No one could understand the pain he was feeling right now.
He thought that he was digging a hole to bury Niu Youdao, but who knew that he jumped into Niu Youdao's deep hole and dug a hole. Niu Youdao was probably standing on top of the hole and watching the idiot work. Who could understand such a feeling? This was especially true for a proud person like him.
It was fine if he lost, but now he realized that he was so angry that he spat out blood. This was another loss!
Although he wasn't willing to leave, it was still unknown if he could avoid this. Even if he could, once he was saddled with the crime of killing his stepmother and killing his brother, it would be a stain that he would never be able to wash away. Another loss!
All along, he had thought that he was the most outstanding person in the world. Who would have thought that he would be toyed with like a fool? After being toyed with for such a long time, he only reacted when he was about to lose his life. How could he endure such a miserable loss?
After laughing bitterly, the anger in his heart couldn't be extinguished and he coughed uncontrollably.
He quickly got up and took a teacup from the table. He wanted to pour some tea into it, but who knew that as the tea entered his mouth, he coughed out a mouthful of blood …
Provincial Governor's Mansion, in a spacious and quiet room, Zhong Yangxu, who was sitting cross-legged, looked at the translated secret letter.
"Ai!" Zhong Yangxu couldn't help but sigh.
There was another translated letter beside him. He had just finished reading one, but who knew that there would be another one that talked about the same thing.
The first was a letter from Great Zen Mountain regarding the rumors in Ice and Snow Pavilion. Great Zen Mountain suspected that Shao Pingbo was the culprit and asked him to verify with Shao Pingbo so that Great Zen Mountain would know what to do.
The second was a letter from Great Zen Mountain saying that Niu Youdao already had evidence to prove that Shao Pingbo was the culprit and caught the person who spread the rumors. He even threw one to Great Zen Mountain and told them to deal with it.
Niu Youdao's meaning was clear. If Shao Pingbo died, he wouldn't pursue the matter. If Shao Pingbo didn't die, Ice and Snow Pavilion would deal with this matter.
Great Zen Mountain compromised and told Zhong Yangxu, who was in charge of this side, to deal with this matter!
How else could he deal with it? Zhong Yangxu shook his head helplessly and muttered to himself, "I'm too smart for my own good!"
Actually, he had high hopes for Shao Pingbo. He had the ability and could maintain the interests of Great Zen Mountain. Great Zen Mountain also had high hopes for Shao Pingbo to inherit Bei Zhou. Who knew that such a thing would happen because of a woman. His bright future was ruined by a woman. Wasn't it a pity?
Femme fatale! Zhong Yangxu made up his mind. After this incident, the Shanghai Sect must not remain in the Northern Province. Tang Yi must be driven away.
Holding the letter, he stood up and said to the side, "You guys go capture him first. I'll go look for Shao Dengyun. We've known each other for so many years, I should at least communicate with him first!"
Just as he finished speaking, someone came to report, "Martial Uncle, Third Young Master requests an audience!"
Zhong Yangxu frowned. He didn't know why Shao Fubo had come here at this time.
He waved his hand, indicating that the person who had been instructed not to delay and go about his business. Then, he said to the person who had come, "Let him in."
After a while, Shao Fubo arrived respectfully and politely cupped his hands in greeting. "Shao Fubo greets the Venerable One."
Zhong Yangxu sighed. "What's the matter?"
"I'm here to beg for Big Brother's forgiveness." Shao Fubo actually knelt down and said in a sorrowful voice, "Big Brother doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. He actually used Ice and Snow Pavilion for his personal grudge with Niu Youdao …" He made a series of statements and actually started crying. He was even wiping his tears.
You call this begging for Big Brother's forgiveness? You're clearly trying to kill your Big Brother! Zhong Yangxu raised his eyebrows high as he watched Shao Fubo's performance. After listening, he laughed coldly and said, "What a ruthless fellow. He won't stop until he kills Young Master!"
Then, he shook his head and felt that it made sense. Killing one's parents, stealing one's wife, cutting off one's source of wealth, any one of these could easily provoke someone to fight to the death. If you target someone's wife, it would be strange if they would let you go.
He was talking about Niu Youdao, asking the Shao Family to stab themselves in the back, asking Shao Pingbo's brother to kill his own family. He was clearly pressuring Great Zen Mountain to cut off Great Zen Mountain's path of retreat. He wanted Shao Pingbo dead!
Shao Fubo jumped in fright and thought that he was talking about him. He raised his hand and swore, "Venerable One, everything junior says is true. If there's a single lie, I'm willing to be cut into pieces!"
He didn't know that Great Zen Mountain had already sent a message over here. He didn't know that Niu Youdao was attacking both sides at the same time. He wanted Shao Pingbo dead and didn't give Shao Pingbo a chance to turn things around!
Zhong Yangxu snickered coldly. How could he not know about the open and secret strife between the brothers? This was a killing blow!
However, he didn't want to make any judgments at this time. With this, he could answer to Shao Dengyun. He nodded slightly and said, "I understand what you mean. Do you dare to come with me to see your father?"
Shao Fubo hesitated and was a little afraid. However, he couldn't back down now. He could only brace himself and say, "I'm doing this for the good of the Shao Family. I hope that Father can save Eldest Brother in time."
"Alright! I understand your good intentions. "Zhong Yangxu nodded and waved his hand." Then I'll have to trouble Third Young Master to come with me! "
"Yes!" Shao Fubo got up, wiped his tears, and left with the other.
The group arrived at the office where Shao Dengyun handled official business. After being notified, Zhong Yangxu indicated for Shao Fubo to wait outside while he went in first.
Inside the room, Lady Ruan was accompanying Shao Dengyun. She said something that seemed to make Shao Dengyun happy.
