Chapter 215 Nanqinghou

Chapter 215 Nanqinghou

"Why did you ask about Nanqinghou Mansion?" Tao Ying asked in surprise.

It was early in the morning. She had just finished her morning martial arts class and changed into a set of clothes. When Chu Tang came, she was having breakfast in the small courtyard.

She invited Chu Tang to sit down and have a meal together.

Chu Tang shook his head and said that he had eaten, and came up to inquire about the situation in Nanqinghou Mansion.

Tao Ying knew that Nan Qinghou and Chu Tang had no relationship for eight lifetimes, so he was naturally very curious.

Chu Tang did not hide anything, and immediately told in detail what happened last night when Zhao Ziyu came to the academy to talk to him about what happened to their troupe.

boom!

After hearing this, Tao Ying stopped eating breakfast, slapped the table hard, and said angrily, "No one takes Wutong Academy seriously now! Come whenever you want, leave whenever you want, Are you treating me as a toilet? It’s so abominable!”

Chu Tang was stunned and his waist was dodged.

At first, he thought that Tao Ying was out of righteous indignation and sympathized with the tragic experience of Zhao Ziyu and his party, and then he was disgusted and angry at Nanqinghou Crown Prince. Unexpectedly, she was angry because she felt offended.

Chu Tang was also confused and thought to himself, Dean Tao, is your focus misaligned?

It’s now time, is this what we should care about?

"Dean Tao, calm down!" Chu Tang had to excuse Zhao Ziyu, "Miss Zhao was also desperate, so she thought of asking Chu for help, but she didn't think about it that much."

Tao Ying narrowed her eyes and asked, "What does she have to do with you?"

Chu Tang shook his head and said, "It's just a chance meeting."

Tao Ying chuckled and said, "We meet by chance. A girl's family comes to you for help late at night?"

Chu Tang sighed, knowing that the other party was sure to take advantage of this, so he had to explain the process of getting acquainted with Zhao Ziyu, and also recounted the case in Shi County last year.

After hearing this, Tao Ying was even more curious: "She is a murderer and you are a policeman. How many days can we live in the same room in your house without any incident?"

Chu Tang quickly cleared it up and said: "They didn't live in the same room. They hid in a humble house. Chu lived in the Yamen. Even when they left, they didn't say a word. Chu only found out about it after the fact."

Tao Ying hummed, pondered for a while, and said: "She is a strange woman. Although she is not of high birth, she is quite righteous and has a chivalrous spirit. But she is also very big-hearted. She dares to come directly to your door to ask for help, and she is not afraid. You take her and take her to Nanqinghou Mansion."

Chu Tang smiled bitterly and said, "In the eyes of Dean Tao, who is Chu?"

Tao Ying glanced at him and said, "You know people, but not their hearts. She is not familiar with you, it's just a one-time acquaintance."

Chu Tang sighed: "If she hadn't been desperate and had no other choice, she probably wouldn't have done this."

"Then you promised her to participate?" Tao Ying thought of Chu Tang's purpose.

Chu Tang shook his head and recounted his response to Zhao Ziyu. In the end, the other party walked away in anger.

Tao Ying looked at Chu Tang and said with a smile: "That's your style, Mr. Chu. Since you have already refused, what is the purpose of asking about the details of Nanqinghou Mansion today?"

"Can't you be curious?" Chu Tang shrugged.

Tao Ying took a deep look at him and said seriously: "Chu Tang, I solemnly warn you, whether you are indignant or unhappy, it is best not to mess with Marquis Nanqing. Marquis Nanqing is not an easy person to deal with!"

Chu Tang was silent for a long time and then said: "He is the Crown Prince of Nanqinghou, not Nanqinghou."

"Is there any difference?" Tao Ying said calmly, "Since he is the prince of the Hou Mansion, he will be the future Marquis of Nanqing to inherit the title. He represents Nanqing Hou! And Nanqing Hou cherishes this prince the most and protects his shortcomings the most. !”

Chu Tang was completely silent.

Seeing Chu Tang's expression of concern, Tao Ying couldn't help but sigh: "Chu Tang, I am also very angry when this girl's master and apprentice are treated like this, but you should know that there are too many injustices in the world, which are beyond your control. And in my position, I have too many things to worry about, and it’s not easy to interfere in them, otherwise there will be endless troubles. If I don’t think about myself, I have to plan for the academy’s huge foundation.”

Chu Tang nodded to express understanding.

He himself is not the kind of person with a strong sense of justice, so he has no right to ask others to act chivalrously.

Do unto others, do not impose on others.

After thinking about it, Chu Tang sat down opposite Tao Ying and said, "From what Dean Tao said, Nan Qinghou and his son have quite a story to tell. Telling them will help me understand the situation in Qingcheng."

Tao Ying nodded and said: "You are also a member of the public family. With your current reputation and status, you will have to deal with them sooner or later. It is a good thing to understand them in advance. You can listen to me with peace of mind."

