Chapter 176 Bad news
The answer to the doubts has always been alert for the past month, because shortly after he went to the Xinwang Mansion, there were always suspicious and sneaky people near the Tang family's house. At the beginning, he did not take these people seriously, because both his skills and other people were vulnerable in his eyes. If he wanted to get rid of these people, it was just a matter of raising his hands. But in order not to affect his wife Liu Hui's normal life, as long as these people did not do anything that harmed the Tang family, the answer to the doubts decided to endure them and turn a blind eye to them.
But as time went by, Xie Qu found that the purpose of these people was not to disturb the people of the Tang family, but to monitor them. Because of curiosity, one night he followed a snoop who left to report the situation. This made him know the identity of these people - the Jinyiwei. Xie Qu knew that his son was also the Jinyiwei, and he didn't understand why these people did this. Perhaps it was related to his previous visit to King Xin and Lord Sun. This made him vaguely feel that Tang Feng, a young man far away in Liaodong, would have some trouble. Xie Qu wanted to rush to Liaodong to protect the young man immediately, but now he could not leave his wife. Although it seems that these Jinyi secret spies did not mean to hurt the wife, he could not guarantee whether these people would suddenly be unfavorable to the wife. When Tang Feng asked him and Sun Chengzong to return to the capital, he had told him to take good care of the wife. Of course, he could not go against the young man's wishes and Madam She ignored it.
Just when he was in a dilemma, the secret spies that were spread around the house suddenly disappeared on the same day. Overnight, those who pretended to be pedestrians, vendors, or even spyed at night no longer appeared. This made the puzzle feel very strange, but he didn't feel happy at all. Instead, the uneasiness in his heart became even heavier. He couldn't guess what it was for.
Then two days later, the court suddenly came to the door of the Tang family. It was a small yellow gate. He actually came to read the imperial edict to the people of the Tang family. When Liu Hui solved the doubts and several servants in the family knelt down in the hall, he spread a roll of yellow silk about a foot long and read it loudly: "In accordance with the will of heaven, the emperor's edict said: It has been more than 200 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. No one in the four barbarians did not return home, but the only one in the Liaodong Jurchens..."
These words drafted by the Grand Secretary are just to solve the doubts. Liu Hui, and even Tang Feng may not be able to understand them all here. Therefore, the yellow gate was reading the script, while the person kneeling below was confused and did not understand what those who called each other meant.
It was not until the Huangmen read: "Now there is a censor Tang Feng who is loyal to the country, has made many military achievements, and has resisted the enemy outside the country. I feel very comforted..." It was when everyone realized the central meaning of this decree, which was to commend Tang Feng's merits. This made everyone feel relieved, and at the same time, they were happy that their master received such praise from the emperor. But they were not happy for a long time, but the bad news later came: "However, Tian was jealous of the talented talents, and because of his determination to make contributions, he went out of the city to pursue the enemy, so he was a bandit.
The surround is unclear about life and death, which is actually the misfortune of my great Ming Dynasty. Even so, his contribution is indelible, so he was specially promoted to the position of the Ministry of War. His wife, Liu, was well-mannered and virtuous, so he was granted the title of the seventh-rank imperial edict..." The yellow gate was still shaking his head and reading the words of the imperial edict, but the people who were kneeling down and listening to the faces changed drastically. After hearing that Tang Feng was unclear about life and death, they could no longer listen to any other rewards.
"I'm so proud of you, everyone!" After finally, the little yellow gate finished reading the imperial edict. He smiled and looked down at the lower body. But what caught the eye was a group of people in the Tang Mansion who were already stunned. "Thank you, everyone!" After waiting for a while, the little yellow gate reminded again that the voice was much higher this time. Then he woke Liu Hui up from the sadness and worry. She hurriedly knocked down and said, "My wife, Liu Hui, thank the emperor for your kindness!" At this time, the others bowed one after another.
After receiving the imperial edict, Liu Hui took the few taels of silver handed over to the little yellow gate, and then said with difficulty: "Dare you ask this father-in-law, what happened to my master in Liaodong?" The little yellow gate rolled his eyes when he heard this, thinking that I had read for a long time and found that you didn't listen to anything, but seeing that the other party was still counting, and he couldn't get angry with a woman, he said: "Mr. Tang fell into their ambush when he was chasing the retreating Jin army, and then he lost his message. I don't know anything else."
