At dusk, Chang'an, Zhangtai Yanyu Pavilion, is another day to usher in. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Yikes! Tao Jun appreciated it again. You are really a great nobleman of the Smoke and Rain Pavilion. ”

"Old place, empty, right?"

"Needless to say, I've always kept it for Tao Jun. Tao Jun wants to make friends? ”

"No, drink yourself tonight. Let Ru Ji accompany the wine. ”

"Okay! Ru Ji - your luck has arrived-"

In the middle of the conversation, Tao Sheng was diligently led by the turtle slave and went upstairs into the private room.

Since returning from Saiwai, Tao Sheng has come here every three to five days, sometimes to entertain relatives and friends, and more often, to enjoy himself.

Tao Sheng has been outside the Cypriot for nearly five years, with one gain and one loss. The winner is a huge wealth; The one who lost it was his wife's room.

As Zhang Fang had promised, Tao Sheng had earned a fortune comparable to that of the box of treasure, and when he returned to Chang'an five years later, his wife had already remarried.

Marriage in the Han Dynasty was very free, and even Zhang Fang, the marquis, had no right to stop it. At this point, Zhang Fang felt quite guilty. Promoting Tao Sheng to be the second only family commander is not only an affirmation of his ability, but also a compensation for him.

The family of the liehou is no longer an ordinary house slave, especially a wealthy eunuch like the Marquis of Fuping. Whether it is an official temple or a market, Tao Sheng deserves to be a "Tao Jun". In terms of wealth, Tao Sheng, who is worth more than 10 million, is definitely the best among the families in Chang'an.

With Tao Sheng's status and wealth today, it is not difficult to find a lady to succeed, but Tao Sheng refused the persuasion of many matchmakers and relatives and friends, and has always been single. Of course, his celibacy is not to see through the red dust, on the contrary, it is to blend in with the red dust without restraint - he has become a frequent visitor to the Smoke and Rain Pavilion.

Zhang Fang only has requirements for the loyalty, responsibility, and ability of his retainers, and will not interfere in his personal private life. So although he also knew that Tao Sheng often frequented the land of fireworks, it was understandable to think that Tao Sheng had to work hard in the bitter cold land outside the Saiwai, and he endured it uncomfortably, and returned to the land of Jinghua to be released. The most important thing is that this guy is still a thief with money, and he knows how to measure it, so he doesn't have to worry about losing everything.

Tao Sheng became a frequent visitor to the Smoke and Rain Pavilion in this way, and the one who accompanied him most often was Ru Ji.

Ru Ji is in her twenties, her appearance is charming, she is only in the middle and upper part of the Yanyu Pavilion, but she has a gentle temperament, most of the time, she does not speak, but just leans quietly on Tao Sheng. For a mature man like Tao Sheng, there is nothing more enjoyable than this feeling.

Today, as in the past, Ru Ji is as gentle as water and snuggles up to Tao Sheng, but it seems to be a little different. Tao Sheng seemed to feel something, put down the wine glass, lowered his head and asked the person in his arms: "Ru Ji, what's wrong?" Your body stiffens. And it's so tight......"

Ru Ji looked up, and there was an indescribable sadness in her black pupils.

Tao Sheng was moved: "Ru Ji, how are you ...... Is it that your poisonous brother is coming to ask you for money again? ”

Ru Ji shook her head, her grief still on, and two strings of tears rolled down with the movement of shaking her head.

Tao Sheng comforted: "It's okay, but it's okay to say, if you have any difficulties, just tell me, I Tao Sheng has nothing else, a little money is not a problem......"

didn't say anything, Ru Ji couldn't control it anymore, hugged Tao Sheng hard, buried her face in his arms, and sobbed sadly.

Tao Sheng was a little confused, and he faintly felt that something was wrong, after all, he had been fluttering outside the plug for so long, and he was still alert. Tao Sheng suddenly shook Ru Ji away and pushed the case up...... But as soon as he stood up, his legs were weak, and he sat down with a fart.

Tao Sheng was frightened, and struggled several times, but not only failed to stand up, but his body became softer and softer.

"Ru Ji, ...... you" Tao Sheng grabbed Ru Ji's arm, his eyes full of confusion and anger.

The corners of Ru Ji's mouth twitched, like a smile, but it was so desolate. She stood up slowly, but Tao Sheng's hand slipped weakly from her arm.

Bang! Tao Sheng's whole body lay on the case, rolling to the ground along with the short case. In the last moment of coma, in a blurred vision, I saw someone push the door in, and then crouched down to look at me. The man seemed to be laughing, and the laughter came and went, buzzing, and hateful......

……

Tao Sheng still woke up in laughter, and that laughter was the person he heard before he fell unconscious, that voice. When he saw the situation in front of him and his own situation, his heart sank and he was puzzled: the first good place in Chang'an, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, who dares to use this means to deal with himself (Fuping Marquis Mansion)?

It was a dark house, with torches reflecting the mottled walls, potholed ground, scattered grass, and the smell of musty grass on the nose. And he was tied like a brown and sat on the ground. In front of him were several masked men armed with torches. One of them was staring at him, and the laughter came from behind the man's face towel.

"Wake up, it's good, see your situation clearly, right?" The masked man squatted down, and the torch flicked at Tao Sheng. Tao Sheng subconsciously leaned back to dodge, almost burning his eyebrows. This guy, play for real!

"What do you want? Ransom? Tao Sheng is neither angry and identious, nor counter-terrorism and intimidation - since people dare to do it, they will not care about this, it is better to go straight to the point.

"It is worthy of being the Hou Mansion, and he is really on the road!" Since the people are on the road, the masked man is also very simple, "I know you have a lot of money, but I don't want it, as long as you tell me something, I guarantee that you will return to the Hou Mansion safe and sound before the curfew." ”

"What do you want to know?" As soon as Tao Sheng's words came out, he immediately said vigilantly, "The ugly words are said first, I don't know about many things in the Hou Mansion, or related to the prince and marquis-the prince has a strong sense of secrecy, and we as retainers don't know anything about things that we shouldn't know." ”

"Don't worry, I won't ask about those things, you must know what I asked."

"Tell me about it."

"Star City."

As soon as he heard these three words, Tao Sheng's face changed.

The masked man Huo Huo smiled strangely: "The Tao monarch has been in Star City for four years, and he must know everything about the size of the city and the various establishments, I didn't ask the wrong person, right?" ”

"You...... Who are you? Why do you have to deal with the head of the house? Tao Sheng's eyes showed fear, not for himself, but for the head of the family. Why doesn't he understand it yet? These people actually came to the head of the house.

Tao Sheng, who has been in charge of Star City for nearly four years, knows better than anyone else that there are many problems in this city, many measures and regulations, including the establishment of the army, and even the style of clothing and hair. Saying that it is a serious violation to say it lightly, and saying it is serious is completely contrary to the Han system.

Because the emperor was far away, and it was always closed to court officials, the court was completely ignorant of the situation there. Well, Gan Yanshou, Chen Tang, Gongsun Fu and others have gone. But as the head of the house said, "Do you think that if I let them go, I will let them come back?" ”

However, the princes of the DPRK and China are not easy to fool. If you didn't pay attention to it before, you might just ignore it, and one day, someone will notice this West Pole border city.

Tao Sheng had expressed concern about this. And the head of the family also bluntly said that he had a premonition in this regard and had certain countermeasures. It's just that I didn't expect that it was not an upright court fight, but a trick to play......

"Who are you? Or, who is the person who hired you? Tao Sheng stared at the masked man and paused word by word, "Isn't it, three horizontal and one vertical!" ”
