Chen Yuanyuan screamed instantly and took two steps back, holding her severed finger in pain.
But she didn't dare to feel any resentment, so she moved her knees forward and knelt down.
The nephew of the Tang family and the guests all took a breath of cold air when they saw this. They did not expect that Tang Pingfan was cruel to his enemies and hated his own people.
But thinking about his status and achievements, everyone felt relieved.
If Tang Pingfan was not cruel and ruthless in his actions, how could he possibly suppress the arrogant and powerful generals of the Tang clan?
Tang Ruoxue also frowned slightly.
In Tang Ruoxue's view, Chen Yuanyuan did deserve to be punished for colluding with foreign enemies, but it would be too cruel for Tang Pingfan to personally judge Chen Yuanyuan.
How can we say that Chen Yuanyuan is also Tang Pingfan's legal wife.
To be cruel to his wife, whom he has been with for decades, is so inhumane and inhumane.
However, Tang Ruoxue showed a sense of self-mockery when she thought of how Ye Fan had abandoned her when she was giving birth and ran to the Wolf Kingdom to save Song Hongyan.
My former husband was nothing, so why should I be filled with righteous indignation and criticize Tang Pingfan?
Ye Fan and Song Hongyan didn't react, they just stared at Tang Fanfan and examined him.
After breaking off Chen Yuanyuan's finger, Tang Pingfan's face showed no trace of emotion.
He looked at Chen Yuanyuan and his voice was emotionless: "Have you forgotten the Tang Sect's bottom line?"
Chen Yuanyuan gritted her teeth and shook her head: "No, no."
Her expression was very complicated, with a hint of resentment, but it soon turned into timidity and awe.
Tang Pingfan threw the knife back to Secretary Jiang: "Then tell me about the rules I set at the beginning."
Chen Yuanyuan squeezed out a sentence: "The people of Yang State can take advantage of it, but they cannot collude with each other."
"That's right!"
Tang Pingfan's voice deepened and he took over Chen Yuanyuan's topic:
"The people of Yang State can cooperate, but they cannot have a heart-to-heart talk, let alone sell their souls to them."
"In a thousand-mile hunting battle, all seventy-two generals of the Tang Sect died in the Yang Kingdom. The Tang Sect and the Yang Kingdom were completely at odds with each other."
"As Mrs. Tang, who holds a high position in the Tang family, you do not make good use of the many resources at hand, but you are eager for revenge and lead to the wolf entering the house."
"Do you know what the consequences will be if you succeed in taking the position and let Governor Kawaguchi replace Tang Beixuan's identity?"
"That means that one day in the future, he will kill you, the mother and the sect leader, and take control of the entire Tang Sect instead."
"In that case, the entire Tang Sect will fall into the hands of the Yang people."
"Once the Tang Sect falls into the hands of the people of the Yang Kingdom, the five major families will fight in chaos, or become a weapon to attack the three cornerstones."
"Then you will be a sinner of the Tang clan and a sinner of the nation. Even if you die a hundred times, it will not be enough to atone for your sins."
Tang Pingfan shouted: "You are also sorry for me and the dead Beixuan."
Chen Yuanyuan endured the pain and said: "Pingfan, I'm sorry, I was wrong, I was blinded by hatred."
Tang Pingfan's face turned cold: "You lured a wolf into the house, I should slap you to death."
"But considering that you are a white-haired person sending a black-haired person to someone out of necessity, and for the sake of our decades-long relationship as husband and wife, I will give you a way out."
"It's just that you can escape death penalty, but you can't avoid living crime."
"This finger is a lesson to you."
"At the same time, tonight is over. You will stay in the pagoda for the rest of your life, with the green lantern and Buddhist scriptures as your companions, and digest your hatred."
"Without my instructions and permission, you are not allowed to leave the pagoda for the rest of your life."
Tang Pingfan decided Chen Yuanyuan's future: "If there is any deviation, I will kill you!"
Chen Yuanyuan nodded repeatedly: "I understand, I understand, I won't do it again."
Tang Pingfan tilted his head slightly towards Secretary Jiang again.
Secretary Jiang immediately took a step forward, opened a diary, and said in a cold voice:
"The return of the king, the leader of the Tang Sect, will surely shock the entire Tang Sect and even all parties."
"In order to unite the hearts and interests of the Tang Sect, and to retract the fingers into a powerful fist, the Tang Sect will implement Yiyantang control tonight."
"There is only one voice in the entire Tang Sect, the Tang Sect Master."
