Jiang Wangqi said: "You can only secretly meet old friends by looking at the sky. How do you start saying this?"
He had doubts when he came earlier. Yan Fu Fugui was rich, but he was not a showy person. Why would he set up a banquet in the small courtyard with a big horse and a golden sword waiting for him, but asked his servants to invite Jiang Wang over?
Woolen cloth?
“I feel ashamed to say it.” Yan Fu’s face, which was used to being gentle and calm, was quite bitter at the moment: “Palace Master Huaying spread the word and said that she would hit me every time she saw me. I couldn’t hit her, so I had to avoid her.”
Yan Fu was a man of immense wealth, but he cared little for anything or anyone. He was always unmoved and unfazed by favors and humiliations. It was not easy to see him deflated...
To be honest, it’s quite interesting.
Jiang Wang picked up a handful of vegetables, put it into his mouth, chewed it slowly, and smacked the aftertaste, and then said: "Weddings and funerals are personal matters. Why is the Palace Master Huaying holding on to you?"
Yan Fu stopped his glass and rolled his eyes at him: "Brother Jiang, why do you ask even though you already know?"
He knew very well that Chong Xuansheng definitely couldn't hide his secret, at least he couldn't bear to tell Jiang Wang, even if he specifically told him.
He was right, but because of Zhu Biqiong's incident, Zhong Xuansheng didn't have time to tell Jiang Wang in detail how he saw him being beaten by Jiang Wuyou that day and what kind of condition he was beaten into. But... Jiang Wang
I couldn't hold back my curiosity, so I asked Zheng Shangming specifically at the Capital Inspection Office.
It was rare to see Yan Fu's emotions exposed. Jiang Wang couldn't help but smile again and asked seriously: "I only know that Brother Yan previously got married, but later regretted the marriage, so that the Palace Master Huaying stood up for her close friend, but the inside story,
I really don’t know.”
"Alas." Yan Fu sighed: "What should I say about this matter? Palace Master Huaying is not wrong to cause trouble for me. But I..."
He was probably really depressed. He put his hand on the wine glass and hesitated to drink. He looked at Jiang Wang and said, "I'm wronged too. Brother Jiang should know that with my background, it's difficult for me to have my own way in marriage. It's not me who wants to get married.
It wasn’t me who regretted the marriage. But it was me who was scolded and beaten..."
Jiang Wang almost laughed out loud, but forced himself to hold it back, and said doubtfully: "I thought that for a family like the Yan family, and for your marriage, Brother Yan, all aspects of your marriage should have been carefully considered. How could it happen in such a short period of time?
, get married and then regret the marriage?"
He really couldn't understand: "Isn't this taking your life's major events as a joke?"
"It seems that Chongxuan Sheng is quite strict, and I really didn't tell you. But I used my villain's heart to save the fat man." In this state, Yan Fu still had the leisure to tease, and then explained.
: "The one who wants to get married and the one who wants to break off the engagement are not the same family."
However, he obviously misunderstood Chongxuansheng. Chongxuansheng had long wanted to talk in detail, but he had not had time to elaborate on it because he had more pressing matters to deal with.
"Liu Xiuzhang, a daughter of the Liu family, and I were married to the old man of the Liu family at the fingertips of our family. Later, the old man of the Liu family passed away early, and the Liu family had no one who could support it, and its reputation gradually declined. The Yan family was a family that ignored old love, and at that time it was still a family.
The ancestor of the family stepped in and gave the Liu family a hand to help them stabilize the family situation."
The "ancestor" in Yan Fu's words was naturally his grandfather, his former prime minister Yan Ping. He had served in government for many years and had made more contributions than the country. It was he who single-handedly led the "peace and destruction" of the Yang Kingdom.
The strategy was to eliminate the writing and calendar of the Yang Kingdom. Although the defeat of the Yang Kingdom was Chu Liang's military exploits, the contribution of Yan Ping cannot be ignored for the three counties of Yang to be surrendered so smoothly.
Liu Xiuzhang, that’s a pretty good name, but I don’t know who he is. Jiang Wang clicked his finger in his heart.
Yan Fu continued: "Later, something big happened to the Liu family. Liu Shentong, the most talented member of the Liu family, had a fight with Tian Anping in Changming County, and ended up... being killed by him!"
