Chapter 215 It’s hard to decide whether to close the coffin
The Supreme Patriarch of the Tang family, Tang Yaoshi, seldom returned to the Tang family. Therefore, Su Chuo and Lu Pianpian were sure that Tang Yaoshi should not have known about Luo Li's marriage to the Fourth Young Master Tang as his concubine.
According to Tang Yaoshi, he was the only one who knew the inside story of Luo An and Tang Wan's elopement.
The rest of the Tang family were kept in the dark, thinking that the elopement was true.
In this context, Tang Wan's situation in the Tang family should be bad. As for Luoli, as the "bastard" born after Tang Wan's "eloping", the situation may be even worse.
Su Chuo inquired again and learned that Luo Li's wedding date was August 18, which was the day after tomorrow.
Less than two days left.
She must sneak into the Tang mansion and understand Luo Li's situation.
She must take care of Luoning's sister.
"Su Chuo, you can pretend to be a figure in the world and go to the Tang family to celebrate and have a banquet. This is the only chance to sneak into the Tang family." Lu Pianpian reminded.
"Well, you can call yourself a member of the Tsing Yi Sect. The way we dress now looks a lot like the Tsing Yi Sect. It just so happens that the Tsing Yi Sect is also in Shu County."
"Below the master of Qingyi Sect, there are four major masters. Just call yourself Mei Yiduo of Xixiu Sect. It will be difficult to reveal your secret after hanging around for a few days."
"Mei Yiduo?" Su Chuo asked, "Has no one seen Mei Yiduo?"
Lu Pianpian said: "The Tsing Yi Sect is the ninth largest force in Shu County. Although it operates a real clothing business, it is actually very mysterious. The sect leader and the four major shop owners are all covered with green gauze, and their names are just code names, not real names.
"
"I have dealt with Mei Yiduo once before. She is also a fifth-grade monk, but I have never seen her true face. There must be very few people in the world who have seen Mei Yiduo."
Su Chuo still felt uneasy, "What if someone from the Tsing Yi Sect happens to come into the Tang Mansion to congratulate? Wouldn't that be exposed on the spot?"
"Don't worry." Lu Pianpian said nonchalantly, "Shu County is very big. The Qingyi Gate is two thousand miles away from the Tang family, and the two families rarely interact with each other."
"This is not a big happy event. It is impossible for Tsing Yi Sect to send someone to congratulate you unless you pass by and have a wedding drink."
"Besides, those who are qualified to go to the Tang family for a wedding banquet must be at the level of a banquet master. There are only four banquet masters in Qingyi Gate. How could it be such a coincidence that one of them happened to be passing by and went to have a wedding banquet at the same time?"
"Okay." Su Chuo nodded, "Then my name will be Mei Yiduo. Regarding the Qingyi Sect, please tell me so that you don't reveal your secret later."
Lu Pianpian said: "I will tell you all this. But let me remind you first, don't cause trouble in the Tang family. If there is any trouble, leave immediately. Don't come by force."
"Even the Yizhou pastors of all generations have been courteous to the Tang family. Offending the Tang family will be very troublesome."
"I know." Su Chuo didn't need Lu Pianpian to remind him, "The Ming family of King Shu, the Zhang family of Wenchang Bo, the Tang family, the Su family, and the four major families of Yizhou are not easy to mess with."
She is from the Su family.
"If something really goes wrong, just go to Tang Xiang and I'll teach you how to talk to her." Lu Pianpian suddenly mentioned Tang Xiang.
"My loyal subordinate Tang Xiang is a direct descendant of the Tang family. My master's daughter is also Luo Ning's aunt. However, Tang Xiang has no idea that her father is the leader of the cult."
Su Chuo was a little surprised, "You are competing with Tang Yaoshi for the position of leader, how dare you trust Tang Xiang? Aren't you afraid that... Tang Yaoshi will let Tang Xiang betray you? After all, they are father and daughter."
Lu Pianpian said: "You don't understand. It is impossible for my master to let anyone in the Tang family know that he is the true leader of the cult."
