It has been half a year since Liu Jing came to this era, and he has also experienced many disputes in the officialdom. Whether it is Cai Mao's conspiracy or Zhang Yun's open fight, they are more or less afraid of his status as the nephew of the state shepherd, and dare not do it. Too much.

It's not that Liu Jing relies on this identity, but that this has always been a bottom line of Jingzhou's officialdom, that is, Liu Biao's power.

Under this bottom line, someone could use Cao Cao's hand to kill him, and someone could use various contests to teach him a lesson, but none of them publicly clamored to kill himself like Huang Yong today.

And he did what he said, carrying two short halberds, charging forward, completely crushing Liu Biao's authority and the bottom line of Jingzhou's officialdom.

Of course, Huang Zu could use the excuse that his son was reckless and impulsive, that he was troubled by love, and that he was incapable of teaching his son himself, but none of this could explain the fact that Huang Yong searched Chaisang Wharf for three days.

It can only be said that Huang Zu had already guessed his mission in Jiangxia. In order to protect his own interests, he did not hesitate to ask his son to do it.

Huang Yong's horse was extremely fast, and he rushed dozens of steps away in a short time, and he could already see his appearance clearly.

Huang Yongnian is about 20 years old. He is not tall, only seven feet five, but his shoulders are broad and broad, his head is as big as a bucket, and his hair is loose. He looks like a skinny lion tortured by hunger. Small and slightly misshapen.

Huang Yong just heard that the steward of the Tao family took two boats to the east, so he immediately guessed that they were going to the old wharf of the Tao family. No other boats went there. Why did these two boats go? Liu Jing is here?

With vengeful anger burning in his chest, he led his troops to kill desperately.

Of course Huang Yong wanted to avenge his elder brother, but more importantly, his elder brother told him that Tao Zhan had fallen in love with Liu Jing, and he saw the two of them sitting on the same bed with his own eyes.

This news was enough to drive Huang Yong crazy. He had long regarded Tao Zhan as his woman, and no one would want to get involved, not even Liu Biao's son.

At this time, Huang Yong was staring at Liu Jing like a hungry lion, and from time to time his throat let out a low growl like a wild animal, his hands were holding the iron halberd tightly, and his whole body was trembling.

He suddenly shouted violently: "Liu Jing, get out of the boat!"

But Liu Jing ignored him, but sneered disdainfully.

He also heard that Huang Yong's martial arts are far superior to his elder brother Huang She's. He is a famous general in Jiang Xia's army, but he has a bad temper and strikes when his words don't match. His strikes are cruel and merciless. countless.

He could tell from this point that Huang Yong was holding two iron halberds, which were the same weapons as Dian Wei and Gan Ning, and each iron halberd weighed at least thirty catties

Huang She's martial arts, Liu Jing has learned, is slightly higher than his own, so isn't Huang Yong's martial arts much higher than his own?

Although he knew that he was no match for this person, Liu Jing didn't panic. With his hands behind his back, he looked coldly at Huang Yong who was dozens of steps away.

Of course Liu Jing wouldn't get off the boat to fight Huang Yong, he didn't want to die in the hands of this idiot, but it was also impossible for him to run away.

He can only make a bet based on his judgment of the current situation.

Liu Jing couldn't believe that Huang Zu would let his son kill him. In that case, he and Liu Biao would not even be able to maintain the most basic relationship on the surface, and would face war directly, and the Jiangdong Army would be on the sidelines.

However, Huang Zu had a feud with Jiang Dong, and it was impossible for him to surrender to Jiang Dong. Huang Zu would not be so stupid as to put himself to death before the situation was clear.

If Huang Zu really wanted to kill himself, he didn't need his son to come forward at all, and ordered his subordinates to pretend to be prostitutes and kill him secretly on the river. Wouldn't that also clear his connection with Huang Zu?

But Huang Zu didn't send someone to intercept and kill him on the river, which means that he didn't want to quarrel with Liu Biao, he just planned to let his son teach him a lesson and give himself a blow.

So how did Huang Zu stop this stupid son in time?Isn't he afraid that his son will accidentally kill him?

Liu Jing has already discovered that there is a large ship moored not far away. He hadn't seen it just now, but now it appeared unknowingly. Liu Jing can conclude that Huang Zu must be on this ship.

With this discovery, Liu Jing simply let go. He stepped forward and shouted to the big boat: "Prefect Huang, is this how you treat guests?"

