Step on a branch

Chapter 355
Tang Tzu rubbed his face vigorously.

Sitting on the twig, even if your feet are soft, you will not fall to the ground.

Although he still looks embarrassed, he still retains some official dignity.

"You live in Qiyang City," Tang Cho's voice became hoarse, "It's all because of these...it's the negligence of the lower officials..."

With a soft laugh, the eldest princess said: "Know the current affairs and save me from wasting more time."

Tang Cho sighed.

He was really deceived by Princess Pingyang.

Of course, did the eldest princess lie to him?

She said that Marquis Yongning dared not do anything to her.

This is no longer true.

These two parties are originally the same people.

To be honest, Tang Zhao told the whole story of Qiyang Mansion's concealment in the past few years.

Qiyang's mines are extremely rich, even after so many years of mining, there is no sign of exhaustion, and even, as the eldest princess said, they have dug new mines one after another in the past few years.

A large amount of manpower was invested in mining, and the concealed part was sold for various purposes, and all the money entered the Yan family's treasury.

Tang Chou, He Shiye and others are naturally beneficial as participants.

And the Yan family treated the miners fairly well. They could eat enough and save some wages. No matter men or women, as long as they could get a job, they all wanted to work in the mines.

Earn money together, even if it is only a small amount, no one will jump out and go to the capital to report more money to Qiyang mines.

"How the Yan family sold it and where it was sold to, the officials don't know about it," Tang Thou said honestly, "The officials only take their share."

After hearing this, Lin Fan said, "You don't know, and the person you brought should not know either."

"I don't know," Tang Tuo hurriedly said, "The Yan family has been in the mining business since the previous dynasty, and it's all their own way. How can they tell us outsiders."

"Then I have to find out about Yan's family," Lin Fan said, taking a step forward and pulling Tang Cho up from the chair, "Master Tang, is it convenient for you to guide me?"

Tang Cho's feet were trembling, and he almost lost his footing.

Is it convenient or inconvenient for him to take his turn here?
So much information has been spat out, and it doesn't make any sense to shut up.

"What are you going to do?" Tang Zhao asked.

It's okay to just lead the way, but I'm afraid that if you use him to clear the way, you will lose your head by leading the way.

Fellow Daoist died, and so did Pindao, but Pindao died unhappy and was tortured...

That's too bad!
Lin Fan clasped Tang Cho's shoulders and led him a few steps into the big tent.

Only then did Tang Cho realize that on the shelf behind Yongninghou, there was a map hanging on the shelf, which was the topographic map of their Qiyang Mansion.

"Please prefect Tang point out the location of the new mine," Lin Fan said.

Tang Cho raised his hand, his arms trembling, and clicked on the map a few times.

Lin Fan made a note, signaled with the eldest princess and others, uncovered the map and went out.

Outside the tent, Fang Tian and Yan Yue are waiting.

Lin Fan showed the map to the two of them, and said, "According to Tang Cho's explanation, this is the nearest one. Go and have a look at it from a distance. As long as you are sure that someone is mining, come back immediately. Don't startle the snake."

The two took their orders.

Lin Fan went back to the big tent and asked Tang Cho to sit down on the twig again.

"The subordinates are not familiar with Qi Yang's terrain, so it may take some effort, Mr. Tang, please sit down and rest."

Neither should Tang Tuo, nor should he.

Sitting is sitting, but it feels like sitting on pins and needles.

The Eldest Princess was in a great mood. She took the vegetable soup, scraped the surface with a spoon, and blew on it.

After taking a sip, she said: "It's still the taste in my memory. After eating so many delicacies from mountains and seas, this bowl of vegetable soup is still the most appetizing."

Spoon after spoon, she said again: "I feel cold towards the Empress Dowager, but there is a saying, she is right.

The grilled fish that I miss the most in this life was made by my father himself. I caught it from the river, washed it, and roasted it on the fire until it was burnt. "

There is no doubt that the phrase "chilling" is a clear and clear position.

Feng Zhong didn't understand the situation at first, but after listening to Tang Cho explain the problem, he now understands it.

The Yan family made a big deal in Qiyang.

The empress dowager and Fuguo government in the capital should not know about it, but they are all named Yan, so it is not clean to shirk this matter.

When it was getting dark, Fang Tian and Yan Yue came back.

They didn't go directly to Tang Tiaozhi's mine, but detoured to a nearby mountain.

Looking from a distance, it is indeed a mine tunnel, and some houses have been built outside to accommodate supervisors and miners. Judging from the scale, this mine vein is not small.

After hearing this, Marquis Yongning signaled Marquis Anbei and Feng Zhong to go aside, and cupped his hands: "To tell the truth, the Yan family's move is selfish. If we let it go today, we will report it to the imperial court and Beijing and then send people to investigate. I'm afraid there is no evidence."

This is true.

An Beihou also knew that the only time to get stolen goods is now.

However, once you attack the Yan family, there will be no "point to end", and you need to score with the empress dowager or even the emperor.

Both he and General Feng were riding a tiger.

Feng Zhong also thought so.

As a veteran of the Great Zhou, he fought with the late Emperor, of course he has Great Zhou in his heart.

He didn't want to see the change of dynasty.

But he couldn't bear to sit and watch Qin and Lin's family be driven to a dead end.

Just as Feng Zhong was about to say this, Marquis Anbei stopped him.

"Old Lord," Anbeihou said in a low voice, "I am a junior, I have the audacity to ask, although the emperor has something to do with you, but the eldest princess..."

The position of the eldest princess is too strange.

That bowl of vegetable soup, those words of remembering the late emperor and King Wu, the eldest princess concealed her disappointment from the Yan family, but the emperor was always her own younger brother.

He is closer than any boy surnamed Zhao in the clan.

"Since I have made up my mind to do it carefully," An Beihou gritted his teeth, "I have to give us an explanation, and I will say something harsh. Your relatives, Lord Ding, and Duke Ding's mother have all left the capital. , you have no worries, but General Feng and I, our family members are still in Beijing."

The fork in the road is right in front of you, no matter which side you go, don't be confused.

If they are alone, with their eyes closed and their hearts bent, right and wrong are up to him, but they still have family members.

Lin Fan's hearing is good, he can almost hear the commotion in this room.

He wanted to come over to explain, but saw Old Hou Ye waved to him.

Marquis Yongning looked deeply at Marquis Anbei and Feng Zhong, and said: "It is precisely because I know that you still have family members in Beijing that you have not mentioned it, and it will only make you more worried.

I don't want to embarrass you, I just want to use my strength to encircle the private mines that have been concealed first.

At the Yan's house, the old man will do it.

When the time comes, you will return to Beijing first, and the old man will postpone it.

Once the army presses forward, even if the emperor is annoyed that you didn't tie the old man and boy Lin back to the capital, he won't embarrass you.

He also needs someone to lead the army to stop the old man. "
