There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

Miss Zhen's family tossed and turned on the bed, almost half the night without sleep.

Her heart was full of turbulent waves and deep self-blame.

Although we haven't been together for a long time, Zhen Mi can tell and feel that the pottery merchant is a good person, although the goodness is not so pure, but compared with Yuan Shao who can sacrifice others at will for personal benefit , the potter's sentiment is far more noble.

The Zhen family’s shops are not to say spread all over the world, but every state and county has at least some properties that belong to them. For these years, for the Zhen family, apart from their family in Jizhou, Hebei, the southeast pottery governed is the best place to make money. The resources are the most abundant, the people's livelihood is the most prosperous, and the people live and work in peace and contentment the most.

These are not rumors from other people, but the people in charge of the shops in the southeast of the Zhen family, including Zhen Mi, summed up the profits and losses of the accounts every year.

"Ugh"

Thinking of this, Zhen Mi turned over and got up, went to the table, lit the oil lamp in the dark room, and stared blankly at the lamp in a daze.

Under the illuminated light, it reflected the bamboo slips that the pottery merchant taught Zhen Mi the new accounting method the day before. In Zhen Mi's eyes, Zhen Mi saw the well-formed form, and the scenes seemed to be vivid in his memory.

Zhen Mi clenched her lips and finally made up her mind.

She put on her clothes and walked out of the room hesitantly.

When I was young, I saw her coming outside the courtyard where the pottery merchant lived, and I wanted to step in, but just as I took the step, I hesitated a bit under my feet.

Just when Zhen Mi was hesitating, suddenly, a voice suddenly sounded from the side, which startled him a lot.

"Who?"

Zhen Mi hurriedly turned her head to look, but saw A Fei dodging behind her at some point, staring at her warily.

But when Ah Fei saw that it was Zhen Mi, he was taken aback for a moment, then put away his fierce expression, and showed a playful smile.

"Who am I? So it's Miss Zhen."

Zhen Mi clutched her chest, and said in surprise: "You scared me to death, who are you?"

"Oh, Miss Zhen has no impression of me. I am the guard under Mr. Tao Cheng Tao."

"Nursing courtyard?" Zhen Mi looked him up and down suspiciously: "You are a nursing courtyard that stays up most of the night, why are you scaring people here?"

"Miss misunderstood, I'm just protecting my husband's safety, and I'm just on duty at night."

Zhen Mi breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Then please go and report to your husband, I have something important to see him, it is very important, please trouble him"

Ah Fei laughed, waved his hands and said: "Miss Zhen, you don't have to be so polite, you and my husband are all in the same family, so why don't you bother so much."

Zhen Mi was taken aback when she heard the words: "When did your husband and I become a family?"

Ah Fei's habit of breaking his tongue again: "You have been taken over by my husband and you have become his wife. Isn't this a family?"

Zhen Mi's expression became stiff all of a sudden.

When he was young, the pottery merchant was awakened by Ah Fei, and came to the side hall with sleepy eyes, sat down with Zhen Mi, yawned and said, "Miss Zhen doesn't sleep in the middle of the night? What can I do with Tao?"

Before he finished speaking, the potter suddenly felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere.

Zhen Mi looked at her with extremely resentful eyes, faintly revealing a sense of great grievance, how should that expression be described?

It's like having your innocence ruined by a potter.

"I, I don't seem to have asked you to borrow money recently, have I? Did you borrow it?" The pottery merchant asked Zhen Mi suspiciously.

He was really a little confused.

Zhen Mi took a deep breath, holding back what A Fei said to her just now.

This prodigal son did one thing in front of the other, and said that he was his woman outside behind his back, so he dared not admit it in person!

Zhen Mi shook her head, and said suddenly: "Mr. Tao came from the southeast, and he is also from the same clan as the Prime Minister. He heard that the southeast is rich and prosperous, and the people of the Han Dynasty rushed to move to the south. Dare I ask why?"

The potter didn't expect Zhen Mi to come to him in the middle of the night to ask this?

While looking at Zhen Mi suspiciously, he said, "It's mainly because of the reforms, economic development, law rebuilding, raising people's serious injuries, farming and governance since Mr. Taiping took charge of the southeast, and it has achieved today's results."

Zhen Mi nodded when she heard the words, and said, "Sir, you are a relative of the prime minister. Dare I ask you, what kind of person do you think the prime minister is? Good or bad?"

The pottery merchant couldn't help but smile wryly when he heard the words: "It's not good, but it's not particularly bad. The prime minister is also a human being, with his relatives, enemies, ideals, things he must do, and things he must Principles and bottom lines to be adhered to.”

Speaking of this, the pottery merchant suddenly looked at Zhen Mi seriously, and said seriously: "At least, he definitely didn't kill people who were not his enemies for no reason."

Faced with the potter's serious eyes, Zhen Mi burst into tears.

"You, did you already know?"

The pottery merchant smiled and said: "Although I knew it a long time ago, I haven't exposed you because I think you are a kind person. There must be some hidden worries behind this matter, so I have been waiting for you to take the initiative to talk to me." be honest."

Speaking of this, the potter said indifferently: "Who has no faults? If you know your mistakes, you can correct them. There is nothing good about it."

Zhen Mi gently wiped away her tears, and said in a low voice: "Little girl understands that I am here tonight, and I just want you to know that I am not that kind of person."

After finishing speaking, seeing her get up gracefully, she greeted An Shili: "Minister Zhen Mi, I have met the prime minister."

"Sit down." The pottery merchant waved his hand and said, "You are a woman and a white merchant, why do you want to get involved in the struggle between Yuan Shao and me?"

While sobbing, Zhen Mi told the story.

In fact, the reason was very simple and rude. After Zhen Yan's death, the head of the Zhen family was Zhen Mi's brother Zhen Yao, but now the main male of the Zhen family was transferred by Yuan Shao to serve as a hostage.

Although Yuan Shao didn't make the point so clear, Zhen Mi was not stupid, and naturally knew Yuan Shao's real intentions.

On the one hand, the life of his biological brother was on the other hand, and on the other hand, he was letting himself kill a person he had never met. The torment Zhen Mi's conscience suffered during this period of time was beyond imagination.

After all, she is just a weak woman.

The pottery merchant sighed and said, "To me, you are guilty, but you are not at fault."

Zhen Mi wiped her red eyes and nodded.

"Girl, you told me the truth today, and Yuan Shao will settle accounts with you in the future? What should you do?"

Zhen Mi smiled bleakly, and said: "I'll talk about the matter in the future. After all, the little girl's conscience is going to pass. Some things are destined by God and cannot be forced. If Yuan Gong wants to blame, then the little girl will bear it all. At least"

Speaking of this, Zhen Mi paused, and said, "At least, the little girl did no harm."

The pottery merchant blinked at her for a while, then suddenly smiled.

"Just what you said just now, don't worry, I will help you with this matter, so that your Zhen family is safe and sound this time, this is also the reward for your honesty and kindness."

6 Chapter Eighty

On the second day, a group of Wuhuan people pretending to be Xiongnu led the potters, Zhen Mi and others to set off towards the valley where three thousand high-quality horses were hidden, as they said.
