Chapter 631 Death! It is only natural that a person must pay with his life.

Sun Shan gave Gui Ge'er a look.

Gui Ge'er understood immediately and took out another stack of paper from his arms.

County Magistrate Tang was shocked when he saw this. What was this? Was it another crime committed by Yang Xiong?

Why didn't you take them out all at once, but in batches?

Gui Ge'er glanced at County Magistrate Tang and read according to the content on the paper: "Tang Junyi, courtesy name Zhichuan, was born in the previous dynasty. In the 27th year of Taiqi, he passed the imperial examination in Yingtian Prefecture..."

Gui Ge'er read out Magistrate Tang's life story one by one. As he was reading, Magistrate Tang suddenly lost his temper and shouted, "Mr. Sun, what are you doing!"

At this moment, County Magistrate Tang had to take it seriously, as Sun Shan was really well prepared.

Such detailed information cannot be found without strength. Sun Shan not only found out the general events since his birth, and his children, grandchildren and grandchildren told him everything, but also found out that he broke off the engagement and married someone else.

He also found out some key things during his time as the county magistrate of Pingshun County, and even found out things that he didn't know about.

He was doing well in Pingshun County, but was transferred to the remote Huangyang County. It turned out that a high-ranking official had his eyes on the official position in Pingshun County, so he used the excuse of transferring him away to take over the position.

When County Magistrate Tang heard about his previous resume, he could accept it, but when he heard that he was transferred for this reason, he was a little scared.

How come Sun Shan knows more about this than I do?

Isn’t he a juren from a small county?

How could there be such a large amount of resources that could be investigated so clearly?

County Magistrate Tang was a little panicked. Mr. Sun had done very good preparations. With this, he would have a chance of defeating not only Yang Xiong but also himself.

County Magistrate Tang had been an official for many years and was considered a veteran in the lower-middle level of officialdom. He tried hard to calm himself, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

He said slowly, "Mr. Sun, what do you want to do? I don't think I have offended you. Why are you holding on to me?"

Sun Shan shook his head and said, "Master Tang, my target has always been Yang Xiong, not you."

County Magistrate Tang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but then he tensed up again and said, "Mr. Sun, what do you want Yang Xiong to do?"

Sun Shan looked calm and said calmly, "Die!"

County Magistrate Tang was stunned for a moment, thinking he had misheard, and asked uncertainly, "Mr. Sun, what did you say?"

Sun Shan still said calmly: "Death! Killing someone means paying with one's life!"

County Magistrate Tang lost his composure and looked carefully at Sun Shan's expression. He was very calm, but his words were so "cruel".

County Magistrate Tang immediately shouted, "Mr. Sun, Yang Xiong murdered someone, it's all your one-sided story. We need to investigate this matter."

County Magistrate Tang was a little anxious. It seemed that Mr. Sun was really not going to let Yang Xiong go.

Yang Xiong was not only the so-called brother-in-law of County Magistrate Tang, but also the one whom he had taken care of since childhood. He was the so-called late-born son of his father-in-law, so he was indulged and became so frivolous.

County Magistrate Tang and his concubine Yang had a verbal engagement since childhood, but later on, in order to have money for his studies, he married the daughter of a wealthy businessman.

With financial support, County Magistrate Tang finally passed the imperial examination and, with the help of money from a wealthy businessman, he was able to get a government position.

Everything was fine originally, except that the rich businessman's daughter had never gotten pregnant. Later, she met Yang, who had been unmarried for a long time, and she took her in as her husband.

Yang was also very capable, as all of County Magistrate Tang's children were hers.

As a mother's status is enhanced by her son, Yang's position is as solid as a rock, and even the principal wife has to look at Yang's face.

As for County Magistrate Tang divorcing his wife and supporting Yang to take the throne, that was impossible. After all, County Magistrate Tang was a scholar and he knew that scholars had to abide by certain rules.

No matter how successful a concubine is, it is impossible for her to become a wife. If you say or do so, you will be laughed at by the whole world.

