259. the 259th chapter unbelievable mystery
Sister Meng Di seemed very excited and interrupted, "Guess what we saw?"
Su Qin shook his head, spread his hands again, indicating that he had no idea.
Meng Di said mysteriously: "We found that on the south bank of Tian Mansion, we were transporting weapons, knives, swords, spears, halberds and bundles of feathered arrows to the outside. Tian Tong's children were all there to help transport them out, and later they stopped for some reason, and then moved back."
When Su Qin heard this, he was very surprised. He immediately widened his eyes and said, "There is such a thing? Are there really so many weapons hidden in the Tian Mansion?"
"Why aren't there so many? We even counted and estimated that it was enough for more than 2,000 soldiers to use. We were also surprised that as a civil servant, Tian Tong did what he did at home with so many weapons?"
Su Qin pondered for a while, and according to the statements of the Meng sisters, the children of Tian Tong had brought out weapons and must have declared war on Tian Cheng with obvious swords and guns.
As for why he moved back later, he got the letter sent back from the previous one. He learned that the King of Qi had personally intervened in the matter and there was no need to use a knife or a gun anymore.
When Su Qin thought of this, he probably restored the truth of the matter, but he still couldn't believe his judgment, so he nodded and shook his head again, which made the Meng sisters confused.
Su Qin whispered to the Meng sisters: "This is indeed strange, and I really can't understand it for a while. However, don't tell others, we have to pretend that we are not aware of it at all, so that the people in the Tian Mansion can not find out that we understand the inside story."
The Meng sisters nodded in agreement, but the doubts in their hearts were still unresolved, and they went to the east room to rest with their doubts.
After the Meng sisters left, Su Qin did not go to bed immediately. He sat in the room and pondered the reason. Su Qin could not understand the purpose of these weapons in a short time, and he guessed and reasoned in his heart:
In theory, even military generals in the court are never allowed to privately hide more than a hundred weapons at home, otherwise they will be punished for treason. Now, there are weapons used by more than a thousand soldiers in Tian Tong's family, which is obviously contrary to the laws.
If what the Meng sisters said is true, then what is the purpose of Tian Tong's privately hiding so many weapons? Is it for self-defense? This possibility is not great, because unless the King of Qi punishes him, who will attack Tian's mansion with thousands of troops?
Apart from self-defense, is Tian Tong going to sell weapons, or is it purely a personal hobby? This obviously doesn't make sense. Tian Tong doesn't have to make such a very risky fortune if he wants money.
If it is a personal hobby, it is enough to have only a few dozen weapons, and it is even more impossible to hide them in batches.
No wonder Tian Cheng had to break into Tian Mansion to search. If the King of Qi did not intervene in time and let Tian Cheng attack Tian Mansion, he would really be able to detect the hidden weapons. At that time, Tian Tong would not be able to get rid of the relationship, and he would not be able to explain it even if he had a thousand mouths.
Su Qin thought about it for a long time but didn't think it thoroughly. At this time, the sky was in the second update, so he lay down with his clothes and forced himself to rest in bed.
Since he came to Qi State, he has been pretending to be strange and has been pretending to be insomnia in his heart. Does this have anything to do with his living in Tiantong Mansion?
Tian Ming started to receive himself from the border of Qi State, and then chose Tian Mansion as the place to stay under the arrangement of their son and father. Then, Tian Tong recommended him to meet the King of Qi Tian Pijiang.
Is all this just like this by chance? Su Qin's mood was ups and downs, he was alert and confused, and felt that there was an invisible pair of big hands arranged everything. Where was the final point of this hand?
The next day, it was dark and before Su Qin got up, butler Sun from Tian Mansion was appointed by Tian Tong to greet him. Butler Sun was worried and tired all day long, but he was meticulous and always dressed neatly, as if his body was never tired.
Seeing that Su Qin had not yet got up, Butler Sun waited humbly outside the door until Su Qin put on his clothes, and he reported to the back to the house.
He briefly explained to Su Qin what happened last night, omitting the process of Tian Mansion's servants and his disciples participating in the battle, saying that Tian Cheng led his troops to siege, and later calmed down by the King of Qi, the palace guards.
Su Qin pretended to know nothing about what happened last night, stared in surprise, looking like he couldn't believe it. Seeing Su Qin's surprised expression, Butler Sun was slightly surprised and said, "Since Prime Minister Su is safe and sound, I will rush back to report the letter to the master."
After saying that, Butler Sun turned around and said goodbye. His back was thin and slightly hunched. When he turned around, Su Qin suddenly remembered the Butler Sun when he met Master Guigu in Sun Bin's mansion more than three years ago. With the same surname and similar figure, could it be that they had some connection?
However, Su Qin and Butler Sun in Sun Bin's mansion were only met and did not deal with each other. In addition, many years have passed, how can I remember it? He immediately felt that he was just an unintentional association.
There are too many associations, which is not exactly the side of his personality. Su Qin smiled self-deprecatingly.