"Ah!" Although Liu Hui had heard the meaning just now, she just thought it was because she had a wrong idea. Now that she knew that it was indeed the case, she finally couldn't accept it anymore.
"Madam!" He was still quick to solve the problem. Before Liu Hui fell, he had already stepped forward to support her. After handing him over to Yun'er, the maid who had been serving Liu Hui, he grabbed the hand of the little yellow gate and said anxiously: "How could my young master be ambushed by the golden man? You should explain it soon!"
Seeing that the man dressed by the book boy was so rude, the little yellow gate wanted to get angry. Unexpectedly, before he could put down his face, a burst of pain came from his wrist. He immediately screamed, "It hurts! If you have anything to say, I'm not too late to say it again!" It turned out that the help of the doubt was anxious, and the power in his hands was a little too great. After he screamed, the answer of the doubt thought of his identity, immediately let go, and then looked at the other party anxiously. At this time, the little yellow gate was no longer
He dared to speak ill, and said honestly: "I don't know what's going on in the palace. But I heard that the Jin army came to attack our Liaodong, and Lord Tang led his army to defend Ningyuan and defeated them. Later, when he was pursuing the enemy, he was ambushed. Lord Tang and the tens of thousands of troops pursued were surrounded by the Jin people. The 30,000 army was completely wiped out, and only a few people fled back. However, Lord Tang and several other generals never returned. I'm afraid it's a lot of danger!"
After seeing off the person who sent the order, the entire Tang family fell into a sad mood. Although some of the servants here brought from Liu Hui from her hometown, some of them were newly bought, and they did not have a deep sense of master and servant with Tang Feng, they felt uncomfortable when they thought something happened to the pillars of the family, and they felt even more uncomfortable when they saw the wife like this.
At this time, after resting for more than an hour in the backyard, Liu Hui finally recovered a little. She called to solve the problem and ordered him to go to other places to find out the news, so that he could have a clearer understanding of the process of the matter. He had wanted to solve this problem for a long time, but he stayed at home to take care of everything because he was worried about Liu Hui's situation. After listening to Liu Hui's words, she answered the problem and said, "Madam, you wait at home, and I will soon find out the process of the matter."
Of course, he was very sure of solving the problem because he knew very well who he should meet and asked. This person was Sun Chengzong. After talking with Sun Chengzong all the way back to the capital, and the incident a month ago, he understood very well that although he had left Liaodong, he still had a great influence there and knew the situation there, so he had to go to see Sun Chengzong if he wanted to find out about Tang Feng's situation.
When night fell, he entered Sun Chengzong's mansion again. Although his question was very sudden, Sun Chengzong did not show any surprise. After seeing the doubts, he said, "I have been waiting for you for several days. It seems that it is not until today that someone told you about Tang Feng. Alas!" He sighed heavily.
Seeing him talking like this, he naturally understood that Sun Chengzong knew what happened in Liaodong, so he hurriedly asked, "Sir Sun, do you think my young master will have something to do? Also, I only know that the young master was trapped in Ningyuan before, and I don't know much about the future. You should tell me all the things happened, so I have a plan too."
Sun Chengzong looked at the anxious answering doubts, and was happy that Tang Feng had such a loyal partner, so he told everything he knew about Liaodong since Gao Di took office. It was indeed as Shun Ming thought, although Sun Chengzong was no longer in Liaodong, he knew clearly what happened there. After hearing what happened, a sudden burst of anger in Shun Ming's eyes: "My Lord Sun, according to what you said, my young master was in danger this time because of the man named Gao Di?"
Sun Chengzong said: "Yes, if he could defend Liaodong as I had arranged before, those Jianlu might not have retreated so easily, let alone set up ambush when retreating. And this time he also took the credit on himself and blamed the fault on Tang Feng. If it weren't for some unknown reason, I'm afraid that Tang Feng would be punished even if he sacrificed his life for the country!"
"This villain!" said hello, but then he focused on Tang Feng's life and death: "Sir, do you think my young master will be in danger this time? Where is he now?"
"I don't know this. After being surrounded by Jianlu, Tang Feng broke out from the north, and the subsequent events were not known by the Liaodong defenders. However, he had not returned to Liaodong at least three days ago. I think he might have escaped from danger, but he might not be able to easily return to the area we control in Liaodong. Even if he had reached his place further north!"
After knowing that Tang Feng had a great chance of living, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then he made up his mind to return to Liaodong and even go further north to find the young master.
