into the night.

Although the rain has become lighter, it is still falling.

Of course the people in Youzhou City didn't go out in such weather.

There was no other sound in the streets except the sound of rain. Even the beggars were hiding in some dilapidated house or under the bridge on such a rainy day.

But suddenly,

There was the sound of horse hooves in the streets.

It was sparse at first, but soon the sound of horses' hooves seemed to gather in one place, and then became more rapid.

Someone looked out curiously through the door crack or window lattice, and saw a group of dark cavalry galloping through the streets under the dim light!

What happened again?
This team was the five hundred cavalry that the regent brought with him when he entered Youzhou City.

On such a rainy night, the cavalry who were originally scattered in various inns suddenly gathered together and suddenly made such a move...

Something big might have happened in Youzhou City!
This kind of thing also alarmed Tao Conglin of Tao Mansion.

"master,"

An old housekeeper stood in front of Tao Conglin and bowed: "It is indeed the cavalry that the regent brought when he entered Kyoto, but there were originally some female soldiers, but those female soldiers did not show up..."

Tao Conglin frowned, he had received news about what happened in Youzhou Academy today.

Leng Linlin, the leader of the Youzhou branch of the Daqi Gang, hid in Old Master Zeng's room at Youzhou Academy. He was the one who told Tian Xiurong this news.

Magistrate Tian is a decisive person.

Without any hesitation, he sent General Tian Xiu Guitian to lead his troops to Youzhou Academy.

Just in case, Magistrate Tian also invited Taoist Priest Qingyun to go with him.

It's just that Tao Conglin never expected that Bai Xiaotian who left him would also go to Youzhou Academy!
What Tao Conglin didn't expect was that the regent found out about this foolproof move!

The regent actually sent his experts to rescue Bai Xiaotian and Leng Linlin.

There is only one reason -

That means the regent knew about the private sale of official salt in Youzhou!
Not only did he arrest the salt officer of Youzhou, he also wanted to know more things from Bai Xiaotian and Leng Linlin!

Fortunately, Bai Xiaotian and Leng Linlin are both dead!

Then the officialdom of Youzhou will inevitably be in turmoil, and Magistrate Tian... I'm afraid he will be unlucky.

Magistrate Tian is unlucky, and this Tao family will never fail!

Where should Tao go from here?
Tao Conglin was also thinking about this issue when he received the news from Youzhou Academy, and quickly made a decision——

run!
We have to leave Youzhou!

Leave the Northern Desert!

Leave Ningguo!

But what he never expected was that the city defense, which was originally controlled by the soldiers, would actually fall into the hands of the regent!
He witnessed Tian Xiugui breaking through the barrier and being mercilessly killed by the army named Ning Wuzu!
Even Tian Xiugui died at the city gate.

On the contrary, Master Wen took a total of more than ten carriages and horses with the family members of Magistrate Tian and fled back to the city... But Ning Wuzu did not pursue him!
Because it doesn’t matter whether you chase or not.

This Youzhou City has become a pot.

The Prince Regent is sitting next to the pot!

What's stewing in the pot is a pot of dog meat. He can eat whatever piece he wants!
He can eat whenever he wants!

Not one can escape!
Tao Conglin was thinking hard about countermeasures in his study, but he didn't expect that the Xuanjia battalion in the city would move again at this time——

The city gate is guarded by Ningwu soldiers.

Xuanjia Camp chose this moment to move...

He stood up, his eyes quite flustered.

He looked at the rain in the night, "It seems that the regent has begun to close the net!"

The old housekeeper hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice: "Master, what should I do?"

"What else can I do?"

"I think Shopkeeper Zhang, Boss Qian, and Mr. Sun are all Youzhou salt merchants. They are all engaged in the private sale of official salt, and all they earn is the money from this private salt..."

"They must be panicking at this time!"

"Take my name and send someone to invite all the salt merchants in Youzhou City."

"We have to think of a way quickly... If the regent strikes now, the first blow will definitely fall on the heads of those officials."

"If we can't find a way..."

