Chapter 23: The Secret of Betrayal

(First of all, apologize, General Yokoba is called Tian Wu, not Tian Heng, my clerical error)

Of course, there is also an explanation that Tian Wu's ancestor or himself had a deep hatred with the Northern Qi Dynasty, for example, the beloved was killed by the Northern Qi army, so he hated the country and vowed to destroy it in his heart, which seems to be reasonable.

However, the only thing that doesn't make sense is that Tian Wu has been a general in Northern Qi for twenty-six years, and in these twenty-six years, he can be said to have a lot of chances to rebel, and it can be said that at least three chances are much better than this one, and even once he just needs to do nothing at all and stay in his own station, then the monarch will inevitably die there. If you want to be opposed, why don't you rebel a few times ago, and keep it until now?

After Lin Feng thought about it deeply, he was very sad to find that he really couldn't guess the reason, and Tian Wu had already died under Zuoliu City, it was impossible to expect him to say this mystery in person, could it be that the root of solving this mystery was on this Tian Fang in front of him?

Therefore, Lin Fengjin immediately said very simply:

"Well, since you say so, I really can't guess why Tian Wu wants to rebel? This is betting hundreds of lives of your clan!"

Tian Fang sighed:

"There must be a big secret hidden behind this, and I think that this information I know should be the key to unlock this secret, but I don't know where it is locked. ”

Lin Fengjin said very seriously:

"You can tell me everything you know, it's very important for me to protect your family in the future, I must at least know what kind of enemy I am going to face, right?"

Tian Fang nodded, and he was immersed in the memories.

On that day, the second day of the second month,

That's right, it's known as the day when the dragon raises its head.

Tian Fang, as Tian Wu's henchman who manages his money bag, naturally has a lot of privileges. At the same time, Tian Wu's loyalty to him should be almost trustworthy, and many things are not hidden from him.

At that time, Tian Fang had already received Tian Wu's intention to realize all the family property as much as possible, and at the same time, he had to be very careful not to let people notice.

In this environment at that time, officials would even make it clear that relatives concealed each other's relatives (fathers and sons, relatives can be acquitted if they conceal the facts of their relatives' crimes), and Tian Fang had no choice at all. Because even if he goes to the head with his identity, he will first be despised by the officials, and then others may not be accepted, and then he will be hacked to death with a knife just after leaving the yamen, so Tian Fang is very depressed. Tian Wu also saw this, so he was very relieved of Tian Fang.

When we met on the second day of February, it was originally Tian Fang who had already turned these things into a rattan box of precious treasures, and this thing was hot in his hand, so it was naturally going to be handed over to Tian Wu. Of course, this kind of thing has to be kept secret, so the two sides met in a secret village of the Tian family.

Because after the two sides met, it was too late to hand over various things, and there was no way to enter the city again. Tian Fang wanted to hide his identity as much as possible, so he simply stayed here, and when Tian Fang had eaten dinner, he suddenly thought of something missing. It is a Zhuangzi in the west where the highest price of cash is only 80,000 taels, but the Zhuangzi is worth at least 120,000 taels, and the loss of capital in the middle is inevitably a little too much. Tian Fang was also very embarrassed in this position, lest he be said to be profitable, so he had to nod his head.

So Tian Fang returned to the guest hall in front of him to find Tian Wu, but he felt very surprised this time, when he passed all the way, he was originally heavily guarded, but it was empty, at this time Tian Fang didn't think much about it, and continued to walk inside.

Lin Fengjin heard this, but he immediately understood, this is Tian Wu must be doing something that cannot be seen by outsiders, and the taboo of this matter is very big, and it cannot be seen by others except himself at all, so even the dead soldiers and guards around him have been removed.

Because Lin Fengjin had done the same thing when he contacted the Wa Snake God, he was quite sensitive at this point. If he was allowed to change places with Tian Fang at that time, he would have turned around and left immediately, so in this case, it would be very easy to be killed.

However, Tian Fang was not Lin Fengjin, so he thought something was wrong, so he continued to walk forward, and when he went to the study where Tian Wu stayed, he found that there was no one there, and there were two cups of tea on the coffee table, it seemed that Tian Wu had just received guests here, and there seemed to be some water traces on the coffee table, Tian Fang took a closer look and found that it was written "Yin Jian Yin", "Confidant is in great trouble", go is the best policy", these words, look at the handwriting should be Tian Wu wrote it casually.

Tian Fang didn't understand the meaning of this, but he smelled a faint smell in the study, it seemed to be hookah, and some like incense, he still didn't realize that he was in great danger at this time, but he was treating this problem with his usual mentality, at this time he came to find Tian Wu, and when he saw that the main owner was not there, then of course he had to turn around and leave.

After Tian Fang walked out of the door, he returned to his accommodation without any danger, and after a while, he was waiting for the maid to wash, but he heard several people shouting not far away, so he rushed over to see, and then he realized that Tian Wu didn't know when he had come back, but he looked like he had some blood stains and scars on his body, he should have fought with people, and there should be no big problem, but looking at Tian Wu's expression, it was quite thoughtful.

This matter came to an end, and three days later, when Tian Fang went out of the city because of business talks, missed the lodging and went to stay in the Zhuangzi, he naturally heard that someone came to curry favor with him, and secretly told him that someone had slandered him in front of the master, saying that he had slandered him three days ago and was running around, so they all secretly investigated him.

Tian Fang still didn't take it seriously, but when the maid Liu Zhi who was serving him that day proudly came to ask for credit, Tian Fang felt that something was not quite right, because it was Tian Wu's cronies Lao Hei who came to investigate him, and everyone else called him Hei Ye. This person belongs to the kind of murderous and vicious who kills people without blinking, and he has won Tian Wu's trust.

