For Sun Gan's sudden visit, Yuan Mai was very surprised.

He has nothing to do with Liu Bei, so what is the purpose of suddenly sending him here?

didn't think much about it, straightened up his clothes, and hurried to the living room in the front yard to summon Sun Qian.

I saw that Sun Qian was about thirty-five or sixteen years old, and his appearance was somewhat similar to Zhuge Jin.

"Meet Yuan Bingzhou, Sun Qian is polite!"

knew that the history of the Bingzhou Assassin was very young, but when he saw the eighteen or nineteen-year-old Yuan Mai, Sun Qian was still a little surprised, and hurriedly paid homage.

In his heart, he was envious of Liu Bei, it was really good to be born in a famous family, he enjoyed his success, and he became a prince who controlled a state; And Liu Bei, the imperial uncle, has been running around, working hard for his life, he is really more popular than people!

After the greetings, Sun Qian's entourage presented gifts, mostly some rare treasures, including the precious Shuanglong white jade wall, Shang Dynasty porcelain, bronze, and some pearls and jadeite, gold and silver jewelry, etc., full of a box, priceless.

Although Liu Bei lacked soldiers and major generals and lacked territory, he was not short of money. married the eldest lady of the Mi family and got Mi Zhu, the rich brother-in-law of the country, Liu Bei is very tight in terms of money.

In addition, he broke Yuan Shu some time ago, sat back and enjoyed the success, and took over the wealth that this tyrannical guy had accumulated for many years, and Liu Bei's wealth increased even more. In the past six months, the diplomatic line has been opened with money, and the results have been quite fruitful.

"This is a little bit of my father's heart, please make you smile!" Sun Qian smiled. Gently closed the lid of the box and motioned for Yuan to buy it.

After figuring out Sun Gan's intentions, Yuan Mai immediately decided to form an alliance with Liu Bei.

Anyway, there is no loss to himself, it is better to have one more ally than one more enemy, and his most important enemy at the moment is Cao Cao, Liu Bei rushed to the door to kneel and beg for an alliance, and he couldn't ask for it.

After the battle of Guandu next year, Cao Cao is likely to focus his attack on Hanoi next, and Liu Bei will contain Cao Cao's forces in the south, which can greatly reduce his pressure. Why not?

Although Yuan Mai has been doing a history of thorns for half a year. But he has never found a chance to make a fortune, and he doesn't want to take it from the people, let alone deduct military salaries, but only relies on the filial piety of officials everywhere. I have that little wealth in my hands.

But there were six or seven women in the backyard. There were also dozens of handmaidens and servants. In terms of economy, it can be described as "Alexander", and Liu Bei suddenly sent such a box of treasures, which is really a charcoal in the snow. If Yuan buys it, it will definitely be in the water.

"Huh...... Uncle Huang is really outside, since Mr. Gongyou brought it from Huainan, I'm not welcome, and I also have a gift in return! ”

Yuan Mai accepted the gift with a smile and ordered someone to summon Zhuge Jin to entertain Sun Gan. He is just Liu Bei's envoy, and as a feudal official and a prince, there is no need to receive Sun Qian in person.

And the gift that Yuan Mai gave back was a hundred maza. These are all Zhen Mi did not sell, there are still thousands of backlogs in the backyard, and I am worried that there is no place to deal with them, but I didn't expect them to come in handy at this moment. He ordered the servants to move out of the backyard and load Sun Qian in the car.

Yuan Mai originally wanted to give Liu Bei a thousand in return, but after thinking about it, giving too much would make this "high-tech" product worthless, so he changed his decision and only gave a hundred. There is a saying that "scarcity is precious", Liu Bei may take it as a treasure after seeing it!

"This is definitely a high-tech product, and he Liu Bei doesn't suffer at all!" Yuan Mai was wearing a thick coat and a mink hat, looking at the servant who was loading the car, and snickered in his heart.

Sun Qian had never seen such a strange thing, picked up one and experienced it for a while, and couldn't help but give Yuan Mai a thumbs up, and praised it repeatedly: "Although this thing is small, it is ingenious and original, Uncle Huang will definitely like it when he sees it, I am here to thank the envoy on behalf of the lord!" ”

After the carriage was loaded, Sun Gan went to the post house to attend the banquet accompanied by Zhuge Jin, and Yuan Mai didn't need to worry about the rest. He ordered the servants to move the rare treasures sent by Liu Bei to the backyard, and at this moment several women were rubbing mahjong happily.

"Ladies and beauties, don't patronize and play, come and see what gifts I received today!"

Yuan Mai interrupted the game with a high-five, and opened the box to greet them. It doesn't matter if Feng Yunniang and Cai Yan inside are outsiders, they are all called Mrs.

Although women love to play, they love rare treasures even more, and they all surround them in an instant, look at this and that, almost every one of them can't put it down.

Yuan Mai was merciful and generously asked each of them to pick a favorite item to collect, and the rest would be sent to the vault for safekeeping in case of emergency.

At this moment, hurried footsteps sounded outside the room, and the servant reported in a panic outside the door: "Lord Qiyu assassinated Shi, the big thing is not good, the mansion is besieged!" ”

"What? The mansion is besieged? ”

Yuan Mai was suddenly confused by the second monk, who was still excited just now, and the women who were chattering were also startled, looking at each other, not understanding what was going on? The dignified "General's Mansion", how can it be said that it is surrounded by siege?

