After walking out of the gate of Yushitai, Tao Dayong turned around and looked at the dark door. While his heart palpitated, waves of anger surged into his heart.

Finally the idea came to his head.

I originally thought that because of my romantic relationship with Cui Ang, I would not be implicated in the rebellion of King Jing Zhao Zhe, but apparently I was too optimistic.

Think about it now.

The generals above the command level of the Guangxin Army, Xin'an Army, Ansu Army, etc. were either killed on the battlefield, or had their heads chopped off by Cui Ang for delaying military flights. The remaining mid-level generals were inexplicably escorted to Bian.

Liang was assassinated on the way. Poor heroes who were extremely brave on the battlefield were imprisoned in cages and faced with the assassination, without the power to resist.

All these people are dead. Yushitai wants to get more evidence. If not himself, who should he turn to?

The accusation made by a living commander-level general was naturally extremely lethal to Jing Wang Zhao Zhe, and could even kill him with one blow.

Oh, by the way, there is another person. That person is Xiao Ding, the former commander of the Guangrui Army. Now this person is the general manager of the Western March, the youngest general manager in the history of the Song Dynasty.

But Cui Ang can no longer afford to offend Xiao Ding.

Xiao Ding, who has more than 100,000 troops under his control, is now a full-fledged military boss. Who is willing to mess with this hedgehog if he is not completely sure?

That is, it is easy for people like me to handle it.

Even if Cui Ang's tongue shines like a lotus flower, Tao Dayong will never trust this person again.

I once believed in this man very much, and led my subordinates to fight for him through life and death, and also made great military exploits for him. Later, Guiyi City was not defended, which was not my problem.

Even though he was defeated later, Tao Dayong did not hate Cui Ang, because victory or defeat is a common thing for military strategists, even though Cui Ang did have big problems in command.

Because this is just a question of ability.

But later, the unjust deaths of Qin Kuan and others made Tao Dayong completely see the true face of Cui Ang.

Unjustly killing a general in order to cover up your own incompetence is a serious problem with your moral character. As long as you do such a thing, people will no longer be able to trust you.

Moreover, in order to completely absolve himself, this person did not hesitate to drag these generals into the whirlpool of seizing the reserve and treason, which was impossible to see the bottom of.

He achieved his goal and retained his power.

However, he also let everyone see his face clearly.

Cui Ang refused Cui Ang's request without hesitation. Even if Cui Ang threatened him in secret, Tao Dayong could not change his mind.

This is obviously letting yourself fall into the mud pit. Do you really think that you have strong limbs and a simple mind?

Even though I haven't read much, I still know how many ministers who get caught up in things like seizing the throne will end well. Even civil servants can't protect themselves, let alone a military general.

That would really mean death without a burial place.

What can I do to myself if I firmly refuse to agree?

Dismissed from office? Seized from office?

Anyway, now I just hold the title of commander and have no power at all. The only advantage is that I can get salary and rice, wine and meat from the court. It's great that I don't want these.

The properties I have purchased over the years are enough for my family to live on.

Thinking about my thoughts all the way, I returned to my home in Beicheng.

A small second-level courtyard. On the outside lives his old general, who is now his servant, and inside lives his family. His son is an officer of the Dingwu Army and usually lives in the military camp. His two daughters have been there for a long time.

After getting married, she married into two well-to-do families in Daming Mansion. She has her own face here. Her daughter is very proud in her husband's family and has already started to take care of the house.

"General is back?" A veteran rushed out of the door in a few steps and reached out to take the horse rein from Tao Dayong's hand.

Tao Dayong stared at Wang Zhu who came out behind the veteran, frowning slightly: "Wang Zhu, have you encountered any difficulties?"

More than a month ago, when Wang Zhu was released from prison, he gave him twenty strings of money.

This man was a good man, but he had taken him out of jail and paid him a living allowance, so he was worthy of him. If he kept causing trouble for him, Tao Dayong would inevitably look down on him.

Wang Zhu smiled and bowed: "It's not difficult. I've just settled all my family affairs and found a job. I'm settled. That's why I came here to express my gratitude to the commander."

The veteran laughed and said: "General, Xiao Wang is really thoughtful and bought a lot of things. I told him, our general doesn't have anything. Is that what you need to buy?"

"I don't know how to buy things, and I don't know what to buy, so I just bought some food. This stuff is affordable and I use it every day!" Wang Zhu said while rubbing his hands.

"Just like your elder brother, they are both real people!" The veteran smiled and said: "General, Xiao Wang bought two full bags. In addition to him, he also asked a brother to pick them together!"

When the veteran said this, Tao Dayong saw a man standing in the shadow on one side of the gate.

"The villain He Sheng has seen the commander!" The man took a step forward, crossed his hands and clasped his fists, and performed a military salute. Tao Dayong was startled, and the man in front of him stood up straight, with a familiar face to Tao Dayong

His face suddenly made sweat break out all over his back.

He stared blankly at the face in front of him.

Qin Min.

The son of old friend Qin Kuan.

