There is a village in a bamboo forest five miles outside the east gate of Hubao City, the owner of this village is Tao Hongyang, the richest man in Hubao City, Tao Hongyang is over sixty years old, fat body, round face is clean and beardless, at this time he is wearing a blue coat lying on the bamboo chair in his back garden with his eyes closed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info a cool breeze came out, and Tao Hongyang shivered. Tao Hongyang sighed and said to himself while getting up beside him: "Hey, it seems that it is really an old man!", just when Tao Hongyang got up and was about to go back to the house, he suddenly stopped and was stunned, because two people suddenly appeared in the yard at some point.

Tao Hongyang saw through the moonlight that the two people were only about twenty years old, one of them had a purple gourd hanging from his waist, and the other was wearing a big robe full of patches and staring at him coldly.

Tao Hongyang went to various places to do business when he was a teenager, and he had seen strong winds and waves, so he was not nervous. The man in the patched robe stared at Tao Hongyang, who was stunned there, and asked directly: "You are Tao Hongyang, the richest man in Hubao City."

Tao Hongyang said with a smile: "Hehe, it's the old decay, but the richest man in the treasure protection city can't afford it?"

The man with the purple gourd on his waist couldn't help laughing when he heard it: "Money fans, don't you rich people like to cry poor!"

The man covered in patches blushed when he heard this and scolded: "Dead sour ghost, when will I be rich",

The person with the purple gourd on his waist smiled: "Look at it, I'm starting to cry again, isn't it?"

The man covered in patched clothes rubbed his hands and ignored it, and the person hanging the purple gourd looked at Tao Hongyang with straight eyes and said, "Let's arrest him back first!

The person who hung the purple gourd immediately became serious when he heard this, it turned out that these two people were Ji Zheng and Guo Song, who were ordered by Zhuang Qi to come and arrest Tao Hongyang.

Tao Hongyang watched the two of them walk towards him, shouting as he retreated.

Ji Zheng looked at Tao Hongyang and said with a smile: "Hehe, don't shout, those subordinates of yours have been solved by us, now you should follow us honestly! We will never hurt you", Ji Zheng just finished speaking, and suddenly frowned and Guo Song both stopped. Because Tao Meiying suddenly appeared in front of Tao Hongyang.

Ji Zheng looked at Tao Meiying, who suddenly appeared, and was stunned for a moment, and then said impatiently: "Where did you come from, wild girl, don't hurry up and get out of the way"

Tao Meiying looked at Ji Zheng and Guo Song and snorted coldly, Tao Hongyang was surprised and happy when he saw Tao Meiying: "Meiying"

Tao Meiying said: "Dad, you don't have to be afraid, I don't care about these two little thieves at all", Ji Zheng and Guo Song were shocked when they heard that Tao Hongyang and Tao Meiying were father and daughter.

Tao Meiying didn't care about Ji Zheng and Guo Song's surprised expressions and didn't say much to shoot directly, Guo Song saw Tao Meiying attacking and preparing to move forward, but Ji Zheng grabbed him and said: "Sour ghost, you go and do business, this little girl is handed over to me"

Ji Zhengyan waved his hands, and a Tai Chi water pattern appeared, directly meeting Tao Meiying. Tao Hongyang looked at Tao Meiying and Ji Zheng fighting in the courtyard with straight eyes, but forgot that there was another Guo Song, only to see Guo Song smile and grab Tao Hongyang, who was watching Tao Meiying and Ji Zheng fight intently, and said, "Hehe, outside the potter, let's go!"

When Tao Hongyang just reacted, he had already been restrained by Guo Song, and Guo Song did not hesitate to directly carry Tao Hongyang and leave. Tao Meiying was shocked when she saw Guo Song carrying Tao Hongyang, and wanted to save Tao Hongyang, but she was entangled by Ji Zheng and couldn't get out at all, and she couldn't help but feel anxious. Suddenly, with a "whoosh", a bat rushed out and flew directly towards Guo Song, Guo Song felt the danger and hurriedly put down Tao Hongyang and turned around to dodge. Guo Songding couldn't help but be secretly surprised when he saw a middle-aged man in his fifties blocking his way.

Tao Meiying looked at the middle-aged man and said happily: "Manager Gan"

When Guo Song heard Tao Meiying call the middle-aged man in charge, the middle-aged man was even more shocked, lowered his head and thought about it carefully, and did not fight with Gan Huaicang, and shouted directly at Ji Zheng: "Wealth fans, this place is not suitable for a long time, let's withdraw", and then turned around and disappeared.

Ji Zheng saw that Guo Song was leaving, and he didn't love to fight, so he forced Tao Meiying to retreat and said, "I won't play with you, I'll leave too", and then turned around and disappeared directly into the night.

Tao Meiying saw that Ji Zheng was about to chase after him, Gan Huaicang hurriedly stopped Tao Meiying and said: "Manager Tao, poor Kou Mo chases, let's take a look at the Tao Yuan first!"

Tao Meiying stopped and returned to the courtyard, and hurriedly ran to Tao Hongyang, who was lying on the bamboo chair, and shouted, "Dad"

Gan Huaicang said: "Manager Tao, the Tao staff only fainted temporarily, there is no big problem"

Tao Meiying relieved her heart and thanked Gan Huaicang: "Thanks to you today!

