Dian Jitong gladly accepted this task, quit the mansion and went straight to the Zeng mansion.

Since Yong'an changed hands, the Zeng clan has been reduced to captives, and has been under house arrest in a temporarily arranged mansion, with special personnel responsible for food and accommodation, and the conditions must not be comparable to when they lived in the manor before, but at least they saved their lives.

When Dian Jitong came to the Zeng Mansion, the Zeng clan members had obviously fallen asleep, and the mansion was dark.

Tonight was full of dark clouds, there were no stars and no moon, Dian Ji ordered the guards to open the gate, and as soon as he entered the mansion, there was an exclamation of 'oops' from his feet, and he accidentally stepped on someone.

And with this exclamation, several figures stood up in the aisle, all of them in rags and unkempt, and those who didn't know thought they had come to the refugee camp.

Dian Jitong was also a little confused, these people were all members of the Zeng clan who used to be infinitely beautiful, after becoming captives, what did they go through, and they lived so bleakly?

More than 300 people live in a three-way courtyard, how can this be lived, all lying flat and the whole courtyard may not be able to find a place to stay.

This is just autumn, and when it comes to winter, there is still a lot of uncertainty about how many people will freeze to death in the Zeng family.

"Palm Lamp!" Dian Jitong gave an order, and the guards immediately complied, and it didn't take long for all the Zeng clansmen in the mansion to be alarmed.

One by one, they were huddled together in a panic, they were worried about this time, and they didn't know when they would be pulled out and beheaded, and under this high pressure, no matter how much arrogance they had, they were smoothed out.

Dian Jitong glanced around the crowd, and finally confirmed through the guards that from the Zeng clan, a concubine of Zeng Yuanqi and an elder of Zeng Yuanqi were selected.

This trip is to negotiate, not to exchange hostages, so in terms of candidates, Dian Jitong is also well thought out.

Choose an elder who can represent the entire Zeng family, so as to put pressure on Zeng Yuanqi, and Zeng Yuanqi's concubine is responsible for blowing the wind on the pillow and taking the warm route.

In this way, it should be almost the same to take down Zeng Yuanqi.

This trip is an opportunity to change the fate of the entire Zeng clan, and when they learned that these two representatives were going to Pingyong to find Zeng Yuanqi, all the Zeng clan people were boiling, and they pulled the two representatives one by one to give them some instructions, and finally they were reluctant to see Dian Ji take people away.

After choosing a good candidate, Dian Jitong was also resolute, ordered someone to help them pick up, and drove the carriage on the road overnight.

……

Two days later, Dian Jitong drove the carriage to Pingyong City smoothly, and reported to the city gate guards that he had come to Italy before driving into the city.

After this period of repair, Pingyong City has recovered a lot, and you can see a lot of merchants selling goods on the streets, and the shops are also open for business.

You must know that when Chen Ziqian left Pingyong, he looted all the gold and silver treasures, and Zeng Yuanqi was able to restore the internal affairs to this level in such a short period of time, which is indeed a bit capable.

Dian Jitong looked around in the city, and while sighing that Pingyong's internal affairs were outstanding, he was also a little more in awe of Zeng Yuanqi.

He had also heard of Zeng Yuanqi's name as a butcher, which was why he panicked when he first heard that he was going to negotiate with Zeng Yuanqi.

And through the public sentiment of Pingyong, some judgments can also be drawn: Zeng Yuanqi has been busy sorting out internal affairs recently, and has achieved remarkable results, and doing a good job in internal affairs has naturally accumulated strength for the military and government.

It can be seen from this that Zeng Yuanqi has stabilized the people's hearts, and nine times out of ten he already has the ability to raise troops, which is very unfavorable to this negotiation, and he must be prepared in advance.

Dian Jitong marched all the way, and it didn't take long for him to come to the outside of Pingyong Mansion with apprehension, waiting for Zeng Yuanqi to receive him.

It seems that when he learned that someone from the Zeng clan was coming, Zeng Yuanqi immediately left the staff of the government and ran out to meet him in person.

"Second uncle, Lu Ji, it's really you!" Zeng Yuanqi ran out without any image, but there were tears rushing out, and Zeng Yuanguang, who was following closely behind, was also emotional.

