Geng Bao bowed his hand, turned around and left.

Sun Ce sneered and looked at Geng Bao stepping out of the middle door with one foot, then said slowly. "Chief Geng, please stay."

Geng Bao stopped and turned his head to sneer. "General Bao Suzhi said funny, but this joke was too much. It not only violated human nature, but also lost its identity as a general. If the general still talks like this, I think we have nothing to talk about."

Sun Ce looked disdainful. "Believe it or not, you have left this door now. I will send Yuan Tan back to Jizhou immediately, and I won't get a penny?"

Geng Bao was slightly stunned, and then his face became embarrassed. Although he tried his best to hide it, he could not take back the foot that had not yet stepped out of the door. He was Yuan Shao's chief clerk, and he knew Yuan Shao's thoughts. It was not his wish to redeem Yuan Tan, but just a means to appease Guo Tu and other Ru Ying faction. Besides, Yuan Tan had been captured for so long, and he did not express any of it, which was indeed unreasonable. But if Yuan Tan really went back, it would be troublesome even if he could not take charge of the troops again. Just father and son were relatively uncomfortable.

Geng Bao looked at Sun Ce again. When he saw Sun Ce for the first time, Sun Ce was obviously surprised by his appearance. He didn't know his purpose and had no time to discuss with others. These decisions should come from him. This was a bit different from his expectations. Isn't it said that Sun Ce is a martial artist, brave but not resourceful, and why is it so insidious?

Geng Bao stood at the door, neither moving in nor retreating.

Sun Ce twisted his fingers and did not hide the contempt in his eyes. "Yuan Benchu ​​took General Yuan for several months, Yuan Yao, I raised a son for Yuan Benchu ​​for half a year. This favor has been paid back, and it is time to send him back. You can't bear to bear the money, but some people are willing to bear it."

"who?"

"Do you have to say it?"

Geng Bao opened his mouth and swallowed the problem back. Yuan Tan was not only Yuan Shao's son, but also Li Ying's grandson, and the heirs whom the party members had high hopes. There are many rich people among the party members, Zhang Miao was one of them, ranked eight chefs, not the one who was short of money. But in this way, the party members and Yuan Shao's days of parting ways will not be far away.

"A thousand gold is not a small amount, please..."

"Who told you a thousand gold? Three thousand, no one can lose." Sun Ce interrupted Geng Bao without hesitation and shouted sternly: "Give you two months. Before the Shangsi Festival next year, if three thousand gold is not given to me, I will send Yuan Tan back to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival."

Sun Ce paused and asked Geng Bao to digest it, and then said, "There is another thing. Given that Yuan Shao had made a mistake and had a clear intention to rebel, in order to avoid implicating the ancestors of the Yuan family, the Yuan family cemetery in Ruyang would not leave him a place. Let him choose a cemetery in Jizhou so that he would not die without a burial place. He would not be willing to take Yuan Tan back, but Yuan Tan could still worship his eldest father, but the thatched cottage that Yuan Benchu ​​had mourned at the time could not be kept and had to be cleaned up. Yuan Benchu ​​is fifty this year? In a few years, it will be cleared up to see how he explains it."

Geng Bao's scalp was numb when he heard this. This was equivalent to expelling Yuan Shao from his clan. Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were both Yuan Tang's grandchildren. Yuan Tang had four sons, the eldest son Yuan Ping, the second son Yuan Cheng, the third son Yuan Feng, and the fourth son Yuan Wei. Yuan Ping did not live until he was adults and had no descendants. That branch was cut off. Yuan Cheng was equivalent to the eldest son, Yuan Shao and Yuan Tan's lineage. Now Sun Ce wanted to drive Yuan Shao out of the Yuan clan, which was equivalent to breaking Yuan Cheng's bloodline, which was also the greatest insult to Yuan Shao. If Yuan Tan was asked to skip Yuan Shao and directly inherit Yuan Cheng, it would undoubtedly be a crucified Yuan Shao on the pillar of shame.

