Half a month later, Tancheng, Donghai County, Xuzhou, the most magnificent building in the center of the city, was the state residence of Xuzhou.

Not far from the State Governor's Mansion, there is also a large mansion, but it is the residence of Tao Qian's family.

At this time, from inside the door where the Tao Mansion plaque was hung on the top, three people were slowly walking out.

"Big brother, if you hadn't stopped me, I would have tore that bird apart."

"The third brother Hugh is talking nonsense." A red-faced man next to him glared back, "That's the son of Tao Gong." ”

"Humph! The eldest brother worked hard to take care of Xuzhou for his old son, and he actually framed the eldest brother, and I couldn't bear it. ”

The black-faced man was obviously afraid of the red-faced man, and although he was still scolding, his voice was obviously lowered.

This is the man who has not spoken, and said loudly: "Yide, this is the Tao Gong Mansion, Hugh has to talk nonsense." ”

"Humph!" Obviously, the man in charge of this is more effective in speaking, and after hearing this, although he is still dissatisfied, he only snorts a few times and is silent.

Needless to say, these three people are Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

The three of them were obviously just angry, and they could see from Zhang Fei's black and purple face because of anger.

However, the leader man was unusually calm, "Let's go, go home first." ”

As he spoke, he quickened his pace and walked out.

Guan Yu looked at Liu Bei's cold face and distant back, and couldn't help but stop for a few seconds, and finally could only sigh and follow.

In Tao Mansion, in a luxurious residence, a young man was laughing.

"Haha! You saw Liu Bei's face just now, it was really funny! It's a pleasure. ”

A short and fat man wearing a high hat and a pockmarked face on the side laughed and said, "Childe was so majestic just now!" Liu Bei has no power to fight back! ”

As he spoke, he leaned forward, "This is also you, Gongzi, I looked at the two big men behind Liu Bei, but I was scared tightly, for fear that they would rush up." ”

Although this person was complimented on his face, he was quite disdainful in his heart.

Now Liu Bei has won the support of most of the Xuzhou family, and now Tao Qian is not dead, so this young man can be so jumping.

He didn't want to think about what he had when Tao Qian died.

"Humph! Could he still dare to do something in my Tao Mansion? The young man, that is, the potter, snorted coldly and said, "How have you checked recently?" ”

"Those friends of mine on the rivers and lakes have been keeping an eye on them all the time, as long as there is news, they will definitely report it to Childe as soon as possible."

This Humpty Dumpty is none other than He Shen in disguise.

After he came to Xuzhou with Gai Hao, he was introduced by Gai Hao to a potter.

With Ho Shen's newfound interest in having fun and his 'peerless talent', he quickly earned the trust of the potter.

Under He Shen's 'prompting', the pottery merchant gradually discovered Liu Bei's scheme, and even 'realized' that Liu Bei might be poisoning Tao Qian.

So he asked He Shen to invite friends from the 'rivers and lakes' to help him find out the facts.

Of course, in order not to be recognized in the future, He Shen also dressed up in disguise, with a wig and hat on his head and a pockmark on his face, which directly made him look like a person.

Even Gai Hao has never had any dealings with potters on the bright side.

After that, things were simple, with the 'selfless help' of He Shen and others, the potters quickly found a large amount of evidence.

At the same time, the whole Xuzhou began to circulate, Liu Bei in order to get Xuzhou, murdered Tao Qian, this matter spread more and more widely, more and more true.

In Liu Bei's mansion, he had just finished discussing the matter with two staff members, Jian Yong and Sun Qian.

This kind of thing can't be explained, the more you explain it, the more troublesome it becomes, the only way is for Tao Qian to get well and then stand up and explain.

But Tao Qian is now less out of breath and less in breath, basically his entire body has been buried in the loess, even if Bian Que is alive, it is impossible to resurrect.

Therefore, the discussion ended in a fruitless manner.

Jian Yong and Sun Qian had been walking for a long time, and Liu Bei had been sitting in his position and had not moved.

