Chapter 255 The Royal Pharmacy Dispute, Offended the Eunuch
Xiao Tang saw that Tang's father wanted to raise an army to investigate the crime himself, so he quickly explained: "Uncle misunderstood. Sister Peng Xiu and I treated each other like guests all the way. How could I go beyond the rules and disrespect her?"
Seeing this, Tang Pengxiu also hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Dad, what are you talking about? Brother Xiao Tang and I have nothing to do with each other. Who do you think your daughter is?"
Well...even though some things happened, I can't discuss them with this old man in detail...
Tang's father stared at Xiao Tang for a long time, and then listened to Tang's mother's advice, and he slowly sat down again. However, after such a disturbance, the atmosphere among everyone became a little more awkward. Tang's father coughed dryly and said: "Master Xiao Zeng acted righteously and saved my daughter. The Tang family will definitely repay such a great kindness, and I will also come to thank you someday. However, it seems to be a little inconvenient at the moment. Mr. Xiao... please come back."
Tang Pengxiu was even more reluctant when she heard this. She said angrily: "Dad also knows that brother Xiao Tang is my savior, but now he wants to drive him away. How can you treat your benefactor like this!?"
Tang's father's temper got worse again, and he said angrily: "Then how should I treat him? You have to give me your life to repay my kindness? I am not my wife, so how can he be regarded as the son-in-law of my Tang family!? Sure enough, he is the son-in-law of my Tang family! It’s girls who are outgoing! You girl, you don’t know how to respect yourself. I haven’t bothered you about going on a long trip with a man when you were unmarried. If you didn’t know some sense of proportion at that time, how could you be in that earthen pot? The temple was almost killed by a gangster!?"
Tang Pengxiu had been used to being cared for by the Tang family since she was a child, but had she ever heard her father scold him so harshly? Her eyes turned red, and tears welled up in her eyes. Xiao Tang saw Tang Pengxiu getting angrier as his father talked, and he did not want to talk to Tang Pengxiu. The parents were so confused that they said: "In this case, I have the right to disturb the younger generation. I will come to visit you another day."
Xiao Tang walked out of the Tang family, and he breathed a long sigh of relief. It was not that he was not mentally prepared for what happened just now. Even in later generations, if most people want to marry their girlfriends, they will always have to go through the scrutiny of the girl's parents. What's more, they came to ask the other party's parents if they could give him their daughter as his wife... The Tang family was not the kind of poor villagers who had no choice but to sell their children. If they hadn't been studying in Xiaotang, they would really have a crush on Tang Pengxiu. Well, I'm afraid I won't invite him out of the house so politely.
"Brother Xiao Tang!" Before Xiao Tang could take more than a dozen steps, Tang Pengxiu caught up with him in a hurry and said, "I'll go back with you!"
Xiao Tang was startled and said with a smile: "Didn't you just come out of home? Where are you going with me?"
Tang Peng said delicately: "What are you going to do now? My father is becoming more and more unreasonable."
"I can quite understand why uncle is like this." Xiao Tang shook his head and advised Tang Pengxiu: "Just imagine, if I had a daughter who had gone through all kinds of hardships to raise her, of course I would hope that she could find someone who could considerately and care for her throughout her life. A wishful man. But if a boy comes together with my daughter at this time, but can't even give her a title, how can I safely hand over my daughter to him?"
It is said that a daughter is his father's lover in his previous life and his close friend. But because of this, many fathers may not feel very comfortable when they first meet the person who will take care of their daughter on his behalf. Xiao Tang also He has seen many examples of women's fathers being critical of their daughters' boyfriends. Now that he was faced with this situation, Xiao Tang could understand the thoughts of Tang Pengxiu's parents.
Tang Pengxiu frowned slightly, thoughtfully, and then said: "But my parents don't know what kind of person you are, and what kind of person Sister Su is..."
Xiao Tang said with a smile: "Of course they don't understand. This matter cannot be rushed. In short, you should go home for the time being and don't contradict your uncle and aunt again because of your affairs. Otherwise, you will make them even more unhappy."
Tang Pengxiu said: "But... it's not a long-term solution if this continues. My father is very stubborn. Except for my grandfather, I'm afraid no one can talk to him about the things he's determined to do. If father insists, If you don’t agree, what should you do?”
