At the foot of Longtou Mountain outside Xiyang City, Tian Zongguang, the head of the Tian clan, led the head of the clan to stand in front of the gate and looked forward to it.

Tian family has been multiplying in Bazhou for hundreds of years, in the early years of the Eastern Jin Dynasty has settled here, from the original poor family step by step to save the family business to now this fertile land thousands of acres occupy the mountains and solid Ze family.

They are self-contained, do not pay food, do not serve labor, and have a strong dock fort, so they are not afraid of the state officials, only when Xiyang City is threatened by foreign enemies, they will think of the death of their lips and teeth, and send troops to help, the state government never sends people to the Tian clan to search for land and households, and the Tian clan people rarely make trouble in the city, the two sides live in harmony, and the well water does not interfere with the river water, but according to the current development of events, this balance seems to be in danger of being broken.

The housekeeper saw the flag waving on the watchtower of Wubao, so he approached Tian Zongguang and said, "Sect Chief, someone is here." Hearing this, everyone shook their spirits and prepared to welcome the distinguished guests, this Yuwen envoy who is coming today is not a good person, and must be dealt with carefully.

After more than a month in office, he rectified the state soldiers, investigated the accumulated malpractices, and within a few days, countless cases were adjudicated, and most of the backlog of prisoners in the state prison was cleared, of course, this has nothing to do with the Tian family, the only thing to note is that the case involving the son of the patriarch has been reopened.

As a local hero, it is said that the new official should send someone to visit the door to show his friendliness, but this Yuwen envoy was so busy at the beginning of his tenure that he had no time to receive people and things.

When the wind and dust rose, I saw more than ten horsemen galloping along the road, and seeing that the scale of visitors was much smaller than expected, the Tian family was quite surprised, and then relieved: Yesterday, when this Yuwen Wen envoy went to Bahe City by the Ba River to visit Lu Rongjia, the patriarch of the Lu family, he was only more than ten followers.

Even so, no one dared to underestimate him, because there were still 3,000 soldiers stationed outside Xiyang City, and there was the governor of Huangzhou watching from behind, so no one dared to do anything to the second son of the governor of Anzhou unless he tore his face.

It has only been two years since Yu Wenliang, the governor of Anzhou, swept the states of Jiangbei, and for the powerful people in the states, Yu Wei, the governor of Anzhou, still exists, so no matter how much he has thoughts about his second son, he has to do enough superficial work.

The visitor threw the whip and dismounted when he approached, and the first person was Bazhou Thorn Shi Yu Wenwen, and under the introduction of the state official, he bowed to Tian Zongguang, the head of the Tian clan: "This official Bazhou Thorn Shi Yu Wenwen." There is Lao Tian Zongchang personally out to greet him. ”

"Yuwen envoy Jun took office in the month Yu Tian should have come to visit, but Tian was rude." Tian Zongguang also returned the salute with a smile on his face, and the two sides introduced the people around them, and then under the personal guidance of Tian Zongguang, Yu Wenwen and his party went straight into the dock fort, and a servant stepped forward to carefully carry the gifts brought by the guests into the fort.

The banquet was set up in the hall, and the two sides sat down as the guest of honor, Tian Zongguang insisted on inviting Yuwenwen to be the main seat at first, but Yuwenwen was resolutely pushing, and under the dispute, the two of them sat down on the left and right, and the personnel on both sides also sat down on the left and right.

According to the liquor to go three rounds. Tian Zongguang first asked the governor of Anzhou, Yuwen Liang, the prince of Qiguo, if he was okay now, and he said that after Yu Wenliang led his troops to Bazhou two years ago, he and the local big families in Bazhou, as well as the former assassin Shi and other Chen officials and generals entered the camp to meet him, is still vivid.

"My father is well, and I am worried about Patriarch Laotian." Yu Wenwen said with a smile, "This official went to the post this time, and my father mentioned Sect Chief Tian and said that Sect Chief Tian knew the overall situation. ”

"The manager is falsely praised, Tian is ashamed and dare not be." After Tian Zongguang finished speaking, he arched his hand to show his guilt.

"I heard that the Tian family has been in Xiyang for more than hundreds of years, I don't know if there is such a thing?"

