"I have met your right minister." When the clerk saw Tang Ning, he bowed respectfully, then shook his head and said, "I don't know."
Tangning looked at the booklet in her hand with an expression of disbelief on her face.
This person reminded Aina once when she was involved in the women's martial arts competition.
He went to the grassland, and when Princess Yiyang was causing trouble in the capital, this man also sent a letter home.
The day before King Kang rebelled, this person sent a letter to remind him.
If it hadn't been for that letter, King Kang's rebellion would have probably been successful, and the situation in the capital would not be as stable as it is now.
Tangning didn't know who did all this secretly. His only impression of this person was that his handwriting was ugly.
Ugliness is also a characteristic. The imperial examination has extremely high requirements for handwriting, so all scholars can write well. Not to mention how valuable calligraphy is, at least what they write is neat.
This person's handwriting was like a dog crawling, and like a handful of scattered straw, Tang Ning recognized it at a glance.
But what surprised him was that the person who had reminded him many times in the past few days, and even revealed to him such things as Prince Kang's rebellion, actually came from Prince Kang's palace...
A young man appeared in Prince Kang's mansion. This was something he had never thought of.
King Huai came over and asked, "Have you discovered anything?"
"Nothing." Tangning smiled and put the book away.
King Huai noticed his actions, but didn't say anything, turned around and walked away.
Before King Kang's rebellion, he had almost nothing, and not many things were found in Prince Kang's mansion. Half an hour later, the household clerks had completed the statistics, and Tang Ning and King Huai left Prince Kang's mansion.
King Huai went back to the palace directly, but Tang Ning did not go home or go back to Shangshu Province, but went to the Ministry of Punishment.
After King Kang rebelled, all the servants of Prince Kang's palace were also captured and temporarily detained in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.
Tang Ning borrowed paper and pen from Song Yi, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, and drew a sketch of Prince Kang's Mansion. He came to the Tianlao of the Ministry of Justice, looked at a servant of the Prince's Mansion, and asked: "Who lives in this courtyard of the Prince's Mansion?
"
The servant looked at him and said, "Yes, it's Mr. Xu..."
"It's him..." A strange color flashed across Tangning's eyes, and the figure of a middle-aged man appeared in her mind.
When King Kang was still a prince, he had countless advisers around him, and Mr. Xu was one of them.
Tang Ning once investigated and found out that the reason why King Kang was able to compete with King Duan, who had the support of the Tang family, was that Mr. Xu was the one who took the greatest credit.
After King Kang was deprived of his throne, all the counselors around him dispersed, and only Mr. Xu remained by his side.
Tang Ning originally thought that he was a staunch supporter of King Kang and was determined to help King Kang overturn the situation, but she did not expect that he wanted King Kang to overturn the situation.
But if his goal is only King Kang, the first two reminders he made to himself cannot be explained...
Tang Ning asked several more people in Prince Kang's palace to confirm that the courtyard belonged to Mr. Xu, and then walked out of the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.
Song Yi came over and asked, "What did Tang Xiang gain?"
Tang Ning looked at him and asked, "Does Mr. Song know about Mr. Xu?"
Song Yi nodded and said: "This man is King Kang's number one adviser. We suspect that King Kang is plotting a rebellion, and he is the one who is behind the plan. It's just that when the Ministry of Punishment went to the palace to arrest people, they did not see this person. Now he has been arrested by sea."
The documents have been sent to various state capitals, and as long as he is in the territory of Chen State, he will not be able to escape."
When Tang Ning walked out of the Criminal Department and returned home, she still had no idea what Xu was doing.
He helped King Kang to rebel, but betrayed him at a critical moment. I wonder how King Kang would feel if he knew about this...
He stopped thinking about the things he couldn't figure out. He looked at Song Yi and said, "There's nothing else to do. I'll go back first. I'll trouble Mr. Song."
Song Yi cupped his hands and said, "Tang Xiang, walk slowly."
Tangning walked into the courtyard, seemed to have thought of something, paused in her steps, and turned back.
Song Yi looked at him and asked, "What else does Prime Minister Tang have to do?"
Tang Ning looked at him and said, "I want to check the files of a case. I hope Mr. Song can make it easier."
