Tang Zhao picked up his chopsticks again, looked at the leftovers on the table, and cursed the Yanping Marquis Mansion and Ping'an County Government in his heart.
He has been very useless these days. He is told by his own father every day not to cause trouble, and he just ignores it. There is always an illusion that he wants to simply lock himself in the house and ground him.
The Tang family was so glorious in the past, but now even a small catcher from the county government can bully them. The gap is so huge that he still can't accept it.
He took a bite of the leftover food and before he could put it in his mouth, he noticed something was wrong with the atmosphere at the table.
His father just looked at him, even his uncle's eyes were on him.
The hand he was picking up couldn't help but shake, and the last bite of leftover food fell on the table.
Tang Qi looked at Tang Zhao and asked, "You just said, what happened to Marquis Yanping's son?"
"Okay, it seems they set fire to kill people." Both his father and uncle looked at each other a little wrong. Tang Zhao put down his chopsticks and said anxiously: "It's really none of my business. Marquis Yanping, Marquis Changxing, Uncle Yongchuan, and Uncle Huining are all.
King Kang's people, I usually have no contact with their juniors, it's not my doing..."
Tang Qi raised his brows and asked, "What's the matter with Marquis Changxing and the others?"
Tang Zhao swallowed his saliva and said: "Listen, listen to what the policemen said, Chen Zhao and Li Ping robbed the girls, and set fire to kill them when they encountered resistance... I was in the brothel that day, and the madam and the girl Xiangxiang can all testify.
,Dad, uncle, you believe me..."
"I didn't say it was you." Tang Qi and Tang Huai looked at each other and said, "You can continue eating."
Tang Zhao lowered his head, looked at the few leftovers on the table, picked up a bone with a trace of meat, and bit it into pieces with a click.
In the study room.
Tang Huai stood in front of the desk and suddenly asked: "What do you think?"
"How could Ping'an County Government make such an omission? They did it on purpose." Tang Qi frowned and said, "But I can't figure out the reason why they did this. That little fox is so cunning and has helped King Kang many times. Without him, it would be impossible.
Without today's King Kang, King Duan's results today were caused by him alone. I can't see clearly what he did today."
Tang Huai said: "He wants to borrow the knife."
"Borrow me the Tang family's sword to weaken King Kang?" Tang Qi's face became even more suspicious: "He borrowed King Kang's sword many times to push King Duan to the situation he is in today. This time he wants to borrow our sword to deal with King Kang.
What exactly does he want to do? Could it be that what he is really supporting is...King Huai?"
Tang Huai seemed to sigh and said: "You said, should we borrow this knife or not?"
Tang Qi lowered his head and fell into a brief silence.
Now that King Kang's influence in the court has reached its peak, if he takes one more step forward, he will take the position of the East Palace. What will be left for King Duan and the Tang family will be an abyss.
In the matter of party strife, if you fail even one step, your body will be shattered into pieces.
If King Kang comes to power, King Duan will inevitably die, and the Tang family will naturally have no good results. Similarly, if King Duan comes to power, King Kang will undoubtedly die, and the powerful people behind him will also be liquidated.
They had no choice, and there was no way they could choose. This was not a borrowed knife, but a knife handed to them. All the Tang family could do was hold the knife and stab it forward.
Tang Qi pondered for a moment, then lowered his head and said, "I will immediately ask someone to investigate the matter regarding Marquis Yanping."
…
After the Yuan Dynasty, spring has arrived, but in the past few days of late spring cold, the temperature has not only not warmed up, but has actually become colder than the previous few days.
"I'm hooked, I'm hooked!"
The cold wind blowing by the stream made Zhao Man's face turn red, but she didn't care at all. She suddenly lifted the fishing rod, and a small fish the size of a palm was caught by her.
This season is actually not suitable for fishing, and the period after the release of the Yamen is not a good time for fishing. However, in a short time, Zhao Man has caught three fish. Although they are all small fish the size of a palm, they are enough to make her happy.
