Chapter 136 [Internal Rules]
At night, He Ping and Wang Hao secretly returned to Taiping Town, which was the town they escaped during the day. A branch of the Pang family was in this town. During the day, the men in black they met were all thugs guarding the courtyard there. As for the black-faced man Pang Wu, he came here from the Pang family's own family. Taiping Town is a border town, which is very important for the news of blockade. Now that it is impossible to tamper with the border guards, such a town is even more important.
Judging from the situation of entering the Wu'an territory, the guards on the border have not been replaced by the Pang family. Otherwise, the moment He Ping takes the Zhao Mansion token to enter the Wu'an territory, he will become the key surveillance object. In fact, He Ping did not feel that there were any followers around him. With his current perception ability, even a master who is skilled in concealment would be difficult not to expose any breath. If even He Ping hides it, such a master would really kill whoever he wants.
Although there is no problem with the guards of the border, He Ping still did not plan to let Wang Hao go to Qingyang Corridor through the border. Now that they are making such a fuss in Taiping Town, the Pang family must be highly alert. Wang Hao, a son of the Wang family, is too sensitive. The Pang family will definitely ambush and patrol near the border. Without He Ping's protection, it will be difficult for Wang Hao to leave Wu'an Corridor alone, and He Ping does not have the time to protect him specifically, so it is safer to keep him by his side. Besides, He Ping also needs a guide.
The two secretly sneaked back to Taiping Town. As He Ping imagined, Taiping Town and within a large area around, the Pang family sent people to search, and the alert level was even higher than He Ping imagined, because he never expected that Pang Wu would lie with the men in black for his own sake, lying that a large number of masters entered Taiping Town, rescued Wang Hao, and injured him with powerful hidden weapons.
There was no ordinary pedestrian in Taiping Town. The winery that was supposed to be open for business for a while on the roadside was also pitch black at this time. The street was covered with black men patrolling with lanterns in groups of three or three. The big Pang word on the lantern explained their identity. Seeing this scene, while wondering why the Pang family was so vigilant to just two people, she also lamented that the Pang family was indeed not simple. A branch in a small town could mobilize so many people. So what was the situation like for our family?
The conspicuous white robe on Wang Hao has long been replaced. At this time, like He Ping, he was wearing a camouflage uniform mainly in black. In this dark night, as long as he was not caught on the face, others could not notice their existence. Needless to say, He Ping's skills, Wang Hao was light-headed. Even if he had no experience in infiltration, under He Ping's leadership, the two entered Taiping Town without any obstacles and came directly outside the mansion of the Pang family branch.
The Pang family's mansion in Taiping Town is naturally not as good as the Zhao Mansion in Qingyang City. The Tianhua Empire's aristocratic system is very strict. Although it can be hereditary titles, if there is no merit, the titles obtained by later generations will be demoted. Corresponding to this are small nobles, even civilians. If they have enough merit, they can obtain higher-level titles and become high-ranking nobles. Unlike Auckland, the nobles of Tianhua are always changing their blood. There are always nobles who decline and gradually become civilians, and new nobles will always be born.
Another manifestation of the strict aristocratic system is the strict hierarchy. Aristocrats of different levels also have different restrictions on the construction of mansions, clothing, as well as carriages, ceremonial guards, personal soldiers, etc. The Wang family and the Zhao family are the top families in Tianhua, and the Pang family is inferior to each other, not to mention a branch of Taiping Town. If the construction here is too large, the Pang family will definitely be criticized by the censors.
On the wall of the Pang family's mansion, He Ping and Wang Hao were lying quietly. This was already the inner courtyard of the mansion. Here they could see the main hall of the mansion. At this time, the interior of the mansion was brightly lit, and many people came and went in and out. No one could sleep tonight, and could not catch Wang Hao, and could not solve the problem of those masters with powerful hidden weapons. It was a big trouble for the Pang family.
In comparison, the alert level inside the Pang family mansion is not high. There are only some guard posts in key places and some patrol teams in the courtyard. It looks the same as the Zhao family usually does. It seems that the Pang family must have never expected Wang Hao to come here. He Ping and Wang Hao basically did not take too much effort and did not alarm anyone, so they came here smoothly.
The reason why He Ping chose the first stop at the Pang family's mansion is very simple. The most important thing now is not to deal with the Pang family. Although the Pang family is strong, the comprehensive strength of all aspects is actually worse than other lord families. If the Wang family was not prepared and the Pang family was well prepared, they would not be the opponent of the Wang family at all. Therefore, it would not be difficult to kill the Pang family.
The key now is that the Pang family blocked the news. If the outside world does not get the information from Wu'an leader, and if the rashly sends troops to attack the Pang family, it will cause irreversible consequences. For all major families, there are also "internal rules" that ordinary people do not know. If others know about this, if the Pang family has killed the Wang family, the Pang family will become the new lord of Wu'an leader. No one will stand up for the Wang family, and the Zhao family is no exception.
Therefore, the most important thing now is not to kill the "power" of the Pang family, but to "reason". As long as the truth happening here is spread, the Pang family will become the target of public criticism. At that time, there is no need to take the initiative to find fault with the Zhao family. The other lords around and the court above will suppress the Pang family, and the title of the Pang family will be immediately eliminated. In this way, the Pang family will be a large piece of fat in the eyes of other families and will soon be completely destroyed.
It seems simple to spread the news, but in this world where the civilization level is only level 2, the spread of the news is too slow. If it is general information, it will take a long time to be well known to everyone. So what He Ping needs now is not only to spread the news that the Wang family was suppressed by the Pang family, but also to more useful news. At that time, what is spread is not only information, but also "public opinion"!
As long as it rises to the level of public opinion, this matter will be much easier, but the question is whether there is anything that can be regarded as public opinion in the Pang family. He Ping and Wang Hao ventured to the Pang family to explore this point, but now it seems that it is just a little confused and busy, and there is no other problem.
"Um?"
Just when He Ping was a little disappointed and wanted to continue to observe in depth, a person walked out of the courtyard beside him. The man ignored the busyness in the mansion and walked straight to the main hall. The main hall looked like several people from the senior management of the Pang family saw the people, and they all stood up to greet him, and seemed to be explaining the current situation to the person.
