so happily, and your mouth is so annoying?"

Lord Hu was amused by Tang Can's words, "But this is fine, it's all right, it's free from my efforts. Do you have any requests before you die? I am a hospitality person and don't like to refuse other people's requests, especially those who are about to die."

"There is no request, I just want to know. Where is the Lord Hu planning to burn me to death?"

Tang Can was very obediently tied up by his personal guards, then raised his head and asked with a smile.

"Just right in front of your Tang Mansion, look, my personal guards have started to bring firewood."

Lord Hu pointed to the "barbecue grill" that was set up in front of the Tang Mansion.

Who knew that after Tang Can saw it, he frowned and said with satisfaction: "Lord Hu! Never! You obviously... don't pay attention to me enough. I think the scene can be more grand."

"Oh? The scene is a little more grand? What's the solution?"

Lord Hu found it interesting and asked Tang Can, "Tell me, what do you think."

"Hehe! I have an immature suggestion here."

Tang Can was tied up with a lot of flowers and jumped hard, as if this would make his speech more powerful, "I think! Since City Lord Hu wants to eliminate evil ghosts, he naturally wants the people in the city to watch me, the evil ghost, be burned to death, so that the influence can be eliminated, and the majesty of the City Lord is reflected.

So, I suggest going to the high platform at the entrance of Dongcai Shishi. At the same time, we will tell the people of the city to come and see it. I think... this is enough to be grand enough. What do you think, Lord, what do you think?"

When Lord Hu heard this, his eyes lit up and said slightly, "This is a good idea!"

"No! Lord of the City, this is Tang Can's conspiracy. He must have wanted to make things worse by using this. At that time... through the long mouths of the people in the city, you will force you to let him go?"

Tang Jin was not stupid either. When he heard Tang Can’s suggestion, he hurriedly shouted.

Tang Zhou had another layer of concern and said, "Mr. City Lord! Chi Ze changed. Tang Can probably use this to cause trouble and bring the people of the prefect Chen over. Then Tang Xun asked the prefect Chen to come forward to save the people at the cost of the Tang family's resignation. Never let them delay time?"

However, what Tang Zhou and Tang Jin could think of, would the scheming city lord Hu Yanzhi not consider?

"It's okay! Actually, what Tang Can said is exactly what I want. I want the people of the entire Jinling City to see how I, Hu Yanzhi, punish the evil ghosts who dare to enter Jinling City to make a monster."

After saying that, City Lord Hu waved his hand and his guards immediately removed the "barbecue grill" he had just built and escorted Tang Can to the high platform at the East Caishikou.

"Master Lord, but the side of the prefect Chen..."

Tang Zhou still said uneasyly, after all, the prefect Chen Yonglian was the uncertain factor he was most worried about.

The city lord Hu Yanzhi laughed and asked Tang Zhou: "Do you think we have been having trouble here for so long. If the prefect Chen could come, wouldn't it have arrived long ago? Let's go! Tang Can chose a good location, burned on the high platform at Dongcai Shikou. I think... the firelight that the people will definitely see more realistically."
