Chapter 1763 Father and Son
Lord Yang was indeed feeling very uncomfortable at the moment. It should be said that all members of the Yang family were feeling uncomfortable at this moment, as Yang Rong was still in prison.
Yin Li and Tang He did not find any direct evidence of Yang Rong's involvement, and his butler Yu Shui took responsibility for everything, as if the emperor had no way to deal with him.
But we are not fools. Solving a case does not just depend on the confession. Everyone will think about this, okay?
Why would Yu Shui, a housekeeper, harm the Crown Princess and the Emperor's grandson? Where did he get the courage to put so many people in the palace?
It's easy for everyone to figure out that he was being ordered by someone, the only question is who was behind it.
Whether Yang Rong pleads guilty or not, it will have a huge impact on the Yang family.
He was already overwhelmed, and Yang Heshu resigned at this time and was willing to leave Beijing even if it meant being transferred to Xiazhou to be the magistrate of Yizhong County.
You know, after he returned to Beijing, he had made continuous contributions and was already an official of the fifth rank. Beijing officials were transferred to other places. Not to mention promotion, he took the initiative to be demoted to the sixth rank. What's the difference between this and directly confessing on behalf of Yang?
But the child is very stubborn and refuses to listen to advice.
Lord Yang had a headache. He sighed and opened the window to look out at the vast expanse of white. He faintly heard laughter coming from the garden, so he called over a servant and asked, "What's going on back there?"
The servant bowed and said, "Master is entertaining guests in the garden."
Lord Yang frowned and asked, "Who are they?"
"There is Young Master Tang, the two young masters of the Bai family, and the young lady of the Zhou family."
Lord Yang knew who it was as soon as he heard it. He frowned, waved his hand and said, "I know, you can go."
As soon as the people on this side left, the butler came in quickly and whispered in his ear: "The fifth prince has left the palace."
Lord Yang's eyes lit up, and he asked in a low voice, "With whom?"
"With the two princesses and the Sixth Prince, they left the palace to visit the Fifth Prince's palace. They are currently at the palace."
The fifth prince will set up his palace to look for marriage next year and get married the year after. After he gets married, he will move to his fiefdom, so his palace is already under construction.
Originally, he should have been engaged and set up a residence this year, but the emperor had no money in the treasury. Although the fifth son was a concubine's son, the emperor still loved him very much and was reluctant to leave him with an empty palace, so he postponed it for a year.
Now that the autumn harvest is over, all the harvests from the imperial city have been sent to the inner treasury. The emperor has money again, so he started it again.
Today, the fifth prince brought his three younger brothers and sisters out of the palace to visit his palace.
Lord Yang immediately got up and left the house, wanting to see him.
As soon as he left the house, Qianmu carefully went up to the observation tower, leaned over and reported to Yang Heshu in a low voice.
The teacup in Yang Heshu's hand paused, he unconsciously turned it twice, put it down, nodded to Qianmu, and asked him to ask someone to follow carefully.
Tang He knew him best. As soon as he saw his movements, he knew that his old habit had come back. He couldn't help but turn his head and ask him, "Who are you investigating?"
Yang Heshu looked up at him but didn't answer.
Tang He shrugged and said, "If you don't want to tell me, forget it."
Yang and Shu were silent, while Manbao and the other two sat aside, eating meat with innocent eyes, looking here and there, pretending to know nothing and trying to reduce their presence as much as possible.
Even Mrs. Tang and Mrs. Yang didn't say anything.
After a long while, Yang Heshu suddenly said, "My father is out. Do you want to investigate further?"
Lord Tang, who was eating meat, suddenly choked. The meat in his throat was blocked by him and he could only look at Manbao with tears in his eyes.
Manbao quickly put down the meat in his hand, ran forward and bent the man over, then slapped and lifted him up. Lord Tang felt a surge of anger in his stomach and couldn't help but open his mouth, and the meat in his throat flew out.
When Yang Heshu and others who were anxious saw this, they immediately calmed down, breathed a sigh of relief, and sat down in their seats.
Tang Run, who was running all over the field, breathed a sigh of relief and said like an adult, "Dad, you're too careless."
Tang He glared at his son, then turned and stared at Yang Heshu.
Yang Heshu sighed and said, "It seems that the Fifth Prince has left the palace. He is going to see the Fifth Prince." Tang He took a sip of tea and asked, "What is Uncle Shi going to do?"
Yang Heshu lowered his eyes and looked at the teacup in his hand. After a while, he said, "If the imperial concubine and the fifth prince in the palace take the initiative to admit this matter, then this matter has little to do with the Yang family."
Tang He frowned, "But according to what Lord Yin and I have investigated, not only the Fifth Prince, but also Concubine Yang is unaware of this matter."
Yang Heshu raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Yes, this is a blessing for the Yang family. It's a pity that father doesn't understand."
Lord Tang was speechless for a long time.
He is an outsider, and from a long-term perspective, this is indeed fortunate for the Yang family; but I am afraid that as a member of the Yang family, Lord Yang would not think so.
Not everyone can look ahead for twenty or thirty years and then temporarily put aside the interests of the next ten years.
Tang He was getting a little restless. After all, this was the case he was handling, even though it had been transferred to the Dali Temple.
Manbao sat back in his seat, looking puzzled. "What does this mean? Does Lord Yang want the Fifth Prince and Concubine Yang to admit they're spies?"
Bai Erlang said, "They're not stupid, why should I take the blame for them?"
Yang Heshu said: "There are many reasons, whether it's being motivated by profit, being moved by emotions, or being deceived by the other party. People always do things that seem incredible to others."
"For example, right now," Yang Heshu said self-deprecatingly, "why would I tell you about the wrong things my father is doing? And even report him to Tang He?"
Everyone was silent.
Bai Shan hesitated and said, "For justice?"
Manbao and Bai Erlang looked at Yang Heshu with sharp eyes, their eyes asking: Really? Really?
Others: ...
Then, under the gaze of Tang He and his wife, Yang Heshu shamelessly nodded and said with a smile, "Not bad."
Bai Shan and the other two breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Yang Heshu with admiration.
Madam Yang sat quietly beside him, just slightly closer to him.
Both Tang He and Mrs. Tang thought he was extremely shameless.
But Manbao really admired Yang Heshu. It was easy to say that one would sacrifice one's own family for the sake of justice, but it was very difficult to do it. After all, she put herself in his shoes. If her father did something wrong, she would stop him, make amends, and even admit her father's mistake on his behalf. But it was a bit difficult to take the initiative to report her father to the government.
No wonder Brother Yang hesitated for so long just now.
Bai Shan and Bai Erlang also put themselves in Yang Heshu's shoes and admired him even more.
Bai Shan even poured a full cup of tea and said, "Brother Yang, I'll offer you a cup of tea instead of wine. If I go to Xiazhou in the future, I will definitely bring you lots of delicious food."
Yang Heshu raised his glass with a smile, "Then I'll wait for your delicious food."
Tang He was too lazy to expose him. He pondered the situation for a moment and said, "Even if Yang Guifei wanted to do this for the Fifth Prince, she wouldn't agree, would she?"
Yang Heshu said, "That depends on my aunt's opinion: is her son more important, or her mother's family more important?"
"Or maybe my father was very eloquent and was able to convince them."
Bai Shan said confidently: "No, the Fifth Prince is not stupid. If he admits this, what will he do in the future?"
