Comprehensive Martial Arts: Read to become a sage, use martial arts to break the ban

Chapter 146 The Brothers and Sisters of the Tang Family (Two Chapters in One)

Xie Yuanfang finally opened his eyes.

After collective rescue by the Tai Hospital, the injury was stabilized, but the fever that lasted for half a month destroyed the nerves and acupoints, and he could no longer practice martial arts.

Xiao Luo sat by the hospital bed, his heart was full of bitterness and heaviness.

The first battle of Qin Tianjian was miserable, he was injured, Xie Yuanfang almost died, Qi Tianchen lost his internal strength.

Although Mo Yi was killed, no one unlocked the Nether Technique, and Sikong Qianruo still didn't know how to wake it up.

Emperor Ming was drawn a few bowls of blood, and then lay back on the dragon couch. Xiao Luo had no choice but to go up to the court with a bandage wrapped around him, and deal with a mountain of government affairs.

Fortunately, the great Confucian Chen Deming has arrived, and all the affairs of Chun Wei have been handed over to him.

"Is Your Highness all right?"

Xiao Luo stretched out his hand to hold Xie Yuanfang: "I am safe, thank you for saving my life."

Xie Yuanfang smiled: "Your Highness, we are fine."

Xiao Luo couldn't bear to tell him about the damage to his martial veins, and comforted him: "You take care of yourself, and come back to duty after you recover."

After watching Xie Yuanfang, Xiao Luo returned to the East Palace study.

Mu Xiaofan is waiting for him: "Your Highness, the three mansions of King Bai, King Xiao and King Chang'an have been confiscated, and the money obtained, as well as the catalog of antique calligraphy and paintings are all here."

Xiao Luo took the brochure he handed over and asked, "Is it enough for disaster relief?"

"That's enough. The three prefectures stole a total of 300 million taels, and the disaster relief only needs 800 million li. The rest will go into the national treasury."

"Take out 50 yuan to rebuild the Qin Tianjian, mainly to rebuild the Haobai Building, let Feixuan do it."

"Yes."

"There are also pensions and treatment fees for the casualties of the imperial guards, which will also be distributed."

"According to the order."

Antique calligraphy and painting, the three palaces, and the Lanyuehou Mansion, these are not easy to deal with.

Xiao Luo pondered, it's time to see Miss Wei.

After finishing the affairs of the household department, he picked up the memorial on the desk, the top one was written "Chun Wei Yi", signed by Chen Deming.

Tang Lianyue was also reading official documents.

Several thick booklets were piled up on the desk, and a counting chip was placed beside it.

Perhaps the accounts in the booklet were wrong, Tang Lianyue grabbed the counting chip, beat it cracklingly, then stopped, looked at the numbers on the counting chip and frowned.

At this moment, the guard came to report in a panic: "Master, something has happened, the young master is dead!"

"what!"

Tang Lianyue threw down the brochure and suddenly stood up.

"The young master died at Xiao Penglai in Taiping Town. The murderer and witnesses are on their way and are about to enter the city. Should they be taken to the execution hall or somewhere?"

The Tang Sect headquarters is divided into Battle Hall, Work Hall, Execution Hall and Training Hall.

The Zhantang is in charge of external warfare and internal protection, and the Gongtang is in charge of construction projects, as well as supervising the manufacture of hidden weapons and poisons.

The punishment hall is the department for criminal investigation, arresting robbers, and rewarding and punishing members. Criminal cases in the area around the Tongliang Mountains will also be handed over to the criminal department for handling.

The training hall is a place to train young disciples and teach martial arts.

Each of the four halls has its own office area.

Tang Lianyue thought for a moment, then said: "Go to Guangyang Hall, and invite the three elders and the four hall masters to come here together."

Xiao Han, Ji Yao and six disciples escorted Mu Duan and rode into the Tang Sect headquarters.

