The construction time of the imperial capital is very tight. Long Feiye has urged Tang Zijin twice. Everyone thought that Tang Zijin would stay in the imperial capital this year and would not return to the Tang Sect for the New Year. But who knew, on the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, Tang Zijin suddenly appeared at the gate of Tang Lizai's courtyard.
Tranquility held Xiaotangtang in one hand and Tang Li in the other, and ran into Tang Zijin just as she was leaving the house. Tang Zijin was sullen and serious.
Tranquility was slightly startled, but Tang Li didn't react at all. But Xiaotangtang cried happily, "Grandpa... Grandpa..."
"Father, you are back." Tranquility blessed her body.
Unfortunately, Tang Zijin ignored Xiao Tangtang and her, his eyes fell on his son. Since he learned that his son had died because of Tranquility, this was the first time he had seen his son.
He has always been full of anger towards Tang Li's son, hating that iron can't be turned into steel!
He escaped marriage back then, and he endured it.
Later, he was poisoned by Tranquility and had to marry someone, but he also endured it.
He hoped that Tang Li could take advantage of the tranquility, get the benefits of the Di Clan, and follow Long Feiye's "brother" to fight for Tang Sect's merits and come back with a title of prince, he would be lucky! How could he become stupid because of Tranquility, lose his parents, lose the Tang Sect, become so stupid! Is it tolerable or unbearable!
Tang Zijin stared at it, and Tang Zijin walked in step by step, Tang Li remained indifferent. This is quite similar to when he was not stupid. Generally, he would not directly conflict with his father, either let his father scold him, or hide away.
"Grandpa... Grandpa... hug!"
"Grandpa, hug... hug..."
Xiao Tangtang started to make a fuss, the little baby was ignorant, and hadn't seen grandpa for a long time, so she wanted to be hugged by grandpa.
"Tranquility, don't take the child away yet."
Tang Zijin didn't even look at Xiaotangtang, Tranquility felt sorry for Xiaotangtang, but he didn't have much, so he wanted to leave with Xiaotangtang in his arms.
She would not interfere with their father and son's affairs, no matter how much Tang Zijin did, he would not dare to really do anything to Tang Li. Only Tang Li could piss Tang Zijin to death, not Tang Zijin could piss Tang Li to death.
But who knew, as soon as Tranquility let go of Tang Li's hand, Tang Li took her hand and wanted to go with her. Tranquility broke away without making a sound.
Tang Li didn't hold Tranquility's hand either, but when he followed Tranquility out, his eyes never focused on Tang Zijin. He walked past Tang Zijin, completely treating Tang Zijin as air.
Tang Zijin finally got angry, "Nie Zi, stop!"
Tranquility continued to walk, and Tang Li continued to follow, no one paid any attention to him. Tang Zijin waited for a long time, turned around when he saw no movement behind him, and saw Tang Li followed Ning Jing out of the courtyard.
"Nie Zi! You don't even recognize your father!" He was so angry that his face turned blue, and he chased him out. However, Tang Li just didn't respond.
Tang Zijin finally couldn't help it, and said angrily, "Ningjing, stop!"
Tranquility stopped, and Tang Li immediately followed. Seeing this scene, Tang Zijin sneered. Although he was not in the Tang Sect, he was always concerned about Tang Li's situation. Sure enough, Tang Li was so stupid that he only listened to Tranquility.
"Come here, take Tangtang away. Today, this old man must teach this scoundrel a lesson and wake him up!" Tang Zijin said loudly.
Xiaotangtang couldn't understand what grandpa said, but it was obvious that grandpa was scolding daddy, so she cried in fright. She wrestled away her mother's hand and rushed towards her father.
Tang Li is stupid, but he still loves his wife and daughter. He hugged Xiao Tangtang and murmured to coax him, "Don't cry, don't cry. Daddy will take you to play. Don't cry, okay?"
"Okay." Xiaotang Tangnan's voice was accompanied by crying, which almost melted her heart.
Tang Li said to Tranquility, "You, go too, okay?"
Tang Zijin was so angry that smoke came out of his nostrils, Ning Jing couldn't laugh or cry, she asked loudly, "A Li, your father wants to talk to you, you stay here, okay?"
Tang Li shook his head immediately. Tang Zijin was so angry that he immediately took his sword and slapped Tang Li. Tang Li immediately hid, his movements were so flexible that Tang Zijin couldn't do anything about him.
The father and son chased and ran around the yard, and the tranquility that was originally heavy-hearted suddenly burst out laughing out of nowhere. Xiao Tangtang was still scared at first, but it was obvious that Daddy hadn't been hit, so she giggled, "Daddy, run, run! Run!"
When Mrs. Tang rushed over after hearing the news, Tang Zijin was already out of breath, resting with his long sword on his shoulders, while Tang Li stood far away, staring at him in a daze.
If Tang Li's expression could be ignored, Madam Tang would be familiar with this scene! She was funny and wanted to cry, she had forgotten how old Tang Li was, Tang Zijin couldn't catch up with her son.
"Master, don't tell me when you'll be back." Mrs. Tang said.
Tang Zijin looked back and said coldly, "Thanks to you!"
After he finished speaking, he walked away angrily, leaving Mrs. Tang with a dazed expression on her face, at a loss for what to do.
We haven't seen each other for more than half a year, let's forget that Tang Zijin doesn't want her, but he shows her face like this? When Mrs. Tang was wronged, tears came to her eyes.
"Tang Zijin, stop! What did you just say?" She chased after him angrily.
Tranquility breathed a sigh of relief, she knew Tang Zijin was afraid. She thought that as long as her secret was not exposed, at least Mrs. Tang would still stand by her side. With Mrs. Tang, a mother-in-law, protecting them, Tang Zijin should not be able to make things difficult for them.
