Chapter 400: Lead the way
Steward Tang was very efficient, but in just three days, he had already completed the funeral of Old Man Tang. γLatest chapter reading. γ
"We also deeply regret the matter of Old Man Tang, the deceased rest in peace, and I hope that the living will mourn."
"Mourning"
Among the guests who came and went to attend the funeral, there were those who were inquiring, some were suspicious, some were watchful, and some were mixed, but the only thing they had in common was that they were all polite to each other with hypocritical masks.
With a polite and thoughtful smile on his face, Steward Tang smiled just right, and received the guests who entered the mourning hall in an orderly manner.
"Steward Tang, I'm sorry to bother you in your busy schedule."
Steward Tang was busy entertaining the guests attending the funeral, but suddenly someone patted him on the shoulder behind his back, turned around politely, and found that it was Old Man Zhou.
"Old man Zhou, you are polite," Steward Tang politely replied, "If you have something, it doesn't hurt to say it." β
"I just took a turn here, but I didn't find Tang Chuan's little nephew. I also hope that Steward Tang will inform me of the traces of Tang Chuan's little nephew. β
Old Man Zhou came to attend this funeral, and most of them came because of Tang Chuan.
Before, Tang Chuan said that he would wipe out the Tang family from Yanjing, and Old Man Zhou didn't doubt the authenticity of this sentence at all, he knew very well that with Tang Chuan's ability, he would definitely do what he said, but he didn't expect it to be recovered so quickly.
Originally, Old Man Zhou was worried that Tang Chuan had violated the law too much, but he didn't expect Tang Chuan to directly replace the Tang family and take it into his pocket, in another sense, it was indeed completely erased from Yanjing by the previous Tang family.
It is not difficult for him to predict that it will not be long before this Yanjing will also become Tang Chuan's world.
merely
originally thought that Tang Chuan's funeral would be held in a low-key manner, but he didn't expect it to be so publicized and high-profile, with Tang Chuan's character, this is definitely not normal, presumably, something big must happen.
Old Man Zhou wanted to find Tang Chuan in a low-key manner and talk about it, but there was no trace of Tang Chuan at the funeral where he was most needed, and he didn't find anyone close to Tang Chuan to consult, as if the people who had a good relationship with Tang Chuan had suddenly disappeared.
In desperation, Old Man Zhou had no choice but to ask Steward Tang about Tang Chuan's whereabouts.
"Young master's words, worry in my heart, my body is slightly unwell, rest in the room." Steward Tang replied politely.
"It's inconvenient for the young master to see people now, if there is anything important for Old Master Zhou, you might as well tell me, and I will definitely tell the young master for Old Master Zhou."
"It's fine, I'm just worried about Xiaonuo's safety." Seeing Steward Tang's faint refusal, Old Man Zhou was not in a hurry, but slowly revealed his identity.
"Miss Xiaonuo is safe and sound, Old Man Zhou doesn't have to worry." Hearing the meaning and position of Old Man Zhou, Steward Tang easily summoned a handsome and energetic little guy beside him.
"I can't do without myself here, I can't take you personally, if Old Man Zhou is really worried about Miss Xiaonuo, I will let Xiaonuo take you to see Miss Xiaonuo."
"I'm tired," Old Man Zhou replied lightly.
Steward Tang turned sideways and whispered a few words to the little guy, the little guy looked like he understood, and after saying "yes", he took a step forward, walked to Old Man Zhou's side, made a look of please, and said.
This little guy is Chen Xinghe, who Tang Chuan picked to report to Li Manhuang before, because he is more clever and serious, he was promoted by Tang Chuan to take care of things by Steward Li's side.
"Steward Tang ordered me to show you the way, Old Man Zhou, please."
After being trained by Steward Tang, Chen Xinghe now has lost the appearance of the little guy he used to be, confident but humble, and completely on the stage.
I have to say that Steward Tang not only governs well, but also has a way to govern people.
Following Chen Xinghe, Old Man Zhou followed and walked to the back hall. Originally, when he arrived at the door of the back hall, when Old Man Zhou thought he had arrived, Chen Xinghe suddenly turned around, did not enter the back hall, and walked in another direction.
"This, where are you going to take me" Old Man Zhou was puzzled, a little puzzled.
"I'm just ordered to take Old Man Zhou to where he should go." Chen Xinghe was respectful, but did not answer the question directly
"Oh" Old Man Zhou frowned, even more puzzled, "Where to go"
"I'm just acting on orders, I don't know anything about the rest, and I hope Old Man Zhou will understand." Chen Xinghe turned around and saluted Old Man Zhou and apologized, but he didn't stop because of this, but turned around and continued to walk forward after saluting.
Old Man Zhou frowned, although he was a little unhappy in his heart, but thinking about being in someone else's territory now, he could only be helpless. While silently raising his vigilance in his heart, he kept up with Chen Xinghe's pace.
Old Man Zhou didn't know how Tang Chuan controlled the Tang family's manor now, and he didn't dare to be presumptuous for a while, so he didn't dare to act rashly.
In fact, from the time Tang Chuan said that he wanted to erase the Tang family to the present when he was in the Tang family, Old Man Zhou's heart has always been on his mind.
Three days ago, the Tang family manor had just released the old man Tang's "end of life", because the only son of the old man Tang was missing, so the Tang family manor was inherited by Tang Chuan, the godson of the old man Tang.
