When Tao Ying returned to the lobby of the Assassin's Mansion, the time was close to the second watch, but the banquet in the lobby of the Assassin's Mansion was still not over, Chen Jue, Mi Zhu, Xu Fang, Zheng Xuan, Chen Qun and Xiao Jian and other wealthy families of the Xuzhou Shi clan, either in person, or in person or in Xuzhou family representatives were present, one by one in green clothes and white robes, graceful and elegant, loud words, or generous or gentle, quoting scriptures, gushing, smelling and drinking, secretly degrading current affairs, simply Tao Ying's Assassin's Mansion lobby as a meeting place for celebrities and gentlemen.

To tell the truth, Tao Ying is disgusted with these so-called celebrities from the bottom of his heart, and the deputy director of Tao and these Qingliu celebrities who have no ink in their hearts will definitely not be able to pee in a pot, but there is no way, in this era when the scholars monopolize most of the resources and land, Tao Ying has to win the support of these gate lords if he wants to sit firmly in the position of Xuzhou's assassin history, so no matter how much he despises in his heart, Tao Ying can only be thinking in his heart about when to implement the imperial examination to break the monopoly of the gate valve, while forcing a smile and shaking his head to chant poetry, returned to the banquet hall with a smile on his face, and couldn't help but be hypocritical and polite to these gentlemen.

But fortunately, in the previous few scholars' gatherings, Deputy Director Tao had already used plagiarized poems from later generations to scare these rare and strange merry scholars, and this time no one dared to sell sour poems in front of Tao Ying, so when they saw Tao Ying coming in, everyone could only quickly get up and salute, and inquire why Tao Ying had been gone for so long, Tao Ying said casually: "I went to see that Liu Bei by the way just now, and personally interrogated and inquired about the whereabouts of Liu Bei's thief, I never thought that this thief was very strong and wasted a lot of time, But he didn't ask anything. ”

Drag the blessing of effective publicity, the wealthy giants in Xuzhou have long hated Xuande Gong's crime of luring wolves into the house several times, which will hear Tao Ying hate Liu Bei so much, but he didn't feel that Tao Ying was too kind to take revenge, and he didn't follow Tao Ying to scold Xuande Gong's thief heart is not dead. When Tao Ying turned his eyes to look at Mi Zhu again, he saw that Mi Zhu looked as usual, and was whispering to Cao Bao, the veteran of the Xuzhou army, his former colleague, and he didn't know what to say, Cao Bao was also nodding again and again, with some smiles on his face, Tao Ying inevitably had a fire in his heart, and scolded secretly: "Dog, it's cheap for you!" ”

At this time, Cao Bao stood up, walked up to Tao Ying and said with a smile: "Virtuous son-in-law, there is a sentence said by the old man, although it is not appropriate, but this is a great thing, Yu Xian's son-in-law has infinite benefits in Xuzhou, so the old man can't take care of it so much. ”

"If your father-in-law has something to say, please speak up, and your son-in-law will listen to you." In front of many representatives of the Xuzhou Shi clan, Tao Ying did not dare to put on a public stand in front of Cao Bao, and honestly called himself a junior.

"Just now, Zizhong begged the old man to be a matchmaker, and wanted to send his sister to the virtuous son-in-law as a concubine, I don't know if the virtuous son-in-law Kenna?" Cao Bao knew that her daughter was the same sister as Mi Zhen, and Mi Zhen also went to Tao Mansion to help take care of her pregnant daughter two days in three days, so Cao Bao was not taboo when he spoke, and said with a smile: "In addition, Mi Zizhong also said that if the virtuous son-in-law is Kenna, he is willing to take half of the family property as a dowry and give it to the virtuous son-in-law together with his sister." ”

As soon as Cao Bao said this, there was naturally a stirring in the lobby, and the Xuzhou scholars present were all speechless, and they were all surprised by Mi Zhu's generosity, Mi Zhu is the number one rich man in Xuzhou, even if it is half of the family property, it has exceeded the total assets of most of the Xuzhou giants present, and he has given away such a huge amount of money, and he has also taken a beautiful sister who is charming and charming, such boldness is unheard of throughout the ages.

