Chapter 57 Mysterious Killer

Su Yu promised Tang Yan that he would definitely arrange something for his eldest nephew.

Then Tang Yan stood up and said goodbye.But until he left, he didn't make a request to "go to Wanhualou together".Obviously, Tang Yan didn't want to make trouble when there was serious business to do.

Originally, Su Yu had agreed to him, but instead of going home immediately to find his son to meet Su Yu, he came to Tang Jin's teahouse and sat down.

Tang Jin, who was taking a nap, was woken up by his concubine. After washing his face, he came out, and while wiping his face, he asked, "What's wrong, Brother Seventeen, why are you frowning?"

Tang Yan sighed: "You said that the business of laundering black gold is not difficult at all. If Tang Zhen and Tang Linger really want to do this, why didn't you tell us in advance? Why, are we not reliable? Over the years, we Is there no trust in doing things for him?"

Tang Jin threw the towel to the concubine, smiled and said nothing.

Tang Yan tapped the table in front of him lightly with his finger: "Our brothers have worked hard for the Tang family. All the dirty work is ours. But usually we do things, and we only give us a few small money. It is not enough to spend. Said, usually when the family is short of money, I have to ask others with a shy face. And every time it is just a small amount of money. Who am I, who am I? I am the seventeenth son of Tangmen. Eighteen Among the brothers, which one is as hard-working as I am, but which one is as wronged as I am?"

Tang Jin personally brought the tea and said, "Yes, yes, our Seventeenth brother has worked hard and done a lot, and everyone can see it."

Tang Yan took the teacup: "In the past when Tang Ling'er came to me to do business, her older brother was older than her elder brother. But after working for two years, her attitude changed when she talked to me again. It was as if she was my boss. And every time To do things is just to give me a few small money. It seems to send a beggar. If I didn't think about the family business, I would have given up my mother's pick."

After finishing speaking, he took a big sip of tea, dropped the teacup on the square table, and made a bang.

"Then what can we do? Who told our seventeenth brother to be a concubine." Tang Jin laughed dryly: "In all fairness, among the Tang family's nephews and nephews, the eldest son Tang Gan is the first one who can do things, and the second is Tang Qian." The second son, Tang Kun. Apart from the two of them, I think only the seventeenth brother is the best at handling things. It's a pity that his family background is not good, which has delayed his future."

"Oh, you can't talk like that." Tang Yan waved his hand: "I still have many shortcomings. When my father was around, my father once said that I can't read books as a child, and I don't want to practice martial arts. After all, it's me If you don’t work hard enough, no wonder others.”

"No, no." Tang Jin shook his head and said, "It's not that I don't want to give my brother face and insist on refuting, it's just that my brother's remarks are too biased, and it's simply underestimating himself. It is said that Tang Zhen is the best after Tang Qian and Tang Kun. The son of the Tang family. But what kind of preferential treatment did Tang Zhen experience when he was a child, and what kind of cold treatment did our seventeenth brother receive?

In terms of background, who else is better than Tang Zhen?

When the first emperor and Empress Tang were alive, Tang Zhen accompanied him as the prince, and he entered and exited the palace like his own backyard.It's no wonder that the emperor is Tang Zhen's uncle and the queen is Tang Zhen's aunt, both of them are relatives.And Tang Zhen and the prince Zhao Ying look very similar, and have the same temperament. Before the age of 12, the prince lived in the queen's house, and Tang Zhen also lived in the queen's house, eating and living with classmates.The teachers who teach the prince are the best teachers in the world.Whatever the prince learns, Tang Zhen learns. After the age of 12, the prince left the imperial palace and entered the East Palace. From then on, Tang Zhen had everything the prince had.

Such an opportunity, but the seventeenth brother can have it?
But if the mother of our seventeenth brother is also a certain princess, is it Tang Zhen's turn to accompany him?Is it Tang Zhen's turn to inherit the Duke of An?I don't think so. "

Tang Yan listened silently, tapping his fingers on the table.

Tang Jin smiled and said: "Prince Zhao Ying failed to inherit the throne, otherwise, my Tang family's plan may come true. Our Tang family and the royal family will join hands to kill the Meng family and the Ximen family. Jiangbei will be divided equally and the power will be shared.

It's a pity that the Meng family and the Ximen family have also seen through this, and they will definitely hinder it.Everyone said that Prince Zhao Ying was poisoned to death by Ximen family swordsmen.Later, the Empress Dowager Tang fought fiercely with Concubine Meng Gui in the palace.Concubine Meng assassinated Prince Mu, and Empress Tang drowned Prince Yu.That caused the two empresses to meet each other.

It is said that Empress Tang didn't want to fight with Concubine Meng at that time, so she took the initiative to talk to Concubine Meng, but she only brought two eunuchs, two guards with swords and six court ladies with her.

But there are no less than twenty masters hidden in Concubine Meng's palace.

When the two empresses met, it was said that Concubine Meng Gui was aggressive and threw a cup as a sign, causing a fight.

Feng Dan, a Meng family swordsman, led twenty masters to rush out. First, he shot arrows, and then chopped them with knives and axes.

It is really extraordinary to say that Empress Tang has two masters by her side. One of them is Hu Rong, and the other is said to be named Chen.Martial arts are extremely high.In the chaos of blades, the Empress Dowager Tang was dragged out abruptly.

The fighting was fierce, with casualties on both sides.

In fact, the six court ladies around Empress Tang were all masters, but they were injured by arrows first, so they were killed by Feng Dan before they could hold on for long.

That Feng Dan, who was the number one swordsman in the Meng Mansion back then, was omnipotent immediately, and his arrows hit a hundred shots.Seeing that the guard surnamed Chen with a knife rescued Empress Tang, Feng Dan flew an arrow, which hit Empress Tang in the back.Killed instantly.

The queen was dead, so Hu Rong and the guards surnamed Chen fled, and everyone else died. "

Tang Yan was fascinated by what he heard, and suddenly asked in confusion: "Huh? Didn't I hear that Concubine Meng Gui also died on the spot?"

Tang Jin nodded: "I also heard that Concubine Meng Gui committed suicide."

Tang Yan asked: "Why did you commit suicide?"

Tang Jin said in a low voice: "Seventeenth brother, think about it, what will happen to the Tang family and the Meng family outside the palace if the two ladies fight like that in the palace? The Meng family girl killed the Tang family girl, can our Tang family let it go?"

"Of course not!"

"Therefore, only if Concubine Meng Gui also dies, the two families will not cause more trouble."

Tang Yan groaned, and said slowly: "This is the first time I've heard of this kind of saying. It's quite different from the previous legends."

Tang Jin smiled bitterly and said: "Feng Dan's life was short, and he died within half a year after this incident. Once he died, there was no proof of his death. And none of the masters who entered the palace with Feng Dan came out at that time. Just say yes Empress Tang's people killed those people. But who knows the truth?"

"Huh?" Tang Yan was stunned: "Brother Jin, why haven't you heard such detailed explanations before? How did you know?"

Tang Jin pretended to be mysterious and smiled: "Recently, there is an extra swordsman by my side, and this swordsman told me."

"Oh? Where is this swordsman, please come and see him?"

"Is this..." Tang Jin was a little embarrassed: "Brother Seventeen, now is not the time."

Tang Yan sneered: "Don't you be a famous killer?"

Tang Jinhui said with a sly smile: "How can I say that Brother Seventeen is smart? You guessed it right. This man was desperate in Luoyang City. He was introduced by a friend on the road and hid in my house. He said, as long as I guarantee his Without revealing his identity, he can do three things for me."
