Chapter 527: Opportunity
Through the window, watching bags and bags of grain being loaded from his own store and then transported away, Tian Damao sighed lamentingly, and every time he walked the car, it was like a knife in his heart. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
These grains were all transported to Xu Jie's army in Gong County. The formation of the people's army, the Xu family has a big head, and his Tian family naturally can't run away from other expenses. The battle in Gongxian County has become a stalemate, and the daily consumption of grain and grass is uproaring, and if it continues like this for a period of time, I am afraid that my own grain depot will be emptied.
But for the sake of post-war returns, now I can only grit my teeth and hold on, the greater the investment, the more the return in the future? I still expect that when His Majesty the Emperor wins, he will be able to get back the large investment that was smashed into Changyang County!
Truckloads of grain were transported away, Tian Damao's heart was like a knife, he stood up, slammed the window shut, and simply came out of sight.
"Master, there is a person outside who claims to be your relative and wants to see you!" The servant pushed open the door and walked in softly.
"Relatives?" Tian Damao was upset in his heart, "It's the autumn wind that broke my relatives to beat me again, and I'm going to go bankrupt if I don't see Lao Tzu?" No, no, just say I'm busy, I'm about to die. ”
Knocking the table, Tian Damao roared angrily.
The servant stretched out his hand, "Sir, that relative of yours said that if you don't see him, just look at this, and if you see this, you will definitely see him." ”
Tian Damao looked at a jasper mantis held in the servant's hand, and suddenly snorted, grabbed it, turned it over, and saw a very small Tian character engraved on the belly of the jasper mantis.
His eyes straightened immediately.
"Quick, let him in." Tian Damao stuffed the jasper mantis into his arms and said.
The old man has changed so much before and after, the servant is strange, a jasper mantis, although it is extremely exquisite, but it is not a particularly precious thing. turned around and went out, and when I saw the old man's attitude, he was very polite to the guy in ordinary clothes.
Tian Zhen walked in with a relaxed step, and looked at Tian Damao with a smile, "Brother Tian, I'm really worried that you will turn me away!" ”
Tian Damao glared at him, hurried over, slammed the door shut, turned around, lowered his voice and said sharply: "Tian Zhen, you don't want to die, now you dare to run to Zhengyang County." ”
"Is Zhengyang County a Longtan Tiger's Den? I don't dare to come. Tian Zhen sat down with a smile, stretched out his hand and poured himself a cup of tea, drank it slowly, and looked at Tian Damaodao.
Tian Damao snorted and sat opposite Tian Zhen: "Tian Zhen, the current Zhengyang County, for you, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the Longtan Tiger's Den, you are the top figure on the imperial court's arrest list." ”
"The arrest list is out!" Tian Zhen burst out laughing.
Tian Damao covered Tian Zhen's mouth, "Ancestor Tian, you are quiet, you are just coming to me, I can still cover it for you, if you let others find out, you must be sent to the county government." ”
"Brother Tian is righteous enough, I didn't look at the wrong person." Tian Zhen gave him a thumbs up.
"It's not righteous enough, it's just that I think that Brother Tian once took out real money to help someone in my Tian get through the difficulties." Tian Damao snorted. "Although the interest rate is a little higher, but in that situation at that time, you were still willing to pay for it, Tian was very grateful."
Tian Zhen smiled: "When I do business, I have always dared to take risks, with high risks and high returns." The interest I earned from you that time was enough for my family to work for half a year, and I was very satisfied. ”
Tian Damao also laughed, "But it's okay to come, Tian Zhen, it seems that you also know that the Taiping Army is unreliable, now come to me, I can still transfer it for you, it's just a little money, but you have to be prepared for a lot of blood, Xu Jie has invested blood this time, and he will definitely get it back from you." ”
Tian Zhen laughed strangely, turned the teacup in his hand, and looked at Tian Damao with interest: "Brother Tian, not only will Xu Jie not be able to get back the capital, this time he has to go bankrupt, he has to lose his wife and lose his army, and the Xu family will probably be wiped out from Zhengyang County." ”
"What do you mean?" Tian Damao looked at Tian Zhen vigilantly: "Tian Zhen, what kind of trick do you want to play?" I know what you're doing, and you want to open a gap from me, so that we can make a mess in the nest first, so that you can survive in death? Don't even think about it, you come from outside and see the grain transported from me, that cart after cart, but it's all my hard-earned money, I have to get it back. Besides, the Taiping Army is a bandit after all, how can it be reliable? ”
Tian Zhen said with a smile: "Brother Tian, I came to you this time, not to make you rebel in the nest, but to make you lose your money for the sake of your friendship with me for many years." If you really want to go on like this, not only will you not be able to get the money back, but in the future, you will definitely be a part of the Taiping Army's prison, and when the time comes, don't blame me for not reminding you, I risked my life to save you. ”
"Alarmist!" Tian Damao snorted: "This is your Tian Zhen's specialty." ”
Tian Zhen smiled: "Brother Tian, I haven't been doing well recently, why don't you let me be a guest in your mansion for a few days?" When the time comes, there will be new information, and the two of us will discuss it again, and I will do this, which is really benevolent and righteous. ”
Looking at Tian Zhen's calm and unhurried smile, Tian Damao's heart was really a little hairy.
