Nowadays, in Jiankang City, most of the surviving residential buildings are concentrated on both sides of the Qinhuai River. This is not to say that the buildings here are intact, in fact, when the rebels occupied the city, because of the proximity to the waterways, the houses in this vicinity were the most damaged.

However, because the banks of the Qinhuai River are the center of the city that has flourished since the old Wu Dynasty, most of the Danyang families have houses and real estate here, so the resistance to demolition is great.

The Danyang Tao family house is located on the west side of the big truss, on the south bank of the Qinhuai River, close to the original South Garden. However, Nanyuan has long been burned into a white ground, and the prosperity is not there, and even a large number of stones that are still left have been transferred to the Fang area under construction in Changganli for waste use.

Tao Hui had to stay in Taicheng to clean up the mess because he had a position, so he didn't spare a little time to hurry home until the evening.

It was still far away from home, Tao Hui saw that the front of the house was full of cars, and his originally slightly frowning brows couldn't help frowning deeper, and his mood was chaotic for a while, I don't know whether to be glad that the villagers are in danger, or to worry about their own homes being too eye-catching.

As soon as he got out of the car at the door, several protégés hurried up to him and quickly told him who was waiting at the house.

After listening to the vestibule, more than a dozen people in the hall hurriedly walked out and asked, "Tao Hou, I don't know if there is a turning point now?" ”

"The child at home is still in the back garden, I wonder if I can rescue it?"

"yes, we should rescue people first now, and then think about the rest! Last night, the little raccoon dog swept through the capital, and many of the families were captured, and now they are all imprisoned in Stone Town. Even if you don't think about safety, you have to prevent them from biting each family with this! ”

At present, these people are indeed in chaos, and now, not to mention that the original attempt has not been achieved, even the children and protégés launched by various families have not returned for a long time, and they do not know whether they are alive or dead.

Hearing the roars of the crowd, Tao Hui couldn't help but feel more irritable, and suddenly roared: "Shut up!" ”

Hearing this reprimand, everyone was stunned, and the noise stopped abruptly.

Tao Hui waved his hand, motioned for everyone to follow him into the room, and after the doors and windows were closed, he sat down in the banquet and sighed: "The matter has failed, the best time has been missed, I hope you are all prepared for the worse." However, one thing should be remembered, as long as we and other villagers can unite and make an appointment to advance and retreat, no matter how bad the situation is, there will definitely be a turnaround! ”

When he said this, Tao Hui's eyes kept roaming over everyone's faces, observing their respective expressions. He knows very well that it is no longer possible to fight back now, if they can still hold together with one mind, or they can still make Taichung fearful, and the law will not be held accountable.

However, he is not very confident in this, how Zhang Min was victimized by this group of villagers, he knows very well in his heart. If the opponent counterattacks, he is one of the top targets. If you want to get through this difficult time, you must unite the villagers around you.

After a little silence, Tao Hui sighed again: "The situation has not changed to the worst, those murderers died in the court lieutenant prison, and Bian Dun cannot escape the blame." His family is the gateway to loyalty, and there must be no shortage of old friends to come to the rescue, and that is also our opportunity. Later, I will go to see Wang Taibao and tell me that the villagers want to take refuge. The capital is newly determined, and it is not appropriate to purge it on a large scale, and Wang Taibao must also understand this truth. ”

After hearing this, everyone nodded one after another, no matter whether it was reasonable or not, they should make peace first, so that they could feel at ease. Just nodding at the same time, there are also people whose eyes are faintly flickering, and it is really Tao Hui's tone that is a little uncertain, which makes them dare not report too much optimism.

"The people who have fallen into each family, I will go and ask Yu Siao to see him. He is newly in charge of the military protection government, and without us people, it is difficult to gain a foothold. There is also Shang Shuling, who may not be willing to be in charge of the protectors, and it is not that there is no way to do it. ”

Tao Hui knew very well that they had now lost the capital to advance and retreat, and if they wanted to preserve some vitality, they could only look for cracks. Obviously it is the hometown where he lives, but he has to rely on others to survive, although it is depressing, it is also the only choice in desperation.

He was still about to give orders, when suddenly the door was hurriedly slammed, and everyone in the room was stunned, and then he heard someone outside the door shouting urgently: "King Qian has come to the door to see Lord Lang......"

Before the words fell, the door had been violently broken open from the outside, and the king of Chen, who was dressed in armor, entered the room surrounded by more than a dozen soldiers, looked around the room, and a sneering smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "On the order of Duke Wen, please ask Tao Beijun to enter Taicheng to say something." ”

Seeing that King Qian was coming violently, everyone in the room was already in turmoil. When the matter came, Tao Hui tried his best to suppress the disordered mood, stood up and said expressionlessly: "I didn't know that the king came to the door, and he missed the distance." May I ask the king what happened to Wen Qiao's summons? I asked Gong Wen when I left Taicheng before, but Gong Wen didn't give me any orders at that time. ”

After hearing this, King Qian did not rush to answer, but just waved his hand to separate the guards behind him, and then revealed the hundreds of soldiers in the courtyard.

Seeing this scene, everyone in the room didn't dare to say anything, for fear of provoking the fire.

Tao looked back and left, but his heart was sad, he had agreed with these villagers to unite as one, but now when he wants to unite as one, no one has come forward!

The king of Qian came with a crowd without notification or a formal warrant, so who can tell whose orders he received? Where are you going to take yourself? This time, I'm afraid it's uncertain about life and death!

