Chapter 58: Chen Tianan

The eldest prince Yinti returned to Beijing early and granted military power to go south to quell the rebellion. It is logical that the crown prince Yinreng had some thoughts in his mind. After all, this was Kangxi's act of using the eldest prince, but in fact, the crown prince not only had no idea, but was happy.

During Kangxi's Northern Tour, the conflict between the prince and the eldest prince became increasingly deeper and deeper. In fact, since the day the prince became the crown prince, the eldest prince has been disliked by the prince. The open and secret struggles between the two sides have always existed. As the prince has done several things that made Kangxi very unhappy in recent years, the eldest prince has even jumped up and down. Not only has he attracted the following princes to fight against the prince as the boss, but he often said something bad about the prince in front of Kangxi.

When the eldest prince left like this, the prince felt comfortable all over. He had no disgusting figure of the eldest prince in his eyes, and even walked a little lighter. In fact, the prince was not clear. According to the original history, he would be deposed as the prince by Kangxi soon. The fuse of the matter was the eldest prince whom he had never dealt with. It was the eldest prince who reported many of the bad behaviors of the prince in front of Kangxi. For example, he was violent and unkind, beat the kings, belorus, ministers, and even soldiers "seldom were poisoned by them", and intercepted Mongolian tributes, indulged the husband of the nurse, and extorted subordinates of the Minister of the Interior Ling Pu, etc.

All the unkind behaviors made Kangxi very angry and believed them deeply. In the end, Kangxi was completely disappointed with the prince. In Kangxi's words, "I want to divide my power and act in a way that will make the decision", and thus made up his mind to abolish the prince.

Now, although the eldest prince has already reported the prince behind his back, it has not yet reached the level of quantitative change leading to qualitative change. Now, once the eldest prince leaves, it is still unknown whether the history will change in the future.

Let’s not talk about how the eldest prince went south and how he dispatched troops to encircle Yuan Qi’s troops. We turned our attention back to the back. After more than two months of training and rectification, the mobs under Zhu Yicheng’s men were already a little bit like this.

On this day, Zhu Yicheng was writing something in the room. The process of training not only made his subordinates look like a soldier, but also a growth process for Zhu Yicheng. From a middle school boy who didn't know anything, after experiencing the bumps and setbacks of the past six months, and personally training these rebels and plans, Zhu Yicheng now has a mature appearance.

"Miss Juan'er, is Mr. Hong inside?"

"Brother Hong is here, what's wrong?"

"The news just came from Chenjia Town. I'm asking to see Mr. Hong, and I'll ask Miss Juan'er to help me inform you..."

A low-pitched answer came from outside the door, interrupting Zhu Yicheng's thoughts. As soon as he put down his pen, Li Juaner gently pushed the door and said that Dong Dashan was coming.

"Let him come in." Zhu Yicheng said, picking up the cold tea on the table and drinking it. It was already hot. Although the mountains are cooler, the temperature is still not low.

"Dong Dashan has met Master Hong." As soon as Dong Dashan entered the door, he saluted Zhu Yicheng respectfully. As Zhu Yicheng's confidant, his life was saved by Zhu Yicheng. Considering that Dong Dashan is clever, Zhu Yicheng specially handed over the work of external contact to him. Dong Dashan has been very good at managing these days.

"sit……."

"Mr. Xie Hong." Dong Dashan sat down. At this time, Li Juaner brought a bowl of tea. Dong Dashan quickly apologized and thanked him. After putting down the tea, Li Juaner retreated, and the only one of them were in the room.

"What's the matter?" Zhu Yicheng asked.

"I just received the news from Chenjia Town that Chen Tianan is coming back." Dong Dashan said with a serious expression.

"Chen Tianan?" Zhu Yicheng thought about it before remembering this person. This person was Chen Tianshou's cousin. Didn't he say he was the prefect in Changde?

A prefect, who is not a small official, suddenly returned to his hometown? Could it be that he came back because of the death of Chen Tianshou's family? Thinking of this, Zhu Yicheng looked a little serious and asked, "Why did Chen Tianan return to his hometown? Is the news reliable?"

"The news is reliable. Chen Tianan sent a letter to the Tonglu County Magistrate, saying that he would go back to his hometown to worship Chen Tianshou's family recently, and also investigate the incident on that day. The news was spread from the county government and then handed it to Chenjia Town. It was just received half an hour ago..."

