Konoha Hypocrite Uchiha Tonan

Of course, Tang Ning righteously rejected Xiao Jue's request.

He and Mrs. Xiao Yi Xiaoru Tang Yaoyao couldn't sleep together, so why did he sleep with Xiao Jue?

However, Tangning still gave him an idea. ?

The Ximen Guards had just been formed. As the general of the Ximen Guards, Xiao Jue ate and slept with the soldiers of the Ximen Guards for several days. This was not an unexplainable reason.

After Xiao Jue left, Tang Ning continued to think about the problem just now.

Ever since King Kang rebelled and Emperor Chen made him right minister, he has been unable to be promoted or rewarded unless he gives up his throne to him, which is of course impossible.

At this time, if you make some mistakes appropriately, you can show that you are already arrogant, arrogant, and arrogant, and you don't need any more rewards from him. This can also be a reassurance for Chen Huang.

Of course, Tang Ning didn't think that much when she asked Song Yi to release him.

There are only a few people in this world who treat him well without asking for anything in return. How can he let them suffer?

However, the Zhou family still had to make some arrangements.

Zhou family.

As relatives of the emperor and the natal family of the current Queen Mother, the Zhou family has been low-key for many years, but it has also been glorious and prominent.

However, as an era passed, the Zhou family had no successors. In this generation, the number of people was even thinner, with only one seedling growing, which was considered a complete decline.

In a few years, when the Queen Mother and Her Majesty are no longer around, the Zhou family will become the lowest echelon of powerful people in the capital.

But at least now, they still have the Queen Mother as their backer in the palace.

At this time, Zhou Qing, the only child of the Zhou family, was lying on the bed with a bruised nose and a swollen face. One arm and thigh were tightly wrapped in white cloth, and he let out several painful groans from time to time.

"My poor son..." An old woman beside the bed said loudly with tears in her eyes: "That woman actually dealt such a harsh hand to Qing'er, I must not let her go!"

Another old man said with a sullen face: "I have told the Ministry of Punishment that this case will be severely punished. The Tang family is now in decline. I don't think the Ministry of Punishment will protect her. Qing'er's revenge will be avenged soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, a servant hurried in and said loudly: "Master, master, it's not good, that Tang Shui has been released by the Ministry of Punishment!"

"What!" The old man looked gloomy and asked, "Are you sure?"

"It's absolutely true." The servant said: "I saw with my own eyes that Tang Shui and Princess Anyang were walking on the street. There is no mistake."

"What is the Criminal Department doing!" The old man snorted coldly and said, "I'll ask Song Yi what he means!"

……

From the Ministry of Punishment, Song Yi looked at the angry old man and said, "Gong Zhao, please calm down. This matter was ordered by Prime Minister Tang, and the Ministry of Punishment was just following orders..."

The old man's expression froze and he asked: "Tang Xiang?"

Song Yi nodded.

Who is the Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty in Song Yi's mouth? The old man naturally knows it in his heart. He has been at the forefront of every major event that happened in Beijing in recent years. In the past two years, he has fought against the Tang family, King Duan, King Kang, and Jiangnan. One party fought against the powerful and powerful in the capital, and the fights continued. None of his opponents had a good ending, but he himself had already occupied a high position below one person and above ten thousand people.

If there was someone in the capital that he didn't want to provoke, Tangning would definitely be at the top of the list.

His expression changed, and after making some decisions in his mind, he smiled dryly and said: "Since it was Prime Minister Tang who spoke, let's forget about it. It is normal for young people to have conflicts..."

He cupped his hands to Song Yi and said, "I'm back."

Song Yi knew that he didn't want to offend Tang Ning, so he smiled, cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Zhao, go slowly..."

……

Tang Ning already knew from Princess Anyang and Tang Shui that what happened this time was really their fault.

The cause of the matter was simple. The servants of the Zhou family were selling slaves from the Western Regions on the streets. Tang Shui couldn't stand it, so he stepped forward to argue with them.

Who would have thought that the servants of the Zhou family did not know the Capital Witch at all, and would attack the witch whenever they disagreed, and there were many dirty words against the two women. Tang Shui naturally wanted to fight back. Seeing that she was very powerful, the servants of the Zhou family They wanted to bully the few with the many, but in the end, all of them, including their young master, were defeated.

It would be wrong to say that the responsibility lies with Tang Shui. After all, she had tried to reason with the other party, and it was the other party who made the move first, but the result was that the young master of the Zhou family and his servants were destroyed, and she was left intact. This responsibility was shirked. Don't fall off.

