The eldest son is fierce

Tang Yi had already seen Tang Jing come in with a cold face, and when he saw Yan Shuangyu's hard work, he couldn't help but laugh sarcastically.

I have to say, this woman's acting is really good.

If he were to live in later times, he would definitely be a good actor and would have won many Golden Horse Awards.

"What's going on again? Can't you just be quiet?"

Tang Jing was already in a bad mood, and when he returned home and saw Tang Yi and Yan Shuangyu making a fuss again, his expression suddenly became even uglier.

"Master, you are back."

Yan Shuangyu pretended to have just learned that Tang Jing had returned, and turned around and threw herself into Tang Jing's arms.

She cried like a pear blossom in the rain, and I felt pity for her.

"Master, please save Hua'er and Hao'er quickly. Xiaoyi is going to break their arms and legs."

"Master, I can't persuade him. Please save Hua'er. He still has to take part in the palace examination. Xiao Yi has beaten him so hard that his face is covered in blood. How can he face people..."

"..."

Tang Jing looked up and saw Tang Hua and Tang Hao lying on the ground with blood all over their faces.

His face suddenly turned cold. This bastard actually dared to harm his brother.

"Dad, help! Tang Yi wants to kill us, we didn't provoke him..."

Tang Hao cried for help, his voice hoarse.

But at this moment, his and Tang Hua's eyes were shining, staring at Tang Yi intently.

Haha, Dad is back!

Aren’t you crazy? Go even crazier!

Just wait for your dad to get angry and kick you out of the house!

however.

Tang Jing simply glanced at Tang Yi and said indifferently, "Tang Yi, let him go first. If there's anything, can't we sit down and talk it out? Does it have to be bloody?"

"You are all descendants of the Tang family. You are brothers, not enemies."

Hearing this, Tang Yi and Tang Hua were stunned, and Yan Shuangyu's crying also stopped abruptly.

what? !

Why is it different from what I thought!

Shouldn't Tang Jing be furious at this time, beat Tang Yi up and throw him out of the house?

He actually... discussed it with Tang Yi calmly?

This...how is this possible?

Even Tang Yi frowned. What was wrong with this old man?

"Let them go. It's very simple. It's not difficult at all."

Tang Yi glanced at Tang Jing with a half-smile: "They stole my silver. Minister Tang will pay it back for them."

"Five hundred taels, return it on your knees, and this matter will be over."

Tang Jing's calves trembled and he almost fell to the ground.

Steal Tang Yi's money?

How dare they? That was the silver that His Majesty rewarded Tang Yi.

If His Majesty knew about this, the Tang family would be doomed!

"Dad, we didn't steal. Tang Yi wronged us."

"Dad, you have to make the decision for us..."

Tang Hao rolled and crawled to Tang Jing, grabbed Tang Jing's hand and accused Tang Yi.

Their father dotes on them and confuses right and wrong, which is their strong point.

Snapped!

result.

Before he could finish his words, Tang Jing suddenly raised his hand and slapped Tang Hao in the face.

The force was so strong that Tang Hao fell to the ground.

Half of his face was swollen.

"Asshole, you still have the nerve to cry out for injustice?"

"Do you know that because you stole Tang Yi's banknotes, I almost couldn't come back today?"

Hearing Tang Jing's roar, Tang Yi covered his face and was stunned on the spot.

His father didn't listen to his excuses and beat him for Tang Yi?

Tang Hua's pupils widened involuntarily, his face full of disbelief.

Yan Shuangyu was also shocked, staring at Tang Jing with tearful eyes.

In the past, Tang Jing would always stand on their side regardless of right or wrong, but now he actually beat Tang Hao for Tang Yi?

How come he seems like a different person after coming back from court?

Tang Yi looked at this scene and his brain short-circuited. What tricks was this old man playing?

"Master, what's wrong with you?"

"It was Xiaoyi who wanted to hurt Huaer and Haoer, why did you..."

Yan Shuangyu blinked and tears fell.

Tang Jing was furious when he saw Yan Shuangyu trying to stir up trouble in front of him in order to protect her son.

Years of accumulated dissatisfaction finally exploded at this moment.

Before she could finish her words, Tang Jing suddenly raised his hand and slapped Yan Shuangyu in the face.

Snapped!

Yan Shuangyu was slapped to the ground and fell flat on her face.

"what!"

The severe pain made Yan Shuangyu scream.

However, compared to the pain, what shocked and disbelieved her the most at this moment was... Tang Jing actually dared to hit him.

It has been twenty years. In the past twenty years, whenever she shed tears, this man would soften his heart.

But now, he actually beat her for Tang Yi.

"Master..." Yan Shuangyu burst into tears due to grievance.

"Ignorant woman, is this how you usually teach your son?"

"Even if our Tang family isn't considered a wealthy aristocratic family, we are still a family of scholars. How dare you teach them to steal and frame their brothers?"

"You have let me down too much!"

"Do you know that their theft will bring disaster to the Tang family?"

Tang Jing was extremely angry.

Seeing the golden hairpin and the inkstone fragments on the ground, he guessed the truth of the matter.

But he was not angry because of the truth, nor was he trying to help Tang Yi. He was doing it for Tang Yi to see and to calm him down.

