Chapter 512: Plan to go to Tang Rong in early winter
Tang Gang could already imagine the dirty scene from Tang Mo's words. He closed his eyes, his chest rising and falling violently. Fortunately, he had been angry in the morning and was mentally prepared, so he would not be angry to death. "Don't let your wife know about this."
Tang Mo said, "My wife is pregnant, so why would she listen to these things? It will corrupt the child."
"This matter is too big, and my son doesn't know how to deal with it. If I were the eldest brother, I would definitely kill her with a single blow."
Tang Mo sighed for a while, "No wonder the Tao family has been so prosperous recently. I heard that the Tao family is not very high-profile. They said that the Prince of Nanguang was impressed by his ability, and didn't care about his own ability?"
"Father, do you think the Tao family knows about this?"
Tao family?
Tang Gang narrowed his eyes slightly. It didn't matter whether the Tao family knew about it or not, but they had to pay the price! At this moment, he was a bit crazy.
As for the Prince of Nanguang, did he really think that he could act lawless now that the Emperor could use him? Tang Mo silently paid attention to his expression and added fuel to the fire. The old man had been cautious for half his life, and he really wanted to see him take risks and kill decisively.
At this time, a special sound was heard outside the door. It was Tang Gang's secret spy. Tang Mo could only leave tactfully and go back to Qiushiyuan to talk to his wife.
The information brought by the spy was exactly the same as what Tang Mo said. It was a foregone conclusion that Tao Yiran was in cahoots with the Prince of Nanguang.
Tang Gang sat alone in the study for a long while, then led his men out of the house and headed straight for the prison.
The prison guard was quite surprised to see him, but as the presiding judge of the Pingshun Earl case, he wanted to go in and was not stopped. Pingshun Earl was imprisoned in a special cell, which was quite clean, with a bed and bedding. Except for not seeing the sun, his life was better than that of the poor people.
The Earl of Pingshun was snoring loudly. Although he had come in and knew what crime he had committed, he was not worried at all. He had been working hard for so many years just for this day. He had the leverage over those court officials in his hands, and they would not let him die.
The jailer woke him up and saw that it was Tang Gang Pingshunbo who got up happily. "Why would the Marquis come to visit me in the middle of the night?"
"Send a message to the uncle."
Tang Gang stood with his hands behind his back, looking calm and composed. Pingshun Bo thought something good was going to happen, and he looked very proud. "I'm afraid I can't keep my title. I'll need your care in the future."
Tang Gang forced a smile, "My Lord, you are too polite. From now on, I will burn two more pieces of paper for you during the Qingming Festival, so that you can still enjoy wealth and honor in the afterlife."
"What does your Lordship mean?"
The smile on the face of the Earl of Pingshun disappeared instantly. Tang Gang 'kindly' told him, "The evidence of the Earl's crime has been found out. The emperor is furious. Commander Liao has requested an imperial decree to search the Earl of Pingshun's mansion. The secret that the Earl has hidden in the mansion will be revealed tomorrow."
"Your trusted steward will go to check the place where Lord Bo will dispose of the corpse tomorrow morning. It is already early autumn, and the world is solemn and bleak. If the sentence is to be executed in autumn, there will be no need to wait too long, and Lord Bo will not suffer too much."
"By the way, if nothing unexpected happens, all the male members of the Marquis's family will follow Master Marquis down to serve him, but it's hard to say about the female members."
"impossible."
Pingshun Bo didn't believe that the business he had run for so many years could be brought down so easily. "I want to see Duke Enguo."
"I want to see the prince."
At this moment, he was eager to show his trump card, "My Lord, please tell them to come see me. I have something that can help them. My Lord, if you help me today, I will repay you a hundredfold in the future. You can have anything you want."
"My Lord, you must help me pass on the message."
Tang Gang looked at him with interest, "I wonder how you are going to repay me?"
"Silver, I have a lot of silver, I will give you as much as you want."
"Why do you think that I am short of money?"
Tang Gang chuckled, "My Lord's bargaining chips are not enough to make me tempted at all."
Pingshun Bo gritted his teeth and said, "I have a secret that concerns the honor and disgrace of the Marquisate. If the Marquis can know it in advance, it will avoid a storm. If it is made public, the reputation of the Marquisate will be ruined in an instant."
The Prince of Nanguang rejected his arrangement. It sounded nice, but how could a man who had always loved to flirt with other women give up the beauty Tao Yiran? So he secretly sent people to keep an eye on her, and as expected, they discovered the clues. They even wanted to kick him away and flirt with her on their own without even seeing if he agreed.
"As long as the Marquis helps me, I will tell him."
Tang Gang clenched his hands into fists behind his back, his expression unchanged, "Master, please tell me. How do I know that you are not just talking nonsense?"
"I didn't realize there was something else that could destroy the reputation of my mansion."
If the secret is told, it can no longer be used as a bargaining chip. If I don't tell it, Tang Gang won't believe it. Pingshun Bo was in a dilemma for a moment, "It's about the scandal of the Marquis' eldest daughter-in-law. Marquis, if I tell this, the Marquis's Mansion will become a complete joke."
Tang Gang's eyes were cold, and the last bit of luck in his heart was gone. "If you want a good result, why don't you tell me where your account book is?"
The reason why he could still sleep with such loud snoring was that he claimed to have something on those court officials. Pingshun Bo looked straight at Tang Gang, and Tang Gang chuckled, "Does the Bo think that he can threaten them by holding something on them?"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"You have entertained enough people. As long as these people come together to plead guilty to the emperor, can the emperor still dismiss them all?"
"It's just a small punishment."
Tang Gang's purpose, apart from coming to investigate Pingshun Bo, was to shatter all his fantasies and make him live in fear from now on, all day long until his death!
"Can you tell me, sir?"
Tang Gang patted his sleeves and said, "This is my first time here, and it may also be the last time."
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Tang Gang turned around and left. Pingshun Bo was waiting for him to come back to discuss terms. As the clear footsteps gradually became blurred and disappeared, Pingshun Bo panicked and shouted to keep him, "My Lord, my Lord, please come back, my Lord~"
At this time, Tang Gang had already left the prison. After leaving a few words, he got on the carriage and returned to the Marquis' Mansion.
In Qiushi Courtyard, Tang Mo and Xin An were still awake. They reviewed the past two days' events again, and were relieved when they confirmed that there were no omissions. Tang Mo leaned over and gently stroked Xin An's slightly bulging belly. "The old man won't be able to sleep tonight. I was a little worried that he wouldn't make it. Fortunately, mother had foresight."
The mother and son made some preparations in advance and gave him a heart-saving pill before telling him the truth, so he got through it safely.
Xin An said that at this point there was little they could do to intervene. The evidence of Pingshun Bo's guilt was irrefutable, so it all depended on how the Crown Prince and the Second Prince would play the game.
"Although things are different from what we expected, this result is already good. If you want to inherit the title, you must have someone to push you, and the Second Prince is that person."
Plans can never keep up with changes.
"Let's take a break after the matter of Earl Pingshun is settled. Give father some time to recuperate. Let's do it in early winter. Once early winter comes, bring Tang Rong up."
Tang Mo smiled and nodded, "We haven't had much energy lately, so we need to take it easy for a while. We still won't get involved in Tang Rong's affairs. I'll see who is the most suitable one these days."