The Tongliang Mountains are very large, and the real jurisdiction of the Tang Sect is at the southern foot of the Bayue Mountain Peak, with the mountains behind and facing the water, it is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Therefore, no tall city walls were built. Instead, it looked like a very wealthy family, where various direct families lived together.

Each family has its own courtyard, and if they are connected together, they become a small town.

The headquarters is a huge courtyard full of ten feet, which is divided into the outer courtyard and the inner courtyard.

The outer courtyard works, and the inner courtyard lives. Tang Lianyue and Mrs. Tang both live in the inner courtyard of the headquarters.

The Tang Sect had already received an informant, and the guards did not listen to the pleas of the six disciples, and escorted them all to the Guangyang Hall.

Entering the hall, Xiao Han saw Tang Lianyue at a glance.

After more than ten years of separation, Tang Lianyue was in her late [-]s, wearing a thin dark purple gown, her already fair face was now covered with frost, and a short beard around her lips added to her majesty.

In addition to Tang Lianyue, there were also the three elders of the Tang Sect who had met in Leijiabao in the hall.

In addition, there are four older men and one young girl.

Tang Lianyue was taken aback when she saw Xiao Han.

The three elders of the Tang family didn't pay attention, and threw themselves on Tang Wenxing's body, cursing and crying.

Tang Lianyue coughed and bowed to Xiao Han first: "Why is Your Highness here?"

Xiao Han winked, and replied: "I was passing through Taiping Town, and happened to bump into the young master who died unfortunately, so I followed to be a witness."

Hearing Tang Lianyue's words, the third elder of the Tang family finally came to his senses, and immediately shouted: "Chang'an Wang Xiaohan, why did you come to Tangmen!"

"Xiao Han, did you kill Wen Xing?"

"You must have killed the young master!"

"shut up!"

Tang Lianyue yelled angrily: "Let the person who followed the young master tell the story first!"

Several disciples plopped on the ground and told about Xiao Penglai. Tang Wenxing asked about the details of the room, but the disciples said they didn't know.

Asking the murderer again, Mu Duan knew that he couldn't escape, so he told everything about the copper mine.

"Nonsense, how could Wen Xing covet your money, it's clear that you spouted blood!"

Tang Bubei jumped up and immediately punched Mu Duan.

Unexpectedly, a white hand stretched out from the side to stop Tang Bubei, it was the young girl.

She looked less than twenty, wearing a white gauze to cover her purple tube top, and the hollow in the middle was covered by tulle. In this late spring and early summer season, she looked unusually cool.

There is a black cloth bag hanging around his waist, and it is unknown what kind of hidden weapon it contains.

Looking at her face again, with willow eyebrows and almond eyes, she smiles and looks around, she seems to have a variety of charms.The bare arms are like a few knots of white lotus root, and the slender fingers are painted with bright Koudan.

She said in a gentle voice: "Don't worry about sad uncle, you are here, are you still afraid of escaping?"

After hearing her words, Tang Bubei seemed to calm down, gave Mu Duan a hard look, and stepped aside.

Tang Lianyue then asked Xiao Han: "Your Highness said that he is a witness, so he must know the truth of the matter?"

Xiao Han nodded, took a step forward, hugged the four who had been silent all this time, glanced at the woman who had just spoken, and said in a deep voice: "My junior sister and I happened to be laughing at Penglai for dinner. The private room where the village master had a private conversation is very close, and I overheard..."

He will repeat what he has heard.

Mu Duan kept nodding: "That's it, that's it... I was so angry that I acted impulsively. The [-] silver was collected by everyone in our village. The young master took it away. How can I explain it to the brothers in the village?" .”

Everyone knows Tang Wenxing's virtue, and everyone sighed when they saw him die like this.

Tang Lianyue stopped the three elders of the Tang family from making noise, and asked, "Master Wenyao, what do you mean?"

Tang Wenyao, the head of the punishment hall, is a stern and selfless old man who has been in charge of the punishment hall for more than [-] years. He immediately replied: "Kill for life."

