The Legend of Rebirth of the Demon Empress

Chapter 226 Breakdown
Tantaisong's expression relaxed, only to hear Cao Lang continue to say: "As for your family's livelihood, you don't have to worry about it. Our family has found a good place for them, and the men will go to the Xixin Department and wine vinegar The situation is on errands, girls, just go to the Jiaofang Division, and they can't do without a mouthful of food."

As soon as these words came out, Tantaisong's eyes lit up and he struggled violently.

Regardless of Tantai Song's anger, Cao Lang continued, "I might as well tell you that the killer who killed your concubine was actually hired by Dongchang in your name. Also, those people around Tantai Hanzhou, They were all sent by Dongchang.”

The four guards took a lot of effort to force Tantaisong to hold him down, and they heard him growling indistinctly, like a wounded tiger.

Cao Lang gave a low laugh, and a sinister smile filled his fair face.He leaned forward and leaned into Tantaisong's ear and said: "Now that things have happened, you can't blame other people. If you want to blame, blame you for being too stupid."

Tantaisong stared round, unable to understand the meaning of Cao Lang's words.

Cao Lang put away his smile and whispered a few words in Tantaisong's ear.

Tantaisong felt as if struck by lightning, with an unbelievable expression on his face.

"Your Majesty is a benevolent emperor through the ages, and will not take your life. But our account must be settled carefully. Just wait and see, our family will send your accomplices to the imperial prison one by one to accompany you Be together."

"And your family, our family will take good care of them."

Tantaisong's face turned ashen, he broke free from the bondage of the guards suddenly, fell down on the ground, and kowtowed to Cao Lang again and again.

Fearing that Tantaisong would hurt Cao Lang, the guards rushed forward and pushed Tantaisong to Cao Lang's feet.

Cao Lang looked down at the Tantai Pine beneath his feet, as if looking at an ant.He turned his head, and said to Fang Maochun: "Master Fang, you have worked hard on the case today, this Tantai Song, our family has to return to His Majesty, so we took him away."

Fang Maochun smiled all over his face, and he responded again and again, and several Dongchang fans pulled Tantaisong out of the lobby, like leading a bereaved dog.

The people listening to the trial looked contemptuous and pointed at Tantai loosely.

"Look at this Tantai Song, he looks like a dog. I didn't expect that he is not as good as a beast, even his own daughter-in-law!"

"Everyone in Beijing says that Tantai's family is a scholarly family, I am! What kind of nonsense scholarly family, it stinks!"

"Did you hear what little Eunuch Cao said just now? Everyone in Tantai's family will be confiscated. I remember that there is a young lady in Tantai's family who is very beautiful. Hehe, tell me, if she enters the Jiaofang Division, will she be enslaved?" Will you come out to accompany the guests?"

"Brother Wang, how could you have such an idea! Thanks to you being a scholar, acting like this is no different from a beast!"

"Brother Zhang, what you said is wrong. A fair lady, a gentleman is so good. I have admired Miss Tantai for a long time. In the past, Xiao couldn't think of it. Now that I have the opportunity, why can't I say it?"

The secrets of the noble households had already attracted attention, but this time the court took the initiative to disclose them. For a moment, the affairs of Tantai's family flew to every corner of the capital as if they had wings.

Lin Zisu was in a restaurant not far away, and the trial of Tantai's family attracted the attention of many people, and even the business of the surrounding restaurants was booming.

In order to attract people, the store also specially sent people to relay the situation in the government office back to the restaurant.

The trial in the main hall of Jingzhao Mansion has ended, and the restaurant chatted happily about this matter.The lobby was full of voices, and all the words were transmitted to the private room on the second floor.

Amber stood in front of the window on the second floor, opened her ears, listening to the chatter downstairs with great interest.While listening, she also conveyed some important information to Lin Zisu.

Lin Zisu couldn't laugh or cry because of her trouble, but he didn't want to interrupt her interest, so he had to let her mess around.

Lin Zisu heard all the discussions in the restaurant. To her, Tantaisong had something to do with her, but it didn't seem to have anything to do with her.

Tantaisong almost put the Lin family in a desperate situation. It is reasonable to say that the Lin family and the Tantai family have a sworn feud, and the Tantai family's fate is their own fault.

It's just that the Tantai family fell so quickly, it was beyond her expectation.

A hundred-year-old family fell apart just like that, and never made a splash in the court.

And these scandals of the Tantai family have also been revealed, and among the people, no one has any sympathy for the Tantai family.

Lin Zisu sighed, remembering that it was not too long before she came out, and was about to tell Amber to go back to the house together, when there was a rush of hooves downstairs.

"Hurry up! Eight hundred miles, hurry up!"

Downstairs, a sergeant galloped past on the street on horseback, and pedestrians on the road gave way one after another.

The so-called [-]-mile rush means that the people who summoned the messenger did not stop the whole process, and even the meals were settled on the horses.Every time they arrive at a post station, they will change into a horse until they reach their destination.

Generally speaking, sending an urgent letter of [-] miles will consume a lot of money for the messenger, and he will either die or be injured.Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, the letter will not be delivered urgently by [-] miles.

The people's attention immediately turned to the eight hundred li express letter from Tantai's house, and they all speculated about what happened.

Some people speculated that it was Beidi who invaded Luyuan again;
Some people speculate that the recent astronomical abnormalities must be due to floods in the south of the Yangtze River;
Some people speculated that the last time it took [-] li to expedite was the Longyou earthquake a few years ago.

For a moment, a layer of cloud was shrouded in the empty city above Beijing, the tea guests in the restaurant left their seats one after another, and the restaurant, which was still bustling just now, suddenly became deserted.

Without the hustle and bustle outside, Amber also felt that it was meaningless, and persuaded Lin Zisu to return home.

This time the situation was critical, not long after the two of them returned to the mansion, Lve Ying brought the urgent content of eight hundred miles from Yang Xingyao.

Zhao Quangui, the bandit leader in Guanzhong, went to the six cities of Guanzhong, and Qin Jing was in danger.

The wind and rain came suddenly, and I was caught off guard.

The raindrops slapped on the ground, splashing mud puddles.The water in the mud pits pooled together, forming one small river after another.

In the Forbidden City, civil and military officials who had just left the court meeting were urgently called together again because of this military report from afar.

All the officials were apprehensive. After a long time of peace, many officials encountered this kind of crisis for the first time, and they didn't know how to deal with it.

Among them, Fang Luan, Marquis of Weiyuan, was the one who was most worried.

Yesterday he had just made a deal with the emperor that the rebel bandits in Guanzhong were only suffering from scabies, and he had elected several of his confidants to act as the deputy for military affairs in Guanzhong. However, before the military order was issued, such a military report came back from Guanzhong.

Fang Luan himself relied on the military merits accumulated by suppressing the bandits, so he still had a very clear estimate of the combat power of the rebels.

The rebels who were able to conquer the six cities could not be dismissed at will, and there were also elite soldiers who had defected from the army.

"Your Majesty, I believe that since the country is safe and the barbarians are self-serving, those who want to fight against the outside world must first settle in. Now that the fighting in Beidi has ceased, the most urgent task is to negotiate peace with Beidi as soon as possible, and the Marquis of Chang'an will send his army westward to wipe out the rebels in Guanzhong. bandit."