Liu Bei knew in his heart that in addition to letting Tao Qian stand intact in front of the world, there was also a way to solve this problem.

That is, to quickly take over Xuzhou from Tao Qian, and it must be recognized by Tao Qian and the imperial court.

Liu Bei's eyes gradually turned cold, "It seems that there is no way for you to live." ”

At this time, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open, and Zhang Fei's loud voice came out.

"Big brother, give me ten soldiers, I'll go and screw off the heads of those birds, and let them chew their tongues."

"Yide, don't mess around." The cold color on Liu Bei's face instantly turned into a slight anger.

Guan Yu, who came together, glanced at Zhang Fei, "What can you do if you kill them, not to mention that it will make the eldest brother's situation even more disadvantageous." ”

"What's the good or bad, dare to chew your tongue and slaughter all the people, see who dares to talk nonsense."

"Yide, shut up!" Liu Bei looked angry, "Even if they are wrong, how can we harm their lives." ”

Zhang Fei was still angry in his heart, but when he heard that his eldest brother was angry, he could only scratch his head and stop talking.

"I will discuss this matter with Tao Gong and all the adults, Yide, you don't want to act rashly." Knowing that Zhang Fei was sincere to him, Liu Bei's face eased slightly, "You go and invite Mi Zhu, Mi Fang, and Cao Bao to the house." ”

Zhang Fei took the order and walked out.

But Guan Yu stood in place, stared straight at Liu Bei and asked, "Big brother, did you do the matter of Tao Gong?" ”

Liu Bei heard Guan Yu's question, his eyes widened instantly, and he was stunned for a few seconds.

Guan Yu is not Zhang Fei's thick head, he has long discovered that Liu Bei has often acted mysteriously alone in the past year.

Originally, Guan Yu didn't think much about it, until the potter pointed it out, and rumors from the outside world made Guan Yu suspicious.

Liu Bei looked at Guan Yu in a daze for a few seconds, and then cried, "Even Yun Chang doesn't believe me anymore, it seems that this matter has become true if it is not true." ”

"Big brother, Yun Chang doesn't believe in big brother." Guan Yu's suspicion disappeared on his face, and he stepped forward to support Liu Bei and said, "Big brother doesn't have to be so concerned, after a long time, the rumors will naturally fade." ”

After comforting Liu Bei a little, Guan Yu left.

Walking out of the door, Guan Yu looked up at the dark clouds in the sky, sighed deeply, and left.

Liu Bei stared at Guan Yu's back tightly and was silent for a long time.

No one knew what Liu Bei and Cao Bao chatted about, but on the third day after that, they rushed out of Tao Qian's mansion and rode straight to Chang'an.

Now that it is approaching March, the continuous spring rain has also begun to fall, shrouding the entire Tancheng in a thick dampness.

Today, the high-level officials of the entire Xuzhou are concentrated in Tao Qian's mansion.

Because today, it is not only the time for the healer to conclude that Tao Qian has died, but also the time when the holy decree is delivered.

When Tao Qian took his last breath, the angel finished reading out the holy decree appointing Liu Bei as the assassin of Xuzhou.

This also means that Liu Bei officially took over the entire Xuzhou.

At this time of grief and joy, a discordant voice suddenly sounded.

"Villain Liu Bei, if it wasn't for my father to take you in, you would be where you are today, and you actually murdered my father and robbed me of Xuzhou, you really deserve to die." The potter said with a solemn face, "Come on! Kill this ungrateful villain for me. ”

He Shen hid in the crowd behind him, looked at the irrational potter with a shocked face, and couldn't help but curse in his heart, "It's really a mud that can't support the wall, Guan Zhang is here, you can kill Liu Bei!" What's more, he's gaining momentum now. ’

However, now they pretend to rely on the pottery merchant, if they do not obey the order, I am afraid that it will be a bad thing.

He Shen was helpless, so he could only nod at those who were looking at him.

Then, I saw more than a dozen men in Tsing Yi jumping out and rushing towards Liu Bei without fear of death.
