Chapter seven hundred and eighty-ninth shrinking turtle
Ling family.
A woman looked at Ling Wu, the head of the Ling family, and asked: "Feng'er has been arrested all day and night, why is there still no movement?"
"Why are you so anxious?" Ling Wu said with a calm face, "The Jingzhao Mansion will naturally release him after the case is finished."
The woman thought for a while and said, "Please..."
"A woman's opinion." Ling Wu glanced at her and said, "This case was assigned by His Majesty. Anyone who dares to interfere will immediately become a handle in the eyes of others. Jingzhao Mansion will have its own judgment on how to handle the case.
, just wait at home."
At the same time, the right feather guard Li Jia.
The young master of the Li family, Li Ming, was involved in the fight and arson case two days ago and has been detained in Jingzhao Mansion Office for one day and one night. Everything in the Li family is as before, without any panic.
In Prince Kang's palace, Prince Kang was flipping through the files related to the festival. A servant stepped forward and asked, "Your Highness, something happened to the Zhang family. Should we take care of it?"
"No need." King Kang said without raising his head, "Mr. Xu said that the Tang family is plotting against us. The purpose is to get Tang Ning and King Huai to join forces to bring down the Zhang family. This kind of thing will become more chaotic the more you control it."
The servant said: "What if King Duan takes the opportunity to take action?"
"Prince Duan?" Prince Kang curled his lips and said: "If he takes action, it will save me trouble. Unfortunately, Concubine Tang Hui and the Tang family are now raising him like a pig and not letting him move around. He is not as easy to deceive as before...
"
…
The cases that occurred in the capital two days ago mainly involved three generals. These three generals were related to King Kang, King Huai, and Marquis Dingguo. Everything was full of variables and attracted the attention of many people.
The case was difficult to handle, and it was his father-in-law who had a headache. Tangning's vacation ended and she came to Shangshu Province on time to handle his matters.
After reading more than a dozen brochures, he felt that something was not right.
More than half of these dozen reports were about the fight and arson case that happened two days ago.
If this case were placed in normal times, it would be an ordinary case. If those dandies did not cause any deaths, it would not be a big deal. The main reason was that the period was sensitive and it was unfortunate that Chen Huang was serious about it, so it was taken so seriously.
But no matter how serious you are, you will still have a measure. If so many officials are paying attention to you at the same time, someone must be behind it to add fuel to the flames.
Prince Huai was sitting opposite Tang Ning. In front of him, there were also a lot of papers piled up.
The two men raised their heads at the same time and looked at each other. King Huai asked: "Is it all about the arson case?"
Tangning nodded.
King Huai looked at him and asked, "What is going on?"
Tang Ning said: "The third young master of the Zhang family celebrated his birthday the day before yesterday and invited some friends to have a drink. It happened that Ling Feng, Li Ming and others were also having dinner at that restaurant. The two gangs got into a fight over an Accord, and finally got involved and burned the house down.
shop..."
King Huai thought for a while and whispered: "Zhang family, Ling family, Li family..."
Tang Ning looked at him and said, "Tang family."
King Huai nodded and said: "The Tang family is plotting against us, and the purpose is-the Zhang family."
A centipede insect, dead but not stiff. Although the Tang family has been in disgrace, but if they say that they have no reserve power secretly, even Tang Ning does not believe it.
Obviously, this is a game against the Zhang family and King Kang.
While they were scheming against the Zhang family, they also dragged the Ling family and the Li family into trouble, and made the matter bigger, indirectly trying to drag him and King Huai into the situation.
When the time comes, Tang Ning will protect the Ling family, King Huai will protect the Li family, and King Kang will definitely protect the Zhang family. In this case, it will become a struggle between Tang Ning, King Huai, and King Kang.
Obviously, no matter who wins or loses in this dispute, King Duan is happy to see it.
But they didn't expect that King Huai was such an old fox. Compared with the tricks he played against King Duan, these were just children's games.