"Okay, for the sake of my brother's previous relationship, I'll hide you for a few days." Tian Damao nodded.
"Brother Tian, give you a suggestion, let your grain truck walk slowly on the road! Don't be in such a hurry. Tian Zhen said leisurely.
Tian Damao was stunned, "What do you mean?" The military horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, and the grain period has been missed, do you want me to walk around without eating? ”
Tian Zhen spread his hands: "Brother Tian, what if things are as I said?" At that time, this truckload of food will be ironclad evidence, and at that time, it will not be a merit, but a capital enemy, so you can't wash it when you jump into Luoshui, right? ”
Tian Damao hesitated, Tian was really calm, which made him a little uncertain: "But Xu Jie is not easy to fool." ”
Tian Zhen snorted: "Go slower, it's not that you don't go, there are many reasons to go slow, the road is too bad, the weather is bad, there is a shortage of manpower, and the livestock are sick, this, you don't need me to teach you, anyway, if our Taiping army is really defeated, no matter how slow you go, you will still go to Xu Jie's army." He can't say much about you, can he? Doesn't he need your help? ”
Tian Damao realized, "You're right, that's good, you stay here for a while, and I'll go out and make arrangements." Don't wander around, let you recognize you, I'm really going to kill my relatives in righteousness. ”
"Don't worry." Tian Zhen smiled.
Tian Zhen is naturally confident, he lived in Tian Damao's mansion with peace of mind, ate and slept every day, slept and ate, and did not refuse the maids arranged by Tian Damao, but they were drunk and dreamed of death.
Tian Damao, who has been sending people to spy on Tian Zhen's every move, saw this scene, and his heart was even more furious. Tian Zhen is not a character like a street splash, he doesn't have to worry about feeding the whole family alone, he is a big family, and he has a property that can't be spent in several lifetimes, if the situation is really bad, how can he be so at ease.
Tian Zhen'an's Suo, if he thinks about it the other way, seems to imply that Tian Damao's fate is in danger.
The nervous Tian Damao sent another person to chase the convoy he sent out, making them go more slowly. Tian Zhen is also very reasonable, if the Taiping army wins, when the time comes, he will not be able to get rid of his claws.
Of course, Tian Zhen was at ease, because when he entered Zhengyang County, he already knew that the Taiping Army had reached an agreement with Li Zhi, and the so-called Tiger Battalion was completely annihilated, and the army was now marching towards Zhongping County, and what he had to wait for now was that the news of the defeat of the Yue Imperial Court reached Zhengyang County.
At that time, he, who is now unsightly in Zhengyang County, will soon become a guest of honor and the object of everyone's favor.
Eat and sleep, sleep and play, eat and drink when you are tired of playing, and then sleep again, Tian Zhen has not lived such a drunken life for several years, the Eagle's Nest is in Taiping City, as the second person in the Eagle's Nest, he naturally has to live in the base camp of the Eagle's Nest, where, all the people are like a confidential machine, every day in the midst of high-load and intense work, he just wants to be arrogant and extravagant, and he doesn't dare, you know, the inside story is what he is responsible for, but who can know, Guo Jiuling's city is as deep as the sea, Did you plant someone around him, if he took a wrong step and was caught by him, wouldn't he send himself into a deep pit?
When he arrived at Tian Damao, he finally regained the feeling of the wonderful life in the past.
However, the feeling of being in control of someone else's fate seems to be better. And this feeling, after he followed the Taiping Army, became stronger and stronger, because the Taiping Army became more and more powerful and controlled more and more territory, and they naturally followed the rising tide.
Three days later, Tian Zhen was holding the maid sent by Tian Damao and messing around in the dark, and suddenly there was a rapid knock on the door outside the door, and Tian Damao's nervous and somewhat pitched voice sounded outside the door.
"Brother Tian, Brother Tian, I'm Da Mao, haven't I slept yet?"
Hearing Tian Damao's voice, Tian Zhen laughed silently, it seemed that the news came, he slowly got up from the maid, got dressed, opened the door, and then saw Tian Damao's face was a little distorted.
"Brother Tian, there is news from Zhongping County that His Majesty the Emperor is surrounded by the Taiping Army and Luo Yishui in Nanping Mountain. Zhongping County had fallen into the hands of the Taiping army. Da Yue, Da Yue is going to end! Tian Damao said with a crying voice.
Tian Zhen laughed and patted Tian Damao's shoulder: "Da Mao, what are you nervous about, Emperor Dayue is going to be finished, and it's not that you are going to be finished, isn't this your Tian family's chance to go to the next level?" (To be continued.) )
