Chapter 1329: Jump into the pit
This is like a vicious cycle.
The more Tian Mantang dared not go back, the more suspicious he was about Yizhou. So some methods targeting Tian Mantang came into being, and these methods made Tian Mantang even more afraid.
But Tian Mantang is not a small person.
He was an important official in charge of one side, with tens of thousands of troops under his command. More importantly, he was a native of Yizhou, a representative figure of the old Yizhou, and behind him was a powerful local interest group in Yizhou. Although after Zhu Youzhen entered Yizhou, the old interest group in Yizhou suffered wave after wave of blows, but the thousand-year-old trees were mixed together, how could they be swept away completely? If they really wanted to sweep away completely, Zhu Youzhen was afraid that he would become a commander who was barely.
But the light doesn’t work, it doesn’t mean the dark ones don’t work either.
In Yiling City, since the end of last year, many people with ambiguous identities have begun to appear. These people use various identities to enter Yiling City.
What are they here for? It has to arouse Tian Mantang's alertness.
Yiling City, as an important node to move westward into Yizhou, was originally a relatively prosperous city. Now, because the Yangtze River Waterway has become the only channel for goods entering and leaving Yizhou, it has become even more lively. The identity background of people coming and going is extremely complicated.
This made Tian Mantang carry a huge guard every time he traveled.
This time, the inspection of the army was also an important activity for Tian Mantang to grasp military power.
Given the aggressiveness of Yizhou, Tian Mantang felt that he needed to fight back. At least now he figured out one truth: as long as the army is in his own hands, there will be no big problem.
As time goes by, all misunderstandings will disappear and disintegrate. Over time, people's hearts will be seen, and the power will be seen from afar! What's more, in Yizhou, Sheng Zhonghuai still supports himself and believes in himself. This person has a huge influence on Zhu Youzhen, and I believe he will help him solve the problem.
Tian Mantang really felt a little exhausted.
Just as I stepped into Yiling City Pass, a person suddenly flashed out in the shadow.
"General!"
Tian Mantang was stunned and stopped his horse and looked at the other party: "Tian Yu, why are you here?"
Tian Yu is Tian Mantang's personal servant, who is specifically responsible for handling family affairs for Tian Mantang and responsible for the Tian family's wealth business. He is deeply trusted by Tian Mantang.
If nothing particularly urgent was happening, how could he stay here and wait for himself to come back?
"General!" Tian Yu swallowed, lowered his voice, and said, "Madam, the young master, and the ladies have all arrived in Yiling City."
Tian Mantang's body shook on the horse, and he seemed to be shocked by the news and fell off his horse.
His family was all in Yizhou. This was the bond between Yizhou and his way of expressing his loyalty to Yizhou. Why did they suddenly come to Yizhou City?
After being shocked, Tian Mantang was surprised again. The fact that the family members were able to come to Yiling City from Yizhou was the affirmation of his loyalty to his family. He returned them to their family to show trust. The King of Liang was indeed the talented and stubborn King of Liang. He would never fall into the other party's treacherous plan because of those stingy strategies. In this way, the smog on both Yiling and Yizhou can be said to be wiped out.
"Is it the one escorted the wife and the others in Yizhou?" Tian Mantang asked happily.
Tian Yu's eyes were filled with worries, and he didn't say anything, but he shook his head.
Tian Mantang's heart sank and immediately ran towards his own home.
Tian Mantang's wife Zhou, concubine Feng, three sons and two daughters were all sitting in the lobby. When she saw Tian Mantang strode in, she immediately stood up. The eldest son was already twenty years old, but the youngest one was only three years old. He was held hands by concubine Feng and greeted Tian Mantang together.
Tian Mantang glanced at the simple packages in the lobby, and thought that he didn't see a lot of salutes in the yard, and he was already secretly complaining.
"How did you come from?" Tian Mantang asked at his wife Zhou.
At this moment, his heart was full of confusion and confusion. He believed that in Yizhou, his house must be closely monitored. Not to mention going to Yiling, even if he wanted to leave the city and relax, he was afraid that a large number of staff from the front office of the Palace Department would follow him. Hao Ren, a dog bastard, was a good dog that bites people.
The Zhou family and the others were going to come to Yiling, and Tian Mantang believed that there was only one way, that is, Zhu Youzhen let them come. If Zhu Youzhen let them come, they would have to make great contributions to declare his trust and favor to Tian Mantang.
