Yuan Mai was surprised by Sun Gan's sudden visit.

I had nothing to do with Liu Bei and suddenly sent an envoy to come. What's the point?

Without even thinking too much, he sorted out his clothes and hurried to the reception room in the front yard to summon Sun Gan.

I saw Sun Gan at about 35 or 36 years old. His appearance was somewhat similar to Zhuge Jin. At first glance, he was good at speaking and often played diplomatic roles.

"Meet Yuan Bingzhou, Sun Gan is polite!"

He knew that the governor of Bingzhou was very young, but when he saw Yuan Mai, who was eighteen or nineteen years old, Sun Gan was still a little surprised and hurriedly bowed to him.

But I was envious of Liu Bei. It was so good to be born in a prominent family. I enjoyed my success. When I was young, I became a prince who controlled a state. However, Liu Bei, the emperor uncle, kept running around and working hard, and it was really awesome!

After the greetings, Sun Ganming's followers presented gifts, mostly rare treasures, including the precious Double Dragon White Jade Wall, Shang Dynasty porcelain, bronze ware, as well as some pearl jade, gold and silver jewelry, etc., which were filled with a box, which was priceless.

Although Liu Bei lacked military and generals and territory, he did not lack money. After marrying the eldest daughter of the Mi family and getting Mi Zhu, the brother-in-law who was rich and wealthy, Liu Bei was very generous in money.

In addition, he defeated Yuan Shu some time ago and enjoyed his achievements. He took over the wealth that the guy who had accumulated over the years and had successfully taken over it. Liu Bei's wealth has increased dramatically. In the past six months, all diplomatic routes have been opened with money and have achieved great results.

"This is my lord's wish. Please accept it with a smile!" Sun Gan smiled and gently closed the lid of the box and signaled Yuan to buy it.

After understanding Sun Gan's purpose, Yuan Mai immediately decided to form an alliance with Liu Bei.

Anyway, it doesn't hurt me. One more ally is better than one more enemy. Moreover, his most important enemy is Cao Cao. Liu Bei rushed to the door and begged for an alliance, but he couldn't get it.

After the end of the Guandu Battle next year, Cao Cao's next step is likely to focus his attack on Hanoi. With Liu Bei restraining Cao Cao's troops in the south, he can greatly reduce his pressure. Why not do it?

Although Yuan Mai has been the governor for half a year, he has never found a chance to get rich. He does not want to forcefully take away the people, and he cannot deduct military pay. He only relies on the filial piety of officials from all over the country to have such a little wealth in his hands.

But there were six or seven women in the backyard, and dozens of maids and servants. In terms of economy, it was "Alexander". Liu Bei suddenly sent such a box of treasures, which was really a timely help. If Yuan Mai didn't accept it, he would definitely have a water in his head.

"Haha... the emperor is really a shame. Since Mr. Gongyou brought it from Huainan, I'm not polite, I'll give you a gift too!"

Yuan Mai accepted the gift with a smile and ordered someone to summon Zhuge Jin to entertain Sun Gan. He was just Liu Bei's envoy. As a chief official and a prince in the area, there was no need to receive Sun Gan himself.

However, the gifts Yuan Mai gave back were 100 stools. These were all those that Zhen Mi had not sold. There were still thousands of them in the backyard. She was worried that there was no place to deal with them, but she unexpectedly came in handy at this moment. So she ordered the servant to move them out of the backyard and put them in the car for Sun Gan.

Yuan Mai originally wanted to give Liu Bei a thousand, but after thinking about it, he gave too much and seemed to be worthless. So he changed his decision and only gave one hundred. There is a saying that goes, "Scarcity is precious." Liu Bei might take it as a treasure after seeing him!

"This is definitely a product with high-tech content. Liu Bei is not at a loss at all!" Yuan Mai wore a thick cloak and a mink hat. Looking at the servant loading the car, he smiled in his heart.

Sun Gan had never seen such a strange thing before. After picking up one and experiencing it for a moment, he couldn't help but give Yuan Mai a thumbs up and praised: "Although this thing is small, it is unique and unique. I will definitely like it when I see it. I am here to express my grace to the envoy!"

After the carriage was loaded, Sun Gan went to the inn to the banquet accompanied by Zhuge Jin, and Yuan Mai didn't need to worry about the rest. He ordered the servant to move the rare treasures given by Liu Bei to the backyard. At this moment, several women were having a lot of fun in mahjong.

"My ladies and beauties, stop just having fun. Come and see what gifts I received today, my husband!"

Yuan Mai interrupted the game with a high-five and opened the box to greet them. He didn't care that Feng Yunniang and Cai Yan were outsiders, and they were all called her wife.

Although women love to play, they love rare treasures and instantly gathered around them. They looked at this and that, almost everyone couldn't let go of them.

Yuan Mai Dafa was compassionate and generously asked each of them to pick a favorite item to collect, and the rest should be sent to the vault for storage in case of emergency.

At this moment, hurried footsteps sounded outside the room, and the servant reported panickedly outside the door: "Report to the governor, something is wrong, and the mansion is surrounded!"

