“…… Cai Jing and the new emperor want to work against you, so they start asking Wu Desi to collect evidence of your crimes. And the fact that you funded the Jurchen Wanyan Department and secretly let go of Li Qiande's son and Li Jingcheng may become evidence against you.

Whatever your purpose, you are the one who was able to let the villain bury his grandmother in the first place, and you are the one who was able to free the villain from his teeth.

The villain owes you a life, so take the disappearance of these two pieces of evidence to repay your kindness! ”

For the next half of the letter, Tang Ning couldn't bear to read it any further. The remaining half of the letter was stained with blood and tears on the paper, and the wrinkles formed after the moisture had evaporated.

However, in addition to these, there are four other words that seem unsightly compared to the previous handwriting.

"I failed."

Tang Ning felt that his hands were trembling, no wonder when he saw Wu Sheng again, he only felt that this name was familiar, but he couldn't remember who he was.

It turned out to be you......

Gently placing the letter on the table, Tang Ning covered his face with his hands, unable to see the expression of the face behind his hands.

In the past, when Tang Ning was in the study, the family didn't take it seriously, and whoever wanted to enter would come in directly.

But Tang Ning's performance during this period was too weird, so that no one dared to come in and disturb him.

Tao Fugui was fidgeting and drinking tea on the side, he only rushed back to Runzhou at noon today, and after handing over the letter to Tang Ning, he saw that Tang Ning's already haggard face became even more gray.

Now that Tang Ning was covering his face with his hands again, he was a little scared. He didn't dare to read the contents of the letter, the man who was already dead he wanted to bring back, but the body was about to decompose halfway through.

There was no way, he had to cremate the man and put the ashes in a box for Tangning to bring back.

He didn't know if what he was doing was right or wrong, maybe he shouldn't have brought the letter back in the first place?

Tao Fugui, who didn't dare to speak, could only drink tea vigorously, and the only thing left in the entire study was the sizzling sound he made when he drank tea.

"Good work." After a long time, Tang Ning showed his head and said, "Go, go outside." Enjoy, today is a good day. ”

Tao Fugui hesitated for a moment and asked, "Master Hou, are you okay?" Your complexion is not very good, it has been cold recently, are you infected with wind cold? ”

"It's fine." Tang Ning shook his head: "I'll go out immediately." ”

Tang Ning did not deny the title of Hou Ye, because Zhao Ji did not go to his title at all.

Although Cai Jing thinks that cutting grass must be eradicated, and Tang Ning's initiative to resign is certainly a surprise, what they want to do is to control the Zhenguo Army and let Tang Ning never turn over.

The first one they did, Zhao Yan is one

A man who will never betray. But on the second one, Zhao Ji's thoughts are slightly different from Cai Jing's.

Zhao Ji thinks that as long as Tang Ning no longer comes into contact with real power, it is not a big deal to give him some sweetness. After all, Tang Ning has served the country for so many years, and there is no merit, and there is hard work.

I rashly took his title, what do the people of the world think? What do the soldiers who followed him from birth to death think? Besides, it's only been how long I've been on the throne, and my ass hasn't been hot!

Therefore, Zhao Ji ignored Cai Jing's dissuasion and retained Tang Ning's title, but removed all Tang Ning's official titles.

This move was appreciated by Zhao Ji, who told Zhao Ji that Tang Ning had a lot of prestige in the Zhenguo army, and some veterans were puzzled when they learned the news of his resignation.

If you take away his title again, those veterans will definitely think that you are stumbling on him, and they will definitely be very dissatisfied in their hearts.

However, Tang Ning didn't care about this, the marquis or not the marquis had no effect on himself. He is not a person who covets power, he is still happy to become an ordinary person again, and with the title of a marquis, Tang Ning's heart is always thinking about the unfinished business.

Tao Fugui looked at Tang Ning, got up to say goodbye, went out, and whispered with a few shopkeepers who were waiting for the letter outside: "Why is Master Hou like this now?" What's going on at home? ”

"Who knows?" A shopkeeper spread his hands, and he was also puzzled: "Master Hou is not a person who is greedy for power, and he also took the initiative to resign."

