The residence of the Prince's Young Master, Tao Mansion.
In the main hall, Tao's son and daughter sat on both sides.
The letter was sent by Tanma from Qianqi Camp half an hour ago and was given to Tao Shaozhang.
After Tao Shaozhang read the letter, he went to his father and asked him to impeach Zhang Songling.
Tao Yao was very confused. After asking, he found out that Tao Shaozhang had done something wrong again and had just finished the Li family, and now he was targeting the Zhang family again.
"no!"
Tao Yao's beard trembled with anger: "Chu Qing is the deputy commander of the Qianqi Battalion, the emperor's own army. If something happens, at least he can escape unscathed. You are a young minister of Dali Temple. You are trying to kill our Tao family."
ah!"
After scolding, Tao Yao looked at Tao Ruolin who was yawning next to him: "Lin'er, why don't you persuade your elder brother?"
"Oh." Tao Ruolin rubbed her eyes and looked at Tao Shaozhang: "Brother, it's not my sister who is talking about you. You told dad so clearly what to do, but you still say it even though you know dad is ignorant. Really, if this happens again in the future
, just make up any excuse to fool it."
Tao Shaozhang sighed: "Brother was negligent."
Tao Yao: “…”
"Dad." Tao Shaozhang sighed and said, "When a real man walks in the world, he must take care of injustices. As for the Zhang thief, it is not convenient for me to tell you in detail at this time, so just..."
"You bastard, if anything is unfair, it's all unfair. You can take care of it, but you can take care of others, but you kill your own family!"
Tao Ruolin covered her mouth and yawned: "Dad, in this capital, Ma Shan is being ridiculed. You can scare Xiao Xiao by being tough sometimes."
"How dare you talk back!" Tao Yao pointed at the confused Tao Shaozhang: "I am tough, no matter how tough I am, how can you not be as powerful as you, the young minister of Dali Temple, who can check accounts and take people, who in the capital can still do it?
I don’t know if you spoke up for Tao Shaozhang!”
Tao Shaozhang's face was filled with confusion.
I said something and you just sprayed me. I didn’t say it to make you tough.
Tao Ruolin smiled and said: "Okay, okay, Dad, don't be angry. What will happen if you impeach me? Brother and the others can do the rest. Brother has a sense of proportion."
"You still have sense of proportion, you have so much sense of proportion!" Tao Yao pointed at Tao Shaozhang and shouted: "You didn't even look at how much you weighed. If you didn't talk about this, you just talked about the tax inspection. You almost failed.
The life-and-death lawsuit has ruined the Tao family’s reputation!”
Tao Ruolin didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Dad, what you said is wrong. Didn't my elder brother reveal his reputation among the scholars?"
"You still have the nerve to say that!" Tao Yao yelled at Tao Shaozhang: "I took the lives of my whole family in exchange for a clear name. Do I care about this clear name?"
Tao Shaozhang finally couldn't bear it anymore: "Dad, what do you always scold me for? It's not me who said it, it was my eldest sister who said it."
"You still dare to quibble, what Lin'er said is exactly what you think!"
Tao Shaozhang: "..."
When Tao Ruolin saw her elder brother being sprayed like a dog, she rubbed her eyebrows and said, "Dad, in short, you must impeach Zhang Songling tomorrow, that's it."
"Hurrah!"
Tao Yao was completely anxious. He stood up suddenly, pointed at Tao Shaozhang and shouted: "How dare you order your father to wake up? You Tao Shaozhang, am I your father or are you my father?"
Tao Shaozhang glared at Tao Ruolin: "Mei, please stop talking, okay?"
"Damn it, if you dare to teach Lin'er a lesson, I'll beat you to death!"
"I…"
Tao Ruolin stood up, pushed Tao Yao on the stool, brought the tea cup and handed it over: "Dad, don't be angry, please drink some tea first."
"Dad, I'm not thirsty." Tao Yao's face changed and he said cheerfully: "Lin'er is filial. If you're not thirsty, dad, just drink. Don't let your big brother make you angry."
Tao Shaozhang wanted to ask, "Why? I was dug out of the ground when you were farming. We both have the surname Tao. There must be a big difference."
"Dad, listen to your daughter, she knows that you are not interested in power and position, but think about it, your eldest brother is in a high position at a young age, and his position as the Young Minister of Dali Temple is being watched by countless people. You just want to be like the one in the mountains.
Tiger, big brother is a tiger cub. You are the tiger king. There are so many monkeys, leopards, and monsters in the mountains, but they are not afraid of big brother, a tiger cub. You should at least come out and roar twice to scare these clowns.
