In Shenhou Prefecture.
"Yi Cui, did you hear that Tang Yong, that trash, came back? And he killed Zhou Rui's guard as soon as he came back. I also heard that he has cultivated a different type of Battle Qi!"
"What?
Different type of Battle Qi?
Isn't he only at the first level of Physique Refining Realm?
How can he have Battle Qi?
That can't be right. Tang Yong didn't learn any skills after Physique Refining Realm. How can he have Battle Qi?
You didn't hear it wrong, did you? "
"See, you still don't believe it. Zhou Rui's corpse is still outside. His wife has already complained to the Second Madam. Tsk, tsk. I heard that he killed the Head Butler's son and ran away. I didn't expect him to have the guts to come back."
Tang Yong's arrival had spread throughout the Marquis' Mansion in a short time. Some of the servants and maids who had offended Tang Yong were scared out of their wits. They were afraid that they would become the second Zhou Rui. However, there were also many people who didn't care about it. They thought that Tang Yong would definitely die without a burial place after offending the Head Butler and the Second Madam.
"Miss, that bastard Tang Yong even killed Brother Zhong and Zhou Rui. Will he come to kill me?
After all, I was the one who told the First Young Master that he peeked at you … "Yi Cui, the maid, had just heard the news and was trembling with fear as she told a gorgeous young woman.
This person was called Tang Yaner. She was the new concubine of the Marquis' Mansion's First Young Master, Tang Zhong's biological sister!
She was wearing a red gauze dress. Her figure was slender and graceful. Looking carefully, she was faintly exuding a strong blue Battle Qi. Obviously, she was already a martial artist!
Tang Yaner smiled coldly and said, "Why are you panicking?
He's just a bastard. So what if he has Battle Qi? He's still stupid enough to come back and walk into the trap. We don't need to do anything. Father will definitely not let him go!
Besides, didn't he kill the guard Zhou Rui?
Second Madam is not someone to be trifled with. Let's just wait and watch the show. "
At this moment, a series of footsteps could be heard, and a tall noble young master walked in.
Yi Cui hurriedly said, "Eldest Young Master, you've returned?"
Tang Yaner's expression also changed immediately. She walked forward with a smile and said, "Husband, why are you back so early?
How did it go?
Is Young Master Deng willing to give the opportunity to go hunting with the Crown Prince to my husband? "
Tang Tian snorted coldly and slammed the table angrily. "Don't talk about this anymore. Ever since Deng Tong became a Martial Warrior, he has been embarrassing me in front of the Crown Prince!"
Tang Yaner's face froze for a moment before she forced a smile and said, "Alright, husband. Let's not talk about this anymore!
By the way, I heard from the servants that Tang Yong is back! "
Tang Tian sneered and said, "Heh, this younger brother of mine has hidden his strength well. If he hadn't killed Tang Zhong and Zhou Rui, I wouldn't have known that his cultivation had reached the Martial Warrior realm."
Tang Yaner observed Tang Tian's expression and continued, "I heard that Tang Yong killed Zhou Rui so easily because he had cultivated a mutated Battle Qi …"
"What?
He cultivated a mutated Battle Qi? "Tang Tian frowned slightly, and a deep sense of jealousy flashed in his eyes.
"That's right. No matter what, Zhou Rui is still a rank 4 warrior. How could he be killed so easily? If it wasn't for his mutated Battle Qi, who knows who would have died?" Tang Yaner said.
"Alright, I got it. I'll go to my mother's place to pay my respects. I'll be back soon." Tang Tian said coldly.
Marquis Shenwu, East Pavilion.
East Pavilion was the residence of the First Madam of Shenwu Hou Mansion, Madam Zhao. It covered an area of about five to six mu and was the largest courtyard in the inner courtyard. There were rockery gardens, lakes, streams, and many richly ornamented palaces. From afar, one could see the winding corridors and eaves, just like a celestial palace.
The First Madam liked to socialize. Usually, she would call a few madams from various manors to drink tea and chat here. Sometimes, her relatives in the south would come and stay here for a few days.
