“Fifth day of the first lunar month.”

Yu Sifan asked more than a dozen questions in one breath, and Xiao Jinyan responded seriously. Of course, the answers were all made up.

Tang Zhengfeng said again, "My family cherishes Qiu and both civil and military, knows how to be a girl, cook, take care of her husband and children, obeys the four virtues, and the one who can marry her will definitely be a happy ear."

Everyone burst into laughter.

Xiao Jinyan asked in a low voice, "What is raking ears?"

Li Qingcheng said, "A disease."

"Marrying a wife will have to be sick, and this deal is not cost-effective."

Someone shouted, "Master Tang, you praise the third lady like a flower. Today, take advantage of the night banquet to invite her out and take a look."

Tang Zhengfeng said, "This is natural." He immediately gave a few instructions to the manager. However, after a long time, the sound of silk and bamboo sounded, and after the screen, the ring of the pendant was jingling.

Tang Xiqiu walked out with the help of four maids and two old ladies. She was wearing a big red satin robe with gold thread tied around her waist, revealing her slim figure, wearing a beam crown, covering her face with golden silk hanging ears, and giving her a sense of mystery.

She came to the banquet and gave gifts to Tang Zhengfeng and the elders of the Tang family, and gave blessings to everyone.

Although everyone here couldn't see Tang Xiqiu's face, they were all fascinated by the eyes, staring at her, for fear of looking at her less than others, and they would feel at a disadvantage.

Tang Zhengfeng said, "Xiqiu, since you are here, let's have a drink for the heroes and teenagers here!"

Tang Xiqiu's voice was sweet, and his soft voice was as if he was picking up the wine glass, and he was about to cover the glass with his sleeves. He was about to drink, but suddenly his feet slipped and a glass of wine spilled on Tang Zhengfeng. His face suddenly changed and he apologized repeatedly, "Uncle, I..."

Tang Zhengfeng laughed, "It's okay, go upstairs and change your clothes." Tang Xiqiu said softly, "I'll go to serve my uncle to change his clothes."

Tang Zhengfeng nodded, "I'll lose my companion for a while, and there will be important things to announce to you later!"

After saying that, he went upstairs with Tang Xiqiu and a few maids. Before leaving the banquet hall, Tang Xiqiu looked back at Xiao Jinyan and signaled him to come over.

Xiao Jinyan felt a stern, and he knew that the glass of wine that Tang Xiqiu put on was deliberately poured on Tang Zhengfeng. He thought for a moment and decided to follow him.

When I walked out of the banquet hall and turned over to the second floor, I heard Tang Zhengfeng and Tang Xiqiu talking in a room on the second floor.

"Xiqiu, you look more and more like your mother. Uncle really can't bear to marry you."

Tang Xiqiu said, "Uncle, my niece doesn't remember much about her mother's affairs. I wonder if I can tell you one or two?"

Tang Zhengfeng sighed, "You shouldn't know this. Speaking of which, your mother was forced to death and your father was looking for a short-lived person. I was unable to help. I have been deeply blaming myself for years. Don't blame me."

Tang Xiqiu's voice changed, "Who is forced to death by someone?"

Tang Zhengfeng stammered and refused to answer, "Don't ask, I won't say it."

Xiao Jinyan looked through the crack in the door and saw Tang Zhengfeng wearing a coat and was about to reach out to caress Tang Xiqiu's Liang Guan, but Tang Xiqiu pushed him away.

"Uncle, please respect yourself!"

Tang Zhengfeng's expression stagnated, "You look so much like your mother! Back then, the three brothers of the Tang family pursued your mother, but the third brother used despicable means to get ahead..."

Tang Xiqiu said angrily, "You are not allowed to insult my father!"

"Insult?" Tang Zhengfeng laughed, "He was originally an outstanding person of the emperor. If it weren't for your mother, my Tang Sect's heavy rain pear blossom needle had already been made. Even the head of the family would have belonged to your father, but your father was caught off his soul by your mother and sold the family secretly to outsiders. Humph!"

Not far away is a clothes hanger with Tang Zhengfeng's changed clothes hanging on it, and next to the clothes hanger is a silk package.

Rainy Pear Blossom Needle Map?

A thought flashed through Xiao Jinyan's mind.

At this time, a figure flashed by, like a ghost, wrapped the silk in his hand, and instantly came out of the Yanbin Tower.

Tang Xiqiu shouted, "There are thieves!"

Seeing this, Tang Zhengfeng looked here.

Xiao Jinyan was shocked and thought he was fooled. He quickly fled out, jumped down from the second floor with a thud, and took the opportunity to get into the crowd.

Tang Zhengfeng was not in a hurry, and slowly changed his clothes, and then chased after him. How could he find the thief after this delay?

In the banquet building.

The second manager Tang Rulong stood in the corner and arranged for the service of the servants. Suddenly, his face turned red and his breathing was rapid. He covered his chest with both hands, thumped and fell to the ground.

Crash.

