The relationship between the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion has been severed, and I can only hope that the military department is still in the line. Fortunately, Mao Zongxie has been involved with Shang Chengjie's master, for the sake of safety, he must have a direct interview with Shang Chengjie, last time he was because he thought things too simple, and he had a fork, and he must not make the same mistake again.

The matter of fifty thousand taels of silver must be investigated, but now is not the time. Tang Tong had already come out of the joy of Zhongju, and all his thoughts were devoted to opening up the joints. Mao Zongxie is capable, and the meeting with Shang Chengjie was about the fourth night of the fifth month.

Shang Chengjie, the secretary of the military department, is the younger brother of Shang Chengjie, the prince of Qi, and the Great Zhou Dynasty implemented a civilian system, and all the officials of the six ministries were civilian. Shang Chengjie is a second-class jinshi in the 12th year of Jiaqing. With the support of the four nobles to occupy the military department for less than half a year, this person is greedy, suppressed his desire at the beginning, and when he arrived at the stall of the new imperial examination to assign positions, he was in power, and his heart had already itched, and he would never let go of the fat that was sent to the mouth.

After dinner, Tang Tong, Mao Zongxie and He Wang came to the Shang Mansion on Maiden Street on the west side of Dongzhi Street, and waited for a while after handing over the name post, Shang Chengjie's Master Wen came out and welcomed Tang Tong and Mao Zongxie into the mansion. Master Wen let Tang Tong stay in the living room alone, and let Mao Zongxie wait in his room, and the relationship between the two was already very harmonious.

It didn't take long for Master Wen and Shang Chengjie to come out together, Tang Tong had seen Shang Chengjie, and immediately saluted: "Xia Guan has seen Lord Shangshu!", he didn't dare to slack off, and waited for Shang Chengjie's reply.

Until Shang Chengjie stretched out his hand, "Lord Tang sit down!", and after Shang Chengjie sat down, Tang Tongfang dared to sit down.

"Lord Tang is the protégé of the Marquis of Qingyuan, why did he come to my mansion, did he break the rules?", Shang Chengjie spoke tepidly, with a somewhat blamed tone.

Tang Tong immediately stood up and saluted, "I mentioned to the Marquis of Qingyuan that I wanted to stay in the capital, but the Hou Ye sternly refused, and it is not a bad rule to come to Lord Shangshu again.".

Shang Chengjie still felt that it was inappropriate, and he was a little reproached, "Then you should listen to the words of the Marquis of Qingyuan and go to Xuanfu!".

"It's not that I speak ill of my teacher, I don't even have a helping hand from my relative Chen Qinqiang, let alone an outsider like me.", Tang Tong was helpless when he spoke, and sighed softly.

What kind of person is Chen Dehuai, Shang Chengjie knows very well in his heart, and smiled lightly, it is rare to have such a sensible person, Chen Dehuai's jealousy is extremely strong, Tang Tong is Chen Qinqiang's person, and promotion is a fantasy. Shang Chengjie cut to the topic, "Why is Lord Tang so anxious to stay in the capital?".

Tang Tong was still standing, bowing his head and being very respectful, "My wife died in a military accident, I don't want my son to still grow up in the war, I want to change to a safe environment.", said neither humble nor arrogant, very polite.

Shang Chengjie also felt that it made sense when he heard it, people with families who don't want the safety of their families, but they were still very embarrassed to say; "Jobs in the capital are scarce, it's difficult! Then what position do you want?", he didn't look at Tang Tong as he spoke, but he actually understood it very well in his heart.

Tang Tong also did not hide, "I want to seek the captain of the city gate of Xidingmen.".

Shang Chengjie just saw that Tang Tong was begging for this idle position, the oil and water were the smallest, and no one wanted to fight at all, so he agreed to see him. But he couldn't show it, and deliberately dragged out his voice, "I'm afraid this is a little difficult, there are already people in Xidingmen!", said with his right hand and kept tapping on the coffee table.

Tang Tong immediately put the 50,000 taels of silver tickets on the coffee table knocked by Shang Chengjie's hand, Shang Chengjie glanced at it, and seemed to be a little moved, but he suppressed his mood and was still drinking tea. After putting down the teacup for a moment, he shook his head in embarrassment, "It's not that I don't help, you also know who you offended, and besides, there is Yunyang Hou staring at it!".

Tang Tong was very interested, "The lower officials know the difficulties of the adults, there are old cases of the military department that are pending, and they can be handed over to the cabinet for disposal, as long as there is my name, it is enough.", he didn't dare to make a move, and waited quietly.

