Fortunate Young Gentleman

Song Yi is the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. Tang Ning has stayed in the Ministry of Punishment for a long time. She is not a close friend of him, but she is still much more familiar with him than other officials in the court.

In comparison, Tang Ning and Song Qian were familiar.

Three years ago, Song Qian was a judge in Jingdong Road, and he was also one of the examiners of the Lingzhou Prefectural Examination that year. Tang Ning was already familiar with him at that time. Some time ago in Jiangnan, after Tang Ning made a big fuss in Ezhou, the end of the Ezhou area At work, he also helped him deal with the aftermath.

Song Qian looked at him, smiled, and said, "I was transferred to Gyeonggi Province for punishment some time ago."

The punishment in Gyeonggi Province and the punishment in Gangnam Province are not the same at all. According to the promotion custom of punishment officials in Gyeonggi Province, the punishment in Gyeonggi Province is promoted by the punishment officer, and then the top and second leaders of the Ministry of Punishment or Dali Temple.

Chen Huang is good at employing people. The Song family has been doing this for generations. He has arranged all the Song brothers in suitable positions in this generation.

Tang Ning smiled and said, "Congratulations to Mr. Song."

"It's all thanks to Master Tang." Song Qian smiled and said, "Master Tang has shown great power in Jiangnan, and we have also benefited from it. I haven't thanked Master Tang yet..."

Tangning waved her hand and said, "You're welcome..."

Song Yi, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, looked at Tang Ning and said with a smile, "I would also like to thank Mr. Tang for his unbearable kindness in the Ministry of Punishment..."

Tangning waved her hand and said, "What are you talking about, Master Song? Those rumors are not credible..."

Song Yi looked at him and smiled without saying a word.

If those rumors are not believable, the former Minister of Household Affairs, Minister of Punishment, Minister of Personnel, Minister of Works, Minister of Rites, Prime Minister Feng, and all the officials from Jiangnan should all be in the capital now, instead of being demoted or exiled...

By the way, there is also a King Kang.

Fortunately, when he came to the Punishment Department, he was just a small chief, and a minister was enough for him. If he had waited until he was appointed as a minister before coming to the Punishment Department, he might not be able to stand here and talk to him safely now.

…

Brothers Song Qian and Song Yi came here today just for a purely courtesy visit.

After reaching their official position, which one of them is not entangled with many things, making more friends and forming more good relationships may be useful at some point.

Tang Ning chatted with them for a while, and then the two stood up to leave.

The Sixth Department is now only missing one member from the Criminal Department. Tang Ning will fight for it no matter what, but he can't tell Song Yi clearly that he is optimistic about Zhao Yuan as the emperor and has already organized a team. The Sixth Department is only missing one of you from the Criminal Department. Do you want to follow? Do they do it together?

If he thinks it works, he will join the gang. If it doesn't work, he will ask again after the punishment department changes someone...

After all, he is a serious person and would not do such unreasonable things.

If he remembered correctly, the friendship between Song Yi and Fang Hong seemed to be quite deep, and some things only needed to be touched upon.

What's more, the Song brothers came to the door together to express their goodwill. Tangning only had to accept the order. Talking too much would be bad.

Tang Ning escorted the Song brothers to the door. Song Yi saw that he was hesitant to speak several times and asked in surprise: "Does Mr. Tang have something to say to Song?"

Tangning nodded and said, "I do have a question that I would like to ask Mr. Song."

Song Yi smiled and said: "Master Tang, just ask, Song will definitely tell you everything he knows."

Tang Ning looked at him and asked curiously, "Does Mr. Song have a lot of money at his disposal?"

…

After sending the Song brothers away, Tangning shook her head with regret.

Song Yi only had one son, and he was already an adult. Song Qian did have a daughter, but she had left the government a few years ago. It seemed a bit impossible to tie them tightly to Zhao Yuan's ship through this way.

But it doesn't matter. The Song family is different from the Tang family. Even if they don't blatantly help, they won't hold back and shoot cold arrows from behind. Tang Ning has already done a lot for him. The next stage can be left to Zhao Yuan himself.

I don’t know if there are any other high-ranking officials in Beijing who have beautiful girls aged 11 or 12. Zhao Yuan has no other skills, but he is good at coaxing girls, and with this advantage of his, he can get out of the house abruptly. A unique way to win the throne...

In fact, Zhao Yuan himself worked very hard on the matter of fighting for the heir. He took three little girls around all day long, seemingly idle and doing nothing, but who knew that he was actually fighting for the heir apparent?

Today he brought his Zhang family sister, Wang family sister and Bai family sister to the Tang family. Just now he secretly ran into his study with a tall little girl, and he didn't know what he was doing there.

Tang Ning wasn't worried that they would do anything outrageous. The little ones didn't even have hair at all, and they could only hug each other.

Tang Ning was standing in the yard when Lao Zheng's daughter Nannan ran over and said, "Brother, I want to play on the swing..."

She climbed onto the swing by herself, with Tang Ning helping from behind. The swing was swinging very high, but Tang Ning was not worried at all.

Since the last time he saw Nannan mastering Lao Zheng's butcher knife, he no longer worried about her safety.

The butcher's daughter is not someone to be trifled with. With a physique like Zhao Yuan, she can chop someone into pieces with just one knife.

"Thank you, big brother..." When Tangning carried her down, Nannan hugged his head, kissed him on the face, and ran over to play with Xiaoxiao.

Lao Zheng, who was sitting in the yard sharpening his knife, looked up at him and then looked away.

Nannan's existence seemed to have inspired the maternal radiance of many women in the Tang family. From the master to the maids, everyone liked to hug her, and she was generous with her kisses, kissing everyone.

Tang Ning could see the light in Su Ru and Zhong Yi's eyes when they saw Nannan, but at the moment

they were undecided, so he could only postpone this matter for another two years.

Zhao Yuan and the little girl came out of the study with a trace of...

Tang Ning didn't know why he had such a lewd and almost obscene smile on his face at such a young age. In addition to this smile, there was a lip mark on his face.

Old Zheng glanced at Zhao Yuan, then looked at Tang Ning, and said lightly: "If the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked. Your apprentice is the same as you in this respect."

Tang Ning shook his head and said, "It's different."

Old Zheng smiled disdainfully and asked, "What's the difference?"

Tang Ning looked outside the courtyard and said, "If I were him, I wouldn't hang around like this before washing my face..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the voices of two little girls outside the door were scolded.

"Where did you go just now?"

"What's wrong with your face?"

"What is this?"

...

Zhao Yuan came back after a while, holding his waist. None of the three little girls were there. Tang Ning guessed that his waist must be as red as the lipstick marks on his face.

With tears in his eyes, he looked up at Tang Ning and asked miserably, "Sir, is the master's wife like this too?"

Tang Ning looked at him, shook his head regretfully, and said, "No."

Zhao Yuan sighed and turned to walk out the door.

Tang Ning looked at him and asked, "Where are you going?"

Zhao Yuan said with some sadness, "Back to the palace."

"Wait."

Zhao Yuan wiped his tears, looked back at Tang Ning, and asked, "Sir, is there anything else?"

Tang Ning looked at him and said regretfully, "You can't go back to the palace until you coax them..."

You have to walk on the road you have chosen even if you have to kneel down. This is the first real lesson Tang Ning taught Zhao Yuan.
