First Lady of the Crown Prince

Chapter 936 The shady couple (first update)

Today is Gu Xiaoshun's birthday. Yao took Gu Xiaobao to a tea shop early in the morning to buy tea and snacks. He never expected to encounter such a thing.

A madman actually set fire to the tea shop. The fire on the first floor had been put out, but none of the guests who were stranded in the wing on the second floor dared to rush there.

 For no other reason, this madman poured kerosene all over the corridor and the backyard.

He was standing on the roof, holding a torch in his right hand. There were several large holes on the roof, facing the stairs and corridors.

No one can guarantee that this madman will not throw the torch in his hand when he is escaping.

The reason why Yuyaer came out was because Gu Xiaobao shouted that she wanted to eat candied haws, so she went to buy a bunch across the street. As soon as she gave the money, the fire started.

The tea shop is at the corner of the east end of Chang'an Avenue, not far from Bishui Hutong.

When Gu Jiao and Xiao Heng rushed to the scene, the nearby officials were also frightened. In order to prevent unnecessary harm, the officials used themselves as a wall to keep the people away from each other.

Several shops opposite were crowded with people watching.

 At this time, the tokens from Renshou Palace no longer work.

 Fortunately, Xiao Heng has an official position in the Ministry of Punishment.

 “Investigation by the Ministry of Punishment.” He handed over his warrant from the Ministry of Punishment to the official of Jingzhao Prefecture.

After checking the warrant and confirming that it was genuine, the officer's expression softened a bit, and then he looked at Gu Jiao again: "Who is she?"

Xiao Heng said without changing his expression: "The doctor invited by the Ministry of Punishment."

There was too much movement, and many people were indeed injured.

The official did not doubt his presence and let the two of them in.

When the two of them came to the front of the tea shop, they unexpectedly saw a familiar figure.

Gu Jiao blinked in shock: "Tang Yueshan?"

Tang Yueshan covered his abdomen with his left hand. Blood seeped out from his fingertips. His face was pale and his breathing was rapid.

-he got hurt.

He heard Gu Jiao's voice and turned to look at Gu Jiao. At the same time, he also saw Xiao Heng. He frowned and stopped talking.

 It can be seen that he is very embarrassed and embarrassed.

The two of them looked at the arsonist on the roof of the building at the same time.

The other person was disheveled and looked embarrassed, and it took a lot of effort for the two of them to recognize who he was.

 “Tang Ming?” Gu Jiao was confused.

 “It’s him.” Xiao Heng said.

The last time I saw Tang Ming was two or three years ago. No matter how dark and disdainful he was at that time, he was at least a romantic young man on the surface.

He is completely different from the crazy and embarrassed arsonist in front of him.

"What happened?" Gu Jiao asked Tang Yueshan, then glanced at his abdomen, "You are injured."

 “I’m fine.” Tang Yueshan said.

 “Did he do it?” Gu Jiao was referring to Tang Ming.

With Tang Yueshan's martial arts, in a single fight, it would be difficult for anyone to hurt him unless those big guys came forward.

Tang Yueshan sighed: "After I returned to the capital, I found him hanging out with some unscrupulous people. I had a big fight with him and he ran away from home. This morning I found him lying in a gambling room. Fang, is taking Five Stone Powder with those people."

Wushi Powder, a medicine for treating typhoid fever.

  However, this drug has certain side effects, which can make people feel trance-like and produce effects similar to ecstasy.

 Long-term consumption may cause addiction.

No wonder Tang Ming's mental state seemed wrong.

Tang Yueshan's mood was very complicated, with anger and annoyance: "I beat those people...beat him up too, and ordered him not to associate with them again in the future, otherwise I will kill them all!"

Gu Jiao asked: "Then he attacked you?"

Tang Yueshan said bitterly: "He wanted to commit suicide. I went to grab the knife and accidentally injured myself."

As the saying goes, family scandals should not be made public. To the outside world, they are uncle and nephew, but Gu Jiao and Xiao Heng knew that he and Tang Ming were actually father and son.

 It really brings shame on me to make such a fuss.

"How are you going to deal with it?" Gu Jiao asked Tang Yueshan.

With Tang Yueshan's archery skills, he can be shot down with one arrow. The problem is that the torch in his hand will fall off after he falls. It would be terrible if it ignites the entire tea shop.

Tang Yueshan looked at Tang Ming, who was unconscious on the roof, and said with embarrassment: "I want to stabilize his mood first and lure him down. But he doesn't seem to be able to listen to me now."

Gu Jiao said: "He has just taken Wu Shi Powder and is emotionally unstable. You talk to him here and I will go up and catch him."

Tang Yueshan stopped him and said, "No! It's all covered in kerosene!"

Gu Jiao said seriously: "My mother and my brother are in the tea shop."

Tang Yueshan choked.

 After a long while, he squeezed out a few words in embarrassment: "I'm sorry..."

Gu Jiaoyun said calmly: "Don't talk about this now, just act according to the plan."

 “…Okay!” Tang Yueshan clenched his fist in response.