You can always think of a way, not to mention that among the confidants in Xiaotang's house, Yan Qing, Shi Xiu and others are more clever than the others, but now is not the time to use those tricks to force the father-in-law to submit. After all, we still have to ask the father-in-law first. Tang Pengxiu's parents showed their sincerity. Of course, if Tang Pengxiu's father still did not have enough money and food, Xiao Tang would not mind using some means.
After some consolation, Tang Pengxiu and Xiao Tang walked around Bianjing Chang Street for more than an hour. When Tang Pengxiu said goodbye to Xiao Tang and walked to the door of her home, although Xiao Tang advised her not to contradict her parents, Tang Pengxiu was still very angry. She deliberately kept her face straight so that her father and mother would know that she was just unhappy.
But when Tang Pengxiu just bought the house, she saw seven or eight fierce military men locking her father up with iron chains, dragging and yelling at her and escorting Tang's father out of the room. Although Tang's mother and several servants were wailing and complaining, they couldn't. But he was roughly pushed aside.
Tang Pengxiu saw this and said angrily: "Stop! What are you doing?"
When one of the officers saw that Tang Pengxiu was pretty, his eyes rolled round Tang Pengxiu's body, and then he grinned and said: "Little lady, don't hinder the officers and soldiers from arresting criminals! This guy is greedy for personal gain and embezzlement." I bought some silver for medicinal purposes from the Imperial Pharmacy, and I am about to take it back for questioning. If it is irrelevant, avoid it, and don't block the official's work!"
Tang Pengxiu knew that his father was an upright and upright man. This time he came to the capital because he was invited by a famous doctor from Tai Hospital. How could he embezzle money from Moyu Pharmacy? Seeing his father full of grief and anger, he was dragged away by a wolf-like soldier. Staggeringly escorted out of the house. The complaints Tang Pengxiu had towards her father had long since disappeared. She screamed and rushed to stop her, but was pushed to the ground...

In the Imperial Palace's Provincial Hall, the promotion officer Yang Jian, with his legs crossed, was sitting calmly on the Grand Master's chair, listening to a boy report to him: "Master Tiju, the Tang doctor has been captured."
Yang Jian let out a long "hmm" and sneered: "I can only blame this guy for not knowing how to behave! The prescriptions in the imperial pharmacy of the inner government are all used by the official harem, how can we neglect them? There are thousands of them in stock. Planting medicinal materials for use or not, we are just buying some of the oil and water to supplement it, and he will also interfere with it and cut off our financial path. It's not that our family didn't give him a chance, this guy doesn't know how to praise! If our family doesn't punish him, we will still Which one can be fixed?”
Several cronies around Yang Jian nodded in agreement, and one of them said coldly: "Those blind things like Mou Jie, Cao Yi, Yang Zongli, and Du Shun from the Imperial Medical Bureau also punished Tang Langzhong to remind them. "
"Humph, they are just a few doctors, how dare they go against our family?" Yang Jian snorted coldly, and then said: "I heard that this Tang doctor's family is very famous in Bashu River, but to be honest, he is just an unofficial You are a humble citizen, but that guy is also blind, and he dares to show off his prestige with our family!"
"Eunuch, since we have taken control of this man named Tang, shall we..." Another of Yang Jian's cronies said and stretched out his hand to make a beheading gesture.
Yang Jian rolled his eyes and said leisurely: "Do you think our family is such a murderous and reckless man? God has the virtue of good life. Since the man surnamed Tang comes from a family of famous doctors, it is not good to ruin him like this.
life."
After hearing this, Yang Jian's close followers looked at each other. They also knew that according to Yang Jian's sinister and narrow-minded character, they just didn't want Tang's father to die immediately, but to let him suffer more while living. But they still nodded and bowed to Yang Jian, and praised him in unison.
My father-in-law was benevolent and righteous, so one of them asked again: "Now that I'm in trouble, how do you plan to punish this guy?"
"There are no flaws in the lie we made. Mr. Teng also knows something this time..." Yang Jian took a leisurely sip of tea and said lightly: "I heard that Jiangzhou is a good place, why not let him
Doctor Tang lived in the prison camp for a few years, working hard to strengthen his muscles and bones. He was able to treat people, but he didn't know how to treat himself?"
