CHAPTER XLIV

Tang House.

"The head of the family, a letter from Chang'an." A servant came to report.

Tang Huaiyi, Tang Huairen's brother, with the support of the Zhao family, has become the head of the Tang family.

Tang Huaiyi took the envelope and flipped it to the back, only to see the red wax seal with a special seal stamped on it.

He was shocked, it was a letter from the Zhao family.

Nominally, Zhao is Tang Huaiyi's younger brother and sister, in front of outsiders, Zhao still has to greet Tang Huaiyi's brother, but in fact, without the help of Zhao's powerful character, there would be no Tang family today, let alone Tang Huaiyi's scenery, so in fact, Zhao is more like Tang Huaiyi's master.

Tang Huaiyi must obey her.

Over the years, Tang Huaiyi has also helped the Zhao family do a lot of immoral things, using power to monopolize trading and collecting money, using Tang Huairen's power as prime minister to buy and sell officials in Yangzhou City, and then incidentally oppressing and isolating the Zhang family.

It can be said that the Tang Mansion in Guangling County is a small treasury of the Zhao family.

The Zhao family has not heard from him for a long time, and now that he has suddenly written a letter, is there anything urgent to explain?

Tang Huaiyi sent people down, closed the door and window and opened the letter, there was only a blank piece of paper in the letter, only Tang Huaiyi knew that he had to sprinkle lamp oil to read the content of the letter.

The lamp oil faded from the middle of the paper, and the two lines of black letters were slowly revealed, and when Tang Huaiyi saw the content of the letter, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and his feet were a little weak.

It was written on the paper: Destroy the Zhang family, not a single one will be left.

What kind of cruel woman must be so cruel? Although Tang Huaiyi has done a lot of bad things for the Zhao family, he has never done such a thing as killing people and setting fires.

Moreover, the Zhang family was left with only defenseless old and weak women and children at this time, so poor that they couldn't even eat, and with the Tang family pressing, they might not be able to turn over for the rest of their lives. Isn't that enough?

Why do you want to kill them all?

Tang Huaiyi is far away in Guangling County, so he naturally won't know that since the last time Tang Xiaoshi made a big fuss about the 100-day banquet of the Qinwang Mansion, Tang Jiaojiao has become the abandoned wife of the prince in the Qinwang Mansion, and the son she gave birth to was also taken away by the concubine Degui.

Zhao naturally hated Tang Xiaoshi, but in Chang'an, she couldn't do anything about Tang Xiaoshi for the time being.

However, in Guangling County, she can cover the sky with one hand.

Tang Xiaoshi ruined Zhao's daughter, and Zhao wanted Tang Xiaoshi to pay for her blood debt.

So Zhao stretched out his hand to the Zhang family.

Although Tang Huaiyi was a little scared in his heart, he didn't dare to rebel against the Zhao family's intentions, otherwise, there would be another person to take his place, and the Zhao family never lacked people who were willing to do things for her.

……

……

It was lunchtime when there was a knock on the door from Zhang's house.

Who is it? The whole Guangling County is avoiding the Zhang family like a plague, who will knock on the door at this time?

"Here we go." Feng Shi hurried over and opened the door.

I saw a simple and generously dressed and dignified son standing outside the door, looking like a martial arts practitioner.

This person is none other than Chu Ming, who arrived in Yangzhou first.

Xiao Liu, who was standing behind Chu Ming, looked a little cold on his face, but he didn't look like a bad guy.

Feng asked, "I don't know who the son is?" ”

Chu Ming was polite and said, "Down here is Chu Ming, the husband of the little poem." ”

Chu Ming looked at Feng's age and thought that this was about his aunt, so he gave another salute and said, "Chu Ming has seen his aunt." ”

If Tang Xiaoshi was present, he would definitely smack Chu Ming's shameless splash, obviously he was the one who drove Tang Xiaoshi out of Jingwang's Mansion at that time, and now he is embarrassed to pretend to be a good uncle here!

Feng Shi didn't react for a while, and the usually shrewd person was stunned for a moment.

Aunt?

Little poems? Could it be Tang Xiaoshi who is far away in Chang'an?

Then isn't he the prince of Jing?