Otherwise, outsiders would think that our Tao family can be bullied."
"Hmm~~~" Tao Yao nodded: "What Lin'er said has always been very reasonable."
Tao Shaozhang: "Yes, Dad, if you don't come out and roar a few times, monkeys, leopards, etc., I'll think you've died in the cave."
"You bastard, I will beat you to death!"
Tao Ruolin quickly stopped her father and glared at Tao Shaozhang fiercely.
Tao Yao sighed deeply and looked at Tao Ruolin, helpless: "Your eldest brother is just a fool of a man with a pedantic air. It would be great if Lin'er were a man."
Tao Ruolin said with a smile: "My daughter is not in bad shape, I will be your daughter and I will be filial to you for the rest of my life."
After finishing speaking, Tao Ruolin stood behind Tao Yao and gently squeezed Lao Tao's shoulder.
Tao Yao gently patted the back of Tao Ruolin's hand and opened his mouth, but in the end he could only sigh.
After being silent for a long time, Tao Yao finally looked at Tao Shaozhang seriously.
"Remember dad's words. Now that Tao's family is in the capital, dad has become the prince's young master, and you have become the young minister of Dali Temple. This huge family fortune is all earned by your sister. Lin'er will spend her whole life.
You have earned your reputation, so you must think twice before doing anything in the future, and don’t let your sister’s hard work go to waste.”
Tao Shaozhang's eyes were a little moist, he looked at the ground and nodded slightly.
Tao Ruolin pressed her forehead to the back of Tao Yao's head and said with a smile: "It's not like what you said. It's just that outsiders think that the daughter is Bihua and Bihua is the daughter. In addition, they spread rumors and rumors. Gradually,
Your daughter has turned into an ugly old woman. It would be best if she could not find a husband. My daughter will be filial to you for the rest of her life."
"Lin'er, don't worry, dad will definitely find a good family for you."
"I don't want you to worry about it. If your daughter likes her, she will run away with her immediately. She is not filial to you."
"Okay, you can't ask for it, you can't ask for it." Tao Yao laughed and said: "If I, Tao Yao, who has eyes for the richest man in the palm of my hand, like a man, even if he is a trafficker and a lackey, I will try my best to get him to come and propose marriage."
After finishing speaking, Tao Yao sighed again: "But my daughter, your reputation..."
"Then my daughter will find someone with a worse reputation than me."
Tao Yao was amused. Tao Ruolin looked at Tao Shaozhang and said with a smile: "Brother, you are the young minister of Dali Temple. In the past, didn't you always punish those playboys with a bad reputation in the capital? Why don't you find one for me soon?"
Tao Shaozhang couldn't laugh or cry: "There are countless dandies with bad reputations in Beijing. Not to mention dandies, even young heroes are not worthy of you, my eldest sister."
"Then find the one with the worst reputation."
"The one with the worst reputation?" Tao Shaozhang also knew that Tao Ruolin was joking, so he pretended to be serious and said: "To say that the person with the worst reputation in Beijing in the past few years must be Chu, who is called a living beast by the people of Bei City..."
Halfway through, Tao Shaozhang was stunned for a moment, raised his head, and looked at Tao Ruolin with a strange expression, his eyes inexplicable.
Tao Ruolin blinked her big eyes at Tao Shaozhang, leaned over and said to Tao Yao: "Dad, it's settled. My daughter is going to have a rest. She can't be angry with her eldest brother anymore. She's not smart enough in the first place. You always scold him.
It’s even more stupid.”
Tao Shaozhang opened his mouth, but still didn't dare to make a sound.
Tao Ruolin poured Tao Yao another cup of tea and skipped out of the main hall.
Tao Yao glanced at Tao Shaozhang slightly and sighed: "Now our Tao family has become famous and has accumulated a lot of family property, but you act so recklessly. What should I do if you call me daddy? If one of you makes a mistake, the consequences will be dire. This son
If it is gone, it can be regenerated, but if the family property is gone, what should we do?"
Tao Shaozhang: "..."
"Tell your father what's going on."
"I don't know the specific details. I only know that Qianqi Camp has raised two hundred and five thousand and three guans and two hundred coins."
Tao Yao was slightly shocked: "With so much money, where will it be used and how will it be returned?"
"My son has only a vague idea of what it will be used for. He only knows that it will be returned. When the matter is done, the 190,000 yuan will be returned."
"Don't you still have fifteen thousand and three guans and two hundred Wen? It's not arithmetic. Why are you so confused?"
Tao Shaozhang sighed silently: "My son is not good at mathematics, but I understand Chu Qing."
