Chapter 162 On the third day after Tang Yin received the news from Deng Mingyang's flying pigeon, a captain came to report to him that a large amount of gold and silver had been found during the inspection of the caravan passing through Tianguan.
Now Tianguan is on semi-alert, and strict customs clearance inspections must be done on passing caravans and merchants.
Tang Yin felt funny after listening to the captain's report, since it was a caravan, how could there be anyone who didn't bring gold and silver, he asked casually: "How much is the large amount of gold and silver you are talking about?"
The captain swallowed, shook his head, and said, "I don't know."
Then he added: "There are too many, too many to count." ” "Oh" there are too many gold and silver to count, which is quite new.
Tang Yin stood up, raised his head and said, "Take me to see it." ” The captain led Tang Yin to the gate of Tianguan, where a caravan was parked at this time, this caravan was composed of hundreds of cars, and each car was tied with more than a dozen large dilapidated boxes, which seemed to be just loaded with ordinary goods, no different from normal caravans, at best, it was a little larger in scale, and there were more people pressing the car.
"My lord, please look" The captain walked to a carriage and opened one of the boxes, under the reflection of the sun, the silver light inside was shining, Tang Yin jumped into the carriage and looked down, okay, there were neat silver ingots densely placed inside, Tang Yin was stunned for a moment, and then opened the box next to him, just like the one just now, this box was also full of silver ingots.
Hundreds of cars, thousands of boxes, if they were all filled with silver, how many must have been can only be described as astronomical.
Tang Yin raised his eyes to look at the end of the caravan, and was secretly speechless.
Seeing such a huge amount of silver, it would definitely be a lie to say that Tang Yin was not moved, but he was not a bandit after all, and if it was a normal caravan, he couldn't do anything.
Tang Yin got out of the car and jumped into the second carriage, the boxes loaded in this car made Tang Yin even more greedy, more than a dozen boxes were full of gold ingots, I don't confirm whether it was true or false, Tang Yin also deliberately picked up a gold ingot and scratched it with his fingernails, and the traces left were clearly visible, the gold was indeed real and true.
Jumping out of the car, Tang Yin pulled the captain over and said, "Find the person in charge of this caravan."
"It's my lord," the captain intervened, turned and ran out.
Tang Yin wanted to see what kind of caravan this was, and what was the purpose of bringing such a huge amount of gold and silver.
After a short time, the captain led a large group of people from the middle of the caravan, most of these people were spiritual cultivators, and there were also many people with advanced cultivation, seeing them, the two Shangguan brothers immediately returned to Tang Yin's left and right and protected him first.
Tang Yin didn't care, he didn't think anyone would dare to stab himself in Tianguan, you must know that there were 200,000 troops stationed here.
The leader of the group of people is a middle-aged man in his early forties, the clothes on his body are very ordinary, but the temperament is extraordinary, there is a noble family between his hands and feet, looking at his face, his face is as white as jade, his facial features are handsome, three strands of black hair, moving with the wind, he can be called dignified.
Tang Yin felt that this person was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
He looked up and asked, "Your Excellency is the leader of the caravan."
"Yes" The middle-aged man stepped forward with a smile, first gave a deep salute, and then asked, "The general is" "Tang Yin" Tang Yin replied simply.
"Oops, it turned out to be Lord Tang" Hearing Tang Yin's name, the middle-aged man suddenly showed a look of surprise, and his hanging heart seemed to fall, he gave another salute and said with a smile: "In Xia Fanju, I have seen Lord Tang" Fan Ju Tang Yin wondered if he had heard it wrong, this was the biggest businessman in the Wind Country, Fan Min's father, Fan Ju looked at the middle-aged man carefully, yes, no wonder he felt that he was very familiar, Fan Min and him did have similarities between Meiyu.
After being stunned for a moment, Tang Yin came back to his senses, hurriedly returned the salute to the middle-aged man, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Fan Lao, it's really disrespectful and disrespectful."
No matter how big Fan Ju's business is, the mere fact that he is Fan Min's father is enough to make Tang Yin feel more cordial.
"Hehe, Lord Tang is polite" "Fan Lao, this is" "Lord Tang, don't hide it, I fled from Wancheng to here" Tang Yin was stunned for a moment, and then knew in his heart, no need to ask, the person chasing Fan Ju must be a subordinate sent by Zhong Tian.
He didn't ask any more questions, his figure changed, and he smiled lightly: "Don't worry about Elder Fan, since you have arrived in Tianyuan County, I can guarantee that no one here will dare to touch you."
Of course, Fan Ju also knows the relationship between his daughter and Tang Yin, although the two have not yet married, they are already husband and wife, and Tang Yin is already half of his uncle.
He smiled and followed Tang Yin into the city with peace of mind, as for the gold and silver he carried, Tang Yin arranged for a group of soldiers to help him take care of it.
Tang Yin let Fan Ju to his big tent, and sat down, at this time, Qiu Zhen and others also rushed to hear the news, although Fan Ju was not a powerful person in the royal court, but he was a big businessman who was rich and rivaled the country, and he was also a legend in the country of Feng, and there was also a relationship with Tang Yin, everyone was polite to Fan Ju, and they were the first to give gifts.
After the greetings, Tang Yin first cut to the chase, now he is most concerned about the news of Yancheng, he asked: "Fan Lao, how is the situation in Yancheng now?"