Because Chu Ming was thrown off a shoe board by Zhang Gang, he knew the violent temper of Tang Xiaoshi's family, so he was ready to dodge.

Sure enough, a sole smashed out, and Chu Ming dodged to the side and dodged.

An old man's voice came out: "You kicked Xiaoshi out of the house, and you dare to come to the door?" ”

This explosive temper is really father and son with Zhang Gang.

Chu Ming looked into the courtyard, and an old man with a strong body rushed out angrily, and the thick wooden pole in his hand had already been raised.

This battle is about to beat Chu Ming hard.

Chu Ming knew that it was his fault for driving Tang Xiaoshi out before, but now if he wants to redeem it, he can't hide this stick.

Feng, who was standing on the side, didn't have time to stop the old man.

"Bang!" With a muffled sound, the wooden battle hit Chu Ming's back, although Zhang Yuan was old, the strength of this stick was not small, Chu Ming was in pain, but he couldn't help but make a sound.

Zhang Yuan raised the wooden battle again, but saw that Chu Ming had no intention of dodging, and at this time he also regained a little reason and put the wooden battle back again.

However, Zhang Yuan's anger has not disappeared, the two things he regrets the most in his life are that he did not stop his daughter back then and let her follow Tang Huairen, and the other is that Tang Huairen took Xiaoshi away from Zhang's family.

If Xiaoshi could grow up in Zhang's family, it must not be what it is now.

The most important thing for a woman in her life is to find the right husband!

Her granddaughter repeats the same mistakes as her mother, and Zhang Yuan has always blamed herself.

He said, "You are a high-ranking prince, what are you doing in a small place like ours? ”

Chu Ming gave a salute and said sincerely: "Chu Ming did something wrong, and asked my grandfather to give Chu Ming a chance to explain." ”

Feng Shi on the side hurriedly stood up to be a peacemaker, and persuaded: "Outsiders use false rumors, and what Lao Zhu heard from Chang'an may not be true, if it is true, why did Aunt Sun travel a long way to beat you?" Dagang and they have been away from home for six or seven months, even if they can climb to Chang'an, Aunt Sun must have listened to Dagang's statement and came back to explain to us...... Dad, you see that you are so anxious and have such a heavy hand. ”

Zhang Yuan felt quite reasonable and embarrassed when he heard it.

Feng Shi said again: "Okay, okay, just go to the courtyard to talk about anything, and stand at the door and don't be afraid of others coming to see the joke." ”

In this way, the people walked into the courtyard.

……

……

"A woman like Xiao Shi who is strong and wise on the outside is exactly what I Chu Ming is looking for, if I had known that she was such a woman, how could I be willing to drive her out of the palace? Fortunately, it was not too late at this time, and he asked his grandfather to give Chu Ming another chance. Chu Ming finally said.

Just now, Chu Ming explained to Zhang Yuan from beginning to end what had happened in the past year or so, such as why he drove Tang Xiaoshi out of Jingwang's Mansion on the night of the wedding.

Another example is what happened after Tang Xiaoshi went to Beizhuang.

opened a academy in Beizhuang, raised orphans, wrote poems at the banquet to relieve Chu Ming, and so on, Chu Ming also said these things.

He said it very sincerely.

After all, a woman's heart is softer, and the prodigal son does not change his money, Feng and the eldest lady listened to Chu Ming's sincere confession, and their eyes were a little red.

Chu Ming's trip to explain this time was touching in itself.

The grandmother, who was unable to move, was lying on the reclining chair, holding Chu Ming's hand and saying, "Xiao Shi was not sensible on the night she got married, I can't blame you...... Kid, that stick just now hurt you, right? ”

After saying that, he glanced at Zhang Yuan and blamed Zhang Yuan.

Chu Ming also held his grandmother's hand and said, "It doesn't hurt, if I can exchange it for Xiaoshi's heart, I am willing to eat ten more sticks." ”

Zhang Yuan was not as easily persuaded as a woman, and said: "Seeing that you sincerely admit your mistakes, it's not that you can't be given a chance, but you make mistakes, and whether you can win back Xiaoshi's heart depends on your ability." If you dare to have the slightest other thought, I will not spare people under my rod! ”
