Chapter 805: Investigation
"I've seen the right minister." When the little official saw Tang Ning, he first saluted respectfully, then shook his head and said, "My subordinates don't know." ”
Tang Ning looked at the booklet in his hand, the expression on his face was incredulous.
When Aina mixed in with the women's martial arts, this person reminded him once.
He went to the grassland, and when Princess Yiyang was stirring up trouble in Beijing, this person also sent a letter to his family.
The day before King Kang's rebellion, this person sent a letter to remind him.
If it weren't for that letter, King Kang's rebellion would probably have been successful, and the situation in Jingshi would not be as stable as it is now.
Downing didn't know who was doing all this in secret, and his only impression of the man was that his handwriting was ugly.
Ugliness is also a characteristic, the imperial examination for handwriting requirements are extremely high, so the scholars are written with a good hand, not to mention the value of calligraphy, at least they write neatly.
This person's words are like a dog crawling, and like a handful of scattered straw, Tang Ning recognized it at a glance.
It's just that what surprised him was that in the past few days, he had reminded him many times that even the person who had revealed to him about King Kang's rebellion was actually from King Kang's mansion......
King Kang's Mansion came out with a two-five boy, which was something he never expected.
King Huai came over and asked, "Did you find anything?" ”
"Nothing." Downing smiled and put the book away.
King Huai noticed his movements, but he didn't say much, and turned and walked away.
Before King Kang's rebellion, there was almost nothing, and there was not much to find from King Kang's mansion, and after half an hour, the household officials had already counted it, and Tang Ning and King Huai left King Kang's mansion.
King Huai went back to the palace directly, but Tang Ning did not go home, nor did he go back to Shangshu Province, but went to the Criminal Department.
After King Kang's rebellion, all the subordinates of King Kang's Mansion were also taken down and temporarily detained in the prison of the Criminal Department.
Tang Ning borrowed a pen and paper from Song Yi, the secretary of the Criminal Department, drew a sketch of King Kang's Mansion, came to the prison of the Criminal Department, looked at a person from the palace, and asked, "Who lives in this courtyard of the palace?" ”
The man looked at him and said, "Yes, it's Mr. Xu......"
"It's him......" Tang Ning's eyes flashed a different color, and the figure of a middle-aged man appeared in his mind.
When King Kang was still a prince, there were countless advisers around him, and this Mr. Xu was one of them.
Tang Ning once investigated that the reason why King Kang was able to compete with Duanwang, who had the support of the Tang family, was that this Mr. Xu was a great contribution.
After King Kang was deprived of the prince's throne, the strategists around him were scattered, and only this Mr. Xu remained by his side.
Tang Ning originally thought that he was a staunch Kang Wang party and was about to help King Kang turn the tables, but he didn't expect that he wanted King Kang to overturn.
But if his purpose was only King Kang, his first two reminders to himself would not make sense......
Tang Ning asked a few more people from King Kang's mansion to confirm that the courtyard belonged to Mr. Xu, and then he walked out of the prison of the Criminal Department.
Song Yi walked over and asked, "What did Tang Xiang gain?" ”
Tang Ning looked at him and asked, "Mr. Xu, does Lord Song know about this person?" ”
Song Yi nodded and said: "This person is King Kang's number one strategist, we suspect that King Kang is plotting against him, that is, he is plotting behind his back, but when the Criminal Department went to the palace to arrest people, he did not see this person, and now his sea fishing documents have been sent to various state capitals, as long as he is in the territory of Chen State, he will definitely not be able to escape." ”
When Tang Ning walked out of the criminal department and returned home, he still couldn't figure out what the operation of the surnamed Xu was.
He helped King Kang rebel, but betrayed him at a critical moment, I don't know how King Kang would feel if he knew about it......
He stopped thinking about things that he couldn't figure out, looked at Song Yi, and said, "There's nothing to do, I'll go back first, I'll trouble Lord Song." ”
Song Yi arched his hand and said, "Tang Xiang walks slowly." ”
Downing walked into the courtyard, as if thinking of something, paused, and turned back.
Song Yi looked at him and asked, "What else is there to do with Tang Xiang?" ”
Tang Ning looked at him and said, "I want to check the file of a case, and I hope Lord Song will make it convenient." ”
"Tang Xiang is polite." Song Yi smiled and said, "What kind of case, I'll let people find it." ”
Tang Ning looked at him and said, "Twenty years ago, Tang Yu and his wife, how were they found......
