704 Changes in the Western Regions
A long ink robe set off the boy's body with a slender and upright look, and his sword-eyed eyebrows and starry eyes were a little more sharp than when he left home, but he looked more and more calm.
Liang Mancang took the greeting letter and thought deeply.
The Chunyu family in the Western Regions?
He tried hard to search for this family in his mind, but he had no impression at all.
"Let's check, which family in the county has a relationship with the Chunyu family, and then check, what kind of person is the Chunyu family in the Western Regions?" The young man looked calm and there was nothing to see.
The servant Zimo took the order and bowed and retreated.
There was only one person left in the study, Liang Mancang frowned and thoughtful, and finally there was a trace of anxiety between his eyebrows.
Chunyu family?
He vaguely remembered that the younger sister mentioned this surname, which was a disguise of selling melons. At that time, the brothers didn't think much about it, thinking that it was just a random name.
Today, someone from the Chunyu family suddenly came to the door. Is it a coincidence or something?
Liang Mancang thought about it, picked up a pen and wrote a small note, and the densely packed small words rolled into a small bucket, and then stuffed them into a small iron bucket.
The backyard of the county government office is basically idle because there is no family, and there is no servant on weekdays.
Liang Mancang took out a whistle from his neck and blew it into the sky for a while. Soon, an eagle landed on his arm with wrist guards.
He took out the prepared meat strips and fed them to the little guy. Liang Mancang hung the letter on the eagle's claws and muttered to himself, "I'm counting on you, don't let me down." He blew another command, and the eagle flapped its wings and disappeared in an instant.
Zimo turned around and Liang Mancang ordered. "The person from Chunyu's family came to hold him back first, and he said I went to the countryside to comfort the villagers who were disturbed by the bandits." Let's wait for news from the house before talking about it.
Liang Tiantian was reading a book in the room when a sudden eagle crow came, which made her stand up suddenly.
It was her little beloved who was raised and gave it to her elder brother. The elder brother was injured by the bandits and was not sent back. What happened to Cangzhou Prefecture?
The maid in the yard looked at the eagle that was scattered over the Liang family with a look of surprise. Liang Tiantian drove everyone out of the yard. When the aura in the space was released, the eagle fell obediently.
"Xiao Guai." Liang Tiantian touched the little thing that accidentally broke into the space. He flipped his hand and gave it a piece of jerky meat, then untied the letter on his claws. After only one look, Liang Tiantian called out, "Go and see if the master is at home? Hurry up and ask someone to go out to find it." Chunyu family? Liang Tiantian's mind buzzed when he thought of his father's family.
Damn, why did the Chunyu family come to find the eldest brother?
Did you know that your father is still alive?
I know the current identity of the Liang family. I want to surrender? But my father said that they lived a good life in the Western Regions and were still a big family. Now this is...
Liang Tiantian couldn't figure it out. When her father came back, his voice became hoarse after a while. She was not the one who couldn't calm down when encountering something, but she was really the eldest brother facing an unknown enemy outside alone. She was uneasy when she thought about it, and she wanted to fly to her brother to guard him personally.
Chunyu family, don’t cause any trouble again.
Liang Shoushan came home and went straight to the inner house, "Girl, what happened?" There were not many times when his daughter was so anxious that she went back to find someone.
"Dad, go to the study."
When the two arrived at the study, Liang Tiantian told someone to guard the door, no one was allowed to come in, and directly pulled his father into the space.
"Girl. What's wrong?" Liang Shoushan felt so worried when he saw his daughter being so cautious. "Why are you using this baby casually again?" It's so dangerous.
"Dad. Look at this first." Let's talk about the others.
Liang Shoushan received the note and saw that his mind was buzzing, "How did they find Mancang?" He had not shown up for so many years. Even if the Chunyu family came to him, he should have found himself. How did he find Mancang?
"Dad, the family you mentioned back then is the Chunyu family." Liang Tiantian's confident tone caught Liang Shoushan off guard. "Yes." At this time, there is no need to worry about his inferiority complex. His son's safety is the first priority. "Girl, how did you contact Mancang? No, I have to give your brother a good advice." Although Liang Shoushan's mind was a little confused, he still figured it out quickly. "We must first figure out what they are going to do."
Liang Tiantian nodded. Since she knew who the Chunyu family was, it would be easier to deal with. She knew everything else and understood the embarrassment of her father as a concubine's son.
"They will not be because of the bandits when they come to see the eldest brother like this. Dad, I'm afraid this matter will start from within the Chunyu family. As for the eldest brother, I think it's better to drag it out first." Liang Tiantian looked at this matter completely as an outsider. She had no feelings for this family, and she had no sense of belonging. This idea was much more transparent.
Liang Shoushan nodded, "I'll go find Ling Xu now." With the power of the inner guard, it's like a fool to interfere in the Western Regions. Ling Xu has to take action to give face to the Jinyiwei.
