If these officials from the pseudo-Tang Dynasty came here for money, they wouldn’t just leave yesterday and come back today. Even the greedy officials wouldn’t come here every day to beat the autumn wind!
Even if these officials were really greedy and wanted to come here every day to make money, they wouldn't come in the evening. They could come in the morning or afternoon, when the sun was shining brightly and it was warmer. Why would they come here now?
It comes in the evening when the wind blows.
As for the spies of the Ming army, he would naturally not believe these low-level excuses. What the fake Tang officials said was nothing more than an excuse to extort money.
That's all, let's just treat it as a waste of money and eliminate the disaster. Dong Song'an comforted himself like this, but at the same time, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. If Xingquan Mansion was still under the rule of the imperial court, even the Dong family would be second to none in Xingquan Mansion.
The family is also a very upper-class family, with a scholarly family heirloom, even Song Zhiwen, the prefect of Xingquan Prefecture, will give them a favor.
How dignified and majestic that is!
Unfortunately, after the rise of the puppet Tang thief army, the Dong family, like other official families, immediately faced a huge crisis.
Some large households chose to cooperate with the puppet rebels of the Tang Dynasty and became open traitors, while others swallowed their anger and did not dare to go west when the puppet rebels of the Tang Dynasty asked them to go east.
And some people chose to flee like their own family, hiding in the countryside or even going to other places.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but said: The world is getting worse!
After taking two quick steps, he arrived at the door. As the servant opened the door, he also saw the people outside. However, what surprised him was that there were more people outside than yesterday, and there were not only
It was yesterday's pseudo-Tang official police chief and police officer, as well as a few people who looked like pseudo-Tang officials.
Although the Pseudo-Tang Dynasty did not have any formal official robes, these Pseudo-Tang officials also did not wear formal official robes, but only wore Confucian-style robes.
However, the Confucian attire of these people is somewhat different from that worn by ordinary scholars, such as Dong Songan himself, because the collar is red and embroidered with patterns of birds and animals.
This kind of clothing, which was born out of Confucian clothing, was actually gradually formed in the official circles of the Tang Dynasty in the past two years.
Because Li Xuan was originally a scholar, when Li Xuan came to this era, he naturally wore Confucian clothes every day.
Later, in order to show his status as emperor, he began to embroider dragon patterns on Confucian clothes. However, Li Xuan started to embroider several big snakes on his solid-colored robes. After wearing them, he looked like a singer in a big opera, so he simply stipulated that,
As the emperor's daily uniform, don't embroider the dragon pattern on the chest and back. Just embroider the dragon pattern directly on the collar.
As the saying goes, those who are favored by superiors are favored by those who are subordinates. Li Xuan likes to wear this kind of clothes, and the Tang Dynasty did not have time to stipulate how the civil servants should regulate the government. In the past, Liu Bagou wore Taoist robes, and so did several others.
He was dressed as a scholar, and later he began to imitate the same. Like Li Xuan, he wore Confucian clothes directly, and then embroidered bird and animal patterns on his collar. Naturally, these birds and animals cannot be embroidered randomly. Liu Bagou
They imitated the official robes of the Ming Dynasty without much creativity.
The first rank is a crane, the second rank is a golden pheasant, the third rank is a peacock, etc. As for the Hanlin Academy lecturer in front of me, as a fifth rank official, he naturally embroiders the white pheasant.
Although Dong Songan's understanding of the official system of the Pseudo-Tang Dynasty was very limited, he recognized the white phoenix and immediately knew that the middle-aged Pseudo-Tang official in front of him was probably a fifth-rank official, and his rank was not low.
There are still a few eighth- and ninth-grade pseudo-Tang officials left.
But what surprised him was not these pseudo-Tang officials, but two other people. Those two people were none other than the slaves of the Dong family who stayed in the Xingquan Mansion to look after the house.
When the two slaves saw him, they immediately shouted: "Young Master!"
Hearing this call, the several pseudo-Tang officials outside all showed complicated expressions. The middle-aged pseudo-Tang official wearing a white Confucian uniform at the head stepped forward and said: "Are you the Dong family of Zhengtai? Dong
Who are you, Mr. Shi Qingpu?"
Dong Songan didn't know where he was at this time, and his identity had been completely exposed. Even the slaves came to the door to recognize him. Even if he denied it, he couldn't deny it. At this time, he took a deep breath and said: "I'll wait for him."
This is Mr. Dong from Zhengtai, and the person you are talking about is my father!"
However, the reaction of the pseudo-Tang official next made Dong Songan a little confused.
I saw the pseudo-Tang official immediately put on a respectful look and said: "Huang Jiashi, a lecturer at the Hanlin Academy, has met Uncle Guo!"
As soon as these words came out, Dong Songan's face turned pale!
Dong Songan had previously suspected that the pseudo-queen Dong in the pseudo-Tang Dynasty was his third sister, because from the rumors he knew, the two were too coincidental.
Zhengtai Dong family, scholarly family, and a lady, these key words are put together, and anyone with a discerning eye will know at a glance that this is the daughter of their Dong family.
And combined with the fact that my third sister was robbed by bandits when she went to offer incense last year, by this time, her identity was basically correct.
However, even if he had doubts, they were just doubts. He did not say that he really believed that his third sister Dong Yunyun had really become the fake empress of the Tang Dynasty.
However, when he heard the words of the man in front of him, he could hardly breathe. How could this be possible? It was absolutely impossible. If this was true, then the Dong family would be facing an irreversible crisis!
Now, what he thinks about is that once the court finds out that his third sister is the fake empress of the Tang Dynasty, he will definitely be furious. His father's official title will definitely be lost. Maybe he and everyone will be implicated, and they will kill the Nine Clan.
That is a serious crime of treason, and it will punish the Nine Clans!
When he thought that dozens of members of the Dong family would be pushed to Caishikou and beheaded, with dozens of heads rolling down, he finally couldn't stand, and fell to the ground as soon as his feet gave way.
The boy beside him was obviously frightened and did not help Dong Songan for a moment, letting Dong Songan fall to the ground.
Upon seeing this, Huang Jiashi immediately stepped forward and helped Dong Songan up: "Uncle Dong Guo, how are you? Are you okay?"
Qu Guangtai on the side also stepped forward to help Dong Songan up and said: "It seems that Uncle Guo couldn't accept this surprise for a while, so he couldn't react. It will be fine after a while!"
When Dong Songan heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched. Is this a surprise? This is a fright!
After finally regaining his composure, Dong Songan struggled to get rid of Huang Jiashi and Qu Guangtai's hands. In desperation, he forced himself to defend himself and said: "Don't talk nonsense, my third sister had already contracted a cold and passed away last year!"