"Half of the family property as a dowry?" A hint of surprise flashed in Tao Ying's eyes, and he secretly said in his heart: "What the hell is Mi Zhu doing?" I sent someone to pretend to be a big-eared thief messenger to deceive him with ironclad evidence of his crime, even Mi Zhen's stupid girl understood that I was trying to attack the Mi family, Mi Zhu escaped by luck, and did not flee for his life to leave Pengcheng in a hurry, and even wanted to marry my sister to me as a concubine, what did I want to do? ”

At this time, Mi Zhu had already come to Tao Ying and knelt down on his knees, and said respectfully: "Fujun, the brother of the grass people is rebellious, murdering the old man, and killing the old man, killing the old man, and the old man and the king are magnanimous, and they did not pursue the crime of implicating the grass people's family, and the grass people are grateful." Today, the grass people have the courage to climb the dragon and the phoenix, sincerely offer their sister and half of the family property, do not seek to fly Huang Tengda, only to repay the life of the father and son of the king, and hope that the king of the house will accept the grace, and the grass people will also swear allegiance to the king of the house in the future, and dare not have two hearts, please check the king. ”

After saying these words with puns, Mi Zhu kowtowed to Tao Ying again and again, and even shed sincere tears, and Tao Ying also heard Mi Zhu's extraneous voice, and said secretly in his heart: "Could it be that Mi Zhu also guessed that I wanted to slaughter sheep and cut meat, and knew that I would definitely not let him go, so he simply took the initiative to speak, and exchanged his sister and half of the family property for his dog's life, as well as the remaining half of his family property?" ”

Seeing this scene, the representative of the wealthy family of Xuzhou Shi next to him also thought that Mi Zhu was always afraid of Mi Fang's implication, so he took the initiative to donate money and sister to protect himself. After Tao Ying hesitated again and again, he finally picked up Mi Zhu in person, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zizhong has said it, not to mention that the crime of Brother Ling must not implicate the family, but the last order of the father, and what is said today is enough to prove that Mr. Zizhong is loyal to Xuzhou, although he is not talented, he has never suspected Mr. Zizhong." ”

"As for Sister Ling's matter...... Tao Ying paused, and couldn't help but think of Mi Zhen's pretty face that cried with pear blossoms and rain, and couldn't help but say pretendedly: "Mr. Zizhong's sister is virtuous and virtuous, and she was born as beautiful as a fairy, and she is beautiful and beautiful, is it too aggrieved to let her be a concubine?" ”

"The little sister can be a concubine for the prince, she is already presumptuous, how can she be wronged?" Mi Zhu seems to have forgotten that Tao Qian once asked for Tao Ying's marriage for him, just like his sister couldn't get married, he just insisted.

To say that Tao Ying didn't want to officially accept Mi Zhen into the harem, it was false, seeing that Mi Zhu was very sincere, and there was a scholar clan in Xuzhou next to him, Tao Ying couldn't refuse, so he had to nod and officially agreed to accept Mi Zhen as a concubine. As soon as these words came out, Mi Zhu was naturally grateful, and the Xuzhou gate valve giants next to him said hello to Tao Ying, and at the same time speculated about the time when Mi Zhu returned to Xuzhou officialdom - but these scholars did not worry that Mi Zhu would ride on their heads again, with Mi Fang's matter in front, even if Mi Zhu returned to Xuzhou officialdom, at most it was a political vase, and it was destined to be impossible to reuse Tao Ying.

