A young woman wearing a blue and white skirt, ran out of Xiangcheng alone, ran straight to the northeast, she walked for a while, ran for a while, as if someone was chasing her behind her, occasionally met passers-by, couldn't help but look behind the woman, in fact, there was no one behind the woman.

The eyes of passers-by couldn't help but pan to the woman's body, and the woman had already run into the distance.

"Who?"

"I'm here to find General Tang Yuan. My name is Tang Cai, and he knows me. ”

"Wait a minute."

Tang Cai suddenly ran to the barracks to find Tang Yuan, saying that he had something important to ask for help.

Hearing that she was looking for General Tang, the soldiers naturally did not dare to stop her, so they let her in, this time she came alone, and she was wearing women's clothes.

"What's the flustered about?" Tang Yuan saw that Tang Cai was panting heavily, and her lips were a little white, it seemed that she had run a long way.

"Someone sued my dad for his misdeeds, and now my dad has been arrested." At this, she suddenly squatted down, covered her face and cried.

"What's the use of you looking for me for this kind of thing?" Tang Yuan felt a headache: "Forget it, don't cry, I'll go to Lord Fu Yin and ask." ”

"It's not from the government, it's from the county."

"Your father is not from the Xiangcheng Soldiers and Horses Inspection Division? Does the county have the right to try him? ”

"I've been stripped of my official position, and now it's a cloth coat." Tang Cai cried even worse.

"This must be the fault of the old-fashioned." Tang Yuan smiled bitterly: "Your father is too old-fashioned and can't get used to other people's corruption, and he just keeps the fat difference, so that others can't make money." It's not okay to be down now, and you want to put your father in prison, which is too ruthless. In this way, don't cry, I'll go to Xiangcheng to meet Jing Guogong, you can also go with me, and see if Jing Guogong is willing to come forward. Although he has no real power now, and he is only a thousand households, he is extremely high-level after all. ”

Tang Cai stopped crying, "Then shall we leave now?" ”

"Are you eating dry rice when I'm a general? Actually, I'm busy. Tang Yuan actually didn't have anything to do, but he still said: "Isn't this to take care of your emotions, so I have to leave immediately, but don't worry, even if your father is arrested, it is impossible to be beheaded immediately, anyway, he is already in prison, and it will not be a quarter or two of an hour." ”

Tang Cai was grateful in his heart and didn't say much.

Suddenly remembered Yulan, "What about the girl who came with you last time?" Why didn't I come with you this time? ”

"When my father was arrested, she violently resisted the law and was injured by the officials."

"Oh? How can her weak woman violently resist the law? What kind of person is that official, even a woman like her can do it? Tang Yuan was a little angry, thinking about Youlan's woman, although she was tall, she was very thin, giving people a feeling of being weak, and she fell down with a slight push, so why bother to hurt her.

Tang Cai cried: "Although my cousin looks weak, she is actually very strong in her heart, she thinks that her uncle will not be that kind of person, he must have been falsely accused, since it is a false accusation, there must be no good end, so she fought hard with that group of officials." As a result, the official knocked her unconscious with a scabbard, and now she is still lying on the bed and can't get up, often dizzy, vomiting, and her face is extremely ugly. ”

Youlan's situation is very common in Tang Yuan's opinion, because in the army fights, people are often shot in the head, and this situation will occur.

Tang Yuan asked the military doctor Sun Fuling to accompany him, and first went to see Youlan, and then went to the county government to ask about the situation, seeing that this incident alarmed the military circles, the county commander hurriedly ran to Fu Yin's house to report the matter, Fu Yin Liu Hongguang said disapprerovitically: "What are you panicking, the military and the government are separated, he has no right to interfere in my affairs, and the general of Xiangcheng is Cao Dingbang, not Tang Yuan." ”

Soon after, Tang Yuan came to visit Liu Hongguang, Yin of Xiangcheng Mansion, it was already evening, Liu Hongguang was eating at home, and when he heard that Tang Yuan was coming, he personally came out to greet him, and invited Tang Yuan and others to eat together.

Tang Yuan was not polite, and took Ma Ben and Tang Cai to have a meal at Lord Yin's house.

During the meal, Tang Yuan glanced at Tang Cai a few times, and found that this girl was not very elegant in appearance, giving people a feeling of heartlessness, especially when eating roast chicken, as if she had never eaten such a delicious meal before. Her father used to be fat, could it be said that he was old-fashioned to the point of not taking a penny? The whole family only eats his little money?

"Where is your father, Tang Chu'an?"

"It's local to Xiangcheng." Tang Cai said, and added: "He grew up in a nunnery, abandoned at the gate of the temple as an infant, and raised by a kind nun. My father is gifted and intelligent, and he will learn everything as soon as he learns, and later he was raised in the exam, and there were good people in Xiangcheng who paid for him to let him enter Beijing to catch the exam, and as a result, he was arranged to be a driver in Xiangcheng, but his father was upright and stubborn, and he couldn't get along with Lord Yin, and his official position was demoted again and again, and finally he simply became a prisoner. ”

"How old are you this year?"

"Thirty-nine."

"How old are you?"

"Eighteen. Don't you know how old I am? ”

"You didn't say it, how would I know."

It turned out that this Tang Cai was only eighteen years old, no wonder she looked so smart, then her cousin Youlan would not be more than eighteen.

"Why do you ask this?" Tang Cai was still a little embarrassed.

"If Lord Fu Yin doesn't agree to let your father out, I have a way. Maybe your dad is about to soar. After Tang Yuan finished eating, the servants began to clean up the table, and Liu Hongguang invited Tang Yuan to drink tea in the hall.

Fu Yin's home is not particularly spacious, but the furniture is very elegant, to the level of Fu Yin, there is no need to speak too clearly, in the conversation, he Liu Hongguang has nothing to do with this matter, it is said that the county wrote to the emperor, saying that there is real evidence of corruption in Tang Chu'an, so His Majesty the Emperor dismissed him from his post and investigated, and he is not good at interfering in this matter as Xiangcheng Mansion Yin, so he can only ensure that the case is as fair and just as possible.

Tang Yuan said: "As far as I know, Director Tang has always been honest and hardworking, and his family is very frugal in food and clothing, how can a person like him be a corrupt criminal?" ”

Liu Hongguang waved his hand and said: "Otherwise, I have seen some officials who look like they have clean sleeves, but in fact, their money is hidden in the cellar, and they will only take out the money and spend it when they return to their hometowns in the future." Some people are born with a disguise. ”

Tang Yuan said: "Then please ask Lord Fu Yin to supervise the handling of the case, and this matter must be strictly investigated." ”。

"That's nature." Liu Hongguang said.

Then Tang Yuan led the people away, and he couldn't bail Tang Chu'an out today, it was already dark, he came to the prison again, and said a few words to the warden, hoping that the warden would take care of it. only said that Tang Chuan and himself are their own family, and now they are dredging up the relationship.
