Chapter 190: Interesting
After the smoke on the opposite side dissipated, Master Tang was already sweating, his clothes were soaked, and he leaned weakly on the shelf, constantly ventilating.
Xu Shizi looked at Master Tang leisurely and chuckled. Then, Xu Shizi took out a small bottle from his sleeve, poured out a pill from the bottle, turned his head and handed it to Ning Fu, and ordered, "You go and take this to the person surnamed Tang." ”
Ning Fu saw the pill in his hand, his eyes were puzzled, and he asked, "What is the use of this pill?" ”
"This is a pill that can make people unconscious, and after taking this pill, it will become what you ask, and he will answer?" Xu Shizi said with a faint smile.
"What does Xu Shizi want to use this pill to ask from Master Tang?" Ning Fu asked curiously.
Xu Shizi said: "I just want to find out from the mouth of Master Tang where is the old foundation of their Tang family?" ”
After Ning Fu listened to Xu Shizi's words, his mouth twitched a few times, and two pieces of sweat flowed down Ning Fu's forehead like thin lines. Ning Fu couldn't understand why Xu Shizi had to treat Master Tang like that before since he had such a good thing. Ning Fu asked Xu Shizi directly: "Then, what is the use of what you asked your subordinates to do before?" ”
"Ahh No, I just think it's interesting. This son is so old that he has never interrogated a prisoner. I've heard that this is how prisoners are interrogated in prisons, and I just want to try it. Xu Shizi smiled very happily and replied confidently.
The corners of Ning Fu's mouth twitched a few more times in his unconsciousness, Xu Shizi's style of doing things was really peculiar, and he really couldn't understand it for a while. However, when he seemed to be helping Xu Shizi torture people like this, a sense of excitement also rose in his heart. Ning Fuqiang suppressed the excitement in his heart and tried his best to calm himself down. But his heart was beating too fast, Ning Fu shook his head and shook off the strange thoughts in his mind.
"Go ahead." Xu Shizi raised his chin and motioned for Ning Fu to feed the pill to Master Tang.
Ning Fu calmed down, walked up to Master Tang, forcefully opened Master Tang's mouth, and threw the pill into Master Tang's mouth. Master Tang was treated like this suddenly, he was completely unprepared, after taking the pill, he was very scared, he tried to vomit, but the pill still did not come out. Master Tang couldn't help but look at Xu Shizi in horror and asked loudly, "What did you feed me?" Don't give me the antidote yet. ”
Old Man Tang vomited out as he spoke, but he was about to vomit all his saliva, and the pills he ate still didn't move.
"Master Tang, don't waste your efforts, this pill is imported and melted." Xu Shizi took a sip of tea and said leisurely.
"You, what did you give me food?" Master Tang panicked in his heart and asked Xu Shizi anxiously.
Xu Shizi smiled lightly and said, "Master Tang, please rest assured, this pill is not poison. That's a good thing. You'll find out later. ”
Seeing that his struggle was useless, Master Tang didn't plan to waste his efforts in vain. Old Master Tang began to concentrate on staring at Xu Shizi and Ning Fu vigilantly, and he was worried that these two would take advantage of his defenselessness to stuff other things into his mouth.
"Cut." Xu Shizi looked at Master Tang's defensive look and felt funny. Master Tang is now tied up by him, how does he want to deal with Master Tang, can Master Tang be able to guard against it if he wants to?
After waiting for a while, Master Tang also quieted down, and Xu Shizi slowly asked, "People say that your Tang family is the most powerful family in Wuzhou. So what is the most powerful thing about your Tang family? ”
"Of course, it's because our Tang family is rich. Our Tang family's money can't be used up in several lifetimes. What are you royal, our Tang family is much richer than your royalty! Master Tang said proudly to Xu Shizi.
"Richer than royal? Where did your Tang family's money come from, because of business? Xu Shizi asked curiously.
"How could it be. Our Tang family only does business in Wuzhou, and we can't make much money from this business. We are only doing business in order to master the business field in Wuzhou, and we have always occupied a leading position in Wuzhou, so as to achieve that our Tang family has always been able to call the wind and rain in Wuzhou. "Master Tang thinks that the question of Xu Shizi is a bit ridiculous, how big is Wuzhou, even if all the business in Wuzhou is opened by their Tang family, their wealth cannot be closed to the royal family!
"Oh, and where did your family's money come from?" Xu Shizi asked gently.