"My master was originally an embroidery guard and my father's right-hand man. His joining the Zhensi Cult was also my father's arrangement."
"My father's plan is to let my master infiltrate the Zhensi Sect and secretly support my master to become the leader and take over the power of the Zhensi Sect."
"Finally, when the time is right, we will wipe out the True Sacrifice Cult, eradicate it from the roots, and eliminate the most serious trouble for the imperial court!"
Su Chuo was very surprised when he heard this.
She didn't expect that it turned out that Tang Yaoshi was originally an embroidered guard. He joined the Zhensi Cult in his early years and became the leader. This was all Lu Zhi's plan.
It's really such a loss.
In order to completely eliminate the Zhensi Sect, Lu Zhi had been carefully planning for decades, and he was worthy of being a sharp knife for the emperor and the court.
Unfortunately, he was liquidated after his death.
Lu Pianpian continued: "The only person in the court who knows his true identity is my father. Except for my father, no one knows that the leader of the Demon Cult, which is a headache for the court, is actually an undercover agent of the court."
"It's just that after my father's death, he was punished by the imperial court and labeled as a traitor. Even the Lu family's house was confiscated. Since then, my master has changed."
"On the surface, he is still a court official, but he is no longer loyal to the court. Instead, he truly considers the great cause of the Zhensi Sect, promotes the Zhensi Sect, and attempts to rebel."
"With the death of my father, my master is no longer an undercover agent, but a true leader."
"But the Tang family has supported the imperial court for generations and must not be involved with the demon sect. Therefore, even his children do not know the identity of my master."
"It's impossible for him to let Tang Xiang know that he is the leader."
Su Chuo suddenly thought of a question, "That's not right. Since your father is a loyal minister, why didn't he report such an important matter to the emperor at that time?"
"Shouldn't the emperor know that the leader of the True Sacrifice is an undercover agent of the imperial court? This is no small matter."
Lu Pianpian was silent for a long time, "I don't know this either. Logically speaking, this secret must be revealed to the emperor secretly. But only my father knows this secret, which is indeed a bit weird."
"So..." Su Chuo said after careful consideration, "Your father may not really be the wronged loyal minister you imagined. If Mr. Lu is really a loyal minister, how can he let the Zhensi Sect develop and grow? And hide it from the emperor?"
"What is this? Isn't it cheating?"
Lu Pianpian was still silent.
Su Chuo hasn't finished speaking yet.
"Also...when your father died, your master had been the leader for more than 20 years. The two of them had already firmly controlled the Zhensi Cult. The time must have been ripe. Why didn't you take action against the Zhensi Cult for so long?"
"Being deceitful about the emperor, raising tigers to create trouble...or raising bandits to be self-respecting, no matter which one is involved, it is difficult to say that you are a loyal minister."
"The minister said that your father was a traitor, and if he is liquidated, his family will not be confiscated, right? The Lu family is the founding marquis of the country. As for having their family confiscated by the emperor?"
"But without saying a word, the emperor ransacked the home of the founding marquis who had retired from the country. Your brothers were executed. You were reduced to slavery at the age of three. It was your master who saved you and raised you.
.”
"Is it just because the emperor and the imperial court are so cruel to the Lu family because of their stupidity? Is there any hidden secret in it?"
"Why has he not been rehabilitated even after his death for more than 20 years?"
"Your father is really... a coffin that cannot be sealed."
"Is it difficult to close the coffin?" Lu Pianpian finally spoke, "I have thought about this a long time ago. I am also confused, but I don't believe it. My father is not a loyal minister. Even if there is a hidden secret, it is definitely not my father's fault.
"
"Okay, sister, I don't want to talk about this. You can go to Tang Mansion quickly."
………
Tang Mansion is located in the center of Tangjiashan City. It is a large area of magnificent buildings built against the mountain.
Above the many buildings, there is a rich and pure aura, which looks like a fairy cave and is full of the aura of wealth and honor in the world.
Tang Mansion's protective formation is also up to the first level.
Under the majestic gatehouse are a group of well-dressed domestic servants. Even the concierge and deacon who greets guests are all eighth-grade monks.
