Chapter 555 Tang Rong was escorted back to Beijing
Tang Mo helped Xin An sit down under the eaves. A few days ago, he took ten thousand taels from Xin An. It was their compensation to the people of Songyang County. Although it was Tang Rong who did the evil, they were more or less related.
"I checked that person and found that he has no problems. His family is not bad either. With Luo Qiwen as guarantor, the money should be used for the right people. Besides compensating the people who were harmed, the remaining money can be used to build bridges and roads. It can barely be considered as a good deed."
Seeing that he had lost weight again, Xin An asked someone to bring him a bowl of soup, saying that the chrysanthemums were blooming well, and that he would make him a chrysanthemum fish dish tonight. "Things are going well, and it looks like it won't delay the New Year."
Tang Mo drank the soup and smiled with great comfort, "Something happened in the mansion this year. Buy more firecrackers during the New Year to drive away evil spirits and welcome the new year."
"Very good."
The two were in similar moods, some heavy, some excited, and very expectant. Although they tried their best to suppress it, it would still show up inadvertently. Xin An turned his head and said, "Close the door before laughing. It's not good to laugh at this time."
The Empress Dowager has not yet been buried, who dares to laugh?
Tang Mo hummed, trying to calm himself down, and then began to fidget again. There was nothing he could do, as the wound on his back had scabs and new flesh had grown, and it was very itchy.
The people escorting Tang Rong by imperial order arrived at Songyang County as quickly as possible. At this time, Tang Rong had just got a beautiful concubine, who was seven points as beautiful as Tao Yiran, and was good at singing and dancing and serving people. He liked her very much. Even though he had gotten many beauties in the past year, none of them could surpass Tao Yiran in appearance.
"The prince is not well."
The beauty insisted that Tang Rong paint her personally. Just as Tang Rong was about to pick up the brush, Qing Mo came in panic.
Tang Rong frowned slightly, "Why are you so flustered? It's not uncommon for people to come from the capital. It's not worth making such a fuss."
He did accept the benefits from his subordinates, but what they did had nothing to do with him. At most, he was negligent and would be reprimanded when he returned. "Another person sent by my father?"
"no."
Qing Mo trembled as he spoke, "Those people came here under orders, saying they want to escort the prince back to the capital."
It is said that it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality, but easy to go from frugality to extravagance. During the days when Qing Mo was Mr. Mo in Songyang County, he had long forgotten Nan Feng's instructions to him. Now that he came to his senses, he was already scared out of his wits.
Tang Rong thought he was hallucinating, "What did you say?"
Before Qing Mo could speak again, the person who announced the decree had arrived. The decree made it very clear that the magistrate of Songyang County, Tang Rong, was corrupt and extravagant, and bullied the people. These people came to escort him back to Beijing for trial.
"County Magistrate Tang, please come in."
These people didn't even give Tang Rong time to pack up his belongings or explain himself. They just marched him out the door, put handcuffs on him and pushed him into a prison van. Up to this moment he was still in a daze. He thought that with his father in the capital and the influence of his grandfather still around, what problems could he have?
The man was sitting in the prison car. Except for the officers guarding him, everyone else had already started to search the backyard of the government office. The beauties were frightened and in chaos. Aunt Cao, who was locked up, heard the news and started crying while laughing. Then she wiped her tears, walked out of the gate and waited to be escorted back together.
At this time, the newly appointed county magistrate had already arrived. He saw with his own eyes Tang Rong being escorted into the car, boxes of gold, silver and jewelry being carried out, and all of Tang Rong's minions being put in shackles, even the petty officials were not spared.
"Sir Wen, we have to go back to the capital to report. We have to leave early tomorrow morning. I'll leave this to you, Sir Wen."
There are many people waiting to be candidates in the capital, and I don't know how many people are watching the Ministry of Personnel for an opportunity. This Lord Wen had to use some tricks to get here. He followed Luo Qiwen's path, and with the help of Tang Mo and the arrangements of Liu Mingyuan, he got this opportunity.
Witnessing the fate of his predecessor with his own eyes, looking at the corrupt items being carried out, and hearing the suppressed but cheering voices of the onlookers, Lord Wen took a deep breath, thinking of what Tang Mo had told him before he set out and the silver money he had given him, and he sighed in his heart.
The second young master Tang is a good man. When his elder brother got into trouble, he paid to clean up the mess and did not even leave his name. It is really admirable.
"You are very polite. Now that I have come to this place, I will do my best to serve the people. I will learn from the past and will never slack off."
'Lessons from the past' Lord Wen looked at these people with a gloomy face in the prison car, smiled at him and went into the yamen. He did not have time to rest, and after a few adjustments, he began to deal with the aftermath. He could not let down the Second Young Master's efforts, nor could he let down this opportunity.
On the way back to Beijing in the prison carriage, Tang Rong either asked for a more comfortable carriage or was dissatisfied with the food. Qing Mo wanted to go and serve him but was stopped. The officers didn't talk to Tang Rong either. They had to travel day and night. He originally still had a lucky mentality, but he also began to panic. The officers were not stupid people, and their attitudes represented a lot of things.
Could something have happened to his father?
But apart from his father, there is also the Tao family. Does the Tao family also ignore him?
Finally, after he asked several times, the next officer got tired of asking, "The Emperor asked Marquis Weiyuan to reflect on his mistakes behind closed doors. What about the Tao family?"
The official looked amused, "The prince doesn't know yet? The old lady of the Tao family passed away. The eldest daughter of the Tao family went insane during the mourning period and divorced herself. After the divorce, she committed suicide. She has no relationship with the prince anymore."
"Speaking of which, the prince is still a widower now."

Several officers turned their heads and snickered. Tang Rong was stunned. Tao Yiran was dead?
His mind worked quickly, and his first thought was that Tao Yiran was caught doing something to Aunt Luo's belly, and was secretly dealt with by his father, who then teamed up with the Tao family to stage a show.
He was also worried that Tao Yiran would betray him, and he didn't have time to think about why Tang Gang wanted to reflect on his mistakes behind closed doors.
Seeing that he didn't show the slightest bit of pain, the yamen runners exchanged glances, suspecting that there was some hidden reason behind the death of the man from the Tao family. Maybe he was angered to death. This man had only been in Songyang County for a short time, but he already had seven or eight beauties in the backyard. He must be very busy.
Because of this incident, these people not only did not give him any preferential treatment on the road but also made things difficult for him everywhere. They fed him all the unpalatable food and did not give him any time to rest, forcing him to rush on the road as soon as he opened his eyes.
A month passed quickly. All officials saw off the Empress Dowager. After a grand funeral, the capital gradually returned to normal. To ordinary people, what happened to the Empress Dowager had nothing to do with them. Teahouses and taverns also slowly became lively again.
"Look, who is in this prisoner car?"
The prisoner carriage entered the city, and passers-by couldn't help but watch the excitement, "Why does it look familiar to me?"
Ordinary people don't know him, but the young masters of the court know him very well. At the second-floor window of the teahouse, several dudes stood together, "Isn't this our marquis's son? He looks so embarrassed."
"Brother Tang, come and take a look. This return to the capital is truly magnificent."
A hypocritical bastard. Many of them have been beaten because of him. Brother Tang's wounds haven't healed yet. I really want to ask the family to come and see what the good boy they said was outstanding in every way looks like now! (End of this chapter)