Fortunately, she was careful in her approach. As long as Zhou Qing's bones were reattached and rested for a period of time, they would recover and they would not become disabled and affect their future lives.

Even so, Tangning still sent a large cart of gifts to the Zhou family.

Most of these gifts were precious tonic herbs. In terms of value, they were enough to fracture Zhou Qing's bones hundreds of times. The Zhou family seemed unwilling to worry about it anymore and accepted the gifts without saying anything. Princess Anyang expected that The thing didn't happen.

In the small courtyard, Tang Ning looked at Tang Shui and said, "Even if you have to take action in the future, you have to do it gently, and don't just try to take advantage of others..."

Tang Shui lowered his head and said, "I understand..."

Then she looked at Tangning and said, "There is something I want to ask you for."

"Remove the word "begging"." Tangning looked at her and said, "As a family, you don't have to be so polite."

Tang Shui raised his head and said, "I want to help those Western Region slaves in the capital..."

Tang Ning could understand her thoughts. Tang Shui was originally from the Western Regions, and it was normal for him to feel compassion for those from the Western Regions.

The sale of human beings is legal in Chen State. Of course, the premise is that you are willing to do so and not through illegal means such as deception and abduction.

Many poor families, unable to make ends meet, would choose to sell their daughters to wealthy families as maids, but the situation in the Western Regions was different.

The environment in the Western Regions is difficult, and merchants from the Chen Kingdom often go deep into the Western Regions, buy some women from the Western Regions, bring them back to the capital, and sell them to high-ranking officials as maids or concubines...

Ever since Chen Guo and Xiaowan became hostile, these people were not willing to pay even a little extra cost. They went directly to the Western Regions to plunder the Xiaowan people. The men they robbed were slaves and the women were maids. The government had always ignored this.

After all, they were robbing people from the Western Regions, and the Western Regions people were enemies. In the eyes of some people, they might not even be considered human beings.

This actually reminded Tang Ning of Chen Guo a few years ago.

What Chen State is doing to the Western Regions now is exactly what the grassland has done to Chen State in recent years.

In essence, there is no difference between Chen people and Sushen people.

According to the education Tang Ning received, people are not commodities and cannot be bought or sold. Every life should be respected. However, in today's world, his ideas are too advanced.

Tang Yu walked over and said, "Since Shui'er said it, you should help her think of a solution."

Tangning turned around and said, "Mother..."

Tang Yu said: "The people in the Western Region are just like us. They are also human beings and should not be treated like this."

Tangning nodded and said, "I will find a way."

He agreed to this not only because two people who were important to him spoke out, but also for the sake of humanity in his heart.

Tang Yu sat down and said, "Your father and I were able to escape from the capital back then because of their help. This is what our Tang family owes them."

This was the first time Tang Ning heard her talk about the details of what happened back then. This was a rare opportunity. He sat down and asked, "Mom, how did you escape back then?"

Tang Yu showed a look of reminiscence on her face and said: "Back then, the relationship between the Western Regions and Chen State was not so tense. All the countries in the Western Regions sent envoys to the capital. The imperial court was also very tolerant of them and even allowed them to enter the Imperial College and Imperial College. Students from Chen Guo studied together..."

She paused for a long time before saying: "Your father met an envoy from Xiaowan at that time. They hid us in the envoy and helped us escape from the capital... …”

Tangning asked, "What happened next?"

A trace of gloom appeared on Tang Yu's face, and she said: "Later, we were found by the Tang family, and then, I was brought back by the Tang family..."

Seeing her strange expression, Tang Ning changed the subject and said, "So, that envoy from Xiaowan was indeed very kind to us. Where is he now? I must repay him if I have the chance..."

"I don't know where he is now, or whether he is dead or alive." Tang Yu shook her head and said, "Your father had a close relationship with him back then. When I fled, I was pregnant, and he also had an affair with a Chen The daughter of the country gave birth to a daughter, and they also made a stipulation that if I gave birth to a daughter, I would marry his daughter, and if it was a boy, we would let them become husband and wife in the future..."

Tangning looked surprised. He didn't expect that such a thing happened 20 years ago. He couldn't find out about it from the files of the Ministry of Justice.

There are already enough wives in the family, but I didn't expect that he would actually have a baby to kiss. However, more than 20 years later, if the girl was still alive, she must have been married long ago. Tang Ning was not worried, looked at Tang Yu and asked : "Mom, I'd like to take the liberty to ask, where is that girl now and what is her name?"
