Fortunate Young Gentleman

Chapter 253: Seeking the Skin of a Tiger

Tang Ning sat in the pavilion, facing the mirror, making expressions of "happiness", "anger", "sorrow" and "joy". Tang Yaoyao sat opposite him, holding her chin and looking at him, and asked: "Did you take the wrong medicine?"

After observing for a long time, Tang Ning found that the expression he could control best was expressionless.

No joy or sadness, no anger or anger, so that others could not see his inner thoughts, which seemed better than deliberately making those exaggerated expressions.

Tang Yaoyao held her chin with one hand and asked: "You just beat those people, will you be okay?"

Tang Ning glanced at her and said: "I only beat one person, "those" were beaten by you."

Tang Yaoyao straightened his chest: "You asked me to beat them!"

Tang Ning looked at her and said: "Don't worry, good brothers are loyal. If the higher-ups blame me, I can take it alone."

The Hanlin Academy attendant from the Tang family was carried back by the yamen runners of Jingzhao Prefecture. Although Tang Ning was familiar with Chen law, he could not find an applicable clause for beating an official of the court.

The Imperial Academy's Attendant is a sixth-rank official, and the Imperial Academy's Compiler is a sixth-rank official, which means that the Tang is one rank higher than him and is his immediate superior. Beating up an immediate superior can be a big deal or a small deal, but since the beating has already happened, it depends on how the emperor will judge.

Qing'er trotted over and said, "Son-in-law, there are people outside again!"

This time, it was not the people from the county government, but two female officials from the palace.

A female official looked at him and said, "Master Tang, the Tang family suspects that you hid the second daughter of the Tang family. His Majesty asked us to clear your suspicion and make the Tang family speechless."

Tang Ning looked at the female official and said politely, "Thank you for your help."

The female official smiled and said, "Master Tang, you are too polite."

The female officials from the palace were much more polite than the yamen runners and constables in Jingzhao Prefecture. They knew to knock on the door when entering the room, and their movements were also very gentle. After checking every room, they came out and said, "I'm sorry to trouble Master Tang."

"It's okay." Tang Ning smiled and said, "Take care."

The female official looked at him and said with a smile, "His Majesty said that Master Tang should go back to the palace with us."

The emperor summoned him, so he naturally had to go.

Tang Ning followed the two female officials into the palace, and was led by a eunuch to the imperial study again.

This was his second time entering the palace today.

He walked to the center of the hall, bowed and said, "I am guilty!"

Emperor Chen looked up at him and asked, "Oh, what crime have you committed? Tell me."

Tang Ning said loudly, "I beat my superior, please punish me, Your Majesty!"

Emperor Chen looked at him and asked, "Don't you want to defend yourself?"

Tang Ning said, "I have nothing to say about my crime, and I am willing to be punished!"

Emperor Chen was silent for a moment and asked, "Do you regret it?"

"I don't regret it." Tang Ning raised his head and said, "If it happens again, even if Your Majesty will punish me severely, I will still do it and will never regret it!"

Emperor Chen glanced at him and said, "Okay, although you beat your superior, there is a reason for it, and I will not punish you."

Tang Ning bowed his hands and said, "Your Majesty, don't be embarrassed, I am willing to bear all the consequences of my actions."

"I said I won't punish you , no one dares to punish you. "Emperor Chen showed a look of relief in his eyes, and said: "As for your mother's affairs, I will continue to investigate. This time, I promised you a reward that I failed to fulfill. You can change another one."

Tang Ning had no expression on his face and said: "I don't want any reward..."

"If you can't think of it for a while, I will remember it for you first." Emperor Chen looked at him and said: "I hope you won't be affected too much by these things. Go to the Hanlin Academy as soon as possible and get familiar with the rules of the court as soon as possible. I have high expectations for you and hope you won't let me down."

Tang Ning bowed and said: "I will remember your majesty's teachings."

Emperor Chen looked at him and said: "It's getting late, you go back first."