"The ancestors followed Emperor Wu of the Song Dynasty to make great achievements in the Central Plains, and organized the township soldiers to protect the family and defend the country.

"Emperor Wu of Song wanted to be back then. Jin Ge Iron Horse, swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger! Yuwenwen's face showed a yearning look, everyone present heard what he said, and was stunned at first, and then applauded, and the master Bo Zhengtong who was sitting on the side heard this, his eyes lit up, and then he looked at Yuwenwen, full of admiration.

A good sentence swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger, this sentence expresses Jin Ge's iron horse's ambition to swallow the world vividly!

"Yuwen makes you good and literate, Tian can't chant poetry and sing vulgar martial arts, only three glasses of wine!" After Tian Zongguang finished speaking, he immediately drank three glasses of wine in a row, and Yuwenwen also raised his glass to drink, and the atmosphere in the hall was very lively for a while.

Push the cup and stagger the cup. The two sides frequently raised their glasses and talked, seeing a sense of harmony but the little expert Yu Wenwen began to die. After taking a bite of the dish, he asked with a smile, "Sect Chief Tian, why didn't you see Ling Lang here today?" ”

Hearing this, the faces of the Tian clan present were all tense, while Tian Zongguang smiled slightly and explained: "The dog suddenly contracted a vicious illness a few days ago, and it was inconvenient to go to the banquet, so as not to pass on the distinguished guests. ”

"It's so unfortunate, this official still has some things to discuss with Ling Lang" Yuwen Wen sighed, seeing that Tian Zongguang's face was as usual, he didn't open any pot at first: "I don't know if Sect Chief Tian knows about the matter of Zhang Mansion in the city in April?" ”

"The envoy said that Tian knew that Zhang Langjun of the Zhang Mansion was killed when he went out with his wife. His widow Zhang Li sued the dog for being the mastermind behind the murder for money. Tian Zongguang said lightly, and in the eyes of others, his face was not shocked.

"The previous assassination history of this case has already been tried, and this official discovered new clues a few days ago, so the circumstances of the case have changed, and Ling Lang must be assisted." Yu Wenwen began to press, "No matter how the case is, there must be a result." There is no way to say anything about the delay for half a year, and I am afraid that it will not be good for Ling Lang's reputation. ”

"What the envoy said is very true, but the dog is sick and has difficulty moving, so he can't go to the state office to confront that Zhang Li." Tian Zongguang still has no change in color.

Yuwen Wen said with a smile when he heard this: "There is no need for Linglang to go to the state office, this official will come to visit today and ask some questions by the way, I wonder if Sect Chief Tian can make it convenient?" ”

Tian Zongguang said that his son was infected with a bad disease and was afraid of infecting Yuwen Envoy Jun in case of an accident and could not explain it to Yuwen Chief, Yuwen Wen still smiled and said that it was okay, his master Bo Zhengtong was strong and healthy, and all diseases would not invade, and he could ask questions on his behalf.

'Invincible? Tian Zongguang glanced at Zheng Tong and sneered in his heart, but his face remained as usual, he pondered for a moment and said: "That being the case, Tian does not dare to refuse, but the dog is not in good spirits, I am afraid that he will not be able to talk for a long time." ”

Zheng Tong got up and saluted and said, "Don't worry, Sect Chief Tian, there are not many problems that will not affect Ling Lang's rest." ”

Tian Zongguang beckoned to the housekeeper to come close and asked him to take Zheng Tong to his son Tian Yilong, in case there was any misunderstanding, he specially explained: "He Langjun said that this is Zheng Zhubo, who was sent by Yuwen Envoy Jun to handle the case, and he must answer all questions in order to clear his suspicion as soon as possible." ”

The housekeeper nodded and said that he was about to leave, but when he saw Tian Zongguang secretly making a gesture, he blinked and turned to the front of the labor pain, and said with a smile: "Zheng Zhubo, please here." ”

Seeing Zheng Tong and the housekeeper leaving the table, Yuwen Wen raised his glass with a smile and said to Tian Zongguang: "Tian Zongchang really understands the overall situation, and this official will do it first as a respect, and if he is not drunk today, he will not return!"
