Chapter 143 Beizhou Tang Family
After dinner, Hui Chengyuan took Ling Feng Lingkong out.
Yuanman took Yuanbao for a nap before going out for a walk.
Hui Chengyuan came to the Tang family and revealed his identity directly.
The Tang family welcomed us warmly.
Hui Chengyuan took a look, narrowed his eyes slightly, and followed Tang Zhishu, the second master of the Tang family, into the hall.
"Second Master Tang, where is the head of the Tang family?"
There were many people sitting in this hall, but Tang Zhili was not one of them.
Tang Zhishu's smile remained unchanged, but his eyes darkened. "Your Highness, my elder brother has been ill since last year. He was seriously ill, so he was unable to come to see Your Highness. Please forgive me."
Hui Chengyuan looked at him, "What's wrong?"
"It's lung disease, plus overwork, so my illness is a little serious." Tang Zhishu lowered his head.
"Oh, why don't you report it?" Hui Chengyuan tapped the table lightly with his index finger.
Tang Zhishu took a look and said, "My elder brother wouldn't let me, saying that His Majesty is busy with the natural disaster and there's no need to worry about him."
"Uncle, I heard that there were distinguished guests at home, why didn't you tell my niece?" A crisp voice sounded outside the hall.
Tang Zhishu's face darkened, and he looked at Hui Chengyuan and smiled shyly, "Your Highness, please forgive me. This is my eldest brother's youngest daughter, and she has a rather erratic personality."
Hui Chengyuan looked at the girl who walked in, and raised his eyebrows slightly, "The head of the Tang family is sick, and Mrs. Tang is also sick?"
Tang Zhishu froze for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Since my eldest brother fell ill, my eldest sister-in-law has been worshipping Buddha in the temple and rarely goes out."
Tang Wanyi was stunned when she saw Hui Chengyuan sitting in the upper seat. After hearing Tang Zhishu's answer, she came back to her senses and said, "My mother is worshipping Buddha, but she would not be so rude as not to go out to greet a distinguished guest."
After that, he bowed to Hui Chengyuan and said, "I am Tang Wanyi, the youngest daughter of Tang Zhili. I was unable to greet Your Highness in time. Please forgive me."
Hui Chengyuan raised his hand slightly, "No need to be polite."
"So, all of the Tang family's people are sick except for Miss Tang?" This sentence was said while looking at Tang Zhishu.
Without waiting for Tang Zhishu to answer, Tang Wanyi snorted coldly and said, "Of course, whenever there are guests, my good second uncle will hide it from our big room and entertain them himself."
"If my daughter hadn't heard the letter today, I'm afraid everyone in our eldest house would have fallen ill."
"Your Highness, my eldest brother is currently away and has not been able to come back. Please forgive me, Your Highness. However, I have already sent someone to ask for my second and third brothers."
Hui Chengyuan looked at Tang Zhishu coldly, then looked at Tang Wanyi and asked, "Does your sister marry in Xizhou?"
Tang Wanyi shook her head, "No, I am the only daughter in our eldest house."
Hui Chengyuan then asked, "How is your father's condition?"
After hearing this, Tang Wanyi's eyes immediately turned red and she knelt down directly, "Your Highness, please make the decision."
Seeing her like this, Tang Zhishu knew what she wanted to do, so he immediately came over, pretending to help her, and whispered in her ear: "Just try to say it out loud. You know, the Tang family relies on the relationship between your father and His Majesty. Once your father dies, the Tang family will be nothing."
Tang Wanyi paused in her tears, then waved him away and said angrily, "So, for your own selfish desires, you have been hiding the news of my father's death and refused to let my father rest in peace!"
After hearing this, Hui Chengyuan looked at Tang Zhishu.
Tang Zhishu was seen trembling all over, as if he wanted to strangle Tang Wanyi to death.
Tang Wanyi knelt on the ground and cried, "Your Highness, my father has been dead for more than a month. My second uncle has refused to hold a funeral and even blocked our entry into my father's yard."
"Now, my father is afraid..."
Hui Chengyuan slammed his palm on the table, and the table shattered. "Tang Zhishu, you are so brave."
Tang Zhishu immediately knelt down beside Tang Wanyi, "Your Highness, Tang Wanyi is crazy..."
"Do you think this prince is stupid?" Hui Chengyuan said coldly: "Come, go to the Tang family master's yard and take a look."
"Yes." Ling Feng immediately bowed and walked out.
Seeing this, Tang Zhishu collapsed to the ground, then glared at Tang Wanyi fiercely, "You are going to destroy the Tang family."
"You're destroying the Tang family by doing this." Tang Wanyi glared back.
Hui Chengyuan lowered his eyes and looked at the two of them, then looked at the other people in the second room.
They didn't have any emotions at all. Aren't they afraid that what Tang Zhishu did would implicate them?
Yes, everyone in the second house looked at Tang Zhishu coldly. They did not plead for him or for themselves, but just watched coldly.
Hui Chengyuan retracted his gaze and asked, "Where is the eldest son of the Tang family?"
Tang Wanyi lowered her head. "My eldest brother went to look for something very important. Because he was not at home, my second uncle succeeded and took away everything that belonged to my eldest brother."
"What..." Tang Zhishu wanted to refute, but when he saw Hui Chengyuan's eyes, he immediately swallowed it back.
"What was lost?" Hui Chengyuan looked at Tang Wanyi.
Tang Wanyi hesitated whether to speak or not, but Tang Zhishu sneered.
At this time, Wan Yi's second brother Tang Nuoxi came in and bowed, saying, "Tang Nuoxi, the second son of the Tang family, greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"No need to be polite." Hui Chengyuan looked at him, who was a handsome man.
"Go ahead."
After thinking for a while, Tang Nuoxi knelt beside Tang Wanyi and said, "Your Highness, the golden medal of immunity from death that His Majesty gave to my father was lost. My elder brother went to look for the gold medal."
Hui Chengyuan frowned slightly. He had thought of every possibility, but he had never thought that they would lose the golden medal of immunity from death.
He discovered that since being with A-man, what he expected would never be the final truth.
"When was it lost?"
Tang Nuoxi bowed his head and said, "It was lost in Anhe thirty-two years ago. It has been nearly two years now."
Hui Chengyuan was curious. Who would have the golden medal of immunity from death and not hide it well? How could they lose it? "How did they lose it?"
Tang Nuoxi looked at Tang Zhishu, "Tang Zhishu brought back a stranger that day. After the stranger left after staying for three days, my father discovered that the gold medal was lost."
"My father didn't kick him out of the Tang family because he was my brother."
"And the reason why Tang Zhishu brought that man back was because he promised him a manor."
"But they haven't fulfilled their promise to him yet, and he only knows that they are merchants from Dongzhou, but he doesn't know their names."
"We don't take such a fool seriously, we just let him play with us."
Tang Zhishu glared at him but didn't say anything in reply.
Hui Chengyuan looked at him and said calmly, "So you guys acquiesced to him hiding the news of Patriarch Tang's death."
Tang Nuoxi was silent.
Tang Wanyi looked at her second brother as if she had just realized something.
Hui Chengyuan smiled. What an interesting family.
At this time, Ling Feng came back, "Your Highness, the courtyard of Patriarch Tang is empty. He is not in the courtyard. However, I found this in Patriarch Tang's study."
Ling Feng took out a gray-black lens.
Hui Chengyuan took it and took a look. Arsenopyrite, also known as arsenic pyrite, is poisonous.
"Do you know where this thing came from?"
Tang Nuoxi and Tang Wanyi both shook their heads. "This stone pair has been in my father's study for a long time."
