The splendid countryside of the princess

Chapter 144

As for Tang Sangui, a confused father, his daughter-in-law ignored him, and his children didn't get close to him.When Jia's family came to give a gift to propose marriage, they were called back to the ancestral house by old man Tang for a training session. Only then did they know that their daughter's marriage has been settled, and they will be married on the eighth day of next month.

Only then did I suddenly realize that my position in the hearts of my family members was no longer as good as before, or that I had no position at all!

On the eighth day of February, Tang Caoxiang came out of the pavilion. In order to save Tang Dai's face, Young Mistress Bai, accompanied by her maid and nanny, brought little laba and came over to congratulate Tang Caoxiang with makeup.

Tang Caoxiang was very grateful for a fine gold bracelet that Young Mistress Bai had added, and knowing that she gave it for the sake of the chick, she felt even more grateful to Tang Dai in her heart.

Although this time she got married due to a misfortune, the dowry was prepared in a hurry, but with Tang Dai supporting her behind her, there were a lot of things.Tang Dai's dowry, Jia's dowry, family prepared ones, and others, all added up, she also has 26 dowries. She has been in this Tangjia village for many years, but it is the first one, and Jia's in the town will not do it. Because of her shabby dowry, she was looked down upon by others.

Tang Dai and Young Mistress Bai walked out of the door of the ancestral house amidst Tang Sun's and Tang Caoxiang's thanks, but just after stepping out of the door of the ancestral house, the two came face to face. Tang Dai saw that it was Tang Sangui who had come back. Two concubines, master and servant.

The woman glanced at Tang Dai, and Young Mistress Bai glanced away, but no one could see the venomous glint in her eyes.Young Mistress Bai also looked at the woman's back a few more times before turning around and walking back with Tang Dai.

"Sister Bai, what's the matter?" Tang Dai asked suspiciously when she saw Young Mistress Bai staring at the woman's back.

"Why do I feel that this person is so familiar? The figure from the back is very similar to a person, but the face is completely different, and the maid beside him is also wrong."

"Really? Who is she like?" Tang Dai inadvertently asked, because there are many similar people in the world, the emperor also said that she resembles others very much.

"It's the woman who hurt me, my husband-in-law's cousin. But it's impossible, she doesn't look like her face. She didn't have any expression when she saw me just now, she doesn't seem to know me." Young Mistress Bai replied doubtfully. .

A bright light flashed through Tang Dai's mind, but it was too fast, Tang Dai didn't catch it.Greeting the puzzled Young Mistress Bai back to her home.

After Tang Juxiang got married, Tang Dai wholeheartedly led the people in the village to start planting chili peppers. Last year, the people in the village tasted the sweetness. This year, the whole village started planting peppers. Those who have land at home can only set aside a piece of land to grow some vegetables. For the family to eat vegetables, the rest of the land is prepared to plant peppers, so more pepper seedlings need to be grown.

Even the relatives of the villagers who lived in other villages asked Tang Dai if they wanted to plant them, and with her approval, they began to plant them. When there were more peppers, they could keep more peppers until they matured. They were red, and they could be picked to make hot sauce. Or dry it and grind it into powder to make chili powder. In this case, she has to start building a chili workshop now.

Tang Dai took the time to go to her grandfather's house to find her third uncle, and asked him to contact her for help, or invite those who built houses for her family to build them.After the third uncle responded, he found those people and came back to Tang Dai's house to tell Tang Dai that those people had a house under construction. If they waited for them, they would have to wait for some time, and they would come in about April of the lunar calendar. Think about it, Tang Dai When there was enough time, she agreed. She didn't like to find a group of strangers again. They didn't know each other well, but they had to get acquainted slowly.

It's just that the third uncle didn't look very happy when he came this time, and Tang Dai looked at it and asked what's wrong with the third uncle?Is there something wrong?

"Little girl, I know you are a warm-hearted person, so I don't want to tell you. I'm afraid you'll be worried. It's been two months since your little uncle went out after the Chinese New Year, and he hasn't heard from you. The family members are very anxious. Especially Your little aunt is still pregnant with a child. Your little uncle has been married to your little aunt for many years and has never had a child. Now that you have a child, your little uncle is very precious. It is impossible not to come and ask the mother and child for a long time. So, we are worried about what happened to your little uncle outside. I have been discussing with your eldest uncle and second uncle these days, and I am planning to go to the place where your little uncle runs his business. "

"Third uncle, what you said is outrageous. You are afraid that mother will worry, so you don't tell mother. I understand. But if you don't tell me, you don't regard me as your niece. Your decision is right, hurry up Go there, for better or for worse, there must be news."

"Yes, I'll go back and talk to them today, pack up and leave in the next two days."

