Snowflakes began to fall unknowingly in the sky again. Mi Fang's mourning hall was quiet. All the servants who accompanied the mourner were driven out of the mourning hall by Mi Zhu. In the mourning hall of Rang Nuo Da, only Mi Zhu was left kneeling alone.

In front of Mi Fang's memorial tablet, he was in a daze facing Mi Fang's memorial tablet and coffin. In front of Mi Zhu, there was a white scroll with a line written on it - Tao Ying, the second son of Tao Qian, who sent the letter to the Guijun camp.

also!

I don't know how much time passed in silence, but suddenly there was a loud noise from the direction of the door, and faint yelling could be heard. If it were normal, Mi Zhu would have got up and gone out to check the situation, not to mention that it is still a sensitive period.

?But Mi Zhu remained motionless, not even blinking an eyelid. He just stared at his brother's memorial tablet indifferently, turning a deaf ear to the noises and curses.

A group of heavily armed soldiers and diners rushed into the mourning hall and loudly shouted to Mi Zhu: "Master, the three Liu Bei brothers who killed the second master are here. They are hypocritical and want to pay their respects to the second master. The soldiers guarding the door do not allow them to enter.

The ring-eyed thief who killed the second master also beat others, which is simply too much bullying! Please say something to the eldest master, and the young men will go and kill the three ungrateful dog brothers!"

Mi Zhu still didn't move. After a long time, Mi Zhu said in a hoarse voice: "Let them come in."

"Master, they are the murderers of the second master!" A large group of diners with a background of rangers roared, "For more than half a year, the big-eared thieves and ring-eyed thieves have been eating and drinking from us.

, how many horses, money and food were taken from you, the eldest master, and in the end, you killed the second master! You are so ungrateful..."

"Let them in!" Mi Zhu suddenly raised his voice and shouted angrily: "I said, let them in, no offense."

Seeing that Mi Zhu was angry, a large group of soldiers and diners had no choice but to retreat obediently and went to the gate to deliver the order. The three brothers of Uncle Liu, who were kind and righteous, strode forward in the eyes of the large group of soldiers of the Mi family.

In front of the mourning hall where Mi Fang's coffin was parked. Seeing that Mi Zhu was the only one in the mourning hall, Liu Huangshu ordered Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to wait in front of the mourning hall, while he strode into the mourning hall, placed the sacrifices he had brought with him, and personally

After drinking a libation, they knelt on the ground to apologize to Mi Fang. Guan and Zhang guarded the door with swords, not allowing anyone to enter the hall without permission.

After finishing his nonsense apology that he was forced to kill his friend for the sake of national justice, Emperor Liu finally turned his gaze to Mi Zhu, who had always been silent, and said in a low voice: "Zizhong, whether you understand what happened today or not, I don't care.

Whether you forgive Yu Bei or not, Bei will tell you something - Tao Ying is the one who killed Zi Fang! Bei was forced to do nothing by the trick. In order to save Zizhong you, he ordered his third brother to kill Zifang.

!”

Speaking of this, Uncle Liu paused for a moment, then gritted his teeth and whispered: "Being guilty will lead to death, but Zizhong can rest assured. Bei swears in front of this son Fang Ling that one day he will make Tao Ying's son eat meat."

Exterminate the clan to avenge Zifang! Repay the kindness and righteousness that sir and brothers have shown to Bei!"

Mi Zhu remained motionless and silent. Uncle Liu waited for a long time without seeing Mi Zhu's reply. Two lines of tears flowed out of his eyes. He choked and said: "Zizhong, don't you want to forgive Bei's sincerity and humility? Can't you understand Bei's helplessness and hardship?"

Is that true? If that is the case, Bei will commit suicide today in front of Zifang's spirit to repay Zizhong and Zifang for their sincere loyalty to Bei."

Before he finished speaking, our Uncle Liu was already crying so much that his sleeves were stained with tears, and his clothes were wet. His tear glands secreted abundantly, which was ten times better than that of Deputy Director Tao who had become a monk in the middle of the road. Although our Deputy Director Tao's acting skills were superb, he was still in his twenties.

In the first century, I really didn’t have much practice crying in front of others, so in terms of crying scenes, our Deputy Director Tao really couldn’t catch up with Uncle Liu Huang.

Uncle Liu Huang cried for more than ten or twenty minutes before Mi Zhu finally spoke and said with difficulty in a hoarse voice: "Mr.

