Tao Xiude began to eat with his head down, Du Qingchen didn't want to say anything more, he just thought that the person in front of him didn't exist, he started to eat noodles, and the slightly hot noodle soup was poured into his stomach, Du Qingchen faintly regained some energy, and calmed down, to be honest Yes, he was really afraid just now, no one is not afraid of death, and he is also afraid.

After the two finished eating, Su Dong also packed up and went to the kitchen to tidy up.

Du Qingchen sat opposite Tao Xiude and said, "If you have something to do with Mr. Tao, just say it!"

"Okay!" Hearing this, Tao Xiude raised his eyebrows and smiled, took out a stack of silver notes from his arms and slapped it on the table On, said: "This! I personally reward you, and it is a reward for your benevolent deeds."

"No merit, no reward, all the credit should be attributed to the second son of Tao, we are just a bunch of nonsense. It's just a farmer, he only shows his prestige with a hoe and kitchen knife. In fact, it's just a joke in the eyes of others."

"Don't be like this, you don't know how much I appreciate you! From Mengjia Yupei to today, in order to save those children, Going deep into the tiger's den and putting your own safety at risk, whether it's your strategy or your courage, I admire you very much."

Du Qingchen sneered and lowered his head, shaking his head slightly, "Young Master Tao, I don't know what you're talking about, what kind of jade pendant, I don't know at all. I don't understand!"

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if you don't understand! Just listen to me. The reason why the Chen family has come this far and has become a big family in Han County is me. Without any help or evidence, it's hard to shake it. You Du Qingchen, don't you want to be the second in the Chen family?"

"Do you, like the Chen family, regard human life as nothing?" Du Qingchen asked.

"Of course not! My Tao family is a serious family, different from those rude warriors! We learn the way of Confucius and Mencius, and we do all benevolent things, but we can't do such simple and rude things as the Chen family, and we have to go to hell! "Tao Xiude retorted immediately.

Du Qingchen understood, and dared to feel that Tao Xiude was here to receive servants. He wanted himself to be attached to the Tao family like the Chen family attached to Kong Feizhou and the Kong family, to be an affiliated family of the Tao family.

Really look up to him! Du Qingchen lowered his head and hooked his lips ironically.

The Chen family was destroyed, and Han Jun's business family was missing a seat. At the same time, a huge piece of cake was vacated. The Tao family's son personally crushed the Chen family. How could this fruit be picked by others? Naturally, he wanted his own affiliated family to catch this fruit and become Han Jun instead of the Chen family.

In this way, how did the Chen family support Kong Feizhou back then, and in the future, there will be people who support the Tao family in the same way.

And Tao Xiude, took a fancy to him! However, it is not surprising that the temperament and strategy he showed in front of Tao Xiude was very appetizing to Tao Xiude. Moreover, he came from a humble background and had no support. Once he took refuge in the Tao family, he would be easily restrained by the Tao family. Live, hard to betray.

However, he doesn't want to!

To be a servant is to hand over one's life to others. It is normal for a business family to rely on officials and nobles, but he doesn't want to.

Du Qingchen sighed and said, "Young Master Tao, you look up to me, I'm a cook, look at me, I have nothing to pursue, I just want to open a restaurant, cook well and live a good life, what is the Chen family? Second, I can't come!"

"That's not what you said when you were in the secret passage!" Tao Xiude raised his eyebrows, "Who said that his master belongs to the Tao family?! It's not authentic! I heard it!"

"It's just an expedient measure, just to delay the time." Du Qingchen frowned and smiled, "Besides, I'm just a villager, so what if I don't admit it? I'm not a scholar, It's not a big man, yes! I said it, but I regretted it and didn't admit it, so what?"

Tao Xiude couldn't do anything, he could only let Du Qingchen play tricks.

Tao Xiude sighed and said: "Okay! It seems that the weight I gave is not enough. Boss Du! I said Brother Du! I have a distant cousin who came from a wealthy family. Orchid heart, gentle and elegant, worthy of a good match, willing to tell you to be a concubine, from now on, you and the Tao family are in-laws, what do you think?"

