Chapter 35: The Three Cunning Foxes
Hey?
Here's a cute yellow bug!
It just so happened that on the face of his future father-in-law, he looked a little silly, and Tang Can even wanted to laugh a little.
However, at this time, how can you use a very funny laugh to break such a four-eye gaze?
After confirming his eyes, Tang Can recognized Chen Yonglian.
Although, in his memory, he only saw the prefect at the time of the engagement.
However, the murderous aura on Chen Yonglian's body still made Tang Can feel a sense of shock that was still fresh in his memory.
Silent......
Tang Can didn't take the lead in speaking, squinted his eyes playfully, looked towards Chen Yonglian's yellow bug, and instantly completed the analysis of the bug.
[With the palm of his right hand, hit the bug subject the cheek.] When the hit hits the pop...... Bang Bang Bang ...... Bang Bang Bang ...... , that is, the ability to unlock the bug. 】
"Damn! This bug is a bit ...... Could it be that my future father-in-law was a masochist? Beneath his frowning and stern appearance, there was a fanatical heart that longed for a belt and a candle whip?"
In an instant, Tang Can was a little dramatic!
But then again, isn't the general setting of this kind of mature uncle with a serious and cold appearance with a unique personality?
Yes! Yes!
That's a lot of power!
couldn't help but look at the palm of his right hand and raised it slightly......
A mysterious smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and Tang Can was simulating this unique sense of rhythm in his mind...... Bang Bang Bang ...... Bang Bang Bang ......
"Humph!"
Who knows, at this time, Chen Yonglian snorted coldly, then cleared his throat, deliberately pinched the style of Lord Yuezhang, and questioned Tang Can: "Now that it is a curfew, the virtuous son-in-law is still taking the family in the house on Jinque Avenue so late, there is a violation of the law." ”
Get off the horse!
It's a bit low-level!
Weigh yourself down with a curfew?
Tang Can smiled, you old and deep city, obviously you want to have a friendship with me, but instead bite me first?
This couldn't help but remind Tang Can that when he first joined the library, those old employees who had a city government were also like this one by one.
Regardless of what's going on, I'll pick on you for a little mistake and reprimand you. The sharpness of beating you, a newcomer, is extremely disgusting.
So, Tang Can also unceremoniously arched his hand and said: "I have seen the prefect in my later life, but the prefect's words are not good, and there are two fallacies.
First of all, the late birth was ordered by the lord of the city to go to the granary to transport grain. In the 38th case of the "Jinling City Curfew Law", it is stated that anyone who performs urgent official business under the order of the lord or prefect of the city may not comply with the curfew law. ”
"Well, if you make sense, you can barely pass the test. What about the fallacy in the second place? I just said this one thing, and I don't believe it, and you can find two more mistakes?"
Regarding Tang Can's unhurried and even somewhat "super-outlined" answer, the prefect Chen Yonglian was a little surprised, this "big fool" has really become smarter?
However, Chen Yonglian couldn't have imagined that what he said was wrong?
Word by word, he confirmed that there were no other loopholes or logical errors in the words.
However......
Tang Can looked like he felt that his hands were very dirty, wiped them on the wheel next to him, and looked down at the palms of his hands, and then said in a very disgusted tone: "The late birth is Tang Can, the son of Tang Xun, the head of the Tang Mansion, who is twenty years old and has never married. How dare you climb the prefect and can't afford the word 'virtuous son-in-law'. ”
Hearing this, Chen Yonglian's heart trembled slightly, and his eyes squinted carefully at Tang Can's two breaths, before he snorted with his nose, a smile rose at the corner of his mouth, and said as if he was very kind: "The eldest prince of Tang and my eldest daughter Chen Simu must have an in-law marriage contract, which is well known in Jinling City." ”
"The marriage contract is annulled! ”
Tang Can smiled and waved his hand, looking at Chen Yonglian with interest, because the day after Tang Can's "death", Chen Yonglian directly invalidated the marriage contract when he came to the Tang Mansion to mourn for the sake of his daughter's honor.
At that time, due to the death of the eldest prince of Tang, the marriage contract was annulled. Now that the eldest prince of Tang has come back from the dead, the marriage contract will continue to take effect. The eldest son of Tang and the little girl Si Mulang are a perfect match...... The official also felt that the previous marriage contract could be canceled, and the eldest prince of Tang was a talent, how could he be wronged to enter my Chen Mansion, and the new marriage contract should be a little girl marrying into the Tang Mansion. ”
This time, Chen Yonglian really felt Tang Can's "difference", is this really the big fool who drooled when he spoke in the past?