When I was in Tokyo City, I was fine, but when I returned to Runzhou, it became like this. I asked Madame, and Madame said she didn't know what was going on......"

"Alas, everyone is doing things for Master Hou. If something happens to Hou Ye, we should solve problems for Hou Ye. Another shopkeeper played with a string of Buddhist beads in his hand and said, "But we don't even know why the Hou Ye is like this now, alas, ......"

While a few people were talking, Tang Ning walked out of the study.

Seeing Tang Ning come out, several people began to wink at each other, as if they wanted to find an agent to come forward and ask Tang Ning what was wrong.

Tao Fugui shook his head, saying that he had just come out of it, and it was inevitable that it would be a little inappropriate to ask again.

At this time, the workshop shopkeeper who has been doing things locally in Runzhou stood up.

Winemaking workshops have always been one of the main industries of the Tang family, and in this era when literati and artists were leading the way, baijiu was even as good as a luxury in later generations.

And after so many years of development, the craftsmen in the workshop have also developed some other varieties of wine.

The taste is unique and mellow. Several of them have only been put on the market and are highly sought after. There are also several kinds of fruit wine, which are also loved by women.

Several different wines attacked at the same time, and now Runzhou has become a person who is addicted to alcohol

The existence of a holy place in the mind. Almost every day, people from other places come to Runzhou to see the style of the wine country.

It can be said that Downing now has such a solid family foundation, and the winemaking workshop has contributed a lot. As the shopkeeper of the brewing workshop, Zhang Jun's status in the family has always been not low.

However, this person is usually relatively humble, which is why he has been able to do this position for more than ten years. Humble people are always the most loved by leaders, even the relationship between Zhao Ji and Tang Ning.

If it weren't for Tang Ning's disobedience to him outside Ruzhou City, Zhao Ji would not want to give up this number one thug from the bottom of his heart.

The way of the emperor is parallel in Enwei. Calling Tang Ning back is at most to find a reason to send him to prison for a while, and then he can be reinstated, and even he can be crowned a pillar again.

But Downing doesn't seem to be in this mood, so forget it. It is also a good result to get together and disperse. Zhao Ji didn't want to purge the people left by the first emperor after only a month or two of his succession, which would not have a good impact.

"Master Hou, you seem to be looking very bad lately, but what's bothering?" Zhang Jun is fifty or sixty years old, and he is not a simple subordinate to Tang Ning, from a certain part of his heart, he also regards Tang Ning as a junior.

"If there's something bothering you, you might as well talk to the villain. Even if the villain can't help much, he can share some of it for you. ”

A smile appeared on Tang Ning's face, which was an empty and fake smile, which is also the saying that the skin is not smiling.

But he tried hard to show his sincerity, which was self-defeating, and the incongruity in his smile was even more obvious.

"Thank you Uncle Zhang for your concern, I'm fine. It's just that you're feeling a little unwell these days, which makes you worried. After Tang Ning finished speaking, he didn't wait for Zhang Jun to continue speaking, and then said: "Okay, don't get here and whisper."

There's so much food and fun out there, what are you guys doing here?

Today, Mrs. specially prepared a pitcher, I heard that the prize is very rich, let's go, let's go and see. ”

Tang Ning didn't want to say more, and a few people didn't want to ask again. After leading everyone to the place where the pot was thrown, Tang Ning left directly.

The lively atmosphere in the house seemed to be out of place with him, and he found Wang Shi and whispered in her ear: "I'll go out for a walk." So saying, he put on his clothes, and went to the stable and led a horse out of the house.

Qi Fu did not return, so Lin Wei could only follow. But before he could go out, he was stopped by Pei Xiantong who came out of nowhere.

snatched the horse in his hand, chased Tang Ning's back and snorted.

Seeing this, Lin Wei went back to do his own thing. Pei Xiantong's ability is much higher than herself, and with her to protect Hou Ye, Hou Ye will definitely not have an accident.
