Chapter 106: The Murderer Revealed
Tang Huai's face changed, and he smiled dryly: "What does Grandpa Wei mean by this?" β
"We're just a messenger." Gonggong Wei looked at Tang Huai and said with a smile: "Lord Tang should understand what Your Majesty means, let's go, Your Majesty is still waiting." β
Tang Huai hugged his fists again and said, "Father-in-law Wei walks slowly." β
He watched as Gonggong Wei's figure disappeared from sight, his face revealing a hint of gloom, and the fist in his sleeve clenched and loosened.
In the end, he just gritted his teeth and turned away.
In the deep hall, Emperor Chen put down a secret letter and asked casually: "Wei Jian, what do you think of this matter?" β
"What do minions think?" Gonggong Wei's face showed a look of doubt, and said, "The slave is standing in front of His Majesty and watching......"
Chen Huang was stunned, stretched out his hand and pointed at him angrily and funny, and said: "You, you, you, you have been by my side all your life, and you know that you can never think about sharing worries for me!" β
Gonggong Wei said helplessly: "Your Majesty, the old slave is stupid, not as good as the lords in the court, the duty of the old slave is to serve His Majesty comfortably......"
Emperor Chen waved his hand and said, "Sending seven dead soldiers to Lingzhou at one time, Tang Huai was so generous that even the envoys of Chu State were almost killed, what did he want to do?" β
Gonggong Wei walked to Emperor Chen's side, thought for a while, and whispered: "Although Lord Tang's move is a bit unusual, the Tang family should still be loyal to Your Majesty......"
"I don't doubt his loyalty." Emperor Chen shook his head and said, "But what the Tang family has done over the years is indeed a bit too much......
Gonggong Wei raised his eyes and looked at it, lowered his head again, but never answered again.
Tang Huai, as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is responsible for the imperial examination, and his protΓ©gΓ©s are all over the court and all over the world.
Emperor Chen opened the secret fold again, looked at the name on the secret fold, shook his head and said: "Seventeen years, Tang Huai still has such murderous ...... for his nephew, Tang Ning, Tang Ning, how does this name sound familiar?" β
Gonggong Wei thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, Lingzhou Xie Yuan, who sacrificed the strategy of controlling the water and saved hundreds of thousands of taels of silver for the imperial court every year, seems to be called Tang Ning......"
"Is that him?" Chen Huang immediately recalled and muttered, "He is the abandoned baby of the Tang family back then?" β
Gonggong Wei nodded and said, "Looking at Lord Tang's reaction, it should be right. β
"Tang family, Tang Ning ......" Emperor Chen thought for a while, and said: "Lingzhong Province drafted the decree, Lingzhou Prefecture tried to solve the Yuan Tang Ning, and offered advice to control the water, rewarded with a jade belt, and fifty silk horses......"
"Yes." Gonggong Wei's face was slightly different, and he answered, and said: "Your Majesty, the news just came from Lingzhou, the envoys of the Chu State have already set off from Lingzhou, and they will be able to arrive in Beijing in a few days. β
"...... Chu State" Emperor Chen said in a low voice, a trace of depression appeared on his face, "In recent years, the State of Chu has produced many talents, on the other hand, in our dynasty, above the court, some people only know how to form a party, and some people have a vegetarian meal, but it is not much, and in the long run, there will be endless troubles......"
Gonggong Wei thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty don't worry, some time ago, a lot of talents have emerged in various prefectures, and with a little training, after a few years, they can become the pillars of the court." β
"The court can't be all mediocre, but it can't be all smart either. However, there are few mediocre talents, but there are no less smart people. Emperor Chen was silent for a while before he spoke: "Zhang Hao is right, the imperial examination of my dynasty is time to make a move. β

Tang Mansion, somewhere in a dark room.
The one-armed old man knelt on the ground and said in a hoarse voice: "Master of the house, the old slave should die!" β
Tang Huai looked at him and asked expressionlessly, "Seventeen years ago, someone picked him up from the snow; Half a year ago, it was your people who found those bad people from Lingzhou who were not doing well; This time, the Tang family lost seven dead soldiers, and for what reason? β
"The old slave didn't expect that he was actually with the envoys of the Chu State, and the envoys of the Chu State had masters around them to protect him......" The old man hissed a few words, and said: "Master of the family, give the old slave another chance......"