Su Qin had made up his mind to break away from the arrangements of the Tian family and son last night and try to take the initiative. Although the Tian family and son were attentive, they all looked like good people no matter how they looked, and the Tian family was very comfortable, if they wanted to get rid of the control of invisible hands, they had to step out of the Tian family first.
Because they planned to move out of Tian Mansion, Su Qin took the Meng sisters to the streets that morning and took a long walk around Linzi City. They purposefully looked for a suitable house or inn and temporarily settled the Zhao State delegation.
Three people found a large inn called "Hongxi" in the east gate area of Linzi City. It has an independent courtyard with an elegant and comfortable environment. Su Qin fell in love with it at a glance, and prefers the relatively closed inn, which is just suitable for the entire Zhao State mission to move in.
Su Qin negotiated with the inn owner and soon started a business. He bid for the hardware price and booked the inn for half a month. When the store heard that Su Qin's bid was 10% higher than that of ordinary people, he quickly agreed happily.
After finding the place, Su Qin and the Meng sisters had lunch outside and then turned back to Tian Mansion. As soon as they walked to a corner of the street where Tian Mansion was, a person suddenly ran over from the opposite side and grabbed Su Qin.
Su Qin looked back in surprise and suddenly found that the person coming was his junior brother Zhang Yi. He also grabbed Zhang Yi's hand tightly and said, "Junior Brother Zhang, why are you here? This is so surprising. Long time no see, I miss you very much."
"I miss Senior Brother Su very much, too." Zhang Yi said. He looked up at the Meng sisters, and Su Qin quickly introduced him. Her sister Meng Ting had met Zhang Yi in the Wei Mansion of Qin, but she had no contact. She nodded at Zhang Yi.
My sister Meng Di has never seen Zhang Yi before, but she heard from her sister that there was such a person. When she saw Zhang Yi herself today, she looked at her carefully and found that Zhang Yi was wearing a cloth clothes and a square crown on her head. She looked simple, had a strong figure, bright eyes, and was bright.
Zhang Yi also bowed to the Meng sisters, but he stopped talking just now and stopped talking.
Su Qin realized that Zhang Yi might have taken care of the Meng sisters by his side and was inconvenient to say anything, so he sent the Meng sisters back home first.
After the Meng sisters left, Su Qin asked Zhang Yi: "When did you come to Qi State? Everything is fine recently?"
"I have been in Qi State for more than half a year and have been staying in Tian Cheng's mansion as a guest. I have been looking for opportunities to lobby for King Tian Pijiang of Qi." Zhang Yi replied.
Su Qin said "Oh", and he thought of Tian Cheng being captured last night. Fortunately, Zhang Yi was not in the team led by Tian Cheng, otherwise he would have been implicated.
Zhang Yi continued, "I heard a little news from Senior Brother Su that you have lobbyed Yan and Zhao for success, and are both prime ministers of the two countries, but I have accomplished nothing here." He said, sighing deeply.
Su Qin advised Zhang Yi and said, "It doesn't matter. It's a difficult thing for us to lobby the princes by verbal words, and everyone's chances are very different, so the results we get are naturally different. I'm just a little better."
Zhang Yi nodded frequently, and it could be seen that he was not willing to live in the middle of the house for a long time.
After waiting for a while, Zhang Yi said, "I only heard yesterday that Senior Brother Su had been on a mission to Qi and lived in Tian Tong's mansion. So I didn't come to visit until today. I asked the concierge of Tian's mansion to report, and they told me that you were out, so I'm waiting here."
Su Qin nodded and smiled, understanding why Zhang Yi suddenly appeared on the corner of the street. He said, "There was a big incident in Tian Mansion last night, and it was not convenient for me to live here forever, so I went out to find a new residence. I didn't expect to meet Junior Brother Zhang."
He was worried about Zhang Yi and said, "I believe you know about Tian Cheng's capture, Junior Brother Zhang, too. Then Tian Cheng's mansion is not a place to stay for a long time."
Zhang Yi smiled mysteriously and said, "I'm worried about Senior Brother Su. I'm very good, and it's okay to be safe. On the contrary, I know that Senior Brother Su lives in Tian Tong Mansion, and I'm very worried about you."
He said with relief: "Now you have decided to move out of Tian Mansion, I'm relieved."
Su Qin was startled by Zhang Yi's words and asked hurriedly: "Why does Junior Brother Zhang have this view? Is there anything very wrong with living in Tian Tong Mansion?"
"Senior Brother Su doesn't know anything. I am a disciple of Tian Cheng and know some of the internal stories of the conflict between Tian Tong and Tian Cheng brothers. Tian Cheng has always suspected that his brother Tian Tong is conspiring to usurp the throne, so he is on guard against him everywhere. Tian Tong also felt that Tian Cheng was in the way and repeatedly slandered Tian Cheng in front of the King of Qi. The two of them were in the same situation." Zhang Yi leaned close to Su Qin's ear and said in a low voice.