"Then you guys are here, no matter what the situation is, you have to hurry up and send the news. Let us at home rest assured. Now, this is 50 taels of silver, and you can use it on the road. It's not much, it's just a little bit of care from me."

While talking, Tang Dai took out a bank note from her pocket and gave it to the third uncle. This was the deposit she was going to give to the third uncle to build a chili shop. Since this person can't come for the time being, it's useless , Just gave my uncle some money on the road.

"Ah, put it away quickly, I don't want it, because you are already well-off at home, what money do you give me? I won't accept it." When the third uncle saw it, he hurriedly put it off. How much, this can not be charged.

"Put it up, third uncle, a little care of mine counts as a little effort from me. Don't push, I'll be angry if you push me." Seeing her uncle push, Tang Dai lowered her face in displeasure. To me, 50 taels of silver is really not much.Seeing that the little niece was upset, the third uncle had no choice but to accept it.

At night, while sitting in the study thinking about my little uncle, Xiaobai pushed open the door and walked in. During this time, Xiaobai had been arranged by Tang Dai to investigate the affairs of the Jiang Mansion. Find out everything that caused their Jiang family to fall.

"Miss, the matter has been investigated clearly, and the opportunity has come." Xiao Bai reported to Tang Dai.

"Okay. What is the opportunity?"

"Jiang County Prime Minister secretly used his power to usurp the ancestral treasures of a family, and used tricks to almost destroy the family. Fortunately, the father and son got the news in advance, arranged for the family, and escaped. Now the two are out Having made a fortune and gained some power, he came back to Chang'an County unwillingly. Today, he handed over the pleading paper to County Magistrate Wang and sued Cheng Jiang County. He also threatened that if County Magistrate Wang could not deal with it fairly, they would Report to the provincial capital."

"In addition, since Xiaoqing followed the eldest lady, Jiang Xiaoren never dared to harass the eldest lady, and his ancestral family found all kinds of excuses not to allow him to go, so staying in Chang'an County can be said to be evil, and he has done all kinds of bad things. On the street half a month ago He fell in love with the daughter of a vegetable vendor who set up a small stall, so he secretly followed her to find her home, pestering that family's daughter every day, just the day before yesterday, the vegetable vendor couple went out to sell vegetables, leaving the girl at home alone, Jiang Xiaoren took advantage of that The woman was unguarded, and he locked her in the house and was forcibly broken by him. When I arrived, he had already succeeded. I didn't expect that woman to be a violent woman, and she wanted to commit suicide in front of Jiang Xiaoren. Jiang Xiaoren was afraid of taking responsibility, so she Regardless of the woman, I ran away in a panic, and the woman was rescued by me, and now the woman's family is arranged by me in another yard."

"Miss, as long as the father and son, as well as the woman's family, file the pleadings at the same time, and we will assist them, plus what happened before, I will find out everything for them. gone."

"Okay, very good, Xiaobai, you did a good job. You were caught by surprise and killed with one blow. It's time for the father and son to pay for the evil they have done all these years."

"Yes, miss, what do you think we should do next?"

"Take the initiative to contact the father and son you just mentioned, and tell him that our purpose is the same as theirs, and let them join us. If they don't believe it, give them a little bit of the evidence we found, let them know, Of course they'll believe it."

"Also, the family of the woman you saved may be concerned about the woman's reputation, or be retaliated against, and refuse to sue and testify in court. You are a man, and it is difficult to communicate with them about this kind of thing. I will accompany you tomorrow. You go to the small courtyard you arranged together, and I will talk to them."

"Yes, Miss. Then shall I go to the father and son first tonight?"

"Go, go early, go back early, and rest early."

After listening to Tang Dai's order, Xiao Bai disappeared into the study.

Tang Dai sneered, "Jiang Xiaoren, I've waited for so long, and the opportunity has finally come. You harmed my mother and attempted to harm my second sister, so don't let me do it harshly."Also, Jiangxian Cheng, you only blame yourself for giving birth to a cheating son, and you also blame yourself for not educating yourself well.

The next day, Xiaobai, Xiaoqing, and Tang Dai went to the small courtyard where Xiaobai arranged for the family of three. When Tang Dai told them to sue the son of Jiangxian Cheng, the family didn't dare, they just kept saying thank you Xiaobai. Bai saved his daughter, but he had nothing to repay, and he didn't agree to anything else.

"Uncle, Auntie, I know what you are afraid of. One is that the Cheng family of Jiang County will retaliate against your family, and the other is that your daughter's reputation will be lost if there is a lawsuit. Don't worry, As long as you agree to go to the county government to sue Jiang Xiaoren as a bastard, I will arrange the rest of your life. Don't you want to avenge your daughter?"

