On Huanlong Road in the French Concession, a Western-style villa with a small garden.

"Xiao Qi, are you sure that Tao Gong lives here?" Chen Miao got out of the car, Xiao Qi walked over with a newly made robe in one hand and two gift boxes in the other.

"That's right, I came back with him and saw him enter this door, and his wife and children also arrived in Shanghai not long after Hong Kong." Little Seven Ways.

For an important negotiator like Tao Yuansheng, No. 76 naturally sent someone to protect him, whether it was Tao himself, or Tao's wife and daughter, as long as he went out, there would be No. 76's spies to follow him.

But this aspect is not under Chen Miao's control, there is another set of people, mainly Wu Yunfu's guard corps is doing this, this is the place where Chen Miao's hand can't reach in No. 76.

"Stop, who are you, do you know whose house this is?" Chen Miao and Xiao Qi actually let the No. 76 spy standing guard at the door of Tao's house stop them.

It's no wonder that there are so many spies on No. 76, and there are many small spies who have been on field missions outside, and there are many people who don't know Chen Miao.

"I scared your dog's eyes, and you dare to stop Director Chen of the Inspectorate?" Xiao Qi rarely faked the tiger once, and the little spy shuddered with a cold look, subconsciously reached out and touched the bulging position on his waist, and took a small step back.

"You said you are Director Chen of the Inspectorate, what about the documents?"

Chen Miao took out her documents from her coat pocket and handed them over.

When the little spy saw that it was really No. 76 certificate, he immediately put on a smile: "Director Chen, I'm sorry, I don't know your driver, please forgive me." ”

"Is Tao Gong here?"

"Yes, just came back, do you have something to do with Minister Tao?" The little spy asked uneasily, these are all necessary, otherwise it will be difficult for him to deal with them.

"Last time at Mr. Wang's dinner, I accidentally spilled wine on Tao Gong's clothes, I made a special one, and today I came here to apologize." Chen Miao explained.

"So that's the case, Minister Tao has instructed, I haven't seen a guest recently, if it's a special visitor, you need to be polite, please forgive me." The little spy explained that although this was the rule above, he didn't dare to offend Chen Miao easily, after all, the big man above could crush him to death with a little finger.

"Well, I'm visiting as a guest, and it's right to ask the host's permission." Chen Miao nodded.

"Then you wait, the little one will come."

……

"Madam, don't force me to be good, I really can't say it." Tao Yuansheng has been angry at both ends recently, the Japanese are angry at the negotiation table, the Japanese are aggressive, and they refuse to give in at all, that is called an arrogant and unstoppable, the negotiation content is almost word-for-word negotiations, it is really difficult, and his wife will not let him go when he returns home, and he can't raise his head when he scolds his traitorous husband at every turn, scolds him angrily, and scolds him.

He can also see that the Japanese just want to annex China, and any peace is said to deceive the ghost, and the Wang family is also faint for power, if he signs such a traitorous secret treaty, it will be stinking for 10,000 years, but what can he do, he is already on this boat?

It was so easy to get off the ship, and if he had the slightest disagreement, the spy eagle dogs of No. 76 would immediately rush in and tear his family to shreds.

Does he dare to bet?

Don't dare, I'm dead for a hundred, but my wife and children, plus him, a family of seven, can't survive, is this what he wants to see?

"Tao Yuansheng, do you want to say it?" Tao Yuansheng's wife suddenly took out a Browning pistol from the drawer and slapped it on the desk with a "pop".

"Madame, where did you get your gun?" Tao Yuansheng's face turned white with fright when he saw it, he was a professor and a literati, although he was no stranger to guns, but he rarely touched this kind of weapon that could kill people.

"It's just a gun, look at what scares you." Mrs. Tao smiled sneeringly, "I brought it from Hong Kong for self-defense." ”

"How did you get through the customs with this gun?"

"What's this, my identity, do you think those people at the customs dare to search me?" Mrs. Tao said, "Even if it is searched, what are you afraid of, your Tao Yuansheng's wife has a gun on her body to defend herself, is there a problem?" ”

"Madam, you really scared me, hurry, hurry up and put away the gun, Xuan'er will come in and see it in a while, but it's not good." Tao Yuansheng hurriedly pointed to the pistol and said.

"Xuan'er is not as timid as you." Mrs. Tao snorted coldly.

"Knock knock......" At this time, there was a sharp knock on the door outside the study.

"Who?"

"Dad, Mom, the people at No. 76 outside the door told me that a director of their inspection department surnamed Chen asked to see him." Daughter Tao Xuan's voice came in.

"The director of the inspector's office surnamed Chen, I don't know the director of No. 76. You tell him, I'm tired today, I don't see guests......" Tao Yuansheng didn't want to say it, but when he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered that at the dinner party that welcomed Chen Zhibo to Shanghai at the Wang Mansion a few nights ago, he did know a director surnamed Chen at No. 76, could it be that he couldn't do it?

"Wait a minute, Xuan'er, you go and invite someone to the living room to serve tea, and Dad will be there in a while." Tao Yuansheng changed his mind and ordered.

"The surname Tao, if you don't explain things clearly today, don't think about it. Bed to sleep. Mrs. Tao snorted coldly, how could she not understand her husband's trick to change the topic?

