Soldiers come to the world

Liu Jing had heard about Huang She's attacks on the Tao family, and this was within his expectations. The Huang family had nothing to do with themselves, but they could clean up the Tao family who paid for it. effective way.

But Liu Jing did not expect that Liu Biao actually wrote a letter asking Tao Zhan to be Liu Cong's concubine, which made Liu Jing feel an unbearable anger.

He believes that Liu Biao is fully aware of his relationship with Tao Zhan, but he wants to take the woman he loves away and give him that useless son. Is he humiliating himself?

Liu Jing forced himself to calm down. He believed that Liu Biao would not rape Tao Zhan because he spoiled his son.

At this time, Xu Shu who was standing next to him said, "Young Master Jing, I'm afraid Zhou Mu is still because of you."

With Tao Sheng standing beside him, Xu Shu's words couldn't be too clear, but with Xu Shu's quick dial, Liu Jing suddenly understood that Liu Biao was not for his son, but for himself.

He wanted to control himself through money and food. Liu Biao didn't want the Tao family to be his money and food backing to prevent him from becoming independent, so he used the method of demanding Tao Zhan to sever his relationship with the Tao family. After all, Liu Biao still had his bones So a little bit of distrust of myself.

In fact, Liu Biao, like Huang Zu, used the strategy of drawing salary from the bottom of the pot. They both realized the importance of the Tao family to him, but Liu Jing still had one thing that he didn't expect. It's about the side wind.

The key now is the attitude of the Tao family. Can Tao Sheng withstand Liu Biao's pressure?Liu Jing pondered for a moment, then asked Tao Sheng, "What is Patriarch going to do?"

Tao Sheng sighed, "My father promised Mr. Jing that within two years, he would not consider the marriage of the little girl. Just for this promise, my father took the little girl away. Naturally, I will not promise Zhou Mu."

Even though he said this, Tao Sheng's face was full of bitterness. If he could withstand the pressure, he would not come to Liu Jing for help. If Liu Biao was annoyed, the Tao family would be completely finished in Jingzhou. What my father worried about the most , or finally happened.

Liu Jing felt his embarrassment, so he smiled and said, "If Patriarch has any difficulties, just say it clearly."

"Ugh!"

Tao Sheng sighed and said: "To be honest, my lord, the Tao family has fallen into great chaos. At least half of the people in the clan are dissatisfied with me, thinking that I caused the Tao family's business route to be cut off. The young people asked Jiu Niang to go back to Chaisang immediately to explain Huang Yong's matter clearly.

This is only because of the pressure from the Huang family. If we let them know that the state shepherd is also persecuting, the Tao family will become more chaotic. According to the clan rules, if more than [-]% of the clan members object, then the family hall can remove me as the head of the family in the ancestral hall. , At that time, I couldn't control the situation. "

Liu Jing paced the room slowly with his hands behind his back. Of course he knew how important the Tao family was to him. Although he still had a little money and food left, it could only last for half a year at most.

Frankly speaking, Liu Jing didn't want to rely on Jingzhou's money and grain, and even Huang Zu would do everything possible to intercept Jingzhou's money and grain and cut off his own logistics supplies, so he could only rely on the support of the Tao family and the Zhu family.

Now that the Tao family is in trouble, it is a poisonous scheme against him, how can he stand by and watch?

Liu Jing thought for a while, then smiled and said, "You can write to Zhou Mu that Jiuniang was kidnapped by Huang She on the way to Xiangyang, and ask Zhou Mu to ask Huang Zu to send someone to him."

Tao Sheng's face was a little pale. He was never a bold person, and he was famously cautious. If he was to deceive Liu Biao in this way, once Liu Biao knew about it, wouldn't it be a crime of deceiving the emperor?

After a moment of silence, Tao Sheng asked again: "This will affect Jiuniang's reputation. Do you have any other plans?"

Tao Sheng reminded Liu Jing with one sentence. Indeed, although the strategy is good, it will affect Tao Zhan's reputation. Everyone thinks that Tao Zhan was snatched by Huang She. What happened in the middle, I don't know what kind of rumors there will be.

Liu Jing nodded, agreeing with his concerns, "The Patriarch is right to remind you that this plan is inappropriate, so you don't have to think about it."

Liu Jing thought for a moment again, and said: "The only way to delay this matter is to tell the state shepherd that Jiuniang's mother has passed away, and she is currently observing filial piety. She will not talk about marriage within a year or two. Please ask the state shepherd to understand Jiuniang. filial piety for daughters."

Even Xu Shu beside him couldn't help clapping and applauding, "Master, this is a good reason. Zhou Mu has always boasted of filial piety. If he persists, he will slap himself in the face. He can't afford to lose this face."

Tao Sheng couldn't help but patted his forehead, he was really confused, he couldn't even think of this reason.

Liu Jing laughed again: "That's not enough, the owner has to tell Zhoumu in the letter that the military supplies that the Tao family transported to Xiangyang have been seized by Huang She, and the Tao family can no longer deliver money and food to Xiangyang, so we have to ask Zhou Mu for help! "

Xu Shu laughed loudly, "Master, I'm really convinced of you. This kind of strategy of fighting poison with poison can be figured out. Yes, it really is a clever plan. If Zhou Mu wants money and food, he has to solve the problem for the Tao family."

Liu Jing looked at Tao Sheng again, "Patriarch, how is it?"

Tao Sheng nodded silently, "You can say that."

Liu Jing saw that he still had a look of embarrassment on his face and was not happy to solve the problem, so he asked him again: "Is there any difficulty for the Patriarch?"

