Chapter 70 The Secret History of the Tang Family
Xiao Huan knows a lot of secrets.

But even when he got home, he couldn't speak loudly, because the two masters invited by Hu Rong of Lao Diao Temple were hiding near the ear room.

It was late at night, and when the oil lamp was lit, the little maid told Su Yu a rather tragic story through her throat.

Xiaohuan said that in Tang Zhen's generation, there are more than eighteen sons.

It's just that Tang Qiong, Tang Ning, and Tang Xian didn't want to admit it.

Counting the boys born to the three old brothers and the maids and concubines at home, there are at least fifty sons.

But the mothers of those people are humble. If they can’t show a certain ability higher than children of the same age at the age of seven or eight, they will be given up and arranged to work in some places, which is almost the same as the children of ordinary people.And Tang Yan, who seems to be the weakest among the eighteen young masters now, was actually a clever ghost when he was a child.His shortcoming is that he doesn't like to study and can't bear hardships.Otherwise, he should be very good.

The family members of the Tang family are rich, but they never take care of those children who are born with poor aptitude. In the words of old Duke Tang Qiong, the money should be used wisely, and the money should not be wasted on some useless people.Feeding so many wastes will make the family more and more bloated, and finally the Tang family will be dragged down by various expenses.

If they are forced to place mediocre people in important positions, it may cause more damage. For example, if he is made a general, it may cause a catastrophic situation of "one general is incompetent and exhausts the three armies", and it will cost a lot of money. Painful price.

So just throw them all out and let them fend for themselves like normal people.

Only a part of the elite will be kept and continue to manage the family.

Su Yu felt something was wrong, twisted the wick, and asked in a low voice, "There are fifty boys, but what about girls? Why are there only fifteen girls?"

Xiao Huan said in horror: "Uncle, sometimes the Tang family is worse than animals in their affairs. They are even more ruthless to their own people. If I tell you, you may not believe it."

Looking at Xiao Huan's expression and listening to her tone of voice, the horror atmosphere quickly filled the cabin, but Su Yu still let Xiao Huan continue talking.

Xiao Huan said nervously: "Those daughters, as long as the birth mother's family is not tough, I don't know where they will be arranged. I heard that even the young lady doesn't know."

"Why?" Su Yu was puzzled.

Xiao Huan approached, and the light shone on the girl's face from bottom to top, and a hideous face appeared, and she said ghostly: "Everyone guesses, maybe they were sent to the dungeon to practice kung fu. Only three out of ten survived. "

"Impossible!" Su Yu glared: "You little girls can speculate about things, you can think in the dark, but you can't go against human nature. A wealthy father can't send his daughter to that kind of place. No matter how you Say, I don’t believe it either! If it’s a crazy father who sent away one or two for some special purpose, it might be possible. But Tang Qiong, Tang Ning, and Tang Xian all sent dozens of daughters away. It’s absolutely impossible. .”

-

Unable to fall asleep by the little maid's words, Su Yu tossed and turned on the bed.

No matter how he thought about it, he couldn't figure out the arrangement of the Tang clan.

Not long after, Su Yu sat up, walked lightly to the outer room, and walked to Xiao Huan's bedside.

The little maid had already fallen asleep, and there was a hint of a smile on her round face. I don't know that the little maid fell asleep thinking of something beautiful.

Su Yu decided to go out for a walk.

Worried that Xiao Huan would wake up in the middle of the night and search everywhere, so she left a note and wrote: "I will go to check around, don't need to look for me. I will definitely come back before dawn."

Before leaving, he put down two silver coins.

Putting on his clothes, holding his sword, he called out the two masters after he left the house, and after a few brief explanations, he swaggered towards the watchtower, said a few more words to the guardian of the princess' mansion who was watching the night, and then went out through the main entrance.

After going out, he walked along the base of the wall, avoiding the sight of the Tsing Yi night patrol thugs of the Tang Sect, and most importantly, avoiding the sight of those masters in the Duke's Mansion.The Duke's Mansion is as big as four princess mansions, with five watchtowers, and the middle watchtower is as tall as a six-story building, with excellent sightlines from above.

But no matter how good the position is, it is impossible to see everything at a glance. Su Yu walked along the base of the wall, and even the moonlight could not shine on him.

In fact, this stage is not terrible. Even if someone bumps into her, she doesn't do anything wrong, and just says something casually to fool her.

The reason for doing this is to test whether those swordsmen in the Duke's Mansion can also find him in this situation.

If the guess is correct, once the swordsmen find someone sneaking around, they will probably chase them over to ask about the situation.

But until Su Yu came to Dongdacang, he didn't realize that he was being followed.

Judging whether he was being followed, Su Yu was quite sure.From childhood, Lao Huang and Lao Lu taught Su Yu some anti-reconnaissance methods.Think of it as a game when I was a kid.After growing up, I feel that I have benefited a lot.Even Senior Sister Yan praised that Su Yu was very good at avoiding stalking.As cunning as a fox.But Senior Sister Yan seems to have special tracking skills, which also gave Su Yu a headache.Later, Senior Sister Mo Yan taught him, and now he is also mastered by Su Yu.

Since no one was following him, there was no need for him to go to Dongda warehouse to pretend to be a relative, and he simply went directly to Li's warehouse.

He went straight to Li Xun's room and was about to knock on the door when he heard some strange voices. When he leaned over the door and heard it, it turned out to be the sound of men and women making peace.

"Ok?"

Su Yu thought to himself, horses are weak because they are thin, and people are not romantic because they are poor.It is said that men turn bad when they have money, and it seems that Li Xun can't escape this.Su Yu thought that Li Xun found a woman from a brothel, who would have thought that she would hear the woman say soon after: "Brother Li Xun, when will you marry me?"

Li Xun said: "Tomorrow, I will marry tomorrow."

"I, Zhang Qiaogu, am not a casual woman. My brother is not allowed to cheat on me. Otherwise, I will lose face."

"No, no, Qiaogu don't worry."

After listening to a few more words, I realized that this was the first time these two people got together today, and this woman was none other than Feng Yu's mother, the half-mature Zhang Qiaogu.

"A bachelor and a widow, they make a couple."

Su Yu smiled wryly, and teased in his heart, so he didn't bother the two of them, but went to the small warehouse next to him, took out the key, opened the door, and then took out the key to open the lying cabinet, and found a set of white robes, a copper mask, and a treasure bag and Luoying Sword.

During the whole process, there was almost no sound.At least they didn't overwhelm the voices of Li Xun and Zhang Qiaogu.

Dressed neatly, he drew out his sword, and seeing the cold light shining on the Luoying sword, Su Yu said to himself, "Li Mobai, the left envoy of the Red Black God's Sect Chasing the Wind, wants to talk to Tang Jin tonight."

Going out of the house, he flew up to the wall, leaned on the wall and looked around, turned over, ran short, and went straight to Tang Jin's house.

Dodging two waves of thugs in Tsing Yi along the way, Su Yu climbed over the wall and came to the backyard of Tang Jin's tea house.

Looking up, the lights on the third floor were on.

Stretching out his hand to pull the back door, the door was bolted. Su Yu took out a slender iron hook from the treasure bag, and slowly turned the bolt. Not long after, there was a soft "crack" sound, and the door opened.