When he first started, he really wanted to suppress Tang Can's "sharpness" first, and then befriend him with Yan Yuese, but he didn't expect it...... Tang Can didn't give face so much, but directly talked about the "scrapped marriage contract".
But in this way, Chen Yonglian was a little more relieved.
It shows that this kid has resentment in his heart, and he is resentful because of the abolition of marriage, so the pattern must not be big, there is no city government at all, even if he is really a little clever, what can he become?
In his opinion, if Tang Can really has a city government and a strategy to do great things, he should be silent when he meets him here, and make friends normally, how can he show the resentment in his heart so shallowly?
Dealing with this kind of family child, Chen Yonglian felt that it was not difficult, as long as he followed his wishes, gave him a little sweetness, and casually complimented him a few words.
Even, Chen Yonglian also made a bloody investment, and directly crossed out the "loss of power and humiliation of the country" treaty, he felt that if he made such a concession, he would definitely be able to quickly repair the relationship between the two families and make the entire Tang family fall to his side.
However, Tang Can's next words made Chen Yonglian's jaw drop in shock.
The prefect laughed. Although I will not die, I ...... I'm afraid that my daughter can't marry me at all, right?"
As soon as Tang Can's words fell, he saw Chen Yonglian's face suddenly change in an instant, and then became more gloomy again, and he knew that his guess was indeed right.
Chen Simu was definitely not in Jinling City, and had even left Jinling City far away.
Why did Tang Can guess like this? In fact, from the moment he saw Chen Yonglian riding his horse to meet him, Tang Can deduced everything.
Don't look at Chen Yonglian's absence in Jinling City today, but since he was voluntarily "transferred from the mountain", how could he not leave some eyes and ears.
Presumably, what happens in the city will form a secret report in a short period of time and the flying pigeon will pass in front of him.
No matter what mysterious thing Chen Yonglian went out of the city to do, as long as he knew that he was an "immortal monarch descending to earth", based on his position and interest needs, he would inevitably seek a way to win over the Tang family again and pick up this more powerful chess piece.
Therefore, Chen Yonglian could have been in a hurry not so much and rested for a night at the post station outside the city, but he had to rush back to Jinling City overnight.
For what?
Of course, Chen Yonglian is also accurate, the Tang family will strike while the iron is hot, and quickly transport 100,000 catties of grain overnight before the iron rooster of the city lord Hu repents.
And from the grain depot to the Tang family, the only thing that can walk so many carts is Jinque Avenue.
Therefore, there is no need to go through the Golden Bird Avenue to return to the Chen family's mansion from the city gate, but our Chen prefect quickly opened the city gate and rushed over.
The purpose is actually more obvious, take this opportunity to repair the relationship with Tang Can.
And the reason why Chen Yonglian had to rush back tonight was that he knew more about City Lord Hu's personality, and knew that City Lord Hu would never let Tang Can easily move the 100,000 catties of grain, and he would inevitably design difficulties.
So, when Tang Can was being troubled, he appeared in time to support Tang Can, and stood on the side of the truth to help Tang Can get these grains.
This is a very logical gesture to the Tang family, and it can also pull Tang Can to his side of the line with great clarity.
However, what Chen Yonglian never imagined was that Tang Can successfully transported 100,000 catties of grain, not only that, but also transported 10,000 catties of dragon tooth rice, all of which far exceeded his expectations.
Could it be that Hu Yanzhi took the wrong medicine and gave up treatment?
No, when things go wrong, there must be demons.
When Chen Yonglian saw this sterling silver barn for the first time, he had a slight eye, and when he saw some ornaments on the top of the barn, he pondered for a while, and he completely understood what kind of medicine was sold in Hu Yanzhi's gourd.
That's when it ......
Chen Yonglian, who was completely disrupted of his plan, was back on track again, but he hadn't opened his mouth to get down to business, but he just habitually used the style of his elders to verbally suppress Tang Can, and he was a little at a loss by Tang Can.
Moreover, Chen Yonglian couldn't figure it out, where did Tang Can find out that his daughter Chen Simu had left Jinling City?
Could it be that among his personal guards, there are people arranged by the Tang family to come in?
No!
Even if he had been, when he left the city today, he had never told these guards what he was doing when he went out of the city.
Along the way, there was no sign of anyone reporting the news!
That......
How did he see this demonic-looking young man in front of him who seemed to have even more demonic intelligence?
Silent!
The expression on Chen Yonglian's face changed several times in succession, but he didn't say a word, just stared at Tang Can with his two eyes, trying to see through Tang Can's whole person.