He gave enough this time! In order to take Du Qingchen for his own use, he even gave up the girls from relatives, what else could Du Qingchen say! He didn't treat Du Qingchen as a servant at all! He has always said that he is willing to be friends with Du Qingchen as a peer!

Su Dong just washed the dishes and came out of the kitchen. Hearing the words, he froze in place, staring blankly at Tao Xiude.

When Du Qingchen noticed Su Dong coming out, he immediately waved to him. Seeing that Su Dong was stunned and didn't respond at all, he said to Tao Xiude, "Young Master Tao, this is my newlywed husband. Didn't I even send gifts? Now that we are newly married, you are going to concubine me, isn't it right? You just ate my husband's meal! Treat him like this!"

Su Dong finally reacted, viciously He glared at Tao Xiude, walked towards Du Qingchen quickly, took Du Qingchen's arm and said to Tao Xiude: "My husband does not accept a concubine! He only wants me!"

Su Dong said with a guilty conscience, after all, Du Qingchen I didn't say that, but...

"Yes!" Du Qingchen nodded heavily, "I only need one Su Dong in my life, I will never marry another, concubines, other brothers and women, I don't even look at them. Yes!"

Du Qingchen turned back and looked at Su Dong tenderly, Su Dong blushed, what Du Qingchen just said was to coax the young master in front of him? It 's still true...

If it's true...

Du Qingchen seems to be able to see Su Dong's thoughts, and solemnly said: "I'm sincere."

Su Dong's face turned even redder, but he didn't turn around and ran away. Instead, he sat firmly beside Du Qingchen and continued to stare at Tao Xiude with a blushing face.

Tao Xiude was very embarrassed. He was caught by the husband at the scene of giving her husband a concubine. There was nothing more embarrassing. Tao Xiude silently lowered his head and touched his nose.

"Young Master Tao, it's hard to do things with different ways. You and I are not the same people. It's really difficult to work together. Forget it!" Du Qingchen sighed.

Tao Xiude was stunned for a moment, he heard that Du Qingchen really felt that way, "Why?"

"Young Master Tao, do you have to make some things clear? Good! You say you value my benevolence, say you Tao The family follows the way of benevolence and kindness, so I have to ask you for those children, why did the officials encircle the Chen mansion and did not search it? Searching the government for evidence and detaining people?! You surrounded the Chen residence like an iron pass, but you let it wander freely. What do you want?"

Tao Xiude heard the words and slapped the case, "You suspect it's me. What did you do?! You suspect I did it on purpose?!"

Tao Xiude understood what Du Qingchen meant, Du Qingchen suspected that he deliberately allowed the Chen family to kill to increase the Chen family's charges, and Du Qingchen suspected that he was trying to destroy the Chen family , do not hesitate to bury those dozens of children!

"I didn't!" Tao Xiude said coldly, "It's not me!" The

so-called "it's not him" means someone else, Du Qingchen lowered his eyes and understood.

It is true that some people want to use this to increase the charges of the Chen family, and it is true that some people want to knock the mountain and shock the tiger, urge the Chen family to kill, and then kill the Chen family and Kong Feizhou in one fell swoop.

Tao Xiude sat down angrily, and did not mention the matter of gathering Du Qingchen, and instead said: "After I went to your house that time, I rode a fast horse back to the provincial capital and reported the matter. Out of morality, my father informed the Meng family. The Meng family used to be a family heirloom of poetry and calligraphy, but in recent years there have been frequent military commanders. When he learned of this, he immediately sent troops to surround the Chen residence and sent his staff to preside over the matter. No matter how persuaded they don't listen! They want to take revenge for Meng San, and they also want to squeeze Kong Feizhou out of it so that their children can be promoted, what can I do?!"

Tao Xiude looked aggrieved, "I'm just a little bit. A scholar who is famous and has no official status, I just came to cooperate with the investigation of the case. Can I count so many lives in order to deal with Kong Feizhou! I dare to me!"

"That's right!" Tao Xiude slapped the table , "Since you have thought of this, you should know that I rescued you, not a coincidence! If I hadn't rushed over at that time, do you think the soldiers of the Meng family would go in to save you? They wish you had an accident!"

