In a bedroom in the backyard of Xuzhou Prefectural Mufu, Tao Qian was lying on the hospital bed, his face pale, his originally plump cheeks exposed his high cheekbones, his eyes were sunken, and he was as angry as a gossamer. Tao Qian's eldest son, Tao Shang
Waiting on the side, Tao Shang is about thirty years old this year. He is fat and has narrow eyes. Because of Tao Qian's relationship, Tao Shang got an official position as the chief registrar in Xuzhou Prefectural Mufu, but Tao Shang did not want to do this.
He was not an official, but he liked doing business. The largest restaurant in Pengcheng, Shiliju, was opened by a pottery merchant. His weird behavior made Xuzhou aristocratic families sneer at the pottery merchant.
Tao Shang also had a younger brother named Tao Ying, who was originally very smart. However, during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Tao Shang and Tao Ying were hunted down by the Yellow Turban Army. In order to protect his brother Tao Shang, Tao Ying was knifed by the Yellow Turban Rebel Army.
, although he was later rescued, Tao Ying became an idiot. This is the eternal pain in Tao Qian's heart, and it is also Tao Shang's heartache.
The potter quietly looked at Tao Qian who was lying on the bed, with a trace of worry on his face. At this moment, a servant walked in quickly, came to the potter's side, and whispered: "Master,
Captain Diannong is here!" Upon hearing this, Tao Shang's eyes lit up, he stood up and walked straight out.
When I came to the study room where I usually receive guests, I saw Chen Deng, who was dressed in brocade clothes, admiring a calligraphy and painting on the wall of the study room. He said with a smile: "If Yuan Long likes this piece of "Nagato Fu", then I will give it to Yuan Long."
Dragon!" When Chen Deng turned around and saw that it was the pottery merchant, he smiled and cupped his hands and said: "A gentleman does not take away from others' favor. The eldest son placed this calligraphy and painting by Sima Xiangru in the study, which is enough to show that the eldest son is very special.
If you really like me, how can you let the eldest young master give up your love?"
Tao Shang smiled and asked Chen Deng to sit down. The maid came in and served a cup of tea and then retreated. Seeing that there was no one outside, Tao Shang quickly stepped forward, knelt down in front of Chen Deng and said in pain:
"Please Yuanlong save our Tao family!" Chen Deng was frightened by this sudden scene and hurriedly helped Tao Shang up and said: "Why should the eldest son be like this? How can Chen Deng be so virtuous and worthy of such a gift from the eldest son!
"
Tao Shang choked and said: "Yuanlong, although we don't have many friends, but I know that in Xuzhou, the only one who can help my Tao family is Yuanlong. Now that Cao Bao has military power, he may kill us at any time. In times of crisis,
At this time, I also hope that Yuan Long can lend a helping hand to save the life of my Tao family, I am very grateful!"
Chen Deng looked at Tao Shang. He knew the situation the Tao family was facing now. Tao Qian was a pillar of the Tao family. Once Tao Qian died, the Tao family would definitely suffer disaster. Chen Deng sighed and said: "Tonight
I came to the state capital just to show the way to the eldest son, so that I can fulfill my duty as a minister!" When Tao Shang heard this, his face suddenly became overjoyed, and he quickly stepped forward and held Chen Deng's hand, "Yuan
Long, please tell me, I will definitely do it!"
Chen Deng looked outside the study. The pottery merchant quickly stood up, walked to the window and said to a servant: "Send someone to guard ten steps away. No one is allowed to come in. If you violate it, I will kill you immediately!"
"The servant said solemnly outside: "No!" As he walked away, Tao Shang looked at Chen Deng. Chen Deng lowered his voice and said: "For the current plan, the eldest son, only by getting rid of Cao Bao can we protect Tao.
Home safe!”
"What?" Tao Shang said in shock, but when he saw the indifference on Chen Deng's face, he blushed and said, "Yuanlong, now that Cao Bao has the military power in Pengcheng, how can we compete with him!" Chen Deng shook his head.
Said: "Cao Bao is an incompetent person. He relied on his family background and flattery to achieve his current high position. The eldest son only needs to pretend to convey the Lord's order and let him enter the palace. When the time comes, he will arrange some swordsmen and axemen in the courtyard. This person can be eliminated.
!" After hearing what Chen Deng said, the pottery merchant was hesitant and couldn't make up his mind for a while!
Chen Deng sighed secretly. He didn't expect that Tao Gongzu, the first hero, would give birth to a puppy! He clasped his fists and said: "My eldest son, I will continue to suffer from his rebellion. We don't have much time to wait. If the lord dies, then Cao Bao will
But I don’t have any worries anymore! When the time comes, everyone will be a knife and I will be a fish, and the eldest son will be the sinner of the Tao family!"
When the pottery merchant heard this, a rush of blood surged into his heart, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Just follow what Yuan Long said!" Chen Deng saw that the pottery merchant had finally made up his mind, and he nodded with a smile.
Cao Bao's residence is located in a house in the southwest of Pengcheng County, covering an area of 100 acres, second only to the residence of Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou. Cao Bao's house has been very busy these days, and many gentry officials have come to ask for an audience, including members of the Cao family.
He also started to show off. The son of the Cao family was chatting with people outside the mansion today when he saw a horse running over quickly. When he saw it, he became furious and quickly called to the sergeant outside the mansion, preparing to kill the bold man.
When the guy took it down, the man on the horse shouted: "Lord Zhou Mu has an order, let General Cao go see him!"
When the man heard this, he murmured in his heart, isn't Tao Qian about to die? How can he still see my general? However, he didn't dare to ask more questions, and quickly led the people to see Cao Bao, who was in the room with his little one.
The concubine was raining heavily when he heard someone making a noise outside, and he immediately said angrily: "What the hell is going on? We'll talk about it tomorrow!" The person who came to deliver the order didn't dare to mess up the eldest son's affairs, so he had to bite the bullet and said: "Cao Cao
General, my lord just woke up and asked you to go and discuss something important, it must be a big deal!"
When Cao Bao heard this, he cursed in his mouth: "You old thing, you have so many things to do when you are about to die!" He climbed up from the concubine, smiled at the concubine with a resentful face and said: "You bitch, you
Wait for me to come back, master, and I will make you docile when I come back!" The concubine boldly pulled Cao Bao's private parts gently, and said with a sweet smile: "If you have the ability, you can make me docile now.
Posted!"
Cao Bao grabbed his concubine's breasts hard and said, "The old guy called me, it must be because of something important. How could I not go?" After saying this, he chuckled and said, "When the old guy dies,
This Xuzhou is mine. Then we will move to the old guy’s house. I heard that the old guy’s house has a lot of good things, especially the big bed. I heard that it was left by King Pengcheng.
It wouldn't be nice for you and me to do all those things on that bed!"
The concubine listened to what he said, chuckled, and said: "Master, can you do it?" Cao Bao's face darkened when the concubine said it: "Master, you will know if I can do it when I get back from that old man's house soon.
Done!" After saying that, he ignored the concubine and ordered the maid to come in and dress him. After a while, Cao Bao was dressed neatly by the maid and took dozens of guards to the Prefectural Shepherd's Mansion!