"What? The mansion was surrounded?"

Yuan Mai was suddenly confused. He was excited just now, and the chattering women were also startled and looked at each other, not understanding what was going on? How could the "General's Mansion" be surrounded by it?

Yuan Mai took a deep breath, waved his hand to signal the women to be calm, and then pretended to be calm and opened the door, stared at the servant outside the door, and asked calmly: "Is it surrounded by Cao's army?"

"no……"

The servant arched his body and spoke while wiping the sweat beads on his forehead. In such a cold day, he could run away and sweat all over, which shows how urgent the situation is!

"Who is it not Cao's army? Black bandits or Hun soldiers?" Yuan Mai became more and more confused, "Take a breath and talk slowly!"

After the servant took a long breath, he calmed down and said anxiously: "It's not Cao's army or Black Mountain bandits, but the servants and tribe members of the Zhang family in Hanoi. It's noisy, with four or five hundred people blocking the gate and preventing entry and exit. He yelled to meet the governor and preside over justice for them!"

Yuan Mai then understood a little, and slapped the table angrily and said, "I think it's the enemy who came in, and how dare I siege the mansion. What's the difference between causing trouble? It's really outrageous. Take me to see!"

Speaking of the Zhang family in Hanoi, Yuan Mai is not unfamiliar with him. The Zhang family is the first-class family in Hanoi.

During the reign of Emperor Ling, some people in the Zhang family took the position of Shangshu Pushe in the court, and later a Henan Yin was released, which was considered to be a blessing for the Zhang family.

In recent years, Hanoi has been controlled by the Yuan family. Although the Zhang family has lost its official position, Feng Ji's wife Zhang is the daughter of the head of the Zhang family. Feng Ji is also a celebrity in front of Yuan Shao. The Zhang family's majesty remains undiminished. They often act as a mighty local area under the banner of Feng Ji and oppress villagers.

Yuan Mai has long heard of this. However, it was all trivial matters, so Yuan Mai turned a blind eye. Based on the principle that it is better to have less than more things, he did not want to provoke Zhang.

First, the Zhang family has a large population, and there are thousands of people and servants alone. They have touched their interests. They have to gossip behind their backs and slander themselves, which is not worth the loss. Second, they are afraid that Feng Ji will be favored in front of Yuan Shao. If he slanders himself in front of Yuan Shao every now and then, it will inevitably cause unnecessary trouble.

Unexpectedly, the Zhang family stepped on their nose and besieged their own mansion. They were so bold that they could not bear it. My aunt would not bear it!

Yuan Mai surrounded dozens of guards and came to the door of the mansion. Looking around, he saw a burly crowd in front of the general's mansion, including old men and children, young and old men, young and old men, and servants and maids dressed in servants and maids. There were three or four hundred men, blocking the gate of the general's mansion tightly and was scattered.

You know, this group of people is still very advanced in consciousness. Not only did they block the door, but they also made a huge banner with white cloth, with a row of big words written in seal script: "Severely punish the prefect Tian Chou, give me justice to Zhang, and release the young master Zhang Pei!"

"Hiss... The Zhang family is so bold. Not to mention what happened, the gate of my dignified state governor's residence actually blocked me, and I clearly didn't take me seriously!"

Yuan Mai suppressed his anger and walked to the high stairs, waved his hand to signal An Jing, and asked loudly: "What happened? How dare you surround my mansion?"

The group of people were not afraid of the appearance of the governor, and the noise was even more fierce.

"Is there any other way to the king? If you say you arrest someone, you will arrest him?"

"Let people go, let people go, let people go! It's not the turn of the tyrant surnamed Tian in our Hanoi!"

"It's not enough to just let people go. Tian Chou's prefect must be removed and beaten to relieve his hatred!"

Looking at the noisy old, weak, women and children, I don’t know where the patriarch of the Zhang family hid. Eighty-mostly, he had fanned the flames behind him and then hid, and came out to end at the critical moment. These old foxes were both cunning and black-hearted.

Hearing these clamorous words from the unruly people, Yuan Mai guessed that it was probably Tian Chou who arrested some important figure in the Zhang family, which caused the Zhang clan to come to the door to cause trouble. He turned around and said to the guards: "So quickly send the prefect Tian Chou to our mansion to ask, what happened? So that the Zhang clan came to cause trouble?"

The guards turned over from the back door and headed straight for the prefect's mansion. After a moment, they returned and reported to Yuan Mai: "When you go back to the governor, the prefect's mansion was blocked by the Zhang family. Four or five hundred people were holding eggs and green vegetables made the front of the prefect's mansion mess. Prefect Tian couldn't get out of the gate!"

"What, is it unreasonable?"

Yuan Mai was furious. These unruly people are really lawless. If you tolerate them, they will regard you as cowardly. You act so recklessly and humiliate a county prefect and do not punish them seriously. Otherwise, where is the authority of the official?

"Let Zhou Cang bring a thousand soldiers here and arrest all the women, children, young and old, and severely punish them. Who dares to resist arrest and behead them on the spot!"
