As the old saying goes: There is nothing better than the eyes. The eyes cannot hide the evil. If the middle part of the chest is correct, the eyes will be dim. If the middle part of the chest is correct, the eyes will be dim.
There is nothing more effective in observing a person than observing the eyes, because the eyes cannot hide the evil thoughts in the heart. The eyes of a person who is magnanimous in his heart will be bright and pure, while the eyes of a person who is evil and evil in his heart will flicker unclearly. Listen to a person speak
By observing the tone of his voice and the look of his eyes, you can determine what is going on in a person's mind and what kind of person he is.
For Tang Xiaohao, this is something he has known since he was a child. Of course, there are exceptions to this. For example, his nominal grandfather Nan Rong Qufeng is a person who cannot judge good and evil simply from his eyes. However, for more than a month
Before, when Tang Xiaohao met Xiao Lingdang, the reason why he took the initiative to approach her was because of Xiao Lingdang's eyes.
Although Xiao Lingdang's eyes were very complicated at that time, those eyes were pure. They were the purest eyes Tang Xiaohao had ever seen since he was born.
Therefore, Tang Xiaohao firmly believed that everything Xiao Lingdang did to get close to him was forced.
Because of this, Tang Xiaohao did not dare to tell Tang Chen everything he learned. Because once he told his father, Xiao Lingdang would be arrested and thrown into the armored prison as soon as possible. However, he may not be able to catch the rainbow.
Sister, then there is no way to talk about catching all the masterminds behind the scenes.
Therefore, rather than letting the other party realize that they have been discovered, it is better to investigate everything that is known now and find ways to resolve the crisis.
Of course, if the mastermind behind the scenes is really Gur Ke, Tang Xiaohao has nothing to do. He can only try to cut off Gur Ke's line of control of these assassins.
However, in ten days it will be the day for Tang Xiaohao to marry Princess Baomeng. Can he do it within these ten days?
At this time, Tang Chen looked outside and said, "Your mother should be back soon."
Tang Chen's words interrupted Tang Xiaohao's thoughts: "Let me just say, no wonder you dare to call me to talk about this, it turns out she is not in the house."
Tang Chen frowned: "The ritual utensils used for your wedding were all newly cast by people from your grandpa's gift department. The emperor has also decreed that the eight ritual utensils can be gilded, because the process is a bit troublesome and the time is a bit tight.
Therefore, your mother went to see for herself."
Ritual vessels have emerged since the Kunlun Dynasty. At that time, they were mainly wine vessels. When the Kunlun Dynasty was at its peak, food vessels were added, thus establishing the rule that ritual vessels from all directions were required for sacrifices. This rule continued later.
Sacrifice, weddings, etc. in all dynasties have been based on this.
The eight ritual vessels are divided into 匜yi, plate, guigui, dun, tripod, dou, jue and zun.
The 匜yi is used for watering during rituals; the plate is a utensil for washing hands and holding water; the gui is used to hold rice and food; the dun is also a food vessel, used to hold rice, beams and other staple foods; the tripod is used to hold meat
The bean looks like a tall plate and is used to hold meat sauce or meat soup; the jue is the earliest wine vessel, that is, the wine glass; the zun is a large wine vessel.
In the past dynasties of Jiuyuan, only nobles were able to use eight-sided ritual utensils. Later, in order to distinguish their status, the standards were set for the royal family to use pure gold and the royal family members to use bronze utensils. This time, Tang Xiaohao was getting married, and the emperor decreed that it was allowed to be held in
The surface of the copperware is gilded, which is enough to show its importance and recognition of Princess Baomeng's identity.
As soon as he said this, Nanrong Wenjun and Tang Weige walked into the study.
Tang Chen went up to greet him: "Madam, how is the casting of the ritual vessels going?"
Nanrong Wenjun simply replied: "We should be able to catch up. Also, the common people outside have given your son a new nickname, called Pink Gold Prince Consort."
Tang Chen just smiled awkwardly when he heard this, while Tang Weige was full of ridicule.
Nanrong Wenjun looked at Tang Xiaohao who was standing aside: "What? Now you see me and you don't greet me anymore?"
