son-in-law

Chapter 25
At the end of Haishi, Tang Qi hadn't come back yet.The subordinates who were ordered to stay in the wine shop to perform punching orders were hoarse, but they still punched again and again, and they felt tired watching them.Su Yu felt drowsy and supported his forehead with one hand, while Xiao Huan had already fallen asleep lying on the table on the first floor.

It wasn't until midnight that Tang Qi ran back and pretended to apologize to Su Yu, saying that he came back too late and delayed his little uncle's return home to rest.I'm really sorry that I couldn't accompany my little uncle to dinner today, and I must invite you again another day.Su Yu complained a little bit, but stopped talking further.At this moment, Su Yu was worried about Li Xun, because Li Xun had gone for an hour and hadn't come back, so he was afraid that something might happen.

Seeing that Su Yu was gloomy, Tang Qi said something nice with a playful smile, and finally told Su Yu to keep it a secret.Naturally, Su Yu wouldn't argue with Tang Qi, so he smiled, as forgiveness.

A group of people walked back laughing and escorting Su Yu home, while Tang Qi ran home with his followers.Su Yu took Xiao Huan into the princess mansion, looked up, and saw that the lights in the main building were still on.

Su Yu asked: "Does Miss usually go to bed late?"

"Well, Miss is very busy, so she often goes to bed very late." Xiao Huan paused and said, "Recently, another moth came out of the Meng family, saying that the original plan was changed, the delivery time was postponed, and the price was raised a little bit more. But now the Tang Corporation is almost unable to hold on, so the lady disagrees. But the Meng family and its chaebol force the lady to agree, and they will never sell any goods. They only say that if the Tang Corporation does not abide by the agreement, it will be kicked out."

Su Yu frowned: "The Meng family is so tyrannical?"

Xiao Huan sighed: "Ever since the Empress Dowager Tang and Concubine Meng started fighting, the relationship between the Tang and Meng families has been tense. Although there were still some exchanges between Prime Minister Meng and Da Sima, it was all superficial. The important ministers have to put on a show. When it comes to shopping malls, the Meng family no longer hides it. With their strong financial resources, they often make things difficult for the Tang family. It is all supported by the young lady. During this period, wars frequently occurred in the north, and the Tang family suffered the most. Seriously. In comparison, the Meng family prefers Jingzhou."

"Jingzhou is not a safe place." Su Yu smiled wryly: "Since ancient times, Jingzhou has been contested by military strategists. However, the Southern Jin Dynasty is a very good neighbor and never took the initiative to provoke the Liang Dynasty. Instead, the Meng family took advantage of it. And This Tang family is also tough, and there are also garrisons in the Hanzhong area, so that Jingzhou does not have to worry about the Shu Han in the west, and only needs to keep an eye on the Southern Jin."

Xiao Huan said with a smile: "Young Master is worthy of being a child of a military family, and you really know a lot."

"I do have a few general friends." Su Yu changed the subject: "Who is in charge of economic affairs in the Meng family now?"

Xiao Huan said: "The man is not very old. He is the brother of Prime Minister Meng Danqing, named Meng Sixun. Speaking of which, Meng Sixun's surname is not Meng, and he is also a scandal in the Meng family. Back then, his mother was the seventh lady of the Meng family. It is also Meng Xiang's Seventh Aunt who gave birth to him when she was 17 years old. Such a scandal broke out in a wealthy family. How could Jing Guogong not be angry and hang the child to death. If it weren't for Miss Seven who gave her life to protect her , and can’t live today. But that person is smart, and he has a very good relationship with the 21st son Meng Danqing. Later, Meng Danqing inherited the Duke of Jing, and he can be regarded as a chicken and a dog ascending to heaven.”

Su Yu nodded: "A person with such experience can still hold power, he must be a ruthless character."

Xiao Huan nodded: "Well, Meng Sixun is capable of writing and martial arts. He was sent to the battlefield when he was 19 years old. He accompanied the King Mu to conquer the Western Regions and made many military exploits."

"Oh, it's really not that simple."