Su Dong Looking at Du Qingchen suspiciously, wondering what happened, Du Qingchen raised his hand and patted the back of Su Dong's hand, "It's okay." Then he turned to Tao Xiude and said, "So, I also want to thank Mr. Tao for saving his life."

When Tao Xiude heard the words, he immediately became happy, "It's good that you understand, I just thought, should I remind you about this! It's good that you can understand it yourself, but you owe me a life!"

"I understand !" Du Qingchen nodded.

"So, you can also understand that the reason why I urged the officials to go in, actually, I didn't want your accident in my heart, and I really wanted to save those children, you can understand! I am the Tao family, the Meng family, and the Kong family. Every family is different!"

Du Qingchen nodded, "I understand."

Tao Xiude breathed a sigh of relief, "It's fine if you understand, as long as there is no misunderstanding between us."

"Naturally, there will be no misunderstanding." Du Qingchen said indifferently. .

This time, the Tao family has won everything. All the dirty and evil things have nothing to do with the Tao family, but the biggest benefit is theirs. The Chen family is destroyed, Kong Feizhou is implicated, and the Meng family may be in the top in the future. , but because of the Chen family's affairs, he owed the Tao family a lot of favor. From then on, Han Jun was the Tao family's dominance.

The most interesting thing is that the Tao family has always been clean in this matter, not even conspiracy!

It was the Chen family who committed murder and the crime, and the Meng family who surrounded the house and knocked the mountain and shook the tiger. The Tao family just informed the Meng family with reason and reason after discovering the jade pendant! And Tao Xiude is even saving people!

What a lot of fun! There are heavens outside the sky, and there are people outside people. He really can't be too arrogant. He must be humble, otherwise when he encounters a person like Tao Taishou, he doesn't even know how he died, and he thinks everything is a coincidence.

The corners of Du Qingchen's mouth twitched slightly, and Tao Xiude didn't mention the previous matter. He faintly felt that Du Qingchen might have guessed more than he wanted him to know, but Du Qingchen owed him a life anyway. If you don't mention it, he doesn't even know. After all, a person like Du Qingchen would never do anything to his savior, he had to be sympathetic.

It's just a pity, Du Qingchen seems to be really unwilling to be used by the Tao family.

Tao Xiude was a little disappointed, but when he thought that Du Qingchen owed him at least one life, that he would never have a bad relationship with the Tao family anyway, and even wanted to help the Tao family at a critical time, he was cheered up again and smiled slightly.

"Brother Du, no matter what you think, I really don't want anyone to die." Tao Xiude said earnestly. He has practiced the Way of Sages since he was a child, and he is really not a villain.

"I understand." Du Qingchen nodded.

Tao Xiude is not a wicked person, he will also feel guilty and guilty, just like he knew that he should not enter the secret way or go, Tao Xiude also knew that he should not go down so early or leave with the official messenger, it is the same . And this kind of behavior is estimated to be against the order of Tao Taishou, so he is grateful!

Before leaving, Tao Xiude insisted on keeping the money, but Du Qingchen refused to accept it.

"You really don't want it? There is one thousand taels of silver here!" Tao Xiude laughed.

"Tao Gongzi didn't feel distressed because of the one hundred taels of silver before, why is he so generous this time?" Du Qingchen still remembers the reluctance when Tao Xiude paid the money when he sold the seller, which is completely different from the present generosity. .

"That's definitely different! The money to buy the money is my pocket money, my own money! But this is the Tao family's money. It may be embarrassing to say it." Tao Xiude scratched his head, "My monthly payment The pocket money is only 80 taels of silver, and it is not easy to save some money. If you spend more than 100 taels at once, of course I feel bad!"

Du Qingchen was speechless for a while, "So this money was given to us by Tao Taishou?"

" It's almost! I call the shots, but it's the same!" Tao Xiude said with a smile, just go back and report the bill. Du Qingchen sighed, "This money

is a bit hot, and I don't dare to take it. If Prefect Tao really wants to reward Su Junxia and the others, I'd better ask Second Young Master Tao to take it for them!"