Tang Xiaohao knelt down and said: "Son, I wish my mother well. May your mother be well."
Tang Xiaohao, who should have shown his displeasure, was now smiling, which made both Nan Rongwenjun and Tang Weige think that this kid really had no face.
The word "pin" in the four characters "Fengjin Prince Consort" means "Fen Lang", and "Fen Lang" is a man who eats soft food. As for the meaning of "Jin", although on the surface it means that the emperor and his subordinates intend to put gold on the ritual utensils, on a deeper level it is a mockery of Tang Xiaohao.
The pretty boy relies on Princess Baomeng to eat soft rice to increase his status.
Tang Xiaohao actually likes this title because it proves that his disguise has not been discovered and he doesn't care at all what others think of him.
Nan Rongwenjun said: "Get up, remember from now on, even if it's just a pretense."
Tang Chen just smiled awkwardly, while Tang Weige put away his previous ridicule and stared indifferently at Tang Xiaohao who stood up.
Nanrong Wenjun said again: "Xiao Hao, come with me to the back garden."
Tang Xiaohao stood up and glanced at Tang Chen. Tang Chen was also confused and didn't know what Nanrong Wenjun was going to do.
Tang Weige said: "Father, mother, I'm going back to my room first."
Of course Tang Chen couldn't and didn't dare to follow him, but he felt very uneasy in his heart. Sometimes even he didn't know what the person next to him was thinking and what he would do. But no matter what Nan Rong Wenjun did, he only
I hope my son can tolerate it.
Tang Xiaohao followed Nan Rong Wenjun to the back garden. When Nan Rong Wenjun walked slowly into the pavilion, Tang Xiaohao stood outside and waited.
Nanrong Wenjun took out two jade buttons, one large and one small, from his waist: "These are the sun and moon jade buttons I asked someone to make. The sun jade button is yours, and the moon jade button belongs to Princess Baomeng. Originally, according to the
The etiquette and customs should be handed over to Princess Baomeng personally by me. Even if she marries you as a princess, it is inappropriate for us to have different statuses. Therefore, I can only hand it over to you, and you will forward it to Her Royal Highness the Princess.
"
Tang Xiaohao was very surprised. He did not expect that Nan Rong Wenjun would give him a gift, and it was such a precious pair of sun and moon jade buckles.
Under the Dachang Dynasty, only nobles and nobles were qualified to wear jade. If ordinary people wore jade without permission, even if they were hiding jade, they would lose their heads. This is why the nobles never worried about their jade being stolen, because even if they were wearing jade, they would lose their heads.
Just throw it on the ground and no one would dare to pick it up.
Tang Xiaohao knelt down and raised his hands to take the pair of jade buttons. When his hands came into contact with the pair of jade buttons, he felt strange because the sun jade buttons were warm and the moon jade buttons were cold.
Nanrong Wenjun added: "The sun jade buckle is made of red jade from the Red River, and the moon jade buckle is made of cold jade from the Ruiyuan Mountains." At this point, Nanrong Wenjun paused and said, "
Mom hopes that you and Princess Baomeng’s hearts will be like the sun and the moon, and we will vow to live and die together.”
The last word for "mother" surprised Tang Xiaohao, and he immediately thanked her: "Thank you, mother."
This scene made Tang Xiaohao think that he was still in a dream. Although he didn't want to believe it, Nan Rongwenjun's words were so true that he was so moved that he still knelt down after thanking him.
Nanrong Wenjun turned and left. After walking far away, he hid behind the rockery and looked at Tang Xiaohao who was still kneeling there. There was no usual disgust in his eyes, but was full of maternal love and tenderness.
——
Tang Xiaohao returned to the room, lying on the bed and looking at the pair of jade buttons, still doubting that Nan Rongwenjun had a hidden meaning. Suddenly, he suddenly thought that he was so moved after taking the jade pendant that he couldn't kneel down.
This behavior is obviously inconsistent with his usual style.
Finished the bird egg! Tang Xiaohao stood up holding the jade button. Was that a test? Isn’t it?
