In the Tianxiang Building, everyone in the Tang family sat in the largest Accord, the wine and food on the table had already been served, and the aroma was fragrant, but no one moved chopsticks.

Tang Zhao looked at the table full of wine and food, secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, put down the chopsticks he had picked up again, looked at Tang Huai, looked at Tang Qi again, and asked, "Don't you all eat it?" ”

Today was supposed to be a festive day for the head of the family's birthday, but the scene I saw at the gate of Tianxiang Building just now made everyone unhappy.

The former abandoned son of the Tang family has now become the most dazzling star in Beijing, and the befrienders are all big names in the court, on the other hand, the Tang family has fallen to this point, no one in the family occupies a high position, and there are no vassals above the Manchu Dynasty.

Once in the clouds, once in the mud, the taste is not pleasant.

No one moved the chopsticks for a long time, and seeing that the food was about to be cold, Tang Qi's eyes looked at Tang Huai, Tang Huai waved his hand and said, "Let's move the chopsticks." ”

The head of the house spoke, and everyone picked up chopsticks one after another.

This birthday banquet was tasteless, the head of the family didn't say a word during the whole process, and everyone didn't dare to speak, just ate silently. Until the end of the feast.

In the Tang family, it was late at night, and the lights were still on in Tang Huai's study.

"He's provoking." Tang Qi clenched his fists and said, "After so long, he is finally going to show his fangs to the Tang family." ”

"Jingzhao Mansion, Criminal Department, Dali Temple, Yushitai, Criminal Division......" Tang Huai looked at the night outside the window and said, "He wants to kill the Tang family." ”

Tang Qi said: "Do you want to inform Niangniang immediately, as long as Niangniang informs Your Majesty, Your Majesty will not sit idly by." ”

Tang Huai glanced at him and said, "Don't forget who made him walk in the six parts." ”

Tang Qi was unwilling to say: "Are we just sitting still?" ”

"Let's take a look first." Tang Huai sat down slowly and said, "If he has any tricks, the Tang family will follow." ”

Tang Qi knew very well in his heart that the decline of the Tang family was temporary, no matter what situation the Tang family fell into, as long as the king did not fall, the Tang family would always have a time to regain its glory.

But even if there is a hole card of the end of the king, but it will not take effect until the new emperor ascends the throne, now that the Tang family tiger falls in Pingyang, any cat and dog can step forward and step on it, the Tang family has been in Beijing for decades, how has he ever suffered such humiliation?

However, the situation is stronger than people, today's Tang family, someone with poor power is far away, people are swords, I am fish, and the Tang family is the fish on the chopping board, just like twenty years ago, when facing the Tang family, the young lady and scholar.

After Tang Qi left, Tang Huai stood up, although his face was calm, his fists were clenched tightly, and his nails left deep marks on his fingertips.

……

Tang Ning was resting in Tang Yao's room tonight.

After returning to Beijing, he usually took turns to rest in the room of the three, which inevitably gave people the illusion that a certain lady was left out.

He invited Fang Hong, Song Qian and others to a banquet in the natural residence today, for the sake of nature, it was the Tang family's business.

Since he had decided to settle accounts with the Tang family, he did not leave any room for the Tang family at the beginning.

The Song Qian brothers can mobilize the Criminal Department and the Criminal Division, the Yushitai has Xu Qingyang, and the Ministry of Officials transferred Zhang Yansheng to Dali Temple not long ago, plus Jingzhao Mansion and Ping'an County Ya, the Tang family will be very busy in recent days.

The Tang family is too strong, and it has a deep foundation in the Chen Kingdom, even if it is reduced to the point where it is now, there is still a chance to turn the tables around.

Of course, Downing won't give them such a chance.

He waited for four years to get to where he is today, and the enmity of life and death is not something that anyone can let go.

He had gathered enough strength before he was ready to do it.

Tang Yaoyao held his chin, sat opposite him, and asked, "What are you thinking?" ”

When Tang Ning looked at Tang Xiaoxiao, he suddenly remembered something.

It is foreseeable that after the official lifting of the ban on the border gates, countless businessmen will pour into the grassland to seize the market.

And the future business focus of the Tang family must not be in Beijing, from now on, we must prepare for the future.

Tang Ning looked at her and said, "I want to send a caravan to the grassland, before the border ban is lifted, to seize business opportunities, you arrange a team these days, and when you get to the grassland, I will let Wan Yan Yan help them." ”

Tang Yaoyao looked at him and said angrily: "You are really thinking about that little wild horse!" ”

Tang Ning was stunned and explained, "I'm talking to you about the caravan......"

"I'm talking to you about that little wild horse...... Tang Yaoyao crossed his hands on his hips and said: "You haven't explained what happened last time, you participated in that competition, what happened later......

Tang Ning looked at her and said, "I'll talk about this later, what did you ask me just now?" ”

Tang Xiaoxiao said: "Ask your little wild horse ......"

Tang Ning shook his head and said, "No, it's the previous sentence." ”

Tang Yaoyao thought for a while, looked at him, and asked, "What were you thinking just now?" ”

Tang Ning lay on the bed, closed his eyes, and said, "I didn't think about anything." ”

……

Emperor Chen gave Tang Ning a two-month long vacation, and he was idle at home for these two months, the same Tang family, and the other Tang family was not so idle.

In the past few days, the Ping'an County Ya, the Jingzhao Mansion Ya, the Criminal Department, and the Dali Temple have come one after another, and they have sent messengers to the door in turn.

It is not a good thing for these yamen to find the Tang family.

Either the Tang family encroached on other people's fields and shops, or they committed murder and injured people, or they bullied and dominated the market and disrupted public order......

These are not big cases, and they are all old cases, and before that, no yamen dared to trouble the Tang family because of these things.

It is precisely because no one dared to look for it before that all the troubles today are coming to the door together.

Tang Zhao had just finished running the Criminal Department, and he came back from the Ping'an County Ya, and before he had time to drink tea, the Jingzhao Mansion Ya came again.

He picked up the teapot and poured it violently, looked at Tang Qi with a calm face, and said: "Dad, after a while, the people from Ping'an County will come, remember to let the account office pay a hundred taels of silver to them, I smashed other people's shops before, and now I have to lose money......"

"Bastard thing!" Tang Qi glared at him angrily and said, "The trouble of the Tang family in the past two days, which one of them was not caused by you back then!" ”

"Dad, this is your fault...... Tang Zhao put down the teapot and said: "People are not sages, who can do nothing, it is not too late to make amends, I used to do a lot of wrong things, but wasn't I young at that time, who didn't make mistakes when I was young, don't think I don't know, Dad, you were a bastard than me when you were young, not only occupied people's fields, committed murder and hurt people, but also enlarged the stomachs of several girls......"

Tang Qi said angrily: "Bastard, what are you talking about!" ”

Tang Zhao shrank back and said: "You can't blame me for these things, if they don't want to mess with the Tang family, even if I make more mistakes, the government will not find the Tang family, if they want to mess with the Tang family, they will say that I broke the law by stepping on my left foot when they go out, in the final analysis, you still provoke people who shouldn't be provoked, the main responsibility lies with you, not ......with me."

Tang Qi's chest rose and fell, pointed at him, and said angrily: "You get out!" ”

Tang Zhao looked at him and said, "Dad, they are all scholars, can you not be so vulgar......

Tang Qi didn't want to look at him anymore, closed his eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "Please get out, immediately, immediately!" ”
