Shipin Dalizheng

Chapter 15: Unimpeded Eloquence

The man surnamed Tang showed a look of disapproval, and the other young man in green brocade clothes frowned unnaturally.

The young man surnamed Tang said, "Mr. Rong, you're evading the point. It's completely unreasonable. Brother Zheng and I don't want to get involved in your family affairs. Today, we're just talking about this prey. We had our sights set on this wild boar a long time ago, and our servants were chasing it into the encirclement to hunt it. Who knew we'd be intercepted by your men along the way? Don't you deserve an explanation?"

Rong Tang whispered to Rong San beside him, "Can these guys be beaten?"

He calculated in his mind that these three people would have to formulate a battle plan to hunt a wild boar, so their fighting power should not be high, at least much worse than Rong Si and Rong Wu who killed a wild boar in a few seconds. If they fought, they would definitely be able to pin each other to the ground.

The only thing he was unsure about was the background of these two people and whether they could fight.

Rong San actually knew these people.

"The Tang guy is called Tang Buyun, the second son of a sixth-rank official. He was adopted by his uncle's family. His Majesty has promised him a lower baronial title. It's okay to beat him. But Zheng Changning can't be beaten. He's the second son of Prime Minister Zheng. Although he's a bastard, he's very favored and a captain in the Rong family army."

Rong Tang's mind was working rapidly. Zheng Changning, as a captain of the Rong family army, was close to Jin Yaoyang simply because Jin Yaoyang was very close to the title of Earl of Jian'an, and he had a great chance of becoming the leader of the Rong family army.

What if Jin Yaoyang cannot become the Earl of Jian'an, and cannot reach the Rong family army?

"Mr. Tang, what you said is completely unreasonable. You came into my backyard and hunted down my pigs. That's robbery. Why are you asking me to explain? Shouldn't you apologize and compensate me?"

Tang Buyun said angrily, "This is clearly a wild boar, what do you mean by your pig?"

"Whether it's wild or not is not up to you to decide."

"Do you have the final say?"

"Of course." Rong Tang said, "I am the current patriarch of the Rong family. This piece of forest is my family's private property. Every blade of grass and every tree in it belongs to me. Do you agree? Or do you think that my family's property does not belong to me, but to this person whose biological father is unknown, whose surname is currently Jin..."

Jin Yaoyang was furious. "You wild boy, who are you calling your father unknown? My father is Jin Shizhao, a third-rank minister."

"Your mother gave birth to you through an unmarried union. This only proves that you were born by your mother, but it doesn't prove that your father is your father. This matter needs to be verified."

After all, Jin Yaoyang was nailed to the pillar of shame as a son born out of wedlock.

"Rong Tang!"

Jin Yaoyang's eyes were bloodshot and he hated Rong Tang to death. His bloodshot eyes looked like he wanted to eat him.

Rong Tang said to Tang Buyun and Zheng Changning, "You two are both well-educated and well-educated young men from aristocratic families. Aren't you afraid of ruining your reputation and getting criticized by others by associating with such a scumbag with a flawed background?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Buyun and Zheng Changning unconsciously moved a little further away. Then they felt awkward again and looked at each other, unsure how to respond.

The family reputation, once this hat is put on, they will have no way to find a place to retaliate.

Zheng Changning was sitting on his horse in a daze. Suddenly, his horse neighed and ran to another path in an instant. Zheng Changning pulled the reins and scolded him, but the horse was stimulated by something and could not be stopped. It ran farther and farther away.

Tang Buyun was dumbfounded, "Master Zheng, Master Zheng..."

Zheng Changning's voice came from afar, "My horse is frightened, wait for me to come back..."

Why did you come back? You were blown away by the wind.

Tang Buyun glared at Rong Tang, "What did you do to Master Zheng's horse? He's the Prime Minister's son. You can't be held responsible if anything happens to him."

Rong Tang touched his chin!

He didn't do anything! However, once Zheng Changning left, the remaining two were said to be able to be beaten.

He waved his hand, "Catch him. This illegitimate son was lying in front of my mother's coffin yesterday, pretending to be a filial son, and he didn't even attend the funeral. Now he's asked to kowtow at my stepmother's grave to show his filial piety. Isn't that too much?"

Rong San said loudly, "That's not too much. It's just as it should be."

He took two steps forward, and amid the exclamations of the servants, he grabbed Jin Yaoyang by the back of the neck and pulled him over.

Jin Yaoyang only knew some mediocre Kung Fu, and in front of a master like Rong San, he could only be abused. He was pinched to the point where he couldn't move, and he rolled his eyes and gasped for breath.

The servants he brought with him were terrified and shouted, "What are you doing? Let my eldest young master go. My master will not let you go."

"Catch them all. They are all servants in the mansion, yet they disrespect the mistress. Make them all kneel at the grave."

Rong Si and Rong Wu heard the noise and rushed over to catch the man, scaring the others into hiding. "We are servants of the Tang family."

Tang Buyun was stunned. This wasn't right! They were the sons of an official family, and now they were about to be arrested in this village?

He looked at Rong Tang in disbelief, "How dare you?"

Rong Tang spread his hands and said, "Mr. Tang, asking him to kowtow at his stepmother's grave to show his filial piety is his duty. Don't you think it's wrong?"

Tang Buyun was stunned. This reason was very convincing and he couldn't refute it.

"Mr. Tang, now let me tell you. You followed this bastard into my private forest, stole my pigs, and injured my servants. What should I do?"

Tang Buyun was shocked. "Who did I hurt?"

"Allow for four or five."

Rong Si and Rong Wu had just knocked Jin Yaoyang's servant to the ground, unable to move. Upon hearing this, they looked at each other, slowly lay down on the ground, and cried out loudly, "Ouch, ouch, it hurts so much."

The people of Rongjia Village reacted, unable to conceal their astonishment, and quickly put on their acting skills.

"Rong Si, what's wrong with you?"

"Rong Wu, hold on."

There was a flurry of anxiety, seemingly greeting Rong Si and Rong Wu, but in fact they dispersed and surrounded Tang Buyun and his servant.

Tang Buyun stepped back, "How dare you...?"

Rong Tang said, "Mr. Tang, although you are the son of a sixth-rank official, I, Rong Tang, am also the grandson of the Earl of Jian'an and the nephew of Concubine Rong. I am not so easily bullied. For what happened today, you just need to apologize and pay for the medical expenses, and that will be it. Otherwise, I will report this to His Majesty and ask for justice on my behalf."

Tang Buyun was stunned. His servants kept saying, "You are bullying us. It was clearly them who beat us."

"You are thieves! You don't have to pay me. Let my men fight you back and I'll let you go."

Now it was Rong San's turn to appear. He twisted his neck, making a few cracking sounds. He reached out and grabbed the stick in the hand of the person next to him, held both ends with both hands, and with a force, the stick broke into two pieces.

Tang Buyun took a breath of cold air. His bones might not be that hard.

Fear filled his body. He retreated while shouting, "You can't hit me. I'm your brother-in-law, and my sister Tang Tiantian is your fiancée. If you hit me, you'll be committing a grave offense."

Rong Tang froze for a moment. What the hell? A fiancée?

He reacted and said, "I don't believe it. If you are really my brother-in-law, would you help that illegitimate son to bully my people?"

Tang Buyun looked embarrassed and said in defense, "Who made you disappear as soon as you were born? My family thought you died outside a long time ago."
