The reborn sycophant

Chapter 140 Murder on the Street

I can't hide it anymore.Steward Lin looked around, and said to Wei Chuyan with a bitter face: "It's not that something happened in the mansion, so the old servant has the courage to hide it from you. You just came back and haven't rested yet... .. Madam and Master can handle it now, and they probably don't want to bother you with this."

He has his difficulties and considerations.

Wei Chuyan said with a good temper: "It's okay, since you have something to do, just talk to me. I'm not very tired. Uncle Lin, you don't have to worry about me. On the contrary, it's because you keep it from telling me that it makes me think about it."

She said so, how could the old housekeeper have any reason to hide it from her?He sighed: "Oh! Speaking of which, it's really not our own business. It's Miss Tang Tang who had an accident."

"Uncle Lin, my father has recognized Tang Tang as his goddaughter. Since it is Tang Tang's business, it is also our own business. Tell me, what happened to her that made the house so nervous? Could it be that the general's house is also dealing with it?" no more?"

Tang Tang has often come to the mansion for the past two years, even though Wei Chuyan has not returned for two years, she has never changed, she has always been kind to Wei's parents from the beginning.Everyone can see whether people have intentions or not, and two years are enough to see whether they are sincere or not.To be honest, many loyal servants of the Wei Mansion couldn't understand the idea of ​​Mrs. Madam accepting her as a daughter at first, but after two years, many people were convinced and sincerely liked Tang Tang.Therefore, the butler, Uncle Lin, did not refute the young lady's words. He stood in the middle of the road and explained to the young lady in detail: "It's not her sister who made trouble. The person who said that her own sister married is a philanderer, and belongs to the Liu family." Miss, she often goes in and out of flower houses. Last month, she brought a pregnant young lady back to the mansion. Her younger sister is also pregnant with a child. I don’t know if she was angry or calculated. After a few days, I heard that the child had been aborted. How could Ms. Tang bear such a tone? She took a group of people to the street, stopped the sedan chair of Liu's mansion aggressively, grabbed the horsewhip in the street, and whipped Liu's surname severely. Meal."

Wei Chuyan pondered and said: "This is something Tang Tang can do." It was a violent temper, and you can't usually see it, but when she was in the brothel last time, she was able to spend huge sums of money to marry Liu Miaomiao for her younger sister. Angry, now that the Liu family has caused such a scandal, she doesn't look like her if she doesn't act.

"However, since the Liu family made mistakes first, they don't have the face to trouble my god-sister, right? Besides, Old General Tang is not weak. Even if the Liu family has the cheek to come to the door, they shouldn't be unable to deal with it and make you worry. Like this?"

"Miss said yes. It was nothing at first, that Liu Miaomiao should be smoked! But the problem is that Liu Miaomiao couldn't help being beaten. After such a meal, he vomited blood and died that night." A few sticks were dropped: "What kind of fig leaf does the Liu family care about now? They carried the corpse to the Tang Mansion that night to ask for an explanation. Old General Tang couldn't help it, and Miss Tang stubbornly refused to admit her mistake. It was very difficult for the Tang Mansion to protect her." She, the Liu family is going to make a fuss at Dali Temple, and when the news reaches Master, he and Madam will be in a hurry, and they have been working on this matter for the past two days."

After Wei Chuyan heard this, he was a little surprised.She used to hear

The most important thing is General Tang's heroic deeds against the Huns. I don't know that she had such a period when she was young, but since she can still go to the army later, even if there is this hurdle, she can still overcome it.

She just stood there without speaking, with a cold expression on her face. Seeing the old housekeeper, she persuaded again: "Master and the others went out this morning, so it stands to reason that they will be back soon. Miss, you just came back, so there is no need to worry too much about it." Worry, you have been away from Chang'an for a long time, how can you help me here?"

But he didn't know that if Wei Chuyan wanted to help, it would really help.

Wei Chuyan pointed at those people who were walking around the mansion, and asked: "Then what about them? How did they get here?"

"These are all Miss Tang's private guards. The Liu family became ruthless. They couldn't move Miss Tang for a while, so they attacked the attendants who appeared on the street with her that day. These lives are worthless, and the Tang family also intended to abandon them to appease the Liu family's anger. But Miss Tang refused, and quietly asked the master to take them back to the mansion. It happened that there was a shortage of people in our mansion, so the lady said, "If you don't want to accept them, let's accept them. When Miss Tang's matter is over, I will send them back to her." Yes. After all, you are still in command of the Northern Army, no matter how upset the Liu family is, you will not run away as an important person in our house."

"For a worthless descendant, the Liu family is so crazy? Even innocent people are involved?" Wei Chuyan is not very impressed with the Liu family. I am afraid that the Tang and Liu families had a fight in the past, and the Liu family did not win. , was silent, so she was also very unfamiliar with Liu Miaomiao that Yang Jia and the others mentioned that day.

Oh, if this happened, then Liu Miaomiao would have died long ago, and she would not have heard of it.

Wei Chuyan couldn't help but think about it. Could it be that Tang Tang joined the army in his previous life, and there was also a shadow of this incident?Did she join the army to avoid the Liu family, or did she go to the border to make meritorious service because of her guilt?

Counting the time, Tang Tang should have gone to the military camp at about this age, so it is really not impossible.

"Hey, why is Liu Miaomiao the only one in the Liu family? Old Mrs. Liu is an idiot and protects her granddaughter everywhere, otherwise she is so incompetent, she should have been restrained long ago, and she wouldn't have ended up like this. Now The two residences of Tang and Liu are still dealing with each other. After all, Liu Miaomiao still has blood, otherwise the Liu family would not have gone to the Tang residence on the night she died, but would have filed a lawsuit against the imperial court. But the situation at this time is not good, if It's not that the Tang government is not willing to give up Miss Tang, and we are running around again, the matter has already reached the Dali Temple."