Liu Zhi was called by Lao Hei and asked her if Tian Fang had been in the room all the time three days ago, and Liu Zhi covered Tian Fang. It is said that Tian Fang has been in the room all the time. Why did Liu Zhi take the risk of helping Tian Fang with this? It was because Tian Fang had already helped her in one thing, and when they stayed overnight these few times, the two of them also did the dew husband and wife, and Tian Fang also felt that Liu Zhi was quite considerate, and promised that if she was pregnant with her own seed, she would be included in the door as a concubine.

Once a woman is emotional, it is unreasonable, not to mention that at this time, Liu Zhi has long regarded Tian Fang as his own man, so he will definitely not be exposed. How did Lao Hei know the disadvantages behind this? So it was natural that he was deceived.

After eating, Tian Fang, the God of Wealth, had a guest to worship, not someone else. It is the steward in this grange, Tian Fang is the God of Wealth who manages the accounts, others have something to do with him, of course, it is for the problem of money, this steward told Tian Fang with a bitter face that he has a deficit of eight or nine hundred silver, and he wants Tian Caishen to help make up for it.

Although Tian Fang has a huge amount of money, he knows very well in his heart that the annual output of this grange is more than 1,000 taels of silver. This steward has a deficit of more than eight or nine hundred taels, which is really a bit amazing, and if Tian Fang wants to find a way to help him, it is not casual to pay this money.

So Tian Fang chased and asked. This must be explained by the steward, otherwise this matter is really not easy to handle. The steward hesitated again and again, but he still felt that he had something to ask for, so he could only shake his head and sigh. Speaking of his helplessness, it turns out that this Zhuangzi is actually a very important stronghold of the Tian family, you can see that Tian Fang and Tian Wu handed over a rattan box of millions of taels of silver here. All kinds of protective measures must be in place here.

And Tian Wu conquered the world, but he learned a trick from Xirong, that is, when keeping vigil at night, it is really not as good as using special mastiffs to patrol.

At night, this special mastiff's sense of smell, hearing, and vision are dozens of times that of people, and they are dexterous and vicious like tigers and leopards.

Therefore, the Tian family attaches great importance to this Zhuangzi, that is, they have raised more than ten of these special mastiffs in the inner courtyard, and every day they are used to feed them meat and water, which is a lot of money, and they have to eat dozens of catties of meat!

For this big steward, these mastiffs died of illness one or two heads, then they can still explain the past, and they died eight in one breath, once they are truthfully reported, no matter how tolerant the master is, a careless hat will never be able to run away. And now everyone knows that the general has been very popular recently, so it's best not to mess with him if you don't mess with the old man.

The chief steward estimated that once this matter was exposed, then he would have to shed his skin if he didn't die, so he could only want to solve it privately, that is, to buy such mastiffs from outside to replenish the number, but this kind of mastiff was already scarce, and the other party caught the mentality of the chief steward who was eager to ask for goods, and the eight mastiffs called out at a sky-high price! The chief steward tried everything he could, and there was still a deficit of eight or nine hundred silver, so he could only come to Tian Fang, the God of Wealth, for help.

Tian Fang's character was originally a little open-minded, and when he heard the chief steward say this, he knew that it was a natural disaster and couldn't blame him, and he had already made up his mind to help, but he was also careful in doing things, and he proposed to go to the kennel to see for himself.

This kennel was changed from the previous stable, and these mastiffs are quite fat, almost like calves, so in order to serve this group of masters, Zhuangzi specially allocated two people to take care of them, one is called Fu Monkey is responsible for cleaning, and one is called Liu Niu'er, who is responsible for the meat of these mastiffs.

Tian Fang went over there to take a look, and found that there was indeed such a thing, so he nodded and promised to help the chief steward and let him get through the difficulties in front of him. And the two people who are specifically responsible for taking care of the mastiff are also very grateful, and they also know that once this incident happens, the chief steward will not be able to get out of it, and these two people are directly responsible, and they will be tied up and whipped to death with a whip!

It stands to reason that this matter was settled, but just as he was about to leave, Tian Fang's nose suddenly smelled a familiar and special smell, he thought about it a little and suddenly came back to his senses, this smell was very special, it seemed to be hookah, and it was a little like incense, which was the breath he smelled in the empty Tian Wu's study the night before.

Tian Fang was originally a fine person, and it was impossible for a big person to spread the stall so big, carefully distinguished, and immediately found that the smell came from Liu Niu'er, who was in charge of dog feed, and was silent at the moment, and left with the chief steward, after the chief steward got Tian Fang's sign, he was naturally busy buying mastiffs to fill the shortfall, Tian Fang groaned for a long time, and asked people to call Liu Niu'er.

This Liu Niu'er is a man recruited from the tenants next to him, very stupid, likes to drink and play money, even his father and mother are miserable by him, but his sister married the steward of the inner courtyard, so he got this errand, but although Liu Niuer has all kinds of vices, he is tossed enough by the work in the field, and he has also played dogs and chickens when he was hanging outside before, so he is still quite attentive to this job, and he is doing a very good job, even if others have any gossip, it is not easy to say.

Tian Fang is in Liu Niuer's heart, of course, he is a high-ranking existence, not to mention that if you talk about mental scheming experience, the two are not at the same level, so Tian Fang didn't even use coaxing and deception, and even connected threats and temptations, this Liu Niuer just poured beans into a bamboo tube of 1510, and told everything he knew.

It turned out that just three days ago, that is, the night when Tian Fang and Tian Wu met secretly, it was already late at night, and someone knocked on the door outside, and it was none other than Tian Wu's henchman Heiye, who actually carried a burlap bag directly and poured out a dead man from it!

This is the best way to destroy the corpse, who would know that a big living person has been broken into the dog's belly? can look for problems in the shit? (To be continued......)