Hearing that the murder was paid for, Mu Duan immediately collapsed on the ground.

The motivation and process are clear, Tang Lianyue asked: "Do you have any different opinions?"

Everyone shook their heads.

Xiao Han frowned, although it was Mu Duan who committed the murder, there was a reason for the incident and he should not be killed.

He looked at Tang Lianyue.

Tang Lianyue blinked at him suddenly, Xiao Han's heart moved, and he said, "I'm an outsider, so I shouldn't be talking about it, but the dead are dead, and Mujiazhai is a sect under the Tang Sect, so it's better to give it to Muzhai." Lord a chance."

Tang Liyue asked: "What's your opinion, Your Highness?"

"I heard that the Tang Sect's business has been repeatedly hindered recently, and various supplies are in short supply. It is better to let the Muzhai master commit crimes and perform meritorious deeds, and use money to redeem himself."

When Mu Duan heard this, he immediately got up and shouted: "Give me the copper mine, and I will hand over [-]% of the profit every year! No, [-]%!"

"fart!"

Tang Bubei was furious and kicked Mu Duan over.

This time, the pretty girl didn't stop him.

The head of the punishment hall, Tang Wenyao's face darkened, and he said in a muffled voice, "If you can use money to survive, then there is no need to set up the punishment hall in the Tang Sect."

Tang Lianyue was noncommittal, and asked the rest of the people: "Zhantang, Training, Gongtang, what do you three hall masters say?"

Tang Liansheng, the master of the training hall, is Tang Lianyue's cousin. He was the first to reply: "Tang Sect is the first priority in everything. Right now, Tang Sect is in urgent need of money."

Tang Wensi, the master of the Gongtang, is a distant branch, and he believes that silence is golden. Except for the affairs of the hall, he never expresses his opinions.

Listening to Tang Lianyue asking for advice, she squeezed out four words: "Listen to the sect master."

Tang Lian, the master of the battle hall, was only less than 30 years old, and was just promoted after the year. He immediately replied, "Young master is wronged. You can let Muzhai master take the blame and make meritorious deeds, but the Tang sect wants [-]% of the profits."

Eighty percent, it is simply working for the Tang Sect for nothing.

Before Mu Duan expressed his objection, the pretty girl said, "The door master and the hall masters mean to exchange my father's life for money."

Xiao Han looked at her again. It turned out to be Tang Yan, the granddaughter raised by Mrs. Tang, Tang Wenxing's daughter.

Did not expect such style.

When Tang Yan opened her mouth, except for Tang Wenyao, the hall masters all showed embarrassment.

At this time, a man suddenly walked in from outside the hall. He looked four or five years older than Tang Yan, with a high nose bridge, thin lips, and snow-white skin.

If it weren't for the two-inch scar above his left eye, he would be considered a handsome man.

He glanced at the corpse on the ground, then looked away, and said coldly: "I agree to let Master Mu redeem his life with money."

Now, not only Tang Bubei, but also Tang Buxi and Tang Bule jumped up and down and cursed:

"Tang Jue, you unfilial son, trade your father's life for money!"

"I only know how to curry favor with the sect master, forgetting who gave birth to me!"

"Your father and your great-grandfather are alive in the sky, and they will kill you, an unfilial son, with one palm!"

It turned out that this person was Tang Wenxing's son Tang Jue and Tang Yan's brother.

Hearing Tang Jue's words, Tang Yan sneered and stopped talking.

"All right!"

Tang Lianyue shouted loudly: "Let's deal with it like this. Hall Master Wen Si will take Master Mu Zhai down and sign an agreement with him to deliver the copper mine. The 1 taels will be used as a deposit."

"Yes."

Tang Wensi took the order to retreat, and several guards came in and dragged Mu Duan away.

A murder case is over.

into the night.

Xiao Han followed Tang Lianyue to the backyard.

"Brother, it's been a long time."