 “You have to be careful.” Xiao Heng warned Gu Jiao.

"I understand, you wait for me here." Gu Jiao said, turning around from the alley to the backyard of the tea shop.

The backyard was burned to a mess, the open fire was extinguished, and there were still many small flames left. The officers put out the fire while trying not to make too much noise, for fear of irritating Tang Ming on the roof.

Tang Ming's body was shaky.

 It seemed as if it would fall together with the torch in the next second.

Tang Yueshanyu said hurriedly: "Tomorrow, come down and talk to me if you have anything to say! I won't stop you from making friends! Just do whatever you want! Uncle won't stop you!"

"Uncle..." Tang Ming seemed to be stimulated by this word. He cheered up and looked sarcastically at Tang Yueshan on the long street.

Wushi Powder has a strong medicinal effect, and his vision of people is blurry at the moment, but no matter how blurry he is, he can still recognize that the other person is indeed his "good uncle".

He suddenly laughed crazily: "Uncle...Uncle...are you my uncle? Are you! Do you dare to swear to God, are you my uncle!"

The people who were watching all looked at Tang Yueshan.

What does Tang Ming mean by this?

Tang Yueshan is his biological father's younger brother, isn't he his biological uncle?

 Three words "uncle", everyone's focus is on the first word.

 Could it be said that Tang Yueshan is not the biological son of Mrs. Tang, so they are not biological uncles and nephews?

It's impossible. Tang Yueshan looks very similar to the old man. Everyone who has seen him doesn't believe that they are not biological father and son.

Tang Yueshan's cheeks were burning hot: "Tomorrow! Come down first! Let's talk about it when we get home!"

Tang Ming roared: "Who wants to go home with you! Do you dare to tell the whole world about the good deeds you have done!"

Everyone became more and more curious. From the looks of it, the Tang family had a big melon.

Xiao Heng said calmly: "Tang Ming, where do you put your mother in this situation? If you don't think about others, don't you think about your mother too?"

Once the relationship between father and son is exposed, Tang Yueshan will certainly be criticized, but Mrs. Tang cannot be immune to it.

Mrs. Tang couldn't bear the loneliness and seduced her brother-in-law. If such a reputation spread, Mrs. Tang would be drowned in the spit of the people.

I don’t know if it was Xiao Heng’s words that awakened Tang Ming’s remaining sanity, and he kept the shocking secret on his lips.

Xiao Heng said without missing a beat: "Your mother will be worried. Come down quickly."

Tang Ming sneered: "Let me come down? I'm dreaming!"

Xiao Heng asked Tang Yueshan in a low voice: "Is there anything he wants in particular?"

Tang Yueshan had an idea: "Tang Jia Gong."

Tang Ming has always wanted to get the Tang family bow and become the heir to the Tang family army.

 It's a pity that Tang Yueshan was never satisfied with him.

Just before Tang Yueshan went on the expedition, the two had a conflict over Tang Jiagong's matter. Tang Yueshan recalled that his tone at that time was a bit harsh.

 “Is it because of this that he will smoke Wushisan tomorrow?”

Tang Yueshan was very timid when it came to housework. Only then did he realize that Tang Ming had been working hard to be his heir, even though he was repaired by Gu Jiao and almost became a useless person.

 But he never gave up. He worked hard to practice martial arts and recovered his body.

 He wanted to take over Tang Jiagong with high expectations, but was severely opposed by his father.

 Said he was not worthy...

Xiao Heng said decisively: "Give him the Tang family bow."

Tang Yueshan was startled: "What?"

Xiao Heng said calmly: "Announce him as the next master of the Tang family's bow."

Tang Yueshan’s face changed drastically: “No!”

Xiao Heng said: "Which is more important, the bow or your son?"

Tang Yueshan frowned: "They are all important...but..."

"There are no buts." After Xiao Heng said this, he stopped arguing with Tang Yueshan and looked directly at the man on the roof. "Tang Ming, if you die, the Tang family's bow will forever belong to someone else."

Hearing Tang Jia Gong, Tang Ming's obsession flashed through his heart.

At this time, Gu Jiao slowly climbed up the wall. Because it was full of kerosene and very slippery, she almost fell down several times.

Xiao Heng's hands buried in his wide sleeves suddenly clenched and he said to Tang Yueshan: "If you don't get it, your son and Jiaojiao will both die!"

Tang Yueshan gritted his teeth and went to the carriage to get his Tang family bow.

Tang Ming looked at the bow greedily.

Tang Yueshan took a deep breath and said with difficulty: "Come down and I will give you the Tang family bow."

Tang Ming said coldly: "Give it to me first, and then I'll come down!"

 “Give it to him!” Xiao Heng said.

Tang Yueshan gritted his teeth and threw the long bow on the roof.

Even if Tang Ming was hit by Five Stones, he would still be alert to the movements around him. However, the moment the Tang family's bow flew toward him, he completely forgot about himself.

 The only thing left in his eyes was the Tang family bow.

 He held the torch tightly with one hand and stretched out the other eagerly.

It's now!
