The Ling family is the most prominent general family in Beijing, and is worthy of being the first family of generals.
No one has ever dared to ask the current head of the Ling family, General Jin Yuwei Ling Wu, to get out in front of the Ling family.
"who!"
The Ling family's guards quickly rushed out and surrounded the Tang rich man.
Rich Man Tang glanced at them coldly and said, "Let Ling Wu come out."
There are only a few people in the capital who dare to call the head of the family by his first name. Although the person in front of him is bloated, he is quite imposing when he stands there. The several guards also looked at each other without any confidence in their hearts.
After a few glances, the others still stayed where they were, but one of them hurried in.
A moment later, a figure walked out of the house at a swift pace. Looking at Rich Man Tang who was standing at the door, he stopped suddenly and said in shock: "Tang Ji!"
The look of shock on his face instantly turned into anger, and he said sternly: "You still have the nerve to come to my Ling family!"
"Stop talking nonsense!" Rich Man Tang stepped forward and said, "I'll talk about these things later. I have something urgent for you!"
After a while, the Ling family, General Ling suddenly stood up from his seat and asked: "Where is the second young master!"
A servant immediately said: "I just came back from Dali Temple and I am in the room now."
Ling Wu looked cold and stern, and said in a deep voice: "Let him come over!"
…
In the palace, at the entrance of the imperial study room.
Wei Jian walked out of the palace, looked at Tang Ning, and said, "Master Tang, Your Majesty just fell asleep. Please wait here for a while."
Tang Ning waited outside the palace for half an hour. During this period, people brought folding notes from time to time and passed them through the eunuch at the door.
After a while, Wei Jian walked out of it again and said, "Master Tang, Your Majesty has asked you to come in."
Tangning stretched her ankles and walked into the hall.
Emperor Chen was sitting in the hall, flipping through a brochure. After reading it for a few times, he yawned, looked up at Tang Ning, and asked, "It's rare that you would take the initiative to come to me. Tell me, look for me."
What's the matter with me?"
"I remember that your Majesty once made a promise to me." Tang Ning looked at Emperor Chen, cupped her hands and said, "I have the courage to ask your Majesty to fulfill the promise of that day."
Emperor Chen was startled, looked at him, and asked, "Have I ever said that?"
He looked at Wei Jian, who coughed lightly and said: "Your Majesty, when Mr. Tang rescued Concubine Shu, Your Majesty did say that he would reward Mr. Tang, but that was already a long time ago...
…”
Speaking of Concubine Shu's illness, Emperor Chen finally remembered that it seemed that there was indeed such a thing, but it had been so long that even he had forgotten it.
He looked at Tang Ning with suspicion in his eyes. It didn't seem like he could do something like offering a reward.
However, he still nodded and said: "Jun Wu, since it is my word, it will be fulfilled no matter how long it takes, so tell me what reward you want."
Tang Ning said: "I have the courage to ask Your Majesty to give my wife the status of a married woman."
"Your wife?" Chen Huang looked at him and said in surprise: "Isn't your wife already the destined wife?"
Tang Ning bowed and said, "Sir, I'm talking about my third wife."
"Third Madam?" Emperor Chen looked at him and asked, "You are getting married again. Which family in Beijing will you marry this time?"
Tang Ning said: "Your Majesty, she is not from a famous family in Beijing."
Chen Huang looked at him, wondering what he was thinking. His father-in-law was like this, and so was his uncle. They even asked for the same reward. They were really a family...
He looked at Tang Ning again and said, "Think carefully, my reward is not that cheap. If you use it this time, you won't have this opportunity next time."
Tangning said without any hesitation, "I have already thought about it."
"Okay." Emperor Chen looked at him, nodded, and said, "Since you want it, I will give it to you. What is the name of your third wife? I will ask someone to draft the edict now."
Tang Ning said: "Tang Yaoyao."
"Tang Yaoyao?" Chen Huang seemed to have thought of something when he heard the name. He opened the book in his hand again, looked at it carefully, and then looked at Tang Ning again.
"If she becomes the destined wife, Dali Temple will no longer be able to interrogate her, and the nature of this case is completely different." Emperor Chen looked at him and said, "But you don't have to do this. Since you are so sure, I will have people investigate strictly.
Why waste this opportunity to clear her innocence in this case?"