Chu Tang sat up straight and listened attentively.

Tao Ying thought for a while, then asked: "Speaking of Marquis, first you need to understand the basic situation of our Dayao title. Do you understand these?"

Chu Tang replied: "I only know that there are five titles: king, duke, marquis, uncle and son."

After all, he was not a native of Dayao, and most of the history of this world was hearsay.

After coming to Wutong Academy, I borrowed a few books to read, just to understand the general situation, but I really didn't grasp the specific details.

Tao Ying nodded and said: "The princes and uncles are indeed the title system of my Dayao. The prince is the highest, and there are two levels. The higher one is the one-character prince, and the lower one is the two-character county prince. Dayao has regulations, Non-royal children are not crowned kings, so there are not many or few royal titles.

"As for the four princes, princes and uncles, Yao also stipulated that no title can be given without military merit. Therefore, in the civil service system, it is difficult to obtain a title without military merit. There are four titles, and each level has three levels, with the first level being the highest. The second is the second class, and the third is the third. Each class has a different number of food households, and also corresponds to the corresponding grade."

Chu Tang nodded while listening, and finally asked: "What is the rank of Marquis Nanqing?"

"Third class. Princes and princes all have titles beyond the first rank. The first class marquis is equivalent to the first class official title, and the third class is equivalent to the second class official title."

Chu Tang was surprised: "Only on the same level as the Liangzhou Governor?"

"That's it?" Tao Ying smiled, "Chu Tang, are you confused? Your boss, the arrester of Guijun, only has a seventh-grade official title. Even your boss's boss, Su Hong, the prefect of Guijun, has It’s just the fourth grade! Do you know what the second grade means?”

"Um?"

"If Shen Zuo is the highest-ranking civil servant in Qingcheng, then Nan Qinghou is the highest-ranking military attache in Qingcheng!" Tao Ying paused, smiled and asked, "Under the same rank, do you think military attaches are more powerful, or Are civil servants great?"

Chu Tang smiled bitterly. He had forgotten that in Dayao's court, force was the foundation.

A marquis, even a third-class marquis, is a general who directly commands the army and has thousands of troops under his command!

Not to mention that civil servants were inferior to them, even the top masters in the world had to walk around when they saw them.

Thinking of this, Chu Tang hurriedly asked: "Nan Qinghou is stationed in Qingcheng?"

"That's not true." Tao Ying continued, "Wang Yang, the Marquis of Nanqing, works under the governor of Liangzhou and has been leading troops in Yuncheng. It's just that his fiefdom is here in Qingcheng, so the Marquis' mansion is also built in Qingcheng. . His family members, old and young, have been active in Qingcheng."

Chu Tang breathed a sigh of relief and said: "That's good, that's good."

Tao Ying glanced at him and said: "What a good thing! Wang Yang is the first generation Nanqing Hou, so you should know how powerful he is."

Chu Tang was slightly surprised: "He was awarded the title of marquis based on his military merits?"

"Ten years ago, the barbarians invaded our country, Yao, and the governor of Liangzhou was ordered to lead the army to kill the enemy. Wang Yang was just a partial general at the time, but with a gun and thousands of soldiers, he dared to attack the barbarians army, severely inflicted heavy losses on the main force of the barbarians, and then became a marquis in one battle."

"He used a gun? How much cultivation level did he have?"

Tao Ying said: "It is said that he was in the Sixth Realm ten years ago. His marksmanship has never been officially called, but some people say that it is somewhat similar to the Luoshen Spear of Luoshen Valley. I am afraid that he is also related to Luoshen Valley."

"Luoshen Valley!" Chu Tang's voice became much louder.

The ghosts of Luoshen Valley still linger!

We were talking about Nan Qinghou, and finally brought it up to Luoshen Valley. We were really enemies!

"Luoshen Spear?" Chu Tang even heard the key to it, "Is this also the secret skill of Luoshen Valley?"

Tao Ying was even more surprised than him and asked, "Don't you know the origin of Luoshen Valley?"

Chu Tang sneered: "Dean Tao should know that Chu comes from a remote small county in Gui County and doesn't have much experience."

Tao Ying smiled bitterly and said: "Everyone in the world knows about the Nine Heavens Luohe Sword. That is because of the reputation Luo Changying gained twenty years ago. However, the Luo Shen Spear is the foundation of Luo Shen Valley! This is also the Nine Realm martial arts. It is the secret skill practiced by their past Valley Masters. The first generation Valley Master reached the ninth level with the Falling God Spear, creating the great prestige of the Falling God Valley. And the name of the Falling God Valley is also derived from the Falling God Spear."

Seeing Chu Tang's surprised look, Tao Ying asked again: "Have you ever heard of the Ten Great Divine Weapons Feng Ming Gun?"

"I know this!" Chu Tang cheered up, "It is said to be the unique skill of the founding queen of Yao."

Fang Kai had previously taught him the common sense of the top ten magic weapons, focusing on the Phoenix Gun.

