Chapter 33 Tao Qian is in trouble
Although Guo Jia, who came to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, had the innate advantages of later generations and knew the real celebrities of this era, it did not mean that he would post it as a celebrity.
If the former Zhen family was a huge rich man in Hebei, then the Mi family was rich in Xuzhou, with a family fortune of more than 100 million yuan and nearly 10,000 diners.
But the Mi family who came to make friends upside down does not account for much weight in Guo Jia's heart, there is a kind of person who will have the urge to put his heart in his heart when he meets for the first time, but there is a kind of person, no matter how long, will always be wary in his heart.
Mi Zhu, Guo Jia didn't think it would pose a threat to him, but it made Guo Jia feel that this person was very scheming, smiling kindly, generous and extraordinary, and his emotions never fluctuated too much.
This Mi family's wine banquet was not lively, Guo Jia and Mi Zhu only talked about astronomy and geography, poetry and songs, some wind and snow, and some hypocrisy.
And in the backyard of Mi Mansion, Mi Zhu's third sister Mi Zhen whispered with Xiao Qiao, Mi Zhen is now thirteen years old, slightly older than Xiao Qiao, the three of them chatted casually, but the topic was around Guo Jia.
At this moment, Mi Zhen's personal maid Xiaohe hurriedly ran into the courtyard and shouted in horror: "Miss, Miss, no, Master Tao is here again." Hide. ”
Before Mi Zhen Xiao Qiao could react, the gorgeously dressed young man had already stepped into the courtyard.
"Sister Mizhen, I've come to see you."
After the potter stepped into the courtyard, his eyes were fixed on Xiao Qiao, his eyes swirled back and forth on the two of them, and an eager ** gradually emerged.
The size of the woman dressed as a man is not only a heroic woman, but also a little timid at the moment, but I see pity, the potter likes the girl the most in his life, and he has been obsessed with Mi Zhen recently, but he didn't expect to stumble into a more charming pair of stunning beauties today.
"Eldest prince, you trespassed into Mi Mansion, don't you really take my Mi family in your eyes?" Mi Zhen was as cold as an iceberg, and got up to block Xiao Qiao behind him.
The potter walked forward with a smile, tilted his head to look at the big and small Qiao behind Mi Zhen, and said as he walked: "Sister Mi Zhen, who are the two sisters behind you?" Why do women dress up as men? But there's something else to it about. If it's a maidservant, my potter bought it, hehe. ”
Knort
A cold sword rested on the potter's shoulder, and Xiao Yi ghostly appeared behind the potter, and said lightly: "Get out." ”
"You, who are you? My father is a pastor in Xuzhou, do you dare to touch me? Beware that my father destroys your three tribes. The potter was in a cold sweat, he didn't feel that there was someone behind him at all, but relying on his father being Tao Qian, he was not afraid at all.
Xiao Yi's wrist flicked, the blade of the sword slashed across the potter's neck, and a trace of blood came out of the potter's neck, Xiao Yi's tone was as indifferent as before, and said: "If you dare to be presumptuous, I will kill you." ”
Who are the Four Tigers of the Xiao family? When the children of the Yingchuan family deliberately came to find Guo Jia'er or bullied their hometown children, the four tigers of the Xiao family followed Guo Jia and didn't know how many Yingchuan family children were abolished, and they had long lost the class concept in their hearts, even if there were, then the only person in their hearts who could dominate them was Guo Jia, and others dared to bully them? Even if you die, you have to fight back.
The potter felt the stinging pain in his neck and the blood flowing out, and suddenly his face was so frightened that he hurriedly ran out of the courtyard and left Mifu.
But after leaving Mifu, the potter was unwilling, first, Xiao Yi hurt him and made him lose face, and secondly, the big and small Qiao is the best in the world, how can he let it go? So he inquired about the people of Mi Mansion and learned that Yingchuan Guo Jia was a guest at Mi's house.
Yingchuan Guo Jia? A very familiar name.
