Chapter 355 I am the old lady of the Hou Mansion 44
Tang Bai not only raided the subordinates in the family, but also took advantage of Tang Brown's absence to take people to raid Zhang's small warehouse.
The Zhang family has been in charge of the family for more than ten years, and there are really a lot of things in her small warehouse.
A lot of things that were originally in the public middle school were found in Zhang's small warehouse.
Then, Tang Bai didn't stop doing anything, found Zhang's dowry list, sorted out the things on the dowry list, and got all the rest of the things to the public middle school treasury.
Zhang is locked up now, and he doesn't know about these things at all.
Later, Liu's daughter-in-law cried to the Song family, told Tang Bai about these things, and begged the Song family to intercede or something.
The Song family is really angry.
She immediately called someone to ask Tang Bai and his family to come over quickly.
Tang Bai now has someone to support him, but he is not afraid of the Song family at all.
He went to the main room with Li unhurriedly.
As soon as you enter the door, a teacup is smashed in front of you.
Tang Bai pulled Li Shi and quickly dodged.
Song's angry face was swollen blue: "You still dare to hide? You are an unfilial son, you have lost the old face of your ancestors for several lifetimes." ”
Tang Bai is very confused now: "What kind of shame did I lose face, didn't I just copy the house, the emperor still copied the house, I was not allowed to copy it, I copied my own minions, what's the matter, isn't it still possible?"
Li is not afraid of the Song family now, she smiled on her face: "Old lady, slaves are not allowed to have private wealth, you know this, but our slaves are good, one by one to damage the public fat and private, the public treasury is almost empty, but these slaves are swaggering outside to become a rich man, not to mention, just your companion Liu Da's family has several recognitions, that is, the current silver has been copied out of 100,000 taels, you know, our father-in-law does not have so much silver, and the second brother and sister's companion family has a lot of money." ”
She said this with a smile, but Song felt that she was mocking herself.
Song was even more angry: "You are copying the slave's house with such fanfare, and you are not afraid of people's jokes." ”
Tang Bai stiffened his neck: "What's the joke? I think who dares to laugh? Besides, it's good to have money, whoever likes to joke will laugh, anyway, I have a lot of meat." ”
The Song family was angry and wanted to stone Tang Bai to death.
"Okay, okay, I'm talking now, are you not listening or what......"
Tang Bai didn't pay attention to her anymore, took Song's hand and walked out, and said as he walked: "Old lady, there are still many things to do with my son, no, I asked Tao'er to invite people from the yamen, these minions have committed crimes, and our own punishment is a little inappropriate, so it's better to send them to the yamen." ”
Song scolded angrily, and said: "You also moved Zhang's dowry, you give her back, you ......"
Tang Bai smiled: "I didn't touch my brother and sister's dowry, I took our own things, my brother and sister's dowry list is still there, let the Zhang family go, and I will kneel down to his Zhang family and snort his head." ”
When he said this, the Song family couldn't get angry if he wanted to.
Tang Bai took advantage of this opportunity to run away with the Li family.
He took the things he had stolen from the Zhang family and those subordinates and sold some of them, plus the gold and silver he copied out, he really made up enough money owed by the household.
On the same day, Tang Bai asked Tang Tao to press several carts of silver and some furniture, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and other things to the household.
Now there is some chaos in the north, and the court wants to start a war with the north, but the household department does not have much silver, and the secretary of the household department is in a hurry, so he saw Tang Tao bring a lot of silver this day.
He didn't react for a while: "Tang Tao, who are you?"
Tang Tao went over to see the salute: "Master Secretary, my subordinates came to return the silver owed by the household department on my father's orders, but the family has called the slaves to be hollowed out over the years, my father wanted to return it, but the family has no money, and there is no way, I recently learned that those people are fat and oily, no, our father and son ruthlessly copied the homes of a few slaves, the silver is not enough, and there are some things sent, my lord, can you help me cash it out?"
Why can't this be?
Don't say anything else, just say that the Tang family was the first to come to repay the silver, and this alone, the secret book can't make the Tang family suffer.
He hurriedly called someone to register, and took the IOU that the Tang family had placed in the household department over the years to reconcile the accounts.
The Tang family owed more than 300,000 taels of silver, and now Tang Tao has brought 200,000 taels of silver, and the rest are some antiques, calligraphy and paintings, as well as bulky but very good furniture.
The people in the household department counted the things and folded them in.
In the end, the Tang family still owed more than 10,000 taels of silver.
Tang Tao took out a stack of silver tickets from his sleeve and handed it to the secret book: "This is my daughter-in-law who knows about my family and uses her dowry to fill this hole." ”
Mi Shangshu took the silver ticket and filed it, returned the IOU to Tang Tao, and crossed out the account about the silver owed by the Tang family, and then smiled: "You are married to a good wife, you have to be kind to your wife in the future, don't let others down." ”
Tang Tao smiled: "This is certain, if I dare to fail her, my father and mother will not be able to spare me." ”
The secret book sent the silver and objects into the treasury here, and then hurried into the palace.
He told Emperor Yongguang about the return of the silver by the Tang family, and Emperor Yongguang laughed: "It seems that Empress Taishang is really knowledgeable." ”
It turned out that Emperor Yongguang went to the garden that day to find the Emperor Taishang and talk about debt collection, which was deliberately told to the Empress Taishang.
He came to give Empress Taishang a foundation and let her know that this thing must be done.
Second, it is also a temptation to see what the attitude of Queen Taishang is.
If Empress Taishang wants to protect the Tang family, then he has to find another way.
I didn't expect this Empress Taishang to be really smart and right-minded, so he said this, no, within a few days, the Tang family returned the silver in a hurry.
With the Tang family taking the lead, the next debt collection will be much easier.
Of course, Emperor Yongguang did not take the silver returned by Tang Bai in vain.
In order to make the next things easier, he issued an order to reward Tang Bai, although he did not promote Tang Bai's title, but it gave the Tang family enough face, and at the same time, Tang Tao's errand in the household department also changed, he was directly promoted from the sixth rank Lang to the fifth rank of the foreign lang, and in just a few days, he was directly promoted by two levels.
Tang Tao is not happy here, and Tang Bai is also very happy.
But Song was depressed.
Tang Brown has been an official for so many years, but he is only a fifth grade, and Tang Tao was promoted to five grades just after doing an errand, which made the Song family feel very sorry for Tang Brown.
The Song family was angry, so they pondered how to treat Tang Bai's father and son.
It's just that before she could figure out a way, An Ning issued an order to reprimand the Song family.
An Ning gave an order, and the stabbing person accused the Song family of being unkind to his mother, and there were no rules in charge of the family, and there was no distinction between the young and the old, so that the young son lived in the main hall, but the eldest son was forced to live on the edge of the stable, and finally asked the Song family to think about it behind closed doors.
With this will, the Song family almost didn't get angry.
She has been beautiful all her life, but when she is old, she is so subordinate, how can she stand it.
After that, Song became ill.
But someone from the Ministry of Rites came to the door.
Taking advantage of Song's illness, the Ministry of Rites inspected the entire Tang Mansion and asked Tang Bai to replace the Zhongyong Marquis' Mansion with the Zhongyong Uncle's Mansion, and at the same time, he also changed many irregularities.
In addition, it is to urge the second room to move and vacate the main house for the big house.