Tian Anping!
Jiang Wang was deeply impressed by this name and this person.
No matter who he mentioned to him about this person, he said that he should never be offended. Even people within the Osawada clan were afraid of him like a tiger and privately called him a monster.
As soon as he appeared in Qixing Valley, the arrogant and conceited Lei Zhanqian immediately tucked his tail between his legs, and Li Fengyao, whose eyes were higher than his head, also restrained his temper.
Did he actually kill the legitimate son of a famous family? Killed an extremely talented person?
Furthermore, it is in Changming County...
After staying in Qi State for so long, Jiang Wang still has some understanding of the counties in Qi State.
There are thirty-five counties in the entire Qi State except Qidu. The three counties Jiang Wang is most familiar with are of course the three newly acquired Yangdi counties in Qi State. The other ones are Chiyang, Daze, Fengxian, and Beijun.
place.
Changming County is in the southwest of Qi State. To the south is Shimen County, where the Li family is located, and to the west is Fufeng County, where the Liu family has been running for generations.
Further west of Fufeng County is the former border county of Pingxi. After the annexation of Yangdi, Pingxi has lost its significance as a border county.
The shortest route from Changming County to Daze County in the north of the empire would cross three counties.
In other words, regardless of the strength of Liu Shentong, the supreme genius of the Liu family, if Tian Anping dares to kill Liu Shentong next door to Fufeng County, there is almost no possibility of escaping back to Daze County.
But everyone knows the final result. Tian Anping is still watching the stars in the Fubi Building in Jicheng without any harm.
"Liu Shentong is the eldest brother of Liu Xiuzhang. The direct lineage of the Liu family consists of two sons and one daughter. From the eldest to the youngest, they are Liu Shentong, Liu Xiuzhang and Liu Xuanhu."
“The ancestor of the family once said that if the entire Liu family still has a hundred years of luck, it should be with Liu Shentong.”
“So the death of Liu Shentong was something that the Liu family was never willing to face and could never forgive. At that time, all the masters of the Liu family in Fufeng came out to kill Tian Anping in Changming County to avenge Liu Shentong.”
Just imagining how intense that scene was back then through Yan Fu's description made Jiang Wang subconsciously hold his breath.
"But Tian Anping is too strong!" There was deep fear in Yan Fu's words: "He actually used killing to feed killing, and broke into the divine presence before the battle. Alone, he withstood Fufeng Liu's strong spirit Liu.
The siege led by Xiao lasted until strong men from the Tian family came across the county to help. Perhaps it cannot be said that it lasted until the family came to help... Because Tian Anping never thought about escaping from the beginning to the end. He also did not ask for help at all. The Tian family members were all affected by the expansion of the incident.
I got the news later.”
"In that battle, two top aristocratic families killed their blood feud, gathered relatives and friends, and more and more people gathered, almost starting a battle of genocide in Changming County. The head of the Liu clan, Liu Shentong's father, shouted at that time, 'No and Tian
The local county governor's office could not suppress it at all! The impact of this battle was so great that it even attracted His Majesty to go to Changming County in person to suppress the matter with his supreme authority and prevent it from continuing to expand."
It is not difficult for Jiang Wang to deduce what happened to Emperor Qi after he arrived in person.
The bloody battle ceased and was turned to arbitrariness.
The Liu family in Fufeng naturally demanded blood repayment, and the murderer should not be punished with his own life. The Tian family in Osawa could also insist that Tian Anping killed Liu Shentong by mistake during the fight, and should be exempted from the crime.
With the loss of Mr. Liu, they have lost their backbone, and they have lost Shentong Liu, and they have lost their future. No matter from any aspect, the Fufeng Liu family is completely unable to compete with the Osawada family.
From the Qi Emperor’s perspective, would a peerless talent like Tian Anping be beneficial to Qi if he is alive, or if he is dead? The answer is self-evident.
In the end, Tian Anping survived.
The biggest appeal of the Osawada family is probably this, no matter how many resources are sacrificed, no matter how much the price is paid, as long as Tian Anping lives, it is worth it.
Liu Shentong was praised by Yan Ping as being able to support the Fufeng Liu family's fortune for a hundred years.