When he heard the news, the big stone in Old Man Zhou's heart fell for a moment.
But after that, all the news was released by the Tang family manor, and it was also Steward Tang who came forward, and he didn't see the slightest shadow of Tang Chuan at all, so the big stone that had already fallen in his heart was slowly mentioned again.
It's not that Old Man Zhou didn't come to the Tang family manor to look for Tang Chuan, but the first time he came, he happened to meet Tang Chuan going out, and the second time, when he was about to see the above, he came back because of something suddenly.
So I never found a suitable opportunity to meet Tang Chuan and ask about the situation.
And now, at the funeral of Old Man Tang, Tang Chuan, the heir of the Tang family manor who was supposed to appear the most, still did not show up under the pretext of being unwell, which made Old Man Zhou not only begin to wonder if something happened to Tang Chuan.
What's more, there is also Xiao Nuo, who has no power to restrain the chicken, which makes Old Man Zhou even more worried.
"Can you tell me how Tang Chuan's little nephew and Xiaonuo are doing?" Old Man Zhou is still more concerned about their safety.
"I only saw the young master on the first day of the announcement of Old Man Tang's death, and I haven't seen him since, so I can't give Old Man Zhou an accurate answer, and I hope Old Man Zhou will forgive me."
Chen Xinghe felt a little timid, but he still replied with a firm confidence. It can be seen that Chen Xinghe's social experience is very shallow and lacks confidence.
"Let me ask, where is Li Manfao" Old Man Zhou settled down and thought about it, since he couldn't ask for directions, and it was inconvenient to talk about Tang Chuan's affairs, so he could only start from others.
This Li Manhuang is equivalent to Tang Chuan's henchman, and if you understand Li Manhuang's movements, you should be able to understand Tang Chuan's movements more or less.
"Mr. Li's words" Chen Xinghe paused for a moment, seemed to be considering his words, and hesitated whether to say it, but after thinking about Steward Tang's words, he decided to tell him what he knew about Li Manhuang.
"Mr. Li seems to have been assigned a task by the young master, and he has been busy in the manor these days."
When Steward Tang whispered in Chen Xinghe's ear just now, he said that the matter about the Tang family manor and Tang Chuan should not be revealed, if you ask about other people, you will tell them.
I have to say that Steward Tang is worthy of being a strategist, knowing that Old Man Zhou will definitely be uneasy if he doesn't get the matter of Tang Chuan and the Tang family's manor, and he will definitely inquire about the movements of the people around Tang Chuan.
can't hide it all, it doesn't hurt to tell the people around you directly, so that Old Man Zhou has a bottom in his heart.
Hearing the news of Li Manhuang, seeing that he didn't seem to have anything unusual, thinking about it carefully, it could also be that Tang Chuan was planning something big, so it was inconvenient to reveal his whereabouts, so he was a little relieved, knowing that there was no need to worry about it, so he simply kept his doubts and asked again when he saw Xiaonuo
"Youlao will take me to see Xiao as soon as possible"
"Arrived"
Old Man Zhou calmly opened his mouth and asked to speed up his pace, but before he could finish speaking, he was suddenly interrupted, looking at Chen Xinghe suddenly stopped, at the door of a courtyard, turned to face Old Man Zhou and said.
"Miss Xiaonuo is here, it's inconvenient for me to go in, so I can only stop here, and I hope Old Man Zhou will forgive me."
Brought to the road, as if relieved, Chen Xinghe's tone became relaxed, and there was no tension and depression just now.
"Thank you" Old Man Zhou didn't know why it was inconvenient for Chen Xinghe to go in, but since he had already arrived, it didn't hurt for him to go in alone.
The lobby of the Tang family manor is very richly decorated, but the courtyard is built in a simple and ancient style, and the decorated wooden houses and high-end fences show that the people who live here are very elegant and gentle.
"Knock knock" a few regular knocks on the door.
After a few steps, he came to the door of the room in the courtyard and knocked on the door, but seeing that the people of the Tang family were so mysterious, Old Man Zhou could not rule out the possibility of traps, so he still raised his vigilance.
"Who?"
With a cold female voice, the door of the room slowly opened, and what I saw was a beautiful woman like a flower.
"Grandpa Zhou" opened the door was Mu Yuqing, and when he saw that the person who came was Mr. Zhou, he was a little surprised, and then reacted and let go of the door.
"Grandpa Zhou, why are you here, please come in, Xiaonuo is inside."
Originally, when he heard the voice, Old Man Zhou still felt that the voice was familiar, but when he saw that it was Mu Yuqing, Old Man Zhou was also startled, and he didn't understand why the people who were originally in Qingcheng suddenly came to Yanjing.
But after thinking about it, when he saw that they were safe and there were no problems, Old Man Zhou was more or less relieved.
Entering the room, as far as the eye could see, Qin Yun, Chu Linghan and Zhou Xiaonuo were all in the room, as if they were chatting about something funny, everyone had a smile on their faces, and Zhou Xiaonuo's cheeks were still obviously red, and his face was ashamed.
Seeing this scene, although Old Man Zhou wondered why Mu Yuqing and the others appeared here, he was completely relieved when he saw that Xiao Nuo was completely fine.
