The residence of the Prince's Young Master, Tao Mansion.
In the main hall, Tao Yao, the Tao family's son, sat on both sides with his face like the bottom of a pot.
The letter was sent by Tanma from Qianqi Camp half an hour ago, and was given to Tao Shaozhang.
After Tao Shaozhang read the letter, he went to his father and asked him to impeach Zhang Songling.
Tao Yao was very confused. After asking, he found out that Tao Shaozhang had done some tricks to deal with the Li family, and now he was targeting the Zhang family again.
"no!"
Tao Yao's beard trembled with anger: "Chu Qing is the deputy commander of the Qianqi Battalion, the emperor's own army. If something happens, at least he can escape unscathed. You are a young minister of Dali Temple. You are trying to kill our Tao family." ah!"
After scolding, Tao Yao looked at Tao Ruolin who was yawning next to her: "Lin'er, why don't you persuade your elder brother?"
"Oh." Tao Ruolin rubbed her eyes and looked at Tao Shaozhang: "Brother, it's not my sister who is talking about you. You told dad so clearly what to do, but you still say it even though you know dad is ignorant. Really, if this happens again in the future , just make up any excuse to fool him."
Tao Shaozhang sighed: "Brother was negligent."
Tao Yao: "..."
"Dad." Tao Shaozhang sighed and said, "When a man walks in the world, he must take care of injustices. As for the Zhang thief, it is not convenient for me to tell you in detail at this time, so just..."
"You bastard, everything is unfair, it's all unfair, you can take care of it, but you can take care of others, but you kill your own relatives!"
Tao Ruolin covered her mouth and yawned: "Dad, in this capital, Ma Shan is being ridiculed. You can scare Xiao Xiao by being tough occasionally."
"How dare you talk back!" Tao Yao pointed at Tao Shaozhang, who had a confused face: "I am tough, no matter how tough I am, how can you not be as powerful as you, the young minister of Dali Temple, who checks accounts and takes people, who in the capital can do it? I don’t know if you speak up for Tao Shaozhang!”
Tao Shaozhang's face was filled with confusion.
I said something and you sprayed me. I didn't say that you should be tough.
Tao Ruolin smiled and said: "Okay, okay, Dad, don't be angry. What will happen if you impeach me? Brother and the others can do the rest. Brother has a sense of propriety."
"You still have sense of proportion, you have so much sense of proportion!" Tao Yao pointed at Tao Shaozhang and shouted: "You don't even look at how many pounds you have. If you don't talk about this, you just talk about the tax inspection. You almost failed. The human life lawsuit has ruined the Tao family’s reputation!”
Tao Ruolin didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Dad, what you said is wrong. Didn't my elder brother show his innocence among the scholars?"
"You still have the nerve to say that!" Tao Yao yelled at Tao Shaozhang: "I took the lives of my whole family in exchange for a clear name. I don't care about this clear name!"
Tao Shaozhang finally couldn't bear it anymore: "Dad, what do you always scold me for? It's not me who said it, it was my eldest sister who said it."
"You still dare to quibble, what Lin'er said is exactly what you think!"
Tao Shaozhang: "..."
Tao Ruolin saw that her eldest brother was being sprayed like a dog, she rubbed her eyebrows and said, "Dad, in short, you must impeach Zhang Songling tomorrow, that's it."
"Hurrah!"
Tao Yao was completely anxious. He stood up suddenly, pointed at Tao Shaozhang and shouted: "How dare you order your father to wake up? You Tao Shaozhang, am I your father or are you my father?"
Tao Shaozhang glared at Tao Ruolin: "Mei, please stop talking, okay?"
"Damn it, if you dare to teach Lin'er a lesson, I'll beat you to death!"
"I…"
Tao Ruolin stood up, pressed Tao Yao on the stool, brought the teacup and handed it over: "Dad, don't be angry, please drink some tea first."
"Daddy is not thirsty." Tao Yao's face changed and he said cheerfully: "Lin'er is filial, daddy is not thirsty, you drink, you drink, don't let your big brother make you angry."
Tao Shaozhang wanted to ask, "Why? I was dug out of the ground when you were farming. We both have the surname Tao. There must be a huge gap."
"Dad, listen to your daughter, she knows that you are not interested in power and position, but think about it, the eldest brother is in a high position at a young age. The position of the young minister of Dali Temple is watched by countless people, so you just want to be like the one in the mountains. Tiger, big brother is a tiger cub, you are the tiger king. There are so many monkeys, leopards, and monsters in the mountains, but they are not afraid of big brother, a tiger cub. At least you should come out and roar twice to scare these clowns. Otherwise, outsiders would think that our Tao family can be bullied."