Tang Ning cupped her hands and said, "Your Majesty, I don't want her to suffer in Dali Temple for even a quarter of an hour."
Judging from the information fed back by Dali Temple, this case is not easy to investigate. Before this, she didn’t know how long she would stay in the Dali Temple’s prison. Tang Yaoyao seemed bold, but in fact she was even afraid of mice.
A place like Tianlao was simply not the place for her to stay.
Emperor Chen looked at him and said, "I'll ask you one last time, have you thought about it?"
Tang Ning said: "I have thought about it."
Emperor Chen nodded and said: "Draw up the decree."
Tangning cupped her fists and bowed, saying, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
After a while, watching Tang Ning walk out of the hall, Chen Huang stood up and asked, "Is my promise worth a life sentence?"
Wei Jian smiled and said: "Your Majesty's promise is naturally priceless, but the true love in the world is also priceless. If you exchange priceless for priceless, I think it's worth it."
"After listening to you all my life, I still like to listen to you." Chen Huang showed a smile on his face, then gradually solidified, and murmured: "But who is planning the death of Wu Liehou's son, and what is the purpose?
Let people check..."
As an emperor, he has seen too much darkness in the past few decades, and he has become accustomed to these things.
Not long after he finished speaking, a eunuch came forward to report, and the minister of Dali Temple asked to see him.
Not long after, Emperor Chen sat in the palace, looked at the minister of Dali Temple, and asked: "Has the case been solved?"
The Minister of Dali Temple bowed, handed over a report, and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the case of Wu Liehou's son has been solved, and the murderer has been found..."
Emperor Chen looked at the report and asked, "Did the guards of Marquis Wu Lie's Mansion do it?"
The Minister of Dali Temple nodded and said: "Han Chong died due to a warrior's unique technique. Although there were no wounds visible from the outside, his internal organs were seriously injured. Dali Temple followed the clues and finally found the murderer.
He was one of the guards of Marquis Wu Lie. After the guard confessed his crime, he committed suicide."
Chen Huang frowned and asked, "Why did he want to kill Han Chong?"
"This starts with the crime of Wu Liehou's son." The minister of Dali Temple said slowly: "Dali Temple has found out that Han Chong, the son of Wu Liehou, is arrogant and domineering on weekdays and has done many evil things. The former guard
There was a fiancée who was insulted by Han Chong two years ago and threw herself into a well in anger. The guard tolerated it for two years and only became the guard of Wuliehou Mansion a month ago. Taking advantage of today's incident, he helped Han Chong return to the house.
, secretly shocked his internal organs, causing Han Chong to vomit blood and die on the spot..."
Chen Huang frowned and said, "Can it kill someone without damaging their appearance?"
Wei Jian nodded and said: "Your Majesty, it is not difficult for a warrior to do this."
Emperor Chen looked at the report and frowned: "Occupying fields, seizing shops, raping good families... The crimes committed by the son of Marquis Wu Lie are countless, and he died unjustly. He committed many evil things, and he is still living at ease in the capital to this day. You guys
What does the government do for food?"
The Minister of Dali Temple secretly complained in his heart that his Majesty should be responsible for the magistrate of Ping'an County and Jing Zhaoyin for this matter. Dali Temple was ordered to investigate the case, so who could take care of these matters?
He hurriedly bowed and said: "Back to Your Majesty, this is because the people who were harmed by him did not dare to speak out because of his lustful power. That is why the guard withheld revenge and the people did not take action, and the government could not pursue it.
ah……"
Chen Huang thought of something and suddenly said: "So, this is just the guards of Wu Liehou Mansion taking this opportunity to take revenge and then put the blame on others?"
The minister of Dali Temple said: "Exactly."
Huang Chen was stunned: "Then Tangning..."
Tang Ning stood at the entrance of Dali Temple, watching Tang Yaoyao walk out of Dali Temple surrounded by the Tang rich man and a group of people, and stood there stunned.
The Shaoqing of Dali Temple came over, looked at him, and said with a smile on his face: "Congratulations, Mr. Tang, the case has been clearly investigated. It turns out that the murderer is someone else. Miss Tang can go back..."
Tang Yaoyao walked over from the crowd, looked at Tang Ning, frowned and asked, "The case has been cleared, but you don't seem happy?"
Tangning looked at her and raised her hand with difficulty: "Congratulations, congratulations..."