Tao Conglin raised his head and sighed: "Then everyone will die!"

"According to the laws of the Ning Kingdom... it is inevitable to confiscate the family and exterminate the clan... the female relatives in the family will definitely be transferred to the Jiaofangsi, and the young men in the family will be sent to the army thousands of miles away. This is considered the best!"

"Go quickly and buy more arsenic at Changchun Medical Center!"

The old housekeeper was startled, "...arsenic?"

Tao Conglin nodded: "Rather than go to Jiaofangsi and become a prostitute, rather than go to the bitter cold wilderness and become a cow and horse... it is better to commit suicide!" "...Okay!"

The old housekeeper bowed and retreated.

Tao Conglin looked at the dark rainy night and pondered for a moment, then walked out of the study and went to the main room in the east courtyard.

No matter what, the Tao family has to leave a seed to inherit this huge family business!
……

……

at the same time.

Tian Xiurong also made his decision in the backyard of the government office.

"There's no point in crying!"

Looking at his three wives and concubines, looking at his two useless sons and daughter-in-law, looking at the two little grandchildren held by the two daughters-in-law, Tian Xiurong sighed in his heart and said seriously:

"How many people are there in our Lao Tian family? Do you think the regent can't find out?"

"Master, don't you know what crime I have committed?"

"You usually spend your money happily, but now... this retribution has arrived."

"Everyone's trip to this world was not in vain. Although it was short-lived, the blessings you have enjoyed are more than others have ever enjoyed in several lifetimes!"

"So, instead of dying in prison, or becoming a plaything of the men in the Jiaofang Division... I don't want to see it, sir."

"Master Wen!"

Master Wen stood nervously behind Tian Xiurong. When he heard this, he knew that the last moment had come.

He quickly bowed and said, "The villain is here!"

"Have someone bring the tea. Sir, I, my wife, my son and my daughter-in-law... will have a final cup of reunion tea together... It is worthy of our acquaintance in this world!"

"Little man obeys!"

Master Wen retreated, and the sound of howling ghosts and wolves suddenly sounded in the room:
"Master, master... I don't want to die!"

"Master, I have only been in this house for less than a month. I died unjustly..."

"Master, please let us live! We can go on our own without even a tael of silver..."

"Dad, let's go fight that dog Regent!"

"Dad, you love the baby the most, why don't you... let the baby take some soft things and go out for a while?"

"..."

Master Wen shook his head and sighed.

After a while, he walked in with several guards and more than a dozen cups of tea.

Tian Xiurong seemed to have aged 20 years at this moment!
Two lines of tears finally flowed from his eyes.

It’s not that I regret for this moment, but that I regret that I didn’t prepare for the regent and didn’t make plans in advance!
"Master, I...have harmed you."

"You guys go ahead and wait for me by the Naihe Bridge. I'll be there soon..."

"Drink...Don't let me be embarrassed for the last time!"

Suddenly there was a loud cry:

"master……"

"father……"

Even the two five- and six-year-old children felt that something was wrong in the atmosphere at this time, and they burst into tears:
"grandfather……"

Tian Xiurong walked over and took his two grandchildren from the arms of his two wives.

"Grandpa is here, don't be afraid... hurry up, don't scare my grandson!"

"Drink!"

What can we do?

While weeping, his wives, concubines, sons, and daughter-in-law were forced by the guards to drink the highly poisonous tea!
Tian Xiurong burst into tears. He was about to leave this sad place with his two grandsons in his arms, when suddenly a guard ran quickly out of the rain:

"master……!"

"What's the matter?"

The guard pointed outward and said tremblingly:
"The regent...is here!"

Tian Xiurong was shocked. He let go of his hand and the two grandsons fell to the ground, crying "Wow!"

In the distance, Wang Zhenghaoxuan’s loud laughter came:

"Ha ha ha ha……!"

"Xiu Rong! Beating your child on a rainy day will really give you a lot of free time!"

"Let's go to Yuping Tower to find some beautiful girls to eat dog meat and drink flower wine!" (End of Chapter)
