The streets were empty, and every inn was inspected. Once the brutal soldiers saw a guest they didn't like, they would beat and scold them, or at worst, they would immediately take them to Cao Bao's house, leaving Cao Bao alone. For a time, everyone was in danger, and the suffering common people and merchants were in danger.
There were about a hundred people, and Mi Zhu led a group of officials to file a complaint against Cao Bao in the Prefectural Mufu Mansion.
When Jia Rong heard the news, he couldn't help but chuckle to himself. It seemed that the loss of his son had made Cao Bao completely angry, and it was just enough to delay the Mi family's evacuation for two days.
"I'm beginning to believe that you are Mr. Rong, not Jia Liang." Mi Huan said solemnly.
"Oh, why do you see it?" Jia Rong asked in confusion. Mi Huan has been following Jia Rong these past few days. In her words, Mi Zhu has entrusted his safety to Jia Rong and has to do this.
, Jia Rong is also happy that Mi Huan is a bit naughty, similar to the original Wei Fu, but she is an out-and-out beauty.
"Jia Liang, what a tacky name, and Mr. Rong, as soon as you hear it, you are a great person. Didn't someone call you Mr. Rong that day?" Mi Huan stared at Jia Rong and said, as if he was afraid of missing something.
Jia Rong chuckled and said: "Don't worry about it anymore, the name is just a code name. In today's troubled times, only strength can represent everything."
Mi Huan nodded in understanding, "Thank you."
"You're welcome, it's just a little effort." Jia Rong waved his hand.
"We will leave Xuzhou tonight. You should go back quickly and make preparations. Bring as little stuff as possible and just get more money."
Mi Huan's pretty face changed slightly, "Are you really leaving Xuzhou? Are you coming back? Where are you going to play?" There was nervousness and excitement in his tone. He has lived in Xuzhou since he was a child and is very familiar with the city. Mi Huan is also very familiar with the city.
There is no attraction at all, and the outside world is what he yearns for the most, such as the prosperous Chang'an, where there are many things that the Central Plains cannot see.
Jia Rong patted Mi Huan on the head and said with a smile: "Aren't you afraid that people from the Cao family will come looking for revenge and implicate the Mi family?"
Mi Huan turned pale and hurriedly stood up and left.
Before Jia Rong could leave, many soldiers came outside Mi Mansion. With an order, Mi Mansion was surrounded so tightly that not even a sparrow could fly out.
After hearing the news, Mi Zhu walked out of Mi Mansion, looked at the indifferent Cao Bao, and said coldly: "General Cao, what do you mean? He led troops to surround Biejia Mansion. Could it be that he is plotting something evil?"
Behind Mi Zhu were Qin Huang and other generals who were ordered to guard Mi Mansion. They stared at Cao Bao and others opposite without fear, their hands already on the ring-headed sword at their waists.
Cao Bao said: "My Cao family was assassinated by thieves last night. Now, under the order of Lord Zhou Mu, we are searching everywhere to catch the thieves. Please forgive me, Lord Mi. Cao has no choice but to deal with the conflict. If there are no thieves in your house,
Cao must apologize for his disappearance."
Mi Zhu snorted coldly: "My Mi family has lived in Xuzhou for generations and is loyal. How could we do such a thing? Please ask General Cao to take his people away."
Cao Bao took a step forward and said: "Master Mi, I haven't searched yet. How do you know that the murderer is not in Mi's house? According to reports, Miss Mi once had a conflict with her beloved son, and it happened that someone saved Miss Mi that time.
In the Mi Mansion, you are walking around in public, but is there such a thing?"
Mi Zhu's heart moved slightly. She didn't expect that Cao Bao would come to trouble Jia Rong this time. "It's true!"
"Search!" Cao Bao stopped talking nonsense and ordered.
The generals on both sides refused to give in, and the battle was imminent. Without Mi Zhu's order, how could Qin Huang let these people in.
"Let them search. If they don't find the murderer, they will definitely accuse you of slandering an official in front of Mr. Tao." Mi Zhu snorted coldly, knowing that this matter could not be solved.
When a large number of soldiers poured in, Jia Rong was lying on a chair humming a tune, holding a good wine in his hand, and placed a few side dishes on the table.
A servant walked up to Cao Bao's ear and whispered a few words softly.
"Take this man back to Cao Mansion for interrogation." Cao Bao pointed at Jia Rong and ordered.
Mi Zhu was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward: "General Cao, I wonder what fault this man has?"
"This person might be the murderer of my son, so we can't let him go." Cao Bao said without any doubt.
Two soldiers who wanted to please Cao Bao drew their swords and stepped forward.
Jia Rong sneered and said: "Is it possible that the officials in Xuzhou are all so overbearing? I have traveled all over the world, and this is the first time I have seen them today. If I see something that I don't like, I will say that they are murderers. It is the most ridiculous thing in the world."
"Don't try to use your words. Once you get to Cao Mansion, you can decide what is right and wrong." Cao Bao said.
Jia Rong smiled and said: "I want to leave, but Xuzhou can't stop me. How dare the little Cao family dare to be so presumptuous."
"How dare you talk nonsense in front of General Cao, so I have this man tied up." A general shouted.
The two soldiers received the exact order and stepped forward quickly, with ferocious looks on their faces.
Zhang Xiu and Zhao Fan flashed out from behind Jia Rong, grabbed the soldier's ring-headed sword with his bare hands, yanked and threw it away, and the two soldiers sat on the ground, their faces turning pale. Naturally, the strength used by Zhang Xiu and Zhao Fan was not small.