After thinking about it, Tang Xiaohao felt that he might have been worrying too much. The most important thing now was to find out the identity of Sister Hong, and cutting off the line that controlled the little bell was the top priority.
Tang Xiaohao walked to the door and looked at the little bell taking care of the flowers and plants in the garden. Something suddenly hit his heart, but the voice in his head reminded him to hold back. The environment he was in and the situation he faced did not allow it.
He really likes a girl and cannot bring his misfortune to her.
What should we do? Just when Tang Xiaohao was distressed, Tang Dun ran into the side courtyard from outside: "Master, Zheng is here soon."
When Tang Xiaohao heard the words Zheng Kuaizu, an idea flashed and he immediately asked: "Where is he?"
Tang Dun said: "In front of the mansion."
Because the wedding was approaching, Tang Chen was worried that Tang Xiaohao would get into trouble again, so he was not allowed to leave the house, and his friends were not allowed to come to the house to see him. If anything happened, they could talk in front of the house. In short, Tang Xiaohao had to be inside the house.
, visitors can only stand outside the door.
Tang Xiaohao subconsciously glanced at the little bell among the flowers not far away, and had a bad idea in his mind. He hurried to the front door of the mansion to see Zheng Kuaihua.
Zheng Kuaif’s real name is Zheng Jing, and he is a quick arrester from the Shendu City Police Department. His family is a businessman in the south of the Yangtze River, and he was originally a young master. However, this young master Zheng Jing is different from Tang Xiaohao. He has great ambitions since he was a child and wants to be a hero.
He was obsessed with martial arts and arresting techniques, so he studied with retired police officers from the Jiangnan area since he was a child. Later, he became a patrol officer and solved many cases. His family also used money to transfer him to Shendu City.
After Zheng Jing arrived in Shendu City, although he was also on patrol, the patrols in the Imperial City were much better than those in other places. However, Zheng Jing, as his name suggests, was too serious and did not understand interpersonal relationships. In the Jiangnan generation, because of his family
rich
, everyone gives him three points of face in everything, but in this Shendu City, who doesn’t have some connections? Therefore, Zheng Jing’s family background is basically of no use, so that he was transferred to Shendu City at the age of 20, and he can do a lot of work.
After five years of patrolling, he was reluctantly promoted to the rank of fast arrester.
You know, even if those policemen who were on patrol at the same time as Zheng Jing were not made arrestees, they were all arrested immediately, and their official ranks were one or two levels higher than his.
The lowest level in the arrest yamen is the patrol officer. The ones above are patrol warrants, quick arrests, quick arrest warrants, arrests, and chief arrests. Above the chief arrest are the officials in charge of the arrest yamen, and the arrest yamen are under the jurisdiction of the criminal department.
Therefore, above the officials are the left and right ministers of the Ministry of Punishment, and above that are the ministers of the Ministry of Punishment.
In fact, the status of those in the arresting yamen is relatively low. They must at least be head catchers to have a rank. The head catcher is from the ninth rank, the total arrest is only the ninth rank, and the official is the fifth rank, which is different from the above
The right and left ministers of the third rank are still two levels short.
When Tang Xiaohao arrived in front of the house, he saw Zheng Jing standing there with an anxious look on his face, and immediately stepped forward: "Zheng Jing, I'm looking for you."
Tang Xiaohao subconsciously wanted to step out of the threshold, but the armored guard at the door blocked him with his body.
The armored guard said seriously: "Sir, don't embarrass me."
Tang Xiaohao said: "Who do you think is making things difficult for whom? Okay, okay, if I don't go out, I won't even cross the threshold, right?"
After the armored guard stepped aside, Zheng Jing kept his distance and asked, "What are you looking for me for?"
Tang Xiaohao sighed: "I don't have many friends when I grow up. Aren't we about to get married? So, I plan to leave you the last night before I am single."
As soon as these words were spoken, Zheng Jing took a step back, and the armored guards at the door also turned to look at Tang Xiaohao.
Zheng Jing asked nervously: "What do you want to do?"
Tang Xiaohao reacted: "What are you thinking about? I just want to treat you to a meal to say goodbye to being single. Why are you looking for me?"