.

Tao Xiude thought for a while, and knew that Du Qingchen would not accept it, so he nodded, "Okay! But Brother Du, if you pass this village, you won't have this store, maybe Su Junxia and the others will take me happily. Silver, and then take the place of the Chen family for you." Tao Xiude said meaningfully.

"That's their business, it has nothing to do with me."

"Aren't you afraid that one day Su Junxia and the others will climb on top of your head, will your neck feel uncomfortable when you look up at them?"

"No, I'm used to it, who would climb On top of my head, I don't feel any neck discomfort."

Seeing that Du Qingchen's attitude was so determined, Tao Xiude had to give up. He really regretted it. After all, he really felt that Du Qingchen was very suitable. Of course, he was too smart. It would be better if he was a little more stupid.

Tao Xiude turned around and left with regret.

Su Dong listened to it for a while. Although he was confused, he still figured out the general meaning. He heard that this young master was bullying Du Qingchen, and he was trying to take Du Qingchen a concubine! Su Dong will also hold revenge.

Su Dong took a step forward and stammered: "This son hasn't paid for his meal yet!"

Tao Xiude turned around suddenly, Du Qingchen gave Su Dong a surprised look, Su Dong shrank his head, he Did I say something wrong? Either... or everyone should not have heard it, he didn't say anything...

After Du Qingchen reacted, he chuckled and said, "Yeah! Master Tao, a small business, no credit, just a bowl of clear soup. Thank you for your patronage."

Tao Xiude laughed angrily, raised his hand and took out one of the bank notes, and handed it to Du Qingchen, "Here, get the money!"

"I'm sorry, the denomination is too big, I can't find it, Young master, give me three copper coins!" Du Qingchen couldn't help laughing.

Tao Xiude groped for a while, but couldn't find three copper coins from his body. The denomination was too small, and Tao Xiude didn't bother to bring it, so he said, "Wait for me! I'll go out to find a servant." Tao Xiude shoved the silver note into his arms and went out to find a servant to get the money.

Fortunately, the consumption of servants is generally relatively low, and they have copper coins on them. Tao Xiude came back soon, handed Du Qingchen three coins, and sighed: "You will kill you!

"

Retorted , "Young Master will come again next time!" "Think beautifully! I won't come if I don't have a good meal next time!" Tao Xiude waved his hand and walked out the door.

Only then did Su Dong stick out his head and look at Du Qingchen with a smile on his face, "Did I say something wrong and offend that young master?

" Bad, I like to joke, don't worry about it." Du Qingchen patted Su Dong's head with a smile on his face.

Only then did Su Dong feel at ease.

After cleaning up a little, they went home.

Mr. Su, Su Junxia was easily moved by Tao Xiude's words, and attracted by the future of Tao Xiude's plan. He immediately recognized the Tao family as the master and was willing to do things for the Tao family and become the second of the Chen family.

Only then did Tao Xiude hand over the silver tael with a smile, and said, "This is the money for you, use this money to acquire the Chen family's local property, how much can be acquired, the future, this is the foundation of your start, Of course, doing business! Not only must you have money and a shop, but you must also have a certain amount of ingenuity. So, if you don't mind, I can send you a client under my department to be your aide and help you read the documents. Can you accept the contract or something?"

"Accept it! It's all up to the son!" Su Junxia bowed his hands excitedly.

He is finally, finally going to make his mark! The second Chen family! From now on, he will be the second Chen family in town!

Not long after Du Qingchen returned home, the news about Su Junxia and others saving dozens of children spread in the town. Longtan Tiger's Den, regardless of his own safety, is really a hero.

As for Du Qingchen, oh, yes! Su Junxia felt deeply that his intelligence was insufficient, so he forcibly took the owner of the restaurant of the Du family away and asked him to help him come up with ideas. In the end, he took Boss Du to the secret road, but this was forced, not willing, although it was also I came up with an idea and helped a lot...

But Boss Su is a real man, real hero and real chivalrous person! Please pay attention to the main point of the story!

