Chapter 304: The Mantis Catches the Cicada, Waiting for the Oriole Behind



The sun rises slowly.

Tian Jia opened his bloodshot eyes.

Under the protection of the servants, they went to the cellar.

It was dark inside, and it turned out to be a secret passage.

This room was specially chosen by Tian Zhongxun.

Tian Jia, to be precise, should be the first class.

He was the most cooperative member of the Tian clan in Linzi.

He was the first to move to Linzi with his clansmen.

In recognition of his cooperation, Ning Que gave him the surname Diyi.

And let him freely choose a house in the city.

So Tian Jia chose this mansion.

It is located in the center of Linzi City.

The key was previously owned by Tian Zhongxun.

There is a cellar inside, connected to a secret passage.

You can escape through the secret passage.

"Chief!"

"What do we say now?"

"Should we fight our way out now?"

“Don’t worry!”

Tian Jia looked at the assassins in front of him and whispered, "The mission the prince gave us has changed. We don't need to deal with Shen Qinghe now. When the prince and his men attack the city, we will take advantage of the situation to cause trouble in the city. We will deliberately incite the refugees to attack the county government office and assist them in the siege."

"Okay, we'll all listen to the clan leader!"

Tian Jia breathed a sigh of relief.

They have waited too long for this day.

Because of moving to Linzi, I was criticized a lot.

Everyone says that he has become a running dog of Dafeng!

But Tian Jia didn't care.

He has been lurking in the dark.

He and Tian Zhongxun are cousins.

Their grandfathers are cousins.

Over the years, Tian Jia has also received a lot of favors.

Tian Jia was originally from Gaotang County.

Control the surrounding bandits and control the trade routes.

Make a lot of money.

Who could have imagined that Linzi would ultimately lose to Ning Que? After Ouyang Zheng assumed the position of prefect, he began implementing drastic reforms. Upon Ning Que's arrival, he inflicted heavy losses on the Ma family army. He then resorted to the household registration system, hoping to control the Tian clan.

But they won't give in just like that!

They just want to use this opportunity to lie dormant!

Strike back at the critical moment!

Boom boom boom…

Heavy footsteps were heard.

“Someone?!”

"Is it the clan leader's people?"

"Impossible!" Tian Jia immediately drew his weapon and said in a deep voice, "The only ones who know about this place are you and me!"

"First Class, long time no see."

The cellar door was opened.

The sun is also shining.

The dazzling light made them a little dazed.

Ouyang Zheng stood there calmly.

Sharp arrows were aimed at the cellar.

The other side of the secret passage was also busy.

Many county soldiers rushed out at the same time.

They were trapped in the cellar.

Just wait for his order and then we can take action!

"Ou...Ouyang Zheng?!"

"You're still too naive." Ouyang Zheng looked down at them and said calmly, "Your tricks won't be able to deceive the prince. After you moved to Linzi, the prince rewarded you with many slaves and cooks. These people are not so simple. Your every move is under our watch."

This method is too obvious.

Not to mention Ning Que, who couldn't see it?

Each of these Tian clans was proud of their surname. But after Tian Zhongxun arrived, they all agreed to move to Linzi and voluntarily changed their surnames. Could such behavior be okay?

Since there was a problem, Ning Que would naturally plant an undercover agent. His excuse was also very reasonable, so they didn't take it to heart. They thought they were hiding the truth, but in fact, they were completely outmaneuvered by Ning Que.

Ouyang Zheng raised his head and sneered.

This is what he admires most about Ning Que.

Others take one step at a time and see what happens next.

Ning Que looked at least three steps ahead!

Ning Que has been preparing for this day for several years!

“You…you guys…”

"Fight them!"

Seeing this, Ouyang Zheng just hooked his finger.

Sharp arrows were shot out.

Accompanied by screams of agony.

Many assassins continued to fall in a pool of blood.

“No…don’t!”

"Ouyang Zheng, don't!"

"Stop it, stop it!"

Tian Jia was furious when he saw this scene.

Many of these people are his closest relatives!

There are his own flesh and blood!

There is his nephew!

And his nephew!

But now, they are all dead!

"If I had known this would happen, why did I do it in the first place?" Ouyang Zheng looked at Tian Jia, who was now slumped on the ground, and raised his hand coldly, saying, "Don't just stand there, tie him up quickly and take him to the city wall."

"promise!"

The county soldiers jumped down into the cellar one after another.

Ouyang Zheng ignored Tian Jia's wailing.

You reap what you sow.

It's all their own fault that they have come to this point.

Apart from anything else, Ning Que had given these Tian clans a chance. As long as they submitted honestly, Ning Que would not do anything to them. Although their wealth would be greatly reduced, at least they would still be alive. If they behaved well, they would have no problem becoming county officials in the future.

But what is the result?

What did they do again?

Pretend to obey, but rebel secretly!

No one can tolerate this kind of thing!

Tian Jia followed behind trembling.

When he reached the city wall, he saw more and more members of the Tian clan being tied up and taken away. Many refugees nearby saw this scene and joined in the fun, some even throwing stones at them.

"Haha, these beasts have been caught!"

"Kill them quickly!"

"Back in Gaotang County, I was wrongly accused of stealing cattle. I gritted my teeth and defended myself, but I didn't expect the person to be the manager of Tianjia, and then he convicted me!"
