Coming out of the palace, Cheng Yanjin's feelings were very depressed, he knew that it would be such a result, and it was better to keep the watermelon for himself.

"This little Li Zhi is really getting more and more uncute, it's so cunning to eat my Lao Cheng's watermelon and not help......"

Back in the house, Cheng Yanjin muttered quietly with a calm face, but it is estimated that no one can understand what he is talking about except himself, in short, this old man is in a very bad mood now.

"Where's Xiaohu? Go and call me Little Tiger! ”

Sitting in the small hall in the backyard and drinking two sips of hot tea, Cheng Biting Jin's mood was a little smoother, and he remembered Tang Xiu's coming to Chang'an, and couldn't help but give another loud command to the family guarding outside.

Cheng Xiaohu is the big housekeeper of Lu Guogong's Mansion, don't look at the name Xiaohu, in fact, he is over fifty years old, and now the affairs in Cheng's Mansion are basically handled by Cheng Xiaohu, the big housekeeper, and Cheng Biting Jin generally wants to do anything just by talking about it.

Soon, before Cheng Biting Jin's third sip of tea was down, Cheng Xiaohu ran over all the way, and when he came to Cheng Biting Jin's approach, he said respectfully: "Master, you called me?" ”

Cheng Yanjin put down the teacup, looked up and asked Cheng Xiaohu: "How did you check the matter, is there any news about Tang Xiu's little cub?" ”

"Back to the old man," Cheng Xiaohu shook his head and said: "The people in the mansion have dispersed, and the inns in Chang'an City have also inquired all over the place, and it is preliminarily determined that the three of them have entered Chang'an City, but they stayed in a 'guest house' inn for three days and then left the room, and then there was no whereabouts." ”

knew the relationship between Tang Xiu and their master, so no matter whether Cheng Biting Jin was talking about Tang Xiu, a little cub, or this little bastard, Cheng Xiaohu respectfully called him Young Master Tang Xiu, and the degree of respect was not much worse than Cheng Boyu and their grandsons.

Cheng Biting Jin's eyebrows raised: "That is, I haven't found it yet?" What about the Criminal Department, did you send someone to the cell of the Criminal Department to guard it, the second child said that as long as Tang Xiu's little cub came to Chang'an, he would definitely inquire about Pei Youdao's whereabouts, and there was nothing to find over there? ”

stayed in the inn for three days, and Cheng Fu spent nearly two more days looking for them, which means that Tang Xiu and the three of them have been in Chang'an City for at least four days, if Tang Xiu is really so vengeful that he will revenge, he will definitely go to the Criminal Department to confirm Pei Youdao's death, although it is impossible for him to go by himself, but there will definitely be some clues left.

"There's no news from the Criminal Department either." Cheng Xiaohu continued to shake his head and said: "The cell head and squad members of the prison of the Criminal Department said that they had not seen any suspicious people to inquire about Pei Youdao's news, and only Pei Youdao's two sons and two daughters went to visit the prison during this time, and occasionally sent someone to send some good wine and food. ”

"What's more, Pei Youdao was not sentenced to beheading, but was sentenced to a distribution and migration, and he will be escorted to the Liangzhou area in a few days. I heard that Cui Jing is running around in the past few days, wanting to donate some money to avoid the sins of Pei Youdao's outcasts, and he already has some eyebrows. ”

"What?!"

Cheng Yanjin was suddenly furious, and slapped his right hand on the tabletop, and the entire teacup jumped up, and the tea in the cup splashed out and flowed down the tabletop.

"What a bastard! The death penalty has been changed to the distribution of exile, and now you still want to be exempted from exile? It's just too much of a bully, is it really easy for my grandson to bite Jin?! ”

The big crime is small, the small crime is small, and in the end, at most, it is just an insignificant crime on the body, and continue to be at ease outside, which is a common trick in officialdom. Generally, when encountering this situation, unless it is a heinous crime, people in the officialdom will turn a blind eye, after all, everyone has a few relatives and friends, who does not have a need to ask others to do things, sometimes it is convenient to be with others.

It's just that Cheng Yanjin never thought that this Cui Jing would dare to defy the world's condemnation for the sake of his in-laws, and dare to hit the head of the condemned prisoner with his idea, do you really think that he can cover the sky with one hand with a small servant?

Cheng Xiaohu interjected at the right time: "Master, why don't you let the old slave go to the Criminal Department to say hello?" ”

The face of the Lu Guogong Mansion is far from being comparable to Cui Jing, a small servant of the ministry, Cheng Xiaohu believes that as long as a greeting from the Cheng Mansion passes, Cui Han will give it in vain, and the prisoner named Pei Youdao will not be able to avoid the last knife in the end.

"There's no rush for this." Cheng Biting Jin took a deep breath, waved his hand and said, "First quietly spread the news of Pei Youdao's commutation, the old man won't believe that Tang Xiu's little cub hasn't come forward after hearing this news!" ”

"As for Pei Youdao and Cui Jing's old boy, after finding Tang Xiu, Lao Tzu will go back and clean them up!"

In Cheng Yanjin's eyes, Pei Youdao is a small role, and he can't run away from being in prison anyway, so the top priority at the moment is to find Tang Xiu first. Otherwise, he worked so hard and even did not hesitate to offer a watermelon to make the name Tang Xiu have an impression in Li Zhi's ears, what was it for, in addition to a little selfishness, it was more so that they could make the Tang family shine again?

It's okay to coax outsiders to escape the world or something, which one of them didn't come out to mix with the glory of their ancestors when they first debuted? Although Tang Wangchuan left Chang'an in frustration, the idea of glorious lintel must have never been broken, otherwise there would be no such watermelon with the combination of medicine and food today.

You must know that the integration of medicine and food is the goal that Tang Wangchuan has always been talking about back then, and he keeps saying that as long as he can cultivate it, the name of their old Tang family's medicinal diet will definitely be famous in history for future generations of doctors to admire.

It's just that no one would believe that he could grow it back then, so they didn't pay much attention to it, and they all paid attention to their old Tang family's medicinal diet recipes, and no one thought that after decades of time, Tang Wangchuan had been talking about 'medicine and food integration' really made him tinker with it.

I heard the second child say that the Tang family's boy is called Tang Xiu, who is an out-and-out loser, and there is a lot of stigma in the entire Taiyuan City. In this regard, Cheng Yanjin didn't care, what about the loser, and what about the gentleman? As long as he catches Tang Wangchuan's unique skill, he will still be able to mix well in Chang'an, and he will still be able to realize Tang Wangchuan's wish to glorify their old Tang family's court.

"Keep an eye on Pei Youdao, as well as those errand guards who guard Pei Youdao, you must find out Tang Xiu to the old man!"

"Yes, sir."

Cheng Xiaohu answered, bent down and exited the hall door.

"It's been almost thirty years." In the small hall, Cheng Biting Jin's face showed a gloomy look, looked up at the emptiness on his head, and sighed in a low voice: "Just think that my old Cheng couldn't stand you back then, and now I have the opportunity to make up for the debt I owed to you and my eldest sister back then." Although it is a little late, I am confident that I can live for more than ten years, and it is still too late. ”

"With my old Cheng here, no one can touch that little cub of your family, you can rest assured......"
