Late Tang Dynasty: I

Chapter 79

With the signboard of the Cen family, things will be much easier to handle later.

When the group entered Sishui Pass, the guards at the city gate were still wondering why Shen Cuntai prevaricated and encountered strong men with such blood on everyone's bodies.

Shen Cuntai was also a thoughtful person, so he ordered three of his men to pretend to be stab wounds, lie on the cart and keep screaming.

The guards didn't suspect anything else. After checking the business name certificate, Shen Cuntai handed over a bunch of copper coins, and the guards readily put them into the pass.

Sishui Pass, also known as Hulao Pass, is one of the eight passes in Luoyang. flee.

The rest were also looted by the army.

The Cen family and the Xuanwu military naturally have an incessant relationship. When the Cen family's business card is handed over to the army, someone will lead the crowd to arrange a bed and breakfast.

During the process, Shen Cuntai sensitively discovered that the morale of the soldiers was not high.

Shen Cuntai handed over a jar of wine, and said with a smile to the soldiers leading the way: "The army won, why does the military master look worried? Isn't the commander's reward generous enough?"

The soldier didn't want to speak at first, but for the sake of the wine, he let out a long sigh and said: "The deputy commander in chief died, I'm afraid that the commander in chief will blame him."

Shen Cuntai said with a smile: "The matter of the generals has nothing to do with us. We just need to live our own life and let him go."

"Bah!" The soldier teased: "You just want me to buy you two more jugs of wine, and you say that the businessman is so heartbroken, it's true."

"That can't be done, the heart, liver and lungs are all black, why give wine to Jun Ye to drink?"

"Why, do you still want money?"

"Why do I come here if I don't want money, but you can drink it for free, Mr. Jun, as long as you bring someone here."

"Hey!"

The two gagged and joked, and arrived at the residence after a while.

The shop is made of bricks, and a circle of soil seeps out along the corner of the wall, and the moss outside has climbed to the window sill, which looks a bit old.

There is a small door on the left that leads directly to the inner hall behind. The yard is so large that a dozen large carts can be put down. There are double doors on the west wall. The main house and side rooms on both sides are made of earth bricks. The corridor house is quite large, it may be used as a warehouse.

The military master paid a salute here, then left, Shen Cuntai suppressed the smile on his face, and led Cen Zhien to the back hall, and the soldiers behind him put away their daggers.

Shen Cuntai said to Cen Zhi'en: "The Cen family is also a big family. If in the name of the Cen family, you post to Zhu Dushuai, do you think he will meet?"

Cen Zhi'en also doesn't know what the strong man wants, but at this moment, he has entered the den of thieves, and he has no choice but to agree to everything he asks, only begging the strong man to let him go.

He hurriedly said: "The Cen family also has some friendship with the commander-in-chief. My young general entrusted the commander-in-chief to serve as a guarantor before he became the general of the Yamen. Hand over the greeting card, I'm afraid we should meet."

"Okay!" Shen Cuntai was overjoyed, he didn't expect the Cen family to have such a relationship with Zhu Zhen, so he hurriedly said: "There are some proper things in the car, and I can give them to Du Shuai as a gift."

"Silk cloth, fine wine, and some swords and weapons, probably okay."

"Very good!"

…………

Sishuiguan Defense Envoy's Residence
In just a few days, Zhu Zhen has lost a lot of weight, looks haggard, and looks quite anxious.

He sent someone to defend himself for reasons that even he himself felt far-fetched.

But today, Zhu Wen sent people to bring more than forty heads of Li Tangbin's family, old and young. He was really scared, even Zhu Zhen had experienced a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

Zhu Zhen doesn't know what to do?Even if he saw Zhu Wen's behavior of trusting him.

Bian Tingcai, the adviser most valued by his subordinates, ran away and dealt him a heavy blow.

Recalling Bian Tingcai's words at this time, it still rings in my ears.

"The commander-in-chief should immediately plead guilty to the commander-in-chief, or stop making other plans."

At that time, if he rushed to Zhu Wen's tent to plead guilty, I'm afraid that even if Jie Shuai punished him, he wouldn't kill him, or his family should be fine.

But now, Zhu Zhen is terrified. If she goes back, she will be like Li Tangbin. The whole family, including his own head, will be put on the case table.

Zhu Zhen has followed Zhu Wen for many years, and she is well aware of her handsome nature.

The more she thought about it, the more anxious she became. Thinking of her young son, Zhu Zhen couldn't help but worry.

"Since you don't want to rebel, let's go back to see Jie Shuai first. He has no complaints about how Jie Shuai treats me. I just want to let my family go."

As soon as this idea came out, it quickly grew.

At this time, the guards reported that Bianliang Cen's family handed over a greeting card, wishing to see Du Shuai.

"Cen's house in Bianliang, is it the Yawei Cen Benjin's house? Why do they want to see me?"

"It's Cen Benjin's family. The caravan of Cen's family came over from Bianliang just now, and it may be for the blessing of Du Shuai."

Zhu Zhen was about to refuse at first, but then she thought about it, since she just came from Bianliang, maybe there might be some news.

"pass!"

After a while, Shen Cuntai walked up to the main hall to salute.

Zhu Zhen asked, "Are you from the Cen family?"

"Yes, all handsome"

"Aren't you from Bianliang?"

Shen Cuntai said: "Nu Jingzhao from Lantian County, when Huang Chao entered Chang'an, he escaped from Bianliang. Fortunately, the owner of the family took him in, and he has survived until now."

Zhu Zhen said, "What do you want to see me?"

Shen Cuntai handed over the gift list, and said: "One is that the head of the family entrusts Dushuai to protect him, and the other is that the head of the family has a secret matter, and Tuo Nu must personally report it to Dushuai."

Zhu Zhen took the gift list and put it aside, her face became more solemn.

"What's the matter?"

"Please turn your back to the left and right."

With a big wave of Zhu Zhen's hand, the people around her and the guards at the door retreated.

"Speak!"

"Du Shuai, the head of the family has been greatly favored by Du Shuai, seeing that Du Shuai is going to be in great trouble, so I have to say it."

"speak!"

Shen Cuntai said: "The military capital of Yamen was ordered to surround the mansion of the commander-in-chief. It is also rumored in the army that the commander-in-chief's desire is not good for the general and his family."

"boom!"

Zhu Zhen suddenly took a picture of the table.

"what!"

Zhu Zhen shook her head, although she had planned it for a long time, but now, he couldn't believe it.

"I have been born and died for Jieshuai for many years, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it!"

Zhu Zhen was not reconciled, and vaguely remembered when he and Zhu Wen first met.

The two chatted and drank happily, as brothers for life and death, wishing to give each other their hearts and lungs.

In these years, he forgot about life and death, fought for Zhu Wen, and was invincible.

But now, Zhu Wen went so far as to kill them all, not even leaving him a queen.

Years of fighting, nothing in return.

Zhu Zhen hated deeply in her heart, felt it from her heart, and couldn't restrain herself on the spot.

Seeing this situation, Shen Cuntai knew that the purpose of the trip was basically achieved.

"Du Shuai, the master's words have been passed on to the slave, so the slave will leave first."

……

When Shen Cuntai returned to the commercial residence, he immediately asked people to unload most of the goods on the cart, leaving two smarter guards in the store to check the information by the way.

The rest of them, together with Cen Zhien, left Sishui Pass that night.

In Bianliang, there are still big things waiting for them.