Finalized the matter of accepting Mi Zhen as a concubine, Mi Zhu did not agree with Tao Ying on the spot to formally welcome Mi Zhen, Shaoqing was scattered, seeing that the night was too dark, and the Xuzhou gate valve giants who had a good meal and drink said goodbye and left, Mi Zhu also left hand in hand with his old colleague Cao Bao, who had just made a great contribution, Tao Ying personally sent Mi Zhu and Cao Bao out of the gate, until the two of them boarded the car and walked away, and then returned to the back hall to negotiate with Lu Su and Chen Deng, who knew the inside story. After entering the back hall, Lu Su immediately asked Tao Ying straight to the point: "Lord, are you really going to forgive Mi Zhu?" ”

Tao Ying pursed his lips, not knowing how to answer Lu Su's question. Chen Deng, who was next to him, observed his words and knew that Tao Ying had been shaken, so he excused Tao Ying and said: "Don't embarrass the lord, this time our plan failed, and we failed to get Mi Zhu's ironclad evidence of collaborating with the enemy, and the lord really couldn't start with Mi Zhu, and for a while, only this way to retreat is the best." ”

"Mr. Yuanlong, of course Su knows that the lord is retreating to the second." Lu Su hesitated and said: "It's just that in this way, Mi Zhu will definitely return to Xuzhou officialdom, God has the virtue of a good life, if he is really sincere to Xuzhou, the Lord will publicly let him go, Su will never stop him, but I am afraid that he will not die." …… Last time, the old lord forgave Mi Zhu for the crime of implication, and the kindness was high and thick, and Mi Zhu died without repentance, and this time it was ....... ”

Chen Deng didn't speak, just turned his gaze to Tao Ying, Tao Ying continued to be silent, and sighed after a long time, "Let's take one step at a time, this is also the last chance I give Mi Zhu, if he sincerely repents, I will recognize him as an uncle, if he still refuses to rein in the precipice, I will not be merciful next time." ”

"I'm afraid that Mi Zhu intends to sincerely repent, and Liu Bei will not let go of this key chess piece." Lu Su sighed in his heart, but seeing that Tao Ying was determined, Lu Su couldn't force Tao Ying to change his mind, so he could only force a smile and said: "In this case, Su will congratulate the lord first and then make a good couple." In addition, Su believes that the marriage between the lord and the Mi Zhen girl should be sooner rather than later, and he should first get half of Mi Zizhong's family property to alleviate the current silver crisis of our army. ”

Tao Ying nodded sullenly, and comforted himself in his heart: "Half of Mi Zhu's family property is half of the family property, at least it's better than not having a penny, Mi Zhen's little girl heard the news, at least she had a smile on her face." ”

…………………… Deputy Director Tao's crow's mouth didn't quite say it right this time, hearing the news that Mi Zhu decided to give her to Tao Ying as a concubine, the poor Mi Zhen sister not only bloomed a smile more delicate than flowers in front of Tao Ying for the first time in more than a year, but also took the initiative to snuggle into Tao Ying's arms, hugged Tao Ying so excited that her delicate body trembled, and asked Tao Ying again and again if she was deceiving herself? Tao Ying stroked her hair lovingly and whispered, "How can I be willing to lie to you again?" I promise you, as long as your brother is truly repentant, not only will I not pursue his previous mistakes, but I will continue to reuse him, although your brother is not good at managing internal affairs, but he has rich experience in business, I will find a way to arrange an important position in business for him to ....... ”

Tao Ying hadn't finished speaking, and the poor Mizhen sister was already crying with joy, hugging Tao Ying and crying to death, muttering in her mouth, repeating only one word, "Thank you, thank you, thank you......." ”

"Thank you, thank you? Your husband is just a favor. Tao Ying smiled and pinched the tearful face of Mi Zhen's sister, and said with a deliberate smile: "But to be a husband can be said first, after you marry this little girl, you have to serve me well every night, so that you have to serve how you want, and you are not allowed to be like Ling'er's little girl, ask her to blow it for me, every time it seems to kill her." ”

The poor Mi Zhen girl's little face turned red again, first glanced at Tao Ying, who was full of wolf-like faces, then wiped away the tears on her face, knelt between Tao Ying's legs with a red face, and stretched out her little hand trembling with shame, and took the initiative to untie Tao Ying's belt.................................... Because of the fatigue caused by being too excited, Mi Zhen's sister did not leave the Tao Mansion with a shy face until noon the next day, and returned to her own mansion in the north of the city. However, after entering the door, Mi Zhen found that her brother did not greet him as usual to ask questions, and the house was still full of servants and maids who were busy hanging red colors and preparing for the banquet. ”