Gan Huaicang frowned and said, "I don't think those two people are ordinary bandits!"

Tao Meiying nodded, and then asked Gan Huaicang: "By the way, Mr. Gan, why are you here, has the identity of that person been found today?"

Gan Huaicang said: "Today Mr. Situ was arrested, and now there is some confusion in the city, I am worried that those people will take advantage of the chaos to attack the potter, so I didn't dare to delay and immediately led people over, what I didn't expect was to meet them, as for the person who died today is called Kang Wu, originally a rich son, because of his gambling habits, all the family business left by his ancestors was ruined, and he also owed a lot of foreign debts. Today he suddenly became rich, and it is said that someone asked him to deliver a letter and gave him a lot of deposits in advance. ”

Tao Meiying thought about it carefully and said, "I didn't find out that he had a letter on him at that time."

Gan Huaicang came to his senses when he heard it: "Then he must have been killed after delivering the letter."

Tao Meiying gritted her teeth and said: "Those people are really hateful"

Gan Huaicang said: "Anyway, we must not relax our vigilance before this matter is concluded", Tao Meiying nodded.

Mr. Gan then said: "By the way, by the way, I have to introduce someone to you."

As soon as Gan Huaicang's words fell, he saw a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl wearing a yellow gauze dress walk in, and Gan Huaicang introduced: "Manager Tao, this is Manager Mei, and now she is responsible for protecting your family."

After Gan Huaicang's introduction, Manager Mei and Tao Meiying nodded with a smile to each other, and Tao Meiying looked at the smiling girl and suddenly felt an indescribable sense of intimacy in her heart.

The atmosphere in the Treasure Guarding Hall in the Treasure Guarding City was extremely depressing, I saw Tao Meiying keep her head down and think a little, Gan Huaicang closed her eyes and shook her head, Guang Wenli was sitting expressionless and solemn, and the two of them sat there with gloomy faces.

Zhuang Qi hurriedly continued: "Lord City Lord, my subordinates think that this matter must be related."

Guo Ruyi nodded and asked Gan Huaicang, who was closing his eyes and shaking his head, "Manager Gan, what do you think?"

Gan Huaicang didn't want to speak, but he didn't expect Guo Ruyi to ask himself, so he said: "The city lord is ashamed to say it, and his subordinates are stupid and can't see it."

Guo Ruyi looked at Gan Huaicang's appearance of not caring about himself, although he was unhappy in his heart, but it was not good to have a seizure, so he said softly "oh" and said: "Oh"

Guo Ruyi waited for a long time and didn't see the five chief managers in the hall cough dryly without speaking, and Zhuang Qi said: "Lord of the city, Mr. Situ was kidnapped in the city in broad daylight, and there are also people who kidnapped potters. If we don't solve the problem quickly, I'm afraid there will be trouble."

The four directors in the Treasure Guard Hall nodded one after another.

Zuo Qianming said: "Lord of the city, my subordinates think that they are going to use the treasure protection order."

As soon as Zuo Qianming finished speaking, Tao Meiying, Gan Huaicang, and Guang Wenli's faces changed greatly.

Guang Wenli suddenly stood up and shouted: "Manager Zuo, the treasure protection order is very important, how can it be easily activated!"

Zuo Qianming said coldly: "Manager Guang, I think the purpose of them kidnapping Mr. Situ and kidnapping the potters is to cause everyone in the city to be in danger. If we don't use the treasure protection order, what good way do you say?", Gan Huaicang suddenly snorted coldly and stopped talking.

Zhuang Qi said expressionlessly: "City Lord, my subordinates think that at this time, whoever wants to oppose the use of the treasure protection order will be the enemy of our treasure protection city."

Guang Wenli was so angry that his face was pale and he was about to have a seizure, Guo Ruyi said lukewarmly: "Manager Guang, the city lord feels that what Manager Zuo said is reasonable", Guang Wenli sighed when he heard it, and sat directly on the chair.

Guo Ru stopped talking with a wide range of opinions, looked at Tao Meiying and Gan Huaicang and said with a smile: "I don't know what Mr. Gan and Mr. Tao mean!"

Gan Huaicang and Tao Meiying already understood at this time that Zuo Qianming and Zhuang Qi must have been instructed by Guo Ruyi, and they couldn't refute it for a while, so they only nodded and agreed.

Guo Ru reluctantly nodded in agreement with Tao Meiying and Gan Huaicang, and Guo Ruyi didn't care and said: "Since you don't object, this city lord announces that the treasure protection order will be activated tomorrow."

In the treasure protection city, the people were in an uproar when they saw the announcement that the treasure protection order was about to be launched, because the activation of the treasure protection order meant that anyone in the city could be requisitioned, anyone would be checked, anyone's property would be sealed, and they would have to leave their homes, and all of them would go into the camp of the internal guard army and live until the treasure protection order was lifted. Outsiders in the Treasure Guard City are not allowed to go out of the city, and they are concentrated in handing over all their property and imprisoned in the patrol camp, and colleagues are forbidden to enter the Treasure Guard City. The streets of Treasure City will be filled with only the Inner Guard, patrolling and prisoners taken to prisons, as well as stray wild cats and wild dogs.