The First Madam Zhao was born in a wealthy family in the south, and her wealth was immeasurable. When Tang Yong's father took over the position of Shenwu, the Hou Mansion was already declining and many people were suppressing the Hou Mansion. Tang Yong's father relied on marrying Madam Zhao and received the support of the wealthy families in the south to stabilize the power of the Marquis Shenwu Mansion.
In the main hall of the East Pavilion sat two madams, and a group of maids and women were waiting on them.
Sitting at the head of the table was a noblewoman. She was dressed in a purple dress with golden threads, her hair was tall, and she wore a peacock hairpin with a cloud tail on her head. Beside her stood four to five maids dressed in silver fur coats. Each of the maids had a pretty face and a slim figure.
The noblewoman's face was like a full moon, and her eyebrows were like silver hooks. Her whole person exuded a graceful and luxurious aura. Unfortunately, there was a hint of sharpness in her eyes.
This woman was in charge of all the affairs of the Shenwu Hou Mansion, and she was the mistress behind the scenes — Marquis Shenwu's first wife, Madam Zhao.
"Elder Sister, who in the Hou Mansion doesn't know that you're strict in running the household? For someone like Tang Yong, I'll be frank. If he were in other manors, he would have been killed by someone long ago. Who would have thought that he would be such an ingrate? First, he killed the head steward's only son, Tang Zhong, and then he killed my dowry servant, Zhou Rui. If such a vicious wolf cub isn't severely punished, I'm afraid he'll be a big problem in the future!"
At this moment, the woman sitting below the First Madam spoke. This woman was also dressed very luxuriously, and her words were sharp. Her red phoenix eyes glanced at Tang Yong as she spoke.
"I already know the cause of the matter. Your servant insulted the Marquis, which is also wrong. However, Tang Yong dared to kill someone on the street. This is simply ignoring the rules of the Hou Mansion. I have no choice but to use the family law."
Madam Zhao's tone was flat, but her eyes were cold. She glanced at Tang Yong indifferently.
She questioned, "Tang Yong, do you know your crime?"
Before Tang Yong could say anything, the head steward fell to his knees and sobbed, "First Madam, Tang Yong, this vile spawn, killed my only son!
I beg you, you must seek justice for me! "
Tang Yong sneered, "Head Steward, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. You said that I killed your son, but do you have evidence?
Witnesses?
You're framing me for no reason. You want to make a scapegoat for your son. I can't agree to this! "
Suddenly, a middle-aged vixen with red eyes slashed at Tang Yong's back with a kitchen knife. "Tang Yong, you don't need to talk nonsense. Today, I'll make you pay with your life for my husband!"
There were many guards standing beside the vixen, but none of them stopped her. Obviously, they had acquiesced to this.
"How dare you, servant!
How dare you commit murder with a knife! "
Tang Yong suddenly turned around, raised his wrist, and slapped the vixen's face. He didn't hold back in this slap. With a flash of golden Battle Qi, the vixen was sent flying. Half of her face was crooked, and blood flowed from the corner of her mouth and nostrils. The vixen lay on the ground and howled miserably.
The surrounding maids and manservants, who had planned to watch a good show, all sucked in a breath of cold air when they saw this scene. How ruthless!
In the past, Tang Yong killing people was like a legend to them. After all, they hadn't seen it with their own eyes.
Now, seeing Tang Yong slap the face of the Zhou Rui family until it was crooked, they were frightened. In the past, when Tang Yong was still a good-for-nothing, they had mocked and ridiculed him. Now, they were afraid that Tang Yong would come looking for them.
"Ding! From Juan 'er's distress + 32 …"
"Ding! From Bi Tao's distress + 44 …"
"Ding! From Tang Danian's distress + 99 …"
…
It was just a slap, but another wave of negative emotions entered his mailbox.
When Tang Yong glanced at the mailbox, he suddenly noticed a lot of negative emotions.
"Ding! From Tao Fenlan's distress + 999 …"
Eh?
It's that vixen who was slapped. Who would have thought that a slap would cause 999?
Tang Yong glanced at the shrew, only to see the shrew cover her face in horror and crawl back two steps.
"Ding! From Tao Fenlan's distress + 699 …"
