Faced with the doubts from the head of the Zheng family, Tang Bingyan said calmly.
"A few years ago, your Zheng family had business dealings with Canglang Hall. I remember that the Zheng family owed Canglang Hall a large amount of money." Tang Bingyan said something shocking again.
Zhong Ling was slightly startled, and then thought that the Zheng family seemed to really owe them a large sum of money that they had not repaid.
But because it happened so long ago, she almost forgot about it.
At the beginning, Canglang Palace had business dealings with the Zheng family. At that time, the Zheng family originally paid the final payment to Canglang Palace on a monthly basis. However, because Wolf King Ding Yi suddenly disappeared, the Zheng family had no control over the final payment.
After repeated excuses, every time Canglang Palace sent someone to ask for the account, they would be sent back with various reasons. Over time, the final payment was forfeited.
Back then, the Zheng family took advantage of the fact that Canglang Palace was leaderless and licked its face and swallowed up the remaining balance belonging to Canglang Palace. Most of the forces on Wuji Island knew about this, and it was not surprising that the Emperor of Thorns would know about it.
"Okay, if the emperor hadn't mentioned it, we would have almost forgotten about it!" Zhong Yu gritted his teeth and said to the head of the Zheng family, "Back then, you took advantage of Zhong Ling and I's young age and refused to pay you every time.
, you actually just threw away the final payment, and you have to be honest when you come out to make a voice, why are you so shameless?"
The parents of the Zheng family felt that the eyes of everyone around them were on themselves. They were ashamed and annoyed. Their faces turned red and they stared at Zhong Yu, but they couldn't say a single word of defense.
The Zheng family did owe the Canglang Palace the final payment, but that was from the old calendar five years ago, so why should they settle the old debt now?
What's more, even if they owe money, it is a personal grudge between them and Canglang Palace. Why would Emperor Thorns intervene?
If she can't get money from the Wolf King, will she have to blame them?
"Your Majesty, your ruling is too unfair to our Zheng family." The head of the Zheng family looked at Tang Bingyan and argued, "After all, this is a personal grudge between me and the Wolf King. We can resolve it ourselves."
The subtext is that this is a private matter between the Zheng family and Canglang Palace, and Emperor Thorns has no right to interfere.
Although the Zheng family also pays membership fees every month, this is due to the power of the Thorns, and it does not mean that the Zheng family has become a vassal of the Thorns.
"Oh?" Tang Bingyan curled her lips slightly when she heard this, "Master Zheng, are you dissatisfied with my ruling?"
Her voice was as cold as a knife, and she looked at the head of the Zheng family as if she were looking at a dead object.
The head of the Zheng family was so frightened by the oppressive gaze that he trembled and suddenly came to his senses.
What did he just say?
The head of the Zheng family realized belatedly that he had made a big mistake.
In recent years, the Zheng family has expanded rapidly with the help of thorns. Once a person stands on a high place, it is easy to forget where he is.
He even forgot that the woman in front of him was the Emperor of Thorns who could cause a bloody storm on Wuji Island.
"Your Majesty, it was my fault...why should I be dissatisfied with you?"
"I was just excited... Please forgive me, sir!"
Beads of sweat kept pouring out from his forehead. No matter how much dissatisfaction and anger there was in his heart, it was extinguished by the deep-seated fear, and there was no trace left.
"Then what do you think of my ruling?" Tang Bingyan said expressionlessly.
"No... Zheng doesn't dare..." The head of the Zheng family gritted his teeth and lowered his head before replying.
No matter how courageous he was, he would not dare to go against the wishes of the Emperor of Thorns. Even if he did not want to pay the money, he had to pay it.
"Since the Zheng family has no objection, it's settled. From now on, the Zheng family will pay the membership dues on behalf of Canglang Palace every month until the debt is paid off."
The Zheng family looked unwilling, but no one dared to disobey Emperor Thorns' order, so they could only direct all their anger at Xu Tian and others.
Xu Tian felt the almost crazy resentment in the Zheng family's eyes, and felt tired.
It’s not him who is making enemies. He has the ability to challenge the Emperor of Thorns!
At the same time, Lin Shanshan, who was hiding behind a tree and watching the fun, complained silently.
"Sister Bingyan, this is too partial. This blatant protection will make even a blind person feel that something is wrong."
"The same applies to the Zheng family. It's not good to provoke anyone, but to provoke Xu Tian. This will directly offend two people."
"As for that Zheng Jing, he actually pretended to be Sister Bingyan's fiancé and deceived him. I hope Sister Bingyan can leave his whole body."
"Brother Yi, do you think there is something wrong with this Emperor of Thorns?" Zhong Yu tugged Xu Tian's sleeve in surprise.
Xu Tian snorted coldly when he heard this, "Why is there no problem? This woman has a big problem!"
"Could it be that..." Zhong Yu suddenly had an idea, "Di Jun, she has a crush on you, right? Otherwise, why would she be so partial?"
"Don't talk nonsense." Xu Tian said in a deep voice.
What a secret love, they are obviously a legal couple.
But now Tang Bingyan doesn't want to admit her identity at all, let alone recognize him.
Xu Tian felt very complicated after seeing clearly what the other party was thinking.
The most important thing was that he was convinced that the woman in front of him was Tang Bingyan, but if the other party insisted on refusing to admit it, there was nothing he could do.
"Wolf King, do you have any objections?"
Tang Bingyan, who was sitting in the main seat, waited patiently for Xu Tian's answer.
"I have no objection." Xu Tian replied with a cold face.
The Emperor of Thorns has passed on the membership dues of Canglang Palace to the Zheng family. They don't need to pay at all every month. He has no reason to disagree.
As for the other gang leaders present, they didn't even dare to express their opinions, let alone have any opinions.
What's more, this matter has nothing to do with them in the first place, and it's not their turn to express their opinions.
It's just that these people originally wanted to see the Emperor of Thorns brutally punish the Wolf King, and wanted to see the arrogant leader of the Wolf Palace reap the consequences, with blood splattered on the spot. However, they did not expect that instead of losing anything, the Wolf Palace and the Wolf King suffered losses.
The Zheng family, which was thought to be backed by thorns, lost both its wife and its troops.
"Since no one objects, then the matter is settled." Tang Bingyan's cold eyes flashed slightly, and finally fell on the Zheng family.
"Next, it's the Zheng family's turn."
"Zheng family?"
Everyone was a little surprised.
What does it mean it's the Zheng family's turn?
What happened to the Zheng family?
Isn't it enough to pay membership dues for Canglang Palace?
Just when everyone was speculating in their hearts, Tang Bingyan's indifferent voice sounded again.
"While I was away from Jingji, the Zheng family spread rumors that I would marry them. Zheng Jing, in particular, secretly mobilized some members of Jingji to work for the Zheng family in the name of my fiancé."
Tang Bingyan's tone was calm, without any emotion, but her cold voice made everyone around her break out in cold sweat.
"Zeng Rou."
"My subordinate is here!" the charming woman replied with a slight bow.
"How do you think the Zheng family should be dealt with?" Tang Bingyan asked in a deep voice.