In the vast Chen country, trying to find two people is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, and it is impossible without official intervention.
And if it is officially wanted, here in the Criminal Department, it will definitely leave traces.
Song Yi looked at him and said: "More than 20 years of things, I'm afraid it's not easy to investigate, at that time, this official was not the secretary of the Criminal Department, but Tang Xiang rest assured, I will let people look for it in a while, and if I find it, I will send it to the house immediately." ”
Tang Ning arched his hand and said, "Thank you, Lord Song." ”
"...... as it should be"
……
What happened back then, in the end, had something to do with him, and Tang Ning didn't want to be so confused all the time.
After pleasing Song Yi, he went home directly.
There was a carriage parked at the gate of the Tang Mansion, Tang Ning had seen it many times, this was the carriage of the county lord of Anyang, it should be Tang Shui.
Tang Ning came to the backyard and sure enough, he saw the two of them.
The county lord of Anyang glanced at him from a distance, and said in a strange manner: "Tang Xiang is here, Anyang has lost his welcome, and the prime minister is not strange......
This woman's grudge was still beyond Tang Ning's expectations, Tang Ning didn't bother to take care of her, walked to Tang Shui's side, looked back, and asked, "Is she inconvenient these days?" ”
Tang Ning wondered, "What's inconvenient?" ”
"Women, there will always be a few days when it is inconvenient to ......" Tang Ning glanced at the county lord of Anyang and said, "It's just that the heart is irritable, and the temper will turn bad for a few days......"
Tang Shui's face was slightly red, he glanced at him, and said, "There is no positive shape!" ”
Tang Ning waved his hand, no longer entangled in this matter, looked at her, and asked, "Have you seen Princess Fu?" ”
Tang Shui glanced at him and said, "Naturally, I've seen it." ”
Tang Ning asked, "Is Princess Fu beautiful?" ”
Tang Shui glanced at him and asked, "Why are you asking this?" ”
"I'm just curious." Tang Ning finally asked the doubts in his heart and said: "King Fu grew up like that, and the daughter he gave birth to was actually like a dog, she must have perfectly inherited the advantages of Princess Fu......"
Tang Shui shook his head and said, "When King Fu was young, it was not like this, it is said that when he was young, he was also a famous beautiful man in Jingshi......"
"Beautiful man, he?"
Tang Ning's face was stunned, even more shocked than when he learned that Mr. Xu had betrayed King Kang just now.
The title of "a famous beautiful man in Beijing" is not something that anyone can get, and no one calls him that, how can it be used to describe King Fu?
No matter how much Ren Tangning imagined, he couldn't connect King Fu with these three words.
"It's true, just ask." Tang Shui said: "It's just that something happened later that he became what he is now." ”
"What's the matter?" Downing looked at her, the fire of gossip burning in his chest.
Tang Shui shook his head and said, "I don't know, it's been more than twenty years, and I also heard about it by accident." ”
Tang Ning wanted to inquire a little more, but a maid asked them to come over for dinner.
The kitchen in this small courtyard is independent, and there are only the four of them who eat, and in normal times, Tang Ning and Tang Yu are the two people, and sometimes they will come over to accompany Su Ru.
Tang Ning sat at the table, his eyes casually flicked, swept over the wrist of the county lord of Anyang, and said in surprise: "Where did your bracelet come from?" ”
The county lord of Anyang glanced at him and said, "Can you take care of what my aunt gave me?" ”
Tang Ning looked at Tang Yu and asked, "Mother, why did you give her a bracelet?" ”
Tang Yu smiled and said, "If it weren't for the help of the county lord, I wouldn't have been able to see you, I should thank her." ”
"Listen to ......" The county lord of Anyang glanced at him and said, "Aunt is not like some people, and she will take revenge ......"
"This bracelet, you can't wear it indiscriminately......" Tang Ning originally wanted to say something, but in the end he just waved his hand and said, "Just give it away." ”
The county lord of Anyang looked at him and said angrily: "What kind of attitude do you have, you can wear it, why can't I wear it?" ”
Tang Ning didn't continue the topic, pointed to a lotus root on the table, and said, "You eat lotus root......"