Because the Yang family had a strong position in the Tang family, as the saying goes, if one person succeeds, the whole family will benefit, and the Yang family also rose with County Magistrate Tang.

Yang Xiong was young and favored, and Yang Shi also doted on him, so Yang Xiong followed Yang Shi and worked for her.

On the surface, the principal wife was in charge of the backyard of County Magistrate Tang, but in reality, she had been sidelined by the Yang family. Naturally, Yang Xiong became even more lawless.

Sun Shan said coldly: "Master Tang, I have always been a steady and cautious person and never do anything without confidence. Yang Xiong must pay for his murder. This is the law of nature and is required by the laws of Daqian.

"Sir Tang, I came here today to tell you that tomorrow I will go and beat the drum to appeal for justice. Sir, you must be prepared. If you bend the law for personal gain, fail to distinguish right from wrong, and condone evil, you will only feed the evil and cause trouble for yourself, then you will bear the consequences, Sir Tang."

County Magistrate Tang was shocked. What did Sun Shan mean by this? Was he prepared to fight to the death?

Is it possible to do something like this, that one would become an enemy of an official just for the sake of a so-called former classmate?

County Magistrate Tang still maintained his composure and said, "Mr. Sun, do you know the consequences of doing this? If I am not doing well, how can you be doing well? You are still young, you should focus on studying, your future is bright."

Sun Shan did not refute Magistrate Tang, but said: "Sir Tang, I remember that the previous magistrate reclaimed wasteland and cultivated land day after day, leaving a lot of government farmland in Huangyang County. Sir Tang has been here for only two years, and the government farmland has been reduced by 70%. I don't know why the government farmland has become private farmland?"

County Magistrate Tang was shocked again, because Sun Shan was coming for him.

Then he thought that his lawyer was well-versed in the laws and did things perfectly. They were all looking for loopholes within the framework of the Daqian laws, and even if the official land became private land, they could not do anything to him.

Thinking of this, County Magistrate Tang’s nervousness dissipated a lot.

Sun Shan continued, "Yang Xiong pretended to be Mr. Tang's brother-in-law. How dare a concubine's brother call himself Mr. Tang's brother-in-law? I remember that Mrs. Tang's brothers are all in Yingtian Prefecture. Mr. Tang, do you think so?"

After a pause, he continued, "Master Tang, one day the young master of your family went shopping with Yang and actually called Yang mother. Master Tang, did you know about this?"

Sun Shan knew that to bring down an official, he had to start from the officialdom and the backyard.

In the officialdom, County Magistrate Tang does have some abilities. He does his work very meticulously and generally gets the job done. As for the backyard, it is much worse. It is not that Lord Tang does not care, but that the backyard does not fully comply with County Magistrate Tang's wishes.

Yang, a concubine, relied on her ability to give birth and did things without any rules. Especially when she came to Huangyang County, where the emperor was far away, she acted like a monkey in a mountain without a tiger.

County Magistrate Tang was the king of Huangyang County, so naturally Yang could do whatever he wanted. As for his wife, she had no children at all. Besides, County Magistrate Tang married her for money, and since he didn't divorce her and she was still alive and well, he could be considered a benevolent man.

Sun Dingnan and Sun Dali kept an eye on Magistrate Tang's backyard all day long, so they naturally knew how arrogant Yang was.

Moreover, the third son who followed Magistrate Tang to office called Yang "mother" without any scruples, which was a violation of a taboo, whether major or minor.

If someone takes advantage of it, it will have a ripple effect.

As it happens, Sun Shan is the one who has the heart

Sun Shan smiled and said, "Master Tang, what did you do in Pingshun County? Do you need me to tell you one by one?"

County Magistrate Tang stared at Sun Shan closely, feeling extremely panicked. He thought Sun Shan was trying to kill him.

No, it should be said to deal with Yang Xiong. As long as you are partial to him, you will not only deal with Yang Xiong, but also deal with him.

This is a naked threat.
