Chapter 225: Qiao Sheng is detained
At night, Lin Zi took advantage of Gong Weishu's lack of attention and sneaked into Xiao Tong's house.
"Ahh
"Shhh A familiar voice sounded in his ears, Xiao Tong gradually came back to his senses, he looked at Lin Zi, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
What did this man do when he didn't sleep at night?
Later, Lin Zi took him to his house.
“……”
Xiao Tong sat on the chair and saw him walking around in front of him, not speaking for a long time, and yawning several times in a row.
"I said Linzi, if you have something to say, say it quickly! I'm really sleepy! He yawned again.
Lin Zi saw that he still had time to sleep, so he walked over and grabbed his hand, "Xiao Tong!" You said that we should tell Miss Tang that the young master is the son of King Chen! ”
"Be quiet! I'm not telling you this! Xiao Tong didn't expect Lin Zi to be so bold that he dared to mention the matter of "King Chen".
Before his death, the emperor intended to give the throne to King Chen, but the emperor at that time took the first step to take the holy decree. It is rumored that the throne originally belonged to King Chen, and it was the current emperor who snatched everything from him, and then in order to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, he was demoted to the border, and he also sent people to kill everyone on the way.
At that time, Princess Chen was pregnant and died tragically on the way.
If the young master is really the prince of the morning king, this matter is tantamount to a big secret that can lose his head at any time.
In order to prevent the young master from being with Tang Mian, the old man did not hesitate to tell him everything, and gambled with the entire public family.
It is concluded that the young master will not put the lives of hundreds of people in the public family into it for Tang Mian.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Xiao Tong finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Lin Zi, don't tell Tang Mian this secret, you think! With her temper, tell her that she will definitely come to the young master, if the old man is in a hurry, if she doesn't get it right, she will really pull all of us to the funeral, I'm not afraid of death, but I don't want the young master to continue to be injured......"
Lin Zi wanted to refute two sentences, but when the words came to his mouth, he suddenly realized something, and then closed his mouth and did not continue.
And that was the end of the matter.
The wedding date was approaching, and Tang Mian began to be restless.
Even if she knew that it was a fake marriage, she still felt that something would happen in her heart, and she was teased by Bai Yunniang.
Unexpectedly, it didn't take two days.
The embankment in the upper reaches of the Wanshui River burst, and there was a lot of rain in various places, and the people in the lower reaches were killed and injured countless times, and the mourning was everywhere.
Among them, Xizhou is the most serious, with people displaced and homes destroyed. Qiao Sheng played the emperor and asked for an order to escort grain to Xizhou, but encountered mountain bandits halfway through the road and snatched all the rice for disaster relief.
The emperor was furious and took Qiao Sheng into custody.
Tang Mian received the news and immediately asked the people in the store to prepare rice grain. also went to Fang Yishu for help, wanting to meet the emperor.
"Mian, do you know that since Qiao Sheng entered the household department as an official, many people have complained about him, and this time it was not easy to seize this opportunity and not impeach him fiercely. The emperor also did this to protect him, if you go to meet the saint at this time, it is tantamount to being bored with yourself. Fang Yishu had only recently returned from the field, and after hearing about it, she was about to go to Tang Mian, but she found it.
"So what to do! Did you really watch Qiao Sheng being beheaded because of the loss of food! Tang Mian was anxious.
She estimated that Qiao Sheng went to take the imperial examination because she wanted him to contribute to Tianqi like he had done in his previous life.
Instead of seeing him go to his death.
"Mian, don't worry. I haven't finished speaking, Ming'er, you just do this......" Fang Yishu gave her a move.
After finishing speaking, Tang Mian's eyes lit up, and she knew that she understood what she meant.
Seeing that she was leaving, Fang Yishu hurriedly stopped her, "Mian, you'd better postpone the marriage for a few days." ”
What the?
Tang Mian stopped, there was still more than a month before she got married, why did she postpone it?
Fang Yishu knew what Tang Mian was thinking, and in order to hide the uneasiness in his heart, he cleared his throat.
"Mian, the impact of this flood is too widespread, the emperor has been so sad that he can't sleep because of the lack of money in the treasury recently, if you are an ordinary person, you will not attract the attention of others if you are married, the problem is that you are now the first richest woman in the Tianling country, you are currently staring at all the people in the east, if you get married at this time, someone will definitely make trouble with the emperor, and then it will be your friends who are bitter."
He was blunt, he knew Tang Mian's temper very well, between himself and others, she would definitely not choose herself.
After coming out of Fang Yishu's side, Tang Mian found Zhao Yu as soon as possible and proposed to him to delay the marriage of the two.
Zhao Yu didn't have much opinion, after all, this marriage was fake from beginning to end.
But the mother has been preparing for their marriage for a long time, if she tells her that the marriage is postponed, will she think too much.
Thinking of this possibility, he hurriedly went to Aunt Yao to discuss.
"It's okay, after all, the impact of marriage is not very good at this time, and it is important to save Master Qiao now." These days, Aunt Yao feels more relaxed than ever, she can feel that Tang Mian is a good girl, now she is just postponing the marriage, she can stay for a few more days, she is naturally happy.
Later, Tang Mian went to tell Bai Yunniang in person, she didn't have many opinions, after all, Qiao Sheng was still on the way back to the imperial city at this time, thinking that he was only an eleven-year-old child, and suffered such a big crime, her tears were no longer trapped, and they were rushing down.
"Mother, don't worry! No matter what method I use, I will save Qiao Sheng. Tang Mian was not worried in his heart, these days of bad parents, all of them can be Qiao Sheng's grandfather, and after the accident, Tian shamelessly pushed everything on him.
Just as she was cursing the local magistrate in her heart, Tian Bo entered the house with a letter.
"The owner, the brothers of Zhongyi Tang Xizhou came with the news that Qiao Sheng's robbed grain was all made by local officials hired by mountain bandits, and they also said, and said-" Tian Bo wanted to speak and stopped, after all, he also felt incredible, the emperor of a dignified country, the emperor who was loved by the Tianling country, could be such a person.
Seeing that he wanted to speak and stopped, Tang Mian was anxious, "Uncle Tian, what's wrong?" You have something to say! Tian Bo—"
"Boss, you'd better see for yourself!" After he finished speaking, he handed the letter to Tang Mian.
Tang Mian, who opened the letter, quickly swept over it, and was stunned when he saw the last few lines.
No wonder he always felt that this time the matter was not simple, it turned out that the emperor really asked the local officials to do it.
The purpose is to be sure that she won't watch Qiao Sheng have an accident.
"Damn!"
Since ancient times, emperors have been unpredictable.
The last time the emperor sent Qiao Sheng to clean up this mess, on the surface, he wanted him to exercise more, but in fact, he wanted her to pay for the disaster relief and food.
"Uncle Tian, pass my order to go down and transport all the grain in the granary to Xizhou, and early tomorrow morning, we will go to the streets of the imperial city to collect donations." Tang Mian finally came to his senses now, why did Fang Yishu propose to her to raise money just now, and to increase his momentum, it is estimated that he has received the news, and it is difficult to say it directly.
Seeing that Tian Bo turned around to leave, Tang Mian stopped him and told him to go to the account office to pay 500,000 taels of silver and send it to Zhongyi Hall, let them help escort it, and then post a notice to buy medicinal materials and send them to Xizhou.