Well, that's it. I have already made a plan. After burying Zifang, I will lead my family back to the East China Sea and become an idle person and never care about worldly affairs again."

"Zizhong, how can you say such a thing?" Xuande Gong cried: "The hatred of killing my brother is irreconcilable. How can you, Zizhong, let it go? Besides, Tao Ying's son is as cruel as a wolf and as poisonous as a viper, how can you do that?"

Ignoring the past grudges? If the prince gives up his power and goes into seclusion, if he is harmed by a villain, wouldn't he be guilty of another crime?"

"Xuan De Gong, you don't need to persuade me. I have already made up my mind." Mi Zhu shook his head and pointed at the scroll in front of him and said, "Besides, Zifang's death was caused by his reckless behavior and he brought the blame on himself. He cannot blame anyone. Besides, Tao

When Ying Xiaoer returned this book, he ordered someone to send a message and said four words - the old debt has been cleared."

Xuande Gong cried and picked up the scroll. He recognized that the handwriting on it was Mi Fang's own handwriting. He also knew that this must be the secret letter that Mi Fang sent to Cao Jun on his order. He also understood that this must be Boss Cao's attempt to sow discord between himself and Tao.

Qian turned his face and deliberately handed it back to Tao Ying. He secretly scolded Mi Fang for being stupid for writing this secret letter by hand. Xuande Gong inevitably broke out in a cold sweat again - Tao Ying, son, how can he tolerate such a big thing to this day? The city is so deep.

horrible!

"Xuan De Gong, today in front of you and your second brother's spiritual throne, I must say something sincerely." Mi Zhu said in a hoarse voice: "Since the Yellow Turban, the world has been in chaos. Mi Zhu's family has billions of dollars. In this troubled world, there is no one."

Unlike a lamb sleeping soundly next to a tiger or a wolf, or a child walking around in the wild market with a beautiful jade, Mi Zhu was not allowed to serve Tao Qian, not to seek power, but to protect himself. However, although Tao Qian was virtuous and majestic, he was already old. Let me look at it again

Both of Tao Qian's two sons felt that they were not the masters of the defense, and they couldn't help but have the idea of ​​​​looking for rare things to live in like the Lu family of Qin in the past. Therefore, after I got acquainted with Xuande Gong, I was quickly impressed by Xuande Gong's talent, strategy and heroic spirit.

He voluntarily committed an act of betrayal and ungratefulness..."

"However, Mi Zhu was wrong, and very wrong." Mi Zhu's voice became even hoarse, and he said to himself in frustration: "After betraying his master, Mi Zhu realized that he was wrong, and he also discovered that Mr. Tao Ying

His talent, strategy, wisdom and wisdom were even better than those of Xuande Gong, but Mi Zhu could no longer turn back and had no choice but to go further and further down the wrong path of rebelling against his master, which ultimately led to Zifang's death..."

Speaking of this, Mi Zhu smiled miserably, took the scroll from Emperor Liu's hand, and said in a hoarse voice: "Just now, when I saw this scroll and listened to the words brought by Mr. Tao Ying, Mi Zhu understood what he was doing.

Wrong again. With Master Tao Ying's magnanimity and great talents, if Mi Zhu turned around before, Master Tao Ying would definitely open his arms to accept Mi Zhu again. It was Mi Zhu who saved the gentleman's heart with a villain's heart.

, it is his own fault, he killed his own brother with his own hands."

Mumbling to himself, Mi Zhu put the scroll into the burning charcoal plate, stared at the joyful flames on the scroll, and said slowly: "So, I have made up my mind, and I am determined not to be involved in any disputes in this life."

Now that Xiong’s business is over, I can just be an obedient citizen under the rule of Master Tao Ying. I would also like to advise Mr. Xuande that he and Mr. Tao Ying are the best among men. It’s hard to distinguish between them in terms of talent, but Mr. Xuande has the upper hand.

If I continue to fight with you, I will definitely lose, so I also ask Xuande Gong to leave Xuzhou as soon as possible and make another good plan."