Not long after Du Qingchen returned home, he heard the freshly released gossip rumors from his father. He smiled and gritted his teeth secretly, greeting Tao Xiude from the bottom of his heart.

In order to promote Su Junxia to the top, give him fame, and help him wash away his past notoriety, Tao Xiude is amazing!

it is good! A man who can do great things! For the sake of saving his life, the rumored Boss Du who was forced to take him to the secret way to be a think tank, he recognized it!

However, this one outside suffered from him, and the family did not let him go. Du Qingchen was chased and accused by Du's father for a whole day, and even cried twice about his dead mother, only crying Du Qingchen was upset , I have to promise that I will never do dangerous things again in the future, let alone deal with dangerous people without hiding from my family.

Su Dong nodded again and again, and cooperated very well with Father Du.

Du Rulin hid far away, he was still in the know, so he didn't dare to come forward to help, for fear of attracting the attention of Du's father, thinking of his business! It's time to blame him.

Just as he was talking about the dangerous person, the dangerous person came to the door by himself. This time, Su Junxia brought a gift in a fair manner. As soon as he entered the door, he saw that Boss Du, who in his eyes had no last resort, was trained by his father and shrunk in the corner like a grandson.

Su Junxia looked at Du Qingchen in amazement, as if the person in front of him was not the one he knew at all.

When Father Du saw the person coming, although he knew that Su Junxia had reconciled with his son, he still snorted heavily, turned around and entered the room without entertaining him. Du Qingchen was finally able to escape, relieved, and walked over to invite Su Junxia into the room. .

Anyway, this is the case, they have nothing to hide, and even the matter of Yu Pei was unilaterally affirmed by Tao Xiude, and they did not listen to their explanations at all.

Fortunately, Tao Xiude didn't tell the story, so they didn't wait for the official to come to the door to ask them to cooperate with the case of Chabaigou.

Of course, Su Junxia is now from Tao Xiude. Tao Xiude is improving Su Junxia's reputation. At this time, Su Junxia cannot be linked to the case. This is one of the reasons why Tao Xiude did not speak out.

"Why are you here?" After entering the house, Du Qingchen poured water into Su Junxia and asked.

"Come... thank you, these things, I have always... been very grateful to you." Su Junxia said awkwardly, he was quite embarrassed, after all, he also knew the rumors in the town, all the benefits of fame Being occupied by him alone, Du Qingchen had nothing to do with him, Du Qingchen was busy with them.

"That's it?" Du Qingchen laughed.

"Also...Also! I plan to follow Mr. Tao! But don't worry, I will never talk about Yupei!" Su Junxia hurriedly said, he didn't know that it had been unilaterally confirmed by Tao Xiude. "So, I just wanted to ask you, do you think I'm following Mr. Tao, okay?"

He actually wanted to ask Du Qingchen if there was any danger in this matter. He didn't understand it himself.

Du Qingchen was silent, "Being a thug of the Chen family is actually no different from being a servant of the Tao family, you know?"

"Actually, yes. But the Chen family can be so big! It's also because of being a Kong family. Servant, I... I don't have a big idea, that is, I can be the same as the Chen family, of course! I will never do those things that are against my conscience. Master Tao also said that he will not let me do it! So I Just thinking about..."

"That's it! You can do it if you want. After all, it's hard to say a word, and with your ability, if you don't rely on the forces or some smart people, you will be a gangster in the town at most, or Be a shop owner, but if you are attached to the Tao family, with the help of the Tao family, maybe, you can really become the second Chen family, and the Tao family will not let you do illegal things like the Confucius family. Things. The Tao family has always cherished themselves very much." Du Qingchen said the last sentence meaningfully.

"Is that so! Then, I did it right this time?" Su Junxia said nervously.

"For you, it's a good thing." Du Qingchen chuckled, "Don't think so much, if it weren't for a coincidence, if you wanted to get on the boat of the Tao family, they wouldn't let you on board! This is your blessing! No, This is what you deserve, it is indeed you who made the decision, I am going to save people with you, Boss Su, you are indeed a good person, much better than me."

Su Junxia was relieved and smiled after hearing this. stand up.