The maid's evil smile made Mi Zhen, who still has traces of passion on her body, more and more embarrassed, and after rarely scolding the maid who kept smiling badly, Mi Zhen hurriedly fled back to her boudoir in the backyard, but when passing through the back hall of her own house that ordinary servants could not approach, although there were several Mifu soldiers guarding the corridor of the back hall, the door was closed, and there seemed to be a collision sound in the back hall. Out of curiosity, Mi Zhen walked over to check the situation, but the Mi Mansion soldiers guarding the back hall quickly stopped Mi Zhen and said respectfully: "Miss, the head of the family has an explanation, and no one is allowed to enter now." ”

"Why aren't you allowed in?" Mi Zhen's sister was even more curious, but Mi Zhen immediately recognized that the family soldier who stopped her was the soldier under the command of her brother's henchman Mi Fei, all of whom were born to the slave family of the Mi family who was in business for the fifth generation, and was the most trusted family soldier of her brother, and also the dead soldier who was fed with money, food and beauty. Thinking of the maid's previous words, an ominous premonition also arose in Mi Zhen's sister's heart.

At this time, a small crack opened in the door of the back hall, and Mi Zhu poked his head out of the door when he heard the movement, and saw that it was his own sister-in-law, Mi Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, first turned around and whispered a few words, and then opened the door and walked out - at the moment when the door of the back hall opened, the sharp-eyed Mi Zhen clearly saw that Mi Fei was leading a group of soldiers and was carefully placing a jar with a top seal on the beam!

After walking in front of Mi Zhen, Mi Zhu didn't speak, just took Mi Zhen's little hand and left, until he pulled Mi Zhen to Mi Zhen's boudoir, and then whispered to Mi Zhen: "Little sister, last night's incident, you must have heard that Tao Ying's thief sent someone to pretend to be a messenger of Xuande, wanting to deceive his brother's ironclad evidence of collaborating with the enemy, so it is certain that Tao Ying's thief wants to attack our Mi family." ”

"Brother, how do you know that messenger was sent by Tao Ying?" Mi Zhen's face became more and more pale.

"Don't be afraid, my brother has already prepared everything, and our brother and sister will not be in danger." Mi Zhu also said that her sister's face changed color because she was afraid, so she comforted her in a low voice, and said with a low smile: "Tao Ying's thief bought the four insiders in our house, he thinks I really don't know?" In fact, these insiders were all arranged for my brother to be deliberately bribed, and he is far from being richer than our Mi family! The secret of the three-color wine is also a trap that I deliberately let Tao Ying's thief know and deliberately set for him! Although the imitation handwriting on his fake letter is similar, it lacks a secret record that only Xuandegong and I know, so when I saw that letter, my brother knew that the letter was fake! ”

"I see." Mi Zhen muttered in her heart, "He is going to attack you and deliberately trick me into taking care of Ling'er, and you take the initiative to find out the messenger of Xuande Gong, I know that the messenger is fake, you will not hand over the messenger of the real Xuande Gong, and he will not make me sad again." ”

"Little sister, don't be afraid." Seeing that Mi Zhen was lost and depressed, Mi Zhu hurriedly patted Mi Zhen's little hand to comfort her, and then whispered: "Little sister, we have no choice but to leave Xuzhou overnight." Tonight, our brother and sister fled out of the city through the secret passage, you first prepare a set of clothes that are easy to move, change into them as soon as it gets dark, and I will personally bring someone to pick you up. ”

"Then brother, why do you still have a banquet for Tao Ying? What are you hiding on the beams in the back hall? Mi Zhen asked tremblingly.

