Chapter 836 Watching the scenery while doing business
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is just a way to conquer the Tang family.
The Tang family has been inherited for countless years and is much older than the Dajing Dynasty. How could they not understand the emperor's thoughts?
As a family that has been inherited for countless years, they have a deep foundation and will not be afraid of the Dajing Dynasty. However, they are not arrogant and do not listen to the arrangements. Instead, they refuse in an extremely tactful way.
Moreover, they also took some actions. Although they did not say anything openly, they were also a statement to the court that they would not become a trouble to the court.
In this way, the emperor was afraid that forceful intervention would destabilize Shuzhou and destabilize the court, so he ignored the Tang family.
Jianghu and the court will have some conflicts to a greater or lesser extent, but these conflicts are not irreconcilable.
Over the years since the establishment of the Dajing Dynasty, it has experienced countless wars.
Nowadays, there are hundreds of thousands of mountains in the south, barbarians and evil spirits are rampant, the Maurya Dynasty is in conflict in the west, and the nomadic people in the north are watching with eager eyes.
Those who participated in the war and defended the Great King Dynasty were not only the imperial court, but also capable people and strangers in the world. At critical moments, they also joined the war.
On the border of Dajing, I don’t know how many bones have been piled up in exchange for countless years of peace.
Of course, many of these bones belong to the Tang family.
In this way, the conflict between the court and the Jianghu seems to be nothing.
But things are unpredictable. Nowadays, people in the world don't seem to like the government very much. Even if some people participate in the war to resist foreign enemies, they only talk about the common people and shut up about the common people. It seems that the court is already terminally ill and there is no cure.
save.
In this way, the contradiction between the court and the world began to become acute again.
Hang Tianyi naturally understands these.
Standing in front of the gate of the Tang Family Courtyard, what Hang Tianyi saw was not only the heritage of the family that had been passed down for countless years, but also the vicissitudes and weight of history.
The Tang family has been able to be passed down for countless years and remain standing despite the changes in dynasties, so it is naturally remarkable.
From the beginning, when he heard about the Tang family in Shuzhou, Hang Tianyi had never underestimated anyone from the Tang family, let alone the Tang family.
"Brother Hang, please!" Tang Zhong said. When he came here, he was the host, and Hang Tianyi was the guest.
The host naturally has to greet his guests well. Of course, the relationship between them is not only host and guest, but also friends.
Hang Tianyi nodded and walked side by side with Tang Zhong through the gate of the Tang Family Courtyard.
The first thing that catches the eye is the four-story hall and pavilion.
This is the place where the Tang family's courtyard is used to receive guests, but Tang Zhong did not invite Hang Tianyi to sit in. Instead, he walked to the side and entered a very exquisite courtyard.
Because they are friends and don't need those polite things.
"This is my own small courtyard in another courtyard!" Tang Zhong said.
Hang Tianyi smiled and said: "Your yard is not small!"
Tang Zhong couldn't help but smile: "That's it!"
Hang Tianyi rolled his eyes and thought, that's it? It seems that the Tang family is really a big family.
The two were chatting and laughing, and Tang Zhong also showed Hang Tianyi some of the treasures he had collected, including medical instruments and some strange poisons that were rare in the world.
In short, here, Tang Chongfang's things are really diverse.
Here, it is not the real Tang family, but it is so luxurious and luxurious. It is difficult for Hang Tianyi to imagine what will happen when he actually goes to the Tang family.
In the blink of an eye, the time for half a stick of incense had passed. When he came in, he had already ordered his servants to prepare the food and wine. At this time, a servant had already come in to report that the food and wine were ready.
After leaving Tang Zhong's courtyard, we entered a pavilion on the side of the living room. This place is quiet and elegant, and is most suitable for drinking and making tea.
After sitting down, the two of them had a few drinks.
In this way, it can be regarded as a way to broaden your mind and activate your thoughts.
"Have there been any strange things happening in the Tang family recently? In addition, the missing elder of the Tang family, is it the Tang family's other courtyard, or..." Hang Tianyi said.
Tang Zhong put down the wine glass in his hand and his expression became solemn: "Whether it's the Tang family's headquarters or this villa, there are people missing. But recently, because of so many things that have happened one after another, we naturally have to be careful.
There are not many people missing without reason, but for those missing people, my father and the old lady have always ignored them, which is getting more and more weird!"
After hearing this, Hang Tianyi thought for a while and said, "How long will it take to resign from the Tang family's headquarters?"
"It won't be long before I go out to Shuzhou and ride a horse for half a stick of incense at most!" Tang Zhong replied.
Hang Tianyi said: "Then let's take a look at this other courtyard first, and then go to the Tang family's base camp!"
"Let's have a drink first today. When you came to Shuzhou, in order to avoid suspicion, I didn't fulfill my duties as a landlord!" Tang Chong said with a smile.
Hang Tianyi also had a little smile on his face: "Of course you have to drink wine, but you can't delay the business!"
When Tang Zhong heard this, he felt very happy. He laughed loudly, picked up the wine glass, and drank one glass with Hang Tianyi.
Hang Tianyi drank less wine, but ate a lot of food.
After half a stick of incense, the two of them came out of the house and began to look at the scenery of the Tang Family Courtyard.
In fact, this is just an excuse. The real purpose is to go to the place where the elders of the Tang family disappeared to see if they can find any clues.
This is a small courtyard deep in the Tang Family Courtyard, filled with pillars. The breeze is waving and the bamboo leaves are making sounds, making the place even more peaceful and quiet.
Hang Tianyi asked: "Is this where the elder disappeared?"
"Elder Thirteen, he has always been a quiet person. On the night of his disappearance, I was also in the other courtyard. In the middle of the night, I suddenly heard a scream. When we came over, he was gone!" Tang Zhong said.
"You guys, who else came with you that night?" Hang Tianyi asked.
Tang Zhong began to recall: "They are all juniors of the Tang family, Tang Feng and the others are all here!"
"Who is Tang Feng?" Hang Tianyi asked. Tang Zhong could name him. This shows that this person is not an ordinary person, at least not in Tang Zhong's heart.
"He is my second uncle's son. He is a little younger than me. He is considered a young genius in the Tang family!" Tang Zhong said.
Hang Tianyi said: "It seems that your relationship with Tang Feng is very ordinary!"
When Tang Zhong heard this, he smiled bitterly: "In a family like ours, many things are actually just beautiful on the surface. Real brotherhood is hard to see!"
"But your sister is really worried about you!" Hang Tianyi said.
Tang Zhong nodded, with a somewhat complicated look in his eyes: "To be honest, among our generation in the Tang family, no one can compare to my sister, but her identity and destiny..."
For a moment, Tang Chongxin felt as if there was a huge stone blocking his heart, making him feel very uncomfortable.
"Have you never thought about helping her?" Hang Tianyi asked.
