Chapter 339: Don't drive a dog into a dead end? No, not eating dog meat is my greatest mercy

Tang An walked up to the Prefect and stepped on his hand.

"Ah!!!"

"Princess, Princess, show mercy, show mercy!"

Tang An didn't loosen her grip, but instead added some force.

"This Palace said long ago, no matter if your Shangguan family is a dragon or a snake, you have to coil up for me in front of this Palace."

"As for driving a dog into a dead end, I've already driven it, and not eating dog meat is already this Palace's greatest mercy."

The Prefect, Lady Shangguan, was in too much pain to speak, experiencing for the first time the feeling of being unable to lift his head due to power.

It wasn't until Tang An lifted her foot that Lady Shangguan lay on the ground in pain, blowing on her hand with the skin stepped off, grimacing in pain.

"In addition, this Palace must remind the Prefect."

"Now that Fengxian Prefecture has returned to the territory of our Great Tang, this Palace, as a Great Tang Princess, naturally has the right to deal with your family."

Tang An walked to the door and looked at the square sky in the courtyard.

"They say that spoiling a child is like killing a child; since the Prefect and the Prefect's wife want to kill their child, then this Palace will do it for you two."

The Prefect crawled up and crawled to Tang An to beg for mercy.

"No, no, Princess."

"That is my son, the official having a child in old age is truly..."

Before the Prefect could finish his words, he was frozen by Sun Wukong.

Tang An turned around, looking down at Lady Shangguan with contempt.

"Your power could protect him, and it protected him for three years. Then from today on, this Palace's power will make him wish he were dead. He will suffer all kinds of torture and be executed after autumn."

"Of course, this Palace doesn't like to implicate the nine clans and drag innocent people to prison to die."

"But everyone in your Shangguan family, including the servants in the house, anyone who has participated in this matter, and those who bully men and women and do evil by relying on power."

"This Palace can guarantee that not a single one will be spared."

Hearing Tang An's words, the Prefect slumped to the ground, burning with anxiety, and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Before this, he had never thought that his power would be displaced. He thought that if he was muddy enough, he could pick himself clean.

But coincidentally, the people he encountered were not mortals. Their power was even more overwhelming.

He lost, and he lost completely.

From today on, the once glorious Shangguan family was left with only desolation overnight.

After Tang An announced the crimes of his family, she threw them into prison, waiting for Great Tang officials to take over before sentencing them for their crimes.

Of course, that's what was said. But for prisoners that the Princess specifically instructed to be taken care of, if he deserved to die, who could protect him?

Money, power, status, they were all gone, and they would have no connection to them in this life.

With this matter settled, Tang An's group stayed in the city for half a month before waiting for the Great Tang officials who came under orders.

During these days, Tang An had sold all the money in the Prefect's mansion and converted it into cash. And this money would be used to compensate the people of Fengxian Prefecture, as well as for building roads and bridges in Fengxian Prefecture.

In short, Tang An didn't take a single cent of this money, and she absolutely wouldn't allow Great Tang officials to embezzle a single cent.

When things were finished, Tang An inquired from the prison and planned to continue heading west.

"Master." Sun Wukong, Yang Jian, and Nezha came to meet her.

"Did that old man confess to Master?"

Nezha walked over and silently draped a cloak over Tang An.

Tang An naturally took the cloak and draped it over herself, "The weather is really getting cold."

But her expression seemed to be talking about more than just the weather.

Tang An tightened the cloak on her body, "He refused to say anything at first, and his wife didn't know anything."

"But I could see that his son is his greatest weakness right now. So before anyone could even torture his son, he confessed."

"The cause of everything was that three years ago, he met a temple on the road and saw the Buddha manifest, only then did he learn that his son had a death tribulation."

"Only by following the Buddha's guidance could he avoid the disaster."

"Even the time and minute he knocked over the Jade Emperor's offering table later was guided by the Buddha in his dream."

"To help his son avoid the death tribulation, he didn't hesitate to smash the offering table, holding onto a fluke mentality, implicating the tens of thousands of people in Fengxian Prefecture."

"To spoil his son, knowing right from wrong, he still locked up the couple for more than three years to avoid leaking the news."

Tang An sighed, it really is that everything in the world, when full, will lose, and when full, will overflow.

No fatherly love, and too much fatherly love, can both ruin a child's life.

"He also said that last year, the Buddha manifested in his home, saying that the disaster in Fengxian Prefecture could be solved. The person who solves the disaster is the Destined One from the Great Tang East."

"And what he had to do, and the most critical thing, was to call me Master when he first saw me."

While speaking, Tang An paced to the stairs and looked down, the people walking on the road in twos and threes.

"Actually, this matter is something the Jade Emperor followed the Heavenly Dao to do, and it was also to punish the Prefect for offending the Heavenly Might that he lowered the Heavenly Punishment and intervened in human affairs."

"Western Heaven Lingshan, in order to protect the merit of the Journey to the West Calamity, also intervened in this matter."

"But they all only wanted to follow the Heavenly Dao and seek merit, but never thought about taking action to save people."

Tang An raised her hand, feeling the coldness of the raindrops touching her fingertips.

"You say, is it that those in high positions have sat for too long, and their hearts will become colder and harder."

"Will I become like that one day?"

At this moment, Tang An is truly afraid, afraid that she will one day become a cold and heartless person.

Or be bound by the Heavenly Law, only able to watch the suffering of the world, and unable to intervene.

"Master." Yang Jian understands the Heavenly Law order best, "The Heavenly Law is iron, and gods really cannot intervene too much in human affairs."

"Too much?" Tang An cannot empathize with gods, because she is a human, a human with flesh and blood.

Perhaps the existence of the Heavenly Law is reasonable, and not letting gods intervene in human affairs is also to protect mortals.

"But gods intervening in human affairs and protecting mortals should not be confused."

"If..."

If in those years, if a god had intervened in that war and protected the people of Huaxia, would there not be so many martyr cemeteries, nameless bones, and blood staining the river?

Yang Jian couldn't read the sadness in Tang An's eyes, "Master, everything has two sides. The Heavenly Law also came into being in response to the situation."

"It is precisely because the old Heavenly Law is to be abolished that the Huashan New Heavenly Law has appeared."

"Perhaps the new Heavenly Law will have some relative changes."

Tang An nodded, "Let's go, we've been delayed for half a month, it's time to continue heading west."

The Fengxian Prefecture tribulation is over, next, it should be the Tianzhu Kingdom.

Nezha saw that Tang An was in a bad mood, silently walking on her left side, handing her a lollipop.

"Eat something sweet, it will always be better."

Tang An took the lollipop, unwrapped the packaging, and put it in her mouth.

"Our Nezha is really becoming more and more thoughtful."

Nezha lowered his head slightly, the corners of his brows and mouth both raised in a bright arc. ===== CHAPTER 340 =====
