Fortunate Young Gentleman

Ling Family.

A woman looked at Ling Wu, the head of the Ling Family, and asked, "Feng'er has been arrested for a day and a night, why is there no movement?"

"What's the hurry?" Ling Wu said calmly, "After the Jingzhao government has tried the case, they will naturally release him."

The woman thought for a while and said, "Do you want to ask..."

"A woman's opinion." Ling Wu glanced at her and said, "This case was entrusted by His Majesty. Anyone who dares to interfere will immediately become a handle in the eyes of others. How to handle the case, Jingzhao government will make its own judgment, you just wait at home."

At the same time, the Right Wing Guard Li Family.

Li Ming, the young master of the Li family, was involved in the fight and arson case two days ago. He has been detained in the Jingzhao government for a day and a night. Everything in the Li family is the same as before, without any panic.

In the palace of Prince Kang, Prince Kang was flipping through the files related to the sacrificial ceremony. A servant came forward and asked, "Your Highness, something happened to the Zhang family. Should we intervene?"

"No need." Prince Kang said without raising his head, "Mr. Xu said that the Tang family is plotting against us. The purpose is to let Tang Ning and Prince Huai join forces to bring down the Zhang family. This kind of thing will become more and more chaotic the more we intervene."

The servant said, "What if Prince Duan takes the opportunity to make a move?"

"Prince Duan?" Prince Kang curled his lips and said, "If he makes a move, it will save me trouble. Unfortunately, Concubine Tang Hui and the Tang family are now raising him like a pig and not letting him move around. He is not as easy to deceive as before..."

...

The case that happened in the capital two days ago mainly involved the three major generals. These three major generals were related to Prince Kang, Prince Huai, and Marquis Dingguo. There were many variables everywhere, which attracted the attention of many people.

The case was difficult to handle, and the headache belonged to his father-in-law. Tang Ning's vacation was over, and he came to the Shangshu Province on time to deal with his affairs.

He read more than a dozen memorials and felt that something was not right.

More than half of these memorials were about the fight and arson that happened two days ago.

If this case was in normal times, it would be a common case. It would not be a big deal if those playboys did not cause a murder. It was mainly because of the sensitive period and the bad luck of meeting the seriousness of Emperor Chen, so it was treated so seriously.

But no matter how serious it is, there will be a limit. Being paid attention to by so many officials at the same time, there must be someone behind the scenes to fan the flames.

King Huai sat opposite Tang Ning, and in front of him, there were also a lot of memorials piled up.

The two raised their heads at the same time and looked at each other. King Huai asked: "Are they all about the arson case?"

Tang Ning nodded.

King Huai looked at him and asked, "What's going on?"

Tang Ning said, "The third young master of the Zhang family celebrated his birthday the day before yesterday and invited some friends to have a drink. It happened that Ling Feng, Li Ming and others were also eating in the restaurant. The two groups quarreled over an elegant pavilion and finally started fighting and burned down the restaurant..."

King Huai thought for a while and whispered, "Zhang family, Ling family, Li family..."

Tang Ning looked at him and said, "Tang family."

King Huai nodded and said, "The Tang family is plotting against us, and the target is - Zhang family."

The centipede is dead but not stiff. Although the Tang family has fallen into disrepair, even Tang Ning doesn't believe that they have any reserved power in secret.

Obviously, this is a trap against the Zhang family and King Kang.

While they plotted against the Zhang family, they also dragged the Ling family and the Li family into the water, and made the matter worse, indirectly trying to drag him and King Huai into the trap.

At that time, Tang Ning will protect the Ling family, King Huai will protect the Li family, and King Kang will definitely protect the Zhang family. In this way, it will become a struggle between Tang Ning, King Huai and King Kang.

Obviously, no matter who wins or loses this dispute, it is what King Duan is happy to see.

But they didn't expect that King Huai is such an old fox. Compared with the tricks he played on King Duan, these are just children's games.

