In full view of the public, the Tian family members were put into prison vans and taken away. Rumors about the Tian family being arrested soon spread throughout the Xuan Mansion.
For ordinary people, the affairs of the Wang family and the Tian family in Yanqing are just a matter of conversation after dinner, and they can only be cursed in private. It does not have much impact on the lives of ordinary people.
However, the businessmen in Xuanfu did not dare not think more.
Two powerful Shanxi merchants in Xuanfu have already been arrested for liaison with slave thieves. No one can guarantee whether other Shanxi merchants will end up with the same fate.
On the evening of the day when the Tian family was taken away, Wang Dayu ignored the curfew and hurried to Liang Jiabin's house with several servants of the Wang family.
"Brother Liang, something big happened." As soon as Wang Dayu entered the Liang family's hall, he came to Liang Jiabin's side in three steps and then two steps.
Liang Binbin, who was sitting on the Taishi chair, saw Wang Dayu suddenly barging in. He pointed to the free seat next to him and said with a smile: "Brother Wang, you came just in time. Try the pot of tea I just brewed." , brewed with mountain spring water!”
As he spoke, he picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea into the empty cup on the side.
Wang Dayu sat down.
"My brother Liang! How can you still have time to drink tea? There's already a turmoil outside." Wang Dayu said with a worried look on his face, his brows squeezed together.
Liang Jiabin pushed the tea cup filled with tea towards Wang Dayu and said in a calm tone: "It's just that Tian Shenglan was captured by people from the General Military Mansion."
"Brother Liang, since you know everything, how can you still sit still!" Wang Datong slapped the back of his right hand on his left palm, his face full of anxiety.
Liang Jiabin said disapprovingly: "Tian Shenglan was arrested because he colluded with slave thieves. What does it have to do with us? You and I have never colluded with slave thieves. Even if the General Military Mansion wants to arrest people, they can't catch us. "
"I'm not worried about this. What I'm worried about is that Tian Shenglan went to jail and in order to survive, he leaked the information about our dealings with Tiger Character Flag. Once Tiger Character Flag knows about it, both your family and I will be in danger. Tiger Character Flag can raise We have hired a group of thugs who specialize in doing dirty things." Wang Dayu said with an anxious look.
The existence of the Tiger Character Banner Foreign Intelligence Bureau is no longer a secret.
It's just that many outsiders don't know what the Foreign Intelligence Bureau does specifically, and think that the people from the Foreign Intelligence Bureau of the Tiger Character Banner are thugs used by the Tiger Character Banner to do dirty things.
Some merchants in Shanxi have some people like this who do dirty things for their families. It is not surprising that a large business like Tiger Flag has such people.
By the way, I am currently using the Zhuishu app to cache reading and read aloud offline!
Liang Jiabin frowned slightly and said: "The matter of dealing with the Tiger Character Flag involves General Yang and the Datong Patrol Censor. Tian Shenglan's telling this matter will not do him any good. The Tiger Character Flag will do the same. Let him go."
"Fornicating with a slave thief, he has no way to survive. Once he breaks the pot, he will inevitably not betray you and me. Brother Liang, don't forget, you and I just sided with him in dealing with the Tiger Flag." Wang Dayu said.
Liang Jiabin held up the bowl and paused in mid-air, then said immediately: "You reminded me, it seems that Tian Shenglan cannot be allowed to talk nonsense in the cell."
"Brother Liang, are you planning to save the Tian family?" Wang Dayu looked at Liang Jiabin hesitantly, and then said, "Tian Shenglan is a slave this time. As for him, he might get us involved."
Hearing this, Liang Jiabin snorted coldly and said: "Who said you want to save him? If you want to keep our secret, we just need to stop him from talking."
"Are you planning to kill someone and silence them?" Wang Dayu said hesitantly.
Liang Binbin sneered: "In order to prevent what we are about to do from leaking out, Tian Shenglan must die."
"Is there really no other way? We have to kill people?" Wang Dayu hesitated in his heart, unable to bring himself to kill Tian Shenglan to silence him.
Liang Binbin said: "You must know that once Tian Shenglan leaks what we are going to do to the Tiger Flag, with the power of the Tiger Flag, it will be you and me who will die."
After saying that, he picked up the tea bowl and sipped the tea slowly, leaving time for Wang Dayu to think carefully.
The expression on Wang Dayu's face was uncertain, and he was struggling inside.
There is not much grudge between the Wang family and the Tian family, let alone a life-and-death situation, especially when Tian Shenglan has a patrol censor behind him, which is also the reason for his hesitation.
After drinking tea for a while, Liang Jiabin saw that Wang Dayu had not made up his mind to get rid of Tian Shenglan, so he couldn't help but said: "Whether you agree or not, I will take action. I can't put my Liang family in danger because of Tian Shenglan."
"I listen to you and kill Tian Shenglan." Wang Dayu finally made up his mind.
Because regardless of whether he agrees or not, the Liang family will take action against Tian Shenglan. If he continues to hesitate, he will only create a rift with Liang Jiabin.
Seeing that Wang Dayu agreed to kill Tian Shenglan, Liang Jiabin put a smile on his face and said, "Don't worry, the Tian family has committed a major crime of enslavement. As long as we bribe the jailer to create the illusion that Tian Shenglan committed suicide, no one will suspect it."
Wang Dayu nodded.
Bribing jailers to kill people in cells was nothing new to him. Although he had never done it himself, it didn't mean he didn't know about it.
"Drinking tea, with mountain spring water and good Longjing tea, the taste is endless." Liang Binbin took a sip of tea and looked like he was enjoying it.
Wang Dayu had no choice but to pick up the bowl and take a sip.
There were too many things in his mind, and the tea in his cup was tasteless.
After drinking tea, Liang Jiabin turned his head and looked at Wang Dayu and said: "After Tian Shenglan is dealt with, we must hurry up and take action here. If the time is delayed for too long, clues will inevitably be revealed, and it will be easy to be discovered by the people of the Tiger Flag."
"Through General Yang's relationship, I have bribed the garrison of Muma Fort. Our convoy can go to the grassland through Muma Fort at any time." Wang Dayu said.
Through Yang Guozhu's relationship, he secretly bribed some fortress guards in Biandun to reopen a new channel to the grassland.
The routes used by various families in the past to go to the grassland have long been known by the Tiger Flag. In order to avoid being discovered by the people of the Tiger Flag, the previous routes can no longer be taken.
Liang Binbin said: "There can't be only one road. Prepare several more routes. Even if you take a long detour, you must ensure the safety of the goods. I don't want what happened to the Fan family to happen to us."
"Don't worry, the fort guards who were bribed this time all know each other through General Yang, and General Yang also promised to lend us twenty soldiers and two battalions of the general flag to serve as convoy escorts. With these people , even if we encounter soldiers and horses with the Tiger Flag, we will not worry about the safety of the convoy." Wang Dayu said.
Liang Binbin said in a relaxed tone: "This idiot Tian Shenglan thought that he was going to Datong to patrol the censor, so he threw General Yang aside. But he didn't want to think about it. The caravan wanted to get to the grassland safely without General Yang. Support, it’s not that easy to avoid the eyes of the Tiger Flag.”
"Brother Liang, I'll leave Tian Shenglan's matter to you and I won't get involved," Wang Dayu said.
Liang Binbin smiled and said: "I have asked Liang You to do it. Tonight is the day when Tian Shenglan will die. I will ensure that he will never have a chance to speak again."
Only then did Wang Dayu realize that Liang Jiabin had already thought of his previous worries and had already arranged for someone to solve them.
