Chapter 338: Sorry, you thousands of people are surrounded by her alone

The Prefect looked honest and cowardly, doing everything low to beg for mercy for his wife and son.

"The official knows that the discipline was not strict, and I ask the Princess to look at the fact that the official led the people to surrender voluntarily and show some leniency."

Tang An didn't speak, her fingers tapping the table rhythmically; every time it sounded, the Prefect's heart trembled with unease.

"Wukong, tell me, what did you find when you came back with the servant?"

Sun Wukong slapped his forehead, "Oh my, I almost let this Prefect fool me."

"Master, this Prefect's wife is truly infuriating."

"She learned from the servant that you, the Great Tang Princess, had arrived in person, and she hurriedly wanted to have someone take her son and escape."

"Who knew her son, taking advantage of the chaos in the house, actually broke into the woman's room, wanting to take the opportunity to..."

Sun Wukong was too embarrassed to continue when he got to this point.

"In short, this whole family was ruined by that Prefect's wife."

"To let her son get his wish and make the raw rice cooked into porridge, she even went so far as to stage that scene at the door to stall for time for her son."

"Old Sun really doesn't know how she could love her son to such a point of confusion, not distinguishing black from white."

Tang An also understood; what could be seen before her was nothing more than the Prefect's wife causing chaos in the Prefect's mansion.

First, there was the knocking over of the Jade Emperor's offerings, and later, the locking up of her own son's forced abduction of another man's wife.

And today's disrespect toward her, all of which showed that the Prefect's wife was an unbridled shrew, a person who truly didn't care about the height of the sky or the depth of the earth.

But is that really the case?

Tang An looked at the Prefect, "From beginning to end, the Prefect has been begging this Palace to let your wife and son go."

"Yes, yes, I ask the Princess to show mercy."

Tang An chuckled, "But the Prefect seems to have never mentioned your own faults from beginning to end."

It seems that from start to finish, he was a forced, cowardly, and incompetent good person, perfectly hiding himself in this matter.

It seems that no matter how Tang An punishes, it should be the Prefect's wife and son who are punished, but it can't reach the Prefect himself.

But he doesn't care how his wife and son are arrogant, and he doesn't care how his son bullies men and women.

Boundless indulgence led to the great disaster in Fengxian Prefecture; he, the Prefect, is the greatest culprit!

"Since the story the Prefect wanted this Palace to hear has been finished."

"Then next, it's this Palace's turn to tell the Prefect a story."

Tang An stood up, her hands behind her back.

"The three-year drought in Fengxian Prefecture, was it heaven's will or man-made?"

"Why didn't it start a minute earlier or a minute later, but just happened to knock over the offering table when the Jade Emperor came?"

"The three-year drought in Fengxian Prefecture, with no harvest. You, the Prefect, were still living in luxury, with full granaries. You kept posting notices looking for people of the Dao, but in three years, you couldn't find a single capable person who could reach the heavens."

"And coincidentally, the three-year drought was solved when this Palace arrived. And the first thing you called me when you saw me was Master."

"But if you don't know this Palace, why did you kneel and worship in fear?"

"If you knew, why didn't you kneel and worship immediately, and address this Palace as Princess first?"

"You, a Prefect, actually know more news than the monarch ahead."

"Prefect, oh Prefect? Isn't this strange?"

The Prefect, Lady Shangguan, wanted to explain, but Tang An gave him a sharp look, and he had to shut his mouth.

"Next, let's talk about the servant who escaped back quietly after the rain."

"What exactly did the servant say, and who instructed it, that made the Prefect's wife think this Palace was the fox spirit you brought home?"

The Prefect looked at Tang An's questioning eyes and felt a heavy stone in his heart, pressing him so he couldn't breathe.

"The official... the official doesn't know."

"The official will definitely be strict in the future..."

Tang An tapped her lips with her finger, signaling him not to speak anymore.

"Did you do this to make this Princess retreat in the face of difficulties? Or in a fit of rage, count all the blame on your wife?"

The Prefect kept wiping his sweat, the cold sweat on his forehead couldn't stop.

"And then your son, the young master of Fengxian Prefecture."

"If you, his biological father, could teach him well, if you really loved the people like your children, then how did you raise such a son?"

"He said that your Shangguan family is the king of Fengxian Prefecture. How was this concept formed?"

"Does the Prefect want to say again that your wife spoiled your son?"

"The official... the official..."

Tang An sat back in her grand master chair, "The Prefect loves the people like his children, yet indulges his son in forced abduction of women."

"And knowing it was wrong, he imprisoned the couple in the mansion for three years!"

"Not three hours, not three days, not three months, but three whole years!"

"You, Lady Shangguan, how do you have the face to pretend to be a virtuous official who loves the people?"

The Prefect wanted to argue, but he also knew that Tang An had seen through his scheme, and any further argument would be useless.

"I ask the Princess to forgive my sins."

"The official has only this one son, and having a child in my old age, I indulged him too much, leading to a great mistake."

"I ask the Princess to punish me if you want, but spare my son's life!"

He kowtowed to Tang An, kowtowing until his forehead bled.

Tang An looked at this bitter meat scheme with a smile, "Does the Prefect know that during these three years of drought, when many people kowtowed to heaven asking for rain, they were just as sincere as you are now, and kowtowed until their heads were broken."

The Prefect's body stiffened, and he looked up at Tang An.

"Princess, can you really not leave a way for the official to live?"

"Does the Princess know the principle of not driving a dog into a dead end?"

Tang An's smile deepened, but her eyes grew colder.

"What? Does the Prefect want to take action against this Palace?"

The Prefect crawled up from the ground, the sinister poison in his eyes no longer hidden.

"Since the Princess won't leave a way for the official to live, then the official won't be polite."

The Prefect clapped his hands, the ground shook, and thousands of soldiers rushed into the Prefect's mansion, surrounding it completely.

"Hehehe..."

Tang An really couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"You really have your urethra connected to your brain, using your bladder to think."

"And you ate too many red beans early in the morning, you're just looking to die."

Tang An stood up and took back her grand master chair.

"Jiuyue."

Jiuyue nodded, and suddenly nine fox tails covered the sky and the sun, surrounding the entire Prefect's mansion.

And all the soldiers in the Prefect's mansion had faint pink in their eyes, standing blankly in place, not moving at all.

"Sorry, your thousands of soldiers are surrounded by our auspicious one alone."

"What other tricks does the Prefect have?"

The Prefect slumped on the ground, his heart heaving violently, a sense of powerlessness arose, his hands and feet limp and weak.

From the moment she could easily make the Dragon King rain, he should have realized that these people could not be provoked.

But one thing after another, how did it get to this point? ===== CHAPTER 339 =====
