In the imperial study, Emperor Chen was also stunned, looked at the county lord of Anyang, and said, "What is going on, you tell me slowly......"

Anyang is mature and sensible, and she is also deeply loved by the Queen Mother, although she is the county lord, but Emperor Chen treats her better than ordinary princesses.

The county lord of Anyang wiped away his tears, his voice choked slightly, and said: "Someone has spoken foul language to Anyang, not only wants to beat Anyang, but also insults the royal ......."

Emperor Chen's face sank and said, "Who is so bold!" ”

The county lord of Anyang pointed to Zhao Guogong and said: "It is Zhou Qing, the son of Zhao Guogong, who not only instructed his subordinates to beat us, but also said that he would punish the nine clans of Anyang......

Zhao Guogong stood on the hall, and the cold sweat came down, and his back was also soaked with sweat.

It's just enough to insult the county lord, punish her nine clans, isn't that to destroy the royal family, isn't it a rebellion?

The Zhou family can't afford such a charge.

He knelt down with a puff and said urgently: "Your Majesty Mingjian, my son will never say such a rebellious word, county lord, you can't slander my son like this!" ”

The county lord of Anyang wiped his tears, lowered his head and said: "He instructed his subordinates to whip us at that time, and he also said a lot of ugly words, I vaguely remember such a sentence......"

Zhou Wu's body trembled, and what the county lord of Anyang said was plausible, so he couldn't refute it, "vaguely remember", this is a crime that wants to be added......

Emperor Chen looked at Zhou Wu and said, "The good son taught by my uncle......"

Zhou Wu didn't dare to explain at all, his expression was terrified, he knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "The minister has no way to teach the son, and the minister is guilty......"

Emperor Chen waved his hand and said: "For the sake of the Queen Mother's face, I won't care about this matter with him, you go back and discipline him more, if you commit it again, I will not spare it!" ”

Zhou Wu knelt down and said: "The minister obeys the order......"

Zhao Guogong panicked and retreated, Tang Ning glanced at the county lord of Anyang, the events of the day were obviously not as the county lord of Anyang said.

According to what she said, after Tang Shui fought with those people, she hid to the side, and Zhou Qing, who came later, didn't see her at all, otherwise, how could he give the county lord of Anyang some face.

As for Tang Shui, the Tang family has fallen to this point, and the Jingshi Witch has also become a thing of the past, but it has not been taken into account by Zhou Qing.

Emperor Chen looked at the county lord of Anyang and said, "Although Zhou Qing offended you, he was also punished, so let's stop this matter." ”

The county lord of Anyang said obediently: "Listen to the emperor's uncle." ”

Emperor Chen nodded and said, "Anyang go down first, Tang Ning stays." ”

The county lord of Anyang glanced at Tang Ning, turned around and walked out of the imperial study, Tang Ning stood in the hall, waiting for Emperor Chen to speak.

Emperor Chen paced in the hall and said: "The imperial court wants to send troops to help the countries of the Western Regions and resist Xiaowan, the actions of those people in the capital should indeed stop, I thought about it, and I think what you and King Huai said makes sense, my Chen country is a state of etiquette, and I can't follow the barbarians, from now on, it is strictly forbidden for them to kidnap the people of the Western Regions and return to Beijing to sell ......."

Tang Ning arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty is wise." ”

The Western Regions are very large, Xiao Wan is the most dangerous place for those people, they go to the Western Regions, they don't care which country it is, just like robbers, they rob people when they see them, and now Chen Guo and many small countries in the Western Regions have reached a cooperative relationship, and if they continue like this, it will cause dissatisfaction among their allies.

This is also the reason why there are so many people in the court who support him and King Huai.

Emperor Chen asked his opinion on several major events that had happened in the DPRK and China recently, and it didn't take long for him to feel a little sleepy, and he waved his hand to signal that Tang Ning could go.

King Kang's rebellion, the blow to Chen Guo is really not small, he used to review the chapter, talk about state affairs, as if tireless, now the whole person looks a little haggard, a lot of age in a short period of time.

Tang Ning walked out of the imperial study, and the county lord of Anyang stood in front waiting for him.

When she saw Tang Ning coming over, she raised her eyebrows and asked, "How is it?" ”

"Perfect." Tang Ning nodded, convinced by her acting skills just now. If he hadn't known in advance, I'm afraid even he would have believed her nonsense.

The county lord of Anyang said: "Is this the only way?" ”

Tang Ning thought for a while and said, "The 10,000 taels of silver, you don't have to pay it back." ”

Although the acting skills of the county lord of Anyang just now were impeccable, in just a few minutes of performance, there was a remuneration of 10,000 taels, which was definitely worthy of the tears she shed just now.

10,000 taels of silver can solve the urgent need, but after all, it will be spent, the county lord of Anyang has seen his rich appearance today, if he can be like Tang Shui to her, won't she never worry about silver in the future?

What a wonderful thing that is.

The county lord of Anyang showed a warm smile on his face, and said: "If it weren't for me today, Zhao Guogong's affairs would have been suffered by you, you see, calling me a sister wouldn't be so bad, right?" ”

Tang Ning heard it a little, the county lord of Anyang was not satisfied with the 10,000 taels of silver at all, she wanted more 10,000 taels.

If he really recognized this sister, Tang Fairy would definitely not let him go, of course, Tang Ning himself was not willing to be this wronged leader.

He shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I can only have one sister......"

The county lord of Anyang looked at him and said angrily: "Where am I not as good as water?" ”

Tang Ning thought for a while and said, "She's still my fiancée, you're not ......"

The county lord of Anyang looked at Tang Ning who was leaving, and his chest rose and fell.

Although she wanted silver, she didn't want to put herself in it for the silver, so she glared angrily at the direction Tang Ning left, gritted her teeth and said, "What a bastard thing." ”

……

Zhou family.

Zhou Wu returned home, walked to Zhou Qing's bed, and said angrily: "You insulted the county lord of Anyang that day? ”

Zhou Qing looked innocent and said, "I didn't see her at all that day!" ”

Zhou Wudao: "She was in the palace just now, saying that you spoke foul language to her, and you wanted to punish her nine clans." ”

Zhou Qing's body trembled, and he said loudly: "She is slandering, I didn't see her at all that day, let alone say those words, at that time, there was only the woman of the Tang family, and the Tang family is now gone, so I let them do it with him......"

"In that case, why did the county lord of Anyang excuse him?" Zhou Wu looked suspicious and muttered, "Could it be that they got together?" ”

Zhou Qing looked at him and asked, "Dad, is the imperial court really not letting us go to the Western Regions to arrest people, what about those people who have been arrested?" ”

Zhou Wu's face showed unwillingness, and said, "Let's move them to another place first......

Snatching slaves from the Western Regions and selling them to the magnates in Beijing was the Zhou family's greatest source of wealth, and in the process, they also had to take risks.

The Western Regions is vast and sparsely populated, and only a hundred people are needed to form a force that is not weak, and these more than 100 people are enough to deal with a small country with a small population, but a big country like Xiao Wan is not so easy to provoke, and if one is not careful, there is even a danger of annihilation.

When Zhou Wu was depressed, someone came to report, and several powerful people in Beijing visited.