Everyone looked at the big ship, even Huang Yong was stunned, his eyes became puzzled, is his father on this ship?How could Liu Jing know?

At this time, the curtain on the boat was lifted, and a middle-aged man dressed in a brocade robe came out from the inside. His head was as big as a bucket and his face was like a pumpkin. It was Huang Zu, the prefect of Jiangxia.

He was a little embarrassed. He didn't expect Liu Jing to guess that he was on this ship, which made him feel very passive, because it showed that Liu Jing had already seen through his mind.

Huang Zu really didn't want his son to really kill Liu Jing. Now Liu Biao just let his nephew share Jiangxia with him. The struggle has not even started yet. A strong dragon may not be able to defeat a local snake?

It is still unknown who will win in the end. Huang Zu's greatest wish is to maintain the status quo. He can not only get Liu Biao's money and food support, but also enjoy the benefits of the army's self-reliance. Why not do it?

Just like this, Huang Zu didn't want to break skin with Liu Biao, at least he wouldn't do it until the last moment.

He just wanted to teach Liu Jing a lesson, to give Liu Jing a bad start, but Huang Zu was worried that his son's subordinates were insignificant, so if he really killed Liu Jing, it would be bad.

So Huang Zu also rushed to Tao's old wharf and hid in the boat, waiting for his son to humiliate Liu Jing enough, he came out to stop him, but unexpectedly, Liu Jing guessed that he was on the boat.

Huang Zu laughed dryly, cupped his hands and said: "I heard that Mr. Jing is here, I was afraid that the dog would be rude, so I came here specially, and Mr. Jing was surprised."

Liu Jing smiled faintly, "Thank you, Prefect Huang, for your concern. It's just that I can't disembark now, and I'm unarmed and fighting with your son. What do you think I should do? Prefect Huang——"

Huang Zu stared and scolded Huang Yong, "Bastard, if I don't pay attention, you will cause me a catastrophe, get out of here!"

Huang Yong was furious in his heart, but he was scolded by his father again. He hated so much that his teeth were about to be bitten off. The jealousy in his heart made him crazy and finally lost his mind. He threw a short halberd viciously at Liu Jing, "go to hell!"

But Liu Jing remained motionless, squinting at the flying short halberd, he could see that Huang Yong was impatient, and his shot was slightly off.

He snorted coldly, and the short halberd pierced past his ear, and was heavily inserted into the mast, causing the surrounding people to scream.

Even Huang Zu was so frightened that his heart jumped out of his chest, and he became angry from embarrassment. His son actually slapped him in public, and he shouted, "Nizi, kneel down!"

Huang Yong ignored his father, and gave Liu Jing a vicious look, "Boy, you are lucky!"

He turned the horse's head and galloped away, Huang Zu was so angry that he almost vomited blood, Liu Jing smiled slightly, "Prefect Huang, don't be angry, every family has a difficult scripture to recite, sometimes the state shepherd also has a headache for Mr. Cong."

Huang Zu sighed, "There is a rebellious son in my family, and life is unfortunate. If I hadn't come in time, I am afraid that this idiot will cause me a big disaster. I will teach him a good lesson when I go back, and let him apologize to the young master."

"Huang Taishou is serious. I can understand your son's mood. Young people! It's normal to be crazy about love, and it will be fine after this age."

Huang Zu was speechless for a long time, he wanted to excuse himself, but Liu Jing took the initiative to excuse him instead, he didn't accuse him of perverting his son to commit murder, and he didn't want to sue Zhou Mu angrily.

Looking at Liu Jing's smiling face, Huang Zu felt nervous. He knew that he had met a formidable opponent. He originally wanted to give Liu Jing a blow, but now it seems that Liu Jing gave himself a blow.

. . . . . . . . . . . .

The Tao family mansion is located in the northwest corner of Chaisang City, next to the Caohe River leading to the Yangtze River. It is a mansion covering an area of ​​[-] mu, even twice the size of the county government. This is Liu Biao's acquiescence. The identity, politically can also enjoy the beauty of the big house.

The Tao House not only occupies a huge area, but is also a castle-like mansion, surrounded by a moat, with a strong and tall courtyard wall, on which the guards can walk, and close to a suspension bridge to communicate with the outside world, just like a city within a city.

In order to win over the Tao family, Liu Biao even gave Tao Zhai a special power, which is to allow the Tao family to have a trilogy of 500 people, and to use crossbows and long weapons publicly.

