860: Chapter 860: The Ghost-Faced Tang Rufeng!

Upon hearing Qin Han’s words, more beads of sweat appeared on Tang Huanran’s face.

Seeing this, Second Elder furrowed his brows even deeper, then turned to Chi Zihuan and asked, “Chi Zihuan, tell me, what exactly happened just now?”

Second Elder did not expect the person provoking the Tang Clan to be someone from the Xiangxi branch, and he understood Tang Liuyu well.

Provoking the Tang Clan was out of the question — Tang Liuyu wouldn’t even utter a single bad word about them.

It seems there must be other hidden reasons behind tonight’s events.

Seeing Second Elder ask him, Chi Zihuan hurriedly recounted the events that had transpired.

Upon hearing this, First Elder’s expression soured as he looked at Tang Huanran and asked, “Tang Steward, is what Chi Zihuan said true?”

“First Elder, there’s a misunderstanding here?” Tang Huanran said, avoiding First Elder’s gaze.

Second Elder furrowed his brows and said, “Then explain what the misunderstanding is.”

“Are you Tang Clan elders?” At this moment, An Menglu stood up and asked.

Second Elder glanced at An Menglu and nodded, saying, “We are Tang Clan elders.

Who might you be, miss?”

“Does that mean an elder ranks higher than a steward?” An Menglu asked.

First Elder looked solemnly at An Menglu and said, “In the Tang Clan, besides the Sect Leader, the five elders hold the highest authority.

The steward merely manages daily supplies and personnel needs for Tang Clan.”

“That puts me at ease,” An Menglu nodded and then said, “Elders, I am the An Group’s representative sent to sign a medicinal supply contract with Tang Clan.

Tang Jingwei demanded a five percent kickback on the agreed price!”

“Moreover…”

Taking a deep breath, An Menglu glanced at Qin Han.

Seeing his encouraging gaze, she continued, “Moreover, Tang Jingwei insisted I accompany him before signing the contract and even groped my leg during the banquet!”

After speaking, An Menglu looked calmly at the five elders.

“What?

Tang Jingwei did such a thing?” Fourth Elder exclaimed in fury.

Third Elder looked intensely at Tang Huanran and asked, “Tang Huanran, is what this young lady said true?”

Upon hearing An Menglu’s allegations, Tang Huanran broke into cold sweat, even more so when the elders interrogated him.

He was at a loss for how to respond.

Seeing Tang Huanran’s expression, First Elder realized An Menglu was speaking the truth and snorted coldly, “Tang Huanran, we have always been aware of Tang Jingwei’s secret misconduct over the years.

We’ve turned a blind eye because of your many years of service to Tang Clan.

But now, Tang Jingwei has sunk to such depths!”

“And you, not only failed to punish him but also condoned him, deceiving the five of us to avenge him!”

“How audacious!” First Elder snorted coldly.

Tang Huanran hurriedly knelt and said, “First Elder, I realize my mistake.

I will punish Jingwei upon returning and then go to the Enforcement Hall to accept my penalty!”

First Elder ignored Tang Huanran and turned to Qin Han, saying, “Qin Han, Tang Clan is in the wrong here.

I will ensure you get a satisfactory resolution!”

Qin Han waved his hand dismissively, “The matter doesn’t end here.”

“Is there something else?” Second Elder furrowed his brows, then said, “Qin Han, speak freely!”

“After the disturbance earlier, the shop owner, under Tang Huanran’s orders, tried to poison us with Spirit Dispersing Pill!” Qin Han said flatly.

“What?” The five elders were shocked, looking at Qin Han, then at Tang Huanran.

Third Elder glared furiously at Tang Huanran and asked, “Tang Huanran, what is the meaning of this?”

“Third Elder, I don’t know!

I didn’t order anyone to poison!” Tang Huanran denied vehemently, unable to admit he gave the Spirit Dispersing Pill to Madam Wang.

Hearing Tang Huanran’s words, Third Elder turned to Madam Wang and asked, “Where did you get the Spirit Dispersing Pill?”

“I…

I found it at the mountain’s base!” Madam Wang said with a hint of panic, though her tone was unconvincing.

Wang Pingchuan sneered, “Found it?

Quite the finder.

Tang Clan treasures this item enough to lock it in a safe, and you claim to have found it.”

Qin Han smiled faintly without saying a word.

Tang Liuyu frowned at the scene unfolding before him, suddenly feeling that the Tang Clan he had fought so hard to return to was turning out to be like this…

Third Elder sneered, “Found it?

Has the Tang Clan’s sacred Spirit Dispersing Pill become so common that any random lady can find one?”

Tang Huanran gave Madam Wang a warning glance.

Second Elder stared closely at Tang Huanran and said, “Tang Huanran, if we find Spirit Dispersing Pill missing upon returning, even if you confess, the charge of negligence won’t be light.”

Tang Huanran broke into a sweat again but knew negligence was still lighter than stealing Tang Clan poisons to harm others.

So he gritted his teeth and said, “Second Elder, I truly don’t know what happened!”

“I was just upset about Jingwei being beaten and came down here; I didn’t poison anyone!” Tang Huanran pleaded again.

Second Elder gave Tang Huanran a deep look, then approached Madam Wang and said, “You should know the Tang Clan has a hundred ways to make someone talk.

If we take you to the Tang Clan’s Punishment Hall, even if you survive, you’ll be ruined.

Is it worth it?”

“I…

I really found it,” Madam Wang shakily claimed, despite knowing the Punishment Hall’s severity.

Second Elder snorted coldly, “Alright, you’re really something!”

Then he ordered a Tang Clan disciple, “Take her back; I’ll personally interrogate her!”

The disciple trembled at these words, knowing anyone who encountered Second Elder was often deceived by his smiling demeanor.

Though Second Elder joked and spoke politely, this was only if he wasn’t angry.

Once Second Elder was angry, the consequences were dire…

Because Second Elder also held the title of Hall Master of the Punishment Hall!

This disciple had witnessed a senior brother who betrayed the Tang Clan, stealing techniques in collusion with outsiders.

After refusing to reveal the location of the stolen techniques, he was taken by Second Elder to the Punishment Hall.

After a night of interrogation, he finally confessed.

But the next day, when other disciples went to clean up, they found the senior brother in a completely unrecognizable state.

So this disciple shuddered upon hearing Second Elder would personally interrogate, out of fear.

Second Elder noticed the disciple’s hesitation, glared, and snorted, “What are you scared of?

I’m not interrogating you!”

Just then, First Elder addressed Madam Wang, “You may not know who my fellow elder is?

He’s the infamous Hall Master of the Punishment Hall — Ghost Hand Tang Rufeng!”
