Tang Yong smiled miserably: "If the lower official says that he has nothing to do with the White Lotus Sect, I think the generals will not believe it." It's just that the lower officials don't understand, if the lower officials are at fault, Shanxi Cheng announced that the political envoy will naturally have news, why this time the lower officials are looking for the general. ”

Zhang Ru pointed to the teacup on the table and made a gesture of please: "This time it's a special event!" I have someone seconded by Jinyiwei here, and it's not a foul to catch you. The affairs of the White Lotus Sect have always been supervised by the Jinyi Guard, and since you have something to do with the White Lotus Sect, the black gauze hat on your head will not work. Listening to your tone, it seems that Ben has wronged you! ”

Tang Yong said lightly: "If you want to add to the crime, there is no excuse." Back then, Yue Wumu Qu died in the Wind Wave Pavilion, didn't Qin Yu find a trumped-up reason. Today, I, Tang Yong, will die in the place where thousands of households are stationed in Datong, maybe a hundred years later, your Zhang Wenxuan's sins will be spread. ”

Zhang Ru picked up a thick stack of files from the table, opened them, and pointed to one of the lines of words: "Tang Yong, a native of Yulin, Shaanxi, is a Jinshi in the eleventh year of Chenghua." He was first appointed as a bachelor of Hanlin, and later was released as an official due to collusion with Wang Zhi.

On the seventh day of March in the 19th year of Chenghua, Tang Yong went to Shanxi to announce the political envoy of Datong Prefecture, Datong County, and in the first year of Hongzhi, Tang Yong was promoted to the post of Datong prefect because of the recommendation of Shanxi Provincial Imperial History.

You are fifty-four years old this year, and you were a jinshi at the age of thirty-seven, and you were old enough to have a son at the age of forty-five, and your son was born after he came to Datong.

Your wife worships the portrait of the childless mother at home, and prays sincerely every day, don't tell the official, you don't even know this. ”

Tang Yong's face turned pale, and he couldn't say a word of the quibble he had prepared, he knew that he was really dead this time.

After losing the last bit of hope, Tang Yong couldn't even sit on the stool, and wanted to stand up, but he couldn't move unsteadily and fell to the ground.

Zhang Ru stood up and walked to him, grabbed his shoulder, forcibly put him on the chair, picked up the tea that was already slightly cold on the table and handed it to his mouth: "For the sake of you being a scholar, this official intends to give you a decent death." After drinking this cup of tea, the official will personally send you on your way. If there is anything else you want to say, tell the official that as long as the official can do it, the official will do his best. ”

Tang Yong was like a mourner, he studied hard for ten years, and finally made it to the dragon and tiger list, but now he is about to fall off the horse before ten years. His heart was very complicated, the wish of Guangzong and his ancestors was barely completed at the moment when he became the prefect of Datong, but he didn't expect that the higher he sits, the worse he fell.

"Can you leave some incense for the Tang family?" Tang Yong's pitiful gaze fell on Zhang Ru and pleaded.

He has struggled all his life, his father and mother have long slept under Jiuquan, and the only one he can't let go of is that there is no third person except his wife and children.

"Your Majesty has said first, all the White Lotus rebels, regardless of whether they are noble or low, will be killed." Zhang Ru showed an embarrassed expression.

He showed such an expression, obviously he had no intention of doing things absolutely, which made Tang Yong see a glimmer of hope again: "Please look at the time when the lower officials are in charge of Datong, it can be regarded as some political achievements, and let the young son have a way to live." ”

Zhang Ru was puzzled: "This thing is really not something I can do." ”

Tang Yong grabbed the hem of Zhang Ru's robe: "My lord, as long as you let the child go, the lower official will tell the adult where the silver is hidden, and let the adult make new contributions."

Anyway, the lower official is now a mortal person, and there is no use in keeping that silver, as long as the adults are willing to let the child go, you let the lower officials do whatever the lower officials are willing. ”

Under his bitter pleading, Zhang Ru finally relented: "Is this true? ”

"Seriously, as long as the adult agrees to let the child go, the adult will do whatever the official wants." Tang Yong grabbed Zhang Ru's clothes as if he had grasped the last straw.

Zhang Ru sighed: "Alas, you are also a reader, and I am also a reader, okay!" The White Lotus Sect is no longer a mustard disease, and for the Ming Dynasty, the White Lotus Sect is a cancer. But what the people of the White Lotus Sect are best at is hiding kung fu, there are so many spies in the imperial court outside, and countless people in Jinyiwei and Dongchang are looking for their traces, but they still can't control all the lists, it's a pity. ”

Tang Yong suddenly became extremely excited: "Xia Guan doesn't know these people, but Xia Guan can find out where these people are from his wife's mouth." ”

"Someone!" Zhang Ru suddenly shouted: "Suppress the prisoner for Ben!" Behead tomorrow! ”

Immediately, two soldiers with steady steps walked in briskly.

Tang Yong kept wailing: "Adults spare their lives, adults spare their lives!" ”

"Wait!" Just as the soldiers were about to drag Tang Yong out, Zhang Ru suddenly said: "I'm going to die tomorrow, let him reunite with his family today!" ”

The two soldiers dragged Tang Yong out expressionlessly, and he was directly locked in a single room, where his wife and children lived.