It is said that he died in the battle at Baigou Station.

However, because Qin Kuan was involved in a treason case, all the honors and pensions that Qin Min deserved were naturally lost.

He turned to look at Wang Zhu, who nodded slightly to him.

Tao Dayong understood something immediately. He glanced left and right, took a deep breath, and smiled to himself: "It's a rare occasion for me to come, sit down in the room and have a cup of tea!"

"Thank you very much, Commander!" Wang Zhu smiled and bowed in thanks.

The door to Tao's house was closed with a bang.

Compared to Tao Dayong's house in Nancheng, the Sun family's mansion in Dongcheng is much more luxurious. It really deserves the word "deep house and compound". One look at the size of the walls and gatehouse of this house, and you know that this family is very special.

Wealth means wealth.

There were several big men standing in front of the door with their chests and abdomen exposed. Each of them held a whistle stick in his hand and swung his waist and crotch in front of the door. At first glance, he looked like he was not a good kind. There were two big men with yellow and black fur.

The dog was tied to a stone pillar on one side of the gate, grinning at passers-by from time to time.

This man and this dog scared the passers-by so much that they pressed against the wall on the other side of the street as much as they could, fearing that they might get into trouble if they were not careful.

There was a sound of clanging iron rods hitting the bluestone on the ground. The arrogant men looked up and saw an old man with white hair and beard, striding towards them, leaning on an iron rod.

Although he is really not young, the old man holds his head high and his chest is straight, and his eyes are not squinting.

Looking at the path that the old man was walking, he happened to be within the attack range of the dog. A big man whistled maliciously, hoping that the dog would scare the old man and make it fun for everyone.

.

Sure enough, the dog roared and rushed towards the old man. He bared his teeth and bared his teeth. He stood up. The big man behind him pulled the chain, preparing to pull the dog back when he was about to succeed.

The old man suddenly turned his head and shouted loudly. The sound was really like a thunderbolt. The dog was frightened and fell to the ground. As soon as he turned his head, he actually ran away with his tail between his legs. It seemed that at this moment, the dog saw

It's like something extremely scary.

Several big men were also dumbfounded.

Just now, the old man's beard and hair were spread out and he was holding the iron rod tightly. Even at that moment, they felt their hearts twitching.

"Several dog slaves!" The old man stared at these big men: "Is this how Sun Guaizi teaches his subordinates?"

"Old man, you don't know whether to live or die, is that what you call Sun Guaizi?" A big man said angrily: "Be careful of your legs and feet being broken. Get out of here before the grandpas get angry."

"Hehe, Sun Guaizi is indeed very powerful!" The old man sneered a few times: "Go and tell Sun Guaizi that Han Zheng is here to see him, and ask him if he has seen you?"

Several big men looked at each other. This old man looked really extraordinary. The key point was that his momentum was a bit scary! I didn't see the two usually majestic dogs. Now they have their tails between their legs and don't even dare to bark.

?

A man turned around and ran towards the house.

After a while, the sound of an iron rod falling to the ground was heard in the room. Several big men turned around and saw their boss, Sun Guaizi, appearing at the door with a smile on his face.

"Brother Han, what kind of wind is it that has brought you to my place today? Please come in quickly, please come in quickly!"

Han Zheng snorted: "Your threshold is very high. I'm afraid you won't welcome me here?"

"That's what you're saying. Brother Han is an honored guest that I can't even invite! These servants have narrow vision and have never seen the world. Brother Han, don't blame them." Sun Guaizi said with a smile: "

Please come quickly, please come quickly, it’s rare for Brother Han to come to my place, and he must not come back until he is drunk today.”

Han Zheng shook his head and said: "Knapper, I'm not telling you, you are too showy. If someone like the censor comes to the door that day, you will suffer disaster later! Don't look at your appearance now,

In front of those censors, you are nothing!"

"That's it, that's it!" A trace of gloom flashed in Sun Guaizi's eyes, and he glanced at the men: "Didn't you hear what Brother Han said? Are you still staying there and beating them to death? Get back here."

Several men said yes, took the dog, and returned to the mansion dejectedly.

After welcoming Han Zheng into the lobby and making some good tea, Sun Guaizi said with a smile: "Brother Han, I know your temperament. You have never looked down upon me. If you come here today, something must be wrong. If Brother Han needs my help,

As long as you open your mouth, brother, I will never refuse."

Han Zheng looked at Sun Guaizi and said: "Guaizi, you and I really don't have a deep friendship, but anyway, we both worked for the old master before, and now we both work for Erlang. I got wind of something.

But I don’t quite believe it, so I came here to ask you specifically.”

Sun Guaizi's heart skipped a beat and he said, "Brother Han, what do you want to ask? Brother, I will tell you everything I know."

Han Zheng nodded: "Before Erlang left, he specifically told you at my house that we are not allowed to get involved in anything related to His Highness King Jing. Do you still remember? Erlang said that His Highness King Jing will definitely be in the future.

Bad thing, if we get involved with him, we will probably get into trouble in the future, right?"
