Chapter 560 Tang Rong bites Tang Gang
From that day on, Tang Gang moved to Chunrong Hall. Every day he either read in the old marquis's study, or accompanied the old lady to appreciate flowers, or had a heart-to-heart talk with the mother and son. At night he would go to the ancestral hall. Under the old lady's pressure, he was unable to do anything for Tang Rong.
Tang Rong, who had made trouble several times in prison, was never seen by anyone and his treatment became worse day by day. He completely faced the reality and the hatred in his heart grew day by day.
Since you don't care about him, don't blame him for being heartless.
"Sir, County Magistrate Tang said that he had never seen the sufferings of the world since he was born in the Marquis' Mansion, nor had he seen anyone who was too evil. Moreover, before he left the capital, Marquis Weiyuan told him that everything had been arranged properly, and that those under him were well-educated and reliable people who would lend him a hand, and that the achievements in government would all fall on his head in the future."
The person who interrogated Tang Rong reported the news to Zhou Zheng. "So he trusted those people very much. In addition, he didn't know much about many things and could only rely on them. As for the gifts from those people, they were not valuable in his eyes. They were just common things, so he accepted them."
"I don't know it's the people's blood and sweat."
Zhou Zheng sneered, "After saying so much, he still means it's all his father's fault?"
"Is his father mistaken?"
It's really interesting.
Tang Rong was not aware that Tang Gang was ordered by the Emperor to stay at home and wake up. Did he think that the Marquisate had given up on him, so they wanted to drag his father into the water? Interesting, there are many people who bite others in this government office, but this is the first time I have seen someone bite his own father.
"Go, invite this Tang prince to Mingli Hall."
Half an incense stick later, Zhou Zheng saw Tang Rong. Tang Rong was no longer as flustered as he had just been escorted to the capital. He looked much gloomier and sat on a chair in shackles. Zhou Zheng did not bother to follow his etiquette and sat in the hall and asked, "I heard that County Magistrate Tang knew nothing about what his subordinates did?"
"yes."
Tang Rong raised his eyes, "Do you need me to say it again?"
Zhou Zheng smiled playfully, "So the Marquis of Weiyuan was just pretending to send County Magistrate Tang to Songyang County. He had already arranged everything in advance. What happened today was all because of the Marquis of Weiyuan's poor judgment of people, and it had nothing to do with County Magistrate Tang?"
Tang Rong's lips curled slightly, "Lord Zhou is also from a noble family, so he naturally knows why I want to be a county magistrate. I am not the only one who is walking this path. Do other people know the duties of a county magistrate and understand farming in all four seasons?"
"It was indeed my fault that this happened, but I do not admit that I was corrupt and forced women into prostitution."
"Who am I? Can I be short of money or women? Do I need to rob them?"
"Are there any rare treasures among the things you confiscated? Are there any in the Marquis' Mansion?"
He was just a son of a noble family who had never seen the sufferings of the world. How could he know that just a few dozen taels of silver could cost the lives of an entire family?
The dignified heir of the Marquis's mansion, once an outstanding descendant admired by all the families in the court, now showed an attitude of being on the cutting edge, which made Zhou Zheng very curious, "Tang County Magistrate has cleared himself so cleanly, isn't he afraid that your father will be blamed by the emperor?"
"As a human being, eating grains and cereals, it is impossible for me to never make a mistake. Maybe my father was deceived as well."
Tang Rong leaned back and said, "My father's love for his son ended up being deceived. It's really sad."
Zhou Zheng had seen through his shamelessness. He raised his hand slightly and someone immediately handed Tang Rong a pen and ink. "Since County Magistrate Tang has a clear conscience, write this down as a confession."
Tang Rong rolled up his sleeves slowly, picked up the pen and began to write. Zhou Zheng frowned slightly. The people under Tang Rong spoke out clearly, but they all said that it had nothing to do with Tang Rong. They just wanted to curry favor with Tang Rong.
Seeing Tang Rong's attitude, he sighed that it was really inconvenient not to try the case locally.
In the afternoon, Yan Shimao escorted Lin Yao to the Marquis' Mansion. Xin An smiled and took her hand into the house, and put the hand warmer in her hand. "It's getting cold, you should rest in the mansion."
Lin Yao held the hand warmer and smiled, "I haven't left the house for a long time. I feel so pent up. I thought you might be bored, so I came to talk to you."
Seeing that Xin An had become plumper, "I thought you were worried and anxious recently, but I didn't expect you to look so good."
"It's useless for me to worry about this. I can't help."
Xin An looked at her belly which was not yet noticeable. "How is it? Is the reaction strong?"
"I'm not as lucky as you. I was very horrible last month, but it's much better this month."
The two hadn't seen each other for some time, and because they had been taking care of the pregnancy, they hadn't been out much. They both felt a little suffocated. Once they started talking, they couldn't stop. By the time they felt thirsty and wanted to drink some water, two incense sticks had passed.
After drinking the water, Lin Yao talked about the purpose of coming today. She said that Yan Shimao had heard from the government that Tang Rong was difficult to interrogate and pushed all the blame away. The people below were afraid of the power of the Marquis' Mansion and did not dare to accuse him. "With his status, the government did not dare to torture him. It was a bit inconvenient not to interrogate him locally. It all depends on Zhou Zheng's ability."

Xin An frowned slightly, and Lin Yao patted the back of his hand. "Even so, it is impossible for him to get away with it. The Duke of Enguo's Mansion was divided, and Zhou Zheng and his father were separated. Now he is the second Liao Zhi in the capital. Even if Tang Rong is stubborn, he will definitely find a way."
"Second brother Tang's recent performance is also remarkable. He stabilized the situation before Liao Zhi left. He is the right person to be the prince of the Marquisate."
As he spoke, he approached Xin An and said, "We have already told father that if necessary, we will give him a push in the court to make this happen as soon as possible to avoid any more trouble."
Xin An held her hand and said, "We are both excited and worried about this matter. If we can get your help, we won't have to worry anymore."
"There's nothing to be upset about. You deserve it."
Lin Yaohui held her hand and said, "Let's not talk about our relationship. If my second brother can take charge of the Marquis' Mansion, it will be a good thing for us. Don't worry about this matter. Your brother-in-law has already secretly told several families. Everyone will take action at the critical moment."
Xin An didn't know what to say to thank him, and his nose felt a little sour. "I want to cry."
Lin Yao smiled, "This is not called crying, this is called crying of joy."
"But don't cry for now, I have something to ask you."
Yan Shimao got the news that Tang Mo and the Second Prince were close. He secretly analyzed it and felt that Tang Mo was leaning towards the Second Prince. "Is this true?"
There is no point in hiding it at this point. Lin Yao is a smart person with many eyes and ears. It is only a matter of time before she knows the inside story. "With the acquisition of the Northwest Salt Road, the Xin family and the Xu family have become more involved. Some people in the Xu family have businesses in Huaijiang, and they have taken care of the Xin family. Some good intentions cannot be refused. Under such circumstances, even if the Xin family says that they have nothing to do with the second prince, no one will believe it, right?"