"Hmm~~~" Tao Yao nodded: "What Lin'er said has always been very reasonable."
Tao Shaozhang: "Yes, Dad, if you don't come out and roar a few times, the monkeys, leopards and the like will think you have died in the cave."
"You bastard, I'll beat you to death!"
Tao Ruolin quickly stopped her father and glared at Tao Shaozhang fiercely.
Tao Yao sighed deeply and looked at Tao Ruolin with all kinds of helplessness: "Your eldest brother has a stupid head and a pedantic air. It would be great if Lin'er were a man."
Tao Ruolin said with a smile: "My daughter is not in bad shape. I will be your daughter and be filial to you for the rest of my life."
After finishing speaking, Tao Ruolin stood behind Tao Yao and gently squeezed Lao Tao's shoulders.
Tao Yao gently patted the back of Tao Ruolin's hand and opened his mouth, but in the end he could only sigh.
After being silent for a long time, Tao Yao finally looked at Tao Shaozhang.
"Remember dad's words. Now that Tao's family is in the capital, dad has become the prince's young master, and you have become the young minister of Dali Temple. This huge family fortune is all earned by your sister. Lin'er will spend her whole life. You have earned your reputation, so you must think twice before doing anything in the future, and don’t let your sister’s hard work go to waste.”
Tao Shaozhang's eyes were a little moist, he looked at the ground and nodded slightly.
Tao Ruolin pressed her forehead to the back of Tao Yao's head and said with a smile: "It's not like what you said. It's just that outsiders think that the daughter is Bihua and Bihua is the daughter. Adding to the rumors, slowly, Your daughter has turned into an ugly old woman. It would be best if she could not find a husband. My daughter will be filial to you for the rest of her life."
"Lin'er, don't worry, dad will definitely find a good family for you."
"I don't want you to worry about it. If my daughter likes her, she will run away with her immediately. She is not filial to you."
"Okay, you can't ask for it, you can't ask for it." Tao Yao laughed and said: "If I, Tao Yao, who has eyes above my head and has a daughter in my hand, have eyes for a man, even if he is a trafficker and a lackey, I will try my best to get him to come and propose marriage."
After finishing speaking, Tao Yao sighed again: "But my daughter, your reputation..."
"Then my daughter will find someone with a worse reputation than me."
Tao Yao was amused. Tao Ruolin looked at Tao Shaozhang and said with a smile: "Brother, you are the young minister of Dali Temple. In the past, didn't you always punish those playboys with a bad reputation in the capital? Why don't you find one for me soon?"
Tao Shaozhang didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "There are countless dandies with bad reputations in Beijing. Not to mention dandies, even young heroes are not worthy of you, my eldest sister."
"Then find the one with the worst reputation."
"The one with the worst reputation?" Tao Shaozhang also knew that Tao Ruolin was joking, so he pretended to be serious and said: "To say that the person with the worst reputation in Beijing in the past few years must be Chu, who is called a living beast by the people of Bei City..."
Halfway through, Tao Shaozhang was stunned for a moment, raised his head, and looked at Tao Ruolin with a strange expression, his eyes inexplicable.
Tao Ruolin blinked her big eyes at Tao Shaozhang, leaned over and said to Tao Yao: "Dad, it's settled. My daughter is going to have a rest. She can't be angry with her eldest brother anymore. She's not smart enough in the first place. You always scold him. It’s even more stupid.”
Tao Shaozhang opened his mouth, but still didn't dare to say anything.
Tao Ruolin poured Tao Yao another cup of tea and skipped out of the main hall.
Tao Yao glanced at Tao Shaozhang slightly, and sighed: "Now our Tao family has become famous and has accumulated a lot of family property, but you act so recklessly, why don't you call me daddy? If one of you makes trouble, the consequences will be dire. This son It’s gone, it can be reborn, but what should we do if our family fortune is gone?”
Tao Shaozhang: "..."
"Tell your father what's going on."
"I don't know the specific details. I only know that Qianqi Camp has raised two hundred and five thousand and three guans and two hundred coins."
Tao Yao was slightly shocked: "With so much money, where will it be used and how will it be returned?"
"My son has little idea of what it will be used for. He only knows that it will be returned. When the matter is done, the 190,000 yuan will be returned."
"Don't you still have fifteen thousand and three guans and two hundred Wen? It's not arithmetic. Why are you so confused?"
Tao Shaozhang sighed silently: "My son is not good at mathematics, but I understand Chu Qing."