Tang Ning bowed: "I'm leaving."

Tang Ning walked out of the imperial study, and several figures walked out of the back hall.

An old man in green bowed and said, "Your Majesty, there are many experts in the Tang Mansion, and the defense is not weak. I think the defense strength at night will be even higher. It is difficult to sneak into the Tang family unless you are a top player in the world. It is impossible to bring someone out quietly."

Another old man thought for a while and said, "Unless this person has superb light skills, or his martial arts have really reached a superb level, but there are only a handful of such people in the world, and they will not be easily driven by others."

Emperor Chen stood up from his seat and said, "That means, Tang Yu was really hidden by the Tang family themselves?"

The old man in green thought for a while and said, "It is not 100% possible, and it is also impossible to bring someone out quietly." Ninety percent."

Emperor Chen nodded and said, "Yes, if he had the ability to take his mother out quietly, he would have done so long ago, and would not have waited until now, going around in circles for so long, and Tang Jing would not have suffered such a disaster today."

Ling Yun thought for a while and asked, "Your Majesty, then this case..."

Emperor Chen waved his hand and said, "Let the people below investigate."

The meaning of handing it over to the people below is that there will be no strict investigation. After Ling Yun understood, he nodded and said, "As you wish."

Emperor Chen rubbed his eyebrows and waved his hand, saying, "Okay, I'm a little tired, you guys go down first."

"I'll take my leave."

"I'll take my leave."

Ling Yun left the hall and walked down the steps, seemingly asking casually: "Eunuch Wei, do you think the Tang family will do something to deceive the emperor for the sake of face?"

Wei Jian yawned and said: "Your Majesty is tired, and I am a little tired too. After all, I am old and not as energetic as young people like Commander Ling..."

He looked at Ling Yun with a smile and said: "Commander Ling is young and strong. If he has extra energy, he should train the imperial guards more. If he loses to others in the competition, your Majesty will lose face..."

Ling Yun watched Wei Jian slowly leave and shook his head inexplicably.

Tang Ning walked out of the palace gate and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Although the old beggar's action would not leave any traces, it would be tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger to include the emperor in the calculation. Every step is walking on a tightrope, which is extremely dangerous.

He has been testing for so long, including the few days at the Tang family, and it is already clear that the Tang family intends to go all the way and will not compromise.

When a noble family doesn't even care about their face, they can only be more shameless than them.

The conversation with Emperor Chen just now seemed calm, but it was actually extremely dangerous. The emperor would suspect the Tang family, and naturally he would also suspect him. However, in comparison, the Tang family was much more suspicious. After all, it was much easier for the Tang family to hide a person than for him to steal a living person from the Tang family.

When he entered the palace just now, he learned from the little eunuch that Tang Qi was transferred from Dongtai Sheren, who was directly involved in court affairs, to the Imperial Academy. He was about to change from a central minister who manipulated the court affairs to a gardener who devoted himself to the great cause of education. This was probably the opportunity that Emperor Chen had been waiting for for a long time to weaken the Tang family.

Although everyone was using each other, it was better to avoid doing things that were as dangerous as being with a tiger. He didn't know when the tiger would show its power, and he couldn't take his family to seek refuge with Lanlan...

...

The Tang family has undoubtedly been at the forefront of public opinion in the capital in recent days.

Both "Legend of the White Snake" and "The Lotus Lantern" have been concluded. The endings of the books are all about a family reunion, which naturally satisfies readers. However, the reality is not as perfect as in the books. The top scholar visited his mother four times but never saw her. Even if he asked for an imperial decree, he was rejected by the ruthless Tang family. The Tang family would not openly disobey the imperial decree. Once Miss Tang appeared again, the Tang family would be deceiving the emperor, which means that the top scholar would never see his biological mother...

As for the poor Miss Tang, whether she was sent away or killed, no one knows except the Tang family...

In just a few days, the people in Beijing despised and disdained the Tang family.
