Chapter 118: Repeating the Old Trick
After the juniors who followed Zhen Wangbei settled down, they had already recovered a little bit of their spirits. There has been no news www.biquge.info from the rest of the Zhen family in the Haiguo for a long time, and Tang Miaoyin couldn't help but start to get anxious.
As the saying goes, "Tiger poison does not eat children", and this sentence was completely reversed when it came to Tang Miaoyin. In order to take revenge on Lin Jin and Xiao Jingyu, she can put her own flesh and blood to death with her own hands, but she definitely can't bear the harm of others to her own flesh and blood. Zhen Wangnan stayed in the Zhen family, it seems that he has been more than lucky, if the children and grandchildren of the other two roads have not escaped the capture of the Haiguo Praetorian Guard, then the Zhen family will only be left with these people who are currently living in the Tang family.
There is also the Zhen family's huge family business. As early as when the secret letter was discovered, the eldest prince had frozen and sealed all the Zhen family's properties, and because the Zhen family's mansion was quickly hidden, there was only a small part of gold, silver and silver tickets left. Zhen Wangnan arranged for his brothers to flee in three ways, just in case, and also divided the remaining property into three parts and brought them out for the three people. Zhen Wangbei fled all the way to Lan Kingdom, and the money they carried, in addition to the money spent on the road, was only nearly six thousand taels left, and there were also some gold and silver jewelry carried by the ladies, if these were also taken out as an emergency, there would probably be a few thousand taels.
If the other two don't escape, that's all they have.
On this day, Tang Miaoyin asked people to find Tang Xinyin: "Big brother, I plan to go back to Haiguo." ”
"What?" Tang Xinyin was taken aback, he was also present when Zhen Wangbei reported on the situation of the Sea Kingdom during this period of time, "Didn't the Emperor of the Sea Kingdom already give the imperial order of the Zhu Clan?" It's too risky to go back now! "If it weren't for the fact that Lan Guo is now in a-for-tat confrontation with Hai Guo, he is worried that Hai Guo will ask for someone from Emperor Da Lan. Thankfully, there is no sign of this for the time being.
"But there is no news from Wangnan at all...... Tang Miaoyin's brows became folds, she has aged a lot since Zhen Wangbei arrived in the past ten days, "Wangxi and Wangzhong don't know what the situation is." The sea country may have been sealed, no one has come back from there, there is no news. ”
"It's most likely a trap." After all, Tang Xinyin was a bystander, "Haiguo deliberately didn't let the news come out, just to lead you back, little sister." If you go back to this bone joint, won't you just fall into a trap? ”
"Or else?" Tang Xinyin thought for a while, "I'll personally go to Binhai City." I have some business dealings with the Shi family over there, and I have a good relationship with one of the stewards. They go to the sea country to do business all year round, and there may be some other ways to enter and exit the sea country. Even if you can't get in and out, there should still be a channel to deliver the message. ”
The risk of returning to Haiguo must be huge, and since Tang Xinyin has other ways, she naturally no longer insists.
Tang Xinyin set off at night, and when he came back, it was already four days later.
After receiving the news of his imminent arrival, Tang Miaoyin and the others gathered in his courtyard to wait.
Originally, it didn't take so long to go back and forth from Southwest City to Binhai City, Tang Xinyin came back nearly two days late, and they didn't know what was going on, they were all anxious to know if he had heard the news.
As soon as Tang Xinyin entered the courtyard, he saw more than a dozen pairs of eyes staring at him, and he was not surprised, he sat down and took the hot towel handed over by his subordinates, wiped his face, and said straight to the point: "Little sister, don't go back to Haiguo." ”
"What do you mean?" Tang Miaoyin asked very calmly and cautiously.
Tang Xinyin wiped his face, lowered his eyes and seemed to sort out his thoughts: "When I first went to Binhai City, there was no news from the Shi family, their fleet was trapped in Haiguo, and they didn't come back as scheduled......"
But Tang Xinyin was stranded in Binhai City, and things must have taken a turn for the better, everyone didn't speak, they all looked at Tang Xinyin expectantly, waiting for his next step.
"I didn't give up, so I waited in the inn for two days." Tang Xinyin continued, "On the third day, the steward who had a good relationship with me suddenly sent someone to find me, and it turned out that the Shi family's fleet had returned!" The steward told me not to leave yet, and he would come to see me when he got the news......"