Seeing Zhong Yangxu come in, the two came to greet him. Shao Dengyun smiled and said, "What has disturbed Brother Zhong's peaceful cultivation?" He cupped his hands.
Lady Ruan, who was half-kneeling and bowing, felt a little guilty. She didn't dare to look at Zhong Yangxu's eyes. She guessed that Zhong Yangxu's visit had something to do with her son.
Zhong Yangxu said indifferently, "I have some unpleasant matters here. I'm afraid that I'll disturb you and your wife if I say it."
Shao Dengyun said, "There's no need to be courteous between us. Brother Zhong, if you have something to say, just say it."
The two had known each other for many years and had a good relationship. At most, it was less intimate than the relationship between Li Wuhua and Hai Ruyue.
In reality, Zhong Yangxu was the person in charge of this side and Great Zen Mountain. Shao Dengyun also needed to have a good relationship with him. It would be best if they could be as close as brothers.
They had to face this matter sooner or later. Zhong Yangxu didn't beat around the bush and directly took out the first secret letter from Great Zen Mountain. He handed it over. "Brother Shao, why don't you take a look first?"
Shao Dengyun took the secret letter and read it. The smile on his face gradually froze.
The content of the letter was about the rumors in Ice and Snow Pavilion. Great Zen Mountain suspected that Shao Pingbo was targeting Niu Youdao and asked them to verify it.
After reading it, Shao Dengyun was silent. No one knew a son better than a father. He also suspected that it was his son who did it, but he couldn't admit it. He sighed and said, "No matter how daring Pingbo is, he wouldn't look down on Ice and Snow Pavilion. Brother Zhong, feel free to verify it. I won't have any objections."
Zhong Yangxu took the letter and handed it to the attendant behind him. He took out a second letter from his sleeve and handed it over. "Brother Shao, the first letter just arrived. Great Zen Mountain sent a second one right after. Why don't you take a look?"
After receiving the letter, Shao Dengyun read the content. His face tightened and his expression darkened. He didn't say anything for a long time.
Ruan Shi, who was at the side, felt strange. She wanted to sneak a look at the content of the letter in her husband's hand, but it wasn't convenient. She wondered if it had nothing to do with her son? Or did her son do something else?
Outside the room, Shao Fubo, who was waiting under the eaves, was nervous. He could imagine his father's anger.
A servant came over with a tray of tea. "Third Young Master, have some tea!"
Shao Fubo's mouth was dry and he was on tenterhooks. He grabbed the teacup and drank it in one gulp. After placing the teacup back on the tray, he waved his hand impatiently, gesturing for the servant to leave.
The servant bowed and left.
Inside the room, Zhong Yangxu waited for a long time and didn't see any reaction from Shao Dengyun. He could only say, "Niu Youdao should have concrete evidence and is obviously threatening us … Brother Shao, I am also in a difficult position. If I punish Eldest Young Master, Brother Shao will be sad. If I don't punish him, the entire Shao Family will be implicated. Maybe even Great Zen Mountain will be implicated. Brother Shao, what do you think we should do? "
Shao Dengyun shook the secret letter in his hand and said solemnly, "This is clearly a trap. I will not make things difficult for Brother Zhong, nor will I make things difficult for Great Zen Mountain, but we should at least investigate this matter, right?"
He wanted to stall for time and see if he could think of a solution. He also wanted to give his son a chance to breathe.
"Brother Shao is right!" Zhong Yangxu nodded and turned around. "Invite Third Young Master in!"
Shao Dengyun was startled. What did this have to do with Third Young Master?
Beside him, Ruan Shi was a little flustered. Her fingers gripped her handkerchief tightly.
She had never taken advantage of Shao Pingbo. If they dared to make a move, she would teach them a harsh lesson. Shao Pingbo was already a shadow in her heart.
Shao Fubo came in with his head lowered. He carefully bowed to greet his parents.
Shao Dengyun shouted, "What are you doing here?"
Zhong Yangxu said calmly, "Third Young Master, repeat what you told me in front of your father."
Thump! Shao Fubo knelt down and started sobbing. "Father, Eldest Brother used Ice and Snow Pavilion to harm Niu Youdao because of his personal grudge with Niu Youdao …"
Shao Dengyun's face gradually darkened to the color of a pig's liver. He really couldn't listen to it anymore. He suddenly shouted angrily, "Shut up! Unfilial son, shut up! "
Shao Fubo didn't stop crying.
He already had no way back. He could only brace himself and continue. Otherwise, if Eldest Brother recovered, he didn't dare to imagine the consequences.
"Bastard!" Shao Dengyun's hair and beard stood on end. He was unable to restrain his anger. He rushed forward and kicked fiercely.
However, Zhong Yangxu waved his sleeves and used his transcendence energy to push the kick away. Zhong Yangxu grabbed Shao Dengyun.
"Men! Drag him out! Drag him out! Chop him up for me! Chop him up for me! " Shao Dengyun roared in grief. The sorrow and despair on his face were indescribable. His heart was almost crying blood. The thing he was most worried about and most afraid of still happened.
He asked Eldest Brother to promise to let the three of them live, but the three of them refused to let Eldest Brother off!
Fratricide still happened in the end, and it happened right in front of his eyes.
Someone immediately rushed in from outside. Seeing that they wanted to kill Third Young Master, they all looked at each other in dismay. What should they do? Looking at the provincial governor's expression, he was obviously in a fit of anger!
At this moment, Ruan Shi also rushed out and knelt on the ground. She hugged her son and cried bitterly, "Old Master, what's wrong? It's all because I, as his mother, didn't teach him well. If you want to kill him, kill me as well!"