"Girl, why don't we want to take revenge? It's not an exaggeration to cut this beast into pieces! But, how dare we plain-headed people go against the magistrate of a county, the magistrate?"

The woman's father, whom Tang Dai called uncle, had a face full of vicissitudes, and his big hands were cracked by frostbite. It was impossible to tell that he was a man in his 30s, but he seemed to be in his 50s. Hearing what Tang Dai said, she said angrily.

"Uncle, I knew you guys were worried about this. I just want to ask you now, do you want to take revenge and how determined you are. As long as you have the determination, I will help you. You have to trust me, and I will say it." It can be done. Moreover, like you, I also have hatred against their family, but because I have no evidence, I can’t do anything about them, so I asked you for help.”

"Girl, is what you said true? Your family has enmity with them too?"

"It's absolutely true. Otherwise, what am I doing to find you? Uncle, believe me, I will let you see that the father and son are in prison. You don't have to worry about their family retaliation. After revenge, I will I will arrange for you to leave Chang'an County and live in the provincial capital for a while, to avoid this for a while, and when the limelight passes, you will go back to Chang'an County if you want to live in Chang'an County. And this young lady, I think she looks good, She is also very clever, if your family is willing, she is willing to follow me from now on, I just need a maid who will serve me personally."

"Girl has said so much, I still don't know your name, where does your family live?"

"My name is Tang Dai, and my nickname is Xiaoniu. My family lives in Tangjia Village. My brother and I cultivated the double-cropped rice. Uncle must have heard of it."

"Ah, it turned out to be Miss Tang, I blame my poor eyesight. How can I not know, the story of your family has been spread throughout Chang'an County. It is said that you are both a scholar at the same time, and you have cultivated two seasons of rice, and even the emperor rewarded you Yes. Miss Tang, I believe you, if you had said earlier that it was you, Miss Tang, you wouldn't have to waste such a lot of talking."

"Uncle won the award, it's just a rumor, it's not so good." Tang Dai said modestly.

"Miss Tang, my surname is Li. You can call me Lao Li. My daughter's name is Li Yu. I am sorry that Miss Tang is so caring. Just tell us what we should do, and we will do it."

"Okay. I heard from Xiaobai that when Jiang Xiaoren left, because Sister Li resisted fiercely, something was left behind in your house in fright? The things he left behind are the most direct and best evidence."

"Yes, the one that fell was the jade pendant on his body, and a pair of dirty pants that he didn't have time to wear. The dirty pants were stained with the dirty things on his body. I think it's dirty, so I threw it in the corner and haven't seen it yet. I had time to take it out and throw it away. I don’t know if it’s useful?”

"It's very useful. Don't touch his things for the time being. After you sue him, the clerk of the yamen will come to investigate the evidence at the scene. This time, the villain, the beast, will definitely get what he wants. .”

"Okay, we all listen to the girl, but we don't know how to write the pleadings, so when should we go to the Yamen?"

"Tomorrow, tomorrow I will send someone, the pleadings will be written according to your instructions, and then my people will take you to the Yamen. And, Uncle Li, you will see something that will make you happy tomorrow."

"Miss Tang, we'll just wait and see, and see if that beast will die a bad life." Uncle Li said again bitterly.

"Uncle Li, then I will take my leave."

Tang Dai got up and followed Xiaoqing out of the small courtyard. Xiaoqing was driving. In order to avoid accidents, Xiaobai had to stay here to protect the family and have evidence.

The two of them didn't go back to Tangjia Village, because they still had something to do, so Tang Dai went to Changqing Restaurant, and the shopkeeper Ouyang warmly greeted them.

"Little girl, I haven't seen you for a long time. What are you doing hiding in Tangjia Village? You two masters, you can really believe me. Mr. Ouyang hasn't come for a year, and you won't come for half a year either." Ouyang The shopkeeper complained resentfully like a little daughter-in-law.

"Ha, doesn't this mean that the shopkeeper Ouyang is very capable and fully qualified to be the shopkeeper here. You see, if we don't come, this big restaurant is not under your good management."

"Small mouth is really sweet! Well, are you here today for business?"

"It's something, shopkeeper Ouyang, can you write pleadings?"

Everyone around Tang Dai knew martial arts but not literature, and she herself didn't understand the format of these ancient things, so she couldn't write well, and she was afraid of making a joke, so she went up to the second floor with the shopkeeper Ouyang and asked him.

"Little girl, what's the matter? What's the matter?" Shopkeeper Ouyang jumped when he heard that he was going to write a pleading paper.