Tang Ning and King Huai looked at each other and pushed the memorials into the trash can beside the table.

...

The capital, the street.

The government has been cleaning up the restaurant and several shops that were burned that night, and who is to blame for this case has not yet been determined.

However, in the eyes of many people, who is to blame for this case is no longer important.

What is important is that this case involving King Kang, King Huai and Dingguo Hou is destined to become an annual drama at the end of the third year of Dingyuan.

The Zhang family is King Kang's mother's family. How could King Kang ignore them?

King Huai only has one princess, and how could he sit idly by and watch the princess's family?

Not to mention Marquis Dingguo, whose reputation as a jinx and petty-minded person has long spread throughout the capital. Would he watch the Ling family suffer?

However, when they thought that the three would intervene in the case, neither King Huai, King Kang, nor Marquis Dingguo made any move.

The imagined strong competition was not seen, but the Zhang family took the initiative to take responsibility and was willing to pay twice the loss of the restaurant and shopkeepers. The Jingzhao Yamen closed the case. It seemed that because of the Zhang family's positive and serious attitude, His Majesty did not impose further punishment.

Obviously, the Zhang family gave in this time.

The opponent was too powerful. Neither Marquis Dingguo nor King Huai, who was entrusted with an important task, could afford to offend them.

When Tang Ning left the yamen and went home, he clearly felt that his father-in-law was relieved.

In fact, the concession of the Zhang family surprised him a little.

Judging from the information available to Jingzhao Prefecture, neither Ling Feng, Li Ming, nor the young master of the Zhang family were the instigators of this incident.

The fight originated from a conflict between two followers on both sides, and then gradually expanded to involve more than a dozen people.

The Zhang family took a step back and were willing to take responsibility. For the Jingzhao government office, it would be best if the case could be concluded quickly.

This also made Tang Ning look at the Zhang family in a new light.

Even after the fall of King Kang, the Zhang family could still stand firm and stand like an evergreen tree. It was indeed not without reason.

At the same time, Prince Duan’s Mansion.

Duan Wang looked confused: "The Zhang family is so cowardly. Is Zhao Cheng also this cowardly?"

The servant next to him nodded and said: "Back to Your Highness, the head of the Zhang family came forward and was willing to compensate for the losses of those shops. The shopkeepers withdrew the complaint, and this case is over."

"Where is King Huai, and where is Tangning?" Prince Duan asked with a look of reluctance on his face, "When they harmed me, they used one method after another. Why is there no movement this time?"

The servant said: "The Zhang family has already taken responsibility. Ling Feng and Li Ming are fine. Naturally, they don't need to come forward..."

Prince Duan sat down in frustration and asked, "What did the Tang family say?"

The servant said: "The two Tang lords said that there will be many opportunities in the future, and we will have a long time ahead."

King Duan asked: "What else?"

The servant thought for a while and said: "They also said that His Highness should eat well, drink well and sleep well in the palace, and don't act rashly."

…

Tang Zhai.

Tang Huai had a regretful expression on his face and shook his head: "These two little foxes were indeed not fooled. Not only that, even Prince Kang was so calm..."

Tang Qi looked at him and said: "Kang Kang is busy with the ceremony in Zongzheng Temple these days. Maybe he doesn't know about it at all. But the Zhang family, even taking the blame for something that is not their own, is willing to be a tortoise... …”

Tang Zhao raised his head and said: "As the saying goes, a thousand-year-old tortoise and a ten-thousand-year-old turtle will live longer if they shrink their heads. No matter whether the opponent is a tiger or a wild dog, as long as they shrink their heads, who can take advantage of the turtle?"

He shook his head and said, "If the Tang family had been willing to be turtles, they wouldn't have ended up like today..."

[PS: The next plot has not been finalized, and there is still no update today, but don’t worry, I said it will be completed in May, and it will be completed in May. 】