Tangning and King Huai looked at each other and pushed the memorials into the trash can beside the table.
…
Capital, streets.
The government is already clearing out the restaurants and several shops that were burned down that night, but it has not yet been determined who is to blame for the case.
However, in the eyes of many people, it no longer matters who is blamed for this case.
The important thing is that this case involving King Kang, King Huai and Marquis Dingguo is destined to become an annual drama at the end of the third year of Dingyuan.
The Zhang family is the mother clan of King Kang. How could King Kang ignore them?
King Huai only has one princess and a family of princesses. How could he stand by and watch?
Not to mention Marquis Dingguo. His reputation as a naughty star has spread throughout the capital. Will he just watch the Ling family suffer?
However, when they thought that these three people would use their own methods to intervene in the case, neither King Huai, King Kang, nor Marquis Dingguo made any move.
We didn't see the imaginary power struggle, but the Zhang family took the initiative to take responsibility and were willing to double the compensation for the restaurant and shop owner's losses. The Jingzhao Yamen then settled the case, seemingly because of the positive and serious attitude of the Zhang family.
, there is no further punishment from His Majesty.
Obviously, the Zhang family gave in this time.
The opponent was too powerful, neither the Zhang family nor King Kang could afford to offend him, whether it was Marquis Dingguo or King Huai, who was entrusted with the important task.
When Tang Ning returned home from the office, she could clearly feel that her father-in-law was relieved.
In fact, the Zhang family's concession surprised him a little.
Judging from the information available to Jingzhao Mansion, neither Ling Feng, Li Ming, nor the young master of the Zhang family was the initiator of this incident.
The fight originated from a conflict between two followers from both sides, and then gradually expanded to involve more than a dozen people.
The Zhang family took a step back and were willing to take responsibility. For the Jingzhao government office, it would be best if the case could be concluded quickly.
This also made Tang Ning look at the Zhang family in a new light.
Even after the fall of King Kang, the Zhang family could still stand firm and stand like an evergreen tree. It is indeed not without reason.
At the same time, Prince Duan's Mansion.
Duan Wang looked in disbelief: "The Zhang family is so cowardly, is Zhao Cheng so cowardly?"
The servant next to him nodded and said: "Back to Your Highness, the head of the Zhang family came forward and was willing to compensate for the losses of those shops. The shopkeepers withdrew the complaint, and this case is over."
"Where is King Huai, and where is Tangning?" Prince Duan asked with a look of reluctance on his face, "When they harmed me, they used one method after another. Why is there no movement this time?"
The servant said: "The Zhang family has already taken responsibility. Ling Feng and Li Ming are fine. Naturally, they don't need to come forward..."
Prince Duan sat down in frustration and asked, "What did the Tang family say?"
The servant said: "The two Tang lords said that there will be many opportunities in the future, and we will have a long future."
King Duan asked: "What else?"
The servant thought for a while and said: "They also said that His Highness should eat well, drink well and sleep well in the palace, and don't act rashly."
…
Tang House.
Tang Huai had a regretful expression on his face and shook his head: "These two little foxes were indeed not fooled. Not only that, even Prince Kang was so calm..."
Tang Qi looked at him and said: "Kang Kang is busy with the ceremony in Zongzheng Temple these days. Maybe he doesn't know about it at all. But the Zhang family, even taking the blame for something that is not their own, is willing to be a tortoise...
…”
Tang Zhao raised his head and said: "As the saying goes, a thousand-year-old tortoise and a ten-thousand-year-old turtle will live longer if they shrink their heads. No matter whether the opponent is a tiger or a wild dog, as long as the opponent shrinks his head, who can take advantage of the turtle?"
He shook his head and said, "If the Tang family had been willing to be turtles, they wouldn't have ended up like today..."
[PS: The next plot has not been finalized, and there is still no update today, but don’t worry, I said it will be completed in May, and it will be completed in May.]