"That's because we have a treasure in our house with a whole lot of money hidden in it. All that money is piling up. Master Tang raised his eyebrows proudly and said, then looked at Xu Shizi with disdain and said, "Surely you have never seen so much gold, silver and jewelry in your life?" ”
"Where did you get all these jewels?" After listening to Master Tang's words, Xu Shizi was stunned for a moment, but he was not carried away by Master Tang's words. Xu Shizi was worried that Master Tang was lying, because if a person always had a big illusion in his heart, he would also think that he really had such an illusion. Moreover, if the Tang family really had such a treasure, how could the Tang family be so harmonious, and they would have killed each other in order to grab the treasure. Xu Shizi was skeptical of Master Tang's words for the first time. In order to confirm the authenticity of Master Tang's words, Xu Shizi continued to ask Master Tang very patiently.
"Hmph, I can't tell you this." Master Tang replied with Xu Shizi.
"Hmph." Xu Shizi sneered disdainfully and said, "Master Tang doesn't even want to say this, I'm afraid that you just said that your Tang family has hidden treasures is a lie, right?" ”
"Nonsense, what I'm saying is true, we really have a big treasure in our family. It's hidden under our current house, and the entrance is in my father's room. Master Tang saw that Xu Shizi didn't believe it, and he was anxious.
"If that's the case, why are the people of your Tang family still so harmonious, if your family really has treasures, your Tang family should have made trouble a long time ago. Could it be that your Tang family are all people who are not greedy for money? Xu Shizi still said to Master Tang in a tone of disbelief.
"That's because all this wealth has been passed down from our older generation. Our Tang family has a rule that this wealth will be passed directly to the eldest son, and only the eldest son is qualified to know the news of this treasure, not the eldest son is not qualified to know. I only found out a few years ago, and it just so happens that I am my father's next successor. Master Tang was anxious to prove to Xu Shizi that what he said was true.
"And where does your family's money come from?" If it's really like what this Tang master said, then where did their family's treasures come from? Xu Shizi thought it was strange.
"The origin of our treasures is recorded in a book. In the past, our ancestors were thieves, and they went to rob the money of rich families, and they transported all the jewelry they robbed to Wuzhou to hide it. Later, they didn't do it, and they came to Wuzhou to take root. Then, the Tang family in Wuzhou was established. At that time, there was a requirement in our ancestral teachings that our Tang family was not allowed to leave Wuzhou for half a step. Otherwise, our ancestors would no longer bless us. "Master Tang told me about the things in his family.
"All stolen from the rich and noble? How many years will they have to steal so that you will not have to worry about food and clothing for a few lifetimes? Xu Shizi still felt a little incredible, it must be that Master Tang was exaggerating.
"Of course, it's not just stealing from the rich. Our ancestors are amazing! Our ancestors went to the palace to steal things, and once emptied the treasury! Master Tang replied arrogantly.
"Through the palace treasury?" When Xu Shizi heard the news, his eyes flashed, and something seemed to come to his mind, as if he had heard someone say when he was a child that many years ago, that is, his great-grandfather's grandfather's generation, there was a year when the money in the palace was stolen. Could it be that this Tang family is the one who stole the palace and the treasury back then? However, Xu Shizi can't remember whether there is really such a thing, because this incident is a great insult to the royal family, and it is not recorded in the annals.
Shen Yafei saw that Xu Shizi was frowning and pondering, looked at him curiously, and asked softly, "Is there really such a thing?" ”
"Hmm." Xu Shizi nodded and replied, "I seem to have heard from the older generation when I was a child. ”
"So we've solved this hundred-year-old case now?" Shen Yafei said happily.
Xu Shizi saw Shen Yafei smiling, and his mood improved a lot. After listening to Shen Yafei's words, Xu Shizi also had a special sense of pride in his heart. However, before Xu Shizi fully confirmed this matter, he still had to confirm with King Ning. Finally, let's discuss how to deal with the people of the Tang family. However, if the Tang family is charged with stealing, it will be much easier for them to deal with the Tang family. It's a pity that the Tang family's theft happened many years ago, and now there is no human and material evidence. He can't use the law to make a fuss.
"But even if your family doesn't have any treasures, your Tang family is still the richest person in Wuzhou." Xu Shizi not only wanted to take away all the money of the Tang family, but also wanted to crush all the people of the Tang family, "Which of your Tang families have the most prestige and ability now?" Or is it only your lord's family that is the best? ”
"In addition to our main family, our Tang family also has my uncle's family in recent generations, and we all gave them a share of treasures when we split up. And now although it is said that my father is the ruler of the family, it is actually my second, third, and fifth uncles who give advice to my father. It was they who gave us the Tang family ideas and let us control the most important merchants in Wuzhou. This is also the reason why our Tang family is now able to walk sideways in Wuzhou. Master Tang replied honestly.
"Oh." Xu Shizi smiled lightly and nodded. I see, no wonder Mrs. Tang and Mr. Tang are so stupid, but the Tang family can still become stronger and bigger in Wuzhou, it turns out that there are other people behind this big idea!