The second manager brought a row of wine glasses, which attracted the attention of everyone during the meal. A servant hurriedly stepped forward to support him, "Second Manager, are you okay?"

The second manager wanted to speak, but couldn't speak.

Seeing that his symptoms today were exactly the same as Xu Jiangshan he met in Qinhantang yesterday. He thought of the big manager and looked for the big manager in the restaurant. Where could he still be there?

In a moment, the second manager Tang Rulong lay on the ground, motionless.

When Tang Zhengfeng heard the news, he rushed over. Seeing the situation in front of him, he explained a few words, and then a servant carried the second manager out. Tang Ji stepped forward and asked, "Dad, how to deal with this matter?"

Tang Zhengfeng said calmly, "It's just a servant who died, and the banquet continues."

But he was secretly shocked. Tonight's events were originally carried out according to his plan, and even theft of the map was arranged by him. This time, the old man passed the head of the family to Tang Ji, but the Pear Blossom Needle Map was to Tang Chu, which he didn't want to see, so he pretended to be careless and arranged for someone to steal the map.

However, Tang Rulong's death aroused his alertness.

Tang Rulong's death was exactly the same as Xu Jiangshan, and others didn't know it, but Tang Zhengfeng knew that Tang Rulong and Xu Jiangshan were inseparable from the death of their third brother Tang Zhengzheng.

This is definitely not a coincidence. He found a confidant and issued several orders in succession.

Tang Zhengfeng came to the lobby, and the guests were bustling with people, and some of them were already drunk.

At this time, someone said, "Hero Tang, don't you have another important thing to announce?"

Tang Zhengfeng stood in the stadium and looked at the man and said, "Yes, besides tomorrow's martial arts competition, there is one more thing today..."

As soon as these words came out, the entire lobby was quiet.

Tang Ji looked expectant because the family decided to announce tonight that he would inherit the position of the family.

Tang Chu's lips curled up, showing a smile.

Tang Ao looked panicked, as if waiting for some result.

Tang Zhengfeng saw the reactions of everyone in the family and said lightly, "That is, for tonight's dinner, add a portion of spicy fried fatty intestines at each table!"

"Ha ha!"

Everyone burst into laughter.

"Hero Tang is so humorous."

"Can you add two plates?"

Tang Ji shouted, "Dad!"

Tang Zhenghua and Tang Zhengmao were also confused and looked at Tang Zhengfeng.

Tang Zhengfeng waved his hand and signaled them not to speak randomly, saying, "Two plates are just two plates! Everyone eats and drinks well, and they will never return without getting drunk tonight!"

After the banquet, Xiao Jinyan and Li Qingcheng brought a pack of spicy fried fat intestines back to the Servant Hospital. Zhao Langjiang ate hot pot under the service of several servants.

The two drove away the servants and told Zhao Langjiang what happened in Yanbin Tower. Zhao Langjiang heard this and said, "It seems that more than one force is staring at the map of the Lihua Needle. Lao Xiao, have you seen clearly the person who steals the picture?"

Xiao Jinyan said, "The man was covered in black cloth, had extremely skilled body skills, and was very familiar with Yanbinlou. Judging from his figure, I felt like he was a big manager."

"Big Manager?"

"Do you still remember that he deserved the poison from Veterinarian Cao that day? If you guessed correctly, the second manager and Xu Jiangshan were both poisoned and died of it."

Li Qingcheng said, "Who was he instructed to steal the pear blossom needle map?"

Xiao Jinyan spread his hands, "How do I know?"

Zhao Langjiang said, "No matter how I think about it now, I feel that the great manager is not at ease even if we ask us to participate in the martial arts competition to recruit brides. Why don't we run away overnight?"

Xiao Jinyan thought for a while, "I think this matter will be revealed soon. I will leave with a lot of mystery. Can you sleep?"

"able."

"Okay, pretend I didn't say it."

...

Convention Hall.

After the banquet, all the members of the Tang family returned to the meeting hall. Old Master Tang had already known about the death of the second manager and looked solemn.

"Brother, didn't you agree to pass the position of head of the family to Tang Ji in front of the heroes of the world tonight? Why did you change your mind temporarily at the banquet?" Tang Zhenghua looked unhappy and questioned Tang Zhengfeng.

Tang Zhengfeng sneered, "Do you want to pass the Pear Blossom Needle Map to Tang Chu as soon as possible?"

"This is the old man's decision. Why, do you want to go back on your word?"

Tang Zhengfeng said, "It's not that I regret it, but something happened. The map of the rainy pear blossom needle disappeared!"

"What?"

Everyone looked shocked.

The Pear Blossom Needle Map is the highest secret of the Tang Sect. There are no more than ten people who know about this matter, including the Tang Sect’s people, and they are all core members of the Tang Sect.

Tang Zhenghua said coldly, "I'm afraid you are not willing to pass the map, so you deliberately custodian and steal it!"

"According to what you said, Xu Jiangshan and Tang Rulong's deaths were all planned by me?"
