A.D. 180, the second year of Guanghe, April 5th

Zhongshan Wuji, Zhen Mansion

The Zhen Mansion completely fell into a white sea at this time, so the people of the Zhen clan outside all put down the important things in their hands and rushed back to Wuji to worship Zhen Yi, the head of the family who died a few days ago.

The day after Zhen Yi met with Liu Tai, he supported himself and designated the next head of the family as Zhang Qin at the meeting of elders in the clan, and the clan elder was absolutely unwilling to agree, but after Zhen Yi handed over all the private soldiers in the clan to Liu Tai, plus the three thousand brocade guards brought by Liu Tai, surrounded the entire Zhen Villa, under the power, the clan elder could not help but bow his head.

However, when Zhen Yi announced, there were still one or two clan elders who didn't know each other to stop him, and Liu Tai was killed on the spot, killing chickens to show monkeys, and warning the many clan elders present not to go against him.

Liu Tai's iron-blooded means convinced all the clan elders in the Zhen family meeting, after all, everyone is afraid of death, with Liu Tai's current identity, killing one or two Zhen family elders is like playing, and then the clan elders are headed by the new elder Zhen He, more than sixty percent of the clan elders, reluctantly agree with Zhang Qin, who has Liu Tai's support, to become the patriarch of the Zhen family, and after Zhang Qin took over a series of account books about Zhen Yi's assets on the same day, he left the next day.

"I hope that my mother-in-law and my sisters will mourn..."Liu Tai led Xu Chu and Zhang Fei into Zhen Yi's mourning hall, and after three bows to the coffin made of rosewood placed in front of him, he got up and came to the family position, bowed to Zhang Qin and said.

"General, please rest assured, the concubine is fine, the master walked peacefully, there is no pain, and the concubine's heart has been relieved a lot." Zhang Qinmei said with tears in her eyes, bent over, put a handkerchief against her face, and touched her tears.

Zhen Mi on the side surprisingly didn't make any sound, and Zhen Rou and Zhen Yu were also constantly trembling there, and they didn't speak to Liu Tai.

"Well, in this case, Tai can't stay in Wuji for a long time, Liu Tai will leave at noon, and my mother-in-law has the original protection of my father-in-law, so I think it should be fine." Liu Tai nodded and said with a solemn expression.

Zhang Qin knew that Liu Tai was in a high position and had countless things under him, and it was impossible to stay in Wuji for a long time, so he nodded and said with a slight sob: "General, go with confidence, the Zhen family has a cheap concubine watching, nothing will happen." ”

Liu Tai nodded "En", and then led the team to leave Wuji County, as for why Liu Tai was in such a hurry to leave, there was naturally a reason.

It turned out that Liu Tai had to report to the Jizhou Dragon Group this morning, and he had already obtained the accuracy of Tian Toyota Yuanhao, a famous man in Jizhou, Tian Feng's overall situation and battlefield strategy were not weaker than Xun You, Xun Yu, Guo Jia and others, and now although Liu Tai's generals are almost there, there are very few Wenchen, and there is only Xun Yu alone to support it, how can Liu Tai not be in a hurry? Originally, Liu Tai wanted to transfer Chen Gong to Bingzhou to help Xun You, but the Criminal Department had no competent person to take charge, and it was delayed, and nearly three or four months passed.

Tian Feng is now only nineteen years old, just returned from a study tour in other places, and happened to be informed by the person in charge of the dragon group of Julu, the person in charge of the dragon group knew that Tian Feng was a famous person that Liu Tai valued very much, so he hurriedly sent someone to play Liu Tai.

Liu Tai left Wuji County, and went directly south to Julu, Julu County is not far from the letter, all the way, everywhere is filled with the breath of spring, because in the past six months, Liu Tai has been recruiting displaced people, originally full of Jizhou displaced people, but now only occasionally see one or two.

These scattered homeless people did not show a look of despair in their eyes, but walked towards the north step by step, their expressions were full of hope for the future, as if they would be liberated and everything would start again under the rule of Liu Tai in the north of Xinjiang.

Half a month ago, according to the statistics of the two prefectures, there were more than 3.86 million households and more than 12.4 million people in the two prefectures, except for the four counties in eastern Liaodong, and the population of the entire Han Dynasty was less than 60 million today. (Excludes the private soldiers and tenant farmers of the Gatelord clan.) ）

Julu County

Liu Tai kept in the evening, with twenty guards and Xu Chu and Zhang Fei into Julu County, and after finding the inn where the Kyushu Commercial Bank belonged to Julu, he entered it to rest, preparing to meet Tian Feng the next morning.

The lobby of the inn

"Grandma's, I've eaten enough dust this way, I'm really tired." Zhang Fei complained with a depressed face, then glanced at the shopkeeper who was in the counter and shouted, "Shopkeeper, hurry up and serve the food, I'm hungry." ”

"Wait a minute, the wine and food will be there soon." The shopkeeper said with a smile on his face, looking like a businessman's shrewdness, he couldn't tell that this inn was a stronghold of the dragon group of the Kyushu Commercial Bank.

"Huh?" Liu Tai frowned, his face was slightly puzzled, after entering the inn, for some reason, Liu Tai always felt a vague momentum enveloping him, this momentum was very ethereal, as if he was being watched by a beam of divine gaze.

But after Liu Tai glanced left and right, he found that in addition to some ordinary rangers, they were all ordinary people, even if there were special ones, they were also close to a table not far from him, and there were two people on the table, one was a middle-aged man in a white robe, the man had an amiable face, a look like a rich child, nothing particularly prominent, and the other was sitting with a little girl, the little girl looked about ** years old, and from time to time made some intimate movements with middle-aged people, and looked very attached to middle-aged people. It should be a father-daughter relationship with a middle-aged man, and there is nothing that makes Liu Tai suspicious.

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Liu Tai secretly muttered to himself: "It seems that I am a little tired along the way, otherwise how can there be such an ethereal feeling, with my current innate powerhouse realm, I want me to monitor myself unnoticed, unless it is the legendary innate peak powerhouse, well, it may also be a broken void, but those super strong, what are you doing monitoring yourself when you are full?" ”

After sitting down at a table by the window, Liu Tai looked out the window, but his ears kept shaking, listening to the conversations between the rangers around him, it was not that Liu Tai was bored, but that Liu Tai was still a little suspicious.

"Daddy, who did you say was the brother in white clothes, why did his more than ten guards be equipped with the standard weapons of the government, could it be that he was the son of a county?" Among the father and daughter sitting at a table not far behind Liu Tai, the female baby asked aloud.

"Whether it's Brother Gongzi, Daddy doesn't know, but if Wan'er wants to know, Daddy will ask." I saw a middle-aged man, with a face full of pampering, and the little girl's little head was stroked and said softly.

"Hmph, why does Wan'er want to know, you can know at a glance, it must be the son-in-law of a high-ranking official and nobleman, these son-in-law brothers don't do good things, and if they do all the bad things, they will get retribution one day." The girl known as Wan'er wrinkled her nose and said with a cute cold snort.

"Well, Wan'er is right, but among the sons, there are good and bad, and you can't kill everyone in one basket." The middle-aged man said to Wan'er with a smile.
