The rich man of Tang seemed to have a grudge against the courtyard wall, and when the Tang family demolished the wall, he himself stepped forward and threw a few hammers.

To be honest, Tang Ning has been looking at the wall for a long time, and after it is demolished, he can go to Tang Yaoyao's yard openly in the future, and he will no longer have to steal chickens and dogs, every time it is like cheating......

In this era, those who climb over the wall all day long are either thieves who steal things, or scholars who steal young ladies.

If you think about it carefully, it's not right, Tang Xiaoxiao will move over in the future, what else is he doing in the past?

Thinking about it this way, this wall is actually better to keep, the fat body of the rich man Tang must not be able to turn over from the other side, without this wall, wouldn't he be able to come over at any time?

No, why should I be afraid of him coming?

Tang Yaoyao walked out of the room with a small burden on her back, and the rich man Tang glanced at her and said angrily: "Stop!" ”

Tang Yaoyao stopped and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

The rich man Tang said with some hatred: "Before you get married, you will stay here honestly!" ”

Tang Yaoyao looked at him, and could only put the little burden back.

According to the meaning of the rich man Tang, the marriage of Tang Ning and Tang Xiaoyao must be done in a big way, except for the last step into the cave room, there should be no less etiquette procedures.

The rich man of Tang also asked someone to combine the eight characters and calculate the auspicious day, and the final date was half a month later, that is, a few days after the Lantern Festival.

Before this, he took Tang Yaoyao to Ling's house, saying that he was going to stay there for a few days, and Tang Yaoyao was not allowed to meet him during this period.

The rich man Tang didn't fight with him, he had already greatly surprised Tang Ning's expectations, and as for whether he would really agree to this marriage, Tang Ning didn't think about it at the beginning.

The New Year is full of festivities, but there is always a trace of gloom in Tang Ning's heart.

He was standing on the street, looking at a house gate somewhere.

The two mottled stone lions in front of the Wuliehou Mansion were also covered with white cloths, and it was already early in the morning of the second day.

Dali Temple's investigation of the case this time was extremely fast, not only to find out the cause of death of the son of Wuliehou, but also to find out many evil things he had committed over the years.

Of course, Han Chong is dead, and the murderer who killed him has also killed himself, all of this is back to dust, and the earth is back to the earth, perhaps because of pity for Marquis Wulie, Emperor Chen did not pursue Han Chong's crime again, and this case has come to a successful end.

In addition to teaching his son, Wu Liehou treats people very kindly, and he does not belong to any of the forces in Beijing, and the magnates in Beijing, even if they do not befriend him, there are few people who have bad relations with him.

Therefore, early in the morning, many people came to the Wulie Houfu to offer condolences.

"People can't be resurrected after death, and the Hou Ye's Day mourns ......"

"Alas, the world is impermanent, I only met Han Xian's nephew two days ago, but I didn't expect ......"

"The murderer of Han Xian's nephew has committed suicide, and he can also be blind under Jiuquan."

……

Wu Liehou stood in front of the mourning hall, and everyone stepped forward to comfort him, but Wu Liehou looked ahead as if he hadn't heard it.

"Condolences." Tang Huai stepped forward and said a word to Marquis Wu Lie, and when he turned to leave, his footsteps paused slightly.

He made eye contact with one of the people in the courtyard for a moment, and then walked away.

Tang Ning walked to the mourning hall, put on a stick of incense, and when he turned to look at Wu Liehou, he didn't say any comforting words like the others.

No one knows better than him how much Wu Liehou loves his son, and no one knows better than him how hard this matter hit him.

His whole person looked more than ten years older than the one he saw yesterday, and his hair, which had only a few sparse silver hairs, had turned gray overnight.

