In the Tang Mansion, everyone knew what Tang Huai felt and did not dare to say too much. After paying condolences, they said a few words of comfort and left in a hurry.
There is something different from other wealthy families in the capital, that is, the people in the main lineage of the Tang family are not strong. Among the three brothers, Tang Huai only has one son, and Tang Qi also has one son. Tang Jing's daughter was picked up from outside.
Although this can ensure that there will be no tragedy between the same clan and the struggle for power and profit, there is also the biggest disadvantage, that is, if the legitimate son dies, the huge family will lose their heirs.
Of course, it is not difficult to solve this problem. The head of the Tang family has just entered middle age. Although he is no longer as fierce as a young man, he still has the ability to marry a few concubines and have a few more sons before leaving.
If you don’t want to marry a concubine, and you are dedicated to your family, and choose one from the sidelines or second-person rooms, there is no precedent.
Obviously, today's Tang Shangshu, the head of the Tang family, Tang Huai, not only immersed in the pain of losing his son, but also needs to consider this issue.
Big brother Tang Qi came over and looked at Tang Huai, speaking hoarsely
The Tang family suffered a huge change, and the impact and losses caused were much greater than the party struggles with King Kang. In the past two days, the Tang family was full of sadness.
Tang Huai looked dull and said: Let Zhaoer come back
Tang Zhao went to Jiangnan a month ago. If it went well, it was only a few days later. However, after Tang Jing's death, he was the only male member of the Tang family who was the most qualified to inherit the family. Naturally, he could not stay outside anymore.
Tang Qi looked at Tang Huai, and nodded for a long time and said: I'll send someone to bring him back now.
Tang Huai was silent for a moment and asked again: Has the murderer been found?
Tang Qi shook his head and said: Not yet
Tang Huai patted his clothes and said: Let me prepare, I want to come to the palace to meet the saint.
……
Two days have passed, and there is no clue in Tang Jing's case. Chen Huang had just scolded the Minister of Justice and the Minister of Dali Temple. Not long after he sat back on his seat in anger, an eunuch came forward to report that the Minister of Rites Tang Huai asked for a meeting.
When Chen Huang heard Tang Huai's name, he had a headache, but he calmed down and said: Xuan He came in
A moment later, Tang Huai walked into the hall, knelt down, and said: I beg your Majesty to give Jing'er justice!
Chen Huang stood up, walked down, helped him up in person, and said: Don't worry, even if you don't have these words, I will find out the truth about this case.
When he said this, his face was a little stern. The prince consort he had just chosen just now was corpse on the street in a few days. This was not only a provocation to the Tang family, but also a provocation to his emperor's majesty.
No matter who killed Tang Huai, he would find him. No matter who was instructing him behind his back, he would uproot him and would never tolerate him!
His face was gloomy, and a light suddenly flashed through his mind. He looked at a eunuch behind him and said: Summon Gongsun Ying to meet him
Soon, a middle-aged woman walked slowly into the hall and bowed and said: Gongsun Ying, please see Your Majesty!
Emperor Chen looked at her and asked: Dali Temple has screened out more than a dozen of the most suspected criminals, but they all denied the crime. Is there any way for them to speak the truth?
Gongsun Ying raised her head and said: You can try it
Half an hour later, more than ten prisoners with handcuffs and shackles were escorted into the palace from Dali Temple. After the eldest son of the Tang family was killed, the government arrested many people from the capital. Most of them were gangsters with criminal records. They bullied men and women on weekdays and did some stealing things. This time, they were all unlucky and suffered a lot in Dali Temple.
Although many people were arrested, none of them pleaded guilty and no clues were found. Dali Temple had to select more than ten people with the most suspected suspects and first deal with the job.
More than a dozen people were taken to a side hall, and soon one person was taken out
In a certain hall, Gongsun Ying looked at the prisoner and said: Unlock his shackles.
The prisoner had already received various punishments in Dali Temple and was exhausted. Although the woman in front of him seemed to be no threat, her eyes were a little chilling
He subconsciously took a few steps back, but the woman opposite suddenly shook her hand, and a black light shot out from her sleeve. Then, he noticed that something seemed to be attached to his face and drilled into his nostrils.
He covered his face and said in fear: What is this...
The next moment, the sound from his throat turned into a shrill scream. He covered his head and kept rolling on the ground.
Gongsun Ying walked up and asked: Tell me, did you kill the eldest son of the Tang family?
The man covered his face and his voice came from his fingers: It’s not me, it’s not me, let me go, let me go!
Gongsun Ying stood aside and looked at him coldly
The man hugged his head and rolled around on the ground, roaring constantly
It's not me, it's not me... I, I have killed someone, but I haven't killed the eldest son of the Tang family. It's not me, please spare me...
Give me aside, spare me aside...
It's so uncomfortable, please, please kill me, kill me!
Kill me Ah!
……
The prisoner covered his head and rolled around on the ground, with a smaller and smaller amplitude. His voice changed from the initial scream to a depressing roar. I don’t know how long it took, but his body twitched a few times, and then he stood still and stopped and then silenced.
Gongsun Ying leaned over and looked back at Emperor Chen and said: Your Majesty, he bit his tongue and committed suicide
Tang Huai glanced at Gongsun Ying, and a trace of defense appeared deep in his eyes.
Chen Huang looked at the corpse on the ground with a blank expression and said: Next
When the second criminal was taken into the hall, he walked to the door and saw the body of the person in front of him being carried in. His face turned pale and he struggled and said: I didn’t kill the person, I won’t go, I won’t go...
He was dragged in by two guards, and soon there was another shrill scream in the hall.
In the side hall, more than ten famous prisoners watched their companions be taken out one by one, but none of them came back. The fear in their hearts began to be infinitely amplified, and the atmosphere gradually became riots, but they were suppressed by the guards.
In another hall
A man curled up and rolled back and forth on the ground, saying: I killed the person, I killed him, please give me some fun!
Gongsun Ying asked: Since you killed it, where are the clothes and property you stolen?
The man trembled and said: Silver, the silver is spent, the clothes are burned...
Gongsun Ying asked again: What color of clothes is he wearing?
The man said: Red, no, white, white, I killed the man, please kill me...
Gongsun Ying stood up straight, looked at Emperor Chen, and shook her head
Under the Gu punishment, although many of these people admitted their crimes, they still couldn't bear this pain. They wanted to end it earlier or simply seek death, but they were not the real murderer.
During the process, I asked about some serious crimes that they had done on weekdays that were enough to lose their heads, but they still had nothing to do with Tang Jing's case.
Emperor Chen looked gloomy, covered his mouth and nose, and walked straight out of the hall
Gongsun Ying glanced at the person who had stopped twitching on the ground and followed Tang Huai out. These people were incontinent because of extreme pain. At this moment, a violent stench was emitted in the hall.
The two little eunuchs were flushed and couldn't wait to walk out, breathing fresh air in big mouthfuls.
In the imperial study room, Chen Huang took a shower and changed his clothes, and felt a little more comfortable. He sat above, looked at Tang Huai, and said: You have also seen that these people are not murderers. Think about it again, who else has such a motive, and who has such a deep hatred with the Tang family?
Tang Huai thought for a while and said: Go back to Your Majesty, please forgive me for being bold and blunt, there are indeed two people who have such a deep hatred with the Tang family...
There is something different from other wealthy families in the capital, that is, the people in the main lineage of the Tang family are not strong. Among the three brothers, Tang Huai only has one son, and Tang Qi also has one son. Tang Jing's daughter was picked up from outside.