"I'll give you a chance, who will give me a chance!" Tang Huai looked at him and said angrily: "I gave you a chance, will Your Majesty give me a chance?" β
The old man's face changed, and he was shocked: "Could it be ......?"
Tang Huai waved his hand and said, "This matter has nothing to do with my Tang family, so there is no need to mention it......"
After the old man was stunned, he nodded and said, "The old slave understands." β
Tang Huai closed his eyes and said, "Go out." β
"Yes." The old man bowed and bowed, and slowly withdrew.
Bang!
After the old man walked out, Tang Huai clenched his fist and slammed it on the wall.
"Uncle Han, where did you go some time ago, and when did you come back?" The girl walked in the Tang Mansion, saw a figure in front of her, walked over quickly, and when she walked to the front, her face suddenly changed, and she asked, "Uncle Han, what's wrong with your arm?" β
The old man smiled and said, "When I went back to my hometown, I met an enemy and accidentally broke it." β
The girl looked at his empty sleeves, frowned, and asked, "Who is so vicious, did you report to the official to arrest him?" β
The old man shook his head and said, "Don't worry about Miss Shui'er, he is not much better than me." β
The girl looked at him, shook her head and said, "You are so old, and you still learn to fight......"
The old man smiled, bowed his head and said no more.
The girl looked at him helplessly and advised, "Then you have to remember to see the doctor......"

Dong Cunyi, the former assassin of Lingzhou, packed up his things and rushed to Fengzhou to take office a few days after receiving the order from the imperial court.
It is said that the new Lingzhou assassin of the imperial court will arrive in Lingzhou in the next few days.
The local officials in Lingzhou were a little apprehensive in their hearts, although Dong Tingshi was not easy to get along, but they had worked together for so many years, and they had always been peaceful.
And this new assassin history, everyone still doesn't know who it is, and they don't know his temperament, so they are naturally a little uneasy in their hearts.
This matter is something that the father-in-law and the local officials of Lingzhou need to worry about, it has been a while since Li Tianlan left Lingzhou, Tang Ning has lived a very fulfilling life these days, reading books every day, running, originally wanted to fish out a few assassins, but the other party seems to have really left Lingzhou, which makes Tang Ning a little disappointed, he doesn't even know who the enemy is, who is he looking for revenge?
Every time he came out, Peng Chen followed him not far behind, and Tang Xiaoxiao usually followed him and Fang Xiaopang to exercise together.
Fang Xiaopang's desperate third sister's way of losing weight is not right, relying on dieting or excessive exercise, although it is true that she can lose a lot of weight in a short period of time, it is not healthy.
She now only runs for half an hour every morning and evening, and pays more attention to balanced nutrition when eating, plus some anaerobic and aerobic movements taught to her by Tang Ning, although the effect is slower than before, but it will not damage the body.
After exercising in the morning, I had breakfast with Fang Xiaopang in front of the third uncle's shop.
Liu Lao Er had a bun in his mouth, and after swallowing it in three or two, he looked at Tang Ning and said with a smile: "Helper, we got another street yesterday." β
Liu Lao Er originally called him "Gongzi", but since Tang Ning gave him a large sum of silver and asked him to set up a beggar gang to recruit beggars in Lingzhou, his name for Tang Ning has changed.
If the beggar gang is the largest gang in the world, this "gang leader" will naturally be full of qualifications, but now the beggar gang is only a beggar group of about 100 people, and this gang leader seems to be useless.
In order to avoid beggars coming forward to salute him wherever he went, except for Liu Lao Er and several backbones around him, the beggars in Lingzhou only knew that they had a gang leader, but they didn't know who the gang leader was.
Liu Lao Er ate a bun, wiped his mouth again, and said, "Helper, a brother in our gang seems to have seen someone who did something to you in that alley that morning a few months ago." Although they were all covered at the time, one of them was bald, and his left foot was a little lame, and he had a scar on his forehead, and I had my brother keep an eye on him. β
Tang Ning put down his chopsticks, looked at him, and asked, "Where is he?" β