"It's no big deal. I saw the injustice, so I drew my sword to help, and answered for others. It's not good if I don't write. But I can't read a few words, so I can't write a pleading paper, so I came here to ask shopkeeper Ouyang to write for me. "

"You... When did you start meddling in your own business? Let's go, go to the study, tell me what happened, and I'll write it for you. Thank you for thinking of me, otherwise, I guess I won't be able to remember Changqing What about the restaurant. Haha..." Shopkeeper Ouyang laughed at the end when he said that, this chick really doesn't come to the door without asking for help.

In the study, the shopkeeper Ouyang was stunned for a while after hearing what Tang Dai said. He found that the matter was not as easy as Tang Dai said, and the chick was not trying to meddle in her own business. It is estimated that the Jiang family would look for the chick again and again. The family is in trouble, and she is offended. She is acting as a behind-the-scenes pusher, borrowing the hands of others to bring down the Jiang family!

Sigh, don't mess with anyone, don't mess with Tang Xiaoniu, she's smiling at you in front of her, but when she turns around, she'll kill you!
Seeing that Tang Dai believed in him so much, the shopkeeper Ouyang immediately became serious. According to Tang Dai's narration, he carefully wrote the pleading paper and handed it to Tang Dai.

Tang Dai looked at it and nodded, and praised the shopkeeper Ouyang for his good writing. She didn't give any other advice. She believed in the shopkeeper Ouyang. They have been dating for so long, so he is worthy of her trust!
And the shopkeeper Ouyang is indeed worthy of Tang Dai's trust, and he kept his mouth shut on this matter, except for one other person, that is Ouyang Qing in the capital, and the shopkeeper Ouyang passed the news to Ouyang Qing in the capital.

Ouyang Qing from the Princess Mansion in Beijing, when he received the news from Ouyang's shopkeeper, suddenly felt a world away. Only then did he realize that since Dai Dai returned to the capital last year, the two had not been in touch with each other, and Xiaobai and Xiaoqing had been formally ordered by him. From now on, I will follow Tang Dai, the master, without sending him any news.

If it wasn't for the news from shopkeeper Ouyang, he would never have dared to dig out the memories of him and Tang Dai in his mind. After waking up drunk that night, he had been decadent for a long time. He wanted to fight again, but his cousin and mother Kissing these two big mountains made him breathless, and sometimes he hated himself for being cowardly in dealing with emotions, but what could he do?

With his cousin Feng Rongruo who is bound to win, disregarding the brotherhood of more than ten years?Or marry Dai Dai into the mansion regardless of the feelings of the princess mother?The key point is that Dai Dai has always regarded him as a friend in her heart.No matter how you look at it, he has no chance of winning!
After reading the news, Ouyang Qing decided to come to Chang'an County to see Tang Dai. Even if he could only be friends in the future, he would keep this feeling in his heart, care about her as a friend, and protect her!

On the second day, Tang Dai gave the pleading paper to Ying Ying. The people around her, Xiaoqing and Xiaobai, had appeared in front of others, so they were not suitable for this matter.Although Shadow was unwilling to leave Tang Dai, he couldn't disobey her orders, because Tang Dai said that if he didn't obey her orders, he would let him come back wherever he came from!
Without the recall from his master, Feng Rongruo, if he ran back, wouldn't he be courting death!

Reluctantly, he had no choice but to take the pleading paper and Jiang Xiaoren's jade pendant, and took the family of three to the yamen, thinking in his heart, why is it so troublesome for the young lady to do things, if it is the master, I will arrest them and interrogate them in front of that county magistrate , not everything will be resolved.

Oh, master, I miss you so much!Shadow sighed inwardly, he was thinking of Feng Rongruo's way of dealing with the enemy simply and neatly.

Tang Dai needs to know that her master, in Ying Ying's heart, is just a woman's way of doing things. If mother-in-law and mother-in-law are dawdling, they will probably roll their eyes angrily.

After handing over the pleadings, everything went according to Tang Dai's plan. After the hearing that day, County Magistrate Wang sent Jiang County Prime Minister and Jiang Xiaoren directly to prison. Zhezi reported to Fucheng, and waited for a reply from above, and sentenced the two together.

The county magistrate Jiang Xiaoren, who was thrown into prison, was still dizzy. He had been doing evil for many years, and all the witnesses and physical evidence were completed overnight. They didn't even have time to react. After they reacted, even if they wanted to Find someone to intercede, but in the face of evidence, who would dare?
The two people who teamed up with Tang Dai's family saw that the father and son of the Jiang family had finally been imprisoned, that his family's grievances had finally been appealed, and that their family's justice had been redressed. Borrowing the hands of the two of them, but they are willing, because only relying on the two of them, the Jiang family will not fall so quickly, and there is not even a single intercessor!

The two who thought it would take a lot of effort, now just sit and wait for the verdict to come down, and then return to the field. Although they are a little curious about the people they teamed up with, they know, know a lot, and die quickly. Be tight-lipped thereafter!