Wu Liehou looked at him and said in a hoarse voice, "General Tang is here." ”

Tang Ning looked at him and said, "People can't be resurrected after death, Hou Ye takes care of his body." ”

"Old bones, I should have died more than ten years ago, what do you care...... Wu Liehou waved his hand, and suddenly asked: "Chong'er has come to this point, is it all my fault?" ”

Tang Ning was silent for a moment, then nodded, "Yes." ”

If you don't teach, your father's fault, without the excessive doting of Marquis Wu Liehou, there would be no arrogant and domineering Han Chong, the cause of yesterday, the fruit of today.

"Old General Xiao has said the same thing to me as you before." Wu Liehou sighed and said: "But I always feel that I owe them to their mother and son, I will give him whatever he wants, I want to make up for him, but I didn't expect that he would become a beast." ”

He limped out of the hall, and as he walked, he said, "It's okay now, after I die, I don't have to worry about how he will live in this world, it's good......"

Han Chong's death did not cause much turmoil in Tang Ning's heart, he did a lot of evil, he died innocently, and if he died, there would be one less scourge in Beijing.

It's just that Marquis Wu Lie is really pitiful, and the white-haired man sends the black-haired man, and the iron-beaten man can't bear this kind of sadness.

When he walked out of the Marquis Wulie's mansion, on a carriage on the side of the street, Tang Huai lowered the curtain and muttered, "Why is the Ling family involved?" ”

……

Liu.

Liujia Village is located fifty miles away from the west gate of Jingshi, although it is not far from Jingshi, but the people in the village are quite poor, and they have been farming for generations, but the land they cultivate is not their own.

Last year's harvest was average, and many people in the village could not afford to pay the autumn tax, so the lord would send people to urge him several times a month.

At this time, the villagers of Liujia Village gathered at the entrance of the village and pleaded bitterly with one person.

"Please, Lord Steward, you will have a few more months!"

"Last year's harvest was not good, and we really can't pay this autumn rent!"

"A few more months, please......"

……

The villagers begged bitterly, but the steward was unmoved, waved his hand, and said, "If you can't pay the rent, don't farm, you don't plant, some people want to plant!" ”

Liujiacun was looking at him, and said with a sad face: "You want our whole village to die!" ”

"Whether you die or not, what's my business!" The steward waved his hand and said to the few people behind him: "Give me a door-to-door search!" ”

Several subordinates answered, broke into the villagers' homes roughly, and searched everywhere.

A subordinate was about to break into a dilapidated courtyard when he was stopped by a strong man.

The strong man looked at him and said loudly: "The family has just died of a son, and there is only one widow left, if you still have humanity, let her go......"

The subordinate pushed him away and said, "What's wrong with the dead son, the dead son doesn't have to pay taxes?" ”

The man rushed in and searched the courtyard to find out what little food was in the house, and an old woman in the courtyard was pushed to the ground in the struggle, and the man glanced at her and strode away.

The old woman fell to the ground and cried: "My son said, you will never collect our taxes in the future, your Tang family's words don't count, words don't count......"

The man turned his head, pursed his lips, and said, "Who do you think your son is, is he the emperor, and whatever he says is what?" ”

"You said that as long as he helps you do something, he won't collect our taxes in the future...... "The old woman said sadly: "How can you talk without words, Feng'er is dead, and I can't live......"

"Auntie, which Tang family are you talking about?" A voice suddenly sounded from the side, and the old woman looked at a middle-aged man who appeared in the courtyard, and said sadly: "Which Tang family is there in Beijing, it is the Tang family of that concubine......"

"It's Tang Shangshu's family...... The middle-aged man squatted down, looked at her, and asked, "What did the Tang family let your son do for them?" ”

The old woman's eyes immediately became vigilant, looked at him, and asked, "Who are you?" ”

The middle-aged man took out a silver ticket from his sleeve, put it on the ground, and asked, "Can you tell me now?" ”

"I, I don't know......" The old woman looked at the silver ticket, swallowed her saliva, and said: "I only know what revenge is, what Hou Ye's ......"

The middle-aged man stood up, glanced at her, and limped away.

The old woman looked at the extra silver ticket on the ground in front of her, and her face appeared in disbelief......
