So, is what Zhang Ga said true?

Or, is what Tang Hu said true?

Half-truths.

Tang Hu didn't kill any of Cao Dingbang's relatives, this is Tang Hu spreading rumors, but those three people are really business tycoons in Xiangcheng, and they dare to bid with the third master to grab women, have they lived enough?

beat these three people to death, Tang Hu also sobered up, feeling that this matter was not easy to handle.

What to do?

Tang Hu thought about it, these three people have been doing business in Xiangcheng for many years, and there must be collusion with the government.

Impossible, absolutely impossible, I have long heard that Cao Dingbang is very greedy, and it is impossible to let go of the three of them, these three people, as businessmen, of course, do not dare to offend Cao Dingbang, and maybe take the initiative to send them to the door.

Based on this, Tang Hu dared to spread rumors, saying that they were Cao Dingbang's relatives. No, that's what I said anyway, what can you do to me?

At this time, Hu Cong next to him proposed: "Let's not say that we beat them to death, although no one in the Flying Tiger Army dares to treat you in the three generals, but you will make it difficult for the marshal to do so." The big handsome can't get off the stage. It's better to set this restaurant on fire, and say that the three of them were burned to death, isn't this enough? ”

"Brilliant plan!" Tang Hu praised.

Then a fire broke out.

Unlucky wind. If you don't come early, you don't come late, but when the fire rises, the wind comes.

This scared Tang Hu to the point of sobering up completely.

If this bustling street were to be burned, how many people would have to die?

Hurriedly let the servants disperse the people, but even so, some people were burned in the panic.

After a catastrophe, the grasshopper's eyes grew, and the three generals fled.

It took three days for him to send a message to Zhang Ga to intimidate him.

"Where the hell is this kid hiding now?"

Tang Yuan carried a horsewhip and found Tang Hu's guard captain.

"My subordinates don't know." The captain of the guard said with a bitter face.

Tang Yuan narrowed his eyes and said, "I don't care if you know it or not, I'll give you two days to find him, and if you can't find it, you will be whipped for him." Hurry up! ”

To deal with muddy people, you have to use muddy tricks. Maybe this guard captain really didn't know where Tang Hu was, and Tang Yuan might not actually beat him.

——

Although Zhang Ga was only Tang Yuan's entourage, he was a captain-level officer, and after leaving Tang Yuan, he could also be powerful.

led dozens of people to the scene of the fire to investigate, pointed to the gang room and said: "It was caused by an accidental fire here." ”

Hearing this, the old bustard was shocked: "Obviously someone set the fire, why do you say that it was a fire in the house?" ”

Zhang Ga said: "Old bustard, the military has already borne the cost of repairing your house, and it is not going to hold you responsible, what do you want?" ”

When he heard this, he quickly nodded and said: "Oh, damn it, it turned out that there was a fire here, and the whole street was on fire, and I must find out the cook who caught fire." ”

Zhang Ga squinted his eyes and said: "Maybe it's not the cook's carelessness, it's very likely that the three people who burned to death came to your kitchen to play with fire and caused a fire, which has nothing to do with your restaurant." ”

"Oh, Master Jun, you're so right. That's it. ”

Leaving the hall and going to the autopsy to talk, Zhang Ga said to the autopsy: "You say, how did these three people die?" ”

The two men looked at each other and did not dare to speak.

Zhang Ga said: "In my opinion, these three people are very seriously burned, they must have burned to death, right?" ”

Hearing this, he hurriedly said: "With such burns, you will definitely die." ”

"Well, that's right." Zhang Ga patted the shoulder of the servant, and gave the entourage next to him a look, the entourage stuffed the money into the pockets of the two servants, the two servants felt Zhang Ga's coercion, and even didn't dare to say kind words, just seeing the money being stuffed into their pockets, they also understood that this was hush money, if not collected, this General Zhang might still be angry.

After stuffing the money into their pockets, Zhang Ga said again: "Since the cause of death has been ascertained, the document must be clearly written, and then the document will be handed over to Xiangcheng Mansion Yin." You don't have to worry about the second post-mortem, because the general doesn't want a second trial, can you understand me? ”

Tang Yuan is a military boss, but he is not a political boss, he can't control the Jingbei Province Supervision Imperial History, Xiangcheng Mansion Yin is directly responsible to the Supervision of the Imperial History, and he usually doesn't go to see Tang Yuan much. But now that the Liang Dynasty is in the border area, implementing the military management policy, in Tang Yuan's territory, Xiangcheng Mansion Yin still has to be careful, if he angers the military bosses, what the consequences will be, he knows in his heart.

Tang Yuan couldn't manage Jingbei Province to observe the imperial history, and the criminal department was not under the control of the emperor, but under the management of the prime minister's office, and the documents for supervising the imperial history in Jingbei Province could not be directly sent to the emperor.

The old prime minister Tang Zhen basically doesn't care about things now, the eight-thousand-year-old Tang Su doesn't care about the affairs of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the current Prime Minister's Mansion is actually an empty shelf, where several Tang family secretaries who have just graduated from Guozijian are there to approve documents. In fact, this group of newly graduated secretaries is still very efficient, and the young people have a sense of justice, loyalty, filial piety, honesty and shame are strict, if this matter is in their hands, it is really a troublesome matter.

Therefore, this matter cannot be retried in Jingbei Province Superintendent Yushi.

"Prepare some gifts, I'm going to Xiangcheng Mansion Yin's house as a guest in the evening." Tang Yuan said.

"Yes!" Zhang Ga immediately agreed.

"Hey, by the way, how did you arrange it for the family of the deceased?"

"It's basically done."

"How?"

"Knowing is reasonable, moving is emotional." Zhang Ga said with a smile.

Tang Yuan narrowed his eyes: "Plus intimidation, right?" ”

Zhang Ga smiled ashamedly.

Tang Yuan sighed: "This time Tang Hu broke into a big disaster, it really shouldn't be, it's good to go back and give an explanation to the family of the deceased, compensate for the money, and ensure safety, this is the least, if people are not short of money, then arrange something for other men in his family to do, and it is good to be a petty official." This matter must not be forcibly suppressed like this, otherwise it will be too inhumane. ”

Zhang Ga said: "Actually, the handsome don't have to blame himself too much, after my visit, these three people also have a life lawsuit in their hands." In the business world, they have used insidious means to kill some of their peers. ”

Tang Yuan said: "If there is no evidence, it is rumor-mongering." ”

Zhang Ga stopped talking.

Tang Yuan said again: "Before I go to Fu Yin's house as a guest, I still have to go to see the wounded, and in addition, I have to ask the army to pay for it, and repair the house as soon as possible." The impact of this incident is too great, and I don't think I can hide it at all. I will take the initiative to report to the emperor and ask for mercy and punishment. Otherwise, it would be too passive. I think that when the emperor finds out, he will scold me again, and then I will have to find a few scapegoats. ”

Zhang Ga said: "Who to find as a scapegoat, the handsome man has a good idea?" ”

Tang Yuan said: "The servant who gave Tang Hu the idea must die!" ”

"Got it!"

In words, it is a person's life and death.

For some reason, Tang Yuan suddenly felt in a bad mood.

He felt that he should not have been like this. Why is there no turmoil in a person's heart when deciding whether he is going to live or die?

Have you become numb to this extent?

Isn't this what I hated the most?

"Hey——," Tang Yuan let out a long sigh and looked up at the sky: "People live by themselves at all, they are busy, as if they make any decisions by themselves, but in the dark they feel that everything is arranged." ”