"I waited for another half a day, and the steward came-" Speaking of this, Tang Xinyin paused for a long time, "The Shi family's fleet stayed in Xibin City, and when the Zhen family's largest warehouse in the local area was seized, they were restricted from leaving for the time being...... After more than half a month of uproar, the dust finally settled...... The Zhen family was sentenced to be beheaded all over the house! Then the Zhen family fled, and then began to blockade the coast again...... The princes of the Sea Kingdom all automatically asked Ying to hunt down the fugitives, but in the end, a small number of people escaped. The eldest prince did not give up, and sent the fleet out but later returned in vain, in order to avoid a long night and many dreams, so he decided to ask and behead the Zhen family who had been arrested first......"
In fact, the meaning of Tang Xinyin's words was already very clear, but Tang Miaoyin slid on the chair and looked at him with wide eyes, his face full of disbelief. Tang Xinyin shook his head, so he had to stiffen his hair and continue: "After the Zhen family was all questioned, all the foreign teams had to be searched closely before they were released. ”
There was silence in the room, and the sound of the "clang" tea bowl falling to the ground was extremely harsh at this time, and Zhen Wangbei looked at the debris underground in a daze. A few small ones didn't have such a strong psychological endurance, as if they were reminded by this voice, and hugged and cried.
At this point, although the family wealth is scattered and the clansmen are dead, the people who have escaped are no longer in danger of life. The hope of going back was completely shattered, and for now, the only way to stay in the Tang family and wait for the opportunity to make a comeback.
Yes, a piece of loyalty in exchange for such an end, how could the Zhen family accept their fate? When they recuperate, they will take revenge!
The goals have been set, but the realities also need to be considered. Since Tang Xinyin is different and insists on letting the people of the Zhen family live in the Tang family, they must also have a relative gratitude and help Tang Xinyin more in business.
The Tang family is more or less a prestigious family in the southwest city, and when it came to Tang Xinyin's hands, it had already gone downhill, but he always believed that Tang Miaoyin could change this situation, and at this time, Zhen Wangbei and several other Zhen family sons who were already in charge of business in Haiguo came, which made him feel like a tiger with wings!
But Tang Xinyin far underestimated the impact of the mess he and the Zhen family's mother and son had some time ago. According to his thoughts, the people who provoked the trouble in Xiaojiabao before were all Jianghu people, and they had already paid the money to settle the matter, maybe it might be a little difficult to ask them to help in the future, but the matter has come to an end. And now that there are three people in the Zhen family who can do illusions, they no longer rely so much on those people. But what he never expected was that in addition to a small part of those Jianghu people who had direct contact with the Tang family before, the other majority of them were invited through other business friends. After careful investigation, it turned out to be because of the fear of offending Xiaojiabao and King Jingfu.
It's no wonder that these businesses are so resolute, they listened to Tang Xinyin's words at the beginning, thinking that Changshenghua was really something, and they thought that it was really Lin Jin and Xiao Jingyu who were at fault, so they had the courage to follow and take advantage of the chaos to get a piece of the pie. I didn't think that after making trouble for a long time, it turned out that the Tang family and the Zhen family were slandering others! Then it's the other way around. How much trouble I made at the beginning, how much I regret it now. A dignified martial arts supreme and an indisputable Xiao Jiabao suffered an unjustified disaster and his reputation was ruined for no reason...... At first, people didn't argue, they felt that the other party had nothing to defend because the facts were exposed. Now people are silent, but they can't be calm, could it be that the other party is just observing their remedial performance? They have caused such a big disaster, it will definitely not work to be a shrunken turtle without making a noise, and they must take some action, according to their thinking, they can't make the Tang family feel better at this time. After all, it was the Tang family who took them to Xiaojiabao at that time, and it was the Tang family who had grievances with them, so this account should be counted to the Tang family first. In order to satisfy Lin Jin, Xiao Jiabao and King Jing's Mansion, the best thing is to interrupt the business with the Tang family and let him suffer losses, the greater the impact on the Tang family, the happier it is estimated that there will be.
The Tang family's business began to struggle, and after this happen, after the other rooms of the Tang family except Tang Xinyin heard about it, they had ideas in their hearts. On the surface, they are good to Tang Miaoyin, after all, she has accumulated prestige for a long time, and she has a lot of credit for the easy days they have come over over the years, but they are not so polite to the other Zhen families. Tang Miaoyin naturally saw these changes, and while telling the people in the family to be more cautious in their daily lives, they were thinking of a way.
After Tang Miaoyin took Zhen Lihua to the mansion banquets held by the wives of the southwest city twice through the introduction of her old friend, an idea ran into her heart - marriage.
