Tao Ying grew up in a rich and noble family, when he was slapped, he couldn't help but be so angry that he smoked, jumped like thunder, covered his red and swollen left cheek, and shouted angrily: "Damn! Who dares to hit me! When he turned around and saw clearly that it was a woman in costume who beat him, he suddenly withered and shouted cowardly: "Mother......"

Mrs. Gan was so angry that her face turned pale at this time, and she trembled, pointed at him and scolded: "You bastard! How dare you insult your aunt, incestuous and moral, and shameless! That's how I gave birth to such a thing as you! ”

"Mother, listen to me—"

"What else do you have to explain? I can see it clearly, no wonder your father is so angry that he is sick, you-you get out of here! When I see you coming to this garden again, I will break your legs!" Mrs. Gan was still angry.

Tao Ying covered his swollen face and walked away.

Mrs. Gan walked up to Gan Ping and said apologetically, "Sister, I'm sorry." ”

"Sister......" Gan Ping lay on Mrs. Gan's shoulder, extremely aggrieved, and cried profusely.

Mrs. Gan comforted with kind words: "Sister, you have been wronged. Hey, don't worry, I've already reprimanded him, and he won't be allowed to come here again, presumably he won't dare to be contemptuous of you anymore. ”

The two sisters sat down on the edge of the corridor and said something close to themselves, and Gan Ping stopped crying and slowly calmed down.

Mrs. Gan said softly: "Sister Ping, you are not young anymore, I will discuss with your brother-in-law to give you a family affair......"

Gan Ping chuckled in her heart, could it be that what Tao Ying said just now was true? She couldn't help but turn pale.

Mrs. Gan also sensed Gan Ping's strangeness. asked, "Did Fang Cai'er say something?" ”

Gan Ping muttered, "He said...... He said...... You want to give me to someone else as a concubine......"

"This should be! Hey-" Mrs. Gan was angry and sighed lightly: "Sister Ping, do you know who saved Xuzhou this time?" ”

Gan Ping nodded lightly and said softly: "I heard from the people in the mansion that it is Liu Runde, the Taishou of Pingyuan County. ”

"Speaking of this Liu Runde, he is the great savior of Xuzhou, a big hero, without him, I am afraid that all the people in Xuzhou City will be killed by Cao thieves. Your brother-in-law knows that your two nephews are not married. I can't take on the big responsibility. Therefore, it was decided to give Xuzhou Mu to Liu Runde to do it, and I wanted to marry him by marriage, so that the Tao and Liu families would have a good relationship in the future. Therefore, I take counsel with your brother-in-law. Promise you to Liu Ze. It's a pity that Liu Ze already has a wife. I can only wronged you to do the side room. But Liu Runde will be the pastor of a state in the future, and he has a good character and appearance, so he will not be insulted to you. What's more, there is a family background of the Tao family. The Liu family also has to look at three points of thin noodles, you should be like a lady, others have to respect you for three points, if Liu Ze fails you, sister, I will be the first to seek justice for you. ”

Gan Ping and Mrs. Gan are much older than each other, Gan Ping is the youngest daughter of Gan Gong, her parents died soon after she was born, and she has been fostered in Tao Mansion, not so much that she and Mrs. Gan are sisters, but rather that there is a mother-daughter friendship, not to mention that the eldest sister is like a mother, Gan Ping's marriage is naturally decided by Mrs. Gan. Gan Ping has a gentle personality and has always listened to her sister, so she bowed her head and responded shyly: "But it depends on my sister's arrangement." ”

"Okay, since you agreed, I'll go back and ask your brother-in-law to arrange someone to say goodbye." Mrs. Gan was overjoyed and went back to tell Tao Qian.

Tao Qian nodded yes, and after a few days, he ordered someone to summon Chen Deng.

Since Chen Deng publicly expressed his support for Tao Qian's return to Xuzhou at the banquet, Chen Deng felt that his colleagues were estranged from him, and even faintly felt hostile eyes. Someone whispered behind his back, saying that Chen Deng and Sun Gan, who openly supported Liu Ze's ascension in the lobby, must be unlucky, Tao Yuanjun asked Xuzhou to be just a show, the purpose was to see the loyalty of Xuzhou's officials to him, some people jumped out impatiently and did not fall into Tao Zhijun's arms, and the loyal ministers naturally wanted to be rewarded, and this traitor would definitely be punished, and even lose his head.

Chen Deng also had a trace of remorse, he was too eager to be sharp, he knew that Liu Ze would not accept the position of state pastor, he should have restrained himself a little and hidden his true thoughts in his heart, he was too impulsive at that time, and it was difficult to recover. If Tao Qian was really just putting on a show, it would be really bad. What kind of person Tao Qian is, Chen Deng knows best, he is gentle and honest on the outside, but he is ruthless and decisive on the inside, in dealing with Que Xuan's matter, Tao Qian first made a false accusation, and after winning trust, he was surprised and won it in one fell swoop, which shows how Tao Qian's means are.

Just when Chen Deng was uneasy, he suddenly received an order summoned by Tao Qian. Chen Deng couldn't help but be a little flustered, his first thought was to run, but after thinking about it, Xuzhou City was Tao Qian's sphere of influence inside and outside, even if he wanted to run, he was afraid that he would have already moved before he left the city. Thinking of this section, he was cross-hearted, gritted his teeth, whether it was a blessing or a curse, and he couldn't avoid it, so he went straight to see Tao Qian.

