The eldest son is fierce

When Tang Jing saw Tang Yi's provocative expression, his heart suddenly went cold.

Seeing Tang Yi about to leave, he raised his hand and pulled Tang Yi back, shouting angrily: "Tang Yi, what are you doing again?!"

Tang Yi raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said, "Guess, there's a prize if you guess right."

Tang Jing looked at Tang Yi's nonchalant look, his anger almost swallowed him up, and he almost couldn't help but punch Tang Yi in the face!

Guess? Guess you...

He wanted to curse, but when he remembered that he was Tang Yi's father, he held back.

He could only twist Tang Yi's collar, his face ferocious and terrifying as he said, "Tang Yi, I'm warning you, Qi'er is all the hope of our Tang family. If you dare to touch him, I will fight you to the death!"

"I mean what I say. If you don't believe me, try it!"

As a result, when Tang Yi heard this, the mockery on his face became even stronger.

Fighting with me? Are you worthy?

"The future of the Tang family, if you mean the likes of Tang Hua and Tang Qi, is doomed."

"Tang Jing, you're desperately trying to prove to the world that you're not wrong and that the child you've raised is truly amazing."

"But, old man, you are only deceiving yourself. You will soon find out that you have been nothing but a joke from the beginning to the end!"

Tang Yi raised his hand and tapped Tang Jing's chest, which made Tang Jing feel uneasy.

His face turned pale and blue, and he wanted to refute and scold, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say a word.

Is he a joke? No, how could he be a joke?

How glorious it is for him to rise from nothing to be above everyone else? How could this be a joke!

If we talk about jokes, Tang Yi is the biggest joke in his life. He disregards the honor and disgrace of his family and is unfilial to his parents and ancestors. He, Tang Yi, is a joke.

But never mind, the joke will be over soon.

"Take care of yourself. I'm waiting to see what happens to you!"

However, Tang Yi was too lazy to talk nonsense with him anymore. He simply shook off Tang Jing's hand and turned to go into the mansion.

In order to punish Tang Jing, the dog emperor made him work as a handyman in Jingzhao Prefecture. This was an imperial decree, and without the decree, Tang Jing would never be able to leave Jingzhao Prefecture.

But Tang Yi thought that he should find an opportunity to let the dog emperor take back his decision. This was not a punishment for Tang Jing, it was clearly a punishment for him.

It's like having a pile of dog shit next to you. Do you think it's disgusting?

"Your humble servant greets you, sir."

As soon as he stepped into the gate of the mansion, the magistrate of Sicheng County, who had been waiting inside, immediately stood up and saluted.

"Please take a seat, everyone. I'm sorry I was delayed by something and kept you waiting."

Tang Yi felt a little embarrassed. Yesterday, Tang Yi asked someone to call them in to report on their work, but he got obsessed with practicing martial arts and fought a decisive battle with Du Lingfei all night, which resulted in him being late for a full two hours.

"I dare not. It is an honor for us that Your Excellency takes time out of his busy schedule to meet with us." The four of them nodded and bowed, not daring to sit down.

But they knew how outrageous the young man in front of them was. He even wiped out the royal family. The *** and the Prime Minister's party suffered heavy losses. Now he called them over but didn't say what was going on. How could they not panic?

Very panicked!

If their past deeds were exposed, wouldn't they be sentenced to death in minutes?

Tang Yi, however, was very casual. He sat down on the main seat with his legs crossed, poured himself a cup of tea, and said, "By the way, I heard that you have connections with all the major families in Kyoto?"

thump!

The four county magistrates' legs went weak and they fell to their knees on the ground.

All of them were pale and sweating profusely.

As expected, they came to settle the score with us. They helped a lot when the wealthy families in Kyoto bought back the grain from the market.

"Sir, I know I was wrong. Please spare my life!"

"Sir, I am loyal to you and will follow your lead. I have no second thoughts!"

"My Lord, I was forced and threatened. Your Majesty, please understand..."

"..."

Tang Yi nearly spit out his tea. "I haven't even used my ultimate move yet, and you've already done it all!"

According to the normal script, shouldn't you struggle for a while, and then I will produce evidence and confess?

He immediately put on a stern face and glanced coldly at the four people kneeling on the ground. The four county magistrates were so scared that they trembled all over and their heads almost touched the ground.

"Su Mingcheng, the magistrate of Dongcheng County, right?"

Tang Yi looked at the Dongcheng County Magistrate who was kneeling in the front and said, "Tell me about the situation in Dongcheng!"

Su Mingcheng immediately realized that this was a test from Tang Yi. The answer was related to his life and future, so how could he dare to hope for luck?

He immediately said, "Your Excellency, Dongcheng is the richest county in the entire capital. Due to its proximity to the imperial city, most of the residents here are either wealthy or noble."

"This place is easy to govern, but also very difficult to govern, because behind every troublemaker there might be a master whom I cannot afford to offend."

"Also, although Dongcheng County is wealthy, its tax revenue is far lower than that of the three cities in the north, south, and west. The reason for this is... that officials in the imperial court are exempt from paying taxes, so many of their families follow suit and evade taxes..."

"..."

Su Mingcheng explained Dongcheng's problems in detail.

After Tang Yi heard this, his expression looked a little better.

Fortunately, I am not a fool. I see the problem thoroughly and have solutions to it, but I lack the determination to solve it.

Of course, this cannot be blamed on him. Determination is linked to ability and background. Although this guy has some ability, his background is not good. It is obviously unrealistic to ask a seventh-rank county magistrate to confront those high-ranking officials in Dongcheng.

But, we still have to strike when we need to strike!

"Hey, don't talk so badly. Dongcheng isn't as bad as you think."

Tang Yi tapped the table lightly, staring at Su Mingcheng who was kneeling on the ground and said, "You didn't mention the biggest advantage! For example, making money."

"You've been the magistrate of Dongcheng County for three years, right? How much money have you made?"

Su Mingcheng was so frightened that he was stunned on the spot.

He didn't refute anything, but banged his head heavily on the ground and said, "Your subordinate deserves death. I will go back immediately to count all the bribes I received and hand them all over."

Tang Yi has the Jinyiwei under his command, and the Jinyiwei can always catch such people accurately when investigating such matters.

It is better to take responsibility for everything yourself than to wait for the Jinyiwei to come and search your house and destroy your family.

Tang Yi stood up, walked to Su Mingcheng, and said, "Nancheng needs money for disaster relief. Is it okay to sell your 300 acres of land in Nanshan and donate it to Nanshan disaster relief in the name of your old lady?"

Su Mingcheng immediately broke out in a sweat. Sure enough, the young man in front of him had already figured out their situation.

He nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, I will go back and execute it immediately."

Tang Yi stared down at Su Mingcheng and said, "As for the governance of East City, the relevant strategies will be passed down to the East City County Government. You will be responsible for cooperating with Liu Shaoyin and Wu Chong to implement them."

"If you do it well, it will be counted as your political achievement."

"If it goes wrong, I'll take the blame."

"But if you dare to disobey, you should know the consequences!"

Su Mingcheng was overjoyed when he heard this. He originally thought that he was doomed this time, either beheaded or exiled, and he just wanted to take on everything himself and not bring trouble to his family.

But he didn't expect that Tang Yi would spare his life and let him continue to serve as the magistrate of Dongcheng County.

"Yes, yes, I will follow your orders and fully cooperate with Master Liu and Master Wu in governing East City."

Tang Yi snorted softly, indicating that he heard it.

Then, his eyes fell on the other three people.

"What about you? What do you say?"