When Fan Ju heard this, he sighed, shook his head again and again, and said, "It's already a mess." ” "Oh" "Zhong Tian's rebellion was premeditated, although I was aware of it, but I had no real evidence, and I didn't dare to make a public announcement, but I knew that if Zhong Tian rebelled, he would definitely try his best to restrain me, and use the financial resources of my Fan family to help him stabilize the overall situation, so I first let Xiao Min take refuge in Pingyuan County, and I myself secretly hid in Wancheng, but I didn't expect Zhong Tian to hear the news and send someone to Pingyuan County to kidnap Xiao Min, if there is no adult to rescue, I am afraid that Xiao Min has already fallen into Zhong Tian's hands, I want to thank Lord Tang here" Between speaking, Fan Ju stood up, knelt down, and made a big salute.
Tang Yin hurriedly hugged him, shook his head and said, "Fan Lao is polite, in fact, Xiao Min has also helped me a lot and made a lot of efforts, and I am also very grateful in my heart."
"This is true, the Besa items that Tang Yin plundered in the early stage were all sold through Fan Min, if there was no way, no matter how much loot he plundered, it would be useless, and he could only accumulate in his hands.
"Haha" Fan Ju laughed, no matter how brutal Tang Yin was rumored to be by the outside world, he was very polite and humble to himself, which was enough to make Fan Ju leave a good impression on Tang Yin.
He said: "Lord Tang does not ask for anything in return, this is admirable, no wonder the little girl chooses the adult."
"Hehe" Tang Yin smiled a little embarrassed.
Fan Ju continued: "Now the ministers of the royal court are all held hostage by Zhong Tian, especially the three ministers of Liang Xing, Wuyu, and Ziyang Haochun, they were controlled by Zhong Tian, resulting in the ten corps of the Liang family, the six corps of the dancer, and the four corps of the Ziyang family with a total of 200,000 troops, which are now all under the command of Zhong Tian, in addition, the five corps that were originally controlled by the monarch have long been bought by Zhong Tian, with his horse as the head, plus the six corps that originally belonged to him, he now controls more than 300,000 troops. ” After hearing this, everyone looked at each other, their faces were solemn, and no one answered.
Tang Yin frowned and asked, "What about the local armies in various places, as far as I know, there are still as many as 200,000 local troops in various places. ” "Alas" Fan Ju sighed and said: "The local army is a rabble made up temporarily, with insufficient military resources, grain and grass, and is neither the opponent of the Central Army nor the Ning Army, and now it has been besieged outside Yancheng by Zhong Tian and the Ning Army.
Zhong Tian has already given the county guards of each county, asking if he is willing to be loyal to him, if he nods, if he shakes his head, then the army sent by the county to reinforce Yancheng will probably not be able to come back alive. ” Tang Yin nodded slowly, and couldn't help but look at Qiu Zhen.
No matter how Qiu Zhen thought about it at the beginning, anyway, he strongly advocated not sending troops to reinforce Yancheng for the time being, and now that he looks at it, this proposition is too correct, if he really leads the troops there, he will be surrounded by an army of 700,000 or 800,000 outside Yancheng City like other county soldiers.
Qiu Zhen didn't care about this, he asked, "Old Fan, have the kings and kings really been killed by Zhong Tian?"
"What's more" Fan Ju took a deep breath and said: "Since Zhong Tian established himself as the queen, he began to hunt and kill the surname Zhan all over the country, as long as the people surnamed Zhan were arrested, regardless of whether they were royal relatives or not, they would all be executed.
One of the county guards is very important to Zhong Tian's allegiance, which is to see how many heads of people with the surname Zhan can be handed over.
Presumably, it won't be long before Zhong Tian's will reach Lord Tang. ” Everyone inhaled, and sighed in their hearts: What a ruthless Zhong Tian However, when Qiu Zhen heard this, he faintly showed a hint of joy.
Fan Ju said quietly: "Since ancient times, people's hearts are unpredictable.
Zhong Tian is the most trusted person in the king, although he is one of the four powerful people, but he never fights for power, nor for merit, the Zhong family is also the most responsible of the four powerful people, but who would have thought that the most responsible person has hidden wolf ambitions, alas, maybe it is really a gale that the sky is going to kill me."

"Old Fan, it's too early to assert."
Qiu Zhen replied, the words were said to Fan Ju, but his eyes were staring at Tang Yin, and his meaning could not be more obvious, that is, he wanted Tang Yin to hold high the banner of the Wind Country, show the world, and crusade against Zhong Tian, a traitor.
Tang Yin sat on the chair and didn't say anything, he lowered his head, deliberately didn't look at Qiu Zhen, and was silent.
He is not the kind of person who acts impulsively when his mind is hot, Zhong Tian has already controlled all the central army, and it is estimated that the 200,000 local army will not be able to escape from his palm, and then it will be more than 500,000 troops, plus the 400,000 army of Ning Guo, the strength of the army can almost reach millions, and he only has 200,000 people, how to compete with him with a county Not to mention attacking Yancheng, I am afraid that as soon as he comes out of Tianguan, he will have to drown in Zhong Tian's sea of soldiers, and then he will not only kill himself, but also kill more than 200,000 soldiers under his command, so many lives are carried on his own body, where does Tang Yin dare not be cautious