After the potter walked out of Mifu, he high-fived, and finally remembered who Yingchuan Guo Jia was, wasn't that the head that the Hedong Wei family offered a reward of 1,000 taels of gold to buy?
After thinking about it, the pottery merchant came to Cao Bao's house, and as soon as he entered the house, he pulled Cao Bao in the gentle township into the secret room, and told Cao Bao the news of Yingchuan Guo Jia's house in Mi's house.
When Cao Bao heard this, he was first surprised and then delighted. What is surprising is that Guo Jia is called a ghost talent, and he is ruthless, and he is happy that the Wei family offered a reward of 1,000 taels of gold to buy this person's life.
At this moment, Cao Bao's evil heart has been born, and the temptation of a thousand taels of gold is enough to take a risk.
The two immediately made a decision together, but in order to do this, there must be one more person who nods, because Guo Jia is not a person who can kill if he wants to, Guo Jia is the future son-in-law of the Zhen family, Guo Jia is a famous person in Yingchuan, and he has an inextricable relationship with the Xun family, a famous family in Yingchuan.
Therefore, if you want to kill Guo Jia, at least in Xuzhou, you must get the consent of Xuzhou Mu Taoqian, otherwise if it causes consequences and reactions that they can't bear, then not to mention Cao Bao, even the pottery merchant may not be able to have a good end.
The two hurriedly visited Tao Qian, Tao Qian was reading, and when they saw the two of them coming in a hurry, they frowned and asked, "What's the matter?" Could it be that there are gangsters making trouble again? ”
The pottery merchant stepped forward and said to Tao Qian in a deep voice: "Father, Yingchuan Guo Jia has come to Xuzhou and is a guest in Mizhu Mansion, should we send troops to arrest him?" He was a court criminal who committed heinous crimes in Hedong County. ”
Imperial court prisoners? Is there still a court in today's world? During the two emperors of Huan Ling, there were two disasters of the party, and I don't know how many scholars were beaten as Qin criminals, and those scholars who fled from Beijing or their hometowns didn't change places to live happily? Who cares about the court's prisoners? After crossing the border, the state decrees were not compatible, and now the only person who really wants to arrest Guo Jia and regard Guo Jia as a criminal of the imperial court is Hedong County, and that is also because the Wei family's foundation is there.
Although Tao Qian was old, he was not confused, and after thinking about it, he shook his head and said: "Guo Jia has close contacts with the Zhen family and the Xun family, so don't act rashly, whether it is to arrest or kill Guo Jia, it will not benefit Xuzhou at all." ”
At this moment, the ** potter and the wealthy Cao Bao were both anxious, Cao Bao's eyes rolled, and he stepped forward and whispered: "Lord, there are benefits." There are two peerless generals around Guo Jia, one is Gan Ning Gan Xingba, who is known as the Jinfan thief, this person is prestigious, and the lord must have heard of it. The other is the leader of the water thieves on the Yangzhou River, Zhou Tai, presumably this person's bravery, and the lord has also heard of it. These two people are now following Guo Jia, if the lord kills Guo Jia, and informs the two of Guo Jia's crimes, and then knows the reason, moves with affection, and recruits the two, the two of them are just a river and lake ranger and a thief on the river, if they can be personally recruited by the lord, they will be grateful for the work of carrying virtue and serving dogs and horses. ”
Tao Qian fell into deep thought, he had heard a little about the names of Gan Ning and Zhou Tai, but he heard that one of the two was in Yizhou and the other was in Yangzhou, even if they wanted to solicit, they were far away, and now these two people were sent to the door, of course, there was no reason not to solicit.
However, kill Guo Jia, not kill Guo Jia......
killed Guo Jia and had a bad relationship with the Zhen family's Xun family, in exchange for some affection from the Wei family.
However, it can get two tiger generals, and after reuse, it can consolidate the status of the Tao family in Xuzhou, and after being strong, it will be more authoritative in front of the Xuzhou scholars, so that the resistance to appointing their cronies to the counties will be greatly reduced, and over time, Xuzhou will fall into the hands of the Tao family.