While speaking, he had already entered the second courtyard, and when he looked at the small building again, the lights had already been turned off.

Xiaohuan trotted to the front of the building, talked to Wang Xun, only said that the uncle had gone home, and ran back again.

-

Imperial City, Changqiu Palace.

The old eunuch Li Wantang walked into the Empress Dowager's bedroom without any notification, and other eunuchs and maids saluted the old eunuch one after another.Empress Dowager Chen has been troubled by insomnia for many years, and she is lying on the bed with difficulty falling asleep, frowning slightly.Seeing Li Wantang coming in, the Empress Dowager waved lightly, and the maids withdrew one after another.

Only the Queen Mother and Li Wantang were left in the room.

Li Wantang saluted and said respectfully: "Cao Wudi sent news that during the daytime today, Su Yu wanted to give the Luoying Sword to Tang Qiu. Tang Qiu tried twice, but Su Yu insisted on giving it away. According to Tang Qiu's description, If she really took the sword away at that time, then Su Yu would not object."

"Give it to Tang Qiu?" Empress Dowager Chen frowned even more: "I can't understand why Su Yu did this? Could it be that he really picked up the sword on the road?"

Li Wantang said: "This matter is indeed strange. However, there are various indications that Su Yu really has the idea of ​​contacting the killer group."

"Who has he contacted?"

"Chen Family Restaurant."

"Oh?" The queen mother smiled bitterly: "It's interesting, let Cao Wudi keep an eye on it. Let's see what this little smash is going to do."

"Here."

The queen mother became more energetic, sat up and asked, "How is the situation at Tian Jing?"

Li Wantang said: "Tian Jing regained Tang Zhen's trust, and invited the imperial doctor to treat her injuries. Cao Wudi did not visit Tian Jing, and the specific injury is unknown."

The Queen Mother hesitated for a moment: "Tell me, Tang Zhen, that monkey boy, would he really trust Tranquility?"

Li Wantang shook his head: "It's hard to say, according to Tian Jing, Tang Zhen actually noticed her a long time ago. It's just that Tang Zhen wants to play a long game."

"If you put a long line to catch a big fish, then who does he want to catch? Me? Oh, the Tang family really has a big appetite. Contact the emperor in private, do you think I don't know? More ambitious. If that's the case, don't blame me for being cruel."

The queen mother stood up, Li Wantang hurried over to support the queen mother's wrist, and the two came outside the hall.

The fresh air rushed towards me, and the queen mother became more sober, and said: "If you have time, you can meet Tang Xiong in person and make him ready to succeed Tang Zhen."

"The slave will go tomorrow."

The queen mother nodded: "Outsiders say that the conflict between Tang Zhen and Tang Ning is irreconcilable. In fact, they don't know that Tang's biggest crisis is hidden in Xianbo's mansion. When Tang Xian was alive, he was squeezed out by Tang Qiong and Tang Ning. Most of them were eaten by the two of them. Tang Xian died early, and Tang Qiong and Tang Ning bullied Tang Xiong after his death. As a result, only 800 people are left in Tang Xiong's hands. The hatred in Tang Xiong's heart is hard to wipe away. But I think the 800 people are enough. Rushing into Qinghuafang, let them Tang family kill the Tang family. But we can sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and reap the benefits of the fisherman. Hahahaha."

As the laughter continued, the Empress Dowager suddenly lowered her face and said viciously, "You want to catch me? Tang Zhen is still a little tender!"

-

Chengfufang, Meng Xiangfu.

Liang Dynasty Prime Minister Meng Danqing (Jing Guogong) successively explained affairs with several people, and finally left Meng Sixun to chat until late.Meng Sixun seemed a little emotional, but under Meng Danqing's persuasion, Meng Sixun gave up his idea and decided to follow Meng Danqing's arrangement.

After Meng Sixun left, it was getting late, and Meng Danqing was about to rest when a swordsman approached and whispered: "Meng Xiang, something serious may happen to the Tang family."

"What's the matter?"

"The queen mother wants to touch the Tang family."

"Oh, I know."
