In the past, the Tang family believed that face was the most important thing, so after that scandal, they wanted to save the face of the Coin family at all costs.
Twenty years have passed. At that time, the Tang family never thought that the Tang family would decline to this point twenty years later, and that the child they assassinated several times would grow into such a big shot.
Twenty years ago, the Tang family broke up Tang Yu and his wife, imprisoned her at home, and saved some face. Twenty years later, they lost not only their face, but also their power, wealth, influence, what they had in the past, what they are today.
As a result, Tang Huai, as the head of the Tang family, had the thought of regret for the first time.
Tang Qi clenched and unclenched his fists and asked, "Do you want to report to the Empress and Prince Duan?"
"No need." Tang Huai was silent for a long time before he said: "The Tang family's face is not worth much money now. Don't drag Prince Duan into the water. Maybe this is their real purpose."
Although King Duan has been silent these days, he has neither merit nor demerit, and for them, no fault is merit. King Duan has become the last hope for the Tang family to rise again in the future. The Tang family can attack, but nothing can happen to King Duan.
.
Tang Qi nodded, his heart filled with confusion.
In the past few years, the Tang family has been declining day by day and has long lost its former glory. During Tang Ning's six-department tour, their political resources in the court were almost wiped out. Now, even a mere Jing Zhaoyin can bully them at will.
Go to the Tang family
Jingzhao Mansion Office.
Tang Zhao cupped his hands to the person in front of him and said, "Tang Zhao has met Mr. Fu Yin."
The man in front laughed dryly and said: "Young Patriarch has admitted the wrong person. I am Jingzhao Shaoyin. Mr. Zhong is busy with official duties, so he handed this case over to me."
Tang Zhao took a closer look and said apologetically: "It turns out to be Master Shaoyin. I've been suffering from eye disease recently. I can't see clearly from a distance. Don't blame me Shaoyin."
"No, no, no." Seeing that he had a good attitude, Jingzhao Shaoyin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the Tang family has declined, everyone knows that this is a temporary low point. When King Duan comes to power, the Tang family will be able to regain its former glory, and perhaps even be better than before. Making trouble for the Tang family can be a quick gain, but
But it is a desperate approach.
But if he is not causing trouble for the Tang family, he is disobeying his superiors' orders. The last Shaoyin was offended by Jingzhaoyin who had not yet taken office. Now he is still wandering around the counties of Gyeonggi like a lonely ghost. He does not want to follow his example.
Follow in the footsteps.
Tang Zhao looked at him and asked, "I wonder what case the Tang family is involved in this time?"
"That's it," Jingzhao Shaoyin said: "Several farmers outside the city sued the Tang family for occupying their fields five years ago."
"I'm really sorry. I didn't know those bastards in my family actually committed such a thing." Tang Zhao looked at him and said, "Well, of course the Tang family will have to pay for the mistakes the Tang family made. I'll go back.
Just return the fields to them and make up for their ten years of losses. I wonder what Mr. Shaoyin thinks?"
Jingzhao Shaoyin was startled. He didn't expect that this matter could be solved so easily. He immediately nodded and said: "That's very good."
The reason why powerful people are powerful is that they have noble status, transcendent status, and have privileges that ordinary people do not have.
I don’t know how many dignitaries in Beijing have done this kind of thing, but the common people dare not report it, and the government will not pursue it. If the trouble becomes too big, some dignitaries will pay some money to calm the matter, and the government will usually do it for the sake of face.
I won't pursue it any further.
If you seize the new ones and pursue them, it will not only offend one family or two powerful people.
Tang Zhao nodded, looked at him, and said: "Please, please let the government officials and I go back to the Tang family to get compensation from those people."
The Tang family's case went surprisingly smoothly. The Tang family was willing to return the land and provide excessive compensation. This was almost the best outcome.
It seems that the Tang family is no longer the Tang family before. How could they compensate before? They had already threatened and intimidated them.
Jingzhao Shaoyin calmed down the worry raised in his throat, went to the back office, and reported to Jingzhao Yin.
Zhong Mingli stood up and asked, "The Tang family is willing to return the land and pay compensation?"
Jingzhao Shaoyin cupped his hands and said: "The person sent by the Tang family is Tang Zhao, the young master of the family. His attitude is very good and there is no excuse. The lower official has already sent someone to collect the land deed and fine from the Tang family."
Zhong Mingli nodded slightly, and Jingzhao Shaoyin cupped his hands and retreated.
Zhong Mingli looked out the window and sighed lightly. The family's reaction was beyond his expectation. With their cooperation, Jingzhao Mansion could only act in accordance with the law. In addition to causing the Tang family to lose some money, this case would also
There is no other use anymore.