"Mr. Tang is so polite." Song Yi smiled and said, "What case is it? I'll have someone look for it."
Tang Ning looked at him and said, "How were Tang Yu and his wife found twenty years ago..."
In the vast country of Chen, trying to find two people is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Without official intervention, it is simply impossible.
And if he is wanted by the authorities, there will definitely be traces left here at the Ministry of Punishment.
Song Yi looked at him and said: "I'm afraid it's difficult to investigate the things that happened more than 20 years ago. At that time, I was not the Minister of the Ministry of Justice. But don't worry, Mr. Tang, I will have people look for it in a while. If I find it, I will send it to you immediately."
Come to the house."
Tang Ning cupped her hands and said, "Thank you, Mr. Song."
"It should be..."
…
What happened back then had something to do with him, and Tang Ning didn't want to remain so confused.
After asking Song Yi to take care of this matter, he went home directly.
There was a carriage parked in front of the Tang Mansion. Tang Ning had seen it many times. This was Princess Anyang's carriage. It should be Tang Shui's arrival.
Tangning came to the backyard and saw the two of them.
Princess Anyang glanced at him from a distance and said in a strange tone: "The Prime Minister of Tang is here. Anyang is not welcome from afar. Don't blame the Prime Minister..."
This woman's grudge was beyond Tang Ning's expectation. Tang Ning was too lazy to pay attention to her. She walked to Tang Shui, looked back and asked, "Is she inconvenienced these days?"
Tangning asked in confusion: "What's the inconvenience?"
"As a woman, there are always a few days that are inconvenient..." Tang Ning glanced at Princess Anyang and said, "It's just those days when the mood becomes impetuous and the temper becomes bad..."
Tang Shui's face turned red, he glanced at him and said, "You're out of shape!"
Tangning waved her hand and stopped worrying about the matter. She looked at her and asked, "Have you met Princess Fu?"
Tang Shui rolled his eyes at him and said, "Of course I've seen it before."
Tangning asked: "Is Princess Fu beautiful?"
Tang Shui glanced at him and asked, "Why do you ask this?"
"I'm just curious." Tangning finally asked her doubts and said, "Prince Fu looks like that, but the daughter he gave birth to is still human-like. She must have perfectly inherited Princess Fu's advantages..."
Tang Shui shook his head and said: "Prince Fu was not like this when he was young. It is said that when he was young, he was also a famous handsome man in the capital..."
"Beautiful man, he?"
Tangning looked stunned, even more shocked than when she learned that Mr. Xu had betrayed Prince Kang.
The title "famous handsome man in the capital" is not something that just anyone can get. No one calls him that, so why would it be used to describe King Fu?
No matter how Tangning imagined it, she could not connect King Fu with these three words.
"It's true. You can find out if you ask around." Tang Shui said: "It's just what happened later that made him what he is now."
"What's going on?" Tangning looked at her, the burning fire of gossip burning in her chest.
Tang Shui shook his head and said: "I don't know, that happened more than 20 years ago, and I heard about it accidentally."
Tang Ning originally wanted to ask a few more questions, but a maid asked them to come over for dinner.
The kitchen in this small courtyard is independent, and there are only the four of them eating. Normally, Tang Ning and Tang Yu are the majority. Sometimes Zhong Yisu Ru and the others will come over to accompany them.
Tang Ning was sitting at the table, her eyes casually glanced at Princess Anyang's wrist, and asked in surprise: "Where did your bracelet come from?"
Princess Anyang glanced at him and said, "Auntie gave it to me, can you take care of it?"
Tang Ning looked at Tang Yu and asked, "Mom, why did you give her the bracelet?"
Tang Yu smiled and said, "If it weren't for the princess' help, I wouldn't be able to see you. I should thank her."
"Listen..." Princess Anyang glanced at him and said, "Auntie is not like some people who repay kindness with hatred..."
"You can't wear this bracelet randomly..." Tangning originally wanted to say something, but in the end she just waved her hand and said, "Just give it to me."
Princess Anyang looked at him and said angrily: "What kind of attitude do you have? Shui'er can wear it, why can't I wear it?"
Tangning did not continue the topic, pointed to the lotus root on the table, and said, "You eat lotus root..."