Her voice deepened: "Anyone who offends or questions will be shot to death!"
Chen Yuanyuan and Tang Menzi's nephew all lowered their heads: "Understood!"
Secretary Jiang took the diary and scanned the audience before continuing:
"The leader of the Tang Sect has been missing for nearly two years, and many changes have taken place within the Tang Sect."
"In order to thoroughly implement the instructions and will of the Tang Sect Master, the Sect Master asked me to draw up a list of temporary leaders of each branch before he showed up."
"The original heads of each branch were temporarily relieved of their positions and took a three-month rest."
"Tang Fu!"
"exist!"
"Tang Kexin is dead, you are temporarily in charge of the thirteen branches of the Tang Sect!"
"yes!"
"Tang Lu!"
"exist!"
"What an organization needs most is smooth and reliable intelligence. You will take over the position of Scout Tang."
"yes!"
"Tang Shou!"
"exist!"
"You are a highly respected veteran of the two dynasties of the Tang Sect. The sect leader hopes that you will provoke the Tang Huangpu branch."
"Tang Shuang, you have the best relationship with Tang Yuanba, and you are kind to his family, so you will temporarily control this lineage of nephews."
"Tang Quan, you are responsible for taking over the twelve branches of the Tang Sect, and Tang Shi'er's economic team will be reorganized for the sect leader."
Secretary Jiang took the diary and handed out instructions one by one.
The thirteen branches of the Tang Sect, and the thirteen temporary leaders, including the deputies, have all been clearly arranged.
Not only is she familiar with the entire Tang Sect structure, she can also smoothly navigate the intricate connections and bring out the strengths of each appointee.
This not only gave Tang Pingfan a large number of fans, but also completely dispelled everyone's remaining doubts.
Everyone can see that only those who have truly been immersed in the Tang Sect for many years can make such precise and meticulous arrangements.
Secretary Jiang quickly sent out all the appointment orders.
The nephews and nephews of the Tang family who had received important tasks were all in high morale and full of admiration for Tang Pingfan.
The person whose position was replaced just bowed his head and did not dare to show any dissatisfaction.
Tang Pingfan put his hands behind his back and said calmly: "Do you have any objections to my arrangement?"
Chen Yuanyuan and Tang Men's nephew hurriedly shook their heads: "It all depends on the master's instructions."
Tang Ruoxue twitched the corner of her mouth a few times, as if she was unwilling to have the twelve branches taken away, but after thinking about it, she finally fell silent.
With the current situation, it would be good if we could keep the Imperial Palace. There is no need to expect the Twelve Branches of the Tang Sect.
"Very good, you are respectful and I am benevolent and righteous."
Tang Pingfan picked up the golden letter of appointment as the head of the sect and glanced at the content on it:
"This sect leader's appointment letter contains many familiar names of elders."
"I don't know whether I am alive or dead, so you are trying to support Chen Yuanyuan to rise to power, or is it Chen Yuanyuan who colluded with the Yang people?"
"The people who signed these names are all guilty. According to the Tang family's family law, all of them should die."
"But in this life, who can avoid making mistakes and being confused?"
"So I, Tang Pingfan, am willing to give you one and only chance."
"I won't hold you accountable!"
"I have written off all the grudges and small actions of the past, including this signature on the letter of appointment as head of the sect."
"But remember, I am benevolent and righteous, and you must also learn to respect me!"
After he finished speaking, he lit Chen Yuanyuan's letter of appointment and burned it with a lighter.
The nephews and nephews of the Tang family all fell to their knees with a plop and shouted excitedly: "We will die even if our brains are ruined."
Tang Pingfan's eyes suddenly looked at Tang Ruoxue, who was still standing.
His eyes were indifferent: "Ruoxue, do you have any opinions?"
Tang Ruoxue's eyelids twitched: "No objection!"
"It's fine if you don't have any objection."
Tang Pingfan said calmly: "By the way, Dihao, you have to step aside and let Secretary Jiang take over."
Tang Ruoxue's body trembled and she subconsciously asked, "Why?"
"I don't trust you."
Tang Pingfan is very direct: "The money bag must be controlled by someone I trust."
"Uncle, I'm sorry."
Tang Ruoxue took a deep breath: "Dihao, I can't give it to you."
"Snapped--"
Tang Pingfan suddenly appeared, slapped Tang Ruoxue away, and said indifferently: "I'm a little hard of hearing, can you tell me again?"