"Your Excellency, don't be surprised. Ling Qianjin's trip to this distance, you must be very reluctant. But a good future is not a good thing. Late life has nothing to do with Ling Qianjin, you and I can't be Weng son-in-law, it's a pity, it's a pity!"
Tang Can pretended to be regretful, but Yu Guang glanced at the corners of Chen Yonglian's twitching mouth, and his heart was suddenly very happy.
Good old fox!
Life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills, just like who can't win the Oscar for Best Actor.
Tang Can had already judged that Chen Yonglian would inevitably take the opportunity of the evening to repair the relationship, so he was completely fearless in the granary, and he was not afraid of the city lord Hu personally killing him.
Because, as long as he dragged out the time, he just had to wait until the prefect in front of him came over to "send charcoal in the snow".
However......
Tang Can also didn't expect that the cards played by this Hu City Lord were a bit tricky and didn't follow the routine.
He had no choice but to pull the grain and go back from the Golden Bird Avenue according to the original plan, and even deliberately slowed down a little, and finally waited for the late prefect.
Merely......
Chen Yonglian also made Tang Can feel a little surprised, that is, Chen Simu, the eldest lady of the Chen family, was not in the company.
If he wants to repair the relationship, especially to restore the marriage contract, he will definitely bring Chen Simu over as soon as possible to "beauties".
Chen Simu didn't follow, the only possibility must be...... Couldn't come anyway.
Looking at it carefully, there was a little redness and tear stains in the corners of Chen Yonglian's eyes, and after such an association, a beautiful picture of father and daughter farewell under the sunset came to life spontaneously in Tang Can's mind.
There's no way, Tang Can, as a librarian, has read too many online novels, and the most powerful "ability" is all kinds of brain supplements.
speculated that at this point, Tang Can would be able to judge that eight or nine would not be far away, and Chen Simu must have been sent to a far away place on the grounds that his "great future" was better than "marrying Tang Can".
and then used words to deceive Chen Yonglian, and Tang Can was basically completely determined.
Speaking of which, the conspiracy between Tang Can, City Lord Hu and Prefect Chen is very complicated, but it can be summed up very simply......
Tang Can had to go to Hucheng's main grain Kura Grain, knowing that there would be obstacles, but he expected that Governor Chen would definitely rush back to repair the relationship, so he relied on this to go.
City Lord Hu would inevitably block it, but he used Tang Can's unexpected way to make it difficult to design, and it seemed that his skills were superior, so that Tang Can couldn't see what strategy he used.
Therefore, in order to resolve this crisis, Tang Can deliberately slowed down the speed of the convoy and waited for Chen Zhifu on Jinque Avenue, but from various signs, he judged that Chen Simu's whereabouts were unknown.
And Governor Chen, who came overnight, saw Tang Can pull out the grain, and the plan was also disrupted, but he easily saw the clue from the abnormality of the sterling silver barn.
But when he just wanted to show favor to Tang Can according to the original plan, Tang Can showed all kinds of wisdom far beyond his expectations, and even revealed Chen Simu's whereabouts.
Among them...... One ring is linked to another, the two old foxes are scheming, but Tang Can is not stupid.
He himself couldn't see through the design of the city lord Hu, so he had to borrow from the Chen prefect's mansion, if he really lowered his posture, wouldn't he be in the middle of the Chen prefect's subordination, so that the Tang family owed favors and inevitably fell to the side of the Chen prefect.
So......
Tang Can's brain was also quickly responding to these kinds of changes, skillfully grasping the balance of the situation, and deliberately hanging on to Governor Chen's mansion.
He knew that the old fox must have seen something and wanted to pretend to be a master to help himself.
You have to interrupt his rhythm and introduce it into your own rhythm before he takes the initiative to bring it up...... At last...... forced him to speak out in a hurry.
As the old saying goes, governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh.
But isn't it all like that?
Looking at Chen Yonglian's uncertain and somewhat cramped and uneasy face, Tang Can knew that the situation he was going to deliberately create was almost over.
Thereupon......
He deliberately yawned, stretched his waist, and said to Chen Yonglian: "Lord Prefect! It's late at night, and I'm sleepy, if there is nothing else, I will take these house slaves back to my house in the evening." ”
After that, Tang Can turned around and sat on the cart again, seeing that he was about to open his mouth to urge the family and the martial artists to return home, which became the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Chen Yonglian immediately drove his horse to stop in front of Tang Can's cart, and said eagerly: "Tang Canxian's nephew, you can transport back the other 100,000 catties of grain, but you must not transport this 10,000 catties of dragon tooth rice back to the mansion, so you should send it back to the granary of the city lord Hu as soon as possible......?"