Zheng Jing walked to the threshold and whispered: "Two things, one has little relevance to you, and the other has direct relevance to you, which one do you want to listen to first?"
Tang Xiaohao looked at Zheng Jing's serious look: "I'll listen to the ones that have little to do with me first."
Zheng Jingdao: "Early this morning, several beggars came, including men, women, old and young, to arrest the Yamen and complain loudly."
Tang Xiaohao looked at Zheng Jing: "What then?"
Zheng Jing continued: "These beggars claim to be a family."
The whole family is a beggar? This is what is called a father-son soldier who goes into battle without leaving his son, and the family also has fun when begging for food? Wait a minute, beggars? It can’t be a beggar gang, right?
Tang Xiaohao immediately asked: "What next?"
Zheng Jing hesitated for a moment: "They also brought a dog and the puppy born from that dog. They said the puppy was not suitable because the dog's offspring looks like a dog and a cat."
Tang Xiaohao understood immediately, but still asked deliberately: "What do you mean?"
Zheng Jing said: "Those beggars said that the dog was also a family member of theirs, but it was spoiled by your pet cat Tangdou and gave birth to so many things that looked like cats and dogs. Now I don't know
What should I do, so I went to file a complaint."
Does this matter have nothing to do with me? It is obviously directly related to me, okay! Tang Xiaohao was speechless and just looked at Zheng Jing.
Zheng Jing looked at Tang Xiaohao: "Are you a little confused? Do you want me to help you sort it out?"
"No, I admit it... No, I admit it for Tangdou. He often does this kind of bullying of cats and dogs." Tang Xiaohao was very helpless, "Then I want to ask Captain Zheng, are you here to arrest Tangdou?
?”
Zheng Jing said cautiously: "Xiao Hao, when the emperor ascended the throne, he issued an imperial edict, repeatedly emphasizing strict law enforcement and upholding the justice of the law. Although they are beggars, they are also human beings. Since they regard the dog as their own family, they still
If you bring evidence to report to the officials, we must give them a fair, just and open answer."
Tang Xiaohao took a deep breath: "No need to say any more, I will take out the dead cat now. You can lock it up and take it back. If you want to impose the death penalty, please inform me so that I can go see it."
The last time."
Zheng Jing immediately said: "No, what Mr. Lisi means is that Tangdou is a cat and a beast after all, and you, as the guardian of the beast..."
"Master! Not a guardian, pay attention to your wording," Tang Xiaohao immediately interrupted Zheng Jing, "Who has nothing to do to monitor the beast?"
Zheng Jing corrected: "As the owner of the beast, you need to go there and negotiate with the beggars in court to see if a settlement can be reached outside the court. Of course, the best result is a settlement outside the court, so as to avoid waste.
Manpower and material resources.”
Damn it, you came to me for a dog, isn’t this a waste of manpower and material resources?
Tang Xiaohao suppressed his displeasure: "Brother, I'm particularly confused. Does the arresting yamen also care about matters in the animal kingdom now?"
Zheng Jing said solemnly: "In the whole world, is it the king's land? On the shore of the land, is it the king's ministers?"
Tang Xiaohao immediately said: "You may have misunderstood this sentence. Let me explain to you. The word Wang Chen in this sentence refers to humans, not animals."
Zheng Jing's eyes widened: "Xiao Hao, what are you talking about? We are all subjects, so subjects all raise animals. You see, you raise cats, I raise chickens..."
Tang Xiaohao interrupted: "Chickens are not beasts, they are poultry."
Zheng Jing frowned: "Mr. Tang, you are using strong words. Poultry belongs to the category of beasts, just like you are a scumbag, but scumbags also belong to the category of men. People are subjects, and subjects raise animals, so beasts are
Doesn’t it also belong to the emperor? Since it belongs to the emperor, does it also fall under the jurisdiction of the law? Does the law also have to be fair, just and open?"
You mean, the emperor is as guilty as an animal when he breaks the law, right? Do you dare to say it?
Tang Xiaohao was completely speechless, because from the day he met Zheng Jing, he had never defeated this beast in words. This chapter has been completed!
