The words that the murderer scolded when King Xin was assassinated quickly spread throughout the capital. In addition, the murderer chose to commit suicide after missing a single blow. His expression was both grief and despair, which made the people who witnessed the scene believe his words again. a few points.
Tang Junyao couldn't believe that Tang Huaiyao would recklessly assassinate King Xin. She hurried back home and informed Tang Songnian of the incident.
Rao Tang Songnian has always been able to keep his face unchanged even when Mount Tai collapsed, but at this moment his face changed slightly.
"Stupid! It's so stupid!" He said bitterly, and then he didn't have time to say more, and hurried out the door.
"Is what you said true? Second brother, did he really assassinate the King of Letters in the street?" Tang Junyu came over at some point, her face pale, and she asked with a trembling voice.
"I don't need to joke about this kind of thing." Tang Junyao replied lightly.
Tang Junyu's throat choked, and her emaciated body trembled more and more.
Suddenly, she grabbed her arm and pleaded with a wailing voice: "Save him, please save him, I kowtow to you, I kowtow to you!"
After she finished speaking, she really knelt on the ground with a plop, and kowtowed to Tang Yunyao.
Tang Junyao turned sideways and said coldly, "What are you trying to do? Do you want to force us to promise to save people?"
"I'm not, I..." Tang Yunyu wanted to explain, but was interrupted by her.
"Tang Junyu, I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, I'm a cold-hearted person, I only care about the people I care about, and whether others live or die has nothing to do with me. My father and brother will not be implicated, and for the sake of being at peace with each other for many years, we will also help each other."
"However, if his reckless assassination will have even the slightest impact on my father and brother, even if you kneel to death in front of my eyes, I will never let them take care of this kind of business!" Her eyes were sharp, and Literally.
Tang Junyu's face turned blue and then white. After a long time, she slowly stood up and said in a low voice, "You've always been like this, since you were a child, no one cares, no one pays attention."
"But despite this, you can easily have a lot of good things that others can't get in your life, such as your background, status, connections, and even looks. It really makes people jealous."
"Including you?" Tang Junyao asked lightly.
"Yeah, including me." Tang Junyu admitted.
How can you not be jealous? Especially as the official of the third uncle became bigger and bigger, and Tang Junyao gradually entered the class of noble women that she had no contact with at all, this kind of jealousy became deeper and deeper.
She wiped the tears from her eyes, sniffed, and whispered again: "Maybe this is the blessing you cultivated in your previous life, no matter how jealous others are."
A blessing from a previous life? Tang Junyao pouted the corners of his mouth like he was mocking himself.
Based on what she did in her previous life, she really didn't know how to cultivate the blessings of this life.
When Tang Songnian came back in the evening, she seized the opportunity to ask him about Tang Huaiyao, and when she entered the study, she saw Tang Huaizhou was there.
Tang Songnian knew the intentions of his sons and daughters, so he took the initiative to say without waiting for them to speak: "You don't have to worry about Huaiyao. King Xin's injury is not serious. He is alive, and Huaiyao will naturally have vitality."
"What I'm worried about is another thing. The second brother's shamelessness in calling King Poxin this time. Even if King Xin's reputation is damaged, I don't know that it won't affect the daughters of Tang Mansion, especially Baoya, if innocently suffer... "Tang Huaizhou worried about Zhong Zhong.
"It's okay, King Xin will naturally cover it up for us." Tang Songnian said indifferently.
Tang Huaiyi was stunned, and before he could understand, he heard Tang Junyao laugh and said, "Dad's words are very true, and Wang Xin is more afraid of implementing what the second brother said than we are. If I guess correctly, it won't be long before he They will try to cite the uncle's loss of office as a cause for concern."
After all, Tang Huaiyao's revenge was attracted because he justly dismissed Tang Bainian, which was more relevant than the real reason.
Tang Songnian expressed his approval.
Only in this way can we explain Tang Huaiyao's assassination motive, and restore some of the reputation of King Xin, at least the face will be more decent.
"If everything goes well, what kind of judgment will the second brother have?" Tang Junyao asked.
Tang Songnian sighed: "The best outcome is just exile. This child is a bit reckless. Under the eyes of the public, even if the person is not killed, the law will not forgive him lightly."
And because of his relationship with Tang Huaiyao, many eyes in the court were staring at him, and he was not suitable for interfering too much.
The Tang Huaizhou brothers and sisters looked at each other and fell silent.
Tang Huaiyao's assassination of King Xin was unsuccessful and he was caught alive. Naturally, Tang Bainian's ears were quickly heard. Tang Bainian was so angry that he yelled at him as a 'reverse son', and even shouted that he would cut off his father-son relationship with him and expel him from his clan so as not to be punished. This unworthy child is dragged down.
But it was rare for Mrs. Li to quarrel with him arrogantly. She only said that if he dared to excommunicate his son, she would stab him out of the shameful things he had done over the years.
Anyway, her three children, the eldest son and the daughter were all destroyed. If the only one left was destroyed, what else would she care about.
Tang Bainian's eyes were filled with her ruthlessness that gave her everything, and it really made him feel a little bit afraid.
In the end, he didn't dare to really force Mrs. Li, so he could only bluff and swear for a while, and then angrily went to the concubine's house that had been admitted not long ago.
It was not until he left that Mrs. Li slumped down on the Taishi chair, covering her face and crying silently.
All three of her children are ruined, all ruined...
Although Tang Bainian did not dare to sever the father-son relationship seriously, but Chen Guangjie was different. After hearing that Tang Huaiyao assassinated Wang Xinbucheng and was arrested by the government, for fear that his family would be implicated by the Tang family, he forced Chen Zhaoyong to divorce his wife without saying a word.
