Chapter 146 Tang Brothers and Sisters (two chapters in one)

Xie Yuanfang finally opened her eyes.

The Tai Hospital's collective rescue efforts on his back stabilized the injury, but the fever that lasted for half a month destroyed the nerves and acupuncture points, and he could no longer practice martial arts.

Xiao Luo sat beside the hospital bed, his heart full of bitterness and heaviness.

The battle at Qin Tianjian was a tragic one. He was injured, Xie Yuanfang almost died, and Qi Tianchen lost his internal strength.

Although Mo Yi was killed, no one has unlocked the Nether Spell, and Sikong Qianruo still doesn't know how to awaken it.

Emperor Ming had several large bowls of blood drawn and lay back on the dragon couch. Xiao Luo had no choice but to go to court with a bandage wrapped around him to deal with the mountain of government affairs.

Fortunately, the great scholar Chen Deming arrived, and all the affairs of Chunwei were handed over to him.

"Is Your Highness okay?"

Xiao Luo stretched out his hand to hold Xie Yuanfang: "I am fine, thank you for your life-saving grace."

Xie Yuanfang smiled: "Your Highness is good, we are good."

Xiao Luo couldn't bear to tell him about the damage to his martial arteries, so he consoled him: "You should rest well and come back to duty after you recover."

After reading Xie Yuanfang, Xiao Luo returned to the East Palace study room.

Mu Xiaofan was waiting for him: "Your Highness, Prince Bai, Prince Xiao and Prince Chang'an have all raided the palaces. The money obtained, as well as the catalog of antiques, calligraphy and paintings are all here."

Xiao Luo took the brochure he handed over and asked, "Is it enough for disaster relief?"

"That's enough. The three governments have confiscated a total of 13 million li, and only 8 million li are needed for disaster relief. The rest is all put into the national treasury."

"Spend 500,000 yuan to rebuild the Qintian Prison, mainly the Haobai Building, and let Feixuan do it."

"yes."

"There are also pensions and treatment fees for the injured and wounded Imperial Guards, which must also be paid."

"According to the decree."

Antiques, calligraphy and paintings, three princes' mansions, and the Lanyuehou Mansion are not easy to deal with.

Xiao Luo thought, it's time to meet Miss Wei.

After finishing his business at the Ministry of Finance, he picked up the memorial on his desk. The top one read "Chun Wei Yi" and was signed by Chen Deming.

Tang Lianyue was also reading official documents.

Several thick books were piled on the desk, and a handful of counters were placed next to them.

Perhaps the accounts in the booklet were wrong. Tang Lianyue grabbed the chips and beat them randomly, then stopped and frowned as she looked at the numbers on the chips.

At this moment, the guard came to report in a panic: "Master, something happened, the eldest young master is dead!"

"What!"

Tang Lianyue threw down the booklet and stood up suddenly.

"The eldest young master died in Xiao Penglai in Taiping Town. The murderer and witnesses are on their way to be escorted. They are about to enter the city. Will they be taken to the execution hall or somewhere?"

The headquarters of Tangmen is divided into war hall, work hall, punishment hall and training hall.

The War Hall is in charge of external warfare and internal protection, while the Work Hall is in charge of construction projects, as well as supervising the production of hidden weapons, poisons, etc.

The Criminal Hall is the department that detects thieves and rewards and punishes members. Local criminal cases in the Tongliang Mountains will also be handed over to the Criminal Department for processing.

The training hall is a place where young disciples are trained and taught martial arts.

Each of the four halls has its own office area.

Tang Lianyue thought for a moment and said: "Take him to Guangyang Hall and invite three elders and four hall masters to come here together."

Xiao Han Jiyao followed six disciples, escorted Mu Duan, and rode into the Tang Sect headquarters.

The Tongliang Mountains are very large, and the real jurisdiction of the Tang Sect is at the southern foot of the Bayue Peak. It is backed by mountains and faces water, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Therefore, instead of building a tall city wall, it looks like a very wealthy family, with various direct families living together.

Each family has its own courtyard, which together form a small town.

The headquarters is a huge courtyard of ten feet, divided into an outer courtyard and an inner courtyard.

The outer courtyard handles affairs and the inner courtyard houses people. Tang Lianyue and Mrs. Tang all live in the inner courtyard of the headquarters.

The Tang Sect had already received the tip-off, and the guards refused to listen to the six disciples' excuses and took them all to Guangyang Hall.

