    Yuan Mai was surprised by Sun Qian's sudden visit.  "I have nothing to do with Liu Bei, so what's the purpose of suddenly sending an envoy?"  Without giving it any thought, he straightened his clothes and hurried to the living room in the front yard to summon Sun Qian.  I saw that Sun Qian was about thirty-five or sixty-six years old. His appearance was somewhat similar to that of Zhuge Jin. At first glance, he seemed to be good at rhetoric and often played a diplomatic role.  "Sun Qian is so polite to meet Yuan Bingzhou!" Knowing that the governor of Bingzhou was very young, Sun Qian was still a little surprised when he saw Yuan Mai, who was eighteen or nineteen years old, and hurriedly saluted and paid homage.  But in my heart, I was envious of Liu Bei. It was great to be born into a famous family. He could enjoy the success and become a prince who controlled a state at a young age. However, Liu Bei, the uncle of the emperor, kept running around, working hard, and he was really more popular than anyone else.  dead!  After the greetings, Sun Qian ordered his entourage to present gifts, mostly rare treasures, including the precious Double Dragon White Jade Wall, Shang Dynasty porcelain, bronzes, as well as some pearls, emeralds, gold and silver jewelry, etc., filling a box full of them.  , priceless.  Although Liu Bei lacked major generals and territory, he did not lack money.  After marrying the eldest daughter of the Mi family and having a brother-in-law like Mi Zhu, who was extremely wealthy, Liu Bei was extremely wealthy when it came to money.  In addition, Liu Bei defeated Yuan Shu a few days ago and enjoyed the gains. He took over the wealth that this extortionate guy had accumulated for many years, and Liu Bei's wealth increased even more.  In the past six months, all diplomatic routes have been financed, with great results.  "This is my lord's wish, please accept it!" Sun Qian smiled.  He gently closed the lid of the box and signaled Yuan Mai to accept it.  I figured out Sun Qian¡¯s purpose.  Yuan Mai immediately decided to form an alliance with Liu Bei.  " Anyway, there is no loss to him. It is better to have one more ally than one more enemy. Moreover, his most important enemy at the moment is Cao Cao. Liu Bei rushed to his door and begged for an alliance, which he wished for.  After the Battle of Guandu ends next year, Cao Cao is likely to focus his attack on Hanoi next year. With Liu Bei in the south to contain Cao Cao's forces, he can greatly reduce his pressure.  Why not?  Although Yuan Mai served as governor for half a year, he never found an opportunity to make a fortune, and he did not want to take plunder from the people, let alone deduct military pay. He only relied on the filial piety of officials from various places to have a little wealth in his hands.  But there are six or seven women in the backyard, as well as dozens of maids and servants.  In terms of economy, he can be called "Alexander". Liu Bei suddenly sent such a box of treasures, which was really a help in times of need. If Yuan Mai didn't accept it, he would definitely be in trouble.  "Haha The emperor's uncle is really surprised. Since Mr. Gongyou brought it here from Huainan, I'm welcome. I also have a gift in return!" Yuan Mai accepted the gift with a smile and ordered people to summon Zhuge Jin to entertain Sun Qian.  He is just Liu Bei's envoy. He is a feudal official and a prince.  There is no need to receive Sun Qian in person.  But the gift Yuan Mai gave in return was one hundred mazars.  These are all things Zhen Mi has not sold.  There were thousands of them backlogged in the backyard, and I was worried that I had no place to deal with them, but I didn't expect that they would come in handy at this moment.  He ordered his servants to move it out from the backyard and load it into the car for Sun Qian.  Yuan Mai originally wanted to give Liu Bei a thousand pieces in return, but after thinking about it, giving too many would make this "high-tech" product worthless, so he changed his decision and only gave a hundred pieces.  There is a saying that goes "Rare things are more valuable". Liu Bei might take it as a treasure after seeing it!  "This is definitely a high-tech product. Liu Bei will not suffer at all!" Yuan Mai, wearing a thick cloak and a mink hat, looked at the servants loading the car and snickered in his heart.  Sun Qian had never seen such a strange thing. He picked one up and experienced it for a moment. He couldn't help but give Yuan Mai a thumbs up and praised him repeatedly: "Although this thing is small, it is unique and original. The emperor will definitely like it when he sees it."  , I would like to express my gratitude to the envoy on behalf of my lord!" After the carriage was loaded, Sun Qian, accompanied by Zhuge Jin, went to the post house for the banquet, and Yuan Mai did not need to worry about the rest.  He ordered his servants to move the rare treasures sent by Liu Bei to the backyard. At this moment, several women were playing mahjong happily.  "Ladies and beauties, stop just playing around, come and see what gifts I received from my husband today!" Yuan Mai interrupted the card game with a high-five, opened the box and greeted them.  Regardless of whether Feng Yunniang and Cai Yan inside are outsiders, they will always be addressed as madam.  Although women love to play, they also love rare treasures. They all gathered around them in an instant, looking at this one and that one. Almost every one of them couldn't put it down.  Yuan Mai was very compassionate and generously allowed each of them to pick an item they liked for collection, and the rest would be sent to the treasury for safekeeping in case of emergencies.   At this moment, there were hurried footsteps outside the room, and the servant reported hurriedly outside the door: "Reporting to the Governor, something bad has happened. The mansion is besieged!" "What? The mansion is besieged?"  " Yuan Mai was immediately confused. He was so excited just now. The chirping women were also startled. They looked at each other, wondering what happened?  How could the majestic "General's Mansion" be surrounded just because it was surrounded?  Yuan Mai took a deep breath, waved his hand to signal the women to calm down, then pretended to be calm and opened the door, stared at the servant outside the door, and asked calmly: "Besieged by Cao's army?" "No"  The servant hunched over to speak and wiped the sweat from his forehead.  On such a cold day, I was sweating profusely from running, which shows how urgent the situation is!  "Who are they if they are not Cao Jun? Black Mountain bandits or Huns soldiers?" Yuan Mai became more and more confused, "Take a breath and speak slowly!" After the servant took a big breath, he calmed down and said anxiously: "  They were not Cao Jun or Black Mountain bandits, but servants and clansmen of the Zhang family in Hanoi. There were four to five hundred people in the noisy crowd, blocking the gate to prevent entry and exit. They were shouting that they wanted to meet the governor and seek justice for them!  " Only then did Yuan Mai finally understand. He slapped the table angrily and said, "I thought it was an enemy army coming in. How dare I besiege the mansion? How is it any different from making a rebellion? It's really unreasonable. Take me to see Hanoi!  Yuan Mai is no stranger to the Zhang family. There are nearly 200,000 people in Hanoi, and the Zhang family can be regarded as one of the leading aristocratic families.  During the period of Emperor Ling, someone from the Zhang family held the position of minister and servant in the court, and later a Henan Yin came out, which was regarded as the honorable ancestor of the Zhang family.  In recent years, Hanoi has been controlled by the Yuan family. Although the Zhang family has no high-ranking officials, Fengji's wife Zhang is the daughter of the Zhang family leader, and Fengji is a popular person in front of Yuan Shao.  His prestige is still undiminished, and he often dominates the local area and oppresses the villagers under the banner of being disciplined.  Yuan Mai has already heard about this.  But they were all trivial matters, so Yuan Mai turned a blind eye, adhering to the principle that more things are worse than less things, and he did not want to provoke Mr. Zhang. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? As the Zhang family has a large number of members and servants, there are thousands of them, and their interests are touched, and they have to gossip behind their backs, and smear themselves, which is not worth the gain.  Secondly, he was worried that Fengji would be favored in front of Yuan Shao. If he slandered himself in front of Yuan Shao from time to time, it would inevitably cause unnecessary trouble.  I didn¡¯t expect that this family would step on someone¡¯s nose and besiege their own mansion. They are so audacious, and I can¡¯t bear it!  Surrounded by dozens of guards, Yuan Mai came to the door of the mansion. Looking around, he saw a crowded place in front of the general's mansion. There were old men and young children, well-dressed young men and young ladies.  There were three to four hundred people dressed as servants and maids, men and women, women, children, old and young, and they blocked the gate of the General's Mansion tightly.  Don't tell me, this group of people are very advanced in their consciousness. They not only blocked the door, but also used white cloth to hang a huge banner with a row of big characters written in seal script: "Severely punish the prefect Tian Chou and return the Zhang family to me."  Justice, release Young Master Zhang Pei! " "Hiss the people of this family are so bold. Not to mention what happened, the gate of my dignified governor's mansion was blocked by me. He clearly didn't put me there.  In my eyes!" Yuan Mai suppressed the anger in his heart, walked to the high steps, waved his hand to signal silence, and asked loudly: "What happened? How dare you surround my mansion?"  The group showed no fear at all, but the noisy ones only became more ferocious.  "Is there any royal law? Arrest people when you say they are to be arrested?" "Let people go, let people go, let people go! In Hanoi, it is not the turn of people named Tian to be arrogant!" "Just releasing people is not enough, the prefect of Tianchou must be released  Get rid of it and get rid of it. "Looking at the noisy old, weak, women and children, I don't know where the Zhang family patriarch is hiding. He probably fanned the flames behind his back, then hid, and came out to end it at the critical moment.  The old fox is both cunning and sinister.  Listening to the noisy words of these unruly people, Yuan Mai guessed that Tian Chou had most likely arrested some important person of the Zhang family, which caused the Zhang family to come to make trouble. He turned around and said to the guard: "Quickly send the eunuch Tian Chou to my residence.  Come and ask, what happened? That caused the Zhang family to come to make trouble?" The guard got on his horse from the back door and went straight to the governor's house. He returned immediately after a while and reported to Yuan Mai: "I told you that the governor's house was also occupied.  The Zhang family was blocked. Four to five hundred people brought eggs and vegetables and made a mess in front of the prefect's house. Prefect Tian couldn't get out of the gate! " "What?"Is this the case?  " Yuan Mai was furious. These unruly people are really lawless. If you tolerate them, they will regard you as cowardly. Such wanton behavior, humiliating a county prefect, it is impossible not to punish them severely, otherwise where is the official authority? "  Ask Zhou Cang to bring a thousand soldiers over, arrest all women, children, old and young, and severely punish them. Anyone who dares to resist arrest will be killed on the spot!  " Yuan Mai raised his eyebrows and ordered fiercely, with murderous intent in his eyes. (To be continued.
