Of course, Kong Yulin's explanation was very Spring and Autumn style, but she probably understood the meaning.
Therefore, people in high positions do need to be very cautious in doing things. Even unintentional words and deeds are likely to be over-interpreted.
Tang Shijin listened quietly and nodded: "I see, since I unintentionally caused them harm, then these people should stay with me for now. Thank you Kong Xiaolang for your generous intervention, please."
Before Kong Yulin could say anything more, she served tea to see the guests off.
Kong Yulin was sulky in his heart, but he didn't dare to show any of it on his face. He cupped his hands with a smile on his face, "Yes, yes, you don't have to be polite, Mr. Guo. Then Yulin will leave first."
On one side, he respectfully stepped back.
Tang Shijin turned around and found Wu Buzheng.
This kind of thing is known to many people in the market, and it was not difficult for Wu Buzheng to investigate it.
This Tang Liansheng had some issues with Kong Yulin before.
Tang Liansheng was good-looking and good at reading. He entered the academy at the age of twelve. His husband praised him as a beautiful jade, so everyone called him Xiao Yulang.
Later, although the Tang family fell into decline, his quiet and silent look in his scholar's shirt particularly aroused women's maternal nature, making people feel sorry for him, and his reputation as Xiao Yulang became even more popular.
As for Kong Yulin, his family is not here, he came here with his uncle, and his wife and children are not around. He is quite romantic. He often hangs out in brothels, spends a lot of money, and has a good reputation.
As a result, one time I spent thousands of taels on a beautiful girl's first night. Unexpectedly, she actually refused, saying that the guests of the first night had to choose by themselves.
Others asked her what she wanted to choose, and she said: "I want it to be like Xiao Yulang from the Tang family."
In fact, Tang Liansheng was still young at that time, and it was just a joke and a romantic anecdote. But as Kong Yulin was rejected in public, it must have been very embarrassing.
Anyway, after that, he caused trouble for Tang Liansheng more than once. Although Tang Liansheng was not good at martial arts, he was very smart and talented. Every time he left arrogantly, he would always come back defeated.
So the festival became more and more intense.
Until later, Tang's mother died, and Tang Liansheng went to file a complaint.
Because of Tang Liansheng's reputation, the case was carefully investigated, and there seemed to be no problem. The autopsy revealed that Mrs. Tang had indeed died of poisoning, but Tang Liansheng did not have any evidence to prove that it was Uncle Tang's hand.
.It is said that he also found two servants to testify at that time, but they later disappeared.
In short, the evidence is insufficient.
But the prefect took pity on him for redressing his parents' grievances, and had no intention of slapping him. But then Kong Yulin went there, and for some reason, the prefect gave him twenty smacks.
Wu Buzheng said: "Our people heard Tang Zhongcheng talking to others. This child's mother-in-law is really their hand. And in all likelihood, even his father did it... To be honest, this child is real."
He was smart and decisive. At that time, he was not yet fifteen, his mother died, and he was in crisis every step of the way, so he decisively handed over the family property to the less innocent forces here. Firstly, it would not fall into the hands of the enemy, and secondly, it would not fall into the hands of the enemy.
In exchange for a piece of asylum, he can survive until now, and these people have also extended their hands."
Tang Shijin nodded thoughtfully: "He may also know that the evidence is insufficient, and he just wants to make a fuss about the matter. If the matter is too loud, the other party will also have scruples."
She asked: "Then what? What happened this time?"
Wu Buzheng spread his hands: "Master must have guessed that Kong Yulin has been staring at the master, and then maybe seeing that the master has been going to that house to have breakfast, he secretly asked someone to reveal the news to Tang Zhongcheng. Sure enough, Tang Zhongcheng took action, and he
Take the opportunity to sell a good deal."
Tang Shijin thought for a while and said, "Then what happened back then can still be found out if we file a serious complaint?"
"I guess Xuan," Wu Buzheng said: "Witnesses and other evidence must have been dealt with. Even if we come forward to complain and beat Tang Zhong, there may be people in the future who will say that he was beaten and beaten."
Tang Shijin nodded.
there.
Tang Shijin and Kong Yulin went out. Mrs. Liu quickly got up and stepped forward to support Tang Liansheng.
Tang Liansheng endured the severe pain in his heart and managed to sit up straight with the help of his wet nurse.
He has been paralyzed for three years. Originally it was only his legs, but gradually moved up. Now even his arms are weak and he is just waiting to die.
He thought he would die so peacefully, but he didn't expect that Tang Zhongcheng would catch him and take him home again.
Nearly three years have passed, and all the favors he bought with money have been exhausted. He is not afraid of death, he only wishes he could kill his enemies with his own hands, and hates that he has brought trouble to his wet nurse and wet nurse.
Unexpectedly, things turned around and they only stayed for one night before they were forcibly picked up.
The person who picked him up was Kong Yulin, who had had some trouble before.
In fact, he had heard many stories about Tang Shijin.
But the rumors couldn't be fully believed. Kong Yulin knew very well that Kong Yulin was ill-intentioned towards him. He definitely didn't mean well by sending him here.
Fortunately, in the Tang Dynasty, Jin loved wealth.
He must plan carefully. No matter what, he must keep the wet nurse and wet nurse. They have been implicated enough by him.
Tang Lian's sore forehead was slightly sweaty, but she pursed her thin pale lips tightly, trying to calm down and think carefully.
Before he could come up with a foolproof plan, the door opened.
He opened his eyes and saw two figures walking in. He blinked quickly and saw the people in front of him clearly.
It was Tang Shijin and a young man.
Both of them stood in front of him, looking at him carefully. Tang Lian said anxiously: "My lord," while wanting to salute.
The young man reached out and held his wrist with interest in his eyes.
Then he turned around and said, "Master."
Tang Shijin nodded: "Take her away."
Tang Liansheng was stunned.
He has been extremely beautiful since he was a child, so of course he knows that some men have some quirks, but now that he is like this, can they still be interested?
Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu had already knelt down to salute and did not dare to raise their heads.
Seeing the man coming forward and hugging him easily, he bit his lip and said quietly: "My lord."
Tang Shijin hummed, and Tang Liansheng said quietly: "Mr. Guo, our Tang family has two recipes that have been handed down from generation to generation and have never been given to anyone... If the Duke can let us go, Tang is willing to send the recipes."
Tang Shijin knew as soon as he heard this that he had misunderstood.
But when a person is in a desperate situation, he can better see his nature. If nothing else, this kind of calmness is extremely rare.
So she pondered for a moment and then said: "Two recipes for three people? I don't do business at a loss."
Tang Liansheng looked at her: "Well, I just want to protect my wet nurse and wet nurse. Tang has been ill for a long time. If you don't dislike her, I will do whatever you can to deal with her."
Tang Shijin said: "I want to ask you a question, why did you give away all your family wealth to outsiders?"
"It's a last resort," Tang Liansheng said sternly: "If I hadn't paid attention in advance, these would have been taken away by that person! I had been poisoned before I filed the complaint and was unable to protect myself, so I had no choice but to do it. I don't have money.
I will be wildly dealt with by those who seek profit, and this wealth can also be exchanged for a convenient care. Furthermore, even if there is no benefit at all, I am not willing to use my father's hard-earned wealth to benefit my enemies."
In his weakness, his voice was extremely soft, but his eyes were firm and inexplicably sonorous.