However, Tranquility soon realized that she was thinking too simply. In the afternoon, Tang Zijin sent someone to invite Tranquility to the study, and told Tranquility to go there by herself.
Xiaotangtang was still sleeping, while Tang Li was fiddling with his hidden weapon. Tranquility winked at the maid and sneaked away.
Who knew, Tang Li appeared at the door as soon as she got to the study and took her seat. He walked up to Tranquility, stared at Tranquility, and didn't move.
Tranquility knew what he meant, and quickly explained, "I think you're busy, so I didn't bother you."
Only then did Tang Li retreat behind Tranquility and stand there. De Ning pulled him to sit down, and he sat down beside him. He lowered his head as soon as he sat down, as if immersed in his own world. Apparently, his world is only open to Serenity and Little Sugar.
Mrs. Tang was used to it long ago, but Tang Zijin became more and more annoyed! What has become of his son, Master Tang Sect
"Master, don't you have something to ask?" Mrs. Tang said.
Tranquility was very surprised. She thought Mrs. Tang would know what Tang Zijin was looking for her. Now it seems that Tang Zijin was also looking for Mrs. Tang.
"The batch of weapons to be handed over recently, who advocated selling them from outside?" Tang Zijin asked straight to the point, with a very stern tone.
After the spring of the Chinese New Year, the Tang Sect had to hand over a large amount of weapons to the imperial court. The last time there was a problem with the raw materials, the repurchase of raw materials, plus the transport to the Tang Sect, was delayed for nearly a month. According to the previous progress, it is too late to rush to work no matter what.
Mrs. Tang was very worried, so Tranquility gave an idea to let the Tang Sect buy it from other military equipment, buy it back, make some modifications, print the Tang Sect logo, and then hand it over to the court.
At this moment, the large batch of weapons had already been put into storage, and Tranquility gave Mrs. Tang another idea, asking Mrs. Tang to pay more wages for the disciples, and let everyone rush to work until the eve of the New Year before resting. Tranquility has counted, as long as the progress is made in the past few days, the delivery will definitely be delivered on time.
What does it mean that Tang Zijin came to investigate this matter now
Tranquility was about to answer, but Mrs. Tang preempted, "My idea!"
As she answered, she winked at Tranquility, Tranquility immediately realized that things were not that simple.
"You?" Tang Zijin sneered, "When did Madam become so smart? Can you buy so many weapons at such a low price?"
"Tang Zijin, what do you mean? Co-author, you always thought I was stupid?" Mrs. Tang was furious and slapped the table heavily.
Tang Zijin coughed a few times in embarrassment, "Ma'am, someone has already reported this matter to His Highness. I came here on a special trip to investigate this matter, and you still haven't told me the truth! How can I help you? Are the batch of weapons you bought back second-hand?"
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Tang and Ning Jing were shocked.
The war had just ended, and several major weapon shops were out of stock, and Tranquility's own weapon shop was already out of stock, otherwise she wouldn't have to find someone else to buy it. With great difficulty, she contacted a Chen's military equipment company that had the goods, but learned that the goods were second-hand, picked up from the battlefield and re-cleaned and polished.
Tranquility discussed this matter with Mrs. Tang, and after analyzing the pros and cons, they decided to buy it back.
Tranquility was no longer calm, and asked coldly, "The things haven't been handed over to the imperial court, who is suing?"
"Regardless of whether things are handed over or not, since the Tang Sect is in charge of Daqin's weapons, any weapon in the Tang Sect belongs to the imperial court!" Tang Zijin said with a serious face, "Tranquility, this is not what it used to be, you That’s all for now, if it gets out, even the queen might not be able to protect you!”
Tang Zijin's words were not pleasant, but they were very reasonable.
The Tang Sect is in charge of the military equipment of the Great Qin Dynasty, including the production, storage, and distribution of military equipment in cooperation with the military department. After Han Yunxi gave that order back then, and after the household department allocated money to the Tang Sect, the Tang Sect was also considered a member of the military department.
If according to Tranquility, the weapons in the Tang Sect are not considered to belong to the imperial court before they are handed over, then who does the weapons in the Tang Sect count as? Hiding weapons or providing them to others is not a small crime, and you will definitely be accused of treason!
Tranquility is a smart person who understands as soon as he hears it. In the past, Long Feiye and Han Yunxi could dictate everything. Now that they are the Great Qin Emperor, they can even dictate all affairs of the Great Qin. However, they cannot be dictatorial for no reason. Their decisions must be convinced by the public.
Tranquility admitted lightly, "I don't blame my mother for this matter, it was my idea. I originally planned to wait until the New Year passed before reporting this matter to the queen. At the beginning of the country, a lot of waste was waiting to be done, and the queen had long advocated increasing income and reducing expenditure. If you re-polish your weapons, they can still be used, so why waste them?"
"The imperial court gave it money for a single weapon." Tang Zijin said coldly.
"The silver used for second-hand weapons is less than one-third of the cost of first-hand weapons. I have already calculated this account, and the account book is in my study. When I hand in the weapons, I will attach the account book " Tranquility said seriously, she is not short of money, and she has a lot of private money, she will only help Han Yunxi save money, and cannot be greedy.
Tang Zijin shook his head again and again, "Ning Jing, you are so smart that you were foolish for the rest of your life! The person who sued, sue me for the Tang Sect to make up his own mind, to kill first and then play, to deceive the superior and the inferior, and to despise the majesty of the emperor! Tell me, should the old man hand you over, or hand over your wife? go out?"
Tranquility and Mrs. Tang were still taken aback, how could it be... like this
Tang Zijin said again, "Do you know who is the one who complained to the emperor?"
"Who is it?" Mrs. Tang asked quickly.
Tang Zijin sneered, "People from the Yunkong Chamber of Commerce!"