Otherwise, if the news of Tang Hao and Tang Hua stealing Tang Yi's silver reached the emperor's ears, the matter would become serious.

Tang Hua and Tang Hao were stunned. Is this still the father who doted on them?

The father who doted on them was actually helping Tang Yi? He was actually helping Tang Yi?

Last morning at court, my father was replaced?

When Yan Shuangyu saw the furious Tang Jing, her face turned pale. She had realized the seriousness of the problem.

The reason why Tang Jing was so angry was that there must be something wrong with the silver that Tang Hua and Tang Yi stole from Tang Yi.

But aren’t those just a few banknotes?

A few banknotes could bring disaster to the Tang family.

Tang Yi also guessed that the middle-aged man who bought the poem that day must be of an extraordinary identity. Now it seems that not only is he extraordinary, but he also holds a high position of power in the court.

Moreover, he is very likely Tang Jing's political enemy.

So, after finding out his and Tang Yin's identities, he told the emperor directly.

Then, the emperor had a talk with Tang Jing today, and was very ambivalent towards him.

If that's the case, then this emperor is quite interesting! Judging from the situation, he must be an old scoundrel!

Of course, this is not important. What is important is that with this information, he can control everyone in the Tang family in all aspects.

"Okay, Minister Tang, let's stop the show."

Tang Yi had long seen through Tang Jing's poor acting skills.

He sneered and said, "Don't worry, I'm not that idle. I want to make a big deal out of this... But the prerequisite is that you return my silver to me."

"Five thousand taels, not a penny less, not even a penny less!"

Tang Jing heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this.

He looked at Yan Shuangyu and said coldly, "Give him the silver."

Yan Shuangyu's face froze, and Tang Hua and Tang Hao also looked unnatural.

"What? Is there a problem?" Tang Jing stared at Yan Shuangyu, his eyes becoming even colder.

Yan Shuangyu was almost crying with anxiety.

"Master, the Tang family is out of money now. Xiao Yi wants five thousand taels... Where can I find five thousand taels?"

When Tang Jing heard this, he felt dizzy and almost fell to the ground.

He steadied himself and stared at Yan Shuangyu in disbelief. "Where's the silver? I clearly remember that when Liu Ruyu passed away, the Tang family still had 50,000 taels of silver left after clearing all their accounts. How long has it been? And you're saying there's no silver left?"

There was also a cold look on Tang Yi's face. Fifty thousand taels were what his mother left for him and Tang Yin.

But after this woman took charge of the Tang family, she acted like a nouveau riche, spending money lavishly.

Even during the time when Yan Shuangyu just took charge of the family, the silver notes that Tang Hao and Tang Hua carried with them were never less than three thousand taels!

"Master, the Tang family's business has been down recently. Add to that the gifts from the noble families and the various expenses of the mansion, and the Tang family... the Tang family really doesn't have much money right now."

Yan Shuangyu explained in a low voice, tears streaming down her face, and I felt pity for her.

But she had calmed down at this time. The so-called crisis was actually just Tang Yi. As long as she could calm Tang Yi down, the emperor would not say anything even if he was angry.

After all, this is a family affair of the ministers!

"You!" Tang Jing wanted to slap him, but he held back and almost fainted from anger.

Prodigal bitches!

Fifty thousand taels of silver, how long had she been in this family, and it was gone? ? ?

Somehow, at this moment, he suddenly missed his deceased wife.

If Liu Ruyu were still alive, this would never have happened!

"Master, although the Tang family has no money, we can mortgage one of our shops to Xiao Yi."

Seeing Tang Jing's face becoming increasingly grim, Yan Shuangyu hurriedly looked at Tang Yi and said, "Xiao Yi, how about this? The Tang family will give you a shop. The shop can be independent from the Tang family, and all future profits will belong to you. How about the treasury?"

Use assets to repay debts?

It is possible, but now that the Tang family is in such a half-dead state, how much can the Tang family store be worth?

"Mrs. Tang Er is so naive. You think you can get rid of me just because of a shop?"

Tang Yi raised five fingers and said, "You can use the shop to pay off the debt, but I want this amount."

Upon hearing this, Yan Shuangyu's face suddenly turned cold. Tang Hao, who had just recovered from his shock, jumped up on the spot: "Five? Why don't you go and rob them?"

Tang Yi glanced at Tang Hao calmly: "Five rooms? You look down on me too much! I'm talking about fifty rooms... This is called robbery."

"Are you crazy?! The Tang family has only twenty stores in total, where did they get fifty for you?" Yan Shuangyu's voice became sharp, and it was difficult for her to maintain her calm demeanor.

Tang Jing, who had just felt a tinge of nostalgia for Liu Ruyu, turned pale again upon hearing this. He stared coldly at Tang Yi, hating him for taking advantage of the situation.

"Son, don't push your luck! Even if you sell all five shops, you'll make a lot of money!"

"Rebellious son? Haha, just for the title of Minister Tang, I must give you fifty shops or five thousand taels of silver today!"

Tang Yi sneered and said, "Of course, you can disagree, but I promise that as long as I'm alive, I will go to the palace gate today and kneel down to beg for an audience with His Majesty!"

"So, Minister Tang, I advise you to think carefully: is your future more important, or is your shop and money more important?"