"Flood water (oil)! For my brother a few years ago bought a lot of money! As soon as you touch the slightest flame, it will immediately ignite a fire! Mi Zhu replied with a cruel smile: "As long as Tao Ying's thief enters the back hall, and his brother pulls the mechanism outside the door, all the water on the beams of the house will fall to the ground, and the back hall will immediately be in flames, no matter how many guards and fierce generals he Tao Ying has around the thief, it will be difficult to escape his life!" ”

Hearing this, Mi Zhen's little face regained some blood, and asked word by word: "Brother, since Tao Ying has agreed to marry the little sister, it proves that he is determined to forgive our Mi family's previous sins, why do you still want to kill him?" ”

"Little sister, don't say stupid things, Tao Ying's thief is cunning and vicious, how can you let our Mi family go?" Mi Zhu frowned, gritted his teeth and said: "Besides, even if he Tao Ying thief pretends to be benevolent and pretends to let our Mi family go, I won't let him go!" Not to mention the revenge of killing his brother, if he is not killed, Xuande Gong will never have the opportunity to enter Xuzhou, and our Mi family will never want to really raise their eyebrows in Xuzhou! can only carry the infamy of the master forever and live a life in a low voice! ”

Mi Zhen pursed her lips and stopped talking, similar questions, Mi Zhen has asked Mi Zhu countless times, and she has long known that she can't make her brother change her mind, so Mi Zhen can only choose to be silent, and the corners of her eyes can't help but have a light flashing.

"Little sister, don't worry, my brother's plan this time is foolproof, Tao Ying's thief will definitely not be able to run this time!" Mi Zhu didn't care about her sister's reaction, but said excitedly and nervously: "That little thief has long coveted your beauty for my sister, and took out half of the family property as bait for my brother, I don't believe that the little thief won't be tempted." Tonight, Brother Wei deceived that little thief into our house, and then invited him into the back hall, and then the engine was turned off, and your second brother's blood revenge can be avenged, and Xuande Gong can also win the heaven-sent opportunity to enter Xuzhou. You and my brother and sister went out of the city from the tunnel and returned to their hometown in the East China Sea, and then it won't be long before your brother and I are under one person in Xuzhou and above ten thousand people! ”

Looking at the brother who was almost in a state of madness, Mi Zhen was completely desperate, and what did Mi Zhu say next, the poor Mi Zhen sister was also deaf, and even when Mi Zhu left her own boudoir, Mi Zhen's sister never noticed, just sat on the boudoir in a daze, wandering out of the world.

In a daze, Mi Zhen suddenly saw the dressing box next to the bronze mirror, remembering that in this dressing box, there was a sachet that she had sewn by herself only yesterday, and she remembered another sachet that had no fragrance and even the corners had been worn out............ The sky gradually darkened, the sound of Lile came from outside the door, Mi Zhen stood up strongly, pushed open the door and strode out of the boudoir, the maid guarding outside the boudoir came up to block, Mi Zhen scolded them loudly, and then strode to the front yard, the family at the door of the back garden came up to block, Mi Zhen, who has always been gentle and gentle, suddenly raised her little hand, slapped them, and slapped them, fanning them back, and then Mi Zhen walked step by step to the direction where Lile came............ "Little sister, what are you going to do?" What are you doing?! ”

When Mi Zhen walked through the back hall covered with red carpets and candles, and walked to the front yard of the red and colorful moon gate, Mi Zhu, who received the news, finally rushed to stop it, but at the same time, dozens of Zhige Jiashi of Xuzhou Thorn Mansion had also entered the front yard of Mi Mansion, and quickly lined up on both sides to open the way for Tao Ying, seeing the familiar figure that appeared in front of the gate, the weak Mi Zhen girl didn't know where to burst out of strength, angrily shook off Mi Zhu, who was holding herself, and stumbled towards the door............ "Little sister!" Younger sister! ”

Mi Zhu, who knew that something was wrong, hurriedly hugged Mi Zhen from behind, Mi Zhen couldn't struggle, she could only shout at the surprised Xuzhou Thorn Shi Mansion guards, and cried heartbreakingly, "Arrest my brother, arrest my brother!" He wants to kill your lord! He's going to kill my father-in-law! In the back hall of my house, there is a mechanism, and as soon as my father-in-law enters, he will be burned alive————! ”
