Chapter 42: Pan Mansion Changes Owner, Undercurrent Surges

After experiencing chaos, Wen Anguo did not drive Mr. Pan San who broke into the back mansion out, but instead led him to the hall and sat down with the guest of honor.

He picked up the warm tea and took a sip. His face turned pale and felt a sense of terror.

"Mr. Pan, you must be very clear about what is the crime. It is not possible for human resources. How can I help you?"

Wen Anguo looked embarrassed. He didn't need to be so polite, but now Mr. Pan died unexpectedly. Although Mr. Pan was young, he became the only legitimate male in the Pan family in Yuanning City. In other words, Mr. Pan San is now the head of the Pan family. Even if he is the prefect of the first government, he must be concerned about this identity.

"Uncle Wen," Young Master Pan San put down his cup and shook his head, "You have always been in good terms with your father, so your nephew will not go around the circle. The Pan Mansion has suffered a disaster, and the backbone has disappeared. It has long been a mess. It shouldn't have caused many troubles, but last night's catastrophe offended a force. If it is not handled well, let alone the Pan Mansion, even the entire Yuanning City will suffer!"

Wen Anguo frowned when he heard this: "The whole Yuanning Mansion is going to be in trouble? What's going on? Who did you offend?"

"Shang Lingdao!" After saying this name, Young Master Pan San showed a little panic in his eyes, "Last night, the successor of Shang Lingdao died in the Pan Mansion! The reason why the Taoist priest of the four great Taoist temples lived in my house was because of the successor of Shang Ling!"

"What did you say!" Wen Anguo jumped up from his seat suddenly, "The successor of Shangling Dao? Could it be Mr. Tang who passed by a few days ago? Didn't he go north to leave Shu? How could he live in your mansion?"

"Mr. Tang delayed his itinerary because of some things, so he came back to the city. Because he didn't want to make a big fuss, he didn't notify the master." Seeing Wen Anguo's face dark, Young Master Pan changed his mind immediately, "This matter has also been known to the young master. He also accompanied Mr. Tang in the city two days ago and went out for a trip."

"Qinglong knew about this? He also had fun with Mr. Tang? Alas." Wen Anguo sighed.

Seeing this, Young Master Pan San continued, "You are not blamed on Qinglong for this matter. He said that although Master Tang is very capable, he should not contact the imperial officials. My father also said that it is best not to let you know about this matter, so as to save the difficulties."

In all dynasties, officials and imperial examinations were dominated by Confucianism, but Confucianism did not speak of strange powers and chaos, and emphasized governance of the country and pacifying the world. It relied on the vast trend rather than the Taoist magic. When it came to the Darui Dynasty, Buddhism and Taoism occupied the mountains and land, but did not donate grain and pay taxes. The officialdom based on Confucianism was mostly dissatisfied, and gradually excluded people from the outside world. Making friends with such people may be anecdotes among the people, but the officialdom in the Shilin Kingdom was mostly despised.

But the spiritual path was very powerful. If Wen Anguo knew that Tang Yi lived in the city, he would be negligent if he didn't go to meet him. However, if he had a tribute and passed it on, it would be unfavorable for his career.

After thinking through the reason, Wen Anguo just sighed and knew that his son and his old friend were also kind-hearted, but now that Tang Yi died, this kind-heartedness may cause future troubles.

He could only try to think about it as well as possible: "After all, this matter was an accident, and it was not ordinary people who took action. I think I would not vent my anger when I came to the Lingxian Sect. Besides, your Pan family has been officials for generations, and this is also a magistrate, which is the normal way. They are powerful in the spiritual way, but they are magic heretics and dare not oppose the court."

"I'm not afraid of ten thousand, but I'm afraid of it. Besides, this happened in the Pan Mansion, and our Pan family can't leave any connections." Young Master Pan San shook his head and glanced at Wen Anguo, "Uncle Wen, the incident happened in Ningyuan City, this..."

Wen Anguo also knew the seriousness of the matter, and his face changed continuously: "The monsters that were attacking were not comparable to human power, and where can ordinary people provoke monsters? Maybe it was the monsters that Tang Yi himself provoked, and he returned halfway!"

"The words are the reason, I'm afraid that Shang Lingdao will be unreasonable. I heard that Tang Yi is the legitimate grandson of an old god in Shang Lingdao, and it is very involved." Seeing that what he said was almost done, Mr. Pan San finally expressed his original intention, "I have to give an explanation for this matter. In my opinion, I might as well give some compensation and make some gestures, at least to show our attitude."

"Oh?" Hearing this, Wen Anguo's heart moved, and his eyes narrowed slightly at Master Pan San, "What does the nephew mean?"

Young Master Pan San said bluntly: "The Pan Mansion will pay the money, but just so, Shang Lingdao may not be satisfied, so you might as well find some people, deduct the crime and hand it over to Shang Lingdao for disposal."

After hearing this, Wen Anguo calmed down, took a sip of tea, and asked, "What's the charge? This is for no reason, even the government cannot arrest people at will."

"Uncle Wen doesn't need to do anything. As long as you can turn a blind eye and leave it to your nephew to do it. You will inevitably come and visit afterwards." As he spoke, Young Master Pan San wiped his hand on the table. When he lifted it up, there was an extra land deed on the table.

"Well? What are you and my family are family friends. Since your nephew has taken care of you, I should cooperate with you with all my strength." Wen Anguo calmly raised his sleeve and swept the land deed disappeared.

……………………

After a stick of incense, Young Master Pan San walked out of the back door of the prefect's office, and the followers who had been waiting there immediately stepped forward.

"Young Master, what's wrong?" The entourage looked thirty or forty years old, with a pair of triangular eyes and a humble smile on his face.

"Your method is really effective, and Wen Anguo has agreed," Mr. Pan San nodded, "But, can I really control my family business?"

"Young Master, the master died. The second master, the eldest master and the second master are far away in the capital. This business should be under your control. What status are those concubines? It is just that you want to take advantage of the troubled waters when you are young. However, now you have the acquiescence of the prefect, how can they compete with you? Just one sentence, the masters and guards in the mansion will take action, and they will be able to remove their minions one by one in less than two days."

Mr. Pan San nodded with satisfaction: "Well, you have a good idea, but don't forget that going to the Spiritual Path is not easy to mess with. People who are guilty should choose more and arrest everything they can think of, so that our sincerity can be reflected."

"Don't worry, I, Zheng Yan, have always tried my best to do my best!" The man with triangular eyes nodded quickly. When he bent down, his eyes showed joy, knowing that he could count the trust of the new master of the Pan family.

"Liu Yue, Liu Yue, you were still under my head a few days ago and were trusted by the young master. Unexpectedly, now the feng shui is changing, and I, Zheng Yan, seized the opportunity. This time, the young master was taking advantage of the power of the prefect, but I wanted to take advantage of the power of the young master!"