After a little silence, Tao Hui got off his seat, took the opportunity to give the clansmen around him a look, and then said to King Chen: "Since Duke Wen has a call, I naturally dare not slack off, but I have just returned home and have not changed my shirt and eaten." Please wait a moment, and I'll go change my clothes and go with the king......"

"It's not necessary, it's not an important matter, the Northern Army will return later."

As he spoke, King Qian strode into the room, grabbed Tao Hui's wrist, turned his head and said with a smile: "Can't the Northern Army still believe me?" ”

I believe you have ghosts!

Seeing that King Qian was approaching step by step, Tao turned his upper body and wanted to withdraw his arm, but his eyes turned to those who were still silent in the hall, and said with a forced smile: "Since it is not an important matter, then why hurry." The king also saw that today's family is old and old, and if they abandon each other, they will inevitably be coldly hurt. ”

Hearing Tao Hui say this, some people in the banquet couldn't help but want to open their mouths to support, but as soon as their mouths opened, they heard King Qian laugh and said: "This is a coincidence, I brought a lot of cars, if you are in love, you might as well go together." ”

"Why does the king have to be persecuted?"

When Tao Hui said this, his face was already gloomy.

Why the persecution?

King Qian couldn't wait to draw his sword to kill Tao Hui on the spot, you must know that he was in charge of the recent defense of Taicheng, but these Danyang people incited the mob to storm Taicheng. If it weren't for the timely arrival of the horses and the destruction of those mobs in Taicheng, King Chen's life would be difficult to protect, this guy would still have the face to ask why he was being persecuted!

"Where the ministry is, please go to the Northern Army!"

With a shake of King Chen's arm, Tao Hui was pushed forward, and then two guards stepped forward and set up left and right to go out.

"There have been a lot of events in the city lately, so if you want to visit friends, you might as well avoid the limelight."

When the guards pulled Tao Hui out of the hall, King Qian said as he reached out and grabbed Tao Hui's son who rushed down from the hall: "If Tao Lang is fine, then come with me." ”

——————

After meeting the Empress Dowager, Wang Dao had just left Jianping Garden, and learned that Tao Hui had been captured by King Chen, and even his brothers and sons were captured one by one!

With such a fast action, there is no time for the other party to react, this is leaving no way to live!

pinched the edict of the Queen Mother in his hand, and Wang Dao couldn't help but sigh in his heart. In fact, Tao Hui is also an old man under his family, who followed the general in his early years, and was later used by him. It's not that he didn't want to pull a hand, even if he can't keep the position, at least he has to leave a life.

But now, the person was taken away first, and even if he wanted to help, he was one step behind. The coming Japanese people will be transferred to him again, but I am afraid that the Protector Mansion has already prepared enough evidence to raid the family and exterminate the clan, what can he do at that time?

After thinking for a while, Director Wang still went to Wen Qiao first and asked Bian Dun to come back. didn't have time to say anything more, so he asked Bian Dun to stay in his official office, sorted out all kinds of files to be summoned for interrogation overnight, and at the same time ordered Tingwei to immediately dispatch people to get them.

When doing this, Director Wang also persuaded him bitterly, hoping that Bian Dun could take the overall situation first and take the initiative to bear the responsibility. He made a promise to do his best to save Bian Dun's life and even the heir to the title.

Bian Dun was really confused at this time, and seeing that Tao Hui's family was actually taken away and didn't know whether they were alive or dead, he felt the cruelty of the political struggle more and more.

The current atmosphere is no longer the relaxed atmosphere that he can recover after making a big mistake back then, and he may have to drink hatred if he is not careful. So when Director Wang asked Peng's subordinates to sort out the files in his name, he spent the whole night writing a plea in the case.

As for Director Wang, he was writing a letter to Wang Shu, hoping that Wang Shu could send Wang Yunzhi back to Jiankang to join the Protector's Mansion. This time, he handed over a Jiuqing court lieutenant, and Tao Hui is also his person, and he is also helping to clear these Danyang people, and the Protector Mansion should give his family a place.

At the same time, Director Wang is also writing to Zhao Yin, who is still staying in Liyang, hoping that Zhao Yin can be prepared. At present, it can be said that there are results, and local changes also need to be taken into account.

In addition, in the letter to these two, Director Wang also asked them what the situation in Jiangbei was. If it is not too bad, he hopes to arrange Wang Bin to be the minister of Jiangxia. Wang Bin is no longer suitable to stay in Jiankang at the moment, and if those rich places and important positions in Jiangdong want to be arranged, there is too much resistance.

Because Jiangbei does not have the barrier of Yuzhou Zuyue, Jiangxia will not be peaceful there. Let Wang Bin go to Jiangxia and replace Wen Qiao's person Wang Suqi, on the one hand, he will return the color to Wen Qiao, and on the other hand, he will arrange a dangerous task for Wang Bin, and let the Shen family not gain an inch again.

Of course, there is another point, that is, Tao Kan is old and may not be able to control Jingzhou for a long time. If Wang Bin can gain a foothold in Jiangxia and go to Jingzhou in the coming days, the resistance will be much smaller.

Because of this purge, the atmosphere in the whole city is still not relaxed. However, before waiting for the response of the local towns, two days later, a group of men and horses entered the capital from the west in a rather embarrassed manner.

"Uncle Yu suddenly crossed the river and expelled the last general from Liyang ......"

Zhao Yin threw himself aside, his hair was scattered, and he knelt in front of Director Wang with a disgraced expression.