Tao Sheng shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "This is only a temporary solution to the state herd's crisis. What if the Huang family cut off the Tao family's business route? Even if the state herd puts pressure on him, he dare not seize the money and food we transported to Xiangyang. But what about other goods, what about the goods shipped from Xiangyang? The problem now is that the whole family is against me, Mr. Jing, once I am deposed as the head of the family, I am afraid that these measures will not be implemented."

Regarding Huang She's decision to cut off the Tao family's business route, Liu Jing had nothing to do for a while, but Liu Jing had a way to keep Tao Sheng's position as Patriarch. He thought for a while and said: "Let me think about this matter, I will try my best." Help the master."

． ． ． ． ． ． ． ．

Tao Sheng said goodbye and left, Xu Shu said with a smile: "Young Master doesn't want Tao Sheng to know about some things, right?"

Liu Jing smiled slightly, "Yuan Zhi knows my heart. After all, he is the head of the family and wants to protect the interests of the clan, so he may not agree with me to do some things. After I do it, it will be too late for him to object."

At this time, Zhu Xun, the county magistrate, walked into the room quickly, bowed and said: "See Sima!"

"Zhu Xiancheng, there is something I want to ask you about. How much do you know about the civil strife in the Tao family?"

． ． ． ． ． ． ． ．

In the east of Chaisang City, there is a tavern covering an area of ​​about five mu, called "Jingshuiju", which is very famous in Chaisang City, with a constant stream of customers all year round, and the business is booming.

At noon, Tao Qun slowly arrived at Jingshuiju Tavern as usual. He would come here for lunch every day, and he had formed a habit.

When I walked to the entrance of the tavern, I happened to meet my old friend Zhou Xin. Zhou Xin and Tao Qun had a very good personal relationship, and they could talk about everything. Sheng's incompetence and family chaos.

Unexpectedly, we met again today, Tao Qun cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Second brother, what a coincidence! We met again."

"Brother Tao, I have something to do with you, let's go upstairs and talk."

Seeing his serious face, Tao Qun nodded, and went upstairs with him. The two sat down. Zhou Xin took out a letter and handed it to Tao Qun, "Look at it!"

Seeing his mysterious face, Tao Qun couldn't help accepting the letter in doubt, and after only one glance at the letter, he stood up in surprise, it was actually a letter written by Huang Zu.

Zhou Xin pulled him down and said in a low voice, "Brother, don't make a fuss and stay calm."

Tao Qun opened the letter anxiously, and read it hastily. The letter was written simply, with only one content. As long as he led his clan to abolish Tao Sheng as the head of the family, Huang Zu would support him as the new head of the family and guarantee the interests of the Tao family.

Tao Qun was terrified when he saw it, and asked after a while, "How did you find me?"

"Of course Governor Huang knows the Tao family well. With the prestige of the family, you are the only one besides Tao Sheng. Do you think Governor Huang can't look for you?"

Tao Qun sat blankly for a long while before heaving a long sigh.

. . . . . . . . . .

Half an hour later, Tao Qun came out of the tavern. When he went in, he was leisurely, but when he came out, he was preoccupied. At this moment, a carriage passed by and stopped.

"Uncle Qun, am I looking for you everywhere?" Zhu Xun showed a sincere smile on the car window.

The Tao and Zhu families have been married for generations, and their relationship is very close. Of course, Tao Qun is very familiar with Zhu Xun. Zhu Xun is the county magistrate, and they often communicate with each other. Normally, Tao Qun would greet him with a smile, but today he is not in the mood.

"Nephew, what's the matter?"

Zhu Xun took out a red cloth bag, smiled mysteriously and said, "I got the piece of Shang jade that Uncle Qun has always wanted."

Tao Qun's biggest hobby is collecting beautiful jade. He can be called a jade idiot. He has collected hundreds of pieces of various beautiful jade, and often locks himself in his room all night to savor them carefully.

A few days ago, someone wanted to sell a piece of merchant jade, but it happened to be a war. When Tao Qun got the news and came, the jade seller had already left Chaisang, which made Tao Qun regret it for a long time. It was a rare merchant. Jade!

At this moment, Tao Qun was overjoyed, he didn't care about what Huang Zu had brought to him, he opened the door and got into the carriage, impatiently said: "Nephew, show me the jade!"

At this moment, a man in black suddenly appeared behind Tao Qun, strangled him by the neck with his arms, just as Tao Qun was about to shout instinctively, a ball of rags was accurately stuffed into his mouth.

'Woooo-'

Zhu Xun gave him a cold look, quickly closed the curtain, the carriage started quickly, and drove towards the military camp in the south.

. . . . . . . . .

With a stagger, Tao Qun was pushed into a room. The room was empty and brightly lit. There was only a single couch. The couch was a young general. It was Liu Jing, the owner of Chaisang, who was behind him and On both sides, stood more than a dozen shirtless men.

Tao Qun was extremely surprised, but at the same time extremely disturbed, he quickly knelt down and bowed, "Xiaomin Tao Qun, pay my respects to Liu Sima."

Liu Jing ignored him, and ordered coldly: "Come in!"

A ten-year-old young man pushed in outside. He was handsome and unrestrained. He was Tao Bing, Tao Qun's beloved youngest son.

The father and son did not expect to meet here, they looked at each other, at this moment Liu Jing sternly shouted: "Hit me to death!"

A big shirtless man knocked Tao Bing down with a punch, and several vicious thugs rushed forward, punching and kicking Tao Bing.