But no matter how he looked at it now, Zhou and his group didn't seem to be coming out openly. The group had an unconcealed look of fatigue and haggardness on their faces.
After hearing Tian Mantang's question, Zhou was a little surprised: "Didn't you sent someone back and pick us up?"
"What?" Tian Mantang couldn't believe his ears: "I sent someone?"
"Yes! There is also your handwritten letter and private seal from Dalang!" Zhou looked back at his eldest son, who immediately turned around and took out a letter from a small package and handed it to Tian Mantang. "You said in the letter that King Liang had extremely distrustful of you and might have to attack you, so in case, I will take us first to Kai Yizhou to Yiling."
Tian Mantang opened the letter and just glanced at it, and felt a splash of dizziness. His handwriting was exactly the same as his. At first glance, wasn’t it written by himself? There were very few people who knew about the private seal at the end of the letter. But now, someone was forging such a letter to deceive his family into Yiling.
"Dalang, is something wrong?" Seeing her husband's face wrong, Zhou took a step forward, supported Tian Mantang, and asked with some concern.
Tian Mantang waved his hand, walked a few steps, sat down, and said to Tian Yu who was following behind: "Go and arrange for them to stay first. I'm tired all the way, so take a break first, the eldest lady and Man'er stay."
Tian Yu left with a group of people, and only his wife Zhou and eldest son Tian Man were left in the room.
"Dalang, what happened?" Zhou asked in a low voice.
"How did you come?" At this point, Tian Mantang calmed down instead. The wood was already ready and the rice was cooked. What else could it be done? However, his heart was full of curiosity. You must know that Hao Ren was indeed a tough character. The Zhou family's wife, and the eldest son Tian Man was just a scholar. How did they escape from the heavy surveillance of the Temple Front? It was not uncommon for one or two people to escape, but the whole family fled and appeared in front of him one by one. Even for a person like Tian Mantang, it was a bit incredible.
"Everything was arranged by the people you sent by Dalang. I don't know anything. Anyway, the Lord did whatever they said. But there was no peace along the way." Zhou whispered: "I think there are some problems."
The eldest son Tianman said, "Father, when he got on the boat, there seemed to be a conflict. Then after a long time of sailing, something happened. A boat not far from us was suddenly hit by another merchant ship, and many people fell into the water. I wanted the boatman to stop the boatman to rescue him, but the owner ignored him and ignored his son. He actually ran away. Afterwards, I scolded the boatman and said that he would not save him when he was dead! Now I want to come."
Tian Mantang sighed.
Now he could imagine that this trip, which seemed to be peaceful, was probably surging and thrilling in the dark, but the person who manipulated this matter was too powerful, and all the arrangements were not leaked, so his family was sent to Yiling without any alarm.
Looking around the world, how many people can do this? How many organizations with such strength can make a fierce person like Hao Ren be counted with one hand.
"Whoever arranged for you to leave Yizhou, I want to see him!" Tian Mantang said.
Zhou said: "After sending us to Yiling and getting off the boat, that person left first."
"Didn't you leave anything?" Tian Mantang didn't believe that this person didn't even leave any fart. After doing such a big thing, he left with great success.
"Father, my son talked to him for a few words and invited him to see his father at home, but the man said, you will definitely be very busy in the next few days, so he won't disturb you. After you have handled these things, he will come to visit again!" Tian Man said.
Tian Mantang lowered his head for a while, his face was bitter, and he slowly shook his head. In the eyes of Zhou and Tian Man, he suddenly raised his head: "Yes, there are many things to deal with, and it is urgent to deal with it immediately."
After saying this, he suddenly stood up and said to Zhou: "My wife, please look at the arrangements for family matters. If you have any questions, please find Tian Yu. I will send a team of personal guards back to obey the order. Before I come back, no one will go out."
"Father, is there something big happening?" Tian Man asked cautiously.
Tian Mantang glanced at his son and said, "Yes, something big happened, it's a big deal, but you don't have to worry, a certain family will naturally handle it. Someone dug a big hole and forced me to jump in."
"Is someone trying to harm my father?" Tian Man asked in surprise.
"I'm sorry for me, it's almost the same!" Tian Mantang smiled bitterly and said, "But this man put a pair of ladders in the pit. Now I have no choice but to climb up the ladder he puts."
Tian Mantang turned around and went out, turned over his horse, and roared straight to the military camp.
That night, Yiling City was noisy and extremely lively. A large number of troops drove out of the barracks and blocked the city gates and docks, and everyone was ordered not to leave the door half a step away.