Dong Dashan replied, and when Zhu Yicheng heard this, he felt a little nervous. Speaking of Chen Tianshou's family, although Zhu Yicheng made some arrangements afterwards, whether it was the young and old Chenjia Town, Chen Qingren and Mao Yikang from the county government, the two suspicious factors, from the official perspective, have already understood this matter. But in fact, this case is really full of loopholes. After all, there are always clues to such a big thing. Taizu once said that what is most afraid of in the world is the word "serious". As long as you are serious, there is nothing that cannot be found.

Now, as the prefect of the first government, Chen Tianan actually wants to personally investigate the death of Chen Tianshou's family. This is a must-have. Once the news is revealed, it will be a fatal matter.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yicheng frowned. It seemed that it was impossible to hide too smoothly in the mountains. If you wait for Chen Tianan to arrive and investigate the results, then you will be passive. The best way is to intercept the kill halfway, but Chen Tianan is not an ordinary person. As the prefect, there will definitely be a guard to follow him. The difficulty of interception is not small. At the same time, the road Chen Tianan took from returning home from Hunan was a dry road or a water road? No one knew this, and he could not grasp the situation of the other party's whereabouts, and interception was just an empty word.

It is only during the Kangxi period. It is impossible to find out Chen Tianan’s whereabouts with more than 300 people under Zhu Yicheng’s subordinates added such a message. Besides, no one knows what Chen Tianan looks like. If Chen Tianan dressed up and returned home, he would not know him even if he stood in front of Zhu Yicheng.

Walking around the room, Zhu Yicheng thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a better solution. In the end, he could only tell Dong Dashan to ask the Chenjia Town and the county government to pay attention to the news, pay attention to Chen Tianan's whereabouts, and report it immediately when there is any news, and also make other preparations.

After Dong Dashan left, Zhu Yicheng couldn't sit still in the house. He hurriedly called Tian Wenyong and others to tell them to speed up training and deployment these days and prepare for the troops to be sent. Sitting on the sidelines is not Zhu Yicheng's character. He has always had a sense of crisis and will no longer relax his vigilance against any trivial matters.

Just as Zhu Yicheng was hurrying to make arrangements, Chen Tianan and his party had already arrived in Tonglu County by boat. Chen Tianan did not show his prefect's outfit, but instead dressed in a small hat in green, dressed as a merchant, and more than 30 guards protected him without knowing it.

After getting off the boat, boarding the dock, looking at the county town not far away, Chen Tianan showed a complicated expression on his cold face.

As a wanderer returning home, he should be happy and moved when he returned to his hometown, but now Chen Tianan still feels extremely painful and angry. His purpose of returning home this time was not other than that, but to find out the case of Chen Tianshou's family extermination.

Chen Tianshou was not good at it, and Chen Tianan knew very well. When he returned to visit his relatives in his early years, Chen Tianan scolded his cousin for this. But no matter what, Chen Tianshou was still his closest brother, not to mention Chen Tianshou's mother, Chen Tianan's uncle, was more kind to Chen Tianan back then. If it weren't for his uncle saving money to support Chen Tianan's study and going to school, there wouldn't be the day when Chen Tianan went to high school later.

Therefore, when Chen Tianshou's family was destroyed, Chen Tianan was heartbroken and tears were dripping from the rain, and he almost fainted. After calming down, Chen Tianan looked carefully at the letter from Tonglu County Government, and felt very confused about the case. With his intuition, the case was not as simple as written in the letter.

The reason is very simple. The time when the Chen Tianshou family was destroyed was too close to the Hangzhou War. Although Tonglu County also mentioned that the defeated bandits harmed Chen Tianshou's family, if you think about it carefully, if the bandits harmed the people, can they stop them by Tonglu County? Others don't know that Chen Tianan doesn't know about his hometown? What's more, Chen Tianshou's family was killed in the entire Chen Family Town, which is too bizarre. Chen Tianshou is very fierce and brave on weekdays. Not only does he have a guard at home, but there are many servants, and dozens of ordinary thieves cannot attack the Chen family's mansion...

All kinds of suspicious points were placed in front of him, which made Chen Tianan feel suspicious. At this time, the court ordered the mobilization of Hunan troops into Jiangnan to encircle and suppress Yuan Qi's troops. Chen Tianan took this opportunity to volunteer to return to Zhejiang in person in the name of supervising the escort of food and grass, and to find out the truth of the matter.