Mi Zhu murmured something, and Uncle Liu Huang burst into tears. By the time Mi Zhu finished speaking, Uncle Liu had almost wet his shoes with tears, and cried: "Zizhong, it's all Bei's incompetence that has put you in this predicament, but Bei

Again, Tao Ying is as ruthless as a jackal and as cruel as a snake and a scorpion. He is unwilling to harm you now because he is afraid that Zi Zhong, your tree is so big and deep in Xuzhou. He is afraid of shaking the foundation of Xuzhou, so he does not dare to harm you. But you have retired.

After that, Tao Ying'er will definitely try his best to weaken you. When you are no longer able to shake the foundation of Xuzhou, how can Tao Ying'er tolerate you? Even if Tao Ying'er can tolerate you, his minions and lackeys can't tolerate you either.

I won’t let you down.”

Uncle Liu Huang's words finally moved Mi Zhu. Considering Deputy Director Tao's forbearing character and cruel methods, Mi Zhu really couldn't guarantee that Tao Ying would not settle the scores in the future - and even if Master Tao Ying let Mi Zhu go in large numbers, Mi Zhu would be rich.

The enemy's property will undoubtedly become the coveted target of Tao Ying's lackeys! So Mi Zhu shook his head and sighed: "But what else can I do? The young master showed his sharpness, and Zang Ba returned with his army.

Not to mention Mi Zhu, who is already a commoner in the countryside, even Duke Xuande is no longer a match for the young master."

"Don't worry, Zizhong. I have already thought of a plan. I will definitely defeat Tao Ying's son and take his head off to pay tribute to Zifang." A cold light flashed in Liu Huangshu's eyes, and he first introduced Mi Zhu in a low voice what happened at tonight's banquet.

, especially when he instigated Tao Ying to form an alliance with Lu Bu, and also focused on Tao Ying's reaction and Tao Ying's evaluation.

Finally, Uncle Liu Huang finally whispered his true plan into Mi Zhu's ear, "Bei has decided that after returning to Xiaopei, he will immediately send an envoy to send tens of thousands of grains to Marquis Lu Wen, asking for an alliance to fight against Cao! Marquis Lu Wen is troubled by the food shortage.

I will definitely agree, and I will take the opportunity to persuade Lu Wenhou to take the initiative to ask Tao Ying to borrow food from the alliance. Lu Wenhou has indirectly helped Xuzhou, and he is greedy for money and food, so he will definitely agree!"

Speaking of this, Uncle Liu smiled slightly and said in a low voice: "By then, when Marquis Lu Wen's envoy arrives in Xuzhou, if Tao Ying bites the bullet and agrees to form an alliance, he will be seeking skin from a tiger. He will not be able to satisfy Marquis Lu Wen's appetite, and sooner or later he will be betrayed by Marquis Lu Wen.

Backlash! If Tao Ying's son refuses to form an alliance and refuses to repay Marquis Lu Wen with grain and rice, Marquis Lu Wen will be furious. Then after hearing what Tao Ying's son said about Marquis Lu Wen today, what will happen to Marquis Lu Wen who is insulted and urgently needs food and grass to tide over the famine?

Choice——Zizhong, can’t you imagine it?”

"What a cruel trick to drive away tigers and devour wolves!" Mi Zhu said with chills all over his body, thinking that Duke Xuande was really good. The poison of this strategy was comparable to that of Tao Ying's son who forced Duke Xuande to kill my brother.

No matter what Ying Xiaoer chooses, he will only fall into a trap and die without a burial place!

"Zizhong, in Bei's opinion, this plan can be accomplished by sending an eloquent person." Liu Huangshu said tentatively: "But if Zizhong can take up this position, he can go to Shanyang to negotiate with Marquis Wen.

, then the effect must be better, Zizhong can also take the opportunity to avenge Zifang, I wonder if Zizhong can...?"

"Evil thief! Evil thief! You evil thieves, how dare you come to my house? Give my brother his life back! Give my brother his life back!"

Suddenly, the cry of a young girl was heard, interrupting Uncle Liu Huang's instigation. Immediately afterwards, Mi Zhen, who was already crying like a cuckoo, stumbled to the front of the mourning hall, grabbed Zhang Fei, the executor of Mi Fang's murder, and cried uncontrollably.

While fighting and crying, they wanted to seek justice for their brother. It turned out that it was not until Mi Fang's body was returned to Mi's house today that poor Mi Zhen learned that one of her brothers had died. She fainted from crying on the spot and was beaten by the maid.