"Even if Tao Qian comes in person, there must be evidence when doing things. You can't just arrest him. What do you think, General Cao?" Jia Rong looked at Cao Bao and asked.
Cao Bao said angrily: "Whatever are you looking at? Go up and catch this man. He is the murderer."
The door of Mi Mansion slowly closed, and Mi Zhu couldn't help but feel numb when he saw the change in the situation. Cao Bao must have been extremely angry after losing his beloved son, and Jia Rong retorted unceremoniously, let alone at this juncture.
Normally, it would be extremely unwise to anger Cao Bao like this. I don't know what Jia Rong was thinking.
Qin Huang did not know when he appeared behind Mi Zhu, and the five hundred servants in the mansion also tightly surrounded the two hundred people led by Cao Bao. Their swords were unsheathed and they stared at Cao Bao and others with eager eyes.
Cao Bao was not aware of the change in the scene at all. He was the general of Xuzhou. In the entire Xuzhou city, no one dared to act recklessly. He expected that the person in front of him was just a newcomer from other places.
"General Cao doesn't need to be so angry. Just look behind you." Jia Rong said with a smile.
"What are you doing?" Cao Bao looked back, and his heart skipped a beat. Qin Huang led his soldiers to surround them heavily and shouted inwardly: "I am General Xuzhou, Qin Huang, do you know the consequences of doing this?"
Qin Huang said coldly: "I am here to protect the Mi Mansion. No matter who wants to break into the Mi Mansion, he or she will do so without Master Mi's consent. They will be killed without mercy. Please lead General Cao to take them away as soon as possible."
Cao Bao looked back at Mi Zhu, looked at the more than two hundred people around him, snorted coldly, glanced at Jia Rong unwillingly and said, "Don't be so arrogant!"
Jia Rong said with a smile: "General idiot, please go slowly. I won't send you far."
Cao Bao's body stagnated slightly and he strode outside Mi Mansion. As soon as he walked out of Mi Mansion, he ordered: "Go to the military camp in the city and mobilize a thousand soldiers."
After walking out of Mi Mansion, Cao Bao did not leave. Instead, he sat outside Mi Mansion with a golden sword, not allowing anyone to enter or exit. The archers aimed at the gate of Mi Mansion. As long as the reinforcements from the city arrived, it would be the time to attack Mi Mansion.
In recent times, the Mi family has been against the Cao family many times. This is also an opportunity to eradicate the Mi family. When Liu Bei takes charge of Xuzhou, it will no longer be difficult for him. The Cao family will also rise and become the largest family in Xuzhou, and Tao Qian will also
There won't be any unhappiness between Mi Zhu and Liu Bei. After all, Xuzhou officials have begun to move closer to Liu Bei during this period.
"General, I'm afraid there's something wrong with what you're doing. Cao Bao is the general of Xuzhou and is in charge of the troops in the army. I'm afraid he has already mobilized troops to come." Mi Zhu looked worried.
Jia Rong said nonchalantly: "I'm afraid the Cao family has long disliked the Mi family. Even if this incident hadn't happened, do you think they would let the Mi family go? Now the Mi family's property has basically moved away from Xuzhou, Zizhong
Brother, you’d better get out of here as soon as possible, don’t worry about me.”
Mi Zhu's expression changed slightly, and he cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, General, for reminding me."
"You and I have been brothers for many years, why are you so polite? We will leave together later." Jia Rong said.
Glancing at Qin Huang who was not far away, Mi Zhu had a troubled expression on her face: "General Qin is guarding the Mi family, isn't he going to be in trouble?"
"As long as he joins Liu Bei and uses his talents to get an official position, it will be easy. Liu Bei is not picky about hiring people at this time," Jia Rong said.
The sky gradually became dark, and fifteen hundred soldiers and horses had gathered outside Mi Mansion.
Jia Rong stood up, with a rare serious expression on his face, "It's time for us to leave."
Zhang Xiu blew a whistle, and under Qin Huang's surprised gaze, a dense crowd of men in black walked out of Mi's house, numbering three hundred. The latter did not show too much surprise when they knew Jia Rong's identity, but Qin Huang's
His face was surprisingly ugly. He was ordered to protect the Mi family, but so many men in black infiltrated the Mi family at some point. It was a slap in the face. And Cao Bao blatantly arrested some men in black in the city. He must have been with him.
Mi Mansion is inseparable from the relationship.
Mi Zhu whispered: "This time the Mi family is in trouble, and General Qin is implicated. After we leave, the general can go to Liu Bei. With his ability as a general, he will definitely be reused."
Qin Huang knelt down on one knee and said: "Master Mi has shown me the kindness of knowing me. I am humble enough to be willing to be by your side forever."
"General Qin, it is difficult for Mi Mansion to save itself. The right way is to keep useful bodies." Mi Zhu whispered in Qin Huang's ear. Qin Huang was promoted step by step from a hundred-man general to his current position by Mi Zhu.
Mi Huan was also dressed in a smart outfit, which made Jia Rong's eyes light up. The coarse clothes could not hide her curvy figure.
Mi Huan seemed to be aware of it, and said with a slightly red face: "It's very uncomfortable to wear a skirt when you go out."
"Brother Zizhong, let's go together so that we can take care of you."
Mi Zhu seemed not to notice Jia Rong's wretched expression, cupping his fists and saying, "That's exactly what I meant."
Jia Rong nodded to Zhang Xiu, who understood and led a hundred men in black to rush out of Mi Mansion.
Cao Bao's face showed a bright expression, and he was about to send people to rush into Mi Mansion when he saw a dense crowd of men in black walking out, the leader of whom he had just seen in Mi Mansion.