If Guo Jia is not killed, if he loses two tiger generals, Guo Jia may not be grateful to the Tao family, and he will definitely not remember this favor.
After weighing, Tao Qian persuaded himself that under rational analysis, it seemed that he had no reason to give up this opportunity.
Even if Gan Ning and Zhou Tai don't serve him, at most they will offend the Zhen family and the Xun family.
The Zhen family is based in the north, and Xuzhou has basically nothing to do with it, the Xun family has just regained its strength in the court, and its foothold is not stable, so it will definitely not cause extraneous branches, and for Guo Jia's poor son, the Xun family may not make a big move.
Tao Qian immediately ordered: "Cao Bao, you lead the people in the city to Mi's house to arrest someone, remember, you have to capture this person alive!" If Guo Jia is killed on the spot, it will inevitably lead to a rebellion between Gan Ning and Zhou Tai, and I want to subdue these two people, and I must spare Guo Jia's life first. ”
Cao Bao, who was overjoyed, immediately took the order, and the potter also followed out with secret joy in his heart.
And after the Mifu wine banquet dispersed, Guo Jia walked towards the guest room, and on the way, Xiao Zhong came to his side and whispered to him about the details of the big and small Qiao he met when the potter came to tease Mi Zhen.
Guo Jia frowned slightly after hearing this, and asked, "Are you sure that person claims to be Tao Qian's son?" ”
Xiao Zhong nodded and replied, "Xiao Si did say so. The man claimed that his father was Xuzhou Mu Taoqian. ”
"Inform the others, and leave Xuzhou City quickly with me." Guo Jia did not hesitate, knowing that right and wrong were about to rise, and it was better to leave as soon as possible.
But when Guo Jia took Xiao Qiao and Gan Ning, Zhou Taixiao, and the four tigers of the Xiao family to walk out of Mifu, he was stunned to find that the Mi Mansion was surrounded by officers and soldiers.
The person who led the army on a horse was Cao Bao.
Mi Zhu, who rushed to hear the news, was also confused, first heard the news that Guo Jia wanted to leave, and then heard that Cao Bao led the army to surround Mi Mansion, Mi Zhu, who couldn't think about it, quickly came towards the main gate, and happened to meet Guo Jia, and at the same time looked over Guo Jia and his party, and saw Cao Bao straddled the horse outside the house.
"Guo Jia, I came to arrest you on the order of Lord Mu Tao of Xuzhou, in order not to hurt the innocent, you should still arrest you."
Cao Leopard stood proudly on his horse, and the crossbowmen behind him did not fire.
Gan Ning and Zhou Tai wanted to step forward to fight Cao Bao, but Guo Jia blocked them and slowly retreated into the mansion, looking at Cao Bao with a sneer, thinking about a strategy in his heart.
"Cao Bao, you are so bold that you dare to lead troops to surround my Mi family? Guo Jia is a distinguished guest of my Mi family. Aren't you afraid that I will go to your lord and sue you? Mi Zhu crossed Guo Jia at this time and stood at the door, with a sense of atmosphere.
Cao Bao grinned and sneered: "Zizhong, it was the lord who ordered me to bring troops to your mansion to arrest people, if you are smart, persuade Guo Jia to come out and surrender, I will definitely not embarrass him, and the entourage around him will not be investigated." ”
Mi Zhu was stunned for a moment, he never thought that it was Tao Qian who ordered to arrest Guo Jia, but it was difficult for him to ride a tiger at this time, Tao Qian was his lord, it was disloyal not to help Tao Qian, Guo Jia was a distinguished guest he invited, and it was unrighteous not to help Guo Jia.
At the time of the dilemma, Mi Fang happened to return to the house, saw this tense confrontation situation, and understood the situation after talking with the potters on the side, so he walked into Mi Mansion under Cao Bao's nose and closed the door of the mansion.
