Chapter 241: Wealthy Merchant Mi Zizhong
The news of Xuzhou's change of ownership quickly spread all over the place, and the world shook for a while, Lu Buzhi was complacent, Tao Qian was depressed, and he took the whole family to start his life of fleeing on the same day after passing the position of Xuzhou pastor to Lu Bu.
This is mainly because Mi Zhu remembered that Tao Qian treated him well in the past, for fear that he would be persecuted by Lu Bu in the future, so he took the initiative to leave with Tao Qian.
Although Tao Qian has a home, but his hometown Danyang can't go back at all now, although he originally served in Xuzhou, but after he stepped down, he doesn't seem to be welcome here at all, so now he is almost unaccompanied, at this time, Mi Zhu stretched out the hand of friendship, of course, he agreed without any hesitation.
"Thank you Zizhong, my Tao Qian has been in Xuzhou for so many years, and the biggest gain is not what power position and reputation you have, but your friendship." Tao Qian sighed with emotion and thanked Mi Zhu again and again.
Later, Tao Qian and his family disguised themselves as ordinary businessmen under Mi Zhu's arrangement, and quietly left Xiapi City with Mi Zhu.
"It doesn't have to be like that, right? Could it be that Lu Bu will do anything to me? After all, his Xuzhou pastor was passed on to him by me. ”
When he just left, Tao Qian saw Mi Zhu let him put on a disguise, and he was still puzzled, thinking that this was really a bit of a fuss.
However, at this time, I saw a ten-year-old girl say to him: "Uncle, you have to be careful in everything, the child heard that this Lu Bu has always been greedy, in case he has bad intentions, we may really encounter danger if we are unprepared." ”
Mi Zhu's eyes lit up when she saw the girl, and she asked, "I don't know who this little lady is?" ”
Seeing this, Tao Qian immediately explained: "This is my niece, his father is my brother-in-law Ganlan, after her father died of illness, she has been raised in my mansion and depends on my wife. ”
"It turned out to be Miss Gan, I have long heard that Miss Gan is showing off her wisdom, and today I saw it really well-deserved, in this way, Tao Gong also knows that I have a younger sister, and now I have already gone to Chang'an with my brother, in order to avoid Tao Gong on the way to get into trouble, I want Miss Gan to be my sister, so that it is easy to deal with it when I encounter an investigation, I don't know what Tao Gong and Miss Gan think?"
"This is naturally good, the eldest brother is on top, and the younger sister is worshipped." After Gan finished speaking in Mi Zhu, he directly expressed his opinion before Tao Qian could express his position.
"Haha, it's really surprising that Miss Gan speaks so briskly." Mi Zhu laughed, very happy in his heart, and then he and Gan were commensurate with brother and sister.
Because Mi Zhu was prepared in advance, he used his identity as a driver in Xuzhou to issue a large number of blank road guide certificates, and now he only needs to fill in his name and identity, and he can easily get out of Xiapi City.
Mi Zhu and they had just left Xiapi City, when they saw a pair of fierce soldiers rushing over, they carefully described the appearance of a person, asked everyone if they had seen it, and told everyone that as long as they saw this person, they would report it, and if they concealed it, they would be punished with the same crime, and if they were denounced, they would definitely be rewarded.
Tao Qian listened carefully to the appearance of the person to be taken by the group of soldiers, and suddenly woke up: "Aren't they talking about me? ”
Then Tao Qian instructed one of his relatives to ask, "I don't know what crime that person has committed?" ”
"Hehe, don't look at that person's appearance, he is actually the leader of Jiangyang's thieves, who killed people and oversold goods, and committed a capital crime, so when you see him in the future, don't make a noise, you must report to the army immediately, even the government has nothing to do with them." The soldier was quite enthusiastic and explained to Tao Qian's entourage.
The more Tao Qian listened, the more frightened he became, he could naturally hear that the reason why the other party did not let him speak was mainly to arrest him quietly and then secretly execute him, so that it would not cause any adverse effects, and it seemed that the other party had to kill him.
"As for the mastermind behind the scenes, I don't have to think about it to know who it is, I really didn't expect him to be so impatient, alas, it seems that I am indeed mediocre enough, I have no eyes, I can't recognize people, otherwise it wouldn't have caused today's ending."
Tao Qian smiled bitterly, and at the same time secretly rejoiced, fortunately he met Mi Zhu this time, otherwise it would be absolutely difficult to survive, and the final outcome could only be secretly killed by Lu Bu.
Thinking of this, Tao Qian was covered in cold sweat, and after the team of soldiers left, he came to Mi Zhu and said respectfully: "Thank you Mr. Zizhong for saving your life, if there is no Mr., Tao Qian will die without a place to be buried, Mr. will save his life, and he will not be able to repay him, and he will be willing to pay for Mr. in the future, in order to repay Mr. for his virtue!" ”
When Mi Zhu heard this, he hurriedly returned the salute and said: "The envoy's words are too serious, how dare Zhu do it?" Zhu did this, but it was just to repay the kindness of the envoy in the past. ”
Later, after Mi Zhu's strong resignation, he decided to treat Tao Qian with a courtesy, and Tao Qian accompanied Mi Zhu to go to Pei Qing, even if he no longer became an official, at least he had to live a stable life in Chang'an.
In fact, Tao Qian didn't know until now that Mi Zhu had betrayed him before, but he didn't have any uncomfortable emotions, because he now deeply understood how stupid he was in the past? Sooner or later, people like themselves will not be able to hold Xuzhou, although Mi Zhu betrayed, but he could still think about himself and successfully save himself, which is already a rare thing.
However, Tao Qian felt that he really didn't have the face to see Pei Qing, two years ago, this young man had not been heard of by himself, but now he has become a hussar general, Xijing stayed behind, Si Li Lieutenant, his status is simply incomparable to himself, compared to this young man, his age is simply alive to a dog.
But Tao Qian has no choice, he knows that there is no place for him in this big world, not to mention Xuzhou and his hometown Danyang, even Luoyang, although he has reconciled with Cao Cao on the surface, but as long as he goes, Cao Cao will definitely find a way to kill himself, so he can only run away with a long press now.
So Tao Qian could only helplessly follow Mi Zhu to Chang'an together, fortunately, after passing Xuzhou and arriving in Yuzhou, it was a smooth road, and Tao Qian came to Chang'an safely in Mi Zhu's convoy.
At this time, Pei Qing had already heard the news of Mi Zhu's arrival, and his heart was very excited, because Mi Zhu was one of the richest people in the world, and he had something to rely on, so he greeted Mi Zhu with unprecedented solemnity, and in his capacity, he personally greeted Mi Zhu's arrival outside Chang'an City.
"I really didn't expect Pei Gong to value me Mi Zhu so much, this really makes me grateful, Zhu is willing to serve Pei Gong for the work of dogs and horses!" Seeing this scene, Mi Zhu was already moved and didn't know what to say, so he saluted Pei Qing respectfully and said with a grateful face.
