Chapter Seventy-Two: Confession
On the banks of the Green Willow River on the outskirts of Yongping.
Tang Zhiyao stood in the gazebo with his hands in his hands, looking at his daughter who was cheering and flying a kite in the distance, accompanied by the maid, I don't know if it was because of his age, or if the child's energy was too strong, he was too tired after playing with his daughter for a while, and finally he could only stay in the pavilion to rest and watch his daughter play.
"My lord, something is wrong......
At this time, the housekeeper Wang Yan suddenly hurried from outside, and then whispered a few words respectfully beside Tang Zhiyao.
"What?"
Tang Zhiyao's expression was shocked when he heard this, and he looked at Wang Yan with an incredible face.
"Is that true?"
"It's true. ”
"Come, prepare to leave for home!" Tang Zhiyao made a decisive decision with a cloudy face. "Wang Yan, you immediately go to visit the envoy of soldiers and horses, and tell the other party for me, don't act rashly, I will deal with the relevant matters and give him an explanation. ”
"It's my lord. ”
Wang Yan arched his hand towards Tang Zhiyao and quickly left the pavilion.
After a while, under the leadership of the attendant, the daughter returned to the pavilion with an unhappy face holding a big paper kite kite, and directly made an awkward scene when she saw her father.
"Father, didn't you say that you were going to play with Yaoyao all day? Why are you going back so soon, Yaoyao hasn't had enough fun! Hmph...... Father is a big liar......"
"Hehe......" Tang Zhiyao couldn't help but laugh in the face of his daughter's complaints, and he touched the child's cute little head and said. "Actually, my father really wants to play with you all the time, but just now someone from the house reported that the uncle who rescued you woke up not long ago, doesn't Yaoyao want to rush to meet your life-saving benefactor who woke up?"
"Really, is my uncle awake? Then let's go back quickly!" As soon as the little girl heard this, the little emotion in her heart disappeared in an instant, and she took Tang Zhiyao's hand and couldn't wait to walk towards the carriage prepared outside the pavilion.
"Yaoyao is good, don't worry! Don't worry, be careful if you fall......"
The excitement and excitement shown by her daughter made Tang Zhiyao's heart mixed for a while.
Tang Zhiyao is an old woman, he has always regarded his daughter as the pearl of his palm, and he loves him very much, obviously he is Yaoyao's father, but Yaoyao's feelings for that young man seem to surpass herself, is it because she has been too busy and neglected her daughter's care over the years, which has caused her daughter's emotional focus to shift?
It is undeniable that the young man who tried his best to save Yaoyao along the way is like a big hero in the eyes of any girl, and it is not surprising that his daughter will have a strong dependence on him.
It's a pity -
Zi Fei is not a good person!
When Tang Zhiyao learned from Wang Yan that the soldiers and horses envoy sent the governor of Yongping Mansion to arrest him according to the established plan, who would have thought that Dr. Zhong was diagnosed as a wasted person, and he miraculously recovered from his injuries, and broke out and slaughtered the governor of Yongping Mansion with a knife.
In the face of such a lawless and unscrupulous guy, staying by his side in the future will only be a disaster, and his original intention of re-recruiting the other party has completely dimmed.
If he is allowed to stay with Yaoyao for a long time, he may not know what his daughter will become in the future.
Those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black.
What if he was his daughter's savior?
What's more, his life is related to his alliance with the soldiers and horses in Jiangzhou, but any guy who affects his career, Tang Zhiyao, will be ruthlessly eradicated.
Since the founding of the dynasty, the balance between civil and military has always been emphasized, although later the civil officials have always controlled the right to speak in the court, but the power of the military generals in the local area can almost compete with the civilian officials, don't look at the fierce struggle between the old and new parties in the court, but no matter how much the struggle is difficult to involve the military generals headed by the Privy Council, because the Privy Council has always been controlled by His Majesty the Emperor through the eunuch group, and all parties involved in the court party struggle have maintained a transcendent neutral status, so the Privy Council is also the object of the two parties' best efforts.
And the Jiangzhou soldiers and horses are exactly the people Tang Xuanfu needs to win over who cannot be offended.
Tang Zhiyao and the soldiers and horses were inextricably linked, partly because of the friendship they had formed when they worked together in Beijing, and partly because the operation of the four families of Jiangzhou in Jiangzhou for many years greatly damaged the interests of the soldiers and horses, so Tang Zhiyao and the soldiers and horses made an alliance on the issue of dealing with the four masters of Jiangzhou, and naturally reached an alliance.
At the beginning, he tried his best to protect Chen An and had a disagreement with the soldiers and horses, but Tang Zhiyao was confident that he would improve the relationship with each other in various ways in the coming days, but only if Chen An, a peerless warrior, could be recruited to his command.
However, at the moment when Chen An killed the eunuch of Yongping Mansion, Tang Zhiyao deeply realized that Chen An's life could no longer be saved, unless he was willing to completely turn his face with the soldiers and horses, the question was whether Tang Zhiyao would do this?
On the way home, Tang Zhiyao has been thinking about how to give an explanation to the soldiers and horses.
Would it be better for the soldiers and horses to send people to "forcibly break" into the mansion to arrest Chen An? However, considering Chen An's terrifying strength, the entire Yongping Mansion might be bloodied at that time.
You can't attack by force, you can only outwit.
It may be a good choice to drugged the other party and stun each other.
Unconsciously, the carriage carrying Tang Zhiyao and Yaoyao returned to the house, Yaoyao got out of the car and was impatiently ready to run towards the west wing, but fortunately Tang Zhiyao grabbed her daughter in time.
"Yaoyao, do you want to go to see your life-saving benefactor like this?" Tang Zhiyao pointed to his daughter's somewhat dirty dress when she was playing on the riverside on the outskirts of the city. "Out of politeness, Yaoyao at least needs to take a shower and change into beautiful and clean clothes. ”
"Well, thank you, Father, for reminding me. After hearing this, Yaoyao suddenly realized, she made a grimace at Tang Zhiyao, and then hurriedly instructed the maid. "Xiao An, hurry up and prepare me warm bath water......"
After his daughter pulled the maid away, Tang Zhiyao walked to the hall and recruited the guards in the house. "Wang Ge, has the West Wing been cleaned up?"
"Lord Hui, after hearing the news of your return home, I will send someone to clean up. The Commander of the Guards said cautiously.
"What about him?" Tang Zhiyao sat on the Taishi chair and took a sip of the hot tea brought by the servant. "What's going on?"
"Back to my lord, he immediately asked the doctor to check on Xiao Xi'er who had fainted in the house after seeing us appear, and after seeing that she was fine, he asked us to prepare a large number of meals because of hunger......" Wang Ge's voice paused, and his face turned a little pale. "But ......"
"But what?" Tang Zhiyao said calmly.
"He has eaten all the food purchased in our house this morning......" Wang Ge said in a trembling tone.
"Eat...... What?" Tang Zhiyao turned his head to look at Wang Ge abruptly. "You said that he ate all the food for more than 40 people in the house?"
"Yes, sir...... You haven't seen him eat, his stomach is like a bottomless pit, and now the cook is tired from cooking on the stove. Wang Ge said with a sad face. "I've already ordered the steward to go shopping again, so tonight's dinner may be a little delayed. ”