In fact, this is also a beneficial privilege. It has long been an open secret that wealthy families have private troops. Bows and long weapons are rampant among the people. The Tao family can only legally own tribes and use prohibited weapons. People can use this to make a fuss about the Tao family.

However, the Tao family has more than 500 private soldiers. The Tao company has more than 500 sailors and porters. Most of them are young and strong. For the tenant slaves in the manor, once a war broke out, the Tao family could quickly mobilize at least 3000 people to defend their homeland. This is why the Tao family wanted to buy [-] military slaves from Gan Ning at the beginning.

The Tao family has plenty of food and money, but the only thing they lack is people.

In addition, the Tao family still has a huge property in Jiangdong, which is unknown to Jingzhou people, so that Tao Sheng can become Sun Quan's guest. , Liu Biao showed a rather ambiguous attitude.

Although the family business is huge, the Tao family has always been relatively weak politically. Only one Tao family member served as the county captain of the public security. The daughter is his wife, and one of Tao Sheng's younger sisters is married to the Lu family, a rich family in Jiangdong.

At the same time, in addition to paying taxes, the Tao family has to give Liu Biao and the Jiangdong Sun family a large amount of money and food assistance every year, which makes the Tao family stand firm in the complicated situation in the south.

However, some anger and humiliation are unavoidable. For example, Huang Yong insulted the Tao family in every possible way in order to win Tao Zhan and injured the housekeeper of the Tao family. Zhang Yun framed the Tao family for profit. The birthday guests of the Tao family, etc., all showed the weakness of the Tao family as a businessman, and the Tao family had no choice but to endure.

In the back hall of the Tao family, the protagonist of this birthday, Mrs. Tao, was gathering with more than a dozen grandchildren and several great-grandchildren.

Mr. Tao’s name is Tao Lie, and he is about to be 70 years old. In the Three Kingdoms era, 70 years old was enough to be a rare old man. There were dozens of Chaisang, and most of them were dying. very good.

Tao Lie loves children very much, especially his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He spends nearly half of his time with them every day. Among the dozens of grandchildren and great-grandchildren, he has several children he loves the most. One of them is It was Tao Zhan, who was proud of having such a beautiful granddaughter.

It will be the old man's [-]th birthday in two days, and Tao Lie is also in a cheerful mood. What he cares most about is whether the guests are satisfied with their stay and whether they eat well. All the hostels were booked out, and the dozen or so taverns in Chaisang City were also converted to serve the Tao family.

In the back hall, Tao Sheng was paying his respects to his father, but Tao Lie seemed a little unhappy.

"I heard that the second son of the Huang family is causing trouble outside the city. Is there such a thing?"

This is a great-grandson who told him that Huang Yong searched the passenger ship on the pier, causing panic. Tao Zhan, who was sitting next to his grandfather, suddenly turned pale. Of course, she knew that Huang Yong was searching Liu Jing because of herself. She specially arranged for the chief steward to pick up Liu Jing, but she didn't know if she had received it. She became a little worried, and at the same time felt deep resentment towards Huang Yong.

Tao Sheng glanced at his daughter quickly, bowed and said, "Report to father, there is indeed such a thing, we have been negotiating with Huang Zu continuously, and I heard that just now, we have already withdrawn."

Tao Zhan was taken aback, could it be that Liu Jing came?That's why Huang Yong withdrew. Did something happen to Liu Jing?A series of questions made her more anxious, and she wished she could run to the pier. Tao Zhan felt restless and wanted to find an excuse to leave.

Sensing his granddaughter's uneasiness, Mr. Tao asked strangely, "Jiu Niang, are you feeling well?"

"Reporting to grandfather, granddaughter is a little dizzy and wants to go back to her room to rest."

"Well! Then go."

Tao Zhan got up to salute his grandfather and father, and then hurried away. Watching his granddaughter go away, Mr. Tao said to Tao Sheng: "This time, there are many distinguished guests, not only the second son of Zhou Mu, Mr. Cong, but also Mr. The Cai, Cai, and Pang families all have nephews and nephews coming to celebrate their birthdays, so they must come and return satisfied, not just as a birthday, but use this opportunity to expand the influence of the Tao family, understand?"

Tao Sheng bowed and saluted, "My child understands, please rest assured, father!"

"I don't want to worry about it! But there are some things I'm afraid you don't understand yet." Tao Lie sighed lowly, unless he died, how could he not worry about his family.
