Chapter 38: Action Begins



Yuwei must be afraid that they will finish the braised pork ribs on their plates!

Otherwise, why would you choose this time to say something that makes you feel uncomfortable?

Tao Zhihong glanced angrily at his daughter who was fully engrossed in her meal.

Wu was shocked.

It seems that someone has been hiding in the dark and dealing with their family. They can no longer remain passive.

When I get back, I must discuss countermeasures with my husband.

After hearing the voice in his head, Tao Zixing was able to calm himself down and not show any abnormal behavior.

If someone wants to harm Daddy, he will never stand idly by!

【Why did everyone stop eating? 】

[As expected of a Xiang Man Lou production! ]

"Some time ago, I went to discuss the division of the family property with your second uncle, but he didn't show up. I sent people to look for him outside, and found that he had settled down in another house outside, and he also kept other people in the yard without your second aunt's knowledge."

"Now the family has been divided, and he doesn't know yet. I plan to have a good talk with him tonight."

Tao Zhihong discussed the matter with his wife casually, but his intention was actually to tell his daughter.

I don't need to remind Dad specifically. If he shows up in person, he might discover something incredible in the courtyard where Second Uncle has settled.

[Mom, there's a good chance Dad will run into the person who framed him. He'll be shocked when he sees that person's true face.]

I want to go along and watch the fun. I want to see how Dad will react when he finds out his best friend is plotting against him behind his back.

Tao Zhihong had just picked up a prawn when he heard the news. His hand shook and the prawn fell to the ground.

He was in a terrible state. Who was his best friend who harmed him? Why didn't the girl continue talking?

It's so frustrating.

Tao Yuwei saw that her father did not hold the chopsticks firmly, causing a fat prawn to fall to the ground. She glanced at her father with regret.

"Appreciate delicious food and don't waste it!" In the end times, it is as difficult as climbing to heaven to eat a bite of uncontaminated food.

Tao Yuwei picked up the prawns, peeled the shells patiently, and savored the delicious flavor of the prawns, without thinking about anything else for the time being.

Wu and Tao Zixing understood what Tao Zhihong meant.

They're going to act tonight.

After dinner, the family washed their hands and rinsed their mouths with the help of the maid. Tao Yuwei smiled and discussed with her father, "Dad, I want to go out with you too."

Tao Zhihong refused disapprovingly, "I'm out on business. It's not appropriate for you to go out with me so late at night."

[If you don't want to go, then don't go. I'm going back to lie down. No one should disturb my rest!]

Just now at the dinner table, I heard from my father that he had noticed something was wrong with my second uncle and planned to go there in person.

This is a good thing. As a general who has fought in the battlefield, Dad might discover all the actions against him when he goes to Second Uncle.

With her around, I can play slowly with those people.

It is absolutely impossible for them to be as outrageous as in the original plot.

If anyone dares to disturb her good days, she will make them regret it.

Before planning to go back to rest, Tao Yuwei reminded her father worriedly.

"Dad, when you get to Second Uncle's place, don't say hello yet. It's best to bring a few more people with you and quietly climb over the wall to get in. There will be a surprise waiting for you!"

After saying this, she turned and walked out the door, heading towards her own yard.

Although she really wanted to go to the scene to watch the fun, she was also tempted by the cool ice basin in the house. It was such a hot day, so she gave up.

If she doesn't go, she can still get the news from the bats flying at night.

He returned to his yard, walked into his room, took a hot bath, changed into light underwear, and lay down to rest.

study.

Tao Zhihong had already received the news that someone had entered Liushu Hutong in a low-key carriage. He gathered people, arranged everyone's division of labor, and began to act.

"When we get to Willow Alley, Tieshan will take a few people to reunite with the people guarding there, and the rest of the people will sneak into the courtyard and wait for news from me."

Just as the operation was arranged, Tao Zixing broke into the study.

"Dad, I'll go with you."

Tao Zhihong said in a serious tone, "Study hard at home, I'll take care of everything outside!"

Looking at the young man who had grown up, Tao Zhihong walked up to his second son, patted his shoulder and explained, "I will give you a chance to gain experience, but not now."

According to my daughter, the other party designed to frame him, which was simply related to the factional struggle among several princes.

My second son will take the imperial examination in the future, so I can’t let him get involved in these disputes in advance.

Tao Zixing understood his father's actions and nodded silently.

After watching his father take his men away from the house, Tao Zixing returned to his own courtyard. He wanted to write a letter to his elder brother and tell him some things about the family.

There is no moon at night, but the sky is full of stars.

Tao Zhihong brought his men to Liushu Hutong, two streets away.

Shortly after entering the alley, two people emerged from the darkness beside them.

Met with Tao Zhihong and others.

"General, they entered the yard in less than half an hour."

The person who was sent to follow him bowed and reported to Tao Zhihong.

Tao Zhihong raised his hand, and the other party stood up and quickly disappeared with some people.

Another group of people nimbly jumped over the wall and entered the yard.

Tao Zhihong followed closely and took action personally.

He wanted to see which good friend had evil intentions and colluded with his good second brother to bring him down.

According to the layout of the courtyard, this is a small courtyard.

Entering the courtyard, Tao Zhihong saw a carriage parked there.

It was impossible to tell whose carriage it was from the outside.

At this time, the candlelight in the east wing was bright. Standing outside, I saw two figures on the window.

Tao Zhihong made a gesture to the others and quietly came under the window.

In the east wing.

Tao Jingyu, the second master of the General's Mansion, sat on a chair with a fat head and big ears, holding a teapot and personally pouring tea for the person sitting opposite him.

"It's more comfortable to stay with Brother Jingyu. What do you think of my previous suggestion?" Li Rui, a sixth-rank official in the Ministry of War, asked while stroking his long black beard and squinting his narrow eyes.

Tao Jingyu poured the water and sat down, forcing a bitter smile on his fat face.

"I know that my brother has good intentions and is doing this for me to be able to make further progress as a brother. However, no matter what, he is still my eldest brother. Let's forget about it!"

Li Rui laughed out loud after hearing this. "Brother, you're worried that if the truth is revealed, you won't be able to handle it, right? Don't worry, there's no need to have any doubts. As long as you agree, my nobleman and I will definitely help you achieve your wish."

Tao Jingyu's fat hand holding the teacup shook violently, and a little tea spilled out.

Without bothering to wipe it, he put down his teacup, leaned over and whispered across the small square table, "Brother, thank you for thinking highly of me, but blaming my bad deeds on you, big brother, won't stand up to scrutiny."

The man opposite waved his hands after hearing this and said, "Oh, look how scared I am of you. I'm asking you to cooperate. Once this is done, not only will you be safe, but you'll also get a promotion and make a fortune."

Seeing Tao Jingyu hesitantly sit down, the man tried to persuade him again, "If the news of your eldest brother raising a young prostitute spreads, it won't have a big impact on him. It's just that some people don't like him and want him to be reprimanded by His Majesty. What do you have to worry about?"