Tang Lianyue glared at him: "Call them uncle, call me elder brother."

Xiao Han lifted his cloak: "Brother, I'm coming to you."

Seeing his empty left arm, Tang Lianyue was shocked: "Your hand!"

"It's broken, it happened a month ago."

"who is it?"

Tang Lianyue shouted in a low voice.

"The person who killed Mrs. Tang."

"Xiao Luo, it's him again!"

Xiao Han recounted what happened in Tianzi City, and laughed at himself: "The skills are not as good as others, and I am useless."

"Nonsense, you are the most intelligent, kind, and upright prince I have ever met. If Bei Li is not in your hands, Bei Li will be in danger."

"He has already occupied Tianzi, and the father cannot protect himself. The second brother was forced to death by him, the seventh brother was killed for him, and the uncle Lanyuehou was beheaded by him."

"Punish father and brother, slaughter relatives, the legend is indeed true."

Tang Lianyue hated it.

Xiao Han said again: "Junior Sister Ji found out that Tang Sect's business was blocked, and it was also his fault."

"what?"

"Tongqu Pavilion has become his accomplice. Regardless of Tang Sect or Xueyun City, all transactions have been suppressed by Tongqu Pavilion. No merchant dares to accept your order, let alone deliver goods."

Tang Lianyue suddenly realized.

He is extremely skilled in martial arts, and he is number one in hidden weapons and poisons, but he is not good at managing directors. After several months of investigation, he has not found out the reason for the decline in business.

"Damn Xiao Luo, he wants to wipe out your influence."

Xiao Han remembered very clearly what Xiao Luo said in Leijiabao that day. He thought he would use force to suppress the Tang Sect. With the strength of the Tang Sect, both sides would surely lose.

Unexpectedly, he actually used business to suppress it. After a year, the effect is remarkable.

"Will Big Brother rely on him for this reason?"

"Mencius said: Wealth and honor can't be promiscuous, poverty can't be moved, and might can't be subdued. He is so ambitious, how can Tang Lianyue let him sit on the throne of Northern Li."

Xiao Han was moved in his heart, choked up and said: "Brother, you don't have to suffer for Tangmen for me."

Tang Lianyue patted him on the shoulder: "You are our hope, the person that the eldest brother entrusted to protect, Tang Sect will do its best for you."

"But the three elders of the Tang Sect?"

"They are old and deserve to enjoy happiness."

The bright moon hangs high, and the night wind brings the breath of vegetation.

In another courtyard in the backyard, Tang Yan held a wine glass and sipped it alone.

Tang Jue pushed the door open and entered.

"He is dead, you and your master are happy."

Tang Jue pulled up a chair and sat down: "Of course I'm happy."

Tang Jue's mother was a concubine, and she was originally ranked at an unknown number. After giving birth to him, her status rose immediately, becoming the most honorable wife after the official wife.

Unexpectedly, when Tang Jue was nine years old, his mother was slapped by Tang Wenxing for competing with Xinna's concubine, and her temple hit a stone in Taihu Lake, and she died immediately.

At that time, Tang Jue was practicing martial arts in the training hall. Hearing the news, he dragged a big sword and was about to fight Tang Wenxing desperately.

He was beaten half to death by Tang Wenxing's guards.

The father and son became enemies because of this, and Tang Jue would kill Tang Wenxing whenever he had an opportunity, and was beaten to death every time.

It wasn't until Tang Jue was taken away by Tang Lianyue and moved to the master's courtyard that the two of them couldn't see each other for a year or so, and then it subsided.

Perhaps having learned Tang Jue's lesson, Tang Yan was soon asked to leave by Mrs. Tang and brought up by herself.

"Like you, I have no feelings for him, but I don't like how your master handles it."

"Master did this for the entire Tang Sect."

Tang Yan said leisurely: "For the sake of the entire Tang Sect, King Chang'an should not be taken in. Have you forgotten what the old master said before he died?"
