…
A few days later, invitations were received from various aristocratic families in Xuzhou.
According to the time and place mentioned on the invitation, no aristocratic family was left behind.
At the invitation of Xuzhou Mu Taoqian, all the aristocratic families sent their representatives, whether willing or unwilling, to attend this meeting of the aristocratic families.
Zhao Zun estimated the time, confirmed the time of his arrival, and when it was his turn, he took his carriage and headed to the target location.
After arriving at the target location, Zhao Zun stepped down from his carriage, looked at the empty yard in front of him and the people protecting him, and breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed that Tao Qian, an old man, was still willing to abide by the rules and did not hold a Hongmen Banquet.
Although the two sides are not dealing with each other, this lack of dealing with them is also private. If it is really exposed in the public, even if Zhao Zun is a son of a big family in Xuzhou, it will be very uncomfortable.
Following the summons from the side, Zhao Zun straightened his clothes and walked in.
After entering the courtyard, at a glance, you can see various aristocratic families in Xuzhou, large and small, and some powerful ones.
From this point of view, the old man Tao Qian really only called people from the aristocratic family, and he didn't know what the purpose was, and he needed to discuss with so many people.
Zhao Zun silently walked through the crowd, finally sat down in his own seat, and sat down slowly.
Not long after, Zhao Zun found someone sitting next to him.
Then he looked sideways and looked over, and after just a brief glance, he recognized this person.
His reputation has spread all over the world, and he can be called Chen Deng and Chen Yuanlong, a famous official in the country.
"I didn't expect that the Chen family would actually let you out. I'm really surprised." Zhao Zun's eyes flashed with joy and he said to Chen Deng with a slight smile.
Although I don't know what Tao Qian is going to do today, it is probably difficult to guess with Zhao Zun's intelligence, but it doesn't matter now.
The guy next to him is definitely smart enough. As long as there is any trap, he will definitely be able to see it. If there is a trap that Chen Deng can't see, he, Zhao Zun, doesn't need to struggle.
Adhering to the principle that the enemy of his enemy is his friend, Zhao Zun spoke up first and greeted politely.
After Chen Deng knelt down, he heard a voice coming from the side, looked sideways, and nodded slowly.
"I didn't expect it to be you. Xing Xing, will you represent the Zhao family today?" Chen Deng said slightly surprised.
It is not that there are no capable people in the Zhao family, but in the end, sending this person here probably requires too much consideration. It seems that today's meeting may not go smoothly.
"Yuanlong, how dare you, how dare you, I know myself. This time, I am mainly responsible for listening. As for the other things, it has nothing to do with me." Zhao Zun did not hesitate, and calmly stated the purpose of coming today. .
With a pair of ears but no mouth, no matter what Tao Qian said today, Zhao Zun thought he was mute and would not express his opinions casually.
Everyone present was a high-profile person in Xuzhou. If he said the wrong thing, he would be very embarrassed.
It is better to extinguish the thoughts in your heart from the beginning, speak less and listen more, and reduce the chance of making mistakes.
Chen Deng glanced at Zhao Zun gently, smiled slightly, and then sat upright again, quietly waiting for the arrival of the person in charge.
As for Zhao Zun, Chen Deng didn't need to think too much to understand Zhao Zun's thoughts, or the Zhao family's thoughts.
Be diligent, there is no such good thing in the world, there is only gain and no effort.
How long can the benefits obtained through this behavior last?
Not every time, you can have such a special opportunity.
Zhao Zun looked at the silent Chen Deng, thought about himself for a moment, then laughed calmly, resumed his sitting position, and also waited.
As the number of people almost arrived, Zhao Zun glanced around and his heart sank.
It is true that many wealthy families came, but there were also some who did not come.
Now that Tao Qian is old, how dare he not come when faced with an invitation under such circumstances?
Zhao Zun silently remembered every empty seat and discussed it with his family later.
When he glanced at a certain position in the front row, Zhao Zun became even more silent.
Although the Mi family is just a wealthy businessman, their decisiveness is still quite terrifying.
If you say you want to go to Mount Tai, then go to Mount Tai. I probably have no idea of coming back now.
Taishan Chamber of Commerce seems to make a lot of money. It is one of the top five wealthy businessmen in the world. It's a pity that it is not a wealthy family after all.
Zhao Zun didn't look down on the Mi family at all, but rather envied them.
After all, so much money is also a manifestation of strength, although in troubled times, it is like a fat lamb, enough to attract a pack of wolves.
But where there are rules, good power can also be exerted.
And among the princes in today's world, funding with so much wealth can become a qualified stepping stone to step into the door.
Forget it, let's discuss it with the Mi family later to see if there is a chance to work together and make some money to support the family.
We are all from Xuzhou, so I hope you can give me some face.
As everyone arrived, everything was ready except for some empty seats.
At this time, Tao Qian slowly walked out and sat on the main seat.
Chen Deng looked at Tao Qian's steps, a look of thought flashed in his eyes, and then he lowered his head calmly.
After Tao Qian took his seat, he looked at the few empty seats in the field without any change in his expression, as if he had never seen such a situation. He was calm and calm.
As Tao Qian's eyes glanced over, everyone present fell silent instantly, waiting quietly for Tao Qian's words.
Chen Deng glanced at Tao Qian's appearance, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
Even though he has become so old and has difficulty moving, can he still have such a deterrent effect?
The centipede insect is dead but not stiff. It seems that it needs to restrain itself and wait a little longer.
Of course, admiration is due to admiration. When it comes time to plot against Tao Qian to strengthen his family, Chen Deng will not let go of any opportunity.
Chen Deng knew very well what position and angle he stood on and what to do.
Zhao Zun looked at Tao Qian like this and couldn't help but shake his head in his heart. He has become like this, how long can he be protected?
Tao Qian looked at everyone like this and felt quite satisfied in his heart.
No matter how old he is, even if he is unable to move, as long as he is still alive, these people will always be afraid of him, and even if he has any plans, they cannot be exposed openly.
This was the intimidating power that belonged to Tao Qian alone. With his old age, he directly shocked everyone present.
