When he heard the word "Tang Ning", Ruan Qiang felt like he was struck by lightning, and he didn't recover for a long time.
In Chen Guo's officialdom, there is probably no one who doesn't know Tang Ning's name.
Even though this is remote Wanzhou, this name is often mentioned.
General, Marquis of Dingguo, and Prime Minister of the Right, he was only in his early twenties when he achieved these achievements that ordinary people could not achieve in their lifetime.
When Ruan Qiang was twenty-five years old, he was still working hard to prepare for the imperial examination. He planned to pass the imperial examination and it would be best to fill the vacancy of a county magistrate...
At that time, he worshiped Confucius and Fang Zhe before taking the exam. The former was a sage teacher and the latter was a legend in the imperial exam.
Today's students probably worship Confucius and Tang Ning.
The title of Three-Yuan Champion, General, Marquis of Dingguo, and Right Chancellor of the DPRK, these titles only have a few cold words, but behind this coldness, there is a warmth that is enough to move anyone's face.
The person in front of me is similar in age to the legendary figure, and has the same name.
Ruan Qiang's lips trembled a little. He looked at Tang Ning and asked respectfully, "Sir, are you the Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty?"
Tang Ning nodded and reminded him: "I am here to investigate the rebellion in Guizhou Province. Please do not make any announcement about my identity."
Ruan Qiang immediately stood up and said solemnly: "Don't worry, sir, I will definitely not reveal your identity..."
His attitude was very respectful, because he knew this was his opportunity, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Whether he can leave Wanzhou and get rid of the title of Ruan Laoer depends on whether he can seize this opportunity.
As for the Liang family, the Liang family, and local gangsters, judging from past experience, wherever Tangning is, he is the gangster, and anyone who provokes him will not end well.
At the same time, as long as you hold his thigh tightly, are you afraid that you will not be promoted?
Before Tang Ning could speak, he took the initiative and said, "I will personally go to the Liang family to negotiate about this girl's matter. Please rest assured..."
Tang Ning said, "Then I'll trouble Mr. Ruan."
"No trouble, no trouble..." Ruan Qiang waved his hand and said, "This is all the official's responsibility."
Ruan County Lieutenant went to the Liang family to negotiate. Tang Ning also left the Ruan family and came to the place where they lived with Zhao Yun'er.
According to her, after Zhao County Cheng died on the road to exile, she and her mother returned to their hometown in Wanzhou and lived in the old house.
Although the life at that time was not as good as when she was an official lady, they sold some items in the old house and had some savings.
It's a pity that her mother soon became addicted to gambling, lost all her savings, and sold the old house. Later, Zhao Yun'er forced her to die, and finally she was able to save a sum of money and buy this dilapidated yard.
Let them barely have a place to shelter from the wind and rain.
The location of this house was undoubtedly a gathering place for poor people in Wanzhou. Along the way, many idle people she met on the road cast strange glances at her.
Zhao Yun'er avoided the eyes of those people and walked to the courtyard with Tang Ning. She quickly closed the door and said, "I, I'll get you some water."
Tangning shook her head and said, "No, I'm not thirsty."
Zhao Yun'er looked up at him, forced a smile on her face, and said: "There is nothing to entertain at home..."
"You don't have to be so polite." Tang Ning casually sat on a stone bench in the courtyard and said, "I never thought we would see each other again one day after we said goodbye."
Zhao Yun'er said: "I, I didn't expect to see Tang Da again... I didn't expect to see you again."
After she said this, the atmosphere became a little awkward. Zhao Yuner mustered up her courage, raised her head and asked, "Is Sister Zhong okay?"
"She is very good." Tangning smiled and said, "She often talks about you to me..."
…
While Tang Ning and Zhao Yuner were chatting, Ruan Qiang met the young head of the Liang family in the Liang family.
The Liang family is a wealthy local family. If the Wanxian magistrate wants to meet the head of the Liang family, he can't do it just because he wants to.
However, the county captain is an official and is considered a figure in Wanxian County, so it is inappropriate to reject him directly. Generally speaking, the young head of the Liang family is the one who handles these small matters.
Ruan Qiang walked into the hall, cupped his hand to a young man, and said, "Master Yu."
Liang Yu, the young head of the Liang family, looked at him and asked with a smile: "What kind of wind brought Master Ruan here today?"
Ruan Qiang got straight to the point and said, "To be honest, Ruan came to visit us today because he has something to ask for."
"Oh?" Liang Yu looked at him and said, "Sir Ruan, it doesn't matter."
"That's it." Ruan County Lieutenant looked at him and said: "Ruan has a friend. Her mother accidentally offended the second young master and was detained in the Liang family. Ruan is here to keep the Liang family company.
I hope the eldest son can be merciful and let her go..."
He placed three silver notes on the table and said, "This is the money she owes the casino. Ruan paid it back on her behalf."
"Such a trivial matter is not worthy of Mr. Ruan's personal trip." Liang Yu waved his hand and said to a servant behind him: "Go and let him go."
Ruan County Lieutenant's face showed joy, he stood up, cupped his hands and said: "Thank you, eldest son."
Liang Yu smiled and said: "It's a trivial matter..."
After Ruan Xianwei thanked him and left, Liang Yu sat down again. Before he finished his cup of tea, a figure hurried in from outside.
A young man with scratches on his face walked in quickly, looked at him, and said angrily: "Brother, why did you let the person I arrested go?"
"The person you arrested?" Liang Yu looked at him and said, "Are you a government official? Why do you arrest people?"
"She still owes me three hundred taels of silver!" The young man said, "It is only natural to pay back debts. Even if you go to the government, I will be justified."
Liang Yu pointed to the table and said: "The 300 taels of silver, Ruan Qiang, the county lieutenant of Wanxian County, has already paid it back for her. He wants the Liang family to release her."
"Who is the Wanxian County Captain? Why should we listen to him?" The young man said with a look of disdain: "That woman scratched my face, and she can't get away with just three hundred taels of silver."
"Okay, okay." Liang Yu glanced at him and said, "How many times have I told you to keep a low profile..."
The young man glanced at him and said, "If I had been high-profile, I would have used force on her daughter long ago. Originally, she was willing to use her daughter to pay off the debt, but you, brother, did something bad..."
Liang Yu looked at him and said, "If you want a woman, go to a brothel. Why can't you find a woman there?"
The young man said angrily: "Can that be the same?"
"Okay, this matter is over here." Liang Yu waved his hand and said, "Just think of it as betraying the county captain of Wanxian County to save face."
"Why should we sell his face?" Liang Tao stood up and said, "We are the Liang family. In Wanzhou and the entire southwest, whose face do we need to sell?"
Liang Yu glanced at him and said, "Do you know why you can stand here and talk so shamelessly?"
Liang Tao said: "Because the Liang family has this strength."
"Because the Liang family is obedient." Liang Yu looked at him and said, "You must know who gave the Liang family everything they have now, and you must also know whose words you should listen to. The consequences of disobedience will be yours."
I wouldn’t want to try it…”
When Liang Tao heard this, he seemed to have thought of something, and his body couldn't help but trembled, but he still said unwillingly: "What if they are willing?"
Liang Yu glanced at him and said meaningfully: "You should pay attention to your own propriety, otherwise it will not be good for anyone when the time comes."
Liang Tao understood the deep meaning of his words, grinned and said, "Don't worry, I know what's appropriate..."