Although the outcome of the matter was different from what he had imagined, he originally did not expect this case to bring down the Tang family, so he quickly put his mind back together and looked at the file in his hand again.
Tang family.
After Tang Zhao returned home, he walked into the study and stared at him with hooked eyes.
He looked at Tang Huai and Tang Qi and said, "It's not a big deal. I don't know which bastard took over someone else's land five years ago. Now the owner has come to the government office. I will pay it back to them in the name of the Tang family."
Tian lost the money and is fine now."
"Five years ago?" Tang Qi looked at him and said: "Five years ago, you were the one who occupied the land to build a separate courtyard, you bastard!"
"Ah, really?" Tang Zhao scratched his head and said, "It seems that there was such a thing. Who still remembers what happened five years ago?"
Tang Qi did not continue to blame him, but frowned and said: "The case from five years ago was only revealed now, just to disgust the Tang family?"
"Someone has uncovered what happened twenty years ago, let alone five years ago?" Tang Zhao curled his lips and said, "Without that thing twenty years ago, there wouldn't be so many things happening now."
"Shut up." Tang Qi glared at him and said, "Go back to your room!"
"It's your fault in the first place, and you still want to blame me," Tangning muttered. When she saw the two people looking at her, she immediately ran out.
Jingshi Daily is a newspaper published by Tangrenzhai. In addition to some serials and interesting stories about Beijing, it often publishes some official news.
For example, the new policies that the court is about to implement or any important news will be published in newspapers.
In today's newspaper, the Jingzhao Government Office published a case in the most conspicuous position.
The Tang family in the capital invaded and occupied civilian fields and was summoned by the Jingzhao government office. In the end, not only did the fields be returned, but a large fine was also paid.
The Jingzhao government office aims to appeal through this matter that the powerful in Beijing cannot use their power to oppress the people. The Jingzhao government office must investigate every case and fight against any injustice. It will not hesitate to offend the powerful but also make decisions for the people.
From this case, the people can see the fact of the decline of the Tang family. By publishing this small case in the most obvious position in the newspaper, the Jingzhao government office had no intention of saving any face for the Tang family.
The decline of the Tang family is not only reflected here, but also reflected in the fact that at this time in previous years, when the head of the Tang family celebrated his birthday, the carriages in front of the Tang mansion could be lined up two streets away, but this year only a few of the Tang family chose a restaurant in the capital——
When the prince's young master celebrates his birthday, even if he doesn't hold a grand banquet at home, he should go to a place like Tianranju that is worthy of his status.
Although Tianxiang Restaurant is also the top restaurant in the capital, there is still some gap between Tianxianglou and Tianxiangju.
At the entrance of Tianxiang Tower, Tang Qi got off the carriage, crumpled a newspaper he had just bought into a ball, looked at Tang Huai angrily, and asked: "Jingzhao Mansion has done so much for this new thing, brother, you
What do you think?"
Tang Huai slowly got off the carriage and said: "This case is nothing, I'm afraid, this is just the beginning."
Tang Qi threw away the paper ball and said coldly: "If you want to bring down the Tang family, his Jing Zhaoyin is not enough."
Before he finished speaking, he saw Tang Huai looking elsewhere.
Tang Qi looked over and saw several figures walking out of the natural residence not far ahead.
Walking in the front were the influential figures in Beijing in recent days, Marquis Dingguo, General Zuo Xiaowei, Minister of Civil Affairs, and Shangshu Zuocheng Tangning.
On his right is Jingzhao Yin Zhongmingli.
On his left is Fang Hong, the official minister.
Walking side by side with Fang Hong was Song Yi, the Minister of Punishment.
Half a step behind the Minister of Punishment, and somewhat similar in appearance to him, was Song Qian who was sentenced to death in Gyeonggi Province.
Although Tang Qi was not familiar with the two young figures that followed, they were somewhat familiar with them.
One is the youngest censor at the censorship station, Xu Qingyang, the censor of Gyeonggi Province.
The other person was Zhang Yansheng, the chief of Dali Temple who had just been transferred to Dali Temple and solved several major cases.
These people are either in charge of official promotion assessment or investigating the illegal activities of powerful people. Officials from the Ministry of Punishment, Yushitai, Dali Temple, and the Punishment Department gather together, and the prime ministers tremble when they see them.
Tang Qi's body trembled and his face turned a little pale.
He saw an overwhelming net covering the Tang family.
Tangning walked out of Tiantian Residence, suddenly felt something in her heart, and looked somewhere ahead.
Seeing the two figures getting off the carriage, a smile appeared on his face, and he raised his hand and waved gently