Dancing.
The luck of the beautiful girl certainly played a small part in the reason, but the main reason was that Tang Ning had arranged for Liu Lao'er to surround the small pool with stones before going to the Yamen, and put dozens of them in the pool after they had been hungry for a long time.
of small fish.
She placed the small fish in a small clay pot filled with water, looked at Tang Ning, and said proudly, "Am I awesome?"
Tang Ning cooperated with her and said, "Your Highness was able to catch so many fish for the first time. It's amazing..."
Zhao Man picked up the fishing rod again, sat back on the small bench, and murmured: "There are so many interesting things in this world, I should move out of the palace as soon as possible..."
In her eyes, even fishing is an interesting thing, so there are too many interesting things in this world for her.
However, she was finally not as dull as before, so Tang Ning felt that it was worthwhile to accompany her out to enjoy the cold breeze on such a cold day.
He looked up at the sky and said, "Princess, it's getting late. Let's go back."
Zhao Man looked at him, held the fishing rod tightly, and said, "Wait a little longer, I'll catch another one and then go home."
Maybe she had run out of luck before, but after half an hour, she didn't catch another fish.
She poured all the small fish in the clay pot into the stream and said, "Go home quickly and don't be so greedy in the future."
Tangning took her fishing rod and helped her reel in the line, only to realize that there was no bait on her hook.
Tang Ning glanced at her, and Zhao Man's eyes were a little dodgeful. He put away the fishing rod and said, "Let's go."
It would take some time for the carriage to drive into the city from outside the city. Zhao Man sat in the carriage and Tang Ning sat outside, leaning against the carriage and looking at the starry sky.
There was movement in the carriage. Zhao Man got out of the carriage, leaned on the other side, looked up at the night sky like him, and said: "My mother told me when I was a child, every star in the sky represents a person's life.
When a life comes to an end, a star falls..."
The stars in the sky represent all living beings in the world, who live and die together, and the stars fall... This is a very romantic thing. Tang Ning couldn't bear to tell her that the stars in the sky are just light from hundreds of millions of years ago. She
The stars I thought may have disappeared into the vast universe long ago.
"Which star is my star?" She hugged her knees and looked at the night sky, murmuring. Tangning turned her head and took a look. The bright moonlight cast a layer of holy light on the side of her face.
Zhao Man suddenly turned to look at him and said, "It would be great if I had known you earlier."
Tangning recovered her thoughts and asked, "What?"
A different smile appeared on her face, she waved her hand and said softly: "It's nothing..."
…
Tang family.
It was late at night, but there was still light in Tang Huai's study.
"I asked someone to ask Chief Xu. Xu Cheng, the Minister of Punishment, inexplicably submitted all the serious case files of Ping'an County Government yesterday, and there was no follow-up after that."
Tang Qi paced in the study and said: "These cases did not go to the Ministry of Punishment, but were temporarily detained by Xu Cheng. The case in the Yanping Marquis Mansion was also among them. Xu Cheng's purpose should only be this.
In order to deceive others about this case, we mobilized people like this."
"Xu Cheng..." Tang Huai tapped his index finger on the table and said, "This man showed favor to King Duan half a year ago, but now he has turned to King Kang?"
Tang Qi nodded and said: "Even if it doesn't completely fall over, it should be almost there."
There are many officials like Xu Cheng in the court. They do not have a firm camp. They will fall wherever the wind blows. They act very measuredly. They only sell benefits and do not offend the other party too much. No matter who gains power in the future.
, even if they will not be reused, they will not end up miserable.
He was silent for a moment and said: "This case alone is not enough. Yanpinghou and others are just chess pieces. Even if they are removed, it will not be of much benefit to us. Our target is the chess player."
…”
Tang Huai thought for a while and said: "It is useless to move one or two chess pieces, but if ten or eight pieces are moved at once, can the chess player still sit still?"
