Tangning took Fang Hong's carriage and went directly to the entrance of Red Sleeve Pavilion.
In the car, Fang Hong looked serious and bowed to him, saying, "Tang Jieyuan has done two great favors to our Fang family. Fang really doesn't know how to repay him."
Tang Ning shook her head and said, "Master Fang, you are being polite now."
Fang Hong said seriously: "It may be a small effort for Tang Jieyuan, but it is a great favor to the other party's family."
Tang Ning was not used to Fang Hong being so polite. This was one of the reasons why he and Fang Hong didn't have much to say. In the entire Fang family, Fang Xiaopang was the most lovable.
The carriage stopped at the door of Hongxiu Pavilion. A girl stood at the door. When she saw Tang Ning getting off the carriage, she immediately ran into the house and shouted: "The young master is back!"
Shopkeeper Xu and others quickly walked out of it.
Miss Chu Chu walked up to him and asked with concern: "Master, are you okay? Have they done anything to you?"
Tangning smiled and said, "It's okay, everyone, please go in and we'll talk later."
Su Mei walked out of it, glanced at him, and said, "Since you're fine, I'll leave first..."
Tangning looked at her and asked, "Why don't you stay for a meal before leaving?"
Su Mei didn't look back, waved her hand, and her voice floated over: "Forget it, let's talk about it next time when we have a chance."
Shopkeeper Xu stepped forward and said with a smile: "Young Master must be hungry, dinner is ready..."
…
Tang family.
Tang Zhao looked at Liu Li and said in disbelief: "What did you say? The person was picked up and where did he go?"
With a hint of fear on his face, Liu said in a trembling voice: "Emperor, the palace."
"Imperial palace?" Tang Zhao looked surprised and asked, "Why is he going to the palace?"
"I don't know." Liu Li swallowed and continued: "Just now, Chang Yan, the magistrate of Ping'an County, was taken away by the guards. Chang Yue asked someone to send me a letter, asking me to come to the Second Young Master to inquire...
"
"The Magistrate of Ping'an County was taken away by the guards!"
Surprising news came one after another. Tang Zhao rubbed his brows, somewhat unable to react.
At this moment, a figure strode in from outside the door, looked at Tang Zhao, and said angrily: "You bastard, what have you done!"
Tang Zhao looked at his father and asked doubtfully: "Dad, what's wrong with me?"
Tang Qi looked at him and said angrily: "You are still pretending to be stupid. Did you send someone to hint to the Ping An County Magistrate about that matter?"
Tang Zhao stood there in a daze, opened his mouth, and asked: "Dad, what happened?"
"Idiot, sooner or later the Tang family will be destroyed in your hands!" Tang Qi looked at him, his chest heaving, and said, "Come with me to admit your mistake to your uncle!"
After a while, Tang Zhao followed Tang Qi in despair and walked out of the yard.
The woman in white stood in front of the Moon Gate, looking at this scene thoughtfully.
…
In the early morning, after the morning court had dispersed, hundreds of officials came out of the main hall with different expressions on their faces.
Today's morning seemed a little less peaceful than in the past.
The son of Marquis Wu'an was beaten seriously in the streets of the capital. This morning, Marquis Wu'an asked His Majesty to investigate the case thoroughly, but His Majesty scolded him, blaming him for not being able to teach his son well. Even the officials felt a little baffled.
.
Although His Majesty still sent an imperial physician to the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion, this was akin to giving a stick to a sweet date.
His Majesty seems to be in a bad mood today, and even the Imperial Hospital is not spared.
Because they almost delayed the illness of Empress Shu, all the doctors at the Imperial Hospital were fined for one year. Of course, the fine was a small matter. If Empress Shu had an accident, the Imperial Hospital would lose at least a few heads.
Comparatively speaking, the magistrate of Ping'an County is the most unlucky one.
As the magistrate of Jingxian County, he was demoted from his post this time. Overnight, he changed from a fifth-grade official to a white one. Although there were many crimes, in the eyes of hundreds of officials, this level was nothing. Everyone usually
This was all tacitly understood. The only possibility is that he did something that dissatisfied His Majesty, which caused the disaster.
Of course, the things involved may be more complicated.
The Ping'an County Magistrate has always been close to the Tang family. Does His Majesty's attack on him have any deeper meaning? Perhaps Your Majesty does not want to see the Tang family continue to grow... Of course, this is not known.
Royal study room.