"Bingru, I really can't say, alas......" Tao Yuansheng sighed.

Chen Miao and Xiao Qi, led by Tao Xuan, walked into the living room of the Tao family, which was a property purchased by Tao Yuansheng as a professor at Fudan University in Shanghai in the past.

There are too many memories, even if he moved west at that time, he was not willing to sell it, and after following Wang back to Shanghai, he still lived in his old house.

After all, it's your own home, and it's comfortable to live in.

"Director Chen, please take a seat." Although Tao Xuan is only seventeen years old and still studying, he can treat people and things, and he already has a sense of everyone.

This is completely different from the daughter of a small family.

is not timid, down-and-out and generous, Chen Miao, who won at first sight, has a lot of favor.

Of course, he also noticed that this little girl was actually secretly observing him with her spare eyes, and of course he wouldn't break it.

His target was Tao Yuansheng, and there was no reason to think about anything else.

A seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, how many hearts and eyes can she have, Chen Miao followed behind Tao Xuan and walked into the living room of the Tao family, which is indeed where the scholar lives.

Although it is the same object, it feels different, a quiet and peaceful smell.

"Miss Tao, what kind of incense does Gong Tao use at home?"

"Oh, it's my father's own self-made, and it has a calming effect." Tao Xuan showed a slight surprise, he lit incense at home, but the smell was very light, and ordinary people couldn't smell it, even if he smelled this fragrance, he wouldn't immediately think that it was incense, and this Director Chen actually said that it was the smell of incense.

"I just think that this smell is very good, but it is not like the perfume on the market and the body fragrance of my daughter's family, so there is only one possibility, incense." Chen Miao smiled.

"I can't imagine that Director Chen actually understands incense?" Tao Yuansheng was dressed very casually, with a sweater vest and a white shirt inside, stepping on a pair of slippers, looking like an idle home.

"Called Tao Gongjian smiled, I just understand a little." Chen Miao hurriedly got up and greeted him.

"Sit, Xuan'er, bring over a glass of the bird's tongue you sent by Uncle Mei." Tao Yuansheng has a good impression of Chen Miao, although Gao Zongwu reminded him to stay away from the people of No. 76, but he has his own set of philosophy of life and will not easily obey others.

"Okay, Dad." Tao Xuan agreed.

"Thank you, Tao Gong." Chen Miao knew that Tao Yuansheng served as the head of Wang's Propaganda Department, and most people also called him Minister Tao, but he didn't call him that, but directly called him "Tao Gong", but this small title narrowed the distance.

Tao Yuansheng didn't like this title very much, but he couldn't say it directly.

"Little Seven." Chen Miao greeted, and Xiao Qi took the prepared robe and the thin gift that Chen Miao had prepared.

"Tao Gong, I soiled Tao Gong's clothes at Mr. Wang's private dinner, Sanshui was very sorry, specially selected a piece of material from Fu Ruixiang, boldly inspected it, and made you a pair of robes, which is considered an apology, please accept it!" Chen Miao said respectfully.

"Director Chen is too polite, it's just an old robe, isn't it just a little wine, I have already asked my wife to clean it when I came back, and there are no stains left, you are too polite." Tao Yuansheng was surprised, he only thought it was Chen Miao's kind words at the time, but he didn't expect to really make a new robe and send it over.

"I soiled your robe, and I should accompany you with one." Chen Miao hurriedly said, "If you don't accept it, I won't be at ease." ”

"This ......" Tao Yuansheng was a little embarrassed, he never accepted gifts from people, but this robe was not a gift, and people said that it was an apology.

"Master Ruifuxiang's craftsmanship has made Director Chen break the bank." After hesitating for a while, Tao Yuansheng decided to accept it, he was afraid that there would be a follow-up, so it was better to accept it and end this cause and effect.

"This is a little bit of food, candy, candied fruit or something, for the sister-in-law and the young lady, the sons' snacks, it's not worth a few dollars, and I hope Tao Gong won't dislike it." Chen Miao said again.

Who is this person giving what gifts, people like Tao Yuansheng, self-proclaimed literati, naturally can't give too heavy gifts, but they can't leave empty-handed.

Some candies, candied fruits and other snacks are the best, and they are also in the name of giving them to children, and the price is not high, so that Tao Yuansheng can't find a reason to refuse.

"Okay, Xuan'er, thank you Uncle Sanshui for me." Tao Yuansheng commanded.

"Thank you, Uncle Sanshui." Tao Xuan shouted Chen Miao with some reluctance.

Chen Miao nodded slightly.

"Tao Gong, you are busy, I won't stay longer." Chen Miao knows that there are some things that cannot be rushed, and if you are in a hurry, it is easy for people to see the intention.

"Let's go, let's stay and eat together, right?" Tao Yuansheng felt that he had thought a little too much, and people were here to apologize, and he had no intention of anything, so he couldn't help but speak.

"That's not good, is it?" Chen Miao was really anxious, but he still excused himself.

"What's so bad, I have a lot of opinions about your number 76, do you want to hear it?" Tao Yuansheng seemed to let down his guard and said bluntly.

"Then I'll be cheeky and listen." Chen Miao smiled, and hit the snake with the stick.