This matter is too easy, and it is 50,000 silver, Shang Chengjie is moved. Although the captain of the Xiding Gate has been decided, it was decided by the four nobles, and he did not receive any benefits. There are still a few difficult ones, it is better to leave them all to the cabinet.

Shang Chengjie thought for a long time, looked at the silver ticket and coughed a few times, "I'll think about this matter again!", after speaking, he picked up the teacup and scraped the edge of the teacup with the lid.

Tang Tong immediately saluted and said, "Farewell to the official!", and turned around and walked out of the living room. Mao Zongxie was already waiting in the courtyard, Tang Tong's head was tilted forward, and Mao Zongxie followed Tang Tong out of Shangfu.

Back at the Tang Mansion, Tang Tong went to the study and sat down. Mao Zongxie also found a seat and sat down. At this time, they had always served tea, and the two drank a few sips of tea. Mao Zongxie asked tentatively, "Are things going well?"

Tang Tong was confident, "As Brother Mao said, Shang Chengjie was moved by the silver for the sake of the silver, and this matter is not far from ten!" It depends on whether Lan Chou will come to stir up the situation.", I am still not sure in my heart, and it is the most difficult thing to be unresolved.

Mao Zongxie calmed down, and this matter finally had a successful beginning." What do you think about the 50,000 taels of silver?", both of them understood which 50,000 taels of silver, and they were aggrieved in their hearts!

Tang Tong thought for a while, "I want to hear Brother Mao's advice!".

Mao Zongxie knew that Tang Tong was a very assertive person and could listen to his own opinions, which was to be more thoughtful. So he said casually: "This matter is pressed back, and it is spread out that the adults are ungrateful, do things too seriously, and stir up the peace of the Qingyuan Marquis!".

The whereabouts of the 50,000 taels of silver have been investigated, Tang Tong found Chen Qinjin's house, tortured all the tricks, all of them were put into his pocket by Chen Qinrui, and he lost a fine light in the Xiangxing Gambling House, and none of the 5,000 taels of silver came out, so that Chen Qinjin recorded it in the account, leaving a deficit of 5,000 taels, so that Tang Tong was not up or down, Chen Qinjin returned the fifty taels of silver tickets, so angry that Tang Tong pushed Chen Qinjin to the ground, no matter how small the fly was, it was meat, and Tang Tong only took the silver and left angrily.

Tang Tong smiled wickedly, "That's what I mean, too!" Find the right time!".

"Only adults can think of it, that's 50,000 taels of silver!".

Tang Tongbi was confident, "Put it there first, let Chen Qinrui return it doubly, wouldn't it be relieved to think about it?", Mao Zongxie laughed happily when he heard it.

"What do adults think of Chen Dingxian?".

I never thought that the Mao Sect Association would bring up this topic, Tang Tong thought about it, "This person is scheming, and there is no faith at all.

Mao Zongxie nodded again and again in praise, "My lord, as long as this person has benefits, he will stick up, and the villain's face can't become a big thing!" What about Hu Xiyu?", said and looked at Tang Tong, very weird.

Tang Tong looked at Mao Zongxie and wondered, why did he have so many problems today, he was testing himself. So he said: "This person can't talk to anyone, and he can't be a friend if he is arrogant. What's wrong with Brother Mao today, these people won't help us?".

Mao Zongxie did not directly answer Tang Tong's words, "Adults are still accurate in seeing people, if they only look up, and ignore the people who often get along with themselves day and night, they will cause unnecessary trouble, take Chen Dingxian as an example, if you are too far away, because of resentment, you can make more enemies, as long as Hu Xiyu has a heart-to-heart with him, he is also a very helpful person to adults!"

Tang Tong thought that Mao Zongxie was right, and the people around him couldn't be lazy, he hadn't reached the point where he could enslave others, so he nodded in appreciation, "I remember Brother Mao's words!" In this regard, the two students are treated differently.".

Mao Zongxie changed the topic again, "Now the person who should be the most important person for adults is Shang Chengjie, and this person's help to adults will be limitless!", this is a kind reminder, knowing that Tang Tong is naturally clear, just let him pay enough attention.

Tang Tong looked at him and smiled, "So let Brother Mao have a good relationship with Master Wen, and I hope Brother Mao won't slack off!"..

Mao Zongxie also understood his position, stood up and saluted, "This is my duty, and I will never let the adults down!".

Tang Tong also stood up and pressed his hand, "Sit down!" What is the relationship between you and me, why do you need to be like this!", the so-called scholar is a confidant who dies, Mao Zongxie is because Tang Tong treats himself like a relative, talks about everything, and never has any prejudice against himself, so he is so dedicated and never loses himself!