After the maid helped her back to the room, she finally woke up, and immediately heard the news that Mi Fang's murderer Zhang Fei had come to visit, so Mi Zhen didn't even have time to change into mourning clothes, so she immediately rushed here to settle the score with Zhang Fei.

Crying and shouting, Mi Zhen, who had always been gentle and quiet, seemed to have turned into a wounded tigress, pulling Zhang Fei and beating her with all her strength. Fortunately, Zhang Fei had already heard from her tone that she was Mi Zhu's sister.

So he ignored her and just carried it stiffly - anyway, with Mi Zhen's small fist and little strength, hitting Mr. Zhang on the body was almost the same as tickling Mr. Zhang.

At this time, Mi Zhu had already hurriedly walked out, grabbed his frantic sister, and shouted loudly: "Xian sister, stop it, your brother's death has nothing to do with General Zhang San, don't be rude!"

"Brother, are you crazy?" Mi Zhen cried and asked: "He was obviously the one who killed the second brother, how can you say it had nothing to do with him? Why haven't you avenged the second brother? Why haven't you killed him?"

"Shut up! The more you talk, the more outrageous it becomes!" Mi Zhu's face sank and he patiently explained: "Little sister, although your second brother was killed by this third general, there was a reason for the incident, and it was your second brother who was responsible for it.

, no wonder these three generals."

In order to appease the emotional Mi Zhen, Mi Zhu had no choice but to pull Mi Zhen into the mourning hall and tell the story of Mi Fang's murder in detail. Of course, Mi Zhu did not dare to tell Mi Fang the real purpose of poisoning Tao Qian. He only said that Tao Ying had repeatedly

After offending Mi Fang, Mi Fang was so angry that she bribed a doctor to poison Tao Qian. As a result, Tao Yingren stole the money and got the money. In order to uphold the laws of the Han Dynasty, Duke Xuande ordered Zhang Fei to behead Mi Fang.

To both Liu Bei and Mi Zhu's surprise, after listening to Mi Zhu's introduction of secretly respecting Liu and devaluing Tao, Mi Zhen's first reaction was disbelief, and she exclaimed with surprise on her face: "Brother, how is this possible? Two

How could the young master offend the second brother? How could he force others to kill the second brother?"

"How is it impossible?" Mi Zhu asked in confusion: "My second brother has always been very disgusted with the second young master Tao. The second young master Tao has also hated his second brother for a long time. Sister, don't you know?"

"But..., but..." Poor sister Mi Zhen was so surprised that she even forgot to cry for her brother, let alone being shy, and blurted out: "Brother, why did you go to the Tao Mansion to propose marriage to my little sister?"

Shall I marry Mr. Tao?"

"What?" Uncle Liu Huang's big ears suddenly stood up, and he almost began to suspect that Mi Zhu was a double agent.

"What?!" Mi Zhu was even more shocked than Mi Zhen, and asked in shock: "Who told you that I went to Tao Mansion to propose marriage, and planned to marry you to Tao Ying? Why didn't I know?"

"General Cao Bao's daughter, sister Cao Ling." Mi Zhen confessed truthfully, hesitated for a moment, lowered her head and said, "Also..., and also, the second young master also admitted it himself, and said that he would confirm it with his little sister soon...

, the wedding date has been confirmed.”

Mi Zhu was completely dumbfounded and hurriedly asked for details. Mi Zhen was a little shy at first and did not dare to speak openly, but Mi Zhu couldn't stand it anymore and shouted sharply and threatened Mi Zhen to kneel in front of Mi Fangling and confess to Tao Ying, her brother-killer's enemy, in front of Mi Fang's soul.

Mi Zhen was forced to have no choice but to know the truth, so she shyly told the truth. As a result, under the comparison of the two, the truth of all the facts, and the ugly face of Deputy Director Tao who deceived and played with a good girl,

It will be revealed to the world together.

After understanding the truth, Mi Zhu was so angry that he blew his beard, glared and cursed, and his hatred for Tao Ying, who bullied his sister and killed his brother, was renewed. Uncle Liu Huang, who was almost cuckolded, was not angry but happy, his eyes trembled rapidly, and he quickly figured out how to get something out of it.

The greatest benefit. Only poor girl Mi Zhen was dumbfounded. She stood there in disbelief for a long time. Suddenly, girl Mi Zhen screamed hysterically, covered her face with her hands and rushed out of the mourning hall, stumbling and disappearing into the snowy night.