Yuan Mai took a deep breath, waved his hand to signal the women to be calm, and then pretended to be calm and opened the door, stared at the servants outside the door, and asked calmly, "Surrounded by Cao Jun?" ”

"Not ......"

The servant hunched over and spoke, wiping the beads of sweat from his forehead. On such a cold day, you can run and sweat profusely, which shows how urgent the situation is!

"Isn't it Cao Jun, who is it? Black Mountain Bandits or Hun Soldiers? Yuan Mai became more and more confused, "Take a breath and speak slowly!" ”

After the servant took a big breath, he stabilized his mind, and said anxiously: "It's not Cao Jun or the Black Mountain thief, but the servants and clansmen of the Zhang family in Hanoi, there are four or five hundred people, blocking the gate and not letting them enter or exit, shouting that they want to meet Lord Assassin Shi and administer justice for them!" ”

Yuan Mai understood a little at this time, and slapped the table case angrily: "I think the enemy army has come in, and I dare to besiege the mansion, what is the difference between it and making a riot?" It's really unreasonable, take me to see it! ”

Speaking of the Zhang family in Hanoi, Yuan Mai is no stranger, with nearly 200,000 people in Hanoi, the Zhang family can be regarded as the leading family.

During the period of Emperor Ling, someone in the Zhang family achieved the position of a scholar and a servant in the court, and later there was a Henan Yin, which was regarded as a glory for the Zhang family.

In recent years, Hanoi has been controlled by the Yuan family, although the Zhang family has no big officials, but Feng Ji's wife Zhang is the daughter of the patriarch of the Zhang family, and Feng Ji is a big celebrity in front of Yuan Shao, the prestige of the Zhang family is still undiminished, and often under the banner of Feng Ji, he is powerful in the local area and oppresses the villagers.

Yuan Mai has heard of this for a long time. But it's all trivial things, Yuan Mai turned a blind eye, in line with the principle that more things are better than less, and he didn't want to provoke Zhang.

As soon as the Zhang family has a large population, there are thousands of people from the Guang clan and servants, which touches their interests, and they have to chew their tongues behind their backs and smear themselves, and the gains outweigh the losses. Second, he is afraid that Feng Ji will be favored in front of Yuan Shao, if he slanders himself in front of Yuan Shao every once in a while, it will inevitably cause unnecessary trouble.

I didn't expect this Zhang family to step on his nose and face and besiege his mansion, it is really bold, my aunt can't bear it!

Yuan Mai came to the door of the mansion surrounded by dozens of guards, and looked around, only to see a black and oppressive piece in front of the general's mansion, there were both old men with bright heads, there were also children with drooping hair, there were well-dressed young ladies and young women, and there were also small maids dressed as servants and maids, men and women, women and children, old and young, there were three or four hundred people, and the gate of the general's mansion was blocked tightly.

Don't say it, the consciousness of this group of people is still very advanced, not only blocked the door, but also made a huge banner with a white cloth, on which a row of big characters was written in seal: "Severely punish the Taishou Tianchou, return justice to my Zhang family, and release the son Zhang Pei!" ”

"Shhh...... The people of this Zhang family are really bold, not to mention what happened, the gate of my Tangtang Prefecture Thorn Mansion actually blocked it for me, and it was clear that he didn't put me in his eyes! ”

Yuan Mai suppressed the anger in his heart, walked to the high steps, waved his hand to signal quiet, and asked in a loud voice, "What happened?" How dare you besiege my mansion? ”

For the appearance of Lord Thorn Shi, this group of people has no fear, but the noise is even more fierce.

"Is there any royal law? Say arrest people? ”

"Release people, release people, release people! In our Hanoi, it is not the turn of the surname Tian to be presumptuous! ”

"It's not enough to just release people, we must remove Tian Chou's Taishou, and only by playing the board can we relieve hatred!"

Looking at the noisy old and weak women and children, I don't know where the patriarch of the Zhang family is hiding, eighty percent is enough to fan the flames behind the scenes, and then hide, and then come out to end at a critical moment, these old foxes are both cunning and black-bellied.

Listening to these noisy words, Yuan Mai guessed that nine times out of ten it was Tian Chou who arrested some important person of the Zhang family, so he provoked the family surnamed Zhang to come to the door to make trouble, and turned back to the guards and said: "Quickly send Taishou Tian Chou to my mansion to ask, what happened?" So much so that the Zhang family came to make trouble? ”

The guards turned over from the back door and went straight to the Taishou Mansion, and after a while, they immediately returned and reported to Yuan Maiyu: "If you stab Lord Shi back, the Taishou Mansion was also blocked by the people of the Zhang family, and four or five hundred people took eggs and vegetables to make a mess in front of the Taishou Mansion, and Tian Taishou couldn't get out of the gate!" ”

"What, how can that be?"

Yuan Mai was furious, these Diao people are really lawless, if you tolerate him, they will treat you as cowardice. is so reckless, taking a county too much to humiliate them, and it is not good to punish them severely, otherwise where is the official authority?

"Let Zhou Cang bring a thousand soldiers over, arrest all the women, children, old and children, and severely punish them, and whoever dares to resist arrest will be killed on the spot!"

Yuan Mai raised his eyebrows and ordered viciously, his eyes full of murderous energy. (To be continued......)
