Douluo: I Have an Unnamed Law

Chapter 287 Tang Hao's Experiences
"Who goes there? Don't you know this is the city lord's residence?"

"Shut up! Don't be rude to the Soul Master!"

Just then, a man dressed as a steward walked out of the mansion. Although he was not exactly wealthy, he was ruddy-faced and dressed in fine clothes. He walked up to Tang Hao, narrowed his small eyes, and smiled, "This Soul Master looks unfamiliar. May I ask where you come from?"

"Haotian Sect, Tang Hao."

When Tang Hao mentioned the Haotian Sect, he was filled with pride.

Upon hearing this, the steward seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, revealing a surprised expression, and flattered, "I didn't expect you to be a disciple of the number one sect in the world, the Haotian Sect. It's a pleasure to meet you."

"Old steward, I ask you, didn't you say there was no food in the city? Where did all this come from?"

Tang Hao narrowed his eyes, staring intently at the other person.

"Well, I advise this gentleman not to ask any more questions. I'm doing this for your own good."

The old butler hesitated, seemingly out of concern for Tang Hao, but his tone carried a threat.

Upon hearing this, Tang Hao became even more eager to know. He wanted to know who else in the world, besides a small group of people, could threaten him.
"Hehe, old butler, just say it. If anything goes wrong, I, Tang Hao, will take responsibility."

"This"

"What, you don't believe me?"

Seeing the old steward hesitate, Tang Hao narrowed his eyes slightly. He slammed the Clear Sky Hammer into the ground, causing the ground to tremble. He stepped on the hammer with his right foot, and eight spirit rings rose up from his feet.

"Soul, Contra!!"

The old butler's eyes widened in astonishment. This person looked so young, yet he was a Soul Douluo. Just who was this person?
Tang Hao was very satisfied with the other party's reaction. He arrogantly raised his head and asked, "Can you tell me now?"

"My lord, this is not something I can discuss with you. If you wish to know, the magistrate in the city is in the mansion. Please come inside for a talk."

"No need, I just want you to tell me."

Tang Hao was also a stubborn man. Since the other party knew, he insisted that the other party tell him, and he didn't want to waste any time.

"what happened?"

Just then, a powerful voice rang out from inside the mansion, followed by a burly man leading several equally robust men out.

"Lord City Lord."

Upon seeing this, the butler quickly ran forward and whispered in the other person's ear what had just happened.

Upon hearing this, the man raised his hand, then smiled and walked towards Tang Hao: "My lord, it is an honor to have you here. It is cold outside, please come with me into the mansion. I will have my servants prepare a table of fine wine and dishes to warm you up, and then I will slowly explain my suffering to you."

Tang Hao saw that the city lord had come out, and since he was feeling the urge to drink, he nodded.

"Haha, sir, please."

The city lord stepped aside and gestured for them to proceed.

"kindness."

Tang Hao nodded and strode in with an air of arrogance.

After entering the mansion and passing through the front courtyard, they arrived at the main hall. The city lord instructed the official to tell the servants to prepare a table of fine dishes and wine.

While waiting, Tang Hao inquired about the grain again.

"I won't hide it from you, sir. This is relief grain that was just delivered from above, but it was suppressed by the Spirit Hall here and wasn't released until a few days ago when Bishop Morde suddenly died. Only then did I send people to discuss it and finally get this grain that had been suppressed out." "If that's the case, why not release the grain for relief as soon as possible?" Tang Hao asked, puzzled.

Upon hearing this, the city lord immediately looked troubled, shook his head and sighed, "My lord, you don't know, this grain is only enough to distribute to the people inside the city. As for the people outside, I really have no way to help them."

"I see. But you don't need to blame yourself. If you can save them, then save them. If you can't, then you can only let them have their own good fortune."

Tang Hao sighed. The city lord was truly a good person, but ultimately, resources were limited, and he couldn't help more people. If it were him, he probably wouldn't have any better ideas either, and could only ensure the safety of the city first.

But then, Tang Hao became indignant and snorted coldly, "Hmph, I never thought that the Spirit Hall would have such scoundrels. They are truly despicable. If that beast hadn't died young, I would have personally rid the people of this scourge!"

"Yes, Mord is usually so dignified, I never expected him to be such a despicable person." The city lord feigned emotion, a barely perceptible glint of shrewdness flashing deep in his eyes.

pat!

A soft thud suddenly came from the roof, and Tang Hao and the city lord immediately became alert, raising their heads and shouting, "Who goes there?!"

"not good!"

Tian Shangxing was startled and hurriedly tried to retreat, but the next moment, Tang Hao's figure appeared in front of him and slammed him into the courtyard with a hammer, leaving spider web-like cracks in the ground.

"Who are you, sneaking into my residence? Are you perhaps an assassin sent by the Spirit Hall to seek revenge?"

The city lord walked out calmly, his hands behind his back.

Tian Shangxing clutched his chest and half-squatted on the ground, his gaze icy: "That Tiger, you plotted to murder the Spirit Hall bishop, embezzled disaster relief grain, and now you're turning around and biting me. Aren't you really afraid of the Spirit Hall's retaliation?"

The tiger's eyes turned cold, and he immediately cursed, "How dare you! You dare to slander this city lord! I bet you're one of Mord's gang, here to kill me and take the blame!"

"You have slandered an imperial official; I will kill you today!"

After saying that, the tiger summoned its martial spirit, the Black Tiger. With two yellow, three purple, and one black rings under its feet, six spirit rings rose up, and it raised its palm to chop towards Tian Shangxing's forehead.

"Wait, we haven't finished speaking yet. Don't rush to make a move."

Just as the palm strike was about to land, Tang Hao made his move and grabbed the tiger's wrist.

"Sir, do you think I would lie to you?"

"It's not impossible." Tang Hao nodded, showing no mercy, and the other party didn't have the right to do so.

The tiger choked, then gritted its teeth and said, "My lord, the Spirit Hall has always been cunning; don't be fooled!"

"I know the Spirit Hall better than you do." Tang Hao glanced at the tiger indifferently, then looked at Tian Shangxing, who was kneeling on the ground.

"You, tell me what you know."

Tian Shangxing nodded, then said, "I am the Inspector of the Spirit Hall. Some time ago, we were ordered by our superiors to monitor the disaster relief situation in various places."

“A few days ago, disaster relief grain from the Empire and the Spirit Hall arrived, but this Tiger has been holding back the grain and refusing to distribute it.”

"They even forcibly withheld the disaster relief supplies sent by the Spirit Hall."

“Bishop Mo came to argue, but he was killed by him and the experts from the local Soul Master families.”

"I have already reported this matter. I came here today just to investigate the situation further, but I didn't expect to be discovered by you."

Upon hearing this, Tang Hao looked at the tiger, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, and sighed, "You've got some nerve, daring to kill a bishop from the Spirit Hall and then lying to me. Do you really think the Spirit Hall is made of paper?"