Entering the hall, Xiao Han saw Tang Lianyue at a glance.

After more than ten years of separation, Tang Lian Yue is now in her forties, wearing a thin dark purple robe. Her originally fair face is now covered with frost, and a short beard on her lips adds to her majesty.

In addition to Tang Lianyue, there were also the three elders of the Tang clan who had met in Leijiabao.

In addition, there are four older men and a young girl.

Tang Lianyue was stunned when she saw Xiao Han.

However, the three elders of the Tang family did not pay attention and threw themselves on Tang Wenxing's body, cursing and crying.

Tang Lianyue coughed and bowed to Xiao Han first: "Why are you here, Your Highness?"

Xiao Han winked and replied: "I was passing through Taiping Town and happened to see the unfortunate death of the young master, so I followed him to be a witness."

After hearing Tang Lianyue's words, the three elders of the Tang family finally came to their senses and immediately shouted: "Chang'an Wang Xiaohan, why did you come to Tangmen!"

"Xiao Han, did you kill Wenxing?"

"You must have killed the eldest young master!"

"shut up!"

Tang Lianyue shouted angrily: "Let the people who followed the young master speak first!"

Several disciples knelt down on the ground and told the story about Xiao Penglai. Tang Wenxing asked about the details in the room, and several disciples said they didn't know.

When he asked the murderer again, Mu Duan knew that he could not escape, so he told him everything about the copper mine.

"Nonsense, how could Wenxing covet your money? It's obviously your slander!"

Tang Bubei jumped up and immediately punched Mu Duan.

Unexpectedly, a white hand stretched out from beside him and stopped Tang Bubei. It was the young girl.

She looked to be less than twenty. She was wearing a white gauze cover with a purple tube top, and the middle part was covered with tulle. She looked unusually cool in this late spring and early summer season.

There was a black cloth bag hanging on his waist, and I didn't know what kind of hidden weapon it contained.

Looking at her face again, she has willow eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes, a clever smile, and she seems to have a thousand kinds of charm. Her naked arms are like a few segments of white lotus roots, and her slender fingers are covered with bright kodan.

I just heard her say in a gentle voice: "Uncle, don't be anxious. When you get here, are you still afraid of escaping?"

After listening to her words, Tang Bubei seemed to calm down, glared at Mu Duan, and stepped aside.

Tang Lianyue then asked Xiao Han: "His Highness said that he was a witness, so he must know the truth of the matter?"

Xiao Han nodded, took a step forward, and hugged the four silent people. He glanced at the woman who just spoke and said in a deep voice: "Junior sister and I happened to be eating at Xiao Penglai. Young Master Li and this Mu

The private room where the leader of the village was having a private conversation was very close, and I overheard..."

He repeated what he heard in detail.

Mu Duan kept nodding: "That's it, that's it... I was so angry that I acted impulsively. The ten thousand silver coins were collected by everyone in our village. If the eldest young master took it away, how should I explain it to the brothers in the village?"

."

Everyone knew about Tang Wenxing's virtues, and everyone sighed when they saw him die in such a way.

Tang Lianyue stopped the three elders of the Tang family from making noise and asked: "Master Wenyao, what do you mean?"

Tang Wenyao, the leader of the execution hall, was a selfless old man who had been in charge of the punishment hall for more than thirty years. He immediately replied: "Killing people must pay for their lives."

When Mu Duan heard that murder must be paid with life, he immediately collapsed on the ground.

The motive and process were clear. Tang Lianyue asked: "Do you still have different opinions?"

Everyone shook their heads.

Xiao Han frowned. Although it was Mu Duan who committed the murder, there was a reason and he should not be killed.

He looked at Tang Lianyue.

Tang Lianyue suddenly blinked at him, Xiao Han's heart moved, and he said: "I am an outsider, I shouldn't comment, but the dead man is already dead, and Mujiazhai is a sect under Tangmen, why not give it to Muzhai

Give me a chance."

Tang Lianyue asked: "What are your high opinions, Your Highness?"

"I heard that the Tang Sect's business has been repeatedly hampered recently and that various supplies are in short supply. It would be better to ask the leader of the village Mu to perform meritorious service and redeem himself with money."

When Mu Duan heard this, he immediately got up and shouted: "Give me the copper mine, and I will hand over 50% of the profit every year! No, 60%!"

"fart!"