Who would be expelled from the family and cannot be buried in the family cemetery? Of course, it is someone who cannot honor the ancestors but wants to shame their ancestors. Sun Ce made it clear that Yuan Shao was a rebellion for his edict, and this reason was very sufficient. If Yuan Shao could not defeat Sun Ce and could not control Yuzhou, the crime would be with him for the rest of his life until he could not be picked up. He would face the questioning of the ancestors of the Yuan family in the nine springs.

The consequence was too serious, so serious that Geng Bao could not afford it. Sweat rolled down Geng Bao's forehead and soon wet his collar. He weighed for a while, turned around and came to the hall, bowing to Sun Ce.

"I want to meet Yuan Xiansi first, please help the general."

"Yes." Sun Ce smiled slightly. "I am a very reasonable person. Come and invite Yuan Xiansi." He waved his hand. "I still have something to do, so I won't accompany Chief Geng. Chief Geng can wait in the side yard.

Geng Bao retreated out tactfully, no longer arrogant. As soon as he left the house, Yuan Quan couldn't help laughing. "Are you really planning to do this?"

"Is that OK?" Sun Ce raised his eyebrows. "Don't you think I'm interfering in your Yuan family's affairs, right?"

"You are the heir designated by your father, so what can you do? Boyang has now inherited the title of Marquis An Guoting and is also the direct descendant of his great-grandfather. He is still young, and without your help, he would not be what he is today."

"Okay, okay, I understand what you mean." Sun Ce smiled and raised his hand. Although this was to vent his anger for Yuan Shu and Yuan Quan would not object, after all, Yu Li was incompatible. Interference in the Yuan family's family affairs would affect Yuan Yao's reputation, making people feel that he was just a puppet. Yuan Quan did not say it out loud, and was to save face for him. "Next time, this kind of thing would be left to Boyang to do."

"Thank you for your understanding, husband." Yuan Quan nodded gratefully, paused, and said, "But then again, if Boyang really wants to do it, he can't do it so well. Boyang is still too gentleman after all."

"I'm going to be angry!" Sun Ce said with a huge face and pretending to be angry: "You are calling me a rogue."

Yuan Quan smiled and said, "How dare you? How dare you? I have no other intentions. I just say that in terms of style of conduct, you can satisfy my father better."

Sun Ce laughed loudly, and Yuan Quan also raised his sleeves to cover the corner of his raised mouth, but could not hide his curved eyebrows and deep love. She felt that her father Yuan Shu had done countless ridiculous things in his life, and only this one was done the most perfect. In the troubled times, Yuan Yao had no ability to protect himself, and only a hero like Sun Ce could inherit his career.

"You really plan to extort Yuan Benchu's third thousand gold?"

"What is cheating? This is what your father deserves. When the palace was robbed, they two brothers were taken away by Yuan Benchu, but your father wanted to go to Nanyang to see people's faces? Besides, you know that I am really short of money now. Not only is my pocket empty, but I also owe a lot of debts. It's also worth asking him for some debts. I tell you, if the emperor can give out 20,000 gold, even if my sister refuses to marry, I will ask her to marry."

Sun Ce scratched his head, and the smile on his face turned into a bitter smile. "If you don't be a boss, you don't know how expensive it is. Even a little kid can tell that I am so poor now. If this battle is not good next year, these industries in Yuzhou will be cheaper Yuan Benchu. You can collect some interest in advance and reduce some losses."

Yuan Quan said: "Would you like to discuss with each company and borrow a little more? As long as the general speaks, they will give you some more."

"No need, I have borrowed a lot. If I borrow it again, they will worry about my ability to repay and lose confidence." Sun Ce narrowed his eyes and sighed softly. "Another way to fish in the waters is that officials force the people to rebel. The more powerful they hold, the more they cannot be anxious for success, otherwise they will sit on the accumulated wages and play with fire, and one day they will light themselves."