If you don't have enough cultivation and status, you don't dare to enter.
At this moment, many carriages and horses were parked in the square outside the gatehouse of the Tang Mansion, and there was an endless flow of people. It was really like a crowded place.
But in fact, many people will be blocked from the door and refused to enter.
As soon as Su Chuo's figure appeared, everyone's attention was immediately attracted.
Not only is her dress very similar to that of the Tsing Yi Sect, but also because her cultivation revealed at this time is that of a fifth-grade perfection!
A perfect master of the fifth grade is considered a person of high status even in Shu County, which is the heartland of Yizhou.
Although there are many visitors to the Tang Mansion every day, there are not many masters with perfect fifth grade.
"Could it be the master of the Tsing Yi Sect?" The knowledgeable monk suddenly thought to himself.
Several sixth- and seventh-grade monks saluted together and said: "...I have met senior..."
Others even gave way to a way, all with respectful expressions.
Even the concierge and deacon stood up, "Senior, are you entering the mansion? Excuse me..."
Su Chuo said in an indifferent tone: "I am Mei Yiduo, the owner of Xixiu Boutique of Qingyi Gate. I was passing by this place and learned that there was a happy event in your house, so I just happened to come in for a glass of wedding wine."
After saying that, he took out ten spiritual stones and said, "This is my congratulatory gift."
The first sale is ten spiritual stones, which are worth a thousand taels of gold, which is considered generous.
After all, Mei Yiduo has no friendship with the Tang family and is just a passerby.
"Thank you, senior!" The concierge with an eighth-level cultivation hurriedly took the spirit stone, "It turns out that senior is the master of Meifang of Qingyi Sect. This junior is being polite."
He saluted and immediately wrote on the gift list: "The master of Qingyimen Xixiu Square has a plum blossom and a congratulatory gift of ten spiritual stones."
"Master Meifang, please!" the concierge said respectfully, his attitude was very different from that of other guests.
As soon as Su Chuo entered the door, the surveillance array recorded her image and breath, and together with her name, it was transmitted to the guest hall of the Tang Mansion.
The tribesman responsible for managing Zhi Ke Hall immediately arranged the guest house where he would stay, food and reception specifications based on Su Chuo's cultivation, status, and background.
At the same time, the guest's information is also sent to the Guard Hall.
The tribesmen responsible for guarding the hall immediately arranged corresponding defensive measures to guard against visitors who were spies, enemies, or had ulterior motives or bad intentions.
Soon, a member of the Tang family led Su Chuo into a small, quiet courtyard in the atrium.
When entering the Tang Mansion, one cannot let go of his spiritual consciousness casually, and Su Chuo doesn't know which courtyard Luo Li is in.
She decided that if Luo Li was forced, she would save Luo Li even if she risked pretending to be a real person.
………
From a painting building not far from the courtyard where Su Chuo stayed, the sound of warblers and the laughter of women could be heard from time to time.
The painting building was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, making it very festive.
In the gorgeous painting building, there was a childish and beautiful girl in a red dress, sitting in front of the dressing table with a happy face, painting flowers with great interest.
Even the intoxicating autumn light outside the window was eclipsed by her smiling face.
There were two women in their early forties beside her.
The three women seemed to be in a good mood.
If Luo Ning were present, he would definitely recognize that these three women are his sister Luo Li, his mother Tang Wan, and his aunt Tang Xiang.
"Li'er, I told you before that your brother is fine. Now you are finally relieved." Tang Xian said to the girl with a smile.
The girl nodded happily, "I want to go to Xifan to find my brother."
"There's no rush." Tang Wan smiled and stroked the girl's hair, "It's not too late to go after the happy event the day after tomorrow."
Luo Li also laughed, "Those people couldn't have imagined that the so-called happy event turned out to be a red trap. Interesting, interesting."
"But, will they really take the bait?"
"Definitely." Tang Xiang said, "You are going to have a happy event, how could they not come? They can't possibly think that the happy event is fake."
Luo Li smiled crookedly with his big eyes, "When they come, I will make sure they can neither survive nor die."