"Official, how is it, are you okay?" Although the wife of the dregs is old, she cares about Tang Yong very much.

Tang Yong's heart was extremely bitter, and if it weren't for you, a fool, how could I be involved in the White Lotus Sect.

However, he also knew that the matter had come to this point, and even if he blamed his old wife, it would be futile.

Zhang Ru's words in the military tent have already determined his life and death, no matter whether he has the intention of repenting or not, whether he can do justice and kill his relatives, he will definitely die.

The corners of his mouth hooked, pulling out a difficult smile, Tang Yong comforted me gently: "It's okay, it's okay, this time the mess is a bit big, so the adults arrested me." I haven't made it clear for the time being, but the adults don't seem to have any intention of killing me, so now I'm going to find a relationship to dredge it up. ”

The old wife couldn't help but complain: "Xianggong, how can the adults from the capital be so ugly, are they even worse in the capital than in the place?" ”

Tang Yong waved his hand: "Now is not the time to talk about this, all the trustworthy people in the house have been arrested, and now I don't even have a messenger, I really don't know what to do." If the joints are not opened with silver, when the time comes, as long as this Lord Qincha casually buckles the hat of a foreign enemy, our family will be in danger. ”

The old wife asked, "Xianggong, what kind of person are you looking for?" ”

Tang Yong pretended to be unintentional and muttered: "Why are you asking this, you don't know such a person." People who don't have the ability to do this thing will only put themselves in it, this Lord Qincha seems to have some kind of illness in his family, and he wants to find a miracle doctor, but the asking price of a certain miracle doctor in the capital is too high, and he has no silver, so he came up with this bad idea. ”

The old wife suddenly became vigilant: "Since this Lord Qincha is so powerful, why can the divine doctor not give Lord Qincha face?" ”

Tang Yong's eyes glared: "What do you know, although Lord Qincha is powerful here, but in the capital, he is just a small sesame official." There are more powerful people than this Lord Qincha, and many dignitaries and nobles have been favored by that divine doctor, if you are Lord Qincha, you dare to offend a divine doctor at the risk of your whole family being killed. ”

"Yes, yes, I would never dare to offend Huang Banxian." The old wife sneered.

Tang Yong's eyes lit up: "What did you say?" Huang Banxian? We are saved, quick, can you contact this Tang Banxian? ”

The old wife looked at Tang Yong suspiciously: "What are you looking for Huang Banxian for?" ”

Tang Yong said angrily: "Of course I'm looking for him to save my life!" Since this Huang Banxian has the ability to make your old clam give birth to pearls, it means that he has excellent medical skills, if he really cures the hidden diseases on the family of Lord Qincha, do you say that Lord Qincha will still take the lives of my family. When the time comes, the husband will find some officials in Beijing in the same year to make peace and send some silver, maybe the husband can be promoted one step higher in his lifetime. ”

"Husband is right, but we are all locked up now, even if we want to find Huang Banxian, we can't find it!" The old wife said the key.

Tang Yong said confidently: "You write a letter to Huang Banxian, ask for the address, and find a way to send it out for your husband." ”

The old wife asked a lot: "What's the way?" ”

In exchange for Tang Yong's eyes: "There is no one in this world who is not greedy for money, who has been reading the books of sages for decades for her husband, and she still can't do it with a clean breeze on her sleeves." These bitter Qiu Ba, relying on a handful of dead strength to beg for a bite to eat, what they lack most is silver. You can rest assured that as long as you write the letter well and write out the address, the husband will naturally be able to find the person who sent the letter.

After the family muttered for a long time, the old wife finally wrote the letter under Tang Yong's urging, and then he began to talk to the guard at the door: "This little brother, this little brother." ”

The guard turned his head and said coldly, "What are you doing, you are making a lot of noise." ”

Tang Yong raised the letter written on the white cloth with blood in his hand: "Little brother, I have twenty taels of silver here, you do me a little favor and send this letter out, the twenty taels of silver are yours." ”

"The catastrophe is coming, and you still want to buy me, I think you have itchy skin." The guard didn't give Tang Yong a good face at all.

Tang Yong sneered and said: "Little brother, help, although these twenty taels of silver are not much, you can buy clothes for your mother-in-law at home." Don't worry, as long as I go out, there will be a great reward. ”

The guard looked left and right, then lowered his voice and said, "What you said is true?" What is written in this letter, I guess I am looking for someone to save you! I can't read, you can't lie to me. ”

Tang Yong smiled: "Don't worry, I am also a parent official, and I never deceive people." ”

The guard first took the silver and flipped it in his hand, and then took the blood book and flipped it up and down.

It was a long time before the guard took the white cloth into his arms.

The heart of the old wife in the prison was let go at once, and she secretly laughed in her heart that the guard was too greedy for money. At the same time, I also admire my father-in-law very much, and his father-in-law's ability to talk nonsense with his eyes open is really not something that ordinary people can do.

As everyone knows, this nonsense is said to her.

All in order to save the child who was only seven years old.
