Being petty, careless, and always seeking revenge, revenge does not last overnight...
These are all descriptions of a certain big shot in Beijing. If words like broad-minded and open-minded can be used on him, then the world will be full of broad-minded people.
Wei Jian swallowed back the words he blurted out and said awkwardly: "The things that the Tang family did to Mr. Tang, the old slave thought it was too much. With his character, he would glare back at anyone who glared at him. He has a life-or-death hatred.
I’m afraid it’s impossible to uncover it…”
Chen Huang shook his head and sighed: "If he is an old fox who knows the general situation, he must know that I don't want to make this matter a big deal, but he is not. Young people like them just have a strong breath in their chests..."
Wei Jian smiled and asked, "What does your Majesty mean..."
Emperor Chen's eyes narrowed slightly. One was a pillar with outstanding contributions to the country, and the other was a powerful family that had controlled the government for many years and had declined in the past two years. He knew which one was more important.
"If he wants to vent his anger, let him vent his anger." Chen Huang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The Tang family has indeed gone too far in recent years..."
…
Emperor Chen gave Tang Ning a two-month long vacation. It was already early September, and by the time he returned to the office, it would be almost the end of the year.
Two months is not a short time. You can do a lot in sixty days.
Before that, he planned to visit some people.
After dinner, Tangning was about to go out. Zhong Mingli looked at him and said, "I have something to give you."
Zhong Mingli placed a large stack of files on Tang Ning's desk and said, "These are all the cases related to the Tang family that have been accumulated by Jingzhao Mansion and Ping'an County in the past ten years. They should be useful to you."
Tangning originally planned to ask the Ministry of Justice or Dali Temple to handle this matter, but she didn't expect that Zhong Mingli had already prepared it for him.
Tangning stood up and said, "Thank you, father-in-law."
"Family, don't say such out-of-this-world words." Zhong Mingli looked at him and said, "Don't forget, I am also a fourth-grade official. If you need help from the government for anything, just tell me."
His father-in-law is a fourth-rank official, and he is also the parent official of Jingzhao Mansion. Naturally, he can help Tang Ning in many ways. He originally didn't want him to get involved in this matter, but now that he said so, Tang Ning had no choice but to nod.
Said: "In this case, let's start with the government office first."
Zhong Mingli walked out of Tang Ning's study, heaving a sigh of relief with a cheerful expression on his face.
In the past few years, others said that he was lucky enough to pick up a powerful uncle for nothing, and he was promoted all the way to the position of Jing Zhaoyin.
He had always turned a deaf ear to these gossips, but in his heart, a man's dignity prevented him from enjoying all this with peace of mind. He always hoped to help Tangning, but every time before he could speak, his opponent would appear.
All fell into disrepair.
This time, he was finally able to save some face as his father-in-law.
There was originally a wall between Tang Ning's study and the yard next door, but it was later destroyed by Rich Man Tang and turned into a moon gate.
Rich Man Tang walked out from behind the Moon Gate, saw Zhong Mingli, raised his hand and said: "Old Zhong, are you free? Let's play a game of chess..."
Zhong Mingli waved his hand and said: "You can do it yourself. I have important things to do. Do you think anyone else is as free as you..."
Rich Man Tang looked at Zhong Mingli walking out of the yard in surprise. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but today he always felt that his steps were a little wandering...
The Tang Mansion in the capital.
The weather today is good, but the Tang Mansion is as depressing as ever.
Ever since the head of the family was removed from the position of minister and appointed a prince with a high official rank but no real power, the Tang family, which was once powerful, officially declared its decline. From being full of guests at its peak, to now it is sparse, with no guests at all for half a month.
Come to the door.
The concierges of the Tang Mansion have become accustomed to all this. In the past few months, they would feel strange when guests came to the house.
When a tree falls, the monkeys scatter, and when the wall falls, everyone pushes it away. Although the wall of the Tang family has not yet fallen, it will never regain its former glory.
There were a few more figures at the door of Tang Mansion today, but they were not guests.
The visitors were all wearing soap-coated yamen uniforms. After revealing their identities, the concierge learned that they were agents from the Jingzhao yamen office.
A year ago, not to mention the Jingzhao Mansion's police officers, the Tang Mansion's concierge would not take a serious look at officials below the fourth rank, but now it is different from the past. Not to mention the fourth rank, even the fifth and sixth rank officials would not look at them seriously.
If they don't want to come to the Tang Mansion, even if they are a small Jingzhao Mansion agent, they have to be careful.
A concierge smiled apologetically, looked at the head catcher, and asked, "I wonder what the important business is for me to come to my Tang Mansion?"
Peng Chen said: "The master of the Tang Mansion is involved in a case. In your name, we summon the Master of the Tang Mansion to the Yamen."
The master of the Tang Mansion is the head of the Tang Mansion. Which yamen in Beijing dared to summon the master of the Tang Mansion. The concierge's expression suddenly changed. These people were clearly here to cause trouble.
He looked at Peng Chen and asked: "May I ask what the case is? Could it be a mistake? How could the Tang family..."
"Is it possible? Let's talk about it when we get to the Yamen." Peng Chen waved his hand and said, "Should we go in and get the person, or should you go and ask him to come out?"
The porter immediately said: "Please wait a moment, sir, I will go in immediately to report."
After Tang Huai called himself Prince's Young Master, he no longer had to go to the Yamen.
As the name suggests, those who hold this official position have the responsibility to teach the prince. However, there is no prince in Chen State, so his role as the prince's young teacher is meaningless.
At this moment, the concierge was telling them what had just happened at the door.
"That's unreasonable!" Tang Qi stood up angrily and said, "Jingzhao Mansion is so brave. Who gave them the power to go to the Tang family and take people?"
"Your Majesty." Tang Zhao, who was looking down at his book, raised his head and said: "A few years ago, Your Majesty gave the former Pingan County Magistrate and now the Jingzhao Prefecture Governor a sign. With this sign, he can punish mobs and prosecute corrupt officials. In principle,
He said, apart from the royal family, he can arrest anyone he wants in this capital."
Tang Huai looked at the concierge and asked, "Did they say it was because of some case?"
The concierge shook his head and said, "They didn't say."
"Brother can't go." Tang Qi looked at him and said, "You represent the face of the Tang family. This is the last face of the Tang family."
"The Governor of Jingzhao is Tang Ning's father-in-law." Tang Zhao looked at them and added: "Obviously, he just wants the Tang family's face. If the uncle doesn't go, who can go?"
Tang Qi looked at him.
Tang Zhao put down the book in his hand, his throat moved, and said, "Do you think this is appropriate?"
…
At the gate of the Tang Mansion, Tang Zhao looked at the policeman from the Jingzhao Mansion and said, "Let's go. I am the young head of the Tang family. I can represent the Tang family. If you have any questions, we will talk about it when we get to the Yamen."
Peng Chen glanced at him and didn't ask any questions. He nodded and waved, "Go back to the office."
Within the Tang family.
Tang Qi held the tea cup in his hand tightly and gritted his teeth and said: "A tiger falls in Pingyang and is bullied by a dog. How dare a mere Jing Zhao Yin dare to humiliate the Tang family like this!"
"It's not Jing Zhaoyin." Tang Huai stood up and said: "He is the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, General Zuo Xiaowei, Minister Zuo Cheng, and Marquis Dingguo..."
He looked at Tang Qi, sighed, and said, "I really regret this time..."