Tao Ying smiled and said: "Everyone says that the Feng Ming Spear has a deep connection with the Luoshen Spear, so the Luoshen Valley also has a close relationship with the royal family. I'm afraid it's not unreasonable to come up with groundless rumors."

Chu Tang’s head was so big.

Feng Ming Spear, the Royal Family... Luo Shen Spear, Luo Shen Valley... Nanqing Hou Wang Yang!

This relationship feels so messed up that I can't even figure it out.

Seeing Chu Tang's distress, Tao Ying said, "Now you know that Marquis Nanqing is not easy to mess with."

Chu Tang nodded. The relationship was complicated, and it was really a headache for one person to bring out the whole thing.

"Dean Tao, what's going on with the Crown Prince Nanqing? His behavior doesn't look like what a normal Crown Prince should do." Chu Tang said the key thing.

He had always wondered how Nanqing Hou Shizi dared to rob a woman, so he did not hesitate to embarrass a theater troupe.

It is said that many people have mixed opinions, how can he be sure that this matter will not be publicized?

"That guy is a lunatic!" Tao Ying had a look of disdain on his face, "Wang Haochen has a lustful nature and is violent. Everyone in Qingcheng knows this."

Chu Tang was greatly surprised: "A prince, the successor of the Marquis Mansion, with such a good reputation, isn't he afraid that his title will be lost?"

Tao Ying said: "He is also a smart man, from a well-known family. He doesn't dare to provoke him, so he mostly attacks people who have no backing. It's not like no one has impeached him, but they were all suppressed by Wang Yang. Wang Yang There is nothing wrong with Yang, except that he dotes on his son too much, almost without any principle."

Chu Tang said disdainfully: "Isn't this a big problem? How can the world be safe if you don't clean the whole house? You let your son commit crimes, not only do you not educate him, but you also protect him. Such a prince is nothing more than a withered bone in the grave. Sooner or later, he will be dead Their family is having a good time!”

Tao Ying sighed: "You are a sensible person, and Wang Yang is not stupid. He must understand these principles. However, when his son is involved, he will become stupid."

"This prince is special?" Chu Tang heard what Tao Ying meant.

Tao Ying looked at Chu Tang and said, "Chu Tang, you are getting smarter and smarter."

Chu Tang was speechless, speaking as if he was stupid before.

Shrugging, he motioned for Tao Ying to continue.

Tao Ying said with emotion: "It is said that when Wang Haochen was born, his mother died in childbirth. His mother, Wang Yang's first wife, was not yet a marquis at that time. It is said that the two of them had a very deep relationship. When they were living in the world, Supporting each other led to Wang Yang's blockbuster results.

"After the death of his wife, Wang Yang became an ascetic, neither remarried nor taking concubines, and devoted himself to cultivating his son. Unfortunately, God sometimes tortures people. Wang Yang's son, Wang Haochen, suffered from a serious illness when he was a child. His mind was burned out, and his left leg became disabled and he walked with a limp."

"So that's it!" Chu Tang suddenly realized, "He was born into a noble family and should have enjoyed a life of glory and wealth, but instead he became a cripple and suffered the glares or strange looks from others. Such an encounter caused Wang Haochen's character to change drastically and he became a tyrannical man. man of."

Tao Ying was silent for a long time before saying: "Although this is not the reason for his murder, it is indeed the case. Just because he is disabled, Wang Yang may feel more guilty about him, so he becomes more doting on him. A person once laughed to Wang Haochen's face. Lame man, disgrace his father. When Wang Yang found out, he led his troops to break down the door of the man's house and maimed him. And the man was not from a low background, he was a son of an official from Qingcheng!"

Chu Tang took a breath of cold air. Such a Marquis was indeed powerful, but also a little unreasonable.

"So!" Tao Ying emphasized at the end, "Chu Tang, don't bother provoking the Nanqing Hou Mansion if you have nothing to do. They are both madmen, father and son. Once they get involved, they will bite each other like mad dogs."

Chu Tang sighed, spread his hands and said, "Even if I want to provoke him, I can't do anything about it. Now I have only recovered six powers."

Tao Ying looked up at him and said, "According to your opinion, if you regain ten percent of your power, you will take care of this matter?"

Chu Tang was silent and unable to answer.

Seeing this, Tao Ying couldn't help but sigh: "That's it! Don't be impulsive. Just wait patiently. I will find someone to inquire about this troupe and see how they are doing in Nanqinghou Mansion. I will let you know when there is news. You."

Chu Tang was overjoyed, clasped his fists and said, "Dean Tao Gaoyi!"

Tao Ying glared at him: "Just don't cause me any big trouble again. I'm even afraid of you!"

Chu Tang smiled sheepishly.

Unsaid, Tao Dayuan was cold-hearted and said not to provoke the Nanqing Hou Mansion, but in the end he still couldn't help but intervene out of his own heart!

Chu Tang remembered this friendship.
