As the two Tan brothers stood there, anyone with a discerning eye could tell who was the one who was usually more calculating and resorted to all possible means.
Tan Guangyao yelled, and when he saw Mrs. Tan, he knelt on the ground in a weak manner, looking sincerely repentant. He was just afraid that Mrs. Tan would be too disappointed with him and not care about his life or death. When the crisis came,
At this critical moment, all the jealousy in my heart was revealed.
However, Tan Guangyao was seriously injured. His clothes were soaked with blood, and blood kept pouring out of the wound. Mrs. Chang had already stepped forward to stop the bleeding and bandage the wound.
"He suffered a lot," Uncle Lei stepped forward and told Xu Qinghuan what happened to Tali. "I have seen many people like this, and they will never tell the truth until the last moment."
Xu Qinghuan nodded and looked at Tan Guangwen.
"Second Master Tan is not injured," Uncle Lei said, "At least under my eyes, I can't let him die."
No one can escape the involvement of the Tan family's smuggling. Mrs. Tan and Tan Guangwen must have known some of the inside story before. It is the government's business to judge them guilty. Judging from the current situation, Tan Guangwen is not
A bad person.
After Uncle Lei found Tan Guangwen, he told Tan Guangwen the current situation. Tan Guangwen knew that Tan Guangyao and his people were following him and they would definitely take action against him. In this case, he refused to leave the pagoda and wanted to take this last opportunity to persuade Tan Guangyao.
I hope Tan Guangyao will wake up from this.
The pagoda is very narrow and cannot accommodate too many people. Uncle Lei was confident that he could control the overall situation, so he made a decisive move to save the Tan brothers at the critical moment. No matter how accurate the calculation is, there may be mistakes. If Tan Guangyao does not give
If Tan Guangwen had a chance to speak, he would take Tan Guangwen's life, and Uncle Lei might be helpless.
Tan Guangwen is willing to fight tooth and nail because he wholeheartedly wants to win the last chance for the Tan family.
Mrs. Tan now understood Tan Guangwen's painstaking efforts and couldn't help but shed tears: "You silly child..." She couldn't say the next words.
"Mother," Tan Guangwen said, "we can't make the same mistake again and again."
Mrs. Tan nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, I have figured it out, and I will tell everything I know." Both sons look like this, what else is she afraid of? When she went to Dongshan just now, she thought about the past
At that time, my family was not very wealthy, but my life was very peaceful. Later, I made some money from smuggling, and I became much more prosperous on the surface. However, I would inevitably feel frightened when carrying someone on my back.
"It's all my fault," Mrs. Tan choked, "I didn't take good care of you."
Mrs. Chang treated Tan Guangyao's injuries, and then the Shuntian Prefecture official escorted a group of criminals to Shuntian Prefecture.
Song Chengxuan watched the girl leading people down the mountain and narrowed his eyes slightly. Recently, he noticed that Xu Qinghuan always affected his mood to some extent.
After meeting An Yihou yesterday, the scene of his family's destruction and death many years ago came to his mind, and the heartbreaking pain felt like it was yesterday.
He did not question An Yihou about the situation back then, nor did he draw his sword against him. He was very restrained. It was absolutely impossible for him to plan things with An Yihou. What would An Yihou do in the court?
He won't care either.
As for Xu Qinghuan, he had already told her that the last secret in the Sun family's accounts was the smuggling of saltpeter... Even if they jointly investigated the case, he had already done enough.
Next, it would be inconvenient for him to come forward again and he would just have to wait for the whole case to be revealed.
If the imperial court wants to investigate the Zhang family's smuggling case, it must find out who is buying and selling saltpeter with the Zhang family. The adults in Beijing naturally don't understand pirates and Japanese people. He, a member of the Quanzhou Navy, is in Beijing, no matter who
He will be summoned for questioning during the trial.
Everything went on the right track, and there was no need for him and Xu Qinghuan to join forces again.
Last night, he stood by the window and watched Xu Qinghuan silently leave with Marquis Anyi.
While he was talking to Anyihou, Xu Qinghuan just sat aside and watched quietly from beginning to end.
His attitude towards An Yihou is very obvious. Xu Qinghuan will use this as a basis to further guess his identity, and she should already have a definite answer.
A smart person will not cause trouble for himself. Xu Qinghuan should know to stay away from him as much as possible at this moment, because he may not be able to suppress the anger in his heart at any time...
And he should do the same, let everything proceed according to the original plan, and should not be influenced by anyone or anything.
He has already made a decision. Xu Qinghuan will leave here tonight. They will not meet again in the future, at least they will not be able to jointly investigate the case again.
What he didn't expect was that she would come back again.
Naturally, she didn't expect that he would be standing in the yard. A look of surprise flashed across her face, but she still walked over, raised her head and looked at him, and then said gratefully: "Thank you."
Three very ridiculous words.
Why did you thank him? Didn't you take revenge on An Yihou?
He looked at her with a stern face, and she stared without hesitation. She was not afraid, nor did she hide anything. On the surface, she was just a weak woman, but she had courage that is rare to see in ordinary people.
The rain wet her cheeks, and he raised his hand to wipe the cold rain off her face.
She took a few steps back in surprise, but he didn't know what he was doing for a moment, so he turned around and walked into the house.
The next day I heard that she was coming to Dongshan. I didn't know whether to praise her for being bold or reckless.
Who were the people in the Zhang family's hands? She was undoubtedly using herself as bait for her actions. When the case reached this stage, he was unwilling to add any more complications, so he ordered his guards to come to Dongshan together.
After successfully catching the Tan brothers, no matter how capable Zhang Yucong is, he can't let the Zhang family stay out of the matter.
The Xu family's carriage was waiting there at the foot of the mountain. Feng Chu stepped forward to help Xu Qinghuan get into the carriage. Xu Qinghuan turned to look at Song Chengxuan. Under the sun, although he was wearing short brown clothes, he was still so conspicuous. Just now, the Zhang family was extremely panicked, so they didn't
Noticed the presence of Song Chengxuan.
"you owe me."
Song Chengxuan passed by her and suddenly said something lightly.
Xu Qinghuan was slightly startled.
What Song Chengxuan meant was that he helped her catch the servants of the Zhang family! Indeed, without Song Chengxuan, everything would not have gone so smoothly.
He seemed to have contributed more to this case than she... seemed to have done.
However, what does this debt mean? Since it is said that it is owed, she must be asked to pay it back one day.
Xu Qinghuan whispered: "Whenever Mr. Song needs my help, I will definitely do my best."
Song Chengxuan didn't say anything and walked away from her upright.
…
In the court hall, the Shuntian Mansion Yamen hurriedly handed over an urgent memorial.
The young emperor frowned slightly as he looked at the memorial.
The courtiers all looked at each other.
There is already a hint of tension in the air.
With a "pop", the memorial was thrown at Zhang Yucong's feet. The emperor raised his phoenix eyes and said coldly: "Why don't Zhang Aiqing tell the officials the contents of the memorial?"