Zhen Lihua has been by Tang Miaoyin's side since she was a child, and she was cultivated by the latter as an imperial concubine. Tang Miaoyin was already planning to marry Zhen Lihua to a prince at that time. In this way, with Zhen Lihua in the middle, with her ability, she will definitely be able to ease the relationship between their Zhen family and the royal family. There will not be that kind of situation where the eldest prince is extremely hostile to the Zhen family. It's a pity that before this calculation can start, their Zhen family's foundation of more than 100 years will be destroyed......
When she arrived in Languo, after Tang Miaoyin went to a few big families, she saw the satisfaction and liking of those wives and ladies for Zhen Lihua. Anyway, if Zhen Lihua continues to stay in the Tang family, she will also be ridiculed by some people, in this case, it is better to marry in style. Although with the current situation, the family with the highest status may not be able to accept Zhen Lihua, Tang Miaoyin does not want to choose such a family for her. What she likes is a medium-sized rich family, the kind where Zhen Lihua has the opportunity to be the housewife. With Zhen Lihua's methods that she has trained since childhood, coupled with the help of illusion, it should not be difficult to get on the throne, and when Zhen Lihua really grasps the power, she will naturally be able to help her mother's family.
Tang Miaoyin's abacus crackled, she felt that she had exhausted her last resort, but unfortunately, she still missed the same - Zhen Lihua has a sweetheart! Although this is not the first time she has a sweetheart, when she was in Haiguo, Zhen Lihua once had a secret communication with a guard of Zhen's mansion, and after being separated from life, she never forgot it for a long time, and became one of her demons. The last time she planned to cast charms and illusions, Su Miao seized the opportunity to use this demon.
And now, Zhen Lihua has another sweetheart......
Well, it's Zhenyun. Zhen Lihua forgot when she first saw Zhenyun, it should have been on the street, she came with the maid's money, and he left in a hurry without squinting. Zhen Lihua's eyes were immediately attracted by this cold young man. Later, I secretly investigated his identity and found that he was a master from the Eagle Country, and he had been secretly admiring him.
Zhen Lihua had already realized that her marriage could not be decided by herself, so her love for Zhenyun has always been buried in her heart. Now that Tang Miaoyin began to look for someone for her, she began to have other ideas. Anyway, it is impossible to marry the prince of the Sea Kingdom, so why can't she marry the merchant family of the Lan Kingdom, who has never even met her? With the current situation of the Zhen family, if Zhen Yun comes to ask for someone, the old lady will not be able to object, right?
However, she has also heard of the incident that Zhen Yun just made a fuss in the Tang family, which directly led to the bankruptcy of the old lady's revenge plan, and she must have a lot of hatred for Zhen Yun. But on the other hand, there is also awe!
As long as you can let Zhenyun ask for someone, the Zhen family now has no strength to refuse. Therefore, the top priority is to take down Zhenyun.
To win a Yunyun, Zhen Lihua is still confident.
On this day, she found an opportunity for Tang Miaoyin to go out, and asked the maid to go to the inn where Yuyun and them stayed to spread the word, and asked him to go back to Xianglou for dinner, and discuss an important matter by the way. Originally, I tried with the mentality of trying my best not to leave regrets, but I didn't expect Zhenyun to really agree to go out. This made Zhen Lihua overjoyed, and she also made very adequate preparations.
On that day, after seeing the well-dressed Zhen Lihua, Zhenyun's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly. He thought that Zhen Lihua had something to say about him, who knew that she was just trying to persuade wine and food, and Yu Yun put down his chopsticks: "What is the important thing that you are looking for me today?" ”
Zhen Lihua giggled, her eyes squinted at him, and her coquettishness came out: "Isn't it an important thing to eat with Gongzi Zhen?" ”
Yu Yun's face changed, and he stood up: "Since there is nothing important, I will leave first." ”
Zhen Lihua hurriedly stood up to stop her, and she stumbled and fell straight to Zhu Yun, and she leaned on his arm: "Young Master Zhen...... The little woman has admired her son for a long time, and this time she asked her son to come out, just to show her heart......"
Zhen Lihua got up slightly and handed him the wine poured for Yu Yun on the table again: "The little girl also knows the truth that cannot be forced, I just hope that the young man can drink this cup to the fullest, and it will not be in vain for me to love the young man." ”
"Oh?" Zhen Yun suddenly looked seriously at Zhen Lihua who was leaning on him, which made her look tense. (To be continued.) )