Liang Tiantian rolled the letter and took it away for the eagle, praying in his heart, never to make a big deal.
Some things just don’t mention each other, and it doesn’t mean you don’t know.
But when Ling Xu heard the word "Chunyu" spit out from his father-in-law, he was still shocked. Many puzzled fragments of past and present life were intertwined, and Ling Xu suddenly stood up.
"Are you from the Chunyu family?" His mind buzzed, and he suddenly knew why his father-in-law left in the past four years, so why did he inexplicably come to the Turkic royal court? I'm afraid he can't get out of touch with this family.
Liang Shoushan has no time to hide the matter. He simply said a few words about the past and said softly: "I'm not at ease when the Chunyu family suddenly came to Mancang. Xiaoxu, you have to check this matter."
Ling Xu's mind was a little confused, but he didn't notice that his father-in-law's tone was casual, and he completely regarded him as his family. He waved his hand, "You always let me think about it." He focused all the things at this stage together, and then related to the things in his previous life, and there was a vague connection in his mind.
Liang Shoushan didn't say anything, but just waited for him quietly.
"Uncle Liang, if I guess correctly, I'm afraid it's related to the case that Your Majesty was going to retrieve 25 years ago." Ling Xu suddenly realized that twenty-five years ago, the Chunyu family and several families were reported to rebel, but they were not wiped out by the court because of insufficient evidence. At that time, Your Majesty was not the current one. Several major families were exiled to the northwest at the same time, and they were strictly ordered to not be officials, nor to leave the Western Regions without authorization.
Because the family was not confiscated and exterminated, several major families had become a powerful force in the Western Regions for more than 20 years.
Now that His Majesty has just heard the news that he is going to retrieve the case twenty-five years ago, the Chunyu family has found Mancang. If it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, and Ling Xu will not believe it.
"But how did they know Mancang? What does this matter have to do with Mancang?" This is exactly what Liang Shoushan couldn't figure out. If there was something wrong with Chunyu's family, shouldn't they look for him first? Why did he find the eldest son's head instead?
Ling Xu smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid only the Chunyu family knows this." None of them could help, and now only Mancang will test it himself.
In fact, Mancang did not have many surprises when he received his father's letter. They all knew what happened to his father back then, but they didn't know who the other party was. Suddenly, the Chunyu family came to him, and he vaguely guessed a few points.
After dragging the Chunyu family for more than ten days, Liang Mancang finally chose a day to meet the other party.
The other party was just a butler of the Chunyu family, but with the Chunyu family's status in the Western Regions, a butler was not an ordinary person. In fact, the butler was neither humble nor arrogant when facing Liang Mancang, nor was he like a servant, but came to meet Liang Mancang like a businessman.
I thought I would talk about something when I met the other party for the first time, but I never thought that the man had just had a meal with Liang Mancang except to show his identity. This attitude made Liang Mancang increasingly unable to figure out the other party’s intentions, but he knew that his father was stepping up his investigation, so he remained silent. He believed that the fox would sooner or later show his tail.
Sure enough, a few days later, the butler actually "meeted" Liang Mancang who was out.
In the eyes of the other party, it seemed that the county magistrate did not take the attention of the county magistrate seriously, and he actually invited Liang Mancang for tea like an old friend.
Liang Mancang also deliberately tried to test many things, but after a while, this person actually appeared in front of Liang Mancang from time to time like a friend.
Whenever I saw this person who could almost be his grandfather, chatting with him in a casual tone, Liang Mancang always felt a sense of incongruity.
Finally, a month and a half later, Liang Mancang received his father's letter again and guessed something.
The legitimate son of the Chunyu family in the Western Regions passed away more than ten years ago, and the only grandson of the Chunyu family also died of illness last year. The white-haired man sent the black-haired man to the master bedroom in his hometown to be sick in bed. Some families in the sidelines compete for the power of the head, and the Chunyu family's direct lineage has no successor.
A few years ago, the servants of the Chunyu family met Liang Mancang, who was still in a low-end manner at Cangzhou Prefecture. They unexpectedly found that he was very similar to the head of his hometown. Some people began to think of the concubine's son of the Chunyu family, so they sent the old servant of the Chunyu family to come to contact him.
Liang Mancang only felt amused and crying when he received the letter.
The mistress of the Chunyu family left an excellent concubine for his selfish intentions, but the Chunyu family now has no successors, and their family... thinking of the many brothers and sisters, the young father, and the Liang family even had a eldest son and grandson. This is really ironic.
Dad, now, I'm afraid I feel very uncomfortable.
Liang Mancang felt a little reluctant to think of his father who had taken care of his brother and sister after he returned.
But he is a descendant of the Liang family. When his grandfather took in his father, he had been in the family tree. As for the Chunyu family, let him go to the devil. Why do they have to help if they are in trouble?
There is no such good thing in the world.
He thought about it in anger, but his heart was not calm.
Can things really be solved so easily? (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come)