The two 'captives' also burst into tears when they saw Zeng Yuanqi and Zeng Yuanguang, thinking of the suffering they had suffered in the recent period, as well as the more than 300 clansmen waiting for them to rescue, their emotions suddenly lost control, and they began to cry in public.

Especially Zeng Yuanqi's second uncle, he knelt down for Zeng Yuanqi while crying: "Yuanqi, what kind of sin has our Zeng family created......

The relatives were in tears when they saw each other, and seeing them talking to each other about the situation, Dian Ji looked quite embarrassed to stand on the side.

After a while, Zeng Yuanqi confirmed the specific situation of the clansmen before he relieved himself, and ordered someone to take the two relatives down to settle down immediately, and then wiped away his tears and looked at Dian Jitong with murderous faces.

Zeng Yuanguang, who was already full of anger behind him, rushed up directly, grabbed Dian Jitong's shirt and said: "Chen Ziqian has more than 300 mouths up and down my Zeng family, and now I still have the courage to send people over, do you really think that my Zeng family is easy to bully?" ”

Zeng Yuanqi also had an unconcealable murderous intention in his heart: "Tell me about your intentions this time, if you just give orders to provoke and show off, I will kill you to commemorate the victims of my Zeng clan." ”

When Dian Jitong heard this, he suddenly felt a chill in his vest, and took a deep breath before he stabilized his emotions and said: "Zeng Fujun doesn't need to be angry, a few days ago, there was turmoil in Yong'an, presumably Zeng Fujun has also heard about it, and my lord is also for the safety of the Zeng clan, and he is worried that Jing Ce will be mad and attack the people of the Fujun clan, so he has to take care of the Fujun for a few more days, and now since my lord is sent over, he naturally intends to return the Fujun clansmen." ”

"Hmph, Chen Ziqian is a villain who has no faith in his word, would he have such a good heart?" Zeng Yuanguang was cheated by Chen Ziqian once at the beginning, and this time he didn't buy Dian Jitong's words at all.

Dian Jitong was mentally prepared, and said calmly: "Of course, this time I should have escorted all the people of the Fujun clan over, but my lord heard that the assassin sent an envoy to join forces with Zeng Fujun to deal with my lord, out of the consideration of the peaceful coexistence of the two counties, my lord had to temporarily detain the Zeng Fujun clan, and sent me here to confirm, whether Zeng Fujun really wants to join forces with the assassin Shi?" ”

"Assassin Shi is in charge of Tongzhou, and if there is an order, as a subordinate, he should serve his life." Zeng Yuanqi casually probed.

When Dian Jitong heard this, his brows immediately frowned slightly: "If Zeng Fujun really wants to use troops to Yong'an, isn't he afraid of the war together, and more than 300 people will be tragically affected?" It's not a secret, my lord sent me down, and I also have the intention to join forces with Zeng Fujun to form an alliance, if we can work together, you and I can both benefit, I don't know what Zeng Fujun wants? ”

"Sure enough, I knew that he Chen Ziqian didn't have any good intentions, and he wanted to blackmail my Zeng clansmen!" Zeng Yuanguang said with a murderous face: "Chen Ziqian is not enough to believe it, please give my brother an order, I will cut this bullshit messenger with my own hands!" ”

"It's easy to kill him, but since the person is here, it doesn't hurt to hear what tricks Chen Ziqian wants to play."

Zeng Yuanqi was obviously calmer and more ruthless than before, and looked at the Dian Ji channel with a contemptuous face as he spoke: "It just so happens that the envoy sent by the Tongzhou Assassin Shi is also in the hall, one of you wants me to send troops, and the other wants to form an alliance with me, but now I don't know who to listen to." ”

"Zeng Fujun, my lord said that Pingyong and Yongan have common enemies, and cooperation will benefit both ......"

Without waiting for Dian Jitong to speak at length, Zeng Yuanqi waved his hand impatiently and interrupted: "Don't worry, you can say so, why don't you go to the hall and talk to the messenger sent by Tongzhou Thorn History, let's just do this, let's play some more exciting, the two of you are responsible for saying, whoever can convince me will live, and the one who loses...... What do you think of the oil pan? ”

Dian Jitong gasped, and said in his heart that the name of this butcher is indeed well deserved!

Zeng Yuanqi laughed, and without waiting for Dian Ji to reply, he shook his hand and ordered someone to prepare the oil pot: "Please?" ”