As soon as he said the divorce, he thought it was a really good idea. Put Tang Junyu off, whether she injured King Xin earlier, or Tang Huaiyao assassinated King Xin, they have nothing to do with their Chen family.
But Chen Zhaoyong refused to agree no matter how he tried to persuade him or how he beat and scolded him, and he became more and more angry.
"Nizi, do you want our whole family to be buried with the Tang family?!"
Chen Zhaoyong pursed his lips tightly and did not speak.
"You don't want to leave, right? Well, then get out, I don't have your son anymore, and you are no longer from the Chen family!" Chen Guangjie was furious.
The concubine, who was passing by the window with her newborn son in her arms, rolled her eyes and suddenly had an idea in her heart.
Since King Xin was injured, he has been staying in the palace to recuperate. He was unable to have sex, and the concubines of the palace were relieved.
The bead in Princess Xin's hand was spinning rapidly, and she was chanting words in her mouth, turning a blind eye to Tang Junrou, who came to provoke her.
Tang Jun was furious, but he had no choice but to take her. Although she has actually mastered the back house of Prince Xin's mansion, she is still a concubine in terms of status.
She glanced at Princess Xin resentfully.
No wonder His Highness hated her so much. Outside, her mother's family not only did not help His Highness, but also became a drag on His Highness; inside, she could neither fulfill her responsibilities as a princess nor serve His Highness well.
She is obviously a sick child who cannot be separated from medicine, but she has always occupied the position of the princess and refused to die.
"It's almost time for His Highness to take the medicine. I'm not as leisurely as the Princess, and His Highness will never be away from anyone for a moment, so I will say goodbye." He proudly dropped the words before leaving.
"Her brother assassinated King Xin, and King Xin Mingming took his anger on her earlier. Not only has he not been angry, but he has fallen in love with her again. This seems a little wrong!" Qiu Ping was puzzled.
"Naturally, it's because our concubine concubine has good tactics, and it's comfortable to serve the wolves who are injured and can't act. If you serve people at night, naturally your waist will be straight during the day." Princess Xin was not nervous. Not slow and authentic.
Qiuping was dumbfounded.
"Then Tang Yunrou is really able to bend and stretch, it's not easy!" After a long time, she sighed, even if she didn't like Tang Yunrou, she had to write to her.
It was the first time she had met such a 'strange woman' who was 'indomitable'.
"Stop things! Do the math, it's almost time." Princess Xin suddenly whispered.
Qiuping understood what she was referring to and nodded: "Don't worry, Princess."
King Xin was not seriously injured and did not worry about his life, and the perpetrators were all the nephews of Master Tang, which made the officials who tried the case in a dilemma, not knowing whether the sentence should be heavier or lighter.
He hesitated, so he approached Qiu Zhong, who was at odds with Tang Songnian.
Qiu Zhong just sneered and said, "You only need to remember where your salary came from, and then you will know how to deal with it."
Up to the ruler, down to the minister, food and clothing are all taken from the people, and officials should naturally act in accordance with the law and discipline.
The official slapped his forehead and suddenly woke up like a dream. After returning, he sentenced him to behead without hesitation.
Taking the royal family's salary, naturally, you should share the royal family's worries, and put the royal family's affairs first.
In the imperial study, Emperor Tianxi put down the book in his hand, looked up at Tang Songnian, who was looking down, and couldn't help asking: "Aiqing seems to have never mentioned to me the matter of Tang Huaiyao's assassination of the King of Letters."
Tang Songnian bowed his hands and said, "This minister and Huaiyao are close relatives and nephews, and their position determines that what the minister said is inevitably biased, so I dare not speak lightly."
Emperor Tianxi smiled: "You are honest. Come on, I just want to hear your biased words."
Tang Songnian said 'comply with the order', and after thinking for a while, he started from Tang Junyu accidentally hurting King Xin, until Tang Bainian lost his post and his business was damaged.
As for why Tang Junyu, a weak woman, would hurt King Xin, she ignored it.
Emperor Tianxi listened to his words quietly, without the slightest expression on his face, only nodded after he stopped talking and let him retire.
After Tang Songnian left, anger finally showed on his face.
What Tang Songnian said did not differ too much from what he could find out. Tang Songnian kept silent about the reason why Tang Junyu hurt King Xin, but it made him even more embarrassed.
As a prince, to actually want to be rude to a good family woman, it's simply...
He took a deep breath, took the imperial pen, crossed out the word 'beheading' on the booklet, and wrote the word 'exile' next to it.
Tang Songnian knew from the moment he walked out of the imperial study that Tang Huaiyao could save his life this time.
He has been waiting for His Majesty to take the initiative to ask him about this these days, because it is very clear that when His Majesty asks him, it is when the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple have made the final judgment, and he only needs to take this last step.
And he knew better that His Majesty must have checked the matter clearly and clearly early in the morning. The more vague he was about the cause of the matter, the more annoyed His Majesty, who knew everything, the more annoyed His Majesty was at King Xin, and Huaiyao's vitality was here. In one fell swoop.
He walked out of the palace gate and was about to get on the sedan chair to return to the mansion, when the guards in the mansion hurried over and whispered to him.
"What?!" Tang Songnian's expression changed after hearing this, "Is the news accurate?"
"It's absolutely true! I believe that the person sent by the princess to invite the imperial doctor is still halfway there."
As soon as Emperor Tianxi's imperial criticism of Tang Huaiyao's exiled Zhezi was sent back to Dali Temple, the news of King Xin's death in Ma Feng had already reached the palace.
Wang Xin's biological mother, Concubine Yao, spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted on the spot.
