Chapter 408: Showing Your Heart
Early the next morning, as soon as the inn opened, Tong Tong came.
Seeing Tang Mianzhi, he looked a little cramped and uneasy, his grandmother told him about Aunt Bai's murder, he didn't expect such a good person to die, and he didn't realize that Tang Mianshuang cried in front of his grandmother yesterday.
"Tong Tong, if you have anything to say, just say it!" Tang Mian saw that although he was much taller, what he thought in his heart was written on his face, which had not changed at all.
"Tang Mian, I already know about Aunt Bai, if you can use my place, just say it." Tong Tong seemed to have sensed something, with his understanding of Tang Mian, it was absolutely impossible for her to let go of Aunt Bai's murderer and go to Lingcheng to see them, she must have found the whereabouts of the murderer when she traced it here.
"Tong Tong, what are you talking about? I really just passed by and took a detour to see you. Tang Mian knew very well that if Tong Tong was willing to help, she would deal a bigger blow to the king.
But she didn't want to involve Tong Tong in this incident, this child was thoughtful and flexible, if she showed the slightest suspicion today, he would definitely be stuck to it later.
"Tang Mian, what the hell are you thinking? How can I say that we used to be a family, Aunt Bai is still my stepmother, how can I watch her die like this! I'm no longer a filial son, don't use the tricks you used to play on others. After Tong Tong said this, tears unconsciously welled up.
His cry directly scared Tang Mian, in the depths of his memory, this child was as stubborn as a calf, and would not show his emotions in front of outsiders.
It seems that he really wants to help, but this matter involves his father, and he doesn't want Tong Tong to know what kind of person he is.
Just when Tang Mian didn't know what to do, Gong Weishu entered the house, opened his mouth and said to Tong Tong: "Shizi, we have recently been tracking down a Jiangnan thief surnamed Xu, I heard that he has fled to Lingcheng, if you have a way, help us check it." He has a direct relationship with Aunt Bai's death! ”
This flicker, Tong Tong hurriedly greeted him, turned around and left, waiting for him to leave, Tang Mian blamed him a little why he made up such a lie to tease Tong Tong, if he found out, they would really have to have a showdown when the time came.
Gong Weishu has an attitude that it is not a big deal to watch the excitement, they are now dealing with the Tong King, and the harm to Tong Tong is not greater, now give him a dose of fierce medicine, so that he can accept it when the time comes.
Anyway, the Jiang Yang thief surnamed Xu was made up by him, and it is estimated that she will not be able to catch it in ten days and half a month, so there is no need to bother them.
Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and the exhibition found out that Tong Wang was not in Lingcheng recently, as if he had gone to the next few counties to purchase things. It is estimated that he will not be able to return until later, and his subordinates have not made any special moves lately.
"Cotton, according to my speculation, the same king should know that we are coming, and he is silent now, probably trying to find out how much you know!"
Tang Mian followed Gong Weishu to feel the same way, she knew too well what Tong Wang, a hypocritical person, was thinking.
Anyway, this time he will definitely ruin him!
Tong Wang received news from his subordinates and learned that his mother and son had met Tang Mian, and he became more and more uneasy.
He always felt that Tang Mian came back this time to take revenge, and he seemed to know everything.
He was a little undecided.
If it weren't for the fact that his son suddenly said something half a year ago, he didn't expect that Tang Mian City Mansion would be so deep, and he would actually solve saltpeter and gunpowder in that palace quietly.
Just when the prince was guessing about Tang Mian's purpose, Tong Tong squatted in the government for a few days, in order to catch the Jiangyang thief surnamed Xu who had been committing crimes in many places as soon as possible.
"Lord Shizi, several of us have already investigated clearly, and recently in the 4 counties and 18 villages under the jurisdiction of Lingcheng, no suspects have been found to commit crimes, and not even a single thief has appeared."
The head catcher was halfway through his words, and seeing that Tong Tong was not angry, he dared to dare to continue: "Shi Ziye, there is a speculation that the news of Shi Ziye's friend is not accurate enough, or is it that the villain surnamed Xu has received the news and left Lingcheng ahead of schedule?" ”
He tried not to be too full of words, leaving a lot of leeway.
After Tong Tong listened, he was immediately woken up, suddenly startled, jumped up from the chair, and was so frightened that he always thought he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly compensated him, "Lord Shizi, you see that this little mouth is really nonsense, the Jiangyang thief surnamed Xu must not have left our Lingcheng yet, I will immediately recruit all the brothers to continue to go from village to village to investigate!" ”
"No need, head catcher, you and your brothers have worked hard in the past few days, and I will invite you to eat and drink when I am free."
Dropping these words, Tong Tong immediately rushed to the inn where Tang Mian and the others were staying, only to see him, and immediately questioned him: "Tang Mian, I treat you as a friend, but you treat me like this!" There is no Jiang Yang thief surnamed Xu at all, you are lying to me from beginning to end! ”
Facing the anger on Tong Tong's face, Tang Mian didn't intend to defend anything.
Seeing that her expression hadn't changed since she was exposed by herself, Tong Tong's liver was booming, and the more uncomfortable she was.
"Tang Mian, if you don't want me to help, when I'm a burden, you can just say it, there's no need for this!"
Gong Weishu felt that the atmosphere in the room was very wrong, and was about to open his mouth to explain Tang Mian, but he was glared at by Tong Tong.
"Young Master, this is a matter between me and Tang Mian, I hope you go out now, we need to have a good talk." Gong Weishu received Tang Mian's eyes signaling him to go out first, and he had no choice but to go out, only to find that he had left his own house.
Without being disturbed by Gong Weishu, Tong Tong asked Tang Mian directly: "Did Gong Wenze tell you something, and then you refused to let me help?" Or does this have something to do with Gong Weishu? ”
Tong Tong asked two hypothetical questions, which made Tang Mian's eyes widen instantly
What do you want her to say, could it be that the person who told her that Tong Tong killed her mother was his father?
No one can accept this!
"Tang Mian, I really want to help you find out the real murderer of Aunt Bai, don't keep pushing me out, if there is something I can help with, I will definitely be duty-bound......" Seriously, Tang Mian was very relieved when he heard him say this.
He didn't want Tong Tong to help, he only hoped that he wouldn't resent himself after learning the truth.
After all, as long as the prince is moved, it is estimated that his identity as the son of the world will no longer be kept, and the palace will fall apart.
After a while, Tang Mian sent Tong Tong away, turned around and saw Gong Weishu standing behind him, looking at her with a smile on his face.
"I'm about to be tortured by Tong Tong and go crazy, why don't you even say a word for me." Tang Mian looked at him helplessly, and seemed to be a little moved in his heart.
After all, the worst person in the entire Tongwang Mansion is the same king.
If he could, he really didn't want to touch Tongtong and Concubine Zhao.