Tao Qian was reviewing the official documents, and when he saw Chen Deng coming in, he only glanced at it, and said casually: "Sit." After he finished reading this, he found that Chen Deng was still standing respectfully in the hall, and he couldn't help but say in surprise: "It's late autumn, why is Yuanlong still sweating profusely?" ”

Chen Deng said with a little embarrassment: "Hearing the summoning of the envoy, my subordinates trotted all the way, so I sweated. ”

Tao Qian smiled: "There is no one else at this time, Yuanlong doesn't have to be restrained, please take a seat." ”

"Thank you for your sitting." Chen Deng knelt on the left chief, still uneasy in his heart.

Tao Qian said: "This time I summoned Yuanlong to come over, I want to send you to Xiaopei—"

Chen Deng was shocked when he heard this, Tao Qian wanted to send himself to Xiaopei, and clearly believed that he was conspiring with Liu Ze, which was worth it, once he was identified by the lord as a second-minded courtier, the end was destined to be miserable, he hurriedly bowed his head and bowed: "The subordinates are loyal to the lord, and there is no second heart, please make Jun Mingjian." ”

Tao Qianqi said: "I know that Yuanlong is loyal and upright, and I know my father's mind best, so I decided to send you to Xiaopei to say goodbye to Liu Ze." ”

"Say kiss?" Chen Deng was stunned.

Tao Qian smiled and said: "That's the case, I have a wife and sister, twenty years old, quite beautiful, and I want to marry Runde Gong as a side room, so I have to bother Yuanlong to go on a trip." ”

Chen Deng suddenly realized that daring to love Tao Qian was not to cure his crimes, but to let him protect the media.

Tao Qian has lived for more than 60 years, and has read countless people in his life, and what he is best at is to observe words and colors, without this ability to recognize people, he would have died in the troubled times. Chen Deng is anxious to let Liu Ze take the throne, of course, it has something to do with his lack of talent, but more for the interests of the family, as for Cao Bao Mi Zhu and others who oppose their abdication, can they show their loyalty? Tao Qian scoffed, they only took care of their own interests, and they didn't see the overall situation of Xuzhou at all. On the contrary, Chen Deng can judge the situation, understand the predicament faced by Xuzhou and make the best choice, if Chen Deng jumped out like this in the early years, he may have lost his head a long time ago, but today, Tao Qian only admires, Chen Deng does have a strategic vision.

"Yuanlong, this Manchurian civil and military, no one can see the good intentions of this father, they all think that this father is cowardly and pretentious, only you can understand this father's mind. The survival of Xuzhou is only between the thoughts of the father, the father is old, the time is short, the two sons are not good, not enough to take on the affairs of the county, if they are according to Cao Bao Mizhu, Xuzhou will be doomed, the death of the father's family is not a pity, if it involves Xuzhou millions of Lishu, the crime of the father. Liu Gong of the Plains, a benevolent and virtuous gentleman, has both courage and strategy, and if Xuzhou is led by him, he will be safe. The two of the fathers let Xuzhou, Runde did not accept the resignation, and the fathers had no choice but to wait for a hundred years to pay the state. Yuanlong, you are young, you have the same vision as my father, I am very relieved, I used to snub you, please bear with me, I hope you will be under the command of Liu Gong in the future, show your strengths, and benefit the people of Xuzhou. ”

Chen Deng bowed his head and cried: "The grace of the lord's cultivation will never be forgotten, and he will definitely repay the kindness of the Tao family in his lifetime." ”

Tao Qian smiled slightly, what he was waiting for was this sentence, Chen Deng will be reused under Liu Ze in the future, and now he has good words, which is to strive for Chen Deng to be in the past, and to take care of the declining Tao family, Chen Deng is also very good-hearted, and he can understand it at one point, which makes Tao Qian very pleased.

"Yuanlong, this father also knows that you are difficult to speak well, this time I entrusted Xiaopei to talk to the media, I hope to try my best to move Runde Gong."

Chen Deng commanded: "Deng will do his best to complete this matter." ”

But said that after Liu Zebing arrived in Xiaopei that day, although he had been mentally prepared, he was still shocked by the desolation in front of him.

"I said that the eldest brother is really, he is not rich and prosperous in Xuzhou, and he wants to run to this place where birds don't to suffer, I don't know what you think?" Zhang Fei complained repeatedly.

Liu Ze is very calm, what kind of hard life has not been lived, and now this difficulty is nothing. "Third brother, don't complain, you have to endure hardships, you can become a master, although it is a little difficult now, but everyone will work together to get through this difficulty."

Immediately ordered to be stationed in Xiaopei, and the whole army set out together to renovate the barracks and repair the city walls, and at the same time put up notices to reassure the people, provide disaster relief, and recruit laborers to help repair the city walls and buildings in the city.

Peiguo is located in the junction of Henan, Xu and Yan, when the Yellow Turban was in turmoil, the Yellow Tribulation was raging, the people were suffering, this time Cao Cao went south to Xuzhou, Peiguo was the first to bear the brunt, the first was Cao Cao's scourge, the city was ruined, countless killings were killed, and the surviving people had to leave their hometowns and flee to the deep mountains to take refuge.