Chen Huang looked at the letter in his hand, shook his head and said: "To frame him up, he can actually come up with such dirty and dirty methods. This son of Marquis Wu An should be restrained."
Ling Yun raised his head and asked: "Your Majesty, where is the Tang family..."
Chen Huang looked outside and said: "After going to Pingan County Magistrate, they should know to restrain themselves..."
He stood up from his seat and said, "Go to Shuxiu Palace."
"Your Majesty is here!"
In Shuxiu Palace, after the eunuch's high-pitched voice, Fang Hong immediately stood up and bowed: "I see your Majesty."
"No courtesy..." Emperor Chen waved his hand, walked quickly to the couch, looked at Concubine Shu's increasingly rosy face, and asked with a smile: "How are you feeling?"
Concubine Shu smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am feeling much better now."
Chen Huang had a strange look on his face and said, "Although this Mr. Xie Yuang is young, he knows a lot."
Concubine Shu held his hand and said, "Your Majesty, please thank Dr. Tang on behalf of my concubine."
Emperor Chen nodded and said: "Of course he should be rewarded for meritorious service, but he is still too young and is facing the provincial examination. Rewarding him at this time will do him more harm than good. It will not be too late to reward him after he takes the imperial examination."
"Your Majesty is still thoughtful." Concubine Shu smiled and asked, "I heard that he was framed?"
Chen Huang patted her hand and said, "Don't worry, I have severely punished those involved."
"I just thought of something." At this point, he turned to look at Fang Hong and asked: "Once Ping'an County Magistrate Chang Yan leaves, there will be no magistrate in Jingxian County. Does Fang Aiqing have any suitable candidates to recommend?"
Fang Hong thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, I just happened to think of a person. This person is very capable and has a good reputation in government. He should be qualified for the post of magistrate of Jingxian County."
"Oh?" Chen Huang looked at him and asked, "Who are you talking about?"
Fang Hongdao: "This person is the magistrate of Yong'an County, Zhong Mingli."
"Zhong Mingli?" Chen Huang thought for a while and asked, "This name sounds familiar."
Wei Jian took a step forward and said with a smile: "Have you forgotten, Your Majesty? Mr. Song mentioned this Magistrate Zhong in the book he gave to Your Majesty."
"When you said that, I remembered it." Chen Huang nodded and said, "Song Aiqing also strongly recommended this person, saying that he has some skills in solving crimes. It seems that this Magistrate Zhong does have some skills.
What distinguishes others..."
Fang Hong thought for a while and then said: "Your Majesty, this Magistrate Zhong is also Tang Jieyuan's father-in-law."
"Is this happening?" A trace of surprise appeared on Emperor Chen's face, and then he smiled and said: "These two sons-in-law are actually talented people..."
Concubine Shu looked at him and suddenly said: "If Your Majesty transfers Zhong Mingli to the capital, it will not only repay the love of the little miracle doctor, but will it also be a good deal for Weng and son-in-law to be in the same court in the future?"
Emperor Chen smiled and said, "I will ask Zhongshu Sheng to draft the edict tomorrow..."
…
Lingzhou, Tangjia.
Rich Man Tang handed a letter to the housekeeper and said, "Send this family letter to the Zhong family."
"Yes, sir." The butler nodded and was about to leave when he was stopped by Rich Man Tang again.
The butler looked at him and asked, "Master, do you have any other orders?"
Mr. Tang handed him another opened letter and said, "Send this letter to the lady's room first and say it is from Shopkeeper Xu."
Watching the housekeeper leave, he twitched his lips and said: "The most beautiful woman in the capital, Miss Li..., she showed her true colors as soon as she arrived in the capital..."
Tang family, a small courtyard.
Tang Yaoyao was sitting on the swing, swaying unconsciously, occasionally looking up in the direction of the wall next door.
She gritted her teeth and said angrily: "I've been gone for so long without even writing a letter..."
The housekeeper came in from the outside, handed her a letter, and said, "Miss, this is the letter from shopkeeper Xu from the capital."
"It's a letter from Uncle Xu..." Tang Yaoyao took the letter and said, "I haven't seen Uncle Xu for many years."
She walked back to the room, sat down at the table, opened the letter, and looked at it.
After a while, the smile on her face gradually disappeared, and her face was filled with anger.
Snapped!
She slapped her hand on the table and said angrily: "This is unreasonable!"
Wow!
The wooden table was torn apart, and the debris fell to the floor.