No wonder!Killing the only seedling in someone else's house is a death feud!Wei Chuyan immediately turned his head and walked out of the mansion: "Uncle Lin, you ask the boy to lead me a horse, and I will go for a walk. If my father and the others come back suddenly, let them stay in the mansion and wait for me." information."

"Hey, good! Slow down, miss, it's slippery after it rained!"

"It's okay." After a while, Wei Chuyan had gone a long way, and the clear and soft voice came over with the wind, carrying a strange magical power that could make people calm, and the old housekeeper dispelled many worries.

At the same time when Wei Chuyan stepped out of the mansion, the emperor who had descended from court also heard the news from the guards sent to protect the parents of the Wei family. These people were not incompetent, but Li Yuan and his wife were also very protective of this. They followed for a few days before confirming the news, and rushed back to the palace to report.

"The subordinates were ordered to guard the Wei Mansion. Although Tang Tang is related to the Wei Mansion, Tang Tang belongs to the Tang family after all. We sent people near the Wei Mansion, but we didn't expect something to happen to Tang Tang. Now I can't make up my mind, so I boldly come here to ask His Majesty for instructions, I don't know if we should help Mrs. Wei and the others calm down the matter, or continue to stand on the sidelines?"

After returning to the palace, he naturally changed back to the attire of the royal guards. The little commander who had been silently protecting the parents of the Wei family outside the palace for the past two years knelt under Zhao Ji's soap boots and asked respectfully with some doubts.

Zhao Ji stood in the imperial study with his hands behind his back, his childish face completely faded, and a trace of solemnity flashed across his face.

This is a bit tricky.

Both the Tang and Liu families were at fault, and the Liu family was at the top of the list. Originally, the Tang family was very reasonable, but the worst thing was that Tang Tang beat Liu Miaomiao to death. Wearing a single seedling, Liu Fu has not worked hard at this moment, which is far beyond Zhao Ji's expectation.

As an emperor, she must deal with these things in a bowl of water.Although it is not impossible for her to have personal likes and dislikes, but she can help Wei's family for Wei Chuyan, if she falls for her god-in-law without principle, this will be too biased.

As soon as this precedent is established, the ruling and opposition parties will definitely think that the little emperor is a fatuous person, not to mention being criticized, and will easily promote the phenomenon of forming cliques. Seeing that the Tang family can get such benefits by being attached to the Wei family, officials can become emperor again. By default, the Wei family can protect the Tang family, so it is possible for them to take shelter of other high-ranking officials in the court, or simply follow the Tang family to please the Wei family.

So Zhao Ji is also very difficult to do.

"You guys go back first, as long as you protect the parents of the Wei family as before. You can't meddle in the affairs of the Wei family on weekdays. At most, you can help in the business, and don't worry about the rest."

Zhao Ji walked from one end of the study to the other, weighing carefully, and after a few back and forth, he gave them an order, and the guards received the order and left respectfully.

Zhao Ji now only hopes that the Tang family will be smarter and appease the Liu family, otherwise, if the matter is asked to the Wei family's parents, it will become a matter of Wei Chuyan in disguise.

Can she really stand by and watch Wei Chuyan's matter?

"Even if you want me to help, you have to give me a better reason." Zhao Ji walked around the purple gold incense burner that was emitting green smoke, rubbing the center of his brows, said something softly, and sat back at the table to read the brochure.

The major corruption case in Tongzhou has not yet been settled. If this kind of entanglement caused by the conflict of emotions had not involved Wei Chuyan, how could it be worthy of the emperor's concern?

Zhao Ji flipped through it a few times, then put down the booklet and pen, staring blankly at the mountain of notebooks on the table.She only dragged on for a few days, and the papers of the corruption case had increased to a terrifying level. Although she had a constitution in her heart, she still couldn't help feeling irritated when she read the different words in the several papers.

Those who are worried about the people of Tongzhou can be skipped, these are all people who come to her to seek favor and flatter, so don't worry about it.Those who mentioned the treatment method can be kept, but unfortunately, there is little significance for reference.As for the very few papers that she picked out and put aside, two of them boldly impeached the governor of Tongzhou and attached some vague lists, which are very useful. Zhao Ji had corruption in the first place. The list of officials involved in the case, compared with the two, is a bit real. Therefore, she has a good impression of the official. After a search, she found out that it was a sixth-rank Zhan who had just been promoted from Tongzhou. Her family knew her own affairs. Tongzhou is full of smog, finally someone dares to tell the truth, she plans to summon him tomorrow to ask about the situation.

As for those who were vaguely justifying the corruption case, Zhao Ji also wrote down them one by one, and left them for future liquidation.

But she also understands that this may not be settled.The Qi Dynasty has come to the present, and while it is prosperous, it also hides some hidden worries. There are one princes and kings, one is the Huns in the frontier fortress, and another is the entangled factions in the court.She didn't want to help Tang Tang blatantly before, because she knew that there were many factions in the court, but those people only dared to walk in the dark, and didn't dare to reach out too much in the open, and if she started, the situation would be different , this is a very troublesome thing.

This time, these officials who spoke for the Tongzhou corruption case may not have participated in the corruption themselves, but maybe

The relationship with those people is a master-student relationship, a husband-in-law relationship, and other things.There are even those that are completely irrelevant. If a colleague comes to their house with a heavy gift, will they accept it or not?

The relationship among these needs to be clarified in detail.
